Cookies and a Devil - the full story

The huntress gave him a cookie. "Eat this", she said and waited.
He bit into it with a raised eyebrow... whatever effect it had. It didn't show
"Just tell me the spells"
"I have my own kernel magic"
"It's a linked spell, so I can feel what you're feeling."
She totally saw the vampire below casting random spells. A red outline. A wallhack.

"Well it won't give me any input on how his magic feels", she looked down. "But by the looks of it, this is a new ability for him. Maybe we are lucky and he just discovered this new side of him."

She made a circle with her hoof right in front of her. A cookie bowl appeared right in front of her and she took one of them. "My very own receipt", she said while breaking the cookie in four pieces. Each piece was thrown into one corner of the church so that the cookies made a square around the church. "Hey, maybe you want to try it, say this." She came closer and said the words to him that would activate the barrier spell. (Fan Prawn)
"Fan prawn " something happened
The barrier was up. "You have to teach me some runes"
"You like that, huh?", she smiled and tested the barrier by throwing a little something against it. It was a demon soul in a jar. It bounced off the barrier and flew back to her. "Very well done", she complimented his success. "Now let's get started, he can't escape this barrier surrounds the church over as well as underground." Then she jumped down right in front of the church's front doors.
He turned invisible and she a heard a thud beside her. "Let's go," said the wind
She opened the church door a cookie in her hand. The second she set foot in the church a red circle appeared around her hooves. She immediately broke the cookie and shouted "Evener!" The red circles broke and fainted.
Not bad, but too slow Bloodsucker.

The vampire was standing behind the altar. His red eyes looked right through her. "Tell your friend, he can stop using such cheap tricks. I know who you are. I know your desires, you're no pure soul." Lucy shook her head. "My mind is my own, your words are poison to the soul. My mind is my own, your words are poison to the soul." She repeated over and over, her eyes starting to glow blue. "I could say the same to your vampire. Don't try to use those cheap tricks on me. If you really know who you're against you would've known how stupid that attempt just was."
Artyom smirked behind he illusion. He did something only certain devils could. He 'jumped' into the light and was not a part of the dimension anymore. He was like an undetectable, invisible bubble now. And from here he could work wonders for Lucy. But he observed. For the vampire, he was gone.
"I could place a load of anxiety in his head," said Artyom and looked at the rage feelings in the vampire
"He's not alone careful, there is a demon inside of him", as soon as she spoke that last word the vampire charged on Lucy and she had to use a movement rune to jump out of his range. "Artyom distract him, while I prepare the finishing spell." She jumped in the corner of the church and started to hum something in the language of runes.

The vampire hissed at her. "Hey demon do your job, I can't sense him anymore." In his head, a voice answered "Let the boy be my problem. You get the sorceress, I hate runes." The vampire smiled, well good that I love them then. He started to use rune injections to corrupt Lucy's spell.

The demon inside of him, stepped into a trance-like state and the vampire was not able to feel him in his head anymore and thought >Hopefully he knows what he's doing.<
Artyom grinned and walked behind the searching lowlife demon. One push. Or one corruption. One hack and he can use him against the vampire. Being outside of the plane, he started to talk to the demon. Whispering. Being his consciousness...
"Kill the vampire. You don't need him"
The picture of a claw did a strike against Artyom. "You're right I don't but he does a lot of tasty murders." He felt like he talked to himself but years of training had shown him that he's not himself. "What has one of your kind to do with such a low creature? I could say the same for you. She gives you the same that my little Vampire here gives me isn't that right? Pleasure...", he whispered and again another claw was striking at Artyom.
Then Artyom appeared in front of the demon. Without a word, he raised his hoof and it glowed. A wave of power washed over the demon, triggering his soul. Triggering him on all emotional sides. It would take a nasty demon to survive that without a scar. "Tell me. Have you seen the Cronus layer ever?"
The demon crashed against the floor of the dimension not able to move. "W what are you?... talking about?" He felt like his very being is starting to overload itself. "W what is this?!", he started to panic.
"I am the real deal," he looked at him with a stern expression and walked over, "when I touch you gonna disappear to another place" Artyom's hoof glowed and he waved it in from t of the demon wannabe.
The demon's eyes widened "You're one of them, what are you doing here! I'm not on the wanted list for all I know why would you hunt me down in the dimension of the mortals!", the demon screamed in sheer unbelieve.

The vampire did a good job injecting his corrupting runs into her humming. But she had another plan. While humming she started to also draw runes with her hooves on the ground. Both of them are unable to move freely while they are casting runes, so she was sure that this would surprise him enough to break his concentration. A clone of her emerged from the runes she drew on the ground and jumped at the vampire.
"For sports," said the devil and let the demon disappear into a power sucking plane of existence where he will die. He reappeared in the real world and with no plan run into the vampire.
The second the vampire was off of his feet Lucy had finished the spell and released it. It would take two seconds for the spell to take effect. That two seconds the clone ran to Artyom and pushed him away from the enemy. At that moment the vampire busted into flames burning him and the clone down into ashes.
"Eh whew. That's it? "
"Well, yeah. Vampires are not easy to kill for other hunters they would have had to use holy water and stuff like that, which may not even work on an SS Vampire. My runes are very deadly for such foes. Also, I'm very happy I'm not your enemy", she said while touching his hoof which made her body shiver. "I can feel, that you're not an easy enemy to have."
"I am just a middle-class devil. The most I do is organize a bunch of foot soldiers. As I said. The rank is seen in the coat..." he took her hoof and rubbed it, "I wonder who was the top in their relationship... " he hummed and looked around, "churches... just dig a kilometer under one and you reach this planets hell."

