Tartarus, Eros Sanctuary

Deep down in the infernal prison, below the last plane of Sin, away from prying eyes and ears, was Eros. The fallen god stood in a huge pool, filled with water and was currently scrubbing his well toned body. The intensity in which he did that, was close to downright fury and his face was contorted with barely held back rage, as he pressed the sponge into his red fur. "Fucking dog and his fucking tongue!", he cursed. When one would look closely he would see, that part of Eros mane was coated in saliva and there were faint marks of teeth in his right buttcheek. "When I ever got out of here I will skin this bloody mutt and..." Eros muttering was interrupted, when the golden mirror, the Corruptor, which layed on his bed, began to emanate a green light.

Connection established!

Eros looked at the device and his wrath dissipated. He took a deep breath, washed out the last dogspit out of his mane and got up. As always he didn´t bother with clothes and instead let his impressive sexual body breath free. Although the effect was somewhat diminished by numerous bite scars on his legs and upper body. His aura picked up the mirror and brought it before his face.

"About time you showed up again.", grumbled the alicorn, "Have you any idea how humiliating it is to serve as a chewtoy for Cerberus? Fucking beast wouldn´t let me go for...one, two....three days!" He tilted the device, so the rest of the room was visible. It was in a poor state. The three-headed dog had run rampart in the cavern, smashing everything that couldn´t withstand his power. Shards and splinters layed everywhere and broken furniture had been piled up in a corner. "Hadn´t got the time to clean up.", apologized Eros and walked towards the empty middle of the room. His horns aura got brighter and suddenly the air began to shift, revealing the throne.

"Thankfully, Cerberus is as stupid, as he is strong. I was able to hide both the throne and the Corruptor from him. So our little endeavor here is still a secret.", said the fallen god, as he placed his muscular rear on the seat. "Although there was probably a discharge of energy, that some of the more powerful entities on the surface must have taken notice of. But I wouldn´t worry about that. As long as our avatar succeds in staying out of sight, their suspicions will vanish sooner or later. Speaking of, what is the current status?"

Immediatly the screen filled with words and Eros patiently read, as he got a detailed summary of Zexis´ first few days. Then, after he was finished, a smile crept up his muzzle. "Damn, talk about getting things done. Merely a few days in Ponyville and you got your first victims." A lecherous grin parted his lips, as he looked on the profiles of the Flower Trio and Scootaloo. Then his gaze wandered to Birdhoof. "Although I am not sure, wether this guy will be worth the effort or not." He thought for a while, then shrugged his shoulders. "Oh well, you got to start somewhere. And an ally is always preferable, especially so early."

Once again his horn flared up and a cupboard, which had survived the previous fight, flew open. Eros´ aura grabbed an old, dusty bottle and flew it, alongside an ornate glass, back to him. He popped the cork and poured himself a drink. A black, semi-transparent liquid flowed into the glass. Eros put the bottle back and took a sip. He closed his eyes as he let the flavour sink in. "Aaah, liquified souls. A rarity, both in Tartarus and on the Surface. I keep a few bottles for moments like these. Nothing like the taste of despair and broken innocence.", he said. Then a new line of text appeared on the screen. Eros saw it and nodded. "Oh, yeah. You have questions, of course. Now is a good time as any to answer them. Bring it."

.....BZZZZZT.......Click!

Well it look like you finally have some time to your self Eros. So before you get your self started on anything too pleasurable my superior require me to ask you some questions. Ok let see here name, age, place of birth yada! yada! yada! ....RIIIIIP....Well these question are boring i'll write in some bullshit later. What I want to know is how did you break in that Luna bitch cause that sounds like it be a great story might also be useful when our puppet breaks her in.

I could properly find the story some where in the archives but hearing such stories from the source is always better than reading what the scribes produce, they always record everything in the same bloody monotonous tone. Speaking of from the source could you hook me up with any first edition books of things like the kamasutra or anything of that nature I would appreciate it. Such items can help me rise up the ranks and the higher rank the more time I can have to study my own interest rather than being told what to do.

Anyway I best get back to work. Cause there is no rest for the wicked and I'm more wicked than most.

From the Archives of Enlightenment, Forbidden Division

P.S if you have any questions fell free to ask them I tell you what I can.

Eros pondered this, while stroking his chin. "Well, would you look at that. I had no idea that the Archive was willing to support my plan. I thought you guys had strict No-Intervention Rule? Although I admit, my knowledge about you is limited. A library between dimensions is rather hard to spy on, if catch my drift. Anyway, back to your question."

