Corruption of Souls

We returned home, exhausted and kinda fulfilled in a ‘job well done’ way rather than our accustomed ‘sexed out’ way. We’d spent all night molding the Chaos Demons into more society-friendly forms. It didn’t help the Drider, Quelia, kept making passes at us and Shiny once We’d molded her into an 8 foot tall Drider-morph with her drider half able to turn into normal-ish legs like in CoC. That lioness/spider was absolutely starved for sex, but neither of us were willing to accomodate, not at the time due to the situation.
Regardless, We’ve fixed our mistakes, helped out our husband and his kingdom and figured out how to use our slime to its potential. “Hey Wiatr~!” Runner greeted us as we passed each other. He, like the others, had taken to staying anthro while here since the locals here didn’t even know what a human was beyond descriptions provided by Displaced.
“Hi Runner.” We smiled. He’d grown close to our heart quickly. He was quirky and fun to be around.
“Sup babe.” Collateral said from his towering 14-foot height with a cheery wave as he approached.
“Hi Cole.” We smiled at the beefy hulk of a wolf.
“Good to see you!” Pillar called from where he had been talking to some soldiers only to approach us as well.
“How are you do-?” We were interrupted by an unfamiliar echo in our head.
“Wiatr. I get home and you’re out for once?” Hunter asked, suddenly in front of us in his anthro form like the rest and We blinked. We were surrounded by the boys save for Berserker and We felt our tails fluff up at the attention. “We heard about what happened with your wives. Are you okay?” He asked, looking taller than before, but was still the shortest.
“Hnng~ they’re all so tall, buff, sexy~! If only they were giants too!”
“We’re fine…” We looked at the four of them and felt oddly crowded. “Um...We are kinda tired-.”
“Let’s get you to bed.” Runner insisted out of the blue before he wrapped an arm around our shoulders and urged us towards our Keep with the others following.
“Th-that’s the plan, but you all don’t have to-.” Pillar leaned over so We could see his face.
“Every time we turn away something seems to happen to you and your loved ones. At least for today, let us keep watch over you as you recover.” Pillar insisted when we reached the Keep. Pharos wasn’t home, he must be off playing in the forest.
“Boys, We Love you and appreciate what you’re trying to do, but We have so much work to do.” We whined in dismay that We have so much to get done still. We left that request for the quarry unsigned and everything.
“Not today. Someone’s covering for you.” Runner grinned and We felt our massive fennec ears bend back in worry. Who did he rope into doing our work for us?
(<3)
“I can’t believe I’m doing her work.” Spike grumbled, annoyed at having found himself back home in Unity from the Dragonlands where he’d been helping Smolder manage things with Ember having vanished on them.
If that wasn’t enough, then this scary wolf-rabbit guy coerced him into doing Wiatr’s suddenly backlogged paperwork for her. “When this is done, I’m gonna fuck her so full of eggs she won’t be able to leave the breeding center!” Spike snarled in frustration as he rubbed his groin with a wince since he’d neglected to breed during the season.
Something the young dragon was never going to repeat and he knew who was going to help him out with this later.
(<3)
“Stud alert! A hot stud wants to egg us!”
We suddenly have a sense of impending pleasure for later, somehow. We have a ‘sex sense’?
“Fine, but We might have trouble sleeping.” We admitted, since even though We’ve been up all night, We’re still Undead and the urgency to do work was a real sleep killer. “We’re Undead even if We don’t look like it. We don’t need to sleep, but We do it to keep our sanity and to keep from Hollowing.”
“Not any longer, with a true immortal that is me, we never need to sleep. It’s nice to though.”
“Then I’ll work some magic on you to help you relax. I’ll even cuddle!” Runner insisted eagerly.
“We’ll all cuddle.” Collateral added in, the boys all looking pleased as punch with their tails wagging happily and We smiled softly at how much they cared. Especially since Runner, Collateral, and Pillar aren’t nearly as familiar to us as Hunter is.
“Are these little puppies really feared by hell? They’re adorable!”
“Thanks boys.” We yawned, feeling the stress ease off knowing they...oh no, here comes another round of worrying. “How are our wives and Visi?”
