Chapter 12 - A Dream

A Dream

As I entered Oneira's realm a calmness washed over me. The boundary between reality and dreams shifted and the shadows took hold of me.

When the darkness lifted Lilth stood before me. Her enrapturing body revealed itself to me as her silk dress dropped to the floor. She took a step, then another, and another.

I stepped back in kind, retreating from the succubus, hoping to put some space between her and me.

Instead I hit something causing me to fall backwards and onto her bed. Chains wrapped around my hands and legs, trapping me in place.

"Oh little dragon," her voice cooed. She continued walking towards me, slowly, sensually. "Little pet, little thrall." Her hips swayed as she walked, dragging my focus.

"Why do you run? Do you fear me? Do you hate me? I doubt it would be the latter. I haven't done anything that would make you hate me

The air thickened with her presence, her aura enveloping me like a suffocating embrace. I struggled against the chains, their cold metal biting into my flesh as I sought to break free from their grasp.

"Why do you resist, little dragon?" Lilith's voice echoed in the darkness, a seductive whisper that stirred the depths of my soul.

"Do you not see the truth that lies before you? Embrace your destiny, embrace me."

Her words sent a shiver down my spine, a chill that cut through the haze of desire and confusion that clouded my mind. I knew that I should resist her, that I should fight against the chains that bound me to her will.

And yet, even as I struggled against the bonds that held me captive, a part of me yearned to surrender, to lose myself in the intoxicating allure of her embrace. It was as if her words were a siren's song, luring me ever closer to the edge of oblivion.

"I have let you keep your mind in the hopes that you would see reason." She now kneeled above me on the bed, her skin brushing against mine. "Our enemies are your enemies." She whispered as she bit my ear, blowing air against it with each word.

"The Divine Order wishes to kill us just as much as Leonius wants to kill you." The mention of my half brother removed any other thought from my brain.

Sensing the change in me Lilith whispered, "Rest little dragon, we shall continue this in the morning." Saying that, she placed a kiss upon my lips and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