"Back in the day, when I first tried to conquer Equestria, the Royal Sisters proved to be the biggest obstacle. The military was easy to deal with. The ponies were mostly relying on the goddesses to deal with any threats and so their own defences were lackluster. It didn´t take much effort to subdue and break them. However against Luna and Celestia this was a different story. It was actually surprising how difficult it was to conquer the heartlands around their castle in the Everfree and Canterlot. Their magic was powerful and since they dispatched Discord with the Elements, they had gained an advantage against any corrupting force.
Luna was the most active in that time. She would constantly teleport around the land, dispatch her guard and defeat my demons. Celestia on the other hand took to organizing the remnants of the nation. Back then, both of them styled themselves as goddesses instead of princesses and it was closer to their function, if I have to be honest."

Eros was taking another sip and his eyes looked into empty space as he reminisced about the old days. "Celestia was worshipped as the Sun and Fertility Goddess. Ironic, right? She had been more promiscious in the past. Had even a harem of stallions around her. Luna however was the Moon Goddess, and that meant she was also associated with Faith and Chastity." A smile crossed his face, as he looked to the screen. "Why I didn´t go for Celestia? Well, would you believe me, if I tell you, that my chances of success on corrupting her would have been marginally lower because she was a Fertility Goddess? I am not kidding. Because she had experiences with Lust and sexual relationships, it was way more difficult to defile her morals. She was in control of her desires, because she was able to satisfy them, if necessary. Now Luna was different story. She had no experience in such things and society back then demanded, that it stayed that way. The moon was pure and so was she."

"I began slowly increasing the pressure on her Night Guard. That meant, that she was forced to increase her recruiting tallies. That way, I was able the let some of my incubus infiltrate her forces. Then I let them sabotage the campaigns against my forces, which meant that Luna would spend more time on frontlines to uphold discipline and hold my advance. That isolated her from Celestia. Come forth more pressure from me, which in turn meant more recruits, more infiltratores, more stress for our lovely little Moonie. "

Eros took another sip. His massive prick twitchted at the memory and began to rise, as Eros spoke. "Finally I had brought her to the point, where she was barely able to rise the moon. I took the opportunity and disguised myself as her own guard. Thanks to the security leaks, I had created, I was able to slip into the positions as her personal bodyguard. At that point, she was close to her breaking point. I used her momentary weakness and suggested, as her friend, of course, that she should take some time off. Relax a bit, even if its just for a hour. I would take care of everything else." Eros cock was now standing at his full height, quivering in lust over the old success. "That moment, when she relented. It was just for a tiny second, but she actually considered letting go. And that was enough for me. My magic broke through her mental defences and put her to sleep. I then let my Incubus come into her chambers and jack off, coating everything in good thick layer of semen. A few minutes later and the entire room was filled with musk and the stench of lust. After that, I woke her up."

"Any other mare would have gone insane on the onslaught of corruption and sex in the air. Any other would have been at my hooves, driving their knuckles into her cunt and begging me to fuck them. Luna was no such mare. Oh no, she resisted. She even tried to put up a fight, that brave thing. But she was exhausted and confused and I was at the height of my power. I defeated her and held her down for my minions. Then I let them ravage her. I had forced her mouth open and let every single one of my Incubus fuck her head. I made sure they would discharge over her body, to let the corruption seep into her. In hindsight, I should have let them fuck her, so that the change would be permanent, but well.
Anyway, after the sixth incubus, she began to participate. Mumbled something about letting be it over sooner, but I knew the truth. She began to enjoy this. The corruption took hold. The blowjobs, deepthroats and my constant teasing at her cunt began to take their toll. I had been holding her just before orgasm for over three hours at this point and that her drove nearly insane. She couldn´t comprehend all these new sensations, she never experienced something like that before. She had been completely defenceless before my skills. After five hours she began to ask. After six, she begged. And after seven, she screamed for release. She promised me Equestria, the Elements, her sister just so I would finally fuck her. I let her destroy her crown, suck off my subordinates. I even brought in her guard captain, so she could tell him in his face, that she would resign as a princess and become my fuckpet. Everything, so long as I brought her to that one orgasm."

