Exhausted and lightheaded, Sybari left the road for the shade of a balasta tree, sitting down under the cover of its enormous leaves. She took her flask from her pack and brought it to her parched lips, drinking deep and wiping her mouth on the back of her hand. She had barely left her campsite from the previous night and already her feet were screaming at her. Sybari pushed the straps from her heels and slid her blistered feet free of her sandals. The grass was cool on her burning souls, tickling her between the toes as she shut her eyes. "Excuse me, maiden?" said a rich velvety voice. Sybari opened her eyes, her hand going to the dagger on her belt. A slender figure stood before her, a female with light purple skin half covered by a dark cloak. Why hadn't she heard them approach? "It's not wise to nap in these parts, especially by the roadside. There are all sorts of creatures out here," continued the stranger. "I like to think I can fend off any would-be bandits," Sybari replied, relaxing her fingers. She lifted an eyebrow. "I'm sure you can. There are other dangers besides thieves and villains, however." She took a few steps closer, gliding soundlessly with sensually swinging hips. "You couldn't spare a mouthful of water for a fellow traveller, could you? I'm afraid my flask has leaked my precious supply." Sybari hesitated. She didn't know this creature. But the woman seemed friendly, and if she were part of an organised attack, there wasn't much Sybari could do besides be ready to fight. Begrudgingly, she handed over the leather bag and the creature took it with long, clawed fingers. Sybari watched her drink, one hand lingering on the hilt of her weapon. The woman was a voracis, a stronger, and quite licentious type of demon, not terribly unlike succubi. She was wickedly beautiful, with a heart-shaped face, big yellow-green eyes, and a classically demonic pixie-ish nose. Her cupid's bow mouth was made up of luscious lips that formed a knowing smirk. Two black eight-inch horns grew from her skull, coming to a kink part way along the ridged shaft before continuing on a gentle curve. Magenta hair flowed down to her mid back, framing her face and hiding most of her pointed ears. A cropped cap-sleeved jacket hugged her shoulders in lavish red and gold fabric. Its frilled collar came around the back of her neck, changing direction to curve around and tuck under her arms. Though the sheer material of her cloak, swirling patterns were visible on her arms. More peeked out from under the decorative fabric and leather top cupping her reasonably sized breasts. A band of bare skin over her stomach showed off three lines of abdominal muscles. Her skirt was no more than two strips of red material that hung between her legs, held together across each hip with ornate metal loops. What Sybari initially thought were thigh-high stockings were actually more marks, which grew sparser the further they got from her cloven hooves. Sybari felt a little feeble in comparison. Her own horns were tiny and she didn't look nearly as intimidating as a voracis. Succubi looked more human than they did demon. They had to in order to feed on them without having them run off in fright. "Thank you kindly," said the voracis, as she gave her back the flask. "I noticed you're favouring your right leg." Sybari frowned. "Are you following me?" "This happens to be a road. Everyone who travels it is technically following someone else. I caught up to you quite quickly due to your slowness." Oh. That made sense. "Your limp is rather apparent. As I mentioned earlier, this is not a particularly safe area." "I can't really help that. My feet are rubbed raw." She extended her leg to show her blisters. The voracis looked at it and pouted. "I thought shoes were supposed to prevent your feet from getting hurt." "Sometimes cheap ones rub." "How inconvenient. I'm glad I don't wear shoes." Her expression turned thoughtful. "You need to put something on them so your shoes slide over the blisters instead of rubbing them. Put some cum on it." "What?!" Sybari screwed up her face. She looked her up and down. "You are a succubus, aren't you? I thought you creatures were always dripping." Sybari gapped at her in shock. "Like you can talk." She flashed her a cheeky smile that showed she agreed with the sentiment. "That would dry out anyway." Digging into her bag, she pulled out a small jar. "I have oil for my hooves. Better than nothing." Sybari took the offering and dabbed oil on her sore patches. "Thank you." The voracis took back her jar and put it in her bag. "Travel well, succubus." With that, she turned and headed on her way, leaving Sybari to her rest. A couple of hours later, the dark blue of the Abararti River came into view. Sybari felt her pace quicken with excitement at the change of scenery. Getting on that boat would take her one step closer to her goal. As she came down the gentle slope, she saw the voracis sitting under a tree near the dock. Along the way