>Walking, just loads and loads of walking in the very late evening, or maybe very early night even
>Who knows it’s dark as shit and you’re carrying a pack bag full of supplies in this slightly windy weather
>The nights and evenings are starting to become colder, is summer going to start slowly coming to an end? You would not like that, especially in your current living conditions
>You are Anonymous, a human who’s lucky enough to have gotten the chance to live his life in Equestria, the magical land of horsepussy from the cartoon you’ve been watching
>And also you are an utter moron
>You’ve rented a house to live in, and you found one that was told to be “some ways outside of Hollow Shades”, for fairly cheap
>You thought it’d be ok, it’s not that far out, you checked from some random ass map, some exercise will do you good and since it’s secluded you’ll have a lot of peace and quiet, but it should be near enough to the town to bring back a mare or two if you get lucky from Hollow Shades
>Too bad you were so excited about it that you sort of miscalculated how secluded it was
>Instead of being Anon the human who lives near Hollow Shades, you’re Anon the hermit who lives away from everything and is not considered to even live in Hollow Shades as it turns out
>Well, Hollow Shades is still the nearest town to you, but your house is surrounded by a lot of woods and you live close to some mountains
>And so far you have not had much luck with getting visitors since it’s actually such a hike to Hollow Shades you’d need to stay at an in instead of coming back
>Well that and having only lived here for a week and visiting Hollow Shade just once, you discovered it’s actually a shorter walk to a lone train station and from there you’ve only visited Manehattan once, and decided to make it a relaxing trip and stayed at a hotel, wasting most of your moneys
>So your first trip ever to Hollow Shades was completely uneventful since you woke up late and got a bit lost, you only restocked on various supplies and started to head back in
>Not to mention as it turns out the town isn’t really much alive during daylight hours, bat ponies seem to favor sleeping through the day and you’re unsure if you should start changing your sleeping schedule just yet to match the bat ponies
>But thinking about your situation comes to a halt when you see your little wooden cabin
>There’s light shining out from the windows and you know you did not leave anything on when you departed earlier today
>So ignoring your now aching feet you sneakily dart to your house and set the bag of supplies onto the porch and check the door
>It’s open, and there’s sounds of rummaging and muffled talking coming from the inside
>Carefully you push the door open and peak in while listening for any sounds so you can confirm how many whatever’s are inside your house
>To your surprise you find the backside of a pony staring straight at you from across the house as the pony rummages through your stuff while muttering
>A bat pony it seems, judging by the wings neatly folded against her sides
>A white grey batpony with navy blue wings and denim blue mane as well as tail
>You stare at her cutie mark that seems to be some kind of a peach colored flower
>She has not noticed you and you decide to stop crouching and walk in, you were worrying it might have been some kind of a scary creature
>You walk behind her and hen keep looking at her butt, you were pretty sure she’d take notice of you already
>You could just call out to the intruder but you could also do something humorous just for the heck of it, maybe-
>The bat pony mare suddenly stopped and looked behind her, locking her eyes with yours, same color as her cutie ma-
>You don’t get to finish your train of thought or the greeting you were about to give her, a very sophisticated one like “Sup” or “Hi” but she proceeded to buck you first
>And almost on your family jewels, but thankfully her aim was just a hint upwards and hat you on the abdomen, because it hurts like hell
>With a cry of pain you fall down, mostly because you got spooked she crushed your testicles, but then there’s suddenly a tug here and there and before you know it your arms and legs are bound
>And as you wiggle around and look up you find the mare staring at you with a stern expression on her face
>”Who...what are you and what are you doing in my house?”
>You stare at the pony with confusion as she keeps studying you with her eyes
“Your house? This is my house.”
>Her expression becomes more hostile
>”So you’re the one who has moved my stuff somewhere, where are they?”
>What stuff? Sure the place was ready furnished but there was no stuff, none at all, you checked
“I have done nothing to anything”
>”You’re lying. Why else would you be staying in my house?”
“No I’m no, here let me-t”
>You wiggle around and manage to sit up, alarming the pony as she opens up her wings and seems to take a stance of sorts
“Check that cabinet over there, there’s my contract for renting his house”
>You nudge towards a cabinet with your head
>The bat pony seems suspicious but slowly walks to the cabinet without taking her eyes off of you and rummages around with one of her wings, and pulls out a piece of paper, your rental contract and starts to read it
>And hear ears return back to their normal position, and then start to bend backwards and by the time she’s done with the paper they’re fully floppy
>”Your story checks out, I can’t believe they re-rented the house...”
>She sets the paper back down and her ears fold back up and with a sigh she walks to you and undoes the knots on the rope that is tying you down
>You get up and wince how sore your abdomen feels
>”I apologize for bucking you, I wasn’t sure what you were and thought you were some kind of a troll creature who had taken over my house”
>Wait troll creature? Now you know you’re not that ugly, hell you’re actually pretty handsome so thanks for that random rude pony
“Maybe you should not go around bucking poor creatures, that really hurt”
>The pony simply pulls up a chair and sits down
>”My name is Daylily, the pony who previously lived in this house. And it was supposed to still be rented to me”
>You pull up a chair as well land sit at the small table, opposite from this Daylily bat pony
“Daylily, is that even your real name? It sounds awfully non-bat pony-like, you’re sure you haven’t just made it up on the spot?”
>Daylily stares at you for a few seconds while looking a bit frustrated
>”Why would I make up a name, and even if I did I’d choose something like that?”
>You shrug
“I don’t know, you might just be a burglar who’s just pulling things out of her ass so I won’t turn her in to the authorities”
>Daylily’s expression changes back to her serious face 
>”I see, yes that is possible, how would I proof that I am telling the truth?”
>Well, now you find yourself at a loss for words, you have no idea
“Well I guess that...”
>You don’t really care that much if it is true or not, you just wanted to get back at the mare for kicking you and then binding you up
>Well, the silence is getting awkward so might as well try to strike up a conversation while you’re thinking
“You said you’ve been gone for a while, where were you?”
>Her ears droop once again and her expression changes, for a brief moment she seems a bit...sad?
>”I was out training, in the mountains”
>Her ears rise back up and the hint of sadness is gone
“Training, why? And why in the mountains?”
>”I wanted to get stronger and I’ve read and heard of many stories where the main character goes to train in the mountains in seclusion to power up fast so that’s what I did”
>The bat pony lets out a sigh
>”The pony renting out this place must have thought I’d gone missing, I was gone for a long while, but not long enough for all the money I paid for rent in advance to have ran out”
>Suddenly it seems like the pony realized something
>”When you came in you noticed that the door was not broken in am I correct?”
>You stare at the pony for a few seconds
“Wha? Oh right yeah the door was open”
>The pony nods and flashes you a smug smile for a brief second
>”I came in with a key instead of breaking down the door so that proofs you that I am telling the truth”
>You nod
“Yeah you’re right”
>Not that you were actually concerned about that to begin with but at least now you’re sure she’s probably telling the truth
>”I’m going to have to go and have a chat with that pony to sort things out. Goodbye Anonymous creature”
>The pony climbs off of the chair
“A human, I’m a human”
>The pony pauses and looks at you again
>”So this is what a human looks like, I heard a few rumors about your kind when traveling back from the mountains”
>But then she takes flight and starts to slowly head towards the door
>”I apologize for the inconvenience”
>But as she opens up the door there’s a howl loud enough to make you jump coming from somewhere, somewhere very close to your house
>Daylily quickly slams the door close and locks it before rushing to turn off the light
“What is it?”
>Daylily signs for you to stay quiet and peeks out from a window
>”Timber wolves, I ran into a big pack of them and they’ve been following me for a few nights, I though I’d lost them”
>You quickly sneak closer to the pony and the window
“Timber wolves, out here?”
>Daylily nods
>”It’s weird, but there, look”
>She points at something outside your window and you look out
>And see one, two, three and son enough 5 timber wolves sniffing around on the yard
>And they look much more intimidating than you’d have thought for a pile f wood and sticks walking around
“What are we going to do”
>Daylily suddenly yanks you down as one of the wolves turns to look straight at the window
>”We’ll wait for them to leave and I’ll notify the town guards at Hollow Shades once I reach the town”
>Suddenly Daylily quickly puts distance to the window and yanks you away from it, just in time as a timber wolf rams its head through the window screen
>It locks eyes with you and lets out a growl that is joined by more growling coming from the outside
>You stare back at the snarling wooden beast while feeling your pulse picking up
“Fuck”


“Fuck”
>”What are you lying around on your butt? Get up quick!”
>Daylily suddenly delivers a flying kick to the timber wolf’s face, knocking the creature’s head out from the window frame
>”Help me push this closet!”
>Daylily flies to the large wooden wardrobe and starts to push it, and you join her in doing so
>And not a moment too soon, as the two of you slide it to block the broken window something rams against it, hard
“Whoa they’re strong!”
>You quickly push the wardrobe against the wall with your whole weight so it does not fall over
>”Do you have anything heavy around here?”
