Chapter 9 - Deceptions and Designs

Rayne woke from his sleep before Maud did the next morning. He pulled the blanket off of himself before standing up to stretch. Rayne looked up at the cave light wondering what time it was. “Oh that's right.” He frowned a little. “I guess it's just not important when you work under ground with rocks.” Rayne whispered to himself no longer caring if he thought out loud or not. Rayne looked down over the mare who lay sleeping beside him. He saw her now not as some fictional cartoon character but as he would a real woman. He admired her curvature in the way her side sloped and how her hips arched. He enjoyed the sight of how her bottom rounded and how her legs descended from her torso. “You're beautiful Maud.” He whispered again, kissing her forehead as she slept.

Rayne did feel a morning stir in his loins but he decided to resist the temptation to wake Maud with his carnal desires. While she hadn't complained Rayne could still tell that her body was wearing thin from the repeated coupling with him. As Maud slept Rayne had a full view of her opening between her legs. He could easily see just how very sore and inflamed her tender area was even after resting for several hours. “I was already rough in bed before.” He thought silently. “Let's give the poor girl some mercy from how much worse that's gotten now that I have this big equine body.” Instead he decided to get up and explore a little bit.

Rayne looked around the little setup that Maud had here. “Well, I suppose this is my home now too.” He looked around trying not to be too nosey but still wanting to get a sense for what went where. The first thing he found was a large collection of mining equipment. He was careful not to clang anything that would disturb Maud from sleeping. Next he noticed there seemed to be storage holes hidden under the end of her carpet. First he found a bundle of teal sweaters which he assumed were just Maud’s clothes. Then he found what looked like a food storage. It didn't take him long to get a couple of plates together and he made a small salad with carrots and fruit for them both. Rayne arranged Maud’s plate to look as pretty as he was able and set it down beside where she was still sleeping. Then he took his own plate down near the stream to eat where he wouldn't wake her.

After eating Rayne gave a sigh as he carefully attempted to wash his plate in the water without dropping it down the river. “I'm glad that I already really liked vegetables and salads. That's pretty much all that will be on the menu from now on. I sure will miss having bloody steaks for dinner though.” He sulked softly.

Then Rayne was surprised by a voice calling out to him from the water below. “Oohh, hoo hoo! Well, that certainly is a STRANGE thing for a PONY to want to eat!” Looking down Rayne saw a reflection in the plate staring back at him that was certainly not his own. “Well hello there Mister Mystery Pony! My how you have been BUSY in your short time here. Haven't you?”

Rayne fought his initial instinct to shout and decided instead to just lean back and smile. “Well, Ponyville is a wonderful place. It would be a shame not to enjoy it.” He smirked.

Suddenly the Draconequus materialized himself up out of the plate and looked to Rayne a little disappointed. “Whaaa-? Aren't you surprised to see me suddenly shining in your girlfriend's tableware? What, no loud exclamation of ‘DISCORD?!’” He was almost pouting which just made Rayne chuckle.

“Nope. That's what everypony does when you arrive. And I don't even know why. I mean come on, flashy entrances are your signature thing!”

His eyes went wide as he nodded. “Its true, it's true. It isn't easy you know always coming up with new and unique entrances. I mean really, if you have something truly important and exciting to say to somepony you can't just ‘walk up’ to them about it. Ugh, how boring. Your entrance should equate to the excitement of the news in which you are going to bring.”

Rayne nodded smirking. “I couldn't agree more. And no one is better at surprise entrances than the master of chaos himself.”

Discord definitely smiled at having his ego stroked. He raised a claw saying, “Oh yes, well… when you get to be as great as me you-" Suddenly he stopped in mid sentence as if realizing something and then he glared down at Rayne with literal flames burning in his eyes. “Now listen here you impersonating, pony, punk! Don't you dare try using that suave smooth talking on me buster! I came here to remind you that your antics are allowed because ‘I’ allow them to be! I let you come here without blowing the whistle on you because I thought that something new might be interesting. And I admit that I got a little distracted from watching you because Celestia got caught up trying to study some very old magic. But I did not expect to leave you alone and come back to find you having seduced half the town in only a single day!” He roared.

“MmmNmlmMm...” They both looked back to Maud’s sleeping area after hearing her mumbling softly from Discord’s shouts.

“Could you maybe take us somewhere else please Discord?” Rayne asked softly. “Maud was up late last night so I want her to get her rest.”

