Brash the Dragon hit the ground face first, skidded three meters, and came to a stop with his feet curled up against his shoulder blades. He lay there, groaning for a few seconds, then rolled around until he was merely on his face.
“Ouchatronic...” he muttered.
Then he sat up and gasped.
The world had shifted.
His perspective had changed.
For most mortal minds, it would have been a jarring wrench. Something so fiercely unexpected and unusual that it would have taken minutes, if not hours, to grasp the profound alteration to not only his senses but his very own conception of his self. The essential core of his consciousness.
For Brash, it took five seconds.
“THIIIIIIIIRD PERSON!” he cooed, looking at himself. “Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
He cackled and grinned. Brash the Dragon was currently not looking particularly dragonesque. Thanks to a run-in with his designer and several secretive programs that she had slipped into his genetic sequence, Brash’s shapeshifting had been turned off. He was currently stuck in his human form. But as his human form was a slender, incredibly athletic male with long black hair, bright green eyes, and a face that settled somewhere between teen heart-throb and anime bishonen heart-throb, Brash wasn’t exactly at a disadvantage.
Brash tried out thinking. I can hear myself think, he thought – and the echoing recursiveness actually caused a headache. He started to rub his temples and tried to get a feeling for the space he was in. And, just like that, whiteness exploded into detail. Shocking, vivid detail. He was no longer standing in an empty, uninteresting space. He was instead in a narrow corridor of crumpled metal. Like aluminum foil in its jagged complexities, but far harder. Brash leaned up against one of the narrow walls, sniffing at it, muttering to himself: “Dragonsniffs!”
Deep in his prefrontal cortex – where most humans located their personality expression, social behaviors, and decision making – a specially designed sequence of brain structures got to work, sampling the wall via his nose, skin contact, and light licking. This was why Brash licked a lot of things, and now that he could see himself in the third person (close omnescient, specifically), he realized that he was actually doing materials testing for future battlefield conditions.
To be clearer: He could tell the wall was made of an alloy of several metals that he couldn’t get through without super-strength or laser weaponry.
“I have a prefrontal cortex!?” Brash asked, cocking his head. He had often slept through biology class. Or been distracted by cute butts. “I did not!” Brash said, shaking his fist. But as he didn’t quite know where to shake the fist, and was perceiving the universe in third person, he ended up shaking his fist at his own self. Or at least what he perceived as his own self. Brash leaned against the wall. “This is wiggy.”
Still. There was nothing for him to do here. And that meant that the weaponry programming built into Brash’s very genetic sequence kicked on. When he lacked a target, an objective, or a place to recharge his biological, arcane and psionic energies, Brash the Dragon was designed to find one of the above.
Or, as Brash saw it...
“Need somebody to huuuuug!” Brash skipped forward down the corridor, singing along to the tune of Queen’s Need Somebody to Love. He was barely through misremembering the lyrics on the third chorus when he came to the end of the tunnel and immediately had his legs swept out from underneath him by what appeared to be a true draconics fortune in golden coins. His arms flared and he laughed with delight as he skidded along coins, which crinkled and crackled all the way down. He thumped onto a clear spot of ground and beamed as he saw that he had stumbled into a hoard. A true hoard, not a horde or even a whored.
Golden coins, piled up by a full neck-span of a max sized elder wyrm, glittering beneath warm mage-lights. Gemstones and diamonds and jewelry and magic swords and wands and pieces of armor and rings and more. All of it heaped into vast piles, scattered here and there with the raw chaos of a dragon who had properly settled his scaled rump down and done what every dragon dreamed of doing: Rolling in loot. Brash had ached for a chance to roll around properly in treasure, but he had only ever gotten to do so with a few quarters that he had gotten as change for buying Wendy’s instead of eating school lunches at the cafeteria.
“And it’s...” Brash paused, then sniffed at the gold. “Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!”
His mother – his real mother, Relix Castrovel Miles, not his biological mother, Dr. Palladium - had a hoard. She had even shown it to him. But while Dad, the clueless human, had thought that Brash would then get a chance to roll around in the gold, Mom and Brash knew.
You just ... didn’t roll around in anyone else’s tresh!
Specially not your mom.
Like. That was gross.
She was your mom. Brash shuddered at the very thought. Ew!
“And now, to enjoy my totally not suspicious reward for arriving in the super duper not a trap!” Brash said, cheerfully, sliding his palm through the golden coins. Then he gasped, melodramatically, like an extremely bad actor trying to show off how shocked and appalled they were. “Oh noes!” He picked up one of the golden coins, then snapped it in half. Gold foil crinkled and tore, revealing nothing beneath but chocolate. And not even good chocolate.
Cheap chocolate. The kind that tastes like its at least 25% cardboard.
“The treasure is all faaaaaaake! What an unexpectedly horrifying revelation!” Brash said, then popped the candy into his mouth before kicking a gemstone – revealing as it shattered that it was nothing more than cheap cut glass. He swallowed, then spread his arms. “Oh woe! My mind is shattering before the inexplicable terror of this nightmare dimension.”
There was a pause that could only be called pregnant in its length.
“That’s what she said!” Brash said, wiggling his eyebrows. Before anything could happen, he began to exposit – apparently, entirely to himself, pausing only to pop another coin into his mouth. He had to admit, even cheap chocolate was still, well, chocolate. “So, basically, I’ve done this song and dance before. You know, get exposed to extradimensional energies and be forced to live a nightmare constructed from the depths of my psyche? And you know what happens when someone does a thing like a thing that happened before? Well, once, I petted this cat, and the cat scratched me! So, instead, the next time I petted a cat, I made sure to get scratch resistant skin. Also, then, I turned into a cat, and then got pets! Basically, what I’m saying is ... I really miss shapeshifting.” He sighed and then sprawled, belly first, over some foil gold coins. As the illusion was no longer trying to make them seem like gold coins, they immediately began to soften and melt against him.
“ ... oh, also, I totally had a mental deffo planned!” Brash said, perking up. “Deffo is how cool kids say defense, by the way!”
It, without qualification, was not.
Brash scowled and stood up, chocolate glistening on his shirt. “Hey!” he said. “So, anyway, rather than being thrown into a horror nightmare dimension where all my friends and fam are dead and stuff, I just settled on my other worstest fear ever. Which is having bad tresh!” He grinned. “But I’ve learned a lot on this adventure. I’ve learned that vampires make the best wives. I’ve learned that when you get a chance to pet a wolf, make sure to do it before the battle royale starts! I’ve learned that sometimes, you can’t just ask a girl out without getting to know her better! Oh! Also, roller skates are cool. Like, super cool. But most of all, I’ve learned that powers don’t make you spesh. It’s how you use the powers you got!”
He tapped his temple. “So, I guess that guy in the fedora was worried over nothing.”
Brash sat there, smeared in chocolate, and felt quite proud of himself.
Lord Darkeye was having a far less sanguine experience.
Darkness.
Then, stabbing, light.
The woman on the ground was beautiful. Her skin was a pale, almost milky color, while her hair was a luminous blond. By human standards, she was quite strong looking – muscle slid beneath her skin like iron. Her fingers had the faint callouses of a swordwoman, and her body was seamed here and there with scars. She had the body of an adventurer. She sat up, her eyes wide. They were bright purple. She looked at her hands, then at her body.
“Oh no. No. No no no no no no!” She sprang to her feet, her hair hanging almost down to her athletic rump. She looked at her body, then closed her eyes, her fingers going to her temples. She felt dizzy. And sick. And horrified. “W-What is happening?” she hissed. “Where’s the hoard?”
“Oh? You thought you could just waltz in here and take our treasure?” A gurgling, crackling voice came from the darkness. The woman snapped her head up, her eyes widening as glowing lights flickered on beyond the range of the single beam of light. Ten glowing points – ten glowing eyes centered around one massive central eye. The woman’s heart skipped and she stepped backwards the beholder floated forward. The spheroid body was strange – and the eyestalks each formed a different character. But the face? The face was horribly familiar. It was the face of a halfling, twisted and made large and stretched around a single glaring eye.
It was the face of the first humanoid that Lord Darkeye had ever obliterated.
“Hehe, she’s not very bright is she,” a crooning female voice came to the left. Another beholder. This one had the face of that elven wizard who had once vexed Lord Darkeye for nearly ten years before the beholder lord (he had not yet then been a cybernetic abomination) had vaporized her tower, dominated her, and made her fall into her own pit of lava. The eye-stalks on this beholder smoldered with raw energy. “Still wondering where the hoarde is.”
“Looks like the eyestalk is on the other head now...” The third voice was familiar as well – a rough, dwarven burr. Looking over, the woman’s eyes were now so wide that the purple was nearly lost in the consuming, terrified whites.
Guard Captain Brunt’s dwarven features looked like pure horror, stretched and contorted across the sphere of a beholder’s body. But he still had his beard. His great big bushy beard, dragging and rasping along the ground as eyestalks focused in on the woman ... who realized just who she was. The horror mounted as Lord Darkeye realized the pressure in her – in his mind – had been trying, desperately, to use his eyestalks. Eyestalks he didn’t have. Eyes he didn’t have. He couldn’t see without turining this pathetically limited head. And he ... he was trapped in a body that was weak. Pitiful.