“Visilia is recovering well. She spent all night talking to your wives and doing other bonding activities that don’t involve sex.” Hunter informed us with a soft smile. “At least until Cadence showed up and started an orgy that Visi slept through. I’m not exactly happy that she accidentally got pregnant before having a child with me, but I understand that it was unusual circumstances.”
“Sorry...all our fault. We never should’ve had that incredibly awesome transformation unbirth to rebirth roleplay sex.” We groused, regretting that night so much. It only brought us all trouble. Well, not next time -there will be a next time- now that We know to reabsorb our Morph Slime.
“If it wasn’t such a female-oriented thing I would’ve liked a try at that.” Runner admitted with a grin and We grinned back.
“Oh? You seemed to enjoy being a woman in that picture with Berserker~.” We teased and he paled incredibly, especially when We morphed to match the body we saw. Busty hourglass with bubble booty and all, We even smirked and wiggled our bunny ears.
“W-Who showed you that?!” Runner demanded in embarrassment, but We noticed his pelvis moved more than the rest of him. You liked that huh? We squeezed her bowling-ball sized boobs with our biceps and Runner looked like his nose was about to explode. Narcissist~!
“Visi.” Hunter guessed. “Since you both lost that bet.” We’re surprised he didn’t read our mind for the answer.
“I’m keeping him out.”
“Yes.” We chuckled while leaning into Runner, pressing her breasts against his chest and purring hungrily, the bunny-wolf’s eyes were wide and We widened our own eyes with a manic grin. “We want to put some bunnies in your oven Runner~.”
“H-holy fuck...I am terrifyingly sexy.” Runner whimpered as he leaned away from us and We backed away with a pout.
“What? Can’t handle your own sexy craziness?” We teased before a scroll popped into existence and dropped into Runner’s cleavage. “See! Look at this! You have a natural shelf!”
“Bro, she’s got you there. At least Bryan mostly had it all in the booty.” Collateral joked after We returned to our base kitsune form and opened the scroll to see it was an update from Twilight.
“What is it?” Pillar inquired while he patted Runner on the scalp, the yellow bunny-wolf still on the back-paw from our genderbending teasing.
“An update from Twilight. We haven’t gotten one in a few days, but this is marked as four weeks later than the last update. They’ve found Luna but are now trapped in a nightmare with The Good Hunter imprisoned in his Dream, unable to help them.” We informed the boys with bemusement.
“Oh no.” Runner groaned as he placed his face in his hands. “They need to find the source and slay it. That isn’t easy considering the source empowers the dream and vice-versa.”
“Berserker has been raging through the dream alongside a legion of beasts augmented by his blood. They are more beastly yet more stable according to Applejack and Rainbow Dash after they accepted his blood. Twilight sent this in the fear it might be her last one…” We wilted in worry at that notion.
“Guess it’s a good thing We’re about to-.”
Our musing on getting some rest was interrupted when another scroll appeared, but it was stained with blood. “Uh, maybe you shouldn’t touch-?” Runner’s words were ignored by us snatching it to see what was up.
“This one is another week later? Is the nightmare warping time more and making it move faster? Twilight’s writing is a hasty scrawl, but it says they found the source and are tearing through a tomb to get to it. Alucard and Seras are there helping them, but Twilight and the others are hearing and seeing things that aren’t there and Luna is trying her best to keep them sane.” This doesn’t seem any better than the previous one-.
The blood on the page suddenly splashed over the words, forming a face that made us scream and clutch our eyes in agony, but it was too late! Our vision was filled with things We couldn’t comprehend as We fell to our knees and our mind felt like it was being scoured with steel wool!
“Gah! Not on my watch~! Out! Get out you parasite!”
Our pain suddenly began to lessen, but it got even better when Runner grabbed our head and muttered rapidly in some gibberish, slowly making the maddening visions fade as the cursed letter burned from a flamethrower courtesy of Collateral.
Another letter came and We screamed fearfully, scurrying away from it. This one was even more bloodstained, to the point the parchment was still wet with ichor. “Should I torch it?” Collateral asked with a fearful tone. Upon hearing his own fear We managed to look up at the boys and they were all visibly and genuinely terrified.
“Just burn it.” Runner hissed and Collateral did so, the fire turning green as horrific shrieks pealed from the cursed scroll. “We’re here Wiatr. You’re okay.” Runner soothed, running his fingers over our scalp and ears.
