The Witch's Plans for JCFoxman by Draconicon

Fluttershy blushed as she looked at all her friends. The sun was already down and every other pony she knew had already taken to bed, but the thought of all four of them being outside and about so bare...

Well, she was the barest of them, admittedly. Her dress had been 'ruined' by her earlier fun with Applejack, and she only had her underwear left from that. The others at least had dressing gowns, but they hadn't really bothered getting more than that. They'd been...surprisingly casual about everything ever since she'd rounded them up, almost as if something had shifted in their minds. As if some decision had been made.

It's so...different, she thought as she looked at her friends. Lovers, now, she supposed, now that they'd done that. She blushed as she looked at Twilight's purple robe, barely coming down over her rump. Or at Rarity, who'd brought a fur-lined cloak that covered her from her shoulders to her ankles, but opened in several places so much that it almost ruined her modesty. Or at Applejack, who'd just thrown a rain poncho on that barely came down to her thighs.

Every one of them was so much more sensual, and didn't even seem to notice it as they stood just outside of her cottage. Twilight and Rarity had already been waiting outside when she'd arrived, and Applejack had come by before she could go inside and get changed.

When she'd asked what they were here for, they all had the same answer.

"Waiting for you."

Waiting for her? That seemed impossible. Why would they -

Then she felt it. The same tingle that had drawn her out of her cottage that first time, and then again when she'd made the bargain with her forest lover. A summons towards the hut, an unignorable tug that pulled at her heart and made her arch her back, thrusting her breasts forward in the process.

All in front of her friends, too, though surprisingly there was no mockery, no teasing. Only Twilight spoke up.

"What's wrong? I feel -"

"It's...it's my friend."

"Your friend has magic?"

"A lot of it...and she wants me to come see her again."

"Well, sugarcube," Applejack butted in, "sounds like we finally get to meet her. Heh. Maybe we'll get to hear what happened to you."

"O-oh, you don't want to hear about that."

"Actually, as a student of magic, I would."

"And frankly, darling, I'd sell my soul to be able to make a body so beautiful as yours; I can barely make do with making clothes to show them off."

You wouldn't want to do it this way, I'm sure, Fluttershy thought, even though there was a small part of her that wished they would. The images of her friends bound down by her lover's tentacles, lifted towards bliss by the constant touching and rubbing, the slow stroking and teasing, was enough to leave her panties a little damp.

Another tug pulled at her before she could answer, and this time she arched her back all the further, taking a step away from her cottage before she could stop herself. Fluttershy blushed, particularly when Twilight put a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you okay? I can come up with -"

"N-no, it's fine. We should - I mean, I should -"

You can bring your friends, Fluttershy. I'd like to see them in person, rather than through my magic...

The realization that Crevara had been watching her through magic spells was something that Fluttershy hadn't even considered. Her cheeks burned brighter than ever, and she could only think of how she must have looked so shamefully needy with all of her friends. At the same time, a part of her - a small, but growing part - hoped that she'd put on a good show. That part knew that she looked good enough to watch...but it was still just a tiny thing compared to all the embarrassment that was rushing through her.

Twilight shook her shoulder again, and Fluttershy realized that she'd cut off in the middle of what she was saying.

"Um, actually...I guess you can come...she wants to see you, too."

"Good. I want to see the pony that did this to my friend."

"And I, for one, want to indulge my curiosity as to what this pony thinks she's up to, changing things without even asking."

"Darn tootin'. I got some questions myself."

Girls... She couldn't help but smile to herself, even though she knew that this wasn't going to go the way that they thought it was. Crevara was strong enough to make things happen the way that the witch wanted, no matter how the girls planned. But seeing them so willing, so happy to come with her and talk with her lover...it warmed her heart.

They set off, Fluttershy quickly forgetting her state of near-undress as she navigated her way towards the Everfree Forest. The moon shone down on them by the time that they arrived, and it felt like it left a tingle through her skin, almost like a feeling of tanning in the sun might have.

