My vision fades in from white and I see myself in a place that looks similar to the ruined castle in the forest, except looking well maintained and furnished. It appears to be a throne room and I look around until I spot Luna on the night themed throne with a look of thought on her face.

"Hello, Luna," I greet the small blue alicorn who yelps and looks up at me.

"Damien? How art thou in our dream?" she asks me with confusion.

I just shrug as I walk over to her and sit down on the sun themed throne next to her. "Maybe you pulled me here? I don't know anything about dream magic or whatever it is. So why were you looking so glum?" I reply and ask her, these thrones aren't that comfortable... how did they stand sitting on these things?

"Oh, our thoughts were of thee," she tells me and I raise an eyebrow at her. "Not like that, we art worried as Twilight Sparkle arrived at Canterlot asking to access the Elements. We believe she wishes to hunt thee down for the... condition thou left our sister in," she replies with a frown.

"Ah, she wants revenge. And is she still in Canterlot?" I ask her.

"Verily, they art in guest rooms and plan to track thee down come morning. Our sister hast also ordered guards to track thee, we knowest thou art at Frost Wind Peak, both from the reports and where we canst sense thy dreaming body," she tells me with a sigh.

'So, the elements will be chasing us,' I think to myself and rub my chin in thought.

"We ask thee not to harm the Element Bearers, they art young and Miss Sparkle is just angry at thee for hurting her mentor..." Luna pleads with me.

"And what would you have me do? I have no desire to have the Elements used on me if what Selene has told me they can do is true," I reply with a frown.

"Selene? Who is this Selene?" Luna asks confused.

"Your other half, we decided it would be best if she had a new name, but besides that, what would you suggest I do?" I reply and ask again.

"Thou canst simply take one of their Elements and the rest would be powerless, we also ask if thou engages any more guards to simply knock them out. Our sister is already ashamed she let thee defeat her and that our other half had you spare her... she's angry, planning her next move and is trying to recover enough to enact it," she tells me with worry. "We hast never seen our sister this angry before besides Tirek... we believe she has a vendetta against demons," Luna then says.

"I see, did Tirek take someone special from her? A friend or lover?" I ask her and stand up, damn chair is hurting my ass.

"We cannot remember, we do not recall much before our banishment... unless those memories art with our other ha... we mean Selene," she replies and faintly smiles. "Tis a beautiful name she has chosen," she says.

"Well, her body is now fully formed and now she's just waiting for her magic to fully return, maybe you could contact her when she sleeps next? Or maybe right now?" I suggest as I think of a snickers bar and surprisingly it appears in my hand. "Hey, do you think you could teach me how to lucid dream?" I ask her and take a bite from it.

"That depends if thou hast an affinity for dream magic, if not, thou canst always ask our... twin to aid thee," she replies. "As for Selene, we would like to visit her. We shall return thee to thy own dream and leave thee lucid for tonight. Goodnight, Damien, and we thank thee," Luna tells me as my vision goes white again and I find myself in my old house on the couch.

I then feel movement to my right and spot Desire with a confused expression. "Where the buck am I?" she mutters and then looks at me. "Damien? Wow this is a weird dream... though I'm not going to complain," she says with a giggle before smiling lustfully and crawling on top of me.

"Desire? How did you get into my dream?" I ask her and then think about it, was it Luna that brought her here?

"Your dream?" she asks with a frown.

I sigh and begin explaining about Luna and her dream magic.

"Oh I see... do you think Selene could join us?" she asks with a sultry grin. I just roll my eyes and decide to see what Desire thinks about video games.

I yawn and scratch my beard as I wake up. Desire is still cuddling me with a content smile on her face after our night of passion and dreams, damn she's better at splatoon than I thought she would be... Then again she said the game looked like the characters were just jizzing everywhere so that might be what intrigued her to play so well.

I take a few sniffs and besides our strong scent of lust and arousal, the putrid smell of a freshly rotting corpse fills my senses.

"Fuck that's nasty," I comment and slowly get out of Desire's grasp as she whines from losing her grip on my body.

I yawn again as I get just my underwear and trousers back on before grabbing the dragon corpse by the tail but then wonder how I'm going to drag it out the cave as the body is too big to fit through the tunnel.

'How did this bastard get in and out then?' I wonder to myself as I summon my scythe and begin carving the body into smaller chunks.

Once done I wrap a tendril around the pieces and begin dragging them out down the tunnel. I arrive at the end to see Selene on a makeshift bed with a silk blanket wrapped around her with her dress beside her on the ground neatly folded. Gilda is laying in a pile of sheets in the shape of a bird's nest snoring lightly on her back, just exposing herself.

