It had been a brief period, over a month, since Zuberi started helping the flower sisters. His tasks included lifting heavy equipment and tending to their vast gardens and greenhouses. This brought a sense of joy to the older zebra, as it brought back fond memories of his home and daughter. However, there was something more to his interactions with these three mares - Rose, Daisy, and Lily. They were kind, but he couldn’t help but notice the occasional sidelong glances they exchanged. Zuberi understood the unspoken connection forming between them… he felt it as well.

He didn’t mind the idea of these mares being attracted to him. Yet, something unexpected was happening. He yearned for more, a feeling he never expected towards these three mares who were once faceless ponies meant to serve a cause. Zuberi was no longer just fulfilling his duty; he was genuinely getting to know them and he wanted them to know him. In his rare moments of leisure, memories of these mares, their warm smiles, and the growing affection he felt for them would occupy his thoughts. It was a reminder of the simpler life he once had back home with his daughter… but also his first wife. Their presence was enough to put him at ease… maybe he was finally ready to open himself up the same way he did all those years ago.

That’s why he dedicated himself to service, for the betterment of his people and the revival of his ancient empire. But above all else, his motivation was to create a world where his daughter could live in comfort and peace. He dreamed of leaving behind all worries and troubles, spending the rest of his days in the tranquility of gardening. This was the purpose of driving his actions. Now… those simplistic desires for a better life were becoming complicated as opened up to these mares.

He wasn’t looking at these mares solely for their physical attributes, although he couldn’t deny their attractiveness. What drew him to them was their strong work ethic, dedication to their craft, and their genuine love for nature, qualities he deeply respected. Coupled with their personalities, their warmth and kindness… It tugged at his heart, over and over, battled with his own emotions. “They remind me so much of you….” Zuberi thought to himself… his thoughts lingering on her once more… “Is this wrong of me to see so much of you in them…” Zuberi heart felt heavy, he needed to do something… and soon.

******

It was the end of another scorching day when Zuberi found himself in their cozy kitchen, sipping on a glass of refreshing lemonade prepared by Lily earlier. The warmth of their welcome was a comforting embrace. These mares, initially just ponies in his eyes, had become important to Zuberi. He was aware of the uncertain fate that awaited them once their mission concluded, but he couldn’t help but wonder if there might be another way. He resolved to discuss this with Zecora later, but for now, he relished the drink in his hand.

“Thank you for today,” Rose remarked, entering the kitchen alongside her sisters. They bore the signs of their hard work, with sweat dampening their clothes as they sought respite in the cooler room. “We’ve never managed to accomplish so much during this season before.”

“Yeah,” Daisy chimed in while pouring herself a glass. “And Zuberi has been an incredible help. He’s not just skilled, but he’s also incredibly welcoming. Our customers have showered us with compliments whenever he’s assisted us in selling flowers.”

I’m really glad I could be of help." Zuberi responded, his emotions taking control of his words, overshadowing his usual logic. “I’m grateful I could save you all those weeks ago… it feels like it was a blessing in disguise. I’ve been happier…” Zuberi’s words caught the three mare’s attention, a softness across each of their faces.

“We were too,” Lily added, moving quickly to embrace Zuberi in a hug. Her ample curves pressed against his strong frame, and this time, she didn’t let go. “You’ve been such a tremendous help, I’m glad that trunk went wild and you appeared. It’s been a lot brighter these days.” She said, her voice carrying a seductive tone, likely influenced by the zebras’ presence in the town. Zuberi didn’t mind the effect he had on them. “We should definitely properly thank you.”

“You all have rewarded me more than you know. I enjoy what I do here, I get to garden in my spare time and I’m happy.” Zuberi smiled, maintaining his composure as the other two mares gazed at him with desire in their eyes. “Zuberi… .” Lilly said, her voice sweet and soft as she smiled at him.

***

Lily gently broke her hug, her keen eyes catching the conflict etched on Zuberi’s face. Rose and Daisy also sensed his inner turmoil. He was struggling to express something, to lay bare the emotions that had been haunting him.

“I... need to say something... and I’m not sure how to say... I’m...” Zuberi’s voice wavered as he searched for the right words. His features were flushed, his eyes filled with uncertainty and pain.

The three mares sensed the change in the atmosphere, the palpable tension, and it worried them deeply. Their connection with Zuberi had grown stronger over time, and they could see he was grappling with something significant.

