Seeing Red.

Looking behind him, Eternicus was pleased to hear Mera’s voice, believing she had returned from her trip to the Watch Tower with the diamond they created together. But the woman that stepped out into the open light of the throne room from behind a pillar was not the Queen of Atlantis at all. She looked like her, almost her identical face and figure, but her suit was a ruby red with gold highlights and her fiery red hair was a lavender purple. Combing through her purple hair and giving the dragon a sultry smile sashaying towards him, Hila approached and gave the man an appraising look.

“Queen Mera? You… Look different, are we trying out a different apparel?” Asked the dragon in human form, intrigued by the woman’s appearance.

Smiling back at the lord of dragons, the woman crossed her arms and stood with a tilt of her hip as she gave the man a haughty smirk. “I am not the queen of Atlantis, I am her sister; Hila, but you may call me Siren.” Tapping a purple nailed finger to her pursed lips, Hila crossed her arms more tightly and deliberately pushed up her bust to show off her cleavage in the v-cut of her suit. Her leering eyes fluttering at how handsome the man was up close now that she was in front of him, before she approached closer to see him eye to eye.

“I have been spying on you from afar, watching, learning… I KNOW about what you’ve been doing with my sister.”

“Oh?” He asked, raising an eyebrow to the woman’s accusations, watching as she circled him.

Still circling the man, Hila licked her lips before facing the man again eye to eye, her smirk becoming more salacious. “I have to wonder… How will the King react when he discovers his wife was in your bed? Such a scandal would shake the kingdom to its very core!”

Tilting his head in curiosity, Eternicus shared in her smirk, amused at the woman’s attempt at ****. “Truth be told, I had hopes that the Queen was strong enough to conceive a dragon, a personal goal of mine.” He revealed to the woman, seeing no reason to withhold information. “My kind has not been able to reproduce in eons, I created the aspects in the hopes of no longer being alone in the universe, but in all of these millennia, I have been met with one failure after the other... What are you seeking Hila; sister to Queen Mera?”

“MY sister was always the ‘weak’ one.” Chuckled Hila, approaching the silver robed man, and draping her hands over his shoulders. “I have seen the power you exude and the effects it has on the living, after your little tryst together, my sister has become… Greater, empowered, more beautiful than ever.”

“Oh?”

“I belong to a faction that opposes the King and Queen, the legion of the Black Manta! He and I believe only the STRONG should rule, and I am FAR stronger than my sister.” With a flick of her hand, Eternicus was surprised to find the waters around them swirl and churn, some areas becoming more dense until it appeared as if the water became solid, becoming constructs of solid water in the form of sharks that circled the two. “Grant me the same boon you gave my sister… And perhaps the King will not hear that his Queen has shared your bed, hmm?”

Looking down at the haughty siren, Eternicus was impressed with the audacity of Mera’s crueller and more ambitious sister. But he also disliked the idea of the kingdom being left in such turmoil… He owed Mera quite a bit for her assistance and guidance so far. Plans running through his complex mind, Eternicus smiled back down to the woman.

“Very well, I shall agree to your terms.” Pulling the woman close by her waist, Hila found her lips capture in his… And her mind exploded. Eyes wide and breathing sharply, Hila could feel a surge of energy course through her. Her heart pounded in her chest as she felt her muscles tense and her chest heave. Her V-cup split further down her naval when her breasts swelled a cup larger, exposing her naval become more muscular. The seams down the calves of her suit split, unable to contain her burgeoning thighs and widening hips. The seams in her shoulders tore and her hair grew longer until it reached her lower back. When Eternicus pulled away, Hila was left panting and gasping for air as if she had spent the last few seconds running for hours. Before she would have been described as beautiful as her sister, now she had becoming stunning.

“Do you wish for more?”

“Hmm…” Softly cooing out a moan of approval, Eternicus guided the woman with him to his personal chambers

Meanwhile, in Gotham city…

A pair of cars were being chased by police, escaping the scene of a bank robbery, and travelling as fast as they could into the Gotham narrows. At a crossing, the two vehicles turned in opposite directions, forcing the police cruiser chasing them to pick one or the other. Choosing the one that turned left, the one that turned right escaped and continued at top speed down the narrows until they managed to get to the slums of the city. Stopping at a parking lot and abandoning the car, the four scrambled to gather their booty and belongings from the trunk and run two blocks to the abandoned hotel across the street.

Once inside, the group were unphased by the dichotomy of the building’s interior. On one side, the building was well furbished, clean, and well kept, but the other side was dilapidated, festering and dark. The hallways, rooms and stairs were all painstakingly made that way, all to please their boss.

“We made it boss! And they fell for it, just like you said.” Cheered one of the goons as he and the others dropped four duffle bags stuffed with bundles of money onto the floor. His back turned, their boss flipped a silver dollar in his hand to pass the time as his crew closed the door behind them. He was wearing a black and white suit, where one side was white and the other black and dirty. Still flipping his coin in his hand while the goons gathered their things.