>You quickly look around and then point at a large wooden trunk
“That thing!”
>Daylily quickly flies to the trunk and starts to push it towards you, struggling to do so as she flaps her wings hard but the trunk just slowly drags along the floor
>Another knock against the wardrobe almost makes you and it fall over
“Hurry! I can’t hold this for much longer!”
>Daylily grits her teeth’s and starts to flap her wings even faster, sweat pouring down her face
>”I’m...trying!”
>Daylily managed to get the trunk to you and the two of you position it in front of the wardrobe, and not a moment too soon
“Shit that was really intense!”
>Daylily turns her attention to the door
>”It’s too late to relax yet, fortify the door quickly!”
“Ok, right”
>You rush to your couch and drag it in front of the door, and soon enough all of your furniture has been made into barricades at the window and the door 
>And then you collapse onto the floor and rest against the wall while wiping a few beads of sweat off of your forehead
>Daylily too lies to rest on the floor and breathes heavily a few times to calm her breathing down
“Thanks”
>Daylily turns to look at you and tilts her head in slight confusion
“For kicking that timber wolf so it didn’t get in”
>Daylily turns her head away from you and to look at the barricade on the broken window
>”That’s a given, if it got in we’d both be in trouble”
>You’d like to imagine she’s looking away to hide some kind of a blush and feeling shy about letting you see it, but her tone of voice suggests otherwise
>Still it does not stop you from imagining it happening
“Now what? We wait for them to leave?”
>Daylily rolls over and lies in her back
>”No, we’re trapped, if they’ve been following me for this long there’s no way they’d give up, and they will eventually get in”
>You stare at the bat pony as she sighs and stares at the ceiling, seemingly in deep thought
“How about Hollow Shades? Shouldn’t the towns guard ponies be able to deal with this?”
>Daylily rolls over once again and gets up
>”Yeah, we need to get to Hollow Shades next, and I know how we can do it”
>You stare at the pony as she walks to you and then stops in front of you
>You stare back at her for a brief second
“Are you going to tell me how?”
>The pony blinks once
>”Are you going to get up?”
>This little...
>A loud thump followed by the sounds of wood giving out under the pressure makes both of you jump a little and turn your attentions to the door and find a dent in it
>You quickly get back onto your feet
“Yeah getting up sounds good”
>The pony nods and takes flight so she’s more at eye level with you
>”There’s a small window up in the attic, we’ll get out from there and sneak away while the wolves are busy trying to break in”
“Ok let’s do that and hurry, like right now”
>But as you say it she has already flown to the hatch and pulled it open, making the ladder slide down
>She flies into the attic and squeezes in and you follow close behind
“Ommph”
>”H-hey watch it!”
>Maybe a bit too close behind, you ram your face right into her butt
>You were not really paying attention to her but at the door that seems to be close to breaking down
>You take a few steps down on the ladder
“Sorry but I had bigger things to worry about than your ass”
>Daylily stops moving
>”...Are you saying my ass is bi-wah!”
>You push her inside the attic by her butt
“We’ll have this talk when we have the time for it!”
>You crawl into the attic as well and quickly pull the ladder up just as a timber wolf manages to ram its head in through the door and look around
>You turn around and find Daylily glaring at you and as she looks like she’s about to say something you sign for her to stay silent and then point downwards
>Her face returns back to looking serious and she nods, and then slowly sneaks towards the small window at the end of the attic space while you crawl behind her, her tail hitting you on the face every now and then
>But you’re not really complaining since you’re getting a pretty nice view, shame you can’t wholeheartedly enjoy it while feeling this tense about the whole surviving thing
>The attic is empty and dark except for the bright moonlight shining in through the window
>There’s cobwebs here and there and dust all over the floor, you haven’t used this storage space at all yet
>But as it is a pretty tight fit already by pony standards, you’re really struggling to move around in it comfortably
>Judging by the sounds going on the timber wolves have not yet gotten inside the house yet
>Daylily fiddles with the small window and pushes it open, and then flies out into the night
>You peek out from the window, how are you going to get out of it safely? It’s not that huge of a drop but not that small either, maybe climbing out carefu-
>Suddenly there’s a loud crash and the sound of furniture being flung all over
>Daylily turns around and hisses at you with urgency
>”Quickly they’re in!”
>And you decide to take a leap of faith and jump/roll out of the window and managing to land down and roll forward, back onto your feet from your landing position like you were Leon from Resident Evil 4
>Your amazement at your flawless jump is interrupted by Daylily flying past you and giving you a quick poke with her hoof as she peaks around the corner
>She then signals for you to follow her and you try to be as quiet as possible as you follow her
>As you go past your front porch and now busted door you quickly grab your backpack you left on it
>”Oh no!”
>The loud growl makes you look in the direction of Daylily who’s in front of you, heading towards the path to the woods
>But there stands a timber wolf in front of her
>Suddenly you can hear more growling from within the house and see a few timber wolves rushing do the doorway 
“Run!”
>You take off into the woods with Daylily flying behind you
>Damn it it’s so dark, you almost fell over!
>Daylily manages to fly past you now, making you pick up your pace as the sounds of the timber wolves after the two of you come louder and louder
>Daylily reaches a small clearing in front of the two of you but suddenly comes to a screeching halt, making you almost run into her
>And in front of the two of you is a larger, more mangy looking timber wolf than the rest
>”A dire timber wolf?!”
“I take it that’s bad?”
>The timber wolves that were after the two of you form a circle around the edges of the small clearing, blocking your way back
>Daylily lets out a growl of frustration while looking back and forth between the timber wolves as the dire one takes a step forward, snarling
>You really wish you were a smoker and had some lighter fluid on you right now, or a chainsaw
>How are the two of you going to get out of this?


>Daylily lands between you and the dire timber wolf ad starts staring it down
>”Back off for your own good.”
>The d-t-wolf growls loudly at Daylily who answers with a scree
>The other wolves now seem to pay more attention to the pony and the dire one as they slowly start to circle one another
>Daylily comes closer and closer to a large rock, and then stops
>You and the crowd of timber wolves keep looking to see what happens next
>One timber wolf suddenly pokes you with a bag of popcorn
>You stare at the bag and the wolf, and it signals you to pass it onwards, seems like you and the timber wolves have formed a circle of onlookers now
>You grab the bag of popcorn, grab some into your mouth and then pass it on to the next timber wolf who does not even glance in your way as it grabs it
>...should you run away or something?
>Daylily suddenly punches the rock with her hoof, instantly shattering it into a million pieces, making you choke and spit out some popcorn
>Wait hold up now how strong is this pony exactly?
>The dire timber wolf takes a step back and snarls while Daylily pushes her chest out proudly and stares the wolf down more intensely
>But then the dire timber wolf grabs a smaller rock between its jaws and tries to break it
>...and keeps trying to break it
>The crowd of timber wolves start to snarl and growl as the dire timber wolf fails to break the stone and spits it out
>Daylily seems awfully smug now as she stares at the wolf, which seems to seriously piss it off and it lets out a loud roar
>Daylily snorts in annoyance and quickly joins your side as the wolves almost instantly switch back to being aggressive and positioning themselves all around you and the pony, dropping the bag of popcorn to the ground and trampling all over it in the process
>Daylily turns her head to look at you
>”Negotiations have failed, on my mark run to the right”
“What ne-“
>All the wolves charge towards the two of you
>”NOW!”
“Fuck!”
>Just barely you manage to dodge the few wolves to your right as Daylily simply flies past them
>But then you feel a tug and whip your head around
>One of the wolves has grabbed a hold of your back pack and starts to shake its head from side to side, ripping it open and spilling most of the contents of it on the ground
>You manage to get away as the wolf is left with a large chunk of your back pack in its mouth and instantly skedaddle away like a black man running from the law
>But it seems that this has worked in your favor as the wolves trying to run after you two trip and fall down on the various cans and other items that spilled out of your back pack
>”Quick there’s a cave near us, we can hide there if we manage to put enough distance between us and them!”
>You look at the pony flying above you
“You think we can make it?”
>Daylily glances behind her
>”Yeah we can make it”
>You hope she’s right as you run to where she is leading you
>Soon enough the two of you arrive at a cave entrance and Daylily lands down on the ground before it
>She looks around and so do you, there’s no sign of the timber wolves anywhere
“You think we’re in the clear?”
>Daylily keeps looking around a bit more but then relaxes a little
>”I think we lost them, for now. We should camp out for the night in this cave and then-“
>Suddenly the dire timber wolf, followed by normal timber wolves jump out from the woods and rush towards you and the bat pony
>And you don’t plan on sticking around and run past Daylily and towards the cave
“Come on!”
>but then you quickly come to a stop, what if this cave is a dead end with no way out?
>You almost turn around but Daylily runs at you and head-butts you inside the cave before taking flight again
>”Now we’ve got to go fast!”
>But as she yells out to you she has her head turned backwards at you, meaning she’s not looking where she’s going and she flies head first into a huge stalactite on the ceiling
>”Ouch!”