Our comfort ceased when another scroll arrived, but thankfully this one was plain and simple. We tentatively touched it, then took it when nothing evil happened. It was in Luna’s handwriting and informed us that everyone was still alive. This was set almost a month after the first bloodstained letter and it seemed they were about to go for a final confrontation. “Are they coming back soon then?” We questioned ourselves, so very worried.
They will never return
“Get! Lost! Grr!”
“Guys? How will they be okay?” We whined uneasily, feeling off, weak. Something isn’t right.
“Fuck. We’ll be okay girls! Hear me for once! We’ll be okay!”
“Berserker is there. There’s no way they would not be fine.” Runner said with a deadpan. “The only problem they would have would be finding the source and coming out sane.”
“Freedom~!” Crowed Luna’s voice, causing us all to spin around and see Luna enter the front gates trailed by 5 enormous lumbering horribly mutated beastly ponies. They were too mutated, shaggy-furred, filthy and hunched over in exhaustion with huge canvas tents/robes hiding their forms to tell who was who, but all were visibly exhausted and not willing to talk as they followed Luna, who looked well and beyond battered and tired herself as she led them up the stairs on the left. “Guest wing on the left as is custom?”
“Yes! Are all of you alright?” We asked, but the response from the biggest beast was to flip us off as they climbed upstairs and went down the hall to the guest rooms. “Guess not.” A pit is in our chest, the world feels different. So dizzy…
“Breathe girls. Stay calm. I’m doing my best!”
“Guys.” We all turned to see Berserker enter. He was covered in dripping blood, his clothes were tattered rags, even the chains wrapped around his arms were broken and hanging loose. His body had changed, more muscular than before with his hair a little longer and spikier. He even had a transformed left eye similar to Runner’s right eye. The iris was red and the pupil white. It felt different. It didn’t help that his formerly regal lupine features seemed more feral, violent. That’s not an artefact, that’s part of him. Grafted, like eyes tend to be.
So many eyes. Eyes within, without, the sky, the sea. Insight to Truth. Kos, or some say, Kosm. Do you hear our prayers? Grant us eyes, grant us eyes!
“Keep it together! You have enough eyes already!”
“Love?” We whined and whimpered, unable to speak in the face of the madness We just suffered through and seeing everyone return in horrible condition. Also everything looks off, like everything is slightly left of center.
“You’d understand already if you didn’t go leaping into goddesshood! Stay with me!”
Berserker made an attempt to move, but fell to the floor with a heavy thud. We instinctively sprung across the foyer to him and coated him in our slime instantly. We dispensed our holy healing milk all over him at once and even wormed a tube of slime down his throat to pump milk into his stomach a bit. He gagged and We flowed off him, hugging his face to our bosom as We reformed in front of him from a puddle.
We blinked woozily. Did Bryan always have eyes in his scalp?
“Gah...fuck...Wiatr?” Berserker asked with a cough as his clean lupine face didn’t reach his still normal eye. “Are you alright? You don’t look like your usual self.”
“Huh?” We blinked our many eyes before shaking our head to clear the cobwebs. “We were about to go to bed and get some rest. Obviously We need it and you’re coming to bed with us. Boys?” We prompted and with no further direction, Pillar and Collateral hefted Berserker to his paws and we all walked to the nearest bedroom in the royal wing where we piled onto the thankfully gigantic bed and all snuggled up to each other with us being in the very middle. “This was not a good day. We just wanted to see Runner as a sexy lady and maybe indulge in pretend twincest.”
“Well, it’s only morning.” Runner blushed as he scratched the back of his head.
“No gender swapping, no teasing, flirting, rubbing, moving, or talking. Shut up. Sleep.” Berserker mumbled as he hugged us to his chest. Considering the crap he’s been through he outvoted the rest of us. We just shrugged and wrapped our tails around everyone else while pulling Runner closer and closed our eyes.
“Rest. I’ll see about-.”
(<3)
We opened our eyes in three different perspectives at once instead of our usual unified one. We looked around at the white-sand beach we had found ourselves laying on in near pitch darkness save the pale moon overhead. “What happened?” We asked in unison from three voices, minds, souls. We were one soul though. How could We be three? We sat up and looked at each other in confusion. This is...wrong. Something is wrong.
