Rain seeks immortality in order to reunite with her stallion Spirit
An opened cage is still a prison if you choose to stay inside. Our world itself is a cage with a way out to Equestria. Spirit can not be truly free without exploring the new world, and Rain would not be the loyal mare she is if she wouldn’t follow. Yet she could not have anticipated what awaited on the other side.
Finally, we were together. Though what really mattered to my stallion Spirit, we were free.
I had introduced him to the world of servitude, but he rejected my world. Then he opened my eyes to the world in the wild. The plains, the forests, the deserts; he showed me everything. What mattered most to me, however, was that I was with him.
My fondest memories were when we had literally been tied together with a piece of rope. I didn’t fear losing him then. But Spirit could not be bound not by me and not by anyone else; it’s why I loved him so.
I found happiness at his side and with his herd. Yet, Spirit was restless as if he was still not fully free. He explored every cranny, investigated every sound, climbed every rock formation. And when he wished for my company, I was always by his side to please his every need. Yet, it wasn’t enough. Again and again, I’ve caught him groaning and glancing in a particular direction at a particular mountain. Something was still tying him down.
Doubts filled my mind. I wondered if another mare occupied his mind. Was it just a matter of time before I became a third wheel? Was I simply not good enough for him?
My world shattered when he nickered goodbye to me and his herd. I crumpled on the ground. With every step he took toward the ominous mountain, my heart sank deeper. Doubts overcame me. Was it all my fault?
I couldn’t take it anymore. The moment he walked off, my world no longer existed. I was nothing without serving a purpose, and he was my purpose. I would do anything for him.
A thought glinted in my mind. What if he was trying to protect me and the herd like so many times before?
I stood up in determination and focused on his plot. I didn’t need protection. Not even death scared me. His absence was my only concern.
The herd looked at me in confusion when I set after Spirit. They knew as well as I that there was no stopping him. He could never be bound. But that wasn’t my actual intention. No matter what lay in the mountains, I would face it together with him, even if that meant becoming a third wheel.
When I caught up to him, he grunted and groaned at me. He turned around and tried to push me back but to no avail. Even after receiving a kick, I would not turn back. My focus remained on the mountain. That was my destination because it was his goal.
Just like I knew better than to go against Spirit’s freedom, he knew better than to go against my stubbornness. He may have gotten rid of the line that connected us, but I have not. His pathway was my purpose. His aim was my target.
With a snort, he continued his journey and I followed along.
I hoped that his goal would make him happy, but that wasn’t what I observed. His body language told me everything I needed to know. What awaited on the mountain wasn’t another mare; it was danger!
His whole body shook when he reached the cave. He dug at the ground with a forehoof as if something prevented him from moving on. Again, he whinnied at me despite knowing full well that nothing could dissuade me from serving him, even if it was for the last time.
I thought I saw a glimmer of tears in his eyes just before we walked into the darkness.
Yet, the further we traversed, the brighter the cave became. The walls shimmered in pink, unnatural shades.
What we saw before us at the end of the cave was out of this world. It was like an entrance, but it had a surface of a polluted pond.
Spirit wasn’t surprised. He must have seen it before. Yet his body was frozen in place with fear as if he faced his worst enemy yet.
I kicked a stone at the mystical doorway because it was hurting my mate. The surface waved and swallowed the stone. It must have been an entrance to another room. Or maybe another world!
At that moment, I understood his life like never before. His adventurous nature, his pursuit of freedom, none of that was born out of nothingness. It was preparation for this very day. Spirit may have not been able to face it when he was younger, but after all the adventures, he must have finally felt that he could interact with this thing again. After all, one cannot be truly free when one is stuck in a cage, even if the bars are opened; A horse is only free when the horse chooses to leave the cage behind. That’s what Spirit had been preparing for all his life, to leave it all behind.
Deep inside, I felt that he didn’t come all this way to merely observe the challenge. As always, he had to express his freedom. As long as there was a cranny left to explore, he wasn’t truly free. And because the portal existed, he was a prisoner of our world. Only by entering the space on the other side could he consider himself free. He desired freedom more than anything in the world, but because of the existence of the doorway, he never was, not even on the open plains.
He brushed his head against my neck and I leaned my head on his. He still loved me!
A moment later, he strifed aside and jumped into the vertical pond.
I caught my balance and gasped. The emptiness was all around me. I was alone. Alone in the cave. Alone in the world.
Though I did not have a life-long preparation to seek freedom in another world even at my own expense, I had something just as powerful. All my life I nurtured my will to serve and that I was willing to do even at my own expense.
I cycled my forehooves in the air then plunged myself into the portal.
My body twisted in the stream of colors and I feared that it would end me right there and then. But the ordeal didn’t last long. A few moments later I was expunged back into a cave.
I stood on all four and looked around. It seemed to be a different cave. The air was lighter and colder. The chamber itself was bigger, with various mystical items scattered around.
It truly was an entrance to another place. I looked back at it and was surprised. What I saw was a reflection of myself. I tapped on it and it was solid. There was no way back.
A hissing sound came from beyond the turn. My heart skipped a beat, “Spirit?” I peaked my ears.
“Oh, I’m far worse than a mear spirit.” A slim silhouette walked toward me. “I’m Queen Chrysalis!”
Even though it looked like a horny monster with her crooked horn, she wasn’t what drew my attention. I caressed my snout with a hoof. “I spoke?” I looked at the stranger and announced at the top of my voice, “I spoke words!”
She snickered, “You’re not from around here, are you? Who are you?”
“I’m Rain.” I pointed at a mirror behind me. “I came from there.”
“Extraordinary! It seems that it really does work. King Sombra told me that he designed a portal through space and time. He wanted to go back in time to fix his mistakes; to get a second chance.”
None of what she said mattered. Only one thing was important. “Where is my stallion Spirit?”
“Did he enter the portal before you?”
I nodded, but inside I pondered why she would even ask such a question. How could she not have seen him? There was only one entrance in the chamber and he must have been in the cave just moments ago.
“Oh, you poor mare you. You don’t understand anything, do you?”
“I understand love!” I objected.
The holey, slim, black horse smiled. “I know you do.”
I looked at her sideways. “Do you now?”
Queen Chrysalis licked my ear with her split tongue. “I can taste it on you.”
“You’re radiating Love,” Queen Chrysalis said. “It usually takes a dozen ponies to sate my cravings for love, but I got my fill without the need to suck you dry.”
“You wanted to suck me dry?” I whinnied. “What are you, a mare-lover?”
