The trip takes longer than expected. At least it feels much longer.
You’re 22 years old, fresh out of a Bachelor’s degree in Corporate Communication, whatever that’s supposed to mean, and you’re almost broke. An airplane ticket is out of the question.
So you take the bus to London, where you catch the Eurostar to Paris; it’s crowded and not particularly comfortable; you have to wait a couple of hours in Paris before catching the international train from Gare de Lyon, where you settle in a comfortable position in your third-class seat.
You feel a little anxious, but hopeful that something better is waiting for you out there.
Something new.

$A[Why did I decide to do this anyways?]
It certainly wasn’t the money, though your bank account could appreciate every little bit it can get.
“You’ll see the world and become wiser!” your mum said.
“You’ll nail some hot Romanian chicks!” argued your friends.
"I'll finally have time to work on my book!" you said to yourself.
You bought into those arguments and now here you are, ready for an adventure.
The train takes several days as it chugs its way through the green fields of eastern France, the small villages in the mountains of Germany and the hills of Austria, filled with more wind turbines and farms than you thought possible.
You stop every now and then, get off at some station where you have a coffee and a sandwich while you chat to some random people, waiting for your next train relay. As you go farther East the locals speak less and less English and the polite Germanic accents are replaced with friendly but confused Slavic tones. You smile and nod, trying to remember some of the words.
$A[After all, this is what it’s all about, right?]

The final train drops you off at Timisoara, a big city in western Romania. From there you take another bus to Lugoj, but after that things get harder. You have to get to a village that’s so small it’s not even on the map. You spend the night at a cheap hotel then convince one of the locals to give you a ride in exchange for what little you have left in your wallet.
$I[You lost 80£]
He drives silently as you follow the river Timish deeper into the mountains. The road is steep and perilous and in progressively worse condition the further away you go. You begin to wonder if you haven't fallen victim to some scam, the big country man next to you driving towards a secluded location...
Before you have too much time to dwell on these thoughts, you spot a handful of rooftops nested among the trees.

In any case, you arrive at //a village//.
$a['Am I at the right place?'] you ask the man, but he shrugs, takes a few paces around the car to stretch his legs, then gets back in and drives off.
You look around - there is a road sign with a name, but it's broken, half of it missing and the edge charred as if struck by lightning. Even on the remaining part the paint is so old that you can’t really make out any of the letters. Still, this has to be it - there are no other villages nearby.
The village itself is very small - a main street and a few clusters of stone houses, few dozens at best. The mountain air is clean and fresh, filling your nostrils with the scent of old pines and green moss. Save for a few electric lamps barely illuminating the street, it doesn’t look very modern. Judging by the architectural style, it hasn't moved in the last few centuries.
$A[Old and authentic, no technological distractions... this could be good for writing and inspiration. I'm sure there are lots of legends and folklore to get out of the locals, if I ask them nicely...]
You notice a congregation of buildings that’s bound to be the main square.

There isn't much here and you feel somewhat lost.
$a[‘Excuse me, I’m looking for… “The Crooked Elm” hotel. It’s in this village…’] In your best Romanian you address a passerby, a man in his forties wearing a respectable however old-fashioned suit.
Along with your explanation you vaguely gesture around, hoping that you don’t sound too ridiculous. Given how few houses there are it’s somewhat embarrassing that you haven’t found the place yourself.
‘The residence is located outside of town’ he replies, surprising you with his flawless English and deep, suave voice. ‘Head down the main road this way - there is a small torrent that later joins into the river. Follow the path upstream, towards the mountains, and you shall find it in about an hour.’
$a[‘An hour!’] you exclaim. Just when you thought your journey was over.

You can make out the road the gentleman is talking about and even if you haven’t brought much luggage with you the thought of carrying your bags uphill for an hour disheartens you.
$a[‘Isn’t there some sort of transportation?’]
You turn around, but the man is gone. In fact there isn’t anyone else around - if you didn’t know any better, you would have said that the village was deserted.
The trees rustle in the wind. It’s only 6 p.m. but the village is on an eastern slope and with the sun blocked behind the tall ridges, the world is already sinking in velvet shadows.
You sigh.

Behind you can make out a large grey manor built into the hillside.
<div id="center"><img src="images/tr/environments/mansion.png" width="1200" align="center"></div>
It’s several stories high, a central part and two wings with several towers and balconies looming over the mournful garden. It’s hard to make out everything in the darkness, but you estimate it has at least two dozen guest rooms, perhaps more.
$A[Wow... the place must have been a real luxury resort back in the day, perhaps then the village was a popular tourist destination? A shame, now it reeks of disuse and decay... Could be a cool place to stay, but I doubt they get many visitors.
On the bright side, my job as a receptionist is probably going to be a whole lot of sitting around, waiting and doing nothing. Perhaps I could go back down to the village and find a pub, befriend the locals? Or maybe get back to that book I've always wanted to write?]
A thought for later. For now, you should just move in.

You pull the string and the bell rings with a faint and hollow sound. Instinctively, you step back without knowing why. After a few seconds, the (link-reveal:"gate creaks open.")[
$A[What is this, a hidden mechanism, or some sort of an elaborate joke? Would they go to such lengths just to create the illusion of a haunted house? Maybe it's good for their business, but still... I'll have to come back and figure it out later.]
Your back aches too much right now and even if there were a few hidden wires somewhere, you probably wouldn't be able to see them in the darkness anyways.

You were quite certain there was service back in the village, but you really don't feel like doing another 1 hour walk down. And then up again. //Ugh.//<div id="center">$gar</div>
Entering the garden, you make your way down a crooked road and eventually arrive at a large grey manor built into the hillside.

A thought for later. For now, you should just move in. As you approach the main entrance, the front door creaks open and a silhouette of a man emerges from inside, carrying a metal candlestick.
$A[Yeah, definitely using the old building and the props as a means of attracting more visitors...]
Soon you're close enough to make out his features - he's middle aged, probably in his late fifties, with pale skin and bald head bearing a number of scars.

The desk is relatively large and made from a heavy, thick wood. It's furniture from another generation, when chairs and desks were built to last. You don't think you could ever move it even if you tried.
There's also a little stand on it with a sign that currently reads "CLOSED". Behind it is a stack of other signs - you flip through them: "OPEN", "BACK IN 10 MINUTES", "BEWARE OF DOG". The last one looks like it hasn't been used for a while.

After some searching you find the dining hall on the ground floor, near the reception. It's a spacious room lined with tall windows creating the illusion of a glass wall looking towards the garden. The light that stems in is a dirty grey, and while a little melancholic, you don't find it unpleasant.
<img src="images/tr/characters/ionut_3.png" width="400" align="right" class="char">
You look at the antique chairs and tables, wondering if they're fully functional or just for decoration.
$Io['Sit! Today - I cook. Vat do you vant?']
The servant's face peers through an opening in the opposite wall, complete with a metal counter and stacks of plates.
$A[That must be the kitchen...]
$a['I'll have eggs and bacon.'] you shout back.
$Io['Coming vright up!']
Soon you hear a pleasant sizzling and then Ionut comes out, dropping a hot plate of bacon and eggs on your table. You notice that he walks a little funny, but your mind is busy elsewhere. $A[Perhaps his leg hurts?] It doesn't matter. You start munching and tell yourself that he doesn't look like a bad guy after all. Yesterday he looked a little creepy, insidious even, but right now you're willing to believe he's just the average Joe who happens to have a strong accent and misshapen, bald head. It's hardly his fault.
$Io['It is gud, ja?']
$a['Ja, ja, sehr gut!'] you reply instinctively. The trip through Europe really scrambled your head with languages. Before you can correct your mistake however, he returns to the kitchen.
(display:"goto")[[Finish your eggs.]] (set: $hour to 9)(set: $minute to 30)(set: $tour to 0)(set: $library_found to 0)<div id="center">$din</div>
You push your empty plate aside and pat your belly. That was a good breakfast. As if sensing that you're done, the servant emerges again and comes to sit in front of you, placing two cups of coffee on the table.
$Io['Nice to meet. I Ionut.'] he grins at you.
$a['Hello, Ionut, I'm Alex,'] you reply.
There is an awkward pause.
$Io['So, start tomorrow.']
$a['Yes. What do I have to do?']
$Io['Several things. Virst: stay at reception.']
$a['The whole day?']
$Io['From 6 to 10.']
$a['6 to 10?!' that's 18 hours!']
$Io['No, only 4 hours'], he corrects you - $Io['6 in the avternoon.']
You look at Ionut, confused.
$Io['Nobody come early. Guest come - they sleep; they go.']
$A[That explains why the pay is so low...but I'll have lots of free time, so that's not too bad.]

Ionut takes a sip from his coffee, as if thinking if he's forgetting anything. His skin, pale and thick, makes his face look like an unfinished clay sculpture.
$a['So... that's it?'] You still can't believe that your work day is only 4 hours.
$Io['That's it. During day you free. If need help - I ask, you come. If Mister Petrescu need something - he tell you. Rest of time - up to you. Try not get lost in the forest.']
You drink your own coffee, letting the information sink in. It seems that you'll have some time on your hands.

$Io['Yes. Come.']
You stand up and follow the servant.
$Io['Ve are in the dining hall. If you vant breakvast - before 11. If you vant dinner - betveen 20 and 22. Else - stay hungry.']
Looking at Ionut, it's hard to tell if he's being serious or is attempting some kind of joke. In either case, he continues the tour.
$Io['Ground floor - center - reception; left side - kitchen; right side - saloon, rooms for games.']
$a['Games?']
$Io['Mostly cards and pool. Go if you vant. Avter that - library. Need key.']
$a['Yes, Mr. Petrescu gave me one yesterday.']
$Io['Good.']
Ionut waves towards the stairway.

Ionut gives you a nod and finishes his coffee. While he drinks, you notice that the thumb on this right hand is abnormally large and a slightly different shade. $A[Perhaps a birth defect?]
He returns to the kitchen with his slightly waddling walk, leaving you alone with your thoughts. The day is still young and you have some options of what to do.

The manor is surrounded by an expansive garden circled by the fence which you first saw last night. You walk along it for a while, but it keeps going as far as you can see, the terrain becoming rougher and even less well-kept the farther away from the mansion you go.
Eventually the low, sickly grass is replaced by ever taller thorns and bushes, making your advance difficult. When you're about to give up, you notice another $in[gate] in the fence.

You know that the village isn't much, but it's still your closest link to civilization, so you force yourself to do the hour walk downhill, trying not to think that you'll have to climb back again.
You arrive at the village winded, but the fresh mountain air helps you quickly cool down. The tall mountain trees cast the village into a deep shade and despite the burning summer sun in its zenith, the place feels veiled from its heat.

$A[Like it was in another world...]
You explore the village roads, the fleeting faces of its inhabitants glancing at you through the windows as you go. You never meet anyone's gaze directly, but you can feel their eyes on the back of your head, following you around.
(set: $duh to 1)
You expected the village to be only a few simple households, but during your walk you discover there is an $in[antique shop], a small $in[inn] and a $in[hunting cabin].

Hidden in between two massive stone houses, the antique shop is a sort of extension linking its neighbours, making you think of some sort of small critter that saw an empty space and decided to dwell there. Its narrow facade - with barely enough space for a small door and a single window - and irregular architecture is the reason you miss it the first few times, but you eventually notice the faded inscription in front "ANT QUE BOUTI UE".
You push the door of the boutique, bending a little to avoid hitting your head on the low doorframe. The inside of the shop is dusty and cramped with hundreds of small objects - you see furniture and decorations; jewelry, small figurines and toys; watches, mostly mechanical as far as you can tell; pens and quills; posters, stamps and postcards, a lot of ornate boxes and an immense sea of undefined and unknowable shapes.
The shop is illuminated by small electric bulbs that cover everything with a dirty, yellow light, as if it was a second-hand light used and reused throughout the centuries and too tired to shine like it used to. The boutique, though cramped and narrow, extends inward, like the belly of a giant whale which has swallowed thousands of objects over its life and now lies comatose, slowly digesting.
With the corner of your eye you sense something moving.

Seemingly out of nowhere, a young woman has appeared behind the counter, looking at you with a mischievous smile. At first glance she appears no older than yourself, probably in her early twenties. Her hair is dark and curly, with a tinge of violet, her skin - flawless and pale like marble, and her green eyes - is that a hint of yellow? - peer straight through you with a wild, feline stare.

$a['I- uh-, wha-']
$M['You look like a man in need of an accessory.'] She decides looking you up and down. $M['Perhaps a watch?']
Without waiting for your reply, she transitions instantaneously from one side of the counter to the other, standing next to you, her fingers already picking different watches from the dusty shelves, giving them a soft brush before sliding them around your wrist, giving a short $M["tss, tss, not the right one"] and putting them back on the row again.
$a['I-, oh-, wait-']
$M['Not a watch then? I understand. Not really your thing. But you need something, oh yes, I can sense that you need something. Something to keep you safe, something to keep you //fresh//.']

The woman disappears into the belly of the beast, her movements fast and perfectly silent. Within several heartbeats she returns, carrying something in her hand. Before you can react she wraps it around your wrist, tying it with a little knot.

You leave the village behind, your head filled with more questions than answers.

The more you think about it the fuzzier your memories become, to the point where you start questioning if it wasn't all just a dream. But then you look down on your wrist, the little bracelet dangling inconspicuously with its strange beads as if it was pretending to be a normal object.
//Pretending.//

It appears to be some sort of history book, the yellow pages printed with the heavy, slightly smudged ink of the old printing press. You open the volume at page 25:
$B1[**Dating back to the Slavic tribes before the middle ages, the inhabitants of what is known today as the Romanian mountains have always followed a strict code of social and geopolitical hierarchy, separating the region into autonomous constituencies known as "hills". Every hill had its own ruler, a hereditary title, who held power over the land and its people and in exchange vowed to protect his subjects.
Some believe that the modern expression "king of the hill" originated from these early societal structures. Throughout the history of the region, different countries and kings have claimed the territories to be within their borders, but they have mostly respected the hills and their power.**]

The language is somewhat difficult to read as your Romanian is far from perfect. You open the first page:

A red volume with thin white paper, "Legends from the Mountains" is a collection of myths and old tales accompanied with exquisite drawings in colour. You open a chapter at random:
$B2[//Transylvanian folklore has become known worldwide for its legends about **vampires**. One of the common misconceptions however, associated with this mythos, is the portrayal of the vampire as a solitary creature that inhabits some distant and forsaken place such as a castle or a ruin.
In truth, vampires are depicted in the old tales as social creatures that live in packs and abide by a strict hierarchy. Every pack is led by an Elder, a powerful being that has acquired knowledge and skills over centuries. He is followed by his son^^1^^ and then by a handful of lesser vampires who usually do not live in the same place but in surrounding villages or dwellings, which together form the **Elder Covenant**.
^^1^^//]$B2sub[ The Elder always has a single son to avoid infights for the heritage. While vampires are portrayed with a lifespan of centuries, they're not believed to be immortal, and thus the son eventually replaces his father and becomes the new Elder. Elders do not take other vampires for wives for the same reason - a potential claim for power - and thus resort to humans for the purpose of breeding.]

<img src="images/tr/characters/Elise_v2.png" width="320" align="right" class="char">
To your surprise, one of the doors on your right opens and a woman walks out in the hallway, walking towards you without a sound.
She is tall and dark - her ebony skin and short black hair reflecting the light with an almost metallic sheen. However what is most peculiar about her are her proportions - her head is small and thin, her stick-like arms flail around her equally thin torso which is covered with a tight leather jacket. And still, despite this slim and skinny upper section, under her waist her body bulges out into an entirely different shape: her ass - round and protruding - is almost a separate entity altogether, occupying - you genuinely wonder - almost as much space as the rest of her.
(set: _ti to 8)
As she closes the distance towards you, her round green spectacles - glare straight at you, like a pair of alien eyes. Her gaze makes your heart pound faster, filling you with indescribable, inexplicable emotions.
The woman raises a hand gloved in the same black leather and points a bony finger at you:
$E['You must be the new maid. My room requires assistance.']

A few minutes later, while you're eating in the semi-complete darkness of the dining hall, a new silhouette enters the room. You immediately identify the bizarre outline of the woman you met earlier. She takes a seat across the table from Mihai, occupying what appears to be the biggest armchair you've ever seen, with a seat large enough for two people to sit on side by side comfortably and a tall back covered in numerous fancy cushions. Her slim body and small round head look almost ridiculous in comparison, yet somehow she seems to fill the chair quite nicely with the rest of her body...
Looking at her you start getting a headache and you move your gaze away, rubbing your tired eyes. The room is so dark and the candles so faint that the shadows are starting to play tricks on you.. Bits of the conversation make their way to you, but it's too low and jumbled to make any sense.

You walk along it for a while, but it keeps going as far as you can see, the terrain becoming rougher and even less well-kept the farther away from the mansion you go.

The inside of the basement is more akin to the opening of a dungeon, with a cold stony floor and pillars supporting the manor on top. There are matches left near the hatch and you use them to light a torch which illuminates well enough the space several feet around you.
There are pipes and valves covering most of the east wall and going into the ceiling, as well as a handful of crates, a workbench and some tools hanging near it, more torches and cobwebs wobbling by the cold draft; and of course, there is the [[generator]].

Besides, when you get back down you'll lock the gate behind you and sneak the key on Ionut's keyring. Nobody will ever know a thing...
You start climbing, using the screen of your phone as a source of light to guide your way. Even if there isn't any reception up here, at least it's good for something.
The staircase continues for quite some time, spiraling upwards for what seems like hundreds of steps. From time to time there are doors on the side, but you're really interested in getting to the top.
After what seems like an eternity, you reach the last step and a small platform leading to a single wooden door. Fortunately enough, there isn't any lock here, only a brass handle that looks like it hasn't been used in a while.
You draw a deep breath and [[enter the room]].<div id="center">$dark</div>
The faint light of your screen illuminates a small halo around you in what seems like complete and total darkness. There aren't any silhouettes of objects around you - no furniture, no old stuff, nothing at all. You turn to all directions but as far as you can tell the room is empty. And completely dark.
It's a darkness that envelops you and sticks to your clothes, a rich and dense darkness which makes it hard to breathe and almost drowns you. Walking in a straight line you reach the wall - and indeed the windows - and examine them with increasing astonishment. They have been covered with some black and impenetrable material that makes it impossible to tell that it's actually day outside.
Raising your phone higher, you see something big and round hanging from the ceiling above. It shifts uneasily, as if irritated by the light you're pointing towards it, it's enormous leathery wings curling to protect it's head...
'**Vat have you done!!!**'
You turn around to the enormous figure of Ionut charging towards you at full speed.

Panic sets in and you begin to struggle, trying to get out, but your(if:$dead>0)[ weak, feminine] hands and feet are bound and the increasing weight of the earth on top of you is too much. Chunks of dirt fall on your chest, splattering a handful of worms on your naked body.

Your jaw drops and you feel a deep unease and vertigo. How could this be? It doesn't make any sense.
You remember distinctly entering the boutique not so long ago and it was still early! You didn't spend more than 30-40 minutes in there, maximum an hour, and yet somehow...
With a racing heart you run through the village and reach the stream. With no idea what's going on, getting back to the manor seems the best option.

Then there is another sound - the distant howling of wolves, somewhere to the east. You're acutely aware just how dangerous this path can be at night. You should have never stayed this late at the village, but damn the time flew impossibly at the antique shop.
Suddenly you catch something with the corner of your eye, a blurry movement between the trees on the other side of the stream. Curiosity however is topped by the voice of caution and your pace quickens, not waiting to see what is lurking about.
As you turn a corner on the road, a few hundred feet farther upstream, you see a silhouette of a man blocking the way.

"The doors of the hatch take some effort to lift but you eventually manage to open them, removing the vines that have already started to crawl on top.
The inside of the basement is more akin to the opening of a dungeon, with a cold stony floor and pillars supporting the manor on top. There are matches left near the hatch and you use them to light a torch which illuminates well enough the space several feet around you.
There are pipes and valves covering most of the east wall and going into the ceiling, as well as a handful of crates, a workbench and some tools hanging near it, more torches and cobwebs wobbling by the cold draft; and of course, there is the generator.
On the opposite side of the room there is another door leading further down...",
"With a hungry stomach, you enter the dining hall and are greeted with a strange sight. All the windows have been covered with heavy wooden shutters from the exterior, such that barely any sunlight enters the room at all. To compensate for this, candles have been lit on almost all of the tables, their faint flames doing little but pushing the darkness a couple of feet away.
Sitting on a large ornate table not far from the entrance, you recognise the silhouette of a man with a golden cane.
'Ah, Mr. Reid. Coming for some breakfast?'
'Yes, I was hungry... pardon my curiosity, Mr. Petrescu' - you decide to lean on the side of caution when addressing your boss - 'but what is all this?'
'Just having breakfast with an old friend, no cause for worry. It's much more romantic this way, don't you find?' Something in his tone implies that disagreement is not really an option.
'Yes, of course, Mr. Petre-'
'Although it would be better with the grand chandelier' - he points upwards towards a heavy ball of light bulbs and crystals - 'but unfortunately the power is still down. Speaking of which, have you any intention of going down to the village today?'",
"'Eggs and bakon, ja?'
You give him a nod and he disappears again, followed by the sound of sizzling.
A few minutes later, while you're eating in the semi-complete darkness of the dining hall, a new silhouette enters the room. You immediately identify the bizarre outline of the woman you met earlier. She takes a seat across the table from Mihai, occupying what appears to be the biggest armchair you've ever seen, with a seat large enough for two people to sit on side by side comfortably and a tall back covered in numerous fancy cushions. Her slim body and small round head look almost ridiculous in comparison, yet somehow she seems to fill the chair quite nicely with the rest of her body...
Looking at her you start getting a headache and you move your gaze away, rubbing your tired eyes. The room is so dark and the candles so faint that the shadows are starting to play tricks on you.. Bits of the conversation make their way to you, but it's too low and jumbled to make any sense.",
" To your surprise, one of the doors on your right opens and a woman walks out in the hallway, walking towards you without a sound. She is tall and dark - her skin and short hair black as ebony. However what is most peculiar about her are her proportions - as she advances you can see the outline of her body: her head is small and thin, and her stick-like arms flail around her equally skeletal torso which, if it has breasts at all, hides them very well under a tight leather jacket. And still despite this slim and skinny upper section, under her waist her body bulges out into an entirely different shape: her ass - round and protruding - is almost a separate entity altogether, occupying - you genuinely wonder - almost as much space as the rest of her. ",
"You leave your room and head instinctively towards the staircase, when a cold breeze brushes an icy finger on your cheek. You look both ways - all the windows are closed - but after all this is a pretty old house...
Suddenly, you're feeling a little curious to explore the top floor. Both Mihai and Ionut were very brief about it, and you wonder if there aren't some hidden delights to find - perhaps an opening to the roof? Surely the view to the mountain will be breathtaking. And then there are the towers... you could always take a peek around. ",
"You wake up full of energy and ready to take on the world! Despite the limited commodities, you had a good night's sleep and are looking forward to your first day of work.
...which starts at 6pm. In your enthusiasm you'd almost forgotten. Still, you'll probably find something useful to do during the day! ",

You rise in your bed and toss the covers aside. There is an immediate and profound sensation that something is off. Then apprehension strikes - your body is different. Smaller waist; leaner, hairless legs; you raise up your hands - they're similar, but definitely different - smaller, more delicate; your gaze falls down on a pair of mounds bulging your pyjamas.
You shoot out of bed and into the small bathroom attached to your chamber, where a strange new face is looking at you in the mirror.
Well, some of it is not new - your eyes are the same, dark brown, unchanged; your hair is almost the same, dark straight, though perhaps longer.
You concentrate on your features - they have shifted around in slight but important ways, crafting the face of a young, beautiful woman staring with an open jaw and wide, terrified eyes.