I roll my eyes at her and quietly walk past towards the entrance and toss the chunks of rotting meat off the mountain. I then walk over to Selene and lightly tap her shoulder. "Hey, time to get up," I tell her and she mumbles incoherently and rolls over. I sigh and poke her shoulder again continuously until she finally wakes up.

"Sister we art up, cease thy incessant prodding..." she mutters and sits up as her blanket falls off revealing her chest.

"I ain't your sister," I tell her while keeping my eyes on her face.

She yelps and covers herself up with a faint blush and a scowl towards me. "Sir Damien! Why art thou here!?" she demands.

"It's time to get up and get ready to go," I tell her and then walk over to Gilda and give her a light kick. "Get up, we're leaving," I tell her and then start walking back towards the main cavern to wake up Desire.

I arrive to see Desire getting dressed in a new pair of clothes, a pair of black shorts that look a size or two too small and a white silk shirt exposing a lot of cleavage.

"Hey, stud! What do you think? Now we match!" she tells me with a smile and her forked tongue sticking out slightly, why does she try to keep giving me heart attacks?

"You look beautiful, but we need to start making our way out, so grab a bag and start filling it with gold coins," I reply and tell her as I put on my shirt and coat as well as pick up the pack I loaded yesterday. She then straps on my rifle's holster to her back and checks the rifle's chamber, satisfied that it's loaded fully, she holsters it and begins collecting gold coins while avoiding silver ones.

Selene -now in her dress- and Gilda both walk in a few minutes later as I make sure we have everything we need.

"Good morning, Sir Damien, Lady Desire," Selene greets us as Gilda yawns.

"Hi, Selene! So how're you feeling?" Desire asks her while slinging her new pack full of gold over her shoulder.

"We art well, having our own body again is wonderful, though all that remains is to restore our magic," the black alicorn replies.

"Did Luna visit you last night?" I ask out of curiosity.

"Luna? Nay, she didst not..." she replies with a confused expression.

"I see, I spoke with her last night, she said she would visit you, but I guess something stopped her or she can't," I say and head towards the exit. "Either way we'll have to wait for her to contact me again to find out why, but she also told me the Elements are coming and that we have guards tracking us and know where we are so we need to leave now," I tell them.

"Very well, Sir Damien. Lead on," Selene says and we all leave the cave, only to find a squad of twenty guards waiting for us.

We just stand here looking at each other for a minute before one of them speaks up. "Demons, I am Sergeant Broadshield, you will answer for the murder of twelve royal guards and injuring Princess Celestia. Surrender peacefully and we shall grant you all swift deaths," an old looking guard demands of us.

I stare at him for a few seconds before bursting out in laughter. "You think you're a threat to us? I slaughtered your guards due to their attempts to kill me and my wife, but I can tell there's no point in trying to reason with you. Here's my demands, fuck off or I'll rip out all of your hearts," I tell them making a few flinch.

The Sergeant raises his hand and then swings it down. I frown as I wonder what he's doing before and arrow hits me in my left shoulder.

"GRRAAAAHH!" I yell out in agony as I dodge more arrows while ripping out the arrow in my shoulder and toss it away, damn thing is made of silver! "Get back inside!" I tell Desire and the others as I summon my scythe and charge at the Sergeant without warning.

Before he could draw his sword I cut him in half by the waist and rip out his soul... 'Fuck, I just remembered Luna asked me not to kill them...'

"Sergeant!" one of the other guards yells and thrusts a spear which also looks like it's made from silver.

I lean out of the way and grip the shaft of the spear making my shoulder wound flare with pain, I ignore it though and pull the spear from his hands where I slam it into the side of his head knocking him out and shattering the shaft of the spear.

As he drops to the floor the archers begin shooting arrows at me again and I avoid them by slipping into the Shadow Realm.

"Where did it go!?" another guard shouts out in worry. It? Did he really call me an it!?

I draw my pistol and exit the shadow realm behind the guards and fire a shot into six of the seven remaining archers hands that are holding their bows. The last archer turns and fires an arrow at me which I deflect with my scythe. I go wide eyed as I feel Thanatos cry out in pain from touching the silver.

'Sorry, Thanatos, but I don't think you'll be much more help here,' I tell him and dismiss my weapon.

