Maintaining Balance ((Closed for Ausus_girl13))

[ShireWolfe]

1712, AD, France. The homeland of the Rennesancé. The city of light, one of the greatest powers in Europe, a truly mighty empire, with colonies in both the southern continent of Africa, the Far East, and the New World. A city of enlightenement, a city of science, art, litterature. A city of liberties. A city where anyone could find their heart's delight. From a cheap down-town whore, to the highly expensive courtesans of the nobles. A city long since freed from the tyranny of superstition.

And yet, somewhere within the vast sprawl of the city of Paris, there was someone bent on destroying all which the Rennesancé had brought, and bring back the superstition of the past. Indeed, this person was plotting far more than just sending the city of Paris back into the dark ages. For this person was in possession of dark, forbidden knowledge. Knowledge which was fiercely guarded, knowledge locked away from prying eyes and mortal minds. How this person had obtained the knowledge was a mystery. But their goal, oh their goal was all too clear.

For thousands of years, the Human race has been aware of a world beyond their own, known by many names. The Fay, Valhalla, Shangri La, Hades, Gehenna, and most recently: Heaven and Hell. And for an equal amount of time, there have been creatures that have crossed over from this other world, into the mortal world in which we dwell, to help, to inspire, to guide, but also to entice, destroy, rape, and wreak chaos. But as the years progressed, and the Human understanding of the Otherworld grew, so did their powers against it. Eventually, this lead to the founding of the Order.

The Order's first and foremost goal is to safeguard Humanity from the perils of the Otherworld. To do this, they seek out the creatures which pass over from the Otherworld to that of the Mortal world, and defeat them. But also to collect and root out hard fact and evidence on the Otherworld, it's denizens, and how to contact it. But as time grew on, it was clear that part of the Order's goal was a failure: To keep Humans away from the Otherworld.

For some reason, the Otherworld allways managed to reach out to certain people. Maybe they were born with a gift to see into the world where no Human should ever know, maybe the Otherworld itself was concious. There was no way to tell. But the taint of the Otherworld -allways- returned to plague the world.

To counter this, the Order divided itself in two. The Fraternity, whom would devote themselves to combatting the Otherworld and it's denizens directly, and the Sisterhood, with it's Five Schools, to eliminate those in the Mortal World whom manages contact with the Otherworld, and seeks to ruin the balance.

And now, with one such person located within Paris, the Sisterhood has sent two of it's operatives, each trained in different Schools, to track, and destroy the Taint in Paris.

Skadi

Skadi

Training: Sororitas Malleus, Adeptus Arcana

Apperance: Lean, tall, girlish in figure, and dark-haired, Skadi would have been considered a beauty by many, if not for the disturbing silver colour of her eyes. Her soft and gentle face is often twisted into a grim expression, or one of innocent curiosity.

Her ample chest is hidden underneath the customized armour and clothes of the Sororitas Malleus, all blacks and silvers, which goes well with her skin. If the form-hugging and vaguely erotic design of the armour is a concious choice, is unknown, though at times, one can almost glimpse bits of delicious skin underneath the wrappings of clothes.

The clear, crystaline, orbs on her gauntlets can sometimes also be seen glowing. Silvery blue if she channels the powers of the Arcana, and a dark red, with swirls of black, if channeling the powers of her inner Demon.

Personality: Skadi is often considered to be a maveric and reckless. Once sent on a hunt, she will remain locked on her target, going to any lenghts to eliminate her objective, often caring little about stealth, subtlety, or anyone whom might be caught in the cross-fire.

That is not to say she isn’t dispassionate or carefree. Indeed, she is fiercely loyal to the Order for having raised her, and the Sisterhood for having trained her, and given her power. On more than one occasion, she has been known to risk the success of a mission to rescue a fellow Sister in need, and has been known to have been romantically involved with at least two members of the Sisterhood in the past.

History: Like many of the Sisters whom joins the Order, Skadi is an orphan, delivered to one of the Order’s many orphanages located throughout Europe. There she was raised, fed the Order’s strictures, propaganda, and beliefs as she grew from a young child, into a young woman.

At the age of thirteen, she was sent from the Orphanage to a stronghold of the Order, where she began training, learning how to fight, speak in many different languages, the sciences that governs the world, how to seduce members of the same and the opposite sex, the secrets of the Veil and the world beyond, and how to recognize those in this world influenced by it’s immense powers.

An adept learner, Skadi had allways relished challenges, and the Order did just that. Challenge her. Each round of combat training threatening to be her last. They pushed her, physically, and mentally, until she could be pushed no further. Then, she was to choose. To pick which of the Five Schools of the Sisterhood she would follow. The Sororitas Puirtas; which relished combat and physical perfection above all else. The Sororitas Arcana; the keepers of arcane knowledge, and wielders of immense magic. The Sororitas Eros; the seducers, using their bodies and charms to take them where no magic, guile, nor stealth could bring others to reach their targets. The Sororitas Illuminati: The Guardians of Knowledge and Science, the ones whom prefer to use the advancements in technology to defeat their enemies and eliminate the targets of the Order. Or the Sororitas Malleus; The Demon-Bound sisters, the one whom fights an eternal battle within themselves to maintain the balance for their mind and soul, just as they use their demonic powers to preserve the Balance between this world and the next.

