Deep within a cave that Kalfu had created for a new breed of spiders he had created, the thugs from that night now hang in the air tightly cocooned in webbing made from those very same spiders from the cave’s ceiling. Leaving only their eyes and mouths uncovered, the ponies slowly regain consciousness only to start wriggling and writhing in fear as they see the rather large black and glowing green spiders crawling on and around them, hissing in their ears as they start freaking out and screaming for help. But, no matter how loud they screamed, no one was coming to help them.

The sound of footsteps against the hard rock floor echoed through the cave as Kalfu’s shadow flickered against the cave walls from the dim green torches that lit the place. A low humming coming from him before he started to sing something he remembered from one of his favorite animes back when he was a child.

“Total slaughter…total slaughter..

I won’t leave…a single pony…alive…

Lah di dah di dah…genocide….

Lah dii dah di dah…and ocean of blood///

Let’s begin…the killing time~.”.

He sang this in the most eerie way he could, getting the reaction he had hoped for as well once he rounded the corner to see the eyes of the dangling ponies now fixated on him in absolute fear as he approached them. Once he came into view, the largest of the spiders began to skitter towards Kalfu and began to affectionately crawl up his legs and back before resting upon his shoulders “Masteeerrrr~.” they cooed as they began to nuzzle against him.

Kalfu chuckled lowly in his throat before holding out his hand to let one of the spiders rest in his palm “Good evening, ladies~. Have you been keeping our guests comfortable and entertained?”. The spider in his palm nodded slightly as she wrapped her legs around his palm in a hug as the gaze of her master sent shivers along her form “Yes, master~. We strung them up the moment they were brought here. Does this mean we get to eat them..?” she asked with a hopeful gaze up at Kalfu.

Kalfu looked from the spider up to the still flailing and thrashing ponies then back to the spider “It all depends if they cooperate with my questions, sweetie. Not to worry though. I will make sure you all get your prey regardless. I won’t let you all starve. You are all my creations after all. And daddy won’t ever let you go hungry~. Now, disperse for now but stay nearby.”. After the command, they all crawl back into the shadows of the cave, completely disappearing from sight before Kalfu lifted into the air in flight, floating between the hanging ponies.

“Now then, gentlemen. For what reason did you all have for stalking a simple fashionista pony of all folks on her way home from her shopping? Surely it wasn’t to cause her any sort of harm, I am sure. Riiiight?” he asked the one in the middle as he got real close to his face. The stallion continued to thrash about in the webbing as he answered “W-we were paid by some top dog in the fashion industry to scare her and rough her up a bit! That’s all, I swear!”.

:Oh, and who was the ‘top dog’ that was so afraid of this sweet little mare? Are they afraid of the competition that she poses? Maybe even losing to ehr in some kind of fashion show?” he asked as he used his index finger to push the pony back, making him swing around “I don’t know who it is! We were simply told by one of the ponies that work under him to get rid of the fashionista in Ponyville before she could cause any trouble! That’s all I know!”.

Kalfu went quiet for a moment before slowly and sinisterly reached out before placing his hand upon the pony’s forehead. He closes his eyes before snapping them open before he narrowed them with a look of disgust and anger “Rough her up just a little huh..? That’s not what your memories are telling me. You were going to do more than that you fucking sick pricks. Not only because you were ordered to. But you were definitely going to enjoy it. I get it..you wanted to take someone like her down a peg. But, she doesn’t deserve that kind of treatment.”.

WIth a swift motion, Kalfu thwacks the stallion on the face with the diamond part of his walking cane, causing quite a few teeth to fly from his mouth along with a splatter of blood. He lowers back down onto the ground with an annoyed sigh before lifting his free hand “Ladies,they are yours. Keep them alive…but only just barely while you feed.” He ordered before snapping his fingers. Immediately, the cave walls started moving once more as the spiders began to move in quick towards their prey.

“Wait, please! Let us go! We will leave her alon-!” the pony shouted before he was cut off by a stream of spiders flooding his mouth, the creatures immediately going to work inside his body as his fellow compatriots began getting the same treatment, their gargles echoing through the cave as they convulse and trash in the webbing as they are being pulled up higher into the cave’s ceiling. A well deserved end for ponies like them.

