In the North, Spark has encountered a new tribe of creatures, who are eager to take him as an emissary between cultures. In the south, Iron sleeps off his wounds, with dreams of a new life for himself and a certain zebra. Silver tries to settle in those he saved from the cultists into their own lives. Fantasy play establishes herself in Baltimare, and she too, has encountered cultures unknown to her before. As they all search for normalcy, it remains to be seen just what dangers await beyond the horizon

"Yes, that's right. I have to buy material components for my spells. I'm looking for these things specifically," then Fantasy proceeded by telling the catlady that she needed these things:
A small square of silk.
A parchment rolled up into a small cone.
A bit of fleece.
A clear crystal or mineral prism.
A short piece of copper wire.
A bit of wool or a small lump of wax.
An eyelash encased in a bit of gum arabic.

Also, should I get two or more sets of these things or are they are they not used up when using a spell?

Iron could not remember anything of his dreams the night before. Though he awoke with vague emotions of apprehension and terror and a vague feeling of needing to run while not being able, these were still far from him, and any associated mental images, if they ever existed at all, were erased from memory upon waking, as they so often are.

Not so this night. Iron finds himself under a full moon sky bespeckled with stars, though far more than he can remember ever seeing in the city sky. Before him is a campfire, with flame that rises higher than than the diameter and amount of wood on the fire would imply. From the fire emanates a smell of burning diesel, cloth, and feathers, and beyond it are the silhouettes of tall trees and undergrowth, that further away still morphs into the outlines of tenement buildings and stone apartment blocks.

Close to Iron, and shadowed from the moonlight by a tall tree, is what Iron perceives as White Sands. A little further down, and more visible in the fire and moonlight, is Black Cauldron

Iron stared at the fire, almost in a trance. His snout scrunched lightly at the familiar and disgusting stench, but nonetheless his face remained neutral, vacant from any expression as the flames flicker its warmth to him.
He remained seated, foreleg lightly hovering near it, as he glanced at both Cauldron and Sands, softly biting his lip as his body was still.
What to do was all he could think at the moment, echoing along the skeletal walls of his cranium, taunting him.

Stretching his hoof towards it, the fire appears almost distant, though it burns with greater heat and intensity than the fuel would imply. For a moment, he almost sees a phantom. A small yellow pony prancing about the fire. But the phantom vanishes the moment he moves his eyes.

White Sands must be behind Iron relative to the fire. She must be, because there is no other way she would be so covered in shadow. Cauldron turns towards him, smiling as if ready to talk to him. Then Iron hears a loud sound. A gun shot. Then ringing. Neither Cauldron nor Sands react to it. Indeed the sound seems isolated to Iron himself. But Iron can hear it. Iron can hear it several times over.

Iron's ears immediately fold as his eyes widened and breathing is cut short from the phantom before trying to follow it with his vision, only to disappear from his eyes. His breathing becomes ragged as he glances around in what he thinks is an inconspicuous fashion before letting a quick sigh of relief.
He glances towards Cauldron, offering her a soft, apprehensive smile before his ears shoot up from the familiar sound of metal bits flying and his eyes shoot open even further, glancing around the area.
Where are they, his mind demanded in a mix of shocked and confused rage as the shots continue, where are the ones that are threatening my group. I will [i][annihilate/i] them!

No more gunshot sounds, and no more tricks of the mind. For a moment it's almost peaceful there, under the stars. Nothing but rocky outcropping in front of him around the fire, then undergrowth and trees beyond that, and behind him, then brick covered buildings beyond that.

Although the perceived danger is gone, Iron stands there, battle ready as he forcefully grinds his teeth together. He stares straight into the tree hiding Sands with self-righteous contempt as steam flows out of his nostrils.
What are you hiding, he violently thinks to himself, face clearly expressing a seething hatred towards the massive log separating the fluffy mare from him. Why do you keep her hostage. Keep me hostage after what we did, huh?! Tell me!

Iron pressed his teeth even harder at the lack of a response from the log trapping the mare he wishes to fully see. You think I am a joke to you, huh?! he thought, laser focused on that wooden prison. I am nothing to you?! Some loser that cannot do anything?! Is that it?!
The enraged stallion started to grind his hoof against the soil, ready to smash that provocative tree out of his sight. I am not a toy, you hear me?!