In the end, it was no choice for Skadi. She made her choice, and after three harrowing nights of rituals, chants, magic, and many a scream later, she emerged a member of the Sororitas Malleus. Demon-Bound.

Demon: From the writings of Chronicler Arbdulus Il-Peth - “This Demon, as depicted here, is known to the Archives of the Order only as Ne’thariffitha, first observed in the land of Egypt, during the reign of the Pharoes, possessing a female member of the Egyptian nobility, and threatening to open a gateway from Egypt to the Otherworld. While capable of immense physical prowess, and in possession of all the powers of your average Demoness (see “Demoness” in the Codex Malleus for more information), Ne’thariffitha also displayed an ability to inflame Desires within the souls of Men and Women. I speak not of pure carnal lust, as many seem to think that is all a Demoness desires, and while this is often more true than not, a Demoness with the ability to inflare Desires is far more dangerous. She will appeal to your greatest desire. Be it carnal pleasures, power, wealth, or a funny hat. And she will strike deals to grant you your Desire, but allways in return for a cost far, far, too great. In the end, the Demon was sealed by members of our Order, but not without several losses on our end as well. I pity whomever shall be bonded to this vile creature in the distant future.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frowning, Skadi looked down upon the city of Paris, the countless dots of lights lighting up the night sky, and giving the residents below a feeling of security and comfort. At some level in the Human psyché, they all still remembered that once, there had been deadly things that went bump in the night.

Shaking her head, and sending dark hair flying, the Assassin of the Order mused at how ironic it was for her Target to hide here, in the city of enlightenement, while seeking to plunge the world back into darkness and chaos. Still, none of that mattered to her. Nothing mattered, except finding, and destroying her Target.

As she closes her eyes to communicate to the being locked within her, she shudders, fighting against it's wiles to remain in controll of her own mind.

<So, you come to beg for my powers once more, child? Why should I heed your call this time? Hmm? What could you possibly offer me, that I can not take for myself?>

While she could never truly -see- the Demon locked within her, she could feel it's amusement, she could almost feel the grin streching over it's face. Like allways, it sought to toy with her, to make her uneasy, to find a gap in which to use for her escape, to take controll.

<You will be silent, and lend me your powers, Demon, as you know you must, if you wish to hold any hope of returning to your precious Otherworld. If not, my Sisters will seal you away for another thousand years, for another, more willful and stubborn Sister to be bound to you. Just be glad I allow you to experience what I do, and sate your Desires on that.>

Obviously, the Demon did not feel like arguing the case any further, and instead gave in, allowing Skadi to call upon the powers locked away inside her, and with a shudder and a moan that almost seemed erotic, dark, bat-like wings sprouted from her back as she leaped off the tower and took flight, soaring far above the lights of Paris, in search of her Target.

Maia
Training- Sororitas Eros Adeptus Illuminati

Appearance- Tall, and curvy, with raven dark hair and bright blue eyes, Maia has a winning smile for all of those around her. Trained in the courtly arts, it is often hard to discern exactly what she might be thinking, her only tell is to be had in the glitter of her blue eyes.

Her softness is beguiling and she is always sporting in the highest of fashions. Her body is her power and she is lithe, contained, and exquisite. Everything she wears doubles as weapons and she has been known to leave her victims swathed in silk bindings, their last breath one of ecstasy.

Personality- To excel at her position in the sisterhood, Maia must be charming and witty at all times. She is very aware of the fact that she is in the precarious position of courtesan and assassin, and she must obey the whims of her liege, the Queen of France and the rules and intrigue of the Order.

Called L’anguisette by the members of the court who have played with her, she only lets down her guard when she is playing. Maia relishes the pain which can make her harder to take down. She moves effortlessly through the upper echelons of society, she is well known and well trusted.

Maia was given to the Order by her parents, she was the 12th child and they could not afford to feed another mouth. So, after she was weaned she was taken to the Cloister of the Order and left on their door step with a note from her mother. She grew up much like the other girls, with discipline and the sheltered existence of living in the Sisterhood. She considers the women of her order her family and is fiercely protective of them.

Her school of choice, Eros was handed to her when she was found seducing one of her teachers for a better mark. Trained in the Arts of Tantra, Kajira, and La Courtier Francaise, she was also trained in La Danse Ballet and Oriental Dance. She has danced for the court before and is very well versed in the entertainment and seduction of both men and women. There are very few at court who have not attempted to curry her favor in order to join her in bed.

Her second choice, Illuminati was also decided for her when she used the boning in her corset to free herself from a room she had been locked in for punishment. Maia can turn almost any object into a tool for pain or pleasure against her enemies and friends. She has recently been studying the effects of different natural poisons, and whether they are better ingested or simply put onto objects for the intended victim to touch.

The combination of toys and love for Maia was a simple one and she relishes every assignment with diligence and a smile upon her lips. Silently, she tracks her intended leaving a trail of their accomplices’ cold.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​

Maia was swept around the room by Lord Aritas, she glanced darkly over his shoulder at the glittering surroundings, surveying who might know of her Mark. She surveyed the audience and found one who might be wanting some of her more darker attentions. When the waltz ended she curtseyed en arrière , the bend exposing her cleavage only slightly to the burly Lord before her, she let herself blush as she stood, so that he would see it and think her an innocent. Inwardly, she laughed at his manly naiveté.