>Daylily and you stare in horror as a crack forms on it and spreads around it
>And then it falls as Daylily quickly flies towards you, but then stops and looks horrified
>You glance behind yourself as the stalactite hits the ground and see the open maw of a timber wolf about to crush your head
>But then the floor gives out
“SHIIIIIITTT!”
>In panic you flail your arms around and try to grasp onto anything, and manage to grab onto something
>”WAIT LET GO!”
>And it turns out to be Daylily’s tail
>Both of you scream as you fall into the darkness accompanied by a bunch of timber wolves while pulling Daylily down with you
>And then everything goes dark as you hit your head
>...
>...ughh...what happened...the floor...right it gave out!
>Your eyes fly open and you come face to face with the visage of the dire timber wolf
“OH HELL!”
>Quickly you scamper away, only to be stopped by something behind you
>”Calm down”
>You turn your head and find daylily behind you with her hoof against your back, keeping you from putting any more distance between you and the dire timber wolf 
>”It’s dead”
>Daylily lets go and points at the creature with her hoof
>You stare at it and find it not moving, and now that you look at it properly it is buried under a pile of large stones among with a lot of other timber wolves
“You sure? I know that these things can come apart and put themselves back together or something”
>”I’m sure, it’s already been an hour”
>An hour? For you it just felt like you blacked out for a couple of seconds
>You look up and find that the hole you fell in from is quite a way up
“You stayed with me for the whole time instead of getting any help?”
>You look back at Daylily who turns around and shows you her wing
>it looks off
>”Could not have flown out even if I wanted to, I hurt my wing in the fall, can’t fly at all”
“Oh, that must be my fault for grabbing, you know, your tail and all”
>You play it off by letting out a nervous chuckle which Daylily ignores
>So she did not stay behind for you...that’s kind of disappointing, not that you should expect anything to happen with a pony you have just met but still...
“You do know where we are right?”
>Daylily sits down and shakes her head
>”No I have never seen this area”
>She then looks up at the hole in the ceiling from where some moonlight shines in
>”Even the official cave is not completely familiar to me, I know a bit about it but...” 
>Daylily lets out a sigh and you also turn your eyes towards the opening you two fell through, way up in the ceiling, far from the reaches of both of you
“From one thing into another...”
>You look around the area you and Daylily are in
>You can see ok, but deeper in the cave where the moonlight does not shine you can’t make out anything
>Guess that’s the bad thing about not being a nocturnal creature unless you have night vision goggles and a steady supply of some caffeinated beverage
>”Nowhere to go here, we need to go deeper into the cave”
>You really do not want to play cave explorer so you quickly look around for anythi-wait a moment, what’s that?
>You get up with your head complaining about it in the form of a slight headache and take a few steps closer to what seems to be a tunnel, blocked by a few large stones
“Could you break these rocks down? Since this tunnel is so near the exit it might lead out”
>Daylily shakes her head
>”I can’t shatter rocks Anonymous”
“Anon’s fine, and I know you can since I saw you do it”
>Daylily looks around and then points at a somewhat large stone near the pile of other stones and dead timber wolves
>”Anon give that rock a poke”
>You stare at the rock and then at the bat pony
“...why?”
>Daylily just nudges her pointing hoof at the rock again so you give it a little kick
>And to your surprise it instantly shatters into small rubble
“wat?”
>”Shatterstone, the most brittle stone you can find in Equestria. I’m not really strong enough to shatter a rock with my bare hoof”
>You turn around to face Daylily again while she mutters the word “yet” out under her breath
“So you fooled those wolves with one of those?”
>Daylily nods
>”U-huh, we were very lucky there was one in that clearing”
“Clever girl...”
>”Thank you. Let’s start hoofing”
>Probably she meant walking instead of fisting but yet the images enter your head for a brief moment
>But you don’t follow Daylily into the darkness and soon enough she walks back into the light
>”Something wrong?”
“Not really, just that I can’t see shit”
>Daylily tilts her head and her ears flick a few times in confusion before she suddenly seems to get it
>”You’re not nocturnal”
“Yeah, if there was some light I might see but that just looks as pitch black as it can be to me, can you really see in there?”
>Daylily nods
>”Yeah I can see. And sorry that you got mixed up in all of this, you must be feeling tired”
>And almost like a spell was cast on you, you suddenly become aware of the fact that you have been awake for a long time today and how you were really looking forward to going to sleep soon after you got home
>And all the walking you’ve done...and now the running...
>You shake your head and try to psyche yourself to being more alert and awake once again
“We’ll be fine if you go first, is there anything I could hold on to?”
>You start looking around again
“Any vines or something we could use?”
>There’s absolutely nothing
>Daylily then clears her throat
>”There’s something...”
>You glance over at Daylily and find her looking oddly uncomfortable
“Great, what is it?”
>Daylily turns around and lifts her tail up, don’t-just look up for now
>”You can hold onto my tail”
>You walk over to Daylily and grab a hold of the tip of her tail
>”But don’t pull on it...please...”
“Ok got it. Well then, lead the way my seeing eye pony”
>Daylily does a little roll with her eyes and then slowly begins to walk into the darkness and you follow behind her, making sure you get a good enough look at something as long as it is illuminated by the light
>And then you slowly walk while seeing pretty much nothing
>This is surprisingly easy, you were expecting to stu-
>And speak of the devil you stumble a little due to some loose rocks
>”C-careful!”
>Well that’s weird, her voice sounded a bit different as you accidentally pulled on her tail
>maybe...maybe it’s a kink or something to her? And she does not want you activating it
>You give her tail a few more gentle tugs
“Whoops sorry hard to walk in total darkness whoops oh dear so sorry whoops”
>Daylily lets out an uncomfortable whimper, it sounds sort of cute but you decide not to push it
“So Daylily huh, that’s a very weird name for a bat pony, shouldn’t it be Nightlily or something like that?”
>You can’t really see what kind of a reaction she has so you’re just left at the mercy of your hearing
>”I could say the same about you, Anonymous” 
“Touche”
>”Heh...”
>There’s a brief silence
>”It’s weird isn’t it?”
>You shrug
“Not really, it’s a pretty cute name”
>Daylily snorts, but it does not sound like it’s in annoyance, but does not say anything else in return
“Do you not like it?”
>More silence
>”I...have mixed feelings about it”
“It suits you. I think, I’m no sure what a Daylily is but I am guessing it’s a flower?”
>”Yes it’s a name of some flower...let’s just keep going, I think I can see some light up ahead”
>You look forward again, you’ve been staring downwards at the darkness and towards where you would imagine Daylily’s buttocks would be, and to your surprise you can see a faint glow in the distance
“Let’s check it out”
>Daylily picks up the pace and you manage to match it, somewhat, tugging her tail a few times as you run behind her while struggling to keep holding onto her tail
>Which is surprisingly soft now that you take notice of it, very...touchable
>Soon it’s bright enough for you to actually see something, but should you mention it to Daylily?
“It’s getting brighter, I think I can soon see enough to let go”
>”Ok, just let go and I’ll stop guiding you”
>You hang onto her tail a little bit longer while taking a closer look at this mare you’re with as you do so
>Not bad, you’d hit that
>But soon it’s so bright you have to let go or else she might catch on to what you’ve been up to
>Daylily moves from the front to the side and the two of you arrive into a-
“Wow...”
>”Amazing...”
>A large underground hall with a lake, a small waterfall, stalactites and stalagmites and peculiar bioluminescent flora in the form of lime green and yellow glowing moss and weird purple and blue flowers that look like they’d belong on the bottom of the ocean more than in here
>You follow Daylily deeper into the large area as the two of you look around in amazement
>Daylily stops at one of the smaller pools of water and looks at it curiously
“Did you find something?”
>Daylily signals for you to come over to her
>”Come look there are some kind of weird lizards here”
>She sounds more excited than normally so you decide to go and have a look instead of trying to see any exits
>And you find a few Olms chilling in the water
“Those are Olms, they’re water lizard things with no eyes that live in caves”
>”I’ve never seen anything like them”
>You stare at the Olms and they just kind of are there without really moving or doing anything at all
>You’re about to tell Daylily that you two should get going but as you see her face looking like a curious little filly’s you decide to just let her stare at the things instead
“I’m going to look around a bit more”
>Leaving Daylily with her slimy Olms you look around a little bit
>More moss there, flowers there, more Olms in the water with some weird shrimp like things but no exit
>These sounds of an occasional water drop hitting the pools or small lakes of water sound kind of calming as they echo throughout the cave
>There’s only one place you haven’t seen yet, seems like the hall is divided into two levels
>There’s some vines coming down from a ledge, maybe climb up from here?
>”Did you find something Anon?”
>Seems like Daylily has finished her business with the Olms, she has now joined you in looking at the vines
“Yeah, I think we could climb up from here”
>You let out a yawn, man this day has been so long, what time is it even? Judging by how tired you feel it must be past midnight
>”Do you want to take a break before climbing?”