Small.
To add insult to injury, he wasn’t even in the body of a humanoid male. He had respected a few of them.
Scant few.
“P-Please...” Lord Darkeye whispered.
“Aww, please! Please!” The halfling he had killed centuries before cooed at Lord Darkeye, making his voice a simpering, whimpering mockery of Lord Darkeyes former baritone. “What did I say when you ripped me apart ... atom ... by atom...” His mouth made a hideous smacking noise, his lips pressing together, his tongue – that long, hideous tongue of a true beholder – slurping and slipping along his mouth and jaw. Drool dripped and pattered onto the ground.
Lord Darkeye felt her back bump into something large and round. Disgusting, fetid breath exhaled around her thighs, making her feel as if she had been painted in oily grunk. A low, chucking laugh came from behind her – and Lord Darkeye felt herself freeze. Freeze utterly in mind consuming, sanity snapping terror. She knew that to turn was just as good as to stay standing – but at least turning to face the new beholder behind her would let her retain some dignity. But she couldn’t. Her knees were locked. Her breath was frozen in her throat. Tears brimmed at her eyes. Behind her, a voice she almost recognized growled. “Tasty. Tasty. Maybe we won’t even use our rays...
“Maybe we’ll eat you up!” The elf crooned. “Like how you ate my husband. I remember that. Yes. I remember that.”
“Start with the toes! Tasty tasty toes...” Brunt growled, floating closer and closer.
“Dominate her,” the halfling crooned, bringing the eye around that could charm and control minds. “Make her meek.”
“Eat! Eat! Eat!” The beholder behind Lord Darkeye chanted.
Lord Darkeye screwed her eyes shut.
A long tongue slurped along her back – coiling around her ankles. She screamed. She couldn’t stop herself. It was as reflexive as breathing or blinking. Her legs were yanked out from under her and her palms slapped against the ground. She scrabbled, screaming and screaming and screaming and-
Something smashed into the eyeball of the beholder behind her. Lord Darkeye felt it more as a rustle of wind along her back, a teasing of her hair, and a blessed feeling of release as the tongue unwrapped from around her ankles. She forced herself forward, dragging herself along the ground. Then, looking over her shoulder, she saw the beholder was recoiling, his eye closed, his eyestalks flailing in pain. And poised against his eyeball, like a gymnast ready to spring off a wall, arms spread in a near parody of a courtly bow ... was...
“Brash!” Brash the Dragon sang, then flipped off the beholder. He landed, his feet caked in gore. “Ahaaaaaaaa! He’ll save every one of us!” He grinned. “And when I say every one of us, I mean EVERY. LAST. ONE.” He reached out with his hand to Lord Darkeye, grinning as he did so.
Lord Darkeye gaped at him.
Then took his hand.
Brash tugged her up and behind him in a smooth motion. He smirked at the beholders that still gaped at him. He lifted up his hand, then focused. A crackling beam of red light exploded from his palm, forming into a sleek longsword made of psionic energy. Brash smirked. “I still haven’t lost this, mofos!”
The beholders all focused their main eyes. Shimmering cones of force exploded outwards, washing over Lord Darkeye and Brash the Dragon. The energies were contra-arcanic in nature – beholders used this power to dampen all magical powers. Normally, psychic powers would be uneffected. But the thing was? Arcane powers drew on what scientests of later eras would term Potential Psychic Energy, while psionic powers tapped a source that would be codified and measured with Internal Strength Points.
... but both were interchangable. Both were similar sources. Internal strength points were harder to dampen. But when three beholders forced every iota of their anti-magic fields on a single point, even internal strength could falter.
The psi-sword that Brash had relied upon for so long flickered, dimmed, then vanished.
The beholders all beamed.
Brash hung his head forward as Lord Darkeye pressed against his back, clinging to him. Her terror had receeded ever so slightly – enough for her to know that it was better to die with someone than alone. And maybe she could shove Brash into a beholder’s mouth and buy herself some time. Brash squeezed the hand he still held, clearly choosing to believe that Lord Darkeye was clinging to him for comfort.
“I’ve lost my shapeshifting,” Brash said. The beholders started to float forward, laughing. The one Brash had nailed in the eyes was starting to drag itself off the ground, groaning. “I’ve lost my flight. And my guns. And my arcane powers. And my psychic abilities. And my super-strength, regeneration, and even my harem.” He looked up, his eyes flashing as he smirked. The beholders were slavering, muttering to one another about how they were going to tear the two limb from limb.
“But there’s one thing no one took from me.” Brash smirked.
Then he ckicked his heels together.
The shoes he wore snicked and two sleek skates burst from the soles.
“These RAD ASS ROLLER SKATES!” Brash said, then swung Lord Darkeye’s feminine form into his arms. He leaped up and started to skate – the beholders all gaping in utter and complete shock. He shot past them, and they swung around, roaring in fury as Brash worked his legs – the gravity-blades leaving behind shimmering contrails as he rocketed towards the edge of this part of the hideous nightmare dimension. Lord Darkeye clung to him – but she was looking over his shoulder.
“Dodge!” she yelped.
Brash banked just before a criss-crossing stream of eye-lasers flew through where he had been. Then he was at the hole he had crawled through and shooting along a connective tunnel.
“Where are we going?” Lord Darkeye asked.
“I have no idea!” Brash said, laughing as he skated faster and faster. The echoing roars of beholders rang out behind them – and he knew that they would be flying as fast as they fucking could. So, he put on more speed. He swung wide around a corner, his gravity-blades cutting glowing arcs in the air as he almost went entirely perpendicular to the ground. But as he skated, he saw that the tunnel branched. There was the route back to where he came. Then there was the tunnel he had avoided. The glowing, faintly reddish tunnel that echoed with distnat screams.
“Okay!” Brash said. “Close your eyes, Lady Darkeye!”
“W-Why!?” Lord Darkeye asked. “And I’m not a Lady!”
“Your third person pronouns beg to differ!” Brash said, squeezing her to him. “Plus, we’re going somewhere where we absolutely DO NOT WANT TO HAVE EYES!” And with that, he put on more speed, swung towards the tunnel with distant screams, and closed his eyes tight. Lady Darkeye closed her eyes – and then snarled in irritation. Lord Darkeye, thank you very much.
Brash was blind. He could not see. And yet, he was skating forward with unerring precision, taking advantage of the fact that while he couldn’t see, he wasn’t seeing in first person. He was skating through the world at a distance, and the terrain around him was as clear to him as if he had been in a camera. And he was right. He did not want to have eyes in the place he skated through. The tunnel emerged into a vast room of meat and spikes and barbed wire. It was a place of screaming corpses and whimpering bodies. It was a place of frantic thrusting and grotesque orgies of blood and death and dismemberment. It was a place where the poor crew of that long ago starship had visited – a kind of gestalt nightmare.
Most people had specific fears.
But most people could be broken quite easily with a more generic fear: The fear of psychopaths skinning you alive and using your still sensate skin as a condom for barbed wire death orgies.
Brash manuvered around the upside down crucfixes, banked past the chain-demons, ducked beneath the spiked scrotum, and finally shot into another tunnel. When he opened his eyes, Lady Darkeye was shivering and clinging to him.
“Did you peek?” Brash asked, his voice tight.
“I-I still have ears!” Lady Darkeye hissed.
Behind them, the screams were split by roars of furious beholders and the unmistakable zzzzzap of their disintigration beams. Brash laughed. “Hey! They don’t place nice in this place!” he said, chuckling.
The next chamber they exploded through held four individuals. The fact they were the size of mountains did make it a touch odder than it would have been. Brash skimmed past the thigh of the immense, red man with fierce bull horns who sat before a table the size of a small continental plate. He held cards in his gargantuan hands. Poker cards. Across from him was a titanic bird-beaked creature covered in thousands upon thousands of eyes. The far end of the table held a grotesquely obsece green mound of rotting flesh. Across from that fellow was a gorgeous woman of purples, pinks, and futanari cocks. Like, at least six futanari dicks.
“Hi!” Brash shouted, waving up at them.
The four giants looked down at them.
“Who the fuck is that!?” the bull headed man snarled.
“I didn’t invite him,” the woman said, purring.
“Of COURSE YOU DID, YOU FUCKING SKANK!” The red skinned man bellowed.
“Hey, don’t be disrespecting peeps!” Brash shouted – but then they were out of the chamber, leaving the argument behind.
Lady Darkeye whimpered. “Do you know who those were?” she hissed.
“Not even a little!” Brash sang cheerfully. “Do you think the beholders are still chasing us?”
“I ... I don’t know...” Lady Darkeye shook her head. “What is this place?”
“It’s...” Brash skated forward.
And emerged into another chamber. But this one lacked any obvious tunnels. Instead, it was conical in shape, reaching outwards towards a broad, flat wall. That wall was dominated by a face – a face carved of metal and stone and bone, intermixing together as if each component had been carved out of a single piece, even if they shifted from material to material. The face was that of a ram-skull, with the gaping nostrils and the narrow ridge of bone and the curling horns. There was a rectangular recession on the forehead, and from that emerged a glowing red light. The rest of the chamber was dominated by vast, terraced steps. The walls were a glowing red and the steps reached down into a pit of bubbling, hissing lava.
Brash let his skating pause and his feet settled to the ground. He set down Lady Darkeye.
“Well, this looks like a last boss, definite!” he said, nodding.
Lady Darkeye’s eyes widened.