Precum was now dripping of the tip of Eros´cock and he absent mindendly began to stroke it. "I obliged. When I entered her, I could feel her will collapsing. Her brain broke under the most mind-shattering orgasm I had ever produced. Damn, just thinking how her tight virgin cunt had milked me that day...she hadn´t even been able to speak any more. Just babble incoherent, while I restructered her mind with every single pounding. When she came back to some sense, I ordered her to suck of her captain. The poor guy was sobbing at the sight of his goddess jumping on his prick, like a child on a new present. Then he cursed, finally calling her a traitor. Imagine that, it brought her over the egde a second time. Fuck, she even egged him on. Begging him to insult her more. It was glorious!" A laugh shook Eros and his hand stroked over Lunas imagery on his throne.

Then his smile slowly vanished. "Then Celestia showed up. I don´t know how she knew what had happened. I suppose, I had took too long in breaking her sister. Or she had known my plan and used Luna as bait from the very beginning. I don´t know. I just remember, that she had the elements with her and that she then used them to both banish me and my demons, and purge my influence from Luna. My greatest victory was turned into my final defeat." His prick was now lying flat on his thighs, any enthuasism gone. Eros took another sip from the glass and coughed. "Gah, not a good memory. Although I hope, that answers your question and gives you something to show off before your colleagues."

Eros, Demon Lord of Lust and Desire... we require quite a bit of information and do not have a lot of time to ask. The first I must ask is of dire importance.

1. What is your relation with Discord? If Zecora sensed your touch so easily, he will know the moment he enters Ponyville. We need any and everything that could either help or dam us.

2. How do changelings work here and what are their powers? If they can feed on lust, we may have another ally soon, and a powerful one at that. If not, we will have to be even more careful. Any hints on finding one would also help so we can go in prepared while they are off balance.

3. What milestones will we need to reach to chose another boon for Zexis? I can see how we can earn one for his actions, but some challenges will take to long to grant benefits, and be to risky.

4. What abilities dose Zebra magic have. We have demonstrated an affinity for plants, but nothing extra ordinary. The limits and potentials would help us plan things further.

The Lord of Corruption seemed glad over the change of topic. "Well, lets answer these questions top to bottom. First, I don´t know Discord very well. He was rampaging through Equestria, while I fought Celestia and Luna. His reality warping powers created so much chaos that I was forced to stop my armies and contain his madness. I never met him in person, he was more occupied with the Sister than me. Eventually they petrified him and our war continued."

"Secondly, Changelings are a known quantity. They can feed on many emotions, but love is the most sustainable one for them. Without it they are forced to suffer almost constant malnutrition. Thats why they infiltrate societies and replace lovers, in order to feed. However this also means they lack a culture themselves and only the queens and their female offspring are really self-aware. The drones are comparable to golems, made of flesh. They follow the commands of their queen, keep themselves alive and that is all. Once in a while a drone with Self-Awareness is born. That one is called a Changeling King and it can lead to uniting the different swarms. That way the changeling nation of Zirrrbabwe came into extistence, for example. But this is a exceptionally rare case and the queens usually kill any potential king in order to quell any upcoming rebellion of the drones. Unfortunately that also means, that Changelings are notorious backstabbers and I would be cautious about any alliance with them. Although the prospect of an abundance of lust, which is second only to love, could be very tempting for them."

"On the third question I will come back later. Considering the fourth I would say, that Zebras ability towards magic is an inherently indirect one. Unlike ponies, who channel magic through their bodies, zebras must create foci and other catalysts in order to work their powers. This however means, that any spell and enchantment they create can last for a very long time and can be very powerful, because they can load a lot of energy into one spell. Generally think it about this way, ponies can cast fast, but weak. Zebras cast very slow, but strong. Its one of the reasons, why the zebra nations guard their witchdoctors so jealously. They are able to equip themselves with a shitload of trinkets, amulets and artifact, that can make them into a walking arcane armory. Also with enough training and mental fortitude their affinities can get stronger. Very dangerous. The fact, that such a zebra is currently in Ponyville and skilled enough to feel my influence is nothing good. Although it begs the question what she is doing here. We have to adress that sooner or later."

Eros, I have a few questions for you.

Firstly, do we have the ability to magically aid Zexis as he becomes more powerful. There are quite a few things that would make him more powerful and are varying degrees of subtle and not so very subtle. Things like him getting a horn for more magical capabilities, mutating plants, other blessings for his body like stamina or wings or something someone else comes up with, granting Zexis the ability to speak to us or at least make him aware we are speaking to him and that we see and hear anything he says and does and making others hear our voices too. The last one being very useful for corrupting more ponies.