She turned towards the watching crowd, her burgundy and black beribboned bustle trailing behind her. This night she wore the colors of her school proudly, as it was a night to commemorate the separation of the orders and every person in the kingdom who could afford it was in attendance. She mentally checked off the list of accomplices to her mark, and found that only one of them was in attendance. The skin crawlingly irksome Baron Ennuyer, Maia knew that but a moment in la salle de bain, would be enough to loosen his tongue and dispatch him quickly, but perhaps leaving him dead now would show her hand.

Squaring her shoulders she approached him, flitting from clique to clique, making eye contact then looking away embarrassed, when she finally made it into his sphere, she simply held out her hand.
"Aimes-tu danser Monsieur?" she asked in a lilting voice. When he took her hand and led her to the floor, she kept the conversation light and witty.
"Monsieur, thank you for dancing with me, I am exceedingly glad to see you again. I have heard that your master is in town, perchance have you seen him? I have not played with him in months and I simply must invite him over" she said gaily.

"My master?" the Baron repeated stiltedly, as he had been staring down at her chest as the music played, he was even more distracted at her intake of breath, "Oh he is, he is in Montrouge, Mademoiselle."

"Oh merci!" she placed her hand on her skirt raising it as the dance called for, lightly fingering the poisoned button there, she was immune to it, but he was not. When he swept her around the room she touched her hand to his neck, and knew that in a couple of days, the man would never dance again. Meanwhile, she had a place to investigate- her mark would not live long.

 

[ShireWolfe]

Soaring over the city, Skadi swooped low, and released her hold on the bond which supported her wings, letting her fall onto a rooftop below as she came in for a rolling landing. Once back on her feet, she smirked. One advantage of the Sororitas Malleus, was to be able to feel where the veil between the mortal world and the Otherworld was weakest, like a shark smelling blood in the water. And now, that trail had lead her to the Montrouge.

Frowning, she glanced around. The scent of the Otherworld was strong here, but... diluted, somehow. Diffused. It made her senses stand on edge as she crept along the rooftops, keeping away from the oil-lamps and torches below, that would give her away. Never in her service to the Order had she felt anything that could obscure her demon's sense of the Otherworld. It was like making a fish oblivious to the water around it.

"Oh great... this is only going to get better, isn't it?" She muttered under her breath as she ran across the rooftops, growling under her breath at the fact that she might be entering a very dangerous place, with her trumph card crippled like this. And without the Demon's sense of the Otherworld to guide her, she would have to rely on more old fashioned ways to discover her prey.

Kneeling at the edge of a rooftop, Skadi peered down into the streets, finding them mostly deserted at this time of night, and most windows were shuttered, and no light came from within. Though, after a while her search eventually paid off. There, the tall building on the corner. Why would there be armed guards stationed outside at this hour, especially ones armed with brand new muskets.

Skadi sighed. Not only did she have to face armed mortals, but also mortals armed with muskets. She truly despised those things. To kill without getting close to your enemy, without looking them in the eye, without risk? And not to mention that they were bloody -loud-! No, if it was up to her, Skadi would see a future without muskets. But sadly, the assassins of the Order had little they wanted to say about politics and technological progress, when it wasn't advanced by the Illuminati, of course.

Returning her focus to the guarded building, her frown began to deepen as she saw armed guards patroll the rooftops as well. She couldn't rightly take the front door, not dressed like this, at this time of night. Sighing, the Assassin was about to leap off the side of the building to reach the street level, as she heard a horse and carrige approach in the distance.

 

[Ausus_girl13]

Maia had a place but there was no way she could use her carriage or staff to get her there. Pulling out her fan and waving it gently, she gave the impression of a tired young miss, but she was alert to the movements of the people around her, and their body language. She was searching for a sign, someone who desired her this evening, suddenly her eyes found what she was looking for.

Elegantly she moved towards the woman with the kohl around her eyes, the woman was wearing black and had been staring at Maia all night. Maia curtseyed en avant holding up her fan, swishing it slowly before she stood, keeping her eyes downcast.

"Lady de Rosé, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance finalement." she said quietly as she looked up from under her eyelashes. The woman standing in front of her, had been perhaps a beautiful woman at one time, but the years had not been kind to her, as she had lost her sons when they had sailed for the New world, and she had recently lost her husband, hence the reason for her black garb.

"Sister Maia, la plaisir est pour moi. It is good to see you here. And what, pray tell are you up to this evening?" asked Lady de Rosé with a slight smile upon her face as she looked benevolently at Maia.

"Well my Lady, I had thought to visit a dear friend in Montrouge." Maia said offhandedly with certain emphasis on the word "dear", then with a look of shock she added, "But it seems that you are already here."

"You flatter me, my sister! But if it is a trip to Montrouge you desire, then perhaps we should go together" the lady answered teasingly. Maia obliged her with a smile and a blush, before following her out of the party.

Together they climbed into the carriage belonging to the Lady and were soon clattering down the cobbled lanes of Paris, Lady de Rose was sighing against the nimble fingers of Maia as they worked along her petticoats. Maia though, was paying attention to the feelings of the Otherworld, she had to work hard to discern the certain currents of time and place, but she could feel them, perhaps not as strongly as all of her sisters but at least a little. She felt out the place of disturbance and finally moving the fabric aside, touched the little clit of the Lady, who swooned against her, passing out.

