Two Antagonists Invoked for Legends(under rewrite)by DracochangewingChaptersWe Can't go HomeFacing a New Enemy and a ReunionCh.3Surprises and Preparations for WarChapter 5We Can't go Homewe cant go home {This Point of View is now under the ownership of: Kylie} Johnathan and I were on our way to RTX to do some cosplaying, buy some merch and maybe win some prizes at the costume contest except John couldn't decide what to cosplay as. "So is that game any good?" I asked John, he was playing his new favorite game on his phone, stick war legacy, he got all the skins through hard work and time. "It's good it helps me pass the time." He told me as he looked up from his phone. "Hey let's split up, look around and meet up in an hour at the costume contest." I offered "Sure just don't get lost." He told me as he walked in a random direction. I walked down the path I choose and looked at each Stall carefully and then I saw the creepy mask salesman from Majora's Mask selling stuff for my costume and other things. “Oh! Why hello there fine future patron, could I perhaps interest you in my wares?” I swallowed my heebie-jeebies and walked up to him. "Why yes, I would." I looked at his wares and saw everything that I needed to complete my costume along with the best armor and helmet in the game. “Could I have The Reaper, The Apocalyptor, The Evil Eye, The female Infernal Armor, the Brown Hive that ghost and do you have any replica spell totems?" I asked hopefully. “Why yes I do! I have all the fire, shield and Corruption spell totems from the first, and of course all the second game spells too, wouldn’t help an aspiring Lycan Overlord to be underprepared now, would it and have a few Dark crystals on the house?” he said, his creepy smile never fading. "YES!!!! Ok so how far back is all of this gonna set me?" I asked pulling my wallet out of my armor. “I’m feeling in a pleasant mood, so I’ll settle for $550, and I’ll throw in this nifty Gnarl Figurine for free, what do you say?” "You have yourself a deal but I have one question why do you only have the Brown Hive?" I asked as I handed him the cash and put on The Evil Eye. “Oh that’s quite easy, dear Overlord.” his grin gained a sinister tinge to it. “I left the other hives scattered about where you’re going.” He said and then I felt weightless as I fell through the floor. {This Point Of View was brought to you by: John} I was walking down a path that was filled with stall but I wasn't looking to buy anything, so I just played my game. "II wonder if she found what she was looking for." I said to myself as I finished a battle on my game. "Hello young man care to take a look at what I have to offer." I heard and turned to see a shady Resident evil 4 merchant. "Sure." I said and looked at him wares. "Do you have anything else these don't interest me much." I said and he reached in a bag and pulled out a crown and cape and I set my phone on the stalle. "What you playing there?" He asked. "Stick war legacy, it's a fun game I found." I said and he scratched his chin and smiled. "Well why don't you try them on?" He said and I shrugged and put them on, they fit nicely. "Nice, it looks good, maybe I should cosplay as a king." I said and twirled. "Even better, an emperor!" He said and suddenly I fell into a dark place and then everything brightened as I hit the ground. "What happened." I said and rubbed my head, then I noticed my arm was completely black, and so was the rest of my body, I saw a small lake and I looked into it. I was a stick man with a crown and a cape and a letter attached to the top of my crown. I pulled it off and began to read. if you are reading this you are still alive and in a different world as a stick man right now. You are level one but i already made an army for you of the stick men from your game, they will arrive shortly, This world is vastly different then your own, where magic is real and you have access to a shop to get skills and structures, when one of your units defeats a foe you get 1 tenth of what they get and they have added effects but so sorry but I can't go into any more detail, good luck! I ripped up the paper and tossed it and I could hear several loud sounds behind me and I turned around to see my army and their were of all the skins except the classic and they all knelt. 'Ok then so how do I open this shop.' I Thought, and then suddenly a screen opened in front of my eyes. It was split into two columns, skills cost upgrade points that I get from leveling up and winning fights or battles, and the other column was structures and what looked like weapons and books. Seems the merchant left that out, the structures are bought with gold, but at the top there was a city that said ‘1 time offer free’ which I bought right away. "So how do I make them." I said and six rows appeared at the bottom of my view, the rows showed all of my available units in their different skins and their respective mana costs leaf was cheaper than the others and at the top left I could see my mana I had 200 mana right now and so I only has enough mana to make one miner or swordwrath before I had to wait for it to recharge the cost was just as much as the game. After making a leaf miner I felt tired and I selected the city and said. "Well it's time I see my new home." {This Point of View is now under the ownership of: Kylie} I began to awake slowly in darkness, as the sounds of stones being moved assailed my ears. “He’s over here! Hurry it up!” a muffled voice came as I realized in my hazy vision the rocks being relocated were on top of me and I was being dug out. “Wakey wakey, new master.” the now clearer voice of Gnarl called sinisterly. "Oh, me bleeding 'ead. What did I drink last night to give me such a stingin’ headache?" “Hmm… Giblet, go and rub some acid in his eyes, that’ll freshen him up.” Those words set off my self-preservation instincts as I heard his plan clear as day. "Oi none of that now I'm awake I'm awake!" I yelled as I shot up out of the hole in the ground. “Ah, welcome back to the land of the living Mast-oh, forgive me, Mistress, your armor might require some refitting… it wasn’t built for your… figure.” "Guardian Kylie, Guardian Kylie, oh Kylie I found you, finally!" “Ragh! Weird metal thing! Go smash!” one of the browns yelled angrily, chasing the Ghost around with its club. Remembering that I have the power to stop minions from doing things I tried to stop the Brown from attacking what I assume is the Ghost I bought. "STOP!" Thankfully their loyalty to their new Overlady is already set, and the brown begrudgingly stops it assault. “Mistress, while I do find your commanding presence to be a good sign for your candidacy, I don’t find it too appealing to find you showing mercy to this… metal fairy.” Gnarl commented. "You stupid walnut that's my companion Ghost Artemis. She is not to be touched by any of you is that understood." I commanded. “Understood, but with all due respect, Mistress, I have heard of beings that have taken non-humanoid fairy-like creatures as companions… they tend to be very annoying.” "What do you mean they tend to be annoying?" I asked. “Many beings, typically heroes, had a fairy companion to act as a guide and navigator, although in the tales of such, the fairy in question is more of an annoyance, trying to constantly get their master’s attention and pointing out information that in truth is of no use to them, unless this… thing, has some special purpose I am not aware of, I don’t see why you would keep it around… unless you decide to get bored of hitting the jester.” "First of all, it's she, second of all, she can carry things in a subspace pocket dimension, and third of all, I would never get tired of hitting the jester." I said. “True, his face is very punchable, and I guess having a mobile chest is useful, and would allow you to retain items you would normally lose if you fell in battle! Quite cunning Mistress, I knew it was right to trust that Void-walker to find our new Overlord-sorry, Lady, and a new world of good in which to conquer!” Gnarl declared proudly. "Well about that.…" I said {One month later his Point of view is brought to you by John} After placing the city we had a huge problem, turns out I placed the city on a giant hive of giant scorpions, but after clearing them out I gained a lot of levels and a new development occurred. The stickmen I was given are making their own community and are falling in love. The difference between the male and female stick men were that the females had hair and they give birth fast. There has already been 23 births this week alone, not to mention the resulting young are growing fast and were learning quickly, along with the adults discovering to talents as well. The Magikill had more spells and their different skin counterparts began to diverge into entirely different schools. Leaf were able to control plants and make fertile land to grow crops. Lava could shoot fireballs and summon magma from the earth, Ice could shoot ice spikes and chill the very air, savages could create undead of their own but unlike the normal demonic minions they need bodies to raise them, and finally Vamp could drain the life from living things. Along with the Magikill’s new spell roster, the ice and lava units had immunity to their respective elements, and in light of their newly growing community, some of the miners had taken up farming. I had been neglecting the store ever since I arrived, so I thought it was time to see my level see what I could get. Right now I was level 25, so I had 75 upgrade points and my mana reached 20,100 it increased by 100 every level but after ten it doubled. "Ok let's see what skills I can get." I said as I sat on my throne, I was an emperor here and no one disobeyed me, but I was fair and just with my orders and my laws making sure everyone was happy living here. OI looked through the skill category and saw two familiar things it was the melee and ranged giant from the first and second game but the melee also had other skins. They both cost 20 skill points each, so I decided to buy them, the two joining the rows at the bottom of my view soon after I made the purchase. So now I had 35 skill points and so I looked for magic, from what I saw there were several different paths of magic, but to learn spells more easily I would need to buy the book that went with the skills, but I was getting quite wealthy after clearing the nest I discovered veins of gold and other ores everywhere so I had that covered. "Lets see... let’s buy buy fire magic." I said and then another screen popped up and it showed several different colors. Chose a color for your fire It said above them, I chose blue because I thought it would look cool and I bought a book l Skills Fire Magic level 1 'A skill tree, that is useful.' I thought as I looked at the info on it, with every level my fire magic or any other skill would become stronger, and when it maxes the mp cost halfs. It cost 5 points and then I got mana recovery, which allowed me to recover mana faster in and outside of combat while also giving me a resistance to magic exhaustion, and it could level up as well. I was left with 20 points and I searched through the shop and found two attacks slash attack and unique stick creation. slash attack Color of attack may vary, a ranged attack that can only be used with swords or blade type weapons, it sends a slash that multiplies the swords attack by 1.5 and will increase as the skill levels up cost 50 mp to use. Unique stick creation Allows the caster to create a unique stickman or women that will level up like the caster and can acquire new skills, but it starts out 10 levels lower than the caster and can start out with one unique skill and can not level up past casters level. Mana cost 10,000. I bought both of them and now I was out of upgrade points, the second skill could not level up and I started using it, and in response a screen popped up It asked male or female and I shrugged and chose female and it changed and showed me a stick person, she was black like me and everyone else. Looking around the screen I found three extra boxes. Hair available Wings unavailable Eyes unavailable I selected the hair and it showed me several different and unique styles. I chose the one with long hair it draped over her shoulders and down her back her hair it went down her shoulder and went half way down her back and now it told me to choose a color and I chose bright red, now it told me to choose a class from the unit types I currently have and so I chose spearton. Now it told me to type a unique skill. I gave her the ability to switch armor between all the skins so she could use all the effects each gave her, now it told me to choose aspects of her personality to which I chose devotion, loyalty, protective and lastly honourable. And now I was done and half of my mana was used and she appeared in front of my she was currently in the vamp armor and the red hair added to her look. She took a knee and said. "What would you have of me my emperor."she said. "Your name is Kefla and you are now my general, rise and take your place beside me.” I said as she stood up and walked up beside me. Now that I had an empire, I was now ready to expand my territory. I had not encountered any intelligent life yet and I was already expanding, but it was slow, though now I can expand faster. there was now statues of me in the shop and I could use them to place structures or make units so I had them transported to several locations so I could place villages and outposts for defense, and next I put dozens of units in each one. Now hopefully the near future is peaceful, I stood up from my throne and walked outside with my new general so I could train her while leveling up my new skills. Later I opened the shop and found the best sword I could find! For some reason there were only two weapons that were locked and said level requirement level 100 and one black outline around it while the other had a gold outline. I found the best sword I could find and looked at its information Sword of ascension Attack 500 Special effects: doubles exp received, ignores 50% defense of armor After buying a screen that looked like an inventory appeared showing my sword and I reached in and pulled it out and now it was time to train. {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady} Suffice it to say the Shriveled Walnut didn't take the idea of not being conquerors very well. He didn't talk to me except when he had to for a week then he got over it. We started looking for the hives soon after and a week later we had found the first one, the Blues but there was a problem. "Ah, The Blue Hive, now Mistress, you should know that the Blues are healers, not fighters, they can bring back dead minions if they’ve only recently died and traverse water, but the only time you should send them to attack is if the target is purely magical." Gnarl told me. "I'm with you so far. So what's the problem?" I asked. “It appears some powerful creatures have taken an interest in the hive, and they overflow with good energy to the point where it floods! Thankfully the power of good only allows itself to infest willing creatures or the blue minions might’ve turned all goody goody.” "WHAT KIND OF CREATURES WOULD DARE TO TAKE MY HIVE!" I yelled angrily. “They don’t seem to be taking anything, merely observing, Mistress. These creatures are quite the curious sort, yet very cautious and skeptical, it’d be wise not to provoke them at your level, Mistress.” "I have all the spell stones and the most powerful ax I can make. Plus I have an unlimited supply of Browns with the best armor and weapons. Why not just go in and take it?" I asked quizzically. “Because these are not heroes, Mistress, these are beings that tend to make and bless heroes, one goddess was bad enough with its choking light, now we have to deal with two of them, with actual physical bodies to attack with… besides the last time, a Brown attacked something with wings and a horn it ended up exploding violently.” "Wait are you telling me one of My Browns went out and attacked one of them?" “We may have arrived much earlier than you, Mistress, and of course we made scouting parties to better assist, one discovered one much older than these two, who tried to force feed a large amount of good magic into the brown and… boom.” "Did that one have a pure white body and red mane and tail?" “You’ve heard of such a creature before?” "Oh sh iit, Oh shit, this is not good! That Brown attacked an alicorn and not just any alicorn but the alicorn of Knowledge, mother of Celestia and Luna, bringer of pain to evil, Faust!" I exclaimed. “That seems rather risky.” "NO SHIT SHERLOCK!" I yelled. "We are in what should be the Badlands, but since it's not that means either we have a Flutter Valley scenario or a big fight with evil coming in the future." “Excuse me, Mistress, I am confused… Flutter Valley?” "A valley of pure ponies called flutter ponies and a Flutter Valley scenario is a huge catastrophe that transforms the valley and its inhabitants." I explained. The old and grey imp of an advisor stroked his beard and then simply shrugged. “While I enjoy the destruction of a race of innocent butterfly beasts as much as the next evil creature, I find it prudent to scope out and find this great evil, an Overlady can’t allow rivals to fester… unless they’re festering as a corpse.” "I believe we should focus on now, I will try to talk to the sisters and retrieve the hive." “Are you… certain, that is wise? I’d find it hard to believe they will… react positively to you.” "I believe that if I show up unarmed and in a dress we would get the best reaction to our situation." “Well we only have spare dresses designed for… Mistresses of an Overlord, so they would certainly have some reaction.” Gnarl said and he held up a dress that left barely anything to the imagination. "I guess I could wear that even though it's kinda skimpy." I said leaving for my chambers to put the dress on. I get the dress barely on when a Brown came rushing in. "Well, what is it?" “Scary pony on ground! Scary pony on ground!” it then blinked as it took in the immediate sight of me. “Oooooooooohhh…” and then it flopped forward, the little soul icon appearing in my vision. "GNARL CLEAN UP, MY ROOM!" I yelled mischievously. Disgruntled, the old creature stumbled into the room, spotting the minion. “Oh great, what went and killed this one Mis…” then he spotted me, going silent. *plap* "Ahh hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! oh man that's priceless. I should probably cover up more though so I don't kill all my minions." I said resolutely. Putting on a shawl I called for a minion. When it arrived it looked at me and didn't keel over so that is a good sign. It then noticed Gnarl’s ever-burning lantern. “Ooh! The super-shiny is mine!” it declared as it put on the lantern and cloak, before suddenly shaking violently, then looking at me with a scowl. “I didn’t particularly appreciate the heart-attack Mistress, I may be a soul in a lantern, but having my current body die is still painful.” "I apologize Gnarl I had no idea it would kill the strongest Brown I have. I just thought it would cause you to be speechless." “Correction, I was the oldest Brown, though I’d appreciate it if you didn’t lump me in with the others, I didn’t give up my human body for immortality, just to be known as just another minion.” "Gnarl, I don't see you as just another minion you are special and you are an irreplaceable advisor even though you change bodies you still are the same Gnarl." I placated. “Thank you, Mistress… you may want to see Snips, while we haven’t acquired the Green Hive, we thankfully managed to recover him, he should be able to make your attire less… killer, after all, he is our greatest blind tailor.” "I think I will, I find his work to be of the highest quality and I can't kill him with my body so that's a plus." I said heading down to Snips' workshop. "Hey Snips, I have a task for you!" “Yes Mistress! What is problem!?” "I need you to make this dress less minion-killer and more royalty-meeting quality. Do you think you can do that?" I asked hopefully. “...Snips thought that was same thing.” Suffice it to say a whole planet of pans died screaming. “Okay! Okay! Can feel judging glare of mistress from here, come closer and will start work on new dress.” "Thank you Snips, " I said as I took the dress off and proceeded to walk in just a shawl over to him. "here is the dress I want altered!" I said, handing it to the Green. “No no no! Dress not enough! This new body, need to measure for dressing, like mistresses before!” Now I'm a bit self-conscious about my body but I knew it needed to be done so I walked closer so he could do just that. “Now, remember, me blind! So no slapping!” "I promise, as long as the touches are brief and not probing anything they shouldn't." I warned. “Snips is professional!!” he said, suddenly grasping my tits as he began his hand-based measurements. It took considerably less time than I expected for him to be finished 'measuring' me and he soon was working at an extremely fast pace for a blind person. “Aha! Found problem! Not just bad dress size, proportions all wrong, Mistress kept showing too much nipple by accident!” "So what your saying is I was showing nipple and that was why I killed two minions." “Of course! You present attire which expose you! Extremely enticing, made stupid minion brain think you want mate, put all blood in wrong place!” "Can we focus on the dress now please?" I pleaded. “Already done!” he handed me a new dress, one with a rather elegant design. “Combat dress, made with new silk from weird rat-sized spiders, blocks swords, spears and some magic while staying… tasteful.” After putting it on and feeling how soft it felt I just had to give Snips a hug "I love it, I love it, I love it, it's perfect for meeting with the Princesses of Equestria, thank you Snips." I said while squeeing in his ear. “GAH! SNIPS ALREADY BLIND! DON’T MAKE SNIPS DEAF TOO!” "Sorry, Snips I got overexcited." I apologized. “Just go out, show off Snips’ work and make other ladies feel inadequate, that good enough payment for Snips.” "Deal." I said as I was walking out of the room back towards where I left Gnarl. “Ah, Mistress, a far more graceful design, thankfully the minions have just finished building a portal at the Blue Hive’s location, you may use the Tower Pool to teleport there now, coincidentally, the portal’s location also coincides with where that brown discovered the dangerous minion-exploding psychopath dying in the middle of the road.” "WHAT! FAUST IS INJURED HOW FAR FROM THE PORTAL?" I yelled running towards the throne room by way of the Armory to grab The Reaper. As I got to the pool, I saw the image of the land the portal opens up at… and I saw Faust on the side of the road… weak… wounded. I jumped through the pool and arrived seconds later after passing through a colorful void. I ran up to Faust and knelt down next to her. "Lady Faust can you stand?" I asked. She opened her eyes at my voice and was startled by what she saw. "My Gods, the Kindness in your stance speaks that you care for every creature you see, the Loyalty in your heart beats a steady rhythm of a drum pushing on your comrades, the Determination in your eyes is like a fire burning brightly on a cold winter's night. I have not seen such in many many years, not since Solaris ascended to the heavens." She said. I blushed in embarrassment and said. "Thank you." I said then remembered her condition and tried to help her up. It was pointless though because as soon as she was on her hooves she collapsed again. "I am not long for this world and I have but one request." She said "What is it if it's within my power I will do it?" I asked. "I don't have much time to explain, but my daughters need protection, but for you to have that ability I must give you the greatest gift and curse I can give, immortality." She begged and I slowly nodded. To say she was surprised would be an understatement. "Why did you accept so readily my request?" Faust asked. "Because I can see the love you carry for this world and the people you want to protect." I said while smiling causing her to smile also. "To do this is to shun the afterlife, to do this is to ascend to goddesshood, and to do this is to watch those around you die. Can you withstand the test of time and sorrow or will you crumble like so many before you?" "I will stand my ground." I said. "Then come here and receive the mark of my family and the beginning of eternity. As I stood there with the tip of her horn over my heart I started to notice a burning sensation on the front of my shoulder. I kept still until the sensation got too much for me and I had to cry out in pain. I put my hand on my shoulder and looked and I saw a strange mark on my shoulder I looked at Faust and asked. "What is this mark?" "That marks you as part of the royal family and as a goddess. If my daughters were to see that mark they would know you are friend and kin." She replied in a motherly tone that then turned deathly serious. "You may now be immortal but that doesn't mean you can't die. They exists a metal called Orichalcum or the 'god slayer' metal that will temporarily strip you of your immortality magics and leave you able to be killed." "Thank you for telling me and can I ask will the princesses think of me was an enemy because they have something of mine that I need to get back?" I asked. "And pray tell what could your sisters have that you would think them wanting to fight you over it?" She asked. "Because it has something to do with dark magics." I told her. "Ha, ha, ha, you think dark magics are evil. No no they may corrupt the weak minded but I can tell you are strong of…*COUGH* heart and mind." "Ok." I said and I held her hand. "My last advice is a prophecy I had not a month ago and a warning: A sorceress Marked A stickman found Two evils not And love abounds Fears are misplaced Two turned to stone To see a new face and a grand new land to roam But subjects without Lady or Lord, They will thankfully sleep. Until the day a new force, Sows chaos, they must reap. You now see the path before you, A message for future times. And know this vision is true, For this vision speaks in rhymes. "The warning is watch out for sun cultists." Is the last thing she said before she starts to glow and lift off the ground. All of a sudden she turns into a ball of light and shoots into the sky leaving behind a pile of life force of different colors and I absorbed all of them. “Quite curious to find a god willing to give such power to something so dark.” Gnarl said in my head. "Shut up walnut brain! This was a huge honor so don't kill my buzz." I said telepathically. "So thoughts?" “Well it certainly is confusing, but like with many things, the pieces will make themselves obvious with time.” "Ok. Oh and Gnarl send some Browns to get all this life force." I said back to him in my head. After my convo with Gnarl I headed towards the last known location of the Hive near a small town north of the portal. As I came upon the site I heard two voices talking that I recognized as Celestia and Luna. "What do you think we should do with it sister?" Celestia asked Luna gesturing to the hive. "It doth radiate evil energies I say we destroy it." Luna replied as I came into the clearing, Celestia stood at 7 foot, her fur was snow white as well as her dress that had a slit that went up to her thigh, on her hips she wore a belt that was decorated by several gold accessories, and a gold crown on her head that drew attention to her rainbow hair that flowed in the wind, I also noticed she had a golden necklace that went over her fairly large breasts. Luna on the other hand was six foot five her fur was a lovely blue, and her hair was like a starry sky, and she wore a sexy two-piece dress that didn't leave much to the imagination. "I would appreciate it if you didn't do that. I need that hive." I said nervously rubbing the back of my neck. "Who are you?" Celestia asked taking a defensive stance. I raised my hands in a 'I'm not a threat way' and said, "I come in peace, and I am friend and kin." I showed them my mark causing a sense of calm and somberness to fall over the clearing. "Was she in pain?" Luna asked. "Not that I knew of sister but I was too late to catch her attacker(s)" I said. "What do you want with this thing?" Celestia asked. "It brings life to creatures called minions, it is one of four hives. This is the Blue Hive, it begets Blue minions, they are healers." I said. Celestia sighed and said. "If you want it, take it we have more important matters to deal with." Celestia said as she looked at the ground and tears formed in her eyes. I walked up to her and gave her a hug and patted her back while sending a mental command to some Browns that were nearby. "I have some Brown minions coming to get it. Would you like some tea and cake?" "No now is not the time for that." She said. Remembering her warning I decided to share it with my sisters. "Before she ascended to the heavens she told me a prophecy and gave me a warning. The warning was 'watch out for sun cultists'." "Yes, they have been a problem and have made several attempts to kill Luna." Celestia said and that made my blood boil. "I make you this promise, as long as I can, I will protect you both with mine and my minions lives." I pledged. She smiled and said." Thank you but we must go now." Celestia said as she and Luna walked away and got into a chariot and me and the minions when back to the tower with the Blue Hive and the life force. Facing a New Enemy and a ReunionFacing a new enemy and a reunion {2 days later, This point of view is brought to you by: john} I made a discovery, I don't need to buy skills from the store, I can learn them by doing the actions. I figured it out when I was practicing with my sword and I got the swordsmanship skill and I managed to get Ice/water magic from the ice Magikills after I got them to teach me and I was now trying to learn earth magic from the leaf. "So how do I start?" I asked and the rock floated above one of their hands. "Earth is simple to understand but can be difficult to do." He said and then continued. "To use earth magic your will must be strong and then you can use your will to control the earth beneath you each of us has our way of doing it but you must find yours on your own." He said and I nodded. "Thank you for explaining I will try it later tonight but now there's much to do my leaf scouts have felt a disturbance," I said and he walked away the leaf units were in touch with nature and could feel when something was wrong and yesterday they felt a great change in the world. After returning to the throne room I found Kefla waiting by my throne. "My liege we have received reports you might want to look over." She said handing me a scroll and I unrolled it the leaf units at the edge of my expanding territory were sensing danger and the statues were now in place. "Send word I want Magikills to create minions to patrol the edge of the border 60 in each patrol that should be about 12 Magikills and they are to be heavily guarded," I said and she wrote it down. During my time training, I also leveled up and created Giants though the melee giants did not carry around those dead bodies when they were created so they only wielded clubs, and I bought healers and I will save up my other skill points for another time. I opened my skill tree Fire magic level 2 Slash attack level 3 Unique stickman creation Ice/water magic level 2 Swordsmanship level 2 Mp recovery level 5 'I have been getting the level up faster than I thought.' I said in my head and a leaf spearton rushed in and collapsed on the floor and I rushed to him. "What happened?" I asked and he handed me a scroll. "Something is coming and it is headed here." He said tapping the scroll and he passed out from exhaustion. "Take him to a comfy room I need to gather the army we might be at war," I told Kefla and she lifted him and carried him away. I opened the scroll and I found a map on the edge there was a massive flower drawn on it with arrows pointing at it and I ran out of the castle and yelled. "All troops take up arms we are moving out be ready for battle!" I yelled and I could hear sounds coming from the city and Kefla caught up to me and we ran out of the city and all of the soldiers were already gathered. "We have received a scroll that a possible threat is heading to a location near our border we are going to march there and see what is happening it is only a days march and we will gather our forces along the way," I said and they stood at attention. "You can take it from here Kefla," I said and she yelled. "Forward March." She yelled and they started moving towards what could be war, I started creating Magikills and giants, I had already made a few battle plans in case a war broke out and I had a little surprise, but they would arrive after the battle started. {After sunset} We set up camp for the night and we gathered more troops along the way, but there weren't many towns or forts along the path and we took only what they could spare, now it was time to learn Earth magic before I tried to fall asleep. I sat on the ground, crossed my legs and put my hand on the ground. 