For a little under a month, Zakhar had faithfully monitored Bon Bon and Lyra. As he did, the Siri noticed a few things. While the unicorn was very friendly and social, leaving the home multiple times a day to mingle, shop, and other activities in town, the earth mare barely, if ever left. At least once a week, the two would go to Berry Punch’s bar, stay for no more than a few hours, and then return home. Bon Bon was nearly a shut in, while Lyra was as social as one could get. This started to help piece things together.

Minimal interactions with the citizens could mean she wouldn’t have noticed any changes in town. And what’s more, Zakhar didn’t see a single candle in their house, so perhaps Lyra never bought any. Though they seemed to get regular shipments of fruits from Sweet Apple Acres, there had to be some intact of the potion and its contents. A resistance perhaps? Immunity? No, no, Zakha shook his head at these notions. He had too little information to make such wild conclusions. But as he monitored them, he started seeing the pattern he was looking for.

The surrogates, they would come every three days, without fail, and each time, they would be different. Sometimes an earth stallion, other times a pegasus or even a unicorn, but that wasn’t all. On at least three occasions, it was a griffon. Four occasions was a donkey. And at least once there was a unicorn that looked as if he was made from crystal. But out of each and every one of them, not once did the mares seem to know, or even get information on who was coming. This was the chance Zakhar was looking for, to sneak in and be the surrogate was going to be far easier now.

Tonight, as scheduled, a surrogate was due to arrive. From the looks of it, it was in fact a well muscular looking earth pony. But he didn’t look like one of the locals, so Zakha was easily able to get to him before he even came within yards of the house. A small dosage of some sleeping potion, and the stallion was out like a light. Working on the Apple’s farm had also seemed to give the Siri some extra strength, allowing him to easily drag the sleeping body over to hide it somewhere. The stallion would wake up in several hours, and by then, Zakhar was confident his task would be finished.

Approaching the door, Zakhar carefully and calmly knocked on the door. He didn’t have to wait long before Lyra opened the door. Just like she had with the others, she greeted her guest wearing only a near transparent pair of pantied, but nothing else. While he had seen these lovely pairs of tits from his numerous vantage points, to see them up close was a little different. This unicorn was clearly gifted, being endowed with a number of beautiful features, but Jakhar had his training to keep himself professional.

“Well…hello there, tall, dark, and zebra?!” Lyra asked, looking the Siri up and down. “Not that we’re against zebras. I just didn’t know that was an option.”

“No offense taken.” Zakhar replied with a chuckle. Given how rare his kind was in Equestria, this was somewhat expected. “I’m new, and was told that this particular house has a very…” He leaned in to whisper seductively. “...a particular need.”

“Well…you’re winning me over so far.” Lyra shivered at Zakhar’s strong words. “Well, let’s get you to the bedroom.” Grabbing at his hand, she all but dragged him up the stairs and took her and Bon Bon’s bedroom. “Alrighty! We got a new one!”

Bon Bon was laying on the bed as she had for every other male that had been brought over. Lyra was quite happy, but the earth mare seemed to be remotely uninterested. But when she saw Zakhar, she raised a curious eyebrow. The way she looked him over, it was clear she was recognizing him, which made him smile, but Lyra still seemed to be unaware who he was. Eventually, Bon Bon rose from the bed, sitting on the edge and looking at him.

“Well, I didn’t know you worked for the surrogate service.” Bon Bon commented, looking at Zakhar over and over again. “From what I heard at the bar, you were one of the laborers at Sweet Apple Acres.”

“I’m happy you remember me.” Zakhar nodded, maintaining his smile. “It’s a pleasure to see you both again, and of course, to help you both with your…concern.”

“Oh yeah, you’re that zebra we met at the bar!” Lyra gasped, remembering who Zakhar was. “Now I remember! Oh yeah, you beat the shit out of that griffon and scared off the others.”

“Oh yes, that…well I’m glad I could help Berry before it got too dangerous.” Zakhar replied, thinking back to the griffons, as well as to what he had his fellow Siri do to them afterwards. “But yes, how would you like me to help you?”

