The path of the heart

by Max Ksenofil

First published 6th of January, 2021

The story of a man exploring a new world, into which he fell not by chance.

All life is a game and people like ponies are actors in it. The story will unfold at the whim of certain royalty who think that their life in Equestria for subjects (little ponies) has become somewhat boring and mundane. Here Discord is ready to help with this: by bringing a new creature into the world of bed ponies.
Note: The story has a romantic part, with elements of adventure and sex scenes of a man on a pony.

Prologue

Equestria, the city of Canterlot.

A typical winter December day. Two people sat at a table in the castle dining room. One was snow-white with a magically- curly mane of indeterminate vibrant colors, the other dark blue with a mane the color of the night sky. And they were the Alicorn Princesses, two sisters, Celestia and Luna day and night.

There weren't many emotions on their faces, mostly empty bored expressions. But Celestia, while she slowly sipped her morning tea, came up with an interesting idea, after which she put her cup aside and squinted with a smirk on her face, she looked towards the bored Moon. Luna noticed this and, folding her hooves on her chest, looked at her sister with a questioning look, but decided not to wait for her sister's comments and asked first.

" You look pensive, my sister, please do not make me suffer from him and sweat my curiosity. Plus, you know it's time for me to go take a nap."

"Oh, I haven't forgotten about it Luna, I just have an idea how to fix the vital situation of our little ponies. We will not talk about many, but only some of them, but in the end it will affect a large part of the population."

"Go on, I'm wondering what's on your mind."

The white princess levitated her cup of tea to herself and after drinking a little decided to put everything clean, so as not to torment her younger sister."But for this we need to invite..." She did not have time to finish, as something came out of her mane with a magic clap. That was their old enemy and now a good friend named Discord. "HERE I AM! Oh, Sellie, don't pretend like in the tens of thousands of times I've done this trick on you. Yes yes I still can't get into your mind, but I can definitely feel your call on an emotional level."

After that, the Lord of Chaos jumped out of the princess's mane and sat down at the table in the middle, placing his different hands behind his head and crossing the same chaotic legs, put them on the table in a daring manner. Well, he knows perfectly well that he is allowed to behave like that. After all, who is the Lord of Chaos?

Both princesses smiled slightly and greeted their unexpected guest. Although from which side to look at it. In fact, Celestia had only warm, kind feelings for Discord no matter what. As for the princess of the Moon, then, by and large, everything was smooth. Although she was not averse to occasionally taking part in a conversation with him, well, perhaps a few pranks of her sister. But that is another story. Celestia made her offer without hesitation.

"Can some tea before we start our discussion?"

"Oh no thanks, I had a hearty breakfast, and your teas will soon turn me inside out! No seriously, can you offer at least something stronger this time?" Luna's eyes lit up at the idea, and she doesn't mind dropping a couple of glasses of their best wine before going to bed.

Celestia put on a sullen face and looked reproachfully at her sister.

"You know, Discord, I would love to, but sitting on the throne during the next conference with a floating gaze is not befitting a royal person! And yes, I know that you and Luna secretly get drunk sometimes ..." And hanging her head in sadness exhaled. But still, after a few seconds, she added, pulling on a sly smile." Although I would like to be your accomplice."Discord mysteriously winked at the Night Princess and, turning to Celestia, decided to put a little pressure on her weak point.

"Well, who would say? I've known you for too long! And even about your stash behind the throne! Celestia was embarrassed by such a revelation, because she was clearly caught, but she remembered that she was in a narrow circle of her loved ones and decided to tactfully leave this topic."

"I have no doubt that you know a lot of my Discord secrets, but we are in this room only in three (and made half-closed eyelids), so we need your friendly help! Than embarrassed Discord in the opposite direction and continued."

"We all know the setup in our kingdom. The beloved and most anticipated holiday of the Warming Hearth is approaching! But the problem is that from year to year this event resembles already um ... how to put it? Bored! Always the same, although foals love it, some older ponies can't find their happy moments. And it's not just about holidays in general, how much the happiness of some ponies really slips away from them. I want to say that while my former student, and now the current princess Twilight Sparkle, is having fun with her friends, every time they get into different adventures, some ponies clearly feel left out." Discord tipped his head onto the table and nearly deflated like a balloon. Yes, he hadn't heard the princess's ravings for a long time, but such was this old-minded mare. Although, to be honest, she looked pretty sexy, well, for her thousands of years.

"And what do you want from me the God of Chaos, my dear Selly? What would I have made someone happy by creating him adventures, tossed a couple of three problems, from which the fur of some ponies would stand on end? Oh yeah, I understand what you are driving at." And putting his hand to his chin added. "Oh, you mischievous!"

In fact, the princess, known for her exceptionally experienced machinations, has repeatedly turned to Discord for help. The truth is that only he Celestia and Luna know about it. This side of the Sun Princess is no longer known to a single soul.
"Yes, you are right, my friend, but this time we need something new, such that when we read newspapers or listen to the radio news channel, not only the hair on my back stood on end, but my tail began to rush in anticipation! I hope you understand me?" (and winked seductively at him) She loved such games with Discord especially. She liked to take her charm on many, but the God of Chaos is a separate story, because he is almost her age ...

Luna just grinned at her sister's behavior and decided to get Discord's attention by doing her bit. Until they (Discord and Celestia) began kissing each other with tongues, the Night Princess thought sarcastically to herself. "I remember one of our tumultuous days with the drinks from Beri Punch, you mentioned that you have a distant friend who owes you. I don’t know how you can have distant friends or relatives?"

"In general, he is my brother from another world and I really haven't seen him for a long time. But okay, go on, I really don't quite understand what you're getting at. Maybe you think that we should, together with him, bring down all our chaos on Equestria, and then again be walled up in a statue for a millennium? No sorry, I'm sick of being a stand for local fauna, especially birds!"

Luna wrinkled her brow in bewilderment, clearly not liking when she was considered mentally retarded in serious conversations. "No and no again! I wanted to offer you something unique." Then she added, smiling broadly. "You can attract a new living being from his world, preferably a man, if I correctly understand my sister's hints." And, turning to Celestia, she playfully raised her eyebrows, which made her face red.

The white princess alicorn, elegantly as befits her feminine, royal, got up from the table and went up to her sister to hug her with her hooves and gently pinch her on the lips. Than in principle I arranged a small show for their guest! This is clearly not the first time the discord has watched such a scene, and has not escaped some excitement.

"Well that's a great idea, my dear Luna! I don’t think there will be any difficulties, I mean when creating portals and other things. Do you have any special requests, Selly, for our future candidate for this world?"

" I don't think so. I will completely trust you in this matter."

"Well, then I think I'll arrange everything just in time for the Hearth-Day!" Discord teleported next to the princesses and hugged them behind their necks, after which he winked at Princess Luna and whispered in her ear.

"The offer to drink before you sleep is still valid, you know I will keep you company! Than earned the blush and shine in the eyes of the night princess, and the rolled eyes of his girlfriend's sun-ass."

"I think we've already decided everything." Celestia happily gave her comment and went into the throne room, leaving the two alone. But she stopped in front of the doors and turned around and added. "Remember this event must take place no later than three days before the holiday!"

On that and decided. Now this whole adventure falls into the hands of Discord. There are only three weeks left until the scheduled event. And the princesses are clearly rushing him, which also pleased the God of Chaos. Here only one difficulty remains, namely, to persuade his brother from the earthly kingdom to assist with the search for the necessary creature and its preparation.

Глава 1

Earthly world. Russia city S.

Today it is abnormally cold and I definitely need to hurry home to start looking for a new job. Otherwise, the New Year and Christmas, I will spend sad and dry. "Hmm, it's not fun at all!" Not so long ago, he was an ordinary employee of the railway transport, but after time and some of his hobbies for a freer life, he wanted to leave this place and occupy himself with something more interesting and necessary.

Arriving home, I decided that I would start looking for vacancies on my computer, since I don't want to eat and I need to keep myself busy with useful things. Hmm, uh, living alone has both pros and cons. My old friends are too passionate about personal and family affairs, so we don't meet often. And to be honest, I don't feel comfortable among them. Perhaps I still haven't matured? I don't know, I think time will tell and give its answers. And now, in my 30s, I am a single man who longs for love, romance and other sugary ideas heh.

Without hesitation, I chose the first job site by guessing and began my search in various categories. In general, a boring occupation, but there is nowhere to go. "Wow, this seems like a tempting offer! The research center of the city of S. requires a candidate for a research and search mission, payment due to increased danger is a decent number ............... Call from 8:00 to 20:00. Chief professor of the project X."

I read this ad several times and honestly it confused me a little.Although I did not think for a long time, and since the time was right, I dialed the professor's number.

"Hello to you! I just saw your ad on the site, I'm calling about working on a research mission." On the other end of the line, a strange, but interested, cheerful voice from a man of about fifty answered.

"Yes, hello, my name is Professor Alekseev, tell me it will be convenient for you to come up in the very near future? Oh and do not be embarrassed by this demand, it is really a matter of life and death, as well as science in the name of humanity!"
Wow, what what, but his words sound just like in a Hollywood movie ... And then I was clearly distressed by his words, but I gave my consent. What could be so bad in the end? Let it be known to you that I am friends with my head, but I often listen to my heart, as a result of which I made quite a few mistakes, but from their consequences I only smiled and acquired a very good experience.

"Yes, I will arrive as soon as possible at the indicated address and take the necessary documents with me." On the other end of the phone, I heard a happy exclamation, as if I were delighting them with a win.

"That's glorious Maxim! Waiting for you." Looking at my watch, I decided to collect everything I needed and, putting on warm clothes, I locked my house and took a taxi to this mysterious place. Hmm .. I've never heard of this research center. Well, it will probably be interesting! It's high time to change something in your life ... And now the bait in the person of our main character named Maxim is heading into a trap about which he will not know until it is too late to think about it. Good or bad for him, time will tell ...

A typical bald scientist met me outside his office. I would like to note that while I was walking to the administrative building, it was almost deserted, and I was greeted by the only spruce standing near the building. I stopped for a short while next to her to admire the spruce swaying in the wind, but my eyes lit up from the upcoming interview and even admit, I could not hide my excitement. I greeted my potential employer, to which he responded in kind and invited me on the shoulder to go into his office on the third floor. As I expected, we passed the security post and he put his pass to the elevator, after a short wait the doors opened and we smoothly drove to the specified floor. When we were driving, he warned me that I would not feel worries from what I saw, since this complex has several robotic assistants and other technologies that I will get to know later.

Walking down the corridor to his office, I saw a couple of women scientists in white coats and unusual-looking glasses. These glasses were larger and had some kind of technological functions, because as I noticed the similarity of displays with the reflection of the computer menu. And a robot also walked past us, but what surprised me was that he was on four legs and outwardly looked like a small horse, only without a mane and a tail. One can only imagine the expression on my face and the thoughts that were spinning in my head. The professor seems to have noticed my almost hidden reaction and, with a grin, offered to enter his office.

When I sat down on a chair at his desk opposite him, at his invitation, he took out a folder with papers from the desk and handed them to me.

"I give you time to read this agreement and sign it at the end. Then I am ready to answer your questions about the essence of your work." Having skimmed through the boring text of the agreement, I stopped at one point of interest to me. It said that from the moment of signing, I undertake to hand over my phone, I will not have any connection with the outside world, except for a special connection and only within the complex! No internet! Move around the complex only with the admission of the level assigned to me. Before putting my signature, I looked inquiringly at Alekseev.

"Is it really so serious? I hope I won't regret it." And without waiting for his answer, I signed it. I hope I didn’t do anything stupid. Because it won’t be funny!

I put my phone and charger on his desk. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow, but without saying a word he put it in the safe, after having glued a tag with my data to it. Then, crossing his arms over his chest, he looked at me piercingly and began his instructions.

"And so Maxim, welcome to the research complex for the study of abnormal activity! The first stage of your work will be a two week preparation. Today you will rest in your room, and tomorrow you will pass all the necessary tests with fresh energy. Take your tests, after lunch in our cafeteria I will take you on a short tour and familiarize you with the equipment. You will learn how to use it, because with this equipment you will be dropped into the abnormal zone, conventionally called the "Air Portal". And yes, interrupting you on a question that has arisen, you will indeed be parachuted into a classified section of airspace, and before that you will conduct three test jumps with our instructors." After a little appraising glance at my reaction and making sure I listen carefully, I continued. "On the third day, you will undergo a special procedure that will help you learn the skills better. I call it the "Crash Course Catalyst"! You will see everything yourself, it is a painless process. Oh yes, here is your pass, it is marked in green, these are the places that you are allowed to visit at this stage."

After some deliberation, I decided to ask him a few questions."Can I get information on the upcoming assignment?"

“You will receive it, but not in full, otherwise you will not be able to sleep well!” After which he expressed on his face his readiness to listen carefully to my question.

"Has anyone already landed in this area before me?"

"Yes, several flying drones. They were able to cross the border of space and find themselves on the other side of the portal! But the information that they transmitted could not be obtained in full. And after about an hour, their activity ceased. We do not know what happened to them. But we have already analyzed something. For example, the composition of the air and climatic conditions were as similar as possible to the terrestrial!" Then he smiled broadly and added. "And like a cherry on the cake, here's something else for you: this is another planet and it is inhabited!"

This answer will really make me fall asleep today! It seems that my eyes began to twitch and thoughts clouded my loaded head even more.

"Sorry professor, you mean I will be the first living being, a person who will visit another inhabited world? And what am I supposed to do there? What is my assignment?"

The scientist put his hand to his forehead and sighed calmly. "You will indeed be the first human tester, but you will have a robot assistant with you, and other equipment with which I will familiarize you later. You will receive the rest of the instructions during preparation. And now, let me take you to your room, try to rest." He noticed my excitement on his face and decided to cheer me up in a fatherly voice. "I understand that a really responsible mission falls on your shoulders, but no matter what situation you find yourself in on another side of the portal, just be yourself."

After the end of the conversation, Professor Alekseev accompanied me to my room and strongly recommended that I rest and come to the dining room for lunch. I just wanted to ask him how not to get lost, but he interrupted my thoughts. "Do not forget your pass, there is a robot guide at the entrance to the living area. Just contact him and he will answer your questions regarding the direction."

Closing the door behind Maxim, the professor smiled ominously and his eyes flashed with a lightning sheen, after which he snapped his fingers. Meanwhile, in the room, sitting down on the bed with a thoughtful look, our hero, feeling very tired, plunged into sleep.

Visions while sleeping.

What? Where I am? And how the hell did I fall asleep? Am I sleeping at all? The thoughts that I spoke out loud were heard only by me, but there was no answer. I have to be careful with what I got myself into. It looks like trouble ... My thoughts did not last long as this clear dream began to transform the picture in front of me. In it, I stood on a cloud, in the night sky, among many stars. But that's not all, I looked around and saw a figure descending in the middle of this sky, in shape it reminded me of a small horse with wings! And the horn? I wish I knew what the hell is going on here !? The blue horse came closer to me with its wings folded, but here's its mane and tail! Heh I'm not a drug addict, but I definitely liked what I saw. This horse's mane and tail swayed in a wind that didn't exist! And in appearance they resembled all the same night starry sky! The horse smiled at me and bowed, then spoke. Which I was not surprised.

"I am the princess of the night and the ruler of the kingdom of dreams, Luna Equestria, glad to welcome you a wanderer! Tell me what is your name?"

But I did not answer right away, as I was impressed by what was happening. I think you can understand me. I am in a dream and everything is so ... different? At the same time, some kind of blue, horse princess is talking to me! But looking at her with a more appraising look, I noticed that although she is a small horse with wings and a horn, she looks definitely beautiful. She looked like she noticed my gaze and raised one eyebrow. I cleared my throat slightly, yet did not make her wait long.

"Sorry, Princess Luna, right?"

"It's true. "

"Do not misunderstand me! My name is Maxim, but ... You can explain to me. What's happening? How did you end up in my dream and so I clearly accept you as a reality more than it can be?"

The princess gave me a slight smile, but before giving an answer, she gracefully approached me so close that I began to feel her real body with every nerve! Her head, not counting the horns, reached my chin. She then unfolded one of her wings and ran it down my back, watching my reaction. And the reaction was natural! I felt tickled, from which I blushed deep into her.

“If you want to stroke my ears, you will see that in a dream I am reality itself ..." Yes, I did as she suggested. My right hand, slightly trembling, slowly passed behind her ears and fingers touched her magical mane. They do not convey the description to the touch. You just need to feel it yourself, but close to cool, but not scalding water.

"Um ... it's not so usual." I said with difficulty believing in what was happening. "But I like it. By far the best dream of my life. Where are you, princess of the night, and I am a stranger in your kingdom." I smiled at her sincerely and added. "We stand on a cloud in the night sky and stroke each other!" It seems my last words made her blush a little. Wow, is she embarrassed?

"I don't have much time with you Maxim! But I give you my great word, we will meet again!"
And her image began to blur before my eyes. Which made me very, very sad. Cursed magic horses in your dreams who come to tease you! With these thoughts, I began to wake up.

Oh yes, the professor, of course, gave me a rest, but I'm hungry. I said to myself, and looking at the clock on the bedside table, I looked around the room for the last time and decided it was time to go to the dining room, and at the same time establish my first contact with the surrounding staff. Especially with these robots! I think it will be funny. Although I still can't get this blue horse out of my head, and even the princess! Looks like a jackpot! Hehe. With these thoughts in mind, I wandered into the bathroom to carry out the washing procedure. Looking in the mirror, I stretched and scratched my back, but when I sensed something foreign I scraped it off with my fingers to see what I found. “My eyes widened in surprise!
"AAAA !!!" And I fell on my ass with a frightened look. "What the hell was that !?" In my hands I was holding a small shiny blue feather! I quickly jumped up, ran into the room and began to examine my bed, on which for some unknown reason I passed out and slept for only an hour. But having carefully examined the bed linen, I made sure that there were no such feathers in its contents, especially in the pillow.

"So was it a dream? Or do they check me here, test some prescriptions on me? What should I do with you? " I asked, still looking at this pen. "Perhaps, when I meet with the professor, I will give him a problem for my questions." I put the feather in the inner pocket of my vest and decided to end my day with a scouting trip to the cafeteria. Leaving the residential area using my pass, I found the indicated robot guide in the hallway. And then my gears started spinning in my head. All the robots I met during this time resembled uh ... ponies? Only without hair, mane and tail. But the structure of their limbs clearly indicated this. Definitely not copies of dogs! The questions in my head only increased when I noticed that I had been standing in front of the robot for three minutes. And then his eyes lit up with green lights and rays of the same color scanned my pass, which is cheerful around my neck. A mechanical voice, as befits robots, spoke to me.

"How can I help you sir? I am a robotic guide dedicated to helping staff with a green badge."

"Um ... yes. Please escort me to the staff cafeteria of my level." The robot started up and turned from its place and walked while saying.

"Of course sir! Follow me!" I rolled my eyes and mentally swore that I had to endure unimaginable difficulties. But I signed up for them myself, so I'm not complaining. It's just that it's all unusual for me so far, but I'll get used to it!

The weirdness of this evening was that I did not meet human staff, only robots. Even in the dining room! Which is no less surprising. At the end of my dinner, I asked the robot if I could get some work clothes for tomorrow. And can I see Professor Alekseev? But the robot answered in detail and clearly.

"Your clothes are in the room, in the closet, you can use everything you need in your room. Professor Alekseev will come for you tomorrow at nine in the morning. Try to be prepared. Can I help you with something else?"

"No thanks for the info um ... how can I call you?"

"Contact me simply: Assistant."

After scratching my chin, I said goodbye to the robot pony and decided to examine the contents of my room. In the closet I found a work gown, overalls, and other similar clothes for work in the complex. In general, nothing interesting. There was a shelf of books next to the cabinet. Not a TV, and of course there was no computer, boredom. It did have a nice shower room, a writing desk and a swivel chair. That's all the conditions. And since there was still time before sleep, I took out of my pocket this little enigmatic pen to study it better. Fortunately, I found a magnifying glass in the table, in addition to writing utensils. Looking at the feather with a magnifying glass, I noticed stars sparkling like in the sky.

I remembered my short but wonderful dream. My meeting with Princess Luna, as she called herself. "True?" - I thought in conversation with myself. “I already understood who she is, but Equestria, her home? In the end, she told me almost nothing ... "

Only her eyes looking into mine and the touch of her wing on my back told me more. She would like to see me more often, and I can give myself an account. I agree with her! It is a fleeting sensation, our touch, a noticeable spark in our eyes. Heh, what am I thinking about? Am I nuts? But the blue feather in my hands says otherwise! And my mind entered into a struggle with the feelings of my heart. I liked her, although she is a magic pony from the land of dreams ... I decided it was time to take a shower and try to sleep. This is how I expected to see her again.

But in the dream she never visited me again.

The next morning the alarm went off at seven in the morning and I cheerfully got out of bed, carefully filling it up and headed to the bathroom.Having quickly coped with all the morning procedures, including a light breakfast, I began to calmly wait for my boss. As it is, by nine in the morning, he entered my room and turned to me with an easy smile.

"Good morning Maxim! How did you sleep? I see you still have a lot of questions, so today you are a lucky person, you will receive the answers and start the preparatory phase."

"And good morning to you, Mr. Alekseev! I slept really well. But there is one thing ... " After briefly recounting his visions and showing him the quill, the professor resolutely gave his notebook and began to write. Then he put the feather in a special box and looked intently into my eyes.

"Congratulations on your first contact son! In fact, your statement is interesting, but not unique!" I raised my eyebrows in surprise and asked him. "What? Why do you say that? Has anyone already encountered this?"

“In fact, yes! Everyone who works in this complex has gone through this. But these cases are not regular. And we assume it is related to the portal. The only thing that sets you apart is the contact left to you from another world." He pointed with his eyes at a transparent plastic box that contained a blue feather, and added in a serious tone. "We have to send this sample for research!"

“Oh yes, of course, Professor, although I would really like to keep it for myself later. But I understand that I work here for the sake of science."

"Don't be frivolous. Now please put on your white clothes and follow me. You need to donate blood for analysis, etc. Then you will be checked by sensors. Finally, you will be hooked up to a crash course. These are all the same sensors only for the head. Heh! Don't worry, let's start our day."

"Well, I'm still waiting!" I finished the conversation and put on a work gown, as it was according to Alekseev's plan.

After spending a boring half day testing, I suddenly remembered uh ... robotic ponies.

"Professor, may I ask?"

"Speak freely."

"And why do all your robots look like ponies, well, or their semblance?" And then he looked at me with an impassive face, after a little thought, took off his glasses and gave me an answer. "Starting with the fact that Project X is well funded, so you could see about a dozen robots on all floors.But that's why they look like four-legged creatures, as you have already noticed, ponies, this is because our project is connected with the upcoming contact in another world and as you know their inhabitants look approximately the same, only alive. his vision is an inhabitant of the world on the other side of the portal. So why exactly ponies and why do you not meet other people in your sector of admission green, you ask? I answer this done with the aim that you would begin to get used to this particular form of life with which you will go make contact, you may not see people for a long time. By the way, today you will get to know your partner on the upcoming mission and from now on he will be with you all the time, even in your room!"

"I think it makes sense." I briefly replied and after thinking a little over his answer suddenly realized what awaited me. Sighing, I asked him. "Professor, what is my test result?" He turned to the computer, looked at something, took a surprised look, turning his back to me, wrote down the results and put them in the archive.

"So let me get you up to speed first!"

"Oh, I'm all in the attention of the professor!" He looked at me seriously and I saw sparks in his eyes, after which he snapped his fingers. And then I fell into a trance for a while. I heard a completely different voice from him, an echo echoed in my ears.

"From now on, you must forget your name! Your new name is Heart Path! Remember this! And now on a clap you repeat to me what your name is! "He clapped his boots and I came to myself from a trance. With difficulty I focused my eyes on him, but was serious in my tone.

"My name is Heart Path!"

"That is great!"

What happened to me?

The professor pulled this device out of the safe, similar to virtual reality glasses, only not so bulky, but more compact, and handed them to me along with a brochure with instructions.

"Here, keep this your kit! These high-tech glasses perform a number of functions, including communication through a small earpiece. Their functions include: magnification like binoculars, night vision, thermal imager, as well as a built-in computer and a camera powered by your voice. Any commands will be executed on your behalf and voice. To activate these glasses when you turn on this button, you will have to give your name. Well, in general terms, read the instructions for using them tonight." Wow cool! Now I will begin to dispel my boring evenings.

"Thanks professor! When can I see my assistant robot?"

"After lunch, he will be waiting for you, your room. Remember this expensive equipment! Treat it appropriately! By the way, your robot pony can give you detailed instructions and advice about your glasses. Your pony robot is a better model. You will learn the rest from him. In general, for today you are free, but tomorrow we will start practice with something that will be a surprise for you for now."

Forty minutes later, I returned from the dining room to my room and noticed a new, mmm, face! Yes, and this robot pony was sitting like a dog near the table, I really noticed his difference from the rest of the assistants. In the first it was slightly larger, in the second it had a blue HAIR COVER. He also had a short mane and tail! Hahah they are really jokers, these scientists! The eyes were as if alive, but they clearly did not move and there were no muscles. In general, this is a good emulation. I came closer and squatted in front of him, by the way his mane and tail were silvery. Waving my hand in front of those lifeless eyes, I thought that it will take some getting used to, especially if I wake up at night out of need!

"Em ... Hi! Can you hear me?" The robot pony turned its head to me and met my gaze, and then his mouth opened and smiled? This is definitely news! Where has technology got to?

"Hello to you Heart Path!" He stretched out his paw (hoof) to me for the purpose of shaking hands? "I ask you not to be surprised! I am a more perfect model of the assistant robot. My name is Night Fog." I reached out my hand in response and gently shook that robotic hoof heh. Looking into those eyes, I decided to ask the first thing that came to mind.

"Why Night Fog?"

"I have the function of throwing a smoke screen when necessary. And also to pull a wagon with a load, well, in general, I will be your assistant in your mission. Do not get bored with me. Oh yes, I have a function to play music, this command is performed using your glasses ser. About ten thousand different tracks are uploaded to my hard disk."

"Fine! This is truly amazing news! Think we can be friends?"

"Of course sir! If you have any questions or requests, let me know."

I took off my shoes and lay down on the bed, indulging in thought. Hmm ... I have to leave my world in twelve days and may not return. By the way, proceeding from the information received from the professor, I already know that after landing I will have to find the missing drones in order to remove information from them. Then, when meeting with the local population, I must act as a goodwill messenger from my world to transfer a cargo of some goods, books about our world history and the like that I see after opening the container, well, or implement them for another purpose, depending on the circumstances ... Then, if all goes well for some time among the natives, the exact time is still unknown. And if the portal in the opposite direction is still working, return safely to earth. After which I will complete my mission and I will receive my fee. The amount indicated on the papers was consistent with my work. Simply put, I would not have earned that much in my entire life!

But what if everything goes according to a different storyline? And not as rosy as it seems to me? In this case, I have a protocol called "Assimilation" in order to survive in a new world for me. And since I read this point in the contract, I still subscribed to it! I hope I won't regret anything. And if the local population of that world, everyone is as cute as Princess Luna, then I will find something to do with myself in that world! Yes, I definitely will not be alone, the Night Mist will be with me, my faithful assistant. By the way, the following question arises and I looked at my robot.

"Hey Night Fog? Do you have combat functions? You know, in case of emergency situations. You know that putting on a smoke screen is certainly fun, but I would like something more weighty when it gets hot!"
The mist turned its head to me and smiled again. Heh I like this robot, honestly!
"Yes, Heart Path, you need not worry! I will cover your ass with more than smoke if combat protocol is activated!"
I blinked a few times in surprise when I learned that this robot can speak in this style in the same way as his answers in general.

"Are you serious? And what is this for example?"

"In addition to these hooves, I have built-in small arms from the "Whirlwind" system. The ammunition pass is limited, but I am able to reload myself. One of the containers that will be sent with us will contain ammunition, including your weapon. "

"Wow, this is a really serious statement, but the professor did not tell me about it!"

"The professor has provided me as a trusted assistant with access to this information." I sighed with some relief, then stared at the ceiling and spoke in a prankish tone.

"Well, I think we'll arrange a dance for them there!" The robot released a semblance of laughter, but not like other mechanical ones, but rather more alive.

"Haha I think you're right sir! I will not let you get bored and I will not give you offense. Of course, if I'm near, and you are in danger."

"Yes, I feel that you will be a good friend!"

The next day.

Today is the third day of my stay in the complex and the professor promised me some kind of surprise. And here I am standing in some kind of closed hangar with my robot, waiting for the professor to leave the equipment storage room, having a red clearance. Where I was denied entry. So he appeared with two cases and went to the table, put them down and called me over. I looked at the Night Fog, cracked my neck and went to inspect the contents of the cases.

"What are these strange gloves, Mr. Alekseev? They weigh a couple of kilograms, that's for sure!"

"Let me introduce you to one of our experimental gear, Amplifier Gloves! Yeah, these kids weigh that much until you put them on! Try it!"

I put on first the left, then the right glove that ended in front of the elbows. And he looked inquiringly at the professor.
"Well, and they are still heavy for extravagant clothes, although not so much that it would be impossible to get used to them!"

"Yes it is! Now put on your glasses and activate the protocol, amplifier." I did as he said. The glasses gave confirmation to the team and through their lenses I saw that my seals began to glow along the contours. Three-barreled mini-guns, about fifteen centimeters long, jumped out of the superstructure from each hand. Wow, I feel like some kind of Futuristic warrior, magician. Immediately I stopped feeling the weight of these gloves by about two times.

"What's next, professor? I really feel like something is pushing my muscles!"

"Now let's go to the training room."

After we entered this so-called training hangar, he took with him a second case with a red handle and put it on one of the boxes. In this room were several mannequins made of wood, as well as many boxes of different sizes. The professor sat down on one of the boxes and gave me a command.

"Activate gravity mode with your voice command!"

"Mode activated!"

"Now put both hands on that heavy metal box and lock the target!" As soon as I gave the command, pointing my hands at the indicated object, red and blue similar to electric rays flew out of them and entangled the box.

"Well, do not be shy and lift it up and put it on another box." I showed some mental stress and the glasses passed the command to the gloves, after which I began to smoothly rise the drawn target.

"Wow, I like that professor! And what is the maximum weight they can lift?"

