BNS Chapter 21 - On the road

Before the sun's rays reached Alan's face, he began to frown a little, waking up from a pleasant dream straight into a pleasant reality.

Feeling a warm feeling below the waist, Alan slowly opened his eyes, and looking down, a very pleasant picture awaited him. Two adorable sisters, Maud and Pinkie Pie, enthusiastically polished his cock, with extremely pleased and happy faces.

Noticing his awakening, Maud looked up from her caress, and with a slight smile spoke monotonously.

— Good morning. We decided to help you wake up.

At this point, Pinkie also stopped using her tongue and said.

— That's right, hee-hee! We decided to speed up your awakening a little so that you can quickly start your adventure!

Pleased with such a pleasant surprise, but not quite understanding what it was about, Alan asked.

— It's a damn good way to wake up, but what kind of adventure are we talking about?

Not bothering to waste any more time, the mares returned to their favorite candy, and only pointed with their hooves to his croup.

After following where they pointed, Alan found that his cutie mark flickered slightly, as if informing about something. Remembering this phenomenon, Alan thought:

«It can't be... It looks like a call from the map! But shouldn't it call on someone from the main six, or at least their close friends?»

But he could not finish his reflections, as Maud finally began to work with her mouth in full force, starting to swallow his dick almost to its full length, showing clear progress. Pinkie wasted no time taking up his balls, gently sucking one or the other.

All this made Alan let out a small groan, and for a while throw extraneous thoughts out of his head, and completely surrender to what is happening at the moment.

Their mouths and tongues were so tender and quick that it didn't take Alan long to drop a portion of the cream into the mouth of his gray lover, a small portion of which went to her pink sister too.

Relaxing from their onslaught, Alan sighed contently, and hugged the two sisters, who had already risen to his chest to embrace. Taking a breath, he asked.

— So Pinkie. If I'm not mistaken, this is the call of the map, right?

— RIGHT! Get ready, you will certainly have an unforgettable adventure, with the solution of the problem of friendship! Well, or something else. Twilight has already told us about what happened to you and the map.

Looking at the ceiling, Al answered.

— Friendship problem, huh? How far can a map usually send you?

Raising her hoof to her chin, Pinkie took a thoughtful expression on her face, and answered.

— Last time, the map called me and Rarity to Canterlot, where we solved the problem of wonderful ponies who own a restaurant with delicious dishes! But for the very first time, I was sent to Griffinstone with Rainbow Dash, so the call could be anywhere within Equestria.

Hearing this, Alan nodded, confirming his thoughts, and wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by a knock on the hatch door above Maud's house, and literally a second later an envelope appeared in front of him from a flash of purple magic.

Surprised by this coincidence, the three looked at the envelope with curiosity. Seeing it, Pinkie happily said.

— Oh, it must be from Twilight!

Alan lifted the envelope with his magic, and as he walked with the mares to the door of Maud's house, he examined the envelope with curiosity until he noticed the signature from Twilight.

«It looks like this is really a letter from Twilight. I think this is about the call of the map. Yes, the new day has just begun, and something is already happening.»

Taking his eyes off the envelope, he opened the door of Maud's house, and Rainbow's worried face greeted him.

— Hey! Morning, Alan! Ready for our morning workout?

Then, noticing Maud and Pinkie behind him, she greeted them as well.

— Oh, morning Maud. And Pinkie, what are you doing here so early?

— I woke up here, silly.

— Huh?

Falling into a slight stupor, Dash tried to figure out what that meant, but before she could, Alan intervened.

— I'm sorry Rainbow, but it looks like I won't be able to attend your training today.

— A? What? Why?

Instead of answering, he pointed to his flickering side and showed a letter from Twilight.

Seeing this, Rainbow's jaw dropped and she said.

— No way! Is the map calling you? This is so cool! An exciting adventure awaits you! It's a pity that I wasn't summoned either, so we would have gone together. I wonder who else will be called?

— This is what I hope to learn from this letter.

Letting Dash into the house, he quickly opened the letter and began to read it aloud.

— Good morning Alan, this is Twilight Sparkle. As you probably already noticed, your cutie mark should be flickering at the moment. I assure you that you have nothing to worry about, and that is absolutely normal.

Rolling his eyes, Alan looked inquiringly at Pinkie and Rainbow, to which they laughed, and the rainbow pegasus decided to answer his mute question.

— Twilight is always very meticulous about everything related to magic and the map, and sometimes she likes to exaggerate events. Don't worry, you'll get used to it, just read on.

Alan nodded and continued.

— The phenomenon that you are observing is a call from the map to solve the friendship's problem. Usually, the map only summons the keepers of harmony, but given recent events, I'm not surprised that she summoned you on such a mission. I ask you to report to the castle as soon as possible to clarify the place of summoning, along with Starlight, who was also called for this mission.

