My eyes slowly open after a dreamless sleep with Desire cuddling my right side with my coat acting as a blanket for the both of us. I yawn and just lay here for about thirty minutes listening to the birds nearby chirping. I then feel a weak demonic energy coming our way. 'Must be Fluttershy,' I think to myself and get up which makes Desire groan unhappily as she's also dragged to her feet.

"Why are you up already? Let's sleep for another hour or two!" she whines at me and then yawns.

"The others are coming back and I want to get moving again," I reply to her complaint and walk over to the tents. I look in my tent and spot Twilight still cocooned in my sleeping bag. "Twilight, get up!" I shout at her making her yelp and squirm in the bag, I see the zipper glow purple and pulled down as her head pops out.

"Don't startle me like that!" she yells with a frown on her face.

"Well time to get up, your friends are coming back," I tell her and pull my head out of the tent and then walk over to Selene's and Gilda's shared tent. "Time to wake up!" I tell them and shake the tent slightly.

During the ten minutes of them getting out and dressed, I pile up the corpses of the dead guards and was about to set them on fire before Twilight told me not to so they could at least be sent back to their families for a proper burial. It seems during the night Twilight's bra snapped, so after cutting a couple of holes in the back of her shirt and vest to which she mumbles that Rarity is going to scold her for, we're all up and cooking breakfast with some of our supplies.

After six or seven minutes Twilight's friends arrive and the blue one... Rainbow Dash if I recall is still giving us the stink eye.

"Twilight, are you alright, dear?" Rarity asks her purple friend, all of them look worried for the purple girl.

Twilight nodded and smiles at them. "I'm fine, though I've learned a few things I'm a little uncomfortable with though..." she replies.

"Like what?" Pinkie asks her with a smile.

The girls all chat while I shake my head, their constant chatting and giggling reminds me of when Olivia brought home her friends for sleepovers and talked all night… and I had to chase off a few incuponies trying to get in with them as well.

"...so I now have two different types of magic," Twilight finishes explaining to them.

It seems Fluttershy's heard enough and sits down next to me, I glance at her as she twirls a lock of her pink hair with her fingers. "Can I help you?" I ask her as she seems worried.

"You don't think Princess Celestia would hurt me or Twilight because of how we look now do you?" she asks me after hearing Twilight explain that the Princess could be under a demon's influence.

"It's possible, she attacked me and Desire just for what we are, and she seems to really hate demons from what I could tell. So it is likely she'll either kill you and Twilight to 'end your misery' or lock you away somewhere and try to cure you... Then again she may do nothing," I reply and take a bite of the buttered bread in my hand.

"Whoa! You have wings now!?" Rainbow yells as they take notice of the succupony's new wings.

"Oh, right..." Twilight says a little upset. "I'm not a unicorn anymore..." she says to them sadly as her ears and wings droop down.

"Well if ya ain't a unicorn anymore, what are ya then?" Applejack asks confused.

Desire sits behind Twilight and wraps the upset girl in a hug. "She's like me now, a succupony," she tells them and they gasp.

"You mean like those seducing life sucking demons!?" Rarity asks in shock.

"Life sucking? Where did you hear that from?" Desire asks her with an irritated tone and a frown. Funny that she didn't deny the seducing part.

"Oh erm, from one of my more... questionable novels I've read..." she replies with a slight blush.

"Huh, well we don't suck out anypony's life, we feed off the lust or testosterone of a male to live, although we can transfer that energy to each other as well if we need to, like so," Desire says and surprises everyone by tilting the smaller succupony's head back and kisses Twilight enthusiastically.

Twilight yelps and then moans as she feeds off Desire's energy, which I know I'll have to replace later... Rainbow's and Fluttershy's wings spread wide where I get hit in the face by the latter's leathery wing.

"Oh I-I'm sorry!" Fluttershy says to me and quickly retracts said wing but still has a heavy blush.

I just grumble and sigh, I may be the Overlord of Tartarus, but I just can't bring myself to get angry at anyone who doesn't deserve it.

Everyone is silent while the two demonesses continue to make out and I just rub my temples. After a few more seconds Desire pulls back as her long tongue retracts out of Twilight's throat.

"I'm not sure why but that was hot..." Rainbow comments getting the others to look at her oddly.

"If you're done molesting her, Desire, we need to get going," I tell her and begin to pack up our new camping gear.

That snaps Twilight out of her dazed state at my words. "What? I thought you were going to teach me how to use my demon magic!?" Twilight asks with a frown.