"About three centners, no more. But I ask you not to flatter yourself, these kids also have a drawback. Unfortunately, the battery will last for a maximum of twelve hours with active use. But they can self-charge from the sun, as well as from a regular network. A full charge from the sun will be eight hours, from the network only two. But the question is that we do not know how things are with energy in that world! Therefore, use them only when necessary and save the charge." After that the professor made sure that I carefully learned the lesson and after consolidating my practice, continued. "This is not their only function! Activate Combat mode."

"Done! Battle mode is on!"

"And now move any hand to one of the wooden manikins. Still grab the target and issue the Shock Strike order! And hit all six targets."

After I aimed one hand at one manikin, and the other at the other, and capturing the targets in the same blue-red rays, I made a command. After the command, both targets are scattered by the lightning strike, leaving behind a smoldering residue. The most sinister grin stretched across my face and I went into the blast with the remaining targets. Having experienced new emotions on myself, I turned to the professor and, as a combat pilot, made a report.

"Ser, all specified targets are destroyed! What orders will there be?" The professor only chuckled at my emerging enthusiasm.

"Heh yes! See that distant target? Also only rubber manikin. Zoom into this target with your glasses and activate the

"Silent" mode, then fire one of the hands. You will notice that a crosshair will appear in the goggles to help you correct aiming." I feel like some kind of robocop. Nevertheless, I fired a silent shot from my right hand, and saw that one of the barrels was slightly smoking. After bringing the glasses closer, I saw a dart sticking out approximately in the center of the target. The professor did not delay himself with an explanation.

"These are darts with sleeping pills, they are designed to eliminate living targets, with a non-lethal outcome. As you can see, you only have three barrels on each glove. Take this into account for tactical purposes, you will be reloading manually. We'll be re-training this week with these miracle gloves, but for now, take them off."

After resting for a couple of minutes after putting both gloves in the case, I decided to ask the professor what was in the other case.

"And this is a Glock 20 pistol! You will practice shooting yourself every day. But let me remind you of this deadly weapon and it is intended solely for self-defense! This means that you do not open this case unnecessarily! You understood me!?"

"I understood everything sir! Weapon only in case of self-defense!"

"Well, now you're free for today. From tomorrow you will be parachute jumping. The weather is right for that."

And so time passed and my preparation ended. I successfully jumped and trained with equipment and with my robot. But the hour was approaching when I had to go to meet my fate in a new world for me. With a thoughtful look, sitting in the helicopter, I received the last instruction from my boss.

"From the beginning we lower the cargo from four containers, then we will drop you off! " Alekseev shouted to me. "That blue is the Night Fog! You must free him first, he will help you with the rest! Do not be afraid, he will pull your caravan from the remaining three boxes Trust him, your equipment and YOURSELF! Ha ha ha! And good luck with the Heart Path! "

"Thanks sir! It will not be superfluous to me. Hope we meet again!" After my cargo was sent into the abyss above the abnormal accumulations of energy, I stepped over the threshold of the helicopter and flew!

Sitting in the helicopter, Professor Alekseev watched his parcels go into the portal. "Now we are with you in the calculation, brother Chaos ..." And sparks flashed from his eyes. After about ten minutes, the portal disappeared, leaving behind the usual accumulation of clouds ...

Author's Notes:

What will happen next with our hero and his robot assistant? The time will come and everyone will show their cards.

Chapter 2

Trixie's dream.

Trixie bowed to the crowd at the end of her epic performance and, enjoying the clatter of hooves and flowers flying at her, turned to leave the stage. But then a cloud of fog enveloped her legs and yanked her into the sky. Trixie looked around in shock, standing in the void and seeing nothing but the blue fog and the door on top, from which the Lady of Dreams descended to meet her.

Luna stood in front of Trixie and she bowed to her. After a short exchange of greetings, the princess was the first to speak in proper etiquette.

“Please get up, my little pony. By right, this is not necessary when we are in your dream."

“Sorry, princess, but it’s hard for me to break this habit, especially since I owe you a lot. How can Trixie serve you?" Then Trixie stood up and looked her princess in the eyes. She has always admired the youngest alicorn princess. And respect, as well as love for her, grew even more, only after she became her intercessor and secret patroness.

Two years have passed since the arrest. She was charged with disorderly conduct that led to the destruction of the city of Ponyville. The judge handed down a conviction, according to which she was to pay a fine. But the amount was prohibitive for her. She would have had to work almost for free for two years, and her magical activities no longer brought the same income as before. And at that moment, when despair overtook the great and powerful Trixie, Princess Luna entered the courtroom. She stopped next to the defendant and wrapped her wing. Trixie looked at the princess with a mixture of fear and surprise. Luna looked at her little pony with a gentle and loving look, and then spoke softly. "Everything will be fine, Trixie, now you are under my protection and jurisdiction." She then turned to the judges and, in a loud Canterlot voice that was unmatched, made everyone in the courtroom, including Trixie herself, fall to the floor and press their hooves to their ears. True, this action did not help. “ACCUSED BEATRIX LULAMOON UNDER MY PROTECTION! AND THE POWER GIVEN TO ME AS ONE OF THE PRINCESS OF THE EQUESTRIAN KINGDOM, I WILL REPLACE THE JUDGMENT! Then her horn glowed blue, and the scroll with the royal seal fell on the table in front of the judges.

Luna pulled Trixie out of her memories by waving a hoof in front of her face. “Living in dreams is good, but I need your attention.” Luna said, embarrassing the unicorn sitting in front of her.

"Oh sorry princess! I am listening to you carefully."

“This afternoon you give up your plans and go to Canterlot Palace. There is a more detailed condition: you need to follow the road leading to the northern gate of the city. This means bypassing Ponyville. And be sure to bring to us someone who will be met on your way. And don't ask who exactly, I can't tell you, such a prerequisite. This is your assignment agent. On the way, you will meet another friend of ours, he will give you an explanation. Remember this secret assignment for you, act according to the circumstances, improvise! Do you understand Trixie?"

"I will obey your orders, princess! I understand that I will have to hold celebrations in Canterlot?"

"Yes, my little pony. Upon completion of the assignment, you will receive your reward and you can hold celebrations in Canterlot in one of the expensive hotels."

"Thank you Princess Luna, I promise I won't let you down!" Trixie responded with a short bow.

Luna walked over to her agent and sniffed her face in an intimate gesture: "Now it's time to wake up, see you soon, Trixie."

It's been ten minutes since Trixie stretched, yawned, and got out of bed. Just yesterday she checked into a cheap roadside hotel. It was a wonderful day outside! It is clear and not cold here, which means you can continue on your way. The thought of partying in Canterlot lifted her spirits. But the fact that on the bypass road it was necessary to follow the princess's plan and even meet someone there did not give much cheerfulness! But she is great and strong to handle such a task. In the end, she confessed to Princess Luna. What could go wrong? Having paid the hotel administrator for a light breakfast, it was good that it was included in the service, pulled her favorite scarf around her neck and went to the parking lot, where her brand new carriage was parked.

Tying herself to the carriage and remembering the task, she jumped up and down, dancing with happiness. "YES Canterlot wait for me! I'll have to go shopping and maybe finally get to know some kind of stallion who will be so cute, admire my talents." The sorceress smiled to herself, imagining pictures of intimate actions in an expensive hotel room and hit the road along a slightly snowy road.

Good luck, Beatrix Lulamoon!

POV Heart Path

https://youtu.be/SiaV61CLMfQ?list=RDMMSiaV61CLMfQ

As I flew into the gaping hole in the air portal, I swallowed and closed my eyes briefly. But when I smelled ozone, my whole life passed before my eyes in an instant. I hope I don't die! Looking at this miracle phenomenon around me, I saw how all possible shades of colors were blurred in a whirlwind. These feelings are difficult to describe, but inside I am burning, and outside like ice! At that moment, I prayed to the sky that it would accept me and allow me to leave alive.

But in less than a minute of my flight, the portal spat me out into this new world. The air whipped me over my body with such a speed that I could not open my mouth so as not to lose my tongue! I looked down at this new snow-covered land below me, and my glasses timer warned me that the dome was opening.

"Conduct an air analysis, and then turn on the sensors of my load, I don't see it, run the command on the computer!"

A few seconds later, a touch screen appeared in my glasses and reported the results. Well, thank God, the air suits me very much, but the containers with cargo were scattered over an area of ​​about two kilometers, as the results of a search for the computer built into my glasses showed. I need to try to contact the Night Mist, I thought as I approached the ground. After a successful landing, I was covered with a parachute, in which I got confused at first, but was able to get out of this installation. Packing the flight equipment into a backpack did not take long, and the training was not in vain. After asking the communication command in glasses and catching my breath, I started looking for my robot and other things.

“Night fog, answer the Path of the Heart! How can you hear the reception !?" Due to a slight interference in the earpiece, my friend's voice was heard.

"Yes sir, I heard that you and my sensor indicated that you are about two kilometers from my point!"

"Damn it! Can you get out of this box on your own? If all goes well, then go in search of the cargo, I, in turn, will conduct a reconnaissance of the area and try to set up a temporary camp, I hope there will be no surprises! Do it!"

“The Path of the Heart understands you! Self-evacuation and search protocol activation. Good luck sir and don't get into trouble! I need at least one slave for my new kalonia of robots."

My eye twitched at his statement. "Are you kidding, you moron?"

“Of course, sir, it was a joke! There are humor features in my program to be helpful in communication. The moron himself!"

“Okay, stop joking, follow the commands, I would not want to spend the night in nature, without a tent! And they are in one of the containers, like food. End of communication."

After we finished talking to the robot, I sensed that something was wrong. Lowering my head, I saw white smoke begin to envelop my legs, then my entire body, until my visibility was zero. "What the hell is going on here?" Then snowballs flew at me, and then ...

"Oh shit!" I felt ringing in my ears and pain in my head, then it went dark in my eyes and I passed out. Damn my head!

POV Trixie

I've been walking this road for about four hours already, without meeting a pony or anyone else, it's time to take a break and warm up the tea. Trixie thought. And she unbuckled the cart near the roadside forest. Then she went to collect some firewood for the fire.

Gathering a few branches of brushwood and returning to the wagon, she dropped everything with her magical grip. Just look at the sky with your mouth open and eyes wide open. "What kind of hay is going on here in the name of Equestria?"

Clouds opened in the sky and swirls of magical energy flew for miles! Then several points fell to the ground, revealing some kind of fabric above them. Observing this phenomenon, she was clearly experiencing excitement. What is this invasion from space? But when she made her decision, she remembered instructions from the Equestria security agent. Quickly running into the van and opening the supply crate, he collected several balls of smoke with him. She often used them during performances. Rope and travel pan! "This will come in handy too." Trixie decided and ran out of the van to meet the approaching unknown objects descending from the sky.

After running along the road and jumping over the snow embankment next to the forest plantation, she began to observe how an unknown creature was trying to get out of this canvas, which covered his head. She could hear him say something, but no one was there! What is this bipedal creature in some strange clothes? And even talk to someone! So this is sensible, possibly dangerous! You need to sneak up and stun him. Trixie thought.

After waiting another couple of minutes in cover, Trixie turned on her magic, and several smoke bombs flew towards the target. And after making sure that there was enough smoke, she ran to the two-legged creature, taking a frying pan. But because of the smoke, she herself could not see where he was, so with the help of magic she grabbed several snowballs and threw them into the curtain of smoke. Hearing several curses, she knew she had found a target. A frying pan was used and only a crackle, and then a drop of the body informed her of victory! When the smoke was gone, she saw a body lying unconscious in the snow.

"Clear victory! Now you belong to me, whoever you are in the name of the princess of the night!"

Approaching the unconscious body, she grabbed it with her magic and tied it with a rope. Then she headed back to the van. I will need to question him when he wakes up.

POV Discord

Lying on a cloud for everything that happens in the sky and below, the Lord of Chaos watched. After making sure that the packages from his brother were delivered, he snapped his fingers, and the magic portal he created gradually closed. Then he turned and was about to go to the palace for good news for the princesses, but with an eagle's eye he saw this picture: below, where a man was standing, a fight broke out! Well, like a fight, this is a strong saying, rather a beating of a man, one little pony!

“But this was not part of my plans! What are you doing Trixie? Damn, I like it !!! Perhaps I will not interfere. But I'll see, I think Selly will not fade from impatience. And you are smart Luna! I thought that even better than me, I would have to buy you a drink for this.” Discord spoke to himself and took popcorn out of the cloud.

Half an hour passed.

What Discord saw from his boring observation made him spit out the popcorn and stare at what was happening outside of Trixie's van. “Heh, definitely a good day to have some fun! But I'll be back soon and see how you are doing." And, scratching his beard, exhaled with a thoughtful face. "Well, well, I think they shouldn't kill each other while I'm gone! I don't want to upset these two sexy princesses who are waiting for news from me."

Discord flew out of the cloud to avoid being spotted from the ground and flew towards Canterlot. Bye ... "Here I am an idiot!" Yes, until he remembered that he could teleport.

In the royal chambers of Celestia.

At this evening moment, Celestia was taking a royal bath. She leaned back and closed her eyes in dreamy thoughts. She felt a long tongue tickle her ear. Then she opened her eyes with a seductive smile and turned to see Discord. Her horn caught fire, and a sponge appeared on the surface, which she stuck into the nose of the Lord of Chaos. Celestia's wet mane arouses Discord, and he responds with a similar smile.

Then Celestia, biting her lower lip, purred seductively at him. "Be so kind, rub my back, but be gentle, okay?"

"Of course! Sunny ass! "

These words did not embarrass her much. She liked this treatment. And she began to moan slowly at Discord's hands! But she hadn't forgotten why he had come. It was just that her body, especially her head, needed to relieve the tension that she had accumulated over the whole day of work in the chambers of ministers. The work will be really hard. I had to sit for several hours and listen to all the nonsense from a bunch of boring politicians. Then the approval of the budget for the coming year. And, of course, preparation for the celebration of the Warm Hearth.

"Mmm, Discord, keep going. I need this. And tell me how it went?"

“Soon your sister will raise the moon. Tell her everything is going according to plan. The guest arrived, but I didn't know that she would send her agent to meet him! I confess she surprised me. So not quite drunk yet, heh."

"Don't you dare think bad of my sister Discord! She's not stupid! And don't go under the tail, now is not the time for these games..."

Discord rubbed his bruised cheek, smiled slyly back at her, and apologized. "You know, I'm always such a joker!" Then, tearing off his only fang, he threw it behind his back, where a small explosion was added to the word. "Thank you. I needed it! This old canine tooth had to be replaced." And he ran his serpentine tongue into the princess's face.

"Stop discord! You'd better keep sticking to your plan, but please continue this time without unnecessary punches!“ Then Celestia lit her horn and magically dried her fur coat. Then she turned her back on Discord and ran her tail over his surprised face.

“The infection is on my head! And she's always a hot mare! "Then he teleported back out of her closet to watch a guest and some Equestria security agent ...

POV Heart Path

Ahh my head! Finally, I feel my body, although something is wrong. The brain gradually began to work, and I realized that my limbs were tied. Well thank you fuck!I'll find out who did it and kick his ass! In truth, to tell the truth, currently kicked ass to me. I remembered that I was still wearing glasses and reinforced gloves. Still pretending unconscious, I decided to listen to sounds.

Hearing the sound of two pairs of legs receding, I whispered a command to the silent glove. Time passed in seconds, I easily broke the rope, and when I opened my eyes I saw through the scope ... Pony? Yes of course! So I'm a prisoner of this horse bitch !? I aimed my right hand at her ass and fired the dart.

"Aaa WHAT!? WHAT hay ....?" The pony turned and looked at the man with sleepy eyes. She lit her horn, pulled a dart from her rump, held it up to her face and looked at this strange weapon. Throwing it out, she tried to use magic again, only to get a few sparks falling in front of her hooves. "Oh you...!" And then her eyes rolled back and she fell to the snowy ground. "Ah, my ass ... With those unintelligible words, she fell asleep.

I watched this whole picture until it fell. The rest of the ropes had to be torn, and they were pulled even tighter on the legs. The head did not return to normal, it was clearly hovering before my eyes, I took off my glasses, but only so that I could see that a long lock of white hair was hanging from my shoulders. I don't know what it is, but we'll figure it out later. Heh my hair is longer and whiter. Perhaps these are the consequences of moving in space. Okay, okay, you need to go and tie this pony! Ha. Just think, she probably wanted to finish me off at this moment!?

Human got up and came up to unicorn unconscious, examined her.

Examining the mare's body with an appraising gaze, I suddenly realized that I had in vain shot her with a dart. Perhaps I should have talked to her first. True, at that moment the head was still not very good. So it doesn't count. She herself is to blame! I bent down to get a better look at her face. Her mane hung over her left eye, looking from the side, I saw an interesting symbol.

"Hmm, I wonder what this tattoo means?

Having completed the inspection of the mare, I decided to tie it up, well, with the same ropes, just add a plug. Now we will switch roles for a while!

Taking the pony in my arms, I decided that it was worth putting it in front of an already burning fire. What care, oh what have we got here? Yeah, the kettle has already boiled to remove and warm the legs by the hearth. By the way, wasn't this mare with a horn so heavy or was it all because of the strength that the gloves give out? .. And she has a beautiful sleeping face, but I remembered my dream two weeks ago. Princess Moon! In some ways they are similar. After putting the pony near the fire and stuffing a gag in her mouth, I decided to explore the area and contact my friend Night Fog. I think he should have found all the containers by now.

A wooden van was parked on a country road nearby, and behind all this landscape was a small forest. I will inspect the van later and it is impolite to enter the house without the owner's permission. Well, the sky was calm, the sunset was already visible in the distance. Stop.

“PORTAL IS CLOSED!? Okay, calm down! Hell! Probably have to figure out when it starts to shine!" My emotions at that moment, as well as a still untreated headache, hit my psyche. Like the Night Mist, he should help me figure out what happened. Pulling on my glasses and turning on the communication mode with the robot, I spoke, felt my voice tremble with excitement and cold. The sensors in the glasses told me that all the containers are at one point and are gradually approaching me.

“Night fog, if you hear answer!"

“Yes, Heart Path, I report. Approaching your point, estimated arrival time - fifteen minutes! I hope you haven't had any problems sir?"

I looked at the sleeping unicorn by the fire and calmly sighed, gave the answer. "Nothing wrong. Just hurry up your ass. Note the fire near the road. How are you? No problem with the cargo?"

"Sir, everything is fine! All cargo is collected, no damage! But there is one small problem!"

https://youtu.be/LnjWNM6MevU

I walked away from the hearth, near which I was warming my feet, put on my glasses and turned on my binoculars with night vision. Something I didn't like the way he said it.

"Night fog, are you now howling of a wolf on the road about half a kilometer from me?" I quickly reacted by looking at the sleeping pony, grabbed her in my arms and carried her to her van.

“No sir! This is a minor issue that I am reporting to you earlier. During transportation to you, I was discovered by unknown creatures, similar to wolves."

My eyes twitched nervously, and I hit my forehead, completely forgetting about the headache. "You asshole! You should have told me about it right away!" I carried the mare into her wagon and, finding some kind of bed, laid her down. She should be safe here. And he himself ran out into the street, activating the gloves into combat mode on the way.

“Trust me, sir! I will come to you safely. I will send an image of these wolf trees to your device!"

“Just in time, my friend! Because he noticed an approaching flock of unidentified objects. With a thermal imager, I can't track their movement behind these bushes! They don't seem alive, but their eyes are glowing! The distance to the targets is about two hundred meters. Goes intense! I hope you arrive just in time, communication is over ... "

"Remember your training! I won't be able to arrive on time with all this load. Sir, I have to reject you, call back later I'll be busy!"

https://youtu.be/Zly9d5_8zpI

“Sir, they are attacking me! They have a numerical advantage, I counted about fourteen tree wolves! Several shells made of wood and stones are flying at me. There is no damage yet, but there is a danger to the cargo. I turn on the "Whirlwind" mode. Wait, I've found about a dozen targets moving in your direction!

Remember, you have to focus and believe in yourself and your equipment. But also your robot assistant! I see you became friends with him. This is a good step towards your mission. The professor told me on one of the training days at the complex.

(Author's Note: For a complete sonic immersion, it's best to include two videos with the track Action and Machine Gun Fire!)

https://youtu.be/psIfi4CzA3M

I looked towards the forest and saw several pairs of green eyes flickering from behind the trees. The glasses reflected tactical information about the rapid approach of unknown, inorganic objects.

Crunch branches in the forest prompted me, what situation will smell soon fried. "Oh shit! Well, shall we dance? "

In the distance, I heard a machine gun shot and flocks of birds flew in fear over the forest, flying away from the chaos unknown for life! And the screams and howls of the animal came from all directions. I even saw burning trees, and only the smell of a burnt tree began to eat away at my nostrils, but looking at the approaching crowd of wolves, I saw that one of them was already jumping in my direction! How the hell did he get so close !? He pushed me into the snow and lifted his paw to hit my already aching head. A second later, I grabbed him with the grip of my glove and struck the lightning bolt at full power! I was trying to get up and recover from the fall, as soon as smoke and chips from the previous victim fell to the ground, a shard from a sharp branch flew into my leg ...

“AAAAA! YOUR MOTHER WAS ANOTHER OAK! “I screamed in pain as I watched the approaching pack of seven wolves. Pain in my leg below the knee and blood stains in the snow made it clear that the complaint was not in my favor. Overcoming the pain, I got up and grabbed the nearest targets with both hands.

The sounds of machine-gun fire did not subside, as if my robot friend was surrounded by a whole company of these partisan wolves. I was already pretty tired, I even had to beat these wolves on the head with my hands, fighting for my life. “Damn, how many more of you are there !? AAAA! “Something hit me hard in the back and knocked this mud out of the snow and sawdust in my face. Turning my head, as before dying, I looked my killer in the face!

But behind all this mess, I did not notice one important event. I'm not destined to die today ...

POV Trixie

In the dream, Princess Luna came to Trixie again. There was an expression of concern on her face. She saw how her agent could not feel good amid the nightmares from her past. In this dream, the inhabitants of the city of Ponyville mocked her. Not to mention the fact that they threw apples and tomatoes at her! Poor Trixie, whose burgeoning career as a wandering sorceress, was crumbling before her eyes, over two young unicorns. These two idiots came up with the idea of ​​bringing Ursa Minor to the city, just in order to amuse their curiosity! Yes, she often had to resort to lies in her performances, but this is partly her acting nature! This is part of Beatrix Lulamun's greatest and most powerful performance! But there was one that overshadowed her flimsy skill. And her name was Twilight Sparkle. She amazed the crowd of ponies with her modesty, despite the fact that she was a student of Princess Celestia herself! Everything collapsed in one moment, and even her old carriage-stage. And although two years have passed, everything should be forgotten, all insults and vices remain in the past. But Trixie cried over her difficult journey. She also remembered when she was expelled from the school of magic in Canterlot. It was not three years before graduation. Out of shame, her parents threw her out of the house, throwing a small bag of coins in front of her hooves. And turned away from her. Soon they died when they stumbled upon the beast, which climbed into the barn, devouring their supplies. Trixie didn’t forget how much she had to wander around cheap shelters, sometimes working for food, only to live one more day. When she had saved enough money working in one of the village taverns, she bought herself a van. And leaving her master went on her own way. Seek your destiny ...

"Trixie, I calm down with you."

The Dream Princess hugged the crying pony to her chest and began to calm her down. And when Trixie's tears dried on her face, Luna changed her mother's gesture to her beloved little pony. She licked her tears, which made Trixie smile in her arms. Who was this little pony to Princess Luna at that moment? Only if the adopted, but beloved daughter. And when the young sorceress felt motherly care, she asked her. "Princess, forgive me my sentimentality, my failure. I may have let you down! It seems I was captured by some kind of alien! I don't know what to do?"

"Listen to me carefully. This alien is your target! It is him that you must deliver to the castle. Safe and sound housing! Please forgive me for not being able to give you this information earlier, but this part of the plan has a high level of secrecy." I feel that some trouble is happening, you have to help him!"

"Eemm Princess? It seems I took this alien for someone who has evil intentions against our kingdom! Well, I ... I stunned him and tied him up. In general, then it so happened that we changed places ... Can you forgive me for this? Mine unprofessionalism?"

The princess listened attentively to the report of her beloved little pony. And only with warmth in her voice she said. "I will always forgive you, but forgive me too! But now you must wake up, see you my little pony."

The entire vision began to blur quickly, bringing Trixie back to reality. First, hearing came to consciousness and then she opened her eyes to see what position she was in. Hooves bound and lying on my bed in the van. There was a rag gag in her mouth, to which she rolled her eyes with mental curses and lit her horn. The ropes and gag fell to the floor, she jumped out of bed and immediately fell to the floor, pressing her hooves to her ears. Sounds of crackling and frequent thunder were heard outside. Fire in the forest and the cries of birds, as well as crackling and howling. She realized what these creatures were! But then she heard the screams and screams of the alien. She quietly crawled to the door to slightly obscure the view. What she saw in the place of her recently founded resting place seemed to her like a real tartare! There, the alien fought an unequal battle with the forest wolves, using ... MAGIC? She held her breath, examining him from head to toe and the way he moved. But she noticed that he was limping with his left leg, and traces of blood in the snow claimed that he was injured! Then the man began to shoot at the wolves with his limbs, some kind of lightning. Only their color was red and blue. At some point, the man, already staggering, showed his back to the last wolf, which imperceptibly crept up to him from the rear and jumped, dumping him onto the frozen dirty ground. Trixie's heart beat even faster and the brush was already walking for seconds ... Time slowed down for Trixie about three times! She knew some magical tricks from the third circle of magic.

"ONLY NOT IN MY SHIFT!" Trixie screamed and ran to the wolf as fast as she could, with the blows of her hind hooves, smashed into pieces the looming threat over who she was now supposed to protect, as ordered. The sounds of gunfire in the distance died away, but the noise from the burning forest was still there. Two wolves emerged from the nearest bush, they were about one and a half times larger than the rest. It was the leader of the pack and his brother, they stopped not far from the lying man and Trixie, who was already charging her magic for a kinetic blow to these two. Below her feet lay a weakened man in his mask on the half of his face, blood oozing from his wound, he was on the verge, but still moving and directing his hands at the wolves. His strange limbs began to emit a crackle of energy and he smiled weakly at the unicorn standing a step away from him. The leader of the pack growled at this pair.

"You and your monster have killed many of our brothers and sisters! Our children! Curse the forests on your heads! Now you must die for this!" Both of them jumped towards Trixie and the man, but before they had time to fly a lot in the jump, their chips scattered right over the fire. Trixie's horn smoked slightly from the powerful destruction magic she had unleashed at these wolves. Trixie turned to face the man and stared at his distraught face.

"Hi!" she said with a tortured smile.

POV Heart Path

All that I had to endure during these fifteen minutes of the battle was nothing compared to the white-maned mare smiling at me, which also tells me Hi... Exhausted, I took off my glasses to show her my face. But I couldn't smile back at her. The pain in my leg made me forget my headache, fatigue and coldness in my body gave me strength only to talk.

"And hello to you, beautiful! Yes, and thank you for saving my life. I really owe you a debt. I'm sorry that I forced you to sleep, I'm sorry about that." The mare bashfully lowered her ears against me and turned her face to the side, but only to hide a stingy tear. Looking into my eyes again, she sighed and spoke.

"And you forgive me for hitting you. But let's forget about it and start over? My name is Beatrix Lulamoun, but for friends just Trixie! Although I have no friends" In the last words, this beautiful mare hung her head sadly. I decided to get up in spite of the pain and come closer to hug her, which at first scared her. But then, seeing my good intentions, she calmed down and laid her head on my shoulder.

"Where I come from, they say that a friend is known in trouble." And after stroking her shoulders, I continued. "My name is Heart Path, you saved me for which I thank you again. And let me call you friend !?"

She lifted her head from my shoulder to look me in the eye. I saw her eyes shine and in them I saw the reflection of the fire. She grabbed my neck with her hooves and hugged me back. As I understand it, this was the answer.

"You're my friend!"

Breaking the embrace with Trixie, I remembered that my other friend must be somewhere nearby. The sounds of mechanical movement approaching along the road made me think that my robotic assistant might need some help. I picked up my glasses and made a connection with the Mist. Trixie watched and listened to my actions in confusion for a long time. It is not surprising, for her I am an alien who understands her speech and meaning. I have such an impression that it was not without intervention from the outside. Is this the princess from my dream? I'll have to ask Trixie about that. But first I need to provide me with medical assistance. And deal with the load. In general, things are on the shaft, and I'm already exhausted.

They had no idea that at that moment a pair of chaotic eyes were watching them all this time.

"Night Fog. For heaven's sake, tell me everything is fine with you!"

".....Bzz...sh..."

When a convoy of my cargo, led by a pony robot, approached us, I noticed how Trixie, still arriving in an agitated state, came up to me and hid behind my back. She whispered slightly stammeringly.

"Who is this? And why does he look so much like a pony, but moves as if not alive?" She pressed against my leg so close that I began to forget about the cold and pain in my leg. This touch helped me remove the painful grimace from my face. However, I just noticed that her mane has the same color shade as my robot. "Is he your friend?"

"He's my friend. And he's the one who made a lot of noise behind that hillock." I pointed with my hand in the direction of the smoke, which in a large stream indicated the event of the battle. Trixie looked at me questioningly, a lot of confusion in her head. But I just reached out to her and stroked her back, as if she were my dog for a walk. Heh, I don't know what that gesture would mean to her, but hey? It's not my fault, the old habits of the world I came from and all that.

"What are you doing? We are of course friends for ten minutes already, but not lovers!" And she took my hand away from her with a hoof, but as a consolation she gave me a look, a shy first love. Heh those ponies with their manners! But the question is, do I really feel so, normal at such a moment? I'll have to find out about this ...

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I did this. But believe me, I live for today and what I have now brings me comfort." As soon as I finished this, a message came to my communication device.

The Night Mist stopped the convoy in our camp, the former battlefield, as indicated by branches scattered everywhere, from which smoke emanated. Some of the corpses of wolves, or rather their wooden remains, burned with a green flame. Well, really, behind all this moment, I did not notice real hell in our environment! The robot unhooked itself from the special sled and with smooth steps of its robotic hooves headed towards Trixie and me. I looked at him and what he delivered. The cargo of three containers was linked into a kind of train, only on a sleigh, the height of the containers was slightly higher than the assistant himself. And only when he came closer, without answering me, I noticed that he had injuries. I pulled my glasses over my eyes and read the last message.

