Doomsday
"Oh, Silvy, I love you so much!" Terramar panted, admiring his sister's beautiful plumage as he humped as deeply as he could.
"Hmm, I can tell!"
"I'm gonna cum! I'm gonna cum deep inside you and get you pregnant!" he moaned as he looked into her eyes.
"Do it! Do it Terry!"
It was all he needed to hear to send him over the top. The stallion-half of the hippogryph thrusted deep inside and the tip of his shaft flared as he came, delivering thick ropes of cum. After a couple minutes, he took a few steps back and pulled out, looking at the mess he had made. The high of his lust passed over him and he was awash with shame. "We can't keep doing this."
"Hey, come on, you don't need to feel ashamed," Ocellus said as she transformed back from Silverstream. "You fertilized another clutch of my eggs. There will be generations of changelings thanks to your love."
"I shouldn't feel this way about her, though," he said.
"Nopony gets to choose who they love," she said as she rubbed her gravid belly.
He looked over at her. "You need to lay those inside another hippogryph?"
She nodded. "It has to be the same species they were fertilized by for them to develop."
"You're going to lay those inside Silvy again?"
Ocellus pursed her lips. "You know that my clients are confidential."
"You're going back to the school, and she's the only one there."
Ocellus didn't argue to the contrary.
"Please don't tell her that I asked you to look like her," he begged.
"Of course not," she promised. "I mean, I wouldn't. If she was my client. Which I'm not saying she is. Or isn't."
"...Thank you."
Ocellus got up from his bed and started to leave before she turned around and put her hoof to his cheek. "You need to stop feeling bad about this." She put her hoof to the eggs in her belly again. "It sours the love."
"Right. Sorry."
She smiled weakly. "You're allowed to love her." He opened his mouth to argue, but she cut off his retort, "Yes. Like that."
"Terry! Terry! Oh fuck I love you so much!" Silverstream cried out as she felt his dick sliding in and out of her.
"Stream, this is a dorm room! You really need to be quieter, or we're gonna get caught!"
Silverstream put her palms over her mouth and buried her face into her pillow to muffle her moans.
"I'm about to finish. Are you ready?"
Silverstream nodded. The stallion penis inside her morphed into a changeling ovipositor. The narrow tip pushed into the small opening of Silverstream's cervix and wedged itself inside. Ocellus's secretions did well to relax and numb Silverstream's cervical muscles, but she still winced in discomfort. Once the tip was fully inside, it blossomed open like a flower to securely anchor itself in place.
"You okay?" Ocellus asked in Terramar's voice. Silverstream nodded again. This wasn't her first time volunteering to incubate her friend's eggs, so she knew what to expect. Even so, it didn't make the process any easier. Ocellus grunted and the powerful muscles of her ovipositor began pumping her eggs up through it. Silverstream's cervix was a tight ring around the ovipositor tip, but it was designed to deal with that. The first egg was pushed though, stretching her cervix just a bit more as it was forced through, safely depositing it inside her fertile womb. Silverstream's eyes watered and she bit the pillow as she just held on, bracing herself for the next one, and the one after as the pressure inside her filled uterus began to build.
On the other end, Ocellus was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief as she squeezed the last couple eggs out of her, through her ovipositor, and into her host.
Her friend, Ocellus reminded herself. Her friend who was allowing her to do this to her as a favor to help the hive rebuild. The new king, Thorax, was adamant that diplomacy was the way forward. And that meant informed consent. It wasn't nearly as easy as it had been under Chrysalis's reign; simply taking breeders and subduing hosts. But the extra effort was worth it. Though there were fewer clutches, the eggs were larger in quantity, and of better quality from love freely given rather than taken.
The tip of the ovipositor closed, and Ocellus gently pulled it out, letting Silverstream's cervix snap closed, sealing the clutch of changeling eggs inside her uterus where they could finish developing. Silverstream rolled over onto her back, watching Ocellus, still disguised as Terramar, move off the bed as her ovipositor retreated back inside his sheath carapace. The rest of her form shimmered and returned back to her normal changeling appearance and she moved to Silverstream's side, placing her hoof on her gravid belly.
