Eternal
Decena’s a good warrior, you’re sure she’ll be able to handle the abomination trying squeeze through the doorway. Plus the quicker Zelvix gets banished, the quicker this all stops. Now that you’ve been given a temporary relief from the mental attacks, you run over to Morty’s body and drag it away from Semra. You also hold him down and begin repeatedly punching him in the face.
Morty’s possessed body struggles against you and while it’s certainly stronger than it should be, it can’t break free of your grip and won’t be reaching Semra anytime soon.
Zelvix’s power is fading, but he’s not out of it yet and in between trying to break free he establishes contact with you mentally again.
“Ragh! Argh! Fool! You would deny your destiny of immortality? I told you I would tell you how to find the Isle of Mortos! Is that not what you want? You think…ARRRGH!” Zelvix’s bargaining is interrupted by the agony of his impending banishment.
Soon Zelvix will be gone and this will all be over, yet isn’t there a way to get what you want as well.
You think so and respond back to Zelvix.
“Zelvix, you’ve got little time left, so I’m proposing a deal to YOU. Tell me the location of the island now and I’ll kill the svelk bitch myself. You don’t have any options here.”
You hear a deep chortle inside your head.
“Mortal, we ALL have choices. I know you and I know this game. You phrased your proposal in such a way that you didn’t specify WHEN you were going to kill Semra…actually you didn’t even say Semra. You just said svelk bitch. That could be any of them. No deal, I’m not telling you shit. A good attempt, but I’d rather die than have my last moments be one of being outwitted by a pathetic mortal!” Zelvix says
“Considering you’re still stuck in Morty’s body and going to be BANISHED in it, I’d say that’s already happened.”
Zelvix doesn’t respond, instead you just hear a great bellowing inside your head, this is also followed by a scream nearby, you turn your head and see half of Decena underneath the mass of murderous flesh that has finally managed to break through some of the wall in an effort to reach you all. Decena still struggles to fight, but she’s overwhelmed by the writhing mass of limbs striking her and the horrible rows of sharp teeth biting into her flesh.
“NO!” you shout and run over to help her by hacking away at the disgusting flesh blob. It has little effect other depriving it of a few less flailing limbs. You only succeed in chopping off a few chunks even when you attempt to freeze it in place (Which only slows it down rather than properly freezing it completely) You try to pull Decena away, but she’s stuck and her lower half being devoured, shredded and crushed all at the same time. The strength in her is already leaving.
“I’m sorry my…Emper…” She manages to utter during the chaos of this situation.
“Don’t talk! You’ll get out of this, I’ll think of something! I’ll…FUCK!” you shout in frustration and still hacking away at the mass.
The whole time you’ve been distracted, you haven’t paid any attention to the main conflict which is that of Zelvix who fortunately was still too weak to reach Semra.
A final unearthly wail from Zelvix and it’s a sign that the end of this conflict is near.
“SSSSSSSSS NO! IT CANNOT END LIKE THIS! I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY MORTAL SHIT! I CURSE YOU ALL! NONE OF YOU SHALL AAAARRRRGH!”
Morimer’s body twitches and convulses one last time and you manage to turn your head just in time from your own battle to see a red spirit like mist rise from his body. An angry demonic face can be seen briefly followed by the red mist completely dissipating. In front of you, the mass of flesh you’ve been fighting goes completely lifeless. Mortimer’s body is also lifeless. Whatever spark that was keeping him alive was only due to Zelvix’s magic and he’s truly gone now.
And then the blob of flesh you were fighting becomes lifeless as well and you are able to pull Decena away with some effort. It’s too bad though, she’s missing parts of her legs and even some of her innards, you can’t even imagine how much blood she’s lost.
“Oh shit, I’m sorry. I should’ve been there for you, I’ll make this better, I’ll make this better…” you start to say and begin to cast your healing magic, though surprisingly Decena manages to interrupt you by weakly grabbing at your hand.
“No…don’t…let me die a warrior’s death. Don’t shorten your life span for me…the Empire needs you…”
You hold Decena closer to you, it won’t be long now.
“Emperor…I love you…” she says looking up at you.
“I…love you Decena.” You respond back.
These words causes a brief smile in Decena’s final moments. It’s all she ever wanted, your love.
The funny thing is, it’s at this very moment that you realize that you could’ve probably had a real relationship with her. She was more than just a lovesick student that you thought you were re-enacting your experiences with Semra with. She was a worthy mate and potentially your successor.
And now that’s all gone.
You wipe your eyes and get up off the floor, pondering your great loss today. In fact you’ve completely forgotten about Semra, though she hasn’t forgotten about you, and she’s been watching you the entire time.