Much of her is still covered in black and dark green. Some of her is now exposed, white fur. Iron can see her outline, and in particular, a big bulge in her normally thin, white belly. Blood seeps out of her head and mouth as she lays there, sprawled out and unmoving.

Iron remains unmoving, staring at the bloodied pony in disbelief. He slowly shakes his head, mouth hanging open in astonishment at what he's done.
Unable to bear the consequence of his actions after a few harsh, painful seconds, the stallion averted his gaze from the scene, bititng his lip harsh enough to spill blood. "I-I did not want it to end like this," he utters, voice wavering after each word as he found it difficult to see ahead of him with the forming tears in hie eyes. "I failed you."

Iron shuts his eyes at Sands' pained sounds, paralyzed in place after what he did. "I'm not good enough for you," he mutters mostly to himself as he breathes erratically between sporadic sobs. "I-I... d-don't..." he trails off, too embroiled in his own loathing.

Her appearance varies. Soft white fur over a suspicious bulge in her belly. Black plant matter - looks most like seaweed, but he can't tell - that covers her eyes and keeps them from looking at Iron. And on her legs... naked pink flesh with terrible black scars. She moves her legs about in evident pain.

She makes a strange sound, like she's trying to speak while inhaling. A "wrap" noise.

Iron breathes erratically once more, trying to step in to maybe try to help, but stops midway out of either fear or physical limitations as he watches her writhe in pain. "I-I can't help you if I don't know what's happening," he stutters out, clearly hurt at seeing Sands being so horrifyingly and unnaturally writhing in pain "I-I cannot do anything for you. I..." he felt a a little water train separate from his eye and into his cheek, watching in pained horror.

Iron can see fairly clearly what has happened to her. She has a fractured skull and a broken jaw. She is either choking on blood or has suffered some damage to her neck. She is horribly scared and burned underneath, on her legs from injuries that had nothing to do with Iron. And she’s pregnant. What Iron cannot do, is help her in any meaningful way.

Iron looks back to see an earth pony stallion standing there in front of the brush. His white fur almost glows in moonlight, and his body is smaller and less muscular than Iron’s. Iron would recognize the form as his younger brother, Tortoise, from his voice and from the long scar that runs down the left side of his face, a remnant from having fallen down a ravine when he was a colt.

“Iron?” He asks again. “What are you doing?”

Iron can't help but look down at the floor, the faintest pout starting to form. He breathes softly as all that transpired came crashing back down in his head, mind flooded with regretful, tragic images flashing through his head.
In a melancholic path, he mentally wandered along all he did, from acting spiteful to Sands so many times, breaking Cauldron's heart for the first time back at the bar, failing to connect to anypony he met since he got here...

No, he thought to himself. That is not true. There is one.

Cauldron's excitement back after the gangster beatdown. Her generous hospitality to give him a place to live, to cook for him, to dance with, to be with. Her grateful hug for all that he did after his repayment. All this snuffed out whatever feelings of failure he had suffered.
Shakingly standing up, he stares straight into Tortoise's eyes, breathing deeply. "Whatever pain comes from trying to bond with others is nothing compared to the joy that it provides," he proclaims, starting to regain his poise "It is what reminds us we are alive."

"It is not so developed as Equestria. Not so rich or modern. It is very old place, covered in mountains, jungles, rivers and seashore. Most of us live in small villages and grow food. Rice and other crops. We live in straw and bamboo houses. The towns have buildings of stone. There are cities. Some of them have cars and factories like Equestria, and great buildings of stone and mortar, and older buildings left behind by Kirin Empire. We respect our families and each other. We do not control weather, but plant by the rainy and dry seasons."

"I may be an absolute, good for nothing idiot, but I at least am alive," he shoots back, albeit with considerably less steam when once again reminded of his failures "I do not pretend I am a high and mighty noble stallion that thinks is too good for socializing and leaves everypony behind.

I thought that someone was messing with Iron again, I wasn't expecting a PSA on safe sex. Also I get the feeling Iron was supposed to be frightened by the changeling but he's lived in a jungle so big bugs don't scare him.
Worst part of it for him is the messed up sleep schedule. You just need one bad nap and that takes days to fix.

He snaps his vision to Sands. "I know it has been a single day since we met and you may have something you have yet to reveal that may spark such a thing, but... we consumated already."