"Are you okay?" she checked again.
Silverstream nodded. "It feels like there's more every time."
Ocellus smiled. "Your... er, my donor had a lot of love to give."
"Another hippogryph at Mt. Eris?" Silverstream asked. Ocellus didn't answer, but Silverstream didn't need her to. "Did you see Terry while you were there?" she asked as she idly rubbed her belly.
"We um, we may have crossed paths at one point."
Silverstream's expression went from idle calm to worried. "You haven't told him about this, have you? About us like this, with you as him?"
"Of course not," Ocellus reassured her. "Client information is confidential."
"Right. Of course." Silverstream said. "Thank you." She laid back in her bed and stared off at the ceiling. "I wonder who the other lucky hippogryph is though," she mused. "You should see if you can get Terry to do it! Just thinking of carrying your eggs that were fertilized with his sperm..." She purred and she felt a wave of warmth wash over her body before it settled into her lower belly.
Ocellus smiled. "Just keep thinking those loving thoughts."
Silverstream smiled back. "Happy to help." More accurately, she was happy to live out her secret fantasy with Ocellus. And the long weekend of bedrest off school for diplomatic relations was a nice bonus.
Ocellus was happy to help her friends live out their secret fantasies. But her duty was to the hive.
~
A few days later, Ocellus opened the door to Silverstream's dorm room. "Today's the big day," Ocellus said. "How are you feeling? Are you about ready?"
"Mhmm!" Silverstream nodded, from the bed, panting and sweating.
"Yeah, you look ready." Ocellus quickly unzipped her bag and opened her padded case. "The contractions already started?" Silverstream nodded again. "Okay, let's take a look."
Silverstream shift over off the edge of the bed and Ocellus's magic spread her vagina open. The glowing light illuminated the smooth green surface of the egg lodged just inside her dilated cervix.
"Okay, wow. Looks like I'm just in time!" Ocellus laid down some towels on the floor at the edge of the bed.
Silverstream squatted over the nest of cloth towels to let gravity help. Nature did the rest, and her body knew what to do. Her uterus squeezed, and the rest of her abdominal muscles now joined in. The first egg popped through her cervix and slid out of her birth canal and into Ocellus's waiting hooves to place into the padded case.
"That's one," she coached. Each egg was smaller than a typical hippogryph egg. The difference being that there was a lot of them.
Silverstream took a deep breath and pushed the next egg out. "They feel bigger this time," she wheezed.
Ocellus nodded. "You've been thinking about him?"
Silverstream didn't need to answer to understand what she meant. The eggs had been getting a lot of her latent love, growing them larger, and even ready early.
Ocellus filled the case with the twelfth egg and closed it for safe transportation back to the hive.
"Cellus, wait," Silverstream panted. She squeezed one final egg into the padded nest of towels, finally feeling empty. "Thirteen? Really!?"
Ocellus blushed. "Like I said, he had a lot of love to give." She picked up the egg and looked at her case and the bag. "Hmm, now how to get this home safely..." After a moment she shrugged and reached behind her to insert the egg into her own vagina.
Silverstream tilted her head. "I mean, if that's how you got it here..."
"It's not exactly the same," Ocellus said with a grunt as she pushed it inside. "But it'll do." Once it was secured deep enough inside she shuffled her legs. It would only be mildly uncomfortable for the trip back to the hive. "Thanks again," she said as she left.
The next day, Silverstream's classmate, Smolder, packed her travel bag.
"So is it like the migration thing?" Silverstream asked the orange dragon.
"No, it's more like a... competition," Smolder said.
"Ooh! Like the flaming obstacle course to get the wand thingy?"