Discord gave a very flat looking scowl. “Oh and I WONDER why that would be.” He whisperingly spat. But soon after he did indeed raise his claw and snapped his fingers teleporting them both away. Rayne looked around at the oddly shifting black and purple space around him with the only solid mass in sight being a small cottage which he recognized to be the front door of the Draconequus’ home. As they approached Discord mumbled, “Erer well… maybe you have a point that until I decide if I'm turning you in or not it might be best to keep our conversations away from where even magical eyes can see. I assume that you know where we are already?” He asked rolling his eyes.

Rayne just nodded and said, “This might surprise you Discord but if you could see the castle I built in ‘The End’ of my Minecraft server back home then you would find out that we both have rather similar tastes.” Discord quirked an eyebrow as he walked with Rayne inside. Looking around Rayne decided to make himself comfortable on the couch and then turned to the Draconequus asking, “So what was the reason why you wanted to speak to me?”

Discord changed to an outfit of what looked to be a friendly social worker or day care lady. “Oh I just wanted to check in and see how you were? See if you're settling in ok? See how you were going to handle it if you end up accidentally impregnating as many ponies as you flirt with in town?” He asked sounding nonchalant but with a pointed glare. Rayne grimaced not having considered that possibility. “Oh don't worry. I don't want that to happen any more than you do.” Discord continued before suddenly pulling a small vial of green liquid from a pocket he made in his chest. “Here drink this. It will keep all your little ones inside you where they belong since I assume there will be no stopping you from parading around between the mares of this small town. You can ask for the antidote at any time should you ever decide to settle down and start behaving yourself.”

Rayne knew there’d be no point in not trusting Discord so he reached over the table to take the vial. “I thank you for your foresight. Do I have to worry about Maud?”

“Oh no, no. Even after your recent exploits she is still fine, don't worry.” He waved, suddenly materializing a set of matryoshka stacking dolls that each showed a depiction of a younger and younger Rayne as they got smaller. The stallion stared at the Draconequus quite disapprovingly.

“Actually Discord…” Rayne began. “I was hoping you would appear for me to speak with you soon anyways. I appreciate this,” he said drinking the potion, “but I have another favor I need to ask you.”

“My, aren't we needy in the mornings?” Discord chuckled.

“I need you to teach me how to use magic.” Rayne said bluntly. He wasn't surprised when Discord’s smile comically fell off of his face and shattered on the floor like a piece of glass. “I didn't know that I was a unicorn until somebody mentioned it last night. My horn isn't exactly in my field of vision to see it.” He reached up tapping at the odd fleshy bone structure protruding from his skull.

The shattered pieces of Discord’s mouth spoke on their own, “Don’t play with it, you'll go blind.” After that he scooped up and reattached his mouth to where it should be. “Hmm, I assume that you're worried the others might find a pony at your age being unable to control magic to be a bit suspicious? Hmm?”

“Yes, Captain Obvious.” Rayne sulked. He felt no need to be embarrassed about it in front of someone who knew he wasn't from this world but he certainly didn't want anyone else finding out.

“Oh, very well. But let's make this quick. I do have other places to be and I certainly can't be in two places at once. Oh wait, that's right I can.” He snickered as two other Discords stepped out of him and then separately teleported themselves away. “Now, let's get to your magical education.” Suddenly the room around Rayne was changed to look like a high school basketball gym and he was sitting in a wooden desk chair. Discord stood behind a podium wearing an old fashioned Principal's robe. Reaching into his robe he pulled out a pair of reading glasses and what looked like a textbook. “Alright now let us begin. Ahem, magic is the study of…” After less than the first line he suddenly stopped and scoffed, “oh this is already boring. Look, magic is something that ponies spend their entire lives studying and I certainly am not going to stand here to teach you for the rest of yours. You don't need to be the best spellcaster in Equestria, you just need to be caught up with other ponies around your age. Why don't you just tell me what it is that you want to learn?”

Rayne smiled, “I knew that you would be practical about this. Don't worry, I'm only really looking for three things. Telekinesis, teleportation and transformation. The rest I can learn later… or not. Whatever.”

“Ooooh reeeeally?!” Discord asked, stretching his neck out around Rayne to look him over. “You want JUST those three things? Hmm… why?” He ended sharply.

Rayne raised an eyebrow having thought this would have gone smoother with Discord. “Well moving things around is kind of 101 for unicorns. I can't even eat without using my hooves.”

