Corruption of Souls

Ch.53

After a few days of hectic searching, there was not much of a trace of the Six Traitors. The Crystal Empire was still reporting back about the Chaos Demons, but things seemed under control for now. Also the Lust Demons were licking their wounds. Our wonderful little Chaos hellions were making life itself hell for them and their Caribou supporters.

As for Visilia’s Night Sentinels, they’ve been very instrumental in building up Unity’s own forces, having given us the means to do so. They oversee the recruitment and training, along with setting up defensive perimeters around the entire town itself. It was thanks to their heavily armoured vehicles and construction equipment that this was all shaping up so well. This was all to prepare for the assault by Hell and the Six that could come at any moment.

We were considering how to get all this stress out of our system aside from sex as We hummed while We made lunch for everyone and danced in the kitchen like a goob in casual clothes. Being a Princess isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. It’s all work, work, work more and-We smelled Visi approaching us from behind, her scent different from before.

“Everything alright?” Visi asked us as she neared.

“Too much is going on.” We sighed while cracking our neck to the side. We perked up at our Demon Princess’s arms wrapping around our waist, which We reciprocated with our twin tails.

“Hm, there’s only so much you can do.” Visi told us as she hugged us. “I can assure you with as much confidence I can muster, but it probably won’t alleviate you from your worries.”

“We guess.” We sighed as she hugged us tighter. “Are you wanting attention?” We rubbed our tail hands up and down her lower back and she shuddered, but didn’t do anything in response.

“No, but the others are waiting for their food.” Visi playfully reminded us.

“We don’t do things half assed.” We told her as We waved about the spatula indignantly. “Also, why is your scent different?”

“What?” Visi blinked before smelling herself.

“You smell odd. Whatever, We just need mayo for the sandwiches and then make some deviled eggs.” We declared as We gestured to the half prepped eggs off to the side.

“Oh, wait. I drank that potion you gave me.” Visilia told us which informed our horny perverted mind why she smelled more musky. “That must be it.”

“Huh...oh, yeah. So how’d it go?” We asked. We weren’t in the mood at the moment and unless she started teasing us, We wouldn’t be. We looked in the fridge in disappointment. “Dry BLTs then. Out of Mayo, We used the last of it for the deviled eggs.”

“It’s weird.” Visi answered, looking down at her clothed crotch. We again lament how this world’s hammer-space dynamics make it so male anatomy down there was a mystery until the pants came off. “I mean, seriously, there’s a lot of new sensations that come with it that I’m still getting used to. I didn’t even realise it would give you a male scent in the mix. Also, peeing standing up was really surreal.”

“It was sort of the same, but in reverse when Willow became female.” We shared casually. Two thirds of us-

“Three quarters!”

-Three quarters of us were female already-wait. What? No, there’s only three of us. Where did that come from?

“Damn it!”

“You said it.” Visi nodded in agreement.

“If you feel like testing if you can have foals with it, We’re willing to get in touch.” We chuckled as We piped the whipped egg yolks back into their hard-boiled whites with a cut-corner sandwich bag while We used a tail to sprinkle smoked paprika on them.

“Um.” Visi surprisingly bit her lip, but then shook herself. “Maybe another time when I’m used to this thing.” Is that a nervous hesitation there? Quite unlike her.

We chuckled as We kept prepping. “Tell the others that they can get the sandwiches if they don’t mind dry BLTs.”

“Alright.” Visi said before walking towards the others and telling them that the sandwiches are ready. They all rushed past her and started grabbing their food. The Gaggle of Chaos spawn meant I had to feed armies when they were here. Visi was almost run over by the mob. “Ugh! Unruly little shits.” She grumbled while dusting herself off.

“They’re still our kids.” We defensively leered at her and she flinched. “Just be glad they usually have nursemaids to bother for food they can’t be bugged to make themselves.” This was all because Hermais, Dongoruas and Eris wanted us to ‘be a mom’ once in a while for our relationship. We would gladly do this all the time if life didn’t insist We had no time outside what We get in the bedroom. Thus whenever this happened, We made time.

There was a chime and We turned to see a jar of mayo with a gold serpent sticker on it. This has also been happening a lot. That strange serpent that called our sons her brothers and informed us why Hermais and Dongoruas were raping us was leaving ‘gifts’. We were hesitant to use her ‘gift’ so We just put it in the fridge. For all We knew it’d turn us into a draconequus and this world couldn’t possibly handle that! We’re Chaotic enough!

“Yeah, yeah. I know.” Visi huffed in annoyance and avoided looking at us in our displeased eyes.

“I know you don’t like them, but We still love them.” We declared as We looked over the eggs.