Noticing a small note, Alan read it too.

— P.S. Hey Alan, this is Spike. When Starlight found out that she was going on this adventure with you, she became very joyful and excited. To such an extent that she began preparing even more painstakingly than Twilight. Hee hee, she's acting pretty funny if you ask me. Just don't tell anyone I wrote this, ok? Okay buddy, I'm waiting for you at the castle…

Hearing this, Pinkie and Rainbow laughed even more, and even on Maud's faces a small smile appeared. Glancing at them, Alan said.

— Okay, have a little laugh, and that's enough. The main thing is not to tell Spike that I read it out loud in front of you, I just did not expect that he would write about the secret of his message at the very end of this very message.

— Khh-pfff-he-he... Okay, don't worry, your secret will stay with us... Pff…

Rainbow Dash still chuckled a little, but was still able to calm down. After that, Alan, under the wise instructions of Pinkie and Rainbow, collected all the things necessary for the trip in his back bag, and after having a light snack, went to the direction of the Twilight Castle. Of course, a trio of two sisters and a frisky pegasus accompanied him all the way to Twilight Castle.

Upon reaching the castle, Pinkie and Rainbow said goodbye, where Pinkie went to work at Sugarcube Corner, and Rainbow to warm up before heading off to the Wonderbolts. The only one who came in with him was Maud.

As soon as they reached the hall, they were immediately surprised by the voice of Starlight from the other end of the corridor.

— Spi-i-ke! Have you seen my bag of scrolls?

— You left it in the library!

The dragon answered, which was just in the main hall, into which they entered.

— Oh! Alan, good morning! You're just in time. Wait, I'll call Twilight right now.

With these words, he rushed towards the library. Alan and Maud approached the map, and looking at it, they saw two cutie marks flickering above it, one from Alan and the other from Starlight.

«Yeah, I'm just now starting to fully understand what's going on. It's one thing to watch it in a cartoon, and another to participate in it yourself.»

— While you are away, I will immerse myself in the study of the cave, and I will try to get as many stones and crystals as possible to make new bracelets.

Maud spoke monotonously, then added with a slight smile.

— And I'll try to score some points for you with Twilight and her friends.

Alan even sweated a little when he heard her remark and answered a little hesitantly.

— Um, thanks?... In general, I'm not sure how long I will be away, but already now I understand that I will miss you.

— Yes, me too.

With a monotonous answer, the gray mare nodded in acknowledgment. It was at this moment that Twilight and Starlight burst into the hall. Alicorn held a small book with magic, and Starlight carried two heavy bags, so full that various scrolls, books and even hiking tools literally stuck out of them.

— Alan! Good morning, I just finished packing and I'm ready to go!

— Cool, but I still don't know exactly where.

— Ah, right.

With these words, she looked at Twilight, who nodded, and going up to the map with everyone, began to explain.

— This call is quite interesting, as it seems to lead to an area located at a decent distance from civilization, so I could not find too much information.

— Well, that doesn't sound too optimistic.

Scratching the back of his head, Alan said, to which Twilight smiled, and spreading an open book in front of everyone on the table, answered.

— Do not worry, I still managed to find out something. For example, the nearest village is home to exiled griffins who broke the Griffinstone rules. When the number of such offenders exceeded a certain number, they decided to unite into one community, and built their own small village on the outskirts of the forest, where they have lived for more than one hundred years.

Turning the illustrated book over, Twilight continued thoughtfully.

— Unfortunately, I was never able to find out which rule they violated, and I'm not sure how their morals have changed by now. So I can't predict their attitude towards ponies or other strangers. Therefore, I advise you not to visit this place without an urgent need.

Looking at a map of a forest with a small mountain where their cutie marks were pointing, Alan asked.

— What can you say about this forest? Any dangers?

— Ah, right! Surprisingly, this forest has a border with our Ever-Free Forest, and therefore, it resembles it a little, with the only difference, it is not as dangerous as ours. But it compensates for this with its size, and an abundance of swamps, bogs and other difficult-to-pass areas. In general, I cannot imagine what kind of friendship problem might arise there, as I am not sure if anyone can live there.

— Here's a riddle for you. I guess there is only one way to find out.

Glancing at Starlight, he asked.

— I think we have nothing to catch here, so we can go, right?

Smiling happily, she answered.

— Right! This is my first call and the map has never called me before! And what's more, she called you too! Two new ponies who are not part of the harmony guardians have been summoned by the map to solve the problem of friendship! What could be more exciting?

— Okay, okay, calm down, there is nothing surprising here.

Twilight tried to calm her friend down, to which she was put in her place by Spike.