“Zuberi,” Rose spoke softly, her eyes warm and understanding, “whatever it is, you can share it with us. We care about you deeply, and your feelings matter.”

Lily and Daisy nodded in agreement, their faces mirroring concern and compassion. They were a united front, ready to support him through whatever inner turmoil he was facing.

Zuberi took a deep breath, his gaze shifting from one mare to another, as if searching for the right way to express his thoughts. He finally began, his voice trembling with vulnerability, “I want to be honest with all of you. I’ve been holding back, afraid of what my feelings might mean. I miss my wife... the one I lost. And sometimes, I’m scared that I’m not seeing you for who you are but as a... replacement for her. It’s been tearing me apart.”

Tears welled up in Zuberi’s eyes, and he wiped them away with a shaky hand. The mares remained silent, their hearts aching for him.

Lily, Rose, and Daisy exchanged glances, and then Lily took Zuberi’s hand, her touch reassuring. “Zuberi, we didn’t know. But that doesn’t change how we feel about you. We’ve grown to care for you deeply, not as a replacement for anyone, but as the wonderful zebra you are. Your past and your pain are a part of you, but they don’t define what we have now.”

Rose and Daisy nodded in agreement, their expressions filled with empathy and affection. They moved closer to Zuberi, encircling him in a comforting embrace.

Zuberi felt their warmth, both physical and emotional, enveloping him. The weight of his past began to lift, and he couldn’t hold back his emotions any longer. He let out a choked sob, tears streaming down his face as he finally allowed himself to grieve and release the pent-up pain and he cried, becoming a sobbing mess as years of held back tears and emotion came crashing out.

The mares held him close, offering their love and support without judgment. In that moment, Zuberi realized he could move forward, that he didn’t have to be burdened by the past. A new chapter in his life was unfolding, one filled with love, understanding, and a new family. And with that realization, he began to heal and accept the deepening connection he shared with Lily, Rose, and Daisy.

Time passed as Zuberi nose was running, dried tears down his cheeks as he finally calmed down, his composure somewhat returning… “Thank… you.” Zuberi whispered out, his hands tugging at their shirts as he head rested in Lily’s neck. “Thank you…” He repeated. Their grip tightening their hug, breaking giving him some space and Daisy saying “Feeling better?” Zuberi nodded, a smile forming his lips. “Yes… very. I’m happy to have such beautiful flowers in my life. I only had one for so long… now I have three more… I hope.”

“You do…” Rose giggled, hugging Zuberi from behind and seemingly taking in his masculine scent. “Because in this shop, it’s not just about buying one rose, daisy, or lily flower. You have to take the whole bouquet,” she whispered seductively in his ear. She wanted to change the tone, reassure that he didn’t need to pick and that they were all in this together.

Zuberi was silent as a bright smile formed across his tear-stained face. His hand grabbing Roses that wrapped around his waist as she she hugged him. “So, would you mind if I called you three my… Wapendwa?”

“Wapendwa?” Lily questioned, unsure of what it meant.

“It means beloved ones in pony. It’s something back home we’d call our partners that held our heart… often with our soulmates… or, well spouses as you’d call them here. Is that alright with you all?” Zuberi asked, hoping for a positive reception.

The three mares heart skipped a bit, but none disliked it and instead found it endearing. “Wapendwa… I like that. If you want to take us all as your Wapendwa’s, I’m completely fine with it,” Lily explained, planting kisses on Zuberi’s chest. “Polygamy is widely accepted around Equestria and even if it wasn’t… I’d still be fine with it”

“Yeah,” Rose chimed in, kissing along Zuberi’s back and attempting to lift his shirt. “It’s not uncommon to see mares with many stallions or a stallion with many mares.” Rose stated with Daisy being the last to chime in. “But only if you don’t mind us calling you our Wapendwa.” Zuberi heart swelled hearing those words… “I’d like that as well.”

Roses hands slid down and felt something that made her smile “I think someone elses also approves.” Rose said as the tent that had sneakily formed in Zuberi’s pants caused the zebra to blush. “I guess someone else does.” The three mares giggled mischievously, “I think we need to help our Wapendwa celebrate… how about it stud?” Lily said as she gave a playful grin. Her words being more of a statement than a question.

Helping Zuberi remove more and more of his clothing. When they lifted his shirt, they were met with a large, muscular frame that made them shudder with delight. Their anticipation grew as they couldn’t resist feeling his hard body. Just that sight alone had their mouths watering. When they reached for his pants, they nearly fainted at the sight of his massive cock, which, even when limp, looked impressively large.