“Well, before you and I do anything, Lyra here is to make sure you have enough cum for me.” Bon Bon explained, gesturing to Lyra, who was already getting on her knees and undoing the zebra’s pants. “If you do well, we keep going. If not, then you leave.”

“Sounds fair.” Zakhar nodded, contemplating the best means to achieve his goal. Which meant he would be adding Lyra to his fuck list. “I do hope I can properly-”

“Holy fucking Celestia!” Lyra gasped, having freed Zakhar’s cock from his pants. “Bon Bon, he’s fucking huge!”

Zakhar’s cock was impressive, easily bigger than any stallion these mares had ever dealt with. As well as this, it was thick, nearly rivaling Lyra’s arm as she held it up in comparison. Even Bon Bon’s stoic expression cracked as she couldn’t take her eyes off this dick. The unicorn was taking it in both hands, slowly stroking it as she was panting with half opened eyes. Whether he could knock them up or not seemed to escape their minds as the curiosity over how good this cock would be inside them was filling their thoughts.

“I know it can be a little…intimidating.” Zakhar commented, seeing the tension in the room. “But please, take your time.”

“Oh I will!” Lyra commented, giggling as she leaned her face closer to this cock. There was a strong scent to it, a powerful musk that was making the unicorn’s senses go a little numb. “Oh fuck…this cock is so hot.”

“By all means, there’s no need to hold back.” Jakhar commented, smiling down at Lyra as she was looking this dick over. “Please, enjoy yourself.”

Opening her mouth, Lyra leaned in, wasting no more time as she started suckling along the blunt cockhead. The feeling of this hot cock sent shivers down her spine as she could feel the immense pleasure that just tasting this dick and precum was sending through her. She was shivering, and before Zakhar or Bon Bon could say anything, Lyra immediately started to take in more and more of this cock. As if in a lustful trance, she started bobbing her head, sucking off this cock like it was the most delicious thing in Ponyville.

“Well, that is pretty impressive.” Bon Bon commented, looking Zakhar over. “But Lyra, as much as I love her, is a bit of a cock loving slut, so that doesn’t mean you have what we’re looking for. Though I’ll admit, that’s the fastest I’ve ever seen her start sucking like that this early.”

“Well, she is very talented.” Zakhar replied, trying to keep his composure, but this unicorn’s mouth was better than he expected. She was facefucking herself as if she was going to suck the life out of him. “Very talented, I don’t think I’ll last that long.”

“Oh? You hear that, Lyra? Your dick sucking lips are gonna make him cum.” Bon Bon commented, raising a curious eyebrow. Then, with a more dominating look, she stared at her marefriend. “Make him cum for me.”

As if well trained for this, Lyra’s mouth moved faster and faster, her throat swelling and squeezing along this cock as it was an oral pussy. She was good, very good. No doubts she had been well trained by Bon Bon to use her mouth and tongue to bring out the most pleasure. But this wasn’t the end of it, Zakhar’s training would see him through this slutty unicorn’s mouth fucking, but when her horn ignited, he really felt something he didn’t expect.

Hands, numerous, magically conjured hangs stroking his cock whenever her mouth was off his size, fondling at his balls, and even rubbing along his inner thigh. She was using magic to add more and more to the stimulation that was coursing through him. He was panting a little, his body tensed up as his cock was throbbing more and more in Lyra’s mouth. Bon Bon only watched on, becoming somewhat impressed with this zebra. He wasn’t the first to last this long against her marefriend’s lucious throatfucking, but she was curious if he could do what the others couldn’t.

“I think I’m about to cum.” Zakhar commented, huffing as he could feel his cock about to release his hot load. This only caused Lyra to pick up the speed of her facefucking. “Oh shit…I’m gonna…fuck!”

Lyra bottomed out, deepthroating this cock in her mouth, hugging her face against Zakhar’s crotch. Her throat swelled and she swallowed down as much cum as she could. It was so thick, hot, and it was filling up her slutty belly; so much so, that by the time he was letting out his fifth or sixth rope of spunk, the unicorn’s belly was noticeably rounded from all the cum she drank. Eventually, she pulled herself off this cock, laying back against the bed as she had clearly come herself from this facefuck.

