The Fire Returns.

Blue was quite a way when she left you and Seriath to explore the ancient ruin that now hosts this succubi tribe. Yet, as she sneaks through cracks and uses her liquid form to pass undetected, even she could feel something unsettling presenting itself.

She didn't know what nor where, so she kept her wits and continued to overview what entrances laid and what was closed off. There were only two places that were sealed off and guarded by a few succubi. If that wasn't an indication of where to progress, then she didn't know what was. Even though Seriath likely already knew how to progress through her tribe, Blue's sense of exploration didn't want to wait.

Satisfied with the knowledge she gained, she stealthily moved to find her way back to you. Luckily, she knows your scent and imprint enough to track you but what she did not expect is to find Janaeya standing in front of a small clay home that was embedded into the rocks. She reverts to her feminine form as she approaches the succubus warrior.

"I expected a bigger place to house a succubus queen," Blue comments, looking around her.

Janaeya widens her eyes at the familiar talking slime and then her gaze hardens. "We must be more discrete right now. Your master is in a troubled state so I had to find somewhere that isn't traveled by often by my sisters. My queen is currently trying to mend him. Where were you, if I may ask?"

Blue flinches at the unexpected news. She would ignore the incorrect assumption of "master". More importantly, how could her adventurer be in trouble? Wasn't it supposed to be smooth sailing with a succubus queen at his side?

"What?! I just went to scout the area, but why would there be trouble? What kind?!"

The loyal succubus bites her lip, trying to think of the best way to explain. Out of respect for her dear sister, she didn't want to badmouth you as even she had to commend you for not going crazy at the sight of her sisters who were gathering at the fountain. Kylesa, however, was an unexpected presence that couldn't be matched and it would be unfair to expect the appropriate amount of willpower from a human.

"Our oldest sister in our tribe, Kylesa, awoke while we were gone. It wasn't something I or my queen could have anticipated and the human was not able to handle her presence well. He went into a mental shock."

Blue freezes and is reminded of feeling something unsettling after she left. That could not have been a mere coincidence and if it's able to put you into shock, then it meant that Seriath is clearly not the top dog in this tribe. For Blue, this news makes her upset.

"I don't understand. I thought Seriath is the queen? Shouldn't she be the most powerful one?"

Janaeya shakes her head sadly. "While I am proud to say my queen is exceptionally capable, all of us and her were taught through Kylesa at one point. She only transferred responsibility to my sister a hundred years ago and then preserves her strength by going into bouts of sleep that could last months."

Blue growls, staring at the ground annoyed. "...and she just happened to wake up when we wanted to stroll through. Is she going to obstruct us?"

"I don't know," Janaeya answers apologetically, "...but, she has already disapproved of the human."

Blue snorts and looks away, pain hidden behind her jelly frame. "Sometimes, I disapprove of him as well."

Yet, she doesn't want to see you come to harm. After days of traveling together, you are the first in years to express trust in her and now, it seems Blue has to trust Seriath to keep her adventurer's sanity.

"Oh, master!"

"Seriath!"

The succubus' "mending" is progressing well now that you are in a position with your desire returning. As a result, you are also in a position where Seriath rides your member, moving her hips smoothly while you reach out and grab her chest. She gazes at you ecstatically, her moans only encouraging you to move your own hips in sync with hers.

A few things changed once your libido returned. No longer were you and Seriath surrounded by darkness, but instead, it became a white void. With it, you realize you could think more clearly and had some control in changing the scenery just as Seriath dominated your dreams before.

With energy actively exchanging between you and the succubus, and your current weakened state, there is an apparently low risk of ejecting the succubus unlike before. What this means is that when you "cum", if Seriath isn't removed from your mindscape, then you haven't recovered completely. As a result, it feels like an eternity while you and Seriath lose yourself in pleasure.

While you don't feel necessarily weak, you have to believe it as you are able to impossibly keep maintaining sex with her without interruption. Even your lower member doesn't grow soft, but that may be due to being in your own mental landscape.

As for Seriath, she is overjoyed to be able to mentally bond with her master. Of course, she also feels better about your mental recovery the more you are able to exert control. That is, the longer you are able to hold out in the mind, the better overall.

