Closing her eyes, she allowed the darkness to just reside. Or she would have liked to, but Spike was still lapping at her nethers with his agonizingly slow pace. “Oh, that’s sweet Spike, but I think I need to rest a bit.” Yet she still felt his tongue. She opened her eyes drowsily. She frantically moved—her eyes were open, but her vision was still filled with darkness. She felt something restricting her fore and hindlegs, unsure of what was happening she instinctively teleported. A small splash reverberated as she landed softly on her flank. She felt the wetness of the floor seep into her fur. Quickly she casted a light spell, her heart pounding as her reality came too. Her body was unsure how to process the sudden shock juxtaposed against the relief of knowing that she was not, in fact, blind. She took in the dark grey stone surrounding her. It basked in a faint violet hue from her own light. She rose to her hooves and looked behind her to see what had been restraining her. A contraption faced her, binds for her legs lying limp, the mount she likely was braced on moments prior would have raised her a metre above the ground, and a wheel with many evenly spaced brushes still rotated slowly, the strokes being the perfect height to glide across a mare’s entrance. The speed of the brushes was eerily familiar to the slow tease Spike had been indulging her in a moment earlier…. It was a dream? And I was dreaming about doing such things with Spike… She shivered, instantly discarding the thought. She shook head a bit, and all the puzzle pieces slid into place as the initial shock faded, one word—or rather—Draconequus came to mind: Discord. The memories rushed to the forefront of her still hazy mind: the hooded ponies in the Everfree. The large crude-iron crucible full of litres of white liquid they poured, flowing down the crevices of a throned stone potpourri creature’s form. The liquid riddling cracks in the embalmment, revealing the creature’s true form. He had looked somehow different though—it all happened too fast for her to recall the specifics. Only Discord’s wicked smile and some of his typical cryptic speech were fresh on her mind. Rainbow Dash had flown straight into the center of it all—Rainbow Dash! Oh no, where are my friends? How long have I been asleep? Oh Celestia, if this is what I woke up too, what are they going through? I need to find them fast. She spent no time contemplating further as the memory of her friends drove her to action. She rushed down the dimly lit hall. She got down a few halls before realizing that Discord surely had put her here for his own devious amusement. Slowing her pace, she reasoned that everyone would be safer if she didn’t risk running blindly into another one of his “jokes.” She delved into what would turn out to be an agonizing long search, all the halls were the same narrow corridors of the rough-cut stone walls. They forked and turned; the mare wrestled with the notion of how easy it would be to get lost. On edge, each turn held for her expectations that did more to taunt her than any actual trick could. As time went on, she became frustrated, “Okay, Discord I know you’re watching, mind telling me what your plan is this time?” However, no answer came, she let out a huff. Continuing her search, an hour would pass as the dullness of the scenery won over her trepidation of its creator. The walls didn’t jump at her, no weird creatures harassed her, no whispers from deceivers—just grey and her own violet light. With the mundanity, her mind began to wander. The first thought pertained to the only thing that she had noticed being different in the scenery—so far there was no sign of any dampness or puddles like the one she awoke in. A shocking thought followed it—Did I make that puddle…? Oh, Sweet Celestia—how long was I asleep for!? That whole time I was… she immediately ended the line of thinking, believing it would be best to not know the answer to that question for her own dignity’s sake. Instead, she refocused on using what clues she had gotten out of this situation. Clearly Discord is behind this, it’s possible that none of these passages will lead me to my friends. While it would be his best move to just waste my time, it’s too out of character for him. Speaking of which, this is all oddly out of character of him, this maze isn’t amusing—it’s nothing short of boring, in some way even formal…. And the machine? Discord has poor taste, and, well, a general lack of respect for anyone, but that was particularly disgusting even for him…. I could probably just teleport out of here, but where exactly is here? I could get out—but getting back without even a landmark to base my destination on… I’m not going to risk that till I know for certain none of my friends are trapped here. Her thinking concluded with the first sound she had heard since leaving the chamber she had been bond in. Faint and short, but the direction was clear in this silent maze. She immediately galloped towards it, it sounded perhaps like an animal occasionally yapping. As she got closer, it was maybe a mare’s voice. Listening intently for every time it resumed before—It’s Rarity’s! She’s here, she’s okay. As Twilight homed in on