Author's Notes:

I know I said in the comments of the last chapter that I probably wouldn't do anymore clop... but there's another clop scene in this chapter. It's marked for those who want to avoid it, so please do so if you don't want that.

(Vash’s PoV)

I woke the next morning with Morning, Celestia and Luna curled up around me, kinda like the last time we all got together like that. After the morning haze cleared slightly my mind dimly noted that someone seemed to be missing. I scanned the room and I realized that Zinnia wasn’t among the cuddle pile. I got up and checked any hidden area of the room to see if she had passed out somewhere unexpected. After an extensive search that included places she couldn’t possibly fit in, I decided to extend my search to the rest of the castle. I reached into the closet and appropriated some pajama pants so I wouldn’t give anyone an unintended show, and set off on a hunt for the Draconid.

I wandered down the hallway for a while, checking every room along the way. At one point I think I wandered in on a couple of guards going at it, since one of them was tied up and suspended from the ceiling, but I got out of there before they could see me so I can’t be sure.

I was passing by one of the upper balconies when I heard music, making me stop and go back. Peeking round the edge of the door, I saw Zinnia dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans and a white version of her leather bra from yesterday, a studded black leather jacket sitting on the railing beside her, while she played a sad sounding song from her iPod, singing along to it.

I moved into the door as she poured all of her feelings into the song, just watching. She turned around once she’d finished, eyes down until she saw me, freezing.

“V-Vash!” she cried, taking a step back. “Uh… H-how long were you…”

“About halfway into the song,” I admitted. “Is there something on your mind?”

She stayed quiet for a second before her eyes began to water, small tears falling down her cheeks. “Vash…” she sobbed, gripping her jacket tightly. “Am I a bad person?”

I rushed over to her and wrapped my arms around her, softly stroking her head. “Not once have I thought you were a bad person the entire time you’ve been here. What would ever make you think that?” I asked gently.

“Y-you know what My Little Pony is, right?” she asked, and I nodded. “Well… Darkrai, he’s trying to take over my Equestria, and he took over Rainbow Dash’s mind.” She paused as sobs wracked her body. “I-I couldn’t s-s-save her… A-and instead of telling h-her friends…” She broke down, wailing and dropping to her knees, and I went down with her. “I-instead of t-t-telling them I had s-sex with Fluttersh-shy and P-Pinkie Pie-hie-hie!”

“Shh, hey, that doesn’t make you a bad person,” I told her, holding her tighter. “Tell me something, do you know that you fucked up?” I asked.

“I-I’m not d-done…” she answered, burying her face in the shirt I’d thrown on. “I-I did tell them l-later… but not until S-Shy was… was raped by Darkrai…” She sniffled, eyes tight shut. “I-I wasn’t f-fast enough, Vash… I-I could have s-stopped him…”

“Zinnia... “ I paused, looking for the right words to say. “There was nothing you could’ve done. You tried to save both of them, I’m sure that’s what matters most to them. We can’t go back in time and stop ourselves from making our mistakes. But we can correct them later on. Failure isn’t what makes someone bad Zinnia, that’s giving up. And I know, you’re not the kind of person to give up.”

She stayed quiet for a time, sniffling to herself, before wrapping her arms around me and squeezing me tight. “Th-thank you…” she murmured, eyes closed.

“We’re family now Zinnia,” I told her with a soft stroke to the head. “And I’m always there to help my family. Whether they want it or not.”

“...Can you shoot Darkrai in the butt?”

“Sure, and in a heart pattern to give him an adorable tramp stamp,” I told her with a weak chuckle. I smiled as she giggled, finally beginning to cheer up.

“Thanks again, Vash,” she said, pulling away and smiling shyly. “This has been eating at me for a while now.”

“Don’t mention it,” I told her with a warm smile. “Just remember you can summon me any time you want if there’s something else is eating at you.” I turned, holding my arm out to her. “Now come on, let’s go see if the others are awake and we’ll all go for some pancakes.”

“...I’d like pancakes…” she muttered, her smile growing as she shrugged her jacket on and slipped under my arm, wrapping hers around my waist. I frowned a little when I saw the streaky mascara under her eyes.

“But first maybe we should get you a shower,” I said carefully. “Don’t want others to see the streaks, do you?”

She giggled, grabbing a hankie from her bag and wiping at her eyes. “No, I guess not,” she said. “Not sure why I put this on. I don’t normally wear make-up.”

“Who knows,” I said with a shrug. “That’s not important right now. Are you going to be okay?”

“I…” she said, sighing. “I don’t know… If this happens again… If he gets to one of the girls again, and I can’t help them… I don’t know what I’ll do.” She paused, shuddering. “I lost it when I found him with Fluttershy. Melted Luna’s old bedroom into nothing but molten slag.”

“Zinnia, I can’t promise that you’ll never have to experience anything like that ever again,” I told her with a sigh. “But… I can offer you that I will help you in whatever way I can, and I’m not the only one. I’m sure Jason feels the exact same way. We’re here for you Zinnia, whenever, however you need it. Plus, if you learn from your mistakes instead of hiding from them you’ll go far.”

“Thanks Vash… but that’s not all I’m scared about,” ZInnia sighed. “My transformation, the other day… I can’t control it. It happens whenever I get really angry, and I just lose all control. I’m afraid that one day, I’ll change… and I’ll hurt someone.”

“You’re not the only one with a power they can’t control,” I told her as I showed her my armband. “Do you know anything about Trigun?” I asked.

“I was going to start watching it…” she said, chuckling darkly. “But then Ace disappeared. You know what happened after that. So no, I don’t. Why?”

“Well, I’m a lot like you. I look human now, but I’m not. Not entirely anyway. My arm… it can shift, transform into a powerful cannon. One that could take out an entire city. And I don’t know how to control it,” I told her with a dark sigh.

“Oh…” she said simply. “Uh… Couldn’t you just, like… not use it?”

“That’s the point of the armband, but… there are things that could cause it to go off without me wanting it to.”

“Damn…” Zinnia breathed, staring at the arm in question. “Well… If there’s ever a time you actually need to shoot it, feel free to come over. I’m sure Darkrai would just love one of those to the face.”

“It’s a promise,” I told her with a smile.

We rounded the corner into the bedroom, seeing Morning sat on the end of the bed and neither Celestia or Luna anywhere to be seen. “You okay Morning?” Zinnia asked, sitting next to her.

“Hmm, I am fine,” Morning answered. “Where have the two of thee been this early in the morning?

“...talking…” Zinnia muttered, fidgeting with her hands. “Where’d the princesses go?”

“Celestia went to raise the sun and Luna went to go freshen up,” Morning answered as she stretched.

“Ah, okay,” the Draconid said, nodding. “Well, we were going to get some pancakes. You wanna come with?”

“Food sounds wonderful,” Morning said with a smile and a nod. “I am famished this morning.”

“Great!” I cheered with a big grin. “Then let us make haste to the dining room and ransack the castle for all its pancakes!” I finished pointing out of the door before offering both of the girls an arm.

“Yay!” Zinnia cried. “Pancakes!”

“Must thou always act like children?” Morning asked with a small smile, shaking her head.

“Yes,” I chimed.

“It’s fun.” Zinnia added.

Morning chuckled as we made our way towards the dining hall. “Thou art lucky I love thee, Vash.”

“What about me!?” Zinnia asked.

“Thou art growing on me, Zinnia,” Morning said with a wink.

“Yes!”

Jason sighed as he stared up at the morning sky, lost deep in thought. Heimdal was curled up on his lap, snoozing peaceful, letting out a small puff of smoke every so often. He leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes, just listening to the wind as it blew through the forest.

“Jason!?” Zinnia’s voice called out, and the Jotun looked up to find her leaning over a balcony, seemingly scouring the distance. “Jason! Where are you!?”

“Come on out sleepyhead!” I called out next to her. “We’ve got pancakes!”

Jason sighed, standing up, carefully shifting Heimdal. “Will you two keep it down? The kids are still asleep!” he hissed, glaring up at them.

“Sorry!” the two of us called out, much softer than before. Zinnia spread her wings, wrapping an arm around me and flying us down gently.

“We didn’t see you at breakfast,” she said, holding the plate out. “So we brought you these. I can hold Heimdal if you want.”

“I wanted to hold the baby,” I pouted, slumping over.

“You can hold the others if you want,” Jason said quietly, gesturing to a small picnic blanket where the other little ones were cuddled up, sleeping peacefully.

“Yes,” I beamed as I sat down and scooped up the closest baby.

“Sorry I wasn’t at breakfast, I just...” Jason sighed, sitting back down against a tree, “I needed some time to think.”

“What’s up” Zinnia asked, gently rocking Heimdal in her arms. She sat opposite the Jotun, smiling sweetly. “You can talk to us. Hell, we’ve unloaded plenty on each other this morning…”

“Yeah, I told her all about my Angel Arm and everything,” I commented.

Jason let out a long sigh, going quiet for a moment. “I’ve...killed a lot of people you know...several thousand actually...”

“Woah…” Zinnia breathed. “That many? Sweet Arceus…”

“Wow… I can’t even begin to imagine what that must be like.”

“The first person I ever killed was Trenderhoof. He took Dash’s legs and I just...I lost it. I turned him into paste...” Jason went quiet, gently stroking Heimdal’s head.

“Jason…” Zinnia sighed, shuffling closer and leaning her head on his shoulder. She smiled up at him when he turned a questioning gaze to her. “You care about people, and you want to protect them. That’s nothing to be ashamed about.” She giggled lightly. “It’s okay that you feel this way, you know. If you didn’t feel bad, that’s when I’d start to worry about you.”