“I know. They’re your children.” Visillia sighed in resignation.

“Is there anything you want us to make?” We asked when We finished the eggs. “We’re in the kitchen and Willow is a good cook. Feel free to make requests.” We found it funny and humbling that although Daring was a plucky adventurer and Svartr a battle-hardened war veteran, neither of them could do more than make trail mix or hardtack.

“Hey, that’s more than I’ve ever done.”

“Some tea would be nice.” Visi requested hesitantly. We’re a bit upset but We’re not going to bite your head off since the moment has passed Visi.

“Well that’s not even food.” We chuckled before waving our tail hands and summoned the tea kettle and a box of tea bags while We handed the platter of deviled eggs to Visi. “Take this out for the others please.”

“Alright.” Visilia nodded before she set out to do what We asked of her. Considering she deeply dislikes our little rapscallions, hopefully that’ll be enough punishment for insulting our children.

“Hm, hm, hm. Excellent~. Our devious plan is coming to fruition! She has taken the potion and soon she may come to the Herm Side! Mwua ha, ha, ha~!” We fiendishly declared to ourselves as We filled the kettle with water and set it on the stove.

“Really? Well it’s not that bad. I’m maybe the only natural herm in us.”

We felt a bit odd and put a hand to our head. Whatever it was We shook our head as We saw Hermais approach. “Mom, can I have something called beer? Dad mentioned it.”

“No. Have a soda.” We told him as We yanked open the fridge and grabbed a can of carbonated sugar-death to shove a root beer into his hands. “It’s just as bad for you, if not worse. At least it won’t make you a danger to everyone around you.” The unsaid ‘more than usual’ was so heavily implied We were surprised he didn’t pick up on it as he jogged away with glee, going between our legs and kissing our thighs, which sent scarily pleasurable tingles into us. B-bad boy!

Say what you will, that boy is dangerously intelligent, but still a kid. Even if he had a library in his private pocket dimension and was stealing books from other dimensions to fill it with, he was still learning at the pace of a child. “Now, if only We could get him to stop looking at us affectionately in a sexual way. Even his brother stopped right after and started pining for the changeling tending the bar just outside. Of course he might just be gay.”

“Wiatr, Cocoa just killed someone!” Sabrina yelled as she rushed towards the dining area from the front door in a sprint.

“What?!” We yelped and followed her back outside, minding the children as Visilia followed us. We got outside to find Cocoa right next to the doors, covered in blood while ripping a hand out of a very, very dead stallion. After the hand was removed his body flashed green and turned into that of an Incubus. “What’s going on!” We demanded as our local non-Sentinel guards arrived on the scene. Where were you, you useless fools?! At least two of you are supposed to be on our front door!

“Infiltrator. Bastard tried to get into throne room.” Cocoa snarled, the wicked wave-blade kris dagger in her hand dripped fresh Corrupted ichor as she flicked it around. This isn’t the time, but hot damn is Cocoa sexy in full-on blood-drenched killer mode.

“Are you fucking serious?” Visilia snarled in disbelief as she glared at the dead Incubus.

“Yes. Cocoa thinks he was rookie too. Most likely a test.” Cocoa spat on the body. “They getting desperate or dumb.” Cocoa kicked the corpse.

“How did you find him?” We asked in amazement. She was a former succubus, sure, but she was just a lowly sergeant.

“Cocoa was trained to do the job.” She explained and everyone got on edge, the guards aiming their weapons at her. “Cocoa killed him and Cocoa is pure and married to the Princess of this town. Why would Cocoa betray you then tell you Cocoa trained to do his job?”

“I...what?” We asked in shock. We couldn’t even comprehend the very idea of Cocoa being an assassin. She was just so...so...Cocoa!

“That still would’ve been helpful to know beforehand!” Visilia berated Cocoa who glared back and bared her teeth while her ears bent back. Whoa-shit she can be scary!

“Cocoa feared would be ostracized.” Cocoa growled as she went to lick the blade of her dagger, only to catch herself and hold it away like it was covered in poison. “Cocoa forgot about Corruption.” Then she looked at herself, seeing her blouse, jeans, everything was sprayed in the dead demon’s blood. “...Cocoa...missed this…” Cocoa then rubbed a hand on the blood on her, gasping in a disturbingly erotic manner. “...Cocoa needs a bath, but first, could someone sever his head for Cocoa?”

“Certainly.” Visilia snarled as she summoned her sword from whatever high-tech storage thingy she and others from her dimension used and quickly decapitated the fresh corpse in a single swing, even gouging into the yellow bricks of the main path.