she'd caught glimpses of her some distance ahead, so it puzzled her as to why she'd stopped. There wasn't anything of interest here. There were only a few dwellings in a small village nearby, but nothing near the dock itself. "Hello again," she said as she drew near. "Are you waiting for someone on the ferry?" The voracis dipped her head in greeting. "No, I am in need of it myself." "You can't just fly over?" "I injured a wing yesterday. It should be okay by tomorrow, a day too late to get me over this river the easy way." Swimming wasn't an option either. Not with the things that lived in that water. If you went in there you'd likely come out missing half your limbs. The sound of someone approaching made them turn. Walking towards them was a young imp, hands clutching a tray of trinkets and dried food items. He smiled at them and bowed his head. "Happy day to you. I have some pretty things for you pretty ladies." He held out the tray for them to see. Sybari smiled sweetly at the child, feeling guilty she didn't have enough money to buy anything. She hoped the voracis was generous with the money she clearly had, and felt her heart drop when the girl stood there unmoved. Realising he wasn't going to make a sale, the boy lowered his tray. "Don't waste your time waiting. The boat is being repaired. No ferries all this week." The voracis groaned and stomped her hoof. The imp stood in front of them, smiling with his hand held out. The girl let out a sigh and dug a coin from her bag. She dropped it into his hand and snatched a paper cone of sugared nuts. Sending Sybari a look, she started to walk. Sybari hurried after her. "Um, do you know how to get to Kavardya without the ferry? I only planned on going that way." "That's where I'm heading. You may as well come along." She offered her the cone and Sybari took a handful. "You can provide me with some entertainment. What's your name?" "Sybari. You?" "Mayhem. You can call me May." May seemed too soft and fluffy a name for someone who could crush skulls between her thighs, rip a human's eyes out without a second thought, or lure them right off a cliff with her seduction prowess. "What's in Kavardya?" Sybari smiled bashfully. "Queen Depravia." May's expression turned cold. "What's your business with the Queen?" "I heard she's good to work for." She snorted. "Who told you that?" "A succubus who passed through our settlement when I was younger." "You couldn't find a fitting job at home?" "Well, I'm from a pretty small community. Our territory was cut off from others by a war, so it doesn't have as many opportunities as larger ones. I tried a few different jobs over the years, but they were dull and tedious. I wanted something more than that place could give me, and I guess this sounded like a good way out." "You're already out. You could go anywhere now." "I know. But I come from a simple place, so working in a castle sounds exciting." She looked at May. "You're thinking how stupid and naïve I am, aren't you? I know everything's lacklustre compared to what I imagine, but I can't help being a dreamer." "At least you're grounded enough to know it. And you have spirit and enthusiasm. No point being dreadfully dull and moping through life." "Exactly! You have to get out and experience stuff. That's why I had to leave." No one back home got that. They were all stuck in dreary routines and half of them would probably never see outside the town. It was nice to find someone who understood her need for exploration. >* Mayhem was used to being by herself, so it was a nice change to have someone to talk to or simply distract her from the monotony of the road and where she was headed. She'd grown bored of travelling, but she was far from excited to be going home. They walked mostly in silence, occasionally making polite and reserved conversation. The succubus was only young, definitely under fifty. She was a pretty thing, a foot shorter than May, with dark pink skin. Cute little horns stuck out either side of her head, taupe in colour and pointing backwards. Her pale blonde hair was braided in a band over her head and fixed with an ornate clip, while the rest hung just past her shoulders. Big peach coloured eyes sat under mischievous, curled brows and she had plump cherry lips perfect for sucking cock. Sybari's skirt fell half way down her thigh. It was mostly covered by a long open front top that was laced over her breasts and had drapey split sleeves. With each step she made, came the light sound of metal against metal. It wasn't a terribly unpleasant sound, much like chimes. But you'd think she could have packed some clothes around whatever it was she had in her pack. May was unfazed by the delay cause by the ferry. It meant they'd taken an alternate route via a town with a bridge, but hadn't added more than a few hours to the journey and she was in no rush. Her wing had nearly healed already, barely causing a twinge of pain when moved. With her hooves, it was difficult to climb