“Yeah, and I told you when we first met that I didn’t judge you for doing what you do,” I told him, taking a seat next to him as well. “You’re you, and whatever that means, you’re our family. No matter how high your body-count is.”

“Then why does it feel so good when I’m in battle...?” he asked softly, “The rush of blade on blade, that constant fear that you’ll make a mistake, the feeling of satisfaction when you end your opponent’s life...I love it all...”

“You think I don’t get that?” Zinnia chuckled. “Jason, we’re warriors. Right down to our blood, we were born to fight, to test ourselves against the strongest enemies. I get it because I’m a Dragon, one of the most prideful races in all of history. You, however, are freakin’ Norse God level. Everything that springs from their loins is built to fight.”

“It’s just...I ran into this kid, his name’s Lance, I was blasted to his world along with that bitch Eclispe,” Jason spat, his eyes glowing red with hate. “I was going to end it there, I was going to kill her and he points his gun at me. Telling me if I did it I’d be a murderer, a killer. Kid doesn’t know a thing about actual combat.”

“Sparkplug got you to stop?” Zinnia asked, shaking her head sadly. “Poor kid… what’s he gonna do when he goes up against a homicidal maniac like the Joker? Pull a Batman? Throw him in a cell and just wait ‘till they break out?” She sighed, closing her eyes. “I just hope Max can teach him that sometimes, it’s okay to commit the lesser of two evils…”

“The worst part is, while I’m sitting there talking to him, she managed to cast Ultima and leveled the entire city.”

I flinched at the mention of leveling an entire city. “So, this… Eclipse was just okay with taking a city’s worth of lives?” I asked in a low voice.

“Sounds like Darkrai,” Zinnia muttered. “Except he’d enslave them, then destroy their lives. Might kill a couple for fun.” She snarled, her fangs extending slightly. “Might even choose a couple he likes for personal use…”

“Eclipse is Nightmare Moon reborn, through the Omnitrix. She used it to clone my body, and create her own Omnitrix. She rules over Svartalfheim and the dark elves. She recently invaded Vanaheim and almost wiped out the Breezies...” Jason explained, “Don’t worry about them though, Twilight managed to win their lives back from Hel while she was dead.”

“Twilight died?!” Zinnia hissed. “How? Eclipse again?”

“Yeah. She died in battle protecting the last of the Breezies.” Jason smiled a little in pride. “But she’s back now, managed to win back the Breezies, all the soldiers we lost, and her own life from Hel, but...I think Hel may have been going easy on her.”

“Wow, I can’t even begin to articulate my thoughts on this.” I said as I layed down on the blanket. “Do… do you think I’ll have to deal with things like the two of you are going through at some point?”

“Vash...” Jason sighed, looking at me, “You’re a thousand years in the past, most threats to the base Equestrian timeline were sealed away now and break out then. I could even list them for you, right now if you’d like.”

“Would listing them off really help me deal with them? Also, when you said Nightmare Moon,” I started, getting up and looking Jason in the eye. “Who is she?”

Zinnia and Jason shared a quick, unsure glance. Jason sighed, taking in a deep breath.

“Vash I’m sorry… Nightmare Moon is Luna...”

“Though to be fair…” Zinnia chimed. “In my world, she was brainwashed… Not sure how that makes you feel, but…”

“In mine and most others, she gave into her loneliness, her jealousy, and her resentment and became a monster,” Jason held his hand out, and an image came into view. It was a four-legged alicorn, her fur as black as night and her mane and tail like flowing star fields. Her eyes were slitted much like a cat.

She opened her mouth, baring fangs. “Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever!”

“That is Nightmare Moon, Vash, the monster Luna became, hellbent on trapping Equestria in an eternal night. She fought Celestia here and destroyed the castle. With no way to get through to Luna, Celestia had to seal her away on the moon for a thousand years.”

I had to fight the urge to reach out to the image in Jason’s hand, tears welling up in my eyes as everything Chrysalis said in the infirmary came rushing back. “Do you think my being here will do anything to prevent her from becoming that?” I asked.

“Vash...I...”Jason stopped, not finding the right words, “If it doesn’t happen, everything Zinnia and I know about Equestria won’t happen. Twilight Sparkle and her friends won’t become the Elements of Harmony, Discord might not be reformed, the list goes on and on but if you do want to stop it, I won’t stop you.”

“...It’s gonna be like a Doctor Who episode,” Zinnia mumbled, shaking her head. “A fixed point in time that has to happen, no matter how you don’t want it to. Maybe you can postpone it, maybe you can change it a little, but some way, it will happen. I’m sorry, Vash.”

I didn’t know whether to feel angry or sad at that moment, so I just chose both. “That’s it?!” I hissed, tears streaming down my face as I looked at the Draconid. “I’m just supposed to sit back and watch as one of the mares I love is sealed away for a thousand years? And for what? Some timeline that I never asked to be a part of?! Why?! Why would that… Displacer send me to this time? I wasn’t supposed to be anyone special! I was just going to be a face in the crowd and if I got lucky I’d be one of a few dozen engineers that would make a piece of a space shuttle or something!” I vented, hyperventilating.

“Heroes aren’t born Vash, they’re made,” Jason said, looking into my eyes, “You might not have asked for this, none of us did. Hell, not even a year ago, I was just a college slacker, you think I had any idea I had the blood of gods and giants in me?”

“Yeah, but you do have the blood of gods in you. All I have is an arm that’ll kill me if I use it too much that I can’t control.” I replied, not even looking at the two.

“Vash, unlike Zinnia, I don’t believe anything HAS to happen. I don’t believe in fate. I believe we make our own choices of our own free will.” Jason reached out, placing his hand on my shoulder. “If you want to change things, I believe you can.”

“And you know…” the woman said, looking thoughtful. “It’s not always Luna. It could be Celestia, or even someone else entirely. We don’t know.”

“That doesn’t exactly help, Zinnia,” I told her with narrowed eyes.

“I’m just sayin’,” she shrugged, a hand held up defensively. “It could be anyone. Could even be you.”

“And how would it be me?” I asked with a quirked eyebrow. “I’m not all magical and stuff.”

Zinnia just shrugged. “The Nightmare is a parasite that feeds on your negative emotions. It amplifies your abilities and makes you into the most evil version of yourself you can possibly be.” She sighed. “Look, all we’re saying is… be careful. Keep an eye on your girls, Vash. A lot of the things Equestria goes through in the future could have been solved in this time - like the Changelings.”

“Yeah, no pressure there,” I said with a sigh.

“If it makes you feel better my Equestria is already more different that yours. You should have seen when Twilight’s library didn’t explode.” Jason smirked. “That crystal castle is so ugly.”

“I don’t think I’m that far yet,” Zinnia chuckled. “Hel said something about her being a Princess.”

“Yeah. That’s...season 4 I think? Then came that weird unicorn who made a sameness cult. I wasn’t there for that but you should ask Chrissy about it, she went ballistic when she found out Rarity and the girls had their cutie marks stolen.”

“Hold up, season four?” I asked as the gears in my head worked overtime. “Wait a minute… Jason, your mom was apparently a character in that old My Little Pony cartoon. And now… we’re all in worlds filled with talking ponies. We-we’re in a world based off of a cartoon too, aren’t we?” I asked, brain melting.

“Oh, yeah,” Zinnia said with a sigh. “Though it’ll get much darker than the original show. I think. Never watched it myself, that was more Ace’s thing.”

“I actually got the first season on DVD last time I visited Midgard,” Jason said, a large grin on his face.

“I thought Discord was going to be the most confusing thing I’d have to deal with,” I muttered to myself. “Nope, turns out it was multiverse BS and finding out that my life is a cartoon.”

“Well actually Vash...”Jason started, his grin growing, “Our lives are chronicled by people writing fanfictions about said pony cartoon. Why even right now they’re typing away, writing down our thoughts and words.”

“Wait what?” I asked my left eye twitching. “You’re screwing with me, right?”

“No I’m really not, even as we speak our ‘authors’,” he air quoted, “Are typing away. I was pretty messed up as well when Hodge first told me that but they’re just chronicling our lives as the ideas enter their minds, they don’t actually control us or anything.”

“I… I give up,” I said with a sigh. “I am done being surprised by things like this. If you told me that I’m going to become an alicorn princess in the future then I’m just going to shrug it off and say, ‘neat’,” I finished turning my attention to the baby in my arms.

“Vash, you REALLY shouldn’t give Hodge ideas.”

“Don’t care, mind turned to mush over here,” I answered, playing peekaboo with the baby. Little Hakol laughed, clapping his hooves together with a coo.

“You’re pretty good with kids, Vash,” Zinnia giggled. “You had experience or something?”

“Yup, my brother was a few years younger than me so I helped my mom whenever I could. Plus, I watched after a few kids to help pay for expenses while I was in college. Doesn’t hurt that I genuinely love kids. Especially when they’re this cute!” I finished, lifting Hakol up above my head.

The little unicorn squealed, kicking his legs around.

“You know...Hakol actually used to be Luna’s husband.” Jason explained, starting to eat his now cold pancakes.

I narrowed my eyes and gave Hakol a playful grin. “You better not get any ideas about my Luna little guy. Otherwise I’d have to do something like… this.” I said as I tickled Hakol on the stomach. He squealed louder, gently pushing at my hands with his tiny hooves.

Zinnia giggled, smiling happily. “You are so babysitting for me if Whiplash can’t,” she said, grinning at me.

“Can do, I won’t even charge you for it,” I told her with a grin of my own.

“Hakol used to be King Sombra, even had a son with Luna, Grey Ghost,” Jason paused taking another bite of his pancakes, “These are really good...”

“Hold on, did Grey Ghost sound like Adam West?” I asked with a grin.

“I met him and no, he didn’t, he actually sounded like Batman Beyond.”