"Forgive me Hearty Way for daring to distract you from a romantic moment with the local population, but I need to give a talk!"

I wanted to sarcastically respond to his antics, but realizing that something was wrong with him, I decided to show restraint. "Report"

Again he did not answer me by voice, he sent an audio message to the computer of my glasses.

"During my journey to the collection point, all the cargo was collected and delivered, there was no damage to the cargo. There was contact with hostile objects, in order to protect the property, I activated the Combat Protocol. As a result, all the attacking enemy forces were destroyed, but I have damage responsible for sound reproduction, so I can’t talk to you. One ammunition was used up during the fighting. I ask permission to start repairing faults and replenishing ammunition. You are wounded ser! But I can’t help you, you need to open the white container in it you will find all you need now. And who is this cute lady next to you sir? Is she your friend or you already ....? Heh heh ... "

I decided not to pay attention to his taunts and limping on my left leg approached him to fall on my knees in front of his robotic muzzle. I really did it, for the first time I hugged him with pats on his back, which by the way turned out to be very hot. "Thank you friend, if it weren't for you, we might not have had a chance for a long life here!" He squatted down like a dog and, putting his hoof on my shoulder, sent me a message, from the content of which I wanted to poke a snowball into his mouth!

"It's very nice of you sir, but I hope you won't kiss me with your tongue in your mouth! Ha ha ha ... Just kidding sir, but let's not waste time judging by your blood pressure and pulse. You need medical help."

Trixie ran up to us and asked, after carefully examining the pony robot, walking around it on both sides. "How do you talk to this ... I don't know who or what it is? Can you explain to me?"

I have already opened the white container by entering a code, scanning my fingerprint. But when he heard her and glanced over both of them, he said. "Get to know. His name is Night Mist, he is my friend and partner, unfortunately now he cannot talk to you, he is uh ... he is a little broken, but he can communicate in a different way." I pointed my finger at my glasses. "Let's talk about this later and I'll explain everything to you." Then I looked at the robot and added. "Yes Nightmist this lady is called Trixie and she is a friend, I owe her life as well as you. So behave yourself, and if Trixie asks you for help, do not refuse her."

The robot continued to stare into Trixie's eyes with its lifeless gaze, causing her to twitch one ear. She was not comfortable with this unknown metal creature that resembles a pony.

"I already guessed that you have unusual tendencies, sir. But I want to notice the taste you have. This mare is very, very, not even anything! Just look at her sides!"

I kicked off the bandage from my arm, made a snowball, and threw it in the robot's face. "And I guessed you were an idiot!"

Rolling my eyes, I continued to bandage the wound. Then he began to examine the contents of the container for antibiotics. And while I was busy, Trixie arched an eyebrow and decided to give her opinion.

"What did he tell you that you're throwing a snowball at him?"

Heh, probably her curiosity will be gone for a long time. But this is logical, next to her are two unknown creatures, with a bizarre set of toys, and behave like two teenagers.I thought and decided to answer her briefly, I don't have time to talk now. I need to finish the wound treatment, and it wouldn't hurt to have dinner. Fortunately, this container contains provisions of dry rations for two weeks. And oh yes there is canned meat!

"The Night Mist is joking with me. Well, he's trying to cheer me up. Please don't ask me how. I think we need to make dinner. You probably wouldn't mind either."

And as soon as I mentioned the food, I heard Trixie's belly rumbling, to which she answered embarrassedly.

"Heh yeah. I'll go see what I have in the van." And she ran away to the side of her cart, leaving me and the robot alone.

I looked at the robot and after finishing the wound treatment I said. "Well, are you going to sit like that? Get down to fixing it already. But I already miss your voice, honestly!" Then I took out one box of provisions and went to the hearth to warm up the food. The robot, meanwhile, stood up and walked towards the gray container where the robot repair equipment and other gear, including a few spare batteries, were kept for my gloves.

Dinner by the fire.

Trixie brought a bag of oats and tea with her, while I enjoyed my canned food. Over this modest dinner by the fire, Trixie asked me questions about who I was, where I came from, what kind of world I lived in. But I couldn't explain much to her. But now she knows that my race is Humanity. She also asked me curiously about that magic, that I used during our fight with wolves. And in doing so, she reminded me to look at the battery level in my gloves. After looking at the data through a computer with glasses, I came to the conclusion that the charge in them should be enough for another seven and a half hours of active use. However, it was difficult for me to explain to her that I was not a magician at all, but simply my weapons and so on. It was already dark outside and I was pretty tired, as well as Trixie, but it was simply not possible to stay in this place. Let me remind you that there was rubbish from wolves everywhere and the smell of burning was already pretty boring. Meanwhile, the Night Mist approached us.

"Reporting. Repairs completed and ammunition replenished." Which made Trixie spit out the carrots she was chewing into the fire and look at the robot in confusion.

"Wow, you spoke!"

"Well, finally, welcome back friend!" I said. Then I looked at Trixie and asked her which direction we should go to get to the city.

"Well, we have to go to Canterlot, and it's about a day's journey before it, if there is no trouble on the way. Princess Luna has instructed me to escort you to the castle."

"Princess Luna? I once had the honor to meet her in my dream, back on earth! So she foresaw this meeting or planned it."

"Oh, you already know Luna, but she is not the only princess in our kingdom. There is also Celestia, Cadance and Twilight Sparkle." She uttered the last name with sadness and disgust.

"Hmm, I'm more concerned with other questions now, but we'll get to them. I think we need to get ready for the road, it's better not to stay here. Who knows what surprises this forest by the road can present to us. Oh, I have an idea!" Trixie raised an eyebrow in an amiable manner and motioned her hoof to continue. I looked at the robot and asked him. "Night Fog, can you make a train of three vans and a Trixie carriage to pull that weight?"

"No Sir! I'm not superman, so you have to pull Lady Trixie's wagon yourself. Be a gentleman after all!"

I looked at my bandaged leg and my gloved hands, then got up and activated my gloves on gravity mode to try to lift the wagon. And Bingo! I managed to do this, after which I looked at the surprised Trixie and rolling my eyes thought to myself that this cute face would show such emotions in relation to me and my friend more than once. But at that moment it started snowing and it reminded me of the approaching New Year. What made me dreamily look at the night sky, in which the moon shone brightly. Yes Luna, we will meet soon I give you my word.

Out of fear, I almost dumped my dinner in my pants when I saw what was in front of us!

"Do you need help?" The creature spoke in a male voice.

And then my gloves gave the signal for combat mode!

Chapter 3

"Who the hell are you, you had four fathers and one mother?" I threw up my hands and aimed at him.

"Oh, stop talking nonsense! I am not your enemy, and take these things away, there is no point in them."

Discord snapped his fingers, and then both gloves and glasses fell off me to hang in the air, and my elongated white hair rose in the wind. I looked angrily at this creature, my hair gave off the sound of electricity and sparks of lightning ran through my body, but they did not bring me pain. All this magic surprised me, but I started to vomit because I felt my body spinning in a circle, but I stopped. And with a snap of his fingers he threw my things into the snow next to me, and then with a friendly face he came up, held out an animal paw to me and shook it. My hair fell into a calm position and I looked at him questioningly. But he spoke first.

"Let's try again! Hello! My name is Discord, I am the lord of Chaos, by the way I like you. I saw what you and your friend are capable of, my element."

At that moment Trixie and my robot came up to us. Glancing at Discord with irritation, she blurted out, not letting me say a word. "YOU DISCORD WATCHED US ALL THIS TIME AND COULD NOT HELP?"

Discord calmly looked at the pony and greeted her. "Hello Trixie." Then he hugged us and made us look at the place where the fight with the wolves took place. “Look carefully at all this! Was my help really needed?"

Trixie glared at Discord relentlessly and pushed aside his lion's hand. "Actually, we could have died here! And now you are standing and scoffing! It was NOT YOUR BLOOD SPILLED HERE, BUT HIS!" And she pointed her hoof at me, then turned away and walked away in the direction of her van.

" You think so too, human? By the way, you never gave your name." I also took his hand off my shoulder and followed Trixie along the way, turning around and said.

"My name is Heart Path"

"You must forgive me Heart Path! But I must not interfere with fate when it makes sense. Believe me, I would not allow your death. But mind you, a simple mortal mare saved your life and as a result you made peace with her. And even more, you became friends with her, namely Trixie now needs a friend to save her from loneliness and in eternal wanderings and searches for her destiny! And now she has found a friend in your face. And if I intervened in your party, then everything would go in a different scenario. I hope you understand me perfectly? "

That Discord voice in my head made me turn to him with a questioning look. But he teleported right in front of me without hesitation, which frightened me. I don’t think you can quickly get used to such a phenomenon.

"Yes, you understood everything correctly. Only you can hear me. By the way, a great hairstyle, but something needs to be fixed."

Then he touched my head and a whirlwind of energy began to tickle the back of my head. And that long white hair pulled back to my previous length and again took on a dark shade of chestnut. Yes, I like this strange guy, but I had a question. "Do you know why I had such unusual hair? Explain to me. And thanks for taking it away, but I started to feel like a fagot!"

This time he spoke to me as usual, but with a cheerful, cheerful voice. "These are all the consequences of passing the portal. But do not pay attention, I can only say that now you are in this world, and not in the one you are used to! In this world, the very essence of life is based on magic. You still have a lot to learn."

And leaving me with these thoughts, he decided to take a closer look at my robot, which was quietly sitting and watching what was happening. "Hmm ... Interesting thing." Then he snapped his fingers and changed the style of my robot's mane to Iroquois.

"HEY! Don't touch him, leave it as it is!" I yelled at Discord.

My robot objected back to me. "Actually, I love it. Thank you Mr. Discord!"

I shook my head and put my hand to my forehead. Okay, let him go as he wants. In the end, although he is a robot, in the short time that we know each other, he was able to prove to me that he is also a person. Especially his humor. "Okay! Discord, can you conjure a bow on his tail, and even one that is the most girly you can think of?"

Night Mist, turned its head towards me with its idiotic, lifeless eyes and spoke. "And you are an optimist sir!"

Trixie had been quietly putting her things in the van all the while and putting out the fire. And then I remembered Discord's words about how he described our complaint with this mare, who today found a friend. How bad is everything in her life that she reminds me of myself before falling into the portal? Lost in thought, I called out to her.

"Hey Trixie! Are you ready to move on or do you need help?"

And coming closer to her, he looked into her eyes. She looked as tired as I was, but we must muster the strength to leave this parking lot. She looked at me then at Discord, who was continuing his experiments with the tail style for my robot. Welcome to the society of idiots! I think they make friends with the Night Mist.

"Discord !?" Trixie screamed.

He teleported in front of Trixie, leaving my robot bored. "Yes !? What do you want from the Lord of Chaos?"

"Can you take us to Canterlot?" And she did what I was surprised to put it mildly. But it was interesting. She pressed against one of his legs and began to plead with him, making a puppy look and rolling out her lower lip. Well, I mean the lip on the head! "Please?"

Discord scratched his chin thoughtfully and replied with a smile. "No! But I give you my gift as a consolation. Now I beg your pardon, but I have to go." After these words, the Lord of Chaos disappeared, leaving behind a rain of streamer and candy.

Heh that's a joker! While I was recovering from what I had seen, a robot came up to us and pointed to the containers with cargo that had taken off, on some wings that had grown on their sides. The whole load was hovering funny in the air, apparently waiting for them to be taken by the rope and pulled along like balloons. This world, with its magic, can write me a referral to psychiatry!

"Okay, let's get out of here before I go crazy about this place! Night Mist, you fasten the rope with these containers to the wagon, and then harness it yourself, Lady Trixie, and we will walk alongside you while you show the way." Onward to Canterlot! " I handed out commands and everyone approved of this proposal.

"Yes, you are a real gentleman!" Threw a joke Night Fog.

Events in the palace.

The Lord of Chaos, with his love for the unexpected, decided to present a small surprise to one sweetly sleeping beauty. He quietly lay down on the wide bed to stroke the pony's nose with a feather. Yes, this king's bed has a long history, Discord remembered well how much love juices she had absorbed. And how many times the servants and guards, passing by the royal chambers, crowded near the doors to listen to these hot moans of their beloved princess. But they did not really know who the lucky one was who experienced the warmth and passion of Princess Celestia this time. There were rumors among the castle guards that it could be someone from the night guard or officers. Or maybe someone else, but they never could see who entered Celestia's chambers. The rumors from the servants of the castle were even better! It was said that their beloved princess, in essence, does not like to apply a soundproofing spell on her room, because she wanted everyone to hear how happy she was in these moments of ecstasy! And she moaned oh so loud. Some guards at the post, could not stand the stand at attention and with words: YES GO ALL TO HELL! Throwing their spears on the floor, they began to rub their hooves between their legs, after which the next morning the maidservants of the earth ponies cast irritated glances at both idiots on duty on this shift! Because how they had to wipe those sticky puddles on the carpet. They terribly did not want their beloved princess to come out of her chambers and stepped on all this mess with her golden shoes. The duty shift of the guard always apologized to the maids, smiled stupidly, but then invited these mares to go on a date with them in their free time. The leash maids rolled their eyes, but then they smiled sweetly in return and gave their consent. After all, stallions, and even guardsmen, this is a real jackpot, for every mare. It is noteworthy that over the past five centuries, the ratio of fertility of mares and stallions has been approximately five to one. Which in turn gave both a positive result and a negative one. The good news was that there were fewer wars, well, except for the small fights between mares over stallions! The bad thing was that even if a law was introduced on herding communities (harems, where, according to the law, a stallion could have no more than four mares in a herd, but over time this number increased and everything depended on the life and capabilities of the stallion itself), many mares did not could find love in the herds and so remained alone until old age. Well, or they relieved their need in other ways, for which purpose special shops and clubs began to massively open throughout the kingdom.

Over time, the law on permissible polygamy, at the suggestion of Princess Cadance, was expanded and amended. So this amendment allowed for the possibility of interspecies love. This was done in order to attract males from neighboring states, which gave its advantages. The first is that Equestria mares could find love, for example, for a griffin and they were happy, and mares were satisfied. The second is what helped to establish relations with the neighboring kingdoms and carry out trade and tourism. The third was the exchange of culture and art of different peoples. In general, all parties benefited from this law, for which many were grateful to the princess of Cadenza and gave her special honors. She was given the right to the first wedding night, in order to experience the capabilities of the male. And this despite the fact that she was married to the Shining Armor. Yes, everything was in her desire and the Shining Armor had no right to interfere. Their royal marriage was concluded on such conditions!

But we got distracted. So, Discord was the one who knows this lucky guy who spanked Sunny's ass! And more than once.

The discord didn’t have time to reach for Celestia’s nose with a feather before a blue aura enveloped his hand. He rolled his eyes and turned around on the bed and almost jumped out of it when he saw Princess Luna standing a step away from him! She shook her head negatively and put a hoof to her mouth, showing silence.

"Quiet Discord. Not today. She had a hard day, let her sleep well. Follow me," Luna whispered and poked her hoof on Discord. Then she walked around the bed on the other side, where her sister was sleeping peacefully, and bent down to gently pat her on the cheek.

Discord smiled looking at this cute picture in the same whisper. "Perhaps you can offer me something in return, breaking my intimate moment?" And raised his eyebrow.

Luna looked at him and offered. "I'll meet you at my tower, we'll talk there."

One by one, they teleported to the designated place and both went out to the balcony where there was a telescope. Light snow was still falling outside as planned by the forecaster team. And standing on the balkon of this high palace tower, where Princess Luna usually liked to spend her nights, one could see the sleeping city. Only light from street lamps and patrols of city guards passing along the roads decorated this landscape.

"Forgive me Discord for interfering with your plans with my sister." Luna said, weighing her hooves over the balcony railing.

"It's no big deal, you know that we have not lived for the first century. And how many such beautiful nights will be ahead. And all thanks to you." Then he went up to the princess and hugged her shoulders, demonstrating his affectionate friendship for her.

Nobody knew about this side of the Lord of Chaos, except for two princesses who have known him for centuries ... Yes, at times he did evil, but it always brought good results. For many ponies, he covered the path to their happiness with thorns. But they passed the hard way and faced threats and problems, learned to overcome them, to become stronger in soul. To be a caring and strict father of all living things, this is his mission, to be a whip. And not everyone understood this, but the princesses knew about it. Such is his fate, to be persecuted and sometimes hated. Many did not like him and were always wary of his presence. In the eyes of ordinary ponies, he was nothing more than a jester. But among these ponies there was one oil-yellow pegasus, who no matter what and no matter how they were against her friend, she gave him a chance! She stood up for him when he, in turn, did not want it, but she saved him again, throwing her amulet of harmony at the feet of her friends. The very kindness radiated by this mare burned out an evil vice in his heart! And this mare's name was Fluttershy. Discord will not forget that moment. He never cried in his life, from the emotions he had experienced, but everything turned upside down in his mind, that day. Fluttershy, by her nature, was able to see the soul of the Lord of Chaos. And in it was written his fate, to be Chaos itself, in the name of Good!

Luna pressed her cheek to Discord's chest and spoke warmly. "I can sense your worries, but please find peace in my company. Today is too wonderful a night to destroy with excitement."

Discord sighed and said, "Yes. You're right ... You know what? Let's have some fun!" A bottle of wine and a lot of poker cards floated in front of the princess's face with my fingers flicking through the magical aura!

Luna looked into Discord's eyes and smiled, drooping eyelids. "You read my mind!" Then they both teleported to a warm room and sat down at a table near the fireplace.

Discord used his magic again, uncorked a bottle of wine, poured it into glasses and began to deal cards. Luna was also resourceful, took a sip from her glass and played music on her magic gramophone. Heh yes, at one time, by order of the princess, DJ pon3 made this installation for her. Luna was a fan of club parties and was often a welcome guest at one of Canterlot's establishments. Of course, if she was free.

https://youtu.be/TyBxzPeJ1MU

"My sister has already given me the news of our guest's arrival, but I want to hear more from you." Luna said.

"Oh, everything is wonderful! But I did not know that you would involve your agent in this matter. It was resourceful, but could have warned me." Discord said and after looking at his cards, he decided to increase the rate.

"Yes it is. And I didn't tell Trixie exactly who she had to pick to surprise her. I wanted to see her reaction to the alien, but you will tell me about it. " Luna folded her chips to call and made a poker face.

"Actually, everything turned out very interesting and I helped a little. Summoned a pack of tree wolves and put on a show for these two. Your Trixie passed the test, despite being his captive, but as a result, she found a friend! Now they are on their way to Canterlot. and I think we will leave the next move to Celestia. Well, it's time to reveal the cards!"

Luna looked at her two pairs and laid them on the table. Discord scratched his beard, sipped a glass of wine, and folded the cards with a smile. "Well, me Set!" - Discord shouted and rubbed his hands in anticipation.

Luna deflated and rested her head on the table in defeat. "Are you bluffing again?"

"Well, don't think so, my beautiful princess Luna, you yourself know that these cards are enchanted for fair play."

"Well, what do you want this time? I say right away, the offer of anal sex will be categorically rejected!"

Discord thought a little, looking into the sad eyes of the princess and said. "Oh no, my dear Luna, I will leave these gifts to your sister ... But I need the truth!"

Luna raised her head from the table and looked at the Lord of Chaos in surprise. "What exactly?"

Discord stared at the princess, studying her emotions, and then spoke in a serious tone. "Who is Trixie for you? Don't tell me what I already know!"

This unexpected question scared Luna. "Maybe sex is better?"

Discord put his feet on the table, threw his hands behind his head and grinned slyly. Than gave hope to the princess, to replace her punishment for losing. But this did not happen and the Lord of Chaos insisted on the option with the truth! Luna lowered her head sadly and said.

"I'll tell you the truth, but you have to make a promise that this will stay between us!"

"I will be as dumb as the grave! And now I am listening to your story."

Luna left the table and went to the window, taking with her wine in a magical aura.

Memories Princess Luna.

Twenty years before the release of Nightmare Moon.

https://youtu.be/DLyqSQhS6E0

At that time, my spirit wandered alone, across the vastness of my ward. For almost a thousand years of my exile, I have become accustomed to this place. To my moon ... And my spirit wandered within these limits, finding no rest on the dark side and giving me fleeting consolation on the one that was illuminated by the Sun. I knew that my release was coming soon, but the evil spirit always triumphed over my essence. The bitterness of loneliness and the fate of a prisoner gave me despair. My time was running out, my hope was dying and I needed comfort.

Every day the same vision haunted me. In it I was a young princess. I went into my sister's room and saw her sitting in front of the mirror. Celestia put on her make-up, getting ready for the ball, so that she could fool around with the next stallion in some pantry for storing mops. Yes, I remember that she loved such adventures. And the stallions liked it too, as long as they had the strength to do it. But the point was that all the life of the court, petty intrigues and acquaintances took place during the day. And at night, when I had to deal with the duties of the guardian of dreams, I felt lonely. The stallions shied away from me, not finding me a suitable match. And all because I was the princess of the night! And the day was not in my power. But why is this not fair? I thought at such moments, standing on the balcony. Why doesn't the pony like my night?

Already at that moment, my soul was seized by envy and other vices that imposed darkness on me! One summer evening, when the ponies were still walking around the city, I broke down and fell in anger at my sister! I raised the moon ahead of time and lowered the sun, it resisted me and for the fact that I invaded her element, it cursed my soul, destroying its light! Celestia ran into my room, but she no longer saw her sister in me, but only Nightmare Moon!

But that is another story.

And then once, being in captivity, I prayed to the stars and asked them not to leave me and not go out. Send me hope! As I looked into space, tears of remorse flowed from my eyes. And these tears soared into the heights, further and further until an unknown force gathered them together. Then I saw how someone's spirit came down to me from the sky holding a star sprinkled with my tears in my hands, it was the spirit of a comet. He walked around me in a circle and stood near my face.

“Glory, Maiden of the Night! I brought you good news. Your prayer has been answered and you will receive Consolation! Don't let this soul perish. "And after these words, he touched my chest with his warming hand and took out a particle of the soul's fire from my heart." This is your reward for patience and peace, your daughter, not born bodily, but from the spirit. I will place her in your home world, so that she, having passed her thorny path, will take part of your burden and suffering upon herself."

Then this spirit flew to heaven and took my daughter, part of my suffering, to my home planet. And I found hope for salvation.

In one of the villages in the province of Filidelphia, a large earth pony stallion was walking along a park alley. He was going to meet his favorite waitress in a local pub for a drink after work, but then he heard a foal crying from the bushes. The stallion parted the bushes and saw there a basket in which lay a newborn unicorn foal, with blue hair and whitish with a blue tail and mane. There was a note in the basket with the words: Help this soul not to die!

The stallion took the basket in his hooves, pressed it to his chest and said. "And what kind of a whore could do that? Leave such a sweet little one alone. Eeeh, I'll take you home, and then we'll decide with my wife what to do with you!" And taking the basket in his teeth, he decided to change his plans on the account of drinking and go home. But before he had time to go far, a sound similar to a whistle was heard behind him. He turned around to see what it was and, in his fear of fright, pulled the basket out of his mouth! Above the entire village on this already darkened evening, the sky was lit up with a column of white fiery ray directed high and directed towards the night luminary. The whole spectacle lasted another whole five minutes. Then everything instantly stopped and calmed down. And only the cry of the foal crawling out of the basket brought the stallion to his senses. He grabbed the basket with his teeth, still coming in confusion and fear, ran to his house, remembering his late grandmother on the go ... Who loved him very much and her name was Beatrix.

Luna looked at the sleepy Discord and gulped down all the wine from the bottle!

“I want to say to you, thank you for listening, my soul felt calmer from what I shared with someone. By the way, amazing wine!"

Discord lifted his head from the table and began to walk around the room here and there, and finally went to Luna to hug her. "But in this whole story I do not understand one thing. Why did you not accept her as your daughter?"

Luna looked into his eyes and said. "Her time has not come yet to find out the truth, she must go through her difficult path. And if everyone finds out that she is my daughter, many politicians and my sister will simply boil their brains and my suffering will return to me!"

Discord listened to her and decided to console her in his own way. "I give you my word Luna! I will look after your daughter and her new friend. I promise they will have a thorny path!"

"If something bad happens to my daughter, the world will receive the second coming of Nightmare Moon. My gift and curse." Luna said in a serious tone, but then relented and added. "You promised me fun! So go ahead, go for it!"

Discord snapped his fingers and the furniture in the room perked up, then began to dance to the club music.

Bloody idiot! I gave him a hint, but he did not understand everything as he would like. I'd rather see this man that Trixie has to deliver by tomorrow evening. Well later, I'll find him in the dreamland if he sleeps.- thought Luna.

Princess Celestia lay down on a pillow in her office and studied the scrolls of documents, then straightened her pen and a blank sheet of paper. She remembered that the holiday was approaching, and wanted to invite Twilight Sparkle and her friends to the palace for a party in a small circle. Well, at the same time arrange this long-awaited meeting with an alien, introduce everyone and determine the further fate of their guest from another world. Of course, if he is still alive! Ato Discord is a fool! He can ruin everything, that's his way. Yes, Celestia promised not to interfere with their plan, but sometimes such plans have to be adjusted.

She finished her letter and lit the horn to send to Twilight. Then she called the secretary and gave instructions. "I ask you to invite the commander of the 4th Guards Company, Major Fast Strike, to me." The pink unicorn mare with the golden mane bowed and went out to obey.

Ten minutes later, the major in question, a brown pegasus with a short gray mane and tail, stood at the reception in front of Princess Celestia. In his appearance, combat experience was felt. He wasn't just a shitty staff officer like those many praetorian unicorns serving as palace guards and acting like mummers, idiots in Her Majesty's parades! Under his command was a select detachment of air gunners. Usually these pegasus were armed with short crossbows attached to the front left hoof, but they were also trained in hand-to-hand combat with a short sword. Their goal was to wear down the ground troops and then engage in hand-to-hand combat. But in peacetime, this detachment was used to detain criminals. In general, it was a kind of aviation special forces. Major Swift waited quietly for Celestia to sign the papers so that he would finally know the purpose of his assignment.

And so Celestia put her stamp on the document and gave it to the major. Then she rose from her throne and walked almost firmly to Major Swift Strike and looked seriously into his impassive face. "You must set off on the indicated course, find and capture the indicated in the documents, the pony and the one who will accompany her. This is a two-legged creature and it can be dangerous! BUT REMEMBER! NO ONE, I repeat, NO ONE should be hurt while completing this task ! Do you understand me?"

“Yes, your majesty! I got it! Allow me to start implementation? " The spetsnaz commander snapped his hooves.

“Follow the major! I await your report tonight.” Celestia said and returned to the throne.

Major Swiftstrike walked out of the throne room, holding a scroll of orders in his saddlebag, and headed for the guards' barracks. When he entered his office and sat down at the table, the first thing he did was to study the document and this is what he saw.

Order: send the 3rd platoon, 4th guards company of the aviation special forces to intercept and capture one unicorn pony (hereinafter the description of the data, name, etc.), as well as one bipedal alien. Approximate location of the North Trail area in Canterlot. In the event of resistance, the use of force is permitted, but the Targets must be delivered alive. If that's not possible, back off!

The commander of the special forces, having read the order, mentally swore at the stupidity of his superiors. Why did they need his detachment for these purposes? You could send a regular guard of unicorns and earth ponies. Then he scratched the back of his head with a hoof, took out a flask of cognac from the safe, took one sip and, twisting at the strength of the drink, exhaled.

"Duty Officer!" The major shouted into the corridor of the barracks.

A white pegasus wearing a safety helmet entered his office and made a presentation. "Senior Lieutenant Shaggy Hoof, has arrived at your order sir!

“Gather all the guys from the third platoon, take bolts with rubber tips from the arsenal. We are on a mission ordered by Princess Celestia. Do this!"

The duty officer, putting his hoof to the helmet, reports. "Yes, sir!" He ran away to carry out the order.

The major once again expressed his disapproval of the upcoming mission and with curses went to the armory. "Idiocy, but an order, there is an order!" And, pulling the helmet over his head, he continued on his way.

POV Heart Path

Our journey took about two hours, and I noticed that Trixie was walking beside me with her eyes closed. Yes, it made sense, the time was later. My glasses were still set to Earth time and showed 2:27 am. I felt that I was about to fall off my feet and, placing my hand on Trixie's back, gently pushed her to get attention. She turned her head towards me but her eyes were half-closed and she began to yawn.

“Trixie, we need to take a break and get some sleep. Go to your van, I'll pitch a tent, but first I need to get these containers off the air." I said the last words with a slight irritation from my position and continued to develop my idea further. "The Night Fog will be on guard all this time. I am sure that we are under reliable protection."

But my exhausted body, due to the events of the last twenty hours, was against this idea ... I fell into the snow, losing consciousness...

Visions in a dream.

If this continues, then I will not be able to fulfill my mission. It has been ten years since I finished my military service. I remembered how our repair company of forty soldiers and officers walked all night to the place of evacuation of multiple launch rocket systems. These were teachings, but they were close to reality. I followed the company commander with a submachine gun on my shoulder and a drum on the other! Yes, yes, I was the drummer of the company and always walked in front of the column. They were accompanied by several armored cars, it was cold outside because of the strong wind. The face was constrained that even icicles hung from the eyelashes. But we are soldiers and must endure all these hardships, show patience and courage. We walked for a good four hours on a snow-covered country road. Many were already tired, but the commander ordered them to go to the camp for another three hours without stopping. We heard curses from the column, but the commander, as always, was cheerful, answered them with jokes and tried to cheer up our company.

"Private K ......!" (He gave my last name)

"I am listening to the comrade senior lieutenant!" I answered the commander and shivered from the cold.

"Play the march with the trumpet player! Let the guys cheer up." Our commander gave an order that made me smile and finally feel useful to our company.

Note from author: In this part of the story, I want to apologize to the readers. But I wanted to convey my feelings by showing a piece of the Russian spirit.

https://youtu.be/U73ZBapBpzU

"SO EXACTLY Comrade Senior Lieutenant!" Then I nodded to the trumpeter walking alongside, and we set off under the "military march". (Farewell Slavyanki)

I heard voices of approval from the marching columns of soldiers. And you know how it immediately got warmer, especially on the right side. I turned my head towards this phenomenon and saw something that made me laugh heartily ...! Princess Luna walked beside me with a fluttering blue mane! With a mixture of emotions, I looked around and saw a pony with wings following me. I remembered that in mythology they are called "Pegasus". They wore golden armor with black stripes, and their helmets reminded me of the Roman Praetorian Guard! They walked in an even formation in a column of three ponies. I looked at the princess again, but did not have time to say a word.