trees. The wings might help get her up there, but landing was difficult and dangerous. In the past she had wacked them on branches, though the worst injuries came when she fell. Yesterday she'd taken an impressive tumble when she slipped on the branch while trying to steal eggs from a nest. She'd clipped the branch trying to grab it on the way down, hitting it on her stomach and spraining the fingers of the hand jammed underneath. She'd then fallen to the ground on her back, landing with her left wing under her hip. "What's in your box?" Sybari asked, pointing to the wooden lantern shaped box that hang from May's waist. "My pets," she said in a rather ominous kind of way. The succubus warily eyed the box. "I see." "Don't be so guarded. You happily sat down in a forest infested with them earlier." May had tried to warn her about the creepy crawlies in that area. It was where her pets, or rather their ancestors, had originally come from. Then again, the girl was on her way to see the Queen, so she was either one of those demons who wasn't good at listening to advice, or one who wasn't afraid of anything. The latter didn't seem likely. >* Sybari splashed her face in the cool water of the stream, taking the opportunity to refill her flask. Mayhem must have found an apple tree because she now cradled nearly a dozen of the fruits. She walked with them over to where they'd left their things. With her cloak off, she was free to stretch her dark purple and black wings, making Sybari envious at the very sight of them. "Your wings are so beautiful," she said, coming over to put her flask away. "I wish I had some." May blinked her eyes at the sudden compliment. "Thank you." Gorgeous as May was, Sybari had to remind herself to be cautious. You couldn't trust demons, at least not ones you'd only just met. She did feel okay about Mayhem so far. The girl already had the opportunity to rob her when she was resting. And a voracis could easily overpower a succubus, so it wasn't as if May had to wait for an opportune moment if she had bad intentions. Sybari also knew to be careful with compliments. She could easily get carried away when she was near someone she found attractive. She needed May's directions and didn't want to piss her off by accidentally coming onto her. Some demons were picky about which species they were willing to screw. Some had gender preferences. Even then, it would be rare for someone to go around fucking everything that fit their type. Not even demons liked those with crappy personalities. An apple appeared over her should, cupped in a purple hand. "Thanks." Sybari took it and rose to her feet. May stared at her, one eyebrow raised. "Why do you jingle when you move? I thought it was your pack, but you're still tinkling." She reached for the hem of Sybari's skirt and swiftly lifted it to her waist, revealing the six fat rings piercing her labia. From each of them hung two thinner loops, the middle pair then being joined together by a large flower charm, while the other four dangled a crystal. "Don't!" Sybari whined, trying to step away. "Well, that would explain it. Five inches of crotch chandelier." She cocked her head. "Isn't that pulling? That's an awful lot of jewellery for someone who's walking all day. I'm surprised your juices aren't running down your legs." "It's a bit wet," Sybari admitted. "But I told you, I come from a small community. We have our own customs. Most succubi there have the same joined piercing. They make the flower charms especially for them. It does detach if you want to make sex easier, though it doesn't usually get in the way if you leave it there." "What about the other ones?" "That was me. I liked the idea and back home it's impressive." "And terribly annoying to walk with when you don't feel like being sexy?" She grimaced. "Yeah." They felt great, but they were impractical and she didn't need to be stimulated all the time. "They're only new, aren't they, the others?" May stared at her, deadpan. She seemed able to read into things more than most. Sybari nodded, not meeting her eyes. May patted her shoulder. "Why don't you take the chains off?" "I can't. They're welded shut. I don't have anything to cut them with." She sighed and put a hand on her waist. "Can't you just tuck them in some underwear to hold them out of the way when you need to get stuff done?" "We don't wear underwear back home. It's tradition to let the piercings stretch us at all times." May screwed up her face. "They don't give you a choice? What kind of crazy backward place is this?" Sybari laughed. "It is pretty isolated from any other of the species. They definitely have some strange ways." Rummaging at the bottom of her bag, May pulled out a pair of skimpy black panties. "Would you like these?" When Sybari hesitated, she added, "Forget what you've been told and make your own decision." Sybari snatched the knickers and quickly stepped into them, hitching them up around her butt. It took a minute to adjust her