“Well, that is impressive.” Bon Bon commented, seeing the sloppy, happy look on Lyra’s face. “You even made her cum.” She then noticed Zakhar’s cock wasn’t limp and was only soaked, but hard and dripping cum. “Well, and you’re still hard. So I guess you might be worth it.” Laying back on the bed, she spread her legs and parted her pussy lips with her fingers. “Now you can fuck me. And show how much cum you still have in there.”

“I’m glad I could impress.” Zakhar commented, fully tossing aside the rest of his clothes as he carefully made his way on the bed. “I’ll be gentle.”

“Don’t be.” Bon Bon commented, looking at him with a mix of curiosity and lust. “Fuck…me…up!” Zakhar’s lips curled into a playful smirk.

---

“Oh fuck, fuck, fuck fuck!” Bon Bon was moaning, wrapping her legs and arms around Zakhar’s body as the zebra was pounding in and out of her pussy without a moment to pause. “Keep fucking me harder!”

As soon as the two started, Zakhar did as Bon Bon had told him. He wasn’t gentle, having rammed his full length in the mare’s pussy as soon as his cockhead met with her soft lower lips. And he had shifted his body to put his weight on her, lifting her legs back as he was fucking her with ever intention to impregnate her. What’s more, he had seemingly lasted far longer than any male he had observed before, with the previous surrogates he had seen either failing the Lyra blowjob test, or just not even getting hard again for Bon Bon. But Zakhar was different, and he was pouring every ounce of training into this mare’s pussy.

She was squeezing him, her pussy was so tight and yet Zakhar was spreading it open as he was fucking faster and faster. The way he was moving, she was going to cum again. Lyra watched on, fingering her pussy and groping and teasing her tits as she was watching her marefriend moan like a whore from this zebra’s cock. Her eyes were also captivated by the way Zakhar’s balls slapped against Bon Bon’s body, with his throbbing cock swelling was going to cum in her marefriend.

Swallowing hard, Lyra was panting as she was going to feel herself craving the way this zebra was fucking her lover. The way Bon Bon moaned, she was cumming and had been coming over and over again. This anticipation was far too much for the slutty unicorn to handle. She wanted to have this stallion’s cock inside her, and while she knew this was more for Bon Bon than anything else, Lyra’s dangling, longing tongue was enough of an indication that she couldn’t hold herself back any more.

“I hope I am doing well.” Zakhar commented, feeling himself getting close to an orgasm. “By the sound of your moans, it feels like you’re feeling go-”

“She’s feeling good. But what about me?” Lyra commented, slipping her way on the bed. Laying beside Bon Bon, she turned her marefriend’s face to look at her. “Feels good, doesn’t it? You like feeling this big, fat cock in your pussy?”

Bon Bon could only moan, even as Lyra was hugging her closed, laying besides her and reaching down with one hand to rub and tease the mare’s clit, while her horn conjured more spectral hands to grope at her own chest and both stroke along Zakhar’s cock and fondle his balls. It was the same feeling as before, and he could feel he was going to blow his load soon. Lyra could seem to feel this, and continued to tease and moan some more.

“Oh? He’s gonna cum it was so thick.” Lyra moaned, leaning closer to kiss Bon Bon’s lips, the two sharing their moans. Holding their lips together for a moment, she eventually pulled away, looking up at Zakhar. “Alright, you wanna cum? You wanna put a foal on my marefriend?” She reached down and rubbed along where her womb was. “Come on, knock her up. Fuck a foal in Bon Bon…and then, I want you to fuck my mouth again.”

This was too much for Zakhar to handle. Grunting, he pushed his cock as hard and deep as he could, bottoming out in the mare’s pussy. When Bon Bon moaned out in orgasm, Lyra pushed to press their mouths together, making out as the earth mare was moaning in her lover’s mouth. The zebra’s cock swelled, which pushed him over the edge. Zakhar panted as he felt his balls tightening, even as the warmth of Lyra’s magic was cupping his balls as the cum bubbling out of his cock.