>You look back at Daylily who’s looking at you now
“Yeah a break would be nice”
>And with that the two of you make your way to a good enough spot and sit/lie down


>You’re sitting with what’s left of your backpack next to you (you forgot you still had it on you) and with your back against a dry enough rock
>Daylily is sitting on the ground and handing you a mushroom she picked up just earlier
>”Here Anon, something to eat”
>You accept the mushroom and quickly glance at it, it looks like a poison mushroom no matter how you look at it
“Are you sure it’s safe to eat these?”
>Daylily takes a bite out of hers and chews it down
>”Yeah, I ate these all the time when on the mountains, they’re pretty nutritious and have lots of protein too”
>Protein...do mushrooms work like that? Quite honestly you don’t know
>You take a small bite out of yours and-yeah that tastes like you’d imagine dirt tastes like, you don’t want to eat this
>Suddenly you notice something else as you watch Daylily eat her mushroom and turn it around as she takes bites out of it
>It’s got a face. A freaking face. And it’s staring at you in horror, mouth fixed in a silent scream of terror
>You look back at your mushroom and turn it around
>And now the mushroom is looking back at you almost like it was silently pleading for it’s life
>”Are you going to eat that?”
>You look back at Daylily who’s staring at your mushroom now
>She licks her lips once and you decide to hand her the mushroom back, you are not going to eat that
“Help yourself”
>Daylily takes the mushroom from you as it stares at you like you betrayed it, and keeps staring at you while Daylily bites chunks off of it until it is no more
>And now you’re left with hunger, you were hungry and swallowing even that tiny bit of mushroom you now regret has reminded your stomach just how empty it is
>And a small sense of guilt for the loss of the brave mushroom’s life
>Wait a second your backpack, there might be something left in it!
>You quickly search through the remnants of your backpack and discover 2 cans of pears in juice
>Pulling out your trusty Swiss army knife from your pocket and open up a can and down the sweet glorious juice inside it before fishing out a pear halve with the knife and taking a big bite out of it
>And pear has not tastes this good since...ever!
>Oh, looks like you’ve attracted some attention to yourself, Daylily looks away now that you caught her staring at your pear
>But she seems to be struggling to not glance at it again, her eyes involuntarily twitching towards you and the pear as a frustrated blush starts to form on her face
>You finish eating the pear half and Daylily’s ears flop down
>That is until you fish out the other half, her ears spring right back up and now she definitely glanced your way again
>Only to lock eyes with you briefly and look away again, but this time she turns her whole body to face the other direction as well before sitting back down, her tail swishing about every now and then
“Do you want this pear?”
>*swish swish*
>Daylily turns her head around and tries to regain her composure while looking at you, albeit not very well
>”No, I...already ate those mushrooms...so you should eat it...”
“Are you suuuure?”
>Daylily gulps and then forces the stern look back onto her face and looks away again
>Though the slight pink that you saw left on her cheeks does not go very well with the look
>”Yes, you’ll need to have strength as well if we’re going to get out of this without any problems”
>Another tail swish and an ear twitch
>You shrug and eat the other and last piece of pear in the can
>Daylily’s ears flop down again as she glances at you and finds the pear halve now gone
>Seems like she did not notice you had two cans, so with a grin you pull the other one out while she’s still looking at you
“Good thing I brought extra!”
>She does the hardest she can to not let her excitement show on her face while turning around to face you again as you hand her the can
>But she can’t contain herself once she stares at the can now in her hooves and cracks a little smile
>”Eeeeeeeee~”
>Then she suddenly notices what she’s doing and coughs, blushes and then quickly fixes up her mane a bit with her wing to play it off
>You clean the blade of your Swiss army knife on your pants and fold it back in and the can opener back out
“Here you can open it with-“
>She brings the can to her mouth and pokes a hole on the lid with her fang
>You just stare in confusion as she pokes her wing-claw in through the hole and then uses it like a can opener and opens up the can all by herself
>Wait how strong is this mare exactly again?
>Daylily slurps up the pear juice with her ears flicking about happily before switching from a sitting position to a more lying on the ground-position, and then while holding the can in her hooves she uses her wing-claw like you used your knife blade and starts eating
>...more like wolfing down, she absolutely goes to town on the pear halves, one after another before there’s nothing left
>And then she...slowly licks the juice off of the claw on her wing, enjoying and savoring the taste of fruit she must not have tasted in a while, if her moaning is any sort of an indicator
>But you have to admit, looking at a bat pony mare moaning while licking her claw is not that bad, in fact you need to change the position of your crossed legs a little, just in case
“Was it really that good?”
>Daylily pauses while licking her wing and quickly folds it away while her blush seems to be returning
>”Haven’t eaten anything else than those mushrooms in a long while, sorry that you had to see something like that”
>You keep smiling at Daylily which seems to be making it harder for her to ignore her blush and keep a straight face
“It’s fine, actually it’s more fun to see you enjoy them so much”
>And she now has turned her head away from you so you can’t see her face anymore
>With nothing else to do you ease back and rest against the rock-no wait, you empty out the few items that are left in your backpack leftovers and then use it as a pillow behind your back
>There, much comfier, but now what? Get up and continue? You don’t feel like it yet, got to let the food to digest a little
>And on that bombshell you decide to strike up a conversation with the mare since you want to ask her things and hopefully get to know her better
“You said you were training in the mountains for a while?”
>Daylily does not turn her head around as she answers you
>”Yes, long enough for my landlord to think I wasn’t coming back it seems”
“So why did you want to get stronger anyway?”
>This time around she looks at you again, her expression a bit sad
>”I failed”
>Her ears droop down and she hangs her head a little
>And it only makes you more curious
“At what?”
>Daylily shifts a little so she’s in a more relaxed position while mostly lying on her side and resting her head on one of her hooves
>”I wanted to become a guard pony at Hollow Shades but I failed the test”
>You’re a bit surprised to hear that
“So you decided to train and get stronger so you could try again?”
>”At first yes...I didn’t decide to try again right away, at first I decided to travel around a little bit to...I don’t know, just wanted to get away for a bit...out of Hollow Shades”
“Were you too embarrassed to stay there?”
>Daylily seems to ponder about it for a moment
>”I guess”
“Worried your friends might have given you a hard time?”
>”I didn’t really have any friends, I was so focused on becoming a guard pony that I put all my focus on that so...it was easy to leave and travel around”
>Daylily shifts around again and now she’s fully lying on her side, head against the ground and everything
>”And after traveling around a little I decided to do it no matter what and get stronger so I went up into the mountains to train for some time”
>*tail swish*
>She looks kinda cute lying on the ground like that 
“So you were thinking of trying again soon before you got caught up in all of this?”
>Daylily stares at you for a little while before answering you
>”Yeah...”
“I’m sensing a but”
>Her eyes briefly twitch in the direction of her posterior but she seems to then catch on to what you meant before actually glancing at her behind
>”While I was training I started to think about it and now I am no longer sure if I want to be one...it’s been my dream since I was a little filly and I even fantasized of being a part of the royal night guard”
>Daylily lets out a sigh
>”So I took a detour when coming back home and traveled around a bit more while thinking if I wanted to try again or not, and that’s probably when those timber wolves started to follow me”
>Suddenly Daylily sits back up and gives her head a little shake, getting rid of the dirt in her mane
>”Sorry, I’ve just been talking about myself and some dumb problems, tell me more about you”
>Daylily brushes some dirt off of her wings while looking at you
“Me? I’m nobody interesting”
>”I told you about myself, you should return the favor?”
>True, but there’s not much to tell unless you want to spend a long time explaining a lot of human world things and terms, and you’re a bit too tired for that
>In fact you really have to struggle to keep your dry eyes open instead of closing them and just going to sleep while sitting against this rock
“After coming to Equestria I learned a few things about this place and then decided to rent a house near Hollow Shades and start my life in there in the presence of the bat ponies, but the house turned out to be a bit farther from Hollow Shades than I imagined”
>”Yeah, tell me about it...”
“And so far I have been trying to figure out what to do with myself in here”
>You let out a yawn and stretch your arms while closing your eyes
“And then...”
>You’re not really sure what to say, you haven’t really done that much worth mentioning, maybe tell her about the trip to Manehattan? Why is it so hard to open your eyes back up...maybe keeping them closed won’t...hurt...
>You end up dozing off right away

-------------

I would never suggest patting Daylily's head and licking her bap pony body all over, nibbling her neck and kissing her adorable hooves. Only a heartless monster would think about her cute girlish mouth and tongue wrapped around a thick cock slick with her saliva, pumping in and out of her mouth until it erupts, the cum more than her throat can swallow.

The idea of thick viscous semen overflowing, dribbling down her chin and onto the tuft on her chest, her hooves scooping it all up and watching her lick it off is just horrible. You're all a bunch of upstanding citizens, thinking of spreading her smooth slender thighs, cock poised at the entrance to her pure, tight, virginal ponut, and sliding in slowly as a whimper escapes her lips which are slippery with cum, while her warm body shudders from having her butt-cherry taken in one sensual penetration.