“Brash, we need to go,” she whispered.
“Why?” Brash asked, looking at her sidelong.
“That’s...” Lady Darkeye gulped. “T-That’s...”
“That’s Chez’Hgol.”
“Fedora!” Brash exclaimed, spinning around.
Trilby was standing behind them. He looked faintly insubstansial, as if he was only barely really there. His face was drawn and ashen, even without the translucent qualtiy to his skin. He stepped forward, not removing his hands from the pockets of his trousers. “Brash, this is exactly what I wanted to avoid.”
“Why? What’s so big about Cheesehole over there?” Brash asked, jerking his thumb over his shoulder at the vast face in the wall. The longer he stayed in the room, the more he became aware of a faint ... pressure. It was as if rubberbands were being snapped against his temples in a slow, continual cycle of pressure and release. Faint whispers clawed at the edge of his hearing and he tried to ignore them. Trilby’s jaw tightened.
“I took this form,” he said. “From your mind, Brash. This being, this fictional construct, was supposed to make communication easier.”
“ ... you did?” Brash asked. “I’ve never seen this guy before in my entire freaking life.”
“You haven’t?” Trilby blinked. Lady Darkeye nodded.
“I haven’t seen you before either,” she said.
“Well, of course not, you’re an alien.” Trilby said. “But ... I took this form! It fit all the narrative requirements for easy transmedial communications. And I took it from your memory. You definitely played the game Trilby is from on the 2nd of December this year, it should be a memetic concept fresh in your thoughts!”
Brash cocked his head, checking his internal clock. “Dude, it’s the 20th of November. December is next month.”
“It is?” Trilby asked.
Brash and Lady Darkeye both nodded.
“ ... drat,” Trilby said.
Brash reached over and squeezed his shoulder. “It’s okay! Give me the skinny on this Cheesehole guy!”
The pressure was growing thicker on Brash’s temples. He tried to ignore it as Trillby sighed and walked over to the edge of the first of the immense teraces. He looked over the edge, at the next level down. It was easily a ten foot drop. He frowned. “Okay. There exists two axii around which the multiverse pivots. On one end is the Night City. On the other is the City of O.”
“Shouldn’t be the Day City?” Brash asked.
“Don’t be absurd,” Trillby said, shaking his head. “The City of O maintains balance in the multiverse. There are some entities that should not be allowed into any particular universes. Chez’Hgol is one of them. He’s the Lord of Fear.”
Brash gasped. Then narrowed his eyes. “Wait, isn’t that Diablo?”
“Diablo is the Lord of Terror,” Trilby said, frowning.
“Oh, right,” Brash said, rubbing his chin. “Wait, I thought the city at the center of the multiverse was Sigil.”
“Sigil, O, Babylon, Centralis, Throne, the name doesn’t matter. It’s an echoing repeating meme, it has variations, damn it!” Trilby turned. “And I’m one of the Judges. I am supposed to maintain the balance. And you, Brash, are the key to Chez’Hgol conquering this realm!”
“Gaspiwhat!?” Brash asked. “How can Cheesehole escape? He’s a big old dumb face!”
“You’re infused with abyssal energies!” Trilby said, a sweeping gesture taking in all of Brash. “Ever since you dove between that damned Warsphere and the Earth, enough energy to rip open several thousand portals into the Abyss have filled you. Chez’hgol could use that to bring himself into your universe. And so ... he risked drawing the attention of the judges with a premtive intrusion into this dimension. A single tendril of fear, which reached right into the mind of a single dwarf.” He leaned forward. “Kira.”
Brash gasped.
“All he had to do was make her nervous about her future. Her father expected her to get married, to bring fame and power to the Dimaond Asteroids. And so, she pushed herself to find a way to do it...” Trilby said. “The quantum hoard. Which is nothing more than a ... a trap! A determanistic quantum-state ready to collapse into the most horrifying possible place for anyone who arrives. Say, a dragon infused with Abyssal energies.”
Brash looked over at Cheesehole. The vast face was seeming ... more...
Out. The wall seemed more and more three dimensional with every second, as if the vast ram’s head was pushing itself forward more and more. A nervous frission ran through his spine and he gulped slightly. “Okay, uh ... what do we do?” he asked.
“I don’t know,” Trilby said. “He’s already feeding on your energies. I can barely reach you for communication.”
Brash rubbed his chin. “Breath weapon?” he whispered.
“That’ll just piss him off,” Trilby said.
Lady Darkeye grabbed onto Brash’s hand. “Maybe we should run? Down the tunnels?”
“And go right back into the...” Brash blinked. Then he beamed. “Lady Darkeye, Trilbs, wait here!”
He sprang up, clicked his heels, then shot off. He skated away as fast as he could, his limber body moving into the perfect posture of a high speed roller derby girl. He vanished into the tunnel. Lady Darkeye put her hand to her chest, biting her lower lip – a strange nervous rumble shooting through her belly. Trilby arrched a sardonic eyebrow at her. Lady Darkeye glared at him.
“What?” she asked.
“Oh, nothing, nothing,” Trilby said.
Lady Darkeye glared at him.
In the distance, they heard rumbling. Then a roar. Then a bellow of pure fury. Lady Darkeye tensed, ready to fling herself out of the way. She saw Brash, emerging from the tunnel, his face and body soaked with what smelled like an immense amount of beer. He waved at them, then skidded to the side – avoiding at the very last second an immense red hand that shoved through the tunnel. It groped around, triyng to grasp at Brash ... before the tunnel snapped shut. The hand was severed with a spray of blood, blood that splashed over Lady Darkeye and Trilby, ruining his shirt and hat in one single, grotesque move. As the two stood in frozen, mute horror, Brash landed on the hand, rubbing his belly. “Turns out those beer cans were delicious!” he said, cheerfully.
“Beer cans?” Trilby muttered.
“Yeah! At the poker game! Can’t have poker without some beer!” Brash said, rubbing his belly even more.
“ ... delicious?” Lady Darkeye asked.
A slow, rumbling laugh started to grind out of the wall. It echoed off the walls and Brash turned to face it. The immense face off Cheesehole was now out enough to open the jaw and close the jaw in slow, grinding movements. The rectangular hole in the forehead was shimmering and crackling with a mixture of red and green lightning, the two strands wrapping around one another in writhing, wriggling displays of arcane energies. Brash smirked slowly.
“Do you know how I got my full loadout the first time?” Brash asked, cheerfully.
The lightning stabbed out. Again and again and again and again, Chez’hgol used the abyssal energies it had been siphoning off Brash – that faint pressure at his temples. With each stabbing impact, the abyssal energies were used to drop T’narri into the chamber. Demons, that is. Lots. And lots. And lots. Of demons. There were spined demons and chained demons and bone demons. There were drooling ugly looking beaky demons, multi-armed groper demons, and more than a few sexy demons. All of them looked more than a bit confused to be suddenly dropped down in this extraplanar arena.
Brash smirked.
“Cheesehole ... is looking a bit afraid. Almost like he realized I remembered that I can eat some raw materials ... and make...” He flicked out his wrist.
He hadn’t had time to digest properly chunky materals. People didn’t make beer cans – even beer cans for strange extradimensional beings – out of radioactives and exotic metals. He didn’t have much to work with.
The first thing I did once I was out of the medical bay was sprint forward, extrude my a cybernetic access spike, and smash it, knuckle first, into the nearest computer access port. Before you ask ‘hey, Brash, how do you get so awesome?’ the answer is I look up to my parents and work out my awesome muscles a lot. But if you ask the slightly more pertinent question of ‘hey, didn’t the evil jerk Dr. Palladium shut down your shapeshifting with her wrist computer after she extracted those evil...
Blackheart gaped at me. “I was waiting for, like, a whole year to use that line,” I said, cheerfully, twiddling my psi-sword slightly, drawing slow circles in the air with the glowing, humming point. Blackheart spluttered. “You waited to use that line, you jammy bastard?” “Yeah, it’s from Princess Bride!” I said. “I-” Blackheart spluttered even more, lowering the pistol from Kira’s head. As the pistol lowered from her head, Kira immediately brought her elbow slamming down into...
I was standing in a corridor. The floor was felt green carpeting and the walls were narrow and tall. It was an old house, like. Super old. Musty too. I sniffed at the air as I walked forward, looking around curiously. Hey! I was also not in my human form! I was in my dragon form – a small, cat-shaped, cat-sized, black scaled dragony ball of cuteness that bore zero resemblance to a cat. Well, not really a ball. But Dad always called me a ball of adorable, so some kind of ball-ness was...
Was there anything better in this grazy galaxy (the g makes it alliterative!) than being petted by your vampire fiancee while shapeshifted to look like a super fluffy kitten? Yes! And that would be being petted by your vampire fiancee while shapeshifted to look like a super fluffy kitten while your friendly neighborhood space princess gives you exposition and also you have hot chocolate. I nosed at the cup, not wanting to shift into a form that could drink from it yet, even as Cindi took her...
“Wait,” Cindi said, her hands holding up in an unconscious emulation of the guy from the alien channel talking about aliens. Like, you know, the image used on all those memes that came right after first contact where they replaced ‘aliens’ with ‘dragons.’ “Why the heck aren’t we going to his parents?” She thrust her finger at me, which made me wave at her excitedly. “That is a good question,” Princess Kira said, looking at me. “Oh! They’re busy,” I said, nodding sagely. “Mom and Dad are in...
Heather couldn't believe she was standing in the castle keep of the Dragon Mistress. Legends were told of this woman's power. The fear she command was only exceeded by her beauty. Her hair was long and thick, a fiery copper coloured. Her eyes were a commanding bright green, so green it was as though even in human form she couldn't keep the dragon from showing inside her. She sat on a throne and stared at Heather in a way that was both enticing and dismissive. Heather wanted to shuffle her...