“He’s so big,” Daisy cooed, gently running her hand over it. “Could that even fit?”

“I’d make it fit… even if it takes some practice?” Lily added, watching the throbbing member as if it had a pulse running through it. “Rose, I think you should go first… me and Daisy both know how you felt about Zuberi before we knew about ourselves.”

“I’d love to,” Rose cooed, pressing herself against Zuberi’s back. “Such a huge... meaty... well-endowed stallion.” She glanced around Zuberi to admire his impressive asset. “But let’s take this to the bedroom.”

“Sounds good to me,” Zuberi nodded, gesturing for the mares to lead the way. “After you.”

The three giggled and merrily made their way to their shared bedroom, casually discarding their clothes as they went. Once Zuberi entered the bedroom, he found the three mares arranged in a passionate and alluring display on the bed. Given the size of the bed and the fact that there was only one, it was evident that the three sisters slept together. Zuberi couldn’t help but smile playfully, appreciating the view of all three of them. Each had their unique allure. Rose boasted a well-proportioned body with ample curves. Lily had the largest breasts, while Daisy had an enticingly large posterior that begged to be explored.

“Hmm, decisions, decisions,” Zuberi teased, letting out a chuckle as he stripped down completely. The mares’ eyes widened as they took in his muscular, fit physique, and his thick, low-hanging cock. “I hope I’m not too big.”

“Bigger than any stallion we’ve been with, or any toys for that matter,” Rose moaned, lying back and forming a heart shape with her fingers over her wet, eager pussy. “So how about you show me how it feels, deep inside me?”

Zuberi approached Rose, while Lily and Daisy shifted and made room for the two of them. As he reached Rose, he felt her soft, yet firm hands slide sensually along his strong arms, up and around his back. They pulled each other closer, indulging in a deep, open, and passionate kiss. Their tongues danced together, and soft moans escaped Rose’s lips as she felt Zuberi’s cock grow harder, teasing her dripping slit.

Lily and Daisy watched, their own desire clear as they engaged with each other. Daisy came behind Lily, reaching up to grope her sister’s ample breasts, eliciting gentle moans. Meanwhile, Lily reciprocated by reaching around Daisy’s back to fondle her sister’s equally generous ass. Their heads arched forward and back as they kissed and moaned in tandem.

Rose would be the first to give in to pleasure, but they wanted to stoke their desires even more. Zuberi and Rose continued their passionate make-out session, with Rose’s hands exploring the contours of Zuberi’s strong back. She had always been drawn to powerful stallions and the sensation of their large bodies over hers. The mix of vulnerability and protection excited her, intensifying the wetness between her thighs.

Zuberi could feel Rose’s heat intensifying, even as his cock merely teased her slick slit. He wanted to take it slow, savoring every moment and drawing out as much pleasure as possible. He positioned himself above her, giving her room to squirm in the throes of pleasure. Rose shivered as she felt Zuberi’s cock slowly enter her. Even with just the blunt head inside, she could tell he was the biggest she had ever had, and her body craved him. Her pussy was drenched, and she willingly surrendered to the sensations coursing through her. Zuberi was not only a kind soul but now the source of intense pleasure, sending shivers through her body as her pussy eagerly accepted more of his length.

As time passed, Zuberi gradually managed to fit more and more of his size into the mare’s exceptionally tight pussy. She gasped and moaned as she felt herself slowly stretched and filled by his substantial member. It was an incredible sensation as the zebra’s thick cock wedged itself into her moist, welcoming hole. Meanwhile, Daisy and Lily continued to passionately make out and explore each other’s desires, their arousal growing as they watched Zuberi’s gentle but insistent progress.

“He’s so big,” Daisy moaned, her arousal evident as Lily began to pleasure her. “I wonder if I could take him deep inside me.”

“I’m sure you could,” Lily cooed, kissing Daisy’s neck. “I might not be able to handle him, but I’ve got a pair of sexy breasts that would love to feel him.”

“With a big, wet, sloppy facial,” Daisy moaned back, leaning in to kiss her sister. “Your breasts are so enticing, Lily. I bet you could wrap them around his thick cock.”

As the sisters teased and aroused each other, Zuberi maintained his deliberate pace, moving in and out of Rose’s pussy. The mare moaned softly, savoring every moment of the zebra’s cock filling her. It felt amazing, delving deeper into her soft, wet, and tight warmth. Her inner walls clung to his cock, seemingly milking it for every drop of pleasure it could offer. Zuberi continued his careful and loving rhythm.