I am baffled at how you'd get even more excited as you lean over her, listening to her quickening breath, her girlish moans and gasps while you hasten your strokes, her wings flared open and trembling and her chest, shiny with a sheen of fresh sweat, rising and falling rapidly as she pants huskily.

It is truly nice how you'd run your hands all over her small pony body while you explore her cave while she trembles from the stimulation and as she reaches her climax, hearing her cry out softly as she has her first anal orgasm while that cock is buried impossibly deep inside her rectum, pulsing violently as an intense amount of hot cum explodes from your private private and floods the insides of her ass, filling her only to spill out of her with a moist pop as you pul out from her grasping pony butthole. And as she lies on the bed with her body flushed, she murmurs breathlessly, "Anon that was amazing~"

You're all gentlemen of refined taste. Daylily's not too pure for anyone to imagine her in such a terrible situation for the sanctity of her anus, and anyone who does is doing a very good job.

-------------------

>T...take...take that cock! Huh wait what...oh right, cave...means that it was actually a dream you saw just now
>A dream about Daylily coming onto you and outright demanding for you to have rough butt fun with her
>Perfect, meet a mare and already you’re dreaming about violating the sanctity of her anus
>”You ready to move on now?”
>You rub your eyes and look in the direction of Daylily’s voice, finding her returning from one of the pools of water with her face wet, either she splashed some water on her face to refresh herself or she tried to get to know those Olms a bit better
>You’re really not ready, you feel sweaty, groggy and awful just like the days after staying up all night and playing vidya
>You have no idea how long you were out and Daylily seems very eager to move forward so you lie
“Yeah I’m feeling refreshed enough, let’s see about climbing up those vines”
>Forcing yourself to get up you make your way to the vines and inspect them
>Yeah you think you can get up from here, if they hold your weight
>Question is, how will Daylily get up?
“Can you climb?”
>Daylily shakes her head
>”I was thinking you could tie some vines together once you are on the top and then throw them down so I can tie them around myself, and then you could pull me up”
>That could work, but isn’t that a bit to complicated?
“How about you just hang onto me while I climb? It’s much simpler and takes less time”
>”Yeah it would...are you sure you can do it?”
>You suddenly grab the pony and lift her up
“I’m pretty positive, I mean you don’t weight much anything, look”
>You lift Daylily up and down a few times to drive your point
>But then when you stop moving her around you find her cheeks a bit blushed and her mouth in a scrunch so you stop moving her around
“So just grab a hold of me and let’s go”
>Daylily repositions herself so she’s hanging onto your shoulders while resting her front against your back and then you grab onto the biggest vine and start climbing
>It’s pretty easy, but halfway up the vine gives away a little and makes you drop down a few inches
>Daylily lets out a spooked scree and you have to admit your heart skips a beat as well, but the rest of the climb goes without a problem
>At the top you help Daylily down and the two of you look around
>Pretty much the same as the lower level, except there’s a single cave at the back
“Not a whole lot of options, but hopefully it’ll lead out”
>”Yeah, let’s get going”
>Daylily takes the lead again and trots before you as you follow her
>You eye your pony companion once again, but then notice something new
>She’s limping a little
“Did you hurt your hoof in the fall as well?”
>Daylily pauses and looks back at you with mild surprise on her face
>”No, I actually hurt it when I kicked the timber wolf from the window, I’m surprised you could tell”
“All the way from back then? I haven’t noticed you limping at all before this, has it been getting worse?
>Daylily gives her hoof a little shake and cringes
>”A little bit, but I can tough it out”
>she starts walking again
“I could carry you”
>She stop walking again and does not turn her head around
>”...No, that won’t be necessary, let’s keep going”
>And once again she starts moving and this time around you follow her and keep staring at her
>She’s walking a bit slower now and lets out a small, almost inaudible sound every now and then as her hoof hits the ground or she mildly slips on some loose ground
>Yeah screw this you’re carrying her
>You sweep her up into your arms and she goes tense right away, staring at you with wide eyes
>”Anon?”
“I’m carrying you, I owe it to you fro saving my ass”
>”...o-ok”
>Daylily pulls her hooves close to her body and nervously lets you carry her without resisting
“Why did you help me anyway? You could have ran away from the timber wolves much more easier if you just left me behind”
>You glance down at the bat pony in your arms who’s appearing a bit coy all of the sudden
>”I couldn’t have done that, it would not have been right”
>Daylily smiles sheepishly at you
>”And I owed you for kicking you and tying you up”
>Daylily clears her throat and relaxes her body before shifting the stern look back onto her face 
>”But if I would not have I would not be stuck here”
“But then you would not have made a new friend”
>The stern look breaks off of her face and gets replaced with surprise
“Unless you don’t want to-“
>Daylily quickly puts her hoof on your mouth to silence you, but then pulls it off as quickly as she placed it
>”It would be nice”
>She gives you a smile and you smile back, and the two of you smile at each other for a little while
>But then it suddenly feels awkward and the two of you start avoiding each other’s eyes until Daylily speaks again
>”You can put me down now, I think I’ll just bear through it”
>You’re about to say something but she keeps talking
>”I want to try bearing it all by myself, if it won’t kill me it’ll only make me stronger. It’s a habit I got into when I was in the mountains”
“Ok then”
>You put Daylily down and the two of you continue onward, with Daylily now holding her head high as if she was full of determination
>And you’re following her again, it feels similar to back how it was when the two of you were dealing with the timber wolves, she was the one in the role of the leader
>Though now she does not appear as stern as she did at first since you’ve gotten to know her a little bit better
>There’s no longer almost any sign of the bioluminescent fauna from the underground hall on the walls of this cave, minus a little moss here and there, and you can see the point of no light approaching in the distance 
>”Here Anon”
>She lifts her tail up for you to grab, giving you quite a view from behind her as you grab a hold of the tip once again and follow her into the darkness
>You can hear her let out a yawn
>”It’s probably close to morning now”
>You and Daylily round up a corner and then you see something very welcome
>light in the distance
>”Let’s pick up the pace Anon”
“Roger, lead the way mam”
>It doesn’t take long for the two of you to reach an exit and be greeted by-
“Sunlight?”
>”Aagh, sunlight...”
>Daylily squints her eyes while you look at the sky
>It feels like it’s the morning at most and the sun must have just gotten way up, how long did you two spend in that cave?
“Wow, I must have slept for a long time”
>Daylily walks into your shadow and uses you to block the sunshine
>”I’m not exactly sure, you seemed a bit tired so I allowed you to get some rest while studying those Olms, and I lost track of time myself while at it”
>You suddenly give Daylily a smile which makes her raise an eyebrow at you
>”What?”
“We did it! We got out!”
>You lift your hand up so Daylily can high five you
>But instead Daylily stares at your hand for a brief moment before placing her hoof against it
>”Yeah we did”
>And then you two stare at each other for some time before Daylily pulls her hoof away and looks at it and then at your hand, still appearing a bit confused
>”Let’s look around and see where we are and how far Hollow Shades is”
>Suddenly there’s a loud roar and the sound of twigs and branches breaking as something comes out from the woods and towards the two of you
“You’ve got to be kidding me...”
>”Oh no, that must be the pack leader...”
>A large towering timber wolf king forces its way through the woods with its glowing eyes fixed on you and the pony behind you
>”It’s probably here for revenge for getting its pack killed Anon, we need to run away”
>Daylily takes a step but suddenly slips and winces as her hoof slips
>”My hoof!”
>The beast instantly glares and starts running towards the two of you at high speed
“You need to get up!”
>Daylily gets up and tries to put some weight on her hoof, but instantly lifts it off the ground and winces
>You quickly pull out your Swiss army knife and throw it at the beast after you open up the knife blade
“Taste the sting of my mighty ex-“
>It hits the timber wolf’s face handle first and bounces off without doing anything
“Or don’t that’s cool giddy up Daylily!”
>You quickly grab the pony and start running with her slung over your shoulder while the timber wolf king rushes in hot pursuit
>Thankfully the woods near the cave exit is pretty dense and the timber wolf has trouble keeping up as it has to smash through the woods
>Good thing too or else it would have gobbled you two up already
>”It’s starting to gain on us Anon!”
>You hop over a branch and keep Daylily from falling off by steadying her by her butt
>Daylily lets out an “eep” at the sudden butt touch but you keep touching the butt because otherwise she’d fall off your shoulder
“Any idea where we are and where I should head!?”
>You’re running on fumes here, a can of pears is not the perfect fuel for escaping bloodthirsty Equestrian beasts of massive wood, you can’t do it for a very long time
>Honestly speaking your legs are aching and screaming at you to stop already
>”I don’t know! I can’t recognize this area at all!”
>You glance at the plot device next to your head
>But...you have to admit that this butt is rather pleasant to the touch now that you have gotten to put your hand-
>And suddenly you’re falling
>Did you really just run off a cliff because you were paying no attention to where you were going and instead at some pony booty
>And while being chased by a bloodthirsty angry beast? That’s just...you’ll just blame it on not getting enough sleep 
>”SCREEEEEE!”