Kalfu now stood outside of the cave before letting out a sigh “That’s rather unlike me. I usually don’t waste my time on vermin like that. Especially for someone I just met.” he said as he looked down at his open hand before closing it into a fist “I have to wonder. Would the voodoo gods in my home world have enacted this kind of action to people with similar motives?” he asked himself before continuing to make his way to his home.

A couple hours later, Kalfu stood on his deck with a glowing purple spell circle spinning slowly at his feet as he held his hands out, chanting in Haitian as dark purple flames floated in the hands of several giant skeletal arms that surrounded the circle. His eyes glowed more brightly than usual as he was using a form of trance magic to pinpoint the face of the fashion designer he had seen in the lying stallion’s mind. Once it had come into perfect and clear view, Kalfu began casting the curse.

“You, who have sinned against the innocent due to your greed and malice, I hereby cast this affliction upon you and your soul. Your very greed will become your undoing until you fall into darkness and disappear and take your own life. Then, I shall be the one to claim your soul when it all ends. And you shall forever be tormented in my realm of damnation…” he chanted before clapping his hands together, the magic disappearing into the ground and surging in the direction of Canterlot. Not a surprise to him in the least that was where his target resided.

The next morning soon came around. Kalfu was in town when he saw ponies reading the newspaper and gossiping about how one of the top fashion designers in Equestria suddenly lost all investments and their entire fortune had been stolen by unknown assailants in the night. And that the information of him physically attacking and intimidating his competition had reached the public ears, causing him to fall out of favor. Kalfu couldn’t help but smile to himself as justice was being served. And that this was only the beginning of it for the pony.

As he listened in on the whispers, he suddenly felt something soft and squishy pressing against his back and two arms wrapped around him in a tight hug. That, along with the scent of cake and cotton candy gave away who the surprise hugger was instantly. Kalfu turned his head slightly to gaze up at Pinkie who was returning the smile as she squeezed him as tightly as she could “Hiiiii, Kal~.” she said as she nuzzled into him before reluctantly releasing him from her hug. He tipped his hat to her in response “Hello again, Pinkie. Just as sunny and happy as usual I see. Have you been doing alright?”.

As they walked along and talked, Kalfu couldn’t help but feel like he was being watched. But unlike the thugs from the night before, this gaze he was feeling felt more like curiosity mixed with a hint of fear. After he had finished speaking with Pinkie, he stood in the middle of the walkway before disappearing around a corner. His stalker blinked a few times before she came out of hiding, the yellow pegasus slowly looking around the corner of the building he disappeared behind as she wondered where he could have gone.

“Did you lose him?” Kalfu asked as he now stood behind the curious mare. The sudden surprise caused her to fall forward and tumble with a high pitched yelp. Kalfu winced a bit as he watched her flop on the ground before approaching her with an outstretched hand, offering her help back on her hooves “Heheheh, sorry about that, madam. But, I couldn’t resist.” he said as he watched her look up at him from behind her light pink mane. She stared up at him with her beautiful blue eyes with a slight blush of embarrassment upon ehr muzzle before shyly taking his hand.

Once she was helped up, she averted her gaze from his own before grabbing at her arm, digging one of her hooves into the ground as they stood there in a rather awkward silence. “Sooooo…my name is Kalfu. And who might you be called, madam?”. The mare didn’t respond. She just continued to shift her gaze between him and the ground. Kalfu scratched the back of his head before feeling something coil up around his leg, then his back and then around his arm. He looked over as he lifted his left arm to see a black and green glowing snake gazing up at him and flicking her tongue at his fingers in a playful manner before speaking to him.

“Ah, so things are going well then? That’s good. Make sure that you and the others keep up the good work. I will reward you all in time soon enough.” He said as he placed a gentle kiss upon the snake’s head before she disappeared into his sleeve. Once his attention turned back to the pony, he noticed that her expression had changed back to curiosity once more “You…can talk to animals too…?” she asked as she stepped closer to him, but only slightly.

Kalfu arched a brow at her sudden question but nodded in response “Only certain ones. Spiders, snakes. Scorpions, gators, and a few others. Given your question, I take it that you can speak with animals as well?”. The yellow mare nodded in response with a soft “Mhmm.” She then leaned to the side trying to peek up the sleeve that the snake had ventured into “My name is Fluttershy by the way…it-it is nice to meet you, Kalfu.” she said as she struggled to maintain eye contact with him. She wanted to see the pretty snake again it seemed.