Maia chuckled softly, and she kissed the lips of the Lady beside her as she knocked on the roof, getting the driver to stop nearly in front of the house she had previously felt, looking out, she saw that it was heavily guarded. So, she stepped giddily from the carriage, and looking for all the world as a very drunk young miss who has lost her way, she weaved her way to the doors, giggling and laughing, she even hugged the guards at the front gate, telling them she must see her dear friend inside, he had called for her.

As Maia was being escorted inside the house, out of the corner of her eye she noticed something moving on the rooftop nearby, and she was immediately aware that she might not be alone.

 

[ShireWolfe]

Frowning, Skadi had to raise an eyebrow as the Courtesan arrived. Not that it was unheard of for such women to work at this hour, but to arrive drunk, and loudly wail about needing to see her friend? It was suspicious to say the least, especially with this distortion of the Otherworld that was nearly -flowing- from the house.

<Wait, is she... damnit!> The assassin thought, falling flat on her chest as the girl seemingly glanced in her direction, she feared she might have been spotted. But at the rather obvious silence, and no gunfire, she finally allowed to release the breath she didn't realize she'd been holding in.

<This damn... blurr! is making me jumpy...> Grumbling, she crept back to the ledge of the roof, and began to slowly climb down the wall, using vines, creepers, and cracks for hand- and footholds, and keeping out of sight by staying out of the light, and a tree between herself and the guarded house.

"Now, for a way inside..." Frowning, she once again looked the house over. The front door was a no-go, likely barred and guarded on the inside as well. The roof was suicidal, and there was no discernible way into the basement, but... ah! There!

"Hello to you, open window on the second floor..." Grinning, the assassin knelt in the shadow of the tree, and began to chant, weaving the powers of the Arcana around her in a minor spell, litterally wrapping the shadows around her like a cloak to be worn. Now, with some protection from being seen crossing the street, she bolted, running as swiftly and silently as she dared, praying that the woven shadows would keep her from being spotted crossing the moderately lit street.

Pressing her back against the wall, Skadi remained frozen, waiting for something, anything, to go wrong, as she held the cloak tightly wrapped around herself. Again, only silence returned to sate her fears, and with the softest of sighs, the cloak dissolved into nothingness, as she turned towards the wall, and closed her eyes to commune with her inner Demon once more.

~~~~*~~~~

Gasping, I foud that for once, I was not enveloped by darkness, to be greeted by the Demon's taunting whispers. Whatever was causing this disturbance in her perception of the Otherworld, was allowing me to physically gaze upon the Demoness locked inside me for the first time, since being sealed inside me.

<So, you finally came to play, hmm?> The Demon snickered, her lips curling up in a wicked grin as her eyes glowed with a disturbingly cold silver light.

<Wh-what's going on here? What's causing all this!?> I shouted, glaring at the demonic creature before me, knowing that she would have -some- knowledge about the situation.

<Oh, nothing complicated I fear, dear child. Merely that inside, someone is using the powers of my home, little girl, to fan the flames of desire, in a good many individuals, and attempting to summon forth -My- Sisters.>

<Argh! Whatever! Just let me borrow your claws, so i can climb this thing...>

<Very well. But this time, I have a condition, child. You -will- allow me to play with the girl whom entered before you. Otherwise, you can forget any aid from me tonight. I require encitement to work against the will of my Sisters.>

<Fine! Just hurry it up...> I sigh, and before I knew what was happening, I was repulsed from the Demon's sanctum inside my soul.

~~~~*~~~~

Shaking her head, Skadi blinked repeatedly. What the hell had -that- been? Whatever it was, it was over now, and the Demon had held her end of the deal. The claws were in place. Black, sharp, and powerful. Grinning, she easily began to climb the wall, the demonic claws easily digging into the bricks and stone, allowing the assassin to haul herself up through the window.

Infiltration complete.

 

[Ausus_girl13]

Maia was fairly dragged along by two very strong, burly unsavory men into the midst of a man who gave her the once over and shrugged his shoulders at her giggling, for she was still attempting to make herself look like a fool.

"Who is this?" he said roughly as he caught Maia as she fell into his arms again in greeting, he glared at her and Maia went limp in his arms laughing. She was listening intently as he commented on her form and her obvious drunkenness.

He then lifted her up and carried her up the stairs. He smelled of wine and cigars, and it repelled her. She stayed limp in his arms, the turned left and Maia, fingered her poison button again and threw her fingers onto his face, touching it and laughing at him. He got mad and set her down on her feet pushing her to the wide double doors of the ballroom. She turned the handles slowly and opened the doors. She was pushed inside.

What lay within hit her with the force of a thousand strikes to her body, she almost melted with the power of it. She stared around the room, the feelings of abject terror and primal lust warring with her body and mind. Her training came back at full force and she played the coquette no longer. She was a trained Sororitas and she knew that what lay before her was tearing the fabric between the Otherworld and this world.

Maia held her breath and stared at the writhing mass of female bodies, there were women everywhere, licking, biting, moaning, bodies moved together in piles. Breasts heaved with excitement, pussies squirted and the wetness coated the floor. Maia fought the urge to throw herself in their midst. Squaring her shoulders, she looked up at Lord Maquette, the man who was orchestrating this ordeal in front of her and her Mark.