Bon Bon gasped and moaned in Lyra’s mouth, feeling as the hot cum was flooding her womb. Her insides were soaked in the spunk, soaking and saturating every inch around her pussy walls. She was cumming and clamping down so tight, not a drop of the cum was able to leak out, so that every bit of cum in her womb was seeking out her ovaries and eggs to impregnate her. Lyra moaned with her marefriend, feeling as her pussy was soaked, dripping her sweet nectar on the bed.

“Oh fuck, that was so hot.” Lyra commented, cooing as she pulled her mouth from Bon Bon’s quivering lips. Looking down at the noticeable belly bump that Bon Bon had. Rubbing it, she cooed. “Look at that, so much cum. All in your womb, Bon Bon. Was he good? Did you like Zakhar’s cock?” Bon Bon only seemed to whimper as she was passing out from the intense fucking. “Well, that’s that. You did amazing!”

“I’m glad I was able to give you the best I could.” Zakhar nodded, slowly pulling his cock free of Bon Bon’s pussy, making her coo a bit as her pussy was spilling out his still steaming cum. “But now that I’ve done what I have been hired to do, what shall we do now? Do I simply leave, or would you like to schedule another-”

“Oh yes, yes, we’re totally gonna call on you again!” Lyra commented, already thinking about all the things she’d like to do. “But that can wait until after. First, I want you to fuck me.”

“But I thought this was only to get Bon Bon pregnant?” Zakhar asked, feigning ignorance. “Are you sure you would like to-”

“Oh fuck yeah. I mean, did you see the look on her face? She was cumming like crazy!” Lyra giggled, lifting and turning herself to show off her ass to the zebra. “Why should she have all the fun? So I want that big…fat…juicy cock…right here!” Leaning forward, she parted her soaked pussy with her magical fingers. “Fuck me right here, Zakhar. Fuck a foal in me too.”

“Very well, who am I to say no to such a beautiful request?” Zakhar responded, shrugging his shoulders. “But I warn you, it can get very…intense.” His words only seemed to make the mare’s pussy even wetter; if that was possible.

Adjusting himself, Zakhar lined up his still leaking but hard cockhead against Lyra’s moist entrance. It was so tight, even as he was trying to wedge himself into this soaked hole. The unicorn moaned softly, shivering as she was feeling herself getting hotter and hotter. The magically conjured hands were getting more and more difficult to maintain; seemingly spasming and fading in and out of existence.

“Oooo yes…oh fuck yes!” Lyra cooed, shivering as more and more of this zebra cock was splitting open her sobbing wet pussy. The way it felt, it was like he was shoving a massive, majestic mass in her super tight hole. “Does this thing ever stop?”

“I’m sorry? I’m not even a quarter of the way in.” Zakhar commented, only to feel Lyra’s cock tighten around his length as she heard him. “Should I slow down-”

“No, no! I can take it!” Lyra panted, turning her head back to moan towards Zakhar. “Bon Bon could take it, so can I!” Zakhar only shrugged his shoulders as he continued.

Feeling how tight Lyra’s pussy was, Zakhar could only imagine how many, if any stallions have ever gotten a chance to fuck this mare. Given how the only action she seemed to get was from throatfucking the stallion to test him for Bon Bon, he could only imagine how little she would have. But Lyra was tight, so tight, the zebra was huffing as he was trying not to force his way into her soft, wet hole. But at the same time, she was only moaning more and more, and her inner folds were slowly but surely making way for him.

“Oh fuck…Bon Bon was holding out on me.” Lyra cooed, shivering as she was going to cum soon just from having this stud put his full length inside her. “So…fucking…big…”

Zakhar continued to slowly slide himself into Lyra’s pussy. And even though her subtle, round ass made it difficult to see, he could somewhat see that her belly was already bulging a little. Her pussy was clearly the smaller of the two, but he didn’t think it would be that tight, to the point now being halfway in would make it look like he was shoving an arm in there. Zakhar couldn’t help but chuckle to himself as he was starting to move at a more steady pace.