Secondly, if things get a bit out of control do we have the power to open a portal to a particular part of the immaterium. If the answer is yes then if needed I have a small army of lust filled Slaneshy daemons ready to fuck for all eternity to unleash onto the other side of Equestria. This should give us some extra weeks or even months, depending on whether or not she can outright kill them or when she figures out that the daemons can’t live in the materium without a power source. The power source for these daemons is sex btw, well technically it is excess but sex is the easiest way to get power.

Lastly, why are you so patriarchal. A female can also be a dominant. Excluding one sex, especially when the sex you are excluding is the majority population, will make us a lot weaker then we need to be. Aside from that not all males are dominant or enjoy being dominant.

Also thank you for setting this whole thing up it is rather fun and in the end this will get me a lot of power, if we succeed that is.

Eros pointed at the former questions. "Again, I must ask you to wait. I will explain later. Now your second question: Currently we have not enough power to do something like that. Sorry, Archivist, no Kamasutra for you. And for you Dark One, I would advise against it. We are not under pressure anyway and what I remember about Slaaneshs demons is that they have penchant for rather...squicky changes. I would like to have something to fuck, that doesn´t consist of five legs, one eye and three orifices in the wrong places. Not my stuff."

Then Eros read the last part. He got quiet for a moment. Then he sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "Honestly, I don´t care. I like some dominant females, variation and such. But my main enjoyment is Corruption and Breaking of mares. Its just who I am. That doesn´t mean all my subordinates have to follow that. If someone wants to be under the hoof of a sadistic mare, thats his thing. But don´t expect me to change my way. Can´t teach a thousand year old god new tricks and so forth. And besides..." A grin split his face again. "It seems like there are more than just a few of you, who share my sentiment towards females´ places in society."

*a whirlwind of ash descends from the sky, forming into a skeletal ashling who regards Eros carefully through his mirror* "I've been silently watching up till now. Things are progressing well enough, but they could certainly be going better. Our little meat puppet seems a bit headstrong and prone to rash decisions when pressured. I do have a few questions though. Obviously, we seem to be able to influence his thoughts and actions to some degree. The question is, just how far are we able to intervene? The prospect of having no damage-control seems a huge wrench in our endgame."

*The ashling taps his jaw thoughtfully, the glowing coals of his eyes glinting*

"Another thing, my leige: our toy seems to be learning at an unprecedented rate how to effectively use speechcraft, but there undoubtedly some meatbags that will require more...physical...lessons to become the wanton sluts we all know they need to be. How soon can we see the opportunity to choose some physical traits to augment that process? I hope to have my questions answered, Lord Eros, though I understand if I must be passed over."

*the ashling clicks its jaw before disintegrating and blowing away on the wind*

Eros raised his eyebrow in suprise. "Well, seems like there are still some Ashlings that survived the Second Great War. Always wondered about that." He stroked his chin again. "Personally, I would like to keep things the way they currently are. Greater control of his mind would make Zexis only erratical, if not insane. Imagine how you would behave, if there multiple voices in your head, screaming and ordering many different things. Suggestions on the other hand, make sure he stays on target and remains believable and inconspicuous. But don´t worry, there will be other ways to intervene once we gather enough power."

Hail, Eros.

I hope you've fared well, down there in your little hole. The other Three send their regards; especially War has expressed interest in your past. Would you care to tell us a little about your war with Equestria?

Injustice and I have both been interested in the reason for your male-domination ways. Don't get us wrong, we enjoy it very much! I'm always interested in witnessing a dominant male conquering the minds and bodies of the mares. And Injustice loves to put on a leash and shlick to what you're doing. Do her a favour and explain to the little slut why you put your path into motion, will you?

And like I asked last time: Is it possible for our tool to call upon your power? Can he give blessings in your name, even if he has no idea you're even real? Will your influence grow with Equestria's increasing corruption?

/shouting at something behind him

Alright, alright! I'll ask him! Cold Stars, how pushy she can get. Ahem: Eros, Injustice wants to know how you...

/sigh

... how you stand on the issue of spanking your mares. Including 'on the snatch'. Her words, not mine. She especially likes the idea of Zexis using his plant powers to grow a magical spanking rod.

