Mystogan walked up the stairs as the guards escorted him to the guest chamber he will be staying at until the dinner was ready, he was looking around at all the fancy decor and all the stuff a castle had. As he came to a stop when they did, they opened to door and allowed him in. It was a large room with a rather large bed in the middle, two windows with expensive curtain and all that stuff, and a large bathroom with a large tub. Certainly looks like they treat their guests her nicely. It was certainly a little too much for Mystogan.

"Please get some rest, God Eater Raven. Dinner will be ready within four hours."

"Thank you again for escorting me ladies..it really wasn't necessary."

"It was no trouble, sire. It was an honor to fight by your side as well. Especially with someone as young as you who holds such talent."

"Well..thank you for saying so. See you two at the banquet then."

"Yes sir, see you soon."

With that, they close the door behind them as they leave. Mystogan walks over to the bed and falls face first onto it. He hated to admit it...but the bed felt rather lonely without a cuddle partner. Seems Rarity has spoiled him with such things. he couldn't help but laugh.

"This world is going to make me soft soon enough...I don't like it. But, at the same time, I love it. I have new friends. Who are absolute bombshells, but I know that I can't get too close to them. I mean...who in the world would want to be in a relationship with me in such a way here? I could turn into an aragami one day then I would have to be killed. I don't want to leave that person behind because of it."

Mystogan flopped onto his back as he starred up at the ceiling, his eyes slowly start to get heavy from being in his relaxed state. Until he heard a knock at the door. He quickly sits up on his bed.

"Yes?"

"Um...Raven? Its Celestia. May I come in?"

"You may."

The door opens and she makes her way in. He watches her approach with his legs crossed and his hands resting on his thighs.

"Now what brings you here, Princess?"

She takes a sit on the bed next to him and fidgets a bit,looking down at her hands.

"Raven...I know we didn't start right of good terms when you arrived here. And it may be too soon of me to ask this but.."

Mystogan tilts his head with an arched brow.

"Will...you please accept my friendship Raven?"

Mystogan thought on it for a moment. He will admit, she has been very nice to him as of late. Even made Twilight promise not to carve him open. And the fact that she is letting him stay here even after the banquet is pretty neat in of itself. He looked back to ehr, seeing those hopeful, anticipating eyes watching him. Ah fuck it!

"Sure Princess. I will accept your friendship. We may have started off on the wrong foot, but you have proven yourself with your kindness."

He holds out his arms, closing his eyes for what was to come. This was probably gonna hurt.

"Oh thank you Raven, thank you!"

She shouted as she indeed did tackle him down onto the bed, face full of of those large soft breasts, her arms wrapping around him and pushing him between them more. He learned his lesson after Rarity and Pinkie, hold your breath! He lightly tapped her back as she continued smothering him, finally catching her attention as she realized she was squishing him.

"By the sun, I am so so sorry Raven!"

She said as she quickly straddled over him to give him a bit of room.

"Honestly Princess, I have gotten used to it. I have gotten used to being shorter than all the mares and stallions here. You are equine creatures after all, its only natural you would be taller than humans. Oh and for the record...they are very nice."

Celestia blushed heavily as she placed her arms under her bust, showing them off.

"At least you are honest and don't trip over your tongue. Anyways, now that we are friends, you don't have to call me 'Princess' anymore.."

"So, would you prefer I call you...Tia then?"

"Yes! That would be wonderful! And..may I..call you..?"

"Yes Tia, you may call me Mystogan and if you want to shorten it, just call me Myst. But remember, this is only between me and you and my other friends. Refer to me as Raven in front of everyone tonight if you will. Princess Luna will get the call me by my name once she gets the courage to ask for friendship as well."

She nodded, but was still ever so excited that she has made progress with this young man. She would finally get to experience the kindness that she could feel within him. The way he was, it made her excited and happy. A being of eighteen years and yet wise beyond his years. An intellectual human indeed.

"Well Tia...I think I am going to get a nap in before dinner. I am a little worn after that last beasty."

She lets out a quiet little 'Aaawwww...' but nods and smiles, leaning in and kissing his forehead affectionately. Which made him blink and blush a bit. Geez. Do this ponies kiss all their friends? He just shook his head, but smile in return. She got off the bed and walked towards the door, opening it and looking back to him.

"Rest well...Mystogan. Bring your appetite."

She said as she closed the door behind herself, smiling widely and giggling to herself as she walked down the hall, starting to hum a happy tune.

"She may regret saying that...I am technically an aragami...and I will eat food that is given tome..no matter how much of it is there..."

