#1 of Master Rain

What is Rain, one stallion living in the world just trying to get by, to do when given an option to live a life one could only dream of. But the only way is through a harem cubs. And why would this mysterious "Showers" give Rain such an opportunity? Only one way to find out.


This is the long awaited story I've been meaning to post for months and after a very very long time, its finally coming out. This one is for RainStorm who has been nothing short of a pillar of patience with me. Rain, I surely hope this story has lived up to the wait because I really want to honor you for this one. You're an incredible sweet heart.

Ch.2 will be posted the day after this is posted on SF


"Okay I need to get some eggs... Biscuits... And I think possibly some pancake mix but I think we've had too much of that lately. What do you think girls?" The red stallion asked his little entourage as he looked over his list in one of the isles.

"You know I never get enough of your chocolate pancakes!" Said the little gray mare of the group.

"I'd rather have some hotdogs or turkey!"

"I want some pickles instead!"

"Wheat grass!"

The girls crowding around the young stud all argued. All except for one, who kept quite and slid between her friends, closing the distance between her and him. She reached for a zipper placed below the whole for his tale and opened up the way to his puckered hole and dangling swollen balls. Without much coursing, she took the large jewels into her mouth, packing her cheeks full of the studs sweat sack. He tried to ignore the pleasant sensation and focus on the task at hand but it was becoming quite difficult, especially with a growing erection that wasn't going to play nice.

"Hey! That's not fair! It's my turn Jessica! I was next in line for some action!" blurted the little Dhole who caught her first. The mare, Jessica, looked back at her, mouth still firmly full of nuts and not letting go. "Its my turn!" Jessica spat the balls out, now coated in her saliva, causing them to dangle freely and for all the world to see.

"You all skipped my turn so I'm taking advantage and having my turn." She reached behind her without turning around and grabbed the bulge of his cock as it tried to burst free from its prison. "Here... You can have the lovely cock milk I'll work up from him... I want more..." She said dreamily as she eyed the heavily musky sack.

"Well since you two can't come to an agreement, I think its only fair the rest of us get to have fun while you two just step aside!" Rain felt a pair of hands grab each of his balls. "Jaydee and Eris can each get one while I get some alone time with his cock... I want to see how much I can pump out of it with my chest this time!" She swung her tits to emphasize her point. The lesser endowed girls glared at her.

Rain didn't fight back or try to resist the sex crazed cubs obsessing and fighting over who gets to do what with his easy to get at privates. Anyone in the store walked by, waving or greeting Rain as he walked around with his balls exposed and a gaggle of naked young girls arguing over him. In the very beginning, Rain couldn't hide his embarrassment. The thought of wandering eyes looking at him while he tried to hold back only to fail. But never once seeing anything less than a happy hello or complement from everyone that was around. The cum stains they'd end up leaving on the store by the time they left. The hundreds of hours he'd spent together with the girls either at home or in town, desperately giving out as much seed as he could to any of their hungry mouths.

"Okay okay girls, calm down. I have an easy fix for this." Rain told the girls as they walked out of the store with their snacks, treat and foods. He set his two bags down and pulled the remainder of the zipper up to the button of his pants, displaying his excited cum dripping cock."I'll give all of you some and later I'll randomly pick who gets to spend the night with me in bed, but ONLY if you behave yourselves for the rest of the day. Do anything I don't like and you'll be banned from ball worshiping, understood?"

Without a moment of hesitation, they all eagerly shook their heads "yes". He sighed, happy they'd quit arguing. Owning up to his word, he began stroking his shaft in the middle of the busy street while the girls all grouped up, on their knees and mouths wide open for their giff. The ball play from earlier and before had worked him up to frenzy as pre-cum dribbled down the shaft, acting as lube for him to go faster. He looked down at all five of his little sweethearts, innocent blue eyes staring back at him as the first waves of cum sputtered out of his flaring cock head. Thick streams of cum splattered over each of the girls, coating their faces, chests and outstretched begging hands. Their naked bodies having no protecting against the onslaught of thick jizz. They all laughed as they began to lick the fresh cum off of each other, trying not to fight like Rain ordered them to but enjoy the tickling sensations of one another's tongues on their bodies. Rain watched on with a deep burning in the back of his mind that tried to bring his deflated meat back to life after just finishing.

