"Ah, Lilith. It is good to see you again. Those changelings you encountered, were they looking for you?"

"Yes, that's partly why its time to move on. I've weighed the cost of revenge and came to a conclusion you would approve."

"And what is that, young one?"

"I'm leaving the Equestian territories to live on an island in the gryphon kingdom, I won't be found there."

"Lilith, I'm glad you were able to give up revenge.There is darkness in all hearts, some more than others. I had feared you would give in... But just as there is darkness there is a potential for so much good in you as well, let the morals of your mother guide you to the proper path."

"Thank you Celestia."

"No, thank you for reminding me of my people's need."

Lilith was about to leave but thought of one final thing. "Oh. Once I leave the city tell the captain he had a changeling on his squad..." He would be more than surprised at the info.

"Lilith, I haven't known you long but I can say that I am sad to see you go. You are one of the last remaining pieces of my past... And were circumstances different I would be glad to have you stay."

"Maybe I'll come to visit in a few years, they can't keep searching forever. Goodbye Celestia."

~

Lilith strode out of the throne room and through the grand halls of the castle, exiting the castle gates for what should be her final time in many years.

"So what's with you being all special? Celestia just lets you stroll in and out whenever?" A voice spoke to her.

"Oh. Hey manticore, is this the only post you ever get? Don't worry about Celestia and I, you won't be seeing me around anymore."

"You see me every day at training, and not once have you asked my real name. I'm starting to think yo-" he paused. "What? Not seeing you around anymore?"

"Just what it sounds like." Lilith walked off, heading home to grab Elric and her belongings.

"And it looks like you'll never ask..." He mumbled.

Lilith chuckled from a distance, her enhanced hearing having picked up his words.

Lilith took in the sights of the grand city as she walked, it would be her last time here in a while, possibly forever.

Having dawdled for long enough she cut through an alley that was a shortcut to her home, pausing upon hearing hoof steps and a voice behind her.

"Ah, you match the description perfectly... I didn't think you would be so stupid as to keep the same form after encountering hunters."

Lilith wheeled around, seeing pegasi transform into a changeling. "These pony forms are so stuffy and dull." she spoke, stretching out her back. She looked slightly different than a regular changeling, with some sort of inexplicable glow of power around herself, her dark and sleek from drawing Lilith's gaze.

Lilith shook her head to clear the thoughts racing through her mind at the very sight of the mare. "What are you?"

"I'm a changeling my dear, I thought that was obvious." She grinned and Lilith found herself entranced by her disarming smile.

"No, not that. It's like your in my mind..." Lilith barley managed to speak, thoughts of situationally inappropriate things swirling through her head as she stared.

"Oh if I was in your mind you would feel it." As she spoke the words Lilith could feel her senses become overwhelmed as the mare entwined their minds.

The presence was all consuming, yet fluttered around her mind like a butterfly, unable to be pinned down. At the mere presence Lilith's nethers quivered.

"Why is my body doing this?" Lilith questioned as heat began radiating from her.

"You may call me Lust. I am the most recent host, that is... My master, Pride, is gathering the seven sins for his plan and the sooner you are out of the way the quicker he can concentrate on it."

"Pride?" Lilith could feel her arrousal peak, a glistening drop of fluid streaming down her leg. "Sin?"

"The seven deadly sins, my lovely. But as of Pride, you know him as Drauth. He also contains the entity Gluttony."

"But," Lilith squirmed, trying to clear her thoughts. "What does this have to do with me? I made up my mind to never return."

"Your mother was the last vessel of Wrath, but she never allowed the power to take root, scorning Pride. Ardith was still powerful though, her pure virtues kept us at bay when we tried to turn her.

You see, when the current vessel of any of the seven dies the powers are passed to another viable and usually random candidate, but if there is a child they receive the boon instead. Do you see now why we cannot allow you to roam free?"

"Wrath... But as soon as Drauth learned of me he wanted to kill me. If the sin is passed upon death then how could he know who would receive it? Wouldn't that set back his plans?"