You try to think very hard about the last thing you remember, but your recollection from last night is vague at best.
$A[Given the irrefutable weight of reality, I must allow the possibility that the supernatural exists and it has affected me in some way. In some very peculiar way indeed...]
The shock subsiding, you look down at your changed body again, with a pique of curiosity. Ignoring the circumstances of the event, it is quite the extraordinary experience.

To your surprise, one of the doors on your right opens and a woman walks out in the hallway, walking towards you without a sound. She is tall and dark - her skin and short hair black as ebony. However what is most peculiar about her are her proportions -
$A[**wait, Wait, WAIT! I remember her! I remember this!**]

You blink fast, fighting with your headache and confusion. The black woman raises a hand gloved in black leather and points a bony finger towards you:
$E['You must be the new maid. My room requires assistance.']

With a hungry stomach, you enter the dining hall and are greeted with a strange sight. All the windows have been covered with heavy curtains. Barely any sunlight enters the room.
Candles have been lit on almost all of the tables, their faint flames doing little but pushing the darkness a couple of feet away.
Sitting on a large ornate table not far from the entrance, you recognise the silhouette of a man with a golden cane.

The Crooked Elm looks pretty ordinary. Disappointment crawls in your mind, but then you remember what the cat told you about Mihai. $A[Is he really a vampire? What kind? Is he Dracula or Edward? Will he notice that I can see him? Does he have giant black wings? Am I putting myself in danger?]

You look up and freeze in horror as a giant, truck-sized eight-legged black nightmare glides along the corridor straight towards you. You fall back on the floor, your legs wriggling and scrambling to push you towards the wall, as far away as possible from the thing.

The spider reaches you in seconds, its long stick-like legs gripping on the walls and ceiling as it moves and its large, round abdomen dragging behind it.

All around, the room is littered with bones of various shapes and sizes, all gnawed to a clean white. Beside them lay the corpses of smaller animals, sucked dry and shriveled as if there remained nothing but a layer of skin covered by dry fur.
Your attention shifts back to yourself - laying on your back, body wrapped in a cocoon neck to toes, with only your head sticking out to breathe. You can't help but notice that your belly is bulging out abnormally, swollen to the size of a basketball. Your terror is multiplied as you feel a soft movement inside you and you start screaming again.

What is really odd however is not the unfamiliar language, but the fact that however neatly, the book is clearly written by hand, the occasional ink dot punctuating the otherwise flawless calligraphy.
You place the book back and take another one, titled "05-03-1648", only to find the same mysterious language and identical almost perfect handwriting.
$A[It's rather unusual to find manuscripts these days... is this a family record? But then if it was some form of ancient Romanian, I would have been able to pick up at least a couple of words. Interesting.]
The dates stretch back a few hundred years at least, from what you can tell. The most recent title is "02-01-1945" and after that the records stop. There are, however, a number of untitled books waiting on the shelf.

When you enter the dining hall the room is already prepared, white table cloths with candlesticks covering all tables. Through the windows you can see the darkness beyond the manor, only the full moon's shadow peeking through the dirty glass.
Looking around, the place is completely desolate. You can't see any guests in sight.
$A[Ionut mentioned that there are only two guests at the moment, but this is still a little sad. Are they not hungry, or just busy elsewhere?]
On a table close to the window, Mihai is sitting alone, a glass of wine in his hand but no plate infront. He is the only person in the room. When he sees you he beckons you forward, gesturing a chair across from him.

You smirk and take the bait, sitting on the designated chair. There's nobody else around anyways, so you might as well talk to the eccentric owner.
$Mi[So, Mr Reid, how do you find my hotel? Is it everything that you had hoped for?] Mihai's deep voice bears only the slightest of foreign accents, resembling more the intonation of a 19th century earl. Even now his golden headed cane is with him, leaning casually on the side of his chair.

You shake your head politely, raising your hands in an improvised gesture of apology. The owner nods dryly and doesn't insist.
$A[What an eccentric guy..]
Drinking wine alone in an empty hall may seem classy, but you suspect its just part of the façade that Mihai puts up to make his hotel more attractive to tourists. No doubt he expects you tell tales of the haunted manor and mysterious owner when you get back home, hopefully fooling some of your friends and relatives into checking out the place. Now that you think about it quite a few of the guys you know are gullible enough to at least hope there would be ghosts around the place, and no doubt the owner has arranged the occasional strange noise at night to keep the visitors coming...
All in all the place is quite inspiring for the right kind of person, if you forget for a moment that it's all just a front. With grim cynicism you dig into your dinner which Ionut has brought discretely on your table.

You take up a summer job as a receptionist at The Crooked Elm hotel, which is also an ancient manor. When you arrive you meet with Mihai, the son of the owner and effectively your boss (also a vampire), and Ionut, the domestic servant (and also basically a mix between Igor and Frankenstein's monster).
When you go down to the nearby village, you enter an antique shop and meet the owner, Felicia. She gives you an enchanted bracelet. On your way back to the hotel you get ambushed by a werewolf and die.
After your death the real game begins. You wake up as a woman (side effect of the bracelet) and start realizing you're in some shit. The goal of the game is to complete the day without dying (which is not easy to do). Each time you die your bracelet loses life charges and if you reach 0 it's game over. You can recharge it by draining sexual energy from victims (it's a succubus bracelet.)<div id="center">$inn</div>

After a few minutes, he returns.
$L['I'm terribly sorry for the interruption my dear, my *friend* over there needed my immediate council on a private matter. But I shan't bother you with such trifles. Now, where were we?']

The two of you finish the rest of the wine between more jokes and kisses. When the bottle is empty he takes your hand and leads you outside.
You have to admit that you're not paying too much attention where you're going, but after a while you leave the village and walk a short way towards the forest, after which the familiar silhouette of the $in[hunting cabin] appears among the trees. $L['We're almost there my love.']
You look around surprised. There are no other buildings in sight.
$a['Lavius, I didn't take you for a hunter!']
$L['A hunter? I am also that I suppose.'] - he addresses you a strange grin. $L['But the place where we're going is not inside the cabin, but *beneath* it. Come, darling.']
Wrapping a hand around your shoulders Lavius leads you around the cabin. The backside is just a dull wooden wall with no distinguishable markings. Your companion approaches the left corner and grabs one small twig sticking from the planks and gently twists it around. A portion of the wall caves in and slides away, opening to a flight of stone stairs descending somewhere into the darkness. Reaching a hand inside, he flips something with a loud *click!* and a row of lamps lights up, illuminating the passage with a yellow glow.

After a couple dozen steps the staircase ends with a heavy wooden door that Lavius pushes open. You step into a long hallway with a handful of doors to each side. There are more of the lamps spraying dirty yellow light around. Copper pipes run the length of the ceiling, punctuated with valves and pressure gauges.
$L['Welcome to my secret laboratory!']
$a['It won't be secret for long if you invite every girl to visit'] you chuckle.
$L['Perhaps, perhaps not'] he replies with a mischievous smile.
$a['And what's to stop from just anyone barging in anyways?'] you ask, strolling down the hallway.

And of course the biggest feature is the the king-sized bed in the middle, a glass of red wine already waiting on the night stand.
$a['So is this your-']
Not letting you finish, Lavius kisses you again, passionately, his lips stealing the breath from your lungs. It's a long kiss, a demanding kiss that takes everything you've got and gives nothing back. Your body grows even hotter, lust flaring between your legs. He pushes you onto the bed.
You land flat on your back, the satin sheets cushioning your fall. He is on top of you, kissing your lips, kissing your neck, kissing your breasts, his hands tearing apart your clothes as he descends lower in a flurry of desire.
$a['What are you-']
He silences you with another brute kiss, completely shredding your $suit to pieces. Your naked body glistens in the darkness, beads of sweat covering your skin. Lavius runs his hands along it, feeling every curve. Reaching your arms, he places them in an outstretched position above your head and you soon feel the soft touch of leather wrapping around your wrists.

Slowly, Lavius undresses in front of you. In the darkness you can't see much, but his body is clearly lean and muscular. When he's done he approaches you, sitting on the bed in front of you and wrapping his strong arms under your legs.

He silences you with another kiss, gently caressing your hair as he does. You relax again, giving in to his seduction. He binds your legs as well, pulling them apart. You feel completely defenceless and exposed, your flower twitching as he stares hungrily at it.
$A[Maybe this is exactly what I wanted...]
He bends down and kisses it, leaving a trail of saliva along your slit. You feel that you can't resist him anymore. $A[Just take me already!]
Slowly, Lavius undresses in front of you. In the darkness you can't see much, but his body is clearly lean and muscular. When he's done he approaches you, sitting on the bed in front of you and wrapping his strong arms under your legs.
You feel a finger run along your wet slit.
A shiver runs through your body.

$M['Better be careful where you poke your nose, girl. I'd stay away from that tower for now, if I were you.']
You give her a small nod. 'It happened at night, while I was climbing the hill back to the manor. There was a strange silhouette on the road...' You shiver at the memory, your voice faltering while you struggle to describe it.

$M['Sounds like you ran into a werewolf.']
'A werewolf? I suppose at this point I shouldn't be surprised, but still... is that common?'

$M['Do you need me to tell you not to jump from the roof also?']
There's an awkward pause.

$a['And here I am again.']
$M['Interesting. And this woman, this creature, did she seem evil to you before?']
$a['I don't know... perhaps, a little, but then again...']
$M['Not everything is at it seems, little human. Perhaps you got on her wrong side. Remember: She doesn't know about what happened. It **hasn't happened**. You are the eye of the storm, only you remember your past lives.']

$M['What did you do?']
$a['I met this strange man at the inn... he seemed charming at first, handsome, witty, funny - a true gentleman. But he turned out to be a monster.']
$M['A charming monster? Let me guess, you've met Lavius.']
$a['You know him?!']
$M['He's a bit of a prick if you ask me, but he does have some rather fascinating research going on in that secret lab of his. He's mostly harmless, unless you get in his way.']
$a['**MOSTLY. HARMLESS.** He tied me to a bed and sucked my blood out!! How the is that MOSTLY HARMLESS?!?!']
$M['I'll admit he has his weaknesses, mostly for young naive girls that wonder into our village. That doesn't happen particularly often, so he has to jump on the fresh opportunity, lest it escapes him.']
$a['So I'm a fresh opportunity now?']
$M['For a bored vampire - pretty much, yeah.']
$a['Didn't you say Mihai was a vampire? How many exactly are there?']
$M['Oh, there are a bunch of them around. I'd be more careful if I were you.']
$a['A bunch of them...'] you sigh. $a['Anything else I should know?']
$M['Just try to decline his invitations, however polite they may be. But if you do somehow end up in his lab again, try to look around. Who knows, you might find something interesting.']
Resigned, you nod.You cup your breasts in front of the mirror, squeezing them gently. The first time around your chest was almost as flat as board, but now you have a pair of $a[cute little B cups] that nicely fill your palms. Or rather, you've always had them...
Your face is also prettier, rounder and more feminine, with $a[soft inviting lips] and elegant eyelashes.
Somehow, your femininity has definitely been further enhanced. Where your body used to be average and almost masculine, now stands a $a[seductive hourglass figure] with a thin waist and $a[well rounded, alluring breasts].
Coupled with that is a fair face with white skin and $a[full lips], which are a little more than inviting...
You are different. Before, the changes were gradual, barely perceptible from cycle to cycle. A little larger breasts, a little fuller lips..
Now, you are different. There's no doubt about it. You blink at the mirror.
Your hair is longer, and your face is more feminine for sure. Where your body used to be average and almost masculine, now stands a seductive hourglass figure with a thin waist and well rounded, alluring breasts, the kind of girl that you used to stare at the street, many lifetimes ago.
You also **feel** different. You are no longer staring back at a pretty face, you **are** the pretty face. You've finally slipped in the skin and feel almost at home in your new body.<div id="center">$inn</div>
In the end your curiosity prevails and you follow Lavius' request to stay around while he finishes whatever business he has with his friend.
When he returns you see him carrying an odd-shaped purple bottle, from which he pours you a generous glass.
$L['Let's call it a welcoming present for your arrival to our humble village. May it be just the beginning of many fine adventures for a fine lady!']
You blush a little, lifting the glass to your lips and taking a long sip. It's a strong, sweet wine with a fruity aftertaste that leaves you wanting for more. Within the minute you've downed the whole glass and Lavius serves you another.
The haze in your head quickly thickens and the laughter, smiles and glasses seamlessly mix into one great (text-style:"blurrier")[BLUR]<blur|.

You know that you can't get out of cleaning her room, but you have other things on your mind right now and you don't plan to waste any time.

You wake up lying flat on your back on a bed of satin sheets. He is on top of you, kissing your lips, kissing your neck, kissing your breasts, his hands tearing apart your clothes as he descends lower in a flurry of desire.
$a['What are you-']
He silences you with a brute kiss, completely shredding your $suit to pieces. Your naked body glistens in the darkness, beads of sweat covering your skin. Lavius runs his hands along it, feeling every curve. Reaching your arms, he places them in an outstretched position above your head and you soon feel the soft touch of leather wrapping around your wrists.
$A[What's going on?!]
You begin to struggle but then a part of your mind seems hesitant. $A[Do I really not want this? My body is so hot, it would be so easy to just let him...]

Something tells you they know exactly what's going on but you're unable to break eye contact even as the fingers dig deeper and your breathing becomes hot and steamy.

$A[I guess he was counting on nobody actually finding this place... I was expecting tougher security measures.]
Amidst the piles of machinery and unknown contraptions, there is one which immediately grasps your attention. The source of the humming is a large metal cylinder with various buttons and levers, with wires branching out to the other devices and out of the room. It is unmistakably an electrical generator. A few feet away from it there is a group of metal barrels with flammable stickers on them.

$A[Stay calm, Alexandra, you can do this!]
Unfortunately for you, the big exit door is now **closed**. $A[What the hell?!] You reach out to pull it open, only to discover that there is no handle on the inside. You run your hands along the smooth surface, searching in vain for buttons or hidden mechanisms. There aren't any.

You ignore the question and walk up to the leader confidently, lewdly swaying your hips. You bend over the table, reaching for a mug on the opposite end.

The need overtakes you again and you begin bouncing up and down on your own, much to the men's amusement. The leader reaches and pulls your breasts out, allowing them to jiggle freely as you ride his cock.

Another bead on the bracelet blossoms in crimson.

As a student, (link:"you")[(goto:"You")] have decided to take a gap year to see the world and get a better sense of what you want in life.
After some searching you stumble upon an add in the paper that offers the job of a receptionist at a hotel in a small mountain Village in Romania.
You pack your bags and head on a long trip, eventually crossing over Europe and arriving at your destination.
Getting off the bus, you look around. The village itself is very small - barely a few dozen stone houses at best. The mountain air is clean and fresh, filling your nostrils with the scent of old pines and green moss. Save for a few electric lamps barely illuminating the street, it doesn’t look very modern. Judging by the architectural style, it hasn't moved in the last few centuries.
Unable to locate the hotel, you talk to a strange man who sends you upwards a mountain trail, going along the river. The path is steep and it's getting dark, but after an hour of walking, you eventually arrive.
The hotel is an ancient manor several stories high, a central part and two wings with several towers and balconies looming over the mournful garden. It’s hard to make out everything in the darkness, but you estimate it has at least two dozen guest rooms, perhaps more.
$A[Wow... the place must have been a real luxury resort back in the day, perhaps then the village was a popular tourist destination? A shame, now it reeks of disuse and decay... Could be a cool place to stay, but I doubt they get many visitors.
On the bright side, my job as a receptionist is probably going to be a whole lot of sitting around, waiting and doing nothing. Perhaps I could go back down to the village and find a pub, befriend the locals? Or maybe get back to that book I've always wanted to write?]
There is a fence around it, with a gate that is locked. You shout out but nobody answers.

You are left with more questions than answers, as usual. The owner smiles mysteriously and leaves you to wait, disappearing somewhere in the depths of her shop.
There is an eerie sensation of time stretching and condensing, like a bubble gum being chewed by a lazy panther. You have no idea where that mental image came from, but for some reason it sticks in your head. The minutes stretch, thick like honey, and the hours flow, quick like a mountain stream.
After 5 minutes, according to the mechanical clock on the wall, the antique boutique regurgitates its owner back to the reception.

The ovipositor prods your body and for a moment it seems to hesitate where to go, but then it settles on your back entrance. The thin tube-like organ presses down and easily overcomes the resistance of your relaxed muscles, sliding inside you.
You realize that part of you is anticipating the action. Whether it is the spider venom or your perverted mind, you're almost looking forward to it.
It's comforting to know that it doesn't matter. It's not your fault that you're enjoying it, and it doesn't change anything. Whether you want it or not, [[it's going to happen]].<div id="center">$dark</div>

A hard, round object presses against you. Despite knowing what it will do to you, you realize how much you want it inside. The end begins to stretch you open and despite your relaxed body it struggles to get in.
As the pressure slowly increases you sense your hole growing wider. In your half-awake state you dream of wolves under the full moon and nights of lust and passion.
When the round object is halfway through, there is a brief moment of equilibrium, a stillness as you lie stretched and waiting. Then the tipping point comes and it sinks a millimeter further, after which your body takes over and greedily sucks it all the way in.
There is a sudden and intense wave of pleasure, along with sensation of fullness in your gut.

After a long game of cat and mouse, you eventually reach a strange place at the back of the library, where the tomes look especially old. One of them in particular draws your attention - you're either going crazy or it's the source of the voice.
As soon as your fingers touch the ancient covers you feel a strange electric sensation run through you. This is not an ordinary book.
You turn the front page - it's covered with odd symbols and diagrams that are moving and shifting in front of your very eyes. Just looking at them gives you a headache.

There is an eerie sensation of time stretching and condensing, like a bubble gum being chewed by a lazy panther. You have no idea where that mental image came from, but for some reason it sticks in your head. The minutes stretch, thick like honey, and the hours flow, quick like a mountain stream.
After 5 minutes, according to the mechanical clock on the wall, the antique boutique regurgitates its owner back to the reception.

You look at the servant again, he seems to be trying his best poker face, which isn't going "vell" for him at all.
$a['What's in the aquarium, Ionut?']
The servant looks away. You remember his earlier words about the new guests and your face lights up.
$a['**Who's** in the aquarium, Ionut?']
$Io['Alrigt, vine! It iz a mermaid.']
$a['A mermaid!'] you exclaim. $a['Can I see her? She must be so lonely and sad there in the dark! Maybe if I open the box just a little, she will be happy!']

You consider this. With everything that you've already seen around her, perhaps you shouldn't be expecting to find Ariel. You remember the mermaids of the old myths, luring sailors to the rocks and feeding on their bodies with long sharp teeth....

The servant's eyes grow wild and he lifts you up in the air, spinning you around. Suddenly you are placed face down on the old work table and the servant is on top of you. Before you can say anything his cock rams into your petite ass with more passion than you ever thought possible for such an old man. His weight pushes you down and you just have to take it, waiting until he's done.

The beast pushes on top of you with its full weight, forcing your head down in the mud as your ass raises to accommodate it's giant member.
However much you try to take control, your body craves it. It needs it. Your $breasts are bouncing freely with every thrust of the beast, moans escaping your $lips despite your best efforts.
$A[How can this feel so good?]
Your tail, which isn't your tail, curls up obediently as the beast finally tenses up, its member inflating inside you.
There is something primal, bestial deep inside of you, that is now $a[**awakening**]. The creature bites down on your neck, locking you into place and you feel a series of spurts shoot deep inside your womb. The bracelet glows hot on your wrist, a new bead blossoming crimson as your body absorbs the life energy.
The desire grows inside of you, rising like a tidal wave that threatens to wash over your entire mind. You want to succumb to it so badly, though the last remaining voice of reason warns you that it may have dire consequences. You're not sure if you really care at this point.

A powerful thrust from the beast finally breaks you. A long, animalistic howl escapes your throat, echoing among the darkness of the pine trees.
The werewolf keeps you in place as more spurts spill from its inflated knot. Your mind succumbs to the overflowing pleasure as a pink haze drowns all remaining thoughts.
Through the darkness of the forest, other howls answer yours in the distance. Your body shivers from fear and excitement. Something is about to happen.
Even as the werewolf is still finishing up with you, you see a number of yellow eyes observing you among the trees and bushes.
Unphased, the beast does one final thrust, before leaving your body to collapse on the mossy earth.
You lie on the ground on all fours, head bowed down and ass up in the air as the pack of wolves [[emerges from the darkness]].

Trying your best to keep a fragment of control, you resist the unspeakable urges inside of you and remain quiet, letting the creature do its thing.
The werewolf keeps you in place for a few more minutes, until his knot finally deflates and he plops free from you. A drip of semen spills to the ground, overflowing from your used pussy.
With a dizzy head, you slowly recover from the experience. The smell of wet earth is mixed with the musky aroma of bestial sweat and sex. A wave of guilt and shame overcomes you.
When you finally manage to get up, your legs shaking, the beast is nowhere to be seen. Without you realizing, the devil gown has returned to its normal shape, a long elegant dress covering your figure in the splendor expected from a dancing hall.
Your shaking walk is the only indication that anything happened at all.

Your wolf ears lay low and your tail curls up in readiness.
$A[Damn this devil gown! It got me into this mess on purpose..!!]
The realization does too little too late. The Alpha jumps on you first, while the others watch and wait respectfully around him.
<div id="center"><img src="images/tr/scenes/wolf_pack.png" width="1000" ></div>
An actual wolf feels much smaller and weaker than the creature before him, but you moan all the same. In fact, you can't help it. It is as if you've completely lost control over your actions.
The bracelet glows incredibly hot, and so do the different parts that of the transformed devil's gown. You suddenly feel something appear on your back, right under the wolf's belly.
$A[What- what's going on? Dammit, I can't focus, can't think!]
Your mind is a complete and total haze and you don't fully understand what's going on. Once the Alpha is done with you, he steps aside, leaving the rest of the pack to have their turn.
After a while you lose track of beasts that have had their way with you, everything mixing into a blur of sweat, sex and howling.

The creature is looming over you. It's close enough that the smell hits you, a bestial smell of sweat and mucus that is both repulsive and attractive in its repulsiveness. Your body responds to it with a growing hotness an a light-headed feeling that borders on euphoria.
The creature takes bends over you and your eyes fall down to its giant erection.
$A[Damn it, I used too much pheromones!]
Your error is clear now, but it's too late to fix it. The intentions of the beast are clear and you doubt you can outrun or dissuade it. On one hand, attempting to flee some more can at least save you some face and if you don't manage to escape, you'll know that at least you've tried. On the other hand, if you cooperate perhaps things will go down a lot smoother for you...

You already know what's going to happen, and it's driving you crazy.
The fabric becomes liquid gold, flowing down your skin under the silvery moonlight. Just like before, it leaves most of your body naked, condensing into a fluffy tail and a pair of wolf ears perking out of your hair.
The heat inside of you flares again, your unprotected crotch pointing at the beast. How did you find yourself in this position again?
The beast enters you with a growl, stretching you wide with a single thrusts. He's too big, way too big for you, but your flesh stretches and adapts with unnatural ease, letting the werewolf's giant phallus plunge deep inside you.
<img src="images/tr/scenes/scene1.png" width="1000" align="center">
$A[Alex, why are you doing this to yourself?]
This time, it's your own fault. There are few excuses that you can make to fool yourself. But that's something to think about later. Right now, your [[hips are opening willingly]].