“Heh, that’s pretty cool. So how did this Sombra end up as this adorable tyke?” I asked as I patted Hakol on the head, careful to avoid his horn.

“Well...Sombra kind of turned into a shadow monster and the Crystal Heart destroyed him. Grey Ghost managed to use his horn to reincarnate him into Hakol.” Hakol cooed, grabbing my hand in his little hooves, starting to chew on my fingers.

“Awww, you’d never become a shadow monster, would you little guy?” I cooed at the little unicorn chewing on my hand.

“You never know,” Zinnia chimed, having laid back with Heimdal on her chest, staring at the sky. “He might have exactly the same abilities as Sombra, but, you know… good.”

Heimdal chittered, nibbling on Zinnia’s hair, drooling on her chest a little.

“Maybe, hopefully all of our guidance will help him turn into an upstanding citizen.”

“Hopefully,” Jason licked his lips pushing his plate away. “Man...those were good.”

“Thanks, Zinnia and I made them ourselves with the help of Morning,” I told him with a smile.

“You two do great wor...” Jason stopped, his eyes wide in horror.

“Uh Jason, what’s wrong?” I asked putting a hand on his shoulder. “You didn’t get food poisoning, did you?”

“Zinnia...I just realized the worst thing ever...”

“What’s up?” she asked, sitting up and frowning worriedly. “Jason, what is it?”

“Your universe is one of Yggdrasil’s realms now right?”

“Yeah…” She frowned, leaning closer. “Jay, what are you getting on about?”

“Eclipse and Darkrai.” he stated simply.

“Oh, I see what you’re getting at,” I said with a nervous gulp. “Hey, how did your Equestria become one of the realms anyway?” I asked Zinnia, an idea forming in my head.

“Uh…” she muttered. “Hel said it was something like Yggdrasil was feeling grabby and just liked mine, so…”

“Do you think we could find a way to get Yggdrasil to grab my Equestria?” I asked.

“That tree mostly does what it wants,” Jason said, shrugging, “I mean we could try but Vash...you do realize if it does, your world would be subject to Ragnarok right?”

“I guess you’ve got a point,” I said with a sigh. “I was just thinking that since you’re able to travel between Yggdrasil’s realms the three of us could act as a warning system to each other if Eclipse or Darkrai did something.”

“Ragnarok isn’t a bad thing Vash, it keeps the realms going, they’ll never end.” Jason picked up Freya, kissing her head gently.

“Did it already happen once?” I asked. “You did say that Odin and the other gods besides Hel were dead.”

“It’s happened more times than anyone can count. It allows Yggdrasil to renew itself and the realms. As long as the cycle remains unbroken, they will always exist.”

“Okay, then let’s just assume that Yggdrasil does take a liking to my universe,” I said looking between the two. “What do you think of the idea?”

“We won’t really have a say in the matter,” Jason shrugged, “It’s a timeless eldritch being of unknowable age and power.”

“I was referring to being a warning system for each other. If we’re all attached to the world tree together we could probably respond quickly if anything happens.”

“That makes sense,” Zinnia said, nodding sagely. “I wonder if we could convince Hel to see if she could… influence it a little.”

“You’ll have to talk to her when you get back,’ Jason nodded, “But Vash... I hope you know what you're getting into here.”

“Nope, I’m winging it here!” I told him with a grin. “It’s worked for me so far and I’m riding this gravy train to the station.”

“It certainly worked last night~” Zinnia cooed, nudging me and wiggling her eyebrows.

“Well, I did have some help there,” I told her with a wink.

“Seriously, my throat still hurts,” she chuckled.

“That’s enough Zinnia, don’t wanna scar the babies after all,” I said as I gave Hakol a little hug. Hakol giggled, returning my hug, nuzzling my side.

“Oh, alright,” she said, smiling as Heimdall stirred, letting out an adorable little yawn.

“Ooh, speaking of babies, what do you think the two newborns will look like?” I asked with a wistful smile.

“I dunno about yours,” the Draconid said with a smirk, straightening out. “But my daughter is going to have her mother’s beauty and her father’s strength. She’ll be the perfect little Amazon.”,

“Well, what are you hoping our kid’ll be like Jason?” I asked, turning to him.

“Normal. No extra heads, no weird skin pigmentation, just a normal kid,” Jason asserted, petting Freya’s head.

“Hmm, I was thinking something like my eyes but your hair,” I said with a chuckle.

“There’s nothing special about my hair Vash.”

“I like it,” I said with a shrug. “Plus, it’s not like I’m a natural blonde anyway.”

“Me too,” Zinnia giggled, reaching out and running her hand through his luscious locks. “So soft…”

“Hey come on!” Jason batted at her hand, a blush forming on his face.

“Don’t be like that Jason,” I told him as I rested a hand on his shoulder. “We’re just paying you a compliment. Isn’t that right Hakol?” I asked, grinning down at the foal. “Tell your daddy how pretty he is.”

Hakol giggled, babbling happily, flailing his limbs around.

“See, Hakol agrees,” I beamed at the Jotun.

Jason huffed, crossing his arms, looking away from us.

“Okay, I’ll stop poking fun,” I said with a chuckle. “What are you hoping as far as personality goes? Do you want the baby to take after you more or what?”

“Doesn’t really matter to me,” Jason said with a shrug, letting Freya chew on one of his fingers, “Just as long as they're not a psychopath...”

“Well, I don’t think there was a family history of mental illness in my family,” I said as I scratched my chin. “Then again, I don’t think my DNA is what it used to be so I doubt the family history thing matters. What about you Zinnia?” I asked looking at the Draconid. “Do you want your daughter to take after mommy?”

Zinnia thought on that for a moment. “Well…” she said, unsure. “Yeah, I’d love to bond with her over things she inherited from me, but at the same time…” She paused, looking down at her hands. “With my transformations…”

“Yeah, I get that. Oh, I asked Jason this when we were ‘hostages’ together, but have you thought of a name for your daughter?” I asked with a hopeful smile.

She was quiet for a minute before a wistful smile crossed her lips. “...Rita.”

“That’s a cool name, does it have some significance to you?”

“Rita… was my grandma’s name,” Zinnia said with a smile, staring up at the sky. “She took me in when my parents kicked me out. She supported me through everything. And sadly, she passed away while I was in the asylum, leaving me with no family that cared.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. She sounds like she was a great person.”

“She was…” The Draconid chuckled, shaking her head. “You know, she would have loved you two. And Umbra.”

“Really, I would’ve loved to meet her then,” I said with a smile. “Our relationships would’ve been a little weird to explain though.”

“You think?” she laughed. “Grandma told me some of her stories. She would go out to the beach and show off her legs, Vash. Her legs!”

“Heh, sounds like you take after Granny,” I chuckled.

“Sounds like a fun woman.” Jason nodded.

“Huh, this has been nice, but I think I need to get started on the Changeling village.” I said, carefully getting up. “Do you two want to help with that? I’d appreciate it.”

“Sure why not, let’s just drop the kids off first,” Jason instructed, carefully picking up the still sleeping Sif.

“Aww, do we have to?” I asked, clutching Hakol to my chest. “Can’t I bring one along to have as a little helper?” I pleaded.

“No,” Zinnia deadpanned. “We’re going to a construction site. No children.”

“Fine,” I relented slumping over. “You make a good point.”

“Good boy,” she tittered. “Now give the kids to me, I’ll take them to Chryssi and Rares then meet you two at the site.”

I reluctantly gave Hakol to Zinnia and watched as she walked away with the rest of the babies. “Alright, let’s get this started. Can’t avoid my job forever after all. Jason, would you kindly teleport us to the site?”

“A man chooses, a slave obeys,” he commented, giving me a stern look. “Yeah come on.” he placed his hand on my shoulder, teleporting us away. We reappeared a few seconds later in the middle of the construction site. After I shook off the nausea I looked around and saw that nothing had been started yet.

“Okay Jason, can you go see what needs to be organized while I go check on the plans and make sure they’re up to snuff?”

“Right, tight,” he said with a nod,

I nodded back to him and found the tent where one of the supervisors was working. I asked to see their plans and I looked them over with a frown. They were going to make actual thatched-roof cottages. Plus, I didn’t like the proposed layout. I sat down with the supervisors and together we came up with a better plan. With our plans redone I walked out to catch up with Jason. I found him while he was about to lift a heavy load.

“Hey Jason, sorry I took so long. I had to give the team a stern talking to. They were going to make thatched-roof cottages, can you believe that?”

“Heh...burnination...” he smirked, shaking his head.

“Well Trogdor won’t come in the night on my watch,” I replied with a chuckle. “I’m making this as modern of a village as I can.”

“Hey guys!” Zinnia called suddenly, landing behind us. “Sorry that took so long, Heimdal just didn’t want me to leave!” She paused, chuckling as she looked around. “So… what’s the plan?”

“Well, if you have any skill with carpentry or any other construction then you could come help me. If not, then you can just do the legwork with Jason here,” I commented giving Jason a pat on the shoulder.

“Eh,” she shrugged. “I’m more of a demolition girl. You need anything clearin’, I’ll have it out of there.” She paused, grinning slightly. “Ten seconds flat.”

“I’m sure we’ll need to cut down a few trees to get a line to the nearby river,” I told her with a nod. “Just make sure you’re careful, we don’t want to disturb the environment too much.”

“Okay, no problem,” she said with a nod. “Which is the nearest edge to the river, I’ll clear a path. I’ll even dig a trench if you want.”

“Uhh, go check with one of the other supervisors. I’m sure they’ll have a map for you. As for the trench… that might actually come in handy for burying the pipes and things like that,” I thought aloud. She paused, looking around. “And if there’s a quarry nearby, I can melt the stone down to line the bottom and re-harden it, like a proper waterway. Keep it all clean.”