I stop packing and look at her. "We are, that's why you're coming with us, it's also not safe to leave you with Celestia in her current state, unless you want to take that risk, I think Fluttershy will be fine as she has no demonic abilities as far as I can tell, just some physical changes," I tell her as I begin packing away the utensils, going to have to find a lake or river to wash them before using them again.

"What!? I can't just go! I have a Library to look after and Spike as well! What about my studies! And what if the Princess accepts my... change? I can't just up and go!" she replies and begins to panic.

This girl is easy to set off... "Twilight, calm down!" I order her and she relaxes with a sigh.

"Erm, thanks..." she says and shakes her head and rubs her right arm with her left hand nervously.

"Now then, we need to get going before your Princess sends anyone else after us," I say and pick up my pack of coins.

Selene levitates the camping supplies and with a flash of magic they disappear. "What did you do?" I ask her.

"We hast sent it to our personal magic pocket. We can store a limited amount of mass in said pocket and retrieve whatever we have stored there," she replies with a smile.

I notice Twilight's eyes light up at her words. "That's convenient. Well then, let's get going. I suggest the rest of you go back to your homes," I tell the other girls.

"And leave you alone with Twilight again!? I don't think so buster!" Rainbow says and gets in my face again.

I frown and summon my scythe and glare at her. She yelps and backs off but still glares at me as well.

"I'll be fine, you all still have your jobs and lives to live. Rarity, would it be too much to ask if you could look after Spike while I'm gone, I'll also send letters to Spike about how I'm doing and you can send letters to me through him as well," Twilight tells them and asks the white unicorn. I then dismiss my scythe and get ready to go.

"I guess so, Sweetie Belle is staying with our parents for her summer vacation, so Spike can use her room for now," Rarity replies with a worried expression.

"And ah have ta get ready for applebucking season," Applejack says.

"I have to look after my animals, I've left Angel in charge but I still need to buy more food for them," Fluttershy then says.

I reach into my pack and pull out a small pouch of coins. "Here," I say and hold them out to Fluttershy. "for putting you through this mess," I tell her and she stares at it wide eyed.

"Oh, I couldn't..." she says and shy's away.

"I insist, I have no doubt you've been having a hard time due to the physical changes... this is the least I can do," I tell her and lightly grasp her hand and place the pouch on her palm.

She looks at the pouch and then at me. "Erm, thank you," she says and hides behind her hair.

"You're welcome, now then let's get going," I tell my companions.

"I'll write to you girls in a couple of days," Twilight says and walks over to us.

"I don't like this..." Rainbow says and frowns with crossed arms.

I ignore her and grip Twilight around the waist. "Ahh! What are you doing!?" she asks with a blush.

"You don't know how to fly, so I'm going to carry you until Desire can teach you how to on your own," I reply and she reluctantly agrees.

Selene then carries Gilda due to her muscles still being weak while Desire picks up her bag of coins.

"Alright, which way from here, Gilda?" I ask the gryphon.

"Erm, a little to the left, we should reach the port town of Horseshoe Bay in a few days," she replies and points in the direction we need to go.

"G, stay with us! You don't have to go with them!" Rainbow tries to convince her friend.

Gilda sighs and looks at Rainbow Dash. "Sorry, Dash, but I owe Damien for saving my feathers... Besides, I need to get back home quickly. We're still friends right?" she replies and asks.

"Sure, but you better apologise to my other friends when you come back," Rainbow tells her with a sad frown.

Gilda smiles and without another word I take off making Twilight yelp as Selene and Desire follow behind me.

"Doh! I never got to throw them a party!" Was the last thing I hear from the girls as we fly off towards the ocean.

It's been a couple of hours now and Twilight has relaxed in my grip and seems to be enjoying the flight. "So, Twilight. What do you think about us demons now, considering that now you are one," I ask her.

"To be honest, I thought you would be rather mean and cruel, being the Overlord and all. And although I don't like that you killed our guards... it was out of self-defence... and I even told them not to attack unless I said so..." she replies sadly.

"They could have had orders from Celestia to attack us. Also, your guards are poorly trained and very sloppy, especially if they managed to hit you instead of me. Although that could be due to Tirek's influence on Celestia to make her forces weaker for when he attacks again," I theorise.

She winces and places a hand on where she was shot. "That could be true, I'll have to write a letter to my brother and inform him about it..." she says and looks around. "It's nice up here."

"And soon you'll be flying with your own wings when you learn how to control them," I tell her making her smile at the thought.

