Natasha
Natasha POV

The desert wind wiped around as the wind threw the sand around. I stopped when I heard a howl in the wind. Damn, I hate the Desert of Lost Souls. I pushed forward as it was the only way to find what I was hunting. But for a Fable to cross the Desert of Lost Souls was a death wish. Many creatures lived in the desert that surrounded the city of Fabalis. But out here in this desert were the clues about the history of the Fables and our relationship with the Young family. But even though there might be clues, no Fabled dared crossed this desert as the Desert of Lost Souls consumed all of this planet. It was a way to make sure no darkness would make it to the city of Fables. But I don't get that luxury as this was my job. My name is Natasha. I'm a model and archaeologist.

You see I study the history of my species and how Young family is related to us. It would be a much easier if I could find where Farsa was. But alas the location of the library was still unknown. I sighed as I kept marching through the sand of the desert. How much further could this stupid tomb be? I took one more step, and suddenly I heard something break. Oh shit. I fell from the desert into a tomb. Luckily it wasn't a far drop. But it was a drop that still hurt. I slowly got up from the stone floor and looked around. Dark, good thing I don't have to worry about that.

I removed the clothing I was using to keep the sand out of my fur. I placed it on the floor, and soon my spirit flames came to life. The light of my flames illuminated my gray coat. It also showed off my black belly. It also showed the black strip going down my back. I only had one tail with my blue flame above it with a white center. Above my ears are also the same blue flames with the white center. My eyes were a soft blue color. I pulled out my satchel and threw over me. I looked around and saw a hallway behind me. I guess that's the only way I can go. I started to head towards the only path I could find.

My blue flames lit the way for me. But the walls were bare of anything. I wonder where I am. I continued to walk through the hallway until I came out in a big room. It was a large square room with one symbol all over the wall. A large box with chains over it. Pandora's Box. I knew of Pandora's Box through my research into our species past. Pandora was a skeleton that was created by our species in retaliation to Faba, the first Young. Those Fables didn't believe that a human should be leading them. But nowadays, Fables fear Pandora and his return, especially since many Fables who go to Earth can't seem to find the current Young.

I walked around looking at the wall carvings. They were all the same. Strange, I wonder what this room could tell me about the history of our world. I walked up to the middle of the chamber and saw that something was supposed to be in the midst of the room. I looked around and found that something on the floor was poking up. I pressed it down and felt the ground shake, and soon two large semi circles appeared out of the ground and came together. They glowed white when they came together.

"What the?" I asked

I looked at the markings on the side. I knew what they were, but I couldn't place my paw on it. I opened my satchel and pulled out my journal and flipped through it. As I was, I heard a noise creep through the sound waves. My ears moved back and forth to look for the source, but I could find out where it originated. I turned myself around to look around, but nothing was there. I hope none of those things found that hole and fell into it. The Desert of Lost Souls had many different creatures that were lethal to Fables. We Fables didn't have a defense against such creatures since we weren't created to be fighters. Now if we are trained to fight, we can fight. But I was just a model and archaeologist, so I didn't have a fighting chance.

I turned myself back to my work as I looked to find the symbols. Soon I landed on them. I knew I saw those symbols before. The symbols were symbols used by the first Fables.

"Now if I'm translating this right, it seems this portal is for quick travel to something. But the last symbol is destroyed. I wonder where it could lead," I said

I placed my journal away and looked at the gate. I walked forward and saw the another symbol. This one was of the box. No doubt in my mind this portal was used by the Fables that brought about the creation of Pandora. I pressed my paw on the box, and the gate glowed before a weak yellow light filled the portal. I swallowed my fear and took a running jump into the portal. When I came out, I came to sliding stop. I turned to watch the gate disappear into the ground. Looks like I'm going to have to find a way out from here. Wherever here is? I began to walk forward as that was the only way I could go. I found myself in front of a small door, big enough to fit a Fable. I pushed it open and found myself in a large chamber.

I looked around and saw what we Fables feared most of all, Pandora. It was a large rock sculpture of Pandora. The rock was even colored black. Damn even to think our species created such a dark creature as Pandora. Even though I knew the rock skeleton was just a sculpture, I kept my defense up. I walked around and looked at all the wall carvings. Depictions of the Fables who created Pandora filled the walls. Each side had the same images and that all landed on the sculpture of Pandora. I shivered as I saw how they did it. I decided to record it to understand the creation of Pandora further.

I pulled out my journal and flipped to a fresh page. The first picture was of Fables that disliked Faba and the humans. Then it moved to those Fables building the area around me. Next was them sacrificing of Fables and using their bones to create their master. The last panel was of them taking their lives to give life to Pandora and finally Pandora was born.