“I can handle the melting,” Jason commented, conjuring up a fireball in his hand.

“And I can handle the pipework and the various other tasks that come with construction,” I said with a chuckle.

“A perfect team, if ever there was one!” Zinnia laughed.

“Yup, now let’s get this village built as quickly as we can!” I said with a big grin. We then nodded and went about the tasks that we chose and began to build the changeling village. Zinnia quickly and carefully cleared some trees away while I began to mark spots for buildings and pipes to be buried. After that I started to assist with some of the foundation work. I made sure that everything was as close to the plans as I possibly could. At one point I decided to look over to see how Zinnia and Jason were doing.

Zinnia had just finished with cutting through the last tree, lifting it effortlessly and dropping it onto a pile with the rest of them. She quickly turned back to the stump left behind, bracing herself against it as a white sheen overtook her body and she ripped it out of the ground. She straightened out, wiping the sweat from her brow.She waved when she saw me, a contagious smile on her face. I smiled and waved in return and walked over to her.

“Good job, Zinnia.”

"Thanks dude," she said, breathing heavily. "Is it just me or is it hot out here today?"

“Yeah it is a little warm. Then again, I always wear a heavy duster so I’m probably not the best one to ask. How about I get you some water and you take a rest?” I asked.

"Thanks Vash…" she replied, turning to the river. "I think I'll have a seat over here…" she added, walking over almost drunkenly and kicking her shoes off. I blushed slightly when she dropped her jeans, kicking those off too and climbing into the water in just her underwear.

“Be careful in there,” I told her as I turned to get the water. “We don’t know what all lives in there. There might even be a river monster,” I told her with a chuckle.

“Nng…” she groaned, leaning back against the riverbank. “That would be welcomed…”

“Zinnia, are you okay?” I asked turning back to her.

“I…” she breathed, eyes lidded. “I’m fine… just… really hot…”

“Well, you’ve always been hot,” I said with a chuckle.

“No… I mean, like…” She paused, squirming. “Burning… between my legs…”

“... Zinnia I think you might be going through heat,” I told her blankly.

“That…” She paused, groaning loudly. “Yeah… That’d do it…”

“Maybe you should ask one of the mares if they have any advice for dealing with heat,” I suggested. “I’ve only gone through one heat so I’m not exactly an expert.” She just nodded, slowly sinking further into the water with her eyes closed.

“I-I’ll ask Whiplash…” she said, now neck-deep in the gently flowing waters. “When I get back… I’ll… Yeah…”

“Okay, you take as long as you need in there. You’ve done good work by the way,” I said as I turned to go get her some water to drink before getting back to work. Hours passed and evening fell on the construction site. I flopped down to the ground as I finished one last task. “Uggh, somebody kill me. I can’t feel my arms,” I groaned.

“Vash…” Zinnia panted, crawling out of the river. “Can… Can I borrow a few maids tonight? And a couple guards? And maybe the blacksmith?”

“Uhh do you mean me when you say the blacksmith or my friend Hammerfall?” I asked, looking over to her.

“...Both…”

“And are you asking to borrow us for the reason I think you are?”

“Yeah…”

“I’ll ask Hammer if he’d be willing but I think he might be a little too old fashioned for random sexual acts. And I think that a lot of the maids are recovering after their encounter with Writher last night.” I explained as I walked over to her.

“Writher…” she mumbled, eyes glossing over. “...Oh yeah…”

“Actually, I could just ask Starswirl to cast a spell on you that will suppress your symptoms for a while,” I said, offering her a hand up as I remembered that factoid.

Zinnia attempted to stand, her legs shaking, and seconds later she collapsed onto me. “Y-yeah… even I can’t handle this…”

“Okay, let’s get Jason to teleport us back to the castle. I don’t think you can fly in this condition,” I told her as I led her carefully through the site. “Jason! we need you to teleport us out of here!” I called out.

Jason was busy munching on an apple, watching the construction unfold before him. I walked over to him with a trembling Zinnia in tow. “Jason, I’m glad I found you,” I told him with a weak grin.

“Hm?” he looked up, a bit of apple juice running down his face.

“Zinnia’s having a bit of an issue so we need you to teleport us to the castle,” I explained.

“Not until I finish my apple.”

“Jason, can’t you just teleport us and finish your apple in the castle?” I asked, trying not to get annoyed.

“Nope.” he said, taking a loud, obnoxious bite of said apple.

“Is there any particular reason for this, or are you screwing with us for the fun of it?” I deadpanned.

He shrugged, closing his eyes, chewing rather slowly.

“Damn it Jay, I’m in heat and unless you want me to use you to relieve it I suggest you teleport us now!” Zinnia growled.

“Sounds good to me!” he smirked, tossing the apple over his shoulder..

“So you’ll teleport us?”I asked with a hopeful smile.

“Sure why not?” he asked with a shrug. “I was worried I wasn’t going to uh...have some fun like this...”

I blinked a few times at that admission. “Jason, are your hormones acting up due to the pregnancy?” I asked, carefully so I’d avoid getting him angry.

“Probably. I honestly have no idea.” he shrugs. “Honestly, I don’t really know all that much about jotun.”

“Actually, speaking of fun… you did have some with me when we were drunk. Are you… attracted to both sexes, or was that the alcohol?”

“Vash, I’m a shapeshifter, I have done some weird ass shit in bed. Doing it as the opposite gender does not bother me in the least.”

“So that’s a yes,” I said with a nod. “I only asked because I hate being presumptuous about other people. That’s gotten me in trouble in the past.”

“I bet it has.”

“Well, now that that’s out of the way, maybe we should teleport to the castle now?” I asked with a weak chuckle.

“P-please…” Zinnia moaned, blushing furiously. “Hurry…”

Jason smirked, pulling Zinnia into a deep kiss. He put his hand on my arm, teleporting us away. When we reappeared a few moments later I was slackjawed at what had just happened.

‘I did not see that one coming.’

Zinnia moaned hungrily into the kiss, her arms flying around Jason’s neck and pulling him closer.

‘I saw that one coming though. Now, should I leave, or stay and see if anything interesting happens to me,’ I thought, my brow furrowed deeply. ‘Screw it, I’ll just stay right here.’

I watched as Zinnia pushed Jason back against a wall, pressing her entire body against his, her hands grabbing at his clothes and pulling at them almost desperately.

“I know, I want it too...” Jason muttered, slipping the dress over his head, standing there in just a pair of panties.

‘I’m starting to think they’ve forgotten I’m even here,’ I mused to myself. ‘Either that or they don’t care. Either way, I’m not really complaining.’

“Mnah… Jason…” the Draconid moaned, tearing their underwear away without a care. “I need you…”

The rest is basically clop. Don’t read unless you want to read some. You won’t miss much plot.

“Well then...” Jason shivered, pulling her into another deep kiss. She moaned loudly, leaning in and reaching up to knead his breasts roughly, their tongues wrestling for dominance. After a while, she pulled away, breathing heavily as she stared into Jason’s eyes before dropping to her knees, lifting his leg and diving in.

I pulled out my phone again and discreetly took a picture, ‘I was wrong, this is going to be my new wallpaper.’

Jason moaned throatily as Zinnia helped herself to his slit, grabbing the back of her head and pushing her further in. Jason grabbed her head, pushing her even closer. He turned to me, winking with a sly grin.

I blushed a bit, not knowing how to react to that. ‘I guess that answers my earlier question.’

“Well?” he asked, holding in a moan.

“Oh, uh, what would you like me to do?” I asked.

Zinnia leaned back, breathing heavily with a clear coat of Jason’s juices on her chin. “Take that magnificent cock of yours out,” she breathed. “And fuck us!”

That got my and a certain body part’s attention and I started throwing clothes off as fast as I could. Less than a minute later, I was standing completely in the buff, already starting to stiffen.

Jason purred at the sight, smirking as he rested his hand on Zinnia’s head. “He’s mine,” she said, glaring lightly down at the Draconid. “Any objections to that?”

Zinnia blushed, eyes wide as she looked up at him. “N-no…” she stammered, pressing her legs together. “...M-Master…”

‘Okay, that’s seriously hot,’ I thought with a dopey smile.

“I’m yours huh?” I asked with a quick laugh. “What all does that entail?”

“You,” Jason said, pointing at me. “Are going to put that,” he pointed at my shaft. “In me.”

“Fair enough, any position you’d prefer, or are you just gonna keep standing up?”

“Surprise me.”

“As you wish,” I said as I pressed up against Jason and kissed her as I pushed her against the closest wall. I then reached and lightly kneaded a breast while my other hand gripped an asscheek. The thought that Jason was originally male only went through my mind for an instant as I felt the womanly curves beneath me. I then started to move my hips slightly, dragging my shaft along the outer lips between Jason’s legs. I continued this motion for a while, coating my length in Jason’s juices. Then, I bent my knees a bit, lining myself up with the entrance, and pressed inside slowly.

Jason moaned pleasantly, arching his back as I slid inside. Something rubbed up on my leg after a minute, and I looked down to see Zinnia, on all fours, looking up at us pathetically. I quirked an eyebrow at her behavior as I continued to slowly press forward.

“Zinnia, what are you doing?” I asked.

She whimpered slightly before answering. “M-Master claimed you… b-but I’m so wet…”

“Well, what do you want us to do about it?” I asked, fighting off a devious smirk. “And be specific, we can’t help otherwise.”

“P-please…” the Draconid whimpered. “I-I just… I-I need to be f-fucked…”

“Zinnia, what did I tell you about being specific,” I told her with a cross look. “Now, how do you want us to fuck you. And if you aren’t specific you’ll be punished.”

