A Wolf Among Caribou
Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Facing Demons
Previous Chapter Next ChapterFor a word things were strange for everyone in my herd when the others learned that Daybreaker would be in our herd on a trial run you can believe there was a conflict of interest such as Celestia and Moon who were against her not that I could blame them but Spitfire and Tempest seemed cool with the idea and when Luna and I explained our reason as to why we were allowing this Moon and Celestia backed down and understood and they accepted the decision but that didn't mean they were holding some animosity towards her.
It wasn't long before we began shopping for a crib and expanded the nursery and even began helping Daybreaker with the usual problems of pregnancy, mainly morning sickness and her mood swings.
"Where is he!" Day loudly demanded as she made her way through the castle halls while cradling her exposed pregnant belly.
This has been going on for some time Daybreaker's mood swings would lead her to lashing out at the smallest things when she's mad or agitated, when she's sad she disappears from view any of the pony guards was experienced in handling this but there is one side of Daybreaker's mood swings that they were not prepared for as one poor guard was discovering the hard way.
"Where is Ash!" Day demanded as she pinned a guard to a wall.
It was taking every ounce of willpower for the guard to keep his eyes on the mare's face for if his eyes dared drift down for even a microsecond there would be a chance of certain death just as one of his colleague's learned the hard way.
"T-the throne room he's in charge of Day Court today." the guard said.
Daybreaker then dropped the guard and departed and as she did the guard managed to see Daybreaker's large bare ass sway and wobble as she left.
"I pray for your success my lord." the guard said silently.
Daybreaker soon arrived at the throne room doors and practically threw them open.
"Where have you been?!? I woke up alone this morning!" She screamed with fire literally spewing from her mouth as she stomped towards the throne with her swelling breasts bouncing with every step.
"We were supposed to cuddle all morning!"
"Now, now Day, we talked about this." Ash said calmly while the guards carefully made some space between him and his new wife.
"I woke up all alone thinking you just left me!" She suddenly began to sob out of nowhere as her mood changed again.
"Day that is not going to happen. I'm sorry you felt that way." Ash said as he moved to comfort the pregnant mare.
"I'm sorry..." she sighed.
"Ugh what is this child doing to me?" She whined while rubbing her stomach.
"It's all part of the process dear. Trust me, the girls have been through this a lot of times." Ash said while nuzzling her and sat her on his lap.
"And soon our little one will be here and he or she will have a big family that will love them no matter what."
"That they will." Ash said as he began to stroke Day's belly causing the mare to coo before she cast her eyes at Ash with a lusty look in them.
"Ash." Day began.
"Yeah?" Ash asked.
"Fuck me~." Day purred.
(Ash's P.O.V.)
"That's our cue, boys." The lead guard said before trying to vacate.
"Everyone will stay and watch as my man demonstrates how a real man fucks!" Day yelled, stopping the guards and nobles in their tracks.
"Oh goody her kinky mode has kicked in today." I thought as I began to remove my clothes only for Day to simply rip them off me.
"That takes too long!" Day yelled before jerking my cock and presented me with her leaking tits. "Drink up~."
I complied and began to lap up the leaking milk before latching onto her tits and beginning to aggressively suckle while my hands moved to her ass and began to knead the fleshy orbs like dough much to Day's enjoyment.
Meanwhile, the guards and nobles were doing the best they could to look away or even pretend nothing was happening. Some of the others, however, were watching and even fondled their partner. "Mmm, looks like our show is becoming infectious~" Day pointed out before grinding her dripping wet pussy on my rod.
"You have no problem if I finish off my meeting with my guests while I also tend to your needs now would you?" I asked.
"Not at all. So long as you give me a mind-shattering orgasm," Day said before finally dropping down onto my cock. "Mmm, that's what I needed~."
"Now then...we were...discussing...ah...I'm sorry my train of thought slipped the rails...one sec." Ash said as he brought forth a sheet of paper. "Ah defensive measures around ugh. Aephoceria...one of them being oh fuck Day you're tight, recruitment and a shield like Shining Amour's barrier right?" I asked as Day bounced up and down on my cock while her lips moved to my neck.