it, it became less a voice and more a series of moans, the sound she had been hearing in the distance was revealing itself to be punctuated squeals that interrupted a longer series of more subdued murmurs. A sound that Twilight reluctantly accepted could only be a mare in heat. Damn you Discord, hang in there Rare, I’m coming. Despite every fiber of her body demanding she rushed fully forward, her more rational mind overcame it, and she settled on she would be better off retaining the element of surprise and a bit of caution. As she slowly cantered, careful not to make a sound, she could hear Rarity’s moans get a little more frequent and louder. Clenching her teeth, she snuck closer. She was suddenly startled—nearly falling on her hindquarters—a creature the length of her foreleg scurried along the wall. She watched with unease trying to slow her breath. Staring in morbid curiosity, the creature was unlike anything she had seen before. It was flat, almost V-shaped with four long legs. Its skin? A shimmering, velvety black. It moved even slower than her, creeping along the wall. She kept her eye on it as she skirted past—the repression of her instinct to run, to scream, to do just about everything her body knew it should do in this situation was eating away at her. She did her best to keep moving, trying to avoid the much too large insect, while keeping her eyes on it she hugged the wall opposite. Suddenly, in the corner of her eye, a fast blur rocketed through the air. Feeling the impact and the oddly smooth legs on her face— the slightly wet body, like a flying dog’s tongue—her last line of composure snapped. She screamed as the creature crawled over her, suddenly another landed on her flank, accompanied by one more on her hoof. Quickly she used her magic to rip the one off her face. Chucking it as hard as she could, it made a muted noise as it collided with the brick. She felt the one on her flank begin to touch her private spot which triggered another illicit as well as a quick peel and toss. The hall soon danced with bright light as she blasted every square centimetre of the corridor with searing magic, hoping to ensure whatever these creatures were, another one would not be privy to touch her. Her horn was warm from the intense burst of magic, steam wicked off it as she huffed and slowed her breath. She snapped out of her panicked state following another sharp eep emanate from Rarity. Right, damn, so much for any element of surprise—Rarity is probably getting attacked by these—whatever-the-hells, I need to get her out of there quick. Galloping at full dash, she trailed the whimpers, and increased the intensity of her light spell as to spot anymore of the velvety fiends. Her heart sank as she saw the corridor ahead crawled with the bizarrely flat creatures, making the walls even darker—and oddly reflective at the same time. Celestia damn it all, I don’t have time for this, I can get them off myself, but Rarity clearly doesn’t have that luxury, I’ll tend to her first. She flicked her wings twice, took a deep breathe, and shot herself down the corridor. She began barreling through the hall of clingy monstrosities, picking off what she could from her body as she travelled at a hurdling speed. She screamed as she suddenly felt one manage to land square on her groin and wrap around her flanks. Her fear spiked as she felt a slight suction between her legs. She tried to pull it off, but it had wrapped it long legs around her flanks in an interlocking style, a simple tug wasn’t going to do. she was too busy tearing off every single one that was diving towards her face anyways. Her resolve was reinforced by the sound of Rarity’s moans reaching an all time high. She tried her best to ignore the creature that had sealed itself to her snatch and its rhythmic pulsing. Horrified by the idea of what would happen if she were to trip right now, she continued her cannonball vault. In the distance she saw potential salvation in the form of an arched door. She soared to a chorus of scurrying creatures and Rarity’s erratic squeals. Crashing into the door, she tumbled several metres before instantly getting up and slamming the door shut with her magic. Darting her eyes back and forth, she landed her gaze on Rarity: entrapped in a large glass cabinet. Light shining on her. A pool of white covering her haunches. Somehow, despite her imagination’s previously conjured worst expectation of what she would find behind this door, the reality still managed to surpass it. The sight before her was so bizarre it made her forget all about the insect suckling on her. There Rarity was, stood up-right on her hind-legs by a bar that held her back straight and locked her head in place. The pool of white was thick and viscous. Her fur was matted with it all over. Rubbery cuffs wrapped her forelegs and drew them just over her head. A thick tube fixed to her mouth with some-sort of gag was filled with the similar white liquid, Twi’s eyes followed its loose trajectory where it arced up and receded into the top of the cabinet. But most shocking of all was the generous horse cock sprouting from Rarity’s crotch. It was large enough to show up most stallions. Her engorged smooth