Zinnia’s blush spread to her ears and she averted her eyes for a second before answering. “I-I want to be used as your cocksleeve, while Master uses my face as a seat. I-I want to be used completely, abused, I want to be your toy, your property.”

I reached down and patted Zinnia on the head with my right arm. “Very good, that wasn’t so hard, was it?” I said with a grin. “Now, what do you think we should do, Jay?”

“I suppose we could give her what she wants,” Jason mused with an off putting grin. “Now, get into the proper position.” Jason ordered, pointing at the floor.

Zinnia nodded, quickly spinning around and raising her ass into the air, pressing her face to the floor. “Please enjoy my body, Masters.”

“That’s not the proper position,” Jason reprimanded with a sharp slap on Zinnia’s ass, making her yelp. “You said you wanted me to sit on your face. How am I supposed to do that when you’re like this?”

“I-I’m sorry Master!” the Draconid cried desperately, quickly flipping onto her back. “Please forgive me!”

“I might,” Jason mused walking over to her. “If you do a good job.” And then, Jason flopped down onto her face with very little grace. He cried out seconds later as Zinnia dug in greedily, lapping at his folds.

I watched them for a few moments before deciding to do anything. I got down on my knees in front of Zinnia, lining up my length with her folds, and pressed as much of myself into her as I could with one rough thrust, making her cry out and Jason to moan in bliss. I took that as my cue to continue and withdrew my member until only the tip was left inside, and stayed like that for a moment or so. Then, I pressed inside with more force than before and buried myself to the hilt.

Zinnia writhed about on the floor, reaching up and gripping Jason’s hips tightly, pushing her face into his folds more vigorously and making him pant with pleasure. I watched as she shifted, her fingers dancing down his skin until they reached the little nub of sensitive nerves that was his clit, pinching and twisting it slightly. This caused Jason to stifle a moan, trying to keep up the dominant air. I decided to reward Zinnia a bit. I picked up the pace of my thrusts and used my right hand to toy with her clit, just like she was doing to Jason. She arched her back, crying out as her walls clamped down on me, mashing her thumb into Jason’s clit. The Jotun’s eyes widened as his own orgasm crashed down, soaking Zinnia’s face with his juices. The sight of the two in the throes of ecstasy was enough to send me over the edge, letting out a sharp cry as I filled Zinnia’s waiting tunnel.

Jason panted, sliding back off of Zinnia’s face. The Draconid panted happily, staring up at the ceiling with her tongue lolling out of her mouth. I let out a small sigh of relief as I sat on the floor.

“Whew, that was nice.” I then took a look at the still recovering Draconid. “But I don’t think you’re done yet, pet. Don’t you think you should clean me off?” I joked with a shake of my hips. Zinnia glanced to me with a lidded gaze before nodding, shifting on to her knees before crawling over. She pressed her face into my shaft, licking off every drop of cum left over.

“Good girl,” I told her with a stroke to her head. “Feeling better?”

She looked up at me with clouded eyes full of lust, whining pathetically. “Yes Master,” she whimpered. “Thank you Master.”

“Master? Vash, what hast thou done!?” I heard a familiar voice cry. I turned around and saw a shocked looking Morning, Luna and Celestia staring at us. I looked back at Zinnia between my legs and my three marefriends and let out a nervous chuckle.

“Uhh, I can explain.”

“Mistress Morning, Mistress Celestia, Mistress Luna!” Zinnia cried suddenly, smiling up at them. “Have you come to pleasure yourselves with my body too?”

“Vash, what has brought this on?” Celestia asked. “Zinnia seems more brazen than usual.”

“Long story short,” I started. “Zinnia’s in heat, and Jason’s hormones are starting to pick up.”

“Yes,” Zinnia nodded, turning and presenting herself to the mares. “So please Mistresses, use my body as you see fit.”

“Vash, why is Zinnia calling us mistress and thou master?” Morning asked as she crossed her arms over her chest. “Is this one of thy schemes?”

“No, I just think her heat is causing a bit of a submissive streak.”

“I can stop if you want,” the Draconid breathed, standing up. Her face suddenly hardened before she growled out “I could use a new pet.”

I let out a nervous chuckle at that and stood up. “I don’t think they were complaining, Zinnia. They were just curious.”

Just as soon as it had come, Zinnia’s edge faded, and she dropped to her knees again. “M-my apologies Master.”

“Just make sure you don’t do it again,” I told her with a slight edge in my voice.

“Vash, may we have a word with thee,” Morning said as she wrapped her tail around my neck and leading me around a corner with Luna and Celestia close behind. When we were out of earshot Morning let me go and shot me a stern look. “Vash, dearest, why art thou allowing Zinnia to prostrate herself like this?”

“Well, I’d rather deal with sub Zinnia rather than dom Zinnia. This way, she can work out the symptoms of her first heat with minimal amounts of damage to the castle.”

“This is Zinnia’s first heat?” Luna asked in shock. “No wonder her behavior is so erratic.”

“Yeah, so I know it might not be the nicest idea, but I figured keeping her like this until her heat dies down might be the best way to keep her from doing something crazy.”

“Verily, we agree with thee, Vash,” Celestia said with a nod. “Now, perhaps we should go check on her. If there is one thing one must not do, it is to keep a lady waiting while they are in heat. Though, thou already knows that,” she finished with a snicker as she kissed my cheek and walked back to where we left Zinnia. We all followed after her and sure enough, Zinnia was right where we left her. Though, she did seem to be fidgeting a bit.

“M-Master… M-MIstresses…” the Draconid stammered, looking up to us pathetically. “A-Am I in trouble?”

“No, of course not,” I told her as I stroked her head. “What would give you that idea? You’ve been nothing but a good pet, haven’t you?”

“I-I try, Master,” she mumbled, smiling slightly. “Thank you.” She paused, seeming to think something over, before stammering out “M-Master, Mistresses... c-could I… ask you to do something?”

“I suppose,” I told her as if I were mulling it over. “A good pet does deserve a treat.” Her face seemed to light up at this. “But if I find it to be out of line, then you might get punished.”

She nodded quickly, eyes wide. “O-of course, Master.” She paused, taking a second before continuing. “...I want to stay here through my heat and be your plaything. You can do whatever you want to me - punish me, reward me, fuck me mercilessly or deny me release - but I want to stay.”

“Is that all?” I asked with a chuckle. “Of course you can stay through your heat.”

“Thank you Master!” she cried, jumping up and glomping me. I never complained, not with my face in her valley. “I’ll try to be a good pet, I promise!”

I pulled myself out of her cleavage with a wicked grin on my face. “I know you will, but you seem to have forgotten something,” I told her cryptically. She looked at me confused for a second before her eyes widened and she pulled away, dropping to her knees once more. “You didn’t say, ‘Please Master,’ when you made your request.”

“I’m sorry, Master!” she cried, bowing low. “I was a bad pet, please punish me however you see fit!”

“No,” I told her with a chuckle, “since you seem so eager to set things right, I’ll let you pick the punishment. Be grateful, next time you make a mistake, I won’t be as lenient.”

She was quiet for a minute, not daring to move or lift her gaze, before she mumbled something inaudible.

“What was that?” I asked, leaning down so I was directly above her. “Speak up or I’ll give you another punishment.”

“Spank me!” she barked out suddenly. “Spank my whore ass until it’s bright red and I can’t sit down for a month! Take turns doing it, and do it as hard as you like!”

“That’s better, I much prefer to hear what my pet wants. How else am I going to be a good owner?” I told her as I ran a hand down her cheek. “Now, would you prefer I start with my right arm, or my metal left arm?” I asked her.

“M-Master’s choice…” she muttered in response, though it was loud enough for me to hear this time. “J-just… make sure you do it hard... please, Master?”

“Very well, left it is. Now, get in the proper position. And if you take your punishment well, you’ll get a treat.”

“Apologies, Master…” Zinnia said, looking up to me with wide, apologetic eyes. “But would the right position not be… across your knees?” She flinched back as soon as she’d said that, as though expecting a beating. “N-not that I’m telling you what to do, Master, I-I’m just trying to be helpful!”

“You have nothing to apologize for,” I told her with another stroke to her head. “You came up with a very good suggestion. And besides, I told you the punishment was your choice, didn’t I?”

“Y-Yes Master,” she stammered in response. “Of course Master. Sh-shall I fetch a chair for you, o-or would you prefer to move into another room?”

“I suppose we should take this to another room,” I mused. “No sense in the entire castle seeing your punishment.”

Zinnia bowed again before climbing to all fours, glancing up at me. “Would Master like my collar and leash?”

“I’ll take the collar,” I told her. “But you can leave the leash. I expect to have a pet that’s well behaved enough not to need one, understood?” I asked with narrowed eyes.

She nodded frantically before reaching into the bag still fastened around her waist, pulling out a leather collar coloured a deep purple, black studs lining its surface and a tag in the shape of a sharp, curved tooth. Smiling sheepishly, she held it out to me. “A-a Master always collars his pets himself…” I took the collar, gently reached around her neck and secured the clasp.

“There you go. Who’s the prettiest pet in the castle?” I asked like one would address their dog.

“Me?” the Draconid asked hopefully, one hand raised like an animal.

“Of course it’s you,” I told her with a pat the head. “Now, let’s start your punishment so you can get your treat.” She nodded happily, following on her hands and knees as I lead the way into one of the many guest bedrooms in the castle, Celestia, Luna and Morning right behind her.

I took a seat on the couch in the back of the room and motioned for Zinnia to lie across my lap. Nodding obediently, she did just that, her stomach on my knees as her breasts hung over the edge.