The beast pushes on top of you with its full weight, forcing your head down in the mud as your ass raises to accommodate it's giant member.
You no longer try to take control, your body craves it. It needs it. Your $breasts are bouncing freely with every thrust of the beast, moans escaping your $lips despite your best efforts.
$A[How can this feel so good?]
Your tail, which isn't your tail, curls up obediently as the beast finally tenses up, its member inflating inside you.
There is something primal, bestial deep inside of you, that is $a[**awakening**] again. The creature bites down on your neck, locking you into place and you feel a series of spurts shoot deep inside your womb. The bracelet glows hot on your wrist, a new bead blossoming crimson as your body absorbs the life energy.
The desire grows inside of you, rising like a tidal wave that threatens to wash over your entire mind.
You want to succumb to it so badly.
You want to give up.
You want to give in.

A long, animalistic howl escapes your throat, echoing among the darkness of the pine trees.
The werewolf keeps you in place as more spurts spill from its inflated knot. Your mind succumbs to the overflowing pleasure as a pink haze drowns all reason.
Through the darkness of the forest, other howls answer yours in the distance. Your body shivers from excitement.
Even as the werewolf is still finishing up with you, you see a number of yellow eyes observing you among the trees and bushes.
$A[They are waiting for me.]
Unphased, the beast does one final thrust, before leaving your body to collapse on the mossy earth.
You lie on the ground on all fours, head bowed down and ass up in the air, inviting the beasts to (link-reveal-goto:"emerge from the darkness")[ (set: $sanity to it - 20) (set: $howl to 1)].(set: _ti to 8)<div id="center">$mount</div>

This time your wings appear instantly, blossoming on your back like a red flag to let all the males know that you're in heat. You can feel your reason draining out and being replaced with deep, insatiable lust.
$A[More! I want more!]
Once the Alpha is done, the pack descends upon you. This time there is no order. As soon as one jumps you, another approaches your face. Helpless, you part your lips and let him hump your mouth, swallowing the salty semen.
The next one misses your pussy and plunges in your ass, though you don't seem to mind. Your body can accommodate anything.
After a while you lose track of beasts that have had their way with you, everything mixing into a blur of sweat, sex and howling.

It's a little past noon and you are alone at the reception.
$A[Something very strange is going on...]
Currently Lavius, Elise and the werewolf (in fluffy slippers) are having a late breakfast with Mihai in the dining room. You somehow doubt that all of them have gotten together just for a friendly chat.
You don't know how long they will be at it, but it probably will give you some free time before you have to take care of the guests.
$A[But before I worry about them, perhaps I should find Felicia to see what's going on with me...?]
You glance at the front door. With your increased speed, you can make it down to the village and back to the mansion in about an hour.
(if: $merfed is 0)[Then again, Lavius did ask you to feed the creature in the box, and Mihai will probably expect you to take care of things like this.

Strolling down the other hallway you emerge at the small game room. It has tall windows overlooking the garden, as well as a number of small tables surrounded by armchairs. Of course, the central feature is the old pool table, which is currently occupied by the two players.
$L[Lavius,] dressed in the finest velvet, is skipping around with a glass of wine in his hand. On the other end the $W[werewolf], currently in his human form and still wearing his bath robe and bunny slippers, is trying to aim a trick shot while puffing on a large cigar.
The two of them seem to be in the middle of a heated discussion, but their voices hush as they see you approach.
$L['Well, well, well, if it isn't the beautiful damsel from the reception! Tell me, my dear, do you play pool?']
Truth is, you used to play with your friends back in the day, but it's been a while since you've had any practice. You wonder whether to boast your skills or to keep that information to yourself.

The werewolf rolls his eyes at Lavius, but doesn't seem to care all that much. Ignoring his annoyance completely, the vampire sets the balls into place.
$L['Loser owes a favor, agreed?'] he grins. $L['You can start first of course.']
It's pretty easy to see what Lavius wants, but despite your hindsight into his true nature you decide to play along. $A[I can probably beat him with some luck...]
Unfortunately for you, Lavius seems to be pretty good. He lets you score a few times, but quickly overtakes the table with precise shots that clear his balls while leaving yours in devilishly tricky positions.
As he walks past you for another shot, his hand rests comfortably on your waist. The $R[hunger] that has been growing in you since morning is now nearing a peak. Your belly is burning hot and you find it increasingly difficult to concentrate.
$A[Damn, it's like my own body isn't listening to me...]
Lavius' hand slides from your waist down to your butt. Without thinking, you press against him, allowing him to get a good feel of it.
You take another shot, missing the ball completely.
$L['It seems that it's not your best day, my dear!'] exclaims Lavius with such a sweet voice that you barely catch his mockery. $L['And now it's time to pay your due. Perhaps you would like to take a brief walk with me in the library?']
At the other end of the table, the werewolf sniggers, though it's not clear if it's at you or at his companion.

The werewolf rolls his eyes at Lavius, but doesn't seem to care all that much. Ignoring his annoyance completely, the vampire pulls you closer to the table and begins walking you through the basics of pool.
$L['You have to hold it like this,'] he explains, positioning your hand while leaning behind you. You can smell his perfume float towards you, the warmth of his breath at your neck as he showers you with sweet nothings.
It's pretty easy to see what Lavius wants, but despite your hindsight into his true nature you still quickly find yourself under his spell. The $R[hunger] that has been growing in you since morning is now nearing a peak. Your belly is burning hot and you find it increasingly difficult to concentrate.
$A[Damn, it's like my own body isn't listening to me...]
Lavius' hand slides from your waist down to your butt. Without thinking, you press against him, allowing him to get a good feel of it.
You take another shot, missing the ball completely.
$L['I see that you're already starting to get the hang of it!'] exclaims Lavius with such a sweet voice that you barely catch his mockery. $L['I doubt I have any more to teach you. Perhaps you would like to take a brief walk in the library?']
At the other end of the table, the werewolf sniggers, though it's not clear if it's at you or at his companion.

Sitting at the floor of the library you slowly compose yourself and get dressed again. Lavius has already gone, though you seem to have momentarily lost track of time.
A few things bubble to your conscious attention. First, the $R[hunger] that has been increasing all day has finally subsided. What is worrying however is that even if the urges have gone down, your mind still feels very hazy. In fact, it even feels $A[hazier] than before.
You feel as if you're a little drunk and concentration takes an effort. You know you should probably be more alarmed by this, but in your current state all you can do is quietly note the phenomenon.
Another thing that you notice is that your bracelet hasn't changed, despite the recent "feeding". This is also something that should perhaps worry you.
Back on your feet again, you finally manage to regain some of your focus, though it's clear that something isn't quite right.
The library is quiet.
Suddenly there is a tingling sensation at the back of your head. You turn towards the distant end of the room - the rows of shelves seem almost never ending.

Walking down the dusty aisles you begin to experience a strange sensation, one that you have felt before. There is something wrong with the space around you. The lines of the aisles somehow bend in weird ways, straight paths loop back into themselves.
The further you go, the stronger the feeling becomes. The air is thick and still like glass. The bits of dust hang frozen in the distance, illuminated by rays of still light.
You follow the gut feeling, turning left and right. You reach a point where you make 4 consecutive right turns, which should have looped you around a shelf... but instead you come across a [[familiar desk]].

You pause, composing yourself. Your thoughts feel like noodles floating in a giant bowl. Then finally they straighten up a little. Last night, the loop, the bracelet. The missing Antique Boutique. Which isn't missing anymore - because you're somehow standing right inside of it. Inside the library.
You shake your head. It's probably better to take this one thing at a time.

Your only option is now the attic. You climb up and listen. The silence is even deeper.
$A[Perhaps in the tower?]
You head to the end of the hallway, then pause. You are forbidden to go in there. But the gate is unlocked.

There are several torches burning, which illuminate the room just enough.
$A[Odd choice, given that the electricity is running...]
As before, you notice the pipes and valves covering most of the east wall and going into the ceiling, as well as a handful of crates, a workbench and some tools hanging near it; more torches and cobwebs wobbling by the cold draft; and of course, there is the generator.
The $in[box] that you left there earlier is nowhere to be seen. Looking around however, you spot an arm sticking behind a pile of boxes.

$L['Hello, darling, you're a little late to the party,'] Lavius turns towards you with a sinister smile. $L['But don't worry, we'll take good care of you.']
On the side of the scene, you see a big, bestial figure, standing half-upright with an arm in its jaws. There is a big splatter of blood on the wall behind, and you catch the edge of a golden cane, sticking out of the mess.
$A[Mihai...] you gasp.
In the far end of the room, you catch a number of silhouettes lurking in the shadows, rugged familiar faces grinning back at you.
Your heart racing in your throat, you turn around to flee. The doorway is blocked by a tall, dark figure.

You interrupt your sentence, seeing the cold light in her eyes.

You've been left in plenty of perilous situations, so you don't feel all too reassured right now.
You circle the box cautiously. It looks pretty well sealed, but you finally manage to find a few clips and latches which hold the lid. After some work, it seems to be free.
You carefully lift the lid of the box. As you expected, it's filled with water.
You stand on guard, expecting something to jump or slither out... but nothing happens. You allow yourself to take a better look, peering directly on top of the surface. It's only water... as far as you can see. It feels like staring into the infinite depths of the sea.
You take a piece of meat you drop it into the box. It starts sinking, further and further down, until it slowly disappears from view.
You drop the rest of the meat and close the lid. It's an unsettling experience that your mind has some trouble dealing with.

You pause for a moment and scratch your head. Did you miss it? The narrow front of the shop was barely noticeable, but still. You make a 180 and head down the main street again, looking even more closely at the narrow spaces between buildings.

The figure looming above you steps back into the light, and you recognize tha man from the inn. Before you can say anything he leans in and forces a nail through your other wing, securing it in place.

Another shock comes, and you can sense that they're increasing the voltage. Your mind starts going blank. You are unable to think straight.
With the next zap, you start climbing towards an orgasm.

Alternatively... Your mind races. The corridor is pitch black. You could probably slip inside the room quickly enough, without Mihai noticing anything.

He grabs the top of your dress and rips it apart, yanking your whole body forward. Pieces of the gown fall down as your breasts are exposed to hang naked in the air.

He approaches you with two wires, ending with pincers. You know where this is going, and you don't like it.

The tingling increases, feeling like tiny needles sticking under your skin. There is some pain, but in your current state it only heightens your arousal.

The man's fingers plunge all the way inside your wet hole, stretching you open.

As your body finally stops shaking, you feel a sudden **cold** around your wrist.
Even without looking, you can tell that **your bracelet has lost one of it's $cri[crimson beads]!**
You aren't sure what just happened, but in an instant your pleasure turns into panic. You only have $bcharges left! If this continues, you will have none remaining, and then your life will truly be in the hands of these bastards.

His teeth sink into the side of your neck, puncturing your artery.
Your head spins.
He starts sucking. There is no pain.
The thrusts continue, filling your aching pussy over and over again. Your body twitches as you feel yourself grow weaker.
He fucks you harder and faster. Indiscernible screams escape your mouth.
The crescendo comes, one last final stroke that plunges into your depths and stays there, his seed spilling into your womb as his teeth drain the life out of your neck. You twitch again, your flower clenching tightly around him into one last, powerful orgasm, before everything fades into darkness.

$A[No one seems to be noticing anything wrong with me... and those memories that keep flashing... am I in another life? An alternative universe? A quantum leap to another dimension?]
You have so many questions and so few answers. You munch your food in the candle-lit penumbra of the dining hall, when the strange woman comes in and sits at Mihai's table. You lend an ear to their conversation, though you aren't able to hear much, and your mind is distracted with other matters:
$E2['My $ups[children] will....yes that's right....safe place...$rev[new host] very soon...']

You turn your head to the left and gasp, taking a few steps back. $Felicia is giving you an unreadable smile, her feline, green and golden eyes shooting through you like an arrow. She is, undeniably, not human. Her ears, her real ears, are on top of her head, like some perverted japanese fantasy, complemented by a long and fluffy tail that she wiggles behind her.
She is, however, not the definition of cute one would expect from an anthropomorphic feline. Your eyes are drawn to her facial features - cold, enigmatic and vicious, with a carnivorous smile filled with sharp fangs. Her fingers end with long, curved claws that she moves with an agile elegance which leaves no doubt she could rend you to pieces in seconds, if she wanted to.
$M['What, did you swallow your tongue, girl?']
$a['I- uh- you're really a cat..']
$M['And you're really slow, even for a human.'] She leaps to the other side of the counter again, landing perfectly without getting tangled in any of the merchandise despite the tight space.
$M['Go on then. Enjoy the truth.']
Something in the way she looks at you gives you a cold chill.

You moan softly, growing wetter at her touch. The black woman has an intoxicating presence, pushing all of the right buttons and drawing you into a web of submission...

You are in a most peculiar situation. Few people get to recall their demise. The images pop in your head...
Your limp body being dragged down the dark hallway... razor sharp legs spinning silky dreams... the tightness, the constriction, and the horror that followed...
You feel a droplet of cold sweat run down your spine. The experience is still fresh in your mind. It was somehow more traumatic than usual, the nightmarish appearance of the spider etched deep into your mind. You thankfully lost consciousness early enough not to feel whatever the creature did to your body, but the thought of it is enough to make your heart race.
You take a deep breath and...

Sane people would surely look away in terror from the sight of such atrocities. But the image haunts you. Like a fawn in front of the headlights, you can't help but stare transfixed.
(if: $lastdeath is "spider")[One image that pops vividly in your mind is the spider's body - big, bloated and black, pressing firmly on your back.
You remember that it pushed - oh dear god - it pushed *something* round and slimy inside of you. You remember the mounting pressure in your belly, the uncomfortable bulges...
You shudder with revulsion, and yet a warm wet spot has quietly formed on your panties. ]

It was first built by my fa-, I mean great-great-great-grandfather Vasil Petrescu, when our family first moved to these lands.

Lavius' room is exactly how you remember it. There is a satin king-sized bed with red drapes and a massive frame, a desk with a chair and a handful of bookshelves.

Now that you think about it, by all logic of the layout of the hotel, there should be a door there. But all there is is an empty wall... and a shield hanging on top of it.
The shield is a large ornamental one, probably never made for real battle. You can see intricate scenes hammered into the surface, with warriors and creatures engaged in eternal fight.
The apparition raises a hand, pointing to a part of the ornamentation. Then it hovers forwards, disappearing through the wall.

There is a small desk with a chair, surrounded by multiple chests on the ground. The walls are lined will shelves that are stacked with old parchments.
Continuing your investigation, you manage to distinguish a few things:
Right in front of the desk, there is a $in[pile of parchments that have some sort of sketches] on them, which are either maps, blueprints or something of the sort.
On a small shelf to the right there is a $in[stack of letters]. You can notice that they were sealed with wax seals, which are now broken.
In a shelf to the left you can see a $in[giant tome with ornate covers]. The thing is almost as large as the desk itself and looks incredibly rare and expensive.

While some parts of the building match the current appearance, you can see more floors than there currently are, as well as what appear to be tunnels going underground.

You sit on the desk and start going through the cabinets and drawers, taking out anything of interest. Soon you are looking at a pile of parchments, a handful of letters in envelopes and what appears to be a sketchbook.
As you flip through the stack, a sketch catches your eye - it has a pentagram and a number of runes around it. Just below, there are several notes:
$sys[Summoning steps:
1. Draw the pentagram to scale.
2. Light the candles.
3. Recite the incantation.]
You flip through the rest but don't find anything else that you can understand.
(display:"goto")[[Continue->Go to Lavius' room]]<div id="center">$lav</div>
A handful of titles from the shelves catch your eye, so you grab one of them and take a moment to flip through the pages.
The tome is dedicated to (either:"protection spells","the history of arcane symbols","rune magic") and you quickly get lost in the intricate diagrams and explanations.
After a good moment of reading, you finally put the book down. (if: (history:) contains "spell occult")[There isn't anything that is directly related to the girl in the other room and the symbols around her, it was probably worth the read anyways.]
Taking a moment to consider some of the assertions in the book, you are left perplexed.

You have delved deep enough into the mystic arts to handle something like this. To safely cancel a summoning, you need to perform the original ritual in reverse, but contain it within a septagram to avoid any complications.
You take the chalk and draw a large septagram as best as you can. $A[Fire is fueling this, so next are the candles!]
You start blowing out the candles one by one. Their flames flicker angrily, each one harder to stifle out then the previous one.
The last candle fights back viciously, it's flame raising up again and again despite your attempts to blow it out. Finally you spit on your fingers and pinch the wick, suffocating the flame for good.
$A[That should do it!]
The candles are now all out and you can notice a change in the behaviour of the tendrils. They seem a little more erratic and twitchy, compared to their smooth and elegant pace before. The only thing left is to break the pentagram.
You step on the edge of the pentagram and start smudging the circle with your shoe.
You see the tendrils begin to flail in the air, slowly retracting back into the floor. The symbols on the floor flair up for a few seconds, then the world returns to normal. The distant whispering is gone. The spell has been broken.

Two radiant, violet eyes slowly blink at you.

The girl is looking at you with a calm curiosity that surprises you for someone that has just been rescued from infernal torture.
You dodge her gaze and your eyes fall naturally on her breasts. Big, round and full, they are the most perfect breasts you have ever seen. Her pierced nipples look like the crystallization of every man's fantasies.

$A[I shouldn't be doing this, this is wrong...]
The guilt is intense, but you can't stop. A big, black tentacle wraps around the girl's torso and neck, squeezing and suffocating her. Her screams are interrupted by gasps for air, all the while her hips continue to be violated by the otherworldly tendrils.
The candles are burning bright and your own breath is quickening with the pace of your fingers. The tentacle around her throat contracts and you feel the flailing of her body, all while another thick and slimy one is pushing its way into her ass.
You close your eyes for a second, your fingers rubbing faster and faster. A powerful orgasm washes over you, making your entire body shake and shiver. When you finally open your eyes again, the girl's limp body has stopped all resistance, hanging like a lifless doll from the ceiling while the tentacles continue to ravage her.

She draws a complex symbol on the floor, lights the candles and starts to chant some sort of incantation. The candlelight flickers on her lusty curves in tune with the vibrations of her voice, which becomes hollow and other worldly.
The hairs on the back of your neck begin to stand up and you are gripped with a terrible premonition.
The room suddenly grows darker, as if light itself runs to hide. The candles flicker. Sabrina's voice us an unrecognizable cacophony of unfathomable sounds. You know that something bad is going to happen.
$A['What's going on?! This was a mistake!']
You try to run, but your body is frozen in place. The sense of impending doom grows stronger, the symbols on the floor glow and burn away the fabric of reality, opening a blackness that your eyes simply can't pierce, like nothingness itself.
A creature leaps through the portal. Your breath cuts short as the skull stares at you, the empty sockets emanating a ghoulish red glow. It has the body of a massive canine, with black fur and a short, skeletal tail.

You stare death in its growing red sockets and slowly spread your legs apart, leaning back so your head and arms are as far away as possible.
The growl quiets down and the giant black dog accepts your invitation, thrusting its skeletal head in your crotch.
You wince back, the sense of impending doom still strong. Strangely enough there is some kind of breath coming from its nose. The bony jaws open and a black, slimy tongue gives you a lick.

Gwyllgi feels different than the werewolf(if: $howl is 1)[ or the wolves in the forest]. You can't quite put it into words, but instead of the raw bestial passion, there is a cold intelligence, almost a sort of arrogance in his movements.
$A[It's like I'm no longer in control,] $G[just a little bitch looking for an excuse to get knotted.]

Sabrina comes over in front of you, bending to pat you on the head.

$S['Nothing like that. It's a beast, and in fact quite simple minded. But being an Omen of Death has its consequences, and while he's currently too occupied to be foretelling your doom, his presence can still bring out... certain thoughts.']

Her playful threat makes you shiver in anticipation, but you don't have the willpower not to obey her. You give your best to pleasure her, following the directions of her hand on the back of your head.

You feel something swell up inside of you, lodging in place. As the beast begins to spurt inside of you, you feel a strange comfort that your face is hidden. For some reason being used by the beast is driving you crazy and you don't want the world to see you like that.

You'd like to hurry things up, so you give Ionut a hand with the shoveling. The wet soil is easy enough to work with and soon you have a hole that is almost a few feet deep.
Satisfied with the result, Ionut puts his shovel aside and produces what looks like a fishing string with a hook on the end. He then takes a severed finger out of his pocket, forces it on the hook and lowers the hook into the hole.
You rub your eyes. The scene feels surreal.
After a few seconds there is a slimy, slithering noise coming from the hole and you see the string vibrating. Ionut pulls it out, along with a black wiggling mass wrapped around the end.
$Io['Pass the bucket,'] he asks, gesturing to an old rusty bucket that you're just noticing.

Up close you can see that the worms are long and thick, with pitch-black slimy bodies.

You swing the string towards the bucket, but your movement is too abrupt and a few worms fall off, splashing directly in your cleavage.
$a['Eeek!']
You shriek and try to shake them off, but they wiggle down between your breasts and under your clothes.
You feel an adrenaline rush with a mixture of revulsion and morbid curiosity. There's no way to pull them out one by one, you'd need to remove your $suit for that. The only question is whether to do it right now in the rain and front of Ionut, or wait until you're back at the hotel...

You lean over it. There are a few lengthy paragraphs of tight handwriting, with the signatures at the end. The strange, squiggly characters are not in any language that you can recognize.

Perhaps the memory of your own demise is still fresh in your mind, or perhaps some long-hidden sadism is awakening in your heart, but the scene feels you with twisted arousal, your pussy growing wet and needy from the girl's agony.
You watch with morbid curiosity, taking in every detail of the otherworldly spectacle.
Suddenly the girl pulls violently on her chains, shattering them apart. Her voice raises over the eerie noise of the summoning, shouting in a strange language:

Luckily, you are capable to cancecel the spell. To safely interrupt a summoning, you need to perform the original ritual in reverse, but contain it within a septagram to avoid any complications.
You take the chalk and draw a large septagram as best as you can. You erase the symbols that you've added, causing the tentacles to calm down. $A[Now, for the candles...]
You start blowing out the candles one by one. Their flames flicker angrily, each one harder to stifle out then the previous one.
The last candle fights back viciously, it's flame raising up again and again despite your attempts to blow it out. Finally you spit on your fingers and pinch the wick, suffocating the flame for good.
$A[That should do it!]
The candles are now all out and the tendrils become slow and sluggish, releasing the woman from their grip. The only thing left is to break the pentagram.
You step on the edge of the pentagram and start smudging the circle with your shoe.
You see the tendrils begin to flail in the air, slowly retracting back into the floor. The symbols on the floor flair up for a few seconds, then the world returns to normal. The distant whispering is gone. The spell has been broken.

The two of you followthe path around the manor as the sky darkens to dusk. Ionut quickens the pace, heading towards the far end of the garden.

$Io['Now ve ig a little hole.']
Ionut pushes his shovel into the mud, excavating a sizable chunk of soil. You watch him work, fascinated by the process. You didn't notice this last time, but there is something deeply ominous about the whole scene.
The wind is howling among the ancient pines in the distance, the ridges of the mountain growing darker by the minute. You can swear that the earth beneath is pulsing, awoken by every scoop of the shovel.
$a['Are these worms everywhere, Ionut?'] you ask mesmerized.
$Io['Vat? No, only in cemetery. They come from ze crypt.'] He points a finger to a decrepit stone mass in the distance. $Io['But don't go in ze crypt. The vurms too big. Here vurms small - good for catch.']