“Z-Zuberi,” Rose moaned, her eyes filled with love as she looked up at him. “Please…please…”

“Please, what?” Zuberi asked, leaning in closer to catch her words amidst her whispered moans. “What do you need me to-“

Before he could finish his sentence, Rose pulled his face closer and kissed him deeply, her tongue exploring his mouth passionately. She moaned as she embraced him, deepening the kiss. This display of affection sent more moans echoing from her sisters as they seemed to near their own climaxes.

Zuberi could feel himself getting closer to his own release as well. His cock throbbed inside Rose’s pussy, and her tight grip along his length brought his cockhead to gently nudge against her cervix. It sent shivers of delight through both of them, and Rose clung to him even tighter.

“This feels amazing,” Zuberi thought to himself, his arousal building. “But I think we’re going too far. If I don’t pull out now, she might get pregnant.”

As if sensing his hesitation, Rose’s legs wrapped around Zuberi’s body, holding him in place as he continued to move in and out of her tightness. He knew he wouldn’t last much longer, caught between her moans, passionate kisses, and now her legs preventing him from withdrawing. It felt as if she wanted to get pregnant. Perhaps this was what she desired? To be impregnated by him, the zebra stud. The talk of taking them as his wives might have pushed them over the edge, and he realized he was on the brink of impregnating these mares.

With grunts and groans, Zuberi continued to passionately make out with Rose, thrusting faster and faster. Her pussy had now fully accommodated his size, and their movements brought her closer and closer to climax. She clenched around him, making it increasingly challenging for him to hold back.

Zuberi could feel his balls tightening as his cock swelled, signaling his impending orgasm. He pounded in and out at an sped up pace, his cock primed for release.

“Oh, look at his cock,” Daisy moaned, her eyes locked on Zuberi’s frantic thrusts. “I think he’s about to cum.”

“I think he wants to put a foal in Rose pretty badly,” Lily giggled, her own moans growing hotter. “I wonder what it feels like, letting that stud fill you up like this? It looks so much more… intense.”

“Well, she’s about to find out,” Daisy added, shivering and moaning in anticipation.

Zuberi continued to thrust forcefully in and out of Rose, feeling his climax approaching rapidly. The mare’s moans filled the room as she held him tightly, wanting to feel his entire length buried deep within her. It was an intense pleasure, as if every inch of her body sought to merge with his in this blissful moment. The longing and desire in her sisters’ eyes filled her with a sense of eagerness and pride, pushing her closer to climax. Given his training, Zuberi wouldn’t go limp after the initial orgasm, but Rose’s tight grip on his shaft made it challenging.

“Oh, I’m cumming, I’m cumming,” Rose panted and moaned, clinging to Zuberi as his strong weight pressed against her soft breasts. “Zuberi... I love you... I love you!”

Rose’s eyes rolled back as she reached her climax, her pussy milking Zuberi’s length, extracting every thick, potent drop. Unable to restrain himself any longer, Zuberi ejaculated into her, filling her womb with his seed, causing her belly to bulge slightly from the force of his release. Daisy and Lily watched, filled with a mix of love and lust, as they saw their sister getting impregnated by the magnificent zebra stud. Their desire to be equally filled with his thick cock and seed overwhelmed them, and they shivered in a smaller climax compared to Rose’s.

Rose’s body went limp, twitching and moaning as Zuberi leaned in to give her lips another tender kiss. Despite his climax, he continued to thrust in and out of her wet pussy, causing some of his excess cum to spill out and pool on the bed along with the mare’s glistening love juices. Eventually, he withdrew from her, the motion slow and pleasurable as large globs of hot, steamy cum spilled out of her well-used hole. Leaving Rose in her messy state, he turned to Daisy and Lily, both of whom looked ready to pounce on him like feral beasts.

“So?” Zuberi asked, looking between the two eager mares. Unable to choose between them, he decided to tease a little, swaying his still hard and throbbing cock from side to side. “Who’s next?”

Both mares rushed forward, with Zuberi barely having a chance to get off the bed before they were on their knees, their mouths and faces eagerly enveloping his cock and balls. Lily and Daisy moaned in sultry, whorish voices as they engaged in the passionate and messy worship of Zuberi’s loins. Their own soaking pussies created a small mess on the floor as they pleasured him.

Lily and Daisy were remarkably similar in how they kissed and licked along Zuberi’s cock and balls, but each had their slight variations, adding to the overwhelming pleasure of the moment.

