Mika POV
Mika, with the rest of the group, was lead out of the hall by Job. Her body was experiencing the same aroused feeling she had before. During the time she became a woman and a mother. It hasn't been that many days since the event, and it was still vivid in her mind and body. In the hallway outside the dungeon heart room, Job sent everyone to their rooms. The wives of the couples dragged their husbands away quickly. They couldn't take it anymore it seemed.
The Fox girls stared at the door for a long while in an enamored state. From beyond the door, the girls heard a scream. The sudden sound woke them from their dreamlike state.
What could Sirus do to make them sound like that? Mika could only hear the sound of ecstasy even if it was brutal. She could detect the sound of loud smacking sound mixed into the joyful screaming. Mika could only envy them for their "punishment time".
The Fox girls breathing was heavy from sexual arousal. With unwillingness covering their faces, the Fox girls quickly left for their room. Outside of the dungeon heart room, only Mika remained. Like the others, she was panting none stop, and her body was inflamed. Her black skin was the only thing preventing her from looking pink from excitement.
Like all the Imps, she was dressed in a robe that looks similar to a yukata. The simple design was easy to make and convenient to work in. The length came down to the knee and provided great maneuverability.
Mika was lost in her own thoughts of how she wishes to be inside the room too. Without even realizing it, she slipped her hand into the folds of her clothing and begun to trace the outside of her undergarments above her lower lips with her finger. The stimulation sent a shock through her body numbing her mind and made her cum slightly.
Mika could hear a rhythmic smacking sound from the room. Without thinking, Mika slides her panty to the side of her venus mound to touch herself directly. She fell to her knees as soon she rubbed her clit and pussy. The engorged clit of her holy place was rubbed by her slender fingers sending her body into spasms. As she played with her sticky wet pussy, the tempo of the spanking increase. The smack of flesh got louder and mixed in with the rhythmic slapping sound was sharp yelps and pleads for mercy.
*SMACK*
"Iyaaaahhhh... dear gods have mercy! I'm cumming!!!!"(one happy tortured soul)
Mika's body tensed and spasmed as she climaxed from her imaginations running wild. Juices gushed out of her honey hole drenching her fingers and undergarments. Basking in her afterglow, Mika was brought back to reality by a different type of scream.
"AAAHHH... I'm going to be split!!! It's too big!!!! Uuaaa... I'm dying!!!"(Passenger on the maiden voyage of doom)
*Smack* "Ahhh... Ohhh gods... uuahhh..."
Mika couldn't help but tremble at the noise. Her Lord promised that what would happen inside his throne room would be punishment. Then, why does it feel like they were getting hell but glimpsing heaven? The blood-curdling screams and beast-like groans sounded like the symphony of torture. Yet, Mika's intuition was telling her they loved every moment of it.
Mika wanted to run. Runaway from what she felt would rune the sanity of a gentle girl. She looked up to Sirus thinking he's on a higher level. She and the other Imps truly worship Sirus as a godly being. The dungeon cores are often called the Offspring of the Goddess. So, for Demi-humans and monsters, even the weakest dungeon heart was deified. Except, they could sense that Sirus was special. He was noble, strong, intelligent, and dignified. He was like the greatest work of a master craftsman; a true masterpiece. He was like a radiant star punching through the blackness of the cosmos. Breathe taking and awe-inspiring.
Yet, now she has seen the depths of his power and trembled. Experiencing overwhelming might can traumatize some people, gripping with abysmal fear. For Mika, she felt a level of calm and peace like she almost never experienced. Only once had she a sense of security like this.
Four years ago...
Hundreds of miles away from the dungeon location she was sitting in now. A younger Mika, the youngest imp in the clan, was much different than the present imp. At the time, Mika was just 12 years old and could be considered cute by Imp standards. Unfortunately, all Imps were viewed with disgust by other intelligent races. Even then, they lived peaceful and productive lives. Many other tribes would visit their tribe for metal works like weapons and armor. Most transactions were mostly one-sided in favor of the other clans. It was hard when compared to other races, Imps lacked strength and size. They could defend their tunnels but if other groups sieged them, they would starve.
On this particular day, they received an oracle from the goddess through Job the high priest. In a meeting room of the clan, the entire clan gathered with a heavy atmosphere. She being young sat next to her mother and father and listened carefully.
"Hear the Oracle of the goddess to our people!!"(Job proud priest)
The clan head and priest of the clan stood on a raised area and spoke for all to hear. Mika had a good opinion of Job as he cared for his clan deeply.