Discord raised a claw to his chin and nodded. “Hmm, yes. That makes.”

Rayne continued saying, “And I would have thought that the nearly all powerful, master of chaos, Discord would understand the desire for teleportation. Walking can be so tedious when you can just teleport around instead.”

“Oh yes, that is such a dreary business walking. I always avoid it when I can.” The Draconequus shuddered.

“And lastly transformation because that is the one field of magic I am most interested in.” Rayne announced but upon seeing Discord's skeptical gaze he realized being vague wasn't going to work here. “You know… shape changing.” He mumbled quickly.

“Shape changing?!” Discord bellowed and suddenly the entire mock school gym they were in shattered to pieces. “I'm terribly sorry but you ask for too much. The other two are fine, all I have to do is unlock the latent potential in your horn. But only the most powerful of ponies master shape changing and the true secrets of that art is reserved for me alone!” He snapped as the two of them floated down into the seats of his living room.

Rayne thought for a moment, “Okay, that's fair. I can respect that and I certainly don't want to be stepping on any Draconequus toes.” He stood and stepping around Discord so that he could learn around his over side, just as Discord did to him with his long neck before. “Then how about just one form? Don't teach me transformation at all. Just let me be able to change back and forth between one specific form?” Rayne grinned encouragingly.

Discord looked unconvinced and teleported out from around the dark pony. “Oh this is absurd. Why would I ever agree to let you change your form anyways? What's in it for me?”

Now Rayne was genuinely excited to say, “Because you and I can hang out…” he laughed seeing Discord's disappointed expression but finished saying, “and that's a good thing because I am interested in a few of your interests that the other guys in town aren't.” Discord was trying to stay grumbly but Rayne saw that he was curious. “I'm talking about on guys night. Now I admit, playing the Draconequus version of Ogres and Oubliettes would be a lot of fun but I'm not talking about tabletop dice rolling. I think it would be a blast to have a night on the town with the master of disharmony! Jazz, zoot suits, a little gambling... this pony is down with all that jive.

Discord at first did seem quite elated. “Really?! You mean we can be like the famous Nicholas brothers, Fayard and Harold, tearing up the dance floor together?!" However his negative attitude finally showed before Rayne could respond. "Oh, well it figures that it would take an out of worlder for that to happen.”

Rayne just stepped right up to him and in his most cheeky grin said, “That's right.”

Discord pulled back and thought for a moment. He overdramatically debated with himself as he held his chin and pulled his horns. Then he popped up four more of himself as they all whispered together in a huddle. Finally after leaving Rayne waiting for long enough he turned towards the stallion and cheered out, “I accept!”

Being no fool Rayne was quick to extend his hoof and say, “Then let's shake and have it then.”

Discord absentmindedly returned the gesture, holding Rayne’s hoof as he counted, “One, two, three!” Each time he counted a wave of light shot down Discord's arm and up Rayne's leg until it swirled around his horn. Then Discord let him go and smiled joyously. “There! You should be all set! Now, just to give it a little test.” He said looking around. Snapping his fingers a tea kettle and two filled tea cups magically appeared.. “Oh now while I COULD just reach out over there and grab the teacup myself. Although that's just SO boring and unimaginative. It would be so much nicer for it to just... lift, and then float conveniently right to me.” He stated with Rayne watching the cup do just as he said, just as he said it. Rayne looked at the second cup which remained on the table and Discord continued, “Don't try to force it, this isn't a Twilight Sparkle lesson. Just reach out for it without using your hoof. I've always found that having a little bit of attitude to your commands always helps magic to flow more naturally.”

Rayne listened and could see how that would make sense. Glancing at the table he reached out but only with his desire for the teacup and said, “Lift… and drift,” he rhymed with a smile as the cup rose and floated elegantly to him until he held it in his hoof, “because that is what I wanted it to do.” He said with attitude and a confident smile, now sipping his tea proudly.

“Marvelous! Marvelous! Oh you're a natural. Now, teleportation is easy! You just… I'm sitting here and… now in standing here.” He said as he popped from his seat to the other side of the table.

Rayne then concentrated, “I'm sitting here and…” but try as he might he didn't move.

“No, no, no! ATTITUDE remember?!" Discord exclaimed. “Don’t try to move yourself, just change where you believe you are. For instance, right now I'm standing here. But now, wait I'm not here anymore because I believe I am over there.” With a pop and a pop he was by the door.