"When we get home, let's all have a little bit of fun, what do you say?" He found himself saying with no remorse. His response from them were loud screams of approval as they rushed to a large black limo parked just outside of the store. As he stepped inside with everyone, he reminisced about how he got to where he is now. How he lost his home, came here and learned about the person who'd put him in this situation...

______________________________________________________________________________________

"Attention passengers, we will be arriving at our destination in an estimated six and a half hours."

Rain had been considering a lot of things during his flight. His mind buzzed with all sorts of questions on where he's going and what he's going to be doing if things really went the way he hoped, or at the very least imagined.

Rain turned his attention from the window to look around at the other passengers. The flight was pretty empty, save for a couple of smallish groups of friends and or maybe family. One group was composed of a Raccoon, giraffe, hippo and a lion. All young looking, maybe just getting out of high school or going to college he guessed.

'They seem nice.' He thought to himself as they talked happily amongst themselves, not noticing him in the slightest. They reminded him a bit of his old high school days not so long ago, minus the riding on the plane. Just a bunch of friends laughing together and enjoying each other's time. He couldn't help but crack a smile and chuckle as he turned and leaned back into his seat. 'Those days are long gone.' The thought left a small bitter tone in his mouth.

Rain remembered his old life as a farm boy in the far country in the south, having to juggle working at jobs, working on the farm and learning in school all at once. The days he wanted to spend doing one thing was on another. To him, all of it seemed to just fly by. The farm was gone, his parents moved to the city and there he was, with friends who knew what they wanted to do while he was still thinking.

Though he wasn't to upset over it. He welcomed the idea of working and figuring things out. He didn't want to be a hassle to his parents so he moved out when he could find a steady job and do what he could while getting by. High school was done and he was already back to working and doing jobs around town. It wasn't the best life, nor the most rewarding, but still something he could be happy with. That is until he got some good news and bad news in the mail Sunday morning.

'Eviction. Of all things to worry me...' The manager of the building called every single tenant that day. After maybe twenty minutes of yelling, screaming and crying, he told everyone that the building was so under worked, that they had to shut it down and get everyone out. He gave everyone a check to help but it wouldn't do much.

At least not for Rain. While some of them shacked up and started looking, or went back to their families to live, he didn't have many choices. Money was already spread thin and he couldn't travel to his parents place. Made him regret not going with them when they decided to move again. He knew some of his neighbours well but finding a new place would take to long and asking to live with someone's family felt to invasive. But his ray of hope was right there on his kitchen counter, in the form of a letter.

"Dear Rain,

I know you must be quite curious as to who I am. We are related. Though it is very, very distant, we still share the same blood. If you don't believe me I can tell you, you've had no sexual experiences in the past year, knew a family called the Bakers growing up in your old town before you moved, kissed your cousin once on her lips at a family gathering in secret by accident and you broke your arm when you were 12.

Do not be afraid. I'm offering you an opportunity that I think you'd find very satisfactory compared to your current situation. You will not need to work anymore. You will not have to struggle anymore. You'll have a home with a warm bed, all the money you'd ever need. But you'll need to come to my personal abode. Leave behind anything you don't hold precious. There is a plane ticket in the envelope and a description of the person you are going to meet. They will explain things further.

Love,

Showers."

At first Rain was understandably scared out of his wits by the incredibly intrusive facts from his past being thrown at him in the letter. On the other hand, with the few to no other real options available, he made his choice. Against his better judgement, he followed through.

And here he is now, watching movies in first class and eating some of the best food he's had in possibly weeks if not the last month.

"Pardon me sir," Rain's ears perked up at the voice. He turned to see his air hostess, a stout but well rounded female boar in a red and white uniform. She smiled and let out a giggle as he sat up at attention. "It's time for dinner. What would you care for? We have pasta alfredo and a lovely fish sandwich with a side of fries. Or would you care for both?" She winked at him as after asking the last question. He couldn't help but smile back at her. She'd been flirting with him the whole trip and he truly enjoyed the attention.