$Io['Vould you like to try?'] asks the servant, dropping the gruesome catch into the metal bucket. You take over from him, pinning another severed finger on the hook before proceeding to a dangle the string down into the hole.
$A[How did I end up doing this...]
Small scarce raindrops continue to soak the cemetery grounds as you fish one wriggling mass after another from the desecrated ground. The slimy creatures are pitch black and almost an elbow long, threatening to make their way out of the iron bucket if it wasn't for the lures keeping them occupied.

You turn around and head down the stony path among the graves. There is something pulling you, an invisible *longing* that beckons you further and further towards the ruins of the crypt.
As you walk the path you have the strange feeling that something is mirroring your movements, something underground sliding along with you. You feel its presence at the back of your mind, innately understood through senses that you can't describe nor comprehend.
Finally, the crypt is upon you. It's entrance open like a stone maw, there is no door nor lock to stop you. Just a gaping mouth and stairs down into the darkness.

The rain falls on your skin and slides down your $breasts. The cemetery air feels cool but somehow stale and moldy, with a subtle scent of decay that is now somehow even stronger.
Ionut picks up the bucket full of worms and the two of you [[head back->ionut worms return]].

With a morbid delight, you give in to the dark impulse and slowly yet deliberately begin your descent.
The stone staircase is winding down in big, slow turns. You can't quite decide if it's a straight spiral downwards, or it's leading you off somewhere else.
Surprisingly enough, there are torches on the walls here and there, though they do little more than punctuate the growing darkness. The steps are littered with pebbles and soil, as well as the occasional piece of bone.
$A[Did someone drag this down from the cemetery...?]
With every step, you can feel a strange tension rising. The air feels thick and heavy, every breath filling you with the taste of damp soil... and something else. You begin to feel $A[dizzy] and slightly disoriented.

And yet, you can't bring yourself to step away. The call is there, pulling you down into the darkness. $G[You want this...]
You try to resist again. You can leave. Just take one step..
Suddenly you feel something cold and slimy touch your foot.
You stand frozen, holding your breath. Your heart is pounding like crazy. The slimy thing coils up your leg like a snake, methodically exploring the new territory. Soon it reaches your loins and you feel the tip burrow between your legs, following your dripping juices.
For a moment, the creature stops. You take a deep breath, filling your lungs with the cool mountain air. Then the worm contracts with colossal strength, pulling you [[down into the soft soil drunk<-down into the darkness]].

You can taste the earth on your tongue. You can hear the soil shifting as the creatures tunnel through it. You can smell them too - an intense, saturated smell of death and decay.

You pull yourself up through the trap door and emerge into the space above.
It's a room with a wooden floor and old furniture, all covered in a thick layer of dust. Grey light barely sips through the stained windows. You can see a handful of hunting trophies hung above a cozy looking fireplace.
$A['It's the hunting cabin!']
When you think about it, it all makes sense. Lavius' lair was hidden underneath, so naturally there would be some way to connect the two.
Curious, you head to the front door. It's locked just as you remember, but something draws your attention. The key is hanging from a nail just beside the small window.
$A['It's odd that they would leave it just in arm's reach, but then again it's not visible from the outside...']
You give the window a little push and it creaks open just enough for a hand to slide in.
$A['Well this is convenient!']
You take the key and unlock the door, leaving it on the nail again. In the future you'll be able to come and go from the outside, now that you know how to reach for the key.

You seem to have pacified Elise, at least for now.
$E['Thank you for your thoughts, demon girl. Now I understand why you were able to see me. But perhaps it would be better for everyone if I made a few changes.']
Your vision tilts and a familiar silvery fog washes over your mind. You blink fast, trying to shake off the wave of confusion. Suddenly, a female silhouette is standing in front of you, her green spectacles reflecting a light that doesn't exist.

You approach the large window door - it leads on to a balcony. The full moon basks the manor and surrounding forest in a shower of silver rays and the black dead branches creak in the gusts of wind.

$A[I can't believe I'm actually doing this...]
Under the rising moon you stand on your knees, pleasuring a creature that changes with every minute before your eyes, straying farther and farther from human. You feel the texture morph in your mouth as the member grows and becomes more bestial. It is something that you really shouldn't be doing, but that thought only drives further the fire in your belly.
A powerful hand lifts up the top of your $suit, nudging you over the line of caution and reason. You pause for a moment and quickly disrobe, indulging into the absurdity of it all. It's liberating and exhilarating. Naked under the moonlight, guided only by desire.
The creature emits a piercing howl into the night, though you are uncertain if it's a cry of pleasure or a call from its bestial side. A shiver of excitement washes over you and you place a hand on its leg, feeling the tensing muscles and the thickening fur.
Suddenly another howl answers the call, somewhere close and just behind. A shadow leaps out from the trees and the wolf jumps on top of you, mouth open and drooling with excitement.

You lower your back in an arch and move your legs apart, allowing the wolf to slip easily inside you.
$A[Aaah...]
There is a feeling of stretching, followed by fullness as he makes his way inside all the way. The front paws of the beast lock over your hips, holding you tightly in place as it begins to pound.
Noticing your distracted moans, the werewolf grabs a fistful of your hair and pulls your face back towards him, demanding attention. You can see that he's twitching with excitement and ready to burst.
As if under a spell, you lean in and wrap your $lips around the tip, gently kissing it. It feels ready to burst. In a moment of pure lust and insanity, you reach and grab his balls with your hand, squeezing them gently.
The werewolf growls in pleasure and suddenly bursts, overflowing your mouth with sticky white semen that begins to drip down your chin and onto your naked breasts.
As the wolf's pace accelerates from behind you begin to moan again, smaller squirts splashing over your face. Then the wolf locks in place and you feel him empty his load inside of you.

You are still close to the creek that flows by the side of the road, so you decide to take a quick dip in the cool waters. It's not deep enough to swim, but you can submerge your arms and legs and splash water over your breasts, cleansing most of the fluids.
After a quick air-drying you put your $suit back on, feeling lucky that it's still a summer night. With the clock ticking, you make haste back to the hotel.

You can hear distant whispering, coming from beyond dreams and reason. Your flesh becomes hotter still and suddenly you realize that you are past the point of no return.
Pleasure overwhelms you and you come into a climax, shaking into an orgasm as two powerful wings sprout from your back, along with a tail from the base of your spine.
$A[Aaah....]
Your sense of control is slipping. You are now a succubus - it is a fact that you know and understand innately. Your body has changed, but so has your mind. You feel your former logic and reason muffled, pushed down by the necessities of lust and desire.
$R[You must feed. You must be used.]
You are alone in the darkness, your naked body longing to be touched. The desire is so strong it's physically painful. Your thoughts are being railroaded, every memory, every feeling, every fragment of your being pulled towards a singular purpose.

You spread your legs obediently, waiting to fulfil your purpose. A succubus needs sustenance. Choice is no longer a matter.
The first one gets a hold of your hips and begins to pound you quick and fast, his movements as frenzied as the burning thoughts in your head. As you feel the semen burst inside of you there is an immediate feeling of bliss and satisfaction that leaves your eyes rolling while you moan in ecstasy.
As the next one comes you let your head rest on the floor, the red glow of the pentagram filling your vision as your body is taken over and over by whoever pleases.

As you sleep, shameless moans escape your lips. Like frozen cherries, they are sweet and red and so ripe and ready for every kiss you dream of. Your breasts, soft and pale, with hard nipples waiting to be pinched and bitten.
You dream of demons and chains, of being taken by monsters and men as your hands clench the sheets of your bed. In your visions you are a succubus, cursed to be forever a slave of your carnal desires.

You make a step forward into the light of the full moon, letting the glow reflect off of your naked skin.
Up close, the wolf-man is much larger than you, his body continuing to morph and grow under your gaze. He pushes you down on the grass and leaps on top, his weight pressing you down in place as his immense member slides inside of you, stretching your body to its limit.
$W['Aaaarghoooooooouulll!!']
His cry turns into a howl, piercing the night. As he loses his last features of humanity, his movements become even more primal and uninhibited, his powerful muscles treating your body as a rag doll.
Suddenly his jaws sink into your left arm and bite it clean off, devouring the whole of it with a few fast crunching sounds. There is no pain, only surprise and some weird mesmerism of the situation. As he bites into your second arm you feel as if time goes in slow motion, the crimson droplets of blood hanging in the air before falling on your naked back.
Taken by hunger, the beast snaps your legs as well, one after the other, like a tiny snack in his gargantuan belly. You are left lying with 4 stumps, with nowhere to go and nothing to do. Returning to its sexual appetites, the creature humps your now quadriplegic body, relieving the rest of its desires and leaving you to lie in a pool of blood and semen, white and crimson shining equally bright under the full moon.

You obey that order as well, letting yourself slip into the comfy routine of following instructions. A light purple haze begins clouding your mind. You look up to the black creature and she looks down, ~~8~~2 black eyes with a green metallic sheen, staring at you with a mix of lust and entertainment.
$E['Tsk, that will do, girl.'] She grabs you by the hair, pulling your face up to hers. $E['It's true that there's nothing as fun as a succubus in heat, tsk. You're lucky that I like you, girl. I will nourish your hunger and not use you for... other, purposes. Tsk.'] She runs a long black finger up your throat, lifting your chin up.
$a['Thank you...']
She smiles at you and throws you on the bed, your body sinking into the silky whiteness. $E['Open wide now, girl!']

As you linger at the reception, you hear the sound of approaching footsteps, followed by guests arriving from different directions. Everyone seems to be gathering at the front, waiting for something.
You stand behind the reception desk, tapping your fingers on the dusty wooden surface. You have a pretty good idea where this is going, but there isn't anything much you can do right now.
Brief chatter fills the air as Elise, Lavius, Ionut and the werewolf exchange pleasantries, growls and grins at one another.

You hang behind the desk, dodging the occasional side glances from the guests. With every passing minute you feel a sense of urgency to act, yet you don't know what you could possibly do. The course of events seems set, at least for now.
A few more minutes pass and you hear the familiar tapping of a golden cane, heralding the arrival of Mihai. He walks slowly down the stairs, dressed as impeccably as ever, his gaze taking in his guests one by one.
<img src="images/tr/characters/mihai2.png" width="450" align="right" class="char">
$Mi['I see that you've all gathered - good. I trust that you've had a pleasant stay and spent the day catching up to old friends. And I promise, there will be more time for that tomorrow - you are all my guests to stay. But now there are more pressing matters, matters you are all already familiar with. Shall we proceed?']
With a wave of smiles and nods, the guests make way for Mihai, who crosses the reception area and heads towards the front door. He pauses for a moment, then turns towards you:
$Mi['You should come too, demon. You can stay with Ionut until we are done. I'm sure he'll appreciate the company.']
With this, Mihai leaves and the guests follow him one by one. At last, the servant pauses at the door, gesturing you to follow him.
(set: _ti to 10)
(display:"goto")[[Go outside->follow Ionut]]<div id="center">$gar</div>
You emerge into the cool evening air, walking side by side with Ionut several paces behind the rest.
The sun has just set behind the mountain ridges and the garden is swimming into the quiet dusk. As the group walks down the path through the garden, you realise that you can see surprisingly well in the dark.
The silhouettes of your companions create an eerie, surreal feeling to the scene: Ionut, limping forward with that odd walk of his, giving away the unnatural angles and shapes of his limbs; Mihai and Lavius, both leading the way with a soft and elegant step that, now that you look a little closer, appears to be barely leaving a mark on the dry grass of the garden; then there is the other pair - the spider and the wolf - moving silently some distance from another, their proportions hinting to their true, inhuman nature.
$A[I guess I'm the only human here-] you think for a second, before realization hits you. $A[Oh.]
A soft breeze blows through the pine trees, releasing their rich scent. It reminds you of your first walk up the stream when you arrived. $A[So much has changed since then, it seems. Alexandra, what did you get yourself into?']
The short walk is over as Mihai arrives at the entrance to the basement and ushers the guests down the stairs.
$Mi['Ionut, please make sure we are not disturbed until the meeting is over. The young succubus can stay with you.']
$Io['Very vell, Mr. Petrescu.'] The servant nods to Mihai and grabs a nearby shovel, taking a stance. After a few moments he scratches his bald head and turns towards you. $Io['Ve could sit in the basement, if you wish. Or ve could stay outside.'](if: $elder_arrival is 1)[

It's hard to tell. You found Ionut's cold body on the outside, and a bloodbath in the room in the basement. It's clear that you are missing pieces of the puzzle.
Minutes pass and nothing much seems to happen. Dusk turns into night and Ionut rolls a cigar, taking slow puffs in the stillness of the mountain. Somewhere in the forest an owl hoots.

Ionut nods and heads to the basement, holding the door for you before following in himself.
There are a handful of torches illuminating the stone-tiled room. You notice that the box in the center is no longer there - Mihai and the guests must have taken it with them to the basement. For the moment, it is quiet and peacful - the only sound being the crackling of the torches. Then you remember what is to come - blood and violence, fangs and claws. $A[What happened last time?

Elise waves with her long, thin arm and suddenly the pressure in your head decreases, as if a veil is partially lifted from your eyes. Your vision becomes clearer and as your eyes finally manage to focus on the object in the corner, you see that it is a giant human-sized cocoon.
$E['Surprised, dear? You shouldn't be. After all, it was you who warned me about her. Tsk tsk. Would you like to come and have a closer look?']

You sit down next to Ionut, deciding to wait and see how things will go. It doesn't look like you have anything much to do. He passes you the cigar and you take a deep puff of it, blowing a little cloud of smoke into the night.

Ionut swings the shovel at the leader, but he dodges swiftly to the side, punching the servant in the chest with his metal contraption.

Then the servant collapses on the ground, the smell of burnt flesh filling the air.

Elise plunges a finger at the top of the cocoon and runs it all the way down, slicing the strings of web along the way. Felicia's body slides down at your feet, naked and covered in bits of silk.

Memories flood your head, the embers of lust flaring in your own belly flaring up into a firestorm. You reach a hand between your legs, touching your moist entrance. You feel guilty, but it's hard to help yourself. $A[Why is watching her so damn terribly exciting...?]]
As you keep watching, you see Felicia's body begin to tense up. She groans with pain, then suddenly relaxes, a soft moan escpaing her lips. In her belly, you can see a small bump that has just appeared under the skin.
The cat woman mumbles something, lost in her nightmare.

You take Felicia's hand and gently squeeze it, caressing her hair at the same time. Her breathing calms down a little and her expression relaxes.
$a['There, there, it's all going to be alright..'] you whisper in hear ear.
She leans forward and nuzzles her face in your chest, as if looking for a safe place. You can feel tension begin to build again, followed by another relaxation and moan as a new egg slides inside of her.
$A[Why-why am I doing this to her...?!]
A flash of guilt cuts through your mind like a hot iron, but it's too late to do anything about it now. What's done is done.
Felicia lifts her head up and lazily opens her eyes,smiling at you. It's clear that she is very much out of it and struggling to focus.
$M['Ah, my favorite human...']
Her hands meekly wrap around you in a hug and your guilt melts away, replaced by the warmth of her body. Your hands find their way onto her naked curves, exploring freely for the first time every inch of her.
You are overwhelmed by a sudden desire to be naked, to have your skin touch her skin. A small voice in your head is warning you that this can be a dangerous path to take, but the temptation is strong.

Leaning in, you grab Felicia's face with both hands and kiss her. Her lips have a rich sweetness with a hint of something bitter, like dark chocolate. Even in her unconscious state, she kisses you back and you sink into each other's embrace.
Your hand moves down from her face to her soft breasts. They are firm but full, somehow exactly as you had imagined them.

You can't take it any more. The desire is too strong, the moment - too perfect. You quickly slip out of your $suit, throwing it on the floor.
Finally, after all this time, your naked body presses against hers. You realize that you have always been waiting for this moment. Your $breasts against her soft breasts, your $hips rubbing against her small ones.
$A[Damn, I can't get enough of this!!]
You slide a hand down, feeling her chest, then her tummy. There are several bumps there now, growing with each egg that the spider pushes inside of her.
Felicia presses firmly against you, as if to let you feel them even better. As her belly expands and her moans grow louder, you begin to feel a hint of jealousy, wanting to partake in the pleasure.
$A[No, I must resist...]
As the thought comes, the cat woman spreads her legs apart, allowing you to see the the thick tube plunged inside of her. Your gaze is instantly pinned to the view, completely mesmerized. You can see the line of round bulges inside the tube, lined up and ready, slowly moving forward... Worse still, you can see her $A[pleasure], you can feel it with each one slipping inside. Her wet juices are running down the tube, making the process easier by the minute.
$M[It's okay...] she whispers to you.
She clearly doesn't fully comprehend the situation. She can't comprehend it. Her eyes sparkle with the glint of lust and insanity. But none of that matters, because you can't resist. You know what you want.

You let your fingers run down her bulging tummy and between her thighs, halting just short of the dark tube thrusting in and out of her. You creep forward cautiously, just at the edge of her folds, looking for the right spot.
As soon as you find it her body tenses up, shaken by a tremor of pleasure.
$M['Yes, yes!']
She grabs you and kisses you passionately, streams of saliva dripping down between your breasts and her breasts. Your fingers accelerate, moving up and down with the rhythm of the eggs being pushed inside of her. As she gazes at you, wide eyed and drooling, you know with certainty that she's too far gone to be brought back. $A[But now's not the time to think about that...]
$M['Aaah! Keep going, keep going...!']
Felicia's body begins to shake and with a last few caresses of her flower you push her over the edge. Her eyes roll up as she shakes into an intense orgasm, holding you close against her. Her skin is burning hot and her hair is all around you, mixed with drops of sweat and drool.
The tube retracts from her folds and the cat woman rolls on her back, pulling you on top of her. You stare into her blissful expression, your $breasts weighing down against hers. You can feel the big bulge of her tummy right underneath you, and a strange sense of pride from it.
$a['You are so beautiful...'] you mumble.

It feels natural, even inevitable. With those soft lips waiting for yours, the action is no longer a choice of reason but an imperative of your primal desires.
Your own body is aching for attention, jealous of the filled up cat woman and the purity of her pleasure. As you continue making out with her, her hands reach around and spread your legs apart, your ass alerady propped up on her round belly.
You don't even resist as the tube slides inside of you, pushing deep to the entrance of your womb. You realize now that you were expecting it, it was the natural, inevitable conclusion of everything.
The egg presses against your folds and you stretch to acommodate it, feeling it slide all the way inside, nesting into your womb. You continue kissing Felicia as your own belly begins to grow and stretch on top of hers. Every bulge pushes you deeper into the realm of unfathomable, indescribably pleasure and insanity. Time loses its meaning and your bodies intertwine, naked and vulnerable. Eventually, all that remains in your mind is you, her, and [[the madness->the maddness]].

Your mistress lays a hand on your head, filling you with joy. You must have been very good to deserve this affection. You turn around and give her a lust-filled look.
Your round belly feels very heavy, but this only makes you happy. You don't know why exactly, but it is the best thing you could have ever wished for. It is what your mistress wants for you, and that is all that matters.

Looking beyond the gate you can see vast cemetery grounds, stretching into the distance.
The ground on the other side looks rough and barren, with nothing but dry, skeletal trees that extend their long-dead branches towards each other like the fingers of long-dead lovers. Between them you can see numerous grey tombstones, as well as broken statues, covered in lichen.
$A[Woah, this place must be really old... I wonder if those are all people from the local village? Seems too big to be just a family cemetery.]
What really draws your eyes however is a hill in the distance, rising above the field of graves. There is a small building on top of it, perhaps a chapel, or a tomb.
The small path seems to be winding towards it, but the gate is blocking your way. Perhaps you can ask Mihai for a key later, should you be inclined to take a stroll here, and should he be inclined to allow it.

[Approaching the old tree, you are suddenly attentive to the light breeze blowing through its dead branches. They seem to be moving, sometimes with, sometimes against it... or is it just your imagination?
$A[Dammit Alex, you've seen *real* monsters already - now scared of a tree?]
Pushing past your irrational fears, you sit down next to the tree, leaning your back at the old, dried out bark. It is actually surprisingly comfortable.
You take a moment to stare at the sky - it's grey-blue, with a handful of clouds sliced by the sharp mountain peaks far above. It's actually a very pleasant view.
As you continue to relax and look at the sky, from the corner of your eye you see a hand extending over your left shoulder, its fist tightly clenched in a fist. Your breathing slows down and the seconds stretch into infinity. It's as if your spine is glued to the tree, all of your muscles completely unresponsive.
Suddenly the hand opens, letting something fall down to the ground. You can see pale skin, long fingernails, and a black tattoo of a circle with arrows just below the wrist.
Then you blink, and the hand is gone.

Finally, you reach a decision.

He lifts an eyebrow, taking the cigarette out of his crooked jaw. $Io['At zis time? Vere vill you go?']

Sabrina leads you to the circle where you originally found her, making you stand beneath the metal hook, from which the chains are still hanging.

Sabrina heads somewhere behind you, probably to the end of the room, as you can hear her opening the large trunk and moving things inside of it.
You do your best to keep your eyes on the rune on the wall, despite your curiosity to turn around and see what she's doing. The strange symbol seems to to glow dimly, but it could be just your eyes getting tired.
After a while, Sabrina returns, standing right behind you. Although you can't see her, you feel her fingers running down your spine, making the hairs of your skin sand on edge.
$S['Now, sis... I want you to relax.']
Suddenly you feel a weight on your shoulder and a hundred pointy needles crawling across your skin.
$a['Wh-what is THAT?!']

The thing moves to your back and up to the other shoulder, sending chills down your spine. It feels almost like a giant centipede is crawling on your skin, but you can also fel something cold and slimy...
Gripped by terror, you feel the creature peak its head over your shoulder. You are frozen in fear, your heart racing a million miles an hour. Sabrina told you to keep your eyes on the rune at all times, but you just **have to** know..

Ever so slowly, you turn your head to the left, coming face to face with the monstrocity on your shoulder.
It is one of the moust hideous things you've ever seen. A bizarre mix between an arthropode and a mollusc, the creature has a face like a shrimp, with lots of thin apendages sticking around it. It's body is covered in a partial shell from the bottom, where lots of skeletal legs move it around. But on the top side you can see an area of exposed, slug-like, glistening skin, from which a handful of fleshy antennas with bulbous ends are dangling.
Frozen in shock and fear, you can't even open your mouth to scream.
$S['Bad girl!']
Sabrina slaps you across the face, snapping you out of the stupor. You blink fast and the creature is gone, retracting down your back.

A warm wave of pleasure washes over you and you relax a little more, surrendering to her motions. The embers of desire begin to glow hot in your tummy and before long you find yourself eagerly pushing back against her and twisting your pelvis back and forth with the vampire's teasing strokes.

The crawling abomination slips further down, the antennae on its head curiously investigating the outer edges of your folds.
Its presence creates a strange mixture of dread and excitement as you feel the numerous appendages crawling on your skin. You wonder about the things it could do to you, threats and promises of unspeakable sensations from slimy, other-worldly caresses.
The creature moves forward again, now its entire body hanging underneath in the space between your legs, from back to front. The last legs and its tail are hanging just at your lower back, and its head is starting to poke out under your tummy.

You shrug and decide to give the ghost a hand with her problem.
Using an old rusty shovel you spot in the nearby bushes, you start digging the soil and piling it on a little black heap to the side.
After half an hour of hard work, the hole is finally starting to reach a depth of a few feet. You feel like you're almost there...
At last, you start hitting something other than soil and the outlines of a skeleton slowly emerge under your excavating efforts.
$A[How did I end up digging up bones...]
While you haven't removed all of the soil, you can already see that there is more than just bones in there. With a resounding *clang!*, your shovel hits something metal. The skeleton has been wrapped up in chains from head to toe.
You step back and scratch your head. $A[Why would they do something like this...]