She places both hooves near her mouth. She seems to be nibbling on the filter, or otherwise doing something with that cigarette besides the recommended use. Her eyes are locked on the far wall
"Thank you. That really helps me. I don't have anywhere else to go, and I couldn't afford to strike out tomorrow if I didn't. I need to send a telegram to my mother. I would send a letter but it's slow, I would rather a telegram. But even getting a telegram to the right place through security is difficult. I need to send my mother a telegram and let her know I am still alive. She probably thinks I am dead. She probably had me declared dead a year ago, and distributed all of my stuff to my siblings. What little I had, I mean. I suppose she'll be happy I am alive, but it will be like 'how did you get caught?' and "can you get back to work?' But I am not sure I even can. If I even still have it."
She takes another puff, before finding it doesn't burn. She flips out the lighter, and flicks it one, two, three times before getting a flame that stays. She places it up to the end of the cigarette, just to find that she's smoked it down to the filter - a filter that is chewed and useless anyways. She flicks the filter away, and frantically searches for another cigarette

"Don't give me that load of shit" Strangely, it's like she has only just now started actually talking to Iron, rather than thinking outloud. She finally finds a cigarette in her pack, and pulls it out
"I know you you think of me as a floozie, or a tramp. You only want that zebra and her jazz. Or something like that. Well I'll tell you. It's about service! It's about serving and living to serve. Whether it's the elderly, or getting the drinks of the rich, or mother!" she jabs her hoof towards Iron, and loses her cigarette in the process. She dives her hoof over next to Iron's body
"And you have to do it, because you know they cannot live without you. So you do it, however disgusting it is to you. And however inane or boring it may appear to others. Because it gives you purpose."
She pulls the cigarette from near Iron, and immediately begins to try to light it. Though she gets a light several times rather than holding down on the fuel, she flicks it again

"It's much harder than you think just being pretty" She seems to finally remember how a lighter works, and inhales for a very long time. Then she starts coughing. Loudly.

The mixture between the lengthy discussion on how difficult it'd be for Sands to contact her mother, the light jabs on his person and her accusations leave Iron perplexed, finally craning his head to look at the now coughing Sands before he frowns deeply. "I do not want it to end like that!" Iron exclaims in clear frustration "I do not want to use a mare for their privates and throw her away later on just because she stopped making me hard." The stallion, energized by the opening emotional faucet reaching its peak, slides up the bed as he sat up. "You deserve better than being a toy for depravity, no matter how used to it you are, damnit." He breathed was getting labored by this point as his emotional downpour only further expanded. "At this point, I do not care if all this foal rearing stuff is fake, I care enough to see you more than a rag to clean my cum off. Do you think I am fine for not finding something to like about you besides your looks? I hate it!"
Iron pants softly as he looked at Sands, eyes softening considerably yet still had that fiery emotion from his previous speech. "...I will find a way to love you, even if it kills me."

The stallion scritches his chin while still prone, belly up as he gradually widened his eyes. "...huh..." he lets out as he gradually turned to face Sands, flipping his body to the side. "Since I have split all of my secrets and crushed both our spirits, I might as well come clean with something. I..." he trails off, rubbing his foreleg with his other hoof as a small blush starts to coat his face. "Remember the whole 'discovery' aspect I have talked about?"

Iron, seeing how doubtful Sands is of his claim, gently rolls next to her, tentatively wrapping his foreleg around hers and aligns the frog of his hoof with her own.
"You... you amaze me, Sands," the native confesses "After all the idiotic things you have had to endure from me, you still stay here and listen to me. By this point I fail to understand why you would do it, but..." his eyes shyly dart away as his blush once again appeared on his cheeks "it feels... nice."

Iron pulls it up, and touches the edge of her puffy anus. Pressing into it, it doesn't move much. Iron has to press a little harder until it starts to open. Still more pressure is required before it expands wide enough to fit him. White Sands lets out an "umph" grunt as he presses in. The lubricant on him is essential to making this work, but it only does so much. The hardest part, however, is behind him, as he presses in

White Sands kicks a hoof against the headboard, and her eyes go wide before she turns her neck away from his, stretching it straight out and up. Her tail twitches and presses into him as if she is trying to lower it. Iron can feel her anus gripping onto him.

Even as his hooves tremble from the overwhelming power of his orgasm, Iron still finds enough to strength to clock in a few strong, hard thrusts into Sands' gripping cavern as his posture is slowly and reluctantly starting to sag from the pressure.
"Urgh..." he groans, tone less powerful than his first as his paylod is still being delivered to his love.

