Stomach Stallion: The Misadventures of Verdant Range
Chapter 20: Tales from the Mirrorverse - Antacid's Creed
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIn the dark world of Equestria, there were two wicked princesses who opposed the good King Sombra. The dark princesses, Celestia and Luna, waged a near constant war to overthrow Sombra and claim his throne.
Due to these wars, the kingdom greatly suffered, with many ponies needing to resort to crime in order to survive.
One such pony was Verdant Range, an archer with a good knowledge of poisons. He’d gotten his cutie mark when he managed to shoot down a fleeing thief when he was eight years old, a trio of blood droplets.
Previously, he’d been shrunken down due to poison joke and eaten by his neighbor, a zebra mare by the name of Kuni. This caused him to discover that he had the ability to be eaten alive yet escaped unharmed.
After that day, he would study various poisons and plants that had mystical properties. This led to him finding a recipe for a shrinking violet potion. Thanks to this potion, the young stallion was able to sneak into many a pony’s home, steal what he’d want, and then escape with no real trace.
Eventually, the day came where he had a plan for something that would set him for life.
He had gone to Canterlot to enact his grand plan.
***
On the grounds of the dark palace the princesses called their home, Verdant kept himself hidden in the bushes as one of their goons, a golden coated mare, started to trot by. With a wicked smirk, Verdant reached into his dark green vest and pulled out a vial full of a purple potion. With a quick swig, he downed the potion and stuffed the empty vial back into his vest.
As the golden coated mare drew closer, Verdant quickly started to shrink down to the size of a pea. The shrunken stallion went unnoticed as she walked by.
Chuckling to himself, he darted out from the bush and leapt onto the tip of her tail. He tightly clung onto a strand of tail as she walked along.
“Phase One, complete,” he muttered to himself as the goon carried him into the palace, mentally noting that the stones were all illuminated by the many torches that lined the imposing halls.
After several minutes, the shamrock stallion spotted from the hair that they were passing by a massive door that had an image carved upon it. It was an image of a sun with a black center.
“Well, I’d prefer Princess Moonbutt, but this will do,” Verdant said before he jumped down from the tail and darted to the door.
He managed to squeeze under the gap in the door and made it into a colossal bedroom. There were things that decorated the room such as the large fireplace or the ornate mirror but none of this mattered to Verdant. His eyes were locked solely on the bed.
Or rather, the specific part of the sheets covering the bed that wasn’t tucked in, hanging out of a corner and just barely touching the marble floor.
After a rather tiring climb that lasted nearly an hour, Verdant had managed to pull himself onto the top of the gigantic bed.
The minuscule mammal didn’t have much time to catch his breath, however, as the bedroom door swung open. Stepping into the chambers was the wicked mare of the sun, Princess Celestia. Her dark mane flowed as if an eternal breeze followed it.
She was adorned in the usual attire she would wear when she and her sister would go out to wage war on Sombra’s forces.
Atop her head was a golden crown shaped like a pair of draconic horns. Wrapped around the great spire of ivory that was her horn was a golden ring with a violet jewel dangling from it that contrasted her dark magenta eyeshadow. Clasped around her neck was a stunning golden peytral with a dark amethyst in the center with a flared collar that matched the gem. Adorning her forelegs were a set of dark purple socks that went halfway up her pillar-like legs with gold shaped into the image of flames that held them in place. The last thing the shrunken stallion spotted on the approaching titan was a golden scorpion-like stinger that was attached to the end of her magical tail.
“Well, seems the reports of Celestia being the unappealing sister were greatly exaggerated.” A dark grin crossed Verdant’s face as her horn flared in a deep magenta light as she started to strip herself down. “Oh I will savor this show.”
The princess soon removed the last piece of clothing before teleporting the pieces onto a ponyquin that laid in a far corner of the room. When she started to draw closer to the bed, Verdant quickly covered himself with a bit of the sheet to keep hidden from her sight.
The bed trembled like a violent quake as Celestia settled in. Only a moment after the bed settled, the alicorn laid her head on her pillow. Sleep quickly overcame the mighty mare.
Nearly twenty minutes after she fell asleep, Verdant tossed the sheet off him, feeling certain that her sleep was deep enough that he could carry out his insane plan.
He traveled along the great valley of her bedsheets, her thick legs acting as a soft, fuzzy cliffside. The wicked stallion enjoyed the pleasant walk between her legs, but what he enjoyed even more was the sight of her colossal nethers, thanks to her tail being draped to her left side.
“My, oh my,” Verdant chuckled as he drew close to her hind quarters. “Much as I enjoy the view of this magnificent sight, I’ve got bigger fish to fry.”
Looking to his right, Verdant saw he’d reached the point where her leg met her hips. The little corner of flesh and fur would be perfect for his climb.
