Do you really believe this horseshit, Nigel?" >"But Anon," warned an annoying voice belonging to a skinny, nerdy looking man, "The rite of reappropriation is a real thing! If you go through with this, you'll be sent to purgatory until the universe decides you're needed!" "Pfft, what's the worse that could happen? I butcher a language that probably doesn't even exist? Gimme that book of yours." >"Anon, be careful with that! "Alright, let's make a bet. $20 says this shit does nothing." >"Well, I'd have to go to my bank for tha-" "A deal's a deal, fucker! Get ready to pay up." "Alright, let's see here." >The book is bound in an odd leather, and seems older than your mother. "woh tuoba lla yrôts a si siht ,wön" "nwõd edispû denrut-deppïlf tog efil ym" "etünim a ekåt ot ?kil d'I dna" "ereht thgir tis tsuj" "ria leb dellac nwot a fo ecñirp eht emaceb I woh uoy llet ll'?" >A horrendous writhing and crackling sound is heard all around you, slithering around your head and momentarily lingering beside your ears before moving on to now be coming from the book. >Instinctively, you drop the book. >At least you try to. >The book appears to have grafted itself to your hands. "OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK!" >Your nerdy fuckwit of a friend is simply standing there, staring in shock. "NIGEL, HELP ME YOU JEWISH ASSHAT!" >He's not moving and just continues to stare. >A movement from the book redirects your attention as a black tar-like tentacle creeps out. >OH SHIT NIGGER >HOW CAN YOU NOPE YOURSELF OUT OF THIS ONE? >Before you can nope off to never land, the tentacle lunges itself at you and wraps around your neck and shoulders. >More tentacles come from the pages and begin grabbing you all over. >The tentacles lift you into the air and the book remains levitating where it was, still grafted to your hands. >The tentacles line you up head first pointed into the book, and in one sudden violent motion, you're sent through the pages of the book with many a sickening crunch and rapid waves of pain. >With all but your fingers through this rape portal, the book slams closed, crushing your fingers which just now finally become ungrafted. >The book drops to the floor and all is quiet as Nigel looks on in utter disbelief. >After what seems like an eternity, he finally speaks. >"Well, looks like I get that $20!" >Well. >This is purgatory, apparently. >Everything is black, with blobs of color pulsing in and out, like when you close your eyes. >You can't feel your body, and have a complete lack of orientation and spatial positioning. >All you can do is think. >Let's see... What happens now? >Well, that Nigel faggot said it was a "Rite of reappropriation", and go figure, you're in purgatory until the universe decides you're needed. >How long is that going to be? >Haven't a clue, but it's probably going to be a while in this place. >An indeterminable interim of solitude and nothing but your thoughts. >Isn't that a recipe for insanity? >Guess we'll find out. >It feels like a length of time incapable of being comprehended by the human mind has passed, and yet you remain sane. >You thought for years and years, then decided to just stop until something happened. >And guess what happened. Nothing. So why did you resume thinking? >You don't know, but something is off. >A small bright tear has appeared in front of you! >The tear widens and widens, and you can see shapes. >You're raised to this tear, and are slowly stuffed through, the tear conforming to your body's various shape as you arise. >Blinded by this sudden experience of light, you clamp your eyes shut. >Suddenly the rising stops and you slowly open your eyes to the bright shapes around you. When you open your eyes, you see... (4/9) >You see two horses in front of you. >One is midnight blue, the other white. >Why are they wearing jewelry? >Also, why do they have horns and wings? >You reach your hand to pinch yourself, but are alarmed when all that meets your body is a stump. "What the fuck?!" >Your look down and see a body similar to the two horses in front of you, except it has a dark crimson coat and a matching set of long, jet black mane and tail. >On its ass is what you get when you mix a satanic pentagram and a heart together to make a satanic heartogram, complete with arcane symbols inside of it. >Said mark consists of golden lines, contrasting with and complementing the dark crimson coat it sits upon. >Moving upwards, there lays a set of wings demonic dragon-like wings on its back, with the main bone structure the same dark crimson