This is a bad end, leading on directly from the previous chapter.

The burning balefire that covered Corignis drew back, flowing up to mingle among her mane and tail, and she stalked forward. Walking past the pleading gaze of Mistress and to Celeph's side, she reached a wing out and gently stroked the growling, older succubus' shoulders and back. "I don't know how long she trapped you in there, Cousin, but your revenge is my gift to you." The growling stopped and changed to a softer whine. "You are still in there, but there will be a lot of feeding before you are as wonderful as you used to be."

"You know her?" Courage's hunger was still strong, but she could keep it at bay. She watched as Celeph drank and drank, Mistress having had quite a lot of energy stored up, but it was quickly apparent that Celeph was not going to allow Mistress a chance to repeat her tricks.

"I knew of her." She stroked the former Queen of the Succubi more with her wing. "But they all need more energy. This is… this is not how we should live. A succubus uses their hosts, but what Mistress did here was… it was really wrong."

"Where are the new ponies coming in?" Just the thought of a previously untainted pony made Courage salivate. She leaned into Corignis, leaned her snout up to her Sister's mane and nuzzled the fire there.

Courage's words stirred all the hungry succubi, who lifted their heads and stared at her. Corignis watched even Celeph's head gaze up at Courage. "Come on, Sister. Bring our pack and let us investigate." Spreading her wings, Corignis pushed magic under her own wings, manipulating the fire that had become a part of her to push her quickly down the hall.

Hooves thundered in Courage's mind, and along with that thunder her heart started to race. "We hunt." She whispered the words, but had no doubt that all the succubi heard them. Turning to follow Corignis, Courage let out a howl of excitement.

The search was inexact, but there was only so much to the modified Circle of Lust. Atrophied by the clinical methods of lust extraction that Mistress employed, the Circle had shrunk to accommodate the small-minded ruler.

When Corignis finally found the newest "collection room," she laughed. "Sisters, let go of your charges!" The group of succubi trying to fasten ponies into extraction machines stared at her blankly, and when they didn't act immediately, Corignis landed and walked slowly towards them. "What about if I say, 'Please?' "

"W-Where is Mistress? Who are you?" One of the succubi looked to her sisters—who were restraining a newly arrived stallion—and then back to Corignis. "Why should we do what you say?"

Courage's sharp hearing had picked up the conversation ahead, even as her "pack" were practically howling to feed. Her icy need reached out, but when she saw the stallion she snarled a halt to her pack. "She said please."

"C-C-Celeph! It's me, Cirenia!" Cirenia let go of the pony she had just helped collect. "Queen Celeph is back!" As she trotted forward, however, Celeph leapt on her and shoved her down to the ground. Trembling as her neck was grabbed in her former Queen's tight jaws, she whimpered in fear.

"Your Queen is freed, but she doesn't rule." Courage paced around Cirenia. "You smell tasty…"

Celeph knew her Alpha's intent, and kept herself from feeding on the succubus in her jaws. A little growl had Cirenia trembling in her grip. When she heard Cirenia whimper, Celeph loosened her hold and let go. "Mine." The word was the first Celeph's mind had made since she woke, and it was utterly possessive.

Corignis walked to the stallion—who was staring at her with a terrified fascination. "You were sent to the Circle of Lust as your punishment for life. What did you do?" She could almost taste him, and started to cast the spells that would mark a pony to give extra energy when fed from. She reached out with a wing and spread her fire over the stallion's head. The flame melted the bridle on him, but his flesh was safe. Corignis gave a big predatory grin at the mastery she was gaining over her new element.

"I… I lusted after mares…"

"And? Last I looked, ponies don't get sent here for improper thoughts." Corignis walked around the stallion, laying more and more dark magic sigils on the stallion's flank. "What did you do to those mares that got you here—in my care?"

"I bucked them… I bucked them all. I didn't care if they were married, it only made it better. I bucked them and bucked them… I made up lies and—"

"Shhh. That was enough. You were an adulterer; you made other stallions into cuckolds; you lied and cheated into the beds of mares." Corignis nuzzled the startled stallion's ear. "I am married, of a sort. I have a foal in my belly." She smiled and bit his ear. "If you are good you will get to have me."

Celeph's eyes were locked on something new. She stared at the rampant stallion. She watched his shaft grow harder and harder as Corignis talked to him, but what really made her body want him were the dark sigils all over his body. The stallion was like a beacon to any succubus that was present.

"But you know who is going to be your first lay in the Pit?" Corignis stroked the stallion's mane with her wing. "She was once the Queen of Lust, but now she isn't much more than a beast. If you are good to her, you will be given the honor of bedding two married mares at once." She drew back from the stallion just as Celeph tackled him.

Courage watched as Celeph bowled the stallion over and landed atop him. At first she was worried her "minion" would use that icy-cold hunger on the pony, but Celeph plunged herself onto the stallion's shaft with complete abandon. She turned to Cirenia. "More. Where are more?"

Cirenia was staring at the former queen as Celeph rutted the stallion. "I-I-In the next room," she looked up at Corignis, "Your Majesty…" It was a risk, but when she saw a beatific smile on the flaming succubus she couldn't help but return it.

"Lead the way." Corignis followed Cirenia, and grinned as Courage fell in at her side. "Things are changing—Cirenia was it?" She watched Cirenia nod. "Mistress might have enjoyed the cold dominance of holding an entire Circle in her machines, but we will not stand for that. No more machines, no more trapping each other. Free the ponies from their bondage and care for them." She glared at Cirenia's companions. "Go and free them."