Desire then banks closer to us with a grin. "What are you two talking about?" she asks playfully.

"How stupid the Equestrian guards are," I reply and spot a river to our left. "We're setting down to gather some water and clean the cookware!" I call out to Selene and Gilda.

Once we land, Selene summons the gear as she, Gilda, and I begin cleaning them in the river, in the meantime Desire is beginning Twilight's lessons.

"Now then, first up I'll teach you how to use those cute little wings of yours," Desire tells her and spreads her own wings wide. "Now try and extend both of your wings fully at the same time, try and feel for the muscles just above your shoulder blades," she instructs the purple succupony.

"Okay," Twilight replies and scrunches up her face with her forked tongue poking out slightly as her wings twitch and spasm.

"That's it, keep going!" Desire encourages her with a grin.

And after a few minutes, Twilight finally gets her wings extended. "I did it!" she says excitedly but is then cut off as Desire kisses her without warning while transferring more energy to Twilight.

Twilight yelps as Desire slithers her tongue against Twilight's before pulling back. "Good, filly. Each time you succeed I'll give you more and more energy as a reward," Desire tells her and licks her lips.

I shake my head as I scrub the pot we used for the stew last night clean.

"Oh erm..." Twilight starts blushing heavily. "I'm fine, y-you don't need to d-do that," she tells Desire while shuffling on her hooves.

"Oh don't fight it, Twilight. You're a succupony now, it's nothing to be embarrassed about, admit that it feels nice," Desire teases her.

"Desire! Go easy on her will you? This is completely new to her and sooner or later she'll get used to her new instincts," I tell my wife who sighs.

"Alright alright, I can't help it when she's this cute and adorable," she replies and looks back at Twilight. "Alright, lesson two, getting your wings to flap," Desire tells her and they go back to their lessons while the rest of us finish off cleaning.

We only spent an hour here and once we were done, I carry Twilight again as we take off over the grassy fields to Horseshoe Bay.

It took us three days of travelling, but we finally see Horseshoe Bay, Twilight sent two letters back to her dragon assistant Spike yesterday and got a response just a few hours ago, apparently it takes a while for the message to get to its destination. The first letter was just saying that the girls all got home safely and Celestia has been moved to Canterlot to recover more, the second was from her brother who was panicking that she's with the Overlord of Tartarus and begging her to 'escape' my evil clutches as he's on his way to rescue her.

Twilight's also getting used to feeding on lust from either me or Desire as well, though she still gets red faced from the action required.

Gilda is still recovering her strength and by the time we reach Gryphonia she should be able to fly by her own power again.

Selene has been also teaching Twilight something called night magic after Desire's flying preparation lessons. Twilight's beginning to learn how to meld into the Shadow Realm like Selene and I can, Desire could also learn it but she hates going into the shadow realm.

During breakfast, lunch, and dinner Twilight has been asking questions non-stop about Tartarus and its demons as well as my original world once I told her I'm not from here or Tartarus originally, Desire has also informed her about the history of the succuponies and incuponies over the last few centuries. She's like a sponge and just soaks up information while eager for more.

Although on the second night getting here, we heard Twilight crying in her tent and Desire ended up cuddling with her because she was getting homesick already. I had no problem roughing it outside on my own though, apparently ponies don't like sleeping alone for too long and Twilight is used to her dragon assistant Spike being in the same room as her. Something about a herd mentality, so Desire stayed with her the third night as well, they’re both starting to get along quite well now despite all the teasing Desire gives Twilight.

We finish lunch and pack up our gear after washing them with water from the nearby lake, Twilight is still uneasy about not needing to drink water anymore, although we can, it's just not needed.

"What do you plan to do once you get back to Tartarus?" Twilight asks me as I finish packing up.

"Firstly, I'll call a demon hunt for Tirek. Can't let him regain his power and possibly attack both our nations, I'll kill him and hopefully that'll remove the influence from your Princess as well. Then we'll find the Gate of Tartarus that leads to the gate under Canterlot and you can go home," I tell her.

"I see... How long do you think that will take?" she asks me with worry.

"To be honest? I have no idea, I estimate from five months to a year, depends on how quick we get there and find him. As well as how much power he’s regained over the centuries," I reply and stretch my limbs as the constant flying is taking its toll on my shoulders.

"That long?" she asks dismayed.

"You're free to go back and risk whatever Celestia may do to you, or stay with us where we can protect you from anything she throws at us... Tell me, do you resent me for turning you into a demon? Even if the other option was dying?" I ask her with a neutral expression.

