Welcome to the Hive (Patreon)

Over the years, many migrant ponies have arrived to a peculiar cave at the edge of the Hayseed Forests bordering the Badlands. The "ponies" who lived there were more than accommodating to whomever arrived, and made sure they were safe from then on out. But on one peculiar evening, a pegasus by the name of Moonlight Tumble arrived to the cave with much more knowledge than other ponies before him. However, despite knowing who the occupants of the place really were, he didn't seem to be worried at all. In fact, he seemed more than willing to enjoy a temporary stay among them, unlike many of the former "guests" who had succumbed to the Hive.

But as he's tested to ensure he isn't a spy, will Moonlight be able to make his case seem truthful? And if so, will his claims for a week-long stay remain as he faces his true desires? Or will he succumb like many have before, and become lost within the caverns unknown...