You find yourself instinctively obeying her before having the time to really think it through. You lift the necklace up and bring the piece of bone to it, pressing against the wooden surface. The dark runes begin to pulse and wiggle as the wood opens up and swallows the bone inside of it.

As it penetrates deeper still, your eyes begin to roll back and you start climaxing, over and over again.

She looks old, though you can't quite put a number on her age. There's an odd glint in her eyes, buried into her pale, wrinkled skin. She's wearing a simple linen tunic, though her hair is adorned with feathers and odd bits which you can't quite identify.

The two of you walk in silence, reaching the end of the village and the familiar $in[hunting cabin]. You can see a small trail continuing beyond, into the old pine forest.
$Y['It's not very far dear, just o'er the hill there,'] she says, pointing her cane down the trail. You nod and continue walking after her, leaving the hunting cabin behind.
The path winds between the old pine trees, barely distinguishable from the rest of the forest. After a few more minutes of walking, it comes out at a clearing, where you see a small wooden house. There's a fence around a modest garden, where a handful of chickens are pecking at the dirt. You can also see an old barn and a few stacks of hay left to dry in the sun.

The house of the old woman seems like a relic from the olden times, much like many other things from the village.

On the walls of the hut, you can see a collection of jars with grain and herbs, and other things too, that you can't quite make out through the dust and cobwebs.
$Y['Would you like a cup of tea, dear?']
Not waiting for your answer, the old woman puts a kettle on the stove, throwing in a pinch of this and that from various jars. A peculiar smell fills the room as you wait for the water to boil.
When the brew's done the gran pours you a cup, sliding it in front of you. The hot steam rises up, tempting your nostrils with its strange aroma.
The gran sits on the opposite end of the table, resting her head on the wall. She seems oddly tired all of a sudden. It seems like you have a moment until the tea is cooling down.

$A[Something... doesn't feel quite... right...]
You stumble to the side, the world starting to spin. Your body feels hot and somehow **heavy**, heavier than it's ever been. You pant heavily, starting to sweat.
$A[Can't... breathe...]
The grass feels cool and soft under your palms. It's so green, so fresh, so *juicy*. You are walking down on all fours through the yard. Why are you here? Where are you going?

$Y['There, there, it's okay girl. Nothing to worry about.']
A caring hand guides you forward into the barn, leading you towards a wooden stand. With every step you feel your hips become thicker and larger. The base of your spine extends from your back as a short, fluffy tail begins to dangle between your legs.

The woman continues to mutter to herself as her fingers work, squeezing stream after stream from your tits down into the bucket. The pace of her motions is rhythmic and somehow soothing. The rough, wrinkled skin of her bony fingers is like a perfect fit for the soft tenderness of your breasts.
The sensation is not pleasant, but you feel compelled to stay and endure it. After all, what else could you do?

$Y['Ah, Ruxandra. She- it must 'ave been 20 years now. Never heeded my words, that young one.']

There is a strange relief in the process, a deep-rooted need being fulfilled. It's natural, irresitable, *inevitable*.
As your breasts swell with milk to the brim, ready to burst, so must someone do the milking, squeeze them hard and relieve you of this growing burden.
Every repetition of the motion solidifies your complacency. How could you ever think to run away or protest? You $A[need] this. In many ways, the old woman is taking $A[care] of you by doing you this service.

With the corner of your eye you see the old woman grab a wooden cup and dip it into the bucket, then bring it to her lips. She tilts her head back, swallowing the entire cup in a few mighty gulps. When she looks at you again, her face is completely different - younger and stronger, with an iron smile and piercing gaze.
$Y['Thank you, dear. This is exactly what I needed.']
As her hands resume her work, you are starting to feel a growing tiredness. You can barely keep your eyes open, your body collapsing on the wooden beam underneath you.

He is on top of you, kissing your $lips, kissing your neck, kissing your $breasts, his hands tearing apart your clothes as he descends lower in a flurry of desire.
Lavius completely shreds your $suit to pieces. Your naked body glistens in the darkness, beads of sweat covering your skin. The vampire runs his hands along it, feeling every curve. Reaching your arms, he places them in an outstretched position above your head and you soon feel the soft touch of leather wrapping around your wrists.
You let him tie you up. After all, resistance is futile. You feel completely defenceless and exposed, your flower twitching as he stares hungrily at it. $A[Maybe this is exactly what I wanted...]
He bends down and kisses it, leaving a trail of saliva along your slit. You are ready.
You feel a finger run along your wet slit.
A shiver runs through your body.
Finally he comes, sliding inside your dripping cunt with ease. A moan escapes your throat.
$L['Ah, my dear Alexandra, what a wonderful, beautiful, **naive** girl you are.']
Getting on top of you, his teeth sink into the side of your neck, puncturing your artery. Then you feel him penetrate you, starting to pump a rhythm as the blood is drained out of your body.
Your head spins. There is no pain.
The thrusts continue, filling your aching pussy over and over again.
Your body twitches as you feel yourself grow weaker.
He fucks you harder and faster. indiscernible screams escape your mouth.
The crescendo comes, one last final stroke that plunges into your depths and stays there, his seed spilling into your womb as his teeth drain the life out of your neck. You twitch again, your flower clenching tightly around him into one last, powerful orgasm, before everything fades into darkness.

Ever so slowly your body is relieved from the burden and your breasts begin to return to their previous shape and size.

$A[Narcissa! Her name is Narcissa!]
The pull from the dark water somehow becomes stronger. You are all too aware of your naked chest hanging just over the surface, and yet you can't pull away. Slowly, something emerges from the depths.
(set: _ti to 10)
(display:"eye")(link-reveal-goto:"Peer into the water")[(set: $secrets to it +1 ) ($nSecret:"Her Name")]Through the thick fabric of your butler pants, you can't feel him very well. At least not as well as you'd like. But it's also a certain preservation of your dignity. He may be rubbing you through your clothes, but at least he's not sticking his fingers all the way inside of you. $A[And I'm sure that the bastard would like that right now...]
As the vampire's fingers accelerate, making you moan quietly. A little wet spot appears on your pants and you squeeze your legs together, attempting to hide it.
$L['There's no need to be shy, love! Mihai may have dressed you all up as a butler, but you're still a succubus...']
Lavius wraps his other hand around your waist and pulls you closer towards him, then leans in for a kiss. You reluctantly open your lips and accept his.
His kisses you wildly, invading your mouth with a taste of wine and fruit. Having hit on a roadblock between your legs, his hand reaches up and groped you through the uniform, squeezing your $breasts and playing with your nipples as best as he can. Yet again, the uniform goes a long way to mitigate the effect, preserving your dignity to any onlookers. $A[No doubt if I was wearing anything else, he would have had my tits out by now...]
Finally Lavius pulls away, giving you a mixed look. You let your eyes fall to your lap, blushing.
$L['What curious butler Mihai has found... to tame a succubus in such way as to make her work and maintain proper behaviour - I didn't know he was that cruel of a man. You're lucky that I'm here to offer you a fun distraction from the chores he's no doubt thrusting upon you.']
You allow a small chuckle. $a['He's not that bad, you know... you should see how bossy Elise is!']
$L['Elise! She told you her name! I'm impressed. The old hag must really like you. But I digress. Come here!']
He taps the ground in front of him, smirking smugly at your flustered expression.

You can see a brief shadow go over his face and his expression sours for the briefest of moments, before returning to an impeccable smile.

His hand slides casually between your legs, gently rubbing your mound. You are stunned for a moment by the sudden change of pace of the conversation.
$a['We're in the garden, someone could see us!'] you whisper urgently at him, though you do not make an effort to push his hand away.

It would be good if it were true, but even so Lavius seems to get the message. As swiftly as he moved in, he pulls his hand away, leaning back casually on the bench.

Were you right to refuse Lavius' advances? You feel uncomfortable being this close to the edge, but it's too late to change your mind now.]
The two of you remain in silence for a while, taking in the view of the garden.
$L['The scenery is nice, but I think my companion is starting to miss me,'] says Lavius, raising to his feet. $L['I hope that I have fulfilled my part of the wager to your satisfaction, my dear. But now I must go.']

Ionut leans on a nearby table, lighting a cigarette. The smoke drifts through the damp air of the basement like thin grey mist.
You wonder if he would be so carefree if he came face to face with the mermaid. After a moment, he lifts his eyes to you.
$Io['Thank you, that vas all.']

Your asshole is pushed open, and the slime forces its way in. It advances rythmically, spilling deeper and deeper with every thrust. The feeling of fullness keeps growing, merging pleasure and discomfort in a way you hadn't thought possible. Your body is shaking and sweating but there is nothing more you can do.
<img src="images/tr/scenes/pit_slime.png" width="1000" align="center">
After a while all of the sensations become too overwhelming. You cannot think. You cannot resist. You cannot fight. With every push your asshole is now opening wider and wider, with willing anticipation of the next dose of thick black goo brushing in.
The black goo is invading every part of your body. It is in your guts, it is in your tummy, it is in your womb. Your body is now almost completely submerged, the blacness creeping up to your $breasts and neck. Only your hands are still sticking out, desperately grasping at the remnants of the last unfortunate visitors. You know that it will not be for long.
A line of black goo creeps up to your lips, teasing them playfully. As soon as your mouth opens in another moan, it slides inside, pouring down your throat. It is thick and bitter, and repulsive, and yet, somehow, you gulp it down almost willingly. The black goo is now pouring into every hole of your body, overwhelming you with lust and decay. Finally, your grasp slips and (link-reveal-goto:"you fall into the blackness.","DIESUCCUBUS")[

You sit down next to Ionut. It doesn't look like you have anything much to do, apart from trying to calm down your nerves. It has been a long and eventful day.
He passes you the cigar and you take a deep puff of it, blowing a little cloud of smoke into the night.
About an hour passes, when you suddenly see a group of shadowy figures emerge from the forest and head straight to your location. You both raise to your feet.
$Io['Who there?'] shouts the servant, shovel ready in his hand.
The figures approach closer, with the leader at the head of the part. He walks up to a few feet from you, stopping to eye you up and down. Your heart is pounding. You look nervously at the sky, but everything seems normal.
$rando['What's the matter, doll? If you're waiting for a date, that's us.'] He grins at you and the men behind him ready their weapons.
$Io['Get avay!']
Ionut swings the shovel at the leader, but he dodges swiftly to the side, punching the servant in the chest with his metal contraption. A burst of sparks follows the impact and Ionut's body begins to violently shake, a distorted cry coming out of his mouth. Then the servant collapses on the ground, the smell of burnt flesh filling the air.
$R['That washn't nice!'] comes a voice from above. You barely have the time to look up when a giant shadow drops from the sky, squashing the leader to the ground.
For a brief moment, everything seems to be going according to plan. Then the fallen leader flicks something and punches the elder in the chest, shoves the metal device straight in his heart.
Sparks fly everywhere and a terrible screech pierces the night. After a long moment, the body of the Elder falls to the ground, charred and fuming.
With a confident swagger, the men step forward, surrounding you. There is nowhere left to go. You manage to dodge the first two swings, but a third one catches you from behind. You stare at the blade sticking out of your chest, a stream of blood soaking your $suit.
You fall down with a muffled shriek. As the world begins to dim, you see the men heading down the basement.

You bend down to check on the servant's charred body. Parts of his clothes are fuming and his body is covered in fresh burn marks, but he seems to be somehow alive.
$A[Resistant bugger... I suppose that will be one more scar to carry proudly for his master...]
Meanwhile the Elder vampire leaps into the air, chasing after the men that ran away. It doesn't take long to hear screams coming from the forest, then silence.
After a few minutes, the enormous creature drops next to you, again seemingly out of nowhere. His jaws are dripping with blood as he grins at you.
$R['So you were right, servhant... I am impressed.']
You look into the flaming red eyes. His voice seems a lot more human now, and you can see some of his features slowly morphing under the moonlight.
$a['Thank you... Master Petrescu,'] you say courteously, bowing to him.
$R['Ahahahah! A succubus with mannehrs! I see why my son acquired your services... though he doesn't seem to be usinhg them to the full potential. That boy still has much to learn.']
$a['Speaking of Mihai, perhaps we should go and save him now?']
The elder vampire grins. $R['Demonss first.']

You go through the door and lead Vasil Petrescu down the corridor towards the gathering place. The half-human creature seems right at home walking down the dimly lit stone passages, his red eyes flaming as bright as the torches.
Walking down the corridor you can hear voices coming from the other end. You are on time.
The Elder moves forward confidently, but carefully. You are once again impressed by his overwhelming presence, a true apex predator. For all the monsters you've seen here, he is the one that reeks of the rawest power, an aura of deadly superiority that makes you feel like weak prey, even if he's on your side now.
Despite his prowess and the ease with which he dealt with the previous opponents, the ancient vampire does not move with arrogance. You can sense his full alertness, the way his eyes pierce every inch of the hallway and his nostrils enlarge with every deep breath he takes.
He continues moving forward, then abruptly stops at one of the intersections. There is a tunnel to the side, though you can see only darkness.
In an instant, the Elder spreads his wings and dashes towards the ceiling, his hand extending to a corner veiled in shadows. He then comes crashing down, pinning a $E[dark figure] down to the ground.

Before you even realize it, your back is arching down, your head pushed obediently to the ground and your ass lifting up, ready and waiting.
<img src="images/tr/scenes/pit_centipede.png" width="800" align="right">
The legs crawl some more as the creature coils around your body and positions something against you. You know that this is wrong and repulsive, and yet you yern for it. You are revulsed by your arousal, and aroused by your revulsion.
As the liquid heat continues to spread through your body, it reaches your head, stiflig all thoughts of resistance.
The creature is now into position, and you can feel something long and hard pushing against your ass. You feel a wave of disapointment and neediness as your wet pussy screams for attention. You could easily reposition yourself, but that would be admitting exactly how much you want it.

Your movements are interrupted by something large and bulbous moving down the member inside you. It presses against your folds, pushing them apart as it begins to travel deeper inside of you. It reaches your womb, and tension begins to rise before it finally slips inside, making your entire bosy shake violantly from pleasure.]

Your heart is pounding in your chest as the reality of the situation creeps upon you. Terror begins to rise but then the liquid warmth returns lulling you into a haze of lust and pleasure. By the time the second round object comes, your hole is already waiting for it and opens willingly, letting it slide inside.
$a['Aaaahh!'] Lusty moans escape your lips with each new sphere pushed inside of your body. Your thoughts begin to recede and you no longer remember who you are or where you are. All that you know is the liquid warmth, the fullness of your body, and the pleasure of your hole stretching and closing again and again as the comfortable pressure inside you increases.
A milion feathers are gently caressing your skin and you curl up, letting them envelop you in an almost motherly embrace. You can no longer open your eyes, nor do you wish to. Your mind dissolves into (link-reveal-goto:"lust and darkness.","DIESUCCUBUS")[

As terror grips you, you feel the familiar $in[deep and primal force] surge through your body. It begins in your belly and bursts up like a roaring flame.
$a['Aaaaah!!'] You scream off the top of your lungs as the darknes condenses rapidly around you, forming $a[**two giant wings**] on your back. You begin flapping them frantically, the speed of your fall slowing down with every massive swing. It is clumsy and imperfect and you have no clue what the hell you're doing, but somehow you regain a fraction of control.
After several more long seconds, you [[suddenly hit the ground->hit the ground2]].<div id="center">$dark</div>
You drop into a pile of bones that cracks and splinters as you roll down the side of it violently. Your body hits a bump and for a moment you are sent flying into the air again, arms flailing, before you hit the surface again, splashing bits around you.
You are in the pit. Again.
$A[Alright, Alex, just clam down... perhaps it will be different this time.]
You tentatively get to your feet, wobbling slightly. The $in[stale smell of decay] is already hitting you. You need to hurry. The good thing is that your vision seems to have activated on its own this time. You can $in[see in the dark]. And you can see the door.
Squashing ancient remains of forgotten things, you begin to make your way towards the door. You feel empowered by your new abilities. You can do this.
Suddenly something pulls your leg. Your heart skips a beat and you feel a familiar sinking feeling in your belly.

You continue walking for about a quarter of an hour, slowly descending towards the village. Just as you begin to wonder if this is really going to work, you spot a faint light coming among the trees on the other side of the creek.
$A[That must be them!]
You feel your heartbeat increasing. (if: $deathlist contains "torture")[The last time the men got their hands on you, you ended up nailed to a chair and electrocuted to death. A cold chill runs down your spine. But you know you have to do this.]

You cross the creek and dive among the trees, following the flicker of light. Soon enough a familiar mix of rugged voices reach your ears, confirming that you are on the right track.
Eventually the trees part, revealing a small clearing where a camp fire is blazing, surrounded by a few shadowy figures. The men are relaxed in a conversation, tossing a handful of dice on a board and smoking cigars. You can see a few bags thrown around, as well as their weapons leaning against a tree.
You continue approaching the camp and a few branches crack under your feet, suddenly alerting the men to your presence. They raise to their feet, reaching for their weapons.
$rando['Stay where you are!'] The leader steps forward, eyeing you up and down. The rest of the men exchange glances.
You suddenly realize that they do not remember your previous encounters. To them, you are a strange woman with horns that has just stepped out of the darkness. $A[They are probably used to seeing lots of non-humans, but perhaps not succubi...]

You lean on a tree, giving them a cheeky look

The leader approaches you and you can see the metal device already mounted on his arm. $A[It's the thing that took out Ionut... I need to find a way to disable it!]
You try to study the device without making your intentions obvious, but you can't get a very clear view of it. The tension is rising in the air. You will need to diffuse the situation if you want any chance of not getting clubbed to death in the coming seconds.

$a['Relax, fellas. It is Lavius that sent me here.'] You wave a hand non-chalantly to lower their weapons, but are met with dubious looks.
$rando['Lavius? Why would he send you?']
You look the leader dead in the eye. He is a rough man and you can tell that he's used to smelling lies. However you have one big advantage he doesn't know about - you've seen the future. You've been there. This gives you a quiet confidence. $in[Your mind is clear. You are in control.]
$a['Why, to assist you with the plan, of course. Things have changed. We need to adapt.']
The man raises an eyebrow. $rando['**We?** he never mentioned you, doll.']
You move forward and inch towards the man's face. Close and personal. You can smell his sweat, see the unshaven patches on his beard. Your horns are almost poking at his skin. Your $lips blossom in an arrogant smile. $a['Do you think you are his only trump card, little man? And that he tells you everything, always? That he would have no back-up if things went wrong?']
You can see the discomfort in his eyes and the thoughts racing in his mind. But you don't leave him long to ponder.$a['The Elder has awakened and he will be guarding the entrance along with Ionut. Your device is not well enough equipped to deal with him. Not now anyway. You will need to increase the power.']
$rando['How do you know all of that...?']
$a['I told you, silly. Lavius sent me - I'm here to help. And I know that you don't know how to reconfigure that thing. So if you want our plan to succeed, turn your back and let me configure the device.']
It seems that your arguments have managed to convince the leader. Reluctantly, he turns away and presents you with the large backpack that is connected to the device on his arm.

The device looks like something straight of the 19th century, perhaps from Tesla's personal sketchbook. However there is more to it. For all the shiny copper and glass, you also spot other, more sinister details. Runes etched in plaques, crystals connected in strange ways. You can't quite tell where the classical technology ends and the occult begins.
Despite the strange additions to the device, you manage to quickly locate the control board. It has all sorts of knobs and gauges. Luckily for you, you've once studied these things.
$a['I will increase the voltage to maximum,'] you explain to the men, pointing to a knob and turning it all the way up. $a['This will drain the power very quickly, but should be strong enough to deal with the old Petrescu. Use it sparingly and wait for the right moment.']
The men look over your shoulder and nod approvingly, though you can tell that they don't really understand it. $A[Perfect... just what I was counting on!] As you make a grand point of explaining how the voltage should be kept at a max, you discretely turn the amperage way down. $A[This will barely give a zap now... fools!]
As you finish setting up the device and step back, nobody seems to have noticed your trickery.
$a['Alright, fellas - you're all set! I think we should get moving now, before anyone notices my absence.']
The leader turns around, flexing his arm with the device. He gives you a slightly confused look, but doesn't find any objection. $rando['You heard her men! Time for action.']
The group quickly packs the camp and prepares for departure.

Ionut swings the shovel at the leader, but he dodges swiftly to the side, hitting the servant on his head with a bat. Ionut sways, but doesn't fall.

$R['Ish that all?']
You can feel the horror set in the group. The men turn towards you with angry stares, but it's too late. An arm flies off, spraying you with a splatter of blood. The metal contraption hangs on to it, cables torn.

      (colour:#6e6e6e)[//-quoth the raven//]The maid outfit that you're wearing provides a perfect opportunity for this and you don't even need to remove anything. You pull your skirt up slightly and give in to the pleasure.
As the vampire's fingers accelerate, the wet spot on your panties begins to grow. Satisfied with this result, Lavius pushes the thin fabric to side, finally sliding underneath.
$a['Aaaah!~~'] You bite your lip, stifling a moan, your hands clenching the bench.
$L['Just relax, my dear. Let's have some fun!']
Lavius wraps his other hand around your waist and pulls you closer towards him, then leans in for a kiss. You can hardly resist. As soon as your lips open to welcome him, he pushes his fingers even deeper, making you squirm with pleasure.
His kisses you wildly, invading your mouth with a taste of wine and fruit. Energetic and generous, he continues to finger you with outstanding skill, hitting spots you never knew existed and sending wave after wave of blissful pleasure through your body. When he finally pulls away you are left breathless and shaking, almost at the edge of orgasm.
$L['What wonderful maids Mihai has found... I wish you were serving **me**, dear. We would have such fun!']
You meekly nod at him.
$L['But I promised you food, and a gentleman always keeps his promise. Why don't you come down here and get your reward?']
He taps the ground in front of him, smirking smugly at your flustered expression.

You slide from the bench and get down on the ground, kneeling in front of Lavius. The top of your maid outfits gives him an almost unimpeded view of your $breasts, which seems to produce an effect judging by the growing bulge in his pants.

Even as he says he won't keep you waiting, you can see that Lavius takes a great care in unbuckling his belt as slowly and methodically as possible. Your hungry stare probably speaks enough for him.
$A[That smug bastard....]
You wish you could hate him, but it's just making you even hornier. As you kneel down on the ground with nothing but a black skirt, you can sense a handful of resiliant stems of grey grass rubbing against your wet slit. You are so hot and sensitive that even that is enough to make you twitch with anticipation.
After taking his sweet time to enjoy your longing look, Lavius finally slips his cock out and grabs your horn, giving you a playful tug towards him.

Lavius seems very happy to just lean back and let you do the work for him. Occasionally he gives your horns a little tug, adjusting your pace to his liking.
As you slide your lips back and forth down his shaft you are lulled into a familiar, pleasant $a[**haze**]. It is a place in your mind that is always there to welcome you. You feel aroused, but it's more than that. You feel **good**.

You slide from the bench and get down on the ground, kneeling in front of Lavius. The top of your devil gown gives him an almost unimpeded view of your $breasts. The fabric shifts again, increasing the exposed area and tightening around them, which makes your pierced nipples stand out clearly.
The effect seems clear on Lavius, judging by the growing bulge in his pants.