chains into a comfortable position and the lumpy mass they made strained against the fabric. If she wanted to get some for herself, she'd definitely need wider ones. "I'm sure we can find someone in the next village to cut the chains if you want to take some of them off," Mayhem offered. "No!" she gasped. "I want to impress the Queen." May gave her a sad look and stroked her arm. "Never do something solely for someone else. Not even a queen. If they don't like you as you are, they're not worthy of you." Her mouth curved into a smile. "If you want to keep the piercings, that's great. But you ought to get better quality rings for them, ones that are removable." That would be nice. Then she could change them around and add beads with different colours. "I'd like that. But I don't have the money." "In that case, I take it you don't have the funds to stay in an inn?" She shook her head. "I just sleep under the stars." May sighed. "There's not much daylight left. This is a good spot to stay." She sat down in the grass, hand cupping her jaw. "Sybari, there's something you should know." "Yes?" Her face turned cold, her eyes hard. "Nothing impresses the Queen." Royal Affliction Ch. 02 By the time they reached the mountain pass the next day the light was already starting to fade. A river had run alongside the road for some time, and as they left the trail to find a campsite, the sound of rushing water grew stronger. The source was a waterfall, only two feet high with a pool at the bottom deep enough for a wash. Eager to bathe, Sybari drew her dress over her head and discarded her borrowed underpants on the bank. She waded into the water and over to the waterfall. May inched her hooves cautiously along the mud like she was scared of slipping. "Why don't you come in? It's lovely." Sybari beckoned to her. The voracis stripped off her jacket and top, setting them down on the grass before unclasping her skirt. There was a slight bulge in her underwear that Sybari couldn't take her eyes from. She didn't know what female voraci genitals looked like, and was now curious to find out. Mayhem was an imposing looking demon, even when she was concentrating on where she was treading. She was also incredibly sexy, and now Sybari could see what she'd been hiding under her clothes. The patterns on her breasts ran down them like a teardrop, circling around huge areolas. Decorative shields sat behind piercings in her fat, tube-like nipples, linked by a chain that dangled jewels. More such adornment hung down from each nipple, including two small ornate balls containing crystals. May's vulva was very different to her own. Her labia weren't separate flaps, but a fat ring as wide as her fist that stood out over an inch from her groin. It was more like that of an animal than a human. It was so puffy and swollen looking, she wondered if it weren't actually infected. The girl caught her staring and raised an eyebrow. "Sorry. Beautiful things catch my eye." Sybari smiled. "Do all female voraci look like you?" She glanced down briefly. "More or less." "It's so different." She looked at Sybari's crotch. "To you, I suppose it is." Sybari occupied herself with soaking her hair under the waterfall, trying very hard to keep her eyes to herself and her hands from creeping between her legs. *** Mayhem sat in the waist-deep water, flicking a pebble back and forth between the flat spades of her tails. She was stuck. Either she waited for Sybari to leave first, or she let the other girl see her secret. The most judgemental demons were usually overly superstitious, simple ones who believed everything they were told, or powerful demons who liked to control others. Those who were 'other' were wrong and needed to be contained. May suspected Sybari would react unfavourably, coming from a place like she did. It didn't really matter to her if the girl ran off. It had happened so many times it no longer hurt. In fact, it would be helpful if the succubus pissed off. As a sex demon, May's libido ran hot and she usually masturbated every day. With Sybari joining her yesterday, this was her second day without release. Not only that, she'd had this luscious succubus right in front of her. Succubi and incubi were lovely creatures, gorgeous to look at and good in bed. Sybari was no exception, and was only getting more attractive. She was gentle for a demon, with cute senses of adventure and humour. The image of those chains dangling from her lips made Mayhem shiver. They also had the effect of making Sybari smell like sex, rich and intoxicating. May struggled to hold back a whine. Her cunt was begging to be touched. The desire to throw herself at the succubus was growing. Succubi were generally quite receptive to her species. But it was daytime, and she doubted it would go well. A few metres away, Sybari ran her hands through the waterfall. She sat underneath it, and judging by her closed eyes and parted knees, she was enjoying the intimate massage it provided. Unable to