Did Crevara do that, too? Making me like the night a bit more than the day? she wondered as they stepped beneath the branches of the forest. It was like walking into darkness, with only the steady tug behind her heart dragging her further on. She walked through the forest like a dream, barely remembering where she had gone before, but trusting to the power of her lover to be her guide.

Twilight and the others were quiet behind her, but every time she looked over her shoulder, the three of them were there, faithfully following, and not asking her any questions. They always smiled reassuringly, though every so often, she thought that she saw a little hint of confusion in their eyes, like they'd had a thought and it disappeared.

A part of her knew that Crevara was responsible for that. There was no way that the three of them would just follow her blindly without some sort of help. At the same time, she couldn't be mad. It kept them from asking questions.

She wasn't sure how long they walked under the trees and the moon, but soon enough, they arrived at the cottage. Outside, in a small chair of roots that almost looked like a throne, sat her lover. Crevara, the witch that had given her the new body that bounced and jiggled and swayed. Crevara, the purple pony that had come out of nowhere. Crevara...looking like a queen in her own right.

The purple pony was 'dressed' in a cloak, but she hadn't bothered to put anything else on, leaving her as bare as Fluttershy was, if not more, particularly as the cloak was spread wide. Her large breasts and bare sex were on easy display, and the latter looked...rather needy, from the glistening down there.

Yet, at the same time, the witch's smile drew one from her as well.

"It's lovely to see you again, Fluttershy. Come to me."

And she did, happily. What embarrassment she had faded as she ran across the open earth, embracing the purple witch with eagerness. She nuzzled up against Crevara, hugging her, and barely blushed at all as their boobs pressed together from their incredible intimacy.

The witch rubbed her back, gently welcoming her, and she felt all of her own worries fading away. She felt...comfortable. It was different than when she had been with her friends. With them, it was fun, it was new, it was different, it was exciting, but there was always this edge of worry and fear, that something could go wrong, that she might put a toe out of line or go too far. With Crevara...with her, it was right. It was perfect. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

Slowly, her lover pulled back, and she saw that the witch was looking back. Fluttershy followed her gaze, and realized that all of her friends were staring at her, their jaws dropped almost down to their chests.

"Oh, um...yes. Everyone, this is...this is Crevara. She's the one that...that helped me know what I was really like."

"What do you mean, Fluttershy?"

She rubbed the back of her head at Twilight's question.

"Um, I...I've always been...shy."

"We've noticed, sugar."

"But I've had this...this need to be seen. I've always wanted to be noticed, and Crevara gave me a chance to actually do that. She gave me this body. These...boobs..."

She still blushed when she said it, but she was able to reach up to her bra and feel them, feel them bouncing a bit beneath her touch. Everything seemed to burn with need, almost like the moonlight was awakening some deep need inside of her, waking up the part of her that knew what it wanted, and how it could get it.

Her fingers tightened before she could stop them, and she gasped as she blatantly groped herself in front of the other mares. They stared at her, but she couldn't stop.

"She gave me these perfect boobs...and a big...perfect butt...and made me into this. I love it...I love my new self..."

"You love who you really are, my lover. You have embraced what I saw in you the first time."

Fluttershy nodded at Crevara's explanation, unable to stop fondling her breasts, bouncing them in her hands, lifting them and arching her back at their sheer sensitivity. Almost trapped in the prison of pleasure, she couldn't even stand up, falling to her knees as her lover walked past her.

"And you, my dear mares, are welcome to join in with the gift."

Welcome...please...take the offer. It feels so good to be your true self.

Yet the three of them didn't leap for it. She understood, in a way. It was scary to think that what you had always been wasn't what you really were. At the same time, she could look at any of them, at all of them, and see what they really were.

Twilight was beautiful, barely restrained in her robe, but it was the robe of a student, the robe of someone that still hadn't mastered the confidence in themselves to do what they wanted. To pursue the mastery of magic that she could do. To show the world that she was as much an authority on knowledge and magic as her teacher.