“That’s what I like to hear boys… WeRe YoU FoLlOwEd?” He asked, his voice changing from smooth to raspy and coarse when the coin landed in his hand.

“No boss, they went after the other car just like you said they would.”

Turning around, Two-Face glared back at his goons with his glazed bad eye, making them flinch when he flipped his coin again and the flashing of red and blue lights could be seen outside. “ThEn WhY Do I SeE CoPpErS OuTsIdE My DaMn WiNdOw?!”

Confused, the four were at a loss for words. Until Harvey Dent stepped forward and brushed past them to look down at the duffle bags and rummage the stack of bills until he spotted what he was looking for. Standing back up, he flicked the tracker at his men. “You led them hear… YoU OAtTa DiE FoR ThAt…” Pulling a revolver out of his suit jacket, the others backed away, ignoring the police outside calling for their surrender while their boss aimed a gun at the leader of the goons. The good half of his face softened when he raised the coin. “We should be fair though, give you a chance to explain your…”

Suddenly an intense red light filled the room, drawing and focusing on Two-Face as he looked up and gasped. Before the eyes of everyone present, they watched as Harvey Dent’s face began to heal. Then he began to scream, clutched at his face as the light intensified. The men suddenly became overwhelmed with anger, long buried stress, spats, and grudges drove them to attack each other while their boss hunched over and clutched at his sides. The back of his suit burst open, revealing armored red scales, his shoes bursting open to free fierce talons while the rest of his body began to grow and change. A tail tore free from behind his pants, becoming armored in red craggy scales and tipped with a fierce looking cluster of boney spines. His button shirt and jacket finally fell off him in tatters, revealing swelling muscles armored in thick red scales like a crocodile. Falling to his knees and clutching at his face, Harvey screamed when he felt his skull spread and divide. A groove formed down his forehead and down his chin, the two halves growing further apart until it looked like his skull would split in two. Then it did. Both halves began to change and grow, sporting two separate necks that stretched longer, new eyes and ears formed on the inner halves until the creature he was turning into looked like it had two separate heads. Both heads became more and more reptilian, sprouting horns and became enveloped in red scales and boney quills that lined down their cheeks and chins like bearded dragons.

Outside, the police watched on as the column of red light entered the building and focussed like a strobe light at the top floor. The sounds of screaming and yelling confused the police at the ground before they too found themselves suddenly feeling frustrated and angry. The ambient red glow intensifying inside.

“What the HELL is going ON in there?!” Barked out one of the police, breathing hard with stress and anger suddenly.

“I don’t fucking know! Piss off!”

“Fuck you!”

“You wanna go?!”

“JUST TRY IT!!!”

Before a fight broke out amongst the police ****, a massive red scaled claw burst from the celling of the two-story building, gripping the steel and brickwork of the building with enough strength to crumble the stone. A tail burst out the side and curled around a police cruiser, crushing it in its coils. Then the building collapsed and exploded outward altogether, sending dust and debris across the entire street when two pairs of red leathery wings unfolded and stretched out, followed by a pair of serpentine heads rearing up to roar and send the police into an almost murderous rage, fighting with one another. A spiralling column of red plasma escaped the two-headed dragon’s fanged maws and shot out into the night sky, turning the clouds red and making it rain blood for almost a dozen city blocks.

Looking down, the two serpentine heads sniffed the air and flicked their forked tongues, glaring down at the rabble of police and locals suddenly going into brawls in his presence.

“Justice…” “****…” Looking to each other as if for the first time, the two heads hissed at each other. “JUSTICE!" “****!” The two heads growled, snapping at each other until they looked up into the night sky. Up high they could see a cluster of dozens if not hundreds of red lights overhead. The lights of the red lantern corps had arrived, having followed him this entire time to Earth. Looking back down to the streets, the two closed their eyes and the red light receded. When it did, the police and public suddenly stopped fighting. The intense anger and rage fading instantly.

“We… We are anger, we are RAGE, we are the red dragon…” Looking back up, the two snorted. “And THEY don’t belong!” Spreading his wings, the two-headed dragon took flight.

“YES! YEESSSSSS!!!” Scream Hila, tossing her hair and moaning out loud while she straddled Eternicus in bed. The kiss was the most incredible experience in her entire life, she never felt so energised, so ALIVE! She had clung to the man as he guided her back to his sleeping quarters, offered to him by the king and queen of Atlantis. She did not think it could get any more incredible for her. But after he captured her lips into another kiss and began to disrobe her. She found that she was wrong, dead wrong. “More! MORE! It is incredible! Please… MORE!”