"Ah, there is a loophole to that. If one of the bearers of the seven sins are slain by a royal then the powers pass directly to the killer. That is how Drauth obtained gluttony for himself."

"S... So, what's to stop Pride from killing you?" Lilith tried in vain to clear her mind as Lust's fluttering presence directed through, gleaning her memories while setting a thick fog of pleasure over her senses.

"Ha! He wouldn't dare, I am his drug, I am the substance he cannot live without." The smooth words tickled Lilith's consciousness, her mouth opened in a silent moan as she experienced the raw pleasure Lust could project.

"So? Lilith." Lust pulled back to the edge of her consciousness. "Would you be willing to join me?"

Lilith's mind ached for the caress of Lust, her nethers dared her to touch and finish what had been started. "I..." Lilith's mind was still clouded from the pleasure, but now Lust was forcing a sense of withdrawals upon her. "I cannot work for the minions of Drauth." She gritted her teeth as she spoke.

Lust eased back into her mind sending another blissful flood. "Then will you work with just me?"

"A... Ahh..." Lilith clamped her legs together as another wave of unspeakable pleasure rushed through her. "What do you mean?"

"Drauth needn't be host for Pride and Gluttony... We could end him, together." As Lust spoke the words a sense of bliss surged through Lilith, her body quaked as a hot gush of fluid came forth to wash down her legs.

"And... If I do?" She panted out. "What then?"

Lust sent another raw surge of pleasure through Lilith, the most intense bliss that she had ever felt before. Lilith's legs entirely gave out and she collapsed into a puddle of her own fluids.

"Then we will conquer Equestria together, for the glory of the changelings!"

Lilith opened her eyes, not realizing when she had closed them. In front of her she saw an assembled mass of gazing changeling eyes.

"Lilith, get out of here." Elric dove in from above, standing between Lilith and the assembling mass. Lilith's mind was instantly freed from Lust's grasp.

"Drauth suspected you had found the girl, Greed. Thats what gave Lilith away in the end. Her and I were just discussing why she didn't have to die today."

"Please Lilith, fly. I'll hold them off as best as I can."

"Greed? Elric? You're one of the seven and didn't tell me!"

"I didn't want you caught up in all of this... Please, get out of here before Lust enthralls you entirely."

"She has powers just like Sloth, she can show me how to use those that come with Wrath. She can help me kill Drauth!"

"No Lilith. You don't want the power, it comes at too high a pri-" Elric's words left him as Lust forced herself into his mind to silence him.

"You said Sloth? Your worth continues to increase my precious Lilith, soon all seven will be joined."

"Release Elric."

"Its a bit of harmless pleasure, but if you insist." Elric gasped out as he was released.

Elric spoke to Lilith mentally, "Close your mind, barricade it off from any connections. You can resist her for a short while this way." He quickly receded from her mind, throwing up mental barriers.

"Lilith, to become one of us is to sacrifice yourself. You would no longer be the same mare. If you actually met Sloth you would know... She killed the bearer of Envy and added it to her list of powers. That ancient mare is driven only by her primal desires, to sap the life from others in effort to be beautiful once again.

Drauth has an even worse combination... He may still be in control but he hungers endlessly and takes it by slaughter. You only have one sin, yes you might be able to control it for a time just as I do but it would eventually take control. As long as you leave it dormant you can be spared the fate."

Lust, tired of being ignored interrupted. "Elric, Drauth sent me here to kill you for daring to defy him... But it seems you don't have to die today either. You can join me, along with Lilith. Think quickly, this is a one time offer.

"I'm going to have to disappoint you, Greed has told me what will happen if all seven unify... I don't like that outcome." Elric pulled a knife and threw it at lightning speeds, aiming for her throat.

She batted it away with a quick flare of magic growling out, "Kill him."

As the literal swarm of changelings advanced Lilith took a spot next to Elric and drew a knife. "What have you done?"