Let me say right up front that Gunther was definitely not a young man.I knew he had been around the Santa operation at the North Pole long before I arrived with my bright ideas for cost reduction. I was called in to promote increased toy production by the easily distracted Elves. Those little imps preferred being silly rather than busy little workers focused on their quotas like dedicated employees. As a small-sized human male, I was able to relate easily to the female Elves because they liked...

04 June 2020 Darkness. That's all Flight Lieutenant James Robertson could see when he opened his eyes. No light seeped under a door or through a gap in a window's curtains. Where the hell am I? Is this death? No this wasn't death. His head hurt far too much for that to be the case. The aches and pains from the ejection were very much still there too. He tried moving but found himself chained to the wall, his hands over his head. His ankle throbbed in pain. It could be worse though,...

John was finishing up several things at the bank. He had some things to do as President, that he wanted to do on either Friday or Saturday. One of his Minute Women had designed a voting package where almost all the Representatives and Senators got to review any laws, comment on them on a blog and vote yes, or no on the measure. Dave Hendricks along with a dozen Minute Men and Women were resolving why five members of the House were not getting the internet connections. John signed his name on...
Ser Alec Longstroke (his last name a call to an ancestor who used a spear-like sword to defeat a foe one) had been riding his horse, which was wearing a white and red cloth caparison and who’s name was Fira, for almost a week now. He was a knight of a guild and he specialized in hunting what had done this to the countryside, dragons. His destination was the Castle Rooker, a place that a dragon would have rested before it moved on. It was his hope that the dragon was still there and that the...