Even as he says he won't keep you waiting, you can see that Lavius takes a great care in unbuckling his belt as slowly and methodically as possible. Your hungry stare probably speaks enough for him.
$A[That smug bastard....]
You wish you could hate him, but it's just making you even hornier. As you kneel down on the ground, the devil's gown is still keeping your pussy open and exposed. You can feel a handful of resiliant stems of grey grass rubbing against your wet slit. You are so hot and sensitive that even that is enough to make you twitch with anticipation.
After taking his sweet time to enjoy your longing look, Lavius finally slips his cock out and grabs your horn, giving you a playful tug towards him.

You take the man's member in your mouth and immediately feel the familiar haze creep in your mind.

You see the metallic device on the leader's arm and you try to discreetly reach and disconnect some of the wires.

He grabs your wrist and you see anger in his eyes. He knows. You open your mouth to respond, but the leader swings swiftly with his arm, hitting you in the stomach. The metal contraption connects with your skin and an electrical shock zaps through your body, making you shake uncontrollably.

A massive tentacle has rizen right in front of you, its end dangling suspiciously close to your lips.
The black fleshy mass looks even more repulsive than the rest of the tentacles. From up close you can see its muscles pulsating beneath the slimy skin, a row of irregular shaped suction cups lining the inner side of it. There are other, stranger things on it too, organic formations that you can't identify nor describe, with shapes that twitch ominously with every wriggle of the tentacle. A dark liquid is oozing out of its end and dripping down right on your naked breasts.
The tentacle extends the tip forward, like an invitation.
Conflicting emotions wrestle within you. A part of you is utterly disgusted by the unearthly abomination, but another, deeper part is compelled by the proposition. The heat in your belly grows and you find yourself dancing on the edge between your human instincts and your supernatural lust.

A sense of madness creeps upon you, but you have no choice but to embrace it. You no longer see the room around you, or hear Sabrina's voice. Darkness is creeping all around and now the darkness is making its way inside of you, drop by drop, sliding down your throat.
Your mind is spiraling. Something is comming. You know it in your bones. And you are ready for it. Your nipples stand shamefully erect, your holes gaping open. The tentacles are gently spreading your ass cheeks apart, but you know that it's for something else. Something that is yet to come.
The black tentacle in your mouth begins to tremble excitedly, then the drops abruptly stop. You can feel the tension building and you double your efforts, sucking the stem with a vigor and depravity that you didn't know you had.

Without looking, you know that something is extending down towards you, to your tiny frame, your insignificant presence, your shameful and lusty holes that do not deserve the unspeakable grandeur that is about to defile them.

$Io['I vant it! Please, Miss Alexandra...']
$a['No.']
You stop and squeeze, holding his crooked member tightly as it struggles to twitch under your fingers. That was so close.
Ionut whimpers but you don't let go until eventually his erection falls back down into a semi-hard state.
$a['Next time... perhaps'] you giggle, blowing him a kiss.

<img src="images/tr/scenes/stacked/Succubus_flight.jpg" width="700" align="right">Shadows gather around you and your body grows hot. Your horns itch and you can almost feel them sprouting from your scalp, growing longer and bigger.
In an instant the shadows condense into two black, leathery wings, spreading above the men who stare at them with lust and awe.
$rando['S-so beautiful...'] mumbles one of them, falling to your feet and kissing them passionately.
You feel absolutely amazing. Your body feels whole. Desire fills you but it does not control you. The hands of the men reach for your body, as if praying to some kind of dark savior, a goddess of lust that can understand and fulfil their deepest needs and desires.
One look is enough to make them fall to their knees, one caress of your fingers - to make them hard as a rock, one rub of your feet between their groins - to force them to whimper and plead.
You smile to yourself. $A[This is the kind of treatment I can get used to...]

$a['Tell me, what do you want, big boy?']
$rando['Argh, I want you, I want you now!']
You can feel his cock throbbing underneath you, bursting with unfulfilled desires. Ever so slowly you rub your wet slit up and down along his shaft, enjoying his torture.
$rando['Aaaah, please...!']
Finally you push him inside of you, your warm hole wrapping around his member and sucking him in.
$rando['Oohh- So- good...']
$a['What are **you** looking at?'] you jab at one of the other men, who's staring mezmerized at your crotch. You push his head down with your foot, using him as support as you begin to sway your hips and milk the one beneath you. Another man meekly offers himself under your other foot, content to be your support while you do as you please.
The $A[hunger] is awakening again, but this time it's different. It's something that you can $in[take] from others, not be subject to. You smile and spread your wings.

After a brief hesitation, you enter inside the room, slipping into the familiar silvery confusion. Everything is white and calm. But still, the room feels somehow *different*.
$a['Hello? Elise...?']
Something seems off. You take a few more steps inside, looking around the room, when suddenly the door closes behind you.

There's no one there. You gaze at the empty space, your eyes struggling to focus on something that isn't there.
Then the thing that isn't there moves.
You can tell that you are definitely **not** looking at it, like a space in your field that your eyes are just repelled from. Just like a magnet, the closer you try to get your gaze to the place, the more you want to look at something else.
Then the shadows move and a silhouette begins to form.

just as she appeared, Felicia blends back into the shadows, vanishing from sight. Where she stood now there is an uncomfortable void, a place where your gaze refuses to fall. Quietly, the void moves into the corner of the room.

*Something* prods at your entrance and you can feel the arousal rising. You didn't come here for this, but now that you're in the position and have no choice, your body is silently screaming for it.
$a['Aaaahh!'] A moan escapes your lips as you feel the *ovipositor* push inside your wet pussy, sinking deeper and deeper.
You suddenly remember that Felicia is somewhere, watching you. The thought makes your face glow red and you look down at the floor, ashamed.
It doesn't take long until you feel a hard round object moving through the stem. It stretches your entrance and makes its way deeper, ready to be softly deposited in your pussy.

The ovipositor twitches and the egg is pushed forward, sliding past all defences. It feels hard and warm and snug. Your eyes roll up and Elise gives out a groan of satisfaction.

The torches on the walls become scarcer and scarcer. With no flicker of the next flame in sight, each step down brings you closer to total darkness.

He caresses your cheek with a finger, before preparing to take his shot.

The innkeep shrugs and pours you a foamy jug, slapping it on the counter in front of you. You toss him a handful of coins and turn to the side.
The beer is bitter and the jug is surprisingly heavy. You almost pour half of it in your lap, before steadying it with both hands.
$A[Is it just me...?]
You try to forget your troubles for a moment and focus on the drink. It's a reminder of simpler days when you went out drinking with your friends back in England. The memory seems so far away now, like it happened to someone else. Or was it something you saw at the movies?
Reality is a funny thing. You wanted a moment to escape your troubles, yet all it brought you are more questions.
You finish the beer in silence.$rando['So, what do you want?']

The innkeep takes out a bottle of dark red and pours you a glass, carefully placing it in front of you. You hand him back a handful of coins and lift up the glass.
You take a moment to feel the aroma before taking a sip from it. It's bitter, but pleasant. Not as good as the one Lavius offered you, but for this price you couldn't hope for more.
$A[I could really get used to some fine wine...]
You try to forget your troubles for a moment and focus on the drink. It's surprisingly pleasant to sit and drink wine by yourself. Not necessarily something you'd consider doing **before**, but now it feels almost natural.
As the glass empties, you feel a pleasant warmth spread through your body.$rando['So, what do you want?']
$a['Can you, uh- mix me something nice?']
The innkeep takes out a couple of bottles of various spirits and mixes them up, topping the glass with juice. He doesn't seem too thrilled about your request but hands you the glass nonetheless, extending a palm for his coins.
The cocktail is nothing that you've seen before and has a slightly odd taste, but is still enjoyable. You sip it slowly, taking a moment to compose your thoughts.

Your vision blurs and your eyes roll, giving in to sensation and pleasure. Something fills you up, over and over again, so abundant that the pressure inside you grows and stretches your womb. The bracelet glows on your wrist and you feel another bead blossom in crimson.

Your head feels heavy this morning. You sit in your bead, running a heand through your hair. You end up absent-mindedly rubbing one of your horns. It feels so natural on your head now, like it's always been there.

Just below your belly, a dark tattoo is shining on your skin, covering the area right on top of your womb. It's made of strange black symbols that you can't understand and the lines of ink almost seem to be moving.

You open your eyes, panting.

Your body starts moving up and down ever so slightly, leaning forward and then back again so that the $O[object] slides in and out of you. The numerous hands support you and aid your movement, like encouraging hosts to your unholy ritual.
You can feel the two $O[cursed things] hanging from your nipples, bouncing back and forth along with your motions. You don't know what they are and you are almost afaid to speculate. Physically, they feel like two leather balls, although there is definitely a more complex texture to them. But it is not the physical aspect that worries you. They feel deeply wrong, like a perversion to life. You can feel an air of madness to them, as if deaf voices speaking to you, voices that you cannot hear but feel their words regardless, inciting you towards unspeakable actions.
Suddenly the $O[object] beneath you squirts a load into you and your pussy instinctively tightens, clenching around the rigid shaft.

Your entire body is burning with desire and madness. Your lips wrap around the cursed finger in your mouth and suck on it meekly, abandoning all resistance.

The small bump in your belly feels ominous and heavy. It's inside of you, with no way to get rid of it. The realization hits you hard.

One of them wraps around your wrists, pulling your arms above your head. You fall to your knees, the squirming darkness closing in from all sides. It feels like the earth all around you is moving, shifting and slithering. Your skin is caressed by a thousand tongues, curling underneath you.
The anticipation is building in your chest with every breath. Time feels like a distant memory in the total darkness of the cavernous space, where all of your sensations are heightened to the extreme.
You can taste the earth on your tongue. You can hear the soil shifting as the creatures tunnel through it. You can smell them too - an intense, saturated smell of death and decay.
$A[I deserve this....]
It feels like this time it's entirely your fault that you are here. There is a morbid masochism from the situation. Your $a[pussy] is already dripping and yearning for attention.

After a little more teasing, the creature finally plunges in. It contracts and expands, making its way forward with each convulsion. You feel it making its way deeper and deeper, with grim determination that promises that the worst is yet to come.
Soon you feel it reach a threshold inside of you, something deep in your belly. A gentle pressure begins to build.

The worm contracts and expands, making its way forward with each convulsion. You feel it sink deeper and deeper, with grim determination that promises that the worst is yet to come.
As the push and pressure increases, other worms descend on you, twisting around your $breasts and sliding down your back. Their cold, slimy caresses are drawing you in, coercing you into acceptance.

You climb up from the crypt, one step at a time. You are emotionally and physically exhausted.
Soon, a dim light appears ahead of you and torches soon follow, spreading ghostly shadows into the stairway.
A little farther ahead you find a heap on the floor. Your clothes. $A[I guess I was expecting what would happen down there...]
At last, you are almost back to the surface. Through a small window in the stone walls surrounding you, you can see a patch of the sky. The summer air rushes to your nostrils and you take a deep breath of the mountain and the pines.
It feels so much better than damp soil and dead things.

Dear supporters,
As we announced on the <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/important-and-v-59004499" target="_blank">Patreon post here </a>, in November 2021 we were contacted by Patreon staff and given an ultimatum to remove part of the content or face the termination of the project.
Given the circumstances, we complied, but we would like to take the time to provide you with more details:
**What was removed?**
We had to remove the scenes with the werewolf, 2 of Sabrina's trainings, 1 of the pit of death options, all of Gwtllgi's content, as well as 1 of Elise's scenes.
**Is the content ever coming back?**
The content will not be coming back while we are on Patreon, however this does not mean that it's never coming back. We are actively exploring other solutions.
**What are your plans for the future?**
Our main priority is to finish the project as quickly as possible. In <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffZ7f6yVw-BLj_LeffCraYAC8HY-K2Bhlmx-I2k5wGm1Vhdw/viewform" target="_blank">our survey</a> it was clear that the overwhelming sentiment of our fans is to move forward and use the support to push Chapter 2 and 3 to completion, delivering the end product for everyone to enjoy.
Please feel free to fill out the survey and leave your thoughts.

You died here once before, but you won't die here today. The darkness condenses around you and powerful wings propel you upwards, leaping through the air and out of the predator's grasp.
You manage to sustain the flight for only a handful of seconds, but it's enough. You land in another pile of trash and bones, which cushions your fall.
As you lift your head up, the walls of the pit are much closer, and so is the door.
$A[I'm almost there!!]
You scramble to get up, sending a skull bouncing down the pile and splashing into something. There is a sound of movement closing in on your new location, but you have enough of a head start.
You sprint through the decaying debris, abandoning stealth for speed. Now there's movement from other sides as well, coming towards you. You try to ignore it.
Now that $in[you can see in the dark], it's easier to navigate the pit without constantly slipping and tripping. You focus your efforts on a final sprint, climbing up the ridges of the pit, up and up towards $in[the door].
Finally, your fingers wrap around the metal rings of the door. It's made of heavy wood and reinforced with steel edges, but it doesn't seem to be locked. You push and one wing creaks open, just enough to allow you to slip into the hallway beyond.
(set: _ti to 10)
(display:"goto")[[Leave the pit->pit escape2]]<div id="center">$corr</div>
You follow the stone hallway, guided by your new vision. It slopes upwards, giving you hope that you will emerge on the surface soon.
You place a hand on your racing heart, trying to slow it down.
$A[It's okay, Alex, you've got this...]
You can still smell the stench of death and *decay* lingering behind you. The pit from which you emerged, the pit that had once consumed you.
You feel pretty proud to be walking out of it alive, though you can't shake the feeling that you've left another piece of yourself behind, another threshold has been broken.
As your $in[golden eyes] gaze turn the pitch black into silvery gray, you can't help but wonder how far will this path eventually take you.
$A[If I can call those wings at will... that could change many things...]
All of this time, your $A[sucubus hunger] has brought nothing but trouble. Now you are reaping rewards from it, though you don't yet know at what cost they'll come.
Lost in thought, you emerge at the end of the hallway and face a familiar door. $A[So this is where I am...]
(set: _ti to 20)
(display:"goto")(link-reveal-goto:"Enter the basement","Emerge Basement")[
(set: $pit_escape to 2)
]<div id="center">$base</div>
Luckily for you, the metal door has a handle on this side. You push it open and emerge back into the familiar basement.
There is no one around, except for the wooden box with the creature inside. You carefully close the door again and straighten your $suit.
$A[So far so good...]
Now that you think about it, except for the Elder in the tower, no one else knows about your little adventure. You could play it off and just carry on with your day... or you could climb back into the tower and see where that gets you.
The thought is tempting.
$A[I'd love to see the look on his face...]
In either way, it's time to move, unless you want to stay behind and have a chat with the box.

Despite the complete darkness, you are able to see more this time - the dusty stone steps, as well as the deep scratches in them.

The tower's top is a large circular space, dominated by a massive throne of bones and skulls. The dead sockets seem to be staring at you somehow, making you feel uneasy. To your sides, you can see other piles of skulls, arranged in ominous shapes. In the center, there is a large circle with runes etched into the stone. The entire place feels otherworldly and radiates a presence of its own, as if projecting the power of all the slain foes.
$R['You agghain...?'] A hiss descends from above, followed by a shadow dropping from the ceiling. The Elder stands in front of you, his glowing red eyes peering down.

Their conversation goes just like last time. Finally, his footsteps come back towards you and the door swings shut as Mihai passes by. Only after you hear him descend calmly down the stairs do you finally allow yourself to breathe.
You exhale a deep sigh of relief.

You fall to your knees, gazing into the empty sockets of the skull. A hand on your back pushes you forward and you collapse on all fours, facing the empty stare of the skull.
$R['Bow, succubus!']
Your hands stretch forward and your head goes down. Even without seeing it, you can still *feel* the gaze of the skull. It envelops your body and pierces right through you. Rarely have you felt so naked before.

Lavius, Mihai, and the Wolf are sat around a round table. There are parchments unfolded, and candles and wine. You catch a glimpse of the black box, laid in the corner of the room. All the eyes move to the Elder. He takes a deep breath, then moves towards Lavius.
$L['My lord! We weren't expecting you to-']

He flips the table over, sending everything flying. You see Mihai's confused expression and the Wolf's hesitation, even as he bears his fangs.
$R['I trusted you, boy! Who sheltered you? Who ghave you protecthion? And this ish how you repay MY family?']
The Elder grabs Lavius by the neck, lifting him up against the wall. For the first time, you can see terror in his eyes. You can see him struggling to transform and fight back, yet it's clear that he's no match for his adversary.
$N['Stop! I can't let you kill him!']
You turn around and face the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. Her head is sticking out of the box as she slowly emerges out, her tentacles wrapping around the edge. For a moment, everything seems frozen. Then comes the song.

You remove your clothes with something approaching trepidation and you step closer, showing him your naked breasts.

A beautiful demon stares back at you, with $in[golden, cat-like eyes] popping out of the dull greyness of the room like shining jewels in a pile of mush.
You feel time slowing down and your heartbeat rings in your ears like the warbeat of a distant drum. You lean in closer, almost gluing yourself to the reflection. The intricate patterns of your irises seem to give off a soft sheen in the darkness, almost alive, flowing towards the center like golden sands pouring down the abyss of cosmic lust.
Mesmerized, you watch them for a moment, before slowly moving back. It's hard to believe that the horned creature in the mirror really is you.

As you lift your head up, the walls of the pit are much closer, and so is the door.

You scramble to get up, sending a skull bouncing down the pile and splashing into something. There is a sound of movement closing in on your new location, but you have enough of a head start.

You are in the dark void, numb and still. A part of you wonders if you're dead or dreaming, but even the question itself can't quite form itself properly in your mind.
Time passes, or at least you think it does. There's a faint feeling of cold, and a faint feeling of softness, but above all, there is stillness. Your body feels like it's made of clay, heavy and inert, every muscle having completely forgotten that it ever had the ability to move.
Then a sensation of fullness begins to arise. It's small at first, just a ball in your belly, but it continues to grow. You can feel your body expanding, or rather being forced to expand. The fullness is starting to become heavy, uncomfortable. You want to fight it, but there's nothing you can do. You are completely $a[helpless].
Eventually, the growing stops, leaving you in a state of confused discomfort. Words and feelings scramble around your head, failing to form into cohesive thoughts. Eventually, you accept the new sensations and your mind is yet again lulled into the stillness of the void.

The floor underneath you is cold, but somehow soft.
Your body is aching.

Your fingers gently let go, letting the bracelet slide down your hand and towards the darkness beneath.
As you watch the last spots of crimson sink into the depths, there is a strange feeling of calm and acceptance that washes over you.
As you close your eyes, you feel a hand grabbing you from behind and pulling you out of the water, but the (link-reveal-goto:"world already falls into darkness","Elise Epilogue drunk")[(set: $bracelet to 0)].<div id="center">$dark</div>
While Elise is fussing with the woman in the adjacent cavern, you try to get up and relieve at least some of the pressure.
$A[If I can get just one or two out while she isn't watching...]
The endeavour quickly proves to be more complicated than you imagined. Your belly is so round and heavy that even with your limbs free from the web, walking around requires a lot of effort.
With a lot of panting, you manage to roll to a corner of the cave and hide behind a rock, hoping that the spider woman won't notice what you're up to. With a grunt, you lift yourself up and squat, with your back against the stone.
You never imagined that your belly could be this full. You hold it with both hands out of fear that a sudden movement could send you tumbling over. It is deeply uncomfortable and yet perversely arousing. Like chains from within, the countless eggs stuffed inside you are keeping you slow and docile, doing whatever the black woman wants of you.
In the distance, you can hear the muffled screams of the other woman. A nameless victim of the spider queen, you can only imagine what horrors she's experiencing, all the while being driven to the edge of ecstasy. The thought provokes a sudden heat in your own belly and you feel the warm juices dripping down your thighs.
$A[Come on, Alex, get a grip...]
You desperately need *some* sort of relief. Your mind and body are on the very edge, you can feel it. Even a single egg out would help you to think clearer, to move just a little more freely. You decide to give it a go.
(display:"goto")[[Push an egg out->Push an egg out drunk]]<div id="center">$dark</div>
You grit your teeth and give the push a go. There is a deep rumbling inside your tummy and you feel something shifting inside you, ever so slowly.
You take a quick gasp for air and continue pushing. Your body feels heavy and the increasing pressure is making your head spin.
$A[Come on, you can do this Alex...]
You try to focus on the goal but it's so damn hard. Despite all of your efforts the eggs is barely moving forward. You can feel it inside of your guts but it seems almost an impossible task to get it out.
You want to give up and just lie down. It would be so much easier than this. The fullness of your belly is somehow inviting, placating.
By sheer force of will, you chase the thought away and decide to continue trying.
(display:"goto")[[Push again->Push again drunk]]<div id="center">$dark</div>
You try again, with even more effort, and this time you can feel some result. Painfully slowly, you can feel an egg moving further and further down your rectum and beginning to push against the inner walls of your back entrance.
$A[Dammit... how big is this thing... ?!]
You pant and push and pant again, gaining painful millimiter after painful millimeter while your hole ever so slowly begins to stretch open.
At every moment you can swear that your body can't take it anymore, and at every moment you decide to push it a step further. Your hands press down on your bloated belly, hoping that the additional pressure will help expell out at least one of the ticking time bombs.
With great resistance and against all odds, your hole stretches wider and wider as the egg inches forward. You can feel part of it beginning to show itself out, but much of it is still inside. The shell is rough and irregular and covered in something sticky that is somehow making everything even more difficult.
You can feel that maybe a third of it is already out, though your progress is becoming increasingly difficult. You begin to wonder if it's even physically possible to get it out.
But you are so close. You refuse to give up. Your head is spinning and your body is trembling but you simply refuse to give up.
(display:"goto")[[Give it a final push->Give it a final push drunk]]<div id="center">$dark</div>
You take a deep breath and push one final time. Your eyes close and your entire body is contracting, expelling the egg bit after bit.
You feel that you can't take it any more. Your hole is stretched to its absolute limit, gaping wide. You can see almost half of the egg sticking out now, but you simply have no strength left. Your muscles feel weak and shaking.
You take a deep breath, trying to gather some force.
$E['What do we have here, tsk?']
A black face hangs down from the ceiling, right in front of you and your heart stops for a second.
As Elise slides down and examines the scene you can feel a clear air of dissatisfaction in her expression.
$E['Tsk, tsk. What are you doing, girl? Are you trying to get rid of my children?'] She places a loving hand on your bloated tummy, caressing it gently.
$a['It was- it was becoming too much, I need to remove at least one, I was going to burst...'] Your voice fades off into an uncertain whisper.
$E['Now, now, girl,'] the hand slides down your tummy and between your legs, rubbing the wetness of your slit. $E['I expected more obedience from you.']
The black woman puts her hand on the egg that is halfway out, stuck in your stretched asshole. She looks at you and gives you an evil grin.
$a['Please,'] you whimper quietly. $a['Please, Elise, no. I can't.']
A tear rolls down your cheek as you frantically shake your head.
$E['Yes you can, dear.']
The spider woman smiles at you [[and presses on the egg->and presses on the egg drunk]].<div id="center">$dark</div>
The egg begins to inch backwards, undoing your hard earned progress. You can feel the other eggs resisting. Everything is packed so tightly in your bowels that any movement causes a chain reaction, shifting things around with the slow and excruciating pace of a glacier.
$a['Please, no, no no, I can't, I'm going to burst...']
You cry out in pain and desperation as the tears begin to swell your eyes.
$E['Hush now, girl, don't be a fuss!']
A black hand squeezes your mouth and forces you to look up at your mistress. $E['You brought this upon yourself, tsk. If you had stayed put, things would have been easier. Now shut up and take it.']
Elise shoves the egg forcefully and in an instant everything is lost. It slides back past your entrance and your tormented hole closes around it, sending the egg even deeper. You moan painfully as the backed up line of bulbs is forced deeper again, causing your tummy to throb and inflate.
$E['There, that wasn't so hard now, was it?'] The black woman pats you on the head and you collapse down, holding your heavy bloated tummy, all hope dead and buried. $E['And from the looks of things, you even enjoyed it a little, tsk.'] Elise runs a finger between your folds and then lifts it up to your face, revealing a line of thick juice. $E['Let's get you back to your bed, tsk.']
Before you can object or say anything, Elise pushes you down and [[rolls you back to your corner->rollback drunk]].<div id="center">$dark</div>
With great effort, you force your eyes to open. Around you, there is darkness and stone, and lots of silk.
$E['Is my pet awake yet?'] comes a voice from above.
You lift your head to see Elise, hanging from the ceiling on top of you, her green unblinking eyes staring down with cold amusement. She drops down next to you, black skin contrasting on the white silk all around.
$E['How are you feeling, girl?']
You consider the question for a long moment, then slowly move your gaze from the spider woman down to your body. You are lying on the floor of a large cavern, naked save for a handful of webs half-wrapped around your torso. Everything feels so heavy. Your belly is giant and bloated, bulging outwards like a pregnant woman that is just about ready to give birth. Your breasts are also round and tender, pushed up by the uncomfortable fullness inside you.
Memories slowly drip to your consciousness. The conspiracy. The Elder. The song.
Your eyes dart to your wrist, but there's nothing there. Reality begins to set in, and so does panic.