Rarity was a mistress of fashion, but more than that, she was the epitome of beauty. Her body was kept well, and she could bring out the best in everything. The white mare had a mind for synergy, had a skill for what would draw out the good qualities in anything. In effect, she was a more specialized version of Crevara, if only she would embrace it.

And Applejack. Fluttershy moaned as she pressed her boobs together, looking at the earth pony. Applejack was a strong, powerful woman, someone that should have the strength of will to teach others what could be enjoyed, to push them to their boundaries to help them learn how strong, how wonderful they really were. She could do that, if she had the chance.

And Crevara could give them that.

Please, she begged silently. Please take what she offers...

Fluttershy whimpered, her face burning red as she kept up her play, and finally Rarity stepped forward. The white pony looked Crevara up and down, and slowly smiled.

"Darling, I've always wondered how one finds a way to complement nudity."

"And what do you see, Rarity?"

"That there is no complement for perfection."

The purple pony smiled, reaching out a hand.

"You see many things, Rarity. Kneel, if you wish my gift."

The white mare lowered herself to the ground, and Fluttershy blushed as a sudden burst of magic flared around her friend, throwing her clothes right off. A purple haze, deeper and darker and tinged with red - unlike Twilight's magic - suddenly lit Rarity up like a bubble, surrounding her and keeping her pinned to the ground. As soon as it covered her head, thick, black tendrils rose up, swallowing the mare's legs and sweeping up higher and higher.

And through it all, Rarity moaned, deep, happy bursts of pleasure coming from her throat.

The other mares stepped back, staring at the display, but Fluttershy knew better. There was no worry, no fear. This was purest pleasure. She knew it from experience.

Slowly it showed on Rarity's face, the white mare panting and gasping as the tendrils worked higher, pushing up against that bouncy, curvy rump, rolling it between various black tendrils as others swooped up her slender belly. Fluttershy sighed in envy as she watched, pressing her thumbs to her own nipples as the tendrils swirled around Rarity's breasts, covering them in snake-like spirals and squeezing.

Through it all, Crevara whispered in a way that every one of them could hear.

"You've always blessed others with your fashion ideas. Now bless them with your body. You are a beauty that all should envy, Rarity. You don't need clothes to show that. All you need are the curves and the sway of your own body."

"My...my body...."

"Your boobs will grow."

The dark spirals along Rarity's breasts suddenly swelled outwards, clenching around boob-flesh that pushed through them for a moment before expanding to fit it again. Then another swelling, another fitting. Another swelling. Growing bigger, bigger, rounder, heavier, fuller, but never sagging.

As Rarity moaned on the ground, Crevara turned her attention to the other ponies. Fluttershy followed her lover's eyes, unable to help herself but to admire her other friends. The robe had half-fallen off of Twilight when the alicorn had jumped back, and Applejack's poncho was covering her by a thread.

It's so easy, girls...please...just let her do this...it will feel so...so good...

Applejack was the next to give in, kneeling without a word as she took off her poncho, and her lover smiled as she walked over to the earth pony. She laid a hand on the farmer's head, and stroked her.

"You are strong. Stronger than so many ponies that have walked this world. You share that strength with all that you call friend, do you not?"

"Of course. If I'm strong enough to help, why not?"

"And you carry on the line of your family."

"Heh, when I get the time, I will."

"You are strong, and you are beautiful. Let me give you more."

The same aura swallowed Applejack as it had Rarity, the tendrils rising up. Rather than binding the farmer's legs, however, they reached up and pulled them apart, making her kneel with her sex almost pressed against the ground. Even as Applejack gasped, several started rubbing between her rump cheeks, and between her legs, so near her sex.

Crevara guided them, but Applejack knew what they were doing, knew from experience how good this felt. Even better than the rubbing, the growth that happened with Rarity. This was a gift of greatness, of expansion, of a power that would last for several lifetimes.

The tendrils rose, pressing deep between Applejack's legs, and the farmer pony arched her back, thrusting her breasts forward.