"I believe I'll have both miss Pauline." Rain wasn't one to talk about being shy, but the small shade of dark fur along her nose brightened as clear as day to him. She rapidly nodded, trying to avoid eye contact and scurry away to the cockpit a few rows down from him. He didn't consider himself to be unattractive but the action was incredibly flattering. A tall, red brown stallion, he never really felt like he could date with the little time he had to himself, either during school or years later living by himself. 'Okay, enough thinking about the past. If whatever is going on is really going to be some kind of miracle from this Showers person... Then I need to focus on the future. Definitely need to be ready for whatever he or she might want from me. Or make me do.'

Taking a deep breath, he emptied his mind for the time being and just take in the calming moments at the moment. Rain stood up and pulled out his backpack from the case above his seat and sat it beside him. Of the few things he took along with him: His wallet with some sentimental pictures, his first set of headphones he bought after he moved, a small notebook he'd either doodle or write into, a tablet and his phone. He plugged his headphones into his phone just as Pauline came back with his meals.

"Here you go! Two nice hot meals! Let me know if you need anything else, I'll just be a small button press away!" She gave him one last smile before heading back down to the back of the plane before he got the chance to thank her. Rain stood back up to stretch, feeling his muscles flex and bones pop and place his bag back in the compartment. WIth that done, he got as comfortable as he could in his seat, place his headphones on as his music started and watched the movie playing in front of him as he ate.

'In a few hours, things might be... Will change in big ways. All I can do for now is just take in the peaceful moments before it.

And so he did. He relished in his food, enjoyed the soft musical background while watching the movie and before he slept, looking outside to see the vast dark scenery of the skyline and the world below him. Those being the last thing he sees before falling into a deep sleep.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

All around, other passengers were out like lights, dreaming of anything from what their destinations would be like to the most obscure realities.

Unlike the rest of them, Rain's having his own dream happening in reality. Sitting right between his legs is Pauline with his cock in hand and playing with it and herself while he sat back moaning in and out of sleep. She's all but entranced by the piece of meat in her hands and the taste of pre cum that bubbled into her mouth.

'I knew I made the right choice when I put a dose of that stuff in the passenger's food!' She thought deviously to herself. She pulled out her phone and with his floppy cock pressed against her cheek, she took of picture of herself. She let go of him and tapped away at the screen before diverting her attention back to Rain. 'Easiest three hundred dollar's I've ever made! Find this stud on the plane, make sure he eats some of that sleeping stuff! And I get to take a picture of his cock to show off! Now...' She looked back at his lonely cock and played with her slit as it begged for more attention. She grabbed it again, this time more firmly and pumped it slowly, feeling the thick veins bulge at her touch and watching cum bubble up at the tip.

Her phone vibrated in her hand before she could do any more.

"Thank you for your work. Your compensation will be sent to you by tomorrow morning at the latest. Obviously I shouldn't need to say this but you are refrained from doing any other action to him. If you do, I'll make sure you lose your job. If you do not, we'll pay you an extra three hundred. We'll know."

Pauline sighed bitterly and set Rain's cock back into his pants but when that didn't work she just slid it under his shirt. "Sorry cutie... But that money means a lot more to me than having some more fun with you. Such a shame to..." Done with her business, she silently walked away from the scene and back to the passengers in the lower classes. What the poor woman didn't know she was being watched the entire time by every single other passenger in first class as they feigned sleep. None of them said or did anything after she left.

Whatever this mysterious "Showers" person wants from Rain, it's not something the poor stallion could possibly imagine...

____________________________________________________________________________________________

"Come on Rain! Pump me harder!" A little Dhole girl screamed as she took the entirety of Rain's cock. Her little tummy bulging from the excessive meat invading her tight snatch down to the last inch. She huffed and mewed as the bigger male slammed into her little hole while the rest of his harem watched on. The watched with amazement as he slammed his whole weight into her, no remorse or care for her tiny body. He looked down with focuses as at her back, the feeling of his heavy build up sack. A few more pumps and he let out a predatory roar as steamy fresh cum seeped into her folds. She begged and screamed for more as he cervix tried to hold against the vicious volley of cum hitting it.

