Vicious

Heather was gravely injured, and Ivy was freaking out because they were closest to the Shoreless Vale, but Heather was banished from entering.

“Ok, look. I can get Heather some medical attention.” you offer to Ivy. Kiara’s nostrils flare.

“Where?” Ivy asks eagerly.

“The Hall of Runic Dedicates.” you say smoothly.

“You know someone there?” Ivy asks.

“Two people. Sapphire, a student there, and Siora, a mentor.” you assure the redhead queen. You kiss Kiara’s cheek, and move towards Heather, when suddenly, Kiara flings herself at you, and your lips meet in a fiery, **** kiss.

“Come back to me.” she growls huskily, and you kiss her again, before the orc pushes you back.

Kiara turns to rejoin the group, and you lift Heather, and start trekking through the forest, Ivy walking behind you nervously.

“Prince Jakob of Thornshire.” a regal voice announces, and an explosion of blue flames lights the path ablaze. A striking blond elf stands in the middle of a ring of fire.

“King.” you say mildly. The blond looks darkly at you.

“She needs help.” Ivy begs, and Siora seems to notice her for the first time.

“Give me the girl. And go. You know only pure maidens can access the Hall. You already destroyed Opal’s life. So stay away.” Siora sneered. Opal was a very pretty brunette, Sapphire’s twin sister. Both twins had been incredibly interested in you, but you had ended up drunk and alone with Opal. You had had sex, Opal got pregnant, and was kicked out of the Hall. Of course, you’d met up with Opal three times since her banishment, and every time you’d fallen into bed with her. Oh well.

Siora ushers away Heather and Ivy, and you turn to rejoin the orc caravan, but are stopped by a winged, demonic creature that was so unbelievably gorgeous.

“Jakob! Holy shit, thank god!” the raven haired demon cries, and steps towards you, and you reach for your sword, but then notice something. The necklace you’d given Angel for her birthday was hanging around the demon’s neck.

“It was Lilith! She choked this shit down my mouth and now I’m a succubus, apparently.” the demon groans bitterly.

“Angel?” you say, disbelieving.

“Yes!” the succubus exclaims.

“You’re a little more endowed than my sister.” you say suspiciously.

“It’s the power of the Succubi Curse.” Angel wails. You lean forward to kiss her, but she pushes you back.

“Succubi have poisoned lips. If I kiss a male, the vitality and life will be drained out of them instantly.” Angel says miserably. She twitches, and her eyes flare red.

“Aww. The King reunited with his sister.” she drawls, and her voice sounds normal, but Lilith talks simultaneously, giving it an eerie echo.

“Change her back!” you yell.

“No can do. She’s now part demon. To extract that would kill her. It’s a permanent change.” Lilith grins wickedly.

“I will find you and kill you.” you swear. Lilith laughs coldly.

“Unlikely. See, Angel is the perfect host, because you won’t kill her.” Lilith sneers. You draw your sword, but Lilith bats her wings, and a gust of air sends the sword flying as the possessed succubus lunges at you, only to gasp, and red smoke pours out of her eyes, and dissipates. You look down to see a blade jutting out of Angel’s stomach. Behind her stands Kiara, her hand outstretched, and Angel crumples, folding inwards until all that’s left is black ash.

“This was my sister.” you say. Kiara looks sad.

“I’m sorry. But she was possessed and would’ve killed you.” Kiara apologizes.

“I, uh, don’t blame you. You saved me.” you smile at her. Kiara smiles back, and you stand, walking toward the orc. You take her hand in yours, and walk back towards the Orclands.