"Okay, first of all, it's the Bloodstone Scepter. And secondly, no, it's not the Gauntlet of Fire. That only happen once in a generation to choose a new leader. This is a competition for the dragon lord, herself."
"So you win what? Her?"
Smolder almost blushed. "More like you win a long weekend with her."
"Oh. Ah."
"Yeah."
"Wait, so why are you going?" Silverstream asked. "You're a female." She gave the dragon a sideways look. "I mean, I assume. I never actually checked what was in your weird lizzer hole."
"Hardy har," Smolder deadpanned. "It doesn't matter what's in a dragon's cloaca. You don't say no to an opportunity like this."
"Wait, so does that mean Spike is going?"
Smolder snorted. "Spike is a pony that just looks like a dragon. He wouldn't even know what to do with Ember. Besides, he has a thing going with Gabby now."
"I know."
"I know you know. Everyone knows. It's the worst-kept secret in Equestria."
"Alright, well, good luck," Silverstream said.
"It's a competition of skill. Luck isn't a factor," Smolder said as she left.
Smolder arrived with the other dragons, gathering in the heart of Draconia. They looked up at Dragon Lord Ember, standing atop the mesa, addressing her subjects. "Attention all! This year the competition to be my mate will be a raffle, based entirely on blind luck."
"...Fuck." Smolder grimaced.
Ember continued. "I have two urns, with two matching sets of unique gems. Each of you will take a gem from this one. And I will select one from the other." The dragons formed a line to take a gem from the urn. Ember motioned to the cave high on the mountainside. "Whoever has the matching gem will get to join me for a week in the Cave of Wonders."
"I'm more interested in her cave of wonders, you know what I'm saying?" the charcoal dragon in line behind Smolder said as he elbowed her, nodding at her with a dumb grin.
Smolder slowly turned around to look at him. "Kill yourself."
His grin vanished and he snarled. "Kill me yourself, cunt!" Smolder's lips peeled back from her fangs.
"Quit holding up the line, shitheads!" another dragon shouted.
They both quickly grabbed a gem and moved aside back into the crowd. She caught his eyes and mouthed, "Later."
Once every drake had a gem, Ember reached into the other jar. "And the dragon that will be accompanying me this year will be whoever brings me..." She held up the stone to the light. "The Star Sapphire."
Smolder looked at the blue stone in her palm. She shifted it in the sunlight and the starburst pattern of the sapphire sparkled. She opened her mouth to call out in excitement but a charcoal claw snatched it out of her hand.
"Hey!" Smolder shouted.
"I have it!" He yelled.
"The fuck you do!" A red fist slammed him in the jaw almost unscrewing his gray head off his neck, laying him out cold on the basalt ground. Smolder's brother, Garble, picked up the Star Sapphire.
"Thanks bro," Smolder said, holding out her hand. Garble gave her an incredulous look and snorted as he flew up to Ember to present the stone to her.
"Hey, I had the stone!" Smolder yelled.
Ember looked at her. "I meant what I said. Whoever brings me the matching stone."
"HA!" Garble cheered and flipped off the rest of the dragons jeering at him. "Yeah, yeah, eat my ass, fuckers!" Ember rolled her eyes and grabbed his wrist to escort him up to the cave.
Smolder looked around at the rest of the dragons eating their consolation gems like swallowing a bitter pill of defeat. She picked up her bag to leave. She didn't feel like sticking around for the 'losers bracket' orgy.
She flew out to the western edge of Draconia and looked across the Celestial Sea. She really didn't feel like making that flight twice in one day. She took her map from her bag.
"I could always head north and pick up the train out of Gryphonstone," she mused. "But they always overcharge for tickets..." She sat and thought on it for a while. A wisp of green smoke zipped towards her at high speed and stopped in front of her to materialize into a scroll. She recognized the seal. "Why is Headmare Starlight sending me a message with dragon fire?"
She opened the scroll and read it.
"Oh, shit."