You struggle and push, managing to only partially lift your body before collapsing back on the floor. Your efforts quickly leave you panting and out of breath, with your head spinning and blood bumping in your ears.
$E['Pushing yourself too hard will not do you any good, girl,'] says Elise with a thin smile on her lips. $E['I've made you a comfortable bed, so just enjoy it, tsk.'] She rubs your bloated belly in an affectionate, yet condenscending way.

$E['Only what you're good at, tsk. A little assistance, a little company, a little cooperation. The cave can get terribly lonely at this time of year.']
You're not too sure what the spider woman means by that, but her look tells you that you'll just have to wait and find out. You open your mouth to say something but a sudden wave of vertigo hits you and you lie back, closing your eyes to stop the world from spinning.
$E['We'll get along just fine, you and I',] whispers a voice in your ear.
You can feel a thin layer of silk wrapping over your naked body and suddenly the cave feels a little warmer and more comfortable. Your bloated body is worrying you less and less. It's reassuring, even $a[natural]. You vaguely remember a time when your body felt different, but the memory struggles to stay in focus in your mind.
$E['Gather your strength, dear. You'll need it.']
(display:"goto")[[Drift off to sleep->El cave sleep drunk]]<div id="center">$dark</div>
You let yourself drift into the warm, silky feeling, finding an uneasy sleep permeated by vague shadows and distant terrors. Time passes, or at least you think it does.
You feel the touch of warm skin against your body, pulling you out of your slumber. You open your eyes to see the face of a young woman, lying next to you. She looks vaguely familiar, though you can't quite put your finger on it.
For a moment you wonder if you're still dreaming and if she's really there, but then you see Elise looming behind her. Your mind snaps back into focus.
$a['What's going on? Who is she...?']
$E['She's no one, tsk. Now hold her.']
Elise pushes the unconscious woman towards you and you instinctively take her in your arms. Her naked body presses against yours and she makes a small movement, settling into an almost lover's embrace.
The spider woman lowers herself behind the newcomer and you suddenly realize exactly what's going to happen. You can see the moment when the woman's expression winces into discomfort as the ovipositor slides inside her and the first egg begins its journey.
(display:"talk")[['W-what am I supposed to do?'->El what do drunk]]<div id="center">$dark</div>

$E['You wanted to be my servant, didn't you? So serve me, girl. You know what to do - just follow your instincts. Soothe her, keep her docile and happy. You know how I like it, tsk.']
You look at the black woman's round green eyes and then back at the girl in your arms. She's young, perhaps in her early twenties. Her complexion reminds you of the people from the village, fair skin and dark hair falling over her full breasts. Under her eyelids you can see her eyes moving faster and faster, as if caught in a bad dream.
The girl twitches again, and suddenly her eyes open, locking into yours. You can see fear, confusion, surprise and arousal. While the two of you are exchanging glances, another bulge slips into her tummy, forcing a groan out of her. As if taken aback by her own reaction, the girl looks down at herself. Her breasts are resting on yours so she probably can't see much, but you have no doubt that a million thoughts are going through her head.

Another egg slides inside the girl and you can feel her full belly twitch, skin pressed against yours, the numerous bulbs pressing from inside and shifting a little to make space for the new ones.
'What's happening to me, where am I...?'
There is rising concern in her voice. Sluggishly, she moves her hands down her body, starting to get a feel for her giant bulge. You can see panic rising in her eyes.

$A[Did Elise pick her up from the inn...? Are we even near the village...?]
There are questions bubbling in your mind, but you push them away, focusing on the present. The girl's naked body feels soft and warm against yours and her kisses bring back distant memories of lust and love.
After a long moment the girl moves her head back and gazes into your eyes. You can see the veil of confusion has already fallen over her. There is a distinct $in[sheen] in her eyes, drool sliding down her chin and sweat covering her skin. Her breathing is quick and shallow, following the pace of the eggs being pumped into her belly. You can feel her expanding in front of your eyes, overwhelmed by madness and pleasure.

The girl seems a bit bewildered by your action, but doesn't resist much. As you wrap around her you can feel her warm boddy shivering, a tension rising and falling with every egg being pushed inside of her.

The drool from your kisses drips in the space between your breasts and hers, all the way down, lubricating your round and bloated tummies rubbing against one another.
With every moan and squirm, you can feel the girl's fate being sealed, her mind drowned in the ecstasy of the moment. And despite all sense and rationality, all you can feel is a deep, unbearable, unrelenting and unashamed arousal.
You run a hand on her bloated belly and you can feel an almost orgasmic sensation. You know exactly what is going to happen to this poor girl and it's driving you insane. Your hand moves even lower, slipping between her legs and beginning to rub her slit, already flowing with juices.

You reach your arms around her and grab her ass with both hands, speading it apart. You can feel the moment when Elise's ovipositor sinks even deeper. The girl moans and her nails dig into your skin. You can feel her belly, firmly pressed against yours, getting rounder and rounder.
A wicked grin plays on your lips. $a['There's a good slut, just take them all...']
You can tell when the moment of realisation hits her and the girl violently pushes away, trying to free herself.
'No, stop! What's going?! I don't want this! Someone, help!' She leaps up, jerking out of your arms. The ovipositors slides out of her and a few eggs are expelled, plopping in a slimy puddle on the ground.

The girl turns around and screams, seeing the giant spider behind her. You hadn't realized when Elise's veil of illusion was broken. The air shifts around her and in a long instant she is the black woman again, staring disapprovingly at her young victim and yourself.

$E['It isn't that simple, tsk.'] replies Elise, her black hands already wrapping a white sheet around the naked skin. $E['She will do, for workers, yes. But I can make plenty of those, now that Mihai's not around. I want *daughters*.]
$a['Daughers?']
$E['Others like me. Intelligent. Resourceful. Powerful.']
Elise has almost finished with the top part of the girl, weaving the beginning of a white coccoon. You can see the girl twitching underneath, her arms and legs making small eratic movements, as if caught in a bad dream.
$a['I'm still not sure I understand...']
Elise rolls the body closer to you, ignoring your question. $E['What do you think, where should her hands go, tsk?']
You look at the helpless girl, considering the implications of your choice.

You take the girl's hands and place them behind her back as Elise begins to wrap another layer of white silk around her. You only need to hold them for a while until the web takes hold and the girl is locked in an utterly defenceless position.
$A[Why am I such a terrible person...]
In her nightmarish sleep, the girl will feel the total loss of control and the complete helplessness as her body is taken for the spider's sinister purposes. You know that she's doomed now, and yet you can't help offering her this final gift of lustful insanity. In many ways, you know exactly how she feels.
As you feel a thin line of juices drip down your thighs, you begin to wonder if you're not doing to her exactly what you want done to yourself. The $a[haze] in your mind rises like a fine mist and your heart pounds faster while the spider woman finished her work.
Eventually, the girl is completely wrapped in a white coccoon, with her hands firmly locked behind her back. There's only a hole left around her mouth and nose, allowing the victim just enough access to air to stay alive. Elise pushes her in your arms again and positions herself on the other side, tearing another small hole in the web just between her legs.
$E['Hold her steady now, girl...']
You can't see very well, but it seems like there's something $E[different] entering the girl this time. Instead of the thick ovipositor, this time it's a longer and thinner tube.
Your vision shifts, the image alternating between a smiling black woman and a giant black spider, body wrapped around the helpless victim. Even through the layers of silk, you can feel the girl's curves and the tiny movements of her body as Elise begins to fill her again.
The scene is an example of perfect $a[submission], and is overwhelmingly hot. You feel a burning sensation in your own bloated belly and the urge becomes irresitible.

(set: $victimHands to "belly")
(display:"heart")[[Touch yourself->touch yourself drunk]]<div id="center">$dark</div>
Your hand slides between your legs and you begin to rub your wet slit, eyes locked on the coccooned girl next to you.
You can almost feel the viscous liquid being injected inside of her, permeating her body, filling every gap of space between and around the slimy eggs stashed in her belly.
It's hard to tell if the girl is awake or asleep, but you follow with a thirsty gaze every one of her tiny movements - every gasp, every pant and grunt, every turn and twist of her body, every twitch of her muscles. You can feel her stretching and expanding to the very brim and then a step more.
(if: $victimHands is "belly")[You can feel the girl's hands grasping at her belly as if trying to press down and prevent the inevitable expansion, to no avail.](else:)[You can tell how the girl is struggling, half conscious, to free her hands from behind her back, only to realize that they can barely bulge an inch.]
After a long minute, the process is finally complete and Elise slides out of the girl, sealing the space between her legs with a fresh sheet of silk.
$E['I suppose this will do, for now. Tsk, tsk. But try to do better with the next one.']
$a['I'm sorry...'] you whimper quietly. $a['Can you explain again what you want me to do?']

Elise sighs, giving you the quivalent of an eye roll, if spiders could roll their eyes.
$E['If I fertilize my own eggs, I can only get lowly workers, tsk. They are good for keeping the lair, but not much for expanding the family.']
$a['So what do you need then? Someone else?']
Elise's black limbs continue to work, rolling the tied girl into a thicker and thicker coccoon.
$E['I need a willing vessel. Someone who understands... and accepts... and invites... the consequences.']
$a['That's - that's really odd. How does that even work? I mean-']
$E['It's the curse of Ariadne,'] interrupts you Elise. $E['It's why there are so few of my kind.'] Elise falls silent for a moment, then turns to you.$E['I was born after a German prince fell in love with my mother, four centuries ago. She asked him to remain pure for a month and meet her at night in the nearby forest. They escaped to her cave, where they made love and then, before he could finish, she pinned him down and filled his belly with her spawn.']
$a['That- must have been quite the surprise...']
$E['You would be surprised what men would go with in the heat of the moment, tsk.'] chuckles Elise. $E['She strung him naked from the ceiling and told him that in a weeks time he'd be free to go, if he still wished it.

So my father said the words willingly, and was rewarded with bliss. For a while. Tsk tsk.]
You shiver at the sinister implication and look down at your own bloated tummy, wondering if you'll end the same. Then you look at the the now fully complete coccoon, barely recognizible as the woman you held not so long ago.

$E['I will take her to gestate,'] states Elise matter-of-factly. $E['Then I will find another one, and we will try again. I hope that next time you will use your charms more wisely, tsk.']
You want to say something back, but the spider woman's attention has shifted entirely to her new prize. She lifts the wrapped victim up in the air and scuttles away to an adjacent part of the cavern.
For a moment, you are left alone.
(display:"goto")[[Get your bearings->cave alone drunk]]<div id="center">$dark</div>
Looking back at her, you can see the fear in her eyes, as well as the lust, the excitement and trepidation. $a['Everything is alright, dear. You will become a mother, as you were always meant to be...']
You continue rubbing her slit and the girl slowly relaxes again, giving in to your affections. You pull her back into your embrace, making sure that she can't see the creature hunched right behind her.
'I don't know if I'm ready', she whimpers. 'Aaah~'
Your fingers plunge deeper into her folds and your movements accelerate, making the girl moan and cling to you helplessly while the eggs continue to be pushed inside of her. $a['There, there, you're a good girl, you can take it...']
For some reason her docile acceptance is only fueling your arousal. You double down on your efforts, stealing louder and louder moans and whimpers from the girl in your arms. $a['Take it, dear, take it **ALL**...']
Elise continues her sinister work, stuffing the girl more and more while you play around and tease her. She's now almost as round and immobile as you are, her slender body completely transformed by the spider.
$E['Make her give in willingly,'] hisses Elise from above. $E['Make her say it out loud!']
'What was that?' asks the girl in a slow and absent way, her voice barely a whisper in your ear. As you lift her face up, you can see in her eyes that she's already gone, her mind plunged too far into the haze of lust and madness.
$a['Don't you worry about a thing, dear.']
The girl gives you a small nod and smiles. 'If you say so... I trust you...'
Your fingers push inside her pussy and she gasps, mouth drooling like a bitch in heat.
(display:"talk")[['Now, repeat after me....'->repeat drunk]]<div id="center">$dark</div>
Looking back at her, you can see the fear in her eyes, as well as the lust, the excitement and trepidation. $a['My dear, you will become such a lovely vessel...']
You continue rubbing her slit as you see her struggle to overcome confusion and make sense of what you just said to her. Her head slowly starts to turn back, trying to catch a glimpse of where the eggs are coming from, but you pull her back into your embrace, making sure that she can't see the creature hunched right behind her.
'I'm scared', she whimpers. 'I don't want this..'
$a['There, there, you're a good girl, you can take it...']
For some reason her fear is only fueling your arousal. You plunge your fingers all the way into her pussy, stealing more moans and whimpers from the girl. $a['Take it, dear, take it **ALL**...']
In an instant, you reach your arms around her and grab her ass with both hands, speading it apart. Her flesh gives in, the girl screams and you can feel the exact moment when Elise's ovipositor sinks even deeper into her ass. The girl's nails dig into your skin. You can feel her belly, firmly pressed against yours, getting rounder and rounder.
A wicked grin plays on your lips. $a['There's a good slut, you will become a wonderful vessel...']
Suddenly realisation hits her and the girl violently pushes away, trying to free herself.
'No, stop! What's going?! I don't want this! Someone, help!' She leaps up, jerking out of your arms. The ovipositors slides out of her and a few eggs are expelled, plopping in a slimy puddle on the ground.
$E['Tsk. What a mess.']
The girl turns around and gives a high-pitched scream, seeing the giant spider behind her. You hadn't realized when Elise's veil of illusion was broken. The air shifts around her and in a long instant she is the black woman again, staring disapprovingly at her young victim and yourself. The bite kisses her neck swiftly and she collapses down at the ground, unconscious.
$E['You shouldn't get so carried away, girl. Keep them docile and calm and leave the rest to me, tsk. Now this one is ruined.']
(display:"talk")[['What do you mean, 'ruined'?'->ruined drunk]]<div id="center">$dark</div>

'Aaaahh~'

'Aah! I give in~'
$a['Do you want to be a mommy?'] you ask, caressing her round and heavy belly, glistening wet from her drool. $a['Do you want to give your body in service of your mistress?'] Your fingers accelerate more and more, going in and out of the poor wreck and rubbing her slit mercilessly.
'Yes, I do! I do!'
You can feel her tensing up, climbing closer and closer to the edge. She's almost there, pushed into insanity by your caresses and the ovipositor filling her guts to the brim.
You catch her pace and let her climb higher and higher, leading up to the brink of her climax. $a['Say it! Pledge it out loud!']
'Aaah! I give my body! I give everything!Aaaah~~ Please use me!'
The girl climaxes, her eyes rolling and entire body shaking and shivering. For a brief moment, you see a strange symbol appear on her belly, before fading away.
$E['Excellent, tsk. Job well done, my pet.']
Elise's fangs kiss the girl's neck and she collapses, her previous euphoria reduced to small twitching movements of her naked body. You look at her, not fully comprehending what had just happened.

You are forced to cum over and over again, until there is no power left in you.
Hope recedes to desperation. The zaps of the machine have broken your body and mind.
<img src="images/tr/scenes/torture3.9.png" width="600" align="right">
$A[I need to get out of here...]
There's no will to resist left in you. You have been beaten and humiliated.
With an evil grin, the man pulls the lever on the machine.
The power surges through your body, amplified tenfold. Every muscle that you have contracts in agony and yet you scream in pleasure, squirting out a jet of liquid on the chair underneath you.
After a few seconds that seem like an eternity, your heart gives up, overwhelmed by the current. Your pain peaks then subsides, your vision blurring.

Moving on to your face, it is also somewhat different - you still have $hair, $eyes, soft white skin and $lips, but your features have changed. It's subtle, but it's there. You are $A[devilishly gorgeous].
On your chest, you can't really tell if your $breasts are the same, but they feel perhaps a little bigger and softer. What does feel different however is you touching them - even from a simple and non-sexual examination of your own body you can feel goosebumps and tingles on your skin, and your nipples are already growing hard.
(if: $second_chance is 1)[$I[As you look at yourself in the mirror, you can see the black tattoo over your womb. It looks like some sort of symbol, but you can't tell what it is.

]Then, there's your mind. You can already sense the $A[haze] and the $A[hunger] creeping back. You remember your last conversation with Felicia.
$A[I should be careful with this... if I use my powers too much, I'll end up like a mindless sex toy...]
You try to ignore that arousing thought. Right now you have more pressing matters. You need to figure why the events from last Tuesday happened, and how you can prevent them.<div id="center">$dark</div>
At this point you know that whatever you do would be totally useless. You spread your legs apart, opening your holes for her.
A thin tube extends from her abdomen and pushes against your asshole, sliding in easily. You can feel it penetrating deeper and deeper until it's all the way in your guts.
Then, the liquid starts injecting.
Being already as round and bloated as you are, you thought that it couldn't get much worse. You were wrong. The thick, viscous stream is forced into you, filling every millimeter of space between the bulbs and making your belly stretch outward even more. You can feel the pressure into your entire body, pushing and compressing organs aside. Your lungs are shoved from within, making your breathing difficult and shallow.
Your head is spinning. Euphoria and madness is washing over you on hot and cold waves, your heart pumping a million miles an hour. You gasp and moan as your body is stretched to the very brink of all physical limits, forced into a grotesque exaggeration of its feminine form.
After a long moment, the process is finally complete. Elise slowly pulls out of you, leaving a last spurt of special liquid, sticky and thick, which seals your entrance for good. You are left laying on your back and gazing at the monstrosity above you, with all of its eggs fimly implanted inside of you.
$E['So what will it be, dear?'] asks Elise, running a black leg along your wet slit. $E['Will you give me a parting present of a daughter?'] She teases your clit, stealing a humiliating moan from you. $E['If it's all the same to you, why not be a good girl and make yourself useful?

$a['Fine, I'll do it..'] you whimper.
$E['Excellent. I knew you were a good find, tsk.']
Elise continues caressing your slit, her black spider legs showing surprising delicacy and dexterity. She gently pulls your folds to the side, exposing the aroused bud that is your clit.
$E['Such a pretty sight... Now, girl, tell me that you want it...']
$a['Please... I'm so close...']
$E['Not yet, tsk. Tell me you'll carry my daughter.']
The helplessness washes over you. You feel small and cornered and alone. Your pussy twitches, close to an orgasm.
$a['I'll do it! I'll be your vessel! I accept willingly!']
Elise's pace accelerates and you can see the same strange symbol beginning to glow over your tummy. Before you can focus on it, your frail consciousness is pushed over the edge and your entire body shakes into a powerful orgasm.
Waves of pleasure and bliss wash over you again and again as you keep shivering. You can feel something inside you changing. You are scared. You are terrified. A second orgasm follows the first.
(display:"goto")[[Pass out->pass out drunk]]<div id="center">$dark</div>

$E['Such a disappointment, tsk. I thought we would go far, you and I. Shame. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider, girl? Things could be much worse for you, you know...']
You give a small, bitter laugh. $a['You've already taken everything, Elise...']
$E['Tsk! You insolent whore! do you know how long I've waited for this?'] She pulls your hair back, forcing you o stare right into her maw, fangs twitching angrily. $E['Very well, if this is your choice...']

$Y['It's very simple,'] she continues. $Y['a drop of youth in a bucket, that's all that ol' gran requires. And after that I will whisper a secret.']
$a['You mean that you want to milk me, just like last time?']
So I'm extending an offer - gain a favor from gran, for an hour of your time. It's a good deal, girl. The best you'll get around 'ere']
The old woman's eyes move to the steaming decoction in front of you, then back to you. Her thin smile looks bemused and you have a hard time deciding if she's being friendly or mocking you.
$A[I'm not at all convinced I can trust her...]
Still, the offer is tempting. You've been through the ordeal once and you know that the process is not permanent. And if you can get some useful information out of her, perhaps it will all be worth it.
The steam blows up around you, creating a pleasant and light-headed sensation. There's a distant warmth in your body and a tingling anticipation around your breasts. You can almost feel the bony fingers reaching yout to squeeze the milk out of your nipples...

The old woman gives a small sigh. $Y['I expected you to know this already, girl. But 'ery well. You will drink your tea and we will go to the barn where ol' gran will squeeze some delightful youthful juices out of you.

$Y['I will leave you to return to your regular state and then I'll fulfil my end of the bargain.'] Shegives you a cheeky smile. $Y['Knowledge, secrets, advice. Ask and ye shall receive. Gran knows all.']

You bow your head and stifle your whimpers. Sweet relief washes over your entire body and you tremble softly in satisfaction every time a strem of milk is squeezed out of you. The other cows in the barn lift their heads, giving you a knowing look, then return to slowly chewing their meals.

$A[What am I getting myself into...]
As you continue your descent, the feeling of vulnerability continues to increase, though you try your best to suppress it, reminding yourself that you've survived worse situations.
Eventually, your feet feel the slimy embrace of muddy soil benath. You've made it to the bottom of the well. You let go of the rope and look around. There's a thin trickle of light coming from above, just enough to shine on the $in[small, glistening object] half-buried in the ground.

As you continue your descent, the feeling of vulnerability continues to increase, though you try your best to suppress it, reminding yourself that you've survived worse situations.
Eventually, your feet feel the slimy embrace of muddy soil benath. You've made it to the bottom of the well. You let go of the rope and look around. There's a thin trickle of light coming from above, just enough to shine on the $in[small, glistening object] half-buried in the ground.
(link:'(display:"goto")Pick up the object')[You reach in the mud and your fingers wrap around something round and hard. As you lift it closer to examine, you see a metal disc that looks like some sort of coin. It has strange engravings that you can't recognize.

As the moonlight intensifies, you can feel something deep inside of you, A Womanly need, a fate and a seal. You can feel two orbs of fire below your belly, burning, yearning in anticipation. A small fragment of sanity still holding in your mind grasps the implications, but it's too late to do naything.
$A[No, no, this can't be happening....]
The bull thrusts in deeper and you can feel your pussy opening, allowing Him to slide all the way in, deeper into your core, deeper into your womb.
His body tenses and for a long moment you know exactly what's going to happen.
You brace yourself. You bite your lip. Your fingers dig into the dirt. Your mind surrenders and you spread even further apart. Waiting. Anticipating. Allowing him in.
Then Jupiter comes.

