The Beating of my Heart.
Chapter 44: Bonus Chapter. My Pet Dungeon #5
Previous Chapter Next ChapterElegant Notes took heavy breaths as she looked up at the abomination standing before her. She has been wailing on the thing for a while now and it just won't go down! Taking in a deep breath she gripped the hilt of her sword harder with her teeth and charged forward. Careful to avoid the grotesquely long tongue sticking out of its mouth she leaped up and swung her weapon striking it in the face, making it fall onto its back. Huffing and puffing Elegant Notes just stood there glaring at the thing as if daring it to get back up again.
"And that's a critical hit. With an unholy wail the monster slumps to the ground dead. The villagers saved." I say down to the tiny pony.
"Finally. Now you promised more answers after the boss." Elegant stated.
"Fine, ask away." I reply.
"Right, have you met a banshee before?" She asked.
"Rarity? Yes I've met her. Haven't you been paying attention? Next question."
"Er, that's not... alright then. There are rumors that the great Canterlot muffin calamity was your doing. Did you have anything to do with the flood?" She asked with a raised brow.
"I wanted to test the limits of my muffin button." I say with a shrug.
"Right... Do you think you'll give birth to kids of your own one day?" She continued. I just blink a few times and look down at my lower body.
"I don't really have the hips for it nor the interest in guys. I did get a book on fertility magic which would allow me to reincarnate a soul into my own offspring but why go through that when I can just make them undead? Besides I'm more of a granny figure. I take the pleasure of spoiling them rotten then letting their parents deal with the consequences. With the exception of the kids that have actually lived under my roof. Those I make sure are raised right." I say with a smile.
"What was your first time in heat like?" She asked and I must admit I'm surprised.
"That's a strangely dirty question." I reply.
"The readers want to know." She said with a shrug. I just sigh and begin to talk.
This part of the chapter has been censored by the FCC.
"The raw force of that last move created what is now known as Ghastly Gorge and in fact that's also how it really got its name. All two-hundred and fifty-two of my partners were unable to move on there own power for months. The male population took advantage of this and managed to push for male equal rights." I finished. Looking down I see the tiny pony passed out with a nose bleed. After giving her a nice wake up dunk in a glass of ice water we were back on topic.
"Right, there is no way I can write that in the papers so... How did your first encounter with Discord go?" She asked.
"Well..."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"The end is nigh!"
"Won't somepony please think of the children!"
"The red hots are coming the red hots are coming!" I sigh as a put my toys down in my castle siege play set and look out my window just in time to see ponies being chased by giant hot candies wearing red coats.
"Oh dear... a moral dilemma. On the one paw ponies are suffering. On the other... I want to play in it." I say to no one. Boom! My attention is drawn to a noise and my dilemma is forgotten when I see Luna's plot sticking out of the ground in the middle of a small crater. Above that is Celestia attacking Discord who was trying to play a game of whack a pony with my girl using a giant mallet. "My babies!" I cry out in both the royal Canterlot voice but my anger and magic distort it to give it a demonic sound. Jumping out the window I catch myself with a telekinesis spell and clumsily hover over to them. Fortunately my outburst stopped the fighting long enough for me to get there.
"Celestia take Luna and run." I tell her.
"But he-"
"Take your sister and go help your ponies now!" I shout. There was a pause before Celestia grabbed her sister's rear in her magic and pulled her out of the ground like a carrot.
"Aunty will you read me a bedtime story? I like the one about the golems in disguise." Luna said in a daze. "Autorocks! Roll out!" She cried as she was flown away. Assured that my girls were on their way to safety I turn to face Discord as he studies me with some interest. So there I faced him one on one just his power against mine......... I did not think this through at all! Okay Rin, it's okay. Just do what you always do when nobles try to trap you with some loophole in some law. Bullshit your way out. Charging up my magic a create illusionary clones of me holding automatic rifles as well as an illusion weapon for me. All of us forming a ring around Discord and pointing our weapons at him. With a look of disappointment Discord raised his talon to snap his fingers so I had to act quickly.
"Do not attempt to move or we will be shooting ourselves!" I shout out. It worked. Lowering his talon he looked around at how I had my fakes set up. After realizing the joke he rolled onto his back and laughed. "You are charged with making all this fun stuff to play with but ruining it by being a jerk to the ponies and bullying my little ones!"
"Oh? So you enjoy my chaos?" Discord asked me.
"I would enjoy it a lot more if you would stop being a bully about it." I replied.
"Oh please, those ponies wouldn't know fun even if it came in an ice cream flavor and bit them on the butt." Discord said with an eye roll as he summoned an ice cream monster with waffle cone teeth that started to fly after a random pony to prove his point. I reflexively I used the Turncoat spell on the thing. "What did you just-" Discord started to say before his own creation flew up and sank its teeth into Discord's backside. "Gahhhhhhhh!" He cried out in pain.
"See what I mean? It stops being fun when it causes pain." I reprimand as he magics his own creation away.
"You!" Oh %#$! "...I don't want to play with you anymore." He said in a huff before wrapping me up like a mummy with tape. Oh no. "But before I go let me take you for a quick spin." At his words he pulled on the end of the tape hard and with one long tearing sound and a loud scream of pain from me I fall to the ground completely naked. Not one single hair was left on my bare, pale skin and I squeak in embarrassment as I tried to cover up. "But seeing as you like chaos I wouldn't mind hanging out with you later. See ya around fuzzy wuzzy!" He called out as he flew off laughing.
Red faced I look around before I spot a cotton candy cloud and use my magic to pull it down. Tearing off a piece I step into it with my hind legs and pull it up like a pair of underwear. 'Squish' I shudder at the cold, wet, sticky feeling of my impromptu tighty whities before rushing home to see if the girls are there using the castle as a shelter again. Not that it would work with this guy.
"That's it... What? Expected some big epic battle?" I asked in amusement.
"Well... yes?" She admitted.
"Right, now what shall we play next?" I ask as I look around.
"Aren't you tired of playing with me? I should be getting boring by now right?" Elegant Notes asked in concern and I take a thinking pose.
"You know, you're right." I say making her sigh in relief. "Let's get another playmate to make it more fun!" I say as I pick her up and grow her to a safer but small size. Before she could say anything else I create a portal and we move through. Once out Elegant Notes looked around and paled.
"No.... No no no no no no!" She cried out when she saw the children in the daycare that I have built into my castle so my employees can have a free place to drop off the rugrats while they work. Her panic only grew when she realized that even the youngest of the children were bigger than her. "Noooooooooooooo!"