“I’m here too! Hear me you idiots!”
“Greetings.” We turned our gaze and all began panting in fear, backing away on our butts from the approaching impossibly lanky man-shaped patch of pure darkness come to mock. “So this is how your soul manifests. No wonder you managed not to go insane with a single glimpse of my face.”
“Get out! You are not welcome!” A new voice snarled as we froze at the sensation of something massive behind us, but a quick look revealed nothing.
“Nyarlathotep.” Luna’s voice echoed in the very air and the monster that was coming for us stopped. “You have no power in this realm. Begone! You shall not touch my beloveds!”
“Hey, asshole!” Looking behind him we saw all five of the boys ready to maul the entity threatening us.
“We think we’re going to be sick...” We groaned as we all shimmered like we were half here, half not. “What’s happening...?” We mewled weakly as we wavered both mentally and physically while we shivered and huddled together as impossible sounds that hurt the very soul screeched from the Interloper as he battled the Doom Slayers. “H-help...we…”
“Nononononono! Hold on! Damn it!” The new voice snarled as a mind-hurting ripple in reality wound around us and was accompanied by the sensation of strong arms holding us to a comforting bosom. We’re so tired… “Fuck! FUCK! Don’t-!”
(<3)
“Ah!” I screamed as I bolted up in bed. I gasped and choked for air as condensation beaded on my scales despite the chill and I looked around. “Shit, where am I? Where are they?” I asked frantically of myself since I was alone.
I’m alone.
“No...I failed…” I whimpered and clutched my skull with my clawed hands, gritting my teeth as I shivered from the cold. “N-no! I’m not going to just give up! This clearly is still a Nightmare, they have to be somewhere!” I stood and gathered the thin sheets from the bed around me for warmth as I hurried to the fancy wooden door of the room I’d woken up in.
I had to smash the door open because it was stuck and I poked my head out to make sure I wasn’t about to be ambushed. I shivered from the cold and wished I had a torch I could breathe fire on for warmth as I jogged down the hall. I paused as I passed a dirty mirror. Curious, I rubbed the mirror with the sheet to reveal my sexy draconic self with my gold front from chest to groin while black scales covered the rest. All tastefully patterned with stripes of red. My wings had black for the limb and bones with a gold membrane also striped in red.
I looked exactly as I remembered the last time I was alive and in a form suitable for fornicating with the pygmies. Invaders or not they knew how to have a good time. Wait, no, bad Ember. You have more at stake here than yourself. Find the rest of Wiatr and fucking browbeat them back into place if you have to, have raunchy self-fantasies later. Shaking my head and rubbing the horn curving back from my right temple, I continued down the freezing cold hall, shivering.
Eventually I came across a lounge with a piano and various other filthy, dusty, sheet-covered things. I neared the balcony connected to it and pushed open the heavy wood doors, ignoring the squeals of protest that they gave as I walked out into the freezing cold still air. It was pitch dark, no stars in the sky. The only light was that of the moon, turning the mountainous land before me silver.
“Okay, where are they? I’ve seen no sign of anyone here but me. Did that bastard just toss me across the Nightmare?” I growled uneasily at how lost I was. It isn’t often I’m caught so flat-pawed like this. I sighed and turned to go inside-.
I fell to my knees, my body a puppet without strings. Hail Nyarlathotep, for he comes to mock and bring the world to its knees. Don't fail to see Nyarlathotep if he comes to Providence. He is horrible, horrible beyond anything you can imagine, but wonderful.
No! They’re inside me! Fuck!
“Grrr no! I will not be a puppet!” I snarled as I fought against the Entity’s attempts to enslave my soul mates where he’d fused them within me. “I won’t let you have them! You won’t have me!” I keened in agony as my vulnerable quarters within my essence twisted at this fucker’s whim!
“That is a good child. Listen and obey.” I saw the Dark of the great and unholy Nyarlathotep bleed across my vision. “This world, and all worlds. Shall crumble.” As he wishes, so it shall be-.