white balls swam in the pool of white, providing enough contrast to reveal the beige-ness of the liquid. The shaft of her cock arced up reflecting her body’s crescent-like pose. It was silky white at the base following a faint purple rose past the medial ring concluding at her tip. It looked… agonizingly erect. Her tip flared slightly, and a small stream of cream dribbled from it to the pool below. Rarity’s cock suddenly twitched and pulsated, and Twilight was broken out of her stupor by a final cry of ecstasy as Rarity’s member spurted over her own face. Twilight stood up to take a closer look at Rarity’s confines, before realizing that her own body was still getting assaulted by the satin creature. It embarrassed her, to an onlooker it looked almost as if she was wearing fetishtic latex panties. She managed to unhook its interlocking legs with a dexterous use of levitation. It responded by suckling on her moist hole even fiercer causing Twilight to let out a small squeak herself and a momentarily loss of focus on her spell. She reoriented herself and slowly peeled it off with her magic. Blushing at the shamefulness of it, her pussy was soaked underneath the creature’s near air-tight grip. she destroyed all the creatures that tagged along past the door before recomposing herself, and double checking that the room was free of them. Rarity hadn’t responded to her presence yet; she was clearly blindfolded. Twilight supposed that the glass was blocking most sound. Well I sure can hear Rarity… Twilight proverbially smacked herself for the ill-timed snark. She opted to yell, “Okay Rarity , don’t worry, I’m here now, I’m going to get you out of there. Okay? You’re going to be alright; I’ll undo whatever Discord did to you. Ok?” *Gulk* *Gulk* *Gulk* was the only response Twilight received, unsure if she was heard or if the mare had to reflexively swallow at the time. Without hesitation, Twilight tried to teleport Rarity free from the prison, but it only resulted in Rarity squealing through her gag as her cock throbbed widely. Why didn’t that work? Twilight confided to herself. She instead opted to break the glass with a strong blast from her horn. However, it seemed as though the container absorbed it entirely, or rather perhaps Rarity did as she convulsed against her binds in response. Another orgasm rocketed out of the mare spewing even more cum into the tank. Twi watched in part awe and dark curiosity as the orgasm lasted for nearly half a minute, filling the container another couple of centimetres. Okay no magic, she tried slamming her hoofs against the glass repeatedly, but the sheets were to thick, I wish AJ was here, she could have made short work of this, Twilight sighed. Unsure of why the spells failed, Twilight decided the only way to deal with Discord’s bizarre magic was to calm her nerves and solve the problem rationally: I could try again, but it seemed like that caused… a reaction…. I need to be careful; I have no idea how long this will take me to solve, and I don’t want to find out what may happen if the tank gets above nose-level. Remember Twi, this is Discord, it’s always some sort of game with him. I need to study everything and figure out his trick. Twilight stepped back and decided to examine the room itself more. Clearly Rarity was meant to be the centerpiece, as the only light here emitted from the paneling surrounding the base of the tank and the ceiling above—directing the attention of anyone in the room towards the case (not that it didn’t already stand out enough without the peculiar lighting choice). The room itself was square, four pillars jutted out at an offset from each corner. The Ceiling rose much higher than the tank encapsulating Rarity. But not quite high enough for a pony to fly safely. Certainly not wide enough either for an extreme nose-dive approach to this. She paced about, excluding the entrance Twilight had come through, each wall featured, just front of it, a circular ring of stone, about the size of three good sized ponies. This garnered Twilight’s attention. Tuning out Rarity’s moans, Twilight looked over one of the circular gates. She immediately recognized the iconic etchings of a transportation spell inscribed on it. She lit her horn and touched it to the stone, spending time to decipher the meaning of the script. In deep thought, she slowly unraveled the surface details of the spell embedded into the stone, It would take a pony somewhere roughly 300—no, wait, it’s Centtiliun—but this room isn’t old enough for that? No, the subscripts don’t make sense any other way, it must be Centtiliun. Which would make it closer to 100? Yes, somewhere between 90-110 kilometres straight trajectory from the port face with at most a 30° deviation. From the sky, it would be a long, but very doable search path depending on how noticeable the exit point is. Twilight made a quick mental note of the location details before deciphering more, So how does a pony open this little portal? No runes for innate spellcasters to latch onto or any other means than what it might as well be screaming at me. It was clearly designed with security as a priority. only a pony with seven unique arcanist keys could use this. That’s