Pulling out left a steamy trail of horse seed, leaving behind an exhausted Dhole cub to pass out as cum leaked onto the king sized bed she was bred on. He turned to the rest as they eyed the slick, shiny meat, a hunger in their eyes that they wanted to fill.

"Come and clean it up girls..." He smiled as they all rushed over, kissing and licking his warm cum and his little friends juices. The attention traveled down to his quickly refilling balls. The kissed, some with lipstick, leaving trails of love pecks all around, mixing their spit together with the remaining juices. Mary, the only cow of the group, used her endowments to capture his shaft between her tits and stroke him back to his excited state, pulsating with life and fresh adrenaline. "Now... Who's next?" He asked with a smile on his face.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Upon waking up, Rain felt his morning wood springing out from under his shirt. Embarrassed that someone might have seen him as he is and confused as to why his cock was out and under his shirt, he tucked as much of himself as he could back into its rightful place. Not even a few minutes into waking up he wished he could "relieve" himself but his options were few and far between so he did his best to represent his urges.

'Dang... Less than an hour now...' He double checked to see if anyone else was awake and felt relieved to see it was only him at the moment. No sign of any attendants walking around either. 'When was the last time I even... I guess if I have to ask, it has been a long while. Just gotta try and wait it out.' The pain in his full balls made it a bit of a challenge. He took deep calming breaths to get his body to relax and his mind off the subject. Even with everything going on, he came up with all sorts of crazy scenarios. Old cult wanting his blood for sacrifices, Mafia family connections looking for new leaders. He laughed off the crazy thoughts. 'Think I might be watching to many movies again. Dreaming of being a godfather is cool but not really a fit for him.

Peering out the window gave him breathtaking view. A deep blue, clear sky speckled with stars being overtaken with a combination of orange and purple light from the sunrise. The familiar 'ping' of the PA system came to life.

"Attention folks, this is your co-captain speaking. We'll be landing in Magton airport ahead of schedule thanks to the steady weather we've been having. Please buckle your seatbelts and get ready for landing."

Rain followed the instructions and placed all his belongings back inside his backpack. He could hear the rest of the passengers being woken up while he was already ready. As calm as he tried to be, the twinge of fear in his stomach still bothered him...

"Sir?" His ears perked up and he turned to see Pauline with her hand on his shoulder and a smile on her face. "We'll be landing soon. Are you comfortable?" She leaned down and whispered. "Want me to sneak you a last minute bite to eat?"

"Haha. No, no thank you, I'm okay..."

"Is something troubling you? Whats wrong?"

"Oh nono! I'm fine! Well... Actually... I just have a lot off my mind and I'm a little anxious with an, ummm. An acquaintance I have to see when I land. I just really hope they're there." Rain could feel himself feeling a little lighter from telling her how he's feeling but stopped himself from going on."

Pauline nodded while doing her best to resist the urge to chuckle and feeling a little bit of regret with not helping him relax when she had him in her capable hands.

"Sounds like you have quite a lot on your mind. Well," She took a moment to remember some sage advice she was told a long time ago. "no matter what's in front of you, don't be afraid. Charge on and face it down like you know you're gonna conquer it!" She emphasized her point with a small pump of her fist.

Rain took the advice and let it sink in for a few seconds before smiling

"Kinda reminds me of the sayings I used to hear in my old neighbour by some sweet old folks I knew." He laughed a bit. The air felt lighter and a little bit of the worry he'd been building up had finally went away. Just talking with a nice stranger who didn't know anything about him... Really helped ease his mind a bit."

His attende friend gave him her own smile in return before leaving to go about her business. 'Charge forward... Yeah. Think I can do something like that.' Rain peaked outside the window to see the land started getting closer. 'Alright, let's do this!'

"Thank you for traveling with Imperim Airlines. We hope you enjoyed your time with us as much as we did with you. We hope to offer our services to you again in the future!"

The airport, even as early as it was in the morning, was a fairly barren place from what Rain could tell from the few people around. Not counting the group of people he knew were coming off the plane, there was barely a handful around. He was thankful so few were around because he spotted someone holding up a sign with his name written in very skillful, if not a little hard to read, cursive handwriting. He wasn't sure if the multicolor of small paws around his name were for fun or to really grab his attention.