“You’re wrong, but I do like your dirty mind. And now that I think about it, I do have another craving that you could fulfill for me.” She lifted my snout with a hoof and looked into my eyes, “You really want to find this stallion of yours, don’t you?”
“I do. Tell me where he is!”
“I can tell you right now that you could search all the worlds and you still wouldn’t find him. I am the only person alive who knows when Spirit is.”
“Tell me!” I shoved her forward and she rolled on her back. Yet her grin remained plastered on her face.
“I could tell you when your stallion Spirit is, but why should I tire my tongue if you don’t bother to use yours?” She spread her legs and showed me her pussy.
I surrounded her with my legs and yelled, “Tell me, dyke, or I’ll hurt you!”
“Oh, naive mare, you. You’re in no position to make demands.” Her horn glowed and a green aura enveloped me.
I was lifted from the ground. “What kind of magic is this?”
“Just a regular kind. But powerful now that I’m fed.” She cocked her head and I flew at the stony wall of the cave.
After the impact, I crumpled on the ground. My side hurt from the bruising. But I wasn’t given an opportunity to collect myself. The magical shield picked me up in the air again.
“I can do this all day and even after you die of injuries. The question is, do you want to be thrown at the wall repeatedly until you die?”
I gasped. There was nothing I could do to defend myself. I was at her mercy; only her rules applied. I bowed my head and simply said, “No.”
“Then why don’t you come and convince me that you have a better use?”
The bubble floated me closer to her until I landed on my hooves. My head was enveloped in a magical bubble and became very heavy. Despite straining my neck it only drifted lower, toward Chrysalis's pussy. “But I like stallions. I love Spirit!”
“Prove it! I can tell you where and when he is, but you’ll first have to make it worthwhile for me. Do it for Spirit!”
I didn’t feel like I had any choice in the matter, and I would do anything for Spirit. I held down all my disgust while I gave the pussy before me a lick with the tip of my tongue. “There. I did it. Now tell me —”
The magic shoved my snout into her pussy. She snickered, “Our fun has only just begun, Rain. It won’t end until my juices rain all over your pretty face!”
With that, she spun around, pressing the back of my head against the ground. I wanted to object, but she lowered herself onto me and her pussy filled my mouth. “Ngh!”
“You don’t have to speak your words. You only have to use your tongue.”
Her hoof pressed on my neck, prompting a gag reflex, making me extend my tongue.
“Work it, Rain. Make my pussy wet.”
I closed my eyes, forcing out the tears that were forming. My mind didn’t want to move my tongue. I had to bury it deep inside to break my own resistance. I focused on my tongue and pretended as if none of my other screaming thoughts existed.
“There you go! I’ll make a marefriend out of you yet!” I felt her whole body weight on my snout. “Now lick faster!”
I tensed all my muscles and spun my tongue in the smelly crevasse.
“Deeper!”
I obeyed.
“Ooh!” Her body shook. “You have the thickest tongue I’ve ever felt. The ponies of this world have nothing on you. You’re the true whorse!”
My tongue hurt from being overused for the first time in my life. I never cared much for the mares’ affairs before. I was more of a stallion lover ever since I could remember.
“Keep it up!” A few slaps of her hoof on my head followed.
I worked through the pain of my stiff tongue and gave her what she wanted.
“When it rains, it pours!” Her body tensed and pussy juices slipped down my throat.
I choked on the musky liquids.
As I tried to cough them out, she slipped down my body and forced my snout shut with a forehoof. “Let it, Rain!”
Since I couldn’t cough out her juices, I shut my eyes and swallowed.
“That’s a good girl!” She lay her head on my chest and sighed in contentment.
I just stared at the ceiling not being able to process any of the things that happened to me.
“You can ask me your questions now.” She sighed and nuzzled on my coat while hugging me.
It was like a waking call. I remembered my purpose. “Where is Spirit?”
“When,” she said simply.
“What do you mean when?”
“King Sombra designed the portal to travel back in time, and that’s exactly what it's doing. The portal is traveling through this space into the past. At least in this world. A decade here is probably a mere moment in your world. In reverse, of course.”
“Before Spirit entered, I kicked a rock in the portal. Yet, I can’t see the rock anywhere.”
“Stick around here for half a millennium or so and it might hit you in the head.”
“I don’t understand,” I said in confusion.
“Your stallion is in the future. He hasn’t come out of the portal yet because the portal is traveling back in time. In the same way, you came from the mirror, Spirit will come out of it as well. You just have to wait a century or two.”
“I’ll be long dead by then!”
“Oh right, I forgot. You mortal beings, so eager to die.”
“I want to see Spirit. I want to be reunited with my stallion! How can I use the portal to join with my love?”
“You can’t. The portal is a one-way-street. That’s why King Sombra stored it in this cave of his failed experiments. I’m their guardian, you see? That and the punisher of his disobedient slaves. He sends them here for re-education, and I’m more than happy to feed on their rebellious emotions. You could say I have a working relationship with King Sombra.”
“I don’t care about any of that. I just want Spirit!”
“If that’s really what you want, you should start caring. As far as I know, there’s only one way for you to see your stallion again.”
“Tell me. I’ll do anything to be with him.”
“It’s actually very simple, in principle. All you have to do is wait for him for a century or two, and not die in between. Your mortality could get in the way of that, but you’re very fortunate to find yourself in this place. Well, fortunate is too strong of a word. It’s no coincidence though. King Sombra is the fringeiest mage in Equestria. If it’s forbidden magic you seek, he probably knows it.”
“So, this King Sombra can make me live until I’m reunited with Spirit?”
“In a sense. He can grant you immortality. However, even his magic has its limits. His blessings of immortality only last for a day or two. For you to remain immortal, you’d have to convince him to bestow his blessing on you every day. Of course, he only does that to his most loyal slaves. Therefore, you will never see Spirit again. You’ll have to make do without him.” She brushed her pussy against my coat. “In other words, you’re basically screwed; in more ways than one.”
“Where can I find this King Sombra?”
“You can see his castle the moment you step out of this cave.”
“That’s all I needed to know.” I rolled on my hooves, laying Chrysalis on the ground.
“I wouldn’t go there if I were you, though. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll gallop in the opposite direction as fast as you possibly can.”
She just smiled and lovingly brushed her hoof against my chest, “You have no idea what you’re getting yourself into, Rain. You’re in over your head, marefriend.”
“I’ll make do.”