Sorkana's Rise, on Dragon Wings By: Malissa Madison She lay atop D'ven, her body shivering in the aftermath of ecstasy like she had never known before. There had only been two other experiences in her life that made her feel this good. The day she had Impressed Gayleth, and the day she had risen in her first mating flight. His hand came up, his fingers gently tracing the lines of her face. "As much as I would like to do this all day, we need to get around. B'nard is due back with...
The Dragon and the Wager By Morpheus With a deafening roar, the enormous reptilian creature easily soared through the air, his body held aloft by a pair of powerful leather wings. Nearly every inch of the creature was covered with thick, virtually impervious scales and from the end of his long tail to the tip of his snout, he was a creature to be feared. If his sheer size alone weren't enough, a single glance at his long claws or vicious saber like teeth were enough to terrify any...
I acknowledge this story will not be everyone's cup of tea. I also acknowledge that this is probably a rather niche genre. I make no apologies for that but I do hope it finds an audience. The tags below should give you an idea of what content is within. The sex in this chapter is somewhat limited but I promise there will be far far more of it in Chapter 2 and it will involve both men and women. Finally. I'm definitely a bit of an aviation geek, as you'll probably tell if you read on,...
The following new characters appear in this chapter: Muadhnait Graham Doctor, OB/GYN, an older woman of indeterminate age, but surely more than 70 years old.