red as the body, black bony looking talons at each main joint of the wing, and a dark grey thin membrane acting as the airfoil of the wing. >Even further up from that is a neck, which extends to... >Your head. >This is your body. >What on God's green earth is going on here?! >"Ahem" >Looking back to the horses, the white one speaks. >"If you're done acting like you've never seen your body before, we have some business to discuss." >"Indeed", the blue one adds, "Time is of great importance here." "What the hell is going on here?" >Woah. >Was that your voice? It couldn't be, this voice was that of a seductive female, deep and sultry; and yet it originated from you. >With a slight scowl, the white one answers "You see, the reason why we have summoned you here is because Equestria has fallen into great danger, and-" "Hold up just one god damn minute here... I wasn't asking for story time here, I was asking oh, you know, WHY THE FUCK AM I A HORSE?! Where the badgerfuck am I, and what the hell is going on?!" >The horses have a combination of shock, anger, and confusion on their faces. "Well? The question isn't going to answer itself, out with it!" >The blue one looks pissed right now, like you had shit on the rug. >"YOU DARE SPEAK SO UNCOUTHLY TO YOUR SUMMONERS, MUCH LESS ROYALTY?! REDEEM WHAT GOOD GRACES YOU CAN, FOR TARTARUS IS NOTING COMPARED TO-" >A white hoof raised in front of butthurt blue served to silence it and turn their anger down from a boil to more of a simmer. >"You must just be unused to your form," speculated whitey, "and as I recall, demons are sometimes pulled from different dimensions." >Demon? What is she talking about? >"My name is Princess Celestia, and that is my sister, Princess Luna. Together we rule over the land of Equestria, home to peaceful ponies." >Well, things are starting to add up at least. Not really. >"Now, admittedly royalty summoning a war demon such as yourself is not an every day occurrence. Equestria is in utmost danger, and we are willing to make a contract with you to save our nation." >"Sister," Luna says through her teeth with great contempt, "We think that is not a war demon." >"What?" >Celestia's gaze directs its attention to your rump, or moreover the heartogram that lays upon it. >She stares at it for a moment, a look of "well, shit" clear on her face. >"Luna, do you remember what type of blood the summoning rite called for?" >"The blood of one with traits you wished to instill into the demon, so long as the owner was confident and had a fiery passion in them." >"And who's blood did you use?" >"Loyalty's, we wished to have the demon loyal to us." >"Loyalty does have a fiery passion, but she lacks the confidence component when it comes to her... sexuality." >Luna drops her attention from you and looks at her sister, slight confusion on her face. >"What role does that play in all of this?" >"The blood used in the rite directly determines which type of demon is summoned," Celestia informs, "Loyalty's fiery passion and troubled sexuality combined to create a succubus, not a war demon." >The sudden revelation shows through on Luna's face, and she sits there, a dumbfounded look on her face. >"If you'll excuse us for a moment, Luna and I have something to discuss together in the hallway." >Celestia trots over to a set of dark wooden doors, Luna following with slight hesitation. >The doors creak open and close as they disappear into the hallway. >Even though the door is thick wood and metal, you can hear them bicker with each other through the slight gap at the bottom of the door. >Looking around the room for the first real time, you make note of its details. >First is the lighting, there's a few collections of candles throughout the medium sized room, but most of the light is coming from the circle. >Speaking of, the circle is your typical pentagram, made of glowing golden chalk, candles at the star points, and glyphs strewn about. >Further out is a ring surrounding the summoning circle, made of what you imagine is salt. >The walls are adorned with shelves, containing occult trinkets and many tomes of esoteric knowledge, such as... >Demon butt stuff and you, Volume 7?! >You don't know what was more concerning, how thick it was, or that two princesses owned it. >Putting the thought aside, you notice some of the stuff that was used to summon you. >Silver dagger, chalice of blood, and... A maid's costume covered in goo. >Christ, this had to of been the weirdest summoning ever. >The bickering in the hall quickly heightens, and just as quickly stops.