“At least take my waist warmer. It’s cold outside.” She knotted the fabric around her abdomen. “Cozy Glow made it for me. She’s a psycho, but when it comes to knitting, nopony can compare to her.”
“That thing is useless to me. I never had to wear clothes before and I never will. I’m also still itchy where your rags touched my skin.” I caressed the flared-up patch on my stomach.
“It seems you’re allergic to wool. That’s unfortunate since that’s the only fabric they use in the castle. We’re kind of isolated up here since the whole world hates us. We are scheduled for a resupply today by the traders, but I doubt they’ll bring anything other than crystals for King Sombra.”
I left her in the chamber of weirdness and walked toward the cave’s tunnel to find an exit to the madness. After a few steps, I half closed my eyes and stopped. I looked back at her, “One last question. How come I can speak words? I could never do that in my world.”
She smiled and looked at the ceiling. “This world is designed for equines. You didn’t belong in this world, so the world couldn’t accept you; at least not as you were. Your body and being were changed so that you’re now compatible with this world. You’re lacking in some areas, given your allergy to wool and the lack of magic, but you make up for your deficiencies in other areas. I can certainly attest to that.” She pressed a forehoof on her pussy and absently giggled.
I was determined that just like Spirit had shown me his world, I would show him this world. And if I had to wait a century to do it, so be it. I walked toward the white light at the end of the tunnel.
When I came out of the cave, I realized I truly was in the new world. Everything was white, even the sky. Pieces of whiteness were falling from the clouds. When I caught one, it turned into water. “How can there be snow in summer?”
Another thing that chilled me was the actual cold. I’ve experienced cold before, but not to that extent.
Besides the big castle before me and a herd of some white creatures digging in the snow in the distance, there was nothing out there.
As I walked toward the castle, I pondered to myself if my visit wouldn’t be disruptive somehow. The King and Queen must have had a big fight if the King had the Queen live in a cave…
When I came to the entrance to the castle, my path was blocked by flat wood that I knew was called 'a door’.
I turned around and bucked at it with my hind legs. I managed to damage it a little, but they didn’t budge.
A moment later, I heard hoof clops approaching from the other side. Perhaps together we could destroy this barrier.
When the clops stopped, the door simply opened. What I saw on the other side was not a monster like in a cave, but almost a horse. More like a foal, judging from his size. And of course, he too had a horn on his forehead. It seemed to be a running trend in this Whiteland.
The black figure sized me over with a glance then sighed upon seeing the damage on the door. “You fucked my door. And you’re not a trader. Are you here for revenge of some sort? You need to make a reservation for that and take a number, you know?”
I was making a bad first impression, so I tried to overcompensate with my politeness. “I've traveled here from a better world through your sucky portal. I seek to reunite with my love who entered before me and is now somehow in the future, supposedly. I’ve been told by your lover Queen that you are able to grant immortality to those who are worthy. I'm desperate to receive the daily blessing of immortality by your fringe, limited magic so that I can cheat death in order to be reunited with my stallion. I’m sure you’re a very nice person, King Sombra, and will grant me my wish.”
He sighed. “Queen Chrysalis talks too much, yet too little at the same time…”
“I would actually like to also file a complaint against her.”
“You’ll need to take a number for that as well. She does seem to be doing her job, so I have no beef with her. And my experiment seems to actually work, somewhat. You really are from another world, aren’t you? I’ll need to study my formulas again, it seems I was onto something, after all. My equations are calling me to set them free upon the world; somepony else will have to deal with the traders when they come.” He turned around and yelled, “Cozy Glow!” He then sat down and muttered to forehooves, “If only I could direct the origin point to this universe, then time travel could actually be viable…”
“Err, about my immortality…” I interjected.
“Oh, right, let’s get this over with so that I don’t have to deal with you anymore.” He trotted back to me and laid his horn on my shoulder. “I bestow to you my daily blessing. You’re now immortal. For a day. Disclaimer: immortality does not equate to invulnerability. I’m not liable for mares jumping off the cliff. Not this time.”
I felt a wave of relief wash over me as the dark mage blessed me. The magical rejuvenation stream spread through my body. My flared skin patch from wool was instantly restored to normal. Even the scratches I had received from Queen Chrysalis healed in mere moments. I bowed to the dark mage. "Thank you, thank you so much," I said, tears of gratitude streaming down my face. "I promise that I will be a good mare and do everything in my power to deserve your daily blessings for the next century or two."
"Yeah, about that... I already have too many slaves. Why would I want to sacrifice more of my time with you? Chubbies are a waste of resources. I’ve seen starving fillies outdo their productivity."
I felt my heart sink at the mage's words. "Please, I beg of you, do not turn me away," I said, my voice shaking with desperation. "I will serve you faithfully and do anything you ask of me to receive your daily blessing and become immortal. I will work harder than any other slave, I will serve you with all my heart and soul. Please, just give me a chance to prove myself worthy of your blessing."
“You yelled?” A small filly flew down the corridor. This one actually had wings. And she flew!
"Tell you what, chubby…”
“Rain,” I corrected him.
“Whatever, this here is Cozy Glow. I tolerate her presence because she keeps me on the edge with her schemes. The sociopathy I pride myself with is only matched with her manipulative nature.” He turned to her, “Weren’t you supposed to manipulate snow off the road so the traders could bring me my crystals faster?”
“I was knitting.”
He sighed and turned back to me. “Chubby Rain, if you beat the lazy filly at her own game and convince her to sacrifice her immortality, you can take her place."
“I don’t like the sentiment but I do like the rules of the game.” Cozy Glow grinned. “This ought to be good.”
I was taken back by the mage's offer. "I... I don't know if I can do that," I said, feeling overwhelmed. "It's a great honor to be considered for the gift of immortality, but I couldn't possibly ask someone else to give it up for me. Is there no other way for me to earn your daily blessing?"
"There is no other way. I don't have space for any more slaves. If you wish to receive my daily blessings one of them has to go. All you have to do is make a spot and then you can fill said spot. With that, you will prove that you really want immortality. I hate hesitators."
I took a moment to consider the mage's words. A difficult task lay before me, but the temptation of living forever and meeting Spirit again motivated me. "I understand," I finally said after much hesitation. "I will do my best to convince your faithful slave to give up her immortality for me. Thank you for the opportunity, wise mage."
“Sure, throw me in with all the others, why don’t you?” The immortal slave landed before me and grinned. "I never want to leave this place. Good luck convincing me otherwise."