“Please Master…” she breathed. “Be rough…”

“Of course,” I chuckled as I brought up my left hand and swatted her directly on one of her upraised cheeks. She gasped, eyes wide, before smiling slightly and going limp.

“Please Master, again!” she cried, panting heavily. “I’ve been a bad pet, please punish me!”

“Don’t tell me what I already know!” I boomed as I swatted her other cheek with my right hand. She cried out again, panting heavily as her tongue lolled out of her mouth and she drolled openly onto the carpet. I proceeded to alternate hands for a few minutes, Zinnia crying out each time.

“Harder Master,” the Draconid begged. “Please, o-or I may not learn my lesson!”

“You’re right,” I growled lustfully as I swatted her harder, an audible crack resounding around the room. “The last thing we want is for you to act up again. Isn’t that right?” I asked, as I gave her another hard swat. “You do want to be a good pet, don’t you?”

“Yes Master, I’ll be good! Just please don’t stop!”

“And who’s pet are you?!” I boomed, picking up the pace of my spanks.

“Y-Yours! I-I belong to Vash the Sta~ampede and his marefriends!”

“And what will you do as a good pet?!”

“A-Anything you command, Master! A-absolutely anythi~ing and everything I-I’m told!” With that I gave her one final spank with my right hand, and started to rub at the redder part of her cheek.

“I think you’ve learned your lesson, wouldn’t you agree?” I told her, still tenderly rubbing her.

“Y-yes Master…” Zinnia panted. “Th-thank you for my punishment…”

“I only do it because I care,” I told her giving her rump a gentle squeeze. “Now, are you ready for your treat?”

She nodded eagerly before answering. “Y-yes please Master.”

“Okay, and since you were so good, I’ll let you pick what you want.”

Going quiet again, Zinnia slowly climbed off of my lap, kneeling before me with her eyes down. “...Can I be Mistress Celestia’s personal show pet for the day?” she asked hesitantly. “O-or Mistress Luna’s tonight. I-I’d like to show the subjects who o-owns me. Besides you of course, Master.”

“And what does being a show pet entail?” I asked with a stern look.

“I-I’d be by their side the whole time… dressed how they choose… and would d-do whatever they commanded to whoever they commanded. M-most commonly with a leash…”

“I’m not entirely opposed to the idea, but you do realize what time period you’re in, don’t you?”

“Wh-which is why I said they could dress me how they like.” Smiling slightly, she turned to the princesses. “A-and would it not be better to introduce more… casual lifestyles for your subjects? S-so you can be more open with your… relationships… without fear of ridicule?”

“And I appreciate that idea, but the best way to do that most likely isn’t you on a leash by their throne. It’s better to introduce these things slowly and allow ponies to be more comfortable with sex.”

“Y-yes Master…” she sighed, almost dejectedly. “Then… Master can choose my treat, as that was my only idea.”

“I’m sorry, maybe the next time you come here we’ll be able to show off what a good pet you are, but for now… hmm, are you sure you can’t think of something else you want?” I asked, placing a hand on her shoulder.

“No, Master,” Zinnia sighed. “I-I want to be shown off, Master. B-but if I-I can’t… you can decide my treat, or lack of.”

“Well, how about to make up for not being able to show you off, I be a good owner and pamper my pet?”

She seemed to brighten up at that, smiling shyly up at me. “That sounds wonderful, Master. Thank you.”

“And what do you think pampering you will entail?” I asked with a chuckle, seeing if her thoughts lined up with mine.

“I-I don’t know, Master…” she trailed off, though her gaze slowly turned to the three mares behind us before snapping back to me. “I-I would be grateful for a-anything you give to me.”

I caught where her gaze went and a smirk wormed its way onto my face, “Oh, and if I decided to call the three mistresses over and have the four of us give every piece of your body special attention, that would just make you grateful?”

“Oh, yes Master!” she cried out, smiling brightly. “I would love that so much!”

“Glad to hear it,” I told her, patting her on the head. “Now, who would you like to start on what body part?” I asked her, whispering the last part into her ear.

“...MIstress Luna…” she whimpered, squirming slightly. “...W-with my… b-breasts…”

“Very good,” I told her with a final pat. I then looked up at the three mares and had to hold back some laughter. Celestia and Luna’s wings were sticking straight out and Morning’s tail was thumping on the floor erratically. “Oh Luna dear,” I started with a sweet, honey soaked voice as I got behind Zinnia. “Give our pet a treat, and start here,” I said as I grabbed Zinnia’s breasts roughly. Luna nodded, a slight blush forming on her cheeks and knelt down in front of Zinnia, replacing my hands with her own.

“Mmh…” Zinnia moaned, arching her back slightly. “Mistress… yes…” Luna’s slight reluctance seemed to melt away and she slowly kneaded Zinnia’s breasts.

“Oh, come on Luna,” I said with a chuckle. “You can do better than that.” She nodded and leaned her head in and wrapped her lips around one of her nipples, while one of her hands started toying with the other. Zinnia moaned louder, pushing her chest into Luna’s face as her tongue lolled out.

“That’s perfect. Now, who do you want to pamper you next, pet, and where?”

“M-Mistress… Celestia…” she panted, looking to me with clouded eyes. “I-I want... between m-my legs…”

“You heard her Celestia,” I told her with a wicked grin. “Get to work on our pet.”

“Yes Master,” Celestia responded with a bow as she slowly made her way over to Zinnia. She lied down on her stomach directly between Zinnia’s legs. “As you command,” She finished, letting out a puff of air right onto Zinnia’s clit before wrapping her lips around it.

“Gah!” the Draconid gasped, eyes wide. “Yes, yes!” Turning to me, she smiled dopily and said. “M-Mistress Morning, I-I want to… k-kiss her.”

“Very well, Morning, would you be willing to kiss our dirty little pet here?” I asked.

“I...I suppose there would be no harm in that.” Morning said as she slithered up to Zinnia and placed her arms around her shoulders. Zinnia leaned forward, pressing her lips to Morning’s in such a tender, passionate way that for a second I thought it wasn’t even her anymore. All I did for a moment was watch - until I felt Zinnia shaking her ass against me.

“Oh, what do you want from me my little pet?” I asked her with a knowing smile.

Breaking her kiss with Morning, she looked back to me and whined before answering. “M-Master… fuck me in the ass… please…”

“Anything for my little pet,” I told her with a fond smile. “But first, you have to get it ready. I’d hate to hurt my favorite pet.”

Nodding silently, Zinnia placed her hands on Celestia and Luna’s heads and pushed them away slowly, whining when Luna let her nipple go with a loud *pop* before turning around, grasping my shaft tightly. She glanced up to me as her tongue hung out of her mouth, drooling on the head for a moment while she slathered it along my length with her hand.

“A-another thing, Master…” she said, averting her gaze. “C-could you… dress me up? Maybe tie me up too? Please?”

“Of course,” I told her as I petted her. “How do you want to be dressed and tied up? Do you want your wrists and ankles tied around the posts of the bed, or simply tied around your back?”

Without answering, the Draconid reached into her bag once again, pulling out one item of clothing after another until she had what seemed to be a torn and shredded set of Nightingale armour from Skyrim, the chestpiece ripped open and any crotch or ass cover gone.

“I want to be a captured warrior, forced to do your bidding,” she said, fully serious. She then pulled out what looked to be a sturdy metal hook, flying up and drilling it into the ceiling with her strength alone. “And I want to be hung from this.”

“That can be arranged,” I told her with a nod. “Do you want your master’s help putting on your outfit?”

Touching down, she once again became meek, subservient. “Y-yes Master… I-I would like your help…” She paused, thinking something over for a second before reaching into her bag again. “But there is also… this.” she said, holding out a long, metallic bar with ankle cuffs on either end.

“Seems you have a bit of everything in that bag,” I pointed out with a chuckle. “Well, I’m ready to begin whenever you are.”

Nodding, she stood straight with her arms held out. “P-please Master… feel free to dress me…”

“Hmmph, of course,” I snorted as I picked up the chest piece and quickly put it on, followed quickly by the rest of it. Then, I roughly grabbed her hands and tied them above her head with a length of rope she provided from her bag, hanging her from the hook.

She took to her new role immediately, her soft, happy smile hardening into a scowl of indignation. “Let me go you bastard!” she barked, struggling against her bonds. “I’ll gut you for this!”

“You’re certainly making a case for me keeping you tied like this,” I told her with a dark chuckle. “It seems that you’re all brawn and beauty with no brains.”

“Fuck you!” she growled, pulling at the ropes even harder. “And fuck your little whores too!” I responded with a slap across her face.

“Now that was uncalled for,” I told her, getting into her face. “These fine ladies have done nothing to you. And besides, you say whore as if it’s a bad thing,” I finished with a malicious grin as I reached for the metal bar.

Her eyes widened when she saw that, her entire body freezing. “W-what are you going to do with that?” she asked, trembling slightly. “Please tell me that’s for one of your whores.”

My malicious grin grew at that. “Why yes, yes it is,” I chuckled as I opened one of the cuffs and put it around her ankle.

“Hey, w-wait a minute!” she stammered, eyes widening further. “Y-you said it was f-for your who-” She froze again, mouth agape in realisation.

“Yes, I intend to keep you. A strong and lovely warrior such as yourself is something I simply can’t resist,” I laughed as I put the other cuff on and looked her in the eye with a grin.

“You sick bastard…” she growled, glaring at me. “Is that what you do, huh!? Kidnap women and keep them until their minds are broken!?” Her gaze shot to the others. “Who were they before you got to them, huh!? Do you even know!?”

I let out a long laugh at that before answering. “Of course I know what they were before this, but it doesn’t matter anymore. They were lost before coming to me. I freed them, allowed them to become what they were always meant to be. And I know what you were before coming to me,” I told her as I grasped her cheeks with a hand.