“AAAAAAA!”
>Suddenly Daylily grabs onto you with all three of her functional hooves and starts to flap both of her wings with a pained expression on her face
>She does not fly, but the speed at which you and her are falling slows down considerably before you safely touch down on the ground
>Daylily on the other hand falls straight to the ground after she stops flapping her wings and trembles there while biting her teeth’s together like she was in immense pain
“Are you ok?”
>Daylily keeps her eyes shut and lies there
>”It hurts so bad I think I can’t move”
>You pet her head
“You did great, we’re saved thanks to that”
>Daylily finally opens her eyes and looks at you while giving you a pained smile
>”You better appreciate it you blind human”
>You look back up at the ledge where the timber wolf is
“I think we even managed to buy some time with this accident”
>But suddenly the timber wolf king jumps down the ledge and hits the ground with the lower half of its body splitting into the singular pieces of timber that it is made of
“No fucking way...”
>The now half of a timber wolf starts to drag its body along the ground towards you as the pieces that came off during the impact with the ground start to magically return to it and slowly reform the lower half of its body
>You quickly pick Daylily up, into a more bride-like carrying position while trying to be as cautious of her hurt wing as possible in a situation like this, and bolt off with the muscles in your legs and arms burning towards the open areas on the left instead of running back into the dense woods on the right
>Better to run where you can properly do so now that you are carrying the injured pony
>”Anon there!”
>Daylily points at a small hill where a large boulder sits looking like it could roll down any minute
>”Let me limp forward and you get that rock down once the wolf is in place!”
“But you’re hurt-“
>”No buts, we’re going to do this!”
>You let Daylily down and she starts limping while you take off to the rock
>The timber wolf king pays no attention to you and goes after the limping pony while dragging itself along the ground with its massive wooden claws
>You get to the position by the rock and Daylily turns around and waits for the beast to get into position
>The last few pieces of its body fly to it and the beast is now fully formed and bears its teeth’s in a gleeful smile before slowly walking to Daylily, sure of its victory
>”Anon now!”
>You start pushing the rock with all your might but it does not budge
>How can you do it, there’s no time to get a stick and use any leverage to get it to roll down...use your brain!
>Yes, video game knowledge!
>You start to punch the rock while pushing it like a certain video game character
>”Anon!”
>You can hear the beast let out a growl and instead of holding back to not get your hand hurt you start pounding at the rock with all your might in an adrenaline fueled rush
>And miraculously the rock tilts over and rolls down the hill and slams into the body of the beast and not a moment too soon
>You quickly look at your trembling fist and find it bleeding with skin rolled off of your knuckles and a pounding pain in your wrist
>You try to open up your fist but find that you really can’t extend your fingers all the way
>Time to run back to Daylily who’s eyeing what’s left of the timber wolf, a head missing the lower jaw and most of it’s upper body minus any limbs and the left shoulder
>It turns its dagger glaring glowing eyes at you as you rush to Daylily who seems to be savoring the moment while staring at the dismembered timber wolf king
“Should we escape or finish it off somehow?”
>Suddenly its eyes start to shine brighter and there’s a glow escaping from deep within it past all the various pieces of wood its body composes of
>It lets out an earsplitting roar and suddenly the pieces of it levitate into the air and rapidly fly back to it, building its body back together in mere seconds
>This thing better not have played some college ball
>And now the fully formed and whole timber wolf king stands before the two of you and raises its claw
>”Look out!”
>It swipes at you but Daylily manages to jump at you and push you over onto the ground and its claw barely misses the two of you
>You quickly sit up while holding the pony but to your shock its claw is already coming at you
>But by sheer dumb luck it hits the ground before you and ends up flinging you and Daylily into the air with some dirt
>And suddenly it hits you and Daylily again, this time punching both of you and sending you flying backwards
>If it did play ball it wasn’t at any cushy Ivy League school
>The impact makes you loose your hold on Daylily and the two of you fly backwards separately
>You hit the ground painfully and roll over a few times before quickly getting back up and looking around to see where your friend flew
>Luckily you two were flung back in the dense woods so the timber wolf king is having trouble smashing through all the plants so it can get to the two of you
“Daylily! Where are you!?”
>You look around and suddenly spot a familiar colored thing lying on the ground before a tree trunk
“Daylily?”
>You quickly make your way to the pony while ignoring your now hurting shoulder and find her unconscious on the ground and bleeding from her head, but thankfully still breathing
>But you don’t have any time to see to her injuries since the timber wolf has gotten pretty close already so you pick her up and start limping away
>With carrying her and being hurt from getting bitch-slapped by the wolf you are wheezing like you had asthma as you try to keep away from the beast
>Thank to whoever deity that’s got your back for how dense this forest is because it’s the only reason why the timber wolf has not gotten to you yet
>But you’re panicked because you’re all out of ideas
>You have no idea where you are and what to do, not to mention slowly but surely it’s getting closer to you with each look behind that you take
>But then you pick up some sounds coming from somewhere close, they sound like...can it really be?
>If it is what you think it is you’re one lucky bastard
>You change course towards the sounds and with each step they become louder and fill you with hope
>And soon enough you exit the woods and into an open area with a some ponies and gear next to cut down trees
>A tree cutting area, filled with saws, axes and the like
>A few earth ponies raise an eyebrow at you and start to come closer to you as you limp towards them
“Back up there’s a timber wolf after me!”
>And almost as if called the timber wolf jumps out from the woods towards you with its jaw gaping wide
>You hit the deck and accidentally drop Daylily as you dodge the bite
>Luckily the ground is mostly full of loose gravel so instead of coming to a halt near you the timber wolf slides forward and into the middle of the cutting area
>”Are you two alright?”
>One of the forest working earth pony lumberjacks has rushed to the two of you
>”Oh my she’s hurt. Fudge Packer and Fairy Bear, help me carry her”
>Two build earth ponies come to Daylily and pick her up while the first one turns his attention to you
>”Do you need any help kind green troll?”
>You’re not that ugly are you?
“No just tend to Daylily please!”
>”INCOMING!”
>The yell of one of the earth ponies alerts you of the timber wolf who tries to rush to you but gets hit with an axe to the head which draws its attention to one of the many earth ponies now running around in a circle around the timber wolf and keeping it distracted
>The earth pony who called the two over wipes some sweat off of his brow
>”Phew. Thank you Flaming Fruit, you saved our sweet plots”
>The one who threw the axe runs to another axe stuck in a tree
>”No problem Oklahomo”
>Wait is this pony’s name seriously-
>”Do you have any idea how to slay this foul beast green? I’m afraid we can only distract it for so long”
>Shouldn’t you...no, you honestly don’t think running away is an option anymore, you’ve seen how determined this massive wood is, it must be dealt with
“I haven’t got the slightest clue...Oklahomo?”
>Oklahomo nods
>”That’s my name, don’t wear it out”
>You could have sworn he mouthed the word sugarcube at you at the end of that sentence
>But what to do, you look around and notice that they’re starting to run out of things to throw at the wolf
>Suddenly one of the earth ponies gets flung at a tree
>”Gym Queen!”
>Oklahomo rushes to his fallen comrade while you look around
>Wait, oil lamps! And what you need to fuel it...there, canisters!
“Throw the burning oil at it!”
>but as you pay attention to the wolf and the ponies you find that Oklahomo is currently helping Gym Queen and another pony to evacuate the area while only two ponies are left keeping the timber wolf king busy, and just barely
“You two! What are your names!? I have a plan!”
>The two earth ponies both look at you
>”Ring Raider!”
>”Pansy Poof!”
“Ok Ring Raider, you go to that canister of burning oil near that pile of fallen trees and throw it at the wolf! Pansy Poof, you take the one on the right hand side and do the same! I’ll go to that canister over there! Try to get the oil onto it one way or the other!”
>Both ponies nod and take off in opposite directions, making the wolf pause before choosing to go after Pansy Poof
>You limp to your cans and try to get the canister to open, but with yoru hurt shoulder and arm it’s proving to be quite difficult
>Not to mention there’s the question of how to-
>Suddenly there’s the sound of glass breaking that draws your attention
>Ring Raider seems to have filled one of the unused oil lamps full of the oil and flung it at the timber wolf
>Not a bad idea, Pansy Poof also seems to think that way since he too starts to fill one of the oil lamps full of oil
>You have to love cartoon logic as the oil stays in the lamp instead of leaking out, unless these are some seriously watertight oil lamps for heavy duty
>Would not surprise you
>Pansy Poof has now flung his oil at the wolf as well and it lets out a loud growl while trying to wipe the oil out from its eyes
>You finally manage to open up the canister and pour it into the lamp before throwing it at the beasts backside
>Ring Raider took this chance to run towards Pansy Poof and the two of them are running towards the area where the others ran away to and the beast gives chase, completely ignoring you
“Hey assbutt!”