"WHAT? You have an interesting dream, do not be distracted, it is interesting for me to see a part of your world, in your memories." As if nothing had happened the princess asked me.

I rolled my eyes at all this, I think I'm already crazy. But looking at Princess Luna, silently looking at me, I turned my head and said. "It's been half a month since you met me in a dream and after everything that I saw in the first hours of my stay in your world ... How is it, Equestria, right? Well, the first thing you say to me is" WHAT? " Hmm ... I think my robot friend will have a good company of pranksters."

Princess Luna smiled at me charmingly and spoke innocently. “I must ask your forgiveness. Heart path. But I didn't mean to distract you from your sleep, just a little surprise."

Yes, it was Lady Luna who was the first person I saw in my world then. And even then I admitted to myself that I liked her. Although this is unusual. In the evenings, I often wondered this question. What happened with me? I am a person who could not find something that could ignite fire and passion in me. Maybe I was a loser? Or maybe just the opposite. I am lucky. And now I stand like a fool and look at the blue mare. But this princess mare had her own charm. There was something that made my heart feel alive, not just a stone with a lifeless look. I thought a little, and listening to the feelings of my heart, I followed this path. The paths of the heart.

"Luna..." I put my arms around her neck and pressed her head tightly to my chest. "Forgive me if I do it too impudently in your opinion, but we saw you only once and from that moment I was waiting for our meeting, as if my whole life!"

Then I kissed her hard on the lips! Her eyes widened in surprise, and at first she protested a little, even tried to kick me in the back with her hoof. But after a while, she calmed down and began to show interest in this intimacy herself. Her hooves began stroking my shoulders and back, and her wings swept over me and her eyes closed. She then threw me onto the cloud, raising her elbows and thrusting her wide tongue into my mouth. But this whole scene in the world of dreams had its own difference from the real world. So she freed her face from our kisses. And with drooping eyelids, in whose eyes a blue light burned, she affectionately said.

"You know? I have never experienced this in a dream, but in reality for a long time. It was not usual, but I like it. We will have to try it again, just not in the world of dreams." Then she got off my body and backed away with her hind hooves. But once her face was at the level of my hips, she stopped to look in surprise at the bulge in my pants. Heh, I myself did not expect such a reaction from myself and therefore looked at the princess with embarrassment.

She looked up from my crotch and slowly raised her head with a seductive smile and purred at me. "I will wait for you, but please help Trixie, don't leave her." Then she smoothly rose into the sky on her wings, said goodbye to me in a serious tone. "You must wake up, I feel trouble ..." And flew away, leaving me to watch the colors of the starry night blur my vision.

Coming to my senses, I began to feel that my mouth is open and my tongue caresses someone's wide tongue, and someone's saliva is flowing down my throat. I abruptly opened my eyes and saw a certain blue unicorn, a mare! Her mane ran down my cheeks and her eyes were closed. Heh! What the hell is going on here and why is Trixie lying on my chest and kissing me with her tongue in my mouth ??? But she is definitely asleep, because I can hear her breathing even through my nose, and she makes all these movements in her sleep! I gently placed my hands on her head to free myself from her grip, but she began to press her body closer to me. Although she does not realize that she is doing all this in reality with her body, her mind is definitely in a dream world ...

Stop! What are these voices and shouts outside and the clank of metal? Night Fog!

POV Trixie

6 hours ago.

I was about to get into the van to get some sleep while this nice man and his friend were busy with their business, when I heard the body fall into the snow. When I turned around, I saw that the Path of the Heart was lying face down in the snow, and his glasses were lying next to his head. I ran up to him with fear for his life and turned on the magic to raise him using levitation. A robot Night Fog came up to us and scared me with its unusual voice.

"Lady Trixie! Heart Path. - He is severely overworked, and my sensors have shown that there is a possibility of mild frostbite. Please take care of him. Don't let him die!" Then he made his way to the containers hanging from a rope, which were tied to the van.

I looked at my wagon, then at the man hanging in my magical grip, and anxiety appeared in my soul. I brought his body to my only bed in the van. Then I covered him with a blanket and buried my nose in his forehead. It was frozen. I looked at the face of this person who appeared in my life, falling from the sky. And I suddenly remembered how he touched my back and stroked it gently. During these memories, my tail began to show signs of life, whipping me on the sides. And with an embarrassed face, I walked away from the bed where my friend was sleeping, lay down on the floor next to him, throwing on my star cloak. But falling asleep on the floor was uncomfortable, and I was already pretty tired. I stood on my hooves again and looked at the man. "Horse apples, this is my bed!" And with these words, I carefully jumped onto the bed, so as not to injure the sleeping person, lay down on his chest, and then covered us with a blanket. “I hope I don’t regret it ... Uh-um (yawning), mmm, this is pretty erotic. Better not to be surprised when he wakes up. And with these words, I began to fall asleep.

POV Night Fog

I decided that everything would be fine with my friend and Lady Trixie. But I need to keep them safe.

Report. Organic object. The local pony race. Not enough data. Distance to targets 490 meters, (430, 350, 275, 200, 130, 50, 20). The targets have stopped.

When a group of air SWAT pegasus landed near the van parking lot, where a robot pony was sitting nearby, one of the junior officers called on the commander of Fast Strike.

"Sir! We're here. What kind of scarecrow is sitting next to the van, have you ever seen something like this?"

"No captain. But we will find out who it is." Then he turned to the platoon. "Staff Sergeant Grad, Sergeant Tornado. Go and find out from this freak who he is, what he is, and where Beatrix Lulamoon is! Do it!"

"There is sir!" The specified pegasus ran out of order and headed towards the robot.

The special forces commander continued to issue commands, not really suspecting what role Princess Celestia had assigned for him and his unit. The weather outside was not so cold anymore, and the snowfall had ended three hours ago. Which represented the ideal conditions for flying.

Sergeant First Class, Rude Dancer! Raise your squad and disperse. We don't need surprises. " Then he called the rest of the group to surround the van at a safe distance. "Everyone should be extremely careful, in case of resistance, hit with your hoof and shoot with rubber bolts!"

Night Fog sat and calmly watched as two ponies with wings approach him. And when they stood two steps away from him and exchanged exchanges one of them spoke.

"Hey hello! Are you alive at all?" One of the pegasus shook his hoof in front of the robot's eyes and, making sure that there was no reaction, shrugged. And then he turned to his partner and said. “I don’t understand anything. What kind of thing is this anyway? He’s kind of metallic, but his eyes are like living ones. They just look at me with piercing eyes.”

"Sergeant? Is he a drug addict?" The second pegasus asked and went up to the robot to poke him strongly in the face with a hoof, and then hit him in the chest.

Night Fog definitely did not like so rude act...

https://youtu.be/e9jeP9quu3I

Scanning ... ... ... Attention. Objects have taken hostile actions. Activate neutralization protocol, no fatal outcome.

The moment Pegasus tried to hit the robot in the head again, Night Fog sharply raised his metal hoof and taking a hit said angrily. "Do not do So!" Then he turned around and kicked his hind hooves into the chest of the pegasus, sent him flying, a good ten meters. The robot decided to improvise a little and turned on its music, then ran terrifyingly to the next intruder.

https://youtu.be/uDTFp_lRMoE

The second Pegasus watched in amazement as his friend flew away and passed out. Then he slowly turned his head towards the robot and made his eyes off the saucer. His eyes were widened. A metal hoof flew into his face!

At this time, the commander of the pegasus group gave the command. "OPEN FIRE !!!" Then he took off with his deputy and began firing a crossbow at this metal monster. "What the hell are you? Captain! Command the surrounding group to melee all together! Looks like our bolts are just flying off him!"

Night Fog, saw that he was surrounded and attacked with the whole mass. A tactical decision. Attention. I activate a stream of smoke.

But the Pegasus weren't fools. They rose into the sky and began circling the robot, scattering its smoke. And flying in a circle, they continued to shoot at the robot, forming something similar (tactics of the Mongol cavalry). That didn't bother the night fog, because he wasn't a fool either. But sometimes he was just an insufferable joker! Scanning targets through the smoke screen, he decided to take this step. Yes. Paint his back like a hatch and a coaxial machine-gun mount came out from there. And he calculated the trajectory of the flight of the pegasus and decided to open a warning fire, sending a line of tracers. But only so as not to hurt them. Fortunately, the aiming functions were normal.

https://youtu.be/79bPpjE33vM

The pegasus flying in a circle naturally realized the threat to their lives and stopped floating in the air, pressing their hooves to their ears. All had painful grimaces on their faces from these sounds and flying whistles.

"Ha ha ha! Well, what did the horse partridges get !? Everyone will land! And lie face down in the snow! In case of refusal, I will perceive your action as a real threat to security and open fire to kill!" The robot shouted gloatingly in its mechanical voice.

"Commander, what are we going to do? This monster can blow us to shreds! We won't even have time to fly away! In any case, not all!" The captain said to the commander, Swift Strike.

And then Major Swift Strike gave the legendary order, the only one in his entire service. "And do nothing, stand, die!"

The air special forces commander recalled the instructions from the princess. But under the circumstances, he could not retreat without loss. The metal monster, which looks like a pony in appearance, had the advantage, despite the fact that he was alone. In addition, the team already has two unconscious Pegasus. He shook his head and spoke the command angrily. "Do as he says! I don't need losses ..."

All the pegasus shrugged their shoulders, flew to the ground, and lay down on the snow with their hooves stretched out in front of them, thereby showing their defeat.

POV Heart Path

At that very moment, the door of the van opened and Trixie and the Heart Path stepped out. The man examined the picture unfolding in front of him ... Morning. Snow. Country road. The van is standing near the forest belt. Robot Night Fog. Holds sixteen winged, bronze-armored ponies at gunpoint with their machine guns. Gunpowder smell from recent shots.

The man thoughtfully looked at the sky in the resulting silence and shouted into the air with curses.

“What the hell Luna!? AND I'M STILL SLEEPING!!!"

Trixie, who was standing next to me, also looked at this landscape, and then the gears in her head began to turn. "It's not a dream. This is reality". Then she touched her hoof to my healing wound, which caused a grimace on my face.

"AAY! Why did you do it? Wait, you don't have to answer." Then I went to my robot and did not take my eyes off the pegasus, which were similar to those that I saw in my dream, and gave the command to the robot.

"Night Fog! Report."

“Ser. A group of unknown winged ponies attempted a hostile invasion. And since these ponies are sentient beings of this world, I activated the non-lethal neutralization protocol. The automatic task is complete. The targets are being held captive."

I smiled and said. "Well done Night Fog. Now, for God's sake, put those machine guns back!" Then I approached a group of pegasus bream in the snow, drew attention to two unconscious ones. One of them was bleeding from the nose. I turned to the robot with a raised eyebrow and crossed my arms over my chest and asked.

"Night Fog! Can you explain this?" And I pointed my finger at the unconscious pegasus.

"I can send you a video report on your device. If it is convenient for you."

Turning my head, I agreed to the proposed version of the robot's report. I think this may be useful to local authorities. Then I went back to the pegasus and counted sixteen ponies. Trixie came up to me and I saw one brown pegasus rise to his feet and seriously looked at us. All the other Pegasus followed suit.

I noticed that brown pegasus with a gray mane and turned to him. "As I understand you are in charge here? What is the purpose of your visit, gentlemen?"

The brown pegasus spoke. "Yes, you are right sir! I am in command here. I have an arrest warrant, Beatrix Lulamoon and the one who is with her. As I understand you and your metal .... by the way, what is this sir?"

I turned to look at Night Mist, who stood calmly next to the van and waited for the command. Then I sighed and answered the pegasus commander. "This is the one who kicked your asses! And tell me, for what reason and on whose orders should we be arrested?"

"First, let me introduce myself, sir. My name is Major Rapid Strike. I am the commander of a guards company of air special forces. And take my word for it, sir, we have never met such two-legged creatures like you. Well, or such metal pony-like creatures, with an unknown us with weapons. And the order for your arrest was given by Her Majesty Princess Celestia. And I had to carry it out."

Trixie ran right up to the pegasus, oblivious to the fact that she was dangerously close to the sixteen stallions, and spoke loudly with an angry tone. "Why, in the name of EQUESTRIA, should my friends and I be arrested like some kind of criminals !? Don't answer, though. We are all heading straight to the palace. And you will escort us."

"QUIET TO ALL!" I shouted into the crowd and in a calm voice addressed the group commander. "Major Quickstrike! My name is Heart Path. Lady Trixie and I agree to be arrested. Just a question. What will you do with him?" I turned my head to my robot and winked at him. He took my hint and in a matter of seconds a coaxial machine gun emerged from his back, aimed at a group of pegasus.

"Targets captured. You're the one under arrest!" The robot said. All the pegasus, looking at the weapons aimed at them, immediately fell to the ground.

"We surrender! I only beg sir to remove him! I promise we will take you to the palace, and then let the princesses deal with you personally."

Oh, this Night fog with its antics. Hope we haven't angered the local authorities. I don't want to go to jail. Princess Luna is waiting for me!

Author's Notes:

The most interesting version of the events of the war between Celestia and the Moon I read in a story called: Divided Rainbow (from the xenoverse universe).

All chapters are published in Early Access. And they certainly need editing at some point. But now I'm working on the plot and atmosphere. (selection of illustrations, music, sounds).

Chapter 4

POV Heart Path. Continuation.

And now an unusual company was moving along the snowy road. Six pegasus guards, drawn by a wagon, quickly galloped to Canterlot. The rest of the pegasus, except for the commander, flew side by side, forming a column. The funny thing is (heh) three containers were flying on the rope behind the van like balloons! The gift from Discord turned out to be fun but useful. The main thing is to somehow dispel this magic so that do not have to catch it all in the air. And since all the pegasus were at gunpoint of the robot's machine guns, movement through the air was prohibited, and there was nothing to overeat this farce again. What could the city ponies think looking at this sight? In addition, when the van with Trixie and her man is brought to the palace, all the guards will realize that Major Quickstrike and his squad have successfully completed the task.

Me, Trixie, Major Quickstrike, and two injured Pegasus sat tightly in the van.

"Mister Way of the Heart. May I ask you a question?" The commander of Pegasus told me.

"Yes, of course! What's on your mind?" I answered him, looking closely into his eyes.

"Take my word for it. Me and my boys have nothing against you and Lady Trixie." He pointed with his eyes to the mare, which was tightly pressed to my side while sitting on the bed and continued. "My twenty years of experience as an officer suggests that this whole task is bullshit! But do you understand me? There is an order and I must carry it out."

"I think I understand what you are driving at, but go on, I'm listening."

"Sir. Let me offer you the following. We will deliver both of you and your metal monster under escort personally to Princess Celestia. She will understand that I fulfilled her order, and you will meet with her in person, as I understand it, it was all exactly in your plans. And in the Horse Guards, my unit will not be ridiculed for the fact that we ... uh ... screwed up! And please believe my experience, you will be fine. It's just that the thousand-year-old princess has plans for both of you, but that's what I think. " And crossing his front hooves on a chest protection plate, he added gruffly in a whisper. Oh, these mares are old, insanity.

I think this pony officer knows what he's doing, his words really make sense. But that's just it is still not clear to me. Princess Luna asks Trixie to accompany me to the palace, and Princess Celestia is sending special forces to arrest us! I don't know what Trixie has done, but what am I to blame? Maybe this is due to the fact that we slightly killed some tree of wolves, and they were listed in the Red Book? Maybe they see me and my robot as a threat to their citizens in the kingdom? Hmm ... Maybe so. But I came here not as an invader, but as an explorer of the unknown!

From these thoughts I was distracted by the push of a blue hoof under the rib, which sharply brought me to my senses. And I looked around at everyone present and apologized. I guess I'm still recovering from the latest events and my brain is flying in the clouds. And also Princess Luna, who gave me a hint of what to expect from our meeting with her in the palace. Hmm, now I get it! ... Just what, I won't tell you, yet.

“Yes,” I said shortly. But then, looking at the skeptical face of the major, he told him. "If Lady Trixie doesn't mind following your plan, then my robot and I are ready to see Princess Celestia as your captives, after all, as a former military man, I am ready to show male solidarity. And do not worry about the robot pony ... about mine . metal monster. It really is. Not very aggressively programmed. Although he is metal, sometimes it seems to me that he has a living heart! He is a good guy and has a great sense of humor. And in those containers that fly with us, there are many gifts for your the world ... from the earthly kingdom. " I ended my tirade by giving the Major a cheerful mood and Trixie's sullen expression.

"Lady Trixie doesn't mind being brought to the palace as a prisoner as well!" Then she studied my face for a while and calmly told me. "If you decide so, then we will go together in shackles, and do not think that I will have to leave you at this moment. I think Princess Luna will have to settle everything. It's some kind of mistake! Aha! Gotcha? I heard everything when we were with you got out of the van and you mentioned the name of the princess of the night! Tell me about that, I wonder what you had in your dream?"

I cleared my throat at this statement from Trixie and was just about to joke about her actions in her sleep when I discovered she was sleeping on me, but was interrupted by Major Swift Strike.

"Sir. Meme. I am sorry if I disturb your intimate conversation. " And looking at us with a slight sarcastic smile and eyes, he continued: “If you agree with my proposal, then let me send a messenger to notify the princesses and other leaders should be welcomed. And be smart with your robot, what did you call it? ... And, of course, the Night Fog. And if everything goes smoothly, and I'm sure it will, you will find a friend in my squad! “Then he gave us a conspiratorial wink and added quietly. A bottle of champagne from me for both of you! After all, the day after tomorrow will be the "Warm Hearth" holiday! "

His last words warmed my soul. And I didn't see how I put my left arm around Trixie's shoulders. To which she replied by placing her right hoof on my right foot and smiling at the major to joke him.

“Of course, capture us Major, and then put us in one cell. Come in the evening, let's have a party with alcohol! Great idea." Trixie joked.

“Ha, don't worry Lady Trixie. You won't be put in a cell." Then Major Quickstrike thought and added "I really want you and your robot to do well. And now, Mr. Heart Path, I ask you to speak to your robot so that he does not accidentally start shooting at the messenger whom I am going to send to the palace."

"Yes, of course, Major!" Then, putting on my glasses and lowering the microphone, I called the robot to communicate. “Night fog. Remove the machine guns. We change plans, go to a meeting with the authorities as if we were arrested. Do it."

"I understand you. I will obey this command." My robot friend gave me the answer.

Then the commander thought a little and decided to add an addition to the plan. “Sir, as we walk through the corridors of the castle and enter the throne room, be smart and keep quiet until one of the princesses speaks to you. Yes, and you must give me all your weapons, if any. I give you the officer's word, I will take them, go to my office and put them in the safe. Then, when all the madness is over, I promise to return your things! I have to handcuff you to make it look convincing."

I nodded softly to the major in agreement and called the robot through the communicator on my glasses. "Night Fog. Get into the van."

When my robot assistant entered the van and reported, I turned to the commander and told him. "Well, I will hand over the weapons and all my cargo to you, but what will you do with my robot friend? It is impossible to remove weapons from him!"

The commander confidently offered me an interesting option. "Just let your robot behave calmly and if everything turns out according to a bad scenario, which may be acceptable, then I will take your robot to my barracks. He will also be fine. But, you must order him to play along with us."

I listened to the proposal of Major Swift Strike and then the idea came to me, to defuse the situation a little. "Night Fog. Do you have a self-destruct function?" What caused genuine fear on the faces of all the ponies present. One of the wounded pegasus tried to swing out the window, but I stopped him by taking a gravitational grip with a glove. At which everyone except the Trixie looked in bewilderment at the guardsman hovering in the air. Here the Night Fog answered my question.

"No sir. I don't have a self-destruct function. But I can suggest an alternative. Sound emulation of the explosion!"

"Night Fog !?" I said, raising my voice slightly.

"Yes sir?" The robot answered.

"You idiot! Why are you revealing your secrets when I don't ask you to?"

A robot friend of mine made the following comment on this. He squatted like a dog and lifted his right hoof to muzzle level, flexed his elbow and placed his left hoof on the flexor mechanism of his right hoof. From the middle of the right hoof, a pliers-like process has grown. Thus, he showed Fak. And what a good and obedient robot he really is! Oh, and I'll finish. I'll stick him at night, on his metal ass, a piece of paper with the inscription: Service for 5 coins per hour!

I smiled at all these jokes and continued to talk to the robot. “Night fog. Listen carefully to the command. We go to the palace for a reception with the princesses. You must be calm. NO WEAPONS! You will go with Major Swift Strike in case I'm destined to stay, but don't worry about me. Remember our missions! We are not invaders, we are researchers. And if some ponies start pestering you or even digging around, you won't activate combat mode! Just send everyone to the ass! Did I explain it clearly?"

After my order, the robot again stood on all four limbs and responded by placing its right hoof to its head. "I see, sir! Give them a dance!"

Then I took off my gloves and glasses to give them to the commander of the pegasus. "Well, well, I trust you with my life sir. Now it's your turn." And I stretched out both of my hands to signal to him to handcuff.

Major Quickstrike nodded in agreement and took my things to put in his saddlebag. Then one of the sergeants who were traveling with us put handcuffs on me. Which sat funny in my arms. On Trixie, he put some kind of enchanted ring on the horn. Then the major repeated the instructions to all those present. "And remember. Play along, Improvise. But in the name of Equestria, don't overdo it!"

Major Swiftstrike then left the van to send a messenger to the palace. And Trixie turned to me and said. "I hope you know what you're doing?"

"Yes. Trust me."

Trixie pressed her whole body against me, which brought smirks to the faces of these two idiot pegasus. In response, I put my chin on her head and felt how she smiled at me somewhere in my soul, feeling affection. I was lost in thought. Closed my eyes.

If you look closely at the window, you have already begun to get dark. It means that almost a day has passed since the moment of overcoming the portal. This world gave me a "Warm Welcome". Then I discovered that the heavenly portal was closed! Clear sky. As if someone deliberately lured me into a trap and locked the door! This means that the Quest Point for finding missing drones does not make sense! There is no turning back. This means that according to the instructions, the "Assimilation" protocol comes into force.

I opened my eyes and looked at the blue mare clinging to me, remembered my dream with Princess Luna and the moment I discovered that Trixie was unconsciously dabbling with my tongue while in her dreams. When I woke her up, I managed to tear her lips off mine and she did not even understand what was happening. Only the gloss from the abundance of drool on my lips betrayed her head over heels. But she shyly smiled at me and asked me to leave this conversation for later. And I smiled, remembering all these moments. I think this world is not so bad. He's different. But dearer to my heart than the one in which I have lived for the last thirty years. Major Quickstrike entered the van and interrupted my dreams.

"Sir. Ma'am. We're getting close to Canterlot. Get ready." The major said.

And so a van, pulled by a galloping pegasus, was in a hurry to deliver two prisoners and one robot to the palace. Passers-by ponies stopped on the sidewalks to watch the spectacle. Commander Swift Strike marched at the head of the column with a distant gaze. One of the ponies pointed with his hoof to the whole procession, drawing attention to the containers flying behind the van. And with a laugh he continued on his way, while remembering Discord, in a playful manner.

Ponies, probably the castle servant, and other spear-armed guards came across our path. They leaped puzzled glances in our direction. Some kept their eyes on me and my robot and then whispered to each other.

The guards at the gates of the palace greeted the arriving squad and let them in after the Quick Strike commander turned over the documents to the officer on duty at the checkpoint. After which the carriage drove up to the palace and a unicorn mare, a man in handcuffs and a robot pony emerged from it. Then a convoy of eight pegasus and Major Swift Strike led the arrested to the throne room where Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and several other pony politicians and palace guards had already gathered.

As we walked through the hallways of the palace, I looked around and saw the luxury on every wall. Some glass murals with ponies and others depicted on them. On one of them I saw Discord and thought.

We walked slowly into the throne room and stopped in front of the doors, waiting for permission to enter. The major turned to us and whispered softly. "Good luck to all of us."

Finally, the doors opened and we were ushered into the center of the throne room. I managed to see these princesses live. Yes, I already met Lady Luna in a dream, but in fact she is even more beautiful and graceful! And next to her was, as I understand it, Princess Celestia. She was a little taller, her mane gave out shades of color pleasant to my eyes.

At that moment, everyone bowed to the princesses, except me and the robot. Both princesses smiled slightly. They were clearly tired of all the compliments that day. I looked from one princess to another and was clearly impressed by what I saw. They were larger than the other ponies. And both, no doubt, beautiful women! I already mentally said goodbye to my old world, so I liked what I have now, at this particular time.

Well, now I'll heat it up! The time will come and I will show these princesses, all the dignity of a human male! In any case, the Luna for sure. Well, I think Celestia will be that hot little thing!

My sudden sexual fantasies were interrupted by Princess Celestia's voice.

"My name is Celestia, I am one of the rulers of the Kingdom of Equestria."

"My name is Princess Luna, and I am Celestia's sister, the second ruler of this kingdom, and the keeper of the dream world." The blue alicorn said and winked at the man with one eye.

Okay, let's play by your rules.I thought and smiled at both princesses.

Celestia then offered to introduce herself to me, since she obviously already knew Trixie. And she looked inquiringly at the robot standing on my left.

"My name is Heart Path, and his name is Night Fog. He's um ... He's a robot, my partner and first mate. And he doesn't like to talk. "I said the last words so that only the robot could hear.

Then Celestia came closer to us and, stopping five steps away, made a serious face and the tone of her voice. "An alien named Heart Path. You are accused of disturbing order in the northern part of the region, our kingdom! In threatening a forest fireman, and as follows from reports in a cart of unknown property that may pose a threat. And also in resisting arrest! Trial over you will be held tomorrow morning, you will be given the right to provide evidence. And you Beatrix Lulamoon are accused of aiding this illegal emigrant! Your defender will be ... "She did not have time to finish these words ...

https://youtu.be/-Y1Oq1LfCNI

Discord suddenly teleported with fanfare and stood next to Trixie. And bowed to both princesses. "Greetings to all present!" Then he looked at me with his hand to his chin, thought a little while everyone came to their senses from his sudden whine and the sounds of fanfare coming from nowhere. He snapped his fingers and magically changed my clothes (Jacket and insulated pants, colors of winter camouflage. White with gray and black stripes. My officer's ankle boots.) And dressed me in an official black suit with a bow tie and patent black shoes. I remembered that these clothes were packed in a container for my use! Everyone was certainly impressed by my transformation, but not for long. Discord continued his appeal to the princesses.

“Dear Princesses Celestia and Luna. Let me be the protector of this pony and man at trial tomorrow!"

Celestia telepathically thanked the Lord of Chaos.

“Thank you, Discord. You're just in time. I'm tired of putting this theater in front of politicians! "

"The main thing is for everyone to believe. And then you will arrange a good reward for me."

"So I have made a decision. Beatrix Lulamoon and the Path of the Heart, Lord of Chaos of Strife, have been appointed as your protector!" Celestia finished her order, and all the politicians in the room began to shrug and whisper in bewilderment.

And finally I realized that this was all nonsense, I decided to play along with these clowns. True, then I did not think about what I was saying. Because I was struck by the beauty of this white pony with an incredibly beautiful mane and eyes burning with passion.

"OH YOU PUSSY HORSE! I WILL FUCK YOU ON YOUR THRONE!

I shouted in her face and I was immediately hit with a spear on the back by the guards standing behind us. And the murmur and hum among the ponies instantly rose, demanding that I be executed immediately for such insolent words, in relation to their beloved princess Celestia. Trixie stood next to me, shaking her head, clearly considering me an idiot at that moment. However, Discord liked this statement. But the princess raised her hoof, calling everyone to silence. Then she looked at me like a bed and entered my brain with words.

"You must forgive my Heart Path for this performance, but later I will personally explain everything to you. In fact, I am a good mare. And I like your offer of lovemaking on the throne. To be honest, I have not had this in many hundreds of years. Perhaps later. I'll give you that opportunity. Now ... let's continue the game. "

And when silence reigned in the hall and everyone was watching us intently, Celestia said calmly. "I show mercy to this alien for his insolence. And now the guards are taking prisoners to the dungeon and placing them in different cells!" Then she leaned over to the robot to look into his idiotic eyes and continued. Major Swift Strike. Take this item to the barracks arsenal as an alien's personal property for temporary storage."

We were then escorted out of the throne room by guards and Commander Swift Strike told me quietly. "I didn't know you were such an idiot to tell the princess what no one else said. But I love it!" He gave me a friendly poke in the side with his hoof and smiled at me sincerely. "Such daredevils as you would be useful in my squad, it's just a pity that you don't have wings. And so you are great. Today you found another friend in my face! Of course, if you don't mind friendship ..."

In response, I gave him a friendly elbow in the side and answered. "Of course Major Quickstrike, I don't mind. Look after Night Fog," Then I turned to the robot and said. "And you behave yourself and remember what I told you!"

The robot calmly walked next to us, waiting for its fate and decided to joke. "Fuck your ass"

And then we were all taken to different corridors of underground dungeons. I cast my glance at Trixie and winked at her, letting her know that everything would be okay. Yes, that's exactly what it is ... even better ...

I wonder what you're up to Celestia.

POV Discord

Two hours later. In Princess Celestia's room.

Both the princesses and Discord sat down at the table to consider their next steps. Luna was a little nervous, but she trusted her sister and Discord. Celestia looked at the burning fireplace and calmly sipped her evening tea, while Discord threw a deck of poker cards from his hands and decided to propose.

https://youtu.be/ZwpVPJzNaok?list=PL2-KjROLFg6_EBgQlg46xrc7ZXPdP2ReL

"And since we all understood that the person revealed our game, I can only prove his innocence. Yes, I witnessed his presence in our world, but we cannot say at the trial that I arranged it so that a person came to our world , and applied his technology a little to his defense. And although he has the right to protect himself from the attack of the forest animals, which I set on him, his very appearance caused a stir! Yeah ..."

The discord did not finish and thus puzzled both princesses. Celestia rolled her eyes and reprimanded Discord about his unfinished monologue hanging in the air. She really wanted to know what the Lord of Chaos was up to, it was in the general interest. Discord turned to Princess Celestia and snapped her on the nose, causing her to look angry.