"What was best..."

Elric brushed up against her side before leaping forward, running his knife across the side of one of their attackers. The changeling fell, blood oozing from the gaping wound.

"Then I'll trust you." Lilith defended herself against several other changelings as Elric pushed forward, killing any in his path to reach Lust.

Lilith lashed out, rewarded with a cry of anguish as a blade took a twisted horn clean off of one of her attackers. She dodged away as another tried to attack her from the side. Lilith tried to push forward, only to be stopped as more and more changeling piled up between her and Elric.

Elric had reached Lust and the two were locked in combat, her servants focusing their attention on Lilith. Despite her training all Lilith could do was defend herself, the number of incoming attacks too high. On a rare occasion she would find an opening, dropping another changeling from the fight.

Lilith's blood pumped rapidly, a deafening clamor of anguish and fighting drowned out. As another changeling fell Lilith could feel her hearts spike with an additional surge of adrenaline, each death by her hooves fueling her dark passions. She was beginning to enjoy this, and that fact stirred something deep inside her.

She caught a glimpse of Elric through the crowd, lying on the ground. A mental command from Lust stopped all attacks. Lilith stood there shocked as Lust looked her way, plunging a dagger into Elric's heart.

"No!"

Another mental command and the changelings resumed their assault, Lilith's training took hold and she dodged away from her attackers without even thinking.

Elric was dead? Her love, slain by a monster. One with connections to Drauth...

Pure rage shot through Lilith's veins and her powers flared up stronger than ever before, causing time to nearly stop. Lilith whirled around in a dance of death, her blade flying across limbs, throats, and any exposed flesh it could bite. It only took a manner of seconds as the stunned changelings were unable to track her motions. Some tried to flee but stood no chance as Lilith expelled her rage, ending the lives of any in sight.

Her powers came to a halt and she stumbled from the mess of thirty or so corpses, decorated by the bloody spray. The unexpected surge of time energy had drained most of her strength, but the rage kept her standing.

Lust looked surprised at the sudden death of her minions but took immediate notice of Lilith's unsteady gait as she approached. She ripped her knife from Elric's unmoving chest, smirking at the angered expression Lilith gave at the disregard of his body.

"I'm done with running, I'm done with hiding... Today you're going to die Bitch!"

Lilith rushed Lust but her mind was bombarded by the familiar presence. Lilith's anger fueled her mental defense, preventing Lust's powers from taking hold.

Lilith distorted time once again and plunged her dagger towards Lust, aiming to kill. As the blade was about to pierce her flesh Lust flinched back at an abnormal speed, pushing Lilith's limb away. "Ah, so Greed's power is speed..." Lust spoke as she let a flurry of blows fly towards Lilith.

Lilith could feel a knife point graze her cheek as she barely cleared out of the way in time.

"You make for a good opponent, so easily able to decimate the small army I brought... That rage you feel, burning so deeply, is but a taste of Wrath's power, are you so sure you want it to go to waste?"

Lilith stopped, panting. She had never beaten Elric in a fight and now she knew why, Greed's power was a speed that dwarfed her ability to slow time. There was no way Lilith could fight Lust in her worn down state if she even had half of Elric's skill.

"You could still join me, I can make you feel things he would never have been able to, if only you'd let me."

Lilith growled out at her words, her dark rage burning stronger. "You can't replace him so easily."

"Fine then... Sloth can be found without your help."

"I'm sorry Elric, Mother... But I have to do this... I need the power to avenge you." Lilith spoke, reaching deep within herself for this 'sin' as it had been called... Wrath.

In the darkest corners of her mind it resided, just waiting to be let forth. "I need you." Lilith spoke to it.

Power flooded through Lilith.

'Why are you afraid of Lust, she is weak, pitiful. I could present you her head if you so desired.'

Lilith's form split, two shadows of herself took shape ready for her command.

'Let me show her who truly holds the power here.'