'So I must have a strong will to move the earth beneath me.' I thought and closed my eyes. I took slow deep breaths and relaxed and then I could feel something. I reached out for it and everything became clear I could feel the ground around me the trees of the forest and everything that lived in them. I took my hand off the ground and I heard a beep and I looked at the skill tree, earth magic was added but it was level 1, so in response, I bought a book on earth magic. It was pretty simple, like the other books, but it might be because I haven't leveled them up enough to get to the complex spells. The first earth spell was earth spike which makes a spike burst from the ground and strikes the intended target. I closed the book and said. "Well I should go to sleep now there is no telling what could happen tomorrow," I said and laid down and when it was the morning we marched towards our destination. {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady} (Two days earlier) "I'M SO BORED!" I said sitting on my throne then Gnarl walked up to my side. "Mistress why don't you test out your domination powers on these ugh flutter ponies." He said with disgust, and almost throwing up before he said Flutter ponies. “What I'm worried about is that time of the month starts in two nights and I don't want to be around innocents when it happens,” I told him. "Mistress your the overlord of all evil, why wouldn't you want to transform into a monster and slaughter all the innocent creatures in the world?" Gnarl asked me. “Because shit for brains I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYONE,” I yelled angrily growing fur and claws. "Ok then," Gnarl said as he started walking away backward. “OK, OK, I’LL SHOW YOU OK!” I said getting more and more bestial as the seconds passed. "Mistress I think you should calm down you might start killing your minions, and if memory serves we don't have an infinite amount of them because we have the life force of that one pony." Gnarl reasoned causing me to start to calm down. “I’m calm enough to know I only need to throttle you to calm down,” I said taking a step towards him. "Why not take your anger out on the jester, like you said before you never get tired of hitting him," Gnarl suggested. “BECAUSE THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!” I screamed as I started chasing him through the castle. After an hour a minion ran up to me just as I was about to catch him. "Mistress mistress, monsters attacking pretty ponies." He said urgently. "Gather 360 browns, my 40 Lycan browns, 400 blues, my Elites, my ax and armor, then meet me at the front gate." (Present) It had been 2 days since I learned of the monsters attack, it's evening now and we had been marching towards flutter valley it was a forest that consisted of giant plants that we're made into homes, and at the center a giant flower that reached high in the sky, but that was when I noticed the smoke and saw the flower was very slowly wilting. "Scout Scamp what and where did you see these monsters exactly?" I asked. "Down there mistress big 4 armed monster leading smaller black monsters at bottom of big flower." Scamp said pointing towards the flower. "Alrighty then, let's get this show on the road. Blues hang back until your needed, Elites and Browns follow me." I said in a commanding voice as I started for the flower. Once we got there, I saw what could only be a demon that was eight feet tall leading 6-foot tall soldiers wielding scimitars. "Gather up those ponies they will serve as gifts to the demon lord." He shouted at them. Upon hearing this I looked up and saw that the cloud cover was just beginning to break and the light of the first night of the full moon was starting to shine through causing me and my elites to change. To say that the pain was excruciating wouldn't even be the half of it. The pain reminded me of last month when I first changed. (One month to the night ago) I was suddenly woken up from my sleep by a throbbing pain in my chest that slowly grew, then I saw a note in my lap. Hey Kylie I know it's been tough the past couple of days but...it's gonna get worse because you're going through your first change and you have no control over it. The reason being tonight is a full moon and I know you're thinking 'that's not a problem for my OC.' Well you see I had to give you that weakness to keep my bosses happy. So...sorry but I was able to make it so you don't destroy whatever you're wearing your clothes and armor will shift with you both ways. (Present) "Ah the good old merchant always tossing ya a curveball but making it up to ya somehow," I growled as the skeletomuscular changes finished and the organ shifting began. Imagine someone taking your organs and putting them in a meat grinder that's kind of what it felt like to have all my organs find a new home inside me. Next, my teeth fell out making way for Lycan teeth and my fingers became clawed and my toes gained a more lupine look. Looking myself over I saw how badass my armor looked with the shoulder spikes and the extended metal claws. (A.N this but with an enclosed chest plate.) Embedding The Reaper in a nearby tree I filled my lungs with as much air as I could and let loose a mighty roar alongside my Lycan Browns. "OWWOOOO." {This Point Of View is brought to you by: John} I woke up to a sudden roar in the distance then Kefla ran up to me. "That roaring is coming from our destination shall we get moving?" She asked me as I got up, and dusted myself off. "Yes, we should move with haste to get there in time," I told her before we went to gather the troops. {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady (Kylie)} "Kill the Demons but spare the people!" I ordered my Elites and Lycan. "OWWOOO FOR THE OVERLADY!" My Elites and Lycan Browns screamed as they charged into battle, then I lunged at the demon but to her then he lifted his shield, but my claws passed through with ease, but I missed his arm. "What do we have here a few little puppies run away from home." He said mockingly, as he pushed his shield forward to slide me off. "GRRRRRRRR! I will slice you to ribbons for that remark." I growled as I dug my claws back into his shield and pulling down until I felt flesh part beneath them. The shield fell off, and he screamed as he looked at his stub of an arm. "Can I give you a hand with that!" I said mockingly but then his screaming soon turned into laughter as he reached down to pick up his cut off arm, then put it on his stub, a kind of steam come off it then he took his hand on to show it was reattached. "I don't need one I have 4." He said as he now held up his sword with two hands. "Whatever you've got a reattachment factor big deal but I bet you don't have a regeneration factor," I said smugly as I ran over and sliced him across the left side of his head cutting off the horns there along with puncturing the three eyes on that side most likely leaving a large scar on his face. "You bitch!" He shouted then swung his sword, and it dug deep into my side causing me to howl out and a squad of my Elites to run to my side. "PROTECT THE OVERLADY!" The commander said. But then everyone stopped as horns could be heard in the distance, and as the sun started to rise as figures marched over the hills, but I was the only one that saw a small unit break away from the main force. "Great more nuisances." He said, as he pulled his sword from my side and turned to confront this new army. As he walks away the commander of the squad that came to my side gives the order to move me back to the blues. Now that the new army was a little bit closer now I could see what they were, they were… stick people. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE STICKMEN DOING HERE?" I screamed. "Mistress you know what black thin things are?" Asked one of the minions. "Yes, something from another dimension," I said quietly as I saw arrow and spells fly from the stickman army towards the demons as they charged them. Many of them were killed as they struck their targets, but still many remained, then from between the marching speartons the magikill minions that came up to their waists charged towards the demons. The minions were shortly followed by giants that wielded and wore different sets of helmets and clubs. 'Wow, I've got to get some of those guys for myself. They would help.' I thought, as I looked at the giants. It was after I finished that thought when the minions and giants clashed with the demons, the minions were smaller, and faster making them hard to hit as they slit the throats of the demons or stabbed them, and the Giants just used their strength to stomp or smash them the only one that showed the ability to kill them was the general, as he ran up one of their clubs then cut off one of their heads. I sent out a mental command to all of my brown minion's Elites and otherwise. 'All units attack the demons but leave the other ones alone.' They did as they were told, and the general could see this was a one-sided fight. "ALL SOLDIERS RETREAT!" He yelled as loud as he could to make them obey his orders, as they all ran in different directions, leaving only my minions, and the stickmen as they formed a line in front of my minions with their weapons drawn just as their main force arrived. 'ALL ELITES REVERT. REVERT NOW!' I screamed over the link causing the Elites to flinch from the volume yet they followed the order to revert to their base form just as I did also. I ran up in front of my minions and faced the stickmen before saying. "Stop we're not your enemies." Then a spearton with red hair that wrapped over her shoulders, and down her back, and said. "Then who are you then?" She said with a feminine voice. "We are a friend to all that is good and foe to all evil," I said to some scattered murmuring. She didn't have any visible eyes, but I could tell she was looking me over to see if I was lying or not. "I'll take you to our emperor." She told me before her soldiers made a path. Following the spearton who I assume is a general or at least a commander of some kind I asked. "So you have an emperor huh what's he like?" "During my short time serving as his general, he has shown himself to be kind, and dedicated to his people." She told me confirming my guess about her position. Then we got past the soldiers to see a stickman wearing a crown and cape kneeling next to the dead giant, as he put a hand on its head. "Your highness I have brought someone to meet you." The general said getting his attention, and he stood up. At that precise moment, Artemis chose to materialize, fly over to me and start to scan me. "Guardian I was so worried about you." "So what's your name handsome?" I asked. He had a red blush on his face as he said. "You may call me John." He said then cleared his throat. "You wouldn't happen to have been a pale, brown-haired, 20 year old who was obsessed with Stick War Legacy would you?" I asked "How do you know who I was?" He asked. I removed my helmet to show my face while more beautiful it mostly looks the same. "Kylie." He said shocked. "Yeah, it's me," I said and he rushed over to hug me. "I can't believe your here or the fact you called me handsome you never really looked at me that way back on earth." He said and I could feel the tears on my armor. "Your an idiot and blind," I said, causing him to look up at me. "What do you mean by that I'm very smart and have 20/20 vision." He said confused "I've been dropping hints for the past six months that I like you!" I said exasperated "Well, I never thought you would like me with our age difference and everything." He told me. "Age is just the amount of years you have been on the Earth, love can transcend time and age." He blushed and looked away for a second before looking back at me saying. "Well, i guess it official then lets me show you around my place." He said and walked off but before I could follow a spear was held in front of me. "What are you doing?" I asked holding a corruption spell I'm my hand. "I don't know how you know him but if you hurt him I will kill you." She warned before lowering her spear not afraid of my spell. I leaned down and said to her. "I'm immortal girly and I would never hurt him. The one you should worry about hurting the other is him hurting me." I said "Why do you say that even during my short life he has proven to be kind and respectable?" She asked. "He has a habit of being too engrossed in his projects to notice social cues and he can be rather oblivious to love," I replied She looked at John who was ordering a few of his soldiers before looking back at me. "This war will not be easy for him to handle even with his growing power." "You may be right. He may be a master strategist and brilliant tactician but he is not a fighter. What do you mean by growing power?" "With every battle, his power grows and his skills have been growing more powerful as well perhaps you could ask him about it." She told me. "I might do just that," I said as I walked over to John my once a friend and now my boyfriend. {2 days later location John's city} After taking care of the demons it was decided that the ponies weren't safe in that village so we brought them with us after explaining everything to them, and now we were inside John's castle, and we just entered his room so we could talk. {This POV is brought to you by John} Kylie asked me about my powers but I thought it would be best to tell her at the Capital and I took her to my room so we would have some privacy. "Take a seat this might take a bit to explain," I said. "Ok. Let's get started." She said as she started to remove her armor when she was done she was only wearing a bra and panties. I turned away and faced a wall blushing to the point my head was looking like an apple. "What's wrong don't you like me?" "I do but I thought you would be wearing something under your armor I wasn't mentally prepared for this," I said with a gulp. "Well sorry if I rushed out of my tower to save some Flutter Ponies. I didn't exactly know I would be removing my armor before I returned to the tower." She said now blushing herself. "Well can you cover yourself with a blanket or at least get under one on the bed?" I asked. "Ooh, so you want me in your bed huh!" She teased. "No, I uh." Was all I could say. "I think that's enough teasing now." She said as she snapped her fingers and a dress appeared from thin air and she put it on. I turned around to see her sexy black dress and I coughed. "Wow, she is perfect," I said not realizing i was speaking aloud. "Why thank you I appreciate the compliment from my boyfriend." She said with a big smile and my blush returned. "Well um." I said as we both sat on the bed."Your welcome I guess." "Maybe later you might like to remove this and get at these?" She said cupping her breasts. I struggled not to just give in to my desires as i watched her. "Hahahahahahahahaha. Oh, the look on your face when I did that. PRICELESS." She said as she snapped her fingers again and another dress appeared on her body. "Hey, i thought you were trying to tempt me I was actually about to give in," I said. "Oh, I was serious. I just couldn't not laugh at the face you were making." An idea popped into my head that could prove to get her to blush. "Ok then for laughing at me would you let me get behind you and grope you," I said. "Sure go right ahead." She said turning around. I blushed slightly and got behind her let my hands glide from her back to her breasts giving them a soft squeeze causing her to moan. "Oh, baby your touch is so gentle and yet strong." "You know i was never the aggressive type," I said and started moving her breasts around as I gave them gently squeezes and sometimes rubbing my thumb over her nipples. "That's-Nnnh true-” she paused, panting heavily, “You never were much of a- ff-IGHT-Eeer~." She barely got out as she climaxed. I let go of her breasts as I sat down then she turned around to face me blushing. "Well that was fun," I said to her and my blush was still visible. "Shall we get down to business now?" She asked and I nodded. "When I first got here I was given an army by the guy that sent me here and I was at level 1." "Ok, so kind of like Death March To a Parallel World Rhapsody?" "Yes I think and I was given access to a shop and I was given this city for free but unfortunately I placed it on a giant Scorpion nest that nearly overran the city but we managed to kill them, and turned them into undead that we were going to use in the battle but never got the chance also i can purchase skills and abilities from the shop as well," I explained. "Ok, Giant Undead Scorpions are AWESOME!" She said. "Maybe but we lost a few good people now that I think of it, I should have gotten a few levels from that battle, let's see if I can buy any skills," I said opening the shop. I was level 35 with 60 skill points wait 60 i thought as I did the quick math in my head the skill points I received doubled. "Any thoughts on what I should get honey but remember i can also get skills through training so try to pick something i can't get through normal means," I said and gave her a quick kiss. She looked at the screen and saw so many abilities that would be useful but could be trained then she saw five abilities that he couldn't just train up the abilities were air magic, lightning magic, body of iron, strategist and lastly stamina of the dragon. I looked at the three passive skills Body of iron Greatly improves endurance and unarmed physical attacks Strategist Greatly improves the ability to quickly think of attack or defense plans. Stamina of the dragon Greatly improves stamina and stamina recovery "So have plans for Stamina of the dragon," I said jokingly in her ear. "Maybe! Maybe not!" She said slyly as I brought them but I still had 20 points left after. "Still have some left," I said as I leaned against Kylie i was a little shy at first but I am a lot more comfortable now then I heard a beep and it seemed Kylie heard it as well. "Hey look at that message at the top." She said pointing at the top of the screen. I looked at it and begin reading. Character customization has now been unlocked you can now customize yourself and notice that several items improve certain skills or abilities. It said than an icon appeared in my view the one I could only see so I selected it, and it showed me. headwear unavailable Eyes available Facial hair available I selected the eyes first but there was only one unlocked a weird-looking set of eyes it was four different colors and it seemed each color was separated. The top left was red top right was brown bottom left was blue and the bottom right was white then the middle was black as a normal eye. I read its power it seemed to make my control of the natural elements more effective then I backed out and selected facial hair. There were tons of different styles unlocked so I asked. "Hey, what kind of facial hairstyle do you like?" I asked. "I kind of liked when you grew that fu man chu mustache last summer." She said with a slight blush then I nodded as I found and selected it and I made the 'stache white. Would you like to save changes Y/N I selected yes and suddenly my vision went dark. I put my hand to my face and I could feel eyes ever since I have been here I haven't had the urge to blink so I guess I just didn't have eyes before. I slowly opened my new eyes and Kylie was looking into them. "Those eyes are beautiful baby and i love the 'stache," She said "Thank you," I said and I twirled my mustache with my finger then made a flame in my free hand it was very easy to control now it was a little difficult before. "So how do you think we should fight these demons?" I asked. "Well, first I need my other two hives then we can make a plan of attack." She said. "I will send my best to scout and maybe we can find their base as well," I said then remembered. "We should go calm down the flutter ponies, I am sure they are scared out of their minds being out of their village like this," I said with a little worry in my voice. "I agree, and now that I'm not in my armor I'm not as scary." She said. I nodded so we left my room and as we walked many of my soldiers complimented my new look as we left the castle. "They should be gathered in the square," I told her as we approached it. The Flutter ponies were being very loud to where we could barely hear ourselves think. "Quiet down," I said but they didn't seem to hear me. "QUIET DOWN!" I yelled then they stopped talking. "I know many of you are scared but you are safe here we will give you homes and food to eat so please calm down," I told them. "Anyone who doesn't want to stay here is more than welcome to come to my tower," Kylie said. "What about the things that attacked our village." A flutter pony shouted. "We are now at war with them and your village is no longer safe to stay in, so that is why we brought you here so you won't be caught in the crossfire, we won't force you to be in this war," I told them and they were calming down a bit. "And like I said before we will give you shelter and food here. Also, you will be given full citizenship so you will be treated as equals here." I added and they were all taken to their new homes while I and Kylie went back to the castle to continue talking and catching up on what all has happened to both of us. Ch.3Chapter 3 {Demon General POV} "You worthless heaps of garbage," I shouted as I kicked away on of my soldiers, into a wall, killing it. "You are calling my gifts garbage." A voice said booming inside the room I was in forcing me to the floor, then suddenly a figure appeared it was the demon lord, he always used this to talk to me. Demons of Tartarus are normally not able to leave Tartarus, but if they are a certain degree and below the weaker demons can. "I'm sorry my lord I meant no disrespect," I said pleadingly as the force keeping me on the floor faded. "Why haven't the gates opened, i gave you the sufficient troops required, to capture that flower?" He asked. "We encountered two separate forces, we were pincered if we had stayed then, we would have died," I explained, making him rub his chin. After he put his hand back down he said. "I will give you one more chance, you will receive more troops soon, use them to remove these new forces, no one can be in the way if the gates are to be opened." He ordered before disappearing back into the darkness. "Beware, girl, I'm coming for you." {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady (Kylie)} I woke up in a cold sweat in John's bed. John was sleeping next to me one of his hands on top of mine, and he moved a but before he opened his eyes. "What time is it?" He asked tiredly, as he sat up to look out a window to see it was still dark. "I just saw the Demon General talking to a shadowy figure, the reason they were killing the flower was to open the gates to Tartarus." "Oh no." He said then his eyes moved down and he averted his eyes quickly as he blushed, I looked to see what he saw, and it appeared one of the straps that went over my shoulder slipped, and one of my boobs was almost hanging out. "Does my boyfriend like what he sees?" I asked moving the other strap off my shoulder exposing both breasts. He liked back to, and his blush deepened as he said. "Yes, I do." He said shyly which prompted me to shake my torso causing them to jiggle. I could see a bulge under his side of the blanket and he moved to cover it but I stopped him. "No, let's do something fun." "Are you sure?" He asked with a little more confidence in his voice and I scooted closer to him and whispered in his ear. "Somebodies got a big boy in the basement," I said then I threw the blanket off to see his smooth black dick it looked more like a rod with a domed end. "Umm, this is my first time." He admitted. I leaned in close and whispered in his ear right before I hilted on his nine and a half inches of dick. "Mine too." "My god." He moaned as I felt the pain fade, so I slowly moved up and down his shaft making me moan in pleasure and slight pain but mostly pleasure. I felt him put his hands on my hips, and he sat up a bit more so our bodies pressed against each other. "So good." He said before giving me a long kiss. I moved his head down to my breasts, and he got the hint as he started to suck on them eagerly not wasting a second, and while he sucked on one he groped the other letting his thumb rub against my nipple teasingly as his tongue teased the other. I started moving faster as the sound of flesh slapping against flesh could be heard around the room as my moans grew louder. His other hand grabbed my ass, then he spanked me sending shivers up my spine. 'Oh fuck Oh fuck I'm gonna cum.' I thought as I pushed him down onto the bed as I started going faster while making the bed creak in the process. "Kylie I'm gonna cum," John told while breathing heavily as I rode his dick. "Good I want every drop," I told him, and my body felt stranger lighter and stronger as I did him even harder than before, then we both came, I felt my own pussy suck every drop as I collapsed on top of him covered in sweat, and my whole body engulfed in pleasure as I felt his cock pulse inside me as he continued to empty his load inside me. "That was amazing," John said between breaths. "Same, and I'm looking forward to next time," I told him before kissing his cheek, and sunlight started to enter the room. "Guess it too late to go back to sleep shall we wash up before heading out?" He asked me while gently embracing me, and he pulled out but his cock was still rock hard, as I felt it rub against my pussy, and it twitched sending small waves of pleasure through my sensitive body, then a small screen opened up in front of him but since it was backward, and a bit blurry I couldn't read it, and after he read it he gave me a nervous smile. "What is it? What's wrong?" I asked really nervous all of a sudden. "Oh, it's nothing really important just a message from the system." He told me but knowing him the way I do, I knew that was a lie. "Johnathan Harlock you tell me the truth right now." He sighed before he put his finger on one side of the screen then flipped it over for me to read. Hello John we knew you two would get together eventually and since my friend gave Kylie a small gift I thought I would do the same I added an adult section to help keep things interesting between you, and her, and don't worry about paying it's all free, so go nuts, also if you two want to send tokens you'll have to wait till after you reach the main storyline -The Merchants P.S if you for some reason you're turned to stone your kingdoms, and people will vanish until your released To say that I was blushing with embarrassment would be an understatement I was glowing, but I moaned again as his dick twitched. "YOU, ME SHOWER NOW!" I said forcefully. "Ok ok." He said sliding out from under me and stood up then he lead me to his bathroom that was fitted with a very large bathtub, and shower along with other necessities. "Wow, this is cool. Not as cool as my tower bathroom but just barely." I admitted as John got the shower ready for the two of us but he seemed to not notice what I really wanted to do, so I decided to give him a hint in the form of a blowjob. After he had gotten under the water I pushed him against the wall and dropped to my knees as his dick fitted nicely between my breasts, and I took the tip into my mouth as I mashed my breasts around the rest of his shaft. "Oh fuck." He said putting a hand on my head, but he didn't make me move so I did it for him by dropping my head further down his shaft and sucking on it like a lollipop. "I'm so glad I woke up this morning." He said before he began doing small thrusts between my breasts driving his dick deeper into my mouth. John helped me up off my knees and got me to lean against the wall as the shower head sprayed warm water across my back. "Oh taking me from behind like a Lycan," I said as I teasingly shook my ass a little. He pushed inside me and didn't waste any time as he pounded away, as he grabbed my hips, and the warm water made my body more sensitive I came hard. "AWWAAA, *PANT* *PANT* *PANT*" I howled as he pounded me for several minutes making cum again, and again. "Does my wolf want another filling?" John asked me as he started pounding me, as hard as he could, and with every thrust, I could feel his cock pulse, and for some reason, I could tell he was going to pump even more into me then he did before. "YES Yes, thousand times yes," I screamed as he thrust into one more time before I felt his warm seed being pumped into me again, and I felt like I was in paradise as I felt my womb being completely filled. He pulled out of me and a few ropes of cum sprayed onto my back but was quickly washed away, and John's knees gave out and he fell to the ground his cock still hard, and I might have been having a few regrets increasing his stamina, and endurance so much. "*PANT* *PANT* *PANT* *PANT* Thanks for the cream filling. I might just be prego now." I said looking over my shoulder. "We could go again but you would have to do most of the work." He told me then chuckled, as his cock twitched from being so sensitive. "I don't think that would be a good idea. I'm just as sensitive as you are so it wouldn't be any fun." I said trying not to cum and squirt all over him just from the water running on my back. "Ok but maybe next time we should buy a skill that increases my strength, my body didn't seem to keep up with my endurance, and stamina, and if you are pregnant I will keep you safe." He said seductively. "I don't need protection from you, I need support from you, let my elites protect me and you can fuck me all you want. But first I have a way to increase your strength." "Ok, what is it." He said just as he was about to open the shop but stopped from curiosity, and he got up next to me and kissed my cheek. "Well, I'll bite you and turn you into a Lycan," I said as I shifted my head into its other form. He looked a little scared but he put up an arm and said. "Try to be careful my arms not that thick, and I don't have a regeneration ability yet." He said. "Just trust me dear everything will be fine," I said as I leaned down and bit into his hand willing myself to turn him. He held in his scream of pain, then I took my jaw off him, and the wounds quickly healed. "So how do I change?" He asked me. "For every Lycan it's different. For some its anger others loyalty and yet others grief. You won't know until your first full moon night what it is. A screen popped up in front of John, and it said. you have contracted lycanthropy you will now have the ability to turn into a Lycan once your first forced transformation perks medium regeneration, increased strength x10, and increases stamina regen. Time till forced transformation Then it showed a timer counting down to the three nights, I heard John chuckle again before saying. "I was hoping I could turn right away so we could have some Lycan on Lycan action or maybe some Lycan on human," John said, as he hugged my naked body making me shudder. "Sorry babe them's the rules," I said sadly. "Well, at least I got increased strength that could be helpful in more ways than one." He said then picked me up and held me against his body as my legs went around him. "Don't you agree?" "Oh, I would definitely have to agree, my little pup," I said endearingly. He gave me a few kisses before setting me down on my feet, and we started washing each other. "So do you regret coming to this World?" John asked as he started with my legs. "Sometimes when Gnarl gets on my case to do something evil but for the most part not really," I replied. He moved up to my waist now, and he was very thorough to get every inch clean and he made me cum again as he gave me a quick fingering before moving higher. "And what about meeting me here was that the best moment of your time here?" He asked. "It was the second-best moment so far," I said "And I'm guessing the best one was when we took each other's first time." He said, as he finally got up to my breasts. "Yes, and the second time," I said with a cheeky grin then gasped for breath as he didn't waste time as he groped my breasts as he washed them. "Trust me this won't be the last time we have a long life ahead of us, you can be sure of that." He told me, as he kissed my neck. Not much to say about my time washing him because he is a stickman, and after he had made me climax again from groping my breasts we had finished and as we were drying ourselves he said. "Next time we should do it in the tub, what do you think?" He asked. "Sure let's do that Stud," I said seductively as I finished getting dressed and his dick had disappeared. "Ah, mistress finally back in your armor I see." His almighty Walnuttiness said. 