"The goddess gave me a vision which I will relay to our clan. This is the vision I was given.
I have seen a fire so great that none could quench it. Like an enormous serpent, it stretched out from the human kingdom and coiled around the Great Forest and the Lonely Mountain. The flames burned with great intensity towards the Lonely Mountain and all peoples of the forest were reduced to ash. Then, I saw a star shine from the Lonely Mountain and the winds whipped around the mountain and quench the flames of the Great Forest. The flames spread in all lands driven by the winds until all was consumed.
I wept for the hopelessness of the vision and beseeched the goddess for help. Three days and night I prayed to Her for help before she answered me.
She said, 'Hope I give to the worthy. A Labor for my people and A Reward for the diligent. The faithful will see The Star and the diligent will uncover Him. This trial I give to you: endure!! Night fast approaches and many woes will follow. Those who endure to the end will see the coming of my Majestic Son. For only He can ease your suffering and bring you rest."'
The assembly was silent. None made a sound. Mika was confusing. The message was difficult for her young mind to understand. Fires and wind? Mountain and forest consumed? All the descriptions were scary to hear and the older members had frightened expressions. She looked at her father who was the first to speak.
"Lord Job, this oracle is indeed terrifying. Yet, we must focus on the good in the bad. The goddess gave us help in this troubled future and we must be steadfast for the survival of our clan. Also, we should send massagers to friendly clans and inform them of the dangers too. I'm sure it will be a hard journey but we must proceed if we wish to survive."(Mika's Pops)
Mika stares at her father with pride. It was well known in the clan that her father was the strongest warrior. He was Job's right-hand man and worked hard to protect the clansman from the ever-present danger. Even the disputes with other clans and races, he was there to smooth relations. A strong presence to ease the clansman's mind.
"You are right. The important point we must dwell on is survival. Our clan is large. One of the largest imp clans in the forest and we must act accordingly. We need to send word to the other clans and races of the forest. We must inform them and verify if other priests and priestess have received similar oracles.
Then, We must coordinate to find the savior of the forest. Only then will we weather the coming flames."(Job the boss)
Mika had sparkling eyes seeing how cool the adults reacted. Her father in particular was her pride. She thought he was the greatest person in the world.
The group discussed many things related to the clan and how to deal with the coming catastrophe. When it was getting late, Mika fell asleep on her mother's lap. Mika never knew when the meeting ended or how she got home. Yet, she never thought her whole world would come to fall apart that day.
In the early morning hours, the clan was attacked by slayers from the guild. A request from the guild lead to a raid on the Imp clan. The mission included they steal the works of the Imps and to enslave valuable craftsman of the clan. Humans merchants, that did business with the clan, wanted a better deal. They wanted everything.
The humans launched a frontal assault on the tunnels of the imp clan. They quickly dispatched the guards without the sentries alerting the clan. Stealthily, they poured into the compound and begun the operation. Bells rang through the dark tunnels waking the unsuspecting Demi-humans.
Mika's mother dragged her out of the house along with her husband. In the large cavern that made up the clan main area, too many torches lit the space. Imps don't need to use torches to see, they have infravision to see heat variations.
"Escape to the tunnels!!!"(Mika's Dad)
He looks at his wife in pain before commanding her to go. He drew his short sword and headed off to the line of warriors trying to stop the flood of humans. Mika still remembers the back of her father bravely fighting the detestable humans. In a daze, she was quickly led to a very small hole. The evacuation tunnels were made to fit the size of the Imps tightly. Humans which are at least twice their height found them very difficult to navigate. It was because the Imps were weaker then most races that having back up plans for a day like today was made. Job and the warriors lead by Mika's father to buy the clan enough time to escape.
Yet, the cost of the clan's survival was great. The largest Imp clan for hundreds of miles was crippled. They numbed in the hundreds not hours ago, reduced to a mere 30 odd individuals. The lost or abducted members were hard for the remaining leadership to count. Job and his wife the only elders to escape to the collection point.
Mika cried as she held her mother. Her diminutive figure was smeared with fresh blood. In the chaos of escaping, her mother was struck by an arrow in the chest. Gritting the pain, she pulled her child to safety before collapsing.