She looks down in thought for a few seconds before looking at me. "Yes and no, while I am upset you turned me into a demon, I'm grateful you saved my life, and the fact you're being rather kind and tolerant of my constant questioning is nice, I can't hold a conversation about magic and science with anypony in Ponyville for more than five minutes before they leave or fall asleep..." she replies and sighs. "But to find out the Princess has been influenced by the demonlord she defeated over a thousand years ago... it's my duty as her student to see this through and help you stop Tirek in anyway I can and save the Princess," she tells me with a determined expression.

"Well it's nice to hear someone interested in my past and my culture, apart from my family and some close friends, most demons don't care. Also, Desire will be teaching you how to use your demonic energy to attack your enemies once we set sail," I reply and heft my pack back on, all this gold is quite heavy.

"Attack!? You mean I'll have to fight?" she asks me nervously.

"Until you get better with your new abilities, you'll just be learning for self-defence until you're strong enough to help in a fight. I don't expect you to put yourself in harm's way unless you're confident you can fight and win," I reply as Desire walks over.

"Besides, you're probably like me, you might have a piece of Damien's power in you making you stronger than a lesser demon as you were turned into a demon by a demonlord instead of being born one, maybe a deamon class, hold still," Desire tells Twilight and places her left hand on her forehead and her right over Twilight's heart. "Hmmm, yup, you're a deamon alright," she says and pats the purple succupony on the head.

"What does that mean?" she asks confused.

"It means you're two to three times stronger than a lesser demon, you can only be killed by having your heart destroyed or a fatal wound from a silver weapon and you no longer age once you hit thirty," I reply and walk over to Selene.

"I WHAT!? Eeeerrrr..." Twilight yells and then faints, but before she hits the ground Desire catches her.

"Erm, she took that rather well," Desire says with a grin and picks her up bridal style.

"She'll get over it, we're going to walk the rest of the way as I want to relax and let my muscles recover from the constant flying," I tell them and they agree. Selene's wings are aching since she hasn't had them for long but Desire is still fine as feeding off me helps her recover faster.

Once we start walking I look towards the still recovering gryphon. "So, Gilda. What's Gryphonia like?" I ask her.

"Uh, well. Our laws are strict and if they're broken the punishments can be harsh. Like fighting with the guards will get you thrown in Prison for ten years, killing a guard gets you executed by disembowelment. Thieving will get your talons cut off and destruction of property will have your possessions taken and sold to repay the damages. We're a hunter species so we like to hunt for sport and for food," she explains and spends the next ten minutes explaining gryphon traditions and beliefs.

During that time Twilight recovered from her blackout and was very embarrassed, though that's understandable finding out she's now ageless. She then uses her time practising to hover off the ground as we walk along the grassy field. Desire is beside her to catch her in case she falls as well as give her pointers and advice.

After an hour of travelling we see the port of Horseshoe Bay ahead of us and stop near some trees. "So how do we get in without attracting attention to ourselves? I doubt seeing four demons walk into port wouldn't start a panic, they may already know we’re coming," I remark looking at the port where a couple of guards are at the main entrance.

Selene retakes her unicorn disguise which makes Twilight facepalm herself and cast her own disguise making herself look like a unicorn again.

My wife's eyes widen as she walks over to Twilight. "Ohhh, teach me how to do that!" Desire asks her with a grin.

I frown as I'll have to probably follow them in through the Shadow Realm.

"Do we have time to teach her the illusion spell?" Twilight asks.

"I'm a quick study, just tell me how it's done and I'll give it a go," Desire replies and I just nodded at the young demoness.

So after two long hours and twenty or so minutes, Desire now looks like a pink unicorn with light red hair and blue eyes, she's still wearing her skimpy shorts and shirt but otherwise looks like a normal pony. "Took me two years to learn that..." Twilight says a little jealous at how quick Desire picked it up.

"Sweetheart, I'm over eighty years old, I've learnt how to pick things up quickly," my wife tells her with a cheeky grin.

"Eighty? You look no older than thirty!" Twilight says surprised.

"I'm an archdemon, I'm ageless as well, but thanks for the compliment," Desire says and walks up to me and grabs my shirt and pulls me forward and kisses me to replace the energy she just used.

Once we're all ready we head off and I slip into the Shadow Realm following behind them.

Next chapter the group will set sail and run into none other than... I'll let you figure it out.