'Yeah Walnut Brain what of it? I was having some special time with my boyfriend.' I said agitation clear in my voice. "I have located the green hive your right on top of it." He said with glee. "John, Gnarl just told me we are right on top of one of my hives. What's below us again?" I asked. "The scorpion den but it's now a mine." He told me. "Well, apparently the Green hive is down there," I said with a slight hint of disgust. "What's wrong?" He asked me. "They smell funny and are pretty weak except when they use sneak attacks." "Well I haven't received any reports maybe it's encased in stone, we'll have to go down there to find it." He told me and so we did, it was a massive cavern that looked like it went on for miles and there were sounds of metal hitting stone that echoed through the cavern. "This is where all our gold, and metal comes from and I don't even think we have scratched the surface yet." He said as he wrapped an arm around me. For some reason, the sounds of metal hitting stone gradually stop and a smell like thousands of rotten fish heads crops up. "I think they found the hive," I said covering my nose. "Yes, I think so too. Let's get it out of here and to your tower before anything bad happens." John said as he led me to a small mined out area, and not far in was a green glow coming from a hole in the wall. As we approached the hole the smell got worse and worse until I was on the verge of passing out. "There has to be a lot of them for the smell to be this bad." "Maybe, Another reason to get them out of here, but here's a serious question how are you going to get to your tower quickly i don't really want you to be gone for 4 days we just got back together?" He asked just as a tower node along with minion nodes popped up to our right. "That's how. Aww, you don't want to be away from me that's kinda cute." I said with a blush. He blushed and said. "Well I can't help it I want to keep you to myself." He said with embarrassment then looked at me. "You're the most beautiful woman I have ever met, and I love you." He said rubbing the back of his head. "Well you're the most handsome stickman I have ever seen and I love you too," I said with a grin making John arch an eyebrow or at least it looked that way given his lack of them. Then he shrugged and brown Elites soon came through the node, and greens hopped out of the hole in the wall. "Well, we'll talk about what that meant later for now let's get your hive to your tower," John said. I tried to order the greens to pick up the hive but instead, they dropped into an attack stance and some went invisible though I could still sense where they were. "Mistress seems the greens are giving you a little trouble why don't you turn into a Lycan to scare them, among all the weapons an overlady can posses, fear is among the greatest you can wield," Gnarl told me vindictively. And thus I initiated the change, catching one of the invisible ones with a paw to the skull when it lunged at me, and roared as loud as I could, causing those that were too close to drop to the ground unconscious. Soon the greens turned submissive as they did as they were ordered, and carried their hive and unconscious to the nodes, then I turned to look at John as he said. "That kinda turned me on." He said. I picked John up bridal style and loped off back towards our room. Once we got there I tossed him onto the bed, and before he could speak I shifted back then stripped naked before changing back again, and I noticed my breasts had grown much larger making his cock appear again as I jumped into the bed, and positioned myself then took his entire cock inside me once again. {Next day} We were both completely exhausted beyond belief, we had only stopped to eat or drink yesterday and we had kept going all through the night without rest, I was so full that I felt like I would explode, and John's body went limp an hour ago but I kept riding him as I moaned in his ear and told him how much I love him, and I collapsed on the bed next to him, and I changed back. "Well if you weren't before your definitely pregnant now," John said between heavy breaths. I rubbed the slight belly I had gained from all the cum and said. "We need names, clothes, toys, and weapons." "Weapons?" John asked as he managed to lift his head. "Yes, weapons if they are anything like you and they will grow fast so we need to be ready with training and tools of war for them," I said. "I understand but they might be stick people, and we don't wear clothes, but the other things are easy enough to get." He told me. "I'm sorry I derailed your day yesterday but for some reason, I couldn't stop myself," I said sheepishly. "Don't worry I had nothing planned I glad I spent it in bed with my girlfriend, and maybe soon to be wife." He said as he put one of his hands over mine and smile, as he somehow got enough strength to climb on top of me and give me a kiss while his tip rubbed against my pussy causing me to wince. "OW OW OW THAT STINGS!" I said, then John looked through a screen before pressing a button and a green potion came out. "Here this will take care of it." He told me while slowly letting me drink the contents of the bottle, and as it emptied my body felt better while still exhausted. "WAIT DID YOU SAY, WIFE!?" I said as I jolted up throwing him off in the process. "Yes why wouldn't I, I love you, I don't ever want to leave you, and I can't get you out of my head." He said before sitting up to face me with joy in his eyes and placed a hand on my cheek. "Daw, that's so sweet," I said barely keeping myself from jumping his bones again. He kissed me but just as he did the door swung wide open to show Kefla breathing heavily, but then a heavy blush was soon on her face as she realized the situation. I covered myself and asked. "What is it, what's wrong?" "Demons are attacking our borders." She told us. John slipped out of bed, grabbed his sword, and said. "Where I'll create more troops there." He asked. "One of the towns' that we passed by, on our way back." She told him, then I felt him spend a lot of magical energy even though I had little experience in sensing others' magic, but I could tell he used a lot. "Which village I can have Gnarl send some Elites and Blues to meet us." "It was the second village we passed." She told me. "Let's get going," John said as he ran out of the room with a fire in his eyes shortly followed by Kefla soon after two of my Elites entered and helped me get dressed and into my armor. After that, I ran after John, and Kefla, I found them right in front of the node. "Gnarl open a node portal to the second village we passed on the return trip and send the rest of my Elites through along with the Lycans," I told him "Yes, mistress," Gnarl said before the node opened, and we all started jumping in, and when we got to the village it was absolute chaos the buildings were on fire, and fighting was everywhere, but the stick people held their ground against the invading force. Leading them all were two new demons. One looked like a larger one of their infantry with an ax blade made of what looked like silver and the other stood at 9 feet tall with red skin, and a human-like face with four horns on his head but two smaller than the other's he wore little armor over his chest, and a long black robe covering his legs, and his sword was almost as tall as he was, and flames radiated off it with every swing as he guarded with his shield. "Seems they came prepared this time," John said as he drew his sword from his hip, as he walked towards the two. "John the shorter one is mine I'm gonna take that ax and shove it down his throat," I told him. "Well, then I guess I'm gonna have a difficult fight then." He said as he sighed before charging toward the red one. It seemed the big one noticed me before I could make a plan of attack and charged me while preparing to do a sweep attack with its ax. I ducked down onto all fours and shifted fully and tried to run him through with one of my shoulder spikes. He jumped back before the spike could pierce him, then he kicked me with his left hoof sending me to the ground then he lifted his ax above his head and tried to cleave my head in two but I rolled to my right and lunged at him. I tackled him to the ground and held his ax in place as I tried to bite his head off but he moved his head from side to side before head butting my snout. I howled in pain and I looked back at it to see it was too late as it basically slapped me with the broad side of its ax, making me fall off him. We both quickly got up as we got ready to fight once more, but now several of my Lycan browns came to my aid. "Subdue it not kill it, this is my kill!" I ordered, and they charge him but quite a few of them were beheaded before they could lunge at him but one of them latched onto his left arm, making him have to bang his arm against a wall to get it off. While it was distracted trying to get the Lycan brown off its arm several more brought it to its knees by slashing the tendons on the back of its legs. It fell to its knees, which gave me the opportunity to bite it's head off at the neck causing me to absorb a ton of life force of the purple and blue variety, after its body fell to the ground John and the red demon burst from a nearby roof and stood on the rooftop, it seemed they had both taken a little damage but it didn't seem to bother either of them. I picked up the silver ax then threw it at the red demon but as it nearby his I saw his eyes glance towards my direction before swinging its blade, to deflect the ax towards John. John easily enough ducked under the ax as it flew over his head. 'THANK FAUST IT MISSED. THAT COULD OF BEEN BAD.' I thought in relief as the ax sailed back around to me and dug into the ground at my feet. {This Point Of View is brought to you by: John} 'That was close.' I thought as I looked down to see Kylie in her Lycan form, but now wasn't the time to be distracted as the demon charged me. He brought his sword down over my head but I held my sword up, and the roof broke under my feet, as I blocked sending me to the bottom floor. He soon followed as he tried to cleave my head in two but I blocked with my sword again but I was forced to one knee as he landed, and I could feel the heat radiating off his sword as it inches closer to my head making me sweat. "Pathetic." The demon said as he kicked me sending me through a wall, and just like that i waa outside again covered in cuts, and bruises. The building soon collapsed on top of the demon but he was unscathed, as he walked out of the rubble. After getting up, I realized my sword was gone, that was when I saw him standing on it, and he seemed to know too, as he stomped breaking it in two. "I can't see why the general couldn't deal with you himself your weak." The demon said as he kicked the broken sword away. "After I kill you I think I'll take that Lycan friend of yours, and feed your corpse to her." He said before laughing, and I was filled with rage as I felt a power rising within me. My hands were enveloped in blue flames as I glared at him and they grew in intensity with every moment that passed. "YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HER!" I shouted as whips made of the intense flames formed, and the ground just from the intensity of the flame turned to magma, then I lifted one of my hands as I send the whip his way. He blocked with his sword, making the whip wrapped around it, making him grin. "Really flames my sword can be…." He said but then his grin turned into a look of fear as his sword melted right in front of him. I didn't waste time as I made the other whip warp around him, and I pursuit made this one not as hot so he won't die instantly. He screamed in pain, as I walked towards him then retracted one of my whips but kept one around him then forced my fist into his chest as I let the flames course through his body, then blue flames erupted from his mouth, and eye sockets as he was burned from the inside out. I felt so powerful at that moment, but as he died all the energy drained from my body as I collapsed from exhaustion. {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady (Kylie)} Having seen the whole fight I rushed over to John as I called for a medic blue, and I caught him just before he hit the ground. He looked up at me and smiled. "Hey, Kylie." He said weakly. "Hey, baby. I'm getting you looked at ok." I said as the medic corp member started looking him over. "I think it's just mana exhaustion I'm running on fumes." He said then groaned in pain. "And maybe a broken rib or two." "Master fractured four ribs and his mana is depleted." The medic said rather smartly. And as he said then the sound of battle started to fad, as I looked around to see life force, and loot all over the place, and the battle had ended. Seeing that it is over, I gave the order to collect all the dead except John's people and all the swag. I changed back to my normal, form then John put a hand on my cheek. "Looks like we won our first battle together." He said with a grin. "Yeah, I guess we did," I said nuzzling him back then there was screaming. "AHH IT BURNS, IT BURNS MISTRESS." A Lycan Brown yelled running up to us waving blistered hands. "WHAT DID YOU TOUCH!" I growled at it gaining a foot of height and some claws. I felt John starting rubbing my cheek with his thumb. "Hey calm down its ok." He said in an attempt to calm me. I turned to him and winked trying to clue him in it's just a scare tactic, and he nodded. Turning back to the Lycan brown I reiterated my question but in a bit of a calmer manner. "What.Did.You.Touch?" I asked again "Shiny ax!" It replied with a whimper. The medic looked over the Lycan's hands then said. "It's in my expert opinion these are silver burns they should heal in about a week but there will be some scarring." He diagnosed. Two plain browns run-up lugging the pieces of John's sword. "For da Master." "You can have it, Kylie, you might find more use for it than me," John said. Reverting back to my smaller size I said. "Thanks, hun. I wonder if Giblet is still around or if it's Ricket that's Forgemaster?" "Well first we should head home, and I'll have my people give the ones who died a proper burial." He said struggling to get up, then Kefla came to his side, and put one of his arms over her shoulder. I swiftly scooped him up and away from Kefla into a bridal carry. I heard several of the male stick people chuckle behind me, and I turned my head to growl at them before heading to the portal mode. "Just take me to our room I'll see if there is a skill to quicken the process." He told me as he groaned. "Why would you want to quicken the process now once your first change happens your regen factor will increase from a few hours to a few minutes?" I queried. "Oh i thought it was already at full strength, well I can still go through my skills, and see if there is anything useful, I also need a new sword." He said as we quickly went to our room. Upon arriving there I laid John on the bed and laid down next to him and closed my eyes. {Next morning. This Point Of View of brought to you by John} It seemed I had woken up before Kylie as I noticed the pain was gone, from my chest, but now really wasn't the time to fool around, so I opened the shop and began slowly looking through the shop but then the screen turned black as words appeared on the screen. due to recent level increase new content will become available beginning update now it said then an hourglass appeared in the middle of the screen, as it flipped over and over again before the screen returned to normal. There were a bunch of new additions to both skills, and in the shop, but I was only interested in the shop right now as I searched through it until I found a sword that interested me. Sword of the red Dragon Created from the dying breath of the ancient red dragon this sword has the power to kill both the living and the dead. Attack 750 Unlocks dragon eyes Ability unlock unknown must reach requirements Enchantment as hot as dragons fire when drawn allowing it to melt through most armor, and weapons 'This will be useful.' I thought then bought it, as a sword in a sheath landed in my lap, then I placed it beside the bed, as I began looking through skills. I had 50 points right now meaning I leveled up 5 times from that battle, so I had plenty to spend on two or three skills. I looked through the list, and only really found one thing that interested me, it was a healer from the second stick war game though the staff was different it didn't really matter, and now I had 30 skill points, then I heard a beeping sound then it pulled up my skill tree. Fire magic level 2 Slash attack level 3 Unique stickman creation Ice/water magic level 2 Earth magic level 1 Swordsmanship level 2 Mp recovery level 5 Body of iron Strategist Stamina of a dragon Medium regeneration Beast transformation Strength 10x Stamina regen NEW rage I clicked rage then it pulled up a description. Rage A powerful skill that greatly enhances all attack, how much and how long it lasts depends on how much rage the user feels 'Might be best for Kylie not to know about this." I thought then closed the skill tree to go back to the shop. I found another skill that interested me, and it was called final charge. Final charge A circumstantial skill like it names states can only be used during dire circumstances where the user is on the verge of death, this ability allows the user to turn the tide by releasing very powerful energy through the body, and greatly enhance a skill for a single attack. Now I was left with only 10 points as I bought it. And for my final skill, I bought Telekinesis Telekinesis A skill that allows the user to move things with his mind how much he can lift depends on the level of the skill, and the strength of the user's mind. After that, I rolled onto my side to face Kylie and closed my eyes hoping today nothing would go wrong. Surprises and Preparations for WarAuthor's Note hey guys and gals thanks for reading and here is a bonus chapter. please leave a like and a comment letting us know what you like or dislike about our story and stay tuned for the next chapter. The War Begins "Wake up." I heard a voice say waking me up to see Kefla right above my face. "Wait, what time is it?" I asked a little tired. "It's time for breakfast." She said sitting me up, then I looked to my right to see Kylie in her Lycan form curled up in a ball. I put a hand on her, and gently shook her. "Come on, it's time for breakfast," I said before yawning. Kylie uncurled from her ball and opened one eye before giving a huge yawn that showed all of her teeth. "*YAWN* Did you say breakfast?" She asked in a voice half-asleep and half-excitement. "Yes, I'm going to go ahead so you can get dressed, then I'll tell you about last night," I said before standing up and grabbing my sword before leaving with Kefla. And when I got to the dining hall I saw two plates one stacked with pancakes, and some toast on the side, and then there was mine, I internally sighed as I looked at it before sitting down. It was simply a few small cubes of meat and a few scrambled eggs, due to my new body I could only eat so much, but the tradeoff was my taste buds were greatly enhanced, so things had much more flavor, but still compared to hers my breakfast was kind of pitiful. "Guess who and what?" Came a voice from behind me before hands covered my eyes. I gently grabbed her arms before saying. "Oh, I don't know maybe my beautiful Lycan girlfriend," I said with a smile before she uncovered my eyes. "Correct. Now guess what my surprise is? But no peeking." Kylie said. I put my hands in front of me, then rubbed my thumbs together as I thought what her surprise was, but I had no idea. "I have no idea why don't you show me?" I asked her. "Ok, you can turn around now," Kylie said. I turned around and saw a dress that made my jaw drop, but in her hand was a two-colored orb. It was mostly pink but had a few blue splotches on it. "Wow you look amazing and what is that?" I asked her looking at it with curiosity. Kylie rubbed her belly then said. "Thanks, I had Snips make it for me especially for you. It's a pregnancy spell. Gnarl found it in the tower's archives. It shows the gender or genders of the babies. *SQUEE*WE ARE HAVING A LITTER OF 10 LITTLE ONES." Kylie announced. I ran up to her and hugged her, before lifting her in the air. "That's fantastic," I said happily while I held her tightly. "I'm a bit worried though. My character never experienced this because she never found a mate.l so we are in uncharted territory." Kylie said as she burst into tears. I set her down and held her close to me to comfort her before I kissed her forehead. "Don't worry my love, whatever happens, we will always have each other," I told her, as I got her to her chair at the table. I motioned for her to eat and she started to eat slowly. "So what happened last night that you needed to tell me?" Kylie asked. After going to my chair I told her how the shop updated, and new skills and items were added, this was when I showed her my new sword and explained its stats, then I told her the skills i bought, so the only thing I didn't tell her was about 'rage'. "Wow, I'm impressed. I wonder if that store has anything like 'The Path Of The Lycan'?" Kylie queried to herself. "I'll have to check later, also why don't we go visit Celestia, and Luna after breakfast they would want to know about your pregnancy," I suggested as I used a fork to pick up one of the cubes of meat. "Are you sure you should go what about all the administrative duties you have here?" Kylie asked with a hint of fear in her voice. "The only thing of importance today is building warehouses to secure extra food for emergencies, and Kelfa is already at work securing the border, so we will have more warning of attacks," I told her, trying to set her at ease although it didn't seem to work. "It's ok it's not like they are going to attack me on sight," I said with a smile, as I had already eaten half my food. "Weeeeellll about that!" Kylie said while rubbing the back of her neck. I raised an eyebrow, then said. "Ok then…. How about you go in first, and tell them the news, then describe me to them so they don't attack." I suggested. There was silence while we ate for a bit until she finished her food except for the toast. "Ok if you insist on coming that's probably the best course of action shall we get going?" She said standing up and grabbing her toast. {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady Kylie} 'Hey, Walnut Brain you up!' I yelled into the telepathic link. 'Yes, I'm here mistress what is your command.' He answered back. 'How far to my sisters' castle is it from the closest portal?' 'The closet one let me see. Hey, you hand me that, no the other one pea brain.' He said then went silent before saying. 'Ah yes, the closest one is south of what the locals call Castle Town.' He told me 'Oh, yea I forgot I had the minions build that.' I said walking towards the City Node. Upon us arriving at the City Node, I said. 'Hey, Gnarl can ya open the Node to Castle Town so we can go through?' 'Of course mistress.' He said as it opened. 'Thank you Gnarl!' I communicated to him right after I went through to the other side as I put on my helmet. "So this is where they live," John said coming through right behind me. "Yup, they live in the castle on the other side of town. Now should I or shouldn't I bring a couple of Elites?" I asked John. "You shouldn't, and I'll stay here till you get things sorted with them so they don't attack me." He said as he leaned against a tree. "Ok, I'll send a guard for you when the air is clear enough for you to meet them," I said kissing him on the lips before turning around and walking to the main gate. As I walked towards the gate I saw two guards standing on either side of the porthole. "HALT, WHO GOES THERE." Yelled the guard on the left when I reached the main gate. "My name is Kylie I am here to see my sisters," I said as I pointed to my mark. "Right away your majesty. OPEN THE GATES!" The guard on the right, clearly the senior guard, yelled. "What significance does that mark have? Who is that?" The guard on the left asked the senior guard. "You fool that's the youngest princess who has been away. I'm so sorry your highness for his ignorance he's new. What should I do with him?" The senior guard asked me. "Nothing. If he is new then he will have learned from this." I said playing my part of the princess. "By your wishes your grace. Would you like an escort to the castle?" The senior officer asked. "That would be most appreciated. I choose this young stallion here to be my guide." I said as I pointed to the young guard. "M-m-m-m-me? But I'm just a private why would you want me? Surely the lieutenant would be better suited to be your guide!" He said in a panic. "Private Straight Arrow when a Princess asks you to be her guide you accept immediately!" The now identified as a Lieutenant barked. "It's ok Lieutenant. Private Arrow, I chose you because you are the lowest man on the totem pole and thus have the least experience manning the gates. Now if I took the lieutenant that would leave you to watch the gates and in the case of a monster attack or other emergency you most likely wouldn't have the experience to handle it." I explained, and they seemed to both accept my explanation as the private started to lead me towards the castle. We walked relatively without problems as the locals mostly ignored me, and went about their business, then we arrived at the castle. "Thank you, Private Arrow, but could I trouble you to show me to the throne room?" I asked. "Of course this way." He said then he lead me through the castle until we found the throne room. Once they saw me Celestia said. "Welcome we were wondering when you were going to visit." She said as she and Luna walked up to me with smiles on their faces. "Hello, sisters, it's really good to see you again. Is there anywhere we can have some privacy and comfort? I have some news for you and it's been a long walk." "Oh, what is this news?" Luna asked as she teleported us to what looked like her room where I promptly puked all over the floor. Celestia made all of the puke vanish with her magic before Luna said. "Sorry forgot about that." She said shyly. "It's not your fault, it's the little ones' faults," I said wiping my mouth off. "What do you mean?" Celestia asked as she sat me down on the bed. "Well first order of business is I'm a Lycanthrope." "We doth already know about that when we first met, but how does that explain your puking?" Luna told me as they both sat down next to me. "You both are going to be aunts to a litter of 10 little ones in about a month," I said quickly as I was hiding my face then I heard them squee as they both hugged me. "We're so happy for you," Luna said, and this continued for a while before they got serious. "So then who is the father then?" Celestia asked me. "His name is John and he is…. Artemis!" I called out for my ghost. "Yes, Guardian?" She said as she appeared hovering over my left shoulder. The two of them looked at my ghost curiously before Artemis flew in front of us. "Hey, Artemis could you project a life-size image of John for me, cape and crown on, please?" I asked her and she did, and I had noticed how tall he was 5 foot 7. "So what is he?" Luna asked. "He is what's called a stick person. He is also their ruler." I explained. "A ruler," Celestia said curiously as she went into thought. "I would very much like to meet him," Luna said as she stood up. "You're not gonna hurt him are you?" I asked. Luna shrugged, while Celestia shook her head. "Hey, sis Luna can you get Private Straight Arrow here he can fetch him for us?" I asked her and she teleported away and came back a couple of minutes later with Private Arrow. "Is there something I can do for you?" He asked I motioned him over and whispered what I wanted him to get and where to find John into his ear. He then quickly left to retrieve him and the candy I asked for, then Luna asked. "So what's John like?" "He is kind, funny, chivalrous, and I love him with all of my heart." After a few minutes, the private came back with both John and the candy. "Hi honey, these are my sisters Celestia and Luna," I said pointing to them each respectively. But when I pointed at Luna I noticed she wasn't there, then there was the sound of swords colliding, so I turned to see Luna behind John with her sword drawn, and he was blocking her attack not even looking at her. "LUNA, PLEASE STOP THIS FOOLISHNESS. I LOVE HIM AND I DON'T WANT HIM BROKEN." I screamed. "If he couldn't block this then why would I trust him to protect you." She said sheathing her sword. I just sat there glaring at her while rubbing my belly. John also put away his sword as he took luna's place next to me. "Well now that that is done can we focus on Kylie," John said. "Yes I agree she is the one pregnant here," Celestia said. "Thank you, Celly. Now, Private Arrow, do you have the other items I asked for?" I queried. He gave me the candy then left the room. I looked in the bag and went *SQUEE*. "What's in the bag he had it when he came to get me?" John asked. I showed him the contents and it was saltwater taffy. "Taffy you hate taffy." He said. "Well, I got a craving for it so sue me," I said glaring at him my eyes turning gold. "Ok ok." He said fearfully looking away. I suddenly felt bad about doing that and hugged him to my ample chest. "I'm so so sorry John I don't know what came over me," I said. "Mood swings," Luna said sitting on the floor. "I don't think I'm feeling so good maybe I should lie down," I said. John helped me lay down on the bed and it seemed Celestia scanned me with her magic. "It looks like your children are taking a lot of your magic you should stay in Lycan form till you give birth." She said. "Are you sure that's wise Celly? What if that hurts the babies?" I asked in full-on mothering mode. "They'll be fine." She assured me. "But how can you be sure?" I asked. "I'll cast a spell to make sure they will be unharmed." She said then cast a spell making my stomach glow before fading. I shifted then and the feeling of being sick stopped but I was still tired. "Is it alright Luna if I take a nap here?" I asked after yawning. "Sure take all the time you need." She told me while petting me. "Thanks, guys I'll see you when I wake up," I said as I drifted off to sleep. (This Point Of View is brought to you by John) All three of us watched as she quickly fell asleep, then I said. "I'll leave her to you two, I have things to do back at my empire," I told them, and they nodded in agreement as I quietly left the room, then quickly returned to the node. After returning to the castle Kefla approached me. "Is today the day?" She asked me, and I nodded I was going to put a plan in motion that I came up with shortly after creating Kefla, and I told her about it after Kylie returned. I was going to make a council, and now that we are facing an enemy force it is important to have multiple commanders defending, different locations. I also had an extension built into the castle, and that was where I was going as Kefla followed me. When we got there there was a very large stone table surrounded by 8 chairs one of them a very large one. "Time to get to work," I said. (One hour later) After an hour I was on the last one, the ones I had made so far are magikill, swordwraith, archidon, miner and healer. The Magikill's name was Merlin he was a classic. Didn't really do anything special with him, he has a white beard, a wizard hat, and his staff. His unique ability allows him to use all the magic of the magikill. The swordwraith I gave him the lava skin, I gave him a red goatee, and his unique ability makes him a lot faster if he wants to, and I have him the dragon eye they were red slitted eyes that gave him heat, and night vision his name is Alexander Next was the archadon, I made this one a girl she had royal blue hair that went to her shoulders, she also had the ice skin, her name is Elizabeth, and her unique ability makes her a master archer. Now the miner he won't be a commander but an important member of the council. His name is Will Smith he is a classic miner, and with his unique skill, he can completely restore ore veins. Now lastly the healer I made this one a girl as well though it was hidden by her good her hair was lime green and was in a ponytail, and if it wasn't it was as long as Kefla's, her name Jessica. But the giant was the problem I couldn't come up with a unique skill I gave him the vamp skin, and I plan to name him Atlas. I continued to think about what his skill would be then I got it if he slammed his hammer onto the ground, and can summon up to 50 minions to fight by his side. After confirming it, he looked at me before kneeling and put the top his hammer to the ground. "Rise Atlas now that the Council is finally formed we must get to pressing matters," I said then Merlin stepped forward. "Yes, the demon crisis shall we discuss once we sit down, my back is killing me." He said as he tried straightening his back. "That what you get for slouching," Alexander said as he sat down them, then Jessica healed his back before taking a seat himself. After everyone had taken a seat, including me, I started our meeting. "Demons are already attacking our borders we need a better spotting system, while Kefla had already been moving troops it won't be much help if we don't know where and when they attack," I said then Merlin stroked his beard. "I concur, perhaps watchtowers could be of some use, though not high enough to see for miles, it can help people prepare." He suggested. "It's best if we find out where they're coming from then we don't have to worry because no force in this world can equal the empire's," Alexander said I forgot I made him like that might not have been the best idea. "First we must secure our borders, after securing a good defense then we can search for them, we were caught off guard once it won't happen again," I said. "Yes but first we must increase our numbers to set up a proper defense," Kefla added and I knew this was gonna take awhile. (Demon general POV) "YOU HAVE FAILED ME AGAIN!" The demon lord yelled as I fell to my knees. "It's not my fault the commander you sent was too cocky and got himself killed," I explained. "And how was he cocky?" He asked. "I believe he said something to insult that Lycan then his fire magic became so intense he melted his sword," I told him. The demonic went quiet for a moment then said. "Then I guess I underestimated them for our next attack to have any effect we will have to separate them." He said then went into thought. "First send a sufficient force to attack the pony princesses, that Lycan will undoubtedly go to her sisters' sides." "Sisters?" I asked. "Yes i could feel a faint presence after Faust died I believe she gave her blood, and after sending them you will attack the stickman's border again." He ordered. "With them separated it will make it easier to weaken them, so we can crush them. "Yes my lord," I said before walking away. {3rd person} The demon lord hadn't dissipated left as he turned around. "Seems someone had decided to spy on us again let's see what we can find out shall we." He said then quietly chanted. "Oh your pregnant and you gave some of your power to your stick friend, but it seems that's all I'll learn, for now, you should learn not to spy on others." He said before the room began to fade into darkness. "ENOUGH!" A voice shouted as everything brightened. {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady Kylie} I shot up out of bed to see Celestia and Luna sit beside me with worried faces. "Why didn't you tell us about the demons?" Celestia asked as she brought me in for a hug. "Because I never got the chance to have sisters before and I didn't want to lose you guys so soon after getting you," I said on the verge of tears. "Well, it seems this new demon lord will bring us into this conflict whether we like it or not," Luna said, as she repeated what he said to Celestia. "Yes this is troubling we must prepare," Celestia said standing up. "What can I do to help? I am technically one of you now so this queendom is partly my responsibility." "I don't know since we know about the attack we can prepare but Equestria has one of the strongest militaries in the world, so they would send a massive army, so we might need you, by our side," Celestia said. "But then we would be playing into their hands," Luna told her. "It doesn't matter how large your army is I will bolster it with my own Celly and LuLu I can't just stand by and do nothing. The only problem is what about John." I said with a hell of a lot of worry in my voice. "Let's use my mirror," Luna said as she walked up to a full-body mirror then proceed to tap on it, as ripples went across it. "It does not send audio but it will allow us to see what he is doing, all you have to do is think about him, and he will appear in the mirror." She explained. I shakily walked up to the mirror and touched the side causing an image to appear of a round table. In one chair was John, and in the 7 others were Stick people that had unique characteristics, such as the lava swordwraith having eyes, and in the center of the table was a large map with small figures of his troops. "And from there we will fortify our border," John said suddenly as he waved his hand to move many of the figures, to a line drawn on the map. "Looks like he already knows that demons are gonna attack him again," I said. Then Kefla spoke. "Now onto a pressing matter, we need to find out when they are going to attack next, we don't even know how many there are." She said. "Oh, I wish there was a way to communicate with them. I need to let him know they are gonna attack soon." I said while waving my hands around wildly, that was when the Magikill seemed to notice me. "Emperor it seems your wife is using some kind of scrying spell, and she looks worried." He said stroking his beard. "Where is she, Merlin?' He asked but Merlin didn't answer. " Luna is there a way to communicate with ponies on the other end of this?" "Yes though normally to communicate, it requires two mirrors, but you can write something." She told me. Overjoyed at being able to let them know about the threat I breathed on the mirror and wrote backward 'they will attack soon'. "It seems she is telling us they will attack soon," Merlin told everyone. "Then we don't have time to waste," John said standing up, as the image faded. "Thanks, Lulu for that it helped that I could warn him and now that we know that Merlin can see the scrying mirror we can communicate simple messages to John through him," I said giving Luna a big hug. "Now then we must also prepare for battle, are you sure you can fight?" Celestia asked me with worry. "I'm going to send for my 'handmaidens'. With my armor I will be fine to do battle as long as they don't use silver weapons on me I will heal in a matter of seconds. If they do use silver it will take about a minute to heal a small cut." I explained. "And the babies?" Luna asked. "I'm still relatively early in the pregnancy so it should be fine. Right?" I asked while rubbing my belly. "Ok Celestia you sent a letter to the general, I and Kylie will get our armor," Luna told Celestia. Celestia then left the room, leaving me and Luna alone. "GNARL!" I yelled into the link with urgency. "Yes, mistress?" Gnarl said as he replied. "I need my four handmaidens, my armor, and our whole stores of minions. WE.ARE.GOING.TO WAR." I told Gnarl. "Yes, my mistress." He said, and I could tell he was grinning. A few minutes later we could hear screaming coming from the town and a few minutes later Private Straight Arrow showed up followed by my handmaidens, who are the strongest of the Elites, carrying my armor. "These 4 are here to see you, my princess." He said. "Thank you, Arrow may I call you Arrow?" I asked and he nodded. As soon as that exchange was done, my handmaidens rushed into the room and started fussing over me and helping me take off my dress and put on my armor that shifted as it got closer to me. "Mistress after this battle you should take it easy until the babies come. It's not good to put undue stress on them or yourself while they are in the womb." Angela my head handmaiden said. "I agree with them after this you should go back to John he seems to be a good stallion," Luna said as she started putting on her armor that somehow manifested out of nowhere. "But I came to stay with you till they are born. I figured you would want to get to know your nieces and nephews especially since if anything happens to us you two will be taking care of them." I said. "I know but this is an important time for you and John you should stay together," Luna said before hugging me. "Fine. But I will need a scrying mirror to let you know when it's time." I said in a tone that broached no argument. "Of course," she said letting go of me. (8 hours later) "Are you sure they will pass through here," Celestia asked a soldier. "Yes, they will be here soon." He said and the odds weren't good the demon army was 4 times larger than Equestria's so Celestia decided to make their stand at a choke point to even the odds we were between two mountains that made sure they couldn't outflank us. Even with my 10,000 browns, 40 Lycan Browns, 400 greens, 80 blues, 100 Elites, my handmaidens, and me, we were still outnumbered 2 to 1. "Ye take the low road and we'll take the high road and we'll be to Castle Town before ye." I sang to myself my version of Loch Lomond. "They'll be here soon you should prepare yourself," Luna said as she looked through a telescope. "I am prepared. Prepared to rip some heads off their shoulders." I growled. Soon the sounds marching could be heard echoing off the mountain as Luna said. "Looks like you'll get your chance at that." I looked off into the distance to see the massive black army approaching weapons in hand, and I said a large group of them carrying silver weapons ranging from swords to bows and arrows to axes to mauls. 