Gerald Employee, Dragon offspring, 5’-11’’ tall, 185 pounds, 28 years old, black hair, dark eyes By the time we were finished, I was famished. All of the flying, and the repairs had taken a lot of work and Magic. The four of us flew back...
Knight Angela – Dominari’s Lair, The Despeir Mountains Lady Delilah’s draconic jaws opened above me. My arms burned. The power of Gewin’s blessing buttressed my limbs, keeping the immense weight of the dragon from crushing me as her claw pinned me to the cave floor. But as I looked into her open jaw at the sharp teeth dripping, the reek of sulfur of her breath, I saw my death. I had failed. My companions were scattered, dead or dying. She was too much for us. I grit my teeth, straining...
Dragon's first Flight pt.2As Dragon slowly returns to the land of present, I remove the spreader bar from between her legs and decide I need one last taste of her lovely pussy juice. On my way back up to untie her hands from above her head, my tongue finds each of her still perky nipples and gives them a little flick each. Finally, I untie her hands and I help her ease them down to her side. If anyone has had their arms tied above their head, they'll know that your arm muscles kind of go...
Over the course of the next three months the dragon had to sleep spell the woman a lot as she would go into hysterics or act as though she was going to try to hurt herself. But by the end of the third month, they both knew there was something different and wrong going on. The child was growing at a very fast rate and the dragon decided that the woman couldn't grow any more and size shifted the child so that it could continue to grow as well as letting the woman survive. That was also when...