I approached Cozy Glow and looked into her eyes, trying to gauge her feelings. "I understand that you love serving the mage and that you never want to leave this place," I said gently. "But please consider the offer. By giving up your immortality, you can allow me to take your place and receive the mage's daily blessing. It's a difficult decision, but I hope you will consider it carefully."
“So, basically you’re offering me nothing.”
“Well, there’s everything to gain from my perspective, I just don’t have much to offer you in return.”
Cozy Glow sighed. "If I accept your offer, I will die. If I reject your deal, I will live forever. And I do want to live forever.” She waved a hoof at me in an explanatory manner. “Therefore, I reject your offer and substitute it with my own: Go crawl in a ditch and die." Her grin widened.
My body shook upon hearing her words. At the same time, I sympathized with Cozy Glow’s perspective. "I understand that you want to live forever, as do I," I said. "But please consider the fact that by giving up your immortality, you are not necessarily choosing death. You are simply choosing to leave this place and start a new life. And who knows, perhaps in time you will find a way to achieve immortality again. It's a difficult decision, and I don't want to pressure you either way. I just want you to consider all of your options before making a decision."
"Why don’t you take your own offer if it’s that good? I have considered all options and the best way for me to retain immortality is to stay here. Is there anything else you can offer me besides nothing?"
I thought for a moment, trying to come up with a way to persuade Cozy Glow. "Well, perhaps I can get you something else in exchange for your immortality," I said. "What is it that you desire most in the world? Is there something that I can give you that would make the decision easier for you?"
"What I most desire beyond anything else is immortal life."
I nodded again, immersed in Cozy Glow’s desire. "I understand that immortality is what you desire most in the world," I said. "And I wish that I could offer it to you. But perhaps there is something else that I can offer you instead, something that would make your life more fulfilling and bring you happiness. Is there anything else that you desire, anything that I can give you in exchange for your immortality?"
"Indeed there is a thing that brings me happiness and fulfills my life. The thing I speak of is immortality. That is all I want. I don't want anything else."
I sat on my plot in defeat. "I understand that immortality is all that you desire, and I respect your decision to keep it and stay here for days to come. Though I envy you, I wish you all the happiness in the world. I hope that you will continue to serve the mage faithfully and bring joy to his life."
King Sombra sighed, "I'm disappointed in you, Rain. I thought you actually wanted immortality, but it seems your desire to stay here is simply not strong enough."
I hung my head in shame at the mage's words. "I'm sorry, wise mage," I said, feeling guilty for not being able to convince Cozy Glow to give up her immortality. "I truly desire immortality more than anything else in the world. I'm sorry that I was not able to convince your faithful slave to give up her immortality for me. It was her decision, and I respect her choice to keep it."
"Don't you want to live forever?” The mage tried to motivate me. “Here's your opportunity. Just make a spot for yourself. If you can’t beat her at her own game, do it on your own turf. Exploit her weakness. She’s the smallest pony around here while you’re the biggest… creature. There are plenty of stones lying around under the snow if you need a tool for the job. I can even give you my horseshoe for the task. Prove that you really want the spot."
“Er, what’s going on here right now?” Cozy Glow interjected.
King Sombra glanced at her, “You know the rules; might makes right.”
I paused, considering the mage's words. The desire for immortality was strong within me, and the thought of being able to live forever was tempting. But at the same time, I couldn’t bring myself to take someone else's immortality away from Cozy Glow, especially not by force. "I'm sorry, wise mage, but I can't do that," I said, shaking my head. "I respect Cozy Glow’s decision to keep her immortality, and I can't go against her wishes. It's not right to force someone to give up something that they value so highly. I'm sorry, but I can't take someone else's immortality in order to obtain it for myself, much less their life.."
"All it takes you is one minute of your time and you'll get to live forever. Is it really so hard to sacrifice a minute of your time to achieve immortality?"
I hesitated, the temptation of immortality causing me to waver. "It's not that I'm unwilling to sacrifice anything for immortality," I said slowly. "It's just that I can't bring myself to take someone else's immortality away from them, especially not by force. It wouldn't be fair to them, and it goes against my own sense of morality. I'm sorry, wise mage, but I can't go against my nature in order to achieve immortality. It's just not something that I can do."
"You say you want to be my slave, yet you choose to obey yourself instead of me. That's not a marking of a good slave."
I lowered my head in shame, knowing that the mage was right. "You are correct, wise mage," I said. "As your slave, it is my duty to obey you and serve you to the best of my ability. And yet, I have allowed my own sense of morality to take precedence over my duty to you. For that, I am deeply sorry. I will strive to be a better slave in the future, and to put your needs and desires above my own."
"Good. Here is my horseshoe since you can’t be bothered to find a stone." The mage placed a horseshoe in my hooves.
“Mister Sombra, why would you put me in danger?!” She looked at him with puppy eyes and brushed on his foreleg. “You said you needed me.”
King Sombra ignored her and kept looking at me. "Now open a slot for yourself. It will only take you a minute. There’s an immortality spell waiting for you tomorrow that will let you retain your immortality for yet another day."
I stared at the horseshoe in my hooves, feeling torn. The temptation of immortality was strong, and the thought of being able to live forever was almost too much to resist. But at the same time, I couldn’t bring myself to go against my own principles and take someone else's immortality away from them. "I'm sorry, wise mage," I said, shaking my head. "I can't do it. I can't take someone else's immortality in order to obtain it for myself. It goes against everything I believe in. I'm sorry, but I can't accept your offer." I returned the horseshoe back to the mage, hoping that he would understand my decision.
“I hate creatures like you. So self-righteous that you can’t even serve.”
I slumped my head in shame. All my life I believed that the ability to be tamed was my special talent. But it seemed I wasn’t even good at that…
King Sombra sighed. "Okay, here is my final offer. You can become a slave of Cozy Glow. Each day, I will offer one blessing to the two of you. By default, the psycho filly will get it, but if she ever decides to pass it to you, I will give it to you instead of her. That way, she will grow one day older and you will become immortal for that day. Do you agree?"
I thought about the mage's offer, considering all of my options. Becoming a slave to the immortal slave was not what I had hoped for, but it would at least give me the opportunity to someday receive the daily blessings of immortality. "I understand your offer, wise mage," I said. "And while I had hoped to receive the blessing by your grace alone, I am willing to accept this compromise. I will serve the immortal slave to the best of my ability, and I hope that someday she will choose to pass the daily blessings on to me. Thank you for the opportunity, wise mage."
