Raya and I left the elf and brute behind, they seemed.....busy...so the two of us just started walking, following kina towards whatever it was she was leading us to.
we weren't able to get far unfortunately, Rayas stomach rumbled, my ears picking it up.
"you're out of food aren't you?"(syn)
she nodded, somewhat embarrassed.
"we'll I can't be of any help there."(kina)
"she's a full succubus now, I can't feed from demons."(Raya)
"goddammit."(syn) I muttered under my breath.
"we'll let's get this over with."(syn)
Raya and I walked a bit into the treeline, kina waiting patiently just a bit away, reluctantly I lowered my t shirt collar and leaned my head to the side, Rayas fangs growing as she sank them into my neck quickly.
I sat there regretting the last few minutes of my life as muffled moans came from her mouth, I didn't feel a thing, thank fuck!
once satisfied with how much she'd drank she pulled herself off me, red faced.
"I have a feeling this is going to be a regular thing, and I hate it already."(syn)
we didn't say anything else, turning back to the treeline and walking out of it.
"have fun?"(kina)
we didn't answer and just kept walking, kina resuming lead.
the late afternoon turned to night, our walking not pausing or slowing, the night slowly turning to early morning, the sun nearly blinding my somewhat tired eyes, I can't actually remember the last time I slept.
[during evolution]
*how long ago was that?*
[3 to 4 days]
damn.
rubbing my eyes and quickening my pace I caught up with Raya, who'd been quiet since yesterday.
"so.....yeah I've got nothing."(syn)
"I'm sorry about making noises, I couldn't help it!"(Raya)
"let's just focus on walking, the mind numbing boring and constant walking."(syn)
as soon as I said that kina stopped, I swear if this is some sick joke and were gonna keep walking I'm gonna kill her.
"were here!"(kina) said, vanishing into the treeline to my right.
too tired to question it and too over walking further I just simply grabbed Rayas hand and walked both of us directly into where kina vanished.
a sense of weightlessness overtaking my body, Raya screaming as we fell, I just simply kept myself upright calmly as she failed about.
we landed quickly, me on my feet and Raya on her face, the classic belly flop position.
I winced for her and stepped over her, following kinas scent.
Raya stood and brushed herself off, giving me a hurt look as I just motioned for her to follow.
she huffed and relented, following after me.
we took turn after turn and not once did I lose the scent, which surprised me, from the looks of it this was a maze, a damn good one at that.
but we would reach the end relatively quickly, kina standing there surprised and open mouthed.
"how'd you get here so fast?!"(kina)
"followed your scent and energy trail."(syn)
"no fair."(kina) harrumphed.
guess she does still have a childlike side, her other side to her personality contrasting it, almost highlighting it.
she turned on her heels and walked deeper into the archway, a door not too far in.
opening it with a key we were led into what looked like the front area of a mansion, of course she has a mansion, now that I think of it I'm the only creature on this planet who's been alive for thousands of years and is still technically homeless, am I doing this wrong?
"syn? you there?"(Raya)
I snapped back to the present to find myself standing just outside the door, judgy looks from the succubus being sent my way.
I walked Inside, closing the door behind me, kina once again leading us somewhere.
down a grand staircase that transitioned to a metal spiral one, the walls going from wood to stone, is this a dungeon?
once my foot landed on the floor and off the last step on the stairs I would get my answer.
this was 100% a dungeon.
a single cell in the downstairs room, torture devices filling the rest of the underground space.
"holy....fuck...."(syn)
Raya was speechless, open mouthed and staring at the space.
"follow me."(kina)
Raya stayed put, I didn't, following kina to the door she put in several keys, unlocking the door slowly.
once done she struggled to budge it an inch, sighing I took over, easily opening the door with one arm.
the sight inside paling my face.
"YOU KIDNAPPED THE WINGED QUEEN?!"(syn)
the winged woman inside stirring at my shout and backing further into the cell, afraid.
"she wont help me."(kina)
"we'll no shit she won't!"(syn)
I walked into the cell, snapping the restraints and chains easily, picking up and carrying the woman out of the small, dark, and cramped room.
I set her down just outside the cell, she held onto me shaking, something I really wasn't expecting.
"how long has she been here?"(syn)
"four years give or take."(kina)
I gave kina a look of disbelief before turning my attention back to the winged woman, she was missing a wing, it hadn't fully grown back yet.
I waved over Raya who snapped from her initial shock and rushed over, taking the job of holding the shaking woman, who held onto Raya tightly.
"you and your sister aren't all that different are you?"(syn) I asked point blank.
she got offended by that, trying to slap me, I caught her by the arm and atatyed squeezing, she collapsed to her knees while wincing in pain, looking up at me with fear.
"not so fun is it?"(syn)
she shook her head no fervently.
I released her arm, she statted scooting backwards towards the wall, holding her arm.
there was only one way the queen would ever recover from this.
[accessing full power of authority]
the white energy within me stirred as I approached the winged woman.