"Ohshitohshitohshit!" Silverstream's stream of swears was almost as fast as the beat of her wings, which was almost as fast as the beat of her heart as she flew home. She didn't even pack a bag. She took naught with her but her necklace and the scroll clutched in her hand.
It was the same message that Smolder had received. The alarming news that a giant asteroid was headed towards Equestria in a day's time, and there was no escape and no hope for survival. It was the literal end of the world.
She never entertained the idea of racing Rainbow Dash, but today she could probably give even the fastest mare in Equestria a run for her money. As Mount Aris came into view, she didn't need a watch to know that she had smashed her previous time record for the trip. But if she only had one day left to live, there was something else she wanted to smash. Or rather, someone.
Ariving back in her home town, she saw her father, Sky Beak, comforting Terramar. She looked at them and saw the same frightened expression she wore.
"Silvy!" Terramar cried and ran over to embrace her. "I didn't think that we were ever going to see you again!" He saw the scroll she was holding. "We just got the news in Seaquestria from Queen Novo. I came ashore to tell Dad and we were just about to head back to see Mom."
Silverstream nodded. "Right. Yeah." The other two turned to head back down to the water. "Terry, wait."
"What is it?"
Silverstream looked back and forth between them. "Before we go back, there was something else I wanted to do up on Mount Aris. And... and I wanted you to come with me."
"I don't want to be apart from Ocean Flow for even one moment longer," Sky Beak said as turned to leave. "Don't be long. You'll worry your poor mother!"
Silverstream took Terramar by the wrist and pulled him along. "Where are we going?" he asked.
"Up to the summit, away from everyone else," she said.
"Why?"
"I'll explain when we get there, I promise."
"Garble!" Smolder shouted into the dragon lord's consort cave.
"He's busy!" Ember shouted back from somewhere inside the cave.
"I need to talk to him!" Smolder pleaded.
"I command you to stay out there!" Ember's words struck Smolder with the power of the Bloodstone Scepter. An invisible force kept her from entering.
"It's an emergency!" Smolder shouted. "I just got a message from Equestria that a giant rock is going to fall out of the sky tomorrow and destroy the entire world!"
"This had better not be some kind of trick."
"I swear on my scales! I have the scroll right here from the Princesses!"
"... You may approach."
Smolder walked inside the narrow, twisted entrance leading into the cave. Rounding the bend she saw Lord Ember sitting and waiting. Garble was laying on the floor behind her. Smolder realized that Ember was straddling his face, she could just see the top of his head under her thighs.
"Garble!?"
"He can't hear you," Ember said, motioning to her thighs over his ears. She patted the top of his head. The red dragon just gave a thumbs up, letting her know that he hadn't drowned yet. "Give me the scroll." Smolder approached and presented the message. She started reading and looked agitated. She loosened her grip on his head to shout at him. "I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO STOP!" Then she swiftly clamped her legs back together around his head. She went back to reading. "It's as the prophesy has foretold. The Ragna Rock. The End Times. Just as our prehistoric fore-lizards before us." Ember nodded at Smolder and waved her away. "Go."
"Go!? Go and do what!?" Smolder demanded.
"You are a dragon. You are free to do as you wish. Go and meet your fate in whatever manner pleases you. I will stay here and continue to do exactly that."
"Can I at least talk to my brother first?"
Ember snorted and rose to stand, pulling his face up with her.
"EeaaggHH!" Gargle yelped as he was lifted by his tongue. Ember relaxed her muscles and several inches of his tongue slid out of her, letting him fall back to the floor.
"You have a guest," Ember said in mild irritation.
Garble turned and looked at Smolder. "The fuck you want!? We're busy!"
Smolder pointed out of the cave. "I need to talk to you for a minute!"
"Make it quick," Ember said sternly.
"I need to talk to you for a minute," Silverstream said nervously, standing next to Terramar on the peak of Mount Aris. "There's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I was always too scared of what would happen if I did. But the world's going to end tomorrow anyway..."