King Sombra walked away without even throwing me a glance. All he said was, “Have fun, Cozy Glow, but don’t forget to take care of the traders when they come. I need those crystals!”
"This is awesome!" said Cozy Glow. "You will do all the chores for me and I will be free and immortal. Of course, I'll never want to grow a day older so I'll never actually pass the daily blessing onto you. This is really great for me."
I nodded, understanding Cozy Glow’s feelings. "This arrangement will be beneficial for you. I accept that and will do my best to serve you and fulfill all of your needs, and I hope that in time you will come to see me as a valued member of your household. And even if you never choose to pass the daily blessing on to me, I will still be grateful for the opportunity to serve you and be a part of your life while remaining the closest to my goal as possible even if I’ll never reach it."
She grinned. "You do understand that in practice you will just be a slave every day for the rest of your mortal life without receiving anything in return, right? Instead of being free, you condemn yourself to life-long slavery. Instead of being paid to work, you will work for free. And all the while I will abuse you and make you work twice as hard as I ever had to."
I felt my heart sink at Cozy Glow’s words. "I understand that this arrangement may not be ideal for me and that I may not receive the daily blessing of immortality as I had hoped," I said. "But I am still willing to accept this arrangement, as it gives me the opportunity to serve and be a part of your life. I will work hard, regardless. And even if I am not able to receive the daily blessing, I’ll live without regret of missing out on the potential. This is the best deal I could get, and I’ll try to be grateful for it."
Cozy Glow grinned. "Yay! I have a slave now. Let’s get this train rolling. Here's your first task. As you can see, this year's winter was quite cold and there's s a lot of snow on the road to this castle. It’s probably why the traders haven't come yet. Throw all the snow off the road. It shouldn’t take you more than a day or two."
"Yes, of course," I said, bowing my head in obedience. "I will do my best to complete this task to your satisfaction."
“I can give you wool clothes that I designed so that you don’t die of cold out there.“
“No,” I said simply. I remembered the already cured chafing where Chrysalis's wool touched my skin.
“Did you just say no to me!?! And I haven’t even shown you my designs yet.” She opened a wardrobe in the hallway and took out a flat pony. “Look, these furtight bodysuits are all cozy-like. You’ll freeze without them.”
I wasn’t so obsessed with freedom as Spirit, but I knew a cage when I saw one. “You’ll never get me to touch these atrocities, let alone wear them. They’re unnatural and hurtful. I’d rather die than wear these furtight bodysuits.”
“You have no idea how much time it took me to make them.” She banged a hoof at the wall. “I could have been mean to you, but for the first and last time, I chose to try to be nice to you, instead. And this is the shit I get for giving friendship a chance.” She glared at me with tears in her eyes. “Get out!”
I tried to deescalate the situation, “I didn’t mean to upset you, it’s just that the wool—”
“Get the fuck out!” She pointed a hoof toward the exit. “You have your task. Clean the road down to the valley. Don’t come back until you finish.”
“Yes, master.” I quickly said, opening the door of the castle.
I hesitated for a moment when the cold breeze chilled me. Then the door hit me on my way out and I fell snout first into the snow.
There was no point for me to chill on the spot. I had to make amends, so I set to work kicking the snow off the road, determined to fulfill my duties as a slave to the best of my ability. It was hard work, but I was determined to do my best and complete the task to Cozy Glow’s satisfaction.
I noticed that something changed in the white wasteland while I was inside. Two lines were drawn in the snow on the road, leading past the entrance behind the castle.
I paid it no mind and instead trotted away, scouting the length of the road I was supposed to clear. From behind me, I sensed some noises. As I pinned my ears, I recognized spoken words. I turned around and noticed 3 shapes in the distance making their way to the front of the castle. They didn’t buck at the door but merely knocked.
When the door opened I heard one say, “Hello, little one. Are you the stallion of the house?”
I heard Cozy Glow’s voice but I couldn’t make out what she said. However, the response was, “Oh, so you are the one in charge then. I’ll make it really simple. We delivered everything you ordered to your storage. Now if you would be so kind as to settle the bill we can then party like there’s no tomorrow while we wait for the weather to clear up.”
The trio stepped in and the door closed. I was left in the cold silence of the looming dusk.
The sun set and the already cold temperature dropped even further. I felt every breeze on my exposed short coat. The clothes never made sense to me before, but in that frozen landscape, I started to have doubts about the correctness of my rejection of Cozy Glow’s provisions. Despite the hard work, I was shaking all over. I could hardly even breathe because it felt as if the icy air was chafing my throat as if it was made of wool. The warmth in the castle seemed more and more inviting, but I hadn’t finished my task yet, I’d barely begun. I couldn’t even see the valley down the hill. It would take me at least two more days, yet I knew I wouldn’t survive until the morning in the snow.
I shivered in the cold, my hooves and snout numb from the freezing temperatures. My skin was so cold that it stung. It was hard to keep going through the pain and discomfort, but I knew that I had a duty to fulfill. I couldn’t let myself be seen as weak or unwilling to do my best, not after what I had said and done. So I pushed myself to continue working. I kept trying to motivate myself because I knew that the moment I stop exerting myself, I’d freeze to death.
Though my body still had a bit of strength left, my hooves did not. After pushing them through the icy snow so much, I couldn’t feel them anymore. When I tried to shove the snow, they’d just bounce off the road as if they were dead. When I lifted a hoof, it dangled lifelessly in the air. I had no control over it. Mere standing on four legs became a feat of balance. The night was showing its teeth. The cold and the wind increased. The temperature was dropping fast.
My body shut down little by little due to the extreme cold. I was in big trouble. None of my hooves worked, and I knew that if I stayed exposed without finding a way to warm up, I'd soon freeze to death.
Finishing my task was out of the question. The completion was days away, and I only had little life left in me. Desperate and alone, I decided to disobey my master.
The first step toward the castle ended up with my face buried in snow. I was on the verge of giving up on my life, but then I remembered Spirit. I wasn’t in it for me, I was in it for him! He would never give up, and neither should I. My love gave me the strength I needed.
I shook my head, spraying the snow around. One by one, I planted my unresponsive hooves under me and pushed. And again! And again.
Little by little, I crawled toward the castle, hoping I could make it before freezing solid. It was a long and difficult journey, but I knew that I had to keep moving to survive.
After what felt like forever, I reached the stone building. My whole body was numb from the cold and I couldn’t even knock.
I arched my neck and threw my head against the door. It felt as if my frozen skin cracked on impact, but I was desperate so I slammed my head against the door again. And again.