Rain approached the sign holder.

"Its a pleasure-" He tried to offer his hand but they ushered him to follow as they walked to the entrance before he could continue. '... To meet you...' With no other option, he followed behind them, gripping the strap of his bag slightly tighter than before. 'Just charge head on.'

Stepping outside the airport doors introduced Rain to an incredible view. Almost complete deep green grassland covered the ground in front of him. The skies looked like the prettiest shade of baby blue he's ever seen, big healthy trees that would be better suited for a farm speckled the ground combined with countless leaves that'd been blown away by the strong but pleasant winds. Something inside Rain felt incredibly at home just from the view alone. The beat of the wind, the sun rays beaming down strong... He took in a deep breath and let out a deep sigh that he almost didn't want to end.

However his enjoyment was redirected by a polite small cough to get his attention. The person who was holding the sign was now holding the door to a nice large, black limousine. He was so busy with the view he hadn't even notice the car until now. Rain had always wanted to drive in one but his small home nor the large city let him have the opportunity. Rain practically hopped into the car only to be further impressed with what's inside. A ruby red carpeted interior that looked and felt absolutely perfect. The air condition was on and it almost tickled him with how perfect and controlled it felt. He was almost tired of sitting after riding a plane for most of the day and following night but he found it hard to complain considering the nice conditions he's been placed in.

Like a ghost, his new acquaintance seemingly drifted from the now closed door to the front, already in place and revving the engine to life.

"Welcome to Ridgetop plaza, Master Rain." The feminine voice from his driver caught him off guard. Her tight and non form fitting clothes deflected any indication of possible curves or any hint there of. She turned around to give Rain a clearer look at her face. An older female Schnauzer with her muzzle beginning to gray slightly but the fire in her eyes would make anyone reconsider any age that was in their head. "My name is Victoria." She smiled. "I hope we can get along happily from now on."

Rain didn't immediately respond as the car went into motion, internalizing the fact she addressed him as "Master". Her eyes were focused more on the road like any careful driver should be doing. The ride went on for a few distilled minutes between the two of them until Rain finally broke the uncomfortable silence.

"It's... A pleasure to meet you as well miss Victoria." He straightened up his posture out of reflex to the older woman out of respect and old habits. "But I have to ask this: If you actually did say this and I'm not just dizzy from jet lag... Why did you call me "Master Rain"?"

Once again, silence filled the long drive. Rain wasn't sure what else he could say. The limitless amount of questions in his head were pushed to the side thanks to an odd title being attached to his name. He glanced at the rear view mirror to see if she'd been looking at him but instead of that, with the added relief he felt seeing her eyes firmly on the road, there was a coy, knowing smile on her muzzle like she was expecting it.

"My, you're more of a gentleman than I would have expected, if I may be quite honest with you sir. Good to see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Victora chuckled but cut herself off. "Though, it wouldn't be fair to say that. Or... Its harder to say that really. You and madam Showers are just barely from the same blood." She glanced up at the sky, her smile replaced with an annoyed look. "Damnable rain. I can feel it in my bones..."

While she complained, Rain tried to take in the bits of new information Victoria just told him. Did she expect someone more rude? What kind of person did they think he was? Who exactly is this Victoria? How does she know Showers? Who is Showers?

Rain suddenly felt tired. His head felt heavier than he remembered while gravity threatened to pull it right off his shoulders. From his seat, he just caught himself from falling forward into the free space in front of him.

"Oh my. I'm dreadfully sorry! You've been through so much all at once and me prattling on musn't be helping you. Please do try and get some rest Master Rain. I promise you, you won't want to sleep through what madam Showers has in store for you when we arrive home. Here," She fiddled with the radio by her and the sound of some on air radio host talked about something Rain wasn't really interested in. "some light background noise to help you sleep." He did his best to stay awake but it was becoming harder to do so.