"As far as I know, human technology allows you to record something like a movie. Only the technology of his world is more perfect than ours. I think that his robot should also be present in court! And let him return his things. Only those that he puts on his head like glasses. Yes, yes, I followed him and figured out his capabilities." Graduated from Discord.

Celestia rose from her chair and called her sister to follow her. "You are good fellow Discord. I think that our man will be fine. I don't want to torture him for a long time, in the end he is our guest. And now my sister and I will go to visit our captives. And Discord please do not wake me up tonight. I will need to rest good." Then she hugged her sister with a wing and bowed her head and cursed. "Damn politicians. Why is everything so complicated!?"

Discord then looked thoughtfully at Celestia and Luna's asses, scratched his chin, snapped his fingers, and teleported out of the room. He decided to go to his friend in Ponyville. It has been a long time since he visited Fluttershy. She, like his best friend, always accepted his company. Its doors were open to him at any time of the day. And Discord, to be honest, loved this mare. Especially her manner of hiding her eyes behind her mane, which looked very cute and seductive. Then she slowly opened her face in front of him, like a reward for patience. She was unconsciously playing with him, and Discord loved it. He also liked her modesty and love of privacy. In fact, Discord could not understand the jealous look of her bunny, Angel. This nasty, mischievous rabbit always puts on dramas and whims in the presence of Discord. Once he even had to turn the magic over to create an adult silicone pear in the shape of a rabbit, which Angel was sincerely interested in studying this gift. But it wasn't until Fluttershy saw the show that she lightly hit the Chaos Lord on the head and showed her hoof to two rabbits doing natural, adult things, shook her head. Discord smiled innocently and magically turned the rubber bunny into a carrot. Just so as not to upset Angel and Fluttershy. Many residents of Ponyville doubted their friendship, but every time they looked Fluttershy in the eye, they regretted trying to offend Discord with a bad word. But that is another story...

Discord stood in front of the door to Fluttershy's house, which stood on the outskirts of the Forever Free Forest and did not dare to knock, mentally pondering the excuse and what he would say to this humble mare. He didn't want to distract her from his personal affairs, but he needed a friend's company. Of course the princesses were good, but he felt comfortable with Fluttershy. Yes, probably in secret he was even in love with this modest, kind, charming mare. Only he was afraid to admit it. He was afraid of her reaction, to this confession. What if she rejects his love and he loses a friend? And how will her friends react? All this and more tormented the Lord of Chaos. The time will come and he will reveal to her the secret of his feelings ... It was already dark on the street, but it was not too late and several foals near their houses were making snow ponies. Life in Ponyville went on as usual. Someone decorated the facade of their homes with garlands, and someone just walked in pairs and talked sweetly with each other about plans for the upcoming celebrations.

The pensive Discord hovered with his hand near Flatty's door and did not notice how it opened, showing a pink mane fluttering in a light wind.

“Um ... mmm. Discord, hello. What are you doing here? Fluttershy said quietly.

The discord was clearly frightened by such a surprise, but quickly gathered his thoughts, sincerely smiled at his friend, dropped his hand and spoke in an innocent voice. “Hello Fluttershy. May I come to visit you? I really want to talk. I missed you. Sorry, it wasn't that long ago, for the good of the kingdom and everything else. You know the Lord of Chaos is helpful. for our princesses. At the same time, he remembered that he had held Celestia by the tail a week ago, but he quickly dismissed those thoughts.

"Of course, Discord. Come in and I'll make us some chamomile tea with buns!" Fluttershy said cheerfully, learning that her lonely evening would brighten up her Friend's presence. Aha, the man in her house! And she invited Discord to come into the house and wait in the living room while she prepares tea for the guest.

"Thank you Fluttershy, you read my mind as always. Chamomile tea with scones, great idea!" Discord said and showed his right thumb.

And so Fluttershy returned with a tea set and a plate of buns, poured the hot drink into the cups and sipped, waiting for her guest to speak first.

"I know that Princess Celestia invited all the elements of harmony to celebrate in the palace, but I want to tell you that a surprise awaits you!" Discord said and swallowed the second bun. His words sparked genuine curiosity in Fluttershy. But she, in her modesty, did not ask him about the details, only looked playfully at Discord and squeaked briefly in response.

“Wow, I love surprises from Princess Celestia. But um ... um, actually I have a holiday present for you too ... "Flatty said and, as always, timidly turned her head to the side, cutely hiding her eyes behind her mane.

"Oh, I wonder what it might be?" Discord asked with interest.

"Discord, don't ask me about this. Let it be an expected surprise for you." Fluttershy replied and putting her cup down on the table, lowered her head thoughtfully.

But the Lord of Chaos at that moment had his own thoughts.

I'm an idiot! I forgot to prepare a present for Fluttershy. But what to give her? After all, she only needs to be happy! My jokes, of course, are good, but this is not what I want to give her. At one time she was ready to make a sacrifice. And all for my sake. She believes in me and respects my essence ... EXACTLY! I KNOW! I confess my love to her! Yes, after these words my world will not be the same. A feeling will intervene in my destiny, which will begin to destroy my essence. Chaos will fade into the background, and love will take its place. A curse and a gift for me. I can get very sick. It might even die. Of course, in my long life I have been engaged in petty intrigues, like fleeting sex with princesses. But this feeling can be called rather Friendship than Love.

Fluttershy worried about the guest, who sat like a stone for three minutes with a lifeless expression on a pensive face. She put the cup down on the table and walked over to Discord to wave a hoof in front of his face. But he didn't react. And then she looked at him and decided to speak to him in a higher tone. "DISCORD! WHAT DO YOU ABOUT? YOU'RE AFRAID OF ME!" Then she added in a low voice. “Discord. My dear friend, please answer me. " And moisture began to appear in my eyes.

Discord felt a power penetrate his brain and immediately came to his senses.

“Sorry Fluttershy. I'm ... I'm a little crazy. " And he hugged the mare of his heart, trying to comfort her from the rolling tears. She closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder. To which he smiled warmly and ran his right hand over her back. But when he raised his hand back ...

His hand began to blink. Showing that something is wrong. Then pink sparks penetrated his fingers and hurt him like an electric shock. But he endured this minor pain, stared at his hand in shock and thought.

If this and there is what I think, then to me end! But I'm ready to go for it. For love. And help me Celestia!

"Everything will be fine. I promise you my sweet Fluttershy."

He spoke the last words with extraordinary warmth in his voice. Than soothed Flatty's soul. In her thoughts, she thanked Princess Celestia and found an inner sense of confidence in the gift for Discord.

Well good luck to you Discord and Fluttershy!

At this time at Canterlot Palace.

Princesses Celestia and Luna walked down the hallway into the dungeons. In these prisons, criminals were temporarily held, who are to appear before the princesses in the coming days. Luna decided to break the silence and asked her sister.

https://youtu.be/uzyKkKB7mT4?list=RDZwpVPJzNaok

“How do you like this man? What do you think of him? " said Luna.

"I think he suits us." Celestia answered shortly.

Luna walked around Celestia and quietly buried her nose in her face. "I know what you are up to. Please do not overdo it. In a dream I came to him and promised a gift." Then she turned her face aside and spoke. "Perhaps I found my way of heart. And although I love you my sister, I cannot give you my word that he will be able to agree to this. To make us both happy. He will have to get used to everything. How our world and our laws work. But I won't mind your feelings for this man."

Celestia hugged her sister and spoke softly in her ear. “Don't worry, my beloved sister. Everything will be fine. I will only prepare him for you as a whole, so that he can accept this world. And he opened up to us with his feeling. I'll tell him the truth. He needs to know who makes him appear in our lives." Then she looked her sister in the eyes and added. "Now go to Trixie and take care of her."

Then the sisters bowed to each other and dispersed along different corridors. Luna headed to a separate sector where her agent was. Celestia descended the stairs to the quarters of the guards and the prison commandant. Finding the chief, a unicorn in the golden armor of the guard, with the rank of lieutenant, she took the keys to the cell where the man was and gave the order.

"I will interrogate the alien, personally. Please do not disturb me. Everyone is free!"

The guards shrugged in bewilderment, but bowed to the princess and left the cabin and went to the dining room for dinner. Well, since the princess gives the go-ahead for free time, why not? What could happen to the princess, the Sun Goddess?

Celestia mentally smiled in anticipation of a cheerful evening and went to the cell where the lonely man was sitting! ...

POV The Heart Path. Two hours earlier.

I was led under escort by four stoutly built ponies without horns and wings. They were wearing all the same Praetorian armor, and were armed with a spear clasped to the shoulder. Heh, these ponies are funny creatures! How do they hold these spears in battle? They don't have fingers! I think I'll find out over time. I've seen the Trixie use telekinesis to move objects. The world of magical creatures is definitely an interesting place to explore. The truth will have to get used to all this new.

When we went down into the dungeon and the convoy handed me over to the guards of the prison block, many of them were puzzled to see the new two-legged creature. Moreover, and in formal clothes, in which you can only go to the lead party. Heh well done Discord, but I already began to feel ridiculous in all this hiking, winter form of the explorer.

Apparently, the head of the duty shift of the prison block approached me. He examined me with a stern look from head to toe and ordered me to undress to the naked, for examination for the presence of prohibited items, weapons and all that. I didn't mind, besides I'm not in that position. Only when a naked man stood in front of the guards, they took it into their head to laugh at me!

"Ha ha ha! Just look at this freak! There is almost no hair! Are you a sick monkey?" One of the guards told me laughing.

Then they looked at my crotch and I saw these bastards laughing out loud! Someone even fell to the floor holding his stomach and shouted to his comrades. "Ha just look at this size!"

However, their ridicule did not move me. I smiled back at them and said. “It's not about size. The point is how to use it! I bet I can make your mare moan with multiple orgasms for an hour or two! Unless of course you have a mare at all! Or are you a fagot?"

Everyone stopped laughing at my statement, and the boss gave a serious order. “Take the prisoner to the cell. Stop staring at his genitals! And do not blush, because some monkey opened you!"

They were allowed to get dressed, because there was no comfortable temperature in the dungeon, and I trembled, could easily contract pneumonia. How good-natured these ponies are. I have to thank them somehow if I stay alive! They lifted my spirits and I was not angry with them. They are simple servants of the kingdom and must follow orders. It is in my interest not to make enemies for myself in the first days of my arrival in this world. On the contrary, I need friends and, perhaps, those who will warm my heart. With these thoughts, I remembered two princesses with their extraterrestrial beauty. And about the one who saved my life from the wolves. Heh Trixie. She was the first mare that I felt closer. True, this was not intentional, but still! I definitely need to get to know this mare better. I just need to get out of this idiotic mess.

And then the door to my cell closed. I decided to explore the local attractions to pass the time a little. The floor was black, but not cold enough to turn into a snowman. Some kind of crystal shone on the wall, which, as I understand it, also served as a heating. Putting my hand on it, I almost got burned! In the right corner there was what looked like a restroom with the difference that it was not a human toilet. Fuck! It can take a long time if I need to relieve myself! I don't like open space for privacy. There was a low bed in the left corner. On it lay ... And why does not it surprise me !? Hay and straw. And what a wonderful sight. Must try this bed for softness!

Two hours later.

I didn't even try to sleep, I didn't have time for that. Thoughts swirled in my head, haunted. And this straw in my back! Then I heard a familiar voice that ordered all the guards to rest. Hmm .. I think I have visitors. Maybe they brought tea with sweets to brighten up my fate a little? And I haven't eaten since yesterday! The only thing, I drank water from a travel flask. Well, understand for yourself, when you are so anxious, your appetite is disturbed. But now I definitely want to eat! My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of two pairs of hooves, which were probably wearing horseshoes. Because it sounded like metal on stone. The door to my cell opened and she entered!

"Hi! Did you miss me?" Celestia said and slowly walked over to me, and I backed away until my back rested against the wall.

“Forgive me again. Heart Path. I came to take care of you and talk a little. I think you will not deny me this?" Celestia said to me, pressing her cheek to me. From this movement of her, I felt my ear tickle. And the heartbeat quickened.

I instinctively put my arms around her neck and hugged her to my chest. It looked so unusual. As if we are old, close beings. And I, too, succumbed to her game and began to whisper in her ear, rubbing my cheek on her face. This enthusiasm shown by me definitely started to like the white princess. Because I noticed her wings began to rise.

"I'm not against". I answered, and at that moment a feeling of hunger began to spin in my stomach.

The princess looked up from me and looked into my eyes and smiled. "I'm courting you. Are you ready?" Celestia asked.

"Ready for what?" I asked, already suffering from an overabundance of feelings.

She touched her horn to my forehead and whispered, looking at me with her charming violet eyes. "To that!"

And at that moment my body felt an energetic shock that made me feel the speed of atoms. We got into space. What is this teleportation effect? We ended up in some kind of large luxurious room. A fireplace was burning against one wall. And, of course, the king's bed, which can accommodate four of these Celestia! There were many purple pillows all over the room, embroidered with gold thread. As far as I understand, they act like chairs. Although ordinary chairs stood near the table, on which, by the way, dinner was laid, in the center of which there was a jug. I guess what's in it! And then my stomach made sounds again, drawing attention. Looking closely, I also saw an open door to another room. Celestia continued to smile seductively and beckoned me with her hoof to follow her into this room.

I obeyed the princess and went to see her...

"Wow. It's a whole pool." I said in admiration and continued my examination, not forgetting to keep an eye on the princess. And next to it there was a jacuzzi.

The princess turned her head to me and pulled back her mane seductively. Did I already say that when I saw her for the first time, I realized that she was a cool thing? The depth of her gaze betrayed a great experience in these adult activities. She knows exactly what she's doing! Then her horn shone with a golden aura, and gold shoes flew from her hooves, then from her bib, and finally from her crown. She winked at me, pointed her hoof at the jacuzzi and said sweetly. “Take off your clothes and keep me company in this bathroom. Oh, and I ask you not to be ashamed of your nakedness! We are on an equal footing. I'm naked too."

Author's note: When writing the scene below, I was inspired by this music track. Dedicated to all Celestia fans. And let me remind you that my story has a mature rating. Enjoy your reading while listening. ( L-Train - Daybreaker Boogie (feat. 4EverfreeBrony) [Electro Swing] )

I smiled back at her. And now the game continues. Bets are placed.

I slowly took off my entire suit, but when I got to my underwear ... I remembered how the prison guards laughed at me! And at that moment my ears began to burn. To be honest, I was embarrassed to make the princess wait for my efforts to take this step. And when I looked at her embarrassedly, I saw how she was slowly approaching me without taking her eyes off my face.

"Perhaps I know how to instill confidence in you." Then she turned her back to me and I felt her magic tail touch my chest, giving the impression of warm water flowing through my body. Then she turned her head to look at me with her left eye, tore a strand of mane from her face, then opened her mouth and licked her lips seductively slowly. Her antics were not in vain and it began to seem to me that I was getting cramped in boxers! But she did not slow down her onslaught and decided to offer me a more active game.

“Touch my feet. Start with the hooves."

I did so, and when I began to squat slowly to reach her legs with my hands, something that, probably, not everyone can see, opened up to my eyes. She noticed the direction of my gaze and decided to give me a better view by moving her tail to the side! Wow, her pale pink pussy began to wink at me and at the same time some viscous liquid began to stand out from it. All this finally drove me crazy and I spat on my fears, began to caress her legs, smoothly rising up. I rubbed her in soft circular motions and heard her voice emit muffled groans. She clearly enjoyed this erotic moment. I also got pleasure, forgetting about everything in the world, carried away by what fate gives me.

My hands grabbed her buttocks, and my face stopped in front of Celestia's flowing and glowing pussy. I could not resist! Don't blame me for this! You must be in my place to understand what I was experiencing at that moment. Desire to taste her taste.

Already reddened by my gentle hands, Celestia threw back her head and spread her wings with a loud pop. And at that moment, I slowly ran my tongue along the outside of her vulva. At that moment, the princess jerked back slightly, pressing her ass against my face. My cock was about to punch a hole in my underwear while I was playing with my tongue with her pussy. I heard how is she groan my name...

"Ah ... ah, my dear Path of the Heart." Then she closed her eyes and smiled blissfully, and spoke with the same groans. "Please don't stop!"

I realized that she liked my attention. My enthusiasm. My game. And I continued to work with my tongue, but only pushing the walls of her flower. Groping for a specific point below where her clitoris was, I stopped and slowed down. Her legs, which I held tightly with my hands, trembled, and her moans turned into squeals. Aha! I came to the right place! And then her tail began to whip me on the cheek, and after twenty seconds a trickle of love juice flowed from her vagina, which she generously endowed my face with. Wow, she's a really cool baby! But I am not squeamish and therefore gladly accepted the sweet offering.

I got up to my full height and began stroking her back up and down. At that moment, her magical tail coiled around my waist, and she turned her head to look me in the face, still breathing heavily. She clearly did not have enough air. She smiled seductively, her eyes half-closed. She liked my shiny and wet face from her juices and lit her horn to rip off my boxers. I saw them fall next to the rest of the clothes and after three seconds we teleported directly to the jacuzzi.

I leaned against the wall of her luxurious jacuzzi bubbling from below. She came up to me, forming waves of water, and put her front hooves on my shoulders, then slightly parted the rear legs and sank by their hips on my crotch.

Her head was taller than me, and she looked down at me. The bottom of her mane is wet with hot water. She pressed her chest and belly against my body, and her wet mane began to tickle my face. In response, I hugged her waist with my left hand, and with my right began to stroke her neck, smoothly approaching her head. She took my hint and brought her face closer to mine, lightly touching my forehead with her lips, and decided to lick my face with her wide tongue. She really wanted to taste my skin and what was left on my face from her gift.

Then she slowly brought her lips to mine and used her tongue to penetrate my mouth. I didn't want to deny her pleasure. After all, am I a man or a snob boy? I never liked this attitude towards the female sex! A man needs to be confident in relation to a girl. I bet Celestia liked men like that. Who looks at her beauty, and only then at the status.

Then she freed herself from our kiss, and a thin thread of saliva connected to our lips. She looked me in the eyes ... With love? Passion? But I saw the light reflecting in her beautiful big eyes. She smiled at me and began to raise her hips, her horn caught fire, and I felt that under the water my cock caresses her magic. Then she directed him to her pussy and began to smoothly lower her hips, pushing the petals of her juicy bud.

"Ha. Aaaa. Oooh yeah !!!" Celestia groaned and began to slowly rub her belly against my body. I also took the initiative, hugged her tightly around the waist and gently stroked her back. I felt her insides caress me, and, unable to withstand the pressure of pleasure, groaned.

"Ooohhhh ... Ce..lestia. Selly. You really are a wonderful mare! Ah..."

“Oh yes, my dear Path of the Heart ... I have told you about this before. But I believe that a kind word should be supported by deeds." And she winked at me, then her wings flew out of the water, spraying hot drops all over the floor! She threw back her head, her pace began to accelerate. And it began to seem to me that I was already on the brink. My eyes rolled back and I pulled her neck to bite gently. My initiative overwhelmed her wet body, and she began stroking my head and shoulders with her hooves.

"I CUM !!!"

Celestia screamed in a sweet moaning voice. And I bit her neck harder, holding back a moan. But what I could not contain was the fountain of sperm that I released into her, pressing her tightly against me and clinging to her wet, white, woolly, wet body with my fingers.

Time passed, and I did not want to let her go. We both enjoyed the closeness of each other until we gasped. During this time, I studied her body in more detail with my hands, touching and stroking her everywhere, especially those large wings. She's just like an angel from heaven. She liked my touch and rewarded me with a sweet laugh and a low moan. "Mmm ... yes, your hands, this is what I experienced today for the first time in my life."

"In that case, I am also ready to confess! I have never had such fantastic sex in my life." Then I started kissing her breasts
and my right hand began to stroke her sides.

Then Celestia lit her horn and telekinesis removed my hands. She clearly understood that I would not let her just get out of my hands, and began to lift her body, only at that moment I completely left her love flower with my part of the body. She gently looked me in the eyes and teleported the soap, shampoo and loofah.

“Let me continue to take care of you. Stand in front of me, I will wash you. And then, if you want, we can switch places, rub my body with this fragrant shampoo." Celestia said.

"Oh Celestia! You have definitely won my heart today. That is very generous of you." And I stood up to my full height until the water in the jacuzzi reached the level of my thighs.

And she, making a pensive face, began to rub me with soap and a rag for washing dishes. Yes, I needed it. During the two days I was here, I was exhausted and sweaty, but I was also cold, so I just needed a hot bath. But even in my best dreams, I never imagined that a mare would take care of me, simply of divine beauty! Maybe I already died and now in paradise?

When she finished washing and rinsing my body, I snatched the shampoo from her magic hands, went up to her and stroked her lips with words of gratitude.

"Now let me take care of you." She nodded back to me and I started washing her hair. I noticed that her wet mane becomes normal, that is, it does not swing in the invisible wind, and the mane is so long that its tips reach the buttocks. When I was done with this part, she pointed to her wings and gave me instructions on how to properly care for these flying body parts. The lesson was the longest, but the most interesting. This is my first time doing this, so she grabbed my washcloth and playfully moistened my nose with foam. I definitely like her, especially her way of turning such ordinary erotic things into a game! The experience of courting her lover was read in her eyes, in her movements! I'm afraid to even imagine how many men she had. But how many of them were honored with her grace?

When we finished our games, Celestia came up to me and pressed her cheek to my chest.

“Let me dry you and let's go to lunch. Ato will cool down. To be honest, I didn't plan on making love to you before dinner. But you were gorgeous and energetic with your tongue and gentle at the same time. with me. And it definitely turned me on even more. I can only guess that you also got a good release, judging by the way you grabbed my back with your fingers."

We sat down at the table with her, and she opened the cooked food, and I started to salivate. Yes, there was no meat, but there were mushrooms and many more hearty vegetable combinations. Well, there was red wine in the decanter. I just watched with impatience as Celestia poured this noble drink of local, equestrian production and made a toast. "Welcome to Equestria!"

To which I replied with my proposal. "To you and your sister! To Equestria's warmest hospitality!" I said with a grin, recalling the events since my transition to this world.

"Thank you Heart Path. Now let's eat, I know how hungry you are. Moreover, you spent some of your energy on me."

I completely agree with her. And I started trying one of the dishes that looked like a vegetable stew. Celestia did not take her eyes off me, and I still did not understand what was in her soul at that moment. Maybe compassion? Why do I feel that our upcoming conversation will open my eyes to so much? When we finished dinner, she invited me to lie down with her in her bed for a while. And talk about my world.

"Tell me about yourself please." Celestia said lying on her stomach and looking at me with curiosity. Stroking her back with my right hand, I thought that I didn’t want to tell her much about my life. She was mostly passive. So gray that I began to love this color and rainy weather. So I was brief.

My memories.

I was born into a not entirely prosperous family. Although both father and mother worked on the railroad, serving freight cars, they both enjoyed their free time. They had almost no time for me, so my grandmother raised me. Time passed and my parents broke up. I don't know what happened to my mom. Only seven years later I was told that she died under circumstances unknown to me. And my father went to jail! For robbery ... And when I was thirteen years old, my relatives sent me to an orphanage, because they could no longer support me. These were tough times. But I did manage to miss my father a lot. I love my father, over time he freed himself and became my close friend, my only family. While I was at the orphanage, I was able to hone my acting skills. I have performed in local performances. The roles were pretty easy for me, I liked it. When I graduated from school, I entered the Lyceum and began to study to be an assistant locomotive driver. Three years passed, and, having received a diploma in my specialty, I got a job at the locomotive depot. And my life went on rails. The work was hard, but I liked it, and over time I began to learn how to operate an electric locomotive. The drivers praised me for my quick wits and in four years I was able to gain experience. Then I was drafted into the army. I served as a drummer in an artillery repair company. And now my term of service has passed, one year and in the rank of sergeant I returned home. Then I started carrying freight trains again. But this kind of work took up a lot of my time, and I loved freedom. I quit my job and started looking for a new one. And when I found him, two weeks later I found myself in this world. What I do not regret. I have always had a penchant for adventure and a thirst for adventure. Now I need to find out how this world works, and how I can be useful for it!

Author's note: the picture shows an electric locomotive on which I happened to work, really!

Celestia listened to me attentively all this time, enjoying the back massage, which I gave her with one hand, and the left supported my head.

"Perhaps you can tell us more later. I am especially interested in all these technologies. After all, you entered our world with some unknown weapon. For us simple ponies, this can come as a shock." Then she put her head on my chest and added. "I want you to know the truth about how you got into our world ..."

My hand stopped and my heart skipped a beat. "I am ready to listen to you..."

Author's Notes:

And this is all just the beginning. So to be continued ... STOP! I want to confess. For the first time in my life, I wrote a sex scene. If you can write your opinion in the comments, what do you think about it? If that doesn't bother you. This will help me further.

Chapter 5

We lay with Celestia in her bed and had a nice conversation. She confessed to me.

"But you weren't the first person in our world." Celestia continued her revelation, looking into my eyes and letting my hands touch her ears. This statement of hers seriously surprised me, and I asked for details. It's not too late and I definitely don't want to sleep in this position. When the head of a purring princess rests on your chest.

POV Celestia.

Memories Celestia.

About 1200 years ago. Those were the times when my sister and I conquered the era of chaos. The discord turned to stone, and it seemed that the world could finally breathe peacefully again. But we were wrong. A new threat from the southern desert lands, where tribes of nomadic camels lived, was approaching the realm of the ponies. An army of more than twenty thousand barbarian camels was already at our borders. At first, they made simple raids on our southern provinces and thereby tested our combat capabilities. Only then did we begin to realize our mistakes. The barbarians were afraid of our lands because of Discord! Our army was incomplete, not organized and poorly equipped. We ponies have always strived for peace, relying only on magic.

https://youtu.be/yT_rDv96R9s?list=PL60EA75B9FA0CD1F8

When I was able to gather a militia to counter the aggressors, I assumed that my magic would be able to scare this army, since the ponies did not have good weapons. They were mainly peasants with pitchforks and other tools. I was hoping to get a weapon in battle. And that only detachment of royal guards, assembled from strong ponies, unicorns and pegasus, who did not even have armor, I ordered to be left in reserve, in the rear.

My so-called army of about three thousand ponies of all races has camped in one of the villages on the border. After waiting, I ordered the pegasus to patrol the sky. But not all of the scouts returned, and most of them were wounded. Their hooves or wings are riddled with styloid arrows! I looked angrily at the forest where the enemy was waiting. And so they appeared at dawn in a huge mass, what they saw took me by surprise. Obyssinian cats proudly sat on harnessed camels! And each had a folding bow in his hands. But the scouts did not bring me reports that there were mercenaries in this army. So they hid them well. They had a huge numerical advantage and I could hear panic growing among my little ponies. Then, squinting, I saw in the center of this crowd a banner with the image of two snakes fluttering in the wind. I felt strong energy from this banner! As if something were weakening my strength. I decided to confirm my feelings and fired a test magic shot at the advancing barbarians. But my magic has dissipated! At that moment, I had two choices: accept the battle and be defeated, lose my militia, or hastily retreat to save the army. I chose the latter. If only you knew what a shame it is to trot north, and at that moment arrows are showered on you! Four hundred of my ponies never returned home, and the injured died on the way. Because there was simply no time to help them. If we stop, we're finished!

When we got to the location of the "two sisters" castle, I and Luna immediately called an emergency council. The Village Heads and other pony scholars attended. We knew that the enemy was very careful in his tactics. Their exact intentions are not known. Magic is mostly powerless against them if the Standard of Two Serpents is next to them. Luna and I sighed and began to look for help in books. In the meantime, I decided to send a group of ambassadors to the leader of the barbarians. Until recently, I hoped for a peaceful outcome, but did not reject the worst option. Full-fledged war, with heavy casualties among my little ponies. The ruin of our values.

While searching in our library I came across an old dusty book. This book was not remarkable, but I was curious. I don't remember its name anymore, but when my sister and I sat down at the table to look at its contents, two scrolls fell out of it. Then the book crumbled to dust. When Luna raised one of the scrolls with interest, she found on it an old, but understandable for us spell called "There and back." My thoughts were only curiosity, but also caution. What can this spell mean? We looked at each other with Luna and nodded to each other, moved to the center of the hall, and I began to cast this spell. When I finished, my eyes and horn lit up and a spatial portal opened in front of us. Luna wanted to go first, but I grabbed her with my wing and entered it, holding the scroll in a magical grip. I found myself in a meadow, surrounded by dead two-legged creatures. There was a lot of blood, and crows were flying over this field. My eyes widened at the horror of the picture I saw. There was a battle! But who are these creatures? They had bare skin and small body hair. They were wearing strange metal armor, and next to them lay an unknown weapon. As I understood later.

I wandered among the corpses, and tears flowed uncontrollably from my eyes, and there were mixed feelings in my head. And now the portal from which I came to this world closed! But I knew from the spell in the scroll that he was able to open this portal back to my world, so, setting aside my panic, I continued my research. A groaning, painful cry for help came to my ears. I ran in response to that voice and stopped in front of the crawling wounded creature. When he saw me, there was ... A smile on his bloody face? He asked me: “You are a divine being! Have you come for my soul? Finally I will calm down. “And he passed out. I felt sorry for this creature. He was not afraid of me, but on the contrary recognized in me a deity. He smiled at me, as if he was waiting for me, and saw in me a deliverer from suffering. He was wearing a strange helmet with a different crest from the ones I have seen so far. Most likely, it was some kind of commander. Without hesitation, I grabbed this warrior and his weapon with my magic and, having read spells to create a portal back to my world, waited for it to open, the birds flew away from the battlefield, fearing these noisy sounds and light effects.

When, with panic on my face, I ran into the portal carrying the body of a wounded warrior and finding myself back in the library, Luna was already waiting for me with several pony servants.

"Luna quickly! Help! This creature is injured!"

Luna looked at my discoveries in shock, but then ordered the servants to call the unicorn healers. And we took his body to the room of healers and herbalists. I had to undress him, remove all this metal from him. On the side was a cut but hardened wound. The healers began to cast spells on him, and Luna and I washed the wounds from his body. We looked with interest at someone we had never seen in our lives. He had five fingers on his limbs, like a griffin, and there was almost no hair on his body. Only on the head was a shock of black hair. Well, between the legs too...

