//------------------------------// // Envious Wishes // Story: The Sorceress // by MrTyreste //------------------------------// "One-thousand bits, as promised." Twilight spat another satchel onto the ground in front of the beaming mare of darkness. She had actually done it, had gone down to the little settlement of Appleoosa and taken a thousand bits. Greed squealed in delight as she held the money close to her. "Oh baby, this much coinage in one place is enough to set a gal like me off!" She laughed. "Ok kid, my work here is done." She set the bag down and walked away from Twilight Sparkle. "I have a question!" Twilight Sparkle shouted, stopping the pegasus in her tracks. "Is there any way to save all of you?" She asked. For the first time since she saw her, Greed's crooked smile faded from her face. She swallowed as painful memories seemed to return to her. "You heard what Lust said, redemption is not for everypony." She said dryly. "Some of us just can't be saved. I know where I'm goin'." She turned around to face Twilight Sparkle before a portal opened behind her. "I've done horrible things in my life. I've taken advantage of ponies, sold my body for some quick cash, trotted over those important to me. Let's face it, I'm not worth the trouble." She sighed as a portal opened up by her feet. A green mare with a matted, yellow mane came crawling out of the pit-like vortex and stood next to her. "Let's move this along, Greed. I want my turn." She said in a raspy voice as she turned to Twilight. "I...want...my...turn..." She said slowly and painfully as she eyed Twilight up and down, almost like she were sizing her up. "Don't have a cow, Envy. You'll get your turn." She joked. "Be seeing you." Greed fell into the portal as it began to sew itself up with disturbing, black whisps of darkness before vanishing completely. "Envy, was it?" Twilight asked. The mare jumped around as if startled and held her hooves out as though she were going to block something coming at her. "Let me guess, you're going to have me steal something, hurt somepony, betray somepony?" She said flatly, obviously the darkness was getting to her. "Well, something like that...'' She said as she moved over to Twilight, almost too close for comfort, and touched her horn to hers. "What are you-" Twilight felt a strange sensation rush over her, but not something evil. Rather she felt... almost good. It was as though her body felt relieved and happy for some reason or another. "This is normally Lust's domain, but I figure we're both on the same page, here." She winked as Twilight's armour fell from her body. Her horn glowed as a light pink and black aura began to engulf her horn as her eyes closed slightly and her mouth curved into a slight smile. "I feel... really good." She uttered, almost like a moan of satisfaction. "I should hope so, because I really don't have anything for you to do." Envy said. "But I'm sure you'll make us of the spell I gave you, it's an enhancement of sorts." She said shakily. Almost as suddenly as she had appeared, the spirit of Envy shot into Twilight's body as she fell to the ground. "Remember, try to think of something to appease me... Take something from somepony and make it yours..." The shaky voice came from within her as Twilight stood up and smiled. --- "Hey honey?" Sharp Shooter asked as he and his marefriend, Rainbow Dash, perused the library for research on magical entities. Princess Celestia had sent them a letter this morning, asking for Rainbow Dash to do a little research on the subject, considering she was the only one in Ponyville who visited the library more than Twilight Sparkle. "Yeah babe?" Rainbow Dash looked over at her coltfriend, her mane tied into a ponytail and a pair of glasses adorning her eyes as she gazed over a large book on Medieval pony history. "What?" She noticed him smirking slightly at the sight of her new look. "You look so damn cute like that." He chuckled. Rainbow Dash blushed slightly as she playfully pushed him "Oh hush!" She giggled. "What do you need?" "I found something interesting, listen to this." He pulled the book over to her on the desk. The book had a picture depicting a large, demonic swirl of magical energy that was encircling a small pony who looked terrified. "Hatred, one of the spirits of disharmony spoken of in legend, has been the subject of many fears and speculations over the years. It is said that the spirit was accompanied by nine others, and is said to offer deals with the pony in question." He turned the page to show nine spirits circling a pony who now appeared in agony, but with an enormous, albeit painful smile on its face. "Pain, Suffering, Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Envy, Anger, Fraud, and Wrath, while not all together at once, only six may encompass one host at a time until the deal is complete and the spirit released into eternal rest. According to myth..." He flipped the page again to show a demonic entity rising from what looked like a tomb. "The spirit will promise a great power to its host, but in exchange will dramatically shorten to pony's lifespan. Not much else is know." He closed to book and turned to Rainbow Dash. "Think it has anything to do with Twi?" Rainbow Dash looked at him. Twilight had been missing for a few days, and ponies were starting to take notice. "Oh, let's take a break, shall we?" Rainbow Dash ran over to the side of the library and pulled a basket full of sandwiches and fruit out from under one of Twilight's desks. They enjoyed each others' company, and their lunches, whilst they spoke about random things. "Hey, what are you thinking about?" Sharp asked a blushing Rainbow Dash. "Oh, just about the other night." She giggled. "You know, our first?" Sharp began to blush slightly as Rainbow Dash strode over to him, lustfully. "I kinda want to do that again." She was right up on him now, her nose brushing against his. "You think, maybe..." "Heh, we'll see." Sharp kissed her quickly on the nose. "Aw come on, don't make me beg." She giggled. Suddenly, a black blur shot through the door and crashed into Rainbow Dash, knocking her to the ground. "Rainbow Dash! Do you have any idea what time it is?!" Thunderlane stood over her, angrily. "The entire weather team is looking for you, we're way behind!" Rainbow's eyes shot wide-open as she kicked Thunderlane off of her. "Oh crap! I completely forgot!" She undid her hair and threw her glasses at her coltfriend before giving him a kiss on the lips and flying off. "See you in a few hours!" And with that she was gone. Sharp didn't have much to do here, other than read. And read... And read some more... He had nearly fallen asleep when he heard a crack of magic come from upstairs. Hoofsteps came from the stairs as the stallion put his book into the bookcase before the figure at the top of the stairs became visible. A lavender unicorn stood atop the stairs and looked down at the blue stallion. "Twilight Sparkle? When did you-" "Teleportation spell, I figured out how to use it anywhere and anyway I want." The unicorn came strutting down the stairs, looking him up and down as she moved closer and closer. "In fact, I found a way to get anything I want." She licked her lips as she came ever closer to the Pegasus stallion. "Twilight? What are you-" Her horn flashed and he became entranced by her movements as he was little more than a zombie to her affections. This was something she had wanted, what she thought Envy had meant. Taking something somepony else had for her own, and what better than to take her a colt and have a real first time. It wasn't fair that Rainbow Dash had the first new colt in town and had her first time while she had been raped. She knew what she wanted. She kissed his neck as he began to shudder. Sharp's mind didn't want this, but his body was trapped by her spell, and despite all his thinking he couldn't break away. It was as if his mind were trapped in something else, watching his body and everything around him began to go on. "Come get it." She smiled lustfully as she trotted up the steps, followed by the zombified stallion.
