It has been days since the cursed book that Spike found was gotten rid of. Rarity was consumed by its power that she became obsessed by its spells, using it to make everything in Ponyville and soon Equestria beautiful and perfect only to what she saw fit. Once Spike admitted his disfavor towards the ideas she made, she was free from the wicked curse. Or at least, that’s what eveypony thought. Once in a while, there have been short outbursts of the book’s magic from Rarity, where she saw the need to perfect herself. She discovered that lamias began to be the most admired creatures of Equestria and soon studied a transformation spell where she too can be a beautiful lamia. Her friends began to notice her strange behavior, especially Merc Fox. He was an orange Pegasus stallion that Rarity met at one of Canterlot’s galas and admittedly grew a big liking towards. This delved into the unicorn’s slithery mind as she grew a desire to have a pony caught in her coils, maybe even a mate to keep and she knew exactly who would be suitable for that. And he just so happens to be at the door. Merc visited the boutique to check up on her since she has remained there for days, only to see a beautiful mare greeting him happily. She managed to change back into a pony and could turn between forms at will, or at least, when her desires grew severe. He asked many questions and suggested coming out and hanging with her friends in Ponyville or Manehatten. She tried to listen, but just hearing him urged her to turn into a lamia more and keep him to herself. She made subtle hints on him staying with her in the boutique and when he was just curious enough, she transformed into her lovely snake body. Before Merc could ask about this predicament, Rarity coils up the mercenary and reveals beautiful white and blue rings. The new seductress suggests Merc to remain in his coils, to stay in her boutique with her as her mate and lover. The entranced pony immediately accepted his mistress’ alluring commands, becoming entirely obedient to the unicorn snake. He loved being nuzzled and massaged in the fashionista’s coils, feeling how graceful and caring they were. Her pearl scales were too amazing to be away from. Sadly, the two couldn’t stay there for so long, so Rarity had to let her new mate go for now. She did, however, place new mindsets into Merc, mindsets that made him completely in love with her even when out of the trance and that he was aware of her lamia form. Days later, he returns to the boutique, seeing his hypnotic mate working on dresses for lamias in particular. She becomes aware of his presence, more than ready to coil and hypnotize her love into a long time of kisses and cuddling.