"Umm, yes, I believe that's where we left off." The general in charge of defense said while taking notes.
"Mmm, what about offense?" Day asked while leaning further on my chest and flicking her clit with her hand. "I'd love to see something blow up~."
I delivered a spank to Day's cutie mark making the mare jump and clench down on my spire before I massaged the spot.
"In time but right now recent events have shown that we need to start working on a defensive force now. How do you propose we proceed, General?" I asked.
"Umm, well for start-Woah!" The general started before his assistant pulled his pants down. "Paperweight, what are you doing?"
"Don't mind me, sir. Just going with the flow." She said while gesturing to the court around them, where many were giving in to their lust.
When Paperweight swallowed the General's cock, the General tried to focus. "Umm, for starters, a campaign for more recruits-ooooh damn-and our unicorn mages will work on-just a bit more-an early warning system for a radius of at least five miles," The General continued before pushing his assistant's head further down his cock.
"That's good." Ash said.
"Ooooohh harder baby fuck me harder~!" Daybreaker moaned.
The General excused himself before taking himself and his assistant over to the corner and got busy fucking. "Woah. This is one of the better day courts I've presided over." I said before thrusting harder against Day's pussy.
"That's because I'm here~." Day moaned.
Suddenly Day let out a yelp and I moaned as I felt tongues against my cock and when I looked I saw a female servant and guard licking at my spire and Day's snatch whenever she descended my cock.
"Oooh~. Now that's what I call an active court~" Day said when another noble mare stripped in front of them and joined the serven and the guard in pleasuring Ash.
"Damn it...won't last long like this." I groaned.
“F-Forgive us, my lord.” the servant said as she sucked on my balls.
“Your scent is just…intoxicating~” the guard mare swooned, licking my shaft and Day’s pussy.
"Mmm they're saturated...I can smell their hormones running wild, they might as well have gone into a heat cycle." Daybreaker said before I saw her use her magic to conjure up a set of dildos before she went and placed them beneath the mares before they entered and exited the mare's marehoods in time with her bounces causing them to moan loudly.
As Day bounced on me, I looked around to see pretty much everyone giving into their lust and either plowing mares or riding stallions. Much as I wanted to see how much further I could play this out, my end was drawing nearer and nearer until I felt a familiar tension in my groin.
"Oh fuck yes~ You hear that girls you're about to taste the cum of both a god and a goddess." Daybreaker exclaimed as she began to bounce faster on my cock while the three mares increased their licks and kisses.
“Erf! FUCK!” I shouted and the dam burst.
Almost in tandem, as I climaxed deep in Daybreaker’s snatch, the rest of the ponies came and all shouted out in pure bliss. The three mares licked up as much of Daybreaker’s fem cum and my leaking seed as they could before the pleasure and tastes were too much and they fell backwards and passed out.
“Holy shit…” I sighed, coming off my high. “That was-“
“ASH BLADE! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!”
I nearly jumped out of my seat when I looked to see Rosa and Luna glaring at me from the doorway. Rosa then marched my way, stepping over any passed out noble on the floor.
"Oh you here to join in?" Daybreaker asked, causing me to tense up.
Rosa responded by grabbing both my ear and Daybreaker’s.
“You both! Come with me! Right now!” Rosa said as she tugged at our ears.
After that both Day and I were marched into a private room while Luna remained behind to deal with the nobles
Once in the private room Rosa really lay into us giving us what felt like the worst mother, child lecture about sex that could be recounted in history and when I say worst it made the both of us extremely uncomfortable.
"Now what do you two have to say for yourselves!?" Rosa demanded.
"I was horny." Daybreaker whined hoping her reason would diffuse the situation.
Rosa proceeds to lean in and glare at Day with her signature mom stare.
“You. Corner. Now.” Rosa said in a low tone.
Daybreaker shrunk away from the woman before doing as instructed.