He slowly closes his eyes, drifting off into a quiet sleep.

--4 Hours Later--

Mystogan's eyes open as his internal clock goes off, four hours have passed it seems. he slowly pushes himself up and off the bed, standing and stretching as he yawns. And his belly growls loudly.

"Oh boy...I am about to eat these ponies out of house and castle..."

A knock at the door was heard.

"Yes, I am on my way."

"We have come to escort you sir."

"You girls didn't have to you know."

He said as he opened the door, what he saw next stunned him. These female guards were...dressed so nicely. and god damn did they look very nice. Both in matching dresses and matching...everything really.

"Huh..with all that armor on, never would have guessed you were twins...you both look good by the way."

They blushed and giggled lightly, yep,they may be among the strong, but they are still females.

"Thank you for saying so sir. Now let us go stuff our faces, yes?"

"Hell yes!"

--Downstairs, Dinning Hall--

Mystogan peeks from around the corner, not liking what he saw. No no, the food was beautiful. But the nobles in their fancy clothing?

"Nope!"

He said as he spins on his heel and makes a run for it. But the two guards grab him by his arms.

"Hey! Where are you going?!"

They whisper yelled

"I don't do pompous rich arrogant nobles!"

He responded back in the same tone

"Oh come on, you faced down a dragon. You cant handle them?!"

"I'd rather have the dragon right now compared to them!"

"But the Princesses are expecting you! They are throwing this for you after all! Can't have a party without the guest!Now get in there, mister!"

They said as they pushed him back into the room, he nearly fell back as he turned to face the crowd who sat at the table, all their eyes on him. The twins following behind him.

"The guest of honor, as you requested Princess Celestia."

"Thank you for retrieving him, ladies. You may take your seats."

Mystogan stood there frozen in place, Celestia motioning him to come and sit at her left, Luna already on her right. He walks passed all the whispering nobles, seeing them eye him in mixed ways. Some out of fear,and some out of disgust. He did his best to ignore them, and took a seat next to Celestia. That huge platter of steaks that was in front of him was the only good thing about this gathering so far. Celestia stood up and gathered the attention of the crowd.

"To those who have gathered here this fine evening, thank you all for coming. As I am sure you are aware, a dragon attacked the castle earlier. Luckily, this young warrior to my left here, along with a few other guards that are with us this evening, took down the beast as it was attacking."

They all gasp as they heard that this...thing lead the attack.

"So, join me in thanking this warrior, Raven, the God Eater."

The guard in the room and at the table cheered for him, but none of the nobles only laughed,well most of them anyways. There was two of them that were actually clapping for him genuinely.

"This thing is responsible for saving the castle? Surely you jest Princess! Bring out the real hero of our fair city!"

Celestia glared at the pony who spoke.

"I do NOT jest Upper Crust. This stallion is the one you owe your lives to. And I will not have you insulting my guest of honor. You will show him the proper respect, or you can leave."

"But Princess.What is so great about this creature. I mean,he isn't even a pony. He doesn't even looks like he belongs here.!"

Mystogan had enough. He knew this was going to be like this, even if Celestia came to his defense his blood was boiling.

"I knew this was a bad idea. You listen to me..all of you."

"Oh look, the monkey is getting upset!"

Mystogan's eyes darted to the mare who said that. He leaps onto the table and surprisingly avoids stepping on the food, he crouches in front of her with a dark glare, she quickly lowers her ears and shakes in fear.

"You think I am a monkey do you? How would you like this monkey to rip you limb from limb then? Or better yet. When another dragon comes by,I will feed all of you pompous nobles to him. Then again, I am sure you will give him stomach pains with all your your rotten attitudes. So I will spare him that."

He stood up on the middle of the table and pointed to them.

"Next time, when you want help from a monster that wants to kill you in the most horrific way. I won't be here to help you. And to those few nobles here who actually appreciate my efforts and don't judge me for who and what I am...You are far better than these lowlives. Don't let them taint your good nature. And thank you for listening to me. Now back to you fucking judgmental cunts. I hope you all chock on your money and die...and may your children be better nobles than you could ever be. I'm gone. Enjoy your dinner."

He said as he walked away from the table.

"Mys-...Raven please wait!"

"Its alright Celestia..this isn't your fault..."

As he was about to leave,one of the nobles called out to him

"Please young fellow...don't let the rest of these rude ponies spoil the evening for you. They are just a disagreeable bunch is all."