Lily’s mouth was slightly smaller, and she preferred to lavish attention on the shaft, using her tongue to kiss and lick along it while gently stroking what her mouth wasn’t covering. Daisy, on the other hand, had a somewhat larger mouth and seemed to relish in taking in Zuberi’s musky scent as she engulfed his balls. She went even further, suckling on one of his testicles while fondling the other with her hand. These gardening flower mares were a unique blend of firmness and strength, coupled with a delicate and gentle touch. Their years of experience working with plants seemed to translate into their adeptness at pleasuring their zebra lover.

“Ladies, ladies, there’s plenty to go around,” Zuberi commented, his warm smile belying the desire for a more intense encounter. “But if you insist on being a little greedy...”

He slowly reached behind Lily’s head, and in an instant, he thrust forward, burying his full length deep into her mouth. Her eyes rolled back as her throat stretched to accommodate the size of Zuberi’s cock filling her. An orgasm washed over Lily, causing her to twitch in delight. Her much larger chest pressed against Zuberi’s thighs, prompting Daisy to pull away, her own eagerness temporarily thwarted as she watched her sister being passionately taken by Zuberi. Daisy shivered, her desire growing, and her inability to continue her oral worship made her fidgety.

“Lily, stop hogging him,” Daisy playfully pouted, her gaze fixated on her sister getting her throat penetrated by Zuberi. As she watched her sister, she noticed an opportunity to join in the pleasure. With a mischievous smile, she repositioned herself, lying on her back and sliding beneath Lily.

“Oh, sister, you’re so wet. Let me help you,” Daisy cooed as she began to bury her tongue deep into Lily’s pussy. Lily moaned in response, her mouth still wrapped around Zuberi’s cock. Daisy’s tongue worked expertly, and both sisters were soon moaning in pleasure. Lily’s moans resulted from the sweet taste of her sister’s nectar, along with her own feverish self-pleasure. There was no doubt that when she finally had Zuberi inside her, Daisy would be reluctant to let go.

Meanwhile, Zuberi continued to indulge in his pleasure with the mare currently deepthroating him. Rose watched, her own desires clear as she rubbed her overly sensitive, cum-soaked pussy and pinched her erect nipples. Zuberi thrust forward, unable to hold back as he felt another climax building. Rose had drained more from him than he expected, but he was determined to continue, repeatedly bottoming out in Lily’s throat.

Daisy, too, was on the brink of climax, her fingers expertly pleasuring herself while she continued to tongue-fuck her sister’s pussy. Both mares worked together, their synchronized efforts aimed at pushing Lily to orgasm first. Lily, caught between the dual stimulation, felt her eyes roll back as waves of pleasure washed over her. Her pussy dripped onto Daisy’s face, and the rhythmic thrusting of Zuberi in her mouth produced sultry, sloppy sounds, a testament to the intensity of her arousal.

“Lily... I’m gonna cum again,” Zuberi grunted, his hands gripping the sides of Lily’s head. He could sense her eagerness for his release, and he took control. “I bet you want to swallow it all, drown in thick, hot cum, don’t you?”

Lily moaned in agreement, her voice muffled, practically begging for his release. Zuberi’s smirk revealed a dominant side as he responded, “Alright, let’s see if you can take it.”

Zuberi quickened his thrusts, hammering his cock in and out of Lily’s mouth. She shook and quivered, already climaxing and coating Daisy’s face with wet orgasms. Her sister continued to pleasure her, but Daisy wanted more than anything to feel Zuberi’s cock inside her, to reach climax while he claimed her as one of his mates, just as Rose and Lily desired.

The three flower sisters were consumed by their longing for Zuberi, for this moment and eternity.

“Here it comes,” Zuberi huffed, feeling the warmth build in his balls and course through his cock. “I’m gonna fill your sexy belly!”

With a final, powerful thrust, Zuberi reached his climax, pumping thick ropes of cum into Lily’s mouth. She swallowed eagerly, savoring the flavor of his hot, viscous essence. Her belly swelled slightly as it filled, and her throat bulged from the girth of his cock. Lily clung to Zuberi as he continued to thrust, her eyes rolling back as she savored this overwhelming experience, struggling to breathe as she inhaled his musky scent.

After a moment of bliss, Zuberi gently lowered Lily to lie beside Rose, her throat thoroughly satisfied by his earlier attentions.

