The Elements of Darkness: Element #1 Suffering

Simple Seduction

My mind was dark once again, but different somehow. After walking for a while I came upon a spotlight shining down on nothing. My curiosity got the better of me and I walked straight at it.
A gentile force began to lift me upwards as soon as I entered the light.

Well what’s the worst that can happen?

I was set down on a white featureless plain, marred only by a black dot off by the horizon.

Focusing my mind I moved the dot towards me as it slowly took the form of a very feminine crying girl.

“Are you going to beat me?”

“No. Who beat you?”

“You just did.”

“Lust?”

The girl squeaked and curled herself into a ball “Please don’t hurt me.” she whispered

“I won’t hurt you.”

“Lies! You abandoned me to that monster! Keeping me bottled up all those years with Him! You don’t think that hurt?”

“You remember all that?”

“I never forget anything.” she said her voice gaining some confidence

“So you remember all of your time with the vampire?”

“Yes”

“Show me.”

“No. What’s to stop you from imprisoning me to the back of your mind once I tell you?”

“You are a piece of me. If I’ve learned anything from these past few days it’s that I need to accept myself for who I am and not let my fears control me.”

“You are scared of me?”

“I will always be scared of you. You represent all of the feelings that I strove to keep out of my thoughts so I wouldn’t become too attached to anybody.”

The girl stood up and placed her face millimeters from mine.

“You would allow me to be part of your thoughts?”

Leaning forward I wrapped my arms around her; I could feel her muscles tense damn she’s strong “Yes, though I might not indulge you often.”

“How can I be certain?”

“I’d be a fool not to change after all I’ve been through, and I can’t stand to see more people hurt.”
Upon hearing this girl started to cry

“Let me tell you everything you’ve put me through.” she said her voice gaining some venom
“After you had kept me hidden for a few years I noticed some part of you had changed. I had been in the dark so long and my loneliness so great I groped my way through the depths of your mind until I came upon a boy. My first instinct was to run, but my curiosity overcame me. I asked the boy what was wrong and he responded ”There is nothing wrong. The fool doesn’t recognize his potential so I will grow here until I become strong enough to rip him to shreds then I will be in control of this body and I will do what I want.” I was quite taken back at this and when I asked him if he could really do it he stood and slapped me across the face. From then on I did everything he said without questioning him.”

“I’m sorry”

“Let me finish!”

“When the dragon and Michael were fighting over you the boy had become the monster you fight now. He convinced Michael to set us free from you, but he kept me as his slave. I tried to hide from him as he spread his evil into this world but he found me after his first defeat and forced me into the mare’s body to watch you, that night I saw what you did to Wrath. Wrath had just come back from the blood clone and you were weakened by your victory. “

“You can see into my mind?”

“The next time you interrupt I will not finish the story”

“Sorry.”

“And stop apologizing! You made your choices stick by them!”

Wrath had landed a few blows but you seemed unaffected. You screamed a lot about how this was your mind and there was no way that he could win and Wrath just grunted and kicked you in the face. Then a dark look came over your face and you summoned a set of railroad spikes to impale him to the ground. You made a cadaver out of him, pulling him apart and labeling all the muscles and organs you could remember mocking him the whole time. When you were finish with that you decided to make an example of him cutting his throat and placing him on the ceiling. It is good that the mare Colgate couldn’t see any of this because she was standing over you the whole time lamenting your loss and saying something about the good ones dying young and not having enough room in the graveyard. I think she might have some feelings for you even if it is just because you and she are the last ponies alive.”

“What does she mean by that?” Pride interjected

“Don’t interrupt I’m sure she’ll explain”

“Yes you pathetic lug of self-appreciation don’t interrupt.”

“Can I kill her?” Pride asked as he materialized next to me

“No. That would make us no different from that monster out there.”

“If you all are done I’d like to finish.”

“Since you had no pulse the entire time you were fighting with Wrath the mare carried your body to the graveyard where the rest of the ponies now reside decaying into radioactive dust. She cried over your coffin for a while before sealing you with the rest. She then apologized for the informal means of burial before setting everyponies coffin on fire. You woke up in your flaming coffin and called upon Wrath to force your way out of it, but he wouldn’t respond so you went into your mind and melded with his body to gain the strength needed. While you were in that state Wrath wiped as much of your memory as he could in revenge causing you to pass out shortly after escaping your fiery doom. Colgate saw you and pulled you away from the fire before it could catch your tail on fire. She and I could have a wonderful time together, those shapely legs and eyes as deep as the Tokyo trench.”

“Focus! What happened?”

“Oh yeah, not much she put you to bed and read a book over how to deal with radiation using magic until she crawled in next to you. She is so cute! Why haven’t you tapped that yet? I’m sure she is into you. Then again she thinks you are the only stallion left in all equestrian and just watched all of her friends die.”

“Why is she even here?” Pride said with a pout

Deal with it John she is here to stay

“But she tried to kill us.”

“I can try harder if you like.”

Both of you stop it we have more important things to do

“Like what! You just spent the last couple hours talking to this harlot!”

Remember the last time we bested the vampire?

“Yeah”

Well he went on a killing spree after that to feed and regain his strength right?

“Yeah”

And who is the only pony left alive besides me?

“Colgate.”