He turned a faced who was speaking to him, he was a white unicorn with blue parted hair, wearing a tail coat and black suit pants. Fancy Pants was his name

"Thank you Sire, you are one of the few I spoke about. But they have already ruined it. The only thing that would fix this mess is if they all left right now. I will not dine with them if they choose to disrespect me."

Luna and Celestia both get the same idea and chuckle.

"Well then, we shall do this then."

With both of their magic, they teleported all the guest that insulted Mystogan out of the room and outside in the mud, the population of the room cut in half and the occupants moved more closer together. Mystogan chuckled and nodded.

"Alright,this I can work with."

"Very good, now come and join us young one!"

He said as he waved him over.Mystogan takes his seat and piles his food high on his plate, mainly of steak and mashed potatoes.he claps his hands together and bows his head.

"Thank you for the food."

And with that, he begins to demolish his food like a monster, but as usual...some how he never lets a crumb fall or cause a mess.

"My goodness. The poor dear must have been starving.."

One of the noble mares said as she watched in amazement.

"Well, he is a bit on the thin side. he needs to eat more!"

Said one of the stallions. As he finishes plate after plate of food, both the other guests and the princesses watch as his stomach remains flat. The mares in the room poke at their stomachs and puff their cheeks a bit

"I am kind of jealous of this stallion..."

They all laughed and began to eat their own food. With all the meat gone, Mystogan was satisfied, finally. But he didn't look full in the slightest! they continued to stare at him with wide eyes, even more impressed that the area was still as clean as it was when he arrived.

"Impressive young one. very impressive. How did you manage to eat like that and keep yourself from getting covered?"

"Its...a long story. I am called a 'God Eater' for many reasons, that being one of them."

They continued talking through the evening, eventually everyone left to go home. It was just Mystogan and Celestia now, who were now outside resting against one of the balcony rails.

"Thank you Tia...that dinner was amazing."

"You are very welcome Myst. it was truly an honor to throw it for you. I am sorry again for the rudeness of the others."

"Well,the fact that you threw them out made it better. So the night wasn't a total loss. Also, I am sorry I scarfed down most of everything. Being part aragami, I have quite the appetite when that much food is offered...."

"That just means most of it didn't go to waste!"

They both chuckled and looked up at the night sky.

"Just think, my birthday is literally three weeks away, I will be nineteen.."

"Your..birthday is on Hearth's Warming Eve?!"

"Well...back in my world it's called Christmas, but yes...I suppose so..."

"Oooh I will have to get you something special then!"

"That isn't necessary Tia. I haven't had many gifts during these times. So it's no big deal."

"But Myst...it really is a big deal! And I am going to get you something you will enjoy! I know I will. And I am sure that Pinkie Pie back in Ponyville will want to throw you a party."

"I will let her on one condition. She invites you, Luna and the other girls. No big party like the other day..."

"You...Lulu can come to?"

"Of course...I am not gonna leave her out while her sister goes and has a good time. That would be a bit mean..."

"You are just the sweetest thing ever Myst..."

"Baaah, I am just nice to my friends is all. Anyways, I am going to go and get some sleep, I gotta return in the morning."

As he walks away, she fidgets lightly and quickly turns to him

"Myst!"

"Hmm?"

"Uum...well, I know I am not Rarity..but would you want me to come cuddle and sleep with you...?"

She asked with a heavy blush.

"Tia...it's very nice of you to offer, but I can't ask you to do that. As much as I would love to snuggle upto that...wonderful, soft form of yours, I am afraid it may reflect on both of us badly...right?"

She looks at him with a tilted head.

"How do you mean Myst?"

"Well, you are a princess. A royal being. I am sure sleeping, and I mean literally sleeping with a commoner such as myself would look bad on your part huh?"

She shook her head with a giggle.

"I slept and cuddled with my student before she became the princess of friendship when she lived here. So I see no reason I can'twith you."

"Well...if you say its alright then...yes, I would like that."

And with that, she takes his hand and drags him off to her chambers, throwing off her clothing and removing his, wrapping him up in her arms and legs, not even giving him the chance to protest. but he just sighs and snuggles close into her, having gotten used to it by now. Mystogan noticed she smelled...rather nice. he nuzzles into her gently, resting his head on her chest. She couldn't help but coo and smile, running her fingers throw his hair. This was adding tot he affect of making him drowsy. Rarity did this for him, and now Celestia did. And he was...rather happy with it

"Sweet dreams Mystogan...and thank you...for becoming my friend. Brave God Eater."

She said before leaning in and kissing his forehead gently. He finally falls into a deep sleep,hearing Celestia's heart beat. Which was oddly soothing.