"You will be the one that brings this gift to the world, Applejack. Your strength will bless every filly that comes from you, and every filly that comes to you. You will be as a mother, and a strong one, to many. You will guide, and you will protect, as a mare should."

As the earth pony was left gasping with pleasure, Fluttershy couldn't help but feel an amazing burst of happiness for both of her friends that had given in. The pleasure that they must be enjoying was something that she could only imagine. Her memories of being held by Crevara's magic, of being teased and enhanced the way that they were, were hazy enough that she could only guess at how good it felt to have it taken further, to be given this gift so deeply.

With Applejack's hips rounding out, and her breasts growing, and her rear end getting wider and fuller for the tendrils, both Fluttershy and the witch turned to Twilight. The alicorn's breasts had bounced out of her robe as she'd jumped back in shock at what was happening to the other two, and Crevara gently reached out, lifting them up.

Twilight's moans echoed through the small clearing as the witch rubbed them, and Fluttershy mimicked the movements across her own boobs.

"You, Twilight, have always been a student. You've learned from books, from a princess, and from life. You've taken in so much and improved yourself so many times, and yet, you always come back to the idea that you are just a student. You are not just anything. You are a brilliant woman, a mare that has so much to give back to the world, and a body that anyone would come to see, just as you have a mind anyone would come to learn from."

"I...I have a lot...to share..."

"In mind and body, Twilight. In mind and body. Will you accept my gift, to bring out the true self? Will you accept my touch, to show you just what you are, inside?"

"I...I am..."

"You are far more than you think. Let me show you. Let me give you this."

Please, Twilight, you are. Crevara is right. Let her show you.

The purple alicorn shifted her weight, several times trying to take a step back from the witch, but every time, Crevara pulled her back with a touch of pleasure, a stroke of a hand, a flick of her tail. Everything did something to put Twilight off-balance, keeping her from thinking. Or rather, as Fluttershy was sure it was, of over-thinking.

It was inevitable. Twilight fell to her knees, and whispered something as Crevara nudged the robe off of her. With a snap of her fingers, Crevara summoned the aura again, and bound Twilight with it, soon leaving the alicorn moaning like the other two mares.

"You are brilliant, but you are no longer a girl. You are a woman. Embrace it, Twilight. Embrace your new self, your true self."

The alicorn leaned back, moaning as her body was swallowed in writhing tendrils. They swept up her body, lifting like hands at her breasts, and her legs spread as a ghostly, clawed hand worked over her sex, rubbing in a line between her nether lips as she got wetter and wetter. They pulled her around, keeping her on display as her breasts swelled, her body...maturing, for lack of a better word. She was getting older, but she was getting more beautiful at the same time, like she had simply grown into her curves and learned to love them in a way that she hadn't before.

Through it all, Fluttershy watched her with legs grinding against each other, thighs pressing tightly to one another and her hands never stopping their squeezing and bouncing of her boobs. Her nipples felt so hard against her palms, and she whimpered in utter pleasure at the sight of her friends accepting the same gift that she had been given.

Except...

Except it wasn't the same. They grew, they assumed better bodies, as she had, but there was a feeling in the air of something being different. As Crevara returned to her, standing over her, the yellow mare blushed and panted.

"C-Crevara...what..."

"You feel it, my love?"

"I do...what is...why is it different?"

"Because you were the first...and you are my favorite."

The purple pony leaned down, kissing her on the lips.

"They will be like you...but not the same as you. You captured me, as I captured you. I have given many different gifts to the four of you, but yours will be the greatest."

"Why?"

"Because you, my dear Fluttershy...are the one that I love the most."

She felt the aura come, swallowing her from her hooves all the way to her head. It glowed with a bright power, and she felt a weight, like a giant hand keeping her from standing. Her legs spread on their own, and slowly, she felt the tendrils come, sloiding up along her legs and getting higher and higher, wrapping around her hips. Ghostly hands stroked across her stomach, and others reached up to prop up her breasts, holding them high so that her hardened nipples were obvious in the moonlight.