"Aaand here we got the Plagues of the End. Or the Riders of the Apocalypse. Or Trumps closest friends. I don´t know which name you are currently familiar with. Welcome to the party!", Eros exclaimed and grinned, "Now why am I, the way I am? Well, as a little godling I had traumatic experience...."

He trailed off. Then a glimmer shined in his eyes and bursted into laughter. "I´m sorry, I couldn´t keep a straight face at that. The truth is, I just like it. The world is filled with many powerful monarchs, heroines and what not and its just my greatest enjoyment to push them off their high pedestal and reduce them to the quivering, dirty little pieces of flesh they are. That most of them are female, is just how it is here. You are bound to get...lets say inclined for male dominance here. Considering spanking, I´m all for it. Masochists are my favorite kind of toy, mostly because they get off on the humiliation. And the kind of rods I had back in the day....lightning, thorns, even one that screamed vulgarities, every time it struck someone. Good days. So, yeah. If Zexis ever creates one, you have my blessing. Speaking of..."

Eros stood up and tipped on the screen. It lit up and showed the starting options. On the left corner, one could see a new line.

Corruption Points: 2

Eros pointed at it. "This is the answer to all the questions about blessings and modifications. These points represent the power your actions have generated. Either through gaining allies or expanding your influence. You can spend them on multiple things. You can gain new traits or enhance existing ones. You can also unlock new features of the Corruptor. That last one is currently unavaible, because we don´t have enough points. So, we have to take the first option. The changes made to Zexis are made retroactive, which means, that for everyone excluding us, Zexis always looked this way. So if you want to make him burly and brutish, everypony who knows him, will remember him as such. Its a neat little feature, that will spare us some troublesome explanations."

The God of Lust tipped on the Avatar-Symbol and brought up Zexis profile. "Just choose new traits or spend your points on old ones. The most popular choice wins.", he said and sat back, watching the argument unfold.

Author's Note

Hello,
here I am again.

I hope this Interlude shedded some light on some worldbuilding, which is the main functions of these chapters with Eros. It also serves as our "Hub", where we can level up Zexis and unlock new features on the Corruptor, although that last one will come later. Look forward to that.
The CPs will be generated through how far we get with our corruption of Ponyville. Currently we got with Birdhoof one ally, which is one point, and we heavely influenced the Flower Ponies, which is another. Complete Corruption of a person or breaking their mind will result in more points, while allies will generate points on their own. So that will give you some nice options, in how to proceed.

The Upgrades on the existing traits are stated right beside them and will increase exponentional. That means Lv1 cock (1CP), Lv2 cock (2CP) and Lv3 cock (4CP). Some traits are more powerful than other, thats why they are more expensive to purchase and level up.

Skills on the other hand can be gained through, you guessed, repetition. Lie enough and you will become a liar. Fuck enough and you will get better in bed. Learn enough about alchemy and you will soon create your own potions. That way, we will create our own unique protagonist.

Now to something different. Some of you asked that already, so I will adress it. There is a method, in how I pick suggestions. Usually I go with what makes the most sense, but I also pick comments that react to the current situations. There some commenters who have some grand plans, that zexis should follow and I like that. However it is difficult to pick such suggestions, because they usually don´t relate to situation at hand. Sure you talk how Zexis shall make some potions with genderbending, but how does that help him in defusing an argument with redheart? See, what I mean.
You can have your plans and agendas. Thats fine, I don´t want you to drop them. But keep them in the background and ry more to steer Zexis to his day to day life, until you get him to the point where he can actually follow through with your wishes. My best example are again The GreatDerpsby and potdl. Both of them give solutions for the present and give Zexis some ideas for the future.

Now, don´t take that as a guide on how to write your comments. Instead see it as a friendly advice and suggestions from my side, because I like you ideas and I want to include more. That way, we get more diversity.

Now for the next poll. I would say they are two options for you. You can choose some new traits or enhace current ones. Than you can tell, exactly how you want to spend the points.
For example:
Comment 1= new traits (strong, fast)
Comment 2= current traits (dominant)
Comment 3 = new traits (affinity to magic)

When we get more points, as the story goes on, you can mix these option up, i.e. taking both new traits and leveling up current ones. But right now, I want to keep it simple, so we can start of a little bit easy and don´t make it too complicated.

Thats all from me. I hope you enjoyed this Interlude. The next chapter will be back to Zexis, so feel free to comment as usual. Have fun.