Sitting up and clasping his mouth around one of her stiff nipples while she straddled him, the woman instinctively thrust her chest forward to smother his face, rearing her head back to cry out loud as he licked and sucked at the stiff nub of her breast, her bust expanding under his hands. Continuing to flood her body with his power, its effects apparent as the minutes went by and her muscles throbbed stronger, her curves flaring larger, her beauty more glamorous. If anyone would see her now, they would have thought her to be her name sake; her beauty and figure so alluring she would have lured sailors to their deaths from just the sight of her, and yet she continued to change.

Laying back onto his back, Eternicus gently grasped at her widening hips and thighs as she absorbed more and more of his energies, thrusting hard into her nethers and smiling as she shuddered and convulsed with pleasure. Her slick with sweat as her hands roamed over her powerful body.

“Can you imagine it Hila? The skies filled with the winged silhouettes of my progeny blotting out the sun with their wings. Do you believe you would be the one to bear the first generation of a race of dragons?”

Hila did not respond coherently, her mind so overwhelmed with pleasure as one orgasm after the other crashed through her, all she could do was flutter her eyes and moaned out a gurgling grunt as a response. Groping at her rear, her ass continued to swell larger, wider, meatier. Her flanks doing the same as she became more muscular, her waist remained narrow and waspish het her stomach was flat and defined with powerful abdominal muscles and Eternicus was sure her back had become just as strong. It would have to be to support her now H cup breasts, full and proud they heaved off her chest like ripe melons begging to be sucked as they swayed heavily with each buck and grind of her hips against his. Tossing her long flowing lavender hair again, her moaning mouth showed fangs form behind her lips, her fluttering eyes becoming reptilian.

Already it was beginning to happen, he knew sooner or later his essence would begin to change her, evolve her as she became less human and more dragon-like. Her supple and perfect skin shimmered with what appeared to be a sheen of sweat before it became apparent, she was becoming scaly; covered in smooth lavender scales that shimmered as if her skin was moist. Her tongue lolling out of her pouting lips to extend down her chin and down her neck before hissing back behind her fanged teeth. Her feet shifted behind her, creak-cracking with the shifting of bones as her toes became clawed, as did her fingers while she tossed her hair or hefted her full, round breasts in her clawed hands. “More! Moar! MOAR!!!” She husked and moaned in a deeper feminine voice, gasping as a pair of nubs bulged above her brow and finally split open to reveal a pair of horns that grew and arched behind her scalp, followed by another pair that grew and tried to catch up to the now foot long lengths of ivory now framing her beautiful face like a crown or head dress. Her hair grew long and wild like the mane of a lion, draping down her spine laden back and down her shoulders. Catching her breath, Hila closed her eyes and winced, a look of something building up in her before foot long spines jutted out of her back, she cried out and a tail sprouted out behind her, growing longer and meatier until it was over ten feet long and as stout as one of her legs.

“Is this what you want Hila? To be a broodmare to my kind? To swarm the air, lands, and oceans with my kind? OUR kind?”

“Yesssssss… MORE! MORE! MOAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!” With a roar of release, Hila raked her claws down the wall behind the bed frame as she felt Eternicus erupt into her pussy, her inner muscles squeezing him for every drop of his essence as her mind exploded in mind shattering orgasm. Going limp, Hila collapsed heavily on top of Eternicus and rolled onto her side, passed out from the experience. Sitting up from the bed, the grey-haired man smiled down at the changed woman. Had she been standing on her clawed toes she would have been well over 8 feet tall. Powerfully built yet very much feminine with her flaring curves and angelic face, Hila the Siren had grown and transformed into a dragonoid creature. Breathing deeply, Hila swooned and curled up in the bed as she rode out the orgasm that still lingered through her, trembling with pleasure but too exhausted to stay awake. But despite his smile and wistful shake of his head, deep down he was quite disappointed.

“Sigh… Another failure.” Slowly getting up from the bed, the man snapped his fingers and almost instantly his body was cleaned and redressed. “You held out quite well my dear, but I’m afraid your body could not handle any more energies, if I had continued, you would have been destroyed… Just like the Parasite.” Hearing her moan in her sleep, he continued. “Now HE was able to take in quite a bit, he even became like us before he could contain anymore, but alas. Instead of a dragon, you have become a Kobold; a dragon spawn… Still, perhaps it is not all tragic, hmm?”

Raising one of his hands, Eternicus concentrated, focusing his energies into a gem the size of a cherry in the palm of his hand. “Although I feel Queen Mera will be most unhappy with your state, I doubt you will cause trouble to the Atlanteans anymore, she MAY even feel your fate was preordained.” Walking around the bed to stand over the sleeping anthropomorphic dragon woman, Eternicus nestled the gem in her clawed hand, almost as a gift and leaned down to whisper into her pointed ear.

“When you awaken and feel drawn to return to your… Black Manta, the one you are affiliated to, feed him this gem.”

Turning, Eternicus left his quarters.

Curling up in the bed, Hila swooned and moaned in her sleep, clutching the pearl in her clawed hand while her mind swam. “Hmm… Arthur…”