— Said the one who stood for ten minutes with her mouth open, pointing her hoof at the map, until I and Starlight pulled you away.

— Um... he-he...

Twilight blushed a little with embarrassment, but coughed in her hoof, she said.

— One way or another, if the map chose you, then there must be reasons for this. So I have no doubt that you can handle this problem perfectly.

Alan smiled, and walking with Starlight towards the exit, said.

— It will be so. We will resolve this issue and get back as soon as possible.

With these words, Alan and Starlight finally left the castle, where Starlight took Alan towards a small airfield to rent an aerostat, in which they will go to the pony town, which is located closest to the forest they need.

Maud, who stayed with Twilight, decided to immediately begin her plan to raise Alan in the eyes of the lilac alicorn, which was not so difficult, since she already had a very high opinion of him, which played Maud on the hoof.

(Hoovesvill, Airfield.)

Having finally reached the right place, Alan and Starlight got off the balloon, quickly finding out the way from the locals, headed for the exit from the city, walking along the path towards the forest, which the locals call the Ever-Hungry Forest, which they found very funny. But when they found out why the forest was given such a name, it was no longer so funny.

It turns out that there are many swamps, bogs and even quicksand in this forest, that it has absorbed more than one traveler who has lost his way there. Sometimes even the inhabitants of this forest themselves, who have long adapted to these conditions, cannot avoid the fate of being swallowed up by this land. Hence the name, Ever-Hungry Forest.

As they walked, Alan and Starlight engaged in a dialogue about whether magic or science has more potential. The mare believed in the greater potential of magic than technology, Alan, in turn, did not claim that science has more potential than magic, but was completely sure that it was definitely not less. And surprisingly for Starlight, Alan had quite a lot of knowledge, and a good point of view on possible technology versus magic.

— Then what about teleportation? Can you say that science and technology can do something similar?

Scratching the back of his head, he said.

— In theory, this is possible, but extremely difficult. This is much easier to achieve with magic than with technology. But, if we are talking about huge distances, then such a technology will show itself in full glory, since not every unicorn can carry itself over long distances, let alone ordinary ponies. But with the help of the built teleport, absolutely all ponies, regardless of the type, will be able to use it. The main thing is to develop the technology to a sufficiently high level.

After hearing his argument, Starlight agreed.

— Well, you are right here, teleportation is considered a very advanced spell, and not given to everyone. My friend, Trixie, has been trying to master this spell for a long time, and so far, more or less normally, she can only transfer other objects.

Alan nodded and answered.

— Yeah, teleportation really sounds like something heavy. Hope I can master it with my bracelets.

— Don't worry, if you can learn to maintain four to five knots of magic, then you will definitely be able to do it. The main thing is to keep in mind the necessary numeric variables well.

— Well, until this moment I still have to study and study, but I am sure that with your and Twilight's help, Maud and I will develop quite quickly. And your explanations are surprisingly simple and straightforward. It's a pity in my school years there was no such amazing teacher as you, maybe then my grades would have been better.

Starlight smiled and turned away slightly, hiding her slight blush on her face, and answered.

— Well, I'm not sure that I could be a teacher for foals, it takes a lot of patience. Learning adult ponies is much easier.

— You may be right, but I still think you could handle even that.

Alan replied with a shrug, causing Starlight to smile again. They continued to talk on various topics until the path leveled out along the Ever-Hungry Forest.

Checking the map, they realized that they were already very close to the place they needed. Seeing this, Starlight spoke up.

— Looks like we almost got there. It remains only to figure out whether someone really lives here. I would not want to wander through such a dangerous forest at random.

— Well, as we walked, there were a few ponies on our way. I think I should have asked them about it then. Well, it's too late to cry over spilled milk. Let's ask the next ponies we meet... if they come across of course…

Fortunately for Alan and Starlight, five minutes later they came across a pair of elderly ponies, in the form of a stallion and a mare, who looked like a married couple. The stallion was an earth pony, and had red fur, with a yellow comb back, and the mare was a blue pegasus, with a crimson-colored mane tied in a tail. They were carrying a small cart with things, and their expressions were rather peaceful.

As soon as they noticed Alan and Starlight, they smiled amiably. Starlight wasted no time, and immediately decided

ask them about this place.

— Good afternoon, my name is Starlight Glimmer, and this is Alan.

— Hey.

Alan greeted them with a hoof as Starlight introduced him.

— We are here for the first time, and we would like to ask your help with orientation in these places.

After examining Alan, the couple looked at Starlight, and the mare spoke first.

— Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Sugarlight and this is my husband, Berry Farm. And yes, we will be happy to help you find your way around this place, we often travel here, so we know this area quite well. Right, dear?

— Absolutely right. Sugarlight and I have walked around more than one path, so we are sure we can help.