“Alright, I’m almost all the way in.” Zakhar commented, looking down at Lyra, who was starting to twitch, as her pussy was dripping her wet nectar. “When I’m in, I’m gonna start moving. So let me know if it becomes too much.”

“I will, I will.” Lyra said, or at least that’s what Zakhar thinks she said, as her words were becoming more and more a sultry blur of pleasure while her eyes were starting to roll back. “Keep going…”

Zakhar continued to move his cock deeper and deeper in Lyra’s pussy, stretching her out more and more as she was seemingly getting close to an orgasm. By the time he had nearly the full length in her, he could feel as if she was starting to get a little limp. And when he finally bottomed out, feeling as if his cock had long gone past her cervix, and was rubbing along the insides of her womb, Lyra gasped out, but then fully dropped on the bed.

“Oh…you were tighter than I thought.” Zakhar commented aloud, looking at the mare as he slowly slipped his cock from her pussy, leaving her to lay on the bed. Looking between the two, he nodded with a smile. ‘Well, I did all I could do. I better report back.’ Getting ready to leave, he could hear a faint whimpering from the bed. “Oh, no, no, we can continue next time I’m over. I’ll be back next week.” The whimpers seemed to become coos of pleasure. “See you both then, good bye.”

---

Zakhar was back at Zecora’s hut. This time, it wasn’t just her, but even Zakia was sitting there at this briefing. This sent a shiver down the Siri’s spine. Though he knew he had nothing to fear from his Master, the mere presence of this zebra lord made Zakhar feel an overwhelming sensation. Though his Master was barely taller than him, Zakia might as well be a giant hunched over and looking down at this Siri, a small foal in the eyes of this great stallion. Swallowing hard, he stood there, awaiting his orders.

“Zakhar.” Zakia asked, referring to the Siri by name, which nearly caused the Siri to flinch nervously. “I have read your reports on this matter, and I have noticed you have made a counter suggestion to our decisions.” Tapping a finger on some of the papers, he continued. “You were told Bon Bon is considered a pony of interest, until told otherwise. But according to your most recent report, you claim she would serve better as an ally and not a thrall under our sway.” Crossing his fingers, he stared at the agent. “I will ask a simple question. What benefits do your beliefs bring to us and our cause?”

“W-well…my…my lord…” Zakhar was clearly nervous, sweating as he looked at his master. It was as if his words were stuck in his throat. It would be all too easy to apologize, and do as he was told, but he felt something, a determination to explain himself; even if he was feeling such an intense fear, like he was going to be punished for this. “Y-you see…I believe Bon Bon’s loyalties to the Princess are no longer a concern.” There was no going back now. “Though she served the Princess at one point, according to what I have found. She has wanted to distance herself from the Princess, and is trying to begin a family.”

“That only explains why she isn’t a threat.” Zakia explained, his emotions remaining unchanged as he spoke. “But what makes her so special? If you have found her notes and information, then why have you not simply broke her and claimed the books for us?”

“You see…I…” Zakhar hesitated. Zakia was right, why hasn’t he yet? He had found her notes weeks ago, and yet he was waiting for Bon Bon to come out and tell him. So why was he hesitating? “Bon Bon…she doesn’t want that life anymore, and…she’s carrying my foal now; her and Lyra. So that alone will provide her with enough incentive to be more loyal to me, and by extension, you, my Master.”

“I see…” Zakia responded, seemingly pondering something for a moment. The silence was deafening, and it was making Zakhar even more worried over what was to come next. Eventually, the zebra sighed. “Very well. I will permit you more time. You have until she has given birth to provide further evidence that she will be more loyal to us than the Princess.”

“If she were to reveal her past willingly…” Zakha asked, feeling a sudden rush of emotions at his Master’s words. “...would that be acceptable?”

“As a start.” Zakia replied, his expression becoming a little more serious. “But nothing short of an oath of fealty will sway me.”