"I am not sure how much more there is to tell, besides reciting stories I heard. In ancient times, ponies of extraordinary skill and ability would gather together to explore unknown lands and put down monsters or bandits that threatened ponykind. With might and magic, sword and spell, they faced challenges and fought beasts like of which are stuff of legend. They gathered great piles of artifacts and gold, and returned home to be greated by fanfare and applause by townponies."

Mala again lights up, smiling with his slightly yellowed, and partly broken yet still somewhat menacing set of teeth. He takes a moment, but raises his right paw to Silver’s hoof, and tries to shake hold it. He doesn’t seem to know what to do, at first just holding his hoof, then shaking and failing to match Silver’s rhythm, never holding with a firm grip. His pads are large and soft, almost strangely soft. He has long claws that don’t seem to retract, and have been filed down to dull ends

Mala looks back at the Daring Do chest
"You say it is nothing like adventuring... when I was young I liked the travel brochure because it showed jungles and high mountains, and I imagined it was like Zebrica and old Hyenia. Like what I saw in the motion picture. But my dad said no, Kaftaristan is plains and hills and semi-deserts where the rain does not fall for half a year. He says it is nothing like that.... but to me it still kind of represented what it meant to be a gnoll. To be out there where you belonged, and not a stranger in a city. Here I see a pony running through the jungle in what I think is supposed to be Equestria, and you tell me ponies will go out and find monsters and fight them... It is a pony doing what I wanted to as a cub. And if it really is nothing like that, then I can look at the chest and think I do it for real. I want this one."

He does another small nod, closing his eyes and reopening them when his head is level
“You do indeed think like a pony. You would get along well with Makade. Teaching is not some one way act, like a teacher before a set of students, silent and listening. It is two ways, teacher and student. The student is active, learning from the teacher. Observing and pursuing knowledge. When you take the pup along for the hunt, you show them how to track, but they must listen and learn themselves. So it is with the lessons the spirits and the animals have for the Ma’iignan, and what the Ma’iignan must teach ourselves.

Take for example the lesson the eagle teaches us. The eagle, when they court and bond, fly high into the sky, and hold each other by the claws. When they have flown so high they see the land under them as far as their sharp eyes will show them, they close their wings and dive to the ground. It is a splendid display as they spiral together, and only at the last moment do they break apart and soar upwards, before they are smashed against the ground. From this display, we Ma’iignan learn what it means to love - to tie yourself to another even in great danger or risk to self. That is how we learn. Through absorbing the wisdom nature provides.”

"What was he about?"
"I have no idea. But stand firm as you would against a bear. Ponies do not show you respect when you show force, but you will know their lack of respect without it. He tells us the doubles are spooked. Either he tells the truth or he is lying to us and they are scheming. Either way, we are in danger. Get your bow, and prepare."
Waabishki is not normally inclined to accept his interpretation of events. But having no more information than he, and knowing no better, she walks off back to the village, and gathers her bow

Spark has a better view of the forest now, with light breaking through areas of the canopy. There is a monotony the endless trees, expanding in every direction. It may be peaceful, or perhaps even terrifying, depending on your perspective.

Silver feels better than he did last night at least. There are some long scratches on the headboard. Jubilosa places the wine bottle on the table next to the bed, and jumps on. Through the big windows, Silver has some view of the harbor at night

Her eyes express surprise. Kissing the beak is still a bit odd. Her tongue is rather small, and there's a smell generally of wine. At least it's not octopus.

Probably a 12% alcoholic content, as to be expected. If it was cut with water, it hasn't lost its flavor

She pulls her wings up and walks over him, placing a claw on each side of him and her hind legs on each side of him. She pulls herself up to where her head is just past his, and she looks down. Her body is long and slender, over top of Silver's barrel. Her fluffy feathered chest is above his, not far from his muzzle. Her tail is raised and playfully swings side to side, with the tuft dancing about

He says, with satanic trips

She smiles back to him, or tries to anyways, and grabs the wine bottle
"We're gonna need more of this"
She takes a long drink, puts the bottle back, and slowly lowers her rear onto Silver. Silver can feel fur, then flesh as she tries to find the fit. Her thin lips rub against Silver as she rubs up and down against him, smiling at him with lidded eyes. Then, she tries to press herself onto him, moving her lips apart slowly, then she moves off, and back on, then off and on, slowly wetting herself and Silver. Finally, with an "ungth" She forces Silver into her. It's kind of a tight grip and he isn't all the way in, but the bird is trying