Terramar shuffled his hooves. "Actually, there's something I wanted to tell you, too. But I was always worried that if I told you, you wouldn't want to ever talk to me again. So you better tell me your thing first."
Silverstream looked even more worried. "Well, that's kinda what I was afraid of, myself. So why don't go first, before you spend our last day hating me."
Terramar laughed nervously. His heart was racing. "I'm pretty sure it would be the other way around."
"How about we both say the terrible things we need to say at the same time?" Silverstream suggested.
"What, really? Like, on three?" he asked. She nodded. "Um, uh, ugh, okay..."
"One..."
"Two..."
Suddenly, a beam of light appeared around them and they started to drift up into the air. Looking up, they could see a huge, mysterious craft hovering above them. It pulled them inside and the hatch closed behind them, dropping them into a loading bay of some kind with a massive view window. The world below them seemed to fall away as they accelerated up into the sky and moved across the sea at incredible speed, yet they felt no movement.
"Silvy, what's happening!?"
A door leading to the loading bay opened, and a couple of tall, bipedal creatures holding batons of some kind approached them. They each wore matching one-piece jump suits and made a series of noises that seemed to be some form of speech, though neither hippogryph could understand them. The tone of the creatures seemed calm, but imperative. They pointed the batons at them in an aggressive way that could only be interpreted as threatening, waving them towards the door.
They stood frozen in fear. One of the creatures prodded her with a baton, giving her a light shock.
"Ow!" Silverstream elbowed Terramar nervously to get moving as well. "Um, that way I guess," she said. The two of them were ushered through the narrow hallway to where a couple more of the bipeds were waiting with more batons, pointing into another doorway. The frightened hippogryphs did as they were told without resistance.
They stepped inside and the door sealed shut behind them. The seams vanished flush with the wall around it. The room was large and brightly lit. There were simple facilities, a toilet, sink and showerhead. There was a bed, and even a clear-sided tub of water large enough that bordered on being a small pool. Three of the walls were bare, with the fourth being a large, floor-to-ceiling window.
"What is this place?" Terramar asked.
"I have no idea," Silverstream replied. She walked over to the window. On the other side was a long hallway, and across the hallway was another large room, similar to theirs. Except it was still empty.
"I'm scared," Terramar admitted.
"Me too," she said as she hugged him.
"So what's so damn important that you had to pull me away from that!" Garble growled at his sister.
"First of all can you put that away!?" Smolder said, pointing vaguely at his crotch without looking.
Garble looked down at his erection and then snarled at her. "No! Fuck you! I didn't just spend the last hour tickling her cervix with my tongue to not use this! So tell me what's so fucking important, so I can get back to important fucking!"
Smolder walked out of the dragon breeding cave with her brother. She turned around to look at him, trying her best to ignore his erection. "The world is going to end tomorrow."
Garble snorted. "Yeah right!"
"I'm serious! I got a message from Equestria. They discovered an asteroid that's about to hit, and it's going to destroy everything and everyone!"
"Yeah? Well, I think you're full of shit. You're just jealous that I get to plow Ember when you're the one that wanted to knock tacos with her so hard. And even if the world really was going to end tomorrow, I'd still be doing exactly what I'm going to be doing! Her!"
"You'd rather spend your last day getting your dick wet than spend it with your own sister!?"
"Yes! I think I've made that abundantly clear! Now if you don't mind..." He turned around.
Suddenly, a beam of light appeared around them and they started to drift up into the air. Looking up, they could see a huge, mysterious craft hovering above them. It pulled them inside, dropping them into a loading bay and the hatch closed behind them.
"What the fuck is this now!" Garble screamed. Looking through the massive view window, the world below them seemed to fall away as they accelerated up into the sky, yet they felt no movement. Garble watched the breeding mountain, along with Ember, zip away from his view. "NoooOOOHHH!"
The door opened and two bipedal creatures walked in wearing a full-body suit of flexible metal, like tin foil. Their faces were obscured by welding masks. They each carried red cylinders with a hose and nozzle.