"Rosa it's not her fault you know how pregnancy mood swings are." I said, trying my hand at defusing the situation.
“You.” Rosa said to me with her glare. “Bedroom. Now.”
"Yes ma'am." I said submissively before I departed by teleporting to my room. "That...was embarrassing."
(Later) (Daybreaker's P.O.V.)
"Who does that mortal think she is ordering me into a timeout as though I were a little filly!" I shouted as I made my way down the streets with both Tempest and Spitfire, the other members of Ash's herd besides my two sisters, my other half and myself.
“I still can’t believe you boned in the middle of court.” Spitfire said. “I like to get kinky with Ash too, but that’s kinda pushing it.”
"As I told you I was horny and it was too long for us to return back to the bedchambers." I said.
“Is this gonna be us if and when we want foals with Ash?” Tempest asked Spitfire.
"I dunno." Spitfire replied.
"So tell me what exactly we are doing?" I asked.
"We're meeting up with Rarity to do some shopping," Tempest said before spotting her and waving her over. "Come on, I see her."
We then walked over to this 'Rarity' and she warmly greeted both Spitfire and Tempest but seemed unsure about me.
"Greetings...Rarity is it?" I asked.
"Yes, may I help you?" She asked politely as I stepped into the shop to see the extravagant dresses decorating her windows.
"I was told you can help me acquire new outfits." I said while taking a look at one of the dresses.
"Ou...oh yes of course what else would you be here for uh...please look around and if you like tell me if there are any styles you may like." Rarity said.
"Well I need an outfit that is...roomy. I'll be expecting a foal soon." I explained to the seamstress when her face suddenly beamed with excitement.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?!?" She squealed before floating several outfits to me.
The sudden change in attitude was alarming to say the least and before anything could happen I was suddenly placed on a podium and Rarity started holding up clothing against me all the while muttering about colors, shapes and sizes.
"Now we'll need to make sure the outfit is not too loose but also not too tight, especially when your pregnancy really starts to show-Oh! and we'll need to make sure the straps slip off easily in case your little one gets hungry." She said as I stood there dumbfounded while Tempest and Sunset just smiled and shook their heads.
"Rarity here is a mare dedicated to her craft." Spitfire said.
"So I see." I said
"Oooh! I know just the thing to make you turn heads," Rarity said before going into the back of the shop.
Rarity soon returned with a book and then pointed out an outfit that was being worn by a human woman.
"This is a maternity dress?" I asked as I pointed at the image.
"Indeed I...have contacts in an alternate dimension who were kind enough to provide some inspiration material and I believe you will look fabulous in this." Rarity said, prompting me to look back at the outfit.
"Isn't it a bit revealing?" I asked after seeing it didn't really cover much.
"Oh this is just for bedtime darling. Husbands find their mares very enticing during pregnancy~." Rarity winked, making me blush at the thought of Ash taking me while still pregnant.
"Now for a more humble outfit, I have a few other selections."
Rarity then walked off to search through her book while Spitfire walked over to me.
"Betcha he would have fucked another little one into you in the throne room if you came in wearing that." Spitfire whispered as memories of that moment resurfaced.
“Indeed honestly I'm a little jealous." Tempest said with her arms crossed.
"Yeah hell even Luna was jealous cause you stole her idea about doing it in the throne room." Spitfire replied.
"Oh my, I didn't know Luna was so...exotic~." I purred before Rarity came back with a few more selections.
"Here we are dear, a few more...humble selections." She said while showing me to the fitting room.
"If you want, I also have some undergarments that will help with your expanding chest size."
"At this rate, I may just forgo bras all together," I said with a smirk before trying on the first dress.
The first was a simple strapless dress that reached just above my knees and stretched comfortably over my stomach and it came in a fiery orange color.
"What do you think?" I asked.
"Hawt." Tempest said, making me blush a little.
Next outfit was a pair of tight fitting blue jeans and a mid crop burning red shirt that left my belly exposed for all to see.
"And now?" I asked.
"Yummy~" Spits said while licking her lips.