'Gnarl send in the Greens once they clear the canyon entry.' I ordered through the link 'Yes mistress, but are you sure you can do this?' Gnarl asked. 'Do what Walnut brains?' I asked sweetly. 'This battle is not in your favor, you can just leave this to the minions.' He told me. 'Unlike the minions, I can't be killed by mortal blades.' I replied. 'Fair enough.' He said as the army grew closer. "You've been quiet," Celestia said. I turned to her and said. "I was talking to Gnarl about my inability to die from mortal blades." Soon the Equestrian army started to take their positions as the demon horde started to charge towards us at full speed. Celestia stepped forward saying. "RANGED UNITS AT THE READY." She said using the canterlot voice. 'Now Gnarl!' I called through the link. Soon the greens took off disappearing from sight as Celestia said. "Fire!" And not even a second later spells and arrows filled the air as they rained down in the demons not causing much of a dent in the overall army. Then the work of the greens became apparent as 400 hundred demons fell dead before the greens retreated to the walls and became visible halfway up. "Lycan Browns charge the demons but stay away from the silver wielders! Elites make a path to the head honchos so we can take them out! Browns follow the path the Elites make and takedown any stragglers!" I commanded. They did as I ordered as they charged through the middle of the demon horde, and that was when they finally reached the Equestrian army and shouts, and screams filled the air along with the sounds of battle. ‘Gnarl what is the death count so far for our side?’ I asked quickly 'For the Equestrians, I don't know but minions we have lost two hundred browns already no Lycans yet they're holding their own.' He informed me. ‘Well keep me updated on any major changes in our forces. Now, where are the silver wielders I have a mace with their name on it.’ I said as I brandished Apocalyptor. 'It seems they are staying in a group, and they already have you in their sights.' He told me. “Well let's get down to business and bust some heads.” I yelled 'And Mistress are you sure you want to go in with a mace we just finished your new sword, we made from master John's sword.' Gnarl told me. ‘Bitchin, send that sword here now!’ I said with excitement. 'Of course mistress.' He said then a node opened up next to me as a sword was thrown through and started floating in the air next to me. "They added their own touch to it, of course, they were very excited to have something like this, and they managed to alter the enchantment to where it doubles the life force of those you kill with it.' He explained. ‘Ah, perfect thanks Gnarl for the Bitchin sword!’ I said taking it from the air next to me and rushing the first Silver Wielder. It wielded an axe and brought it over his head with the intent to cut off my head but instead, I cut off its arms, then I caught the handle of the ax careful not it touch the sliver then threw it at another that wielded silver embedding it in its head. '2 down.' I thought as I moved on to another this one has a short sword. I used my sword’s longer blade to stab him before he could do the same to me, but then I felt immense pain in my arm as I saw a dagger in it. I saw the one that did it then bite his head off before pulling the dagger out. I lost myself in the battle all I could see were limbs flying every time I swung my new sword, and the bodies of those that I had killed. I didn't know how long I had fought, and frankly, I didn't care but then I felt two hands on my shoulders. "Kylie are you ok?" One asked with worry. I spun around and started to swipe at them before I saw it was Celestia and Luna. I just barely stopped my claws from slicing into their faces too much only leaving slight cuts on their cheeks. They both stepped back in shock at seeing me like this. “Your eyes they're red!” Luna exclaimed. "What's happening to you?" Celestia asked. “It's a condition called The Blood-Lust it affects all Greater Lycans in the heat of battle,” I said as my eyes slowly lost their red tint and returned to gold. "Well at least your back to normal now, should we go see how john's battle went?" Luna asked. “Yes let’s,” I said. We walked through the battlefield as I gave Gnarl orders to collect the bodies of our fallen Ponies and minions alike for burial and rebirth respectively and to have the regular Browns gather all the silver weaponry, the corpses of the demons and also all the life force for research. Chapter 5The War Continues {two hours later} “Jeez, it took forever to get our forces through the nodes!” I said exasperatedly. "Well it's possible John's army is still traveling to the battle," Luna said as we arrived in the city to see a few exhausted Magikills sitting around. “SOLDIERS WHAT HAPPENED HERE?” I asked the Magikills. "We're tired from teleporting all 50,050 troops of the emperor's army to the border to fight the demons army, but we still might have enough energy to send you three if you want?" One of them replied with a female voice. (1hour 40 minutes earlier) "Great job creating that spell Merlin now once we create a gate or something that can use the spell automatically we can it will be a great assist," I told Merlin, and he nodded his head in appreciation. "Now then Have the Magilills make their minions, they will be the first line of defense," I told him before he walked away. "And what if us your majesty?" Kefla asked as she stood between the rest of my new generals except Will Smith, he wasn't meant for combat. I had a total of ten thousand of each combat unit, plus 50 healers scattered around the army "So how far away are they?" I asked. "From what we have gathered at least 10 miles most of the army is mostly made of the larger ones that Kylie fought before plus a large red-winged demon leading them," Kefla told me. "Good the more we know about our enemy the better the minions will charge the enemy first, speartons will take a defensive position, and make sure they don't outflank us, Atlas you summon your minions as well, Elisabeth go to your archers well need you to lower their numbers, and to take out that demon if he takes to the air. Alexander I trust you, and your troops to deal with demons that break through the speartons." I said, and he nodded before quickly running off. "Jessica try to help however you can, and don't get hurt," I said, and she bowed while she put a hand on her chest. "Yes, your majesty." She said before standing upright and walking off. "I will take my spot at the front of the army," Kefla said before she started to walk off, but I said. "Are you sure you should be at the front?" I asked her. "Yes, I had acquired a new skill that will be most useful it is called honor guard." She said then a screen popped up in front of me. Would you like to see information on honor guard Y/N I pressed Y then another screen popped up Honor guard A skill that requires a shield, and when used in a shield wall it creates a magical barrier that combines the defenses, and effects of all shields in the shield wall After looking at it I nodded at Kefla, and she walked off I sorted for her she was the first unique one I created so I almost thought of her as a daughter. I drew my sword, as I saw the army 3 times the size of mine marching over the horizon. I approached the front of the army just behind the Speartons as they formed a shield wall, that was a mixture of colors. The demons army started to charge as they saw my army, and once they were in range the 50,050 minions ran between us towards the demons as arrows, and spell flew past them hitting the demons, and destroying their formation just enough for the minions to take advantage of it. 'Ok, everything is going good so far.' I thought then something took to the air, it was at least 9 feet tall with two swords . He was flying towards me then a volley of arrows were fired at him, but then they got close they either burst into flame or did absolutely nothing to him. I ran in front of my army so I could deal with him myself, then as he got close he landed on the ground not far from me, as it drew its swords. 'Why do I always get the big one?' I thought as he roared before charging me. 'Well, no use complaining now.' I thought as I held my sword in front of me as I held it with both hands. He swung both his swords at once but I blocked with my sword, and instead of his swords melting I was forced to one knee. He roared in my face which made me smell his horrible breath. "What have you been eating!" I yelled nearly barfing, as I managed to roll to the side. After his sword hit the ground I kicked him in the face, but it didn't seem to do much as he came at me again. I swung my sword, and a slash of bright red energy was launched at him, it explained on contact, and I saw him fly out of the smoke unharmed. 'Come on.' I thought then decided to resort to magic, as I put a hand to the ground as a spike made of stone sprung from the ground, to stab its wing. It worked, and now it was grounded. I got back on my feet, then sheathed my sword knowing magic was more effective. "Finally someone who knows how to have fun?" The demon said" as his injured wing burst into flames before it was completely healed. 'Fire huh let's try ice magic on him.' I thought as I spread out my arm the shards of ice started to form around me, then launched themselves at the demon. Many of them managed to hit but some of them melted before they could hit. When my attack was finished shards of ice stuck out of most of his body but they soon melted and he healed as if nothing happened. 'If I can't kill him I might have it capture him alive.' I thought as his and my army soon collided, and the speartons shoved their spear thought the barrier into the demons. The demons ignored me, and him as they moved around us not caring. "So 1 on 1 i thought you would call in your minions," I said. "I like a fair fight it's more fun that way." He said before charging me. I drew my sword again and deflected his attacks as best as I could but even with my time 10 strength, he was still stronger than me. "After I kill you I'll go see how the battle in Equestria went we had a few hundred with silver weapons she should be feeling like she's burning from the inside out by now." He said with a grin then I dropped my sword tightly as I heard a female voice in my head. 'RAGE activated power level 12.' Suddenly I pushed him off me. "Oh, you getting angry come on get angry." He said hopping around with a grin. 'Level raised to 17.' I lunged at the demons and swung my sword sending a large wave of energy at the demon. "You've already tried that do something new." He said as he let it hit him but this time when the smoke cleared he was bleeding badly, and laughed madly. "Better much better let's keep this going," he said while laughing while he healed. I pinned him to the ground then proceeded to punch him in the face. 'Level raised to 18.' I punched him again a crater started to form under his head. 'Level raised to 19.' His face started to heal as it burst into flames but I punched him again my fist burned but I didn't care as I punched him again. 'Level raised to 20.' My fist burned even more as I hit him again. My surroundings faded away as I just kept punching till the pain, as well faded into nothing as well until nothing mattered to me anymore as I felt power continue to course through me with every punch. All of a sudden a voice broke through the haze. "John, John please snap out of it." Suddenly my arms were restrained, so I looked to see arms wrapped around me, then I looked behind me to see Kylie with Tears in her eyes as she looked at me with a black eye. Suddenly everything started to come back into existence as I saw the battle had ended. "Kylie what happened to you?" I asked, and try to put a hand on her cheek but an immense pain ran up my arms as I saw my arms were burned from my hands to halfway up my forearms, and I could feel the broken bones in my hands. Kylie called for a medic and a whole medical corp of healers showed up and started working on me. "Please help him!" She said worriedly. Jessica walked up to Kylie before putting a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry he'll be alright with us." She told her then she healed her eye. "To answer your question John you elbowed me hard while I was trying to restrain you.." Kylie told me with no clear emotion in her voice but she had a very contemplative look on her face. "I'm so sorry it's just when he told me he sent hundreds with silver weapons after you, I got so angry that something I hadn't told you activated," I said my voice filled with regret. "Was it a skill called Blood-Lust?" She asked. "No it was a skill called rage, the angrier I got the more powerful I became, and I was overwhelmed by it," I said as I looked around to see we were sitting in a rather large crater, and the demons head looked to be smashed to pieces, but still healed extremely slowly. "Let's go home, John," Kylie said as she walked closer to the demon. Then all of a sudden the demon stood up and grabbed her by the neck. "Kylie!" I yelled while standing up, then I made a spike appear right below the demon causing it to yell and drop Kylie on her back from seven feet off the ground causing a loud *CRACK* to be heard. I ran over to her, then my soldiers tackled the demon to the ground before tying him up. "Kylie are you ok?" I asked. "I, I, I can't feel my legs." She said confusedly. The healers rushed over to help her." You're going to be ok we'll get you back to the castle so we can make everything better." I said with worry. "John what if the fall did something to our babies?" Kylie said nearly in tears. "Don't think that let's just get you home," I said before picking her up. “I can't help it, that was a hard fall that broke at least 6 vertebrae in my back and severed my spinal cord.” she cried. "Merlin!" I shouted then he appeared next to me. "Yes, sir." He said. "Can you teleport, me and Kylie to the castle?" I asked then he nodded before teleporting us to the castle in moments. {This Point Of View is under the ownership of: The Overlady Kylie} As soon as we returned to the castle I immediately called Gnarl for a medical corp of Blues and my handmaidens. When they arrived the Blues took me from John carefully and laid me on my stomach and got to work resetting my spine into place before my regeneration factor could make me unable to walk due to misaligned vertebrae. John was looking frantically in his spell books for something that could help me as they worked making me nervous that he has no faith in my Blues abilities “Johnathan Harlock you stop that right now and let my minions do their jobs!” I yelled at him. "You expect me to do nothing after you were hurt, and after what I did?" He asked. “I expect you to be a good boyfriend and have patience while the medics do their job,” I said with a surprising amount of calmness. He took a deep breath before sitting down, and I could see his arms were shaking, my only guess it wasn't completely healed yet. "I'm sorry i just can't relax right now, just everything's happening so suddenly." He said looking at his shaking hands with fear. A few minutes later the Blues were done fixing my vertebrae and putting them back into place and now it was just a waiting game till I got my mobility back. It felt like hours but was probably just a couple of minutes I regained feeling in my legs and tried to stand up but immediately fell. John saw this then ran over to me to help me up." Try to be a little more careful, I'll take you to our room so you can rest." He said. “Thanks, John I guess I'm not back at full strength yet maybe some rest would do me good,” I said feeling tired just from the walk to our room He laid me down on the bed then took off my armor leaving me naked. "Here you just sleep I'll just um go train." He said. “Oh no, you don’t you're cuddling with me while I sleep,” I said grabbing his arm. He looked at me with regret before saying. "I just want to calm myself down my generals should be back soon plus I need to check my level plus I don't think we should have special time right now, and with you, like this, I might not be able to resist." He said. I pouted. “I just wanted some comfort while I'm in pain nothing more,” I said. He blushed looking over me again then got into bed next to me before putting the blanket over both of us. “Night my love,” I said kissing him right before I fell asleep. (Demon General'sPOV) "I'm sorry my lord the armies have been defeated, and the leader of the stick people survived," I said as I kneeled with my head held low. The demon lord was silent before saying. "No matter today we have learned something of great importance, it seems your not as big of a failure as I thought." He said then I brought my head up. "What do you mean?" I asked and as his shadowy figure floated around. "You may not have opened the gates but you weakened them greatly, allowing much more powerful demons through the greater fire demon that I sent is proof of that, and now that we can send demons of his caliber, it will be simple to kill that weak fool." He said while clenching his fist. "And what of the Lycan?" I asked. "She is mine or deal with Faust gave her blood so mere demons can't kill her so we can't waste resources in her, even so, this emperor is more troublesome his army is growing rapidly, and his warriors are skilled it his he still the weak link since he is mortal, and with him gone his people will be without a leader and the Lycan will only have her small creatures at her side to protect her, and once she is cornered and I am free I will decide what to do with her, and now I will send my demon horde through no more constructs, now these mortals will feel the wrath of the true demon horde." "And what of me?" I asked then he turned to face me. "Yes, what about you the one who has failed me time and time again." He said then it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest as I fell to the ground but then it stopped. "But unlike many of my previous generals you have remained loyal to the very end, a trait very rarely seen among our kind." He said then he got on my knee beside me. "So as a reward for your loyalty you will be reborn stronger than you've ever been before." He said then pain engulfed my entire being. "But first you will have to die." {This Point Of View is brought to you by John} After Kylie went to sleep I got out of bed to see my level, I was now level 80 a huge jump, and with 420 skill points, I could get whatever I wanted from my skill shop. I looked for a bit until I saw an interesting one. magic constructs Allows the user to create constructs with magic the limits is what you can imagine the mana cost for each construct depends on size and power, but as skill increases mana cost decreases. I bought it for 20 skill points then continued to search till I found a that sounded rather familiar. Mana clone Create a clone from mana can do everything the original can and disappears when killed or dispelled once that happens all its memories return to the caster this can also be used for training to increase the level of separate skills at one or can be used in combat I bought it for 50 leaving 350 remaining. 'this is going to take a while.' I thought as I continued I had to be ready for anything ' Maybe some passive skills.' I thought as I found several that increased my combat capabilities. Instinct It allows the user to predict their opponent's next attack. psionic protection It allows the user to negate psychic attacks on their person and mind. Memory safe combat style It allows the user to store combative moves they have observed allowing the user to master them. I bought them for 50points so 300 left I then went back through the skills to try something I could use, then I found something that could be useful. power of Kings Grants the ability to wield the ring of Lucii 'Wait what that ring is in the store?' Thought then quickly look for it, and it was there then I looked back at the skill to see it cost 300. 'Well sounds fair consider what it gives me.' I thought then bought then followed by quickly buying the ring. But something happened when I bought the ring when it landed in my hand, it felt as though I was carrying a heavy burden simpler to how to notice, and Luna felt when they held it in the game. I put it on then the crystal in the ring glowed and pain engulfed me as I fell to the floor, but I held in my scream careful not to wake Kylie. I slowly managed to get to my feet, then left the room, as the pain started to fade, a small price to pace for the power the ring grants me. I quickly went over all the abilities in my head the first spell drains the life force of my enemy, then there is the holy ability that activates when I dodge lastly there is the Alterna a spell that breaks open the fabric of reality to and suck the enemies inside the crystal sphere that appears into a black hole, but this ring could also give me the ability to warp. I went outside so I could recover from my painful experience then I thought it would be best to use mana clones to train. I created 10 clones using a lot of mana to do so they wouldn't vanish early then they started doing their thing. 'Now with this, I'll be more prepared now than to interrogate my prisoner.' I thought as I headed towards the dungeon. (Time Skip morning) {This Point Of View is under the ownership of The Overlady Kylie} I woke up in a cold bed. Reaching behind me I found that John wasn't there. I got up and called for my handmaidens. “Yes, mistress. What can we do for you?” They chorused. “Yes, can you get me one of my dresses and some undergarments I need to find John,” I said smiling at them showing all of my teeth at which they smiled back and went to get me a new dress. When they returned we found a problem even with the sizing enchantment the dress didn't fit because I had started to gain a belly. “What should we do Mistress?” Three of my handmaidens chorused but Angela had a thoughtful look on her face. “What is it, Angela? You know you can speak freely with me.” I said with a kind of a smile as I could in my Lycan form. “What if we sent for Snips to make something special for you that would stretch while your belly stretched? That way we won't run into this problem again in the coming days.” to say that my smile was from ear to ear wouldn’t be an exaggeration. “Ah, Mistress what can Snips do for you today? Do you need another new dress to entice the future mate?” he asked as he walked into the room. “Not exactly. I need a dress that will stretch as my belly gets bigger throughout my pregnancy.” I told the tailor minion. “Ah yes I already made something for this." He said pulling a black dress with an exposed belly out of nowhere. I tried it on with the help of my handmaidens and I couldn't help but squee. “*SQUEE* Its perfect Snips and the open belly gives me room to grow out,” I said hugging him to my chest and jumping up and down. “Mistress can't breathe.” Snips said as I looked down and he looked more like a Blue than a Green. Seeing this I let him go and apologized. “Snips sorry again. Ladies attend me we are going to find John!” I ordered as I started loping out of the room followed closely by my handmaidens floating after me only to bump into someone right outside my room it was Kefla. “I'm sorry Kefla I was in a hurry and wasn’t looking where I was going.” "No worry where are you going anyway?" She asked me as she recovered, then dusted herself off. “To find John he wasn't in bed with me when I woke up so I decided to go look for him,” I replied. "He's in the dungeon interrogating the demon." She told me. “Well, maybe I should just wait until he comes back up,” I said "And he's been down there all night." She added. “Oh well someone needs to go get him.” "I'll take you down there, but I saw something strange, when he went down there, he wore a strange ring?" She said as she started walking. Knowing what I did about him and he only wore functional jewelry I decided to probe Kefla for more information. “What did the ring look like?” I asked. "It was mostly black and but it also has a copper rim but it was too far away to pick out the finer details." She said. “Did you see a diamond on it?” I asked, then she nodded her head. Panicked I started running towards where his scent was strongest but then all of a sudden his scent stopped. "Why are you running?" Kefla asked me as she caught up. “Because that ring has a sacrifice clause attached to it!” I said in a panic starting to hyperventilate. "I'm sure he knows about this, and has prepared but let's hurry to be sure." She said as she ran in front of me till we reached the dungeon, then screaming could be heard but it wasn't Johns. I ran towards the screaming and saw John using the life drain ability on the demon. "For the last time tell me what you know!" John yelled as he used it again as the glowing cracks spread across his arm but when he stopped they slowly healed and when I looked at the demon he looks like he was nothing but skin and bone nothing like it was in the game. “John you’re killing the demon you have to stop before you are no better than them,” I said trying to get him to stop before it was too late. He looked at me for a moment before turning back to the demon, and after taking a deep breath he sat down on a vacant chair as his arm healed. "He refuses to talk." He simply said. “John let me take a crack at him I have a feeling that I can get him to crack,” I said with a menacing smile. "You won't break me." The demon struggled to say. “Really because I have a group of minions that specialize in torture and information gathering.” I threatened and yet the demon just glared at me and said nothing. “Angela come in here and bring the others in with you!” I ordered harshly. All four of them rushed into the cell and lined up with Angela right next to me. “What are your orders Mistress?” They all chorused. “Find out what this demon knows but don't kill it. Report whatever you find directly to either me or John no one else!” I ordered then grabbed John by the hand and led him out of the cell and back towards the main floor of the castle. We were almost there when the screaming started. “PLEASE! STOP! NO MORE! I CAN'T TELL YOU!” The demon screamed. "So I got a few new skills while you were asleep," John told me. “Oh, what are they other than the Ring of Lucii? Which by the way i think is too dangerous to use.” "Magic constructs, Mana clone, instinct, psionic protection. Memory safe combat style and the one that allows me to use the ring is power of Kings, and while it is dangerous the power it offers is undeniable." He told me. “I don't want you using that power until we can be sure it won't kill you. I don't want you dying and leaving our pups without a father.” I said starting to cry. He put a hand on my cheek and looked me straight in the eye with tears in his eyes as well. "I know you're worried about me and the pups, but I'm trying to make a world where they can live in peace, and you might hate me for saying this but if I have to sacrifice myself to ensure that my beautiful wife and children can have a good life then I will, your immortal Kylie I'm not someday I will grow old and die and leave you alone, but I want to make sure you are happy even after I'm gone." He said then kissed my forehead before taking his hands off my cheek. Reeling back I slapped him so hard that I wouldn't doubt the sound was heard throughout the whole city. With tears welling up anew in my eyes. “You idiot!” I screamed and ran off away from him. {This Point Of View is brought to you by John} After Kylie ran off I was overwhelmed with guilt, but I had told her the truth, and when I wanted to go after her my legs froze. I decided to go outside to clear my head but even then guilt still raged through my mind as I sat on a tall wall with my legs over the side, then I started to get tired from staying up all night. I rubbed my eyes then looked at my room's window to see Kylie’s figure in it. 'Maybe I shouldn't have said that even if it was the truth.' I thought as I looked back at the ground, and at my ring, I could hear faint whispers in my mind ever since I put it on but I mostly ignored them until now. They were too faint to make out but they were still there, and I regretted ever buy it so I tried to take it off only to see it was somehow permanent. I was too tired to care about that, as I closed my eyes to try to take a quick nap. {This Point Of View is under the ownership of The Overlady Kylie} I ran and ran and ran until I got back to our room then I flung myself on the bed and continued to cry. After I finished crying I got pissed at John for how inconsiderate he was then I started to berate my unborn children for their father’s actions then I went back to crying because I saw that I was being irrational. I walked over to the window and looked out over the city seeing how beautiful it was in the light of day. Looking out to the walls I could just barely see a figure sitting down on the wall. ‘I wonder if that’s John?’ I thought. I looked down at him with regret before thinking ‘I should go down there.’ I did just that and a few minutes later I was standing right below him. “HEY JOHN!” I yelled up to him. He didn’t respond so I climbed up to see him sleeping soundly but the tear trails along his face were obvious to anyone that took a close look. Seeing this I just picked him up and jumped down making a crater where I landed. I then proceeded to carry him to our room and place him on the bed then I got in next to him and just laid there enjoying his company even if he was sleeping, and just before I closed my eyes his arms wrapped themselves around me, and I heard him mutter. "I'm sorry." “All’s forgiven, my prince,” I said Author's Note as always please leave a like or dislike and comment on the story. I would especially want to know how I can make the story better.