“Zuberi...” Daisy cooed, her eyes pleading as she looked up at him, her body soaked with sweat, and her face still glistening with cum. “Please... please, please, please, fuck me!”

Desperation welled up within her; she needed release after holding back, yet Zuberi was well aware of her desires.

“Sorry it took so long,” Zuberi replied, positioning himself to accommodate Daisy’s request. “But how do you want it?”

“From behind...” Daisy moaned, rolling over to present her soft, round ass to Zuberi. “I want you to take me from behind. I want to feel you on top of me while you ravage me, just like you did with my sisters.”

“Anything for you,” Zuberi smiled, aligning his cockhead with Daisy’s entrance, and began to penetrate her. She moaned as he entered her, tightness gripping his cock.

“Keep going... keep going,” Daisy begged, locking eyes with Zuberi, her heart filled with longing. “I want you to take me hard, just like you did with my sisters.”

Zuberi smirked, leaning forward to press his chest against Daisy’s back, his mouth inches away from her ear. He whispered, his words filled with dominance and lust, his warm breath caressing her neck, "Is that what you want? For me to pound you into a whimpering, orgasming mess?"

Daisy shuddered, his words alone nearly sending her over the edge. "Yes... please... fill me with your seed."

"You asked for it."

With those words, Zuberi began to pound into Daisy, his pace relentless and his cock sinking into her depths. She moaned in pleasure, her pussy stretching and accommodating his massive size. Her inner walls clung to his shaft, as if attempting to milk every drop of his cum he could offer her. Daisy trembled as she felt his full weight on top of her, and his cock thrusting deep inside her.

"You feel so good, Daisy," Zuberi grunted, his breathing labored from his efforts. "I could fuck you like this all day."

Daisy's moans intensified as she felt another orgasm building, her body quivering and shaking with pleasure. She struggled to remain coherent as the intensity of the moment washed over her. Zuberi's pace was unrelenting, and he seemed determined to make her his. Daisy had never felt such intense pleasure, and she couldn't imagine a better way to spend her evening.

Zuberi continued to thrust in and out of Daisy, his pace relentless and his cock filling her fully. She moaned, her body writhing in ecstasy as she felt his length penetrating her depths. Daisy had always dreamed of being taken like this, and now her dreams were coming true. The pleasure was almost too much for her, and she knew that she wouldn't last much longer.

"Fuck... I'm going to cum, Zuberi," Daisy moaned, her body shaking as she struggled to hold on. "I want you to cum inside me, put a little one inside me... please" Daisy begged as her face controted into pure bliss

Zuberi's only response was a grunt of pleasure as he continued to pound into Daisy, his cock throbbing and swelling as he approached his own release. Daisy's words had spurred him on, and he was determined to give her what she wanted. His balls tightened as he neared his peak, and he could feel the heat building.

Daisy's moans echoed throughout the room as she felt her climax building, the pleasure threatening to overwhelm her. She had never felt so close to a stallion before, and she knew that this moment would be one she would remember forever.

As Zuberi continued to thrust, Daisy reached her climax, her body quaking and shivering with the intensity of her pleasure. She gasped and moaned, her voice ragged from exertion. She could feel his thick, virile seed pouring into her, and she knew that she had been impregnated. Her orgasm intensified as she imagined Zuberi's seed taking root, her belly swelling with his foal.

Daisy collapsed onto the bed, her body limp and her mind hazy from her intense orgasm.

The messy arrangement of bodies that followed, tangled up within each other's grasp... "Asante mungu wa kike... asante kwa nafasi hii ya pili." Zuberi whispered, drifting to sleep as the three mares followed suit.

***

Zuberi stood before Zecora, hands behind his back as he looked forward as the tapping of her finger seemed to echo in his head like a hammer on a brass bell. He was beyond nervous. The last few weeks were not what he had expected after meeting those three mares. Zecora’s gaze weighed heavily over Zuberi as she looked over the report he had submitted. Normally, this type of report would be left to one of her assistants that helped with day to day managerial tasks. This was a special case and one she had to be involved in.

“Let me make sure I understand this correctly.” Zecora’s voice caused Zuberi to flinch. “In the last several weeks, you met three pony mares, grew close to them and genuinely have an interest in these three?” She walked over towards Zuberi, who was visibly sweating.

“Yes, Mistress.” Zuberi was curt and quick. “I have.”

"Asante mungu wa kike... asante kwa nafasi hii ya pili." = Thank you goddess... thank you for this second chance