honestly a little ridiculous when a pony could decrypt the exact location and travel there physically with a quarter of the time it would take to replicate that many keys. Unfortunately, I don’t have time for that either…. She stepped away from the gate, examined its counterparts on the other walls finding different locations but the same key signature. None of it yielded any clues to her current predicament. What in the world is this about Discord? Twilight thought to herself. Twilight turned her attention back to her convulsing friend to take a closer look. The glass had a geometric pattern of gold wire running through it. Reflecting on her previous attempt to affect the glass, she thought to herself, the trim isn’t just for decoration, is it? Is it magic absorbing glass, that is a creative use of Naussian Equations… she begrudgingly admitted. Looking past the glass to Rarity, her horn was wrapped at the base with a golden ring. Just above it, a piston-like mechanism was fixed to a fluffy ring that constantly pumped up and down the length of her horn. As it picked up speed a faint magic glow began to form at the tip of Rarity’s horn. Odd, she thought, horns can be an erogenous zone for some, but for it to cause her to--*MMM* a thick strand of pre oozed out of Rarity’s tip—cause that… is a strangely strong reaction. She started to study the length of her cock that wasn’t submerged at this point. She noticed that it had been decorated with piercings and her stomach was painted with various curving lines that brought the viewer’s attention towards the area. Rarity does kind of look good with a stallion’s piece, Twilight immediately shook off the perverse thought leaving a tinge of guilt, Rarity’s beautiful all the time, this is just deranged. Despite it incurring such an impish thought, Twilight still took her time to examine what this whole installment wanted the viewer to look at That great gleaming horsecock… She took in the jewelry studding the erection: a gold band encircled the base of cock, not unlike the one fixed to Rarity’s horn. a Jacob’s Ladder ran up the length of the bottom of Rarity’s piece. Four bars essentially measuring out her length along her defined urethra. The slightly flared tip of the penis was crowned with a semi-circle ring, it entered the bottom and came out the urethra ending in a diamond studding forming a nice Prince Albert. Or, at least, that’s how Twilight imagined it with most of it being hidden behind the slow stream of seed. The flow revealed something to her though as it slightly rippled, the piercings—they were vibrating… intensely. *MMPH* *MMPH* *MMMMM~* Twi’s gaze was fixed again as Rarity suddenly painted the glass barrier with her spunk, the thought of how only a few centimetres of the material separated her from being drenched in a literal cum shower turned her on slightly, but once more she snapped herself out of it. She had her suspicion now. Twilight tried to wrap the crowning Prince Albert piercing by itself with levitation, and her hunch was confirmed as she couldn’t move it, but instead it vibrated with more intensity than the other jewelry. *ah* *hmm* *hmpf* Twilight immediately dropped the field as to not stimulate her already clearly over-stimulated friend. I may not be able to teleport Rarity out between these and the glass siphoning the magic, but clearly my magic can get through though dampened. I can probably get one off at a time. I’ll just pray that will give me enough leverage to get Rarity out entirely. Twilight fixed her mind on the diamond tipped Prince Albert again and began to cast the spell. It faltered as the energy was immediately redirected into vibration and Rarity convulsed widely once more rendering another torrent of cum to erupt from her. The river of cum painting the glass whited out Twilight’s vision of the careful procedure. Twilight immediately doubled down while she still had focus on it and pushed enough magic into it to teleport it all the way from one side of Canterlot to the other--*MMMMMMMMMMPH* *MMMPH* *GLk* *cough* *Glck* *cough* Twilight couldn’t see but heard fully as Rarity’s orgasm was accentuated to all new highs and she coughed from the cum fed into her directly. Just as Twilight began to panic that her carelessness made her friend’s situation even worse for no results, she tasted a sweet saltiness on her tongue. She opened her mouth, the glass now acting as a surprisingly good mirror due to the waves of white that ran down the other side. A small pool of matching thick cream laid on her tongue. Twilight spat out what she could, using her magic to wipe the rest off—suddenly she felt her tongue tingle. She opened her mouth and looked into the cum-mirror once more. Sure enough—the diamond tipped piercing had lodged itself in her tongue—What in Equestria—I didn’t teleport it there! Twilight shouted in her mind, but it worked, I may be able to get Rarity out after all. She turned her attention back to the glass as the last of the seed dripped down, all the extra stimulation had caused Rarity to fill the tank a concerning amount. The poor mare was now up to her stomach bathing in her own cum. She was clearly spent at this point, flaring her nostrils