Kingdom of Monsters


Chapter 8


Chess of Corruption


        This is bad, this is very very bad! Luna thought as she moved to the far side of her room. She needed to find that chess board. It was the only way to solve this. At least it could stall until Celestia woke up. She’s coming! The night princess thought as she set up the chess board. She spent the next five minutes trying to calm herself down. She almost succeeded until Eclipse teleported in.
        “How are you doing, Luna?” Eclipse said casually as she sat down opposite of Luna.
        “Fine, I assume you know how this chess game will work,” Luna said in the best monotone she could muster.
        “It makes sure that the bet that is made over it must come true, as long as it is possible, right?” Eclipse stated as her scales curled around the chair. Luna nodded.
        “How about this, if you win I submit to you, if you will stop your conversation effort entirely,” Luna probused.
        “Works for me, now then, lets begin!” The lamia said as the chess board glowed. The game had begun.



        “You know, you could always join willingly,” Eclipse said as she moved her knight.
        “Why would I do that?” Luna asked.
      “Simple, everypony must die, right?” Luna nodded. “Well, to be blunt, monsters don’t die.”
Luna gasped, they were immortal. How is that possible? It didn’t matter they were still converting ponies against their will. They were still evil. Or are they? “All you have to do is forfeit. Then you will never be alone.” Eclipse said to Luna with a smirk. Luna kept playing, but it was clear that Eclipse had already won. That broke Luna’s resolve for good.  As Eclipse finally checkmated the lunar princesses, she looked as if this is what she wanted and Eclipse’s scales were already around her.
“Now then, time to welcome you to the kingdom,” after she said this she let the darkness that was flowing out of her to touch Luna. Making her buckle and shake. Her legs turned into a shenake’s tail. Her fur turned into scales and both became a green shade. Luna was drowned out in the power she now felt. Her memories replaced with the need to serve her new queen.
Eclipse Serpent felt amazing as power washed over her. Her eyes became cat like slits. Her mane turned into miniature snakes with glowing green eyes. Then the darkness came. Her thoughts were now full of hate and spite. Her love of learning and knowledge replaced with a hate for ponykind and anything that was not devoted to her and her alone along with the ability to hide it.
As she let go of the new lamia, she said, “Welcome to the darkness, Slit.” Eclipse picked the name just to show that she was in charge. 
“Thank you for the welcome,” Slit said as the last drop of disobedience was drained from her mind. Her cutie mark reappeared as a snake biting the moon. Her tongue became forked and she gained a lisp as Equestra lost one of it’s princess to the darkness once again.