'Is the jet lag finally catching up to me...? My head feels funny...' Raid leaned back and tried to concentrate on the host saying something about local news but the words weren't even reaching his ears anymore. He tried to stay awake: shaking his head, pinching his arms and legs and even using his imagination to play out and remember entire movies. But it was too late. Rain was out like a light.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Soft... Tender... Careful...

Rain bolted up, awake with eyes wide open and his heart beat ringing in the back of his ears. His breath was short and found it hard to breath. The air around him felt muggy and thick like a swamp during a strong summer after a night of heavy rain. Every part of his body was drenched in his sweat, soaking his clothes and causing them to stick to his body. The heat surrounding him felt like summer kicked into overdrive and became more unbearable. He wheezed while waving his arms, struggling to get his driver's attention for a second with one hand as he tried to remove the belt around him. It wasn't until the next light that she stopped and noticed.

"Rain, what's wro-" Victoria cut herself off as she rolled down the window between them and felt an awful wave of heat crash into her face first. Before the light in front cold turn green, she fiddled with the dashboard and Rain felt the heat changed back into a proper and dearly needed cold blast of air conditioning.

"T-thank you..." He squeezed out through his current dried husk of a throat.

After a rapid series of apologies she produced a large, cold bottle water from a compartment from the front and Rain guzzled it down in moments, gasping and puffing out cold bursts of air. He heaved a happy sigh and settled down as the car went back into motion.

"Oh dear sweet god thank you... Thank you..." He whipped the remains of sweat off his forehead and settled into different seat, seeing the small imprint of his body in the one beside him. Victoria glanced back at him through the rearview mirror. The worry on her face was obvious but he reassured her. "Don't worry ma'am! I've worked in hot environments plenty of times before! Just a little tired and the surprise heat caught me off guard!" He wasn't sure she took his words to heart but seemed to appreciate the attempt from him.

The rest of the car ride was rather relaxing. Rain enjoyed most of the quite cool drive, being the one chauffeured while he did as he pleased.

'As much as I want to not like this, I really can't help but enjoy it. If she wanted to hurt me she could have taken me out any time here and now. When I got in, during the drive, falling asleep. What do they have in store for me? Well she seems nice enough so it couldn't hurt to ask at least.' Steeling himself, he asked.

"Excuse me Ms.Victoria, but what is Showers like? I don't mean to be to forward and it's not like I'm grateful, I truly am, but I must know." He waited for her to say something, just anything back to clear up some if not any lingering questions for him. He watched her puzzle in though, considering her words like she was trying to keep the juicer bits hidden from me.

"Well I think I can tell you a couple of things. First things first, you are related to the person I work for, Showers. Her first name is Aeither. Or at least that's the name she prefers to go by. She's known about you for a very long time as the note touched upon." Rain thought about the bits of small details about his life that supported the statement. "What she wants from you is very simple. Buuut I'm not going to say what those are just yet!" She turned around and shot a smile that dashed his hopes for a straight answer. "You'll be going through a test of sorts. Something that'll prove to her and myself that you'll be absolutely perfect to have around. We both think there's no worry about that, but better safe than sorry!" She punctuated the last words like the lyrics to a nursery rhyme.

Rain wanted to voice his objections but found that he couldn't bring the words out. The remainder of the ride. Rain couldn't make a guess on how long they'd been traveling, he might have napped for a few short minutes or an entire hour before his short heat stroke. As much as he wanted to ask, he felt guilty asking question after question to the nice and welcoming older attendant. He watched the giant landscapes of open and free farmland rush by, only giving him bits and flashes of the environment. He chuckled to himself as the memories of his time working on the farm came to mind.

'And that's gone now.' Rain wasn't sure if it was just the thought of not seeing it all again or some packed away old feelings he still had for his old life, but it couldn't help but feel like he swallowed a bitter, dirt dry pill. The only relief being that he's being handed a brand new and potentially more focused life. 'Just keep moving forward. Don't stop.' He reassured himself over and over. He knew he was scared but he threw those flippant thoughts out of his mind and focused on what's in front of him.

Among the rows of greenery, he took note of the small yet all too familiar sized farm houses out in the countryside. He even noticed the occasional tractor or hay harvester.