 

[ShireWolfe]

Now that she was finally inside, Skadi wasn't about to release her hold on the Demon's claws, now that they were finally manifested upon her person. Beyond being great tools for climbing, they made rather handy weapons as well, cutting as cleanly as sharpened steel, and the dark scales which covered her hands were at least somewhat resistant to cuts and slashes.

Frowning, she manouvered through the halls, slowly, finding them disturbingly void of guards, while the sense of the Otherworld was growing more and more distorted the further she moved. Grumbling for the umphteent time about feeling unsettled, the assassin came upon the front doors to the ballroom, where the distortion litterally reeked from beyond the doors. Just one little problem... there were two guards at the door. Thankfully, both were only carrying halberds, instead of those blasted firearms.

"Figure he gotta be in here... Oh boys?" She called out, keeping her hands held behind her back as she slowly walked up towards the guards, whom just blinked at the appearance of another woman so soon.

"Ach, bist zie lozt?" One of them asked, in a very thick Prussian accent, which made one of Skadi's eyebrows raise in surprise. So, this target had friends abroad as well? That made her uncomfortable. If there was a conspiracy in several nations to bring the Otherworld back... yes, very bad.

"Not anymore, my friend." Skadi replied, before bringing a hand up to punch clean through his steel curiass, and feeling her hand be drenched in his lifeblood.

"ALAR-hhrlgh..." Was all that escaped the other guard, before her hand dug into his throat to break his wind-pipe. Tossing the limp figures aside, the Sororitas didn't even bother with cleaning her blood-stained bodies as she pushed open the heavy doors... and froze where she was.

The scene of vulgar and wanton female lust was like a carriage crashing into her head. The heaving mounds of feminine and naked flesh, both servants, nobles, and common whores were enough to distract anyone. But with the powerful magics assaulting her senses as well...

~~~~~~***~~~~~~

<Oooh, yessss... give in, girl! You've never felt as good as you will if you give in...> The Demon teased, the transportation to her Sanctum having come unwilling for the first time in my life, and I had to blink rapidly to keep from being overwhelmed.

<Wh-what? How... how did you bring me here?> I stuttered, pressing a hand to my now pounding head. At least I didn't feel the aches of my physical body here, which made it easier to concentrate... if the magical assault didn't make it feel as if my head was going to burst in half.

<Oh, that was easy, child... your guard was down, and all this lust and Desire... ooh, it is strengthening me, child... So, what do you say? Give in, and I'll show you visions of pleasures you've never experienced before...> The Demon purred, stepping in close and running her clawed fingers trail over my cheeks, as if seeking to arouse me in this inner sanctum as well.

<No! No, damn you, whore from the Otherworld... I have a prey to kill, don't you forget that... And you had best remember what will happen to -you- if I die...> I snarled, glaring at the attractive Demoness before me, my fists clenched tightly as I reached out to grasp it by the throat.

<Fine, fine... use my powers as you wish then, Child... but remember, you -owe- me! Or we'll see how far you will come without me...>

~~~~~~*~~~~~~

Roaring as she was released from the Sanctum and Demonic powers coursed through her body, the Assassin shook off the spell, and focused on my her. The Lord Maquette. He would die. Snarling, the possession spread through her, turning her healthy pink skin into a dark and demonic blue as her teeth visibly sharpened, and her eyes radiated with a cold silver light.

"Lord Maquette... the Order has called for your life-blood!"

 

[Ausus_girl13]

Maia turned as a Sororitas Malleum burst into the room, she was struck by the power emanating from the woman as she shimmered into her demon form. The demon pulled at her and Maia had to shake the image of her wrapping her legs around the demon and screaming out her...

Maia instinctively pulled the two small metal scimitars that were attached to her corset and held them out in front of her. The curved swords fit perfectly from her waist and sat nicely below the curve of her breast, were designed to flow with any of her outfits, and most of the time no one noticed until she pulled them off her being, like now. She had been trained with swords and often likened the grace of it, to dance.

Maia knew that she would need more than the weapons she had on her, (throwing knives, posion, one of the new guns, darts and throwing stars) so she began to look around the room. She noticed that the sconces were lit with oil, and that she could use clear the floor. Creating a panic also might disrupt the chanting that Lord Maquette was currently engrossed in. But she would try to stop the Lord without hurting the women.

Maia bent low, set her scimitar down, grabbed a dart from under her bustle and threw it at the Lord, the potion on the tip acting immediately to start a horrible rash, marking the Lord in a way that he could never run from. He screamed out his fury, and suddenly 30 pairs of female eyes stared at the two sisters in blind unadulterated fury.

Standing up, Maia, undid the clasp that held her bustle and skirt into place, letting them fall to the ground, she stood there in a tight little pair of shorts (that of course, matched her outfit), her fishnet stockings and her heels. Maia's weapons were displayed for all to see on her garters. She glanced over at her Sister.

"What? I can't fight in the skirt. Are you ready for this?" as she indicated the slow moving female forms that hungered for them.

 

[ShireWolfe]

"You have to ask?" Skadi snarled as she glanced over at the Sororitas Eros, before watching her prey scream in fury at the poisonous assault from Maia, and the sudden fury from the enthralled females writhing on the floor. However, none of that mattered to the Demon-bound assassin. Only ending the life of Lord Maquette mattered.