“While I hate to disturb your moment of introspection, we need to get the hell out of here before your army starts bombarding this place now that the barrier is down. I imagine that you probably gave that order or something similar to your army correct?”
You ignore Semra.
“Hey are you listening to me? Look, I know you’re upset about losing your little warrior girl and I’m sure she was a lot of fun in bed, but you need to get over that now. I mean utter devotion is a beautiful thing, but really at least Alison was her own woman and not someone looking for constant approval.” Semra says as she walks over to you.
“Well I guess that’s why you’ll always be the true woman for me, right Semra?” you answer and grab her hand.
“What?” Semra says.
“That’s what you’re always telling me isn’t it? I mean any woman I have any sort of feelings for seems to die. You on the other hand survive everything…heh…just like I survive everything…it would seem you’re right we ARE meant to be together…”
At this point you put both of your arms around Semra’s waist. You can sense that she’s genuinely surprised by this sudden show of affection for her. You can also feel her attempting to read your mind, but she’ll see nothing there but a strong desire to take her right there on the floor.
“Hmmm, while I don’t mind this sudden enthusiasm lover, we really should…” Semra starts to say before you shut her up with a kiss. She tastes exactly like you remember and it’s intoxicating.
You waste no time in stripping off your bloody sweat drenched clothing, and Semra despite her concern that your army will start bombarding the city, loses that worry as well as losing herself in the moment.
Then soon the pair of you are naked on blood stained floor and as you thrust into Semra, you try to ignore your aches and pains from your earlier battle.
It’s almost like your first time…
Well other than the fact that a rotting mound of dead bodies lies nearby, along with Decena’s corpse which probably hasn’t even gone completely cold yet.
This is wrong in so many ways, but after your great loss today, you’re going to get something out of it. And that something ISN’T Semra’s magical svelk vagina even though you’ve convinced her that it is.
Semra has to know something about the Isle of Mortos or at least how to get back there. She’s been around long enough and given her relationship with Casimir who was a former “citizen” there, the chances that she knows something is very likely.
“Mmmm yes! Yes! Ravish me! Ravage me you fucking abomination of nature!” Semra exclaims and slaps you hard in the face.
Semra’s having so much fun that she doesn’t seem to realize you’re getting to know her in an intimate way that you’re sure she didn’t want you to. It’s difficult trying to hide your true intentions to Semra, but you manage to do so by filling you own thoughts with a mixture of lust and hatred. You also think about how much you want to slit her throat. It’s certainly enough to be convincing since it isn’t exactly untrue.
In her state of arousal Semra’s mind is much less guarded, as her focus is no longer one of defense, but one mostly of pleasure. While part of her is expecting you to try to kill her and she’s certainly prepared for it, that’s not your goal at least not today. It’s the perfect cover as far as you’re concerned.
You see many things about Semra’s life, some very interesting, some rather mundane, and some even sort of surprising to you.
For example, just before Semra pushed you away during your first mental joining, there was another she was upset about losing, though you didn’t see it the first time, namely an infant son. Apparently demons had killed and consumed part of it before Semra and her father could save it (Which then soon lead to her father’s death). You can only imagine it was their baby together.
This loss explains a few other things you see which must take place later on in her life, such as a bored one night casual sexual encounter with some svelk warrior that also resulted in pregnancy. This must’ve been Eldolith’s father since she was born soon after.
Her relationship with her daughter was never a good one and it’s apparent she saw her daughter as something barely better than…well “the lesser born” as most svelk would say. Perhaps Eldy was a constant reminder that she was NOT Semra father’s offspring and never would be.
But you’re not here to delve into the tragic past of a very broken woman, you’re here to find out vital information that you know she must have.
And you think you’ve just found it.
You see a continent that you’ve never seen before. It isn’t Evigrus and while you’ve never been there, it’s not Nyttrus either as there is no trace of jungle. The place has large tracks of forests and several ruined cities. Inside such ruined areas you see groups of svelk fighting each other. Other groups wander the countryside in the usual nomadic manner that you’ve traditionally known them to do.
Oddly there doesn’t seem to be any other race living on the continent, or at least no other sentient creature. (Strange beasts you’ve never seen still seem to exist though) Another thing that stands out though are these large circular structure made out of mithral. They seem to be all over the continent though it looks like most are damaged in some way.
This has to be the svelk “home.” It is. You gain all this information from Semra’s mind which is like an open book at this point. And these circular structures are portals, or they used to be. They probably lead all over to different parts of the world and that includes…
“DECIEVER!” Semra suddenly shouts and tries to punch you, but you hold her down her arms. She’s on to your plan now.
“Don’t fight it Semra, just lay back and enjoy it.” You mockingly say and try to probe her mind again, but she’s already taken steps to block you out more effectively. You’ve learned all you can, but it might be enough.