Having the attention of these two I had to admit it was quite thrilling so on the next outfit I decided to strike a pose by placing my hands behind my head.
"And now?" I asked.
"Sexy." They both said.
"And this one?" I asked as I leaned forward showing off my cleavage.
"That will turn some heads." Tempest said.
"How about this one? Does it make my butt look big?" I asked as I traded outfits again only this Time I had my back facing the mares and decided to lean forward to stick my flank out for them.
"No. It makes it look enticing." Spits said. I could almost see her making gestures with her hands, wanting to grab and fondle my flank.
I then lit up my horn as a naughty idea came to my mind.
"Then what are you waiting for? Get a better view dear." I said before I used my magic to pull her forward at such a fast pace she slammed into my ass making me gasp silently.
"Ah, ah, ah ladies this is a boutique not a brothel. If you wish to do that I humbly ask that you do this sort of thing at home." Rarity spoke up.
"Mmm, with you joining?" I asked, only for Rarity to blush heavily and storm out to the back. "Pity. She has a nice figure."
"Yeah but she's got someone already besides she's right we can do this at home and we need to get those clothes for you." Spitfire said.
"You know she can say what she wants. I saw she was enjoying the show." I said as I remember watching her squirm.
"Well it's best not to push our luck." Spitfire said as we brought the chosen dresses to the cash register and made my purchase.
"Word of advice darling, wear the least favorite one for when the big day comes." Rarity suggested as she placed the dresses into the bag.
"I'll remember that." I replied.
"Well today was fun but thanks to you, I'm all hot and bothered~." Tempest smirked at me before ogling my figure.
*"Mm I can see why Ash picked you for the herd. Not too bad."* I thought
"What say we return home where you can-enjoy me properly and who knows Ash might be available to join us." I said.
"Nice~. So did he do you in the dungeons yet?" Tempest asked bluntly as I blinked in surprise.
"Dungeon?"
"Oh yeah, that's where we like to get REALLY wild~." Spitfire explained, as I placed a hand to my chest and gasped in surprise.
"Goodness, do you girls ever take a break?"
"Oh we actually have a schedule. I get him on certain days along with the rest of the girls." Tempest smiled.
"You think it's easy running a place like this? The poor guy needs a stress reliever every now and then."
"When you speak of dungeons you don't mean the ones where I was imprisoned do you?" I asked.
"Gods no this is more a private spot only we know about." Tempest said
"A place where nopony can hear you scream~. And I mean that in a good way." Spitfire winked, making us laugh.
"My my, there's so much about my new husband I do not know about yet."
"You will." Tempest said before her horn ignited and we vanished from the city streets.
We were back in our room and I immediately went to put away my new outfits. When I was done, I turned to my herd sisters and brought them in for a hug. "Thank you. Both of you. Out of all of us, you two have been the most accommodating and helpful," I told them before letting them go.
"Don't mention it gorgeous." Tempest smirked before suddenly spanking my rear out of nowhere.
"Just be ready for a rodeo once you recover from giving birth."
(Elsewhere)
Ash was on his way to Paradise Acres hoping to drop in and check in on the Apple Family and also properly talk with Applejack about before during the invasion.
Ash knocked on the door to the farmhouse and was greeted by Applebloom. "Hey, Ash." She greeted him with a kind smile and hugged his waist, though not as enthusiastically as before. "Wanna come in?"
"Yes please." I said before I stepped inside. "Is uh...is your mother and sister in? I have something I need to say to them and you."
"Ah'll go get 'em." Applebloom said before leaving me in the living room.
I took a seat on one of the chairs and waited patiently for them. From the corner of my eye, I saw Mac leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed.
"Hey." Mac said with a blank expression.
"Hey Mac." I said.
"Been a while since ya came to the farm." Mac said.
"Yeah...for obvious reasons." I said with a guilty tone.
"Obvious." Mac repeated and walked over to sit beside me.
"How's...Shy? And your son?" I tried to say.