As the tendrils wrapped around her, pinning her under the weight of her own pleasure, she could only stare ahead through glazed eyes. Thought was impossible at the slow strokes, like the lightest of fingers, the most wonderful touches as they trailed over her breasts -

Boobs.

Yes, boobs. The biggest of the group, the largest, the most sensitive. So heavy and yet, at the same time, so light, never hurting, always feeling wonderful. Crevara looked down at her, and the smile that she got was almost enough to send her over the edge on its own.

"Yes, that's it, my dearest...enjoy it...indulge in it...know that this is what you deserve."

"What I...deserve."

"Love, Fluttershy. You have my love, and I have yours."

"All of it...all my...love..."

The purple pony kissed her again, this time on the forehead, and Fluttershy cried out in bliss. Her body arched, her chest thrusting forward and her eyes rolling back in her head. It wasn't an orgasm, but it was utter heaven...because her lover had chosen her, had kissed her.

The tendrils swirled up her thighs, parting the lips at her sex, and she felt herself dripping down to the floor of the forest. Panting hard, Fluttershy tried to think why this was happening, but could only stare as Crevara lowered herself to the ground as well. As the purple pony knelt down, she held out one hand, a bit of bright light flaring over her palm.

"My magic has a cost, Fluttershy. A cost I've been willing to pay for a long time. Love...and failing that...life. I have given my life to my magic...hoping to find someone that would love me, and would give me what I needed.

"I was almost desperate enough to create a puppet for it...like the changelings have thought to do...but that would not have been a true thing. Not the true love that you have found for me. And for that love...I give you a gift."

Fluttershy watched as the magic light was lowered to the mass of tendrils beneath her. It disappeared, but only for a moment before rising up as the glowing, burning, brilliant tip of a thicker tendril pointed right between her legs. She blushed, looking up from it.

"This, Fluttershy, is a piece of my magic. Steeped in love, and fed for the last day in all that you've felt for me. And unlike me, you will never fear feeding it with anything else. Accept my gift, my lover, my darling."

There was a choice. Fluttershy felt it, felt it lingering before her like a hazy afterimage in the summer light. She didn't have to do it, just as none of her friends had had to take the gifts that they were offered. This was just Crevara trying to give her something, some gift...

And she wanted it.

Smiling in her bliss, Fluttershy parted her legs that little bit more, lowering herself upon the tip of the tendril. As soon as she felt it, its shadowy warmth pushed upwards, spearing into her, and she cried out in pleasure. Bliss and wonder filled her at the same time, and she was wracked with pleasure, her eyes closing as she climaxed.

The faint sound of footsteps walking away was almost drowned out beneath the moans and gasps and whimpers of pleasure that all four mares made. They screamed, they shouted, they gasped, they moaned; everything was just another expression of the amazing feelings that they were drowning in, given to them by the witch - the queen - the goddess that they had found.

One by one, they slowly fainted from the overstimulation, unable to take it anymore. Twilight went first, turning their screaming shrieks into a trio of pleasure. Then it was Rarity, falling to her knees, leaving her and Applejack 'singing' their duet. Then the earth pony faded, leaving Fluttershy moaning a solo, until she finally gave in as well, falling to the ground.

The pleasure continued deep into her darkness, and she dreamed of Crevara.

Light came slowly, and when it did, there was no shame despite her nudity. Fluttershy sat up, feeling almost...refreshed, despite the strange pleasure still tingling between her legs and at her chest. Seeing that she was still in the forest, just outside the hut, she looked around for her friends.

She found them almost immediately, seeing that they were sitting on a log not far away. All of them were nude, as well, and were facing away from her. Fluttershy smiled, getting to her feet and walking over to them.

As she stepped on a twig, they all turned at the same time. Large breasts - far larger than they'd enjoyed before - swayed and smacked into arms and backs, but that wasn't what caught her attention. Rather, it was what lay between them that did.

Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack all had their chests marked with what looked almost like a flower between their breasts, except that the flower's petals were made of writhing tentacles, black and shimmery with an outline of the purple magic that Crevara used. Each mark was about the size of the palm of someone's hand, big enough to be seen and hard to hide.

Looking down, Fluttershy saw that she had a similar mark, though hers was outlined in pink rather than purple. She wondered what that meant.

Before she could ask, her friends were on her, surrounding her, but not with questions. Instead, they all hugged her, kissing her cheeks, and piling their thanks on one after another. They were all still so happy, so amazed at what had happened the night before, and it was so strange to be welcomed like this.

It was also still a little strange to have giant boobs pressing in on her from all sides, to be jostled around by three other mares that were as well-endowed as she was, nearly, and to have such plush hips bumping her around as well.

"Girls, girls..."

Crevara. They all turned as one, looking back at the hut. The purple witch had abandoned her cloak, standing in the nude in front of them with only a staff in her hand and nothing else. She smiled, though, and Fluttershy felt herself smiling back for the happiness it gave her.

"I think I owe you all an explanation...Sit, please."

As they sat down, Fluttershy got comfortable with Applejack's arm around her hips and Rarity's around her shoulder. Both mares were rubbing her absently with their fingers, and were so close to touching something naughty. Once, she would have been bothered with that...now, it just felt like another loving touch. Crevara got comfortable on a set of roots, then began her story.

"I used to be a powerful countess on the far ends of the world. The kingdom I was part of isn't there anymore, caved in on itself by conniving noble ponies and others that wished to look for power rather than love. I survived, because I left. I sent my people to find a new home in other lands, and then left on my own, carrying nothing but my magic.

"I swiftly discovered that love of people far away is a poor substitute for the love of those that lived with me, and my magic suffered. I fed it with my life, protecting myself as I went from place to place, looking for a land to call my own. I no longer felt that I could claim the title of countess, so I looked for homes, for a small plot that might be a farm...but I could never find one. As a witch, I was chased, no matter the way I used my magic.

"I came here, hearing that magic was more accepted, that there was already a zebra here that was like me. A stranger, someone that had powers that were not as accepted elsewhere, but had made a home. I came here...looking for love."

Crevara smiled as she looked around the four of them, and Fluttershy blushed.

"Where I come from, it is not a strange thing for one person to have many partners, as long as they are all bound by the same love for each other. I wished to bring that here. I have changed your bodies, and I have opened your minds, but I have never done anything to you that you wouldn't have wished for. Your bodies and minds are your own, and will always stay that way.

"What I have done is given you a gift, and I ask for one in return."

The witch looked them over, and Fluttershy knew what she would ask before she did. The yellow mare smiled and pressed her hand to her mark on her chest.

"I'll stay with you, Crevara. I'll stay with you, and love you, as whatever you'll have me as."

"Darling, I leaped into bed with Fluttershy when I saw how amazing you made her. If you think that I'll miss the chance to love your body as well, you're crazy."

"Hun, I've always been one to stand by my friends. After last night, I'd say you're a friend and then some."

"Hmmm, does that mean that we are all becoming a...Oh, I studied it just a few weeks ago." Twilight shook her head. "Right, that's it. Are we becoming your...harem?"

Crevara blinked, and then chuckled.

"It has been a very long time since I heard that word, a very long time indeed." She smiled. "But yes, I suppose you are."

"...I have to admit, I never thought I'd take up a role like that."

"It is one that will have many rewards."

"I don't doubt that. But it is still weird...even though I'm going to say yes."

Fluttershy beamed. She'd hoped that her friends would follow her lead on this, but seeing it happen was something entirely different. She squeezed all three of them, even as Crevara nodded and smiled at them.

"I'm glad that this has worked out."

"C-Crevara, does that mean we...we'll be living here, like on a farm?"

"A farm? Oh, Fluttershy, we aren't going to think so small. I might have been willing to settle for that, once, but things have changed. My magic has grown, and with you four...I think I am more than a countess, these days."

The witch's eyes glittered.

"Let us make this forest a place fit for a queen."

Three years later...