I then take to the air and quickly reload my pistol, I'll need to conserve ammo now as I only have seventeen shots left. I holster my gun and dive down and land in front of a spear wielding guard and punch him in the gut hard, he collapses while cradling his stomach gasping for breath.

I take his spear and turn to the rest. "I'm giving you a choice, take your injured and leave, or I kill you all here," I threaten them. I then hear the sound of chimes behind me and just barely avoid getting run through by a sword, but I then grunt as the sword cuts the back of my right thigh which is being levitated by one of the horned guards, fucking blade is made of silver as well.

The guard's head who cut me whips back with a hole now between his eyes as the sound of my rifle echoes throughout the mountains.

Seems Desire is now angry.

I turn back to the guards and grin menacingly. "Death it is then," I tell them and coat my hands in darkfire.

"Fallback!" one of the guards yells out and the guards retreat while two of them pick up the corpse of the Sergeant and horned guard.

I keep my eye on them for a few minutes as they leave but a winged guard remains behind pointing his spear at me.

"Aren't you going to go with them?" I ask him with a raised brow and he growls at me.

"You killed my brother back in the Everfree Forest, I'm not leaving until I kill you," he tells me.

I narrow my eyes at him and chuckle. "Boy, if I wanted to I could have killed you and your fellow guards very easily. Don't throw your life away against an opponent you can't beat," I reply with a glare.

He growls in frustration and with a shout of anger flies off after the other guards.

Once he's gone I turn back to the cave. "You can come out now," I tell them and sit down as the cut on my leg and the hole in my shoulder is hurting badly. 'How'd they know about the silver?' I wonder to myself as Desire carefully checks my wounds and wraps them up with some cloth she got from the cave.

"Are you alright?" she asks me with worry.

"I'll be fine, but it'll take me a few hours to heal," I reply and hiss as she wraps my thigh up.

"Are we okay to wait until you heal? Or do you think they'll come back?" Desire asks me and hugs me gently.

"I think we're fine, but as soon as I'm healed we're moving on," I tell her and limp into the cave and lay on the makeshift bed Selene set up earlier.

For the next three hours we discussed what we'll do. Selene and Gilda were starting to get hungry so we decided to find a town where Gilda will buy supplies while the rest of us will find a place to set up camp.

Now that my wounds have healed, we set off where Selene has to carry Gilda due to her being too weak to fly herself yet. We leave the snow capped mountains behind us and fly over a meadow with flowers and wildlife running around. I grin as I spot a lake to our right, so we set down for a late breakfast but Selene looks upset that we don't have anything she can eat.

"Come on, Selene, try some. Those teeth of yours aren't just for show you know, Now that you're part demon you can most likely eat meat now," Desire tells her.

Selene eyes the fish and her newly formed stomach rumbles in hunger. "Very well..." she replies and gingerly takes one of the cooked fish. After a few seconds of just staring at it she finally takes a bite and winces as if it was going to taste foul, but surprisingly she opens her eyes and slowly chews with a curious expression. "Tis not as bad as we thought," she says and takes another bite.

Gilda has some water from the lake while the rest of us don't need to, being a demon at least means no getting thirsty.

Once finished we head off again and after a few more hours of flight we see a town nearby. We land in a woodland area and I hand Gilda a large bag of coins. "We'll wait here for you to return with food, water for you, and anything else you think would be useful," I tell her.

"Alright, though I may have to make a few trips, I don't think I'll be able to carry much yet," she replies and takes the bag.

"We shall go with her as well," Selene says as her horn glows. Her wings disappear and her fur turns light blue, her hair turns solid and is now white with a midnight blue streak through it, her dress also shrinks to match her now shorter height.

"Wow, that's pretty good," Desire says and circles Selene eyeing up her new look.

"Tis only a simple illusion, our wings art just invisible and we art still taller," Selene says.

"Alright, we'll wait here for you and get a campfire going. Try to find some tents while you're at it along with camping gear," I ask Selene.

She smiles and nodded as she and Gilda head off towards the town.

"So, my love. What shall we do while we wait?" Desire asks as she starts cleaning my rifle.

I sit beside her, pull out my pistol and start to clean it as well. "Not much we can do until they get back, just keep an eye out as I don't want to be caught off guard. These bastards have silver weapons and I'm not sure how they know they're effective against us..." I reply and sigh, my leg and shoulder are still sore from the weapons used against me.

So for now Desire and I clean our weapons and wait for the others to return... and my shoulder wound is throbbing again, perfect.

Still working on the Kirsarnia chapter so don't worry.

Next chapter here will be an encounter with the Elements of Harmony.