Growling, she began to move forward, pushing, throwing, and even kicking at the women trying to grasp and detain her to protect their Lord and master. Often, she drew blood, but in her hunting mindset, she couldn't care less if she tried. Feeling arms wrap around her armoured legs, she kicked out, shaking a woman off with her Demon-enhanced strenght.

"Coward! Stop hiding behind your whores and face us!" Skadi challenged as she struggled to move forward through the mass of flesh, while struggling against the taunts of her Demon reverbrating in her head.

<Ooh... that blue-clad Assassin looks so yummy... I would love feeling her tongue trailing over my skin... to taste her, sample her body...>

<SHUT UP!!>

The Assassin and the Demon waged mental warfare based on insults and name calling, while trying to move towards the Lord, whom by now was focusing mostly on Maia, for having disfigured him, and threw orbs of pure eldricht powers at the Courtesan-Assassin.

 

[Ausus_girl13]

Maia watched the Malleum run boldly into the crowd after growling at her. There was no doubt that the woman was powerful as she slashed, pushed and parted the women before her like Moses before the Red Sea.

It was strange, the way that Maia felt about this woman. The thought of this woman running her claws down Maia's back, made her weak in the knees. She took a step towards her Sister, but Lord Maquette was working his hands in a spell that Maia recognized before he threw the orb of pure eldricht at her. She jumped out of the way and had immediately pulled two knives out of her black lace garter, and throws them without err at the man on the dais.

Whizzing through the air the knives land in Lord Maquette's upper arm and as he roared his pain, Maia was already on her feet and running through the room and knocking lights out, pouring the whale oil to the floor, knowing that the oil is very flammable and the slightest contact from his eldricht orb will set it alight and he won't very well risk the rebuilding the spell to the Otherworld. For two reasons, she knew that he had to finish the two of them now; first the fact that the Master of the Otherworld- Beezlebub brooked no favor for failures to his realm or upstarts who attempted to take over, Lord Maquette had to succeed now or risk cursing his soul. And second, the two Sister's bodies would be a coup de gras for Beezlebub.

And it was with that knowledge that Maia threw herself at the task, using her blessed knives to take down the orbs midair before they could implode on the ground and burn the mansion down. However, while the orbs were coming slower due to the Lords' injuries, they were still coming and Maia was running out of knives, luckily she still had her scimitars but that mean that the orb would break at the end of her arm burning her.

Unfortunately there was nothing to do about it, the Malleum was still in the midst of the possessed women and Maia needed to make it to the dais to take out Lord Maquette. She made a running start avoiding most of the mass of women, leapt into the air with her blades in front of her, screaming out her strength and ready to take down the Lord, and he hit her with an orb. It slammed into her chest, it didn't kill her but it did knock her out, her consciousness fading with the realization that she had failed and that the floor around her was on fire.

By chance, an overly agressive slut made Skadi turn her head, just in time to see the Sororitas Eros go flying from the impact of one of his eldricht spells. Snarling, the Demon-infused assassin threw a woman out of the way, ignoring her prey for now, as she leaped to pick up the woman as the the oil and keserone caught fire from the sparks of the Eldricht energies.

With a loud roar, she called up all of her Demonic powers, and called forth her wings, which she wrapped around herself and the unconcious Eros sister, and calling upon her Arcana skills to further shield them from the flames that roared around them, incinerating several of the now terrified and fleeing sluts, while Lord Maquette made good his escape.

"Damnit... the Order didn't mention he was a Mage... or that we'd face anything like this..." Skadi snarled, baring her demonic teeth as she shielded the beautiful young woman in her arms from the roaring fire that was burning down the house around them.

 

[Ausus_girl13]

Maia was unaware that she was being swooped up into the arms of the Sororitas Malleum as she dreamt:

Maia was somewhere dark, she looked around, a simple room forming in her unconscious. Before her a being was coalescing upon the bed, it's form shapely and sinister, inexplicably Maia was drawn to it.

<Come here my pet>

Maia moved slowly towards the figure, her breath coming in gasps the closer she got to the beckoning hand, she looked down at the sprawled demoness before her. The demoness curled her claw and ran it lazily over Maia's leg and belly leaving a trail of heat and tingles in it's wake.

Without even considering the alternatives Maia climbed onto the bed, placing herself next to and under the dark demoness who cooed at her with delight,at least thats what Maia hoped.

<You please me> the demoness said looking over Maia's naked form; as she bent her head to the task of toying with Maia's nipples, her sharp teeth nicking the sensitive skin there, making them hard while Maia whimpered with pleasure. The demoness moved lower running her claws over Maia's belly, leaving a trail of red scratches behind her, the bumps quickly raising themselves into welts. When Maia began to wiggle from the ministrations, the demoness snapped her fingers, the blanket from the bed wrapped themselves around her wrists pulling her arms above her head and holding them there.

Satisfied, the demoness slipped lower, snaking out her long forked tongue, roughly shoving Maia's legs apart, the tongue flicked at Maia's sex, coaxing even louder moans from her throat. The demoness reached up and flicked at Maia's nipples, smacking them smartly, even as it's tongue licked at her clit. Maia could do nothing but lay there in torturous ecstasy, whimpering and moaning....

All the while Maia's body rests in the arms of her sister, her panties becoming wet with the arousal of her dream.