“Hopefully I can have some fun around here someday,” Verdant said before he leapt onto her thigh. “Maybe enter her in a way that’ll be better than what I’m gonna do.”
The climb was a strain for the shrunken stallion. While he had climbed many a pony before in his thievery, he’d never had to climb anypony anywhere close to as tall as Celestia. It took nearly twenty minutes for him to reach the top of her rump.
Verdant laid on his back as he tried to catch his breath. “I’m gonna be sore in the morning,” he grumbled as he felt himself slightly sinking into the flank flesh.
After a few minutes, the sore stallion rose back up before he started to walk forward. “You’d better be right about your crazy plan, Verdant,” He said to himself, seeing the long trek he had ahead of him. It would likely take the bulk of the night to reach his destination.
“Rest assured, Me,” he replied to nopony. “Once I’m done here, I’ll have a new job that will pay out like never before.”
“Or you’ll just make a fuckton of enemies and get tortured to death. I’d say it’s fifty-fifty.” He said as he reached the base of the princess’ back.
Time seemed to move slowly as he traveled close to the titanic alicorn’s spine. The trip was a weary one for the stallion, but he refused to quit. His goal was all that mattered to him.
When he reached the halfway point of Celestia’s back, she gave a slight shake. This was enough to send Verdant sprawling face first into her back.
“What the shit?! He exclaimed as he hastily looked to his sides. His vision soon fell on the princess’ giant right wing, which he had wandered near.
“Right, of course,” Verdant observed aloud as he slowly got back onto his hooves. “If wings are a sensitive spot on pegasi and griffins, it’d make sense it’d be that way on an alicorn too. I’ll need to tread carefully if I want to complete my mission.
“Maybe once you get paid for this, you could afford to talk to a therapist, Green Bean,” he said to himself as he gently tried to step away. “Remember, talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity… Well, besides coming up with the kind of plan you did.”
Verdant carefully moved along, trying to avoid tickling the princess with his hoofsteps. While there would be the occasional twitch, it wasn’t enough to knock him over once again.
After what felt like forever but was likely close to two hours, he let out a sigh of relief as he reached the base of her neck.
“Finally,” he chuckled as he cautiously tried to climb her neck, “Phase two is so close, I can almooOOOOOO!”
Verdant’s hooves slipped out from under him and he started to tumble down. Upon landing, he was rather glad he was too small for the princess to hear the multiple screams of profanity he uttered before he landed face first on the pillow.
“Well,” Verdant groaned as he pulled himself up. His legs were quite sore, despite landing on something soft. “Could have gone better, but I’m almost done with this phase.”
After nearly ten more minutes, Verdant reached the top of the pillow where the princess laid her chin.
As the tiny stallion stared down the colossal mare’s face, the breath from her nostrils pressed on him like a strong wind. Still, he stood strong as he prepared to charge.
“Alright, Crazy Horse, it’s go time!” He shouted as he ran towards the sleeping mare’s face. His legs ached as he charged towards her.
Verdant got as close as he could before leaping off the surface of the pillow and landing on her lower lip.
The shamrock stallion swallowed as he crawled forward, squeezing through her tight lips until he finally slipped through into her mouth.
“Well, at least if you survive this, you can brag that you’ve been inside a princess… Probably right before she vaporizes you.” Verdant’s small words echoed throughout the royal mouth, unheard by the slumbering alicorn.
He slid down the inside of her lip before leaping onto one of her lower teeth. Thankfully, the sleeping mare’s teeth were parted more than enough distance for him to pull himself over the tooth and land face first on her moist tongue.
Verdant rose back to his hooves as he tried to shake her saliva from his now soaked mane. He started to gently trot along the princess’ hoofball field sized tongue.
Don’t dream chew, princess. He thought to himself as he glanced around the mare’s maw. The heat was incredibly strong, like a muggy summer’s night.
After a few minutes of slow trotting, Verdant found himself under her dangling uvula. Looking down her throat, he saw the fleshy muscular tunnel that led to her stomach.
“Okay, Verdant. Time to start phase two.” He said to himself before nervously swallowing. After a moment to gather his nerves, he leapt forward and landed face first at the esophageal entrance.
On a reflex, the princess swallowed as she slept. The crushing force of her throat muscles squeezed him downward. He could only wince in pain as the muscular motions kept pressing him on.
After a thankfully brief period of time, the squeezing stopped as he was dropped into the royal stomach. A droplet like splash came as he belly-flopped into a mixture of stomach acids and digested food.
“Well,” Verdant groaned as he hoisted himself up onto what appeared to be a chunk of potato and tried to kick some of the dripping juices off his boots. “Phase two is a go. Now I’ve just got to wait for the princess to wake up.”
A silence only interrupted by the gurgle of digestion hung in the air. Verdant sat down on the potato chunk and clicked his tongue.