Job came to them hearing Mika's bitter cries and inspected her. His face darkened after seeing the terrible wound. Unfortunately, he couldn't save her without removing the arrow. Yet, if he removed the arrow it would likely kill her. The arrow was lodged next to her heart and cut into an artery. If he pulls out the arrow, she would bleed out in under a minute. Mika's tear-stained face looked at Job with the hope that he could help her mother.
"Child, there is nothing that can be done for your mother. I'm terribly sorry. Not only couldn't I save your father, but your mother as well. It's so frustrating!!!"(Job the humbled)
"What!!??"(Mika)
"Your father gave his life to help the remainder of the rearguard retreat. I looked back before passing into an escape tunnel, he was surrounded by humans attacking him from all sides. His bravery and dedication to our clan will be ingrained into our hearts. Truly a heroic end to the greatest Imp I have ever known. My words can't ease the pain your feeling, child. Your loss is felt by us all. None can say they didn't lose someone irreplaceable. Your mother and father gave their lives for you to live. You should say goodbye before she passes. I'll leave you some time with her, then we must move out. Slayers will track us in time."(Job)
Job looked at her in pity before walked away. Mika couldn't process the news. In her head, she was just lost in the pain of the unbelievable. Her dad was the strongest, how could he lose? Her mother dying? She is right here all she needed was some medicine and she would be fine, right?
Her mother looked at her child with tears streaming down her face.
"Mika... this... is as... far as... I can... go..."(Mika mama)
Mika screamed inconsolably. Why? Why?!!
"If we... had to... we... would... again...
Your... father... I... would... give... our... life... for...
You... my baby...
We... love... always..."(Mika's mother's last declaration)
She touched Mika's face with one hand before it fell to her side. Then, she breathed her last.
That night began the waking nightmare of her life. Something inside of her broke and left her hollow. She wept and cried until she was dragged away by Cam, Job's wife. Being the youngest, a mere child, the other Imps indulged her. Yet, many wanted to lose their minds in grief as well.
They traveled through the Great Forest in a sad exudes filled with death and misery. It would be years later and many more losses before the remaining clan found the cave deep in the Lonely Mountain to hide from the humans. Deep in the mountain, they unearthed a room with an altar of unknown origin. It was then, they encountered Sirus the dungeon heart. He popped out of thin air and floated in front of Job.
Mika now looks at Sirus like she looks at her father before. In fact, she felt truly comfortable in his presence. He has the barring of a majestic lion that is fierce and wild. She likes it. Job asked her to search her feelings and decided what she wished to do.
Mika set her jaw while looking at the door that keeps spewing amours sounds. She stood up before walking to the door and entered. Nothing made her feel alive sense the tragedy of her clan until she met Sirus. Even if she couldn't be his wife, she will be his slave to stay by his side forever.
Inside the throne room, Sirus was plowing the untamed nether regions of Ragna. He stopped to look at who entered without a word. Mika stood there with a resolute expression as she looks at the godlike physique of Sirus' back. Biting her teeth, she bowed to Sirus then began to speak.
"My Lord and my Lady, this humble servant knows she entered without right and deeply apologize for the interruption. This humble servant has no right to request something from my Lordships but this one's heart refuses to accept it. All this humble servant can pray for is my lords' grace and hear this one request in earnest. For this request, this servant is willing to accept any punishment my lord will give."(Mika the maturing)
Sirus had a puzzled look and tilted his head to the side cutely. Mika was doing all she could to maintain her calm almost lot her reasoning seeing him make that adorable gesture.
"Hohoho... husband hear her request. I'm sure it will be something within your abilities to grant. Hohoho... little Mika, right? Your request is for my husband but you have my approval regarding your request. That was the proper way to come before my lord and seek him. Very well done."(Alice the insightful)
Mika's eyes lit up with hope and desire. Sirus was still confused but Alice was smarter than him. Like the difference between a commadore 64 and a supercomputer. Still, he does try.
"Ok... speak."(Sirus, Kind of busy)
"My lord, I have firmly made a decision and humble beseech your favor. If this humble servant found favor in your eyes, please make this one your handmaiden. This servant can't hope to be one of your concubines but to ever serve you and bare your children would bring this servant the greatest happiness in the remanded of her life."(Mika)
She knelt down and placed her head on the floor. Soon, she could hear giggling from Alice in her mind. Mika looks up to see Sirus with a dumbfounded expression on his face. Mika smiled, she felt she made the right choice. Only someone in love can look at a monster that can make others wet themselves in terror and see the most adorable creature in the world.