Her glare intensified as she spat at me, catching me just below the eye. “Like you could know anything.”

“Oh?” I asked bemused as I gently wiped away the spit. “So I wouldn’t know anything about what the nobles and their guards did to your family? What drove you to join the Thieves Guild and dedicate yourself to Nocturnal? No, I suppose I don’t know anything.”

She gaped at me after that, eyes wide. “H-how…”

“My little Nightingale, you didn’t think you were the only one to have made a deal with a daedra, did you?”

She whimpered at that, trembling again. “Nocturnal give me strength…”

“She holds no sway here in my domain,” I told her with a laugh. “But don’t worry, I will set you free like the others soon. Then you will hurt no more,” I said as I got behind her.

“P-please…” Zinnia whimpered, watching me as her eyes watered. “No… D-don’t…”

“Shh, do not worry, you’ll be free soon,” I whispered as I lined myself up with her ass using one hand. Very carefully, I pressed inside meeting very little resistance. I let out a small moan and chuckled a bit. “Oh, what is this? You say no, but your body is welcoming me like an honored guest.”

“Sa-shut up…” the Draconid stammered, obviously trying to hold back a moan. Looking to the others, she growled out, “What are you doing just standing there, help me!”

“Master is already helping you,” Celestia said sweetly.

“She’s right,” I said, halting my progress to caress the exposed parts of her body that her broken armor could no longer protect. “Be honest with yourself, let go and be free.”

“Nnah…” she moaned in response, turning away. “D-don’t touch me... not there…”

“Oh, and why don’t you want me to touch you there?” I asked, my hand hovering right above it.

She was quiet for a moment before choking on a sob, forcing out, “...I-I’m scared…”

“And why are you scared, be honest.”

Biting her lip, she looked away for a moment before answering. “I-I… I don’t…”

“Come now, answer me. I want to do away with all your worries.”

“I-I’m scared because…” She paused, sobbing quietly. “I-I don’t want to say no… b-but I know I should…”

“And by what standard do you know that you should say no?” I asked her, my hand descending on the spot that made her gasp before. “Society’s? The same society that rewarded those scum of the earth nobles that hurt you?”

“...yes…” she muttered, scowling. “I-I can’t stop… I have to make them pay.”

“And I can help with that,” I told her, picking up the pace of my caresses. “I only want the best for you. But to do that, you need to reject that awful system, the one that caused you and countless others so much pain.”

“Y-yes… so much pain…” she moaned, pushing back slightly. “...o-okay…”

“Hmm, what are you agreeing to?” I asked, stopping all my ministrations. “I want to hear you say it.”

“I-I want your… help…” She paused, turning to me with pleading eyes. “Please… set me free…”

“Of course,” I told her as I picked up where I left off and started thrusting into her. Zinnia moaned out, no longer holding back as she leaned into me, pushing down against my actions. I moaned with her, speeding up my thrusts slightly. “Yes, isn’t this so much better than what those corrupt pigs out there told you?”

“Y-yes… Master…” the Draconid moaned, eyes closed in bliss. “S-so much better… thank you…”

“There is no need to thank me, this was within you from the beginning. I simply let it out,” I whispered into her ear as I used the hand that I had braced on her shoulder to tweak her exposed nipple. She cried out at that, her walls clenching down slightly as she turned her clouded gaze to the others.

“M-Master…” she stammered, biting her lip as another moan escaped her throat before continuing. “W-what about them?”

“This is your rebirth, they are here to witness it. Once you are fully free, all of us will celebrate.”

She nodded, crying out as I pinched her nipple again. “B-but… I think they m-might... help free me, Master,” she whimpered. “P-please… let them take their place…”

“Oh, and how would they help free you?” I asked with a smile. “Tell us all your deepest desires.”

“Mmnah~” She shuddered as milk began to leak from her breast, coating my fingers. “P-please, Master… I-I… I like w-women too…” She winced slightly, as though remembering something. “I-I was told to hide it, b-but…”

“Shh,” I stopped her, “whoever told you that was simply wrong. A rotten specimen of this rotting world. Now, what would you like my ladies to do with you?”

“Please… I-I want to f-feed one…” she stammered, managing to shake her breasts slightly. “M-maybe two… a-and my… my pussy… it’s so wet…”

“Of course I understand,” I told her with one final pinch. “Ladies, this poor woman needs our help, won’t you please provide it?” The three of them nodded and each set about their tasks. Celestia and Luna each took a breast while Morning drove her forked tongue deep into Zinnia’s slit.

“Ah!” Zinnia cried out almost immediately, throwing her head back as thrashed about. “Yes, free me! Oh, it’s so good!” I grinned like a madman and started to pound into Zinnia’s ass.

“Yes, isn’t this so much better than what those fools out there told you? Why would you ever hide who you are?!” I boomed.

“Yes Master!” Zinnia replied,tongue lolling out of her mouth. “I’ll never hide my true self again, I promise!”

“Good,” I started, feeling myself edge closer to finishing. “Then accept your freedom!” I roared.

Zinnia screamed as I filled her ass, her body seizing up. I heard Celestia and Luna moan in delight, leaning around to see them drinking Zinnia’s milk eagerly as it flowed down their chins. I panted for a few moments, recovering and remaining inside her.

“How do you feel now, my new whore?” I asked with a chuckle.

“...More…” Zinnia moaned, panting heavily. “Please, more…”

“Of course, do you want to be unchained, or would you prefer to stay like this?”

“...leave me here…” she sighed happily. “I-I want more cum in me…”

“As you wish, would you like it in another hole, or would you like this to get another filling?” I asked as I patted her ass fondly.

She was silent for a moment before answering. “B-both, Master… please…” she moaned, shifting her hips slightly. “I-in my bag… the toy…”

I nodded and reached inside her bag, hoping that I would pull out the right thing. Luckily, I managed to get it on the first try and held it up to her face. Without hesitation, she opened her mouth wide and began sucking on the toy, pulling it from my grip before shooting me a look.

“Who do you want to use the toy? And in what hole?” I asked, hand outstretched to catch the toy. Spitting it into my hand, she grinned back at me.

“Morning Star,” she growled lustfully. “In both. All while you fuck the other two.”

“Hmm, I suppose that could be arranged, what do you think, Morning?” I asked as I slipped out of Zinnia and handed Morning the toy.

“I suppose I could go along with this,” Morning said with a blush as she inserted the toy. She frowned, however, when nothing happened.

“Master, I-I have to… turn it on,” Zinnia muttered. “B-but I don’t want to be untied…”

“Would you have to be untied to turn it on?” I asked with a light glare.

“N-no… I-I can use my… my mouth.”

“Then do it,” I said with a smirk as I removed the toy from Morning. “And make a show of it.”

“No Master… I-I’m sorry, but… i-it has to be in her…”

“Then put it in using your mouth,” I told her bluntly. “Morning can stretch out on her coils to reach your mouth.”

Nodding, Zinnia took the toy into her mouth again, moaning slightly at the taste before looking down to Morning Star. Morning took a deep breath and started to reach up on her coils, stretching out until her pelvis was level with Zinnia’s head, bracing herself on the support that Zinnia was hanging from. The draconid smiled as much as she could up at her before leaning forward, slowly pushing the end of the toy into Morning’s folds and continuing forward until her lips met her scales. A purple glow spilled from the gaps before Zinnia cried out in alarm, thrashing about in a panic.

“P-pull her back, Vash!” Morning cried. “For heaven’s sake, pull her back!” I did as Morning asked in a hurry and in a matter of seconds I heard Zinnia sputtering and wheezing as Morning’s new twin members were pulled from her mouth.

“What the hell were you thinking, Zinnia?!” I growled at her.

“I-I’m sorry, Master…” she wheezed. “Th-there’s normally a… a delay… I-I thought I would have enough time to move back before…”

“Alright, I’m just glad you’re okay,” I said with a sigh of relief.

“I-I’m sorry, Master…”

“Nothing to apologize for, just be more careful next time.” I told her as I let her go.

“Of course… Th-thank you, Master…” She squirmed a little, the bar rattling slightly as she tried to press her legs together. “A-apologies, Master, b-but… c-can we g-get on with it, please?”

“Alright,” I sighed before chuckling a bit. “If Morning’s still up for it, I won’t stop you two.” I said as I walked over to Celestia and Luna.

Nodding, Zinnia looked into Morning’s eyes, whining with need. “P-Please, Mistress…” she moaned, leaning forward to give Morning’s flared horsecock tip a lick. “F-fuck me…”

Morning shuddered a bit and tried and failed to stifle a blush. “I...I suppose that I could do that. Which hole wouldst thou like me to put my larger member in?”

“Pussy.” Zinnia stated with a determined smirk. “And don’t hold back. Fuck me hard.”

Morning nodded and let go of the support and slowly lowered herself back down. Then, she wrapped her tail around Zinnia and pressed both of her shafts against Zinnia’s holes. With a simple squeeze of her coils they were both pressed inside with little to no resistance.

“Ah!” Zinnia screamed, shuddering with delight. “Yes, fuck me Mistress! Ravage my body! I’m your Cocksleeve, Mistress, use me like one!”

“Wouldst thou not speak like that?” Morning asked, blushing a deep red as she continued thrusting. “It is most embarrassing.”

Zinnia grinned, leaning forward until her mouth was right beside Morning’s ear. “I bet you love it, really,” she breathed, moving her hips against her thrusts. “You’re a dominatrix at heart, Morning. Embrace it, and use me.”

“I..I am not like that,” Morning stammered. “T’is most unbecoming.”

“Not behind closed doors~” the Draconid tittered before stifling a moan. Grinning, she clenched down on Morning’s members, drawing a moan from the naga-mare.