"You scared the apple seeds outta mah sister," Mac said, making me cringe. "And you made mah mother more anxious than when she and Pa came back to us. Bloom is strong, like her parents, but she ain't invincible."
"I let myself loose...First Day, Posey, Dust's family, then Aephoceria burning...there was just so much anger swarming me I didn't know what I was doing." I said as my gaze never left the ground.
"Ah get it." Mac sighed. "We lost a lot of good ponies that day. But it doesn't excuse the trauma." Mac reached into his back pocket and placed his war tags on the table and his brotherhood ring. "Ah like ya, Ash, Ah do. Especially after everything we've been through. But I can't in good conscience stand beside you on the front lines anymore. I'm done, both with the brotherhood and with the war."
"I understand...you and the others have done more than your fair share and I will not ask more of you anymore...you don't deserve that." Ash said as he took the tags and ring.
"Thank you for understanding," Mac said and stood up. "Just a heads up, Ah ain't the only one whose tags and ring you'll be gettin'. I'm headed to Shy's, see ya."
I watched him walk out of the house with a heavy heart. My outburst must've affected everyone in more worse ways than I thought, and now I hate myself for it. The sound of someone walking down the steps caught my attention and I saw Bloom walk in with AJ and Pear Butter. Bright Mac was right behind them and the minute he saw me, his eyes narrowed.
"Ya got some nerve..." Bright growled, staying close to his wife and daughter.
"Yeah guess I do." I replied.
"Hon, please," Pear Butter said.
"Please what?!" Bright snapped. "He thinks he can just mosey on up in here after the shit he pulled?! Look at our baby girl, Pear! She ain't stepped outta the house since the attack!"
"Look I figured I wouldn't be welcome here but that doesn't mean what I have to say should be left unspoken." Ash said.
"We don't wanna hear it!" Bright Mac shouted as he stomped forward and grabbed me by the front of my shirt and went to punch me while I did nothing to stop him.
"Bright Macintosh!"
“Stay outta this!” Bright yelled and punched me again.
I didn’t fight back as he kept punching me and the mares begged him to stop. Bright kneed me in the gut and dragged me to the front door. With all his strength, the stallion threw me into the dirt and I hit the ground hard.
“Ah ever see you around my property again, I’ll blow yer buckn’ brains out!” Bright shouted and slammed the door. “King mah buckn’ flank! Ain’t nothin’ but a fraud!”
Suddenly there was a slap sound from within the house before I heard the door open and I saw it was Granny Smith.
"Get in here." Granny demanded.
Not willing to argue with the mare I picked myself up and dusted myself off before walking inside and I saw the others were still there and Bright Mac was nursing his face which had a handprint upon it.
"Kitchen." Granny ordered and so I did as bade.
Even in her advanced age, the mare held an aura of intimidation around her and especially when she had her rolling pin ready to knock some sense into anyone with a thick head.
Entering the kitchen Granny sat me down and went to retrieve a medical box before she began to clean my face but as I went to stop her she gave me a glare that made stop and let her do as she wished which was to dab disinfectant alcohol on my face where it got into the cuts that stung but I didn't do anything.
"Ah don't know why you're treating him when he shouldn't be here in the first place." Bright Mac said.
"Hush Bright Mac, this one here is a guest and I know I raised you with better sense than what you have now!" Granny shouted, making Bright back down. "Now from what I heard you had something you wish to say?"
"Yes ma'am...I came to say I'm sorry for what happened...there is no excuse for what I did when I should have had more control over my actions when the truth of the matter is I didn't have any...I put you three no four in terrible danger and I can't apologize enough for that." I said.
"I know it ain't your fault youngin." Granny said, surprising me while continuing to treat my wounds.
"I can't be mad at you for losing your temper when all you were trying to do was help but..." She paused.
"What I am mad about is you taking so long to apologize."
"You're right, I should have come sooner. Apple Bloom, Pear Butter, Applejack and you too Bright Mac I put you all through a great deal and I cannot apologize enough for that." I said before I bowed my head.