The water was cold, and dark, but the hands that gripped her ankles and pulled her down were colder. The babes in her womb stirred. Fear. Her babies were scared. Anger boiled in Alluna’s veins and her body began to glow beneath the inky black sea water. The mermaids’ faces looked at her in alarm. They were not pretty creatures. Their hair swirled around their scaly fish-eyed faces. Full lips pulled back to reveal their needle-like teeth as they dragged her deeper. “Release me,” Alluna...
SupernaturalVirlane stood outside his lair, he spread his wings and stretched, his neck arching, he flexed his talons and sighed with pleasure, he turned to watch Trink heading down the mountain path muttering about donkeys and his most treasured assets. Virlane entered his lair, prowling around, looking, touching, smelling, it was all there, just as he had left it, not that there had been any doubt, Dragons are just rather possessive about their hoards. He went into his study, touching his books that...

I slid the report into the proper file just as he walked into the room. Dennis Butz stood there wearing his three-piece suit, looking as handsome and charming as any man could. But I was not to be tamed by his charm. "Hello, Linda," he said with a friendly grin. "Judge Herns isn't in today," I replied back in a frosty tone. "I'm not here to see her." "My plane leaves in less then an hour Dennis, what do you want?" I slammed the file drawer shut and walked past him to my desk...
It appeared that the world had turned upside down during our time in the mountain. A few quick looks outside revealed a number of things. The light from the mid-afternoon sun, which was on the west side of the mountain, revealed at least 20 Dragons in the sky over and around this side of the mountain from my point of view. There were probably more that I couldn’t see. They were in a multitude of colors. In the cove below, there were a large number of their followers, or as I realized now,...
Dragon's first flightOn my way to the airport to pick up Dragon, I'm sweating already, even though it's only 50 degrees outside. I arrive at the short term parking lot at the airport with my balls aching at the workout I'm sure they will get over the next 2 days. You see, Dragon and I have been KIK friends for over 2 years now and have been, how do I say it, very intimate with each other. We've both exchanged nude pics of ourselves to the other one and even had a couple of video calls,...
SRU: Paper Dragon By Kim West I wish to thank Bill Hart for creating the SRU Universe and allowing others to have a chance to play in it. The story I have come up with is loosely based on "Puff the Magic Dragon." I hope you will enjoy the following. There once was a little rascal by the name of Jack Paper who loved to destroy everything in his path. His bedroom looked like a cyclone had hit it, and this would be only moments after his mother had cleaned it for him. His toys usually...

The trio of young Wizards appeared outside of the building where Kennith had previously worked a few seconds after leaving the Ley Line Wizards building. They smiled on seeing the wards around the building. Joining hands, they cast a spell to crash not only all of the wards protecting the building, but in addition, all of the wards that those working there were monitoring or closing...

The sun was half way down when they saw the village. In the woman's mind it had not changed one bit as they came to land in the field behind her home. It had also been decided that Dracon would not call her mother as that would start a whole new set of problems. There were screams and yells and then men with axes, pitchforks and bows, there were even a sword or two came running. They all stopped as the woman's son set his mother down gently. "You can put your weapons away." None moved....

The box was plain, wrapped in brown packaging paper and secured with brown twine. Her parents sent her one of these packages each month, normally they were made up of her favourite chocolate and new clothes but something felt different about this box, it was slightly heavier than the last she had...
Master / Dragon's Desire Once upon a time, in a land that existed long ago, there was a small and quaint little village. This village was absolutely marvelous. It had people that knew everyone in town and they all live in harmony for the good of the village. The men worked the fields and the mills and the women taught the c***dren and cooked the meals. They even had a beautiful little stream that run through the middle of the village. Even the buildings in the village were beautiful. The most...

