She felt used—well used. Courage rolled out from under the ferrypony, a mix of seed and other combined sexual fluids leaking from her vulva and down her thighs. Rising to her hooves, she realized that despite spending what felt like months screwing the big stallion, she felt better than ever.

"Succubus." Reaching a hoof over to rub Courage on the withers, Nothing didn't have any trouble guessing her mixed species. "Not a lot in you, though. Enough that it made the ride a good one." He leaned over and nibbled at Courage's shoulders.

Shivering at Nothing's touch, Courage loosed her wings and gave them little flaps. "It was… I was in a bad place. I called a friend for help, and we had to work together to get free, really close together."

"What happened?"

Courage smiled wide, knowing there was something she held over the voice in her head. He must be busy, wherever he really is. Wasn't he watching? She smiled widely.

"Friends are always good, especially down here." Nothing gave the boat another push with his pole, nudging it up onto dry land. "And this is the end of your ride." Nothing let out a sigh as he said it, as if wishing things would continue.

The longing sigh drew a blush to Courage's cheeks. Her body felt good, great even. She fumbled for what to say, finally just hiding behind, "Yeah, it is." Idiot! He is cute, he bucks… Courage's thoughts scattered for a moment as she remembered their time together. Hang on… "You're a demon?"

"Half, like you." Nothing stretched. "Go on now, or do you like the scenery so much you want another ride?"

He's flirting… with me! Courage blushed hotter still. "Uh, I should probably go. I…" Her body let out a little tremble, a reminder of how much of him had been in her, and for how long. "Buck, I gotta go. If I ever see you again, I will take another ride."

"And so will I." Nothing used his magic to give Courage a firm smack on the plot as she climbed off onto the land. He laughed as she spun around to face him. "Farewell, strange mare."

Courage's plot felt empty and it bugged her. Worse still was looking back at the smug stallion pushing his ferry away from the land. She wanted to curse, but instead she barked out a laugh. A flash of light stole her vision, and Courage was suddenly standing somewhere else, somewhere very different to the shores of the Styx.

"Hello? Anypony there?" The room was huge, books covering every wall in huge shelves. It felt bigger than the throne room in Canterlot Castle. The place was quiet, reverent, a library in all senses of the word.

"Welcome!"

Courage spun around at the deep bass word. Spotting a unicorn stallion standing behind her. She was about to say something, but he continued.

"You have found the famed Great Library. All the learning you could wish is here. My name, is Learned Scholar." Learned gestured around the room, his dark mane and tail not moving in the still room. "Would you like to learn?"

A shiver of excitement ran through Courage. She looked around and her eyes alighted on a book she recognized. "You have Evantide's Enchanting Encyclopedia?" Trotting forward, Courage shook her wings a little. Floating the first book of the set out, she opened it up and inspected it. "A first printing? How in Equestria did you get this?"

"Equestria?" Striding up to Courage, Learned used his own horn to levitate out another book. "You might want to start with this. It will help you understand the start of your enchantment." He waited for Courage to stop, take in his words, and turn to him. "So your next question is…"

"What enchantment?" Courage was trapped in a word game she was ill-equipped to win, but the normality of it had her smiling at the big unicorn.

"Exactly. Now, so far all my customers are going down, it is easy to go down… really easy." Learned passed her the book titled, Advanced Magi-craft. "But you came in from the wrong place, you want to go…"

"Up." Opening the book, Courage didn't notice she was still doing an entirely normal thing with a normal-seeming pony. "What is this?"

"Up, yes. Up is not easy. Up requires an Orb of Ascension." Learned gestured to a padded pedestal in the middle of the room that hadn't been there a moment ago. "Read that, and then…"

"Come back to you." Courage froze, realizing how suddenly strange it was to be finishing the stallion's sentences for him. "Hey, where did you go?" She had looked down at the book for just a moment, but Learned was nowhere to be seen. "Huh, well…" She walked over to the middle of the room to inspect the pedestal, finding a single card on it.

To escape this circle, you must ascend. To ascend, you must...

"Make an Orb of Ascension." It was perfectly obvious who had written the card, considering how it finished. "Okay, and I need to read this book to understand how to do it?" She flipped the book open and started to read. Wow, this… this is really advanced stuff! Her eyes stroked the pages, pupils soaking up the words from within, but she reached a point where she didn't quite understand how things worked. Flipping back, she found an experiment. "Okay, I can do this if I have a work…" She looked around, sure enough a worktable was behind her, covered with reagents and tools.

"Table." Walking over to the workbench, Courage began to set up the experiment, following the confusing instructions to the letter. At long last, she poured magic into the enchantment and watched the magic fold around itself, something she had never witnessed before. "So that is how it is…"

"Done." The whisper left Courage's lips. Resolving not to speak in the odd pattern further, she picked the book back up and read. More and more of the book moved from right to left, each page giving up answers to questions Courage was barely starting to grasp. She learned about folded enchantments, spells that unraveled and expanded as they were implanted, and all their applications.