This could not fail to please Starlight, and with a pleased face, she asked.

— It's just fine, then...

Taking out a map, she showed them the marked place and asked.

— Do you happen to know how best to get to this place, and who lives there?

Glancing at the mark on the map, Berry Farm rubbed his chin and said.

— Hmm… It's weird, I'm pretty sure no one lives there. Getting there isn't too difficult, but are you sure you need to go there?

After exchanging glances with Alan, who only shrugged, Starlight nodded and answered.

— Yes, this is exactly the place we were sent to. And we would be grateful if you could give us some small guidelines.

With a shrug, Sugarlight and Berry Farm explained to them the best way to get there, but before they were about to leave, they heard someone's cry for help coming from the forest.

— Aaaah!!! Heeelp! Heelp mee!

The married couple was about to go to the rescue, but Alan and Starlight convinced them that they could do it on their own, so after parting with them, they headed towards the screaming pony, which, judging by the voice, was a young mare.

Having made their way through dense and very tough vegetation, they stopped opposite a thick and viscous swamp, in which they could see a unicorn drowning in it.

Seeing that the situation was serious, Alan spoke first to calm the victim while Starlight began using magic to save her.

— Don't worry Miss, we'll get you out of here.

— Ye... yes! Glory to the stars, someone heard me, I was afraid that I would disappear in this swamp forever.

It was not easy to get the mare, as the swamp turned out to be too viscous, and Starlight was afraid to harm the victim. Seeing this, Alan decided to help, and taking advantage of the fact that the mare was all soiled in mud, and could not see anything, he used the magic of the bracelet, enveloping her with magic, tried to create a kind of bubble, pushing the entire sticky part around the unicorn, making it easier for Starlight to extract the poor mare.

Finally, pulling her out all the way, they landed her on the ground next to them, and took out a towel to help her clear the dirt.

— Wow, thank you, I did not think that the swamps in these places are so…

But she never finished her remark when she saw who saved her, or rather when her gaze fell on Starlight.

— Um... Is there something wrong?

Starlight was a little embarrassed, as she did not understand why this mare was looking at her like that. Finally coming to her senses, the pale green unicorn laughed nervously and answered.

— Oh, yes, I'm sorry. I just... I didn't expect to see the famous Starlight... Glimmer… here.

As if with some difficulty, she pronounced her name, which again confused her and Alan. But determined not to focus on it, Starlight said.

— Oh, well ... I did not expect that I became so famous. Nice to know.

— Yes, you have become quite famous. Well, um... I was glad to meet you.

With these words, she tried to leave, but could not, as the viscous liquid flowed down her hooves glued her feet to the ground, forcing her to fall facedown, causing her severe irritation.

Watching her aggressive attempts to get up, Alan came over and helped her peel off her hooves and then get up. Glancing at him with a frown, she said.

— S... thanks…

— Alan.

— What?

— My name is Alan.

— Oh, yes, I see, and I… um… Sunny, yes! My name is Sunny.

Looking into her eyes, Alan noticed a strange pale green transfusion that reminded him of something, but he could not yet say exactly what it was. Moving away from her with a thoughtful look, Starlight took the floor.

— Miss Sunny, I don't think you should get out of this place on your own. Let us guide you. At the same time, you can help us with something, what do you think?

Hearing this, the mare tensed a little again and quickly answered.

— Oh, you shouldn't. You have already "helped" me notably, so I cannot ask you for more. I'll make it to my cave just fine, oh…

After saying the last part, she closed her mouth abruptly, further confusing Alan and Starlight. Finally, coming out of his stupor, Alan asked.

— So you live in a cave?

— Uh... yes ...?

— Cool. My friend and I also live in a cave. Sounds like we're cave house buddies, don't we?

The mare seemed a little surprised, and answered with a tight smile and a laugh.

— Yes... ha ha... What a coincidence…

— Don't worry, we will not enter your house, but only escort you to be sure that everything is okay with you.

Hearing this, the filly just rolled her eyes and muttered softly to herself.

— Oh, these ponies and their heroic complex... Bluh…

After that, returning to them with a smile, she said.

— Okay, I agree, but just to my place, not a step further, deal?

— Of course.

Starlight answered happily, which surprisingly caused another attack of irritation in the mare. After that, she led the group towards her dwelling.

The only thing this mare did not know was that Alan perfectly heard her words about the heroic pony complex, and therefore he thought about it.

«A pony's heroic complex? What is it about? Sounds like she's not a pony at all... wait...»

Then Alan suddenly remembered how her eyes glinted very familiarly, and finally he remembered where he saw something similar. In his head, brain activity immediately rose, and finally all its oddities fell into place.

«Oh, fuck... It can't be! Just don't tell me that she is...»