Dragon's Flight pt3Seeing Dragon laying there with her gaping pussy gets my juices flowing and I climb on top of her pushing her legs together. As I begin to slide my cock into her, I grab a handful of her hair and pull her head back toward me. My cock is rock hard as I ease into her pussy and I can feel her juices flowing along my shaft. Slowly I fuck her and with every stroke Dragon moans. I lean over to her right ear and whisper, "Are you enjoying yourself? I know that I am." All that...
When I masturbate, I imagine that my penis is a dragon.If my penis were a dragon, he would be deep reddish-gold and bigger than a horse. He’d have two strong legs and two bat wings with a span even longer than he is. He’d have scaly pointed fox ears, whiskers, long sharp teeth, and eyes that you’d better not look into.Most of the time, the dragon sleeps, curled up in a ball like a cat. Or he wakes, stretches, yawns, and goes back to sleep.But at night he wakes up, and I can feel him in my chest...
MasturbationOh, you already know what it is, it’s Bad Dragon, and I’m about to pop off. These things have been taking over the market like it’s nobody’s business, and I am not surprised. Bad Dragon, as a company, has changed the shape of the ideal male penis. That’s how fucking influential they’ve become. It is now out of style to have a regularly shaped penis. You have to sport a dragon cock, or else you don’t get the pussy. I have a gigantic penis, so naturally, none of the women I’ve ever fucked have...
Online Sex Toys ShopsTraining is in the eye of the beholder, like many other things, I guess. Being trained by a semi-imaginary six foot tall blue lizard? That's just a little strange, even for me, and I've seen some strange stuff. River has spent a good bit of time in the Imhur, so I know she's seen some stranger stuff than I have. What I found truly interesting was the lizard's continual use of what I would have called 'Earthisms', phases and attitudes that seemed to have been drawn from the...

We were close to the cave; you could see a thin trail of smoke fluttering out of its entrance; the air warming the closer we got. My ears detected some mix of a growl and a purr emanating from the cave as well that sent a strong tingle fluttering down my spine making my muscles clench; I knew I was being watched. “Send him in…” the deep voice rumbled; more tingles and not just in my spine… They took off my chains and got me just out of site into the darkness; and left me for dead. Or so...
The Dragon Slayer By Toni Marks Copyright © 2017 Mary Robinson watched her son Tom finishing his oatmeal. She had lovingly prepared the hot cereal with raisins and brown sugar, just the way her son liked it. Tom was such a good boy, so unlike his older brother. In truth, they were only half brothers. Tom was the natural son of Ed Robinson, Mary's husband until his untimely death eighteen months ago. She and Tommy had taken it hard, but not as severely as Martin, her oldest...
Prologue Sunlight poked through the cracks of the window shutters; glittering rays dancing across the grey stones of the tower room floor. Alluna hadn’t opened the shutters, unable to bear the sight of another perfect day. The scene would be the same—the tall grass in the field rolling and swaying with the caress of summer breeze, surrounded by a sea of deep green forest beyond. The trees always danced and whispered amongst themselves, making Alluna envy them. They were surrounded by their own...
SupernaturalA squirrel quietly munched an acorn. It looked up, and noticed a translucent figure approaching. "Boo" the ghost tried. The squirrel seemed unimpressed and casually moved on to another acorn. The ghost drifted lightly over the ground, back and forth, searching, blending with the early morning fog. Ahead loomed a building; perhaps this was the place it seeks. It was the Chapel. No help there for a ghost. "Nooooooo!" the ghost cried, hauntingly. "Why will no one help me?" "Perhaps,"...
Note: This is part of a larger work featuring a Dragon called Norman. The land (the Kingdom) where he lives is not found on modern maps, and the stories are as passed down by the great story-tellers of history. It was/is written purely for fun. And yes, it is English English. If you are looking for a story loaded with sexual encounters, look elsewhere. Those who stay the course may find a little gentle amusement. Positive comments are welcome. © Handley_Page, 2011. From the annals of ‘Norman...

One of her prize studs, Stallion, needed a new handler because his last had recently retired. Viktoria didnt want to hire a woman for the position, knowing Stallions temperment and demeaner he would not listen to a female handler.

Princess Johna's faithful unicorn steed, Sparkle, teleported into the Dragon's den right behind the owner's unwilling guest. He used his horn to cut the ropes which were bidding his rider's hands. As Sir Dragon was preparing to react to his uninvited guest; the damsel, who was no longer in distress, jumped on the back of her faithful companion and got the lance from the side of the saddle. Princess Johna, the pretty pretty dragon slayer, said, as she was riding her charging unicorn...
BY THE FIRST LIGHT OF DAWN, Steven was up with his bedroll packed and his staff in his hand. Jasper arose sleepily and slowly. “Do we have to leave already?” he said plaintively. “It’s hardly morning.” “You don’t have to leave, my friend,” said Steven, “but I want to be on the road and searching for the dragon.” “Can you wait while I get ready?” Jasper asked. Reluctantly, Steven agreed, but couldn’t help pacing back and forth in impatience. 103,320. 103,321. Steven had added three hundred...
For those who have been waiting on this chapter, I apologize for the length of time it took to publish. It took a long time to figure story out and with setbacks from my computer crash and subsequent loss, this chapter has been written and rewritten a ton. I hope it is enjoyable and look to continue this story. The sun glinted off Ser Alec’s armor as he exerted himself in battle. A continuous fight that plagued him every few seconds while he climbed a path etched into the side of...
Isaac stared at the tiny glass bottle that had hung undisturbed around his neck for so many years. He had never thought to open it. Not once. But now it and a family legend were his only chance of surviving the night. In his other hand was the tiny dart which had pierced his skin. The rest of his squad had died in the ambush - twelve good men and women, dead at the hands of the Dark Mage's nightmarish creatures! He had survived, somehow, with only the dart in his shoulder. He might as well have...

Alluna looked up to see the underbelly of a gold dragon. Just ahead was another Gold, and two Reds flew to either side of her. The one