Supplicants

Mingling or speaking with the demons wasn't exactly something any of the group wanted to do, but they couldn't deny that learning might be useful. They approached the least dangerous looking demon they could find, which turned out to be a fairly human looking figure with pale skin, tiny horns and an androgynous body. Similar to Li in fact. Yulia wondered if it was another imp in disguise, but regardless they carried on and asked the figure what this room was for.

"We are waiting for an audience with the Archdemon of Gifts," the demon answers, "it is of course up to the demon's discretion whether or not they deem us worthy in the end, but every demon hopes for an audience and a chance to prove they are worthy of a gift. Receiving a gift from the Archdemon themselves is a high honor and often a speedy path to promotion," the demon responds,

"not as speedy as this slut's..." another demon responds glaring at Yulia. Yulia ignores him and continues to ask questions.

"Promotion?" she questions and the demon nods.

"Yes... Most of us here are fairly low born demons. Imps, lesser demons, by the will of the Abyss we can be promoted, evolved into a greater form. Proper demons, -cubi, Dealmakers, specialists, pit lords, Abyssal Guardians... Obviously with the only current opening taken by you, archdemon isn't an option, but we'll see... After all you haven't accepted yet," the demon finishes.

"Huh... Well that's interesting... So... how do you know if you're granted an audience?" Yulia asks.

"Well that's easy. You'll hear a voice call to you and tell you you will be received," they answer.

"And then you just head down the steps?" the demon blinks at Yulia, seemingly confused by her question.

"What... Down the steps, why would-" they are interrupted as Yulia suddenly hears Dahlia calling to her.

"Hey, stop wasting time with the rabble and come say hi. We have... a lot to talk about," Dahlia says and Yulia is momentarily confused. No one else seems to have heard Dahlia.

Yulia turns to the rest of the group who did seem to hear Dahlia as well and Isalia shrugs, "Well... the voices did seem to want us to visit her anyway. We can check out the stairs later," she says and Yulia nods and the group head to the door. Surprisingly the demons all seem to freeze and watch intently as Yulia and the others head through the door. On the other side there's quite a difference from Dahlia's normal room. Instead of the normal shop there is a large throne room. Laying luxuriously on the throne is Dahlia, her wing like cloak is now in fact a set of batlike wings that hug her body like a leathery dress, covering the fact she seems to be otherwise entirely naked. The penny drops and Yulia groans.

"You're the Archdemon of gifts?" she asks and Dahlia nods.

"I am indeed. Not always, I technically replaced a previous archdemon, in a similar situation to you in fact. Killed him, took his place and turned his little deal making job into a proper enterprise. Now I'm something akin to the right hand of the Abyss and the Left hand of the Tower itself. It's a position of unique authority, but our deal hasn't changed, Yulia. A fetish for a boon, just as always," she says and then leaps out of the throne landing in front of Yulia, her wings spreading outwards, revealing her fully nude form, "speaking of deals though... I do hope you say yes to becoming the new Archdemon of Lust. It means you and I will get to play quite often," she says and moves her hands running them from her neck down seductively over her breasts and to her cunt, slipping a finger inside of herself with a moan, "Ash always enjoyed himself with me," she moaned out and Yulia visibly shivers watching Dahlia.

Behind Dahlia a slender demon tail whips out making a loud cracking noise as it strikes the air and Yulia jumps and then groans and drops to her knees. Cherchiel immediately runs up to her and kneels beside her, making sure she's okay, "what did you just do to her?" Cherchiel yells at Dahlia and Dahlia giggles.

"Sent her over the edge my little show had brought her too... If I had to guess she's imaging what it would feel like to have me pounding her while whipping her with my tail," Dahlia says and Yulia exhales slowly, seemingly validating Dahlia's theory, "we already know you're mine, Yulia," Dahlia says turning away and walking back to her throne with a gentle sway to her hips, her tail casually whipping from side to side in time with the gentle swaying of her hips and the mesmerizing movement of her perfect round ass. She sits back in her throne, one leg raising to place her foot on the arm of the throne as the other leg slips down, making sure her cunt is on full view as she reclines in the throne.

"So, what do you want now? The voices think you should get a utility spell and I think they're on to something, but maybe... Just maybe they should be given a moment to rethink their position, after all they have learned a few new things that might... change their opinions," Dahlia answers and licks her lips, looking straight into the camera equivalent with a sultry look.

Yulia grips Cherchiel's shoulder as she stands back up, her panties are soaked and she's humiliated that Dahlia had brought her to orgasm without even touching her and had so clearly read her desires. She was embarrassed, angry and aroused and the realization that she was aroused at being angry and humiliated only made her more aroused and more angry and humiliated. Cherchiel places a hand on Yulia's back trying to comfort and calm her, but it doesn't help much, Yulia tries to stare at Dahlia's face, but her eyes keep slipping down to her full, but modest breasts and her clean shaven cunt. The lips of which are the same dark purple as her nipples and her lips.

"Oh... and because I know one of the voices wanted to know... What awaits you down those stairs... Is the Abyss. It waits down there for you, to either accept it's deal or not and if not... well you want passage to the next floor, you'll have to find a way to get it to grant you that passage..." Dahlia adds.