Finally, the door opened. “Well, well, well. What do we have here?” Cozy glow snarled.
I had insulted her craft, failed at my task, disobeyed her. She had every right to be upset with me. I planted my head before her hooves. “I’m so sorry…”
She stepped on my head with a hoof. “Oh, how the mighty has fallen. So, did you complete your task?”
I closed my eyes in defeat. “No.”
“So, you came here for motivational provision, is that it?”
I sure did need some provisions. I was on death’s door. “Yes,” I said simply.
“You should learn to say yes to me more often, you know?” She stepped to the wardrobe again and pulled a rope-like object out of it. “But let me give you some motivational provisions while the traders ponder on my proposal.”
“Thank you,” I said with my mind being almost as numb as my body.
She walked over to me and shut the door, cutting me off the only source of heat.
I looked at her in confusion.
"I see that you're struggling, but I can help you with your task. What I have here is a whip. Every time I deem that your progress is slow, I can motivate you with it so that your productivity increases. This way, you will be able to complete the task faster. Isn't that great? Aren't I the most helpful person with the best motivational provisions?"
I winced at the thought of being whipped, knowing that it would only make my already impossible task even more unbearable. "I'm sorry, Cozy Glow, but I can't accept your offer," I said, shaking my head. "I understand that you want to help me complete the task, but I don't think that using violence is the answer. I can't let myself be whipped in order to work. I'm sorry, but I just can't accept that."
"That's okay.” She caressed my face with a hoof. “You are my slave and I don't need your permission. What I said was not an offer. I'm just telling you what will happen. You have no choice in this. Now go back to work or I’ll use my whip as generously as if I was an element of Generosity herself. The whipping will continue until your morale improves.”
I felt my heart sink at Cozy Glow's words, knowing that I had no choice but to accept her punishment. I lay my head on the frozen ground in submission. I couldn’t go back to work even if I wanted to. My body was numb from the cold.
"It seems that you're making zero progress. I will now motivate you the best I can to cure you of your laziness. I think you just want to get whipped, don’t you, you dirty masochist. You’re just asking for it."
I felt the first lash of the whip against my skin, and I cried out in pain. Despite my best efforts to move, it was clear that I was unable to, much less go back to work. All I could do was endure the punishment and make peace with myself.
My body shook, even more from the pain than the cold. The tears froze soon after they drifted from my eyes. Besides wincing, I couldn’t do anything else but withstand the long ordeal. The whipping continued relentlessly.
“Well, that takes care of my cardio for today.” Cozy glow said as she collapsed on my body.
I couldn’t even say anything. My mind was blank and my body even more so.
“Well, I hope you learned your lesson. It's best that you get back to work now, or else you'll never finish. Let me know if you need anything else in order to complete your task.” She stood up and walked over me toward the door.
“Clothes,” I whispered.
”I already offered you the clothes I made. But you said no to me! I guess you don’t need them then. Now go back to work and don’t come back until you finish your task.”
The door shut and I was left outside in the freezing cold to die.
In a daze, I heard some unknown voices from beyond the door inside the castle.
“Those are predatory trading tactics, Cozy Glow!”
“They can’t be that bad if you agreed to the deal.”
“You gave us no choice!”
“Well, our trade is complete, so that’s that. Thank you for your visit.”
“Aren’t you at least going to offer us a place to sleep for the night?”
“Come back soon. Goodbye. And if you’re unhappy about something, just take it out on Rain.”
Three figures were shoved outside. The door shut behind them.
“Rain?” said one of them. “It’s still snowing outside…”
“I’m Rain,” I whispered.
“Celestia’s butt, what is that!” The other one jumped back to the door. “It’s so big and massive.”
“I’ve never seen her kind before, but she seems pony enough,” the first one said. “Pick her up. Let’s carry her to our carriage.”
“Why?” The third one interjected.
“She’s going to freeze if we don’t warm her up. And despite the bad deal I made with Cozy Glow, you both get equal shares even though the profit is virtually nothing. She is the best compensation you can hope to get.”
“Oh, I get it now.” the third one put my foreleg around his neck. “When life screws you over, screw it back. Make something out of nothing. Let’s do her.”
The second one joined in grabbing my other foreleg. “Cozy Glow fucked us over, I say we return the sentiment.”
As the two dragged me through the snow, the first one stepped behind me and put his hoof under my tail. Even though my body was numb, I tensed all my muscles as I felt the intrusion.
“She’s still warm inside, guys!”
They threw me into the carriage that was parked near the castle. After that, all 3 entered as well.
“Maybe it was a good call to sell all our wares after all.” The first one said, “Now we have some space to work with.”
“It’s not like we could sell the shiny rocks to anypony else,” the second one added and turned to me. “Too bad we had to throw out the stove to make room for more crystals; the only way we can warm you up now is with our own bodies. However, after that, we’ll have to be on our way and you’ll have to find some other way to warm yourself up.”
I didn’t want to be ungrateful since I’d already be half-dead if it weren’t for them, but I did want them to understand my situation. “I can return to the castle, but only if I clear all the snow off the road down to the valley.”
“How about this,” the first one said. “We warm you up with our bodies and then we help you clear the road?”
“Wait, what?” The third one interjected. “I didn’t sign up for that.”
The first one winked at him. “Just roll with it.”
“You’d do that for me?” I asked.
“So, do we have a deal?” The first one lifted my head.
I would welcome their help, though I didn’t want to be a burden. When I saw that his proposal actually got him excited in more ways than one, I didn’t have the heart to turn him down. “I agree to your term. I’m down with it all the way.”
“Alrighty then.”
I felt his excitement first-hoof as he shoved his erect dick into my mouth. “Ngh!”
“Oh, Celestia, she’s so spacious in there!” The first one exclaimed enthusiastically. “I bet I could even push it down her throat.”
The third one caressed my neck. “Doesn’t that go against pony physiology?”
“I don’t think she’s even a pony,” the first one said as he shoved his dick deeper and deeper into my mouth, making me gag on it.
“I call the pussy!” The second one exclaimed as he hugged my abdomen.
“Hey, no fair!” The third one yelled. “We agreed to an equal share!”
“Try her ass,” the second one said as he penetrated me.
“You know that won’t work.” He banged a hoof on the floor. “I’m too big for that.”
I wanted to say something, but my throat was full of cock.
“Don’t diss her until you try her,” said the first one, chafing my throat from the inside.
He lifted my tail and positioned his member. I felt its size. He was a small horse, but his dick was on pair with Spirit’s.