"Well, I appreciate the apology, and what you did to save my family," Granny told me before pinching my arm and giving it a little twist for good measure. "But if you ever do something like that again, you'll be getting a right whoopin' with my wooden spoon!"
“Yes ma’am,” I winced.
“Ash?” Applejack said. She took a deep breath and I braced myself for her yelling at me. Instead, she gently wrapped her arms around my head and hugged me while holding my head on her stomach.
“Ah already told Caramel and the rest of mah family,” Applejack said softly. “Ah’m pregnant again, and Ah wanna name mah foal after ya because…I forgive you too.” I looked up at her with wide eyes and I felt them moisten as she looked down at me with a warm smile. “You’re mah precious friend, Ash, never forget that.”
"Applejack...I-." I began but was lost for words. Soon enough the other mares gave me a hug but Bright was still sour with me not that I could blame him and I didn't expect any warm fuzzy feelings from him right now.
"Now I do believe you have a new member of the family to visit and also food in your belly before leaving." Granny said, causing me to nod.
"I'd like that," I told her before I saw Caramel come down the stairs, holding his and AJ's son.
"This is Apple Tart." Caramel said as he brought the little foal into Ash's view.
The little colt had his father's fur and his mother's mane colors and it made me smile warmly as the little one looked at me before smiling.
"Ash, listen. I... Sigh." Caramel couldn't find the words so he just went and handed me his tags and ring.
“Don’t be sorry, Caramel,” I said as I gladly took his tags and ring. “You’re a father now. Your main priority is being there for your new son, and your other little one on the way.”
Caramel merely nodded in gratitude and after I put the items away Caramel handed me the colt to hold while Granny Smith declared that it was time to start cooking.
(Sometime Later)
Things were strange for me after that. I sat and ate with the Apples and caught up on their life and when I departed I decided to visit each of the colts and the rest of the mane 6 and with each visit I received a new tag and ring which I understood clearly their intentions and I couldn't and wouldn't blame them for their choice since the Templars were gone the Brotherhood was no longer needed which is why I also went to see my other assassins who turned over their rings and now I was standing at the beach while grey clouds covered the sky allowing me a sense of peace as I looked at the trinkets I had gathered.

The sound alarmed me and froze my blood for it was distinct...familiar and one that I had not heard in a long time but when I looked to the source of the sound I saw a cloaked figure and protruding from the figure's robes was the handle of a blade and attached to the hilt of the blade was a chain one that I was familiar with since I was the one that helped forge it but this chain was longer then I remember.
"You." I seethed as I brought Whispering Wind to my back.
"Hello old friend." the creature said with the same voice I remember him speaking with despite the hood over his face.
"You and I are not friends. The man I called friend is trapped within you creature so the question is what do I call you?" I asked as I pulled out Whispering Wind.
"Geralt the same as it has always been Ash, just like in the days you rode with me under my banner." 'Geralt' said.
The only response I gave was to spit at him, which didn't seem to phase him before Geralt's hands found the chain upon his blade.
"You remember this Ash, it was made together with you and I and the others." Geralt said as his hand ran along the chain as if it were glass. "Each time a country fell we took the ruler's crown and made a new link for this chain.
"It's longer than last time." I said.
"Ah yes as you may expect I've been busy." Geralt said.
"Yes, which surprised me when I discovered you were working for Diann...or is there something else?" I asked, causing Geralt to laugh.
"Sharp as ever Ash but you are correct Diann is a means to an end whether he succeeds or fails in his task is of no bother to me he'll have done the hard job for me either way." Geralt said.
"Figured so what's the end game here? You already have the conquered lands to rule over and build your kingdom and you have the time to do it considering you're still alive so what more could you possibly want or need?" I asked.
“Ah ah, Ash,” Gerald said, holding up a finger. “I can’t simply tell you what I’m really after this early in the game.”
“Everything’s a game to you.” I spat.
“Not all the time.” Gerald chuckled, then stared at me for a time. “You know, if I’m being honest, I would’ve suspected Satanael to send his dog to aid you in this quest that old bag of bones has you on.”