watch, May shook herself and leaped to her hooves with a splash. It alerted Sybari to her departure, and the girl quickly noticed the twin tails snaking behind her, both heart shaped tips sporting two rings on each side "Oh, you have two tails!" she gasped. May froze, bracing for a barrage of insults. Sybari's forehead creased. "I didn't think...never mind, I must be getting my demons muddled again." "No, you're correct. Voraci have only one." "Are you a halfling?" "No, I have a split tail." She stared at the water, before meeting Sybari's eyes with a cool glare. "Plenty avoid me. You may join them if you wish." Sybari stared dumbly at her for explanation. "Why, is it contagious?" May blinked in surprise. "There's nothing contagious about it. It's a genetic mutation. Have you not heard the fable about the cursed offspring bearing tails split in two?" She shook her head. "Isolated community." May snorted. "I'm a bad omen. Some believe bad luck befalls all who dare near me. When I was young, they wrapped my tails in lengths of fabric and bound them with several rings. They pierced the tips and clamped them together. Even like that, they still hid me under long dresses in public. Those with split tails are meant to bring destruction. Binding me was meant to prevent that. I don't think those responsible for me actually believed it. They just didn't want anyone to know." Sybari's mouth hung open. "And I thought some of our superstitions were wacked. That's horrible." "Yes." More than a little shocked, May left the water. She wandered along the side of the river before turning into the forest to find a secluded spot. For a voracis, Mayhem wasn't much of a philanderer. It was hard to be when so many demons avoided you. Hiding her tails hadn't gone so well either. Taking off your clothes gets unsexy when your would-be lovers start spitting curses at you in sheer revulsion. It made her lose a lot of confidence in others and now she preferred sex once she'd gotten to know someone and they'd accepted her. In times like now, when she didn't have a girlfriend, she did frequent the occasional tavern for a fix. Such flings had to be in the dark, where she could use a single tail to pleasure her partner, and could be gone in the morning. Most of her conquests never even knew about the second one hidden behind her back. The few who had, well, some of them wanted her to use it, some had been so enraptured they put aside any ill feelings, and one time she'd been chased out of an inn naked by an angry mob. But Sybari wasn't arming herself with a pitchfork. She was completely oblivious to any negative connotations. It had thrown May so much, she wasn't sure what to do. She groaned and leaned her back against a tree. "You just ran away," she chided herself. "You could have had her." One hand moved up her body and over her breast, squeezing her thick nipple. The other slid between her legs, feeling her puffy vulva slick and sensitive to the touch. Damn that succubus was hot. She was tempted to go back and seduce her now she'd had time to process everything. The tip of one tail lapped at her moist entrance, coating itself in juices. She pushed it in, corkscrewing it so its spade folded and the piercings scraped at her walls. Its mate came to take its former place, flicking over her swollen vulva and freeing her hands to tug on her nipples. She'd not long started to pump her tail when she heard the crunch of leaves underfoot. She turned her head to the sound, but made no attempt to hide what she was doing. Sybari came out from behind a tree, stopping with a start when she saw her. "I was wondering where you got to," she said with a grin. "You've interrupted me," May purred in her deep, enticing voice. "Sorry." She smirked, but instead of backing away, the succubus came closer, sauntering over with her genital jewellery swinging. "Two tails equals twice the fun, right?" Her tail slithered up between her legs, brushing her metal-clad labia and sliding up to caress her breast. She stopped just short of touching May, not daring to go any further, probably because May could easily injure her if she disapproved. She kissed the heart tip of her tail and whispered, "I am quite a lover of fun." Sybari oozed lust. She had to be just as horny as May. There was no way a succubus could jerk herself off in the time she'd taken for bathroom breaks. In a flash, Mayhem grabbed her by the wrist. Sybari stiffened, her eyes widening. Maybe she feared May was about to fling her to the ground, snapping her arm in the process. Mayhem had no such intention. She gently pulled the succubus against her and kissed her neck. "I won't hurt you." She flicked her free tail over Sybari's twat. "Fuck me," Sybari growled. "My pleasure." May led her back along the creek to where they'd left their things, one tail still firmly planted inside herself. She reeled Sybari in to her body and pulled her to the ground, savouring the feel of her skin, each bump of her ribs under her