When the pressures of being the ruler of Equestria become too much to bear, Celestia likes to retreat to her private forest; surrounded by magic that prevents anyone from getting inside (or even realizing that it’s there), it’s her place to relax, unwind, and let off steam. But not by enjoying nature, gardening, or hiking. No, nothing like that: it’s here that Celestia likes to keep her wits sharp by indulging her secret love of being a predator and hunting humans.
 
At the beginning of each hunt, five humans are dressed in a tight, rubber bodysuit and released to hide in the forest, where they have to stay hidden from Celestia until nightfall. Celestia herself gives them a two hour headstart before heading out, and from then it’s a game to see who can stay hidden, and who will be eaten. To make things interesting, Celestia’s staff will add variables to make the hunt more challenging: Celestia may have her wings tied up to prevent her from flying, or have an inhibitor ring to deprive her of her magic. The humans may be smeared with a sweet-smelling paste that makes it easier to sniff them out, or be fitted with a collar covered in loud bells that jingle with any kind of movement. For today’s hunt, though, they’ve been cuffed to slow them down.
 
Now, less than hour into the hunt, the first human’s been caught. She tried her hardest to crawl into a small cave, but Celestia quickly caught her, and she’s now being gobbled up by a very delighted princess. In a few minutes, she’s gone, curled up inside Celestia’s stomach, where she’ll soon be joined by her other companions. By nightfall, all five of them will be helplessly pressed against one another, their rubber-clad bodies compressed and squeezed as Celestia returns to her manor, settles down by the fire, relaxes… and then regurgitates her prey.
 
What? You thought Celestia was actually going to digest them? Princess Celestia may be into eating humans, but she has no interest in killing them. In fact, the five humans in her herd are there willingly, having befriended the princess long enough that she felt comfortable telling them her deepest fantasies about being a predator. Of course, being the nice friends they are, they eventually decided to help Celestia fulfill her fantasies and became willing prey once a way was found to prevent from, you know, actually dying. Celestia takes great care not to bite when swallowing the humans, and the rubber bodysuits they wear are magically enchanted to protect them from being digested while in her stomach, keeping them at a safe, comfortable temperature while curled up and squeezed against both the fleshy walls and each other so that they’re unharmed upon being regurgitated.
 
At the end of the day, Celestia and her human friends cuddle around the fire, worn out and ready to rest before doing it all against the next day.