“Just gotta keep myself occupied while I wait,” He said as he tapped his hindlegs with his forehooves. “I’m sure I’ll find a way to keep from getting bored.”
Silence hung in the air once more as he tried to think of something to do. After another boring moment passed, Verdant could only sigh in boredom.
***
Verdant fell asleep as he floated about on his potato chunklet. He was eventually awakened by a powerful rumbling all around him.
Snapping to his hooves, Verdant tried to steady himself as the princess started to rise. It was the most intense shaking the shrunken stallion had ever experienced.
“Alright, guess phase three will be starting up fairly soon.” Verdant felt his own stomach lurch as Celestia’s hoofsteps carried him along. “I hope only one of us ends up throwing up today.”
***
Celestia gave a yawn as she strolled through her bedroom, heading towards her extravagant private bathroom. The chamber was almost entirely made from sculpted marble and gold.
“Another day, another attempt to strike against Sombra,” she mumbled to herself as she stepped into her shower.
A quick flare of her magenta magic turned a knob, causing a rain of cold water to bombard her.
“Yargh!” she screeched as the shock of the cold banished the last trace of sleepiness from her mind. “Well. There are worse ways to start the day.”
The water soon started to warm up, making the mammoth mare grin. Opening her mouth, she let some water collect until her maw was full and she swallowed it down.
“New water in. Old water out.”
***
As the water bombarded Celestia's body, it made the inside her stomach sound like the inside of a house during a heavy rain storm.
“Well, at least it’s a nice change of pace from heart beats and digestive noise.” Verdant sighed before leaning back, unintentionally falling backwards into her stomach juices.
Before he could scramble back onto what little scraps remained, a large torrent of water came crashing down into the stomach, creating waves that caused him to slam into her walls.
“NEW WATER IN. OLD WATER OUT.” The princess’s quiet comment was thunderous to Verdant as his brow rose in confusion.
“Old water out? What do you mean by-” Verdant was cut off by a distant sound of gallons of water being drained away, followed soon by the princess sighing in relief. “Eww. You pee in the shower? And I thought being a princess would mean you’d have more class than that.”
Shortly after the sound of her bladder draining had ceased, the alicorn started to moan and movement started to emanate from her towards her rear.
“Well, seems you enjoy a morning session with Mrs. Frog,” Verdant said as he felt a stirring of his own in his loins. “May I join you?”
“YES! OH FAUST, YES!” The mammoth masturbating mare exclaimed as her body continued to quake.
“Don’t mind if I do,” a dark grin came across the shamrock stallion’s face as he quickly stripped out of his garb.
***
After her rather pleasant shower and morning ritual, Celestia strolled through her palace’s halls. She would occasionally stretch her wings or neck before she made her way to the dining chamber, where she found her sister waiting for her.
“Good morning, Luna,” Celestia greeted as she strolled towards the dark blue mare. “Anything of note happen on your shift?”
“No. Last night was rather uneventful,” Luna dismissively replied as a rather frightened servant placed a plate of fruit in front of her, along with some toast and a glass of milk.
“Well, hopefully that means some fools are falling in line.” Celestia sauntered her way to her seat, where she saw a servant placing a ridiculously large stack of pancakes, along with a generous supply of scrambled eggs and hay bacon. All three foods were covered in a thick coating of maple syrup.
“You really need to diet better if you wish to topple Sombra.” Luna’s words were quickly blown off by the alabaster alicorn.
“While you’ve let your body become a bounce house, my body is a temple,” Luna smugly said before she started to drink her milk.
Celestia then gave a wicked grin. “In that all worshippers are allowed to enter.”
Luna choked and spat as the milk shot from her nose. Celestia gave a bellowing laugh as Luna glared death at her. A lesser pony she would have set on fire.
Once her laughter had died down, she stabbed into her pancakes and cut out a piece of the first seven layers before placing the moist treat into her mouth.
***
“Sweet Faust almighty, is the reason she’s so damn tall because she eats so much?” Verdant asked from the top of the mush mountain that was her breakfast.
Verdant let out a sigh as there finally seemed to be no more piles of food being dropped upon his head. After one more moment to be certain, he started to reach into his vest’s inner pocket.
“Alright. Time to be-” Verdant was silenced by the sound of an approaching waterfall. Bracing himself, he was pushed down the moist pile that was Mount Breakfast by a river of an orange colored drink.
The shamrock stallion groaned rose up from the lake of the drink, coughing to clear the recycled drink from his lungs.
“Urge… Tastes like orange juice, but burns like alcohol. Was that a mimosa?” he asked no one before shrugging.
“Oh well. Questions for later.” Verdant reached into the vest and pulled out a vial filled with a brown syrup. “Time to begin phase three.”
The emerald coated pony smashed the vial between his hooves. He was suddenly pushed back as an explosion of the brown syrup quickly started to fill the fleshy chamber.