"As far as my quest is concerned you're just an added bonus I get to wipe off my ledger so not sure why Santanial's Hand would be involved with you." I said.
“All in due time, my friend,” Gerald said. “I must now take my leave. Oh, and just for old times sake, I’ll leave you with a little something between us. The next son has taken residence in the Dragon Lands, along with the Snake.”
With that Geralt vanished making me scoff.
"My point proven how that thing never cared for us." I thought.
Suddenly the sound of some teleporting behind me went off so I turned and saw Faust dressed in her golden armor and carrying her sword.
"He's gone, just missed him." I said
"I see...pity...did he say anything?" Faust asked.
"Diann is just a means to the end for him but he did mention how one of Diann's Sons and Snake is in The Dragon Lands so now we have a new target to pursue...but there is something bothering me." I said.
"And that is?" Faust asked.
"Why bring up The Devil's Hand?" I wondered.
“The Devil’s Hand?” Faust repeated. “I’m…I’m not sure. He could just be trying to dissuade you.”
"Doesn't matter he's already got an assignment and I have mine. I just need to focus on one thing at a time and whatever that thing has planned he won't get away with it." I said as I sheathed my blade.
I then left that place and made my way home. I didn't bring my...visitor up to anyone since I figure it best not worry them.
I then placed the rings in a shrine and the tags elsewhere for safekeeping before I went ahead and informed my brother along with Elisa and Evan of going to the Dragon Lands soon to which they were all ready for. I then stopped by the nursery and looked down at the slumbering form of my youngest.
Alora slept in her crib and I listened to her breathing peacefully in her sleep. I smiled down at her before kissing the top of her forehead. "Goodnight, my angel," I told her before heading for my room.
No one was present when I made it to my room but regardless since it was cold I decided to slip into my pajamas and read a good book while the covers were drawn over me to keep me warm.
As I neared the climax of the book, the door to the room clicked open. When I looked up, I saw that it was Day, Spits, and Tempest coming in, laughing and overall, having a good time as they got ready for bed.
"Hey you three." I greeted as I bookmarked the book and sent it away.
"Oh, already warmed up the bed for us." Spitfire smirked.
"You missed dinner." Tempest commented.
"The Apples filled me till I could eat no more." Ash said.
"Well I'd ask if you'd want to join us for a shower but it seems like you're comfy already." Spitfire said
The door opened again and in walked Moon, Luna and Celestia who smiled when they saw me but halted and had mixed feelings when they saw Day.
I let out a sigh when I saw this. "I can see this becoming a regular thing for a while."
"So how was your day?" Moon asked, trying to at least break the ice between them.
"It was rather enjoyable. Spits and Tempest showed me around the kingdom and even took me clothes shopping." Day said while pointing at the bags she brought with her. "How was your day?"
"Quiet for the most part decided to go to the gym and try some yoga." Moon said.
"Mmm, and it shows~" Spits said over to Moon while her eyes looked up and down her figure.
"Glad you noticed." Moon said.
"And you Celestia?" Tempest asked.
"Taking a stroll through the garden with Chrysalis. Seeing if we could fix or perfect anything. Slender was a big help in that area." She said, making me wonder where he was during the invasion.
"I see...we were just about to go bathe before retiring to bed. Would you care to join us?" Day suggested surprising the trio.
"Yes perhaps we will but first we have a certain requirement to attend to." Luna said as she gestured to her sister who nodded in turn before they made their way to the balcony to tend to the sun and moon.
After Celestia and Luna finished their daily task, the girls bathed and showered before getting in bed with me. Luna took her place on my right as Moon came up on my left. While we got comfortable, I saw that Spits and Tempest were cuddling up to Day. As the three of them started to drift off, I saw Day smile as she wrapped her arms around Spits.
Feeling a shuffling to my right I also saw Celestia spooning her little sister which I found adorable as they both had warm smiles on their faces.
Feeling a sense of peace at this situation I happily closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
