Howl at the Moon
Lessons and Couples
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"The Twelve Rulers of Tarturus are, obviously, twelve demons of immense power that rule Tarturus. While Hades rules over all of the underworld, with Tarturus being a part of it, the twelve rulers give him a run for his money every once in a while. The names of the twelve rulers, are Acara, Sologrog, Egrtoth, Harkness, Tophreltes, Tirik, Scorpan, who has stepped down from his post as one of the twelve a long time ago, and Satan took his place. After him we have Ancritin, Acara's brother, Pimtents, Yelgling, Molagan, and the leader of them, Singrang." Twilight finally finished her lecture.
"So is that a power scale, or is that you just telling me their names? Because I wanna know how powerful you think she was, and how powerful her brother is for when he comes for revenge."
"Acara was about number 6 on the ladder, with her brother coming in at 4. Tophreltes is 5." Twilight answers.
"And Satan? What rank is he?" I ask. "Oh he's twelfth, the weakest." She replies quickly. I was not very surprised. We continued to talk about other things for the rest of the hour.
Finally, Rainbow Dash looked up from the spear and asked, "How did you kill her? And was that her body that Derpy brought to you?"
"Yes, that was her body, or what little remained after I drained her of her blood. And from what it ate. How I killed her was I let my blade feed upon her, to dispose of the body in a way she wouldn't return. Hopefully. I don't know how demons work here in Equestria."
"What do ya mean ya let yer blade feed upon her? You got something we don't know about that eats Ponies?" Applejack asks, trying to figure out what I meant.
"Wait, are you telling me that that sword you said to not touch because it would eat you wasn't a lie, darling?" Rarity says, making Applejack turn to her and say.
"Sword that eats you? That's just bullshit right? That type of thing don't exist?" the apple farmer says denying it as best she can.
I stand up and pull out my god eater. I show them it, and they recognize it as the one I fought Discord with. "This sword is called a God-Eater. it is an entity that can switch forms, as it is a special made entity. Most of the other weapons like this are either melee or range. This is both. It takes ammo to fire it's massive shells, the ones you saw me shoot Discord with. It comes from eating the entities that are in it's home universe. I used it to eat the scorpion part of the demon, but it ripped of the stinger before feeding. When it was done, I picked the bitch up, and told her to give my regards to wherever she goes next. I then used the stinger to end her. It had an anticoagulant that made your body over produce blood, to ensure that you bleed out painfully. I used every last drop in her stinger, and she bled from every part of her body that wasn't bleeding already. It was gruesome, but she had hurt my town. Also, since it will come out sooner or later, this is what I am here for. To hunt down the demons that come in."
It's a partial lie, one that doesn't seem to go unnoticed by Applejack, but as the girls are looking at other things than me, I raise my finger to my lips, and hope she understands why. She nods, and I give her a look of thanks.
Then she says "So you let yer sword eat her? Then why did you take so long, cause I doubt that it eats slow?"
"I think it decided to take it's precious time, because it ate her piece by piece, slowly, ripping chunks off. Fluttershy, if you need to go throw up, the bathroom is down the hall on the left. Second door." The shy mare runs down, and moment later, you can hear her retching. I feel bad, I really do. It isn't pretty making someone as innocent as her cry. But Twilight needed to know what had happened.
"Alright, I just need Spike to send this report. I can do it when I get home, or have Rainbow go and have him send it, and get the response." Twilight says while rolling up a scroll.
"I think it's time for you to go home. It's not out of extended hospitality, but I am pretty sure that you probably have things that I am keeping you from doing. You got to help the Mayor with the rebuilding, Twilight. And Applejack, I doubt they couldn't use your strength. Fluttershy, she will be needed in case of medical treatment, or animals that are hurt, which I don't like thinking of. Rarity, I doubt that you couldn't improve some of the buildings with your artistic expertise. You all have lives outside me. Go live them."
"Your right! Crap, I totally forgot that I needed to help Mayor Mare write a report of the damages, so that we can get royal help with fixing the houses and businesses. As Princess, it's my job to do that for Ponyville. C'mon girls, let's go help out with the cleanup. Have a nice day Cameron." They all rush out of the house. All of them but Pinkie. She just sits on the couch, hair still down straight.
"Hey Pinkie, i'm sorry for saying the cliche bullshit. You okay? You don't have to go help the Cakes with the bakery or anything? They might need you to he-" I was cut off by her tackling me. The wind was knocked out of me with an oomph. She sobbed into my chest. I just took a moment to catch my breath, and pat her on the head. I didn't know what to say. I never really had to comfort someone like this. I start to open my mouth to try and say something funny, make her laugh and cheer her up, when she does the most ungrateful, most selfish thing ever. She kisses me. Full on, tongue and everything.
I immediately accept. I will admit, ever since that day on the train when I had first arrived, I had had a light crush on the mare, If only for her body originally. But as we had spent a little time together, I had come to like her personality, and then she had decided to sneak into my bed on that sleepover night. After that, with the job and working with her, I started to see how she cared for everyone in town. I saw her plan parties everyday for EVERY PONY in town. She would make them to their specifications, whatever they may be. She went out of her way to help the town, and her home had burned down. She was sad, and probably scared too, though she was scared what might have happened to me.
I felt bad for having told her off to go help the citizens. She had been so pissed after. And yet here she was, kissing me for all she was worth. She stopped for a moment, to take a breath. Then she realized, and she paused. I could see in the middle of the air in front of her face, was a box, saying 'Error! Pinkie.exe has stopped working! Attempting to come up with reason behind kiss! Please wait patiently while loading!' So I wait.
Finally, the box disappears. She lays on me, staring. We don't speak. She starts talking.
"Cameron, I have liked you for a little bit now. Ever since you complimented me on the train, and especially since we started working together. I like how you try to be funny, and fail, and don't try and are funny. And then you go and be an ass, leaving me behind. You owe me some compensation for your actions missy. So I am going to make you pay up."
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that to you, making you worry even more than you already were. I have had a crush on you to. At first, it was a physical attraction crush, but then your personality was so much like mine, broken and cracked enough to be a fun kind of crazy, that I developed a crush for YOU. I am sorry, so go ahead and take your payment. I need to pay somehow for being an ass to you."
"Well, your going to bring your ass to the bed for me, and then we can see about the rest of your payment. It isn't going to be much, but it will be a lot."
I had to pay in the best way possible.
I became her girlfriend.
Author's Note
And you thought that we would have sex. Get your mind out of the gutters, I had been planning this from chapter one. Also, yes I have Satan as one of the twelve rulers of Tarturus. There is a reason, as you will find out later. Also, I am going to tell you this here, after me and Pinkie become a couple, we went to town, and Twilight told us that the Princesses wanted to see us tomorrow. So the next episode is going to start on the train to Canterlot. Sorry for the spoilers, but I felt it would be easier to explain it here than the story up their. Also, that way you get a better ending to this chapter, instead of having to read more after. And I get to make fun of you down here for getting in the gutters.
Have a jivin day!