Rayne thought for a moment. “Hmm. Attitude huh? Well, I'm not sitting here on this couch anymore. I'm-" Then Rayne was surprised as there was a snap and he was standing just like he thought he would be in front of Discord.

“PERFECT!” The Draconequus shouted. “Now you're beginning to understand. I wouldn't be as powerful as I am without my sense of humor and bold cockiness. Its confidence that powers magic while self doubt disables it. Remember that my boy.” Rayne nodded. However now the stallions expression seemed to change, even before the Draconequus continued. “Now… I believe you had one more reque- Oh yes! You wanted to change your shape. Now here you DO need to be careful. That spell I gave you will only allow you to choose your form once. After that you won't be able to alter it so think carefully. All you have to do is-" Discord blinked in surprise as the stallion suddenly started to shine.

Dark smoke enveloped the pony circling around him. Rayne called out but his voice was just slightly deeper. “I should… imagine myself as my alternate form and then ‘believe’ that that is what I am?” He chuckled. When the smoke cleared Rayne stretched out, never having felt that he had fit his skin so well before.

Discord looked positively stunned. “Oh my, why… that isn't a pony at all.”

- Later that morning -

Suddenly there was a chime from the door at Carousel Boutique. Rayne stepped in flipping his dark mane handsomely as he opened the door. But then he immediately recoiled in surprise wondering why it was so dark inside. Suddenly a resounding voice cried out dramatically, “WHY ISN'T HE VISITING MEEEEE! WAHHHHHH!!! … Oh wait, who's that at the door?” Suddenly in an almost seamless action the lights turned on, two empty boxes of ice cream were magically pushed away into a back room, and Rarity darted away with a messy crying face before darting back looking pristine as if nothing had happened. “Hello and welcome to Carousel Boutique. Oh monsieur Rayne, what a pleasant surprise. I hadn't expected you to come and see me so soon.”

Standing next to Rarity’s crying couch was Fluttershy who looked a little surprised that so much had changed so fast. But then after listening to Rarity speak she giggled and started stepping towards the door seeing that she was no longer needed. “She’s really been looking forward to seeing you. It's nice to finally speak to you Rayne. Maybe we'll talk more again sometime, I'll leave you two alone now.”

Rarity growled out feeling embarrassed, “Thank you FRIEND!” After Fluttershy left though, Rarity shook it off and smiled to the handsome stallion. “Eh heh, yes well, it is good to see you again. Especially without everypony crowding around. How are you today?”

Rayne smiled and walked up to her. “Oh its been an eventful morning. I'm learning a lot about how wonderful it is to live here. I've made many new friends thanks to Pinkie's party. I got a great job that I start next week once they've done a little advertising for my new position. I really couldn't be happier right now.”

“Oh I am simply relieved that everything is going so smoothly for you. Please darling, if there is anything that I can do for you as well then please let me know.” Rarity offered as they smiled together.

“Well as a matter of fact, I could use some help with my wardrobe.” Rayne said.

“Oh well of course! I would be happy to style that wide, masculine, figure of yours.” Rarity giggled, trying to lay on the charm for her customer while batting her eyelashes. Rayne could respect that she seemed much more confident while standing in her own boutique. “So what sort of look would you like to go for? Something dashing? Something modern?” She asked while she started pulling out design patterns.

Rayne tried to sound nonchalant as he made a very purposeful reference. “Oh well you see, there was this issue from Vanity Mare some many seasons ago. I doubt that such a successful fashionista like yourself would remember. But it had an article about the most beautiful manes in Equestria.” Rarity had her back to Rayne at that moment because she had been laying out mannequins, design sheets and various fabrics. However as soon as the headline was mentioned Rarity and all of the objects she had been moving suddenly froze in place.

Rayne took this as a good sign and continued, “I had never seen a pony look SO beautiful before. I didn't even know anything about fashion at the time. But at that moment I couldn't help but purchase the magazine and read through page after page about you. Not only were you completely tantalizingly to behold but there you were helping every pony in town. Beautiful and generous, I admit I became quite infatuated with you. At the time I thought I was almost falling in love with a magazine.” Rayne chuckled at the end, as if it were some silly childish notion.