Note to self. Verdant quickly shut his eyes and covered his mouth and nose. Be more careful when you smash a vial with a ‘bag of holding’ enchantment on it.
***
“Ah…” Celestia sighed in delight as she finished her breakfast drink. “Nothing like a mimosa to finish breakfast.”
“Personally, I’d save alcohol for later in one’s day,” Luna rolled her eyes as her sister rose from her seat and approached her.
“At any rate,” Celestia said as she arrived at Luna’s side. “I hope you have a pleasant AH!”
“Are you alright, sister?” Luna’s brown rose as Celestia grasped her belly. “You’re looking a little gre-”
Luna’s words were drowned by the geyser of vomit that launched from her sisters mouth and directly into her face. Several violent waves came from the alabaster alicorn until she collapsed against the table.
“Urgh, sister, why didn’t you aim it away from…” Luna's royal rant was silenced as she noticed an odd green spec upon her muzzle. Upon closer inspection, she saw it was an incredibly small stallion.
“Good morning, Princess.” Verdant weakly bowed as he looked into her titanic eyes. “I have a proposition to make.”
***
Verdant’s screams echoed throughout the dungeon as Celestia’s magic tightly squeezed and contorted the restored stallion as he hung suspended in the air.
“So, Verdant, I believe you said you was?” Celestia’s fearsome grin grew wider as her magic tightened further around him. “Can you give me a reason I shouldn’t have you torn to pieces and burned to death for high treason?”
“Vest… pocket…” the shamrock stallion weakly said as he tried to fight back the urge to scream or beg for death.
Luna’s horn ignited a vivid scarlet as she pulled out a vial filled with a silver liquid. Pulling it close and uncapping it, she took a quick whiff of the contents. “Hmm… Belladonna, nerium oleander and… I believe silver swamp slime. Quiet the lethal concoction.”
Tossing the vial aside, the alicorns were rather surprised by how the puddle created from the newly broken small vial greatly exceeded its size.
“So, it seems you were smart enough to get an enchanted vial to store more than enough poison to kill even someone of my size.” Celestia’s magic then swiftly pulled him down so he was floating mere inches from her face. “What makes you think trying to kill me would make me grant you some form of mercy?”
“Not trying… to kill…” Verdant mustered what little strength he had remaining to answer the alicorn. “Job… Interview…”
Celestia’s brow rose as she released her magic, causing him to drop face first to the floor. “You’ve got thirty seconds to explain yourself.”
Verdant softly coughed, feeling too sore to bother to try to rise to his hooves. “I wanted to demonstrate how my skills would be of value to you, my princess. A pony with powerful enemies could make use of a stallion who is not only a highly skilled archer, but also one who’s well versed in poisons and is capable of not only sneaking into your palace, but into your very body.”
“Well, that makes you the first stallion to be inside her in... what’s it been? Five years?” Luna coyly smirked as Celestia glared daggers at her.
“I’d never dream of causing you true harm, oh mighty Princess Celestia,” Verdant continued speaking. “I only wished to offer what services I could to you.”
A tense moment of silence hung in the air until Celestia’s horn glowed once more. This time, when the magenta light encased Verdant, it simply picked him up and placed him on his hooves.
“You seem to raise a fair point, Verdant,” the mare said as her sharp magenta eyes remained fixed on him. “What say you, Captain Barrier?”
From the shadows behind the torture racks emerged a tall, dark coated unicorn stallion with a long, jagged mane that was two shades of blue.
“I think I could make some use of this stallion, once I get him to work on the Solar Striker,” the stallion spoke with the tone of a scallywag.
“Then here’s what will happen, Verdant,” Celestia said as she leaned down so that her eyes were level with his. “You will be under Barrier’s command and required to do everything he says for the next five years or face a very slow execution. Understood?”
Verdant swallowed before trying to sound as confident as he could muster. “Yes, your highness.”
“Good,” a sinister grin graced her features as she brought a hoof to the underside of his chin. “And if I ever get the idea you’ve decided to enter my body again, I will eat you. However, this time you’ll be roasted, cut into tiny pieces and thoroughly chewed up. Understood?”
“Yes, Princess!” A faint blush came across Verdant’s muzzle as he heard his voice crack.
“Very good,” Celestia said as she started to pull away with Luna soon following suit. “Barrier, I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“Yes, your highness,” the onyx coated stallion replied as her and Luna’s horns began to glow before they vanished in a flash.
“If it makes you feel any better, you’ll probably be inside Luna in a more pleasant way within a year’s time,” Barrier said as he slung a hoof over the stallion’s shoulder and started to lead him away. “At any rate, prepare yourself for hard training and the life of a privateer, Cadet Range.”

Once again, we had a three way tie, so it falls on me to say we'll be Kicking it into High Gear.
