Alexander was laying with his head against the mares side once again. His entire head hurting with the amount of questions and lack of logic around him. This was a nightmare, one of the cruelest nightmares he had ever gone through. What had he done to deserve this? Was it because he stole sometimes from the more well of to feed his brother? Or was it because he didn't believe in the 'divine' rule of the republic?

He didn't even try to stop the tears. Death had done it, it had broken him.

Even after several minutes the crying didn't stop. He felt shameful to let it out like that but his pride was taken a long time ago. Right now he wanted to do nothing but let the anguish out even if it was noticed by a certain someone.

"Ahhhh good morning Dawnbre...-" she immediately stopped when she turned her gaze to him. Her maternal instincts kicked off far harsher than normally. Her foal, her HEIR was crying and she didn't even notice.

Alexander almost cried out in surprise as his minute long stare was disrupted when he was suddenly flipped. Moments later he was laying on a warm soft surface once again with something covering his back. Oh yeah and the nuzzling of his face was there too. It didn't take long for him to realize what happened, but this time he didn't even try to resist.

"Shhh" she whispered. "Let mother take your sorrows and worries away." The former human said and thought nothing. His head now empty, what happened to him now didn't matter, not anymore at least. With her hoof on the back of his head and his muzzle in the neck of the mare he didn't notice that he was slowly drifting off once again.

…

…

…

'Hm? Oh this again.' Alexander thought slowly getting sick of laying around all day. He was better than yesterday now. Turning to his side he still saw Daybreaker sleeping peacefully with one of her hoofs reached around him. She was turned to her side with him apparently sleeping against her belly once again. He carefully pushed her leg away before stepping his front hoofs against the ground.

'Okay... drei, zwei, eins' with that he jumped up... standing on 4 hoofs instead of 2 feet is an own experience. You can guess what happened next right? 'Woah woah woa...-'

"Umpf!" came out of his mouth huh looks like another body part got stronger too.

Letting out an inward groan he lifted his face from the stone hard ground. Turning back he sighed in relief to see the mare still sleeping.

'Okay again!' with that he got up only to fall to his side. Laying on his back he let out a inward sigh, this would prove to be a longtime project.

Sla- 'Oh FOR FUCKS SAKE' Alexander shouted inside his head as he fell down for what felt like the 10[sup]th[/sup] time. This didn't mean that it wasn't any less painful though, remember the ground still felt like it was made out of solid rock. Gritting his teeth he was about to stand up again when he heard the dreaded voice again.

"Dawnbreaker what are you doing?" he turned to the side to see her slowly standing up. Noticing his position her eyes widened before a bright smile formed on her face. 'Dear god no.'

"Little one you should have told me you were trying to walk!" she practically shouted in pure euphoria. He winced at the volume of her voice but she quickly reached to pull him up again. He almost squeaked at the amount of force used but managed to stand still.

"Flank a little lower dear." she instructed lovingly making him want to vomit. The fuck is a flank anyway? Like the flank in battle? The train of thoughts was interrupted when she pressed her hoof on his backside showing what she meant. Letting her free rule for now stood in a far more comfortable position.

Yes he stood for more than 5 seconds, he didn't want to believe it himself. Finally he felt her wrap a hoof bellow him. Looking up to her smile she whispered.

"Go on, I'll catch you should you fall." Hesitating for a moment he then took a step forward, then another and another. Meanwhile the mare followed him slowly intend on keeping her promise. Finally after around 1 minute he tried to sit down only to lose his balance and be caught by her. He heard her soft laugh letting him grumble quietly. Not a moment later he was once again in a cuddle season leaving him swear to god that one day he would ram this horn of his into her throat.

…

…

…

A sigh of contend filled the air... or whatever the fuck was surrounding them. It however did not come, as assumed from the mare, but from the (hopefully) colt she held tightly in her embrace. With his cheek against her stomach, the softest pillow he ever had, his gaze turned to her once again sleeping form.

'For the fact that I am supposed to be the child of the two of us she sleeps even more than I do.' he thought smiling to himself. 'Wait why am I smiling I hate her... somewhat right? She is responsible for all of this isn't she?' despite this thought gnawing at his mind he couldn't honestly care anymore. Her fur was faaaaaaaaaaaaar to soft for that. Or was it coat? He remembered that she called it that once.

Moving to change positions he accidentally went across a sore spot of his many attempts of walking.

"Sssssche..." came out of his mouth. The reaction was almost instantaneous as he was once again kicked up in the air. His eyes widened as he thought he was going to get slammed into something again when he was suddenly caught and locked in an embrace by none other than the mare who was sound asleep just a moment ago. Her eyes were gazing into his as if waiting for him to do something. She was fucking terrifying in that moment. However soon enough a grin painted her face.

"Did I just hear you try to say a word?" she asked him. Noticing his slight shivering her eyes expanded a lot and when I say a lot THEN I MEAN IT.

'What the fu...'

These were the equivalent of ultra puppy eyes as her pupils became so large that they were almost covering her entire eyeball. Instead of the original purpose of puppy eyes however this made it fucking terrifying like she was going to eat him or something.

"Come now say it." she urged him not breaking her gaze.

'Say what now?' he thought as he tried to back away as much as he could in his current position.

"Say mother, say it little one."

'… She does realize what I was trying to earlier wouldn't even get close to that word... well on the other side she is kind of one'

Her pupils expanded even more (don't ask me how) as she touched him nose to nose.

"Say it little one, I know you are able to."

'Someone call child protection service right now because I feel like she won't take anything else as an answer.' he thought finally though he opened his mouth making her eyes glitter in anticipation.

"Get your fucking hoofs of my stomach you are crushing me!" the pure power and volume in which he shouted this sentence out surprised both of them but none the less it was understandable. She was literally breaking his rips right now.

"W..-What?!" she asked out in pure shock at the perfectly formed sentence, setting aside the meaning.

"For the love of god LET ME FUCKING GO! You have constantly been cuddling hugging, gripping snuggling, smooching me. I need some fucking space!" This made him blink. 'Sounds more like a broken marriage.'

"D-Dawnbreaker?" she asked as if to make sure it was the foal she has been … 'raising'.

"Stop saying that! My name is FUCKING ALEXANDER!"

"L-little one calm yourself." she spoke timidly, the once so proud and brave queen reduced to stutters by nobody else but a foal.

"I won't be quiet, I haven't been able to speak for the last few... well for a long time! You better explain what all of this is!"

"What has gotten into you?" she asked as if she could not believe this was happening.

"What has... Woman I was a 26 year old guy who was blown into pieces and roasted in space only to wake up to some unicorn with wings and burning mane who mothers me to death for the last few weeks, while not being able to move or speak and being turned into a unicorn MYSELF! Oh yes I am feeling PERFECT!"

Taking deep breaths of the still nonexistent air he felt fucking exhausted, having put all of his energy into that ragefilled rant. To be honest he was ready to slam into the ground and sleep when he was suddenly pulled closer by Daybreaker. Lowering both of them simultaneously she left his head resting against her side like before.

"My poor Dawnbreaker." she whispered. He was about to remind her of his actual name when she nuzzled him. "I am so sorry, I had thought your memories would have faded until now, but apparently not." she gave a bittersweet smile.

"I will answer any questions you have later but for now you have to rest. While your soul may be a few billion years old your body is still the age of a ten year old colt."

"W-What?..." he asked already feeling drowsy. This was amplified by the kiss he received on his forehead just bellow his horn. Moments later he was already asleep.
