On a moonlit night, on the premise of an abandoned temple in the middle of a jungle, a crowd of dark robed individuals were chanting a strange prayer around it's base. Further up the temple steps, a blood-red altar was holding a golden pillar, on which a young, curvaceous woman was bounded to.
"Oh might Gorgalaf! We offer you this buxom virgin maiden as an offering! Take her into your sacred stomach and bless us with your power!," a cultist wearing an elaborate headdress shouted. It wasn't a wild guess to assume this was the leader.
"Grroar!"
"Help!," Alicia screamed as she tried to break free from her fetters.
She didn't remember how or why, but Alicia had been captured by some crazy cultists and chained up to a sacrificial pillar and was about to eaten by their "dark god", a giant demonic ape.
She also didn't remember when, but they had also taken her clothes away and put her in some skimpy golden pleasure garb complete with veils. Luckily for our damsel in distress however, her savior was on the way.
"Nepherage, with me!"
"Of course my lord!"
"Who dares?!"
"Bah!"
A whole bunch of cultists were suddenly sent flying as Zhen Liu and Nepherage bursted out of nowhere and used their fists as instruments of righteous fury. Alicia looked significantly more relieved now that Zhen Liu and his trusty kaijin had come to her rescue. The fact that he also happened to be shirtless and rocking washboard abs was just the cherry on top.
"Zhen Liu!"
"Hang on Alicia, we're coming!"
"Allow me, my lord! [Lava Ram]!"
Nepherage formed a hand seal in the shape of ram's head and began to rapidly circulate her aether until burning hot steam was released from her beautifully carved body. She thrusted her hands forward, causing a giant ram's head made of lava to suddenly manifest and bulldoze through the cultists blocking her and Zhen Liu. With their way now clear, the two of them made their way up the steps as quick as greased lightning.
Once they reached the top of the steps, they were both rather sweaty, the moon light highlighting the contours of their muscular forms by causing their skin to glisten.
"I suggest you unhand her this instance villain, lest you wish to the incur the wrath of the great Kaijin Lord!," Nepherage loudly declared while taking on a fighting stance that mirrored Zhen Liu's. While this would normally intimidate lesser opponents, this just caused the head cultist to laugh.
"Foolish mortals! You dare to defy the will of the great Gorgalaf?! Witness his awesome might and tremble!," the cultist screamed
"ROAR!"
The giant ape that was the aforementioned Gorgalaf released a roar of challenge as he banged his chest in fury. How dare these puny mortals interrupt his meal?!
The giant ape swung his arms together, ready to crush the two would-be heroes like bugs. Unfortunately for him, the two pests weren't just idly posing.
During that whole spiel, even while they were running up the stairs, Zhen Liu and Nepherage were circulating and condensing their aether like crazy, building it up to a climax. And they were just about ready to blow.
Just as Gorgalaf was about to crush the duo, his got swatted away by a pair of coordinated kicks from the two. Using the momentum from the attack, they launched themselves into the air and got right up into the "dark god's" face.
"Nepherage, together now!"
"Yes, my lord!"
[Double Magnum!]
The duo quickly concentrated their aether into their fists and struck outward in unison, releasing a mighty blow that took the form of a giant phantasmal fist.
The fist flew forward and annihilated Gorgalaf's torso, leaving nothing but his head and limbs.
"Nooooo! You have slain our-" SPLAT!
Before the cultist could complain, Gorgalaf's head fell down and crushed him into meat paste. At the same time, both Zhen Liu and Nepherage proceeded to land back on the ground in a coordinated super hero pose.
"Zhen Liu! Nepherage!"
"Alicia!"
As the duo made their way over to Alicia's pillar, she began to smell the blood and sweat dripping off over their bodies...it was exciting.
"Are you alright?," Nepherage asked in a tender, concerned voice, "Did they hurt you?"
"No...thank goodness both of you are here now...," Alicia said quietly as she eyed both of their forms up and down. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip as she did.
"Here, let me help you get out of these chains," Zhen Liu said as he began to reach over and undo the manacles, only to be stopped by Alicia.
"Actually...you can keep those on me..."
"Oh? Oh...," Zhen Liu went as he picked up what Alicia was suggesting, "then should I..."
miss...goldsh...
"Uh, no need," Alicia refuted, "In fact...I think I'd like it if she joined us."
Miss Goldshi...
"Oh ho~ in that case..," Nepherage said as she walked to the side of Alicia and began to run her hands up and down her curves. "Shall we show this maiden the meaning of 'pleasurable madness?'"
"Yes, I think we sh-"
MISS GOLDSHIRE?
_________________________________________________
"Miss Goldshire!"
"Bah!," Alicia exclaimed as she shot up awake in her bed. Momentary confusion beset Alicia Goldshire, until she realized that everything that had just happened was a dream. She quickly glanced downward and noticed a certain book that she quickly hid under a pillow.
Gone was the cultists and the jungle temple, replaced by her room and her bed.
Gone was the golden pleasure garb, replaced with a silken nightgown.
And gone was Zhen Liu and Nepherage, replaced by Matilda, her recently hired personal maid/bodyguard who was around her age, standing in the open doorway to her room.
"Miss Goldshire," Matilda began to say with a crusty, "it's almost half pass eight and breakfast will be ready in about fifteen minutes. I know it's your holiday, but Lord Goldshire requests your appearance."
"He does?," Alicia questioned. Her father would rarely call upon her for an audience. If it was business related, he would normally call one of her older brothers.
"He has," Matilda concurred," I have taken the liberty to prepare your dress for the day. Something practical yet eye-catching. Now, is there anything else you require, miss?"
"Ah, no. Thank you Matilda, that will be all."
Matilda gave a nod and a curtsy before leaving Alicia to get ready for the day, making sure to close the door behind her when she left.
*Clack, clack, clack*
Alicia listened until Matilda's footsteps faded into silence before lifting the pillow and staring at the book she hid under it.
This book wasn't some powerful secret art or some piece of famous literature, rather...it was a cheap five copper coin smut novel titled, "Jungle Passions: The Bondage of Desire".
Alicia stared at the smut book for a few seconds before throwing it in a random direction.
"No more trashy books before bed," she muttered.