At last, though, she got to the end of the book. "This is going to be so awesome! I can do so much more with…" She choked on the end of the sentence.

"This." Learned didn't make any noise until his hooves were right behind Courage. "Now what do you seek? Do you wish to keep learning along the path to making an Ascension Orb? Or would you…"

"Like to stay?" Courage shook her head. "No, I want to find out how to make this thing, I want to get home." She looked at the book that was now closed. "This is amazing, I could do so much more with this enchanting, is it how I make…"

"The Orb? Yes, this is exactly how you make it, in a few more steps." Learned Scholar stepped closer to Courage. "But you are hungry, and you are definitely a succubus. To feed, you…"

"Need to fuck." Courage gave a sigh when the unicorn's snout pressed into her mane. "What… what are you going to do? I am not sure…"

"...you can take everything I can offer." Learned trailed his snout down Courage's body as he spoke, lips and jaw tracing her spine. When he reached her croup he lined up and bit down on Courage's dock. "Moan for me, tell me…"

"I want you in me." Courage was barely aware of saying the words. She turned herself, lining her body up with the big stallion's. Lowering her head, she cocked her tail to the side in preparation. His weight crashed down on her, Courage letting out a grunt at the size of him. She didn't need to think beyond wanting the stallion in her, and pushed back.

Impaling herself on the thick shaft, Courage felt Learned start bucking into her, driving her toward her end in swift, quick strokes. He took her, he pounded her, he drove Courage to her limit and then unloaded into her. She groaned and made an embarrassing whinny of bliss, shoving backwards, clutching down on him in the throes of release.

"You are from Equestria." Learned was big enough to be leaning up and over Courage, whispering in her ear. "You know I am a demon. Not half blood, not mixed or muddled, but pure. You want…"

"I want you to buck me again." The words slid from Courage's mouth in a haze of pleasure and power. Nothing could prepare her for the power that she had burning inside, and she liked it. "Please, I want you to…"

"Buck you." Learned started again, pounding into Courage, stuffing her body with more stallion and power than she could think what to do with. She felt herself peak again and again, felt him start up over and over. "You might know my son. He ruled part of your world, now he is trapped upstairs. His name is…"

Courage's eyes fluttered, closing in pleasure as a strange exhaustion rolled through her. Learned rode her body down to the ground, still bucking, as darkness edged in on her mind. She could only say one word, and the scary thing was, she didn't know why she knew it. "Sombra."

Startled awake by her own imagination, Courage suppressed a shudder at the pleasure-filled dreams that had filled her head while she slept. She felt full, stuffed with energy. "What was that? What did he do to…"

Her eyes locked on something in front of her, set on a white cloth on the floor. "Me." She couldn't stop herself from finishing her words. The book, royal purple in color, had a clear title, Master Enchanting: Vol I.

Struggling to her hooves, Courage stretched and relished at the "well ridden" feeling that touched every single muscle. Lighting her horn, she floated the book up into the air. Why is my magic a little darker? Walking slowly, her back end swaying a little, Courage set the book on a lectern and opened it. All thoughts of her body, of her oddly darker-colored magic, fled as she began to read.

The book didn't last long. Courage soon was finished with it, and was still not feeling any hunger. Walking to the shelf, she found volume two of the series. "This is really…"

"Perfect." Carrying that book back, a hungry pit inside Courage seemed to grow a little wider. There was another experiment, of course, and this time the book showed her how to twist an enchantment. So excited was Courage that she barely noticed when she needed volume three, and finally finished four.

Learned was again in the room. He walked over to her, floating all four books up in his black and purple magic, sending them back to the shelves they came from. "You are hungry…"

"For sex and knowledge." Courage felt the demoness in her stir, felt her body clench at the mere thought of having the big stallion on her back. "Is… is this really going to get me out? You're not just…"

"Trying to keep you here forever, my smart little broodmare?" Learned laughed when Courage nodded, he had her perfectly contained now, she couldn't even ask him a question until he worded things just right for her. "You want to know if…"

"I will bear your foals." The words felt right to Courage, they weren't exactly what her brain wanted her to say, but once they were past her lips, it seemed right to have said them. "Please, I need…"

"To be bred, filled with my seed, then given your chance to be the perfect dam and release my colt on the world, like his brother." Learned walked around Courage, running his dark magic along her side, tracing her wings. "Now you need to…"

"Be ready for you, turn my tail to the side, offer myself." Courage didn't care who was saying the words now, they were all truth. "Please be…"

"Your master."