'Huh, surrounded by farmland. I checked online and I didn't see much mention of farmers around. Couldn't find much on the town really...' The odd sense of nostalgia rushed through him, reminding him of the days he'd spent in the nice hot sunny days of summer and Spring, keeping the land clean during the falls and playing in the snow. He laughed as he saw a couple of young workers busting their backs like he used to.

"We're almost home!" He was knocked out of his day dreams. Rain almost forgot he was being driven, not noticing any of the sharp turns or the sound of screeching tires.

'Her experience really speaks for itself. Talk about a smooth ride.'

"Its not the biggest town in the world but it has all the accommodations you'd expect from it. Nice welcoming community, relaxing atmosphere, and all kinds of home cooked local foods you can't get at any old Biggie Burger establishment! Honestly hate that stuff. Feels like they pump the chemicals right in before serving it." The spirited older woman rambled on about how much she disliked the famous food chain.

Rain keep looking at and noticed the grassland gradually flew away, replaced with cut grass, trees and a rows of powerlines with houses decorating sports either far into the hills with a road trail leading to them or close to the streets. He even noticed a couple of people walking around like its another day. Everyone of them they drove by happily waved at him and he stuck his arm out to wave back at them. The genuine sense of politeness was a welcome change from the big city rudeness.

"Told you the locals are welcoming!" Victoria giggled. "Another five minutes and we'll finally be at your new abode."

Rain laid back into his seat, a sense of relief and a small unknown weight on his back finally being lifted off him. A pretty normal neighborhood, a life of luxury. Any anxiety he felt before washed away and an odd sense of giddiness creeped up from the bottom of his stomach to his lips in the forms of a small excited smile and laugh. Suddenly, darkness filled the limo with small stripes of light going past the winds.

'A tunnel?' In his excitement he realized he wasn't paying attention to the geography, especially the large tunnel they were in. Seconds later, light returned and Rain saw in full view, his new home. The young stallion was wide eyed and almost speechless, aside from a few chokes of air that managed to slip out of his throat.

What he expected was a comical combination of a mansion and castle on the outside. A few big spiers set on the corners or maybe randomly on top of roof. The rest a combination of typical constructed house but with the bricks looking like something better fit for a fancy kitchen in a rich household. Smooth looking diagonal triangles with thick black lines separating them all from one another.

Instead, he was blown away at how... Normal everything looked. It was a big house but nothing more than two or maybe three stories high. It was a gentle beige color with a black tiled roof that stood out from the rest of the vicinity of green and blue. Really nicely shined windows, a brick walkway leading from the garage to the front door and little flower beds placed right below the bottom windows. As far as front and backyards were worried about, there wasn't any shortage of space for either. The tree sitting in between even had a really well made red swing hanging off the strong branch. All it all, it looked like a classic vision of a home set in the countryside but just a lot bigger.

"Pretty nice don't you think?" She turned around to look at his gawking expression before he tried to compose himself.

"It's certainly... Unique from what I was expecting" He thought of the multiple mansions from every source of media he's consumed but nothing could really beat the crazy image in he'd come up with in the back of his mind. If anything it left him with a different view of Showers then from what he was expecting.

"Come one in, let's get you some decent food. I know you're hankering for something that's not made on some greasy grill, a big young stallion like you deserves a nice hearty meal!" She drove them up the road and into the large, sectioned off garage hidden behind giant green pillars of trees. It automatically opened up as they approached and began closing behind them. Rain knew she might try to open the door for him so he left right behind her. "Oh I could have gotten the door for you! Thought I suppose you'd still be a bit uncomfortable with having someone working for you, right?" Rain nodded, not at all surprised at how sharp the older woman is. She ushered him to follow her out of the door closest to her side of the car.

"So... Where is Showers? She has to be inside, right?"

"Well you're half right." Victoria replied. Rain was taken back by the odd straight answer. "She's away and working but you'll be able to communicate with her in time. For now, don't worry about that and let's go get you something. I have a feeling you'll still feel the jet lag pretty soon."

A few steps towards the door, Rain stumbled, landing on his knees and a deep sense of swirling in the back of his head. He tried standing up but the feeling made it all but impossible. Victoria came over and easily picked him off the ground and helped him head outside.