 

[ShireWolfe]

Sighing, Skadi held the Sororitas Eros tight in her arms, feeling the flames bat and rage around her, as the blurring effect between the mortal world and the Otherworld faded as the Lord Maquette fled from the burning building, slowly strenghtening her powers of the Arcana and her inner Demon, allowing her to fend off the flames with greater ease.

As she focused more of her powers, but less of her attention on keeping the flames away, she noted Maia's rapid breathing, and without the long skirt, the girl's arrousal was rather obvious, the blue cloth being stained black by the moisture forming between her legs.

If she had been in her Human form, she would have blushed, and rather deeply at that, but as she was stuck in her Demonic form for now, that was out of the question, and she felt it harder to resist her attractions for the girl cradled in her arms. At some level, she knew it was the influence of her Demon, but yet... she couldn't completely dismiss the urges, even when she was in her Human shape.

Slipping one hand down, she carefully placed her clawed hand on the wet crotch, and felt the warmth there, and subtly she could feel the promised shape underneath, so tempting, so hard to resist...

 

[Ausus_girl13]

Maia was moaning beneath the demoness, until she heard the demoness laugh and she was suddenly in the arms of the Sororitas Malleum, she felt the claw against her cunt, Maia quickly realized that she was wet and that she was surrounded by fire.Maia kept herself still as the Malleum held her covered pussy, and waited for something to happen.

So when the Malleum moved her finger slightly, Maia was ready. She kicked up catching the Sister squarely in the jaw, while falling to the floor. She landed with a thump, but was quickly recovered and standing. She moved herself back, preparing for an onslaught that was sure to come.

She made sure that she was ready, pulling a vial of healing serum, feeling her body heal as she quickly ran over her inventory of weapons, pulling out two knives and getting her stance ready. All of this took mere moments while the fire licked at the wood around the two women as they squared off.

 

[ShireWolfe]

Growling loudly as she felt the boot connect to her jaw, Skadi was back on her feet as fast as she went down, and squared off against the Sororitas Eros. Pushing her Demon back into the depths of her soul, her body slowly transformed into her more Human shape, though her hands remained in their demonic shape, just in case the Eros did decide to attack.

"Do you really want to break the Oaths? To turn your back on the Sisterhood?" The Malleus asked, rubbing a hand against her jaw as she drew on her Arcana powers, fanning out the flickering flames around them and stared into the eyes of the blue-clad courtesan-assassin.

 

[Ausus_girl13]

Maia watched the woman change her shape and fan out the flames with a flick of her wrist. She was impressed with the cool reaction of the woman who dared to touch her. She laughed softly and looked around. With the flames gone, the floorboards were weak and wouldn't take much. The stench of smoke was overwhelming and Maia had to resist the urge to get the hell away from here.

She noticed that the Malleum had kept her claws, it stopped her slightly, she was thinking of the Demoness who had played her like a fine violin, enticing the moans from her throat with the patience and knowledge of a maestro. She flushed with those thoughts and quickly shook off the the chill that enveloped her.

"Look, Malleum, you know the rules, you touched me without my permission, and an Eros must always give her consent or kill the one who touched her. You know this." She widened her stance readying herself. "I do not wish your death." she said softly.

 

[ShireWolfe]

"Then tell me what you do want then, Eros. As I doubt the Sisters Superior would approve much of either of us killing the other, especially with our Target fleeing." Skadi commented, frowning as she eased into a combat stance, struggling to keep her emotions in check.

"If you don't wish to kill me, but you -have- to kill me unless you give me conscent, then bloody conscent, and I'll take a rain check on when to cash in on that conscent, or do you have rules against -that- as well?" Frowning, she raised her leg and stomped down onto the floorboards with her demon-gifted strenght, cracking several of them to create a gap between them.

"If you really want to kill me, then cross that gap, strike me down."

 

[Ausus_girl13]

Maia heard the words tumble from the Malleum's lips and while she could agree that their target was getting away and he needed to be caught and finished. She hated the cold hard disdain of the words too.

She found herself running at the Malleum, with out any answer given, she was running full tilt at the other woman, the ash rising up under her feet, her legs black with soot. It was then that she heard laughter in her ears. And the image of the demoness sprang up before her, how much pleasure the creature had given her. How she longed to be touched by such a creature again. No man or woman had ever elicited such a reaction from her. HA! As an Eros she could handle most any erotic situation they could think up. Her breasts got hard, and her pussy wet again as she thought of the demoness, but she didn't slow down.

It's what she did when she reached the Malleum that scared her the most. Because while she ran full head on at the woman, when she reached her, without thinking, Maia leapt into her arms and kissed her. Not softly, not lightly, but she clung to the woman their lips and bodies pressed together. Maia wrapped her arms about her Sister, and waited for the other woman to react.

 

[ShireWolfe]

Seeing the Sororitas Eros charge forth and leap into the air, Skadi prepared to recieve an attack, but she wasn't prepared for the sudden embrace and kiss, her eyes widening in shock. Instinctively, she began to respond to the kiss, slipping her tongue out against Maia's lips, while her hands shot down to the courtesan's tight ass, her demonic claws digging into the soft tush.

~~~~***~~~~

"Ooh yes... that's it, girl... take that little slut... make her squeal! Remember our deal!" The Demoness snarls into my ear, digging her claws into my soul, her spiritual body pressed tight against mine, groping my breasts, biting down on my neck.

"Nngh... but the Mark... I need to kill the Mark..." I whimper, struggling against the twin onslaught of the Desire Demon in my soul and mind, while my physical body had the beautiful Eros courtesan pressed against it in a lustful embrace.

"Just enjoy this, you fool. How long do you go without a single cock or tongue between your legs? Just enjoy this, you slut!" The Demoness snarls, wrapping her arms around me and smothering my head in her breasts, submerging my conciousness in a haze of pleasure.