"Sick and twisted," I commented

I placed my journal away as I looked around. The chamber had many doors, but I wasn't sure if any of them would lead me out of here. Damn, now how do I get out. I stopped looking when I heard a sound coming from behind me. Since I was facing the sculpture of Pandora, I knew it wasn't that. I turned to the sound and watched as the wall in front of me opened. I backed up as I saw it open. Soon it finished opening I saw nothing but darkness. I felt a dark presence fill the air around me. I need to get out of here before something bad happens to me. I kept backing up and soon heard something coming down the chamber and to my horror they were spiders. Hundreds of spiders and might I add these spiders were as large as a dog from earth.

"Why did it have to be spiders?!" I asked

I turned around and started to book it to the nearest door. That was the one right under the Pandora sculpture. I opened it and ran for my life as I heard the sounds of their legs coming down the hall. I turned to see them filling the room. Their fangs out, dripping with venom. Their eight eyes were targeting me. Let's move little faster legs. I prefer not to be spider's lunch. I got down on all fours to run faster. We Fables may walk on two legs, but we also can run on all fours. I guess it comes from the fact our designs came from the animals of Earth.

I kept running for my life, but then I started to hear a voice talk to me.

"Take the next right."

I did as the voice said, but the spiders followed close behind.

"Left."

I turned to the left as fast as I could, but I still wasn't out running these spiders. Oh please whoever you are, get me out alive. I kept running and saw a dead end coming up. NO!

"Keep running. Safety lies at the end of this hall."

Well, I don't have anything to lose. Either I crash into a brick wall and die or die by a spider's venom. I think I'll take the wall. I ran even faster than I ever had. I was already out of breath as I never ran this fast in my life. But hearing the spiders growing closer to killing me kept my legs moving. Soon I saw a blue portal open up. Huh.

"Jump into the portal."

Well, it's better than being spider chow. I used every ounce of energy I had left in me and jumped for it. I started to faze through the portal as I felt a spider's leg try to grab me. But I got in before the spider got me. Then I popped out in a forest and watched as the portal closed behind me. Thank Faba. I fell to the ground exhausted as I tried to gain my breath. Every muscle in my paws pounded at me as I laid there. I felt my exhaustion start to take me. Before I disappeared into an unconscious state, I saw a pair of yellow hooves come near me. I didn't say a thing as darkness took me.

Xavier POV

Barb moved her scaled hands across my chest. Our mouths were locked in a heated kiss. Our tongues battled for dominance, but Barb won it without a problem. I will say having a forked tongue exploring my mouth was something else. My hands' studied her bare chest, but she was still wearing her bra. It was strange to stroke her scaly body. It was different than pony fur. I moved my back where her spines came out and ran my hands across them. It brought out sweet moans from Barb.

We pulled off our heated kiss as her tongue went over and began to lick my ear. I moaned as her fork tongue moved around my ear.

"Barb that's pure bliss," I said

"So you like." She said

"Oh yes I do," I said

Well if you're wondering how this all started, well I'll tell you. You see the day was beginning off as it normally did. I woke to my alarm clock going off. I clicked it off and then got Moon ready for school. After that, Twilight came down and said she had to hit the market, so she took Moon to school. Flame said he was going back to sleep and went back up to his room. But not before asking not to be disturbed. Well, I opened the library and took care of things with Barb. Well, she whispered that she wanted a make out session with me, so here we are. I closed the library came up here and started to heated make out with Barb. But we couldn't go on full sexual since the library had to be still open and Flame never liked to follow Twilight's rules how to run the library. So Twilight banned him from ever working at the library.

"Barb, you know we should stop and open the library again," I said

"What it's already been fifteen minutes. Man time flies when you're making out." Said Barb

"Yeah," I said

I got up and threw on my shirt and Barb did the same. But I turned to her. Her bra hit me square in the face. I pulled off the green bra as she adjusted her spikes.

"Mind explaining to me why you just hit me with your bra," I said

"Well, I can't hit you with my panties." Said Barb

It took my mind a second to realize what she meant by that.

"So you want your turn now, huh," I said

"That right, so tonight you're coming over to my room and fucking this female dragoness silly." Said Barb

"Can hardly wait," I said

We kissed again as I threw her bra to the floor. I opened the door and looked to Moon's room.