We Can't go Homewe cant go home {This Point of View is now under the ownership of: Kylie} Johnathan and I were on our way to RTX to do some cosplaying, buy some merch and maybe win some prizes at the costume contest except John couldn't decide what to cosplay as. "So is that game any good?" I asked John, he was playing his new favorite game on his phone, stick war legacy, he got all the skins through hard work and time. "It's good it helps me pass the time." He told me as he looked up from his phone. "Hey let's split up, look around and meet up in an hour at the costume contest." I offered "Sure just don't get lost." He told me as he walked in a random direction. I walked down the path I choose and looked at each Stall carefully and then I saw the creepy mask salesman from Majora's Mask selling stuff for my costume and other things. “Oh! Why hello there fine future patron, could I perhaps interest you in my wares?” I swallowed my heebie-jeebies and walked up to him. "Why yes, I would." I looked at his wares and saw everything that I needed to complete my costume along with the best armor and helmet in the game. “Could I have The Reaper, The Apocalyptor, The Evil Eye, The female Infernal Armor, the Brown Hive that ghost and do you have any replica spell totems?" I asked hopefully. “Why yes I do! I have all the fire, shield and Corruption spell totems from the first, and of course all the second game spells too, wouldn’t help an aspiring Lycan Overlord to be underprepared now, would it and have a few Dark crystals on the house?” he said, his creepy smile never fading. "YES!!!! Ok so how far back is all of this gonna set me?" I asked pulling my wallet out of my armor. “I’m feeling in a pleasant mood, so I’ll settle for $550, and I’ll throw in this nifty Gnarl Figurine for free, what do you say?” "You have yourself a deal but I have one question why do you only have the Brown Hive?" I asked as I handed him the cash and put on The Evil Eye. “Oh that’s quite easy, dear Overlord.” his grin gained a sinister tinge to it. “I left the other hives scattered about where you’re going.” He said and then I felt weightless as I fell through the floor. {This Point Of View was brought to you by: John} I was walking down a path that was filled with stall but I wasn't looking to buy anything, so I just played my game. "II wonder if she found what she was looking for." I said to myself as I finished a battle on my game. "Hello young man care to take a look at what I have to offer." I heard and turned to see a shady Resident evil 4 merchant. "Sure." I said and looked at him wares. "Do you have anything else these don't interest me much." I said and he reached in a bag and pulled out a crown and cape and I set my phone on the stalle. "What you playing there?" He asked. "Stick war legacy, it's a fun game I found." I said and he scratched his chin and smiled. "Well why don't you try them on?" He said and I shrugged and put them on, they fit nicely. "Nice, it looks good, maybe I should cosplay as a king." I said and twirled. "Even better, an emperor!" He said and suddenly I fell into a dark place and then everything brightened as I hit the ground. "What happened." I said and rubbed my head, then I noticed my arm was completely black, and so was the rest of my body, I saw a small lake and I looked into it. I was a stick man with a crown and a cape and a letter attached to the top of my crown. I pulled it off and began to read. if you are reading this you are still alive and in a different world as a stick man right now. You are level one but i already made an army for you of the stick men from your game, they will arrive shortly, This world is vastly different then your own, where magic is real and you have access to a shop to get skills and structures, when one of your units defeats a foe you get 1 tenth of what they get and they have added effects but so sorry but I can't go into any more detail, good luck! I ripped up the paper and tossed it and I could hear several loud sounds behind me and I turned around to see my army and their were of all the skins except the classic and they all knelt. 'Ok then so how do I open this shop.' I Thought, and then suddenly a screen opened in front of my eyes. It was split into two columns, skills cost upgrade points that I get from leveling up and winning fights or battles, and the other column was structures and what looked like weapons and books. Seems the merchant left that out, the structures are bought with gold, but at the top there was a city that said ‘1 time offer free’ which I bought right away. "So how do I make them." I said and six rows appeared at the bottom of my view, the rows showed all of my available units in their different skins and their respective mana costs leaf was cheaper than the others and at the top left I could see my mana I had 200 mana right now and so I only has enough mana to make one miner or swordwrath before I had to wait for it to recharge the cost was just as much as the game. After making a leaf miner I felt tired and I selected the city and said. "Well it's time I see my new home." {This Point of View is now under the ownership of: Kylie} I began to awake slowly in darkness, as the sounds of stones being moved assailed my ears. “He’s over here! Hurry it up!” a muffled voice came as I realized in my hazy vision the rocks being relocated were on top of me and I was being dug out. “Wakey wakey, new master.” the now clearer voice of Gnarl called sinisterly. "Oh, me bleeding 'ead. What did I drink last night to give me such a stingin’ headache?" “Hmm… Giblet, go and rub some acid in his eyes, that’ll freshen him up.” Those words set off my self-preservation instincts as I heard his plan clear as day. "Oi none of that now I'm awake I'm awake!" I yelled as I shot up out of the hole in the ground. “Ah, welcome back to the land of the living Mast-oh, forgive me, Mistress, your armor might require some refitting… it wasn’t built for your… figure.” "Guardian Kylie, Guardian Kylie, oh Kylie I found you, finally!" “Ragh! Weird metal thing! Go smash!” one of the browns yelled angrily, chasing the Ghost around with its club. Remembering that I have the power to stop minions from doing things I tried to stop the Brown from attacking what I assume is the Ghost I bought. "STOP!" Thankfully their loyalty to their new Overlady is already set, and the brown begrudgingly stops it assault. “Mistress, while I do find your commanding presence to be a good sign for your candidacy, I don’t find it too appealing to find you showing mercy to this… metal fairy.” Gnarl commented. "You stupid walnut that's my companion Ghost Artemis. She is not to be touched by any of you is that understood." I commanded. “Understood, but with all due respect, Mistress, I have heard of beings that have taken non-humanoid fairy-like creatures as companions… they tend to be very annoying.” "What do you mean they tend to be annoying?" I asked. “Many beings, typically heroes, had a fairy companion to act as a guide and navigator, although in the tales of such, the fairy in question is more of an annoyance, trying to constantly get their master’s attention and pointing out information that in truth is of no use to them, unless this… thing, has some special purpose I am not aware of, I don’t see why you would keep it around… unless you decide to get bored of hitting the jester.” "First of all, it's she, second of all, she can carry things in a subspace pocket dimension, and third of all, I would never get tired of hitting the jester." I said. “True, his face is very punchable, and I guess having a mobile chest is useful, and would allow you to retain items you would normally lose if you fell in battle! Quite cunning Mistress, I knew it was right to trust that Void-walker to find our new Overlord-sorry, Lady, and a new world of good in which to conquer!” Gnarl declared proudly. "Well about that.…" I said {One month later his Point of view is brought to you by John} After placing the city we had a huge problem, turns out I placed the city on a giant hive of giant scorpions, but after clearing them out I gained a lot of levels and a new development occurred. The stickmen I was given are making their own community and are falling in love. The difference between the male and female stick men were that the females had hair and they give birth fast. There has already been 23 births this week alone, not to mention the resulting young are growing fast and were learning quickly, along with the adults discovering to talents as well. The Magikill had more spells and their different skin counterparts began to diverge into entirely different schools. Leaf were able to control plants and make fertile land to grow crops. Lava could shoot fireballs and summon magma from the earth, Ice could shoot ice spikes and chill the very air, savages could create undead of their own but unlike the normal demonic minions they need bodies to raise them, and finally Vamp could drain the life from living things. Along with the Magikill’s new spell roster, the ice and lava units had immunity to their respective elements, and in light of their newly growing community, some of the miners had taken up farming. I had been neglecting the store ever since I arrived, so I thought it was time to see my level see what I could get. Right now I was level 25, so I had 75 upgrade points and my mana reached 20,100 it increased by 100 every level but after ten it doubled. "Ok let's see what skills I can get." I said as I sat on my throne, I was an emperor here and no one disobeyed me, but I was fair and just with my orders and my laws making sure everyone was happy living here. OI looked through the skill category and saw two familiar things it was the melee and ranged giant from the first and second game but the melee also had other skins. They both cost 20 skill points each, so I decided to buy them, the two joining the rows at the bottom of my view soon after I made the purchase. So now I had 35 skill points and so I looked for magic, from what I saw there were several different paths of magic, but to learn spells more easily I would need to buy the book that went with the skills, but I was getting quite wealthy after clearing the nest I discovered veins of gold and other ores everywhere so I had that covered. "Lets see... let’s buy buy fire magic." I said and then another screen popped up and it showed several different colors. Chose a color for your fire It said above them, I chose blue because I thought it would look cool and I bought a book l Skills Fire Magic level 1 'A skill tree, that is useful.' I thought as I looked at the info on it, with every level my fire magic or any other skill would become stronger, and when it maxes the mp cost halfs. It cost 5 points and then I got mana recovery, which allowed me to recover mana faster in and outside of combat while also giving me a resistance to magic exhaustion, and it could level up as well. I was left with 20 points and I searched through the shop and found two attacks slash attack and unique stick creation. slash attack Color of attack may vary, a ranged attack that can only be used with swords or blade type weapons, it sends a slash that multiplies the swords attack by 1.5 and will increase as the skill levels up cost 50 mp to use. Unique stick creation Allows the caster to create a unique stickman or women that will level up like the caster and can acquire new skills, but it starts out 10 levels lower than the caster and can start out with one unique skill and can not level up past casters level. Mana cost 10,000. I bought both of them and now I was out of upgrade points, the second skill could not level up and I started using it, and in response a screen popped up It asked male or female and I shrugged and chose female and it changed and showed me a stick person, she was black like me and everyone else. Looking around the screen I found three extra boxes. Hair available Wings unavailable Eyes unavailable I selected the hair and it showed me several different and unique styles. I chose the one with long hair it draped over her shoulders and down her back her hair it went down her shoulder and went half way down her back and now it told me to choose a color and I chose bright red, now it told me to choose a class from the unit types I currently have and so I chose spearton. Now it told me to type a unique skill. I gave her the ability to switch armor between all the skins so she could use all the effects each gave her, now it told me to choose aspects of her personality to which I chose devotion, loyalty, protective and lastly honourable. And now I was done and half of my mana was used and she appeared in front of my she was currently in the vamp armor and the red hair added to her look. She took a knee and said. "What would you have of me my emperor."she said. "Your name is Kefla and you are now my general, rise and take your place beside me.” I said as she stood up and walked up beside me. Now that I had an empire, I was now ready to expand my territory. I had not encountered any intelligent life yet and I was already expanding, but it was slow, though now I can expand faster. there was now statues of me in the shop and I could use them to place structures or make units so I had them transported to several locations so I could place villages and outposts for defense, and next I put dozens of units in each one. Now hopefully the near future is peaceful, I stood up from my throne and walked outside with my new general so I could train her while leveling up my new skills. Later I opened the shop and found the best sword I could find! For some reason there were only two weapons that were locked and said level requirement level 100 and one black outline around it while the other had a gold outline. I found the best sword I could find and looked at its information Sword of ascension Attack 500 Special effects: doubles exp received, ignores 50% defense of armor After buying a screen that looked like an inventory appeared showing my sword and I reached in and pulled it out and now it was time to train. {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady} Suffice it to say the Shriveled Walnut didn't take the idea of not being conquerors very well. He didn't talk to me except when he had to for a week then he got over it. We started looking for the hives soon after and a week later we had found the first one, the Blues but there was a problem. "Ah, The Blue Hive, now Mistress, you should know that the Blues are healers, not fighters, they can bring back dead minions if they’ve only recently died and traverse water, but the only time you should send them to attack is if the target is purely magical." Gnarl told me. "I'm with you so far. So what's the problem?" I asked. “It appears some powerful creatures have taken an interest in the hive, and they overflow with good energy to the point where it floods! Thankfully the power of good only allows itself to infest willing creatures or the blue minions might’ve turned all goody goody.” "WHAT KIND OF CREATURES WOULD DARE TO TAKE MY HIVE!" I yelled angrily. “They don’t seem to be taking anything, merely observing, Mistress. These creatures are quite the curious sort, yet very cautious and skeptical, it’d be wise not to provoke them at your level, Mistress.” "I have all the spell stones and the most powerful ax I can make. Plus I have an unlimited supply of Browns with the best armor and weapons. Why not just go in and take it?" I asked quizzically. “Because these are not heroes, Mistress, these are beings that tend to make and bless heroes, one goddess was bad enough with its choking light, now we have to deal with two of them, with actual physical bodies to attack with… besides the last time, a Brown attacked something with wings and a horn it ended up exploding violently.” "Wait are you telling me one of My Browns went out and attacked one of them?" “We may have arrived much earlier than you, Mistress, and of course we made scouting parties to better assist, one discovered one much older than these two, who tried to force feed a large amount of good magic into the brown and… boom.” "Did that one have a pure white body and red mane and tail?" “You’ve heard of such a creature before?” "Oh sh iit, Oh shit, this is not good! That Brown attacked an alicorn and not just any alicorn but the alicorn of Knowledge, mother of Celestia and Luna, bringer of pain to evil, Faust!" I exclaimed. “That seems rather risky.” "NO SHIT SHERLOCK!" I yelled. "We are in what should be the Badlands, but since it's not that means either we have a Flutter Valley scenario or a big fight with evil coming in the future." “Excuse me, Mistress, I am confused… Flutter Valley?” "A valley of pure ponies called flutter ponies and a Flutter Valley scenario is a huge catastrophe that transforms the valley and its inhabitants." I explained. The old and grey imp of an advisor stroked his beard and then simply shrugged. “While I enjoy the destruction of a race of innocent butterfly beasts as much as the next evil creature, I find it prudent to scope out and find this great evil, an Overlady can’t allow rivals to fester… unless they’re festering as a corpse.” "I believe we should focus on now, I will try to talk to the sisters and retrieve the hive." “Are you… certain, that is wise? I’d find it hard to believe they will… react positively to you.” "I believe that if I show up unarmed and in a dress we would get the best reaction to our situation." “Well we only have spare dresses designed for… Mistresses of an Overlord, so they would certainly have some reaction.” Gnarl said and he held up a dress that left barely anything to the imagination. "I guess I could wear that even though it's kinda skimpy." I said leaving for my chambers to put the dress on. I get the dress barely on when a Brown came rushing in. "Well, what is it?" “Scary pony on ground! Scary pony on ground!” it then blinked as it took in the immediate sight of me. “Oooooooooohhh…” and then it flopped forward, the little soul icon appearing in my vision. "GNARL CLEAN UP, MY ROOM!" I yelled mischievously. Disgruntled, the old creature stumbled into the room, spotting the minion. “Oh great, what went and killed this one Mis…” then he spotted me, going silent. *plap* "Ahh hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! oh man that's priceless. I should probably cover up more though so I don't kill all my minions." I said resolutely. Putting on a shawl I called for a minion. When it arrived it looked at me and didn't keel over so that is a good sign. It then noticed Gnarl’s ever-burning lantern. “Ooh! The super-shiny is mine!” it declared as it put on the lantern and cloak, before suddenly shaking violently, then looking at me with a scowl. “I didn’t particularly appreciate the heart-attack Mistress, I may be a soul in a lantern, but having my current body die is still painful.” "I apologize Gnarl I had no idea it would kill the strongest Brown I have. I just thought it would cause you to be speechless." “Correction, I was the oldest Brown, though I’d appreciate it if you didn’t lump me in with the others, I didn’t give up my human body for immortality, just to be known as just another minion.” "Gnarl, I don't see you as just another minion you are special and you are an irreplaceable advisor even though you change bodies you still are the same Gnarl." I placated. “Thank you, Mistress… you may want to see Snips, while we haven’t acquired the Green Hive, we thankfully managed to recover him, he should be able to make your attire less… killer, after all, he is our greatest blind tailor.” "I think I will, I find his work to be of the highest quality and I can't kill him with my body so that's a plus." I said heading down to Snips' workshop. "Hey Snips, I have a task for you!" “Yes Mistress! What is problem!?” "I need you to make this dress less minion-killer and more royalty-meeting quality. Do you think you can do that?" I asked hopefully. “...Snips thought that was same thing.” Suffice it to say a whole planet of pans died screaming. “Okay! Okay! Can feel judging glare of mistress from here, come closer and will start work on new dress.” "Thank you Snips, " I said as I took the dress off and proceeded to walk in just a shawl over to him. "here is the dress I want altered!" I said, handing it to the Green. “No no no! Dress not enough! This new body, need to measure for dressing, like mistresses before!” Now I'm a bit self-conscious about my body but I knew it needed to be done so I walked closer so he could do just that. “Now, remember, me blind! So no slapping!” "I promise, as long as the touches are brief and not probing anything they shouldn't." I warned. “Snips is professional!!” he said, suddenly grasping my tits as he began his hand-based measurements. It took considerably less time than I expected for him to be finished 'measuring' me and he soon was working at an extremely fast pace for a blind person. “Aha! Found problem! Not just bad dress size, proportions all wrong, Mistress kept showing too much nipple by accident!” "So what your saying is I was showing nipple and that was why I killed two minions." “Of course! You present attire which expose you! Extremely enticing, made stupid minion brain think you want mate, put all blood in wrong place!” "Can we focus on the dress now please?" I pleaded. “Already done!” he handed me a new dress, one with a rather elegant design. “Combat dress, made with new silk from weird rat-sized spiders, blocks swords, spears and some magic while staying… tasteful.” After putting it on and feeling how soft it felt I just had to give Snips a hug "I love it, I love it, I love it, it's perfect for meeting with the Princesses of Equestria, thank you Snips." I said while squeeing in his ear. “GAH! SNIPS ALREADY BLIND! DON’T MAKE SNIPS DEAF TOO!” "Sorry, Snips I got overexcited." I apologized. “Just go out, show off Snips’ work and make other ladies feel inadequate, that good enough payment for Snips.” "Deal." I said as I was walking out of the room back towards where I left Gnarl. “Ah, Mistress, a far more graceful design, thankfully the minions have just finished building a portal at the Blue Hive’s location, you may use the Tower Pool to teleport there now, coincidentally, the portal’s location also coincides with where that brown discovered the dangerous minion-exploding psychopath dying in the middle of the road.” "WHAT! FAUST IS INJURED HOW FAR FROM THE PORTAL?" I yelled running towards the throne room by way of the Armory to grab The Reaper. As I got to the pool, I saw the image of the land the portal opens up at… and I saw Faust on the side of the road… weak… wounded. I jumped through the pool and arrived seconds later after passing through a colorful void. I ran up to Faust and knelt down next to her. "Lady Faust can you stand?" I asked. She opened her eyes at my voice and was startled by what she saw. "My Gods, the Kindness in your stance speaks that you care for every creature you see, the Loyalty in your heart beats a steady rhythm of a drum pushing on your comrades, the Determination in your eyes is like a fire burning brightly on a cold winter's night. I have not seen such in many many years, not since Solaris ascended to the heavens." She said. I blushed in embarrassment and said. "Thank you." I said then remembered her condition and tried to help her up. It was pointless though because as soon as she was on her hooves she collapsed again. "I am not long for this world and I have but one request." She said "What is it if it's within my power I will do it?" I asked. "I don't have much time to explain, but my daughters need protection, but for you to have that ability I must give you the greatest gift and curse I can give, immortality." She begged and I slowly nodded. To say she was surprised would be an understatement. "Why did you accept so readily my request?" Faust asked. "Because I can see the love you carry for this world and the people you want to protect." I said while smiling causing her to smile also. "To do this is to shun the afterlife, to do this is to ascend to goddesshood, and to do this is to watch those around you die. Can you withstand the test of time and sorrow or will you crumble like so many before you?" "I will stand my ground." I said. "Then come here and receive the mark of my family and the beginning of eternity. As I stood there with the tip of her horn over my heart I started to notice a burning sensation on the front of my shoulder. I kept still until the sensation got too much for me and I had to cry out in pain. I put my hand on my shoulder and looked and I saw a strange mark on my shoulder I looked at Faust and asked. "What is this mark?" "That marks you as part of the royal family and as a goddess. If my daughters were to see that mark they would know you are friend and kin." She replied in a motherly tone that then turned deathly serious. "You may now be immortal but that doesn't mean you can't die. They exists a metal called Orichalcum or the 'god slayer' metal that will temporarily strip you of your immortality magics and leave you able to be killed." "Thank you for telling me and can I ask will the princesses think of me was an enemy because they have something of mine that I need to get back?" I asked. "And pray tell what could your sisters have that you would think them wanting to fight you over it?" She asked. "Because it has something to do with dark magics." I told her. "Ha, ha, ha, you think dark magics are evil. No no they may corrupt the weak minded but I can tell you are strong of…*COUGH* heart and mind." "Ok." I said and I held her hand. "My last advice is a prophecy I had not a month ago and a warning: A sorceress Marked A stickman found Two evils not And love abounds Fears are misplaced Two turned to stone To see a new face and a grand new land to roam But subjects without Lady or Lord, They will thankfully sleep. Until the day a new force, Sows chaos, they must reap. You now see the path before you, A message for future times. And know this vision is true, For this vision speaks in rhymes. "The warning is watch out for sun cultists." Is the last thing she said before she starts to glow and lift off the ground. All of a sudden she turns into a ball of light and shoots into the sky leaving behind a pile of life force of different colors and I absorbed all of them. “Quite curious to find a god willing to give such power to something so dark.” Gnarl said in my head. "Shut up walnut brain! This was a huge honor so don't kill my buzz." I said telepathically. "So thoughts?" “Well it certainly is confusing, but like with many things, the pieces will make themselves obvious with time.” "Ok. Oh and Gnarl send some Browns to get all this life force." I said back to him in my head. After my convo with Gnarl I headed towards the last known location of the Hive near a small town north of the portal. As I came upon the site I heard two voices talking that I recognized as Celestia and Luna. "What do you think we should do with it sister?" Celestia asked Luna gesturing to the hive. "It doth radiate evil energies I say we destroy it." Luna replied as I came into the clearing, Celestia stood at 7 foot, her fur was snow white as well as her dress that had a slit that went up to her thigh, on her hips she wore a belt that was decorated by several gold accessories, and a gold crown on her head that drew attention to her rainbow hair that flowed in the wind, I also noticed she had a golden necklace that went over her fairly large breasts. Luna on the other hand was six foot five her fur was a lovely blue, and her hair was like a starry sky, and she wore a sexy two-piece dress that didn't leave much to the imagination. "I would appreciate it if you didn't do that. I need that hive." I said nervously rubbing the back of my neck. "Who are you?" Celestia asked taking a defensive stance. I raised my hands in a 'I'm not a threat way' and said, "I come in peace, and I am friend and kin." I showed them my mark causing a sense of calm and somberness to fall over the clearing. "Was she in pain?" Luna asked. "Not that I knew of sister but I was too late to catch her attacker(s)" I said. "What do you want with this thing?" Celestia asked. "It brings life to creatures called minions, it is one of four hives. This is the Blue Hive, it begets Blue minions, they are healers." I said. Celestia sighed and said. "If you want it, take it we have more important matters to deal with." Celestia said as she looked at the ground and tears formed in her eyes. I walked up to her and gave her a hug and patted her back while sending a mental command to some Browns that were nearby. "I have some Brown minions coming to get it. Would you like some tea and cake?" "No now is not the time for that." She said. Remembering her warning I decided to share it with my sisters. "Before she ascended to the heavens she told me a prophecy and gave me a warning. The warning was 'watch out for sun cultists'." "Yes, they have been a problem and have made several attempts to kill Luna." Celestia said and that made my blood boil. "I make you this promise, as long as I can, I will protect you both with mine and my minions lives." I pledged. She smiled and said." Thank you but we must go now." Celestia said as she and Luna walked away and got into a chariot and me and the minions when back to the tower with the Blue Hive and the life force.