fingers. She was worked up, but she was always gentle with someone new. Tickling her nethers with her tail, May massaged Sybari's plump breasts, thrusting her pierced ones into the fleshy orbs. Captivated by the ornate balls attached to them, Sybari caught one between her fingers. "Do these collect sexual energy?" May raked her teeth along her shoulder. "Yes." "Like you weren't powerful enough?" May smirked. "I like to have some extra just in case. You never know when someone might throw a binding spell on you." Sybari took hold of one of her nipples, sucking and pulling on the piercing. "You have the most amazing tits." "Some of that's due to my pets." May broke away to grab her little box. She opened the door, pulling out a caterpillar-like bug. It was grey in colour and covered in lumpy orange spots, with a bee-like face and rows of ugly legs. "What is that?" she asked. "It's commonly known as a mammary miner. They bit me when I got caught in a giant spider wolf web, but I enjoyed them so much I brought some with me. I've been using them for months, if you can't tell by my nipples." She held the bug out on her palm. "Do you want to try?" "Um..." She looked quiet worried at the prospect. May laughed and popped the slug on her own nipple. It's large sucker mouth wrapped around it, pulsating and making her groan. She quickly affixed one to the other and they both watch the bugs suck. The familiar pricks of pain stung her breasts as the needles lodged themselves in her nipples, though it barely registered now they were loose and welcoming. The tubes the bugs inserted began to inflate, stretching her nipples open with little resistance. The bugs injected gushes of hot fluid into her breasts, filling them up with its spawn. When they were done, they vibrated and extracted their needles, then let go and fell lifelessly to the forest floor. "What happens now?" Sybari asked. In answer, May leaned over her and dipped a finger into Sybari's soaking cunt. She brought her face down to replace it with her five-inch tongue, stretching the long muscle deep inside her and spiralling it. "Oh, devils, what is that?" May took her head out from between Sybari's thighs, sticking her tongue out to show her the three barbells along its length. Sybari grinned. "Turn around." Pulling out her tail, May changed positions so Sybari could return the favour. The girl was good too. May had slept with numerous creatures, all with varying skills and attributes. But succubi were usually guaranteed to be excellent lovers, and Sybari didn't disappoint. Her work, coupled with the larvae in her breasts, soon had May breathing hard. As they grew, the bugs started to move, wriggling around in the fluid that was swelling her breasts. She couldn't withstand the tickling anymore, and came with a moan, her cunt gushing fluid over Sybari's face. When she'd recovered enough, she returned to eating the succubus out, surging her tongue along her slippery walls and sucking on her clit. She pulled gently on some of the girl's piercings, stretching her labia and making her climax. *** As Sybari lay panting, May crawled up to kiss her lips, making her taste herself. She delighted in the flavour of their cum mixed together in her mouth. While they'd been fucking, May's boobs had continued to grow, doubling in size, while her nipples stayed erect and fat. "Whoa." Sybari marvelled at the increased growth, giving the inflated orbs a squeeze. "Does it hurt?" Through half-lidded eyes, May breathed out, "It feels so good." The two of them lay there for some time, sticky and hot, caressing each other's bodies until green liquid began to weep from May's breasts. Ten minutes on, something pushed against her still dilated nipple, nudging it open and weaselling inside the passage. May bit her lip as the first one popped free. The others followed, bug after bug, making the hole wider and allowing the green fluid and a creamy substance to escape. It trickled down her body in a glistening stream. "Fuck!" May came again, her toes curling as the larvae slid easily from her lubricated passage. Eventually, her breasts were still, the bugs leaving her nipples wide enough to stick her pinkie in. "Sure you don't want to try?" she asked Sybari, catching a couple to put in her box. The rest she squished under her hoof as they tried to wriggle away. "I don't know. Do your boobs stay like that?" They had deflated significantly, but were still swollen. "The fluid will dissipate over the next few hours. But they are a cup larger than they were before I started doing this, and my nipples are like this all the time now. They used to be only half the size and thickness. I'm not sure if they'll eventually go back if I stop, or if they're like this permanently." As good as it felt, Sybari wasn't sure if she really wanted things crawling around in her boobs. "It's a bit weird." May looked thoughtful. "Mmm, I should probably find some friends." Sybari patted her shoulder. "I'll be your friend."
