Ponies eagerly trotted up to Pharynx’s engorged gut, tenderly rubbing the lumpy bulge that Luna made underneath his carapace. They giggled as she thrashed around underneath their touch, until one of the prey felt a tongue whip around her neck and yank her away from the stomach, guiding her head to look into a glowing changeling throat.

“H-hey!I thought you said I’d be safe!” The prey stammered.

“I said I didn’t have more room. My loyal subject, though…” Pharynx added coyly. With a wink, he signaled the changeling to ravenously devour the prey mare. While she disappeared, another one of the belly rubbers put his ear to Pharynx’s belly.

“Aww, she’s screaming in there,” he said as he heard Luna’s muffled screams of panic.

“Oh don’t worry, she won’t be screaming for long,” Pharynx said with a belch and a chuckle. “Changeling digestive fluid has a corrupting effect on the mind. It overloads the senses with euphoria until a meal can feel nothing but complete and utter bliss.”

“Oh huh, that sounds awesome,” one of the prey belly rubbers exclaimed. “I gotta meet and changeling pred one of these days!”

“Well, our Gorbfest festival is next month. Why don’t you book at train ticket to the Hive at some travel agency? You won’t be disappointed, if you catch my drift,” Pharynx said with a wink, making the prey smile and flush red.

As Pharynx’s belly was kneaded on the outside, Luna continued to struggle on inside of his stomach. Very loud gurgling noises heralded the secretion of a glowing green liquid from the soft walls, which began to pool in great amounts at the bottom of the stomach. In a matter of minutes, the liquid reached up to her shoulders, and every attempt to lift herself out of the fluid was snuffed out by Pharynx’s powerful stomach muscles pushing her back down into the muck. She could feel a warm tingliness already and rubbing and churning worked the fluid deep into her fur and to her skin, making her heart race. She exhausted herself trying to fight against Pharynx’s overpowering stomach, forcing her to cause her screaming and stop moving as she caught her breath.

The air in the stomach was heavy and humid, and had a taste and smell that made Luna think of sour pineapples. It wasn’t a scent that she could say that she enjoyed in particular, but it wasn’t a scent she particularly minded either. She wondered how much fresh air she’d have in here, and did her best to calm herself on the reasoning that she’d use less oxygen if she wasn’t panicking. The ever-growing tingling sensation on her skin was a constant reminder that she had to think quickly, but she considered herself lucky that it wasn’t painful. In fact, taking a moment to focus on it, she realized it felt rather pleasant. The gentle rocking and pinching of her body by the surrounding stomach walls relaxed her muscles, which were aching from her fight. For now, Luna was content to let her body be kneaded and massaged as she thought up a plan to escape this harsh yet strangely comfortable prison...a plan she’d surely executed after a five minute break…

Back to the outside, the guests continued to rub Phaynx’s belly, happily aiding in the digestion of their princess. They took turns, allowing others to feel the bulges under Pharynx’s carapace slowly calm down. They continued to shift around, but everyone could tell that Luna’s fight was over. In fact, several guests blushed when they first heard a muffled moan come from within Pharynx’s powerful body.

“Yep, sounds like she’s succumbing to the enchantment,” Pharynx said as he slapped his own gut, eliciting a moan loud enough for others in the vicinity to hear. “I can definitely feel her growing love for my stomach radiating out from her…gosh, it’s intense…don’t stop rubbing…”

The changeling prince laid his head down on the pile of pillows, shifting his gut around and making it slosh about. He closed his eyes, basking in the energy that he was extracting from Luna. He had eaten several ponies before, but the love radiating from Luna was far more powerful than anything he had felt before. It radiated throughout his whole body in waves, making him feel warm and energized to the point where he began to get a little dizzy. His tongue rolled out of his mouth, and his eyes were half-shut, staring into nothingness as the pleasure coursed through him.

Indeed, on the inside of the stomach, Luna was very rapidly finding it to be more pleasant than she could have ever imagined. The tingling sensation had grown to a feeling of being tickled all across her body.It made her so sensitive that each and every touch made her body sing with pleasure. Every time the stomach walls pressed in to churn her around, moans of joys erupted from her mouth. It just felt so good that Luna could hardly believe it. In fact, she realized that it shouldn’t feel this good. This overpowering haze in her head felt like some sort of magical spell, but she was in no condition to attempt to break it.

“What’s…ughn…happening to me…it feels…too good…I can’t…think clearly…” Luna moaned to herself. The pool of gastric juices rose sinisterly as Pharynx’s stomach shrank more and more around her, bathing Luna in fluid up to her neck. She continued to breathe heavily, trying to focus through the bliss that she was very quickly drowning out all other thoughts in her head. However, it was difficult to ignore the swirling cascade of euphoria that washed over her much like the stomach fluids did, so much so that it was hard for her to notice her limbs beginning to grow numb, or that the glowing green liquid was quickly becoming a dark blue identical to Luna’s fur. Indeed, if she had a mirror, she might notice that she was beginning to look a bit less together. Dark blue droplets of goop dripped off of her, and she looking significantly more glossy in the soft light of Pharynx’s bioluminescence. Wherever Pharynx’s stomach walls kissed her body, goopy strands of melted mare well pulled away from her. Luna knew that if she didn’t find a way out soon, she’d melt like an ice cream cone on a hot summer day. But, in the back of her mind, she wondered if that would be so bad…

Pharynx rested on the pillows for two whole hours, letting guests freely come up and feel their former ruler slowly transition between the stages of digestion. Rumbles turned to gurgles as the stomach processed her, then into glorps and sloshes as Luna began to slough apart under the relentless goopification. Pharynx’s stomach smoothed out as her features melted into each other, although one could still hear faint moans even as his gut became totally round. Finally, Luna made one final, thunderous moan as her hours of mind-numbing bliss came to a climax, before finally falling silent. Pharynx could feel the last remnants of her body melt away into love soup, with a loud belch signaling his ultimate victory.

“That about does it,” Pharynx said as he began to come down from his own love-high. “She was delicious.”

“Oh, you’ve finally finished her off?” Asked the other changeling as he caressed his own round tum filled with digested mare. “What next? You gonna burp up her soul?”

“Nah, I can feel her willingly merging with me. Seems like not even princesses can resist the blissful existence within our bodies,” Pharynx said as he slowly stood up. His stomach had shrunk, but still bulged out obscenely. It would take all night to absorb every last drop of her body and essence. “I’m gonna hit the dance floor and try to work off this chub that she’s going to give me, plus it’s always nice to show off to the ponies that not even their ruler could stop herself from being a meal for us.”

The changeling subject giggled, licking his lips and falling back into a food coma as the club slowly returned to normal.