Facing a New Enemy and a ReunionFacing a new enemy and a reunion {2 days later, This point of view is brought to you by: john} I made a discovery, I don't need to buy skills from the store, I can learn them by doing the actions. I figured it out when I was practicing with my sword and I got the swordsmanship skill and I managed to get Ice/water magic from the ice Magikills after I got them to teach me and I was now trying to learn earth magic from the leaf. "So how do I start?" I asked and the rock floated above one of their hands. "Earth is simple to understand but can be difficult to do." He said and then continued. "To use earth magic your will must be strong and then you can use your will to control the earth beneath you each of us has our way of doing it but you must find yours on your own." He said and I nodded. "Thank you for explaining I will try it later tonight but now there's much to do my leaf scouts have felt a disturbance," I said and he walked away the leaf units were in touch with nature and could feel when something was wrong and yesterday they felt a great change in the world. After returning to the throne room I found Kefla waiting by my throne. "My liege we have received reports you might want to look over." She said handing me a scroll and I unrolled it the leaf units at the edge of my expanding territory were sensing danger and the statues were now in place. "Send word I want Magikills to create minions to patrol the edge of the border 60 in each patrol that should be about 12 Magikills and they are to be heavily guarded," I said and she wrote it down. During my time training, I also leveled up and created Giants though the melee giants did not carry around those dead bodies when they were created so they only wielded clubs, and I bought healers and I will save up my other skill points for another time. I opened my skill tree Fire magic level 2 Slash attack level 3 Unique stickman creation Ice/water magic level 2 Swordsmanship level 2 Mp recovery level 5 'I have been getting the level up faster than I thought.' I said in my head and a leaf spearton rushed in and collapsed on the floor and I rushed to him. "What happened?" I asked and he handed me a scroll. "Something is coming and it is headed here." He said tapping the scroll and he passed out from exhaustion. "Take him to a comfy room I need to gather the army we might be at war," I told Kefla and she lifted him and carried him away. I opened the scroll and I found a map on the edge there was a massive flower drawn on it with arrows pointing at it and I ran out of the castle and yelled. "All troops take up arms we are moving out be ready for battle!" I yelled and I could hear sounds coming from the city and Kefla caught up to me and we ran out of the city and all of the soldiers were already gathered. "We have received a scroll that a possible threat is heading to a location near our border we are going to march there and see what is happening it is only a days march and we will gather our forces along the way," I said and they stood at attention. "You can take it from here Kefla," I said and she yelled. "Forward March." She yelled and they started moving towards what could be war, I started creating Magikills and giants, I had already made a few battle plans in case a war broke out and I had a little surprise, but they would arrive after the battle started. {After sunset} We set up camp for the night and we gathered more troops along the way, but there weren't many towns or forts along the path and we took only what they could spare, now it was time to learn Earth magic before I tried to fall asleep. I sat on the ground, crossed my legs and put my hand on the ground. 'So I must have a strong will to move the earth beneath me.' I thought and closed my eyes. I took slow deep breaths and relaxed and then I could feel something. I reached out for it and everything became clear I could feel the ground around me the trees of the forest and everything that lived in them. I took my hand off the ground and I heard a beep and I looked at the skill tree, earth magic was added but it was level 1, so in response, I bought a book on earth magic. It was pretty simple, like the other books, but it might be because I haven't leveled them up enough to get to the complex spells. The first earth spell was earth spike which makes a spike burst from the ground and strikes the intended target. I closed the book and said. "Well I should go to sleep now there is no telling what could happen tomorrow," I said and laid down and when it was the morning we marched towards our destination. {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady} (Two days earlier) "I'M SO BORED!" I said sitting on my throne then Gnarl walked up to my side. "Mistress why don't you test out your domination powers on these ugh flutter ponies." He said with disgust, and almost throwing up before he said Flutter ponies. “What I'm worried about is that time of the month starts in two nights and I don't want to be around innocents when it happens,” I told him. "Mistress your the overlord of all evil, why wouldn't you want to transform into a monster and slaughter all the innocent creatures in the world?" Gnarl asked me. “Because shit for brains I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYONE,” I yelled angrily growing fur and claws. "Ok then," Gnarl said as he started walking away backward. “OK, OK, I’LL SHOW YOU OK!” I said getting more and more bestial as the seconds passed. "Mistress I think you should calm down you might start killing your minions, and if memory serves we don't have an infinite amount of them because we have the life force of that one pony." Gnarl reasoned causing me to start to calm down. “I’m calm enough to know I only need to throttle you to calm down,” I said taking a step towards him. "Why not take your anger out on the jester, like you said before you never get tired of hitting him," Gnarl suggested. “BECAUSE THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!” I screamed as I started chasing him through the castle. After an hour a minion ran up to me just as I was about to catch him. "Mistress mistress, monsters attacking pretty ponies." He said urgently. "Gather 360 browns, my 40 Lycan browns, 400 blues, my Elites, my ax and armor, then meet me at the front gate." (Present) It had been 2 days since I learned of the monsters attack, it's evening now and we had been marching towards flutter valley it was a forest that consisted of giant plants that we're made into homes, and at the center a giant flower that reached high in the sky, but that was when I noticed the smoke and saw the flower was very slowly wilting. "Scout Scamp what and where did you see these monsters exactly?" I asked. "Down there mistress big 4 armed monster leading smaller black monsters at bottom of big flower." Scamp said pointing towards the flower. "Alrighty then, let's get this show on the road. Blues hang back until your needed, Elites and Browns follow me." I said in a commanding voice as I started for the flower. Once we got there, I saw what could only be a demon that was eight feet tall leading 6-foot tall soldiers wielding scimitars. "Gather up those ponies they will serve as gifts to the demon lord." He shouted at them. Upon hearing this I looked up and saw that the cloud cover was just beginning to break and the light of the first night of the full moon was starting to shine through causing me and my elites to change. To say that the pain was excruciating wouldn't even be the half of it. The pain reminded me of last month when I first changed. (One month to the night ago) I was suddenly woken up from my sleep by a throbbing pain in my chest that slowly grew, then I saw a note in my lap. Hey Kylie I know it's been tough the past couple of days but...it's gonna get worse because you're going through your first change and you have no control over it. The reason being tonight is a full moon and I know you're thinking 'that's not a problem for my OC.' Well you see I had to give you that weakness to keep my bosses happy. So...sorry but I was able to make it so you don't destroy whatever you're wearing your clothes and armor will shift with you both ways. (Present) "Ah the good old merchant always tossing ya a curveball but making it up to ya somehow," I growled as the skeletomuscular changes finished and the organ shifting began. Imagine someone taking your organs and putting them in a meat grinder that's kind of what it felt like to have all my organs find a new home inside me. Next, my teeth fell out making way for Lycan teeth and my fingers became clawed and my toes gained a more lupine look. Looking myself over I saw how badass my armor looked with the shoulder spikes and the extended metal claws. (A.N this but with an enclosed chest plate.) Embedding The Reaper in a nearby tree I filled my lungs with as much air as I could and let loose a mighty roar alongside my Lycan Browns. "OWWOOOO." {This Point Of View is brought to you by: John} I woke up to a sudden roar in the distance then Kefla ran up to me. "That roaring is coming from our destination shall we get moving?" She asked me as I got up, and dusted myself off. "Yes, we should move with haste to get there in time," I told her before we went to gather the troops. {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady (Kylie)} "Kill the Demons but spare the people!" I ordered my Elites and Lycan. "OWWOOO FOR THE OVERLADY!" My Elites and Lycan Browns screamed as they charged into battle, then I lunged at the demon but to her then he lifted his shield, but my claws passed through with ease, but I missed his arm. "What do we have here a few little puppies run away from home." He said mockingly, as he pushed his shield forward to slide me off. "GRRRRRRRR! I will slice you to ribbons for that remark." I growled as I dug my claws back into his shield and pulling down until I felt flesh part beneath them. The shield fell off, and he screamed as he looked at his stub of an arm. "Can I give you a hand with that!" I said mockingly but then his screaming soon turned into laughter as he reached down to pick up his cut off arm, then put it on his stub, a kind of steam come off it then he took his hand on to show it was reattached. "I don't need one I have 4." He said as he now held up his sword with two hands. "Whatever you've got a reattachment factor big deal but I bet you don't have a regeneration factor," I said smugly as I ran over and sliced him across the left side of his head cutting off the horns there along with puncturing the three eyes on that side most likely leaving a large scar on his face. "You bitch!" He shouted then swung his sword, and it dug deep into my side causing me to howl out and a squad of my Elites to run to my side. "PROTECT THE OVERLADY!" The commander said. But then everyone stopped as horns could be heard in the distance, and as the sun started to rise as figures marched over the hills, but I was the only one that saw a small unit break away from the main force. "Great more nuisances." He said, as he pulled his sword from my side and turned to confront this new army. As he walks away the commander of the squad that came to my side gives the order to move me back to the blues. Now that the new army was a little bit closer now I could see what they were, they were… stick people. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE STICKMEN DOING HERE?" I screamed. "Mistress you know what black thin things are?" Asked one of the minions. "Yes, something from another dimension," I said quietly as I saw arrow and spells fly from the stickman army towards the demons as they charged them. Many of them were killed as they struck their targets, but still many remained, then from between the marching speartons the magikill minions that came up to their waists charged towards the demons. The minions were shortly followed by giants that wielded and wore different sets of helmets and clubs. 'Wow, I've got to get some of those guys for myself. They would help.' I thought, as I looked at the giants. It was after I finished that thought when the minions and giants clashed with the demons, the minions were smaller, and faster making them hard to hit as they slit the throats of the demons or stabbed them, and the Giants just used their strength to stomp or smash them the only one that showed the ability to kill them was the general, as he ran up one of their clubs then cut off one of their heads. I sent out a mental command to all of my brown minion's Elites and otherwise. 'All units attack the demons but leave the other ones alone.' They did as they were told, and the general could see this was a one-sided fight. "ALL SOLDIERS RETREAT!" He yelled as loud as he could to make them obey his orders, as they all ran in different directions, leaving only my minions, and the stickmen as they formed a line in front of my minions with their weapons drawn just as their main force arrived. 'ALL ELITES REVERT. REVERT NOW!' I screamed over the link causing the Elites to flinch from the volume yet they followed the order to revert to their base form just as I did also. I ran up in front of my minions and faced the stickmen before saying. "Stop we're not your enemies." Then a spearton with red hair that wrapped over her shoulders, and down her back, and said. "Then who are you then?" She said with a feminine voice. "We are a friend to all that is good and foe to all evil," I said to some scattered murmuring. She didn't have any visible eyes, but I could tell she was looking me over to see if I was lying or not. "I'll take you to our emperor." She told me before her soldiers made a path. Following the spearton who I assume is a general or at least a commander of some kind I asked. "So you have an emperor huh what's he like?" "During my short time serving as his general, he has shown himself to be kind, and dedicated to his people." She told me confirming my guess about her position. Then we got past the soldiers to see a stickman wearing a crown and cape kneeling next to the dead giant, as he put a hand on its head. "Your highness I have brought someone to meet you." The general said getting his attention, and he stood up. At that precise moment, Artemis chose to materialize, fly over to me and start to scan me. "Guardian I was so worried about you." "So what's your name handsome?" I asked. He had a red blush on his face as he said. "You may call me John." He said then cleared his throat. "You wouldn't happen to have been a pale, brown-haired, 20 year old who was obsessed with Stick War Legacy would you?" I asked "How do you know who I was?" He asked. I removed my helmet to show my face while more beautiful it mostly looks the same. "Kylie." He said shocked. "Yeah, it's me," I said and he rushed over to hug me. "I can't believe your here or the fact you called me handsome you never really looked at me that way back on earth." He said and I could feel the tears on my armor. "Your an idiot and blind," I said, causing him to look up at me. "What do you mean by that I'm very smart and have 20/20 vision." He said confused "I've been dropping hints for the past six months that I like you!" I said exasperated "Well, I never thought you would like me with our age difference and everything." He told me. "Age is just the amount of years you have been on the Earth, love can transcend time and age." He blushed and looked away for a second before looking back at me saying. "Well, i guess it official then lets me show you around my place." He said and walked off but before I could follow a spear was held in front of me. "What are you doing?" I asked holding a corruption spell I'm my hand. "I don't know how you know him but if you hurt him I will kill you." She warned before lowering her spear not afraid of my spell. I leaned down and said to her. "I'm immortal girly and I would never hurt him. The one you should worry about hurting the other is him hurting me." I said "Why do you say that even during my short life he has proven to be kind and respectable?" She asked. "He has a habit of being too engrossed in his projects to notice social cues and he can be rather oblivious to love," I replied She looked at John who was ordering a few of his soldiers before looking back at me. "This war will not be easy for him to handle even with his growing power." "You may be right. He may be a master strategist and brilliant tactician but he is not a fighter. What do you mean by growing power?" "With every battle, his power grows and his skills have been growing more powerful as well perhaps you could ask him about it." She told me. "I might do just that," I said as I walked over to John my once a friend and now my boyfriend. {2 days later location John's city} After taking care of the demons it was decided that the ponies weren't safe in that village so we brought them with us after explaining everything to them, and now we were inside John's castle, and we just entered his room so we could talk. {This POV is brought to you by John} Kylie asked me about my powers but I thought it would be best to tell her at the Capital and I took her to my room so we would have some privacy. "Take a seat this might take a bit to explain," I said. "Ok. Let's get started." She said as she started to remove her armor when she was done she was only wearing a bra and panties. I turned away and faced a wall blushing to the point my head was looking like an apple. "What's wrong don't you like me?" "I do but I thought you would be wearing something under your armor I wasn't mentally prepared for this," I said with a gulp. "Well sorry if I rushed out of my tower to save some Flutter Ponies. I didn't exactly know I would be removing my armor before I returned to the tower." She said now blushing herself. "Well can you cover yourself with a blanket or at least get under one on the bed?" I asked. "Ooh, so you want me in your bed huh!" She teased. "No, I uh." Was all I could say. "I think that's enough teasing now." She said as she snapped her fingers and a dress appeared from thin air and she put it on. I turned around to see her sexy black dress and I coughed. "Wow, she is perfect," I said not realizing i was speaking aloud. "Why thank you I appreciate the compliment from my boyfriend." She said with a big smile and my blush returned. "Well um." I said as we both sat on the bed."Your welcome I guess." "Maybe later you might like to remove this and get at these?" She said cupping her breasts. I struggled not to just give in to my desires as i watched her. "Hahahahahahahahaha. Oh, the look on your face when I did that. PRICELESS." She said as she snapped her fingers again and another dress appeared on her body. "Hey, i thought you were trying to tempt me I was actually about to give in," I said. "Oh, I was serious. I just couldn't not laugh at the face you were making." An idea popped into my head that could prove to get her to blush. "Ok then for laughing at me would you let me get behind you and grope you," I said. "Sure go right ahead." She said turning around. I blushed slightly and got behind her let my hands glide from her back to her breasts giving them a soft squeeze causing her to moan. "Oh, baby your touch is so gentle and yet strong." "You know i was never the aggressive type," I said and started moving her breasts around as I gave them gently squeezes and sometimes rubbing my thumb over her nipples. "That's-Nnnh true-” she paused, panting heavily, “You never were much of a- ff-IGHT-Eeer~." She barely got out as she climaxed. I let go of her breasts as I sat down then she turned around to face me blushing. "Well that was fun," I said to her and my blush was still visible. "Shall we get down to business now?" She asked and I nodded. "When I first got here I was given an army by the guy that sent me here and I was at level 1." "Ok, so kind of like Death March To a Parallel World Rhapsody?" "Yes I think and I was given access to a shop and I was given this city for free but unfortunately I placed it on a giant Scorpion nest that nearly overran the city but we managed to kill them, and turned them into undead that we were going to use in the battle but never got the chance also i can purchase skills and abilities from the shop as well," I explained. "Ok, Giant Undead Scorpions are AWESOME!" She said. "Maybe but we lost a few good people now that I think of it, I should have gotten a few levels from that battle, let's see if I can buy any skills," I said opening the shop. I was level 35 with 60 skill points wait 60 i thought as I did the quick math in my head the skill points I received doubled. "Any thoughts on what I should get honey but remember i can also get skills through training so try to pick something i can't get through normal means," I said and gave her a quick kiss. She looked at the screen and saw so many abilities that would be useful but could be trained then she saw five abilities that he couldn't just train up the abilities were air magic, lightning magic, body of iron, strategist and lastly stamina of the dragon. I looked at the three passive skills Body of iron Greatly improves endurance and unarmed physical attacks Strategist Greatly improves the ability to quickly think of attack or defense plans. Stamina of the dragon Greatly improves stamina and stamina recovery "So have plans for Stamina of the dragon," I said jokingly in her ear. "Maybe! Maybe not!" She said slyly as I brought them but I still had 20 points left after. "Still have some left," I said as I leaned against Kylie i was a little shy at first but I am a lot more comfortable now then I heard a beep and it seemed Kylie heard it as well. "Hey look at that message at the top." She said pointing at the top of the screen. I looked at it and begin reading. Character customization has now been unlocked you can now customize yourself and notice that several items improve certain skills or abilities. It said than an icon appeared in my view the one I could only see so I selected it, and it showed me. headwear unavailable Eyes available Facial hair available I selected the eyes first but there was only one unlocked a weird-looking set of eyes it was four different colors and it seemed each color was separated. The top left was red top right was brown bottom left was blue and the bottom right was white then the middle was black as a normal eye. I read its power it seemed to make my control of the natural elements more effective then I backed out and selected facial hair. There were tons of different styles unlocked so I asked. "Hey, what kind of facial hairstyle do you like?" I asked. "I kind of liked when you grew that fu man chu mustache last summer." She said with a slight blush then I nodded as I found and selected it and I made the 'stache white. Would you like to save changes Y/N I selected yes and suddenly my vision went dark. I put my hand to my face and I could feel eyes ever since I have been here I haven't had the urge to blink so I guess I just didn't have eyes before. I slowly opened my new eyes and Kylie was looking into them. "Those eyes are beautiful baby and i love the 'stache," She said "Thank you," I said and I twirled my mustache with my finger then made a flame in my free hand it was very easy to control now it was a little difficult before. "So how do you think we should fight these demons?" I asked. "Well, first I need my other two hives then we can make a plan of attack." She said. "I will send my best to scout and maybe we can find their base as well," I said then remembered. "We should go calm down the flutter ponies, I am sure they are scared out of their minds being out of their village like this," I said with a little worry in my voice. "I agree, and now that I'm not in my armor I'm not as scary." She said. I nodded so we left my room and as we walked many of my soldiers complimented my new look as we left the castle. "They should be gathered in the square," I told her as we approached it. The Flutter ponies were being very loud to where we could barely hear ourselves think. "Quiet down," I said but they didn't seem to hear me. "QUIET DOWN!" I yelled then they stopped talking. "I know many of you are scared but you are safe here we will give you homes and food to eat so please calm down," I told them. "Anyone who doesn't want to stay here is more than welcome to come to my tower," Kylie said. "What about the things that attacked our village." A flutter pony shouted. "We are now at war with them and your village is no longer safe to stay in, so that is why we brought you here so you won't be caught in the crossfire, we won't force you to be in this war," I told them and they were calming down a bit. "And like I said before we will give you shelter and food here. Also, you will be given full citizenship so you will be treated as equals here." I added and they were all taken to their new homes while I and Kylie went back to the castle to continue talking and catching up on what all has happened to both of us.
Ch.3Chapter 3 {Demon General POV} "You worthless heaps of garbage," I shouted as I kicked away on of my soldiers, into a wall, killing it. "You are calling my gifts garbage." A voice said booming inside the room I was in forcing me to the floor, then suddenly a figure appeared it was the demon lord, he always used this to talk to me. Demons of Tartarus are normally not able to leave Tartarus, but if they are a certain degree and below the weaker demons can. "I'm sorry my lord I meant no disrespect," I said pleadingly as the force keeping me on the floor faded. "Why haven't the gates opened, i gave you the sufficient troops required, to capture that flower?" He asked. "We encountered two separate forces, we were pincered if we had stayed then, we would have died," I explained, making him rub his chin. After he put his hand back down he said. "I will give you one more chance, you will receive more troops soon, use them to remove these new forces, no one can be in the way if the gates are to be opened." He ordered before disappearing back into the darkness. "Beware, girl, I'm coming for you." {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady (Kylie)} I woke up in a cold sweat in John's bed. John was sleeping next to me one of his hands on top of mine, and he moved a but before he opened his eyes. "What time is it?" He asked tiredly, as he sat up to look out a window to see it was still dark. "I just saw the Demon General talking to a shadowy figure, the reason they were killing the flower was to open the gates to Tartarus." "Oh no." He said then his eyes moved down and he averted his eyes quickly as he blushed, I looked to see what he saw, and it appeared one of the straps that went over my shoulder slipped, and one of my boobs was almost hanging out. "Does my boyfriend like what he sees?" I asked moving the other strap off my shoulder exposing both breasts. He liked back to, and his blush deepened as he said. "Yes, I do." He said shyly which prompted me to shake my torso causing them to jiggle. I could see a bulge under his side of the blanket and he moved to cover it but I stopped him. "No, let's do something fun." "Are you sure?" He asked with a little more confidence in his voice and I scooted closer to him and whispered in his ear. "Somebodies got a big boy in the basement," I said then I threw the blanket off to see his smooth black dick it looked more like a rod with a domed end. "Umm, this is my first time." He admitted. I leaned in close and whispered in his ear right before I hilted on his nine and a half inches of dick. "Mine too." "My god." He moaned as I felt the pain fade, so I slowly moved up and down his shaft making me moan in pleasure and slight pain but mostly pleasure. I felt him put his hands on my hips, and he sat up a bit more so our bodies pressed against each other. "So good." He said before giving me a long kiss. I moved his head down to my breasts, and he got the hint as he started to suck on them eagerly not wasting a second, and while he sucked on one he groped the other letting his thumb rub against my nipple teasingly as his tongue teased the other. I started moving faster as the sound of flesh slapping against flesh could be heard around the room as my moans grew louder. His other hand grabbed my ass, then he spanked me sending shivers up my spine. 'Oh fuck Oh fuck I'm gonna cum.' I thought as I pushed him down onto the bed as I started going faster while making the bed creak in the process. "Kylie I'm gonna cum," John told while breathing heavily as I rode his dick. "Good I want every drop," I told him, and my body felt stranger lighter and stronger as I did him even harder than before, then we both came, I felt my own pussy suck every drop as I collapsed on top of him covered in sweat, and my whole body engulfed in pleasure as I felt his cock pulse inside me as he continued to empty his load inside me. "That was amazing," John said between breaths. "Same, and I'm looking forward to next time," I told him before kissing his cheek, and sunlight started to enter the room. "Guess it too late to go back to sleep shall we wash up before heading out?" He asked me while gently embracing me, and he pulled out but his cock was still rock hard, as I felt it rub against my pussy, and it twitched sending small waves of pleasure through my sensitive body, then a small screen opened up in front of him but since it was backward, and a bit blurry I couldn't read it, and after he read it he gave me a nervous smile. "What is it? What's wrong?" I asked really nervous all of a sudden. "Oh, it's nothing really important just a message from the system." He told me but knowing him the way I do, I knew that was a lie. "Johnathan Harlock you tell me the truth right now." He sighed before he put his finger on one side of the screen then flipped it over for me to read. Hello John we knew you two would get together eventually and since my friend gave Kylie a small gift I thought I would do the same I added an adult section to help keep things interesting between you, and her, and don't worry about paying it's all free, so go nuts, also if you two want to send tokens you'll have to wait till after you reach the main storyline -The Merchants P.S if you for some reason you're turned to stone your kingdoms, and people will vanish until your released To say that I was blushing with embarrassment would be an understatement I was glowing, but I moaned again as his dick twitched. "YOU, ME SHOWER NOW!" I said forcefully. "Ok ok." He said sliding out from under me and stood up then he lead me to his bathroom that was fitted with a very large bathtub, and shower along with other necessities. "Wow, this is cool. Not as cool as my tower bathroom but just barely." I admitted as John got the shower ready for the two of us but he seemed to not notice what I really wanted to do, so I decided to give him a hint in the form of a blowjob. After he had gotten under the water I pushed him against the wall and dropped to my knees as his dick fitted nicely between my breasts, and I took the tip into my mouth as I mashed my breasts around the rest of his shaft. "Oh fuck." He said putting a hand on my head, but he didn't make me move so I did it for him by dropping my head further down his shaft and sucking on it like a lollipop. "I'm so glad I woke up this morning." He said before he began doing small thrusts between my breasts driving his dick deeper into my mouth. John helped me up off my knees and got me to lean against the wall as the shower head sprayed warm water across my back. "Oh taking me from behind like a Lycan," I said as I teasingly shook my ass a little. He pushed inside me and didn't waste any time as he pounded away, as he grabbed my hips, and the warm water made my body more sensitive I came hard. "AWWAAA, *PANT* *PANT* *PANT*" I howled as he pounded me for several minutes making cum again, and again. "Does my wolf want another filling?" John asked me as he started pounding me, as hard as he could, and with every thrust, I could feel his cock pulse, and for some reason, I could tell he was going to pump even more into me then he did before. "YES Yes, thousand times yes," I screamed as he thrust into one more time before I felt his warm seed being pumped into me again, and I felt like I was in paradise as I felt my womb being completely filled. He pulled out of me and a few ropes of cum sprayed onto my back but was quickly washed away, and John's knees gave out and he fell to the ground his cock still hard, and I might have been having a few regrets increasing his stamina, and endurance so much. "*PANT* *PANT* *PANT* *PANT* Thanks for the cream filling. I might just be prego now." I said looking over my shoulder. "We could go again but you would have to do most of the work." He told me then chuckled, as his cock twitched from being so sensitive. "I don't think that would be a good idea. I'm just as sensitive as you are so it wouldn't be any fun." I said trying not to cum and squirt all over him just from the water running on my back. "Ok but maybe next time we should buy a skill that increases my strength, my body didn't seem to keep up with my endurance, and stamina, and if you are pregnant I will keep you safe." He said seductively. "I don't need protection from you, I need support from you, let my elites protect me and you can fuck me all you want. But first I have a way to increase your strength." "Ok, what is it." He said just as he was about to open the shop but stopped from curiosity, and he got up next to me and kissed my cheek. "Well, I'll bite you and turn you into a Lycan," I said as I shifted my head into its other form. He looked a little scared but he put up an arm and said. "Try to be careful my arms not that thick, and I don't have a regeneration ability yet." He said. "Just trust me dear everything will be fine," I said as I leaned down and bit into his hand willing myself to turn him. He held in his scream of pain, then I took my jaw off him, and the wounds quickly healed. "So how do I change?" He asked me. "For every Lycan it's different. For some its anger others loyalty and yet others grief. You won't know until your first full moon night what it is. A screen popped up in front of John, and it said. you have contracted lycanthropy you will now have the ability to turn into a Lycan once your first forced transformation perks medium regeneration, increased strength x10, and increases stamina regen. Time till forced transformation Then it showed a timer counting down to the three nights, I heard John chuckle again before saying. "I was hoping I could turn right away so we could have some Lycan on Lycan action or maybe some Lycan on human," John said, as he hugged my naked body making me shudder. "Sorry babe them's the rules," I said sadly. "Well, at least I got increased strength that could be helpful in more ways than one." He said then picked me up and held me against his body as my legs went around him. "Don't you agree?" "Oh, I would definitely have to agree, my little pup," I said endearingly. He gave me a few kisses before setting me down on my feet, and we started washing each other. "So do you regret coming to this World?" John asked as he started with my legs. "Sometimes when Gnarl gets on my case to do something evil but for the most part not really," I replied. He moved up to my waist now, and he was very thorough to get every inch clean and he made me cum again as he gave me a quick fingering before moving higher. "And what about meeting me here was that the best moment of your time here?" He asked. "It was the second-best moment so far," I said "And I'm guessing the best one was when we took each other's first time." He said, as he finally got up to my breasts. "Yes, and the second time," I said with a cheeky grin then gasped for breath as he didn't waste time as he groped my breasts as he washed them. "Trust me this won't be the last time we have a long life ahead of us, you can be sure of that." He told me, as he kissed my neck. Not much to say about my time washing him because he is a stickman, and after he had made me climax again from groping my breasts we had finished and as we were drying ourselves he said. "Next time we should do it in the tub, what do you think?" He asked. "Sure let's do that Stud," I said seductively as I finished getting dressed and his dick had disappeared. "Ah, mistress finally back in your armor I see." His almighty Walnuttiness said. 