"Barb, I'm going to check on Flame. Can you get the library running without me?" I said

"Been doing it way before you came here, Xavier." Said Barb

She walked down the stairs as I opened Moon's door. Flame slept with her because Moon wanted him to stay with her when I moved into Twilight's room. He had a bed on the floor when he wasn't sleeping with Moon in her bed. I walked in, and stench hit my nose. A stench I was familiar with before and after I mated with Applejack and Twilight. I walked over to Flame, and I knew I was right on the smell.

Tissues covered the ground and magazines of female Fable cats covered the ground, especially the supermodel Natasha, Flame's dream wife. He was out cold as he drooled on his bed. I got down, and his semen covered some of the pages. I shook him awake as I didn't want my daughter to see any of this. Now I understand why he also asked to be left alone. My shaking finally woke him up as he blinked his eyes open.

"Xavier, what are you doing in here?" He asked

"Checking on you. I can see why you wanted Barb and me not to disturb you," I said

He moved his body up and stretched out his body as he closed up the magazines and slipped them into his belt.

"Well, brother, you have females you can happily go to to get pleasure. For a bachelor Fable like me, masturbation is the only way to get pleasure." Said Flame

"Well, I am happy I came and checked on you. Moon is too young to get the birds and bees talk. Now get yourself cleaned up and clean up your mess," I said

"Ok." He said

I got up and left the room and shook my head. Well he does have a point. He doesn't have a sexual outlet like I do. I just sighed as I went down the stairs as Barb sat on the couch.

"How was Flame?" Asked Barb

"Usual," I said

"Glad to know, but I do wish Twilight would let him run the library. It would have let our make out session to be longer." Said Barb

"Well, all you have to do is wait until tonight, and you'll get more than a heated make out session," I said

"Just thinking about it makes me wet with anticipation." Said Barb

Well, the day was slow as not many ponies came into the library. Nothing exciting happens much in Ponyville and Pandora followers were right now quiet. It made me edgy to think that the followers of Pandora weren't attacking. It forced me to think what they were planning, but in reality, I only knew of two followers that were free. Stray Wolf, who lived in the Everfree Forest and Slugger, who was dead. But I did fear that more of Pandora's followers were out there, but hadn't shown themselves just yet. Soon Flame came down the stairs with his bed in tow. He went straight towards the laundry room with it.

"Why is he taking his bed to the laundry room?" Asked Barb

I whispered in her ear the reason why. When I pulled away, she scrunched her face together and stuck out her tongue.

"I hope he doesn't expect Twilight or me to wash that." Said Barb

"No, Flame can get it. He learned to do the laundry because of his alone time," I said

"Glad to know." Said Barb

Then we were about to settle back into just waiting for ponies to come to the library when Fluttershy came into the room. She seemed worried about something, so I got up and went over to her.

"Fluttershy, what's wrong?" I asked

"I need your help, Xavier." She said

"With what?" I asked

"With her." Said Fluttershy

She opened her arms to show a cat, but not any normal cat, a Fable cat. But the second I looked over the Fable, I realized it was Natasha the supermodel and archaeologist Flame wanted for his wife. I saw her blue spirit fire still burning which showed she was still alive. I sighed at that.

"Everything ok, Xavier." Said Fluttershy

"Yeah, she isn't dead because her spirit flames are still burning. As long as those burn bright the Fable is still alive," I said

"Good to hear. I found this Fable cat in the forest when I was feeding my animal friends. I don't know how to take care of Fables since I haven't spent enough time with Flame." Said Fluttershy

"Well from the look of her, she just seems to be unconscious. She has dirt covering all of her paws, so she was running from something. I think she just tired herself out and fell unconscious from lack of energy. Set her down on the couch, and I'll get some water," I said

"Ok." Said Fluttershy

I went into the kitchen and started to fill a cup full of water. I came back to Fluttershy as she had set Natasha down on the couch. Fluttershy also took off her satchel and placed it on the ground. I handed Fluttershy the water, and she was able to get some down into Natasha. Flame then came out, and I could see his eyes grew even larger as he ran up and stopped as he looked at her.

"I can't believe it. It's Natasha!" Said Flame

"Who?" Asked Barb

"Natasha, she's a world famous Fable cat." Said Flame

"How so?" Asked Fluttershy

"Natasha is a supermodel and archaeologist. Her fashion line is the highest grossing in all of Fabalis and she been trying to discover more about the past of the Fables since our species lost Farsa." Said Flame

"So she's a Fable that is both a model and archaeologist. I'll say that's a strange combo of jobs." Said Barb

"Well, she was first a model, but then she went into the field of archaeology from something coming to her in a dream. But how did she get here?" Said Flame

"Well, will ask Natasha when she wakes up," I said

We all stopped our conversations when we heard noises coming from Natasha. We all looked down as she started to stir. Soon Natasha's eyes opened to the world, and she looked around at us all.