“No! You hear me, Charlatan! I’m on your level! I am not a puppet!” I raged as I struggled to stand, shocking the monster as my will manifested in this Nightmare as gray mist covered all. “I am not your Puppet! They are not your puppets! Wiatr does not bow!” I may have rejected being a goddess before, because Entities like this fuck count as gods! But damn it, I love these women, I’m part of them, I’ll accept it!
“Hmph, a mere remnant, a fragment refusing to join the whole. You are-.” A bullet slammed into his head and he stumbled back as I brandished the Infinity pistol. This is My Dream. “What? You dare attack your mas-~
“Die monster! You don’t belong in this world!” I interrupted him with a quote Willow would’ve thought suitable, but as it stood I’d just have to settle for hoping I didn’t screw it up.
Nyarlathotep was about to respond when a scythe sliced through the entity’s neck and he faded into shadow, revealing a haggard Luna. “Art thou well? Did he destroy thine sanity?” Asked the beautiful princess of the night that I would absolutely bang. Willow has great taste.
“What would you have me say Princess? Everything’s all hunky-dory? That fucker just mixed Willow, Daring, and Svartr’s brains and souls like a fucking blender!” I sniped back in frustration. It’s going to take ages to help them sort themselves back out~!
“No~! I’m too late!” Luna wailed in lament as she slumped against her scythe. “First Alucard, now Wiatr.” Luna then blinked and furrowed her brow. “Wait, there’s still hope. You’re that powerful subconscious voice that’s been in the back of Willow’s mind for ages?”
“No, I’m the person that’s been in Willow’s head since she absorbed my soul into herself instead of just taking my energy.” I huffed in response and rubbed my temples. “They’re in a mess but I’m here and they can be pieced back together. The subconscious urges are from that sexy bitch over there.” I thumbed over at the hot as hell golden lupine giantess lounging against the mountainside, her glorious gazongas comparable to hillsides.
“Hm?” Gwynivere hummed and lazily looked towards us. “Don’t bring me into this. I like being dead.”
“You’re not dead! You’re just a lazy bitch who’s content lingering in our souls and watching us fuck like rabbits!” I screamed at the busty babe who shrugged uncaringly.
“Yes, but I’m a dead god. You’re a dead something else. I’m done with my duties and it’s your job to take them up. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to rest. All this turmoil is exhausting.” The golden wolfess dismissed before dozing off and seeming to blend into the very mountains.
“Ember!” Snarled out a very angry voice as a big red wolf dragon man flew in and socked us across the face, sending us sprawling on the balcony. Owie~! “It’s about damn time you fucking got your shit in order!”
“What the Hell Aldin! We haven’t even seen one another in Eons and the first thing you do to your sister is punch her in the snout?!” My mind caught up with my mouth. “Aldin~!” I leaped to my claws and dove at him, wrapping my arms around my hunky brother and nuzzling his pecs.
“Nice to see you too, Ember.” Aldin sighed and hugged me back. “Sorry, but you’ve been beating around the bush long enough that I wanted to call you out on your bullshit.”
“Not that this isn’t touching, but Wiatr is still in peril and I won’t lose someone I love again, tell me what I might do to aid in her recovery.” Luna demanded with tears in her eyes.
“There’s nothing you can do, but be there for her. It’s going to take time and she’ll be confused for the longest while. I’ll be confused for the longest while…” I shivered in my brother’s strong arms, afraid. I’m going to do it. I’m going to...to meld permanently, inexorably with three others. I’ve been a part of them for a while now. But now...I will become them. They will become me.
“I-if that is so, then I will remain in Unity for the time being. Please, bring Wiatr back soon.” Luna morosely pleaded moments before she and the ruins of the mountaintop manor vanished.
Aldin and I are now on a beautiful sunny beach. I’m still as nude as before, but now the sun warmed my scales and I sighed in relief as the light glinted on my scales, especially off of my large golden red-striped bosom as Aldin and I continued to embrace. This was a dream, incest is fine here. Besides, tide and time has ensured our relationship is entirely psychological. I don’t have to avoid my sexy brother’s enticing body in reality either by this point.
“All those centuries having to use Arch-tree branches to beat you away, foiled by the passing of something as inconsequential as time.” Aldin huffed in amused resignation.
“Shut up and keep hugging me. I might not be who I am now soon.” I shivered despite the warmth. “I...I don’t want to die again Aldin. Will this be like death? Or will it be worse?”