'Yeah Walnut Brain what of it? I was having some special time with my boyfriend.' I said agitation clear in my voice. "I have located the green hive your right on top of it." He said with glee. "John, Gnarl just told me we are right on top of one of my hives. What's below us again?" I asked. "The scorpion den but it's now a mine." He told me. "Well, apparently the Green hive is down there," I said with a slight hint of disgust. "What's wrong?" He asked me. "They smell funny and are pretty weak except when they use sneak attacks." "Well I haven't received any reports maybe it's encased in stone, we'll have to go down there to find it." He told me and so we did, it was a massive cavern that looked like it went on for miles and there were sounds of metal hitting stone that echoed through the cavern. "This is where all our gold, and metal comes from and I don't even think we have scratched the surface yet." He said as he wrapped an arm around me. For some reason, the sounds of metal hitting stone gradually stop and a smell like thousands of rotten fish heads crops up. "I think they found the hive," I said covering my nose. "Yes, I think so too. Let's get it out of here and to your tower before anything bad happens." John said as he led me to a small mined out area, and not far in was a green glow coming from a hole in the wall. As we approached the hole the smell got worse and worse until I was on the verge of passing out. "There has to be a lot of them for the smell to be this bad." "Maybe, Another reason to get them out of here, but here's a serious question how are you going to get to your tower quickly i don't really want you to be gone for 4 days we just got back together?" He asked just as a tower node along with minion nodes popped up to our right. "That's how. Aww, you don't want to be away from me that's kinda cute." I said with a blush. He blushed and said. "Well I can't help it I want to keep you to myself." He said with embarrassment then looked at me. "You're the most beautiful woman I have ever met, and I love you." He said rubbing the back of his head. "Well you're the most handsome stickman I have ever seen and I love you too," I said with a grin making John arch an eyebrow or at least it looked that way given his lack of them. Then he shrugged and brown Elites soon came through the node, and greens hopped out of the hole in the wall. "Well, we'll talk about what that meant later for now let's get your hive to your tower," John said. I tried to order the greens to pick up the hive but instead, they dropped into an attack stance and some went invisible though I could still sense where they were. "Mistress seems the greens are giving you a little trouble why don't you turn into a Lycan to scare them, among all the weapons an overlady can posses, fear is among the greatest you can wield," Gnarl told me vindictively. And thus I initiated the change, catching one of the invisible ones with a paw to the skull when it lunged at me, and roared as loud as I could, causing those that were too close to drop to the ground unconscious. Soon the greens turned submissive as they did as they were ordered, and carried their hive and unconscious to the nodes, then I turned to look at John as he said. "That kinda turned me on." He said. I picked John up bridal style and loped off back towards our room. Once we got there I tossed him onto the bed, and before he could speak I shifted back then stripped naked before changing back again, and I noticed my breasts had grown much larger making his cock appear again as I jumped into the bed, and positioned myself then took his entire cock inside me once again. {Next day} We were both completely exhausted beyond belief, we had only stopped to eat or drink yesterday and we had kept going all through the night without rest, I was so full that I felt like I would explode, and John's body went limp an hour ago but I kept riding him as I moaned in his ear and told him how much I love him, and I collapsed on the bed next to him, and I changed back. "Well if you weren't before your definitely pregnant now," John said between heavy breaths. I rubbed the slight belly I had gained from all the cum and said. "We need names, clothes, toys, and weapons." "Weapons?" John asked as he managed to lift his head. "Yes, weapons if they are anything like you and they will grow fast so we need to be ready with training and tools of war for them," I said. "I understand but they might be stick people, and we don't wear clothes, but the other things are easy enough to get." He told me. "I'm sorry I derailed your day yesterday but for some reason, I couldn't stop myself," I said sheepishly. "Don't worry I had nothing planned I glad I spent it in bed with my girlfriend, and maybe soon to be wife." He said as he put one of his hands over mine and smile, as he somehow got enough strength to climb on top of me and give me a kiss while his tip rubbed against my pussy causing me to wince. "OW OW OW THAT STINGS!" I said, then John looked through a screen before pressing a button and a green potion came out. "Here this will take care of it." He told me while slowly letting me drink the contents of the bottle, and as it emptied my body felt better while still exhausted. "WAIT DID YOU SAY, WIFE!?" I said as I jolted up throwing him off in the process. "Yes why wouldn't I, I love you, I don't ever want to leave you, and I can't get you out of my head." He said before sitting up to face me with joy in his eyes and placed a hand on my cheek. "Daw, that's so sweet," I said barely keeping myself from jumping his bones again. He kissed me but just as he did the door swung wide open to show Kefla breathing heavily, but then a heavy blush was soon on her face as she realized the situation. I covered myself and asked. "What is it, what's wrong?" "Demons are attacking our borders." She told us. John slipped out of bed, grabbed his sword, and said. "Where I'll create more troops there." He asked. "One of the towns' that we passed by, on our way back." She told him, then I felt him spend a lot of magical energy even though I had little experience in sensing others' magic, but I could tell he used a lot. "Which village I can have Gnarl send some Elites and Blues to meet us." "It was the second village we passed." She told me. "Let's get going," John said as he ran out of the room with a fire in his eyes shortly followed by Kefla soon after two of my Elites entered and helped me get dressed and into my armor. After that, I ran after John, and Kefla, I found them right in front of the node. "Gnarl open a node portal to the second village we passed on the return trip and send the rest of my Elites through along with the Lycans," I told him "Yes, mistress," Gnarl said before the node opened, and we all started jumping in, and when we got to the village it was absolute chaos the buildings were on fire, and fighting was everywhere, but the stick people held their ground against the invading force. Leading them all were two new demons. One looked like a larger one of their infantry with an ax blade made of what looked like silver and the other stood at 9 feet tall with red skin, and a human-like face with four horns on his head but two smaller than the other's he wore little armor over his chest, and a long black robe covering his legs, and his sword was almost as tall as he was, and flames radiated off it with every swing as he guarded with his shield. "Seems they came prepared this time," John said as he drew his sword from his hip, as he walked towards the two. "John the shorter one is mine I'm gonna take that ax and shove it down his throat," I told him. "Well, then I guess I'm gonna have a difficult fight then." He said as he sighed before charging toward the red one. It seemed the big one noticed me before I could make a plan of attack and charged me while preparing to do a sweep attack with its ax. I ducked down onto all fours and shifted fully and tried to run him through with one of my shoulder spikes. He jumped back before the spike could pierce him, then he kicked me with his left hoof sending me to the ground then he lifted his ax above his head and tried to cleave my head in two but I rolled to my right and lunged at him. I tackled him to the ground and held his ax in place as I tried to bite his head off but he moved his head from side to side before head butting my snout. I howled in pain and I looked back at it to see it was too late as it basically slapped me with the broad side of its ax, making me fall off him. We both quickly got up as we got ready to fight once more, but now several of my Lycan browns came to my aid. "Subdue it not kill it, this is my kill!" I ordered, and they charge him but quite a few of them were beheaded before they could lunge at him but one of them latched onto his left arm, making him have to bang his arm against a wall to get it off. While it was distracted trying to get the Lycan brown off its arm several more brought it to its knees by slashing the tendons on the back of its legs. It fell to its knees, which gave me the opportunity to bite it's head off at the neck causing me to absorb a ton of life force of the purple and blue variety, after its body fell to the ground John and the red demon burst from a nearby roof and stood on the rooftop, it seemed they had both taken a little damage but it didn't seem to bother either of them. I picked up the silver ax then threw it at the red demon but as it nearby his I saw his eyes glance towards my direction before swinging its blade, to deflect the ax towards John. John easily enough ducked under the ax as it flew over his head. 'THANK FAUST IT MISSED. THAT COULD OF BEEN BAD.' I thought in relief as the ax sailed back around to me and dug into the ground at my feet. {This Point Of View is brought to you by: John} 'That was close.' I thought as I looked down to see Kylie in her Lycan form, but now wasn't the time to be distracted as the demon charged me. He brought his sword down over my head but I held my sword up, and the roof broke under my feet, as I blocked sending me to the bottom floor. He soon followed as he tried to cleave my head in two but I blocked with my sword again but I was forced to one knee as he landed, and I could feel the heat radiating off his sword as it inches closer to my head making me sweat. "Pathetic." The demon said as he kicked me sending me through a wall, and just like that i waa outside again covered in cuts, and bruises. The building soon collapsed on top of the demon but he was unscathed, as he walked out of the rubble. After getting up, I realized my sword was gone, that was when I saw him standing on it, and he seemed to know too, as he stomped breaking it in two. "I can't see why the general couldn't deal with you himself your weak." The demon said as he kicked the broken sword away. "After I kill you I think I'll take that Lycan friend of yours, and feed your corpse to her." He said before laughing, and I was filled with rage as I felt a power rising within me. My hands were enveloped in blue flames as I glared at him and they grew in intensity with every moment that passed. "YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HER!" I shouted as whips made of the intense flames formed, and the ground just from the intensity of the flame turned to magma, then I lifted one of my hands as I send the whip his way. He blocked with his sword, making the whip wrapped around it, making him grin. "Really flames my sword can be…." He said but then his grin turned into a look of fear as his sword melted right in front of him. I didn't waste time as I made the other whip warp around him, and I pursuit made this one not as hot so he won't die instantly. He screamed in pain, as I walked towards him then retracted one of my whips but kept one around him then forced my fist into his chest as I let the flames course through his body, then blue flames erupted from his mouth, and eye sockets as he was burned from the inside out. I felt so powerful at that moment, but as he died all the energy drained from my body as I collapsed from exhaustion. {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady (Kylie)} Having seen the whole fight I rushed over to John as I called for a medic blue, and I caught him just before he hit the ground. He looked up at me and smiled. "Hey, Kylie." He said weakly. "Hey, baby. I'm getting you looked at ok." I said as the medic corp member started looking him over. "I think it's just mana exhaustion I'm running on fumes." He said then groaned in pain. "And maybe a broken rib or two." "Master fractured four ribs and his mana is depleted." The medic said rather smartly. And as he said then the sound of battle started to fad, as I looked around to see life force, and loot all over the place, and the battle had ended. Seeing that it is over, I gave the order to collect all the dead except John's people and all the swag. I changed back to my normal, form then John put a hand on my cheek. "Looks like we won our first battle together." He said with a grin. "Yeah, I guess we did," I said nuzzling him back then there was screaming. "AHH IT BURNS, IT BURNS MISTRESS." A Lycan Brown yelled running up to us waving blistered hands. "WHAT DID YOU TOUCH!" I growled at it gaining a foot of height and some claws. I felt John starting rubbing my cheek with his thumb. "Hey calm down its ok." He said in an attempt to calm me. I turned to him and winked trying to clue him in it's just a scare tactic, and he nodded. Turning back to the Lycan brown I reiterated my question but in a bit of a calmer manner. "What.Did.You.Touch?" I asked again "Shiny ax!" It replied with a whimper. The medic looked over the Lycan's hands then said. "It's in my expert opinion these are silver burns they should heal in about a week but there will be some scarring." He diagnosed. Two plain browns run-up lugging the pieces of John's sword. "For da Master." "You can have it, Kylie, you might find more use for it than me," John said. Reverting back to my smaller size I said. "Thanks, hun. I wonder if Giblet is still around or if it's Ricket that's Forgemaster?" "Well first we should head home, and I'll have my people give the ones who died a proper burial." He said struggling to get up, then Kefla came to his side, and put one of his arms over her shoulder. I swiftly scooped him up and away from Kefla into a bridal carry. I heard several of the male stick people chuckle behind me, and I turned my head to growl at them before heading to the portal mode. "Just take me to our room I'll see if there is a skill to quicken the process." He told me as he groaned. "Why would you want to quicken the process now once your first change happens your regen factor will increase from a few hours to a few minutes?" I queried. "Oh i thought it was already at full strength, well I can still go through my skills, and see if there is anything useful, I also need a new sword." He said as we quickly went to our room. Upon arriving there I laid John on the bed and laid down next to him and closed my eyes. {Next morning. This Point Of View of brought to you by John} It seemed I had woken up before Kylie as I noticed the pain was gone, from my chest, but now really wasn't the time to fool around, so I opened the shop and began slowly looking through the shop but then the screen turned black as words appeared on the screen. due to recent level increase new content will become available beginning update now it said then an hourglass appeared in the middle of the screen, as it flipped over and over again before the screen returned to normal. There were a bunch of new additions to both skills, and in the shop, but I was only interested in the shop right now as I searched through it until I found a sword that interested me. Sword of the red Dragon Created from the dying breath of the ancient red dragon this sword has the power to kill both the living and the dead. Attack 750 Unlocks dragon eyes Ability unlock unknown must reach requirements Enchantment as hot as dragons fire when drawn allowing it to melt through most armor, and weapons 'This will be useful.' I thought then bought it, as a sword in a sheath landed in my lap, then I placed it beside the bed, as I began looking through skills. I had 50 points right now meaning I leveled up 5 times from that battle, so I had plenty to spend on two or three skills. I looked through the list, and only really found one thing that interested me, it was a healer from the second stick war game though the staff was different it didn't really matter, and now I had 30 skill points, then I heard a beeping sound then it pulled up my skill tree. Fire magic level 2 Slash attack level 3 Unique stickman creation Ice/water magic level 2 Earth magic level 1 Swordsmanship level 2 Mp recovery level 5 Body of iron Strategist Stamina of a dragon Medium regeneration Beast transformation Strength 10x Stamina regen NEW rage I clicked rage then it pulled up a description. Rage A powerful skill that greatly enhances all attack, how much and how long it lasts depends on how much rage the user feels 'Might be best for Kylie not to know about this." I thought then closed the skill tree to go back to the shop. I found another skill that interested me, and it was called final charge. Final charge A circumstantial skill like it names states can only be used during dire circumstances where the user is on the verge of death, this ability allows the user to turn the tide by releasing very powerful energy through the body, and greatly enhance a skill for a single attack. Now I was left with only 10 points as I bought it. And for my final skill, I bought Telekinesis Telekinesis A skill that allows the user to move things with his mind how much he can lift depends on the level of the skill, and the strength of the user's mind. After that, I rolled onto my side to face Kylie and closed my eyes hoping today nothing would go wrong.
Surprises and Preparations for WarAuthor's Note hey guys and gals thanks for reading and here is a bonus chapter. please leave a like and a comment letting us know what you like or dislike about our story and stay tuned for the next chapter. The War Begins "Wake up." I heard a voice say waking me up to see Kefla right above my face. "Wait, what time is it?" I asked a little tired. "It's time for breakfast." She said sitting me up, then I looked to my right to see Kylie in her Lycan form curled up in a ball. I put a hand on her, and gently shook her. "Come on, it's time for breakfast," I said before yawning. Kylie uncurled from her ball and opened one eye before giving a huge yawn that showed all of her teeth. "*YAWN* Did you say breakfast?" She asked in a voice half-asleep and half-excitement. "Yes, I'm going to go ahead so you can get dressed, then I'll tell you about last night," I said before standing up and grabbing my sword before leaving with Kefla. And when I got to the dining hall I saw two plates one stacked with pancakes, and some toast on the side, and then there was mine, I internally sighed as I looked at it before sitting down. It was simply a few small cubes of meat and a few scrambled eggs, due to my new body I could only eat so much, but the tradeoff was my taste buds were greatly enhanced, so things had much more flavor, but still compared to hers my breakfast was kind of pitiful. "Guess who and what?" Came a voice from behind me before hands covered my eyes. I gently grabbed her arms before saying. "Oh, I don't know maybe my beautiful Lycan girlfriend," I said with a smile before she uncovered my eyes. "Correct. Now guess what my surprise is? But no peeking." Kylie said. I put my hands in front of me, then rubbed my thumbs together as I thought what her surprise was, but I had no idea. "I have no idea why don't you show me?" I asked her. "Ok, you can turn around now," Kylie said. I turned around and saw a dress that made my jaw drop, but in her hand was a two-colored orb. It was mostly pink but had a few blue splotches on it. "Wow you look amazing and what is that?" I asked her looking at it with curiosity. Kylie rubbed her belly then said. "Thanks, I had Snips make it for me especially for you. It's a pregnancy spell. Gnarl found it in the tower's archives. It shows the gender or genders of the babies. *SQUEE*WE ARE HAVING A LITTER OF 10 LITTLE ONES." Kylie announced. I ran up to her and hugged her, before lifting her in the air. "That's fantastic," I said happily while I held her tightly. "I'm a bit worried though. My character never experienced this because she never found a mate.l so we are in uncharted territory." Kylie said as she burst into tears. I set her down and held her close to me to comfort her before I kissed her forehead. "Don't worry my love, whatever happens, we will always have each other," I told her, as I got her to her chair at the table. I motioned for her to eat and she started to eat slowly. "So what happened last night that you needed to tell me?" Kylie asked. After going to my chair I told her how the shop updated, and new skills and items were added, this was when I showed her my new sword and explained its stats, then I told her the skills i bought, so the only thing I didn't tell her was about 'rage'. "Wow, I'm impressed. I wonder if that store has anything like 'The Path Of The Lycan'?" Kylie queried to herself. "I'll have to check later, also why don't we go visit Celestia, and Luna after breakfast they would want to know about your pregnancy," I suggested as I used a fork to pick up one of the cubes of meat. "Are you sure you should go what about all the administrative duties you have here?" Kylie asked with a hint of fear in her voice. "The only thing of importance today is building warehouses to secure extra food for emergencies, and Kelfa is already at work securing the border, so we will have more warning of attacks," I told her, trying to set her at ease although it didn't seem to work. "It's ok it's not like they are going to attack me on sight," I said with a smile, as I had already eaten half my food. "Weeeeellll about that!" Kylie said while rubbing the back of her neck. I raised an eyebrow, then said. "Ok then…. How about you go in first, and tell them the news, then describe me to them so they don't attack." I suggested. There was silence while we ate for a bit until she finished her food except for the toast. "Ok if you insist on coming that's probably the best course of action shall we get going?" She said standing up and grabbing her toast. {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady Kylie} 'Hey, Walnut Brain you up!' I yelled into the telepathic link. 'Yes, I'm here mistress what is your command.' He answered back. 'How far to my sisters' castle is it from the closest portal?' 'The closet one let me see. Hey, you hand me that, no the other one pea brain.' He said then went silent before saying. 'Ah yes, the closest one is south of what the locals call Castle Town.' He told me 'Oh, yea I forgot I had the minions build that.' I said walking towards the City Node. Upon us arriving at the City Node, I said. 'Hey, Gnarl can ya open the Node to Castle Town so we can go through?' 'Of course mistress.' He said as it opened. 'Thank you Gnarl!' I communicated to him right after I went through to the other side as I put on my helmet. "So this is where they live," John said coming through right behind me. "Yup, they live in the castle on the other side of town. Now should I or shouldn't I bring a couple of Elites?" I asked John. "You shouldn't, and I'll stay here till you get things sorted with them so they don't attack me." He said as he leaned against a tree. "Ok, I'll send a guard for you when the air is clear enough for you to meet them," I said kissing him on the lips before turning around and walking to the main gate. As I walked towards the gate I saw two guards standing on either side of the porthole. "HALT, WHO GOES THERE." Yelled the guard on the left when I reached the main gate. "My name is Kylie I am here to see my sisters," I said as I pointed to my mark. "Right away your majesty. OPEN THE GATES!" The guard on the right, clearly the senior guard, yelled. "What significance does that mark have? Who is that?" The guard on the left asked the senior guard. "You fool that's the youngest princess who has been away. I'm so sorry your highness for his ignorance he's new. What should I do with him?" The senior guard asked me. "Nothing. If he is new then he will have learned from this." I said playing my part of the princess. "By your wishes your grace. Would you like an escort to the castle?" The senior officer asked. "That would be most appreciated. I choose this young stallion here to be my guide." I said as I pointed to the young guard. "M-m-m-m-me? But I'm just a private why would you want me? Surely the lieutenant would be better suited to be your guide!" He said in a panic. "Private Straight Arrow when a Princess asks you to be her guide you accept immediately!" The now identified as a Lieutenant barked. "It's ok Lieutenant. Private Arrow, I chose you because you are the lowest man on the totem pole and thus have the least experience manning the gates. Now if I took the lieutenant that would leave you to watch the gates and in the case of a monster attack or other emergency you most likely wouldn't have the experience to handle it." I explained, and they seemed to both accept my explanation as the private started to lead me towards the castle. We walked relatively without problems as the locals mostly ignored me, and went about their business, then we arrived at the castle. "Thank you, Private Arrow, but could I trouble you to show me to the throne room?" I asked. "Of course this way." He said then he lead me through the castle until we found the throne room. Once they saw me Celestia said. "Welcome we were wondering when you were going to visit." She said as she and Luna walked up to me with smiles on their faces. "Hello, sisters, it's really good to see you again. Is there anywhere we can have some privacy and comfort? I have some news for you and it's been a long walk." "Oh, what is this news?" Luna asked as she teleported us to what looked like her room where I promptly puked all over the floor. Celestia made all of the puke vanish with her magic before Luna said. "Sorry forgot about that." She said shyly. "It's not your fault, it's the little ones' faults," I said wiping my mouth off. "What do you mean?" Celestia asked as she sat me down on the bed. "Well first order of business is I'm a Lycanthrope." "We doth already know about that when we first met, but how does that explain your puking?" Luna told me as they both sat down next to me. "You both are going to be aunts to a litter of 10 little ones in about a month," I said quickly as I was hiding my face then I heard them squee as they both hugged me. "We're so happy for you," Luna said, and this continued for a while before they got serious. "So then who is the father then?" Celestia asked me. "His name is John and he is…. Artemis!" I called out for my ghost. "Yes, Guardian?" She said as she appeared hovering over my left shoulder. The two of them looked at my ghost curiously before Artemis flew in front of us. "Hey, Artemis could you project a life-size image of John for me, cape and crown on, please?" I asked her and she did, and I had noticed how tall he was 5 foot 7. "So what is he?" Luna asked. "He is what's called a stick person. He is also their ruler." I explained. "A ruler," Celestia said curiously as she went into thought. "I would very much like to meet him," Luna said as she stood up. "You're not gonna hurt him are you?" I asked. Luna shrugged, while Celestia shook her head. "Hey, sis Luna can you get Private Straight Arrow here he can fetch him for us?" I asked her and she teleported away and came back a couple of minutes later with Private Arrow. "Is there something I can do for you?" He asked I motioned him over and whispered what I wanted him to get and where to find John into his ear. He then quickly left to retrieve him and the candy I asked for, then Luna asked. "So what's John like?" "He is kind, funny, chivalrous, and I love him with all of my heart." After a few minutes, the private came back with both John and the candy. "Hi honey, these are my sisters Celestia and Luna," I said pointing to them each respectively. But when I pointed at Luna I noticed she wasn't there, then there was the sound of swords colliding, so I turned to see Luna behind John with her sword drawn, and he was blocking her attack not even looking at her. "LUNA, PLEASE STOP THIS FOOLISHNESS. I LOVE HIM AND I DON'T WANT HIM BROKEN." I screamed. "If he couldn't block this then why would I trust him to protect you." She said sheathing her sword. I just sat there glaring at her while rubbing my belly. John also put away his sword as he took luna's place next to me. "Well now that that is done can we focus on Kylie," John said. "Yes I agree she is the one pregnant here," Celestia said. "Thank you, Celly. Now, Private Arrow, do you have the other items I asked for?" I queried. He gave me the candy then left the room. I looked in the bag and went *SQUEE*. "What's in the bag he had it when he came to get me?" John asked. I showed him the contents and it was saltwater taffy. "Taffy you hate taffy." He said. "Well, I got a craving for it so sue me," I said glaring at him my eyes turning gold. "Ok ok." He said fearfully looking away. I suddenly felt bad about doing that and hugged him to my ample chest. "I'm so so sorry John I don't know what came over me," I said. "Mood swings," Luna said sitting on the floor. "I don't think I'm feeling so good maybe I should lie down," I said. John helped me lay down on the bed and it seemed Celestia scanned me with her magic. "It looks like your children are taking a lot of your magic you should stay in Lycan form till you give birth." She said. "Are you sure that's wise Celly? What if that hurts the babies?" I asked in full-on mothering mode. "They'll be fine." She assured me. "But how can you be sure?" I asked. "I'll cast a spell to make sure they will be unharmed." She said then cast a spell making my stomach glow before fading. I shifted then and the feeling of being sick stopped but I was still tired. "Is it alright Luna if I take a nap here?" I asked after yawning. "Sure take all the time you need." She told me while petting me. "Thanks, guys I'll see you when I wake up," I said as I drifted off to sleep. (This Point Of View is brought to you by John) All three of us watched as she quickly fell asleep, then I said. "I'll leave her to you two, I have things to do back at my empire," I told them, and they nodded in agreement as I quietly left the room, then quickly returned to the node. After returning to the castle Kefla approached me. "Is today the day?" She asked me, and I nodded I was going to put a plan in motion that I came up with shortly after creating Kefla, and I told her about it after Kylie returned. I was going to make a council, and now that we are facing an enemy force it is important to have multiple commanders defending, different locations. I also had an extension built into the castle, and that was where I was going as Kefla followed me. When we got there there was a very large stone table surrounded by 8 chairs one of them a very large one. "Time to get to work," I said. (One hour later) After an hour I was on the last one, the ones I had made so far are magikill, swordwraith, archidon, miner and healer. The Magikill's name was Merlin he was a classic. Didn't really do anything special with him, he has a white beard, a wizard hat, and his staff. His unique ability allows him to use all the magic of the magikill. The swordwraith I gave him the lava skin, I gave him a red goatee, and his unique ability makes him a lot faster if he wants to, and I have him the dragon eye they were red slitted eyes that gave him heat, and night vision his name is Alexander Next was the archadon, I made this one a girl she had royal blue hair that went to her shoulders, she also had the ice skin, her name is Elizabeth, and her unique ability makes her a master archer. Now the miner he won't be a commander but an important member of the council. His name is Will Smith he is a classic miner, and with his unique skill, he can completely restore ore veins. Now lastly the healer I made this one a girl as well though it was hidden by her good her hair was lime green and was in a ponytail, and if it wasn't it was as long as Kefla's, her name Jessica. But the giant was the problem I couldn't come up with a unique skill I gave him the vamp skin, and I plan to name him Atlas. I continued to think about what his skill would be then I got it if he slammed his hammer onto the ground, and can summon up to 50 minions to fight by his side. After confirming it, he looked at me before kneeling and put the top his hammer to the ground. "Rise Atlas now that the Council is finally formed we must get to pressing matters," I said then Merlin stepped forward. "Yes, the demon crisis shall we discuss once we sit down, my back is killing me." He said as he tried straightening his back. "That what you get for slouching," Alexander said as he sat down them, then Jessica healed his back before taking a seat himself. After everyone had taken a seat, including me, I started our meeting. "Demons are already attacking our borders we need a better spotting system, while Kefla had already been moving troops it won't be much help if we don't know where and when they attack," I said then Merlin stroked his beard. "I concur, perhaps watchtowers could be of some use, though not high enough to see for miles, it can help people prepare." He suggested. "It's best if we find out where they're coming from then we don't have to worry because no force in this world can equal the empire's," Alexander said I forgot I made him like that might not have been the best idea. "First we must secure our borders, after securing a good defense then we can search for them, we were caught off guard once it won't happen again," I said. "Yes but first we must increase our numbers to set up a proper defense," Kefla added and I knew this was gonna take awhile. (Demon general POV) "YOU HAVE FAILED ME AGAIN!" The demon lord yelled as I fell to my knees. "It's not my fault the commander you sent was too cocky and got himself killed," I explained. "And how was he cocky?" He asked. "I believe he said something to insult that Lycan then his fire magic became so intense he melted his sword," I told him. The demonic went quiet for a moment then said. "Then I guess I underestimated them for our next attack to have any effect we will have to separate them." He said then went into thought. "First send a sufficient force to attack the pony princesses, that Lycan will undoubtedly go to her sisters' sides." "Sisters?" I asked. "Yes i could feel a faint presence after Faust died I believe she gave her blood, and after sending them you will attack the stickman's border again." He ordered. "With them separated it will make it easier to weaken them, so we can crush them. "Yes my lord," I said before walking away. {3rd person} The demon lord hadn't dissipated left as he turned around. "Seems someone had decided to spy on us again let's see what we can find out shall we." He said then quietly chanted. "Oh your pregnant and you gave some of your power to your stick friend, but it seems that's all I'll learn, for now, you should learn not to spy on others." He said before the room began to fade into darkness. "ENOUGH!" A voice shouted as everything brightened. {This Point Of View is now under the ownership of: The Overlady Kylie} I shot up out of bed to see Celestia and Luna sit beside me with worried faces. "Why didn't you tell us about the demons?" Celestia asked as she brought me in for a hug. "Because I never got the chance to have sisters before and I didn't want to lose you guys so soon after getting you," I said on the verge of tears. "Well, it seems this new demon lord will bring us into this conflict whether we like it or not," Luna said, as she repeated what he said to Celestia. "Yes this is troubling we must prepare," Celestia said standing up. "What can I do to help? I am technically one of you now so this queendom is partly my responsibility." "I don't know since we know about the attack we can prepare but Equestria has one of the strongest militaries in the world, so they would send a massive army, so we might need you, by our side," Celestia said. "But then we would be playing into their hands," Luna told her. "It doesn't matter how large your army is I will bolster it with my own Celly and LuLu I can't just stand by and do nothing. The only problem is what about John." I said with a hell of a lot of worry in my voice. "Let's use my mirror," Luna said as she walked up to a full-body mirror then proceed to tap on it, as ripples went across it. "It does not send audio but it will allow us to see what he is doing, all you have to do is think about him, and he will appear in the mirror." She explained. I shakily walked up to the mirror and touched the side causing an image to appear of a round table. In one chair was John, and in the 7 others were Stick people that had unique characteristics, such as the lava swordwraith having eyes, and in the center of the table was a large map with small figures of his troops. "And from there we will fortify our border," John said suddenly as he waved his hand to move many of the figures, to a line drawn on the map. "Looks like he already knows that demons are gonna attack him again," I said. Then Kefla spoke. "Now onto a pressing matter, we need to find out when they are going to attack next, we don't even know how many there are." She said. "Oh, I wish there was a way to communicate with them. I need to let him know they are gonna attack soon." I said while waving my hands around wildly, that was when the Magikill seemed to notice me. "Emperor it seems your wife is using some kind of scrying spell, and she looks worried." He said stroking his beard. "Where is she, Merlin?' He asked but Merlin didn't answer. " Luna is there a way to communicate with ponies on the other end of this?" "Yes though normally to communicate, it requires two mirrors, but you can write something." She told me. Overjoyed at being able to let them know about the threat I breathed on the mirror and wrote backward 'they will attack soon'. "It seems she is telling us they will attack soon," Merlin told everyone. "Then we don't have time to waste," John said standing up, as the image faded. "Thanks, Lulu for that it helped that I could warn him and now that we know that Merlin can see the scrying mirror we can communicate simple messages to John through him," I said giving Luna a big hug. "Now then we must also prepare for battle, are you sure you can fight?" Celestia asked me with worry. "I'm going to send for my 'handmaidens'. With my armor I will be fine to do battle as long as they don't use silver weapons on me I will heal in a matter of seconds. If they do use silver it will take about a minute to heal a small cut." I explained. "And the babies?" Luna asked. "I'm still relatively early in the pregnancy so it should be fine. Right?" I asked while rubbing my belly. "Ok Celestia you sent a letter to the general, I and Kylie will get our armor," Luna told Celestia. Celestia then left the room, leaving me and Luna alone. "GNARL!" I yelled into the link with urgency. "Yes, mistress?" Gnarl said as he replied. "I need my four handmaidens, my armor, and our whole stores of minions. WE.ARE.GOING.TO WAR." I told Gnarl. "Yes, my mistress." He said, and I could tell he was grinning. A few minutes later we could hear screaming coming from the town and a few minutes later Private Straight Arrow showed up followed by my handmaidens, who are the strongest of the Elites, carrying my armor. "These 4 are here to see you, my princess." He said. "Thank you, Arrow may I call you Arrow?" I asked and he nodded. As soon as that exchange was done, my handmaidens rushed into the room and started fussing over me and helping me take off my dress and put on my armor that shifted as it got closer to me. "Mistress after this battle you should take it easy until the babies come. It's not good to put undue stress on them or yourself while they are in the womb." Angela my head handmaiden said. "I agree with them after this you should go back to John he seems to be a good stallion," Luna said as she started putting on her armor that somehow manifested out of nowhere. "But I came to stay with you till they are born. I figured you would want to get to know your nieces and nephews especially since if anything happens to us you two will be taking care of them." I said. "I know but this is an important time for you and John you should stay together," Luna said before hugging me. "Fine. But I will need a scrying mirror to let you know when it's time." I said in a tone that broached no argument. "Of course," she said letting go of me. (8 hours later) "Are you sure they will pass through here," Celestia asked a soldier. "Yes, they will be here soon." He said and the odds weren't good the demon army was 4 times larger than Equestria's so Celestia decided to make their stand at a choke point to even the odds we were between two mountains that made sure they couldn't outflank us. Even with my 10,000 browns, 40 Lycan Browns, 400 greens, 80 blues, 100 Elites, my handmaidens, and me, we were still outnumbered 2 to 1. "Ye take the low road and we'll take the high road and we'll be to Castle Town before ye." I sang to myself my version of Loch Lomond. "They'll be here soon you should prepare yourself," Luna said as she looked through a telescope. "I am prepared. Prepared to rip some heads off their shoulders." I growled. Soon the sounds marching could be heard echoing off the mountain as Luna said. "Looks like you'll get your chance at that." I looked off into the distance to see the massive black army approaching weapons in hand, and I said a large group of them carrying silver weapons ranging from swords to bows and arrows to axes to mauls. 