>You grab a nearby lamp which has a fire burning in it as the wolf stops and turns around to face you
>Just in time for the lamp to hit it on the nose and shatter
>And the wolf suddenly explodes into flames
>but it does not go down, instead it stands there while in bright flames and stares at you with burning rage
>It starts to slowly stomp towards you while making all kinds of sounds as flaming pieces of wood keep falling off of it like it is disintegrating
>And suddenly it lets out a desperate roar as the flames proof to be much more intense than it thought and it falls to the ground as almost all of the woods that make up its legs have become so scarce in timber that they can’t even properly move around
>but with one final act of desperation it flings a large cut down tree at you that was lying on the ground near it, sending its flaming paw flying away with it as it could no longer stay attached to the beast
>Time seems to move slow mo as you start to move away and the tree closes in on you at an alarming speed
>And then it hits you as the beasts still somewhat intact face grins as the last of the timber wolf king becomes nothing but lifeless burning pieces of scrap wood on the ground
>you can’t dodge it in time
>And then everything goes black

---------
>Nervously you twitch your ears and listen while looking at the hallway of the hospital
>No sign of anypony around, it is the night after all
>Which you are thankful for when a wet sound echoes in the hallway as your nether region winks
>You quickly slip back into you hospital room
>You are a bat pony mare by the name Daylily an you are currently in a hospital in Manehattan while waiting for your human friend to regain consciousness
>And being a nocturnal creature you soon found that it was pretty boring around here during the nights, especially since you were stuck in one of the hospital floors with very few other occupants in it
>But that also gave you the chance to think about a certain thing, and after thinking about it for a while with nothing else to do you have given in to the desire to do so, especially how you have not had the change to properly indulge in it during your stay at the mountains
>Have it not been for the timber wolves and Anon you would have already gotten to put out that certain fire in your home but having denied the chance to do so has only made it burn brighter
>So after making sure you were alone enough to pull it off you prepared yourself for it in the bathroom with the proper steps to keep it clean
>Which is why there are a variety of objects on one of the empty hospital beds in your room
>A stolen cucumber, few billiard balls and some simple moisturizing baby oil for your wing that you requested, “To help you moisturize your wing because it dries up easy”
>Which was just a lie since you wanted something to use as a lubricant for your little session
>Your hooves feel shaky as you climb onto the bed as your ponut begs for action and your natural juices run down your inner thighs
>It was already hard enough to walk normally with the borrowed objects as your heart was beating fast and your steps shaky while all you could think of was sliding them deep inside your anal cavity, and growing wetter and wetter by the second
>You settle down to lie on the bed with your ass held up in the air and your hooves spread wide as you lift your tail out of the way and squeeze some oil onto your hoof and gently massage it on your perky pony butthole in a circular motion
>It feels nice and warmth starts to spread from your ass to all of your body as you massage your ponut and slightly prod it with the tip of your hoof to work the lube in for the first thing you will insert into it
>You stop massaging and start to roll one of the small billiard balls in the oil while waving your butt from side to side and pushing it out to make sure that your lewd bits are lewdly presented on display to no-one in particular
>It just feels naughty and makes you get into the lewd mood better
>With a shaky hoof you push the ball against your ponut and gently push the ball against it, spreading your ponut open wider and wider with each push as it almost slips in
>And then your ass suddenly swallows it up, making you tense up a little as you get accustomed to the sensation of having something inside your ass
>You gently push it out so that it peaks out from within your ass, but not enough to actually push it out all the way, and keep working it with your muscles so your ponut opens up and closes around the ball
>You let out a soft moan as you push it out all the way and it wetly pops out and falls to the bed
>It feels so intense~
>You quickly grab it and press it against your ponut once again and force it in, enjoying the feeling of your ponut being stretched open to accept the ball
>You press your hoof against your anus before pushing the ball out again and then instantly slip it back it
>You work it in and out of your ass as your other organ starts to wink and drip more lewd liquids
>You push the ball out and to your enjoyment find that your pony butthole is now gaping a little, making the insertion much more easier
>So you oil up a few more balls and slip all three in one after the other
>As the last one slips in and it feels like they are stretching your ass up your horsepussy lets out a loud wink while shooting some of your marejuice onto the bed, taking you by surprise and making you accidentally push out all three balls and the shoot out onto the floor
>You quickly sit up and listen carefully if the loud sounds has attracted any attention, but as you’re just met with silence you relax again
>You roll around and settle onto your back and massage your pussy with your hoof as your ass twitches almost like it was begging for more while grabbing the baby oil with the other hoof
>Leaving your marehood alone to wink you work the oil onto the cucumber until it is all nice and slippery
>And then you position it against your ass and push the tip in
>Your ass offers a little bit of resistance so you use more force and suddenly the cucumber slips inside some ways
>You let out a gasp and arch your back at the sudden, almost painful sensation
>You stay there with your body tensed up and your heart beating as your ass gets accustomed to the feeling of having the cucumber inside of it, and then you start to relax again
>T-this cucumber is larger than you expected...but that in its own self is kind of...nice~
>Slowly you pull on the cucumber and slide it out all the way on accident
>You reposition it again and press it against your ass but your ponut offers some resistance again no matter how you try to relax
>But once again the cucumber slips in without any mercy, making you gasp and jolt as your ass struggles to push it out
>But then it relaxes again and allows for it to sit inside of you
>Slowly you start to move it back and forth with minimal movement, sliding it against the inner linings of your ass
>Now your whole ass and body starts to really relax and accept it as you manage to slide it in deeper and deeper, feeling better and better with each thrust
>And soon enough you’re hitting it in deep
>With a rosy blush on your face you stare at the slight bulge in your abdomen, appearing and disappearing as you move the cucumber in and out, with arousal
>Your marehood is also winking and feeling good from the action that is going on in your ass
>You’re a real butt slut, getting off from anal stimulation alone like this
>You start to move your hips around and working your ass on the cucumber like it was the member of someone you had amorous feelings for
>You fantasize about feeling the loins of someone slamming against your ass as he’d ravage your ass for his own pleasure without mercy
>You start to get more rough with the cucumber while breathing heavily and trying to not make much sounds, although the air is already full of lewd wet sounds of you winking wildly and fucking your ass with the cucumber
>You feel your orgasm build up and you’re very close to release so you pick up the pace as your whole body starts to tremble before you suddenly orgasm on the cucumber, your ass pushing and milking on it while your winks become so strong you squirt out some of your own juices 
>As you relax again you slowly pull out the cucumber from your now open ass and let some oil pour out as your ass opens and closes
>It’s been too long since you got to do this, back in the mountains you didn’t really have anything to properly do it with so you’ve have left your ass alone for quite some time 
>All of those instances when you ended up remembering how you used to analbate some amounts before setting out on your journey and thinking about it made you hungry for ass action, but no chance to do so
>And on that note you want more, your ass has been left unused in this way for too long
>You re-lube the cucumber before sitting back up and getting back to the face down ass up position and sliding it back in
>your ass offers close to no resistance this time and hungrily swallows it up while you enjoy the fulfilling sensation deep inside of you
>Letting the cucumber sit there inserted as deep as it goes you get to rubbing your marehood now while more juices run down your inner thighs and you push and relax upon the cucumber inside of you
>Push and suck in, push and suck in, keep rubbing that sweet spot, push harder and then suck in with more strength, feel the cucumber being moved in and out of you with only your bowel muscles
>In and out, in and out in and out in and outttt~
>You push the cucumber out all the way while squirting a little bit before relaxing once again, your ass letting out a wet popping sound as it gapes open
>You spread your cheeks and clench and unclench your ass to make it wink
>But it feels so empty and lonely like this~
>You want to ride that cucumber, ride it roughly like your life depended on it
>You want someone to abuse your ass for their own pleasure and use it like a cock sleeve
>You position yourself and hold the vegetable still as you slide down on it
>So good~
>In the heat of the moment you grab a few billiard balls and pop them inside your marehood
>Oh Luna you’re so filled up~
>You rest back and push out the balls and let them drop lewdly before you with the cucumber struggling to slip out as you do but being held in place by your own weight
>And then you start working your ass on the cucumber once again, this time openly panting and gasping while having forgotten about keeping quiet
>Normally you’d think this kind of behavior is indecent and disgraceful but when you get into the mood you just love those things about it, how humiliating it is and what a bitch in heat you are when this horny and do this kind of deviant butt things
>You yelp as you slam down a bit too hard and have to take a second
>And you start to feel like spicing this up with some imagination...
>But whose member are you bouncing on? You don’t really know any stallions you could fantasize about...
>Suddenly your thoughts turn to Anonymous, the human
>He’s definitely a male and...He must have quite a large member when you think about his size
>A large thing that spreads you open kind of like this cucumber...
>And those hands that must grab onto you ruthlessly and force you down so your ass services his cock
>You start to ride the cucumber again while thinking about Anon being there on the bed beneath you
>Moving his hips to satisfy your anal hunger, grabbing onto you with those hands of his, looking at your drenched and throbbing, winking and swollen marehood and how it shows how much you love it in your ass
>It feels like your insides have turned into a milking machine that is trying its hardest to get that seed deep inside your ass as you lean backwards and enjoy the tip of the cucumber hitting that special place while it makes a slight bulge in your abdomen
>The whole bed is squeaking beneath you as you breathe heavy and a pressure starts to build up inside your body, intense enough to be borderline painful
>That’s it Anon! Look at my marehood! Look how indecent I am! Can you feel how my ass is milking you?