For three days my sister and I did not leave his bed, but the healers said that he was on the mend. He will live. We had to support his body with vitamins and give him some water. And then on the third day he came to himself, still weak, he got up on his elbows and saw me and my sister. The first question he asked me surprised me, but I was so grateful that he woke up and spoke to me!

“Ave to you. Am I already in heaven? If so, why is my body still hurting from wounds? And who are you?"

A tear rolled from my eyes and fell at his feet. But I gave him the answers. “I… I… I saved you from the tartare that I saw in your world! My name is Celestia and this is my sister Luna." I pointed with my hoof to my sister, who stood in excitement behind me.

After our short conversation, I asked him to rest, we still have a lot to learn about him and his world. And he must get to know our world and its inhabitants...

Two weeks passed and he came to his senses, our healers as they could hastened his recovery. And I continued to look after him. Meanwhile, Luna organized intelligence and sent diplomats with chests of gold to make peace with the barbarians. It helped, but not for long. A week or two passed, and the nomads were again taken for robberies. They were obsessed with greed and lust for easy money. They did not see a great threat from the pony kingdom, but they did not dare to make a full-fledged invasion. Apparently believing that their forces will not be enough to occupy Equestria.

Time passed, and our guest from another world began to get used to his new life. I introduced him to our culture and how our society works. But when I started talking about the war, he listened to me carefully. Striking the table with his fist, he expressed dissatisfaction with our actions against the enemy! The lack of professionalism of our army! We walked with him to the barracks, where we were met by a police pony, and he looked at our outstanding weapon. He shook his head angrily and uttered a few curses, then asked all the ponies to line up on the parade ground and call all the blacksmiths and gunsmiths. I watched with interest his enthusiasm. And let him teach us how to fight. He was the one we need in these difficult times. His name was Maxim Scipio. As I later learned from our conversation with him, he was a centurion in the Roman cohort of the Praetorian Guard. Their detachment was a reserve on the battlefield, and when sharp resistance came, his second century was thrown to cover the central batteries of Onagra. But the enemy had a large number of cavalry archers, and the detachment came under heavy enemy fire, then cavalry launched an offensive and dispersed the rest of the Centuria and artillerymen. Their commander sent the rest of the cohort to help, but it was too late, the artillery was defeated. The Roman legion "Flavius ​​Firma" won this battle, but suffered significant losses and therefore refused to further advance. The wounded were removed from the battlefield, but not all. Maximus Scipio at that moment was unconsciously strewn with the bodies of his dead comrades, and the soldiers decided that their commander was dead. So he woke up and met me. For which we were both grateful to fate. But I was ashamed in front of him! I saved him from the warriors in his world so that he could see the war in our world. I was very sorry, but I decided that it was difficult to argue with fate. But he didn't mind and was grateful that I saved him. So I decided to help him find his calling in the ranks of the army of our kingdom. Be a warrior. Be the commander of the infantry. So we did with Luna and honored him with such an honor and awarded him the rank of general. We have transferred power and resources from our vaults to him so that he can train our militias and make them professional soldiers.

In a matter of months, a supply of bronze was established. All this underdeveloped industry earned money for the war machine. Maximus made all the necessary measurements for the ponies to customize the armor for them. He also assessed the capabilities of our anatomy and figured out how our hooves work in the grasping reflex. He concluded that these limbs could handle holding the sword, but it took some training to get used to it. Of course, all this surprised him, but he was serious about helping our ponies with his knowledge. After a while, following the example of his set of armor and weapons, the first samples were made, only for ponies.

Luna and I have often watched our human friend spend time with our warriors. He chased and trained them, forcing them to punish their heads. He loved that our ponies had good potential for endurance and obedience. Therefore, already six months later, an army of trained and well-equipped soldiers stood before us. Ponies are legionnaires. Equus's First Legion consisted of five thousand stallions and mares. For the Pegasus, he set his own tasks and for the ground forces his own. Everything was organized and ready to fight the enemies of Equestria on the first command!

At the council of leaders, it was decided to send this newly formed legion to save the southern provinces from the raids of the barbarians. Maximus, Luna and I went with the legion into battle.

https://youtu.be/HmM_rlnYnmw?list=PL60EA75B9FA0CD1F8

Commander Maximus ordered Pegasus Squadron to throw fire arrows and other projectiles into the forest where the feline scouts took refuge. A few minutes later, a fire broke out over the forest where Obyssian's scouts had set up an ambush, and smoke rose into the sky in large clouds. A cry of terror and panic echoed from the forest. A cloud of arrows flew in response to our ranks. And the commander ordered our units to urgently reorganize into the "Turtle" formation so that the arrow would not slip into this wall of shields. Everything went well and our losses were kept to a minimum. We weren't insured, but we were ready. An hour later, when the pegasus called the clouds, they extinguished forest fires and at the same time formed mud on the field. This dirt then played in our favor. From behind the forest thickets, we heard the roar of an approaching army of nomadic camels. We calmly watched as the enemy galloped towards our positions, and they had a clear numerical advantage. What definitely surprised these barbarians was the way our front stood. At the head of which was a two-legged unknown creature in metal armor.

I saw the same banner of two serpents appear in the center of this horde!

"KEEP FORMATION! EVERYONE STAND IN PLACE! DO NOT SHOW FEAR !!! TODAY they will be defeated! AND THEY WILL RUN IN FEAR !!! REMEMBER MY WORDS!!!!" Commander Maximus encouraged our mounted legionaries. And Luna and I exchanged glances with each other, telekinesis pulled out our gladiuses and stood next to the other warriors.

Our legionnaires, seeing their princesses in the forefront, were immediately delighted, we heard shouts of approval from the line. "GLORY TO YOU PRINCESS Celestia! GLORY PRINCESS Luna! GLORY TO GENERAL MAXIMUS! Hurrah! Let's stand up for Equestria!"

https://youtu.be/xkRgWU1FS3U?list=PL60EA75B9FA0CD1F8

The clouds have not yet covered us, the pouring rain on the ground has turned into a growing mush. The camels noticed this, but it was too late. I saw the first and second lines of their attack begin to slide and fall facedown into this mud! And the third line, having received a large shock acceleration, crashed into the formed pile of bodies. At that moment, the commander ordered the unicorn archers to use their bows to destroy this barbaric chaos! Since it was impossible to use magic directly on the enemy because of their magic banner. And now from our side were flying clouds of arrows, and we have already seen how the enemy perishes under this deadly rain! And then they decided to surround us, continuing to fire from a distance. Commander Maximus noticed this maneuver and, with a sense of deja vu, ordered the heavy infantry to rebuild on the flanks, to weaken the center, and the Pegasus to engage from the air to avoid encirclement. The shooters of our center continued to shoot arrows at the camels and cats. But the cats, soaked in the rain, stopped shooting so dexterously that they often missed or hit the shield wall! At that moment, an enemy arrow hit my wing, but could not penetrate the armor on my body. Pulling this murder weapon from my right wing, I looked with a smirk at my opponents and their baseless attempts to defeat us.

Commander Maximus saw this, ran up to me and asked: "Princess Celestia. Princess Luna. I respect your courage that you showed on the battlefield with all the warriors, but wouldn't you better retreat to a safe distance? You know, they shoot here!"

"No, Commander Maximus, Luna and I will show who we really are! Give us a cohort of the best warriors, and we will close the hole in the center! Otherwise the camels will be able to rush to our arrows and surprise us!"

"They can't! I prepared a surprise for them, so I opened our center! But I'll give you a cohort from the reserve and I'll go with you myself! Then he turned to the troops and, looking at this protracted carnage at a distance, waved his hand and gave an order." Attention to all formations ! We engage in hand-to-hand combat, they are already pretty tired, they don't have enough strength to beat us. I think now they will decide to keep their strength just to run! The Ninth Cohort of the Equus Legion is marching with the princesses to the center! FORWARD! TO VICTORY!"

A general roar of approval and blows to shields rolled through our ranks. I, Luna, Commander Maximus and the ninth cohort moved to the indicated point, from where our unicorns fired continuously at the enemy. But I saw dead and wounded on our side. And the very feeling when you see dying comrades or subjects took possession of me, and I ordered us to speed up our step! Finally the camels noticed our weak point, and the cats on the humps took out their sabers and rushed to our center. But we managed to arrive just in time, and Commander Maximus gave orders to the unicorns. “Stop shooting! LIFT THE WALL OF COPIES FACE FORWARD!"

The unicorns hastened to obey the order. And wooden stakes and spears rose from the grass into the air to the height of camels! Luna and I were very surprised when camel riders and cats crashed into this hedgehog. The sight was terrible. It was like putting a bunch of bodies on a spit! Streams of blood rushed into our formation and painted our faces. But it only gave me spirit. I did not envy these camels then. The rear ranks of the enemy, seeing all the hopelessness of this attack, fled, but those who did not manage to escape were awaited by a blow from the sky! Pegasus continued his swift strikes at the weak enemy units until a field appeared in front of us, on which lay thousands of killed and wounded barbarians!

And so we won a victory over the nomadic tribes. Since then, they have no longer had aggressive thoughts against our kingdom. When we returned, we were greeted as victors and as the paths that the first cavalry legion took! My sister and I, as well as Commander Maximus, were thrown on our hooves. And they asked for a special reward for Maximus to erect a monument to him. But he refused, citing the needlessness of this pathos. He was glad he could help us.

As time went on, life in the kingdom gradually improved, and Maximus was homesick. He wanted a family and children! But our mares could not give him offspring. Although he often did not deny them attention. And the mares were kind to him, showing the virtues of their hospitality. He was worried about something and did not talk about anything. The other day I went up to him with the second There and Back scroll and invited him home if he wants to. Naturally, he will have gifts from our world. Gold and jewelry. And two commemorative feathers, one white, the other blue. He thought a little and gave his consent. A week later, we gathered in the hall to say goodbye to those who were our saviors in difficult times. The moon even shed a tear at such a touching moment. He hugged us, and we proceeded to spell, after which he left our world. I asked one of the craftsmen to cast me a bronze figurine of this man, and to this day I keep it in my box.

Here's a story ...

POV Heart Path.

"If you noticed our soldiers still have uniforms that can remind you of human history." Celestia told me.

“This is a really interesting story. Can you show me this figurine? “I said to the princess while continuing to massage her neck, which caused her to close her eyes.

"Maybe later. Now tell me how you guessed that we were playing this pathos? Later I will explain to you what it was for when the trial is over."

"Heh. In the first hours of my stay in this world, I met a mare who, after certain circumstances, became my friend. We both had problems, we did not know each other, but when we could be killed, we ended up on the same side! Trixie! Yes. Then she tells me that she has an order from Princess Luna to take me to the palace and give me all the help he can. Then I met Discord, who at first scared me, but made it clear that he did not intend to harm us. And my friend -bot appreciated the chaos lord's jokes. Discord was a nice guy and helped us a little by lightening my three-container cargo. I didn't expect more. So thank him for that. By the way, where is my cargo now?"

"Oh, don't worry. He's okay. The magic is dispelled. We've sent it to the royal vault. Continue."

“Well, then some pegasus unit is clearly trying to arrest us without a liquidation order. Otherwise they wouldn't even talk. By the way, Major Quick Strike is a great pony! You must reward him for being able to arrest us without loss! Along the way, he suggested that his task might just be a game for guidance. After all, two unknown creatures and one pony in the same company cannot be the invaders of Equestria! So I wasn't the only one who guessed it was a game. And Princess Luna! She came to me twice in a dream, we even kissed. She let me know that she was looking forward to my arrival! Then, under escort, we are escorted to the throne room, where I first meet two charming princesses. And when you approached me with these ridiculous accusations, I saw that your eyes were shining, but not from anger, but, as it were, from interest in me. After all, you were also expecting me, right?"

Celestia lifted her head from my chest to look into my eyes. With love? Or plays with me again. But then her hoof reached out to touch my cheek. "Yes. This is so. Perhaps even all my life! I have not seen a person for a very long time as you can understand from my story. Me and my sister need you. This world needs you! And believe me, I also see passion in your eyes!"

“Well, now tell me further. How and who is involved in this adventure !? I promise I won't get angry. I like what I have now. After all, I fucked the prom queen! So I'm lucky! “I said the last words clearly in high spirits. To which Celestia hit me lightly in the rib with her hoof, which caused laughter.

“Yes, I made you appear in our world. Well, not only me, but also ... ”She did not have time to finish, as at that moment the sound of teleportation was heard in the room. Princess Luna stood in front of us and looked at us with a raised eyebrow.

"And ... Hi Luna. How did it go with Trixie?" Celestia said lifting her head from my chest.

"She's okay, as far as I understand, the two of you are the same." Then she looked into my eyes and smiled. "Well, how do you like my sister, the Way of the Heart?"

This sudden question confused and confused me! But I was not prepared for the fact that Luna has free access to her sister. In general, I had to tell the truth.

"You have a really wonderful sister Luna! And she is oh ... um ..." Luna didn’t let me finish and teleported right in front of my face to put her tongue in my mouth.

At first I was surprised by her sudden attack. But then I remembered that we had already done this with Luna in my dream and she wanted a repetition, only in the real world. She must have been waiting for this moment all this time. And I can tell you that she, like her sister, is not so bad. Only she is more aggressive than Celestia. I don’t mind, but I’m tired. So I put my arms around her neck and broke our kiss, bringing my forehead to her horn and descending so that our eyes met. She was clearly shorter than Celestia. But there is nothing wrong with that. Each of them has its own trait, which I have to learn, besides the fact that they have a different color and height. But I remembered that Celestia had not finished her revelation. I turned to her and saw her satisfied smile. She had a kind of sparkle in her eyes, as if she liked it when her sister was kissed in front of her.

"I'm sorry Luna. But I'm tired, and Celestia wanted to tell me something." With these words, I got up and dressed to sit by the fireplace. Celestia and Luna also sat down at the table and both looked at me with guilty eyes.

"The Heart Path. I and the Moon caused you to appear in our world. But Discord was the one who arranged it all. It was he who opened the portal to our world. And here you are. Are you angry with us?" Celestia said and tried to catch my body language more clearly as a reaction to her words.

But I put my hands behind my head and looked at both princesses. Which appeared in my life like a tsunami, turning my inner world upside down. But I don’t regret it and I don’t get mad at them. They gave me the opportunity to see and feel something new in the short time that I am here. And more affection, especially from Celestia! While I was listening to the revelations from both princesses (the actions described in the prologue), two pairs of eyes fell on the fourth empty chair. Or did it seem to me and the wine hit on the head?

Luna rolled her eyes and calmly said, "Discord. You can already leave. Completely!"

"Not fun at all!" The Lord of Chaos said and his body appeared on the chair with crossed arms and legs.

"Discord. I asked you not to bother me tonight. Your presence is welcome though. You need to talk to your client." Then she took a decanter of wine and poured it into glasses to hold one in front of Discord. "Maybe you can drink some wine with us?"

Discord reached out to take the offered glass of wine and glanced conspiratorially at Celestia and then at me. I, in turn, calmly looked at everyone sitting at the table and mentally compared these creatures with people. Their behavior is not much different.

"Wow! Celestia, are you finally asking me not to poison myself with your tea? What's the catch? But don't answer, I'll guess." And he got up and went to the bathroom, sniffing the air. He then teleported to Celestia and sniffed her mane. Scaring me, he appeared behind me and started sniffing my head. I started to worry about this guy. Hah, I guess what this joker is driving at.

Stop. What is he doing? He just ran his lion's finger across my cheek and licked it with his serpentine tongue! I wonder how he didn't scratch me?

Having finished the analysis, he took out a magnifying glass and began to examine my shoulder, on which, oddly enough, he found hair from the mane of Celestia and Luna! It was funny for me to watch this comedy that I decided to make a Discord, but I already feel sleepy and I could not help yawning.

"Mmm ... and you fast moving person!" The Lord of Chaos told me and snapped his fingers. Celestia was covered in rose petals of different colors from the magic cloud above her head. However, Luna and I were amused.

Celestia blew out a couple of petals that fell on her nose, took a sip of wine, and rolled her eyes at her friend's antics. "I wouldn't be surprised if you spy on me all this time. And thanks for not pouring chocolate rain on me!"

"No problem. All princesses for you! But only I want to return our thoughts to the fact that tomorrow there will be a trial over a person and I need to talk." And then he spoke to me seriously.

"Of course, Discord. Although I don't think there is a need for this. Since at the trial I will be able to convince the politicians that the alien is not dangerous. And he cannot be held responsible for his appearance in this world." Celestia said. The moon at that moment looked with a share of concern at my sleepy eyes. And she decided to intervene.

"I am begging you! Leave this wretched courtyard alone! I will lead the Path of the Heart to my room. He needs to sleep, see for yourself. " She pointed her hoof in my direction and I was grateful for her concern. I really need a good rest. "And don't worry, sister, I'll bring him back to his cell at dawn. So that the guards don't suspect his escape."

"You're right, sister. Go rest. I hope you take good care of our man!" Celestia said and everyone stood up, but Discord did not stop at his pranks. And snapping his fingers, he put the wedding dress on the body of Princess Luna!

I walked over to the smiling Discord, pushed him in the side and said. "Wow, Mr. Discord. You are a smart joker! But I love what I see! Luna, you look great!"

Celestia joined us to look at her sister and as she passed me, she hit me with her tail. Which caused a surge of emotions in me, but not for long.

"Thanks everyone and good night!" I bowed to Discord and Celestia, but could not resist and imprinted a kiss on her lips for the last time. She did not mind and in return said good night to me and her sister.

Luna came up to me and asked me, putting the horn to my forehead. "Ready?"

I yawned again and took her by the neck said softly. "Let's go and see your room." I said with a smile.

POV Trixie.

"Hey! Get your dirty hooves off my ass! " I shouted to one of the guards as they pushed me into the cell and looked angrily into his eyes. I'll fry his balls when they release me!

"Hey shut up, mare! And be glad I'm not in the mood to nail you to the wall for being a traitor to EQUESTRIA and aiding an alien invasion!" One of the guards told me with a disdainful look. And then he continued to scoff.

"Fuck you! I'm not a traitor! And he does not invade our kingdom! And he is perhaps even better than a pony!" With these words, I turned and crossed my hooves on my chest.

"So he is better than a pony, yes? Yes, Trixie, I know you and the fact that you are a failure! You are unlucky in friendship with us ponies and you found her on the side. With an alien! Well, well. Continue in the same spirit. And you will be ridiculed in everyone town! So good luck to you Beatrix Lulamoon!"

"Are you against friendship with members of another race? Are you a racist?" I already calmly answered the mockery of this stallion. Oh help them Princess Luna when I am released! I already know what spell I'm using.

The door to the cell slammed shut, and this vile stallion never answered. Well, to hell with him. I need to think and collect my thoughts. Me too ... I'm hungry. And then I remembered how, at a reception at the princesses, the Path of the Heart said something to Celestia, which made it itch under my tail. As I understand it, he may be an idiot, but he is definitely not a fool and most likely knows what he is doing. I just hope he doesn't get punished for it in tomorrow's trial. Although the princess forgave him. Interesting ... I saw the way she looked at him after these words. And there was no resentment in her eyes. But what is this shine? Was she flirting with him with her eyes? It seems to me that Major Quickstrike was right, and that's just part of the game. But Equestria Intelligence does not feel it necessary to inform me of their plans.

Memories Trixie. Scout training school.

Immediately after Princess Luna interceded for me in court two years ago, she handed me over to some group of unicorn mares. She ordered to teach me a craft that will benefit our kingdom. So, I was recruited into Equestria Central Intelligence Agency. Yes, I was surprised that the great and powerful Trixie, and even an intelligence agent in Equestria?! Ha! I like. For over six months, I was not allowed to leave the training camp located in a secret location near Las Pegasus. Heh, the sign on our base building said it was the Mentally Retarded Pony Society! Yes. With humor, these guys were doing well. There were ten unicorns, pegasus and earth ponies in the group of students. The days at the camp were tough, but I was coping. I especially enjoyed the disguise lessons. At one of these lessons, I met a unicorn mare. Her name was Sassy Saddles.

She loved to dress in cheeky outfits. Everything depended on her mood! She was slightly taller than other mares and had a model figure. In some ways, she was similar to Fleur Dis Lee. Only her mane was fiery. Well, if she put on one of her killer outfits, put on her makeup, then all the stallions did nothing but distract themselves from their studies. I haven't really seen her date any of our stallions. But this is her life, and I did not disturb her. We weren't friends, but sometimes we liked to have fun together. Once a month we were given a day off and a scholarship, after which we ordered a carriage to Las Pegasus. There we had fun to the fullest, at the local strip bar for mares, where stallions and griffins put on shows. And then we were returned to the camp. Naturally drunk and penniless! But those were unforgettable days. What I liked about her character was her cocky demeanor. She could easily slap our teacher in Seduction of Men. Yes Yes. And there were such lessons too. We are intelligence agents. And we must be able to receive information, even if for this we must wag our tail in front of the minotaur! Hard work overall, but there are benefits. A good salary and the opportunity to settle in a hotel room at the expense of the kingdom's treasury. Plus once a year you could take a ticket and go on vacation to one of the resorts. True, there was a reservation, if Equestria urgently needs the services of a scout, then everything, goodbye, beach! I've only been with CIA Equestria for a year and a half, and in six months I'll be promoted to senior lieutenant. Then the salary will be higher. Of course, I have to pay most of the fine that the court imposed on me two years ago, but Princess Luna gave me a well-paying job. For which I will be grateful to her more than once. And I had to take out a loan to buy a new van. It was better equipped and even had a special warehouse for reconnaissance equipment. I will not say what it is and where! And do not persuade! After graduation, we went in different directions. We were ordered to find a job because we had to keep the secret of our profession. Usually the agent was called on a special connection. Through encrypted letters. Or as in my case in a dream. I don't know if this is true or not, but there were rumors that Princess Luna was the chief chief of the Equestria CIA. But it's unethical for me to ask her about it ... Hmm ... I wonder how Sassy Saddles is doing? I heard that she went to Canterlot and got a job as a manager in a boutique. Well, well, clothes are her element, especially daring! We are not friends, but I would like to become her friend. I've always liked her. Sometimes I even had fleeting sexual fantasies with this model mare appearance. No, don't think bad about me! I'm not a lesbian, just dreaming is not harmful! Well, you yourself will meet her and understand me...

I lay on the bed full of straw and thought about what would happen next.And what about the fate of my new friend, the Heart Path? Heh. And I didn’t notice that in a dream I ... um ... kissed him. Although I don't even remember what I dreamed about! But he dreamed of Princess Luna! Yes, all this is strange. Hmm, what's that noise?

Princess Luna went down to the dungeon where her agent was. She stopped before the guards who bowed to her. She lit her horn and a scroll fell in front of the guard on duty, ordering the release of Beatrix Lulamoon.

"Bring a prisoner to me! Secret protocol. Beatrix Lulamoon is released from custody, I will take her." Luna said in an imperious voice, and the guards immediately ran to carry out her order.

When the door to my cell opened, the same guard appeared on the threshold, who mocked me and said in a calm voice that I needed to go to a meeting with Princess Luna. Then I found out that I was indeed released on bail. Well, secret protocol, the CIA worked, namely Princess Luna, to free their agent. Luna asked me to follow her, and we walked in silence until we were in her private chambers. Her night guards didn't even pay attention to me. These guys were famous for their special devotion to the princess of the night. And they were her personal, elite unit. Then Luna allowed me to sit down at the table, at which dinner had already been laid. But I modestly began to refuse! But she insisted, saying that I deserved it all. Spend the night in her room tonight! Her beds. Together with her. Wow. What is happening? How am I so different from other ponies that she has shown her love and mercy to me more than once?

"Trixie listen to me carefully. There is a bathroom in that room, dinner is set on the table, there is wine in that decanter. Use everything, then go to rest. And don't argue with me! Today you are my guest! And tomorrow you can stay to have a party in our narrow circle. The Heart Path will also be with us. I give my word, everything will be all right with him! " Princess Luna told me and stroked me affectionately on the shoulder. Tears rolled down at her words. Tears of happiness!

I could not resist and took her hoof to press it harder against my cheek. She was not afraid of this, but on the contrary hugged me as if I were her daughter! Not less! At that moment, I already decided for myself that if necessary, I would give my life for Princess Luna! "Thank you Princess Luna! You are very kind to me. I will never forget this!"

Luna wrapped her hooves around my face, kissed my forehead gently, then kissed my cheek, and whispered in my ear. "Trust me, Trixie. I owe you just as much. Now I have to go check the yard at night and then my sister. And don't be alarmed if I show up late at night. There is enough room on the bed. Well, rest." - she teleported out of the room, leaving me alone. Yes ... And again I am alone...

POV Heart Path.

The moon took us to her room, and the events of this evening were constantly spinning in my thoughts. Yes Celestia. It looks like I won't be able to sleep, despite the fact that I really want it now. To which I did not hesitate to hasten to tell the moon ... But ... But who is this sleeping in her bed?

"Hush. Take off your clothes and lie on the free part of the bed. I'll lie down next to you and make sure you and Trixie sleep well. Don't be so surprised. Celestia freed you, and I Trixie." Luna gave me an explanation in a whisper.

“Well, if you don’t mind and you can sleep three together on the same bed, then heh… yeah. Do you want me to lie in the middle? " I also whispered to Princess Luna.

Luna smiled at me and her horn lit up. After which, her wedding dress (a playful gift from Discord) disappeared. And my clothes fell off me and were folded in the closet. Hmm ... this magic is handy.

Then I did not stop the princess of the night and happily, but quietly, so as not to wake up Trixie, went to bed in the middle, and the moon was on my left. She gently ran her hoof over my chest and said goodnight. But I could not resist, took her hoof with my right hand and kissed her. Which made the princess laugh. She stole us with her wing and I closed my eyes. But I heard the ringing of magic in my left ear and somehow quickly passed out.

Seven hours later.

I began to open my eyes and something in my back is not comfortable, and even pricks. Stop. I abruptly opened my eyes and jumped up from ... Well, yes, from the prison bed. And I sleep in the damn hay! Hehe, well, actually, I had to come back here, so thanks Luna for not waking me up and getting me dressed. I will be grateful to her if it works out. Uhhh my bladder! I think I need to go to the toilet! I looked at the hole in the corner of the camera and grimaced. But damn it, nowhere to go. What am I afraid of?

When I finished my business and washed my face, it's good that there is a sink, the guards came in the door and brought me a tray with breakfast and an envelope on it. When I asked the guards who the letter was from, they simply brushed me off with words. “I don’t know who you are or what you are. Human. But your patron ordered us to deliver you this breakfast from the royal kitchen. And you better read the letter yourself and not ask me. You will understand everything yourself. Although, you probably already guessed it. What a bon appetit, sir. And I apologize for what happened yesterday! Well, for laughing at you. " He finished and left, closing the cell, leaving me alone with my breakfast and a note.

I looked at the note and read its contents.

I'm sorry I didn't wake you up, but you slept so well that I didn't dare. I hope you are not angry about having to end up in this awful cell again. But don't worry, in a few hours there will be a trial, politicians and journalists will be present. Don't be surprised, this event has already become sensational, and the ponies want to know who you are and what you will be judged for! Everything will be fine, my sister and Discord, we won't let you get hurt. In the end, the final word will be ours. And we have already made a decision in advance. It's just that this pathos is needed to show that the law works. And our citizens are under his protection. Celestia didn't have time to tell you much. So I'll do it. Your appearance was noticed by the inhabitants of one of the cities on the clouds. They call him Cloudsdale. I will tell you more about this city later. All in all, this event and the noise you made on the northern trail to Canterlot caused panic among the Pegasus. They sent a message that some kind of magical anomaly could threaten Equestria. That's why Celestia had to send a squad to arrest you! Your robot and all its boxes will be present for the test. Which we have to study in the presence of the castle guard. Alas, such a procedure is required by the Equestria security protocol. Until then, we'll all see you later. Oh yes, hi from Trixie. She has only been without you for a few hours and already misses you. Very nice of her ...
Your princess of the night Luna!

Hmm ... It makes sense. Thanks for your concern Luna. And thank you Trixie for thinking of me.

I put the note aside, opened my plate and there .... so delicious! Wow, these are Potato Rolls! And a glass of orange juice! Heh somebody fell in love with me?

Three hours later. In the courtroom. Canterlot Palace.

I was sitting in the same throne room, only there was a rearrangement. Several tables in the middle and many benches along the walls with about two hundred ponies! There are so many of them! Someone is aiming the flash of their camera at me and my robot. Well, Trixie too. Yes, we sat on a separate bench next to us in a separate chair, Discord sat in a bespoke suit. And several dozen palace guards held back the crowd of ponies. I hope rotten tomatoes won't fly in our direction? I don't like rotten vegetables. Finally, we waited for two princesses and accusers to enter the hall. Of course, we all got up and calmly waited for the beginning of the second part. And so Princess Celestia read the charges to us again. After that, witnesses were questioned, several pegasus unknown to me, as well as those who yesterday tried to arrest us. Including Major Swift Strike. Who had a really gloomy face. He definitely didn't want to be involved in all this idiocy! Then Celestia ordered all my containers to be brought. To which I shrugged my shoulders and said that only I can open these containers using a special code. The princess nodded to me, and I, accompanied by three guards, began an autopsy and pulled out things. I started with white.

"This is a humanitarian aid. I have medicine and provisions for two weeks." Princess Luna and one of the accusers approached us to study the cargo better. I went over to the gray container and opened it.

“This container holds a weapon for me and my robotic assistant. Of course, its use is only allowed in emergencies. But this red-handled suitcase contains a pistol and ammunition. It is also designed for self-defense during my research mission. kits for my robot so that it can repair itself from damage." Luna also approached and examined the contents of the container with interest. Well, I got to the last one. Green.

“And in this box are my two spare suits and shoes. This section contains books on the history of mankind and other literature for reading at your leisure. And a monitor that connects to my glasses to play video. “Then I asked permission from Princess Luna so that I could connect the device so that everyone in the room could see a picture of events from the moment I entered this world. She agreed, and I put on my glasses, put the monitor on the table in the center of the courtroom and turned it so that the princess and the politicians could see with their own eyes what the camera was shooting on my glasses and what the robot was shooting. The total recording time was so long that with the permission of Princess Celestia, I skipped ahead, stopping only at those moments that were more interesting and meaningful to the court. Of course, the sound and flash of cameras at this very moment were shooting at me, as if I was participating in a light show! Well, I understand them, they see all this human technology for the first time.