"What do you mean with the top of their relationship?", she asked.
"Who fucked who in the ass. That demon said the vampire gives him pleasure. He compared our little friendship the same way. But there is no pact between us so eh What does he know "
"I think he meant pleasure from killing", Lucy said with a straight face. "Well let's get out of here the Quest master has lifted the barrier." At that moment said pony stepped into the church. His hooves emitted smoke as he touched the floor of the building. "Quest master you're not to step onto holy ground did you forget?", she said with shock. But he seemed unwilling to get out of the church again. Instead, he stepped right next to both of them. "I will escort you to the Guild Master Lucy, you too Artyom", he said then waited if there would be any objections.
Artyom shrugged nonchalantly and stepped behind them. Ready to follow.
"I am all yours"

With a movement of the Quest masters Hoof, they were standing in the middle of the Hunters HQ. "We're here", he replied and vanished again. The Guild master looked right at Artyom then at Lucy, suddenly he smiled the softest smile a pony could give. He had dark, black fur and red eyes. The white mare ran to him and laughed while hugging him. "Nevio!", she said as if she had missed him for more then a hundred years. "Ah, Lucy, it's good to see you again and you've found company, too. So I've heard at least. Welcome Artyom, you two are here as my guests." Lucy stepped back a bit. "But, why?", she asked.
"Can't a cousin invite his favorite cousin without her asking why?", he laughed. "I will soon tell you the reason, but for now enjoy the stay and show Artyom around. Mira bell will show you two your room." A mare took a step forward, there was something odd about her like she wasn't supposed to be a pony.
"Hi there, nevi. I am a devil!" aid Artyom and followed Lucy wherever
Nevio looks at him and came a bit closer. "And a strong one at that." The Guild master came closer. "The eyes are the window to the soul and I see a lot of things in yours." Then Nevio lowered his outer defenses and showed him the depths of his very soul looking deep into his eyes. Nothing but darkness was in his soul and something wild and untamed entrapped in this complete darkness.
"Nice," said Artyom as he stepped closer. Foreheads nearly touching. "Strength isn't everything. It's the spells that count... " he stepped closer whispered, "you are cute, evil. "

"Am I?" he laughed and closed his defenses again, but before then he let Artyom catch a glimpse of what he really is. Deep red eyes looked at him and the picture of a Dragon formed in his head. "Most ponies don't even know what magic is anymore. I like him, Lucy. Even when faced with me he is confident in himself. I will give my permission if you'd ever ask me about that." He vanished into a black cloud.

Mira bell stepped in front of them. "Let me show you your rooms", she said and started walking.
"I just realized..." Artyom's whispered to Lucy, " that I tried to avoid that kind of job when going on vacation"
A disembodied voice in his head said, "That's why you are here." It was Nevio voice. Mirabell showed them their rooms. "These rooms are magically sealed so no one can contact or disturb you in them." Lucy bopped Mirabell's nose and chuckled. "Say thanks to him and thank you too. I know you have something to do with this." The Mare smiled. "Have some fun you two we'll meet each other tomorrow at Dawn. You have permission to use every part of the complex except the private rooms from other hunters. Your magical signatures are working as keys around here", she said to Artyom. "So please don't suppress your magic if you want to move freely in these halls."
He clicked with his tongue in understanding. DA hell are you doing in my head? Artyom's asked nevi. as he watched Lucy go into the room
"Relax it's just a normal way of communicating with me", then he left Artyom's head.
stupid sexy nevi.

Lucy entered the room. She knew the private rooms of the HQ are not normal. "Let's see, do you wanna take a nice warm bath?" She said while the room changed to fulfill her wish. "He, I see. That was the thing they meant with "Tell the room what you want."
"I am hells tired actually."
"Then let's go to bed", she replied with a smile. A door appeared on the wall making an entrance to the sleeping room.
He nodded and entered the other room.
"You haven't said anything about the way I addressed your cousin"
"What way?", she asked. Clearly, she didn't notice the way he spoke to Nevio.
"I called him cute?"
She grinned "Oh, right you did, but that's not a bad thing. I think he likes you, too", she teased him.
He smiled back, "where would you see me there? Top or bottom?" dressed
"It depends on his mood I would think", she replied. "But normally, you can trust me, you would not be the one taking advantage of him."
"I am so relieved. Now I can drop you and pursue a true monster in bed." He lied on the bed after saying that playfully. He needed sleep
Lucy took him into a soft grip and made the big spoon for him. Then she said with a lovingly soft voice. "Hush now, little devil, we can tease each other tomorrow. For now, it's time to rest and to relax with me."
He was already counting sheep. good night