>Your thoughts get hazy and you start to loose awareness of yourself as you close in on the orgasm that’s building up inside of you
>Almost there! Almost there keep ramming it in! Ram that ass Anon! Use that lewd ass! Make it jiggle, uuussseee-
>You suddenly loose control of your body and inhale sharply with your eyes as wide as saucers while sitting on the cucumber with all your weight
>And then your body starts to jerk and twitch and you suddenly start gushing all over the hospital bed and the imaginary Anon
>You spray the whole bed in your love juices while your ass tries to crush the cucumber inside of it before you have to lift yourself up and slip off of it because the pleasure is just so intense it feels like it burns
>You fall onto the now wet and messy bed and tremble there while basking in the intense afterglow while your gaping ponut twitches and oozes lube out
>You can feel a pleasant burning sensation on your ponut and your marehood feels like its swelling is going down
>You’re going to be a bit tender for a few days, but it’s been way too long since you got to do this~
>Good thing you’re still sensible enough to not do this daily or even weekly no matter how silly your head gets when you get in the mood
>Suddenly the door to your room gets pushed open
>”Are you ok? I heard...”
>You stare at the nurse like a deer caught in headlights as her mouth falls open at the sight of the mess and the state of your nether region
>But then the look on her face goes our and she just closes the door in a lazy fashion
>”Make sure to clean up after yourself properly.”
>You on the other hand feel intense shame and embarrassment from getting caught in this state and for the rest of your stay you were unable to look any of the nurses or doctors in the face
>Not to mention the awkwardness with Anon when he regained consciousness and the moment you met him again you were reminded of those wild fantasies you had in the heat of the moment

---------

*Some time later...*
>You’re standing in front of the small hospital at the outskirts of Manehattan at night with your bandaged friend looking at you
>”Are you sure Anon?”
>You nod
“Yeah Daylily, I don’t think I am that cut out for the nocturnal lifestyle so I’m just going to stay behind and start a life in Manehattan”
>Daylily offers you a smile
>”I think you did pretty good on our adventure”
>You chuckle a little
“Thanks, but I seriously thought I died when I was knocked unconscious”
>”Good thing that the ponies of the Jolly Gay Woodcutters Company brought us here as fast as possible or you could have very well been”
>you awkwardly scratch your bandaged head
“So what about you, still going to Hollow Shades like you planned?”
>”Yeah, I’ll move back into the town, properly this time and not into some random shack and start over”
>Daylily also has her head bandaged, and her other wing
“So I guess this will be goodbye?”
>Daylily looks at you for a brief moment before answering
>”Yes, I think it is...”
>And then there’s an awkward silence
“If you ever do get lost in Manehattan you’re welcome to visit me any time”
>Daylily nods and smiles
>”You do the same if you ever get lost near Hollow Shades”
“Thinking about trying to join the guard again?”
>Daylily shrugs her shoulders
>”It’s an option, but so far I’m not making any big plans”
>You let out a yawn
>”I should probably get going, the train will leave soon and you need to rest and heal up”
“Yeah...feeling kind of tired”
>Funny, you were ok with your friend going to Hollow Shades when she told you about her plans, but now that it’s the time to say goodbye you almost feel like you don’t want it to happen
>”Goodbye Anon, it was a very taxing and exciting adventure but I’m glad it was you who I ran into in the cabin”
>You let out a laugh
“More like a fun outing, you were all over those Olms in the cave”
>Daylily blushes a little and turns around before slowly walking away
“It’s not that big!”
>Daylily stops and looks at you with confusion on her face
“But that does not mean it’s completely flat either, I think it is nicely build and toned with an adequate amount of bodily fat on it for it to function in a desirable way”
>Daylily seems even more confused
>”What are you talking about?”
>You point at her ass
“Your butt, remember back at the house when we were going up the attic?”
>Daylily suddenly seems to remember and then suddenly hides as much of her butt behind her tail as possible
>”Stop staring at it...”
>You cross your arms and push your chest out proudly
“No!”
>Daylily rolls her eyes and then walks away while you stand there like that and watch her walk away
>After she’s far away from the hospital you stop doing it and turn around and head in
“I’m going to miss you”
>And what you don’t see is Daylily’s ears twitching like she heard it and saying something of her own before resuming walking
>”Me too”
>And that is the story of how you met and befriended a bat pony named Daylily
>This...is not how it was supposed to go
>Return to Hollow Shades, get a house, become a guard and finally your days of glory would begin
>Instead you got told they’re not taking in any new recruits currently and now you’re sitting in a juice bar and slurping on a smoothie that’s way too deluxe for your wallet if you don’t get a job soon
>But now you’re forced to think about other forms of employment
>At least it is a very good smoothie, you can’t believe how much you’ve missed eating fresh fruits of all kinds instead of eating mushrooms and stuff in the wild, or whatever you managed to get during your travels
>You take another long sip and enjoy the feeling of the fruity goodness flooding your mouth and sliding down your throat
>You can’t help your tail from gently swishing from side to side and your ears flicking every now and then as you gulp up your little treat for yourself
>You keep sipping it through the straw while absentmindedly looking around the shop at various bat ponies enjoying their night and various juices
>So many ponies, you find yourself feeling a little...out of place...
>During your travels it was easy, you didn’t really have to waste much time honing your social skills since you only talked to shopkeepers and such and you never traveled in groups
>Not to mention you always could leave so there was no pressure of screwing up or having any kind of a reputation
>But now...you’re supposed to start a new life and get out there, make friends, get along with colleagues...it feels new and slightly unnerving
>Especially since you are not a guard, with the safety of the uniform you would not have to worry about anything, you’d always have a purpose and the fact that you are a town guard backing you up no matter where you were or who you were dealing with
>You shake your head
>No, that kind of thinking will not do, it sounds how a coward would think, and you braved the wild, the mountains and timber wolves, not to mention you’ve certainly become more than able to talk to random ponies just like that
>Yes, just like you did it in your travels
>Besides you are not joining the guard just because you need a uniform to hide behind
>Even though that was originally the idea...back then when you hadn’t yet gone out and traveled here and there
>You take another sip, enjoying the feeling of ice cold smoothie in your mouth
>But you still have to admit, you actually preferred running away from the timber wolves with Anon and focusing on surviving instead of hanging around in Hollow Shades with no purpose at all
>Anon...would it be too soon to visit him yet?
>Probably yes, you haven’t gotten a letter from him yet...
>Maybe you should go back to the cave and go look at the Olms again? It’s some ways from Hollow Shades but the Olms were good listeners...
>You crack a little bit of a smile
>They look kind of like weird living water penises
>You finish your smoothie and decide to head back home for now
>You exit the store and instead of flying you decide to walk home, you’re in no rush
>Hollow Shades, you have to admit you like how this town looks over many others you’ve seen
>suddenly you find yourself somewhere unfamiliar, you must have taken a few wrong turns when looking at the houses and streets
>Not to mention staring up at the trees that block the sun has made you walk right into a dead end none the less
>But as you turn around you find two dirty looking bat pony stallions standing between you and the way back
>”Well lookie here what we have here buddy, a lone mare all by herself!”
>The other one of them pulls out a very small knife
>”Drop yer bits to the ground lass and we’ll let you carry on without a scra-“
>He can’t finish his sentence because your hoof making contact with his face sends him flying onto his back and hitting his head against the ground
>His friend stares in shock at his friend and then pulls out a knife of his own
>”Did you not hear us lassie we-“
>but you already turned around and delivered a buck right into his face, knocking him out cold and some teeth’s out 
>The one that you hit now gets up and sees his friend fall limp to the ground with some of his teeth’s scattered on the ground
>He takes flight and tries to run away but
>”M-me tail!”
>You grabbed onto his tail with your teeth’s and hold him from flying off, which only makes him flap his wings faster
>And you answer by pulling on his tail as hard as you can and slamming the whole pony against the side of a building before falling on top of his unconscious companion
>Now with both of them out cold you simply grab both of their tails into your mouth and start walking towards the nearest guard post while dragging the two ponies along the ground, attracting very curious glances from random bat ponies
>The guard turns to look at you with confusion on his face as you drag the two damaged assailants in front of him, their mouths now full of dirt and a few more scraped and bruises from being dragged along the ground now on their bodies
>You spit their tails out before talking to the guard that’s for some reason eyeing you cautiously
“They tried to rob me”
>The guard pony looks at the two in confusion and worry as you simply take flight and head towards your house now that you delivered them to the proper authorities
>Maybe you even left a good impression on one of the guards, that could come in handy if you do decide to become a guard
>You smile happily while flying away as the guardspony and a few others quickly get to tending the two robbers who’s various body parts point in the wrong direction