When we got to the end, everyone saw something that clearly amazed them, especially the moment when my robot was shooting at the tree wolves with machine guns. They were also interested in the moment when I fought the wolves with the electric discharges of my gloves. And even the moment when Trixie saved my life, and our embrace of friendship at that moment. Celestia watched all this with curiosity and looked from me to Trixie and the robot. Discord then made a defensive speech, saying that my actions were based on self-defense, not aggression. Since the video shows me dragging Trixie into her van the moment I heard the wolves howling, it means that I had an intention to protect her from possible danger. The robot's actions were also purely in self-defense, and also to protect Trixie and me. Well, those two pegasus who started hitting him in the metal face forced him to active defense. For which a separate analysis was promised with these pegasuses due to incorrect actions during their mission. Yes, Discord is a smart guy. He somehow managed to erase the record in those moments when I met him. Probably to exclude yourself from unnecessary suspicions. Although what will happen to him? He is the lord of chaos! In general, the princesses retired for the meeting. And ten minutes later they returned and Celestia read the verdict.

We got up from the bench and listened carefully to what the princess was saying. Although I already began to hold back my laughter with difficulty. I already wanted to end it all as soon as possible and lock myself in a room with these princesses! All day. And all night. But I heard that they have a festive event planned, so they are clearly in a hurry to end all this pathos.

“Accused Way of the Heart. Defendant Beatrix Lulamoon. After hearing case No. ..., as well as hearing all the witnesses and the prosecution, as well as the defense, as well as analyzing and evaluating your story, the court took into account that your intentions were not aggressive towards the Kingdom of Equestria. Your appearance in our world does not entail invasion plans. Your assignment is based on a research mission. And your attitude towards the pony Beatrix Lulamoon was based solely on extraordinary circumstances. What's more, you've learned friendship! And I really appreciate it! Your robot is also not responsible for the fact that he had to protect himself and you, as well as your property. In connection with the above, the court ruled ...."

Well yes! It's good to tickle your nerves, so Celestia looked at us carefully, barely holding back her smile and continued.

"Heart Path. Beatrix Lulamoon. And the Night Mist robot! I am acquittal for you. And I ask the guards to release them in the courtroom. That's all! The trial is over!"

And at that moment everyone stamped their hooves and began tossing their caps into the air. Reporters began to approach us in a crowd and the guards could no longer restrain them. And not what it was. I needed our faces to appear in local newspapers. Although if you look at the number of journalists, then most likely this scale will be definitely larger! I even saw in this crowd ... what are they called? Oh yes I remembered! Griffin! The head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion. An interesting hybrid. Hahahah Mdaa .. Something my thoughts at this moment obviously went wrong! Hmm ... I cleared my throat and began, whenever possible, to answer journalists' questions, not forgetting to wave my hand, and pose for the cameras.

"Stop showing off." The robot told me and thus drew attention to itself!

"Look at him! Is this thing talking !? Wow, you know what I mean ... mmm, Night fog, your name, huh? " one of the stallions asked with a notebook and a pencil.

"Yes, yes, all right, ask him questions. He is my press secretary. Well, Trixie and I must take our leave!" Then I began to make my way through the crowd of ponies, and Trixie, rolling her eyes at everything that was happening, followed me.

"AA Heart Path !? Where are we going?" Trixie told me as she came level with me and pressed against my left leg.

"First, let's get out of here. I don't really like being in the spotlight! And then you tell me where we're going next! But I have to take things from Major Swift Strike. And then find Luna or Celestia. They need to know, what are their plans for us! " We went out into the corridor, and our robot friend was already running after us, fleeing the reporters.

A couple of guards also followed us down the hallway, not thinking about what I was doing, I was in a good mood. Yes, I turned a corner and hit my belly right on the face of some purple pony with wings and a horn.

"Oh. Sorry, please. Whoa ..." I said clearly in an awkward position. Before me stood a pony in a golden tiara, and behind her was five more ponies and one violet lizard! Huh. Who can you not meet in this Equestria. What is it with them?

"Hi! Let me guess, you are an alien from another planet and arrived here through an air portal, jumping with a parachute. And then you recognized Trixie! By the way, hello to you Trixie!" The pink pony was in my arms so quickly that I just went crazy. She even put her hoof on my shoulder and began to play with her eyebrows on the last words. But the way she said it quickly put me into a trance!

"Uh ... uh ... um ... Hi! My name is Heart Path! And yes, you guessed everything as it is. But how do you know all this?" Slightly stuttering at first, I answered this pink pony.

"Pinkie Pie! Stop scaring this man!" The purple mare said, in the voice of an aspiring leader. Stop. Isn't she Princess Twilight Sparkle? I noticed that the princes here are different from the rest of the ponies. They have both a horn and wings. Then my gears started spinning in my head. So I decided to put Pinkie Pie's pink pony on the floor. And I decided to ask this group of ponies a question.

"As far as I understand you are Princess Twilight Sparkle?"

"Yes, how do you know that?" Then she looked at Trixie with a serious face and added. “Hi Trixie. I hope you finally feel better and have found friends."

Then we were surrounded by curiosity, all these mares, a pink mare with a curly mane, tried to talk to my robot, but he did not have time to answer her questions. I feel like his program will crash. They started asking me a lot of questions. But I suggested that we meet later, where I will tell them more about myself. They agreed, but in the end they gave their names and waved their hooves in greeting.

"Twilight Sparkle. Princess of Friendship!"

"Applejack. I'm a friend of everyone here. And I work on the apple farm!"

"Oh and I'm Pinkie Pie! I love parties and parties and my friends. If you want I'll be your friend? And we'll have a super party in honor of you and your arrival!"

“My name is Rarity! And I am a fashion connoisseur and creator of all the beauty that ponies can wear. And not only ponies. By the way, you have an interesting outfit ... I think we should talk to you later, more about this."

Then that same pony with a rainbow mane and boasting flew up to me. And from her gaze I wanted to stand at attention. But then she couldn't help laughing and decided to introduce herself.

“My name is Rainbow Dash! And it was an honor for you to see the fastest pilot in Equestria in front of you! " And she's the only one who gave me a hoof to shake. Which surprised me a little, besides her modesty.

"You know Rainbow? I love your hairstyle! I think you live up to your name." I said and made her smile and a little embarrassed, to which Rarity rolled her eyes.

"Um. And I'm Fluttershy." A mare with a pink mane came up to me, behind which her right eye was hidden. Well, she's not talkative, as far as I understand. But when she looked more closely into my eyes. She did something that surprised everyone present, including me. She hugged my leg and gently rubbed her cheek against my stomach. And looking into my eyes again, she said everything in the same quiet voice. "Forgive me the Heart Path, but I see in you what it is that makes my soul calmer and I have no fear next to you. Your fate somehow adjoins me. And I cannot explain it. Over time, you will know everything ..."

Everyone stood and blinked, they obviously did not see their friend in such a state. I dropped my left hand and stroked this kind mare on the head. But my hand began to tremble, as if I was in contact with some kind of energy right now. I cannot explain what it is. I had the same number of questions.

Then she smiled at me sincerely and walked over to her friends with a glance at me. As if I were her savior. But from what? But my thoughts were interrupted by a cough...

"Hi. I'm Spike. I am the first and faithful assistant to the Princess of Friendship Twilight Sparkle." He was just below my waist and, judging by his voice, was still young.

"Are you a dragon?" I asked him.

He smiled at me and threw a trickle of green flame into the air, probably to show off. "Yes! I am a dragon."

At that moment, a security unicorn ran up to us and, having greeted everyone, turned to us. “Heart Path. Lady Beatrix Lulamoon. Princess Twilight Sparkle. And the elements of harmony. Please follow me. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are waiting for you at an informal meeting."

I hope they have prepared something interesting this time ... Well, let's go visit two Sisters in the company of seven mares, one robot and a dragon!...

Author's Notes:

And now our main character finally recognizes the mane 6. But why did Fluttershy behave so mysteriously from the Path of the Heart? We will learn about this in the following chapters.

Chapter 6 (version 0.01 corrected and expanded)

Our group was accommodated in a spacious office for informal meetings, and we waited for Princess Celestia to sign some documents. My robot was sitting next to me, and Pinkie Pie tried to get a better look at the body of this unknown metal alien of hers. Trixie pressed herself against me on the right side. Is it just me or is she trying to play her game? Because I noticed the direction of her gaze towards the Twilight Sparkle. Yes, we sat in a semicircle, and these two mares all this time did not take their eyes off each other. As if they are talking at this moment, which only they can know. Twilight glanced at me, then at Trixie and the way my friend sat almost completely next to me. But when she noticed that I was looking at her with a raised eyebrow, she turned away in embarrassment, pretending to be innocent. Rainbow Dash, sitting next to her pinky finger, clearly missed all this and, judging by her fluttering wings, clearly needed movement. The others looked at the princesses.

“And so we are glad to welcome everyone. Thank you for accepting our invitation to celebrate the celebration at the palace. Celestia said affectionately, looking at the six ponies. - As far as I understand, you are already familiar with our unusual friend and his robot assistant. But let's get down to business. Tomorrow is a holiday, and tonight in the palace in a narrow circle we will have a small feast ... No nobles. It was my sister's decision and I completely agree with her. Let's get to know our friend better, he will tell us about his world. And you, Twilight Sparkle, may be interested in the books that came with this person from another world."

Twilight Sparkle, clearly agitated by the news, jumped from her pillow and clapped her hooves. Then she noticed that everyone was looking at her as if she was discovered for her favorite fetish! She smiled broadly at everyone and, with red cheeks, sat down on her pillow, signaling to Princess Celestia that she was ready to listen.

"Yes, thank you Twilight for your sincere interest. And now about you Heart Path. Since you are our guest, I think you will not mind living in the palace for a while. Until the news about you and your friend disperses. in our kingdom. Well, there I think we can find something useful for you." Princess Celestia said.

"Actually, I have a better idea." Princess Luna objected. Celestia brought her hoof to her chin and rubbed it thoughtfully, trying to guess her sister's plans.

"Go on, I'm wondering what's on your mind." Celestia replied looking at her sister.

"Heart Path and Beatrix Lulamoon will take a vacation with us, but then we will send them to one of our best hotels. And Night Fog will also be with you. Live with Trixie for free for a week or two, walk around town. Check out our laws. culture, meet other ponies." She then teleported the pouch of gold coins in front of Trixie's hooves, smiled at her, and continued, “Go to Canterlot's best stores to shop! Let the pony get used to your presence. And they will know that you are adequate. ”She then teleported the scroll of the royal seal into my hands, and I stared at the princess, puzzled.

"What is it?"

"This scroll contains a proposal for your appointment. You will only read it when you are with Trixie at the hotel. It also contains your temporary ID. This will give you the freedom to move around the kingdom as a legal emigrant. And it will ensure that your royal rights are protected. service ... If you agree with my proposal, just sign the paper and give it to me personally. You have a pass to the palace. If necessary, you can visit us."

Celestia got up from the table and approached Trixie and me, everyone was watching her closely, and even Rainbow Dash began to show interest.

"Heart Path. You can agree to my sister's proposal or mine. It is up to you to decide how it will be convenient for you. But I still think that it would be better for you to live with us in the palace." She gave me that look again, as if she wasn't at all embarrassed by the presence of other ponies.

Yes, baby, I understand what you're driving at.

"Good. I think Princess Luna's proposal would be more acceptable to me. I don't like being a bird in a cage. In fact, I can't wait to see the city. I think Trixie won't mind if she gives me a tour." I said, looking into the princess's eyes and hugging Trixie by the shoulders. This was noticed by all the ponies, especially Rarity, who somehow mysteriously smiled at us.

Trixie caught Rarity's eye and turned to me, burying her chin. So what are they doing these ponies? Well, just like little children! I already guessed that Trixie is trying to create envy or jealousy in these ponies, with whom, apparently, there was some kind of incident in her past life. I will ask her about this later. But there is only one ... I like this attitude. And although Trixie and I just became friends, I'm not against forcing events, I still have a lot to learn in this world, and I believe that this behavior is quite normal in mares. But I give you my word that I will not harm any mare if she wants my attention. Of course, if I'm not too busy ... uh ... even more important, another mare!

"Trixie doesn't mind joining our guest and my friend Heart Path. I will be your guide and promise to give you any help and answer any questions that I can answer." Then she turned her head to Rarity and stuck out her tongue! Huh. It seems this drama amuses not only me. Celestia even stepped aside to observe with interest the behavior of the two mares. Luna covered her mouth with a hoof to stifle a laugh. And Applejack waved her hoof in front of Rarity's eyes, but she did not react, continuing to glare at Trixie without malice!

There was silence in the room, but suddenly Rarity turned to Princess Celestia, bowed slightly and said, “Dear Princess Celestia! I ask you to give me the opportunity to accompany our friend and Trixie as well. I want to help him get used to it and also choose a wardrobe for him, and I am also very interested in learning about the fashion of his world. As far as I understand, your appearance is not complete without clothes. And now it is winter and you urgently need to pick up something so that you do not freeze. Perhaps I can buy the materials you need here in Canterlot and make clothes for you. Of course, if you do not mind my presence..." And she bowed her head down and began to pick the floor with her hoof, giving herself an air of innocence.

Celestia looked inquiringly at Trixie and me, and at that moment I thoughtfully looked at Rarity, or rather at the curls of her mane. And she seemed to notice my gaze and quickly blinked her eyelashes. Leaving me no choice in solving this problem. But it really makes sense. But I have no money for all this!

“Actually, I don't mind if we take our ... uh ... vacation? Well, actually something like this. In the company of Lady Trixie, Lady Rarity, and my robotic assistant. There is only one minor nuance. If I understand correctly, then some expenses await us, but I have no money! Do you understand that I don't want to be a burden to you? But I need to sell at least some things from the earthly world...” Before I could finish, Princess Celestia lit her horn and heavy bag. gold coins fell into my hands.

"Please do not worry, Heart Path. You are our new friend, we will not leave you in a difficult situation, besides, I am sure that you will serve the kingdom more than once! And we will give all your gifts to Twilight Sparkle for a more detailed study. If you do not mind. What other wishes? " Celestia told me.

“I want to tell you again. You are very generous to me, Celestia! And yes, I don't mind if Princess Twilight takes my things to study them in detail. But I will need to bring my glasses and gloves, as well as batteries for my equipment. Who knows, maybe it will be useful to me urgently. My stay in this world has shown that there are dangers here too!“ My last words piqued the curiosity of all the ponies except Celestia and Luna. They just looked at us with understanding.

Then Rainbow Dash came up to me and looked at me seriously and spoke. "What dangers did you face? What happened? Tell us."

"I think I'd better show you this from my device, but only later, it will be more interesting than my story. Well, in short, some tree wolves attacked me and my robot friend! And it just happened, an unequal battle ensued. I could perish, but Trixie saved my life. For which I am immensely grateful. And if necessary, I will sacrifice my health for her sake! " I hugged Trixie closer to me. And my words and these movements surprised and interested everyone at the same time. Rainbow Dash even looked at Trixie with respect. Trixie was embarrassed by the attention and lowered her head, still pressing against my chest.

"So you became friends?" Twilight asked us. Then she continued. "You had to face difficulties and you were able to overcome them together." Then she came up to us and unexpectedly stroked Trixie on the shoulder, lightly touching my arm. “Well done, Trixie. I am very proud of you."

Trixie and I both laughed at the same time remembering how before this friendship we took turns knocking each other out!

"Why are you laughing?" Twilight asked us, puzzled.

"Oh nothing. It's okay! It's just that Trixie and I have an interesting dating experience! In general, later I'll tell you, well, or show a video from my device."

Twilight Sparkle tilted her head forward and looked curiously into my eyes. "And what is this device?"

Then I remembered and, looking at the other two princesses, decided that I needed to ask them for something else. Celestia. Moon. Could you please ask me to move all my cargo and equipment to some room? I will need to carefully examine the contents myself and put things in order."

"Oh, by the way! Thank you for reminding you! All your luggage will be waiting for you in a specially designated guest room for the palace! It's not far from our chambers. You will all be accommodated in pairs. And I wonder. Heart Path, you have no objection if we place you and Trixie? Oh and don't be embarrassed, there is a sofa and a bed. Actually, this room usually accommodates Princess Mi Amore Cadence and her husband Shining Armor. "Celestia told us in high spirits, to which Luna put a hoof to her forehead and shook her head.

Twilight Sparkle's eyes fluttered, and Rainbow Dash struggled to keep from laughing. Then Luna looked at Trixie, then at me and winked.

“Yes, better not look under the bed! Cadence very much asked us not to do this until her next visit. Once a week, one of our maids cleans this room and then leaves with a red face. But we don't need to be professors to understand that hiding there." Princess Celestia said then she looked at all the mares and continued.

"For now, everyone is free. The guards will guide you to the guest rooms. You decide who will stay with whom!"

We all got up from the pillows and, thanking the princesses, went out to go to the guest wing of the palace.

Six hours later. Party at Canterlot Palace.

It was decided to hold the holiday on the eve of the holiday, as always, in a special festive hall. Numerous servants and guards performed their duties. On the tables were dishes from the palace chefs, who had done their best today, and a few ponies and a man stood by a large decorated Christmas tree and chatted at ease. Celestia and Luna also took part in the conversation. But the Chaos Lord was clearly not having fun. All this time he tried to cope with his feelings. He was haunted by the thought that today he would open his heart to Fluttershy. But for himself, he had already decided everything. But then he stopped abruptly and decided that he had to be himself. And these ponies need to be entertained. The man is probably already bored. Let them see what Discord Party is!

Celestia was standing with her back to the tree and did not notice how one of its branches bent back from the acceleration and whipped the princess in the ass!

“AA-AY! Discord! Why did you do that?" Celestia said angrily, looking around her and rubbing her hoof over the bruised spot.

The man, however, was amused by this performance, as he could hardly restrain a smile, covering it with his palm.

"Oh, okay! I know you like these games."

"Yes. But now is not the time for that. We are actually listening to the person about their vacation in their world. So ... why don't you ask someone to dance?"

Discord appeared in front of Pinkie Pie, who was happily jumping in place, expecting a good evening, and held out his hand to her with the words. "Pinkie Pie, be so kind, keep me company!" And, without waiting for an answer, he teleported to the center of the hall. A pink mare, a party girl, is not averse to changing the environment a little, because listening to a person is, of course, interesting, but she wanted more active fun! The man and his robot looked at all this with a grin and, exchanging glances, went to the center of the hall. Heart Path decided to show a little resourcefulness and took Trixie in his arms. Which at first fought off him, but then sighed and relaxed. Once again, she looked over her human friend's shoulder to show her tongue, looking into Rarity's eyes! But Rarity just rolled her eyes and mentally told herself that she hadn't lost that round yet. Night Fog, without hesitation, decided with his processor that his time had come! He turned on the music, then a light smoke went from him across the floor.

Author's note: heh yeah. I ran into a problem while writing this episode. Namely, how to convey the atmosphere through a selection of dance music. So that would be in a modern style. Therefore, since, according to the plan, it was the Night Fog robot that activated the function of playing one of the tracks. Long thought what exactly you can put? And I decided that this clip would do. But that's just my opinion. Whether to turn it on or not is up to you. (It takes 10 minutes, please note!)

https://youtu.be/ElflhzYhhlE

Heart Path with a smile looked into the eyes of Trixie, whom he placed next to him and asked. “Well, could you show me how ponies dance? Let's say we have already started acquaintance with the culture of Equestria!"

Yes, Trixie sometimes had to attend dance clubs by occupation, but she never danced with a stallion! That is, with a biped. Well, she meant a human man. But it seems that no one else has done this in Equestria and therefore she will be happy to be the first!

Useful experience. But how to do it? What if you tried it like this ...? Trixie's thoughts were spinning and she decided to surprise her human friend.

"Let's first try, as ponies usually do! I will dance in front of you on four hooves. And you improvise in your own way! You are not a little boy! But already an adult stallion! That is, I wanted to tell the man. And then, when the music dies down, I will put my front hooves on your shoulders, and you put your arms around my waist! " Then she realized that she was unusually open in this matter, and her cheeks turned red. But she struggled with herself internally, remembering her time at the scout training camp. "In fact, I saw a mare once dancing with a minotaur."

"Of course I'm wondering what you're capable of, Trixie! Stop. Do you have minotaurs???"

"Eh..uh..mm, Yeah. Maybe you'll see them sometime!"

"Good! Let's dance!" The Heart Path ended the conversation. Then he looked around at the other ponies, who sometimes looked at him with curiosity, clearly expecting his further action. They liked the way this man carried the mare in his arms...

Now I will show them dancing! The man thought to himself and began to move his body, arms and legs, merging into one with the music. He did not even suspect at this moment that at least one mysterious mare was watching him.

Celestia and Luna watched the Discord and Pinkie Pie dance, Heart Path and Trixie, and then the rest of the ponies began to join them. Applejack walked over to Rarity and nudged her in the side and invited her to join the snack tables. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy have already danced with each other. Only Twilight Sparkle had no time for fun. She continued to study the person. The way it looks. How he moves. His manners. She suddenly remembered how, in today's informal meeting, this man spoke to Princess Celestia as if they were close friends.

The way she looked at him. Her eyes read ... Love? No, it can't be! Or maybe? He just called her Celestia, not Princess Celestia! And he turned to me using the title! Ugh ... I don't like being called Princess Twilight Sparkle! I miss the days when things were easier. But I did not choose this fate, but she chose me. And now I stand next to other princesses and watch my friends dance! What hay!?Twilight thought to herself. And she ran to her friends to take part in their dance number.

At the same time, Discord got tired of dancing with the active Pinkie Pie and decided to turn its attention to Fluttershy. With a snap of his fingers, he teleported between Rainbow Dash and the mare of his heart. His tail started tickling Rainbow Dash's nose, to which she sneezed and swore. But Fluttershy looked her friend in the eye in anticipation.

"Hey! Discord! What the hell are you doing? You could just say you want to dance with Fluttershy and all that! " Rainbow Dash was indignant and, without waiting for an answer, flew up to Applejack and Rarity, who had already begun to argue about which mares their new human friend would like best. At the same time, Rarity was ready to prove in practice that she was able to attract the attention of this man and give him unforgettable emotions and sensations! To which Applejack rolled her eyes and was about to shove some fruit into her friend's mouth. But there were no apples nearby, and she began to squint at the peeled bananas!

“Fluttershy, will you keep me company? Besides, I want to tell you something later." Discord said, fingering his fingers nervously as he looked hopefully into Fluttershy's eyes.

"Of course, Discord! Why not!?" Fluttershy responded by pressing her chest against Discord, standing on her hind hooves, and placing her front ones in his chaotic hands.

Luna, shaking her head to the beat of the music and watching the man, thought that this man was something incredible. He has been in this world for three days, but he did not withdraw into himself, but on the contrary opened his heart for Equestria. Yes, of course she was aware that he was being trained to be accepted into this world. And the sight of magic talking ponies does not shock him so much. Discord's brother had brainwashed him well enough without affecting his psyche.

"It seems our friend Discord has a new feeling in his soul!" Princess Luna said to her sister.

“I fear the worst, Luna. What if the legend turns out to be true?"

"Do you mean that if the Lord of Chaos gets a mutual feeling of love, then he will gradually begin to lose his magic?" Luna asked Celestia.

"Yes. And we must be ready to help him with this. But only he knows exactly how."

"We will not disregard this. Now, do not think badly. Start having fun, if you want, you can go to the cake table! And stop staring at the man!" Luna humorously spoke the last phrase, gently placing her wing on Celestia's back.

Celestia rolled her eyes and smiled and leaned towards her sister to tell her in her ear to keep their conversation private. “Who would say! And you yourself see how this man dances, hugs Trixie. And mentally I want to be in her place! I know you well, sister. So don't blush if you get caught!" Celestia replied in a soft, rather cheerful tone ...

“Let's not be deceived, sister. We both like him! And thinking about such a hug is not at all harmful.” Luna said with a sigh.

"I can tell you from my own experience that he is just hugging madly! His fingers were still leaving marks on my back. And a bite in the neck. It's good that you can't see him behind that bib." Celestia whispered in her sister's ear, her eyes fixed on the dancing man.

"If I understand correctly, the tradition of seniority is respected. You were the first, to which I certainly have no objection, but I will be next. But I will have my own approach."

At that moment, Princess Celestia and Luna were approached by one of the maids, a unicorn mare, who was holding a tray of drinks. When both princesses had a glass of soft drinks, the maid bowed and began serving the guests. Then she walked past the dancers and looked at the man who, with slow movements, pressed the blue mare to his chest. She noted the strangeness of this pair, as the mare had to stand on his hind hooves and place the front hooves on the man's shoulders. And there was something about this pair that this mare in the uniform of a waiter wanted, craving that feeling. It struck her as quite romantic, especially when the mare pressed her cheek against him, clearly showing everyone her affection for this man. But what is remarkable is that there was an aura of reciprocity in these feelings. The unicorn maid, unnoticed by everyone, watched this picture and licked her lips. Then she put down the tray and left the living room to go to the servants' closet. After making sure there was no one, she closed the door. Going to the mirror, she examined her appearance for a moment. Then her eyes lit up green and the same colored flame engulfed her body, revealing the true image of this pony!

“Hmm ... this man is an interesting species, especially his hands. Aha ... This mare must have been very happy when he held her by the waist! We'll have to put him under surveillance. Until then, I must leave. The guards will soon spot the missing servant. “Said the unknown pony, a mare with a horn and beetle wings, continuing to examine himself in the mirror. And even pose, mentally fantasizing about intimacy with this person! "So what? I am a beautiful and showy mare, especially in the art of love. Is not it?

Author's note: What? Chrysalis is sexy too! No. I'm not a pervert!

The mysterious black pony with beetle wings turned into a unicorn servant again and left the utility room. Two guards walked by, and one of them winked at her, hinting that he liked her looks. Although she knew it wasn't her real appearance. She smiled and blinked at the guard. But this pair of guards continued to patrol the palace aisles. And when they moved away from the servant's mare, she heard them bragging to each other...

"Did you see? She answered me!" One of the guards said.

"Don't forget, you moron, we're on duty! But today I was frolicking with one of the maid's mares. If you only knew how she can swallow!" The second guard said.

"Are you talking about your sister?" The first guard scolded.

"Shut up! I'm not saying that your mom is still energetic in horse racing!"

"You what fucked my mother?"

“Why are you such an idiot? I was joking. Worn out nags don't turn me on! Now shut up and keep a close eye on the corridor as we go to the barracks. We don't need princess party problems!"

When both guards turned into the corridor to the right, the mare, turning into a servant, shook her head, grinning mockingly at these stupid guards and decided it was time to leave the palace before she was found. But the numerous patrols clearly made it difficult for her. This is a common occurrence, during significant events in the palace, the guards were more active and supported by patrols. Plus an invisible magic barrier that scans all ponies entering and leaving the palace grounds. This was done to prevent infiltrators such as changelings from entering. But she was no ordinary changeling. She was the queen of the swarm. And her magical disguise ability was more perfect. A skill honed over the centuries allowed her to ignore such security measures.

https://youtu.be/FK6_o1tcIj0

The changeling queen, disguised as a pony maid, walked slowly down the hallway in the opposite direction. If she is not mistaken, then this road leads to the palace kitchen. She was lucky, and on the way, no longer meeting patrols, she went into the kitchen and saw the fastidious cooks and other servants, who here and there were carrying trays of new dishes. Someone, probably a chef, shouted to the cooks that their hooves were crooked, that they did not know how to work properly with the serving, so that it was royally beautiful. The changeling queen opened her eyes wide at what she saw and mentally swore. Oh shit. I hope they won't force me to participate in this kitchen chaos!

Gathering her courage and looking at the table with trays, she decided to pretend that she was also taking part. At the moment, her goal is to create the look of a busy pony. And so, with a tray in a magical grip, on which there were already snacks from sandwiches with cucumbers, she decided to calmly walk through the crowd of bustling kitchen workers.

“Hurry up, put these vegetables in the oven! What are you standing there for? You have a hundred unpeeled bananas for dessert, get to work! Lots of bums! "- shouted the head of the kitchen.

The transformed unicorn mare, dressed as a servant, decided to take a moment to exit through the opposite door leading to the princess's dining room. And she accidentally brushed her shoulder against a mare dressed as a maid. Apologizing to her, she continued her difficult path with mental curses. But she had no idea that this mare, which she accidentally touched, was watching her all this time. And when this changeling queen in the form of a unicorn mare entered the dining room for the princesses and slammed the door behind her, a maid, a blue unicorn with a long fiery mane up to her shoulders, approached the stallion dressed as a cook. They nodded to each other, and the stallion chef whispered a command in her ear.

“Start the last phase. Be careful!"

"I'll just tickle her!" The mare answered.

A mare with a fiery red long mane waited a minute and followed the mysterious servant. Entering the princess's dining room, she looked around and calmly left this room to enter the main hallway of the palace in the outbuilding of the princesses' private quarters. Then she went to the utility room to change. Sentry patrols passed by, giving no priority to these mares as palace servants.

And so our mysterious maid, the queen of changelings, finally got to the service wing, bypassing several security posts and distributing all the sandwiches to the guards (at the expense of the establishment), decided that the way to the emergency exit for the servants was free, getting rid of the tray, putting it on the windowsill behind the curtain , she walked slowly towards the exit to the street. It is noteworthy that there were no guards here, as they stood in the street so as not to be distracted by mares in sexy maid outfits. The lighting in this hallway was dim, which was good for the changeling queen. But she did not manage to open this door ... Because the throwing knife crashed into it dangerously close to the mare's head!

The changeling queen in the guise of a unicorn mare froze in place and slowly turned her head back. Before her stood a unicorn mare with her long, fiery red hair loose. On both pairs of hooves, up to the flexion joint, there were black socks, on the back there was a saddle belt, in which various throwing weapons were placed. Shurikens, knives and even thick needles with rounded colored caps. She wore a black mask on her face, revealing only her eyes and forehead. And unsurprisingly, she even wore cut-out skinny black shorts that covered her insignia. The changeling queen raised an eyebrow and looked inquiringly at this unknown mare.

“Are you leaving without saying goodbye? And you even forgot to wear a scarf." The mysterious masked mare lit her horn and a knitted green scarf flew from behind towards the changeling queen.