“Y-yes…of course…as you say, my Lord.” Zakhar bowed, preparing to be dismissed. “I-I am ready to return and acquire this oath for you.”

“Very well, you are dismissed.” Zakia said, but as Zakhar was ready to leave, he pointed a hand to the Siri. “I give this warning as a courtesy. Your foals are the future of our people, but I am not convinced of Bon Bon yet. So if she proves to be a liability, you know what must be done.”

“Yes…my Master.” Zakhar responded, bowing again. “I shall…obey…” With that, he left.

Once alone, Zecora got up, standing behind Zakia. Rubbing at his shoulders, she leaned in to give him a tender kiss on the cheek. Though she was more than capable of handling this meeting, Zakia seemed to have shown enough interest that he wanted to be the one to speak with the Siri. To her, this was in fact quite a tactful approach, reminding the agents that Zakia may be their Master, but he wasn’t unreasonable.

“You really believe he will succeed in his task?” Zecora asked, speaking quietly to her lover. “He has the tools to break both mares, if need be. And the foals should be unharmed by the effects.”

“I wanted to see his resolve.” Zakia replied, sighing a little as he let his serious expression drift into a calmer composure. “He seems committed to his task, but I worry that fathering children may cloud his judgment.”

“So this is just as much a test of loyalty for Bon Bon, as it is for him?” Zecora asked, to which Zakia somewhat nodded. “I understand the reasoning, but we must keep such trials to an absolute minimum. The loyalties of the Siri are meant to be absolute, and any doubts could cause too many incidents.”

“I understand, and I have confidence he will succeed.” Zakia replied, understanding Zecora’s words. “And when this is over, provided he gives us what he claims he could acquire, I shall let him keep both mares as his reward.”

---

A few more months have passed since Zakhar was given his assignment. And in that time, he had developed quite the relationship with Bon Bon and Lyra. So much so, now that they were both pregnant with his foal, they stopped their surrogate stud program, and have developed a relationship with Zakhar. This eventually led to the Siri being assigned by Zecora to move in with the mares, though he was reinstated to work on the Apple’s farm, it was still a good assignment. Lyra showed to be even sluttier when she got pregnant, often waking up her zebra lover with a morning blowjob. While Bon Bon, despite her more serious exterior, really loved to cuddle up to him whenever they rested.

Zakhar did his best to be supportive as a soon to be father, but didn’t forget his role as a Siri. While spending his free time with the mares, he eventually made it a point to keep close eyes on them; especially Bon Bon. As the weeks carried on, she seemed to be struggling with something, but didn’t bother to tell Zakhar about it. He was certain he knew, but he didn’t want her to know that he knew. But, he was able to see the effects of the potions and candles take effect.

Lyra’s behavior was most likely attributed with the potions being mixed with their meals, and the sweet and spicy smells of the candles were often making her even more flirtatious than normal. And thankfully, because of her previously bubbly and playful personality, Bon Bon seemed to barely notice this change. As well as this, her body was growing a little since becoming pregnant. As her belly became rounder, her tits nearly doubled, almost always leaking milk that she wanted Zakhar to milk her every other day, and she was horny almost all the time.

Bon Bon’s change wasn’t as obvious as Lyra’s, but there was something Zakhar noticed. She was a little more open with her feelings, more than once kissing the zebra’s cheek as he would cook their breakfast before work. He saw to it that all their needs were met, and that they were both happy. But Bon Bon had yet to reveal anything about her past, only claiming she did “pest control” several years ago. Zakhar knew that was a lie, and would report everything back to Zecora with weekly updates, but he was confident that Bon Bon would eventually tell the truth.

This time seemed to come, halfway through their pregnancies, Bon Bon and Lyra prepared an extra special evening for Zakhar. A romantic dinner, followed by a long and passionate night of loving, hot, and wet sex. But while Lyra passed out first, adorably snoring as she rested, Bon Bon and Zakhar were still awake, and the mare looked very serious as she looked the zebra over. There was a melancholy about her, like she felt guilty with whatever it was she was thinking.

