The Elements of Darkness: Element #1 Suffering

Trapped

Rarity turned and ran for me lunging for my neck with her horn

“Come now darling this will only hurt a lot.”

Great! I might be able to get out of this if I can get the Vamp away from Rarity.

“But even one touch from her could stop you long enough for him to kill us. I say we kill Rarity first.”

The Vamp can nullify our magic! How are we supposed to kill Rarity? Barehoofed?

“We’ve just gotta find a way.”

Doge as best you can. I’ll try to drag wrath up from his subconscious sulking to help.

Entering my mind I found it completely dark

WRATH! I KNOW YOU’RE IN HERE

Instead of an answer I got a few drops of blood on top of my head and a soft gurgling sound.

Wrath?

Looking up I found Wrath; someone had staked him to a board out of my reach. I barely had time to catch a glimpse of him when I was forced back into my body.

The Vampire was pinning me against a hay bale with his forearms

“Finally! The whelp emerges! I tire of dealing with your lackeys.”

“Get off of me.”

“Why? Are you scared of me? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I AM?”

“No and I don’t care you’ve done enough to prove your worth.”

“Ha! My worth! Fool I am you. Everything you kept hidden, everything you didn’t want to deal with, you deepest desires. If you had been allowed to live a while longer on that miserable rock you called Earth I am what you would’ve become.”

“Impossible!”

“O really? Who’s foot did you cling on when that dragon was fighting with Michael over you?”

I seeing my chance I turned my head to bite deeply into the vampire’s right hand

“You little bitch!” the Vampire yelled pulling on his arm

He tastes like cherries?

The hand tore free and I swallow it without thinking.

“You can’t beat me, no matter what you do you WILL become just like Me.” the vampire said casually as he alighted on the nearest crossbeam “Lust! Have at him!”

“Where is Wrath?”

Indisposed, besides it doesn’t matter if he’s learned to revoke your control then he would’ve done the same thing to Wrath

I whipped my head around nervously

Where could she be?

A white hoof erupts from the hay bale mere inches from my kidney. My first reaction was to jump back into the wall, which fortunately had a rusty nail that stabbed into my flank.

Yes! Now I can really fight back

Forming the blood that was now freely flowing down my leg into a makeshift pair of coverings for my front legs I braced myself for the impending conflict.

Rarity jumped out of the hay bale and was coming in for a full body tackle. I had just enough time to raise my forelegs in front of me, as she struck I felt an increase in the energy needed to maintain my blood’s shape. I batted her out of the air and into the nearest stall.

It took her a few moments to recover then she came at me with a vengeance turning around to buck me with her back legs. I crossed my legs in front of my face but couldn’t set my feet and I went flying backwards into the open space in the middle of the barn.

“Come now honey don’t you want to play?”

“NO.” I said panting this is harder than I expected

The vamp then swooped down on me and sucked all of the blood off my legs leaving me defenseless

“Momma’s coming!” Rarity said enthusiastically lowering her horn as she charged, aiming this time for my heart. I dodged left.

Why isn’t she using magic?

“You have to stop thinking of her as Rarity. That is Lust.”

Good point

“You know you want to give it to me.”

“Stay away from me!”

“Fool! I know all of your wants! I know you’ve never been with anyone. Give in already! “

“Never!”

“Oh? I’m not good enough for you! Who would you prefer?”

I felt the blood start to pool by my hooves.

“I don’t want it! You do! so come and get it.”

“With pleasure.” she said rushing at me

I launched myself backwards and waited for her cross the blood I left on the ground.

“You’re in for it n-“she was cut off by the blood I formed into spikes the second I thought she was over them, but I was late and they cut into her belly instead of her throat.

Lust’s scream fell upon my ears like a blender full of broken glass.

“THIS SHOULD MAKE THIS FIGHT A LITTLE HARDER FOR YOU!” Lust’s horn started to glow with a bright pink light and I felt a crushing pressure on my genitals.

I thought you said she couldn’t use magic

“I didn’t think she could.”

She yanked and my balls slammed into the ground

Oh crap we’re done for

“Now let me relieve some of that stress for you.” Lust said turning around exposing her soaked backside.

This can’t be happening! I refuse to die like this!

Puling against her magic proved to be pointless as he raised me up to her level

Pride help me!

Pulling again I tore a good deal of skin away but the magic held firm. Blood began to gush from the wound spouting into the air

If she wants it so bad she can have it.

“You can’t be serious! You’re giving up?”

No

The vampire landed next to her holding his stumped wrist

“Finally the whelp dies.” he said flatly

“Not today.”

I used the blood to cut off my penis and balls; with them free I was able to control all the blood stored in the penis’s chambers and propelled it straight toward Lust. The Vampire seeing this tried to break my connection with the blood, but it was protected by the skin of my mutilated manhood.

“Nooo!”

Forming the blood into a makeshift spear at the last possible moment I forced it into Lust’s body. It traveled all the way through her uterus and stomach before it stopped.

No I can’t fail!

Putting all the force I could muster into the blood, which was being diluted by stomach acid and female lubricants, I shoved until I heard the satisfying crack of Lust’s skull.

“What have you done?”

I fell to the ground bleeding profusely.

Damn I can’t even stand. How am I supposed to beat him now?

“I have an idea.”

Tell me!

”Touch Lust!”

“YOU THINK THAT THIS MATTERS? YOU’VE DONE NOTHING BUT HASTEN TO YOUR DEATH!” the vampire screamed as he walked over to my crippled form.

I crawled as fast as I could towards the rapidly decaying body that was Lust.

“Even if you would’ve managed to defeat me I AM YOUR DESTINY! YOU CAN NOT AVOID ME!”

Slamming my hoof into Lust’s blood soaked flank caused flames to spread up my leg. It smelled completely unique, but if I had to guess I would have smelled markedly like a cow being struck by lightning.

The vampire bit into my side and started to suck my blood trying to kill me before my body changed.

The pain was immense. I had but one thought that I kept on repeating in my head

It ends today

Overcoming the pain I whipped my flaming head around and sunk my teeth into the vampire’s chest cracking a few of its ribs.

Then something surprising happened, the Vampire caught fire.

“You haven’t won.” he said as he turned himself into mist once again and disappeared leaving one of his legs behind.

The fire was still burning. Breathing in some of the flames I felt my lungs burn and fill with fluid.

Then my skull cracked and reformed into a smaller version with a short curved horn.

It felt great! Somehow changing had completely healed all of my injuries.

Pulling my blood off the ground I wrapped myself in it and smothered the flames.

“I did it again.”

WE did it

“Whatever”

Help

Did you hear that?

“What?”

That voice

“No”

I began to feel a weak tugging at the back of my mind

It can’t be

Sitting down I calmed myself and entered my mind.