Fluttershy sat on a branch overlooking one of the many springs that Crevara had raised from the earth during her time as the Witch-Queen of the Everfree Forest. A young couple had 'stumbled' upon it during their wanderings through the woods, and were already working on each other's clothes, driven towards a wonderful, physical love by the scent that slid between every branch of the forest. Satisfied that they would be okay, Fluttershy quietly made her way to another tree, and another tree after that, walking the branches in the way that her lover had taught her.

She was still in awe of all that her lover had managed to teach her, and how many things had changed in the time since Crevara had revealed herself to the ruling royalty of Equestria. Princess Celestia had been shocked to see someone of such power, and there had been a moment where conflict seemed sure.

Yet, with pressure from Twilight - a princess in her own right, by that point - Celestia had backed down. There had been too much to lose and too little to gain from any sort of fight, and, according to her alicorn friend, Celestia was quite willing to let someone else spruce up the Everfree Forest, as long as they weren't doing anything malicious to the people of Equestria.

Fluttershy smiled, remembering that day of celebration. Her, Rarity, Applejack, Twilight, and Crevara had spent most of the night doing anything but sleeping, holding each other and seeing who could stay quiet the longest and all the others did their best to make the 'unlucky' mare scream in bliss.

She'd lost so quickly.

Giggling a little, she made her way to the risen palace of trees that Crevara had created for herself deep in the center of the forest. The witch had grown stronger and ever more beautiful over the last few years, feasting on the love from Fluttershy and the rest of the 'harem' that had come to be. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash had come to visit a few times, and were known as honorary members of the harem, even bearing the mark, but they had too many things to do on the outside. More to the point, they weren't quite as close as Twilight and the others, and didn't feel the need for Crevara's love in the same way.

Stepping off of one tree onto the woven root wall that surrounded the palace, Fluttershy was greeted by one of the 'magic' ponies that Crevara created, the blue, curvy servants that populated the castle. Barely dressed, just as she was, the pony helped her down and offered to guide her to the Queen. She nodded, and walked along the walls until they were brought to one of the spiraling trees that served as towers.

They walked up towards the Queen's chambers, and Fluttershy dismissed the pony at the door. The glowing equine faded away, and she opened the wooden door.

Crevara sat on the edge of her bed, reading through leaves that had been pierced with needles, carrying messages from all over the forest. Her curves had grown, leaving her even more voluptuous than Fluttershy had become over the years. The purple pony looked up and smiled.

"Welcome back, my love."

"It's good to be back."

She walked over quietly, sitting down beside the queen, and nestled into her arms. One wrapped around her, pulling her closer, and she sighed happily. Her lover gave her a squeeze before putting the leaves aside.

"Those will keep for later. How is the forest?"

"Filled with those looking for love, and those looking to love themselves."

"As always."

"Ever since you came here."

"And are they well?"

"As well as we can help them be. The springs are helping, healing them from their worries and giving them the confidence they need to move forward. I saw at least four different couples walking around, and finding themselves better."

"Wonderful."

They shared a kiss, and Crevara smiled.

"Twilight is almost done with her visit to Celestia's court. She'll be back tonight."

"Oooh, I can't wait. She promised to bring me a few things."

"A few things, hmmm?"

She blushed. Even after all these years...

"Just...a few presents. Something that might be fun...later."

"Mmmhmmm?"

"It's a surprise."

"Alright, alright. Well, don't let me spoil it. Is there anything else?"

"Well, there are four young fillies wandering around, and I think..."

"Yes?"

"I think they could...really be helped...if you met them."

It was something that the Queen occasionally did, meeting with those that were hurt and lost. The healing touch of the Queen was even greater than that of the forest and the springs, and the words that she shared could help any female towards a breakthrough in understanding herself.

If some of them ended up in the harem as well...well, Fluttershy liked the company.

Crevara nodded.

"I'll look for them...but later. Right now, I want you."

"And you will always have me."

They held each other, and fell back onto the bed as the shadows began to rise.

The End