"M-M-Mistress is…?" Cirenia opened the door into a vast chamber, where dozens of succubi were "catching" ponies, fitting bridles on them, and leading them off.

"Mistress is defeated!" Corignis bellowed the words as loudly as she could. Succubi stared in the direction of the newcomers. "Remove their bridles; we are succubi, not parasites."

Confused stares were the order of the day, a few ducked out of the chamber into halls, but some others did just what Corignis asked. Courage trotted into the huge room with her pack, drinking in the atmosphere. "Feed." She giggled, then laughed. "Feed on the ponies, free them first, then grant them the pleasure that is their right!" Power flowed through her, dark magic flowed from her horn and ripped the bridles from any ponies she was near.

A rush of pleasure hit Courage, staggering her for a moment. She stared blankly ahead as an entirely new kind of power rushed into her. This wasn't the cold rush that learning had given. It wasn't the hot torrent that sex brought. This was solid power, and it tasted amazing. "What… what was that?" She spun to look at Corignis, seeing her Sister recovering from her own rush.

"I… I don't know." Corignis had to straighten her back from the "presenting" stance she had taken. "It tasted of-of real power, and…" She turned, trying to gauge the direction it had come from, and looked back whence they had come. "…Celeph?"

The rush came again, Courage pranced a little at the delight of it. "This is amazing!" Some of her pack had found themselves ponies to feed from, while some hunted the fleeing succubi. "What is happening, Cor?"

"We are taking over." Corignis felt more rushes of that amazing power, and looked around the room to work out what it was. The charge each time was smaller than what Celeph had given, but she puzzled out the problem. "Each time they drink we get a small measure… Master's Tithe…" She noticed something else, that she and Courage both seemed to be growing, getting taller and a little leaner.

"What?" Courage was struggling against the wave of pleasure and energy. "What does…" She stopped and moaned at the wonderful pulsing of energy now steadily feeding her. "… does 'Master's Tithe' mean?" When Courage squealed in pleasure, her haunches sank to the ground.

"I said it myself. We are taking over, we have taken over." Corignis spread her wings and poured her fire down them. "We are the masters here, we are the Queens of Lust." She strode over to Courage and leaned against her back, pressing her belly-fur against her sister's. "It feels good."

Courage knew it wasn't a question, but she nodded anyway. The flow was much less now, but it was a constant stream that had her aching with a need to use it. The ice-cold hunger inside made her snarl and spin around to face Corignis. Gazing into her Sister's eyes, she channeled the power to obey her will.

Staring between Courage's back legs, Corignis' jaw dropped as her Sister grew a thick, hefty pony penis. Hunger overtook every other emotion and need guided her to turn. Courage's weight landed on her back, and Corignis gave a deep, lusty groan of appreciation.

Spreading her wings and shoving herself forward with a powerful flap, Courage shoved deep into Corignis. She began to weave more magic, duplicating the symbols Corignis had painted the stallion with earlier, mirroring the designs on both of them. The rush of magic coming in seemed to stop, but she could feel the link to every succubus that had followed their commands.

Each rune that adorned her body made Corignis squirm, but what really made her moan out lustily was that Courage had painted herself with them too. The perfection of their partnership was not lost on the demons and ponies around them; every creature in the huge chamber had stopped and was staring at their new rulers.

The bonds Courage had with all the other succubi strengthened, and she tugged at them like a hundred leashes. "Feed. Feed! FEED!" The sound of her hips slapping against Corignis' rear gained an echo as another succubus followed her command. Then another, and more. The combined energy boiling in the room drove Courage, Corignis, and all their minions into a frenzy of power. Courage had almost lost track of herself as she drove into Corignis faster, their own pleasure adding to the cacophony of lust.

Corignis soon lost herself to the bliss, grunting hard as the heavy shaft her Sister insisted on driving into her pushed her beyond her limit to endure. She trembled and shoved back as best she could, her last conscious thought as pleasure overwhelmed her completely.

When Corignis' muscles clenched down on her shaft, Courage sped up to increase the magnitude of her own impending release. She felt the electric fire building in her hefty balls, felt the agony of anticipation as she rested on the very edge of release. All the runes over both their bodies flared brightly, and thunder pealed as she hit her own climax while shoving Corignis into her second.

A tsunami of magic flooded the huge room. Every creature within was pushed into their own orgasmic release as the Queens of Lust climaxed together. No being was safe from their power, not in their own domain. Energy boiled through Corignis, flowed around her body and briefly focused between her back legs. As if to match her sister, she felt a shaft of her own grow.

Enraptured in the bliss of the orgy, Courage watched as Corignis' forehead glowed, and two long horns emerged from her sister. She was so focused on the pleasure and Corignis that she didn't feel the sensation of her own horn changing until it very suddenly split in half. She screamed as more power flowed, she bucked as hard as she could as her own demonic horns curved back over her head. But what Courage didn't feel was any lessening of her magic—far from it.

Author's Notes:

Not the end, just what might have been if they reached for the power that was offered, and claimed it like the queens they are. Of course this is titled "Bad End," but for Courage and Corignis, it was very, very good.

~~~~~+++++~~~~~

So I do this "Ask x" thing, x can be any pony within the story. You can ask them anything and I they will definitely hopefully reply. Keep the questions appropriate to the age-rating of the stories and of course, I they will answer the best question(s) in the author notes of the next chapter. The more votes a comment has the more likely I will get it to the right pony to answer, try and keep it to one answer per post! I They will pick one question per chapter. (note, the commissioner will answer questions in the comments, since this is their OC)