'Gnarl send in the Greens once they clear the canyon entry.' I ordered through the link 'Yes mistress, but are you sure you can do this?' Gnarl asked. 'Do what Walnut brains?' I asked sweetly. 'This battle is not in your favor, you can just leave this to the minions.' He told me. 'Unlike the minions, I can't be killed by mortal blades.' I replied. 'Fair enough.' He said as the army grew closer. "You've been quiet," Celestia said. I turned to her and said. "I was talking to Gnarl about my inability to die from mortal blades." Soon the Equestrian army started to take their positions as the demon horde started to charge towards us at full speed. Celestia stepped forward saying. "RANGED UNITS AT THE READY." She said using the canterlot voice. 'Now Gnarl!' I called through the link. Soon the greens took off disappearing from sight as Celestia said. "Fire!" And not even a second later spells and arrows filled the air as they rained down in the demons not causing much of a dent in the overall army. Then the work of the greens became apparent as 400 hundred demons fell dead before the greens retreated to the walls and became visible halfway up. "Lycan Browns charge the demons but stay away from the silver wielders! Elites make a path to the head honchos so we can take them out! Browns follow the path the Elites make and takedown any stragglers!" I commanded. They did as I ordered as they charged through the middle of the demon horde, and that was when they finally reached the Equestrian army and shouts, and screams filled the air along with the sounds of battle. ‘Gnarl what is the death count so far for our side?’ I asked quickly 'For the Equestrians, I don't know but minions we have lost two hundred browns already no Lycans yet they're holding their own.' He informed me. ‘Well keep me updated on any major changes in our forces. Now, where are the silver wielders I have a mace with their name on it.’ I said as I brandished Apocalyptor. 'It seems they are staying in a group, and they already have you in their sights.' He told me. “Well let's get down to business and bust some heads.” I yelled 'And Mistress are you sure you want to go in with a mace we just finished your new sword, we made from master John's sword.' Gnarl told me. ‘Bitchin, send that sword here now!’ I said with excitement. 'Of course mistress.' He said then a node opened up next to me as a sword was thrown through and started floating in the air next to me. "They added their own touch to it, of course, they were very excited to have something like this, and they managed to alter the enchantment to where it doubles the life force of those you kill with it.' He explained. ‘Ah, perfect thanks Gnarl for the Bitchin sword!’ I said taking it from the air next to me and rushing the first Silver Wielder. It wielded an axe and brought it over his head with the intent to cut off my head but instead, I cut off its arms, then I caught the handle of the ax careful not it touch the sliver then threw it at another that wielded silver embedding it in its head. '2 down.' I thought as I moved on to another this one has a short sword. I used my sword’s longer blade to stab him before he could do the same to me, but then I felt immense pain in my arm as I saw a dagger in it. I saw the one that did it then bite his head off before pulling the dagger out. I lost myself in the battle all I could see were limbs flying every time I swung my new sword, and the bodies of those that I had killed. I didn't know how long I had fought, and frankly, I didn't care but then I felt two hands on my shoulders. "Kylie are you ok?" One asked with worry. I spun around and started to swipe at them before I saw it was Celestia and Luna. I just barely stopped my claws from slicing into their faces too much only leaving slight cuts on their cheeks. They both stepped back in shock at seeing me like this. “Your eyes they're red!” Luna exclaimed. "What's happening to you?" Celestia asked. “It's a condition called The Blood-Lust it affects all Greater Lycans in the heat of battle,” I said as my eyes slowly lost their red tint and returned to gold. "Well at least your back to normal now, should we go see how john's battle went?" Luna asked. “Yes let’s,” I said. We walked through the battlefield as I gave Gnarl orders to collect the bodies of our fallen Ponies and minions alike for burial and rebirth respectively and to have the regular Browns gather all the silver weaponry, the corpses of the demons and also all the life force for research.
Chapter 5The War Continues {two hours later} “Jeez, it took forever to get our forces through the nodes!” I said exasperatedly. "Well it's possible John's army is still traveling to the battle," Luna said as we arrived in the city to see a few exhausted Magikills sitting around. “SOLDIERS WHAT HAPPENED HERE?” I asked the Magikills. "We're tired from teleporting all 50,050 troops of the emperor's army to the border to fight the demons army, but we still might have enough energy to send you three if you want?" One of them replied with a female voice. (1hour 40 minutes earlier) "Great job creating that spell Merlin now once we create a gate or something that can use the spell automatically we can it will be a great assist," I told Merlin, and he nodded his head in appreciation. "Now then Have the Magilills make their minions, they will be the first line of defense," I told him before he walked away. "And what if us your majesty?" Kefla asked as she stood between the rest of my new generals except Will Smith, he wasn't meant for combat. I had a total of ten thousand of each combat unit, plus 50 healers scattered around the army "So how far away are they?" I asked. "From what we have gathered at least 10 miles most of the army is mostly made of the larger ones that Kylie fought before plus a large red-winged demon leading them," Kefla told me. "Good the more we know about our enemy the better the minions will charge the enemy first, speartons will take a defensive position, and make sure they don't outflank us, Atlas you summon your minions as well, Elisabeth go to your archers well need you to lower their numbers, and to take out that demon if he takes to the air. Alexander I trust you, and your troops to deal with demons that break through the speartons." I said, and he nodded before quickly running off. "Jessica try to help however you can, and don't get hurt," I said, and she bowed while she put a hand on her chest. "Yes, your majesty." She said before standing upright and walking off. "I will take my spot at the front of the army," Kefla said before she started to walk off, but I said. "Are you sure you should be at the front?" I asked her. "Yes, I had acquired a new skill that will be most useful it is called honor guard." She said then a screen popped up in front of me. Would you like to see information on honor guard Y/N I pressed Y then another screen popped up Honor guard A skill that requires a shield, and when used in a shield wall it creates a magical barrier that combines the defenses, and effects of all shields in the shield wall After looking at it I nodded at Kefla, and she walked off I sorted for her she was the first unique one I created so I almost thought of her as a daughter. I drew my sword, as I saw the army 3 times the size of mine marching over the horizon. I approached the front of the army just behind the Speartons as they formed a shield wall, that was a mixture of colors. The demons army started to charge as they saw my army, and once they were in range the 50,050 minions ran between us towards the demons as arrows, and spell flew past them hitting the demons, and destroying their formation just enough for the minions to take advantage of it. 'Ok, everything is going good so far.' I thought then something took to the air, it was at least 9 feet tall with two swords . He was flying towards me then a volley of arrows were fired at him, but then they got close they either burst into flame or did absolutely nothing to him. I ran in front of my army so I could deal with him myself, then as he got close he landed on the ground not far from me, as it drew its swords. 'Why do I always get the big one?' I thought as he roared before charging me. 'Well, no use complaining now.' I thought as I held my sword in front of me as I held it with both hands. He swung both his swords at once but I blocked with my sword, and instead of his swords melting I was forced to one knee. He roared in my face which made me smell his horrible breath. "What have you been eating!" I yelled nearly barfing, as I managed to roll to the side. After his sword hit the ground I kicked him in the face, but it didn't seem to do much as he came at me again. I swung my sword, and a slash of bright red energy was launched at him, it explained on contact, and I saw him fly out of the smoke unharmed. 'Come on.' I thought then decided to resort to magic, as I put a hand to the ground as a spike made of stone sprung from the ground, to stab its wing. It worked, and now it was grounded. I got back on my feet, then sheathed my sword knowing magic was more effective. "Finally someone who knows how to have fun?" The demon said" as his injured wing burst into flames before it was completely healed. 'Fire huh let's try ice magic on him.' I thought as I spread out my arm the shards of ice started to form around me, then launched themselves at the demon. Many of them managed to hit but some of them melted before they could hit. When my attack was finished shards of ice stuck out of most of his body but they soon melted and he healed as if nothing happened. 'If I can't kill him I might have it capture him alive.' I thought as his and my army soon collided, and the speartons shoved their spear thought the barrier into the demons. The demons ignored me, and him as they moved around us not caring. "So 1 on 1 i thought you would call in your minions," I said. "I like a fair fight it's more fun that way." He said before charging me. I drew my sword again and deflected his attacks as best as I could but even with my time 10 strength, he was still stronger than me. "After I kill you I'll go see how the battle in Equestria went we had a few hundred with silver weapons she should be feeling like she's burning from the inside out by now." He said with a grin then I dropped my sword tightly as I heard a female voice in my head. 'RAGE activated power level 12.' Suddenly I pushed him off me. "Oh, you getting angry come on get angry." He said hopping around with a grin. 'Level raised to 17.' I lunged at the demons and swung my sword sending a large wave of energy at the demon. "You've already tried that do something new." He said as he let it hit him but this time when the smoke cleared he was bleeding badly, and laughed madly. "Better much better let's keep this going," he said while laughing while he healed. I pinned him to the ground then proceeded to punch him in the face. 'Level raised to 18.' I punched him again a crater started to form under his head. 'Level raised to 19.' His face started to heal as it burst into flames but I punched him again my fist burned but I didn't care as I punched him again. 'Level raised to 20.' My fist burned even more as I hit him again. My surroundings faded away as I just kept punching till the pain, as well faded into nothing as well until nothing mattered to me anymore as I felt power continue to course through me with every punch. All of a sudden a voice broke through the haze. "John, John please snap out of it." Suddenly my arms were restrained, so I looked to see arms wrapped around me, then I looked behind me to see Kylie with Tears in her eyes as she looked at me with a black eye. Suddenly everything started to come back into existence as I saw the battle had ended. "Kylie what happened to you?" I asked, and try to put a hand on her cheek but an immense pain ran up my arms as I saw my arms were burned from my hands to halfway up my forearms, and I could feel the broken bones in my hands. Kylie called for a medic and a whole medical corp of healers showed up and started working on me. "Please help him!" She said worriedly. Jessica walked up to Kylie before putting a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry he'll be alright with us." She told her then she healed her eye. "To answer your question John you elbowed me hard while I was trying to restrain you.." Kylie told me with no clear emotion in her voice but she had a very contemplative look on her face. "I'm so sorry it's just when he told me he sent hundreds with silver weapons after you, I got so angry that something I hadn't told you activated," I said my voice filled with regret. "Was it a skill called Blood-Lust?" She asked. "No it was a skill called rage, the angrier I got the more powerful I became, and I was overwhelmed by it," I said as I looked around to see we were sitting in a rather large crater, and the demons head looked to be smashed to pieces, but still healed extremely slowly. "Let's go home, John," Kylie said as she walked closer to the demon. Then all of a sudden the demon stood up and grabbed her by the neck. "Kylie!" I yelled while standing up, then I made a spike appear right below the demon causing it to yell and drop Kylie on her back from seven feet off the ground causing a loud *CRACK* to be heard. I ran over to her, then my soldiers tackled the demon to the ground before tying him up. "Kylie are you ok?" I asked. "I, I, I can't feel my legs." She said confusedly. The healers rushed over to help her." You're going to be ok we'll get you back to the castle so we can make everything better." I said with worry. "John what if the fall did something to our babies?" Kylie said nearly in tears. "Don't think that let's just get you home," I said before picking her up. “I can't help it, that was a hard fall that broke at least 6 vertebrae in my back and severed my spinal cord.” she cried. "Merlin!" I shouted then he appeared next to me. "Yes, sir." He said. "Can you teleport, me and Kylie to the castle?" I asked then he nodded before teleporting us to the castle in moments. {This Point Of View is under the ownership of: The Overlady Kylie} As soon as we returned to the castle I immediately called Gnarl for a medical corp of Blues and my handmaidens. When they arrived the Blues took me from John carefully and laid me on my stomach and got to work resetting my spine into place before my regeneration factor could make me unable to walk due to misaligned vertebrae. John was looking frantically in his spell books for something that could help me as they worked making me nervous that he has no faith in my Blues abilities “Johnathan Harlock you stop that right now and let my minions do their jobs!” I yelled at him. "You expect me to do nothing after you were hurt, and after what I did?" He asked. “I expect you to be a good boyfriend and have patience while the medics do their job,” I said with a surprising amount of calmness. He took a deep breath before sitting down, and I could see his arms were shaking, my only guess it wasn't completely healed yet. "I'm sorry i just can't relax right now, just everything's happening so suddenly." He said looking at his shaking hands with fear. A few minutes later the Blues were done fixing my vertebrae and putting them back into place and now it was just a waiting game till I got my mobility back. It felt like hours but was probably just a couple of minutes I regained feeling in my legs and tried to stand up but immediately fell. John saw this then ran over to me to help me up." Try to be a little more careful, I'll take you to our room so you can rest." He said. “Thanks, John I guess I'm not back at full strength yet maybe some rest would do me good,” I said feeling tired just from the walk to our room He laid me down on the bed then took off my armor leaving me naked. "Here you just sleep I'll just um go train." He said. “Oh no, you don’t you're cuddling with me while I sleep,” I said grabbing his arm. He looked at me with regret before saying. "I just want to calm myself down my generals should be back soon plus I need to check my level plus I don't think we should have special time right now, and with you, like this, I might not be able to resist." He said. I pouted. “I just wanted some comfort while I'm in pain nothing more,” I said. He blushed looking over me again then got into bed next to me before putting the blanket over both of us. “Night my love,” I said kissing him right before I fell asleep. (Demon General'sPOV) "I'm sorry my lord the armies have been defeated, and the leader of the stick people survived," I said as I kneeled with my head held low. The demon lord was silent before saying. "No matter today we have learned something of great importance, it seems your not as big of a failure as I thought." He said then I brought my head up. "What do you mean?" I asked and as his shadowy figure floated around. "You may not have opened the gates but you weakened them greatly, allowing much more powerful demons through the greater fire demon that I sent is proof of that, and now that we can send demons of his caliber, it will be simple to kill that weak fool." He said while clenching his fist. "And what of the Lycan?" I asked. "She is mine or deal with Faust gave her blood so mere demons can't kill her so we can't waste resources in her, even so, this emperor is more troublesome his army is growing rapidly, and his warriors are skilled it his he still the weak link since he is mortal, and with him gone his people will be without a leader and the Lycan will only have her small creatures at her side to protect her, and once she is cornered and I am free I will decide what to do with her, and now I will send my demon horde through no more constructs, now these mortals will feel the wrath of the true demon horde." "And what of me?" I asked then he turned to face me. "Yes, what about you the one who has failed me time and time again." He said then it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest as I fell to the ground but then it stopped. "But unlike many of my previous generals you have remained loyal to the very end, a trait very rarely seen among our kind." He said then he got on my knee beside me. "So as a reward for your loyalty you will be reborn stronger than you've ever been before." He said then pain engulfed my entire being. "But first you will have to die." {This Point Of View is brought to you by John} After Kylie went to sleep I got out of bed to see my level, I was now level 80 a huge jump, and with 420 skill points, I could get whatever I wanted from my skill shop. I looked for a bit until I saw an interesting one. magic constructs Allows the user to create constructs with magic the limits is what you can imagine the mana cost for each construct depends on size and power, but as skill increases mana cost decreases. I bought it for 20 skill points then continued to search till I found a that sounded rather familiar. Mana clone Create a clone from mana can do everything the original can and disappears when killed or dispelled once that happens all its memories return to the caster this can also be used for training to increase the level of separate skills at one or can be used in combat I bought it for 50 leaving 350 remaining. 'this is going to take a while.' I thought as I continued I had to be ready for anything ' Maybe some passive skills.' I thought as I found several that increased my combat capabilities. Instinct It allows the user to predict their opponent's next attack. psionic protection It allows the user to negate psychic attacks on their person and mind. Memory safe combat style It allows the user to store combative moves they have observed allowing the user to master them. I bought them for 50points so 300 left I then went back through the skills to try something I could use, then I found something that could be useful. power of Kings Grants the ability to wield the ring of Lucii 'Wait what that ring is in the store?' Thought then quickly look for it, and it was there then I looked back at the skill to see it cost 300. 'Well sounds fair consider what it gives me.' I thought then bought then followed by quickly buying the ring. But something happened when I bought the ring when it landed in my hand, it felt as though I was carrying a heavy burden simpler to how to notice, and Luna felt when they held it in the game. I put it on then the crystal in the ring glowed and pain engulfed me as I fell to the floor, but I held in my scream careful not to wake Kylie. I slowly managed to get to my feet, then left the room, as the pain started to fade, a small price to pace for the power the ring grants me. I quickly went over all the abilities in my head the first spell drains the life force of my enemy, then there is the holy ability that activates when I dodge lastly there is the Alterna a spell that breaks open the fabric of reality to and suck the enemies inside the crystal sphere that appears into a black hole, but this ring could also give me the ability to warp. I went outside so I could recover from my painful experience then I thought it would be best to use mana clones to train. I created 10 clones using a lot of mana to do so they wouldn't vanish early then they started doing their thing. 'Now with this, I'll be more prepared now than to interrogate my prisoner.' I thought as I headed towards the dungeon. (Time Skip morning) {This Point Of View is under the ownership of The Overlady Kylie} I woke up in a cold bed. Reaching behind me I found that John wasn't there. I got up and called for my handmaidens. “Yes, mistress. What can we do for you?” They chorused. “Yes, can you get me one of my dresses and some undergarments I need to find John,” I said smiling at them showing all of my teeth at which they smiled back and went to get me a new dress. When they returned we found a problem even with the sizing enchantment the dress didn't fit because I had started to gain a belly. “What should we do Mistress?” Three of my handmaidens chorused but Angela had a thoughtful look on her face. “What is it, Angela? You know you can speak freely with me.” I said with a kind of a smile as I could in my Lycan form. “What if we sent for Snips to make something special for you that would stretch while your belly stretched? That way we won't run into this problem again in the coming days.” to say that my smile was from ear to ear wouldn’t be an exaggeration. “Ah, Mistress what can Snips do for you today? Do you need another new dress to entice the future mate?” he asked as he walked into the room. “Not exactly. I need a dress that will stretch as my belly gets bigger throughout my pregnancy.” I told the tailor minion. “Ah yes I already made something for this." He said pulling a black dress with an exposed belly out of nowhere. I tried it on with the help of my handmaidens and I couldn't help but squee. “*SQUEE* Its perfect Snips and the open belly gives me room to grow out,” I said hugging him to my chest and jumping up and down. “Mistress can't breathe.” Snips said as I looked down and he looked more like a Blue than a Green. Seeing this I let him go and apologized. “Snips sorry again. Ladies attend me we are going to find John!” I ordered as I started loping out of the room followed closely by my handmaidens floating after me only to bump into someone right outside my room it was Kefla. “I'm sorry Kefla I was in a hurry and wasn’t looking where I was going.” "No worry where are you going anyway?" She asked me as she recovered, then dusted herself off. “To find John he wasn't in bed with me when I woke up so I decided to go look for him,” I replied. "He's in the dungeon interrogating the demon." She told me. “Well, maybe I should just wait until he comes back up,” I said "And he's been down there all night." She added. “Oh well someone needs to go get him.” "I'll take you down there, but I saw something strange, when he went down there, he wore a strange ring?" She said as she started walking. Knowing what I did about him and he only wore functional jewelry I decided to probe Kefla for more information. “What did the ring look like?” I asked. "It was mostly black and but it also has a copper rim but it was too far away to pick out the finer details." She said. “Did you see a diamond on it?” I asked, then she nodded her head. Panicked I started running towards where his scent was strongest but then all of a sudden his scent stopped. "Why are you running?" Kefla asked me as she caught up. “Because that ring has a sacrifice clause attached to it!” I said in a panic starting to hyperventilate. "I'm sure he knows about this, and has prepared but let's hurry to be sure." She said as she ran in front of me till we reached the dungeon, then screaming could be heard but it wasn't Johns. I ran towards the screaming and saw John using the life drain ability on the demon. "For the last time tell me what you know!" John yelled as he used it again as the glowing cracks spread across his arm but when he stopped they slowly healed and when I looked at the demon he looks like he was nothing but skin and bone nothing like it was in the game. “John you’re killing the demon you have to stop before you are no better than them,” I said trying to get him to stop before it was too late. He looked at me for a moment before turning back to the demon, and after taking a deep breath he sat down on a vacant chair as his arm healed. "He refuses to talk." He simply said. “John let me take a crack at him I have a feeling that I can get him to crack,” I said with a menacing smile. "You won't break me." The demon struggled to say. “Really because I have a group of minions that specialize in torture and information gathering.” I threatened and yet the demon just glared at me and said nothing. “Angela come in here and bring the others in with you!” I ordered harshly. All four of them rushed into the cell and lined up with Angela right next to me. “What are your orders Mistress?” They all chorused. “Find out what this demon knows but don't kill it. Report whatever you find directly to either me or John no one else!” I ordered then grabbed John by the hand and led him out of the cell and back towards the main floor of the castle. We were almost there when the screaming started. “PLEASE! STOP! NO MORE! I CAN'T TELL YOU!” The demon screamed. "So I got a few new skills while you were asleep," John told me. “Oh, what are they other than the Ring of Lucii? Which by the way i think is too dangerous to use.” "Magic constructs, Mana clone, instinct, psionic protection. Memory safe combat style and the one that allows me to use the ring is power of Kings, and while it is dangerous the power it offers is undeniable." He told me. “I don't want you using that power until we can be sure it won't kill you. I don't want you dying and leaving our pups without a father.” I said starting to cry. He put a hand on my cheek and looked me straight in the eye with tears in his eyes as well. "I know you're worried about me and the pups, but I'm trying to make a world where they can live in peace, and you might hate me for saying this but if I have to sacrifice myself to ensure that my beautiful wife and children can have a good life then I will, your immortal Kylie I'm not someday I will grow old and die and leave you alone, but I want to make sure you are happy even after I'm gone." He said then kissed my forehead before taking his hands off my cheek. Reeling back I slapped him so hard that I wouldn't doubt the sound was heard throughout the whole city. With tears welling up anew in my eyes. “You idiot!” I screamed and ran off away from him. {This Point Of View is brought to you by John} After Kylie ran off I was overwhelmed with guilt, but I had told her the truth, and when I wanted to go after her my legs froze. I decided to go outside to clear my head but even then guilt still raged through my mind as I sat on a tall wall with my legs over the side, then I started to get tired from staying up all night. I rubbed my eyes then looked at my room's window to see Kylie’s figure in it. 'Maybe I shouldn't have said that even if it was the truth.' I thought as I looked back at the ground, and at my ring, I could hear faint whispers in my mind ever since I put it on but I mostly ignored them until now. They were too faint to make out but they were still there, and I regretted ever buy it so I tried to take it off only to see it was somehow permanent. I was too tired to care about that, as I closed my eyes to try to take a quick nap. {This Point Of View is under the ownership of The Overlady Kylie} I ran and ran and ran until I got back to our room then I flung myself on the bed and continued to cry. After I finished crying I got pissed at John for how inconsiderate he was then I started to berate my unborn children for their father’s actions then I went back to crying because I saw that I was being irrational. I walked over to the window and looked out over the city seeing how beautiful it was in the light of day. Looking out to the walls I could just barely see a figure sitting down on the wall. ‘I wonder if that’s John?’ I thought. I looked down at him with regret before thinking ‘I should go down there.’ I did just that and a few minutes later I was standing right below him. “HEY JOHN!” I yelled up to him. He didn’t respond so I climbed up to see him sleeping soundly but the tear trails along his face were obvious to anyone that took a close look. Seeing this I just picked him up and jumped down making a crater where I landed. I then proceeded to carry him to our room and place him on the bed then I got in next to him and just laid there enjoying his company even if he was sleeping, and just before I closed my eyes his arms wrapped themselves around me, and I heard him mutter. "I'm sorry." “All’s forgiven, my prince,” I said Author's Note as always please leave a like or dislike and comment on the story. I would especially want to know how I can make the story better.