“Perhaps thou can get into it, but it is... not something that interests me.” Morning said as she averted her gaze from Zinnia.

“Alright then…” Zinnia cooed, before she growled out “Then I’ll take control then. Fuck me harder!”

That seemed to irk Morning, but she bit her lip to avoid making a comment. In the end she just decided to grit her teeth and speed up the clenching of her coils. Zinnia cried out in bliss, going limp in Morning’s grip as she allowed herself to be filled completely.

“Well, thou art in control,” Morning growled between thrusts. “What else dost thou want?”

Smirking down at her, Zinnia leaned in and sealed Morning’s lips with her own, pulling back moments later. “How’s that for what I want?” she asked cheekily before diving back in, shoving her tongue past the mare’s lips. Morning rolled with this action, wrapping her prehensile tongue around the woman’s. Zinnia moaned happily at that, clamping down on the mare’s shafts again.

She pulled back after a while, gasping for breath. “That tongue…” she breathed, a throaty moan cutting her off before she continued. “I-is fucking amazing...”

Morning smirked at that. “Thou art not the only one who has voiced that sentiment.”

“I can imagine…” Zinnia said, smirking right back. “Now shut up and fill me, okay!?” With that, she lunged right back in, kissing Morning with all her might as her walls milked her for all she had. Morning moaned loudly into the kiss and fired off a few shots into Zinnia’s clenching walls, her coils tightening around Zinnia’s body on reflex.

Zinnia cried out, bucking her hips wildly as Morning filled her, her own climax wracking her body, her walls clamping down and sealing the mare’s seed inside of her. Morning pulled her mouth away from Zinnia’s, a small string of saliva connecting the two while she relaxed the grip of her coils. She stayed like that for a few moments, panting and trying to recover from her little tryst.

“...take my bar off, Morning…” Zinnia panted. “...And take me down… I think I’m done… for now…” Morning nodded and did as Zinnia asked and in less than a minute Zinnia was untied and touching the ground.

“Are you feeling better?” I asked her carefully. “Is your heat still bothering you?”

“A little…” she replied, staggering on her feet. “B-but it’s not… as noticeable now. Like a dull throbbing.”

“Glad to hear that, you got a little crazy there for a second,” I said with a chuckle.

Zinnia nodded, starting to pull the tattered armour off. “Sorry about that,” she muttered as the last piece fell to the floor. “I didn’t mean to cause trouble…”

“Are you kidding?” I asked with a bit too much laughter. “What you did was nothing compared to what these three did during Estrus. I’m still having arousing nightmares from that.”

Zinnia giggled as she began to place the outfit back into her back, pulling out a pair of sweatpants and a loose-fitting tee shirt. “Wish I could’ve been around for that,” she tittered. “Sounds like fun.”

“I think that would be the last thing I need,” I said with a shudder. “I can only imagine what you’d encourage them to do to me with that magic toy of yours.”

“Heh, I guess so,” the Draconid chuckled. “Still though, next cycle, feel free to call me. I might bring a few friends, too.”

“I don’t see why not,” I told her as I stretched and popped a few joints. “Though I hope you don’t just visit to use me for my body, or my acting talent.”

A chorus of “Shut up, Vash!” greeted my ears,

“What? What did I say?” I asked, playing dumb.

“Ah, leave’im,” Zinnia laughed, shaking her head. “...I don’t suppose I could share your bed while I’m here.”

I laughed a little before replying with, “Of course, a good pet sleeps at the foot of the bed.”

Just like that, Zinnia dropped to her knees again, pulling her shirt down enough for her collar to show. “Of course, Master. I shall sleep wherever you command.”

“Uhh, Zinnia, that was a joke. We don’t have to do the whole master pet thing anymore,” I said as I scratched my cheek.

“Vash,” Morning said as she fixed me a glare. “Perhaps thou should save thy jokes until after Zinnia’s heat is over.”

“...Am I not Master’s pet, then?” Zinnia asked, looking between us.

“Uhh, not when we’re not about to, or in the middle of sex,” I explained, trying to avoid, crazy dominatrix Zinnia from emerging. “When we’re like this it’s best if we just keep our normal dynamic going.”

“Okay, I can do that,” she nodded, standing up again. She readjusted her shirt, blushing slightly. “Though… I’d like to keep the collar on, if that’s okay.”

“Heh, alright, whatever makes you happy,” I said with a shrug. “It does look really good on you.”

Zinnia’s blush intensified, her face quickly turning bright red as she turned away with a huff. “...thanks…”

‘Dammit, I want to call her cute here, but that’ll piss her off,” I thought with a grimace. ‘Guess I’ll just keep it to myself.

“Anyway, we’d better hit the hay if I’m going to be able to do any work tomorrow,” I said aloud, rubbing the back of my head.

“Yeah,” Zinnia nodded, smiling sheepishly. “I’ll help you if I can, Vash, but… you know…”

“If your heat is acting up tomorrow then you can take the day off,” I told her with a smile.

“Thanks… but didn’t you say there was some kind of spell or something that could, I dunno, dull it down?”

“Duh,” I said slapping myself on the forehead. “Starswirl does have a spell for that. Sorry, slipped my mind considering everything that just happened.”

“No problem,” she chuckled, walking to the door. She paused as she passed me, leaning in and whispering “And I’ll deal with our little… agreement tonight. No more bloomers for Vash.”

I had to stop myself from tearing up at that and nodded as I followed after her. As soon as we stepped out the door, however, we turned to see Jason still laying on the floor, snoring away.

“Oh…” Zinnia muttered, eyes wide. “We, uh… We forgot Jason.”

“Yeah, guess we did.” I said rubbing the back of my head. “Should we… do something about this, or just walk away and pretend we didn’t see anything?”

Zinnia stared at him for a minute before sighing, leaning down and lifting him into her arms. “We should at least take him to his room,” she said. “Chryssi and Rares would kill us if we just left him there.

“Good point,” I replied. “I don’t think they’d believe us if we claimed plausible deniability.”

Zinnia just nodded, beginning to walk down the hall again. As we rounded the corner, however, Chrysalis came into view. As soon as she laid eyes on us, Jason in particular, she just sighed, using her magic to lift him onto her back before turning around and leaving.

“...That was easy,” Zinnia muttered.

“I’m guessing that’s not the weirdest thing she’s found Jason doing,” I offered.

“Ten bags of Stardust says he was masturbating as one of his aliens.”

“Twenty big nuggets says that it was Four Arms,” I told her with a smirk.

“Oh, what I wouldn’t give to see that…”

“I could do without that sight,” I replied.

Chuckling, she just shook her head, starting to walk off again. “Oh well, c’mon. Sooner we get those three asleep, sooner I can do you that favour.”

“Don’t have to tell me twice!” I called, picking up the pace.

I woke that night with a groan, pushing myself to a sitting position and looking around the room. Celestia and Luna were cuddled up to me with Morning holding us all in her coils, like most nights.

What was strange, however, was that Zinnia had disappeared. My eyes widened and I gently extracted myself from my marefriends’ grip. When I did, I noticed some wisps of smoke trailing from the window. I poked my head out of the window to see if I could spot her.

There, in the middle of the courtyard, was a massive pile of clothes which I assumed to be Celestia, Luna and Morning’s underwear. Zinnia stood at the side of the pile, pacing up and down in what seemed to be nothing but a pair of panties, as small flames burned at a few areas of the pile. She looked up to the window and spotted me, waving excitedly before turning back to the pile and breathing a continuous stream of flames. When she stopped, all that was left was a pile of ash.

I stumbled back when she flew up to the window, climbing through. “Hey Vash,” she whispered, grinning. “You like the show?”

“I always was a fan of pyrotechnics,” I whispered back.

“You’ll be a bigger fan of me in a minute,” she tittered quietly. “Go check the drawers, I think you’ll like what you find.” I did as she asked and pulled out a pink thong and a black, see through bra.

“Ooh, you’re right, I do like this.”

“And that’s just the beginning…” the Draconid whispered in my air, hugging me from behind. “I’ve left thongs, g-strings, panties, bras, pasties, bikinis, and all manner of sexy lingerie.”

“It’s like Christmas came early,” I said with a sniffle.

“You think you could do me a favour in return for all of this?” she asked mysteriously, resting her head on my shoulder. “It’s nothing big, I promise.”

“What did I tell you this morning?” I whispered back with a chuckle. “You’re family, whatever you need, name it.”

“...Can I breastfeed you until I fall asleep?”

“Did you even need to ask?” I asked as I whipped around to face her. I chuckled when I saw that her face was bright red.

“Th-thanks, Vash…” she murmured, taking my hands and slowly pulling me towards the bed. “I-I kinda wanna be in there,” She nodded to the pile of mares. “When we do this, if that’s okay.”

“What did I just tell you?” I asked, chuckling again. “Anything you want.”

She smiled gratefully at me before pulling away, climbing carefully into the entanglement of mare limbs before beckoning me over. I followed her as carefully as I could and knelt over her, my head right above her chest. She smiled again, placing a hand gently on the back of my head and guiding me to her left breast, letting me latch onto her nipple and suckle gently, her milk flowing almost instantly.

“Wha…?” I heard, eyes going wide as Luna stirred. She pushed herself up, staring at us both for a minute before smiling good-naturedly, shaking her head. “Thou art almost too predictable,” she chuckled quietly. “May I?”

“Sure,” Zinnia shrugged, opening her arm to the lunar princess, her moved in slowly and latched onto her right nipple, moaning slightly at the taste of her milk. The two of us matched our suckling and continued for a long while until the sound of gentle snores interrupted us. The two of us pulled away and shared a smile before settling back down on the bed, Zinnia’s arms around us both.