~~~~***~~~~

Her eyes changing from their light grey to the glowing Demonic silver, Skadi growls loudly, pressing the Eros Sister tight against her, having one hand on the blue-clad woman's bottom, the other quickly moving up to deftly undo the metal brassiere. Her long and thick demon-enhanced tongue shooting deep into the girl's mouth and tickling the back of her mouth, threatening to slip down her throat.

 

[Ausus_girl13]

Maia melted into the Malleum's strong arms, feeling the claws bite into her ass. She kissed her Sister back, feeling the long tongue slip into her mouth, the feeling reminiscent of her dream with the demon.

She felt the internal struggle of the Malleum in her arms and she wrapped herself around the other woman, lending her strength and allowing herself to feel a modicum of love for her Sister Sororitas. It was a new feeling for Maia who often played with love to control others. She was being played with and she knew it.

She moaned into the Malleum's mouth, her hands entwining into the woman's hair and tugging on it. She tasted the blood and strength of the woman on her tongue and she wanted more.

"Take me," she whispered, "then we will take the mark, together."

 

[ShireWolfe]

"Yess..." Was all the dark-haired assassin growled before delving into another kiss, shifting Maia's weight over into just one of her arms, easily holding her up thanks to her demon-fueled strenght, as she moved the other to deftly undo her metal brassiere, and as she growled in appreciation to the fleshy treats that were revealed, the metal clanged loudly against the floor.

Growling hungrily, Skadi lifted a hand up to the courtesan's breasts and squeezed one of the ample orbs, and with a predatory growl lowered her head to flick her tongue over a nipple. The other hand wasn't exactly idle either, clawing and tugging at the thin fabrics covering the ample and shapely ass I could feel hidden away underneath it.

"Undress me..." I hiss, biting down on one of the nipples to underline the point.

 

[Ausus_girl13]

"Undress me..."

These two words sank through the haze of lust that had veiled Maia's mind, and she went into a frenzy, ripping off the Malleum's clothing. The tatters fell, until Maia grabbed one of her knives from her garter and cut the clothing from the other woman, then it puddled at their feet as Maia curled herself around her Sister, and sucked on her neck.

Maia delighted in the taste of her Sister as she kissed and licked at the other woman's neck. Maia delighted in the feel of running her small, nimble fingers up the malleum's back.

Maia moaned as she was touched and bit and scratched. She could no longer care about the mark, all her focus was on the woman in her arms, and what Maia could do to give her pleasure.

 

[ShireWolfe]

Growling in a haze of lust, the Demon-Possessed woman digs her claws into the woman's soft ass as she's undressed, and then lifts Maia up to her mouth, and bites down on a nipple, suckling and flicking her tongue harshly over the hard nub of flesh.

"You are mine..." She breathes out, her free hand sealing itself around the Eros' throat for a brief while, and when she pulls away, there is a collar formed from the blackest obsidian around her neck, a perfect fit. Again she bites down on the breast, leaving marks on the flesh as her claws dig into and trail over the soft cheeks of her ass.

 

[Ausus_girl13]

Maia was collared, she belonged to this creature now. She moaned loudly as the weight of her servitude settled over her shoulders, she became eager to please her Sister and not just take what she wanted.

Maia let herself slide against her new Mistresses body and settled herself to the floor, where she kneeled and ran her hands up the Sorioitas's thighs, kissing those places her hands had touched, she tentatively spread the legs before her and moved between them, reaching up with her tongue, to lick her Owner there.

Gently, she licked, tasting softly at the juices there, listening to the soft keen of the demoness above her. She got bolder in her approach licking harder, using more of her tongue to seek out the hard little nub. Maia loved the taste on her tongue, both salty and sweet, like a tear. The pussy before her open and inviting, and Maia's tongue delved into the folds, as Maia hummed with pleasure, hoping against hope that she was pleasuring her new Mistress.

 

[ShireWolfe]

Sighing happily, Skadi's hand slips down into her new toy's hair and entwines her fingers into the soft tangles as she rubs and smothers the courtesan-assassin's face into her soaked sex.

Shuddering, Skadi felt her mind merge fully with the demon inside her, and while she remained looking like a normal human, her voice did change. It still sounded every bit as the old human Skadi, but flooded with demonic tremble and reverbations.

"Good Toy... eat your Mistress' pussy... please me." She snarls, summoning upon her Demonic powers once more, the black obsidian leash and collar flows down, expanding and forming into a jet black corset, cupping, lifting, and putting the girl's breasts on display, before tapering down into a thin thong strip that digs firmly in between her pussy lips, along with long stockings and garters, and boots with high heels.

"There... a more fitting outfit for my Toy." She comments, her words followed by a soft moan as she rides the girl's face, feeling Maia's tongue lashing and squirming inside her sex.
