Disrupt the dream.

Niki looks to see yet another person stepping up to threaten her position, and then another. There are three garbed entirely in brown robes. All she can make out are feminine faces, and voices when they speaks. It doesn't look like they're armed either. They stands there--wind blowing over the fabric of their attire like rolling sand dunes. Niki isn't one to turn down a challenge, so she steps right up to the one up front and cracks her knuckles with a grin across her face.

"You too?" Niki mocks.

"If you're so tough, then let's fight. All three of us. We won't use weapons," the mysterious woman says.

"Oh you've got yourself a deal! And I won't either."

"You're an arrogant fool."

The crowd begins to cheer, as when Niki fights, it's always a show. Though little does she now, this will be a whole different kind of show.

In unison, the three women throw off their robes to reveal their avian bodies. It's the three harpies from way back. The leader with long black hair crosses her arms with a smirk on her face while her two sisters bolt forwards with impressive speed. They grab Niki's arms and pin them down into the ground with their powerful talons. Then, the third finally steps up to easily pin down her legs, and proceeds to lean down to look her dead in the eyes--hair tickling her face.

"She's just getting started!" someone shouts from the crowd.

"Go Niki!" cheers another.

Little do they know, but it's far too late. She may have the strength to escape, but not for long.

The head harpy brings her feathered arms down over Niki's body. She shivers. Then, they start to wiggle up against her sides. Niki can't help but burst out laughing as she's helplessly tickled, and her face floods with colour. The feathers move down over her thighs, up her stomach, and then come to a teasing stop just as they reach her armpits.

Niki pants. "D-Damn it... You won't--Nooo~!"

She drags the feathers gently up and down against the sensitive skin. "I won't what?"

"Mercy! Mercy!"

But there is none. She begins tickling her pits like mad. Her forehead drips with sweat, but that isn't the only part getting wet.

"Wait... What's happening?" someone from the audience says. The crowd starts to fall quiet.

"She isn't as strong as I thought," whispers another.

Then, the harpy's talon steps down on Niki's chest. She clutches all that covers her tits, and tears it off with a single yank, causing her breasts to spill out. Everybody watches in awe.

"No, no, no!" Niki cries. She struggles in her bindings.

The onslaught continues. Her body is tickled thoroughly, and her body is heating up towards a climax. She looks in embarrassment at the reactions from those around her. Her teeth clench. She growls. Finally, with all of her might, she throws the harpies off her body and leaps to her feet!

Still uncovered from the waist up, she wraps her arms around her chest and starts hustling away--legs wobbling. She makes her way into one of the nearby tents but then everything goes white.

There's nothing now. The sound of the audience is gone.

She shuts her eyes, shakes her head, and as she opens them, there's something new.

So far, you've been pushing on her dream, though not even that much. It mostly guides itself. So, you're curious what's even going to happen. You provide little dashes of spice now and then, but it's mostly created from Niki's mind.

She's a little bit younger now. Her outfit is mostly the same as you know it as, though missing all pieces of metal. It looks like this was before she started her adventure. Around her is a camp filled with other sunhearts all within a desert of beautiful rolling sand. However, she's away from the rest. Niki moves quietly into a tent near the edge of town where an old man sits in silence with a large tome in his hands.

As she enters, he lowers the book and eyes her over. "Niki... You really want to go through with this."

"Yeah I do," she replies. "Let's go while nobody else is looking."

"I have to warn you again. Having two marks is dangerous, and you're so young."

"I don't care! I need to get stronger."

"And where do you want this second mark?"

"Right here!" As she speaks, she grabs the fabric around her bust and yanks it up, dropping her tits from their binding. One tattoo is already present on the right, though her left is completely blank.

His eyes widen in surprise. "What?! Put that down!"

After she slips her top back on, she takes a step backwards, though there is no longer ground present behind her. She trips and falls. Her heart sinks as her feet no longer touch ground, and the world around her fades into a void. She tries to call out, but there's nobody there. Everybody is gone. She stretches up her hand to grab something to stop her descent, but there's nothing around her.

Suddenly, she falls into the arms of the silhouette from earlier. She looks up to its vacant face, but then it starts to take shape. No longer is it a featureless shadow.

It's you.

As she reaches up to touch your face, everything goes blank. You're not certain what's going on other than that you know Niki is finally safe and sound. You're back to being on your own, however.