“It will not be worse. It will be far better than the bland emptiness that awaits those avoiding reincarnation.” Aldin gently whispered into my left ear-fin and I whimpered before giving in to what I knew needed to be done. I mentally delved for what I felt would start the process.
After hitting something that clicked, a vulpine skull rose from the sand of the beach. It shimmered with Willow’s distinctive blue aura and shook the sand off of itself. “Huh, things must’ve gone real bad for me to be brought out.” Hey, he sounds like William before he became Willow “Got it in one hot-stuff. I’m Will, or remnants of him anyway.”
“A memory echo. You’ll definitely be a good start on piecing Wiatr back together.” I turned away from my brother, clutching my hands together under my breasts and took a cleansing breath. I can do this. I must. Wiatr will devolve into a mad goddess and possibly even dethrone Chaos if I don’t.
“I’m more than that. I’m all the Memories of William before he was Displaced. I’m like a save file if you will. I have been recording things from each level up and Auto Saving. Though that shadow fucker corrupted the latest Save Process by showing up.” Will muttered angrily as his eye sockets burned with Willow’s soulfire in fury at his job being interrupted.
“Well that’s convenient. At least Willow’s Displacer had a backup.” I sighed in relief. William will make the process take weeks at most instead of months or years.
“Yeah, pretty much. Right now I’m trying to unscramble that, not exactly easy with you up and about. Don’t get me wrong, if you weren’t we wouldn’t be standing here, but I need you to...shut down so I can do a hard reboot of us.” William’s words caused me to clench my eyes.
“So it’s time…” I gulped fearfully, looking at my brother and hoping it wouldn’t be the last time I see him. “Goodbye Aldin…”
“It’ll be like a dream Ember.” Aldin took my hands and kissed my knuckles. Wait, there’s something in his left eye-.
(<3)
*GASP* I sharply inhaled as I sat up in bed, a cold sweat dumping down my scales as I clutched the sides of my head. Or should it be our head? I’m having trouble finding any separate thought processes. I can’t pick out anything but me. Damn it, William was supposed to-!
“Wiatr?” I looked up with a jolt and blinked at the sight of Cadence in her full blue dress. “Aunt Luna said Nyalarthotep did something to Willow, Daring and Svartr. Are they okay?”
“I don’t know.” I sadly responded, looking down at my claws. “I’m...I can’t hear any thoughts but my own. I failed to protect them.” I whimpered and the pink mare quickly rushed to my side, hugging me and rocking me from side to side as she cooed soothingly, holding up my left hand and showing the beautiful diamond band on my ring finger.
“I’m one of your wives. Don’t worry. We’ll all be here for you too Ember, not just them.” The mare softly whispered. “I’m the Goddess of Love and I know even now you love me too.” I felt my cheeks redden. Damn does Willow know how to pick them...
“Thank you.” I wasn’t sure how comfortable I should feel about this-. “Eep!” I squeaked as my apparent wife tugged on my right nipple without warning, gushing glowing iridescent milk onto my lap. “W-why did you do that?”
“Just checking if you react like Wiatr does.” Cadence cheekily smirked and I blushed. “You get some rest Ember. Aunt Luna believes if you rest in here warded away from interlopers like Nyalarthotep that Wiatr should piece herself back together with stimulation from us all visiting.”
“Not all at once I hope.” I muttered uncomfortably at the idea of being mobbed by everyone at once. I’ve been an observer for so long it’ll be so weird to actually be an active participant in interacting with them.
“Of course not. Now you get to sleep, you’ll be fine if you sleep alone.” Cadence leaned in and kissed me tenderly on the lips, causing my wings and tail to stiffen in surprise before she backed away and my breath was stolen by the Love in her eyes. “We’ll take care of you Ember, you just take care of Wiatr for us until she’s back in top form.”
“K-kay…” I meekly replied, watching the Goddess -and isn’t it odd I find that term suiting now- leave the room with a ruffle of her wings and a flick of her beautiful tail before she closed the door. “Holy fuck I’m married to that beautiful woman?” The impact of the realization that I’m by-proxy married to all of Wiatr’s wives hit me like a mace and I fainted.