Finished with Semra mentally, you “finish up” with her physically as well before letting her go. Predictably she punches you in the face and crawls backwards from underneath you.
“So was it good for you?” you say, holding your face.
Your continued mocking is met with a blast of fire that you just barely block with a magic field.
“I know where you’re going Semra. You’re going back home to Dokkrus to ironically try to do something you were criticizing me for. You’re going to try to resurrect the Svelk Empire again. Try to unite the tribes as it were. That’s good. We all should have a goal. I know what mine is.”
“You think yourself so clever, but if you try to pursue what we both know what you’re trying to pursue, be prepared to suffer considerable losses.” Semra warns.
“What could I possibly lose Semra? Tell me, because I’d truly love to know. I have no more loved ones for you to kill. The Empire? You told me I’ll lose that when I die anyway. My life? You think I fear death? You know I don’t. I only seek to MASTER it.”
You pick up your pants and start to dress as you continue your monologue to Semra.
“In the past you’ve mentioned about how my efforts of world domination and expanding the Empire are all in vain because I’ll eventually grow old and die anyway just like Casimir. Well congratulations Semra, you motivated me to avoid his fate because unlike him, I will succeed. I WILL become truly immortal and NOTHING is going to stop me.”
“Well, then its good we had one last tryst because I can see now you’re leaving me no choice!” Semra shouts and resumes her magical attack.
You block the magical bolts and try to run for some sort of cover. Semra casts a poisonous cloud, you remember that one, but this time you’re able to get out of its range, though in doing so you are hit by her follow up attack, which involves throwing a dead body into you. You fall to the floor face first as the body slams into you a fairly fast speed.
“Shit!” you groan and turn around with the body still on top of you, and that’s when you see that it’s Decena’s. Her dead eyes stare into your own and then you feel a kick to your face that probably would’ve taken out your eye had Semra been wearing her sharp toed boots rather than her current state of undress.
“It’s been fun lover, but you need to learn the last lesson and that’s no one lives forever.” Semra says…and then the roof of the palace starts collapsing on the pair of you. It would seem the bombarding of the city has begun.
Seizing the opportunity, you push Decena’s body off of you and try to stab Semra with your dagger. Unfortunately between your exhaustion, the crumbling ceiling and Semra’s alertness you miss, but instead of trying to attack back, she takes the survival approach instead.
“Next time Eternal.” She says and runs out the entryway
“Next time Semra.” You mutter and pick up Decena’s body before making haste for the exit yourself.
It’s difficult carrying Decena’s body while tired and trying to avoid being blown up by the bombarding. Doesn’t help that you start seeing airships approaching.
“Sheesh, Flevas. Glad to see you’re not fucking around, but this isn’t helping me!” you mutter and quicken your pace.
Fortunately, you manage to get out of Dequilet before it’s completely decimated and fortunately there is a pause in the bombarding when someone with a telescope spots you just outside the destroyed city walls. You make it back to camp in one piece.
“Emperor! My apologies, but I thought…” Flevas starts to say, but you’re not in the mood to hear anything.
“Forget it Flevas, you were doing your job…just (sigh) here…” you say and lay Decena down.
“Have her body shipped back to the capital, she will receive a war heroes’ funeral.”
“Certainly my Emperor.” Flevas says and snaps his fingers to have some other troops move her body.
“I’ll be in my tent. Don’t disturb me.” You say and retire to your bedroll. As you allow your body to at last embrace the rest it needs, you think about Decena’s last words to you.
“Don’t worry Decena, your sacrifice wasn’t in vain. The Empire will always have me because it IS me and I will live forever. I promise.” You say as you close your eyes.
Morty’s possessed body struggles against you and while it’s certainly stronger than it should be, it can’t break free of your grip and won’t be reaching Semra anytime soon.
Zelvix’s power is fading, but he’s not out of it yet and in between trying to break free he establishes contact with you mentally again.
“Ragh! Argh! Fool! You would deny your destiny of immortality? I told you I would tell you how to find the Isle of Mortos! Is that not what you want? You think…ARRRGH!” Zelvix’s bargaining is interrupted by the agony of his impending banishment.
Soon Zelvix will be gone and this will all be over, yet isn’t there a way to get what you want as well.
You think so and respond back to Zelvix.
“Zelvix, you’ve got little time left, so I’m proposing a deal to YOU. Tell me the location of the island now and I’ll kill the svelk bitch myself. You don’t have any options here.”
You hear a deep chortle inside your head.
“Mortal, we ALL have choices. I know you and I know this game. You phrased your proposal in such a way that you didn’t specify WHEN you were going to kill Semra…actually you didn’t even say Semra. You just said svelk bitch. That could be any of them. No deal, I’m not telling you shit.