The first one pulled out, allowing me to cough out his pre-cum and take a breath. “It won’t fit in there!” I tried to turn my head to him, but the first one already grabbed my ears and shoved his stallion-hood even deeper in my throat than before.
“No, no, I think I can make it fit,” the third one said as he spread my butt cheeks apart. “It’s just a matter of force.” With that, he threw himself at me, piercing my behind like a spear.
I wanted to scream, but all I could do was choke harder.
As I banged my hooves against the floor after each shove of their dicks, I wished they’d just left me outside. Each thrust felt like a slap to the face, and they were thrusting like there was no tomorrow.
“Hey, guys, check this out,” the first one exclaimed. “All the way in.” With that, he trusted his dick down my throat until his balls bounced off my snout.
“Gah!” was the only sound I could make. Tears streamed from my eyes, yet the discomfort persisted.
“Me too!” The second one also pushed into me, right to my womb.
“Me three!” The third one exclaimed.
All my muscles tensed as the ripping pain spread throughout my intestines. I gurgled as loud as I could, but all 3 dicks persisted in me, filling me completely.
After much consumed cum, chafed throat, pussy and ass, I finally felt warm enough to move a little.
The three of them rested at the corners of the steamy carriage, watching me with glee.
“I think I’ll just go now,” I said simply.
“Naa!” the first one interjected. “We still have to help you clear the road.”
“Do we really?” the other two sighed.
“A deal’s a deal Everypony out!”
We left the carriage. The first one was the last to step out. In his snout, he carried two pieces of rope which he proceeded to tie on both sides of the carriage. “The road is too slippery for us to depart. We’ll need to make an anchor of some kind or the carriage will go out of control. Or better yet a plow to break the acceleration in our descent. Get in position, you two!”
The other two traders obeyed their leader, each going to his own side of the carriage, getting ready to push.
The first one threw the opposite ends of the tied ropes on the ground. They were tied into two loops.
I looked at him in confusion. “So, where’s the plow?”
“You are the plow.” He shoved me from the side, making me strife, right into the loops.
I gasped as I remembered what happened when I wrapped a robe under Spirit’s legs once.
“Go!” the first one yelled and the loops tightened around my forelegs and hind legs. The force pulled the hooves under me and I fell with my side on the ground.
The first one jumped over me and helped push the carriage.
“This is not what I—”
The snow filled my mouth and I could no longer speak. More snow was gathering on my abdomen as I was pulled behind the carriage on the frozen road.
Even though the road was already partially clean from my previous hoofing, the snow kept piling on. I felt the chaffing of the snow on my body, especially on the whipped patches of my skin, but it was nothing in comparison to what happened next.
We reached the descent. The part where I haven’t cleared yet. But they pushed on, making the carriage move even faster. Despite tensing all my legs, I felt them trying to rip themselves out of the sockets, such was the force of the speeding carriage.
A barrage of snow hit my body. It got into my every nook and cranny. I was choking on it.
As the carriage ran out of control, I was bombarded with heaps of snow. It felt as if a whole herd was hitting me all over the body.
The pull on my legs loosened and we slowly came to a stop.
Disoriented, I lay there in confusion, buried under the heaps of snow. Only my legs were free of it.
“Whew, that was quite a ride,” I heard the first one say as he untied the rope from my legs. “Give our regards to heartless Cozy Glow.”
All the warmth I’d gathered in the gangbang in the carriage was violently taken from me by the barrage of snow. My body was shaking in the snow coffin. I knew that I couldn’t afford to rest.
Kicking and thrashing around, I fought against the packed-up snow on top of me. By the time I managed to free myself, the carriage with the traders was long gone.
I looked up the hill toward the castle, the endless source of heat in the desolate winter. The only silver lining on my difficult journey was that I didn’t have to trudge through the snow to get there. There was a functional road, cleared of snow. Despite already shaking from the cold, my body shook extra hard at the thought of the recent event. With every step I took on the polished road, I was reminded of my sacrifice that made it so.
Despite my mixed feelings about what had happened, I knew that I had to keep going, so I pushed myself on.
By the time I reached the castle, I was already half-frozen.
Listening in by placing my stiff ear on the door revealed nothing but silence. All the inhabitants must have been asleep.
I tried to operate the doorknob the way I saw Cozy Glow do it, but it didn’t work. The door was locked.
Though I could just knock until somecreature opened the door, I knew they wouldn’t be happy if I woke them up for my selfish reasons. The last time they were displeased by me, I almost died.
The night was cold, but at least near the door, I was out of the wind and snow. It may have been just my eyes adjusting to the darkness, but I felt that the night wasn’t as dark as it was before. Perhaps morning was soon to come.
If I only managed to survive a bit more, I could announce that I completed my task without displeasing anycreature again.
I nuzzled against the warm door. It wasn’t enough to stop me from shivering, but compared to everything else I had to endure that day, it was paradise. No work, no snow, no whip, no abuse. Finally, I could rest.
Despite the chilling discomfort, my eyes closed and my mind went numb.
I was awoken when the door opened, making me fall inside. The ice on my coat scattered and splattered on the floor.
“This again?” Cozy glow sighed. “It’s too early for my cardio…”
“I’ve finished my task,” I whispered proudly.
“Well, that changes things.” She grabbed my legs and rolled me inside, shutting the door behind me.
I felt the heat! I filled my nostrils with warm air. There was hope for me yet.
“Last night, I watched you through the window of the carriage and listened in. You had quite some fun, didn’t you, whorse? For some reason, you don’t have a cutie mark, but I know exactly what it should be. Not sure how an anal canal would be represented, though. Regardless, I know what you’re good for now.”
The heat inside warmed me enough that I could finally start moving a little. Though standing up was still a tall order. I tried to secure my place in the castle by sucking up to my master Cozy Glow. Looking up at her, I said, “I had a lot of time to think and I realized how wrong I was to dismiss your crafting. I’d love nothing more than to wear your creations. Alas, they’re made for little ponies so I guess I’ll never get an opportunity to. Despite the great loss, I am fine with that.”
“Oh, is that what you want?” Cozy Glow grinned. “That’s weird because nopony else wants to wear them. Even Queen Chrysalis cut off everything but the waist part before she put it on.”
“Too bad they don’t know what they’re missing, right? And unfortunately, I’ll have to miss it as well.”
“You’re in luck. I think the bodysuits are stretchy enough even for you to fit in. Well, stretchy is a wrong word since the material doesn’t actually stretch. Tough is a better word. The clothes stay stiff even if they don’t fit properly; they just chaff more.”