Rarity on the other hand was not experienced with Rayne’s tactics and her inexperienced mind was nervously hearing what it wanted to. “In love?!” She gasped as every levitated object in the room came crashing to the floor. She did her best to clear the quivering from her voice despite the fact that her hooves were still shaking. “Oh I was just having a rebellious attitude to an unfortunate set of circumstances back then.” She chuckled while checking that her mane was still neat. “Are you saying that you are wanting a sort of punkish look like I had in that magazine?”

Rayne stepped closer to her asking, “Sort of. Do I detect a hint of disappointment in your voice lady Rarity?”

She smiled and with a sense of whimsy replied, “Oh well, there's nothing wrong with that. I would be happy to style you up as the most rugged devil that Equestria has ever seen! It's just, you're so classy and elegant for a stallion and the punk look just doesn't seem to suit you.” She ended with one or her iconic whines.

Rayne was unphased. “Heh, heh. Then perhaps I should clarify a bit more. I'm not looking for metal spikes and hipster trends. I want a blend of styles. Now imagine that aggressive punk fashion, maybe even a gothic flare if you will… and combine that with the look of a long western duster draped over a dark stallion. I have always preferred the look of the dark knight to the gallant hero. But wearing armor on an everyday basis would be so impractical.”

Rarity considered his imagery for a moment. “Something full covering like a long coat… given an edgy alternative style… but that can still be respectable. A modern day dark knight but in a practical yet mysterious style. Hmmm. OH, I've got it! It's superb! Oh how dashing! Oh Rarity, why didn't you ever think of this before?!” She shouted excitedly as her creative genius took over. Suddenly measuring tapes were lifted all around Rayne and then she went to hurriedly scribbling down numbers on a design sheet. “Oh yes, this is going to look just the right amount of dangerous but just the right amount of handsome indeed! Oh but I suppose this IS still going to require quite a lot of black. If this were made into a collection then it wouldn't look as radiant as it would as just an individual piece.” She debated with herself as her artistic dreaming clashed with her fashionista experience.

Rayne had been listening in of course as she was ranting to herself and decided to add in. “You know, if you are worried about a signature piece becoming another ‘princess dress‘ scenario then you could pair each design with a white opposite to each black counterpart. That would give more diversity for color and maybe double sales for ponies who wanted both of the set?”

Rarity stopped as she processed this and then absolutely cheered, “Why that is a fantastic idea! Oooh Rayne you fill me with such marvelous inspiration!” She giggled with glee as she began sketching concept images.

“That's not all I want to fill you with.” Rayne snickered.

Rarity hummed away, already having the basic outline of four different outfits assembled. “Hmmhmhmmm. Um, what was that?” She asked.

“Oh, nothing, nothing really.”

Rarity nodded but then she suddenly stopped working. She turned towards him which made Rayne nervous for a moment. “But wait, what do you mean another princess dress scenario? I thought you said you didn't know anything about fashion.”

Rayne didn't delay as he stepped right up to her. “I don’t. But I know a lot about the beautiful pony that knocked me off my hooves.”

“Oh my, there it goes feeling warm again in here hehe. I must say, you make working conditions very difficult while you are around monsieur Rayne.” She giggled while trying to lean her mane back off of her neck.

Rayne decided that now was his time to make his move. “Listen, how about we put all this work down for a moment? You have my design and my measurements. You can always come back to it. I want to talk to you. Not the fashion designer, not the pony from the magazine. I want to talk to the real Rarity, the enchanting mare that is standing here in front of me.”

The light gray pony’s eyes went wide as she just stood there stunned. After a brief pause she squeaked out as if holding her breath, “Could you excuse me for one moment please?” Then in a blur she shot away into her back room where her main workshop was. The door hadn't even closed behind her yet when Rayne could hear her start giddily squealing to herself. “Oh my gosh, it's really happening! A handsome stallion is actually here in my boutiquette asking about ME! Calm down Rarity, this isn't a dream and you are keeping him waiting! You've got to be calm and cool so that he will like you for the lady you are. You can do this!”

**Author's Ending Note** So one of my favorite parts of this chapter is how Rayne absolutely pulls one over on Discord. He even tells Rayne not to sweet talk him but our protagonist still manages to swindle a hefty deal from the Draconequus. But I would love to hear from the readers. What have been your favorites scenes in the story so far?
Also it looks like Rayne is finally alone with Rarity. What do you think is going to happen? How do you think it is going to go? Only one way to find out. Thank you for reading!!!