“Zakhar…” Bon Bon said, even her tone of voice sounded so sad. “You’ve been…I’m sorry, there’s no easy way to say this, but I’m sorry.”

“Sorry for what?” Zakhar asked, feigning ignorance. “You two have been so loving, letting me move in, and I am proud to have given you both such lovely foals to be.”

“And that’s the thing. You’ve been so good to us, and yet…I haven’t been fully honest with you.” Bon Bon replied, clearly struggling with whatever it was she was trying to say. Reaching for the desk, she pulled out an envelope. “This here, is a letter from Princess Celestia. It’s about a life I left behind!”

“A life you left behind? And a letter from the Princess?” Zakhar asked, playing his role well. “Please, you don’t need to tell me anything you’re not comfortable-”

“I need to!” Bon Bon snapped, only to compose herself. “I’m sorry, it’s just. Lyra and I have been talking, and we’ve changed our minds. We want you to be part of your foals’ lives. We want you to stay, and so I need to be honest with you.”

“I am very grateful that you want me to be with you both like this.” Zakhar nodded with a smile. “Anything you want to tell me, please take your time.”

“I…thank you…” Bon Bon replied, taking a breath before she continued. “Years ago, in a life I want to forget, I was…Agent Sweetie Drops, and I…I was part of a task force that eliminated monsters and other bestial threats to Equestria. All under Princess Celestia’s orders.”

“That’s…that’s amazing!” Zakhar replied, smiling at the mare as he looked at her with eagerness. “But that must’ve been very dangerous.”

“It was, and over the years, I lost so many good friends. To creatures and monsters that we captured.” Bon Bon explained. “But after I met Lyra…I knew I didn’t want to be a monster hunter anymore.”

“You said captured, why capture?” Zakhar asked, tilting his head. “I’m sorry, but this does sound so fascinating, I’m just curious.”

“The Princess wanted them captured, killed only if we couldn’t contain them.” Bon Bon explained. “We were given a means to open the gates of Tartarus, where these monsters were imprisoned within.”

“Oh, wow!” Zakhar nodded, listening in. “I’m glad you told me this, and I appreciate your trust. I promise, I will tell nopony of this secret. I know you want this life behind you.”

“Yes, and when I received this, I was…let me explain…” Bon Bon commented, showing the letter in the envelope. “Princess Celestia allowed me to leave the service, and live as Bon Bon, not as Sweetie Drops. But I would be…required to send her updates in regards to any increase in monster activity in the region. But I’ve walked every inch of the Everfree Forest years ago, and of all the monsters I’ve seen there, none were worth the effort to report. But when I tell her this, she always sends me these letters every few months or so.”

“So, will you be making this report?” Zakhar asked, showing more of a show of concern. “In your current condition, I wouldn’t want you going to Everfree.”

“I know, that’s why, I was wondering if you could do me a favor.” Bon Bon asked, going through her desk, handing a small journal over to Zakhar. “These are the notes I’ve taken of the beasts and monsters found in the Everfree Forest. If you could deliver this to Zecora, I can’t think of anyone else I could trust more to check in on these monsters and see if they’re any threat.”

“I understand, and I can bring it to her tomorrow.” Zakhar replied, taking the book. Flipping a little through the pages, he saw a number of illustrations, maps of the forest, and even a long series of notes. “These are very detailed. You must’ve been really good at this.”

“I was, might still be. But I’m not interested in being a monster fighter again.” Bon Bon explained, sighing as if remembering something. “But those are my notes, containing everything I learned about these monsters. So I hope Zecora can make good use of them.”

“I’ll see to it that she gets this book. Thank you.” Zakhar replied, putting the book down to give the mare a soft hug and gentle kiss. As they embraced, they heard the snores of Lyra. The two paused, only to laugh quietly. “Maybe Lyra’s right. Maybe we should go to bed?” Bon Bon nodded, joining her zebra lover in the large bed. The three cuddled, but his mind raced with all manner of possibilities. ‘Oh Bon Bon, thank you, I will ensure my Master puts this to good use.’