reaching for exasperated breathes. Her cock was almost completely submerged at this point, just the head sticking out above level. Damn it, I should have been more careful, there’s no way I’m going to be able to get the rest of the piercings off of her without being able to even see them. “Rarity can you hear me?” No response came as her head lied limp, “Rarity please, if you can hear me, I hate to ask this, but I think it’s the only way I’m going to be able to get you out of there” Twilight hesitated as she thought about if this is seriously her best course of action, before continuing, “Rarity, I’m… I’m going to need you to drink, I need you to get the level down so I can get the other piercings off of you.” Rarity let out a little whimper before taking a few more breathes. Her cock twitched a few times causing the pool to move ever so slightly. Finally, she began to swallow, and swallow, and swallow. Twilight sat by her side waiting. Rarity continually alternated between taking cycles of deep breathes through her nose and drinking headily her own cum, punctuated by the occasional horn-job induced orgasm squeezing out a feminine wail and another liter of crème de rarity. Twilight was starting to get concerned this wouldn’t work at all. Even with the tip piercing gone Rarity was struggling to out-pace her own potency. This is bad, she has already… consumed… more than what I thought a pony to be able to. It’s also taking far too long, Celestia only knows what my other friends are going through while I’m just sitting here. I can’t abandon her like this, it’s too risky, it would be just like Discord to use this as a trick to get me to abandon my friend. We are sticking together this time. Twilight stood up and turned to Rarity again, she re-examined the glass, the near empty room, everything with intense detail and a stray thought came to her. She shook it off, took some more time to contemplate it, racking it thoroughly through her mind, running her best estimations through quick calculus, before reluctantly siding with the twisted, yet only available rationale. She had other ponies to save after all, and Rarity will be able to recover from this. “Oh Celestia please forgive me,” she said under her breathe before pressing her face against Rarity’s glass prison once again. “Rarity! I don’t think this going to work, you can stop… drinking, okay?” Rarity immediately obliged, glad to cease the past hour of gulping, “I’m sorry okay, I really am, I hope you can forgive me for this,” Twilight said before slowing her beating heart. I can’t believe I’m about to do this… She stared straight at the encapsulated Rarity, half-submerged in mare-spunk, the slow sloshing revealing a concerning viscosity. The poor exhausted mare whose once beautiful soft coat was now completely matted to her skin. Twilight averted her eyes and focused solely on the space, before flaring her horn once more and channeling all her magic onto her friend. Rarity immediately sang out as her whole cock visibly shook from the intense vibration ringing out from the magic-consuming piercings. There’s two ways this can go, and either one is going to end with me getting my friend to safety. I just hope it goes the first way… She increased the power of the spell, Rarity convulsed as wildly as the restraints would allow her. Come on, work damn it, Twilight thought as she continued to gradually increase the intensity of the spell. Then it happened, Rarity became a cum-fountain. From her tip, a flood of spunk that erupted against the glass, her face, some even striking the ceiling. She yelled to the heavens as the intense orgasm wracked her body. The cum being funneled into her mouth flowed down her throat out of involuntarily response, filling her stomach and lungs causing her to enter a coughing fit. Still not enough! Damn it! Twilight doubled down, her brow furrowed as she poured all her power and concentration into it. Blocking out all sound, the sputtering sound of cum pouring out of Rarity’s nose fell deafly on Twilight’s ears. Rarity’s piercing vibrated harder and harder, shaking her cock erratically. The flood of cum only increasing, at this point no longer visible except for the eddies it created as it spewed directly into the pool that had risen well above her cock and was quickly encroaching on her shoulders. Rarity couldn’t think at this point, couldn’t process, blinded physically, blinded mentally from the pure ecstasy, her body’s instinctual attempts to cycle air being more often than not washed out by the stream of absent, reflexive guzzling down of the onslaught of semen. The throws were blanking out her mind. She entered a constant state of convulsion—cock convulses warm white pleasure; body convulses—the nerves simultaneously shuttering and soothed by the warm bath; feathers convulses—the pleasure runs down the horn straight to; the mind convulses—the twin streams of pleasure converge to create the ultimate shiver from hoof, sex organ, heart, to mind. The ocean of cum only continued to rise with the unending series of Rarity’s orgasmic binds. Twilight continued her desperate attempt to teleport her friend out, too wrapped up in amplifying the spell to notice the