Darkest Descent

Douya sat up and gasped, without the help of the head moving between his legs. Claws dug into his skin, and a low growl warned that his waning attention would be met with punishment soon enough.

“Stop it Razioul,” Douya said, with another gasp, as he pushed at the creature’s head.

Anyone with half a brain and mage’s blood in their veins could feel when one of the traps in the upper levels were activated. He had no idea why his master felt the need to keep those creatures around, but he guessed it was for the same reason that he kept Razioul around.

The now humanoid looking creature glared at him with black pupil-less eyes before crawling away to sit at the foot of the bed. It was safe to say that Razioul was becoming more and more human looking every day. Where there had once been a gel-like shadow creature, was now a dark-skinned human-looking creature with blood red hair and black eyes.

Ignoring the annoyed look on Razioul’s face, Douya fixed his clothing, and climbed off the bed. The new slaves had been allowed to explore the castle, but it seemed strange that the master would not safeguard them from the traps. Unless, that was the reason behind allowing them to explore. It had been a while since those things had been fed.

Nonetheless, it seemed a little unlike his master simply to allow them to fall to their death so easily. Not to mention that the creature now having a bit of fun was not one of the creatures who fed off live flesh.

“Damn succubus,” he muttered, before looking at Razioul. “Go save him.” He was met with an even more annoyed look. “Don’t give me that look. Be discreet about it. If I’m punished because you fumbled it up I will lock you away in that mirror and starve you.”

The creature grumbled something, still unable to form words, before crawling off the bed on all fours. Like the creatures upstairs, Razioul was capable of many forms, including one that made him look like a large shadow beast.

It growled at Douya before giving a bellowing howl and disappearing. Douya only hoped that the damn thing would listen to him and not go off on its own little escapade.

The scent of blood and fear was in the air. It was driving Razioul crazy as he bound through the numerous halls of the “upper level” trying to find the ignorant slave that had managed to fall into a trap.

He hated that thing, that foul mouthed succubus that had twice failed to seduce him into bed. It was bad enough having to give into the whims of that child, but to have a creature of that species lust after him was downright disgusting. Just the thought of having to hear that creature call him “lover” made his onyx colored skin crawl.

Sniffing the air, Razioul howled and then changed into his humanoid form. He was beginning to like this form now that he had fingers to grasp things and a mouth to taste things with. The child was a fount brimming with energy, which was the only thing, that made mating with the boy tolerable. It amused him sometimes, for a boy who seemed to know everything the child did not realize the amount of energy that was being drained from him.

What the child did not know would not kill him. Not yet anyway.

She smiled immensely pleased with herself, as the cute looking human boy writhed beneath her. It really was amusing to watch him struggle against the iron chains. Her master for her had specially created those and he was the only one besides her that could break those chains. It was still amusing to watch the human try though.

“It’s been an entire hour now. My my, you have such stamina” she said with a light chuckle afterwards.

The shallow cuts she had made with her fingernails were beginning to heal, but the deeper ones still wept crimson tears of blood, which only added to her growing excitement. Human blood. It was such a rarity these days that she considered them precious.

“You have such scary eyes. If I were a human I might actually be afraid.”

The boy did not speak because there was no way for him to speak. His mouth was gagged, and even if he did have the ability to speak, it would have most likely been nothing but screams of pain. That was another thing that amused a person. The worst the pain, the harder it was for a human to scream in pain.

“Master told me the humans go into shock during intense pain. Is that true? Is that why you are shaking?” The succubus asked, sounding like a curious child. “My body absorbs pain. Unlike you humans.”

Her smiling lips opened to reveal razor sharp teeth, and when the boy reacted in mute horror, it sent a delicious thrill down her spine.

“Maybe a little taste before we start playing again. You don’t mind, do you?” She asked, before laughing loudly.

The laughter stopped when she heard a deep growling sound come from behind her. The thick smell of something dark surrounded her, expelling the smell of incense that usually filled her room.

“Well hello lover,” she said, looking back at the creature over her shoulder. “Come to join the party?”

The dark creature that came from that annoying boy’s mirror stood there. She had been fascinated with the creature since the first day that she saw it. It had appeared in her room, and unlike all the others before him, he had not been affected by the smell of her incense and had not given into her charms either.

“Don’t call me lover,” it growled.

“Why not? Would you prefer if I called you darling? Or is there some other pet name you like? Perhaps I should use the one that child calls you?”

She knew all about the relationship that creature had with the boy. It was not like the relationship she had with her master, but something more disgusting than that. It was the only flaw that she saw in the creature.

“Shut up female” the creature growled and approached the bed with a sour look on his face. “The boy wants him.”

“Is that so?” She asked, turning around to face the creature. If that boy thought she was going to give up her play toy so easily he was in for a surprise.

“I won’t say it again.”

With a pout on her face she slid off the boy, not bothering to cover herself as she did. And why should she? This was her room and if the creature did not like it he was free to leave.

“No need to get upset. You can have it back. I’ve had my fun with him already” she said, letting her eyes take in the sight of the naked creature. Having a human to toy with was fun, but it was not something to fight over.

Besides, she never played with the same toy twice.