"Cock-blockers!" Garble yelled and breathed fired at them. The flames washed over them briefly before his breath gave out.
"What's wrong with you!?" Smolder asked before she took a deep breath and blew... a puff of smoke. Smolder looked through the window at the world far below them. She remembered something about the magic of Equestria, and what happened when Princess Twilight was away from it through the mirror, and she lost her magic. "Oh fuck."
The two suited creatures walked towards the dragons. But even without fire, they still had claws and fangs. The siblings lunged forward... into a cloud of freezing cold spray from the nozzles. The dragons recoiled, but the nozzles continued to douse them as they shivered on the floor. It was so cold that it hurt. Their shivering muscles quickly exhausted themselves and they went limp, barely conscious as their heartrates slowed to a crawl. Two more suited teams with stretchers came in to carry the dragons to their room.
Silverstream sat next to her brother on the room's only bed. It was big enough for two to sleep in, if only just barely. "Looks like we're sharing again," she said. He gave her a confused look. "Like when we were little," she explained. "Before the Storm King, when we all lived up on the mountain. You had gotten to be too big for your crib, but you didn't have your own bed yet. So for a while we shared a bed."
He shook his head. "I'm sorry. I don't remember that."
"Well, you were little," she said. "But I remember those times. But then once you got a little older, Mom wanted to make sure you had your own bed before you started waking up with..." she trailed off. "You know. Colt problems."
"Oh." Terramar blushed.
Silverstream frowned in realization. "Mom... Ugh, I'm so stupid! I should have just gone to see Mom right away! And now I never will! Instead I dragged you up the mountain and got us caught up in..." she looked around the room, "This."
"What was it that you wanted to tell me?" he asked.
She shook her head. "I get the feeling we're going to be stuck together here for a long time. I don't want you spending it hating me. Just let me hate myself for dragging you along with me."
"I could never hate you, Silv. And this... whatever this place is, it isn't your fault. So please don't hate yourself, okay?"
She nodded. "I'll try."
Silverstream had wanted them to get away from everyone else to tell him how she felt, because she was afraid of how he would react if he rejected her. She didn't want all the others to hear what a degenerate she was, being attracted to her own brother. Ocellus never judged her. But she was a changeling. Incest was a foreign concept to a hive that all shared one mother. That and Ocellus was her friend and she trusted her.
But Silverstream had been more worried about how he would have reacted if he didn't reject her. If he accepted her feelings for him and wanted to return them, right there on the mountaintop. Even now she pondered if the risk was worth the reward, alone together here in this place.
"Are you sure you could never hate me?" she asked.
He nodded. "Yeah. Pretty sure."
Silverstream took a deep breath and steeled her resolve. "Okay... I..." They both looked at the sudden movement in the room across the hall on the other side of the window. Fully suited creatures carried in a couple creatures on stretchers. One looked like a red dragon, and the other looked like... "Smolder!?" Silverstream jumped from her seat and ran over to the window, pounding on it with her fists, but barely making a dull thud against the sturdy barrier. "Smolder!"
The bipeds paused briefly to glance at the animated hippogryph in the opposite enclosure before they dumped the two cold dragons into a large, hot, stone basin, and walked out. The thermal coils integrated into the basin made it hot enough to be a smelting crucible. It did the job to warm the dragon's bodies back up and they slowly crawled out, shaking off the fatigue.
Quite naturally, the first thing they tried to do was destroy the place. They bit, scratched, punched, and kicked anything and everything, trying to rip up the fixtures, but found that everything was specifically designed with their species in mind. Smolder didn't even leave a scratch as she clawed at the window. But as her eyes regained focus, she was able to look across the hallway at... "Silverstream!?"
Silverstream watched the dragons roar and scream as they tried to destroy everything in their room, but it all happened in eerie silence. She screamed as loud as she could.
"Smolder!"
