Diamond Dog Burrow

High-Alpha growled as a Greyhound by the name of Black-Tooth bowing before a wolf sitting on a throne of pony and changeling skulls.

Around the tower of skulls sat bulldogs and other “higher” dog breeds dressed in well-kept armor instead of old rusted ones, the walls of the throne room were earthen and rich with gem deposits. The Greyhound barely held his hunger and greed back as he gazed upon the riches of the High-Alpha as the wolf's paws lazed a mare heavy with milk and foal she was dressed in blues of all shades that went well with her mint green fur. The hound gulped under the wolf's gaze before saying in a strong bark.

“We have problem.”

“A problem?” asked the wolf in a whisper-like voice and in perfect Equestrian, “What problem do you speak of pup?”

''A thing with a boom-stick took out our scouting pack and freed the changelings they had capture,” said the hound with his eyes downcast, “No survivors.”

“Tell me everything you know,” growled the wolf in a dangerously low growl. The wolf's growl cause all of the dogs in the room to flinch as if they were hit by fist full of burning coals. The mare on the other hand brushed herself against wolf's legs as cat would. The wolf paused to gently to scratch behind her ear before growling at the hound again.

“And I do mean everything......speak of falsehoods then you'll be stripped of your dog-hood and be marked a slave.”

“Of Course High-Alpha,” said the hound before starting to disclose everything he knew.

Once the hound had finished his tale, the High-Alpha sat in his throne with his eyes darkening in thought before growling to the dogs in the hall.

“Send the hounds. Bring me this Isaiah...alive.”

Canterlot

Isaiah sighed.

“The real question is, why did she roofie me?” he asked.

The question hung in the still air like an ominous presence until Celestia coughed into her hoof.

“It was my idea at first. I was being sarcastic but Luna and Cadance wanted to go through with it-”

“What did you drug me with,” asked the human, rising at eyebrow at the eldest princess.

“Flunitrazepam” said Celestia, “I never thought it would affect you, since you are from another world.”

''Flunitrazepam? Really? That stuff can kill if you overdose. How much you used?” asked Isaiah nervously, his hand unknowingly to him starts shaking as if there was an electric current following through it.

''Well since you’re not a pony, so we wasn't sure how much to give so we gave you half of the legal dose. About 200 micrograms,'' said Luna rising an eyebrow at her friend's behavior.

Isaiah's face pales at the amount of drugs his “girlfriends” gave him before hissing.

“Luna, Celestia are you fucking idiots! THAT IS FUCKING FATAL TO HUMANS!” after shouting the human starts hyperventilating.

“WHAT!?” shouted the Royal Sisters before attempting to calm the human down and console him as best they could. Telling him that they didn't meant for that to happen. They didn't know but as they comforted to human, the two mares looked at each other remorsefully. The human had never yelled at them or anything of the like, but that didn't really matter at the moment. They had almost killed their only friend and mate. It was pure luck that the overdose hadn't fully affected the human. However, it could be a delayed reaction. Telepathically, Celestia told Luna to fetch the doctor as quickly as could, then collect Cadance while she remain at Isaiah's side. Luna's horn flashed with midnight blue light and vanished from her sister and mate's sight.

With Luna gone Celestia nuzzled into the humans shoulder. Her ear twitching at the anxious breathing of the human in her hooves. She whispers in his ear that everything was going to be fine and that she was to blame since she was the one who first spoken the idea of drugging him in the first place and her herd mates weren't at fault. Heat affects a mare’s mentality, makes them do things they would normally never do. If Isaiah had heard her in his panic attack she didn't know but there at his side she remained until Luna came with the royal doctor by the time they had reached her and Isaiah the human felled unconscious.

“Princess! We need to move him to medical bay NOW!” ordered the doctor, lighting his horn to move the human; but the Princesses stopped him and reminded him of the human’s imperviousness to magic. Thinking quickly, Luna manage to get him unto her back completely baffling both her sister and the doctor on how she manage to get him on her back in the first place but with an quick shake of their heads and the unanimous decision not to question it, they galloped to the medical wing of the castle. As they ran, they startled the maids and guards alike. It wasn't long for Cadance to join up with the galloping herd of ponies.

“Auntie!” cried Cadance, her ruined make up was a clear sign of her poor emotional state. “Luna t-told me everything! It's.....It's....It's all my fault. I should have never insisted on doing that to Isaiah! What kind of mare I am if I-I killed-”

“Don't think like that Cadance!” Celestia said mid-gallop, “It's all of my fault. I was the one who suggested it and supplied the Flunitrazepam in the first place. We didn't know that it would work on him. So please, don't blame yourself.”

“B-but it was I who gave it to him in the Hoof Stomp! I poisoned him!'' wept Candace. Tears starting to run down her muzzle.

“No, we are all are to blame.......not one of use spoke out against the idea,” said Luna with a mournful expression. “What kind of lovers are we if we do this to our stallion?”

After the long gallop, the herd of ponies manage to reach the medical bay, but the doctors and nurses took the lone human away and forbid the royals from entering until they stabilized him, leaving three emotional unstable mares behind.

The trio were left unsure if they were worthy of being with the human as both his friends and lovers. The three shared a shamefaced and self-loathing look before their minds cruelly played images of Isaiah dying or leaving them, to never to look at them kindly again.