"S-sorry about this. I guess you were right, haha." Rain apologized as he tried to overcome the vertigo hitting him.

"No need to apologize for something that you can't help! Besides, I'm here to help you and don't think I can't with these old bones!" She laughed as she pulled him closer, bring his weight onto her own. Rain felt himself relax against the small portion of her fur exposed. He took notice of just how lush the environment looked. Aside from the out of place home, everything looked incredibly natural and serene. The smell of cut grass, a sprinkler system and untouched wood. He heard Victoria giggle."You really do take a lot after Showers. You both have a love for nature just by the looks in your eyes! And your muscles relaxed a lot from looking around."

Rain took the complement happily, happy knowing that his mysterious relative and him are at least a little alike. 'But I wonder how much I really take after her.' He thought as they approached the door. "I think I can stand up by myself now Ms.Victoria." She nodded and released him but still ready to grab him if he falls again. He was about to open the door but it jiggled slightly and flew open, blasting him with the air being sucked in by the negative space.

"AH!" He jumped back. Behind him, Victoria couldn't hold back her laughter.

"I'm sorry! I'm so used to the doors opening automatically when I approach it thanks to my special keycard. Don't worry, you'll get one of these to soon! I probably should have warned you about that sooner.

Rain held his chest but shook off the shock and approached the open door once again. He looked around but no one was around, just the very charming looking wood flooring and a staircase immediately leading upstairs and three other sections of the first floor on the left, right and directly in front of him and beside the stairs. He was about to step inside when she grabbed him by his left forearm, keeping him in place.

"I'm dreadfully sorry, I forgot I need to clear something up! I hate to ask you, but could you sit out here for just a few teeny, tiny minutes? I swear I'll be right back before you realize it!" She bounced in front of him, inside and hanging off the inside of the door, over the threshold. He let out a tired sigh and nodded with a smile. "Thank you! I promise I won't be too long!"

Rain didn't know what else to do but simply wait outside. He wasn't expecting much to happen when coming over but not being allowed to enter his new home for the first time wasn't what he expected. He sat down on the stoop, tapping away at the stone with his hooves and looking up at the hill. It overtook a majority of the view from the rest of the surroundings but it wasn't ugly. He considered it quite a nice view, especially with the light of the sunset casting an aura behind it. Like a silver lining. A lining that lead to a bright and comforting future thrown upon him. He could see it now...

"Oof!" Rain was knocked out of his day dream by something hitting him in the side of the head. After rubbing his thankfully unbruised eye, he looked to see a red kickball, the same kind he'd see thrown around in a dodge ball game. He picked up the offending ball of rubber and inspected it.

"You didn't dodge!" Came a young girl's voice.

Rain's ears perked up at the new voice. He looked around but didn't see anyone who matched the voice. He couldn't see anyone else around in fact.

"Umm... Pardon me but who's here? Victoria?" He called out.

"Its rude to not give your name first you know!" The owner of the voice answered back. Not sure what else to do, he decide to just be truthful.

"My name is Rain Storm. I know this may sound odd but I'll be living here from now on. Now... Could I please know who I'm talking to and why you hit me with a ball?" He tried to sound as nonthreatening as possible so he could receive a solid answer. He looked around, trying to listen for any kind of movement or indication.

"I'm over here!" The voice yelled from the rows of trees closest to the house. She stepped out as the wind blew heavily.

Out came a young gray mare with darkened limbs that faded into her gray coat with her muzzle following suite. Wearing a pair of short shorts up to above the knee, and a pink shirt decorated with purple, green and light blue stars on the left breast. She stared at him with a slight mischievous twinkle in her blue eyes. She walked up to the sitting stallion, arms behind her and a hardly a care in the world by her mannerisms.

"Its a pleasure to meet you Rain! My name is Eris!" She chirped, offering her hand to him in a formal handshake.

Rain took the young mares offer and shook hands with her. Who was she? Aeither's daughter? A friend of the families kid? Distant cousin? He wasn't sure what it was, but he felt like he'd get to know his little friend, seeing as she's the first person of his new town area he's actually physically interacted with and talked to.

"Err, nice to meet you to Ms.Eris."