Speaking of which, her head lurches back and once again, she gasps as you fill her with energy again. Neither you or Seriath kept count, but there is a noticeable increase in length before she feels a return. Breathing hard, she collapses on top of you and nuzzles her head below your chin. You have to adjust slightly, wary of her horns one day stabbing you.

Her chest moves up and down as she breathes, humming contently as your cock remains inside of her. Despite releasing in the dream, it quivers and holds out, reminding you again that it seems impossible to go limp while in your mindscape. You'd like to think of it as a measurement of how stable you are, but you think that'll make a fool out of yourself if you mention it to the succubus.

You keep your thoughts to yourself and wrap your arms around the red-haired beauty. She sighs contently, moving her hands behind your arms to lock on the respective soldier. Then, she whispers to you unexpectedly.

"Master, I love you."

It doesn't seem long and you didn't want to place any deep feelings to a monster woman you were bound to recently, but hearing that for the first time, it makes you wonder how much time has truly passed. There's much to her that you feel like you don't know.

You feel like you need to respond to her statement, but before you could. She leans forward and silences you with a kiss. You let out a muffled grunt and then slide your hands down her back, grabbing the ample flesh that is her bottom.

Kissing back, your cock is invigorated further and you slowly move your hips again. When she parts from you, she lets out a sharp gasp and then chuckles. When she smiles, you can't help but snort and smile back. You feel silly for thinking so hard about it all as the succubus' kiss gives you further clarity.

She's saving your life as of this moment! While she may have consumed countless souls and even was about to add yours to it, she released them all and seemingly changed after bounding herself to you. She may be mischevious and sex-hungry, but you find her to be also charming of your own will. Good or bad shouldn't matter at all in this case.

Although you never expected to find love with a monster woman, you had to find peace with it. If, and big "if", you were to leave this cavern-turned-ancient ruin, Seriath would no doubt be a permanent part of your life.

Alia would still remain in the back of your mind and you hope to discover the reason behind her disappearance but for now, you can only move forward with what you have.

"I love you too."

Seriath's smiles more warmly now. "I know. Your thoughts are clear to me and I hope mines are as well."

More time passes.

You and Seriath shiver as you ejaculate once more. Every time you've released into her, you notice a small increase in clarity. The endless space around you also feels ...cleaner.

You have a feeling the succubus will probably be ejected from you soon after the next ejaculation.

Seriath held the same feeling as well. Her smile lessens and then she raises her hips up, releasing your still hard member. You raise one of your eyebrows and then gently stroke Seriath's arm as she lifts up slightly.

"Something wrong?"

"You are pretty much stable now, master. Before you wake up though, I want to show you something. I fear that my older sister will not let us continue or let me transfer my duties as a leader for my tribe. She may try to test you to see if you're worthy and if that happens, it's necessary to explain what she's capable of."

You flatten your lips, worried about what you might see; however, you no longer feel perturbed by the thought of the greater succubus. Honestly, you thought you would feel at least chilled regardless of how stable your mind became.

Seeing your confusion, Seriath proudly lifts her chin. "Recovering is not the only thing, master. Humans can adapt too from what I have seen. While you may have been broken in front of her presence, I am certain that won't happen again. A mind will put up more defenses to be able to withstand a higher presence after experiencing it."

You feel bitterly happy. "But I'm fucked aren't I if she decides to attack me. I mean, I lost it just from the presenting of herself!"

Seriath hums, not denying it. "Of course, the fact that you couldn't even remain calm in front of her makes you even worthless in her eyes."

"Well, thanks," you dryly reply.

"But, I will make sure you grow stronger," she reassures, her expression growing serious, "...you have the courage and despite my own threats and the advancements of others, you still move forward, going so far as to align with other monsters."

Lifting herself back onto her feet, she offers a hand to you. It's more than just to help you up though, it's a sign of trust and one that you would accept.

Getting back on your feet in this vast white void, you are prepared to understand better in hopes to survive if the worst case comes with Kylesa.

Seeing your determined expression, Seriath nods approvingly. She leans on you and lightly kisses on the lips, then grins. "I will show my elder sister that contracting with you is not a mistake. She may be stronger than me, but a queen knows the potential of others and that includes you!"

The white void shifts around you. If you thought you had some semblance of control in your own mindscape, that is proved wrong. It seemed now that she feels you are recovered, the real mending begins...