$a['Aaaahhh~'] It's too late. The deed is done. Your muscles contract and your pussy clenches tightly around the bull's giant member, shaking into a climax that drinks every last drop of his cursed seed.

Consciousness does not come easily. You drift slowly to awareness, waiting for clarity that never comes. Your whole body is aching, tired, bloated and abused. You can tell that you are in a pen, resting your neck on a beam, your big, heavy belly hanging beneath you.
And there is something else. A feeling in your chest, a deep $a[need] that has to be fulfilled. Your breasts are round and heavy, almost ready to burst. You try to do something about it, but you can barely lift your arms and legs from the ground, and when you finally manage to lift one, your hooves just awkwardly press against the sensitive spot.
$Y['Just about ready, aren't you dearie?']
The voice is somehow familiar, but you can't recall where from. The only thing that you know is that you are waiting, begging for relief. A bony hand grabs your tit and squeezes a stream out, producing instant but temporary relief.

You can feel it. The precipice is coming closer and closer. Your pussy opens, gaping and needy, though there's nothing to fill it. You take a step closer to the edge. You're almost there. Her motions accelerate, then she pauses for a second.
$Y['You're such a good little sow, do you know that, girl?'] Then the old woman squeezes harder, sending a large stream of milk gushing out of your inflated breasts.

The climax washes over you like a tidal wave, unbridled by any shame or pretense of modesty. A wet stream of juices shoots out of your pussy, splashing in the hay behind you.

You can feel the siren's sway washing over you like waves, each one pulling you deeper and deeper into her blue eyes. She is dancing, swirling, trying to seduce you. It is her nature, her instinct. Without knowing anything about you, she already wants to pull you into the depths with her.

She continues swirling, smiling and extending a hand towards you. An ethereal melody fills the air and even though you recognize the trap for what it is, you can't help but feel a growing warmth in your belly and a deep-rooted desire to plunge into her embrace.
You carefully consider how to approach the conversation.

The siren seems puzzled by your words and swims a little closer to the surface. This time you can see her tentacles splashing and squirming underneath, though her eyes keep drawing your gaze like endless saphire wells.

$a['Lavius told me tales of you,'] you giggle and wink at her, leaving an intentional implication hang in the air. $N['You must be **so** important to him...']
Something flashes in her eyes and her tentacles twitch, before resuming their underwater dance.
$N['So my love has found a new toy it seems...'] Her smile blossoms again and she beckons you with a finger. You see her radiant and beautiful, her song filling the chamber, her face smooth and angelic as a goddess. $N['Come, girl, tell me all about it...']
The heat in your belly flares up and you find yourself leaning over the surface of the water. You have to act quickly.

She stirs herself towards the surface and suddenly you find yourself face to face with those beautiful eyes. You remember her salty embrace, and the forbidden pleasures that it brings.
Narcissa smiles and every so slightly drifts deeper. You find your body following suit and inching downwards to chase her. She drifts again, her eyes pulling you down, down into the song, into her lips, into the depths...
$A[No, no, no....]
By the time you realize what's going on, it's too late. You lose your balance and fall farward head first. Her extended hand catches yours and yanks you down, and you find yourself [[underwater]].

She stirs herself towards the surface and suddenly you find yourself face to face with those beautiful eyes. You remember her salty embrace, and the forbidden pleasures that it brings.
Narcissa smiles and you smile back. You push your top aside and shamelessly let your $breasts hang out, just above the surface of the water. You can feel a deep-rooted power in you. Your belly burns hot, but this time it's not the heat controlling you, but you channeling the heat.
Ever so slowly, Narcissa comes closer and closer, until finally the top of her head reaches the surface and she breaks above water.
$a['Hello, gorgeous,'] you smile devilishly, licking your lips. Not giving her a moment to think, you wrap your arm around her waist and pull her up towards you, giving her a passionate kiss. Your naked breasts are rubbing against each other while salt water drips down her skin.
After the longest moment, you finally pull away from her mouth, allowing her to take a much needed breath. The poor siren looks at you with the deepest confusion you have ever seen.
$N['That was--- I-']
$a['I told you we should get to know each other,'] you wink at her.
Narcissa looks at you, then her cheecks blush a deep red and she dives back into the depths, leaving nothing but bubbles behind her.

You bend over some more. The siren's song is mezmerizing, but you still have enough control of your senses. You look into her eyes and pretend to be under her spell, swaying gently with her melody.
$a['You are so beautiful...']
She smiles and waves a finger for you to join her, but you pretend not to see it, giggling and drooling with a dumb grin on your face. After a few moments, she stirs herself closer towards the surface, trying to beckon you again:$N['Come, girl, join me....']
$a['Your hair is all floaty....'] you blabber, still smiling stupidly.
Frustrated, Narcissa floats closer still, her tentacles reaching up to grab you. At the last moment, you swing and she grasps empty air, her tentacles falling over the edge of the box.
Not skipping a beat, you slam the lid down, pinching her tentacles in place. $a['Ha! Thought you had me, didn't you?']
Narcissa howls with pain and fury, wriggling angrily to free herself.
$N['What do you want, vile demon? To humiliate me?!']
$a['I only wanted to talk, you're the one who tried to drown me!'] you spit right back at her.
Narcissa looks at you, furious. She is suddenly ugly, long teeth sticking out of her gaping maw.
$N['I'll have you, just you wait!']
With a final effort, she manages to squeeze out of the pinch and dives back into the depths, leaving nothing but bubbles behind her.

Your focus shifts and you find yourself enthralled in her angelic aura once again. Narcissa floats closer still, her tentacles slowly drifting around her, elegant and serene. How can you not look at them?
$A[So pretty....]

You feel completely helpless as your legs are being spread apart. The siren's tentacles are much stronger than you, leaving you no room for resistance. With great effort you manage to twist your head back, staring wide-eyes into the hideous maw of an angler fish, positioning ominously towards your opening.

$N['I will give you pleasure you've never even dreamt of...']
As the pace accelerates, you give in completely. There's no point fighting it now. Narcissa holds you firmly in place as the two tentacles ravage your holes, combining and alternating, teasing and stretching.
The water around you seems to darken as the oxygen in your lungs runs out, but even so the intense sensations cause your eyes to roll over.
You are clinging for life, hopelessly, and yet you find yourself battling the seconds not to live, but to reach something while you're still here, a forbidden pleasure that you so desperately need.

She finally wraps a tentacle around your throat, squeezing hard. Your body tenses and the tentacles speed up, wriggling violently inside you. In your last moments a powerful orgasm washes over you, shattering your mind and body.

You try to focus on the moments when **you** took control of the situation. Your $in[golden eyes] begin to shine brighter and for a moment the song seems to fade and you feel some small semblance of control returning.
Annoyed, Narcissa doubles her efforts. A moist tentacle caresses your cheek. You whip your $in[tail], pushing it away. Eyes locked into each other, the battle for control intensifies.
$a['You are not the only enchantress here, Narcissa...!']
Another tentacle slides between your legs, trying to rub you. The wave of pleasure begins to creep upwards to your belly.

You grab Narcissa by the throat, stifling her melody. Her tentacles wriggle violently and she chokes and spits at you, but the spell is broken. You can move freely again, and so can everyone else.
Focusing your sudden strength, you dash towards the box and throw her into the depths. Water splashes all around the dungeon floor and you quickly close the lid, sealing her away.
$R['It's overh, boy,'] comes a low, hissing voice. As you turn around, you see the Elder gripping Lavius again, but this time the flamboyant vampire seems resigned to his fate. He barely lifts an arm up to protect himself as the creature pounds him into the wall. As the dust settles Lavius falls to the floor, caughing up blood.
$R['Take themh all to the dhungeon... to await trialh...']
Mihai picks up Lavius and begins to drag him away. A quick and fiery look from the Elder prods the wolf to stand down and follow suit willingly, head bowing down. Finally, the Elder turns to you.

The thought comes to you naturally and you quietly acknowledge the reality of your situation. You have changed so much that you begin to question if returning back would even feel right at this point.

$R['Come, girl... take my hand...']
His arm is outsretched, long, muscular and crude. Your small palm is like a child in his, delicate and fragile. He takes it without hesitation and in an instant you are pulled towards the vampire as he presses you against his chest. Then he leaps into the air, slowly flapping his wings. Both of you are suspended in the darkness of the tower, the bones and skulls merging into a grim tapestry below.
You cling against his torso, instinctively digging your nails in to make sure that you don't fall. But then you realize that you couldn't even if you wanted to, as he can effortlessly keep you even with one arm. You feel a strange mixture of being safe and owned, two sides of a single coin, the token of your servitude to the strange entity.
As soon as the initial fear and shock of your flight wears off, you feel something poking between your legs. You can't look down, but you know what it is - and it feels so big. After a moment of hesitation, you know what you must do.

There is a determination in his eyes that scares you, but you are too transfixed to look away. His hand extends, a massive palm fastening around your throat. He doesn't grip you, not yet, instead just resting his fingers, coarse and strong, his claws caressing your jugular.
$R['Do not whorry, my servanth... I will makhe you strongh...']

$M['So what now, my little human? What is it that you truly **want**? Be honest with yourself... and take it']
Thoughts are swarming your head like angry crows. You have gotten so used to things happening **to** you that the sense of control and choice is almost overwhelming. Yet it's also deeply liberating. Your $in[tail] waves happily.
There are many things you can do now. Felicia is right next to you, patiently waiting. But you are also starting to understand the lesson that she's trying to teach you. It's okay to give and it's okay to receive. Even if you want to submit to her, that's still something that you can **take**, that can still be done from a position of control... in a way.
It's a weird concept, but you're trying to wrap your mind around it. Being blindflolded in the darkness is odly useful to shed the layers of shame.
You hesitate.

You push Felicia over, climbing on top of the cat as best you can despite your lack of vision. You are following your natural desires like a glowing thread, a direction that is not becoming clearer. You move up until your legs are on both sides of her head. What you are about to do would have been unthinkable, up until now. Now you are about to do it.
A shiver runs down your spine as you stop in a moment of anticipation.
$M['It's okay. Come as you are,'] her voice reassures you once again.
You begin lowering your hips, your pussy wet, dripping and ready. Suddenly you feel her mouth touch your folds. It's just like you imagined it, but better. Her tongue, wet and coarse, begins licking you, each time gently pulling on your sensitive parts, as if tiny hooks are tugging on your flesh.
$a['Aaaaah!~'] you moan in pleasure, sinking even lower.
She continues her exploration, lick after lick, until suddenly her tongue pushes inside of you, parting your folds and following the sweetness of your juices. Your head is spinning and your breath starts coming in short. Your fingers dig into her curls. They feel so soft. Soon enough your hips start moving back and forth, synchronizing the pace with her. The $A[heat] is building higher and stronger in your belly. You want more. You **need** to have more.

Felicia is wearing a skirt, one which you easily manage to lift up. Part of you regrets not being able to take in the sight, but going blind has its own share of excitement. You lean in and taste her. She is everything that you could have imagined, and so much more.
Part of you wants to dive in and ravage her, but you manage to control yourself. Though "control" isn't the right word. You try to listen to yourself, to your heart, to your desires, to what's really deep inside. And right now you want to $A[**submit**].
$M['It's okay,'] she whispers again, as if reading your thoughts. $a['I know. Thank you.']
You give her a long, slow lick, taking the taste in. Then you angle yourself lower still, chest against the bed, and rise your ass in the air. You can feel the burning in your belly intensify and you spread your legs, as if showing your yearning pussy to an imaginary audience.
Another slow lick fills your mouth with bitter-sweet delight, with a female fragrance and elegance. There is a light fur around her entrance that tickles your lips. You continue your work, cherishing every moment and kindling your own desire higher and higher.
After several minutes, you can tell you are getting close to the edge. The path of your true needs is reaching a conclusion, one only you can truly find.

$M['What a brave girl you are. Well done.']
Her voice is soft and gentle. You resume your work as her hand begins to squeeze, slowly tightening your airways. Your tongue accelerates and your pussy quivers in neediness. But it is a good need. It's not something lacking, it's exactly how you want it. How things should be.
Felicia squeezes harder and your head begins to spin. You bury deep in her pussy and surrender to giving her pleasure, to serving her. Your needs are her needs.
Suddenly her back arches in pleasure and a gush of hot juices spurts all over you. Then she squeezes harder, pushing your head in. You drink them greedily, licking every last drop.
Suddenly, you are there. You just know it. The place you've been searching for.

Feeling your pussy burning with need, you press against her, finding her slit, wet and waiting. You begin to rub against her, slowly and forcefully, a deep extasy running though your veins.
$a['Aaah!~~']
As your whimpers echo softly, you realize that you've never rubbed against a girl before. It feels strange but incredibly fulfilling. You can feel every part of her, and with a few precise motions of your hips, your bud finds hers, rubbing together in a symphony of pleasure.

You close your eyes again and experience peace.
Time must have passed, for when you open them again, your wings have vanished back, though you can feel them as an ethereal presence, just waiting to sprout out again. Felicia gives you another kiss, then gets up.

You decide to embrace the $in[fear] fully. Your pussy clenches around him and you feel your muscles pulsating rhythmically, squeezing and pulling, asking, begging, for his seed.
The Elder groans and you double your efforts, head spinning and belly aching. You know what's going to come. You know the dangers. And that makes it all the sweeter. As you look around, you realize that your head is right between two skulls. Staring into their empty sockets drives you crazy.
With a powerful thrust, you push your ass all the way back, stretching your opening and swallowing his shaft to the brim. You can feel something deep inside of you opening, welcoming him.
$a['I'm ready,'] you whimper, pushing your legs even further apart.
Something warm and thick gushes inside of you, crowning your efforts with success. You can physically feel your womb filling up, draining and preserving everything from him. As you scream in pleasure, $in[two giant black wings] blossom from your back, spreading left and right.
$in[Your transformation is complete.]
$R['Whell dhone, my little whore...']
The Elder gets up and extends a hand, bringing you up on your feet, where you wobble gently. t The succubus power surges through you, fuelling a wave of confidence and euphoria.
$R['Now you are readhy... We shall meet tonight...']
You bow to the Elder, then take your leave, belly full, smile on your face, and cum dripping down your thighs.

As usual, you see $in[Lavius' room] on the right, a purple door with a golden handle. Then there is the other door, black with a silver handle - the door to $in[Sabrina's room].

You pause your step, standing awkwardly for a moment before making a small cough. $a['I--- I hope I'm not interrupting?']
Sabrina turns around and her face immediately lights up in a broad grin. $S['Sis! Those are some wicked horns! Gimme just a moment here...']
She lifts the girl from the bed and you can see that she's also blindfolded and gagged, red curls falling down her naked breasts.

Thick air fills your lung, saturating them with $O[lust and decay]. The *hum* above your head has reached a plateau and you begin to wonder if the chaotic cacaphony does not hold some sort of deeper meaning.
$A[Is it... talking to me?]
As the thought crosses your mind, more tendrils descend around your head. You can feel them weaving through your hair, wrapping around your neck, and narrowing down on your open orifices.
Before you have time to scream, (link-reveal:"the tendrils slide in.")[
The struggle is brief, but visceral. They squirm and wiggle their up your nostrils and down your throat. They slide in your ears and your brain and your soul. Your body shivers violentely, though the restraints are holding you firmly in place. Then the hum begins to morph and pulsate, vibrations forming patterns and patterns forming words, until finally meaning emerges, beamed directly into your consciousness.
$O['It is so very rare to have a visitor. Welcome, my vessel.']

Before you know it, there is more chitinous cracking and something presses between your legs, prodding your entrance.

You enter the temple grounds again, naked statues lining your way, frozen in expressions of ecstasy and maddness. Sabrina is walking by your side, her presence a silent catalyst to your resolve.
$A[What must be done must be done....]
As soon as your steps echo in the main hall, Mira emerges from her chamber, strutting along happily. She approaches you eagerly, but you raise a hand.
$a['Sit,'] you say with a deep, commanding voice. The young Bruxa immediately obeys, kneeling at your feet.
$S['Good girl. Now put this on.'] Sabrina extends a black cloth towards her and the bruxa eagerly puts the blindfold on. $S['Good. Now give me your hand.']
Sabrina takes Mira towards the Altar, where she is placed upright, facing you with legs slightly apart. $S[Spread your arms up!]
As she obeys, Sabrina mutters a few incantations and the statues on either side reach for the Bruxa, grabbing her hands and immobilizing her in place. Blind and bound, she has no way to resist her fate.
$S['The time has come. You know what you must do. Choose.'] She places two items next to the Altar, stepping aside for you to take her place.

Sabrina smiles at you. $S['I have just two for the moment, her and one other girl... but if the project is successful we might have more, one day.']
There's a glint in her eye that you haven't seen before. Sabrina has always seemed cheerful and somehow... nice. But you can catch a glimpse of something else under the surface now, something different. Is that Ambition for power? Pride of her accomplishments? Loyalty to Lavius? You can't quite tell, and you feel that asking directly would not serve you at the moment.

$a['I do, you're right... but I'm sure this won't take long. I'm just so curious.']
$S['Fine, fine,'] she sighs. $S['Have it your way. I'm sure a little peak wouldn't take too long...']

You take a moment to compose yourself in front of the bound girl. The Bruxa is breathing heavily, her chest rising up and down under her scant clothing.
Somewhere behind you, Sabrina starts chanting again. You can feel the flow of power surge through you. Suddenly the entire temple feels alive, as if connected with you through an invisible network of blood and sinue. It flows through the statues, through the floor and into your legs and lungs and heart. Are the statues innanimate objects awakend by magic? Or are they living souls petrified in eternal service?
The thought sends a shiver down your spine, but no is not the moment for hesitation.
$A[Strength, Alexandara... Strength... and Power!]
The **Power** flows to you with each breath. Deep, primal, lustful, wild, chaotic, carnal. A thousand goddesses screaming in orgasmic pleasure as they saddle their servants, willing mouths drinking their juices before divine hips crush their skulls, mixing the blood and the bile in a cocktail fit for those who transcend morality.
It's time for you to tap into the source.
You look at the two objects that Sabrina has left for you.

They are almost like tiny insects, with many sharp legs and a strange body. Instinctively, you understand their purpose and it makes you shiver.

You grab one of her breasts and press the contraption against her nipple. Behind you, Sabrina's chanting accelerates. You can feel the primal power of the altar surgung through you. Your heart is racing. The source is opening and you are blown away by the raw energy. It's not a stream, it's a torrent. Now you understand Sabrina's words - it really is sink or swim. There is no middle ground. You either have to fall to your knees in total submission or rise above and take charge.
$Tem[Do you have what it takes?]
Your hand rises and you grab the bruxa by the throat. She makes a surprised squeal. You press the $Tem[Eternal Anguish] more firmly against her breast and feel as something begins to dig into her skin. The two statues are holding her hands firmly. She's at your disposal.

The underground passage seems to be sloping deeper and deeper down. The laboratory was already underneath the hunting hut and not it feels like you're diving deeper still. Looking at the walls, you can see light color variations between newer stones and much more ancient ones.
Eventually the passage ends with a gaping entrance that spills into a larger chamber. Sabrina waves you to follow then disappears in.

$Aa['Woah....']
You can barely believe what you're seeing, it looks so different from the style of the laboratory above.
$S['Mira, come here!'] echoes Sabrina's voice, interrupting your thoughts. A girl emerges from the shadows behind the statues and struts forward, falling on her knees in front of the vampire. $S['Good girl.'] Sabrina gives her a pat on the head. $S['Well, there she is. Oogle away, sis.']

$S['You flatter me, sis,'] blushes Sabrina. $S['We didn't make **ALL** of it, the temple was already here, though I did have a hand in the, shall we say, decoration...']
You examine the statues again, wide-eyes with wonder. They look incredibly real, down to the ropes and chains. $a['This is simply astonishing...']
$S['I knew you'd have an eye for this sort of thing.']
You turn to the altar. It is some steps away, but you can feel a soft power emanating from it. The symbols etched in the stone are far from dormant - you can swear someof the edges are gently moving in the stone, like magical seaweed trapped in the waves of this reality. Trying to focus on them creates a funny feeling at the back of your head, so you abruptly shake your gaze away and back to your new friend.
The Bruxa awaits patiently on her knees, silent and attentive.

Another slap equalizes both sides and the bruxa bows her head down, returning to still silence.

$S['She is a **servant**. And I don't mean that as a decriptor of her function. It's who she **is**. Deep down, at her core. She was created to **serve**.

$A[Am I.... crushing on her?]
The thought apepars uninvited and leaves you almost shocked. Seeing another female patiently on her knees is a novel experience. You reach out and pull her collar. Mira obediently slides forward and falls in your feet, awaiting orders.

Sabrina flicks her crop, pushing the girl's chin up with the tip. $S['Emilie, fix my straps.']
Immediately, the girl springs up and begins methodically going through each and every one of Sabrina's straps and belts, loosening and tightening them to make sure that the tension is even on all sides. After a few minutes she kneels again, awaiting further instructions.
$S['Good girl. Drink.'] Extending her wrist, Sabrina offers it to the Bruxa, who bites eagerly, suckling a few drops of blood down her throart. $S['That's enough.']
Turning to you, Sabrina shows the two small openings on her wrist. $S['Feeding them after a task well done reinforces the bond. It doesn't have to be much, but consistency is the key.

Your calm, commanding voice seems to soothe the Bruxa. Her body relaxes and you can feel a warm stream of juices between her legs. It's time to (link-reveal:"put the second one on.")[(set: $mira_frustrate to 1) (rerun:?scene)
You take the second $Tem[Eternal Anguish] and press it firmly against her other breast. The cold metal legs dig into the soft skin, piercing her nipple and lodging the thing firmly against her. Mira gives a soft squeal, stifled by your grip on her throat.
$a['Hush, now comes the best part']
$Mira['Y-yes mistress....']
The power surges through you again and you feel the temple, the statues, the alter and you as one. You direct the energy onto your willing victim and the $Tem[Eternal Anguish] hanging on her breasts.

(if: $miraRel <2)[The bruxa's eyes glimmer with excitement. She begins rubbing her slit, her leags spread to make sure that you have a great view. As you see her nearing closer o the edge, you lean in to kiss her, your hand feeling the moisture of her juices.
$a['There's a good girl...']
As her back arches in pleasure, you can feel part of her energy transfer to you. It isn't quite enough to recharge a full bead, but it does help subside your $a[hunger] somewhat.

$Mira['May I, Mistress...?']
$a['You may,'] you smile benevolently. She gets on top of you, rubbing her pussy against yours. You can feel her wet juices and her excitement. She gives you a full on show and you happily squeeze her breasts and twist her nipples as she cums repeatedly, before falling in your arms.
This time you can feel the full strength of her climax, a new $cri[crimson beam] blossoming on your wrist.]Shy and reserved, the other bruxa starts touching herself, but you can tell that having an audience is more disrtacting than encouraging for her. After some initial struggles, Mira jumps in, helping her friend.
$Mira['Come on, Emilie, you need to show Mistress how much you enjoy her presence...']
With Mira's help, Emilie finally manages to fulfil her task, though it's far from sufficent to recharge your bracelet. You manage to get a little bit of energy to saciete your $a[hunger], but that's all.
$A[Perhaps I need to find a better purpose for this one....]<div id="center">$T[-TEMPLE-]</div>

$Mira['Yes, Mistress!'] beams the bruxa. She crawls to your feet and begins licking and kissing them. Her lips slowly move up your legs and thighs, briefly stopping on your pussy, before moving up.
Mira spends minutes showering your entire body with adoration. You close your eyes and appreciate the moment, She is earnest in her endeavours, though also seems to be getting distracted with the pleasures of the flesh.