"What, where am I?" She asked

"You're safe, Natasha," I said

"How do you know my name?" She asked

"That would because I'm Xavier Young, the Fabled Warrior. The Fable cat is my brother, Flame. The dragoness is named Barb, and the yellow Pegasus is named Fluttershy. I welcome you to Equestria," I said

"Equestria, wait you said you're a Young." Said Natasha

"Yes I am," I said

"Glad to know you aren't dead." Said Natasha

"What do you mean by that?" I asked

"Fables have been talking about that none of them can find you on Earth. So Fables started to get worried that you might be dead. I guess you're still kicking." Said Natasha

"Hi, Natasha, I'm one of your biggest fans. I've read all your findings." Said Flame

"Thanks, it is also nice to see another Fable. Now tell me are there any more of our race here." Said Natasha

"Sadly no, you and I are the only Fables in all of Eques." Said Flame

"Wait then how are you here?" Asked Natasha

"I came with Xavier since we are brothers." Said Flame

"Natasha, can you mind telling us what transpired to bring you here," I said

"Sure, I was working on a tip that there was a tomb in the Desert of Lost Souls." Said Natasha

"Desert of Lost Souls." Said Barb

"A desert that covers our planet. The desert is to keep Fabalis safe from those who would wish to harm the city. The desert has many dangerous creatures that kill anything that enters the Desert of Lost Souls. It's not a desert you just to go walking around. You need to know how to travel it, and I'm able to do that." Said Natasha

"Natasha, what was this tip leading you to?" I asked

"Farsa." Said Natasha

"Yeah, her last breakthrough was getting a location to Farsa, but I guess you already figured that one out, brother." Said Flame

"What does that mean?" Asked Natasha

"Well, you see after a while of being here on Equestria I met Crystal Heart, mother of the Crystal Shard Dragons. Then one night Crystal took me to Farsa. You see when Faba left with the Crystal Shard Dragons, he stored the library of Fabalis inside a Dream Realm that I only can enter," I said

"Well, that solves that mystery. But yes my tip was telling me that in the Desert of Lost Souls was a tomb that would lead me closer to Farsa. I traveled the desert but fell into another tomb. The desert sands hide many ancient tombs. So I moved through the tomb and found a portal that took me to the chamber that might have been the place that the Fables who created Pandora used. But then these spiders appeared out of a wall, and I ran for it. As I ran for it, I heard a voice call out to me and then I saw a portal at the end of a hall. I jumped into it, and when I came out, I fell unconscious. So I have to ask, is there a way to get back to Fabalis." Said Natasha

We all looked at each other. If Natasha came through a portal like Flame and I did, then she can't return. Natasha was looking at us and raising her eyebrow at us. I sighed as I decided to speak up.

"Natasha you see when Flame and I came here, we entered a portal. That portal was a one-way trip, and I don't know about you, but I believe that you entered a one-way portal as well. I'm sorry, but there is no way to return to Fabalis," I said

"No way back, I'm stuck here. DAMN IT!" Said Natasha

"Calm down Natasha. This world isn't as bad as you might think. I've made it as the only Fable here, well until now." Said Flame

Natasha looked at Flame and sighed, "I guess I'm stuck here. Wait, my satchel did any of you see it. It has all my research in it."

"Yes, I took it off when I set you down on the couch." Said Fluttershy

Fluttershy brought over her satchel. Natasha took it and opened it and pulled out an old brown journal. She hugged it close to her body.

"At least I didn't lose this. All my finding for the last couple of years lies in this journal." Said Natasha

"Natasha if I can ask, why would a model like you want to become an archaeologist," I said

"If I tell you, you might think I'm crazy." Said Natasha

"Try me. I've had a crazy life since coming here," I said

"Faba came to me in a dream. I know it sounds crazy that the first Young and our creator came to see me, but it's true. He appeared in my dream covered in his golden armor. He told me that I need to prepare Fabalis for the coming darkness." Said Natasha

"Coming darkness." Said Barb

"Yes, the coming darkness of Pandora." Said Natasha

We were all silent, and I was about to break the silence when the door to the library opened. We all turned to see Twilight and Cadance appear. But Cadance wasn't herself as her face had the expression of everything was hopeless. Nothing I would ever imagine being on Cadance's face. I didn't even see an expression like that one her even after Calvin raped Twilight.

"What's going on?" I asked

Cadance walked forward and looked me in the eyes. "It's the Crystal Empire." Cadance paused before speaking again. "It's freezing."