She spreads her legs a little further apart, moves herself a little more upright, and lets herself fall onto Silver, forcing him deeper in. She bucks up her legs to pull him out a little, and Silver can feel the grip pulling against him. She slides down on him again and this time, he goes deeper as she is wetter. Silver has a pretty good look of her long, slender and almost white tan belly. She smiles drunkenly to him

Her legs are long and slender. Less massive and muscular than Silver's or any similar pony, especially an Earth Pony, but tall. They have plenty of spring in them, which she uses to move her rear up and down. She arches her back so that her hindquarters are angeled more above him, while her face is above his. Still, Silver can feel himself slide in and out with a bit of an angle, hitting some of her walls with more force than others. It is fortunate that there are still remnants of Silver's friendship with her from the previous night inside of her, as she is fairly tight. She winces in pain at the end of each movement, closing her eyes

She lowers herself to him for a moment, and presses herself against his chest floof, wrapping her wings around him. For a moment she lays ontop of him, dreamily staring into his eyes, occasionally wincing at the mismatch of their sexual equipment Then she picks her hind legs, and starts moving over Silver again, arching her back to gain a more vertical angle even as her chest is low

"No, thank you, for this beach-"
Jubilosa pulls away from Silver, righting herself aand sitting cowgirl on Silver, evidenty wanting to twist around and look to the harbor. But as she does so, her eyes go wide and she stops her sentence to realase and "unck" moan. Silver's gone all the way inside her, and he can feel that he's hit her cervix or otherwise reached the end of her accessible reproductive interior. She closes her beak, and pulls up, now pushing herself up from this upright position

"I've never taken from a pony before.."
For a moment her eyes are almost angry, like she wants to take out her rage for the (perceived) rape of her homeland on Silver's dick. Of course she's incapable of returning even the pain it causes her but there is a noticeable increase in the speed of her movements, up and down over him, massaging him grip a grip that never varies as a pony's does, but is naturally tight around him. She takes him, forcing her beak together and closing her eyes, spreading her legs further apart and placing her claws on the headboard above Silver

If it's how she wants him, he won't argue. He instead leans his head back, enjoying the moment. Jubilosa's name can be heard softly and quietly being whispered from Silver's lips.

Her angry expression slowly melts as her eyes go upwards, and a smile moves across her face

"Volador Jubilosa" She almost whispers to him. Her speed stays at a steady high but not rushed pace. She moves her back around, mostly to keep her head and chest close to him but her rear at a closer to perpendicular angle. Still, Silver can feel himself pounding into her at changing angles, hitting her insides in different ways as he moves around in her. Her hind legs have more than a little spring to them, picking up the speed and pulling further away, and letting silver almost half way out, until his medial ring brushes against her lips in every pull and push.

As her hind pulls up and down she lets out a few soft moans as time goes by....

Then her eyes widen and she stops, falling onto him. She scratches the head board once then twice, thwen hits Silver on the chest. It doesn't really hurt with the soft gloves but it's clearly a scratching motion. The she wraps her forelegs around his shoulders, forces her body onto her, and hugs him, almost trembling with greater moaning

His breathing turns into snorting. He lets out a very ponylike nicker before his breath/snorting picks up pace. She can feel his shaft clench and his head flare out inside of her.

"J-Jubilosa, I am-!"

He doesn't get the word out before Jubilosa feels it: a rope of white-hot stallion seed, splattering all over her insides and even being deposited through her cervix and straight into her robe. It's followed by another rope, then another, and another, and the griffon quickly begins to feel like a stuffed turkey as the volume of spunk is too great for her womb to handle, forcing it to expand and distend her belly outwards.

Jubilosa closes her otherwise wide eyes, and keeps her beak tight as she continues moving on him, up and down. Silver's ejaculation causes her to slow down and keep him deeper in her, and she moves each claw to each side. It's not until sometime after he finishes that she stops moving.

She stares right down into Silver's eyes with her own gold, and makes one final movement of her hip with an "umph." Slowly, she pulls herself up and off, with a "r'ow" and a scratch of the bed next to him. She lays down on top of him, herself breathing heavily