Lilith commanded the two forms and they surged towards Lust, each of them attacking in tandem. The forms acted separately from Lilith but mimicked her combat style. Each shadowy blade that nipped at Lust's hide left a dark gash as she, unable to handle the onslaught was quickly brought to her knees.

'Take her pathetic life...'

The two shadowy forms pulled Lust upwards, one grabbing her mane and yanking it backwards to expose her neck.

"Please, spare me." She pleaded, immobilized by the shadowy figures and her fear.

Lilith plunged the dagger into her throat, listening to the pathetic gurgles she gave. "Mercy? If you wanted mercy you should have left Elric alone!" Lilith spat in her face as the life drained from the mare's eyes.

The two shadowy forms allowed the mare to drop to the ground, fusing themselves back into Lilith's body. But now Wrath wasn't alone in her mind... Greed and Lust were there too.

.oh, joy this one has more money. .

/shut up fool, I must find my next conquest./

'I am the first, you are inferior. You will follow my command before your own desires.'

"All of you! Shut up!" Lilith commanded the voices. "I am in control, this is my vengeance, my plan!"

.Can we add a bathtub full of gold somewhere in the plan?.

/ A sultry colt or mare to conquest? /

"Maybe... I mean, No." Lilith shook her head to clear it. "Silence yourselves and let me think."

'Her mind is strong, the mother bred wisely, maybe too wisely.' The voice of Wrath spoke to the others, addressing Lilith next.

'As the superior sin I will speak for the others at the moment. Greed suggests that as the next step of the plan you take the pathetic powers of the mare Sloth, and Lust is having trouble thinking about anything other than bedding the loathsome creature. The idea is sickening.'

"Thank you Wrath."

Lilith looked up to see one changeling whom she had missed attempting to limp away, he was mildly injured but would easily heal.

/You are running a bit low on energy, I could remedy that./

It was true, Lilith's power usage in the fight had seriously drained her. "I... Guess you could." Lilith gave into the pressing demand that pushed at her mind.

/Thank you. / Lust reached out to the changeling'a mind. He paused, feeling how similar the mental touch was to his previous master. Sandra?

So that was the mare's real name before she had been entirely enslaved by Lust?

"No, it's Lilith now. It's hard to explain."

Before he could question any further Lust was bombarding him with pleasure, feeding off the emotional energy he gave in his bliss.

The changeling collapsed to his side, member throbbing and spurting everywhere. Lust continued to drain the energy from his body even after he had fallen unconscious.

"Stop!" Lilith called, seeing he was nearly at death's door.

Lust ignored her, taking every last drop of the poor creatures life. /He died in ultimate bliss, he would regret nothing./

Lilith was a little sickened by what had occurred but the power flowing through her once again was undeniable. Wait, she should be appalled... No, she was appalled.

'Lilith, someone approaches.' Wrath interrupted as she was trying to clear her head from all three influences.

She looked down the street, seeing one of the guardsponies along his patrol. He stopped in shock upon seeing the piles of corpses.

"Lilith? What happened here?" He walked over to her blood splattered form.

"What does it look like?" Lilith bitterly spoke, walking over to Elric's body, placing one last kiss on his head before hefting him over her back.

"Lilith, I'm so sorry. If my patrol started five minutes earlier-"

"What's done is done, and you would have likely died too. I... I need to lay Elric to rest."

"I see," the guard looked over at the thirty plus dead changelings. "So many... Why were they here?"

"For Elric... For me... There's much you'll never know." Lilith reached into her blood soaked saddlebag, taking out her golden band and securing it upon her foreleg. "Let Celestia know that I've left. Tell her that things have changed..."

"Y.. Yes mam."

~

Lilith shed a final tear for her love as Wrath's dark apparitions pushed the last of the dirt back over him. "You died in battle, trying your best to protect the thing you loved... It's how you wanted to go, but it was too soon... Farewell Elric."

~

"I see... You may go." Celestia sat upon the throne, deep in thought. "So much death already. Lilith, Is continuing worth it?"