“Good, kept head intact.” Cocoa said when she grabbed the head. “Do not be alarmed at Cocoa’s display.” Cocoa warned us all, holding the head up in her left hand as she reached down her pants and began publicly fingering herself. We looked at the shocked crowd in worry until Cocoa’s hand holding the head enshrouded in black with her eyes doing the same, making the head wordlessly scream as she panted in arousal. “Cocoa got where he from. Base in Savage Divide Mountains northwest past Explored Lands. Whispers of someone called Storm King fending off Lust Demons with weather. Seems why they’ve stopped attacking past few weeks.”

“Sergeant Krimzon!” Visi shouted and Krimzon along with a few other Night Sentinels appeared out of thin air next to her. “I need you to take a squad and do some reconnaissance. You are to find where exactly this enemy base within the Savage Divide Mountains is. Scout out the place and return when you finish. After we’ve read up on your findings we’ll launch an attack on those bastards. Go!”

“Yes, your highness!” They chorused before they vanished.

“So we’ve got a lead now.” We nodded at Cocoa and Visi before looking around at the peanut gallery. “Show’s over folks! Get back to your daily lives!” We ordered and visibly expressed our displeasure so they went scurrying off. “We have damage control to do behind closed doors now. We hate politics.”

“I’ll help you out with that.” Visilia sighed as she put her sword away.

“Cocoa not sorry.” Cocoa huffed as she flicked her dagger, spraying blood onto the ground.

“You shouldn’t be, you did the right thing, but now We’ll have trouble with the prudes headed by a few nobles.” We grumbled as We leered down at the amateur assassin.

“I’m kind of glad Berserker hasn’t fully recovered. If he was he’d end up causing more harm than good.” Thinking on Visi’s comment, even We saw reason in that and nodded in agreement. Berserker’s not exactly a diplomatic person, then again, no berserker ever is. They just want to be done with whatever they’re facing and move on to the next issue.

“So now We most likely have to deal with the demands of locking up former demons by telling those idiots to shove it up their asses.” We groaned as We guided Cocoa into our home. “Don’t worry Cocoa, you’ll be safe here.”

“Cocoa knows. She’ll go to bathroom to clean up before retiring early.” Cocoa smooched us and nodded to Visilia before going to do as she said.

“There’s just no way Cocoa isn’t on our side, but knowing how especially touched in the head nobles are, they might also suspect me to be like Cocoa as well. However, I have the Night Sentinels protecting me. Not even the nobles are crazy enough to move against them.” Visilia commented as she followed us towards the throne.

“Please, Unity is under our rule and We have yet to appoint a Noble Family. The only nobles here are the ones who wanted a third or fourth home away from the big city. Where the pressure will come from is Canterlot because Unity is a small town and they’ll think their money will pressure us to bend over backwards for them. However, Unity uses soul energy for most of its services, not bits, so in turn we’re self sufficient, meaning we don’t depend on Canterlot nobility to keep the roads, wards and other needs running and maintained.” Most of those are established and maintained by public-minded folks anyway who care more about having those amenities than charging for them. “We’re not about to be backed into a corner like Twilight is with Ponyville.”

“Don’t remind me just how corrupt they are despite the dire situation the world is in.” Visilia let out a sigh of annoyance.

“If they raise a big fuss We’ll kick them out with that explanation and then have to deal with Tia complaining about them whining to her. This is our town and We rule it.” We growled after We sat on our throne. “And our lovely fox here will put that point across.” We used our magic to pull the curtain open a bit, the researchers huffed in disapproval, but kept working because they’d already pumped Urta for more of her Argent earlier this morning.

“If they really want to make things difficult, they can get in mah belleh!” Urta cheered. She was nearly 18 feet across now and only getting bigger. We were worried We’d have to get our home extended even further since she’s only barely a fifth of the way done with those babies.

“That’s not very far.” We chuckled while looking over towards the dining area and then sighed at seeing our chaos spawn had vacated during the commotion. Damn it, We don’t get to be a mom often...

“Well that, along with our armies.” Visi added with an amused smirk at our running gag of using Urta as an executioner. Though to be honest, Urta would definitely do it. Apparently vore was one of the ways they executed rapists and murderers in Tel’Adre. Urta never did it, but it wasn’t an issue to her.

“Funnily enough We’re the Military Capital thanks to the Night Sentinels and with them training an army. Not even the Crystal Empire is this militaristic. Unity has become Equestria’s Military backbone. Think about how the Nobles will take that. Before the Empire they had the armies, now the new small settlement right next door controls the military power.” We grimaced at the fact that technically We have all the power in the nation, but We don’t want it. We’d rather toss this all at Tia and Lulu and be done with it. Being a ruler is hard~!

“But it’s all worth it in the end! You’ll see!”