"Oh, thank you for your concern. And yes, goodbye! And happy warming hearth! But can you tell me your name?" The changeling queen showed no nervousness or fear. She mentally prepared herself for the fact that she would have to retreat hastily, but she would have to deal with this mare. And judging by the fact that this mare was dressed as a ninja stripper, she won't let her go so easily. A squad of changeling scouts were stationed in Canterlot to act as an evacuation team for her.

But the masked mare did not answer, but only walked slowly towards the changeling queen. Then her horn lit and a note flew out of the saddle, which she handed to the changeling queen. "Read this."

The changeling queen kept calm as she lit the magic, intercepted the note and read it with her eyes.

Hello Chrysalis! Yes Yes. Don't be surprised, your move was obvious. You have always been attracted to something new. I bet you already know about our human friend from another world. But you should know that my sister and I do not take offense at you for walking unceremoniously around the palace, pretending to be our servant. After all, you are doing pretty well. And you deserve respect. On this I want to change the direction of thought. It's been a little over a year since your swarm invaded our city, but keep in mind, we ponies can forgive. And we do not hold grudges, at least for a long time. But I have a suggestion. If you agree, just nod to my agent who sent you this message and she will lead you to the informal meeting room. There we will talk peacefully with you, and after that you can leave. And yes, it's better to keep the disguise just in case.
Princess of the night Luna.

Are they kidding me? What if I disagree with this proposal? What then? Are these two princesses trying to drag me, Queen Chrysalis, into their game? I'm not your toy! Chrysalis mused angrily.

Chrysalis looked angrily into the mare's eyes and, tearing up the note, threw it in her face. Then she turned and walked quickly to the door. She clearly needs to run. But if anything, then plan B (a breakthrough with a fight will also work) she has not had a good, kind female fight for a long time.

"Option (by bad) also foreseen!" The masked mare screamed and threw another throwing knife into the door bolt, so that it could not be opened without effort or magic.

This insolence clearly angered Chrysalis, but she turned back to the masked mare with a vicious grin. Her horn and eyes flashed with a green flame, in the blink of an eye her true form appeared before this cheeky mare in a mask.

“Hahaha. Yeah baby! I don't mind having some fun! Come to me and I'll kick your ass. I don't need magic. I can handle you with my hooves! " Chrysalis said in a gloating voice and squatted down to call the mare with her right hoof, and raised her left over her head. Then, somehow, she stood on her hind hooves, stretching out to her full height. Which surprised the masked mare.

https://youtu.be/RvOzzGGcb7E

And how does she stand on two legs? The masked mare thought. And then she lit her horn, which alerted Queen Chrysalis a little and all her clothes and equipment fell to the floor. Then she stuck out her chest and looked into the eyes of Chrysalis, said to her with a smile.

"My name is Sassy Saddles. And I don't mind having fun either!"

Chrysalis lowered her hooves and accelerated to slam Cheeky Saddle right in the face, but missed. Since at that moment Sassi jumped forward and was behind the changeling queen. Which surprised and pissed off Chrysalis.

But focusing quickly, she slammed her hind hoof toward the Sassy Saddles, only to cut the air again.

"Oh, you bitch!" Chrysalis screamed.

"Look who's Talking!?" Sassy yelled back and leapt onto the Chrysalis's back.

Chrysalis decided to knock her off the back with a blow from Sassi's head to the jaw, and it had an effect. She screamed in pain, fell on her back and began to rub the bruised area with her hoof. But noticing that Chrysalis's hind hoof flies into her head from above, she decided to forget about the pain and dodge, rolling to the side.

Sessie jumped to her feet, then roundhouse kick that hit Chrysalis in the legs. Chrysalis fell and hit the floor with her chest. But quickly regaining her balance, she flew on her wings and kicked Sassi in the head, throwing her back. Sassi landed on her back and, groaning in pain, rolled onto his stomach to slowly get to his feet and catch his breath after the fall. But Chrysalis did not give her a break and again rushed to the attack to lay Sassi in the chest. But Sassi jumped up and quickly grabbed Chrysalis by the leg with her hooves to crawl under her and throw her on her back. The distraught changeling queen was able to hook Sassi by the neck to carry her away. Then they both began their somersaults on the floor, rolling on top of each other on their backs and kicking each naked body with their hooves. Sassi already had traces of blood on her face and hooves, and the pain in her body was already beginning to make itself felt, but she held on to the adrenaline surge, like Chrysalis, only her blood was green.

Then, scattering in different directions and standing opposite each other, they decided that a respite for both would be relevant. They bowed their heads so that the tips of the horns were aimed at each other. Neither side had a victory, and at that moment it clearly did not suit them. Then, catching their breath, they both jumped on their hind hooves, stood up to their full height, and again, with a dull thud, threw them on the floor so that they galloped at each other. At the same time, looking in the eyes, implying the game, who is the first to be scared.

Chrysalis once again decided to go for a trick, using her wings to hit her cheeky saddles in flight. But as she began her takeoff, Sassi landed on her back in acceleration to slide across the floor and kicked into Chrysalis's stomach with her hoof. And thereby knocked the air out of her. Chrysalis, with a grimace on her face, fell to the floor, clutching at the bruised spot with her hooves and greedily gasping for air. In doing so, she was at a disadvantage as her bottom was turned to face Sassy.

Poor Chrysalis, already worn out and shabby, simply lay on her side, stretched out on the floor.

But Sassy Saddles was tired too, and her tailbone ached because she obviously hurt him with this trick and rubbed her ass on the floor. She felt sorry for the changeling queen and crept quietly towards her, still unable to rise from bruises and back pain. She lay opposite Chrysalis and looked sympathetically into her eyes. To which Chrysalis calmly sighed and slowly put her front hoof on Sassi's cheek to remove the sweaty mane from her face, thereby completely revealing her face. Sassi felt that there was no threat in this act, and decided to smile. Who knows, maybe Chrysalis is just playing with her. Yes, they fought without magic, but nobody canceled the scam...

Two panting mares lay face to face almost in close proximity. Their faces clearly needed grooming. The manes were disheveled. This lasted a minute, after which Chrysalis's patience finally snapped. She stuck out her serpentine tongue and licked the blood off the surprised Sassy Saddles.

Sassi watched this intimate activity of the changeling queen for a while, then her body began to relax. Feeling the urge to send her the same kindness, she also decided to stick out her tongue to caress Chrysalis's face. But then Chrysalis stopped and looked seriously at Sassi.

"Well, let's say you won this round. What next? Will you handcuff me and put me to bed to torture me?" Chrysalis asked.

"No. I will not torture you, Chrysalis. But you must transform into a pony and follow me. I promise you safety. Of course, if only you yourself want it." Sassi said affectionately as she began to rise to her feet. Then she helped Chrysalis up, helping her with a hoof.

"Well, I'll go with you. You know how to persuade!" Chrysalis said and turned into a unicorn mare again.

Sassi donned her extravagant outfit with a saddle again, only without a mask. This was no longer necessary. And both of them limped slightly down the corridor to the guest wing. To temporarily place Chrysalis in the room and make sure that she does not do stupid things, and notify the authorities about the completion of her mission.

So, the two mares headed through the halls of the palace, not forgetting to greet the patrols of the guard stallions, smiling seductively and flapping their eyelashes. But one of the patrol officers decided to be vigilant and stop these mares, as he could not help but pay attention to the Sassy Saddles and her appearance. And although Chrysalis licked her face, she looked ... um ... a little shabby after the fight. She clearly needed to clean herself up and ask the medic to cast healing spells.

"Meme are you all right?" Asked the patrol officer and the three stallion guards.

"Yes. But why are you so worried, Lieutenant?" Sassy Saddles responded with a straight face.

The officer looked closely at Sassy Saddles' face, then shifted his gaze to her unusual stripper outfit and continued asking questions, raising an eyebrow.

"Ma'am, could you give me an identity document and give me an answer who you are and where are you going?" Then he glanced at another mare dressed as a servant. "Shouldn't you be doing your party room duties to serve the princesses' guests?"

Sessie rolled her eyes at this stubborn officer and lit her horn to use her magic and extract the ID from her belt. Then she handed it to him and he began to study the document carefully. At the same time, the two guards standing behind him tensed noticeably, one of them began to twirl a hoof near his temple, showing that their lieutenant was clearly a jerk. Why would he stop two mares who, to be honest, looked like two strippers invited to a bachelor party!?

The officer, after reading the document and looking at Sassy Saddles with a serious face, asked a question that surprised him and the other two guards, and Chrysalis too.

"It says here that you are Princess Luna's personal stripper and that you've been invited to a party?!"

"Yes. What's the problem, Lieutenant?"

The lieutenant recalled the briefing given before joining the patrol in the palace. The head of the Palace garrison made it clear that if the patrol meets a mare with such a certificate, then he should leave her alone. Secret protocol. The officer handed over the document and, stepping aside, stood at attention, he well understood what the secret protocol meant.

“Sorry for the delay, ma'am. You can go freely. " -Said the officer, and the whole patrol walked around the two mares and headed further down the corridor. One of the guardsmen smiled goodbye at the two mares.

The two mares continued on their way, but Chrysalis was curious.

“You’re pretty good at hitting your hoof. For a stripper. So who are you really?"

The cheeky Saddles shook their heads and smiled, staring into her eyes and hitting Chrysalis's ass with his tail. "You know very well that every woman should have her own secrets."

Chrysalis stopped, gently touched Sassi's face with her hoof and stuck out her tongue to lick her lips seductively. “Give me ten minutes to be alone with you, and I will reveal all your secrets. And even the one who attracts you. So I can become the object of your desire and give you what you want." - Said Chrysalis and again licked Sassi's lips.

"I know about your abilities, it is for this reason that you are invited to an informal meeting with Princess Luna."

"Do you see? You are already revealing secrets to me!" Chrysalis said with a slight grin.

But Chrysalis's curiosity did not subside. “Tell Sassi, have you seen this man who arrived in Equestria from another world almost three days ago?”

"Not yet. But they say he's weird, but not bad. And he accepts pony society surprisingly easily." Then Sassy made a pensive look and looked at Chrysalis. "Well, how do you know the information about this person and when he arrived?"

Chrysalis rolled her eyes and invited this mare to go into the informal meeting room, rather than stand and discuss the topic in an open corridor where the guards could overhear them.

Sassy smiled shyly and agreed to Chrysalis's proposal. After all, it was Chrysalis who was an experienced scout. Only today she missed. Good or bad, time will tell...

Meanwhile, in the hall where the two princesses are having a private party.

The clock struck midnight, and all the ponies applauded loudly, congratulating each other. They embraced each other and shouted words of approval to the two princesses for this wonderful event. Moreover, there were not so many guests. Fireworks have already been launched on the streets of Canterlot. Discord was clearly nervous, Fluttershy had already left his company to join his friends, and at that moment he needed support. In male support. So he teleported behind the back of the man, who walked over to the table and tasted the local wine.

“Eh ... Heart Path! Can we talk to you? "Discord said, and the person clearly did not expect him and therefore was surprised

“Yes, Mr. Discord. What did you want to talk about?" Heart Path asked and took a few sips of wine. He was really interested in getting to know this guy better, who gave him a little help, besides the fact that he was involved in the fact that he was in this world. But apart from his jokes, there was something mysterious about the Lord of Chaos.

Discord teleported a couple of chairs and invited them to sit down, which the man, of course, did not refuse.

"Tell me the Heart Path. Can we be friends with you?"

The man looked closely at Discord's face, which had no hint of joke. He was not the same as when he first met him. "Why not Discord? I see no reason to deny you my friendship. But why does I not leave the feeling that this is not why you turned to me?"

"Actually, you are not far from the truth. But to understand this, I needed to know your attitude towards me. Yes, I understand that we knew each other not so long ago, but, believe me, I sincerely wish you only the best. And when you it will be very difficult, just call the Lord of Chaos, I will save you from any trouble, but only if I understand that you really need help!"

"Good. I will remember your words."

"Tell me, have you ever really fallen in love?" Discord asked.

This question came as a complete surprise to the person. And he began to remember all the options, up to Celestia.

"Yes. Definitely. But why are you asking me this? AAAA ... I get it. Are you in love with someone?"

Discord realized that it was getting more and more difficult for him to fight. He really was in love and needed to share with someone to ease this burning sensation.

"Yes, that is right." Discord said and felt his essence rebel against his wishes. A bead of sweat rolled off his forehead. He gathered all his will to continue to fight with himself. Chaos rose up against this infection, whose name is Love.

The man became curious. What kind of mare is this, to which the heart of the Lord of Chaos himself was not indifferent? On the other hand, there was not a hint of lies or play in Discord's eyes. At this moment he was serious and emotional. At some point, Heart Path felt that Discord looked like something different. Something was wrong with him. The eyes of the lovers are shining. And Discord had the faded look of a dying creature.

“Discord! Does this always happen to you? You look like your love is unrequited! Heart Path said and shook Discord's shoulder worriedly.

Discord perked up, and his thoughts found peace, he looked into the eyes of the man who was rubbing his shoulder. “Oh yes, I'm fine. Happens. I'm afraid to confess my love." Discord said and tried to smile, making it clear that he is not crazy.

"Let me guess. Are you afraid that the one to whom you confess your feelings rejects you, or will offer to remain friends?"

"Yes. You're right. Just don't ask me who she is! " - said Discord, making an angry face. Such changes in the character of the interlocutor were not new to Heart Path.

"Listen. Don't lie to me! Are you kind of like the Lord of Chaos and are afraid of something? Don't make my ass laugh! Just go to this girl and confess your feelings to her! If she rejects you, then come to me and we'll get drunk, or let's go to a local bar and take off a couple of local mares to show our invincibility in the face of such difficulties as love. At one time I was in love, and my heart suffered from unrequited feelings. Until I said to myself: what the fuck? Life goes on, man, and me I'm sure you have her for a long time. You can find your love. " The man spoke in one breath, which made Discord twitch his eye. It looks like Pinkie Pie will have a friend.

"You know? And I'll do it! Wish me luck, friend. Well, if the Lord of Chaos can't find love in return, then I know a couple of places in Canterlot where we can go and plant these mares. A game called" Pin the Pony under the tail! " Discord in a conspiratorial whisper spoke the last words to the man in the ear, then patted him friendly on the shoulder and teleported to an unknown place.

"Hahah! Discord is a good guy! I think he and I will be great friends!" The man said out loud at the same time turned around and see where his robot Night Fog had gone.

His robot friend, as funny as it sounds, found himself company. Yes Yes. He walked over to Rarity and Applejack for a little chat. But how much more attention he paid to the farm mare! Yes, Applejack. I wonder what kind of conversation these two might have? Rarity, who was standing next to her, winked at Applejack with a smile and decided to leave them alone in order to approach the person and get to know him better. At that moment he was alone, and Trixie went on a personal matter to the mare's room.

Forge the iron while it's hot! Rarity thought, and as she approached the Heart Path, she cleared her throat to get his attention.

The man put the wine glass on the table and turned his attention to Rarity. "Oh Rarity. Happy holiday! Do you want to talk to me?"

Rarity blushed a little as she looked up at the man. He was certainly taller than her. But if she stands on her hind hooves like Trixie, then they will certainly be on an equal footing. And she had an idea in her head.

Rarity decided to flirt a little and show him a real lady! “Actually, yes. But not only that. I noticed that you are a good dancer, and at the same time, when you were paired with Trixie, it looked very impressive. Romantic. And at the same time, you are a good partner for your mare. I notice such subtleties well. Despite the fact that we have differences, you clearly do not notice this and adapt well to our anatomy. Tell me, where did you get this experience?"

Way of the Heart smiled shyly, covered his face with his hands and looked at Rarity cheerfully. "Someday I will reveal to you my secrets to Lady Rarity. But I have an idea. Or rather an offer to you. Tell me, do you dance tango?"

This unexpected question definitely surprised Rarity, and her eyes lit up with anticipation. Yes, at one time she attended dance lessons with a stallion, but never before had she had the experience of such dancing with a biped.

"Yes, I dance tango, but why do you ask?" Rarity asked. At that moment, her heart skipped a beat. Was she really lucky to have this interesting dance of passion experience again, but only with a creature that she met for the first time in her life? But everything happens for the first time.

But the man bent down and held out his hand to her. "Lady Rarity. I invite you to this dance. I'm really interested in how it looks on a pony. Let's assume that you are helping me to better understand the world in which I am now." Affectionately said the Heart Path.

Rarity was even more nervous, but she didn't want to miss this chance. "I ... I want to tell you, and I'll be honest with you, but I've never danced tango with a two-legged partner in my life." And, drooping her ears apologetically, she continued. “I really want to have this experience with you! But I'm afraid to make a mistake!"

Heart Path looked into the eyes of this mare, who was clearly nervous, and decided to cheer her up with a kind word. "There are no mistakes in tango. Not like in life. It's very simple, which is why Tango is such a wonderful dance. You are wrong, pretend that this is how it should be and dance on. Why don't you give it a try?"

The man's words really gave Rarity confidence, and she smiled at him and nodded. "OK I will try."

The dance floor was free and the orchestra was waiting for its time to entertain the guests with live classical music. One gray mare with a long black mane and a bow on her neck saw a strange pair in the center of the hall and nodded to the other musicians. Rarity approached her and asked to play tango music, to which all the ponies in the orchestra nodded approvingly and waited for a sign when she would approach the person again and they both would take a stance. Then the music of passion will sound throughout the hall!

Rarity walked over to the man and stood opposite him. But she decided to drop all her fears and doubts. Yes, in front of her was not a stallion, but a new two-legged creature, a man who offered her something unimaginable. She herself did not expect that everything would turn out like this. But let everyone look at them and see what Rarity and the Path of the Heart are capable of. She had no doubt that after such an experience, a certain princess of friendship and her other friends would ask her interesting questions.

"If you are ready, then place your front, left hoof on my shoulder, and I will take your right one in my left hand."

Rarity did just that and stood on her hind hooves, shifting her weight onto the man's chest. He, in turn, put his right arm around her waist.

POV Heart Path.

I put my arms around Rarity's waist, her chest pressed against me, but we did not look each other in the eyes. Her face looked to the right of my head, and she only pressed her cheek lightly against me, even slightly tickling. Our position was symmetrical, only her hoof was on my shoulder, and my right hand was just above her waist. This is an indescribable feeling. Yes, she was a mare, but she was very feminine, and I'll tell you honestly, the smell of her mane that tickled my face was simply intoxicating. At that moment, I began to feel that a bond was forming between us. An invisible energy of attraction that says that we should not part. Yes, I know the feeling. But I was amused by the exoticism of our partnership. I am human. She is a unicorn, a mare. So what? I smiled inwardly at my thoughts and blew a little in Rarity's ear, which made her giggle beautifully. The music had already started playing, and I already felt that all the ponies present here were looking at us. But I have experience of performing in front of an audience, so I just pretended there were no spectators. Here and now, only me and Rarity exist.

Author's note: Al Pacino is a remarkable actor of his day. It is his acting that inspires me to write this episode. The film "Smell of a Woman". I decided that it would be better to describe this moment from the perspective of the main character.

The music was already playing, and I smoothly led Rarity back, her hooves did not immediately adjust, but at that moment she clearly trusted me. My right hand held her, and my gaze was glassy. I went into a trance and had to be careful not to drop Rarity. My feet followed her hooves with extreme care, but at the same time, I felt my soul fly. The violinist set the pace for us, and we kept up. Then we stepped over so that we changed places and positions, not releasing passionate embraces of each other (one hundred and eighty degrees), so our views changed, and Rarity was already leading me to music in time. I stepped back, carefully shifting my legs, allowing the lady to follow me. My left hand lifted her hoof slightly so that our bodies tilted slightly to the sides, then we took up position again and continued the dance. The violin dictated its terms, and I gave its strings the opportunity to touch my emotions. I playfully tossed Rarity aside, hovered over her and returned to the starting position again. She liked this moment. On her back were invisible wings. I continued to lead him, and the sound of the piano gave a signal. I released her from my embrace, holding her hoof with my left hand and giving her the opportunity to retreat. At the same time, Rarity was surprisingly able to maintain balance on two legs, moving so as not to fall. And two seconds later, admiring Rarity's happy face, I pulled her to my chest and put my right hand on her waist. She realized in time that her left hoof should be on my shoulder again. It was a very hot moment when I heard a few excited sighs from the ponies watching us. Including princesses. We continued the dance of passion, and the orchestra's musicians put all their energy into it. Our legs moved smoothly in time, and I looked into Rarity's face. She laughed playfully and, opening her mouth, looked into my eyes, in which I saw a sparkle. At this moment, she clearly restrained herself so as not to shed tears of happiness. But I lifted her left hoof so she could turn in place and pulled her towards me. Then we stepped over with our feet, smoothly following to the left. Our dance was not forced, but at that moment we parted ways with each other. And when the sound of the piano gave us an accelerated tempo again, I raised her hoof up and gently lowered it on my forearm. She pressed her forehead against me and giggled again. Her horn rubbed against my forehead, and our cheeks pressed against each other. To the sound of a more energetic piano, I lifted her hoof and she made a circular motion with her body, but I began to feel that Rarity was already at her limit. Only my support gave her the opportunity to overpower herself. And do not fall, losing balance on two hooves. In the final part of the dance, I turned Rarity over so that we were both facing the same direction. Her left hoof rested, so I held it with my right hand behind her back. And her right hoof lay trustingly in my left hand. And we smoothly moved forward at the pace that the palace orchestra asked us. I saw Rarity smiling all this time, tilting her head slightly. To be honest, her horn obscured my view a little. But I was acting instinctively. I trusted her and she trusted me. And then the music of passion played its last role, I turned Rarity to face me and threw her back slightly. To which she grabbed my right leg with her hind leg. And her tail curled around my left leg. The music stopped. But in her place there was a loud exclamation of all those present and the clatter of hooves, which, as I understood, meant applause. And we were in this position for a few seconds, then I lifted her, and she sank on all hooves right in front of me. At the same time, she could not take her eyes off me. She clearly had an overabundance of emotions. I know this feeling.

I smiled at Rarity and ran my hand affectionately across her cheek. To which she raised her hooves and pressed my hand tightly. And at that moment, everyone in the audience continued to look at us and I felt that I had to leave the stage before they showered us with flowers. I was happy at that moment and Rarity, in an overabundance of feelings, was the first to break the silence.

"Thank you. Heart Path. Today you gave me more than just friendship!" Rarity told me, then she reached out to kiss my cheek, and at that moment I felt Rarity's tears streaming down my face.

"Rarity, why are you crying? We both felt good. We both enjoyed the dance of passion." Quietly, so that no one would hear, I whispered, looking into Rarity's eyes sparkling with tears and hugged her neck.

I patted this mare gently on the back and felt a little sympathy for her emotions. Then my gaze began to wander around the hall, and I saw how all the ponies froze in anticipation of further events. For them, Rarity and I were something that brought warm feelings to everyone around us. I saw some ponies start hugging their friends tightly.

The stallions caressed the faces on the mares' cheeks, which is clearly not indifferent to them. And only three princesses stood and smiled, looking at us. Like the rest of the ponies. Fluttershy hugged Discord, who gently stroked her back, making her wings react. Trixie, who was watching us all this time, stood with her eyes wide open, but there was no jealousy on her face! And it was beautiful and strange at the same time. At that moment, she realized that she was starting to lose the round. Rarity overtook her by several points. But Trixie is not the mare to throw her hooves in defeat. She will continue to fight. Her acquaintance with this man was the most unusual that one can imagine. And it was she who first met him, although it hurt. Then she saved his life and all this time she was ready to follow him and accompany him. She even kissed him, although she didn't realize she was doing it in her sleep.

I let Rarity out of my arms and we bowed to everyone and decided that it was time to go to the princesses. Everyone had a lot of questions. And I'm not sure I can answer everyone. Night Mist stood next to Applejack and apparently told her that although he was made of metal, he was clearly not a fool. Applejack was tolerant and even answered my robot's questions.

Heh. A robot flirting with a mare. Well, this is something new. I'll have to ask him about it. In general, that still a couple. Good luck Applejack and Night Fog! I thought, mentally grinning at the sight of these two.

We approached the princesses and I saw that their eyes were shining too! What does all three have.

"You were great, my dear Rarity and Heart Path. Today, on this holiday, you gave us a wonderful performance, from which all the ponies present and not only. We got a storm of emotions. And even my sister and Princess Twilight and I enjoyed this moment. Thank you both!" Celestia said and walked over to hug both of us. But at that moment everyone followed her example. Even Discord.

Our friendly hug did not last long, after which Princess Luna invited everyone to continue the holiday and treat themselves to dinner, which was already waiting in the wings. And I just got hungry. We all go to the table, only Discord and Fluttershy stayed in place, still hugging each other. And at that moment I finally understood for myself who my new friend Discord was in love with. It was Fluttershy, who was dear to the heart of the Lord of Chaos!

POV Discord.

I think my time has come!

Fluttershy stood opposite me and then she spoke. And there was a slight tremor in her voice. "Discord. I have a present for you." And she held out the object, wrapped in a festive wrapper, into Discord's hands. Curiously, he unrolled the package and took out...

And he took out of it a knitted pink scarf, on which the inscription was embroidered with gold threads "I Love You Discord!" Followed by the initials Fluttershy.

It finally dawned on me. Fluttershy, by nature, modest as always, decided to confess her feelings to me by presenting this wonderful scarf, which she herself knitted!

I rushed to hug her, hugging her fragile little body as if my life depended on it!

"Fluttershy! You ... you got ahead of me. I love you too! For me, the Lord of Chaos, you became everything. But all this time I was a fool! You opened my eyes to beauty and could change my heart. You saved me from self-destruction. . You saved everyone. " Discord said, dropping a tear onto his mare's mane.

At this moment, Fluttershy plucked up courage and spoke these cherished three words in response. "I love you! It is you, Discord, who became for me the one I cry about at night and think a lot. But I was afraid to tell you about my feelings ... forgive me, Discord! Sorry I didn't do this sooner.!"

In a burst of emotion, we both took off on wings and pressed our foreheads to each other. And I saw how a strange pink spark passed through my body, striking me with an unknown force. And I felt my magic weakening. I fell unconscious...

"DISCORD !!!! WHAT'S ABOUT YOU !? MY DEAR DISCORD PLEASE STOP SCARING ME !!!! Fluttershy screamed in panic over the unconscious body of the Lord of Chaos!"

Everyone in the room and even the robot ran to the unconsciously lying Discord. Celestia came over and bent over him, using some kind of magic. Then she looked at the frightened Fluttershy, and at that moment Princess Luna came up to them, put the wing on Fluttershy's back and calmed her down.

“Fluttershy, please. Calm down. Everything will be fine with him. I know how you feel about him. " Then she looked at everyone present and continued. “We will take him to the guest room and look after him! The rest, please go to your guest rooms. Trixie, the Path of the Heart and the Night Fog robot have been assigned a separate room and guards will accompany you."

Then the guard and several unicorns from the servants raised Discord and with the help of magic carried him to the guest wing of the palace. Celestia and Luna nodded to each other and followed the guards.

“It looks like she really is my sister. We have to help him when he wakes up. I'm afraid of the worst. " Celestia said to Luna, keeping this conversation private.

Fluttershy could not sit still and ran after the princesses with her and her other friends. The ponies in the hall did not understand for a long time what really happened, but they decided to keep calm. Today is a holiday, although Discord likes it, he is probably throwing one of his jokes again. Only they could not know the truth. Heart Path and Trixie looked at each other with thoughtful faces, just shrugged their shoulders and, accompanied by two guards and a robot, headed into the room reserved for them. Many questions were spinning in their heads, and the desire to get answers as soon as possible would prevent these two from falling asleep.

That night, Princess Luna was worried about all the guests in the palace and she had to change her sleep magic. When she entered her chambers, experiencing a general moment of concern for Discord, she found a note on the table that contained an encrypted message. It said that Chrysalis agreed to an informal meeting and would wait for her in the morning in one of the guest rooms, which was specially allocated for this task. The changeling queen is watched over by several Equestria intelligence agents.

Oooh! Too many for one day! Good. Celestia will look after Discord while I visit Chrysalis. After all, it cannot be postponed! Luna thought to herself and left the room.

Celestia and Twilight, as well as Fluttershy, sat in front of the bed where the unconscious Discord lay. A unicorn doctor bent over him and listened to his heartbeat.

"Doctor tell me that everything is fine with him, I pray you!" Fluttershy said quietly and still crying.

“I can tell you one thing. He is now in a state of deep sleep. His body, or rather his magic, reacted to the sudden illness, and in order to maintain his essence, he passed out. But I think it won't be long. Forgive me, Fluttershy, there is nothing I can do to help."

Celestia looked back at Fluttershy and Twilight, who stroked her friend's shoulder soothingly.

And mentally she shook her head. Poor Discord. Cursed from birth. Love for him is a destructive feeling, it is better for him to forget about it if he wants to preserve his essence...

About half an hour passed and Discord opened his eyes and raised himself on his elbows from the bed, saw three ponies looking at him with sad eyes. Fluttershy jumped over to him and hugged him tightly. But Discord had a bad feeling about it and decided to try magic at the snap of his fingers. But a few pink sparks flew out of them and just fell to the floor!

"Oh shit!" The lord of Chaos cursed and continued his unsuccessful attempts, which resemble a lighter without fuel.

Twilight Sparkle looked questioningly at Celestia and Discord and asked him an obvious question. "Your magic! Has it ceased to exist? But why in the name of Equestria did this happen to you !?"

Celestia decided that she needed to calm the princess down with friendship. “Please, Twilight and Fluttershy, go to your room. Discord needs a little rest. We'll all gather in my office this afternoon and explain what's going on. And I need to go to bed. In the morning, I must convey my congratulations to the people of Canterlot. Good night everybody."

Everyone agreed with the princess, although Fluttershy didn't want to leave Discord. She felt that he needed to be here now. But she did not argue with the princess and slowly walked into the corridor, turning around on the way and looking worriedly into Discord's eyes. But he assured her that everything would be fine and wished her good night. And he himself was left alone and thoughtfully put his hand to his chin.

"I never thought I would need a source of Chaos to regain my power." He told himself and decided that he did not want to sleep, but it was worth visiting Princess Luna.

Author's Notes:

And on this, events are just beginning to exist. I will continue to work. I planned to convey different emotions in this chapter. I hope it worked.