bath crawl past Rarity’s neck. Rarity only continued her aggravated sputtering, breathing giving way entirely to guzzling as the flood crept over her cheeks and slowly over her nose. The lack of air and the total submersion sending her to even higher heights as her cock rocketed out orgasm after orgasm into the white ocean. Twilight stopped for a split second panting, and took a horrified look at her friend—well what was now more like a solid column of off-white with a pair of hooves peeking out, DAMN IT! STRAIGHT TO HELL! It’s not enough, okay Twilight, okay, time for plan B. And make it fast. She Resumed her magical assault on Rarity’s body, the pool quickly but given the situation was painstakingly slowly rose to the ceiling of the glass box. Still more, damn it! She poured all of her magic into it, the cage no longer giving any clues as to the mare-inside’s response. Then Twilight saw her glimmer of hope, a thin white line creeped down one of the corners of the box. It’s been too long, but it’s going to work, it has to work, but… but the pressure still isn’t enough… I can’t expect her to hold out any longer, maybe I can’t get a pony out, but I can still—Twilight disappeared in a flash. The room became suddenly mundane, to any onlooker just a strange glassy, white box with golden embellishment stood a center, artistically complimenting the four corner columns. Lights beamed onto an art piece that could have found itself in a corporate building if it weren’t for the contents it held. Twilight felt it immediately, suddenly the mostly-dry mare was now absolutely drenched from head to hoof. She quaked as she suddenly felt a very large member stretch her pussy wide. She gasped and reflexively inhaled a deluge of the oddly sweet spunk. She could barely think, barely processing that she teleported directly onto Rarity’s mast by accident. Her nostrils filled with thick milk. She flailed about, desperately feeling for her surroundings. The liquid felt odd to try to move in, not only did she feel a pressure on all sides of her but also a resistance to every wild swing of her legs as though she was swimming in fresh concrete. She felt something firm with her hooves and she maneuvered as quickly as the cream allowed her. She pushed and pushed on the bar holding Rarity in place, until an unexpectedly audible pop freed her off her friend’s erection. She flailed about more desperately trying to find her goal. Filling her hoof hit glass, she reorientated, braced her hindlegs on one wall and her forelegs on the other. She pushed desperately with every last fiber of her being. A small groan—not of a mare, but the noise that an inanimate makes when it finally wishes to give up preceded the sound of two solid thuds. Twilight’s body moved shockingly fast as she felt gravity give out on her, and she rode a milky tidal wave two meters across the floor. She coughed and sputtered, immediately using her magic to wipe the cum off her eyes. Quickly, she stood up and galloped back to her friend still held in that same pose, still dribbling a consistent stream of white from the tip that had been inside her only a moment prior. Twilight fell flat on her face due to the now very slippery ground, getting another fresh taste of Rarity’s milk. Reorienting, she instead flapped her wings, droplets of cream flying off, and glided over to her friend. As quick as she could, she used her magic, no longer hindered by the absorbing glass to undo the gag and untie her friend. “Rarity, Rarity, Are you Alright?” Rarity lied limp. Twilight immediately levitated what cum she could out of her friend’s lungs and cleared her throat. She pressed her mouth to Rarity’s performing the basics she remembered from her short first-aid class and prayed profusely for her friend. The most agonizing 30 seconds of her life went by as Twilight breathed for her, trying to revitalize her. Her only thought being, what was I thinking!? How could I have tried anything this insane? Finally, as tears rolled down her eyes, Rarity coughed once, then twice, “That’s it, you’re going to be okay! Please! Please! Please!” Twilight said while helping her cough out the last bit that had entered her lungs. Twilight took the blindfold off her, and Rarity looked weakly into her eyes. She gave a faint smile, before trying to say something. Twilight couldn’t tell what she said as her friend only managed to cough some more. Rarity instead raised her hoof and lightly patted Twilight twice, before drifting off to sleep. At first Twilight panicked but was reassured as she felt Rarity taking deep breathes and her pulse normalized. “I’m so sorry Rarity, I’m an idiot. I was so concerned… concerned about…” she stopped, and just looked down at her drenched friend. it all seemed ridiculous in this light. she risked her friend to save her other friends from imagined predicaments. “I’m going to stay right here, Rarity. You rest up, okay? I’ll wait right here for you. We can take this time, alright? I’m going to keep you safe, I’m going to keep you safe…” Twilight muttered through tear filled eyes. Perhaps the words were more for herself though, as Rarity only continued to sleep deeply while Twilight cradled her head in her lap.