I nervously whipped my tail. I was getting on her good side, but I was putting myself in danger at the same time. Luckily, I had an unbeatable argument to use in my defense. “That’s great to hear. Unfortunately, I’ll never be able to wear them because I’m allergic to wool.”
“I don’t mind,” Cozy Glow said simply and walked to the wardrobe.
That threw me off. “You don’t mind?”
“I may be judgemental, but I’ll keep my prejudices against you to myself for this instance since you showed such appreciation for my clothes.” She started to take out clothes from the wardrobe one by one.
I tried to wiggle out of the tense situation, “Though I’m the biggest fan of your craft, I am perfectly fine observing your fabric from afar or even inside a locked wardrobe that would never open.”
“Nah, it’s okay. If you like them, you’ll get to wear them.”
My body shook.
“Though, it would be a shame if you were to change your mind and dis on them again. There is still no room available for you in the castle and if you were to ever find yourself outside again, you might freeze to death without protection.”
I wanted to say something but found it hard to speak due to an onset of sudden hyperventilation.
“Did you know there were 6 elements of harmony?”
“I have no clue what you’re talking about.”
“They were an evil group who infiltrated my homeland and punished everypony who disagreed with them. There’s the spirit of honesty.” She threw an orange furtight bodysuit before me.
“What does that have anything to do with these clothes?”
“Kindness!” She threw a yellow jumpsuit on top of the other. “Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty.” She threw a yellow, white and blue one as well.
I flinched because they were all made of wool that I was allergic to and because they seem way too tight. I didn’t even like wearing clothes, even less so the clingy clothes that touched me profusely all over.
“Due to King Sombra’s failed alchemy experiments, we have lots of color dies. I used them to paint these clothes in the colors of the Mane 6.”
“Look, they’re nice and all, but they’re all too small and I’m allergic to them, so why don’t we just appreciate them from afar?”
“And the evil Element of Magic to rule them all!” She threw a lavender furtight bodysuit that was even tighter than the rest. “And you get to wear it because you want to and I found it in my heart to forgive you for dissing my craft.”
I sighed. “Do you want me to pick one?”
“No, of course not. They’re a set. You have to wear all of them.”
“First of all, that would probably just kill me, and second of all, I couldn’t put this on even if I tried.”
“Everything is possible with magic!” Her horn glowed and I was lifted in the air.
“Not this again…”
One after another, the furtight bodysuits floated up and devoured me. They didn’t stretch, it was I who got squeezed from all sides. I wanted to scream, but the magical force kept my muzzle shut.
The wool irritated my skin. The tightness of just one made me feel trapped, and I wore 6 of them. The itchiness all over my body was relentless. I could feel my allergies flare up, inflaming my skin. Pure dread and despair washed over me.
When I was finally dropped back down, I didn’t want to even move because I would feel the chaffing even more. I just stood there with tears in my eyes.
“The Elements of Harmony put me in a tight spot once. These clothes represent anguish. I’d be trapped in stone forever if King Sombra wouldn’t save me.”
“I have nothing but praise for them. Can I take them off now?”
“The zipper is on the neck. And that’s why I made this part of the set as well.” She picked up an oval ring and flew over me. “It goes through the zipper pull.” She pulled it through and snapped the ring around my neck.
“But now I’ll have to take off this ring as well…”
“It’s called a collar. It’s my own design. You can take it off at any time, as long as it isn’t locked.”
I heard a metallic click. “What was that?”
She landed before me and levitated a small key from the collar. “I know what you’re thinking: What if Cozy Glow loses the key?”
“Why did you even lock the collar around my neck in the first place?”
“But don’t worry. I won’t lose it. Look.” She floated it in her mouth and swallowed. “I can’t lose it now even if I try.”
“What did you do!?! How am I going to get out of the clothes now?”
“You get it now, don’t you? You finally understand how I felt when I was trapped inside the stone prison. But don’t worry. Just like how King Sombra saved me, I can save you.”
“How? You swallowed the key! And even though I was really cold before, I’m getting really hot now. Can I please take off your beautiful clothes? We wouldn’t want to damage them, right?”
“You’d need a key for your collar to take them off, but what we can do is get you someplace colder.” She flew on my back and pointed her hoof forward. “To the dungeons.”
The many layers of furtight bodysuit resisted my movement, but I tried to fight against the scratching and chafing. Maybe if I showed her my obedience first, I could then convince her to cut me out of the enwrapping prisons.
On the way to the dungeons, we came across King Sombra.
He dropped his crystals upon seeing me. “You’re still alive?” King Sombra brushed his hoof across my body. “I hate those without a purpose. All of them are already dead, they just don’t know it yet.” He turned to Cozy Glow, “I guess I don’t know you as well as I thought.”
“I found her purpose!” Cozy Glow announced proudly.
“Did you now?”
“She’s a gag-happy, ass-taking nymphomaniac.”
That statement hit me so hard that it rendered me numb.
“Well, that certainly would make her useful. The slaves are getting restless from the all-work-no-fun routine. With the prospect of instant pleasure, overall productivity wouldn’t suffer. It might actually increase because of a greater divide between reward and punishment. However, there’s still a problem with the lack of space. I have no room to offer her.”
“She doesn’t need a room. We’re actually going to the dungeons right now where it’s nice and cold so that she can wear my furtight bodysuits that she likes so much.”
King Sombra turned to me. “You want to wait for somepony to drop from my magic mirror a century from now, right?”
I nodded, still dumbfounded by what Cozy Glow said about me.
“I’ll announce your availability to the whole castle, and if they all give you a good review I’ll ride you myself every day and give you my immortality blessing while I’m doing you.”
“I do want the immortality blessings. They’re the only way for me to see Spirit again.” I wasn’t keen on all the other parts, though.
“We have a deal then. I’ll see you soon and you’ll both receive your immortality blessings.” He levitated his crystals and trotted off.
Cozy Glow jumped on me. “Yay, Rain will get to wait for her fuck-stallion, and we’ll have so much fun in between.”
Cozy Glow kept riding me on the way to the dungeon.
I was confused when she chained me to the floor in the middle of an empty room.
“Now remember, you need to get a good review from everypony.”
I closed my eyes and mentally prepared myself. If I could handle the traders I could handle a few more. “How many stallions are in this castle anyway?”
“Just a few hundred,” Cozy Glow said simply as she walked away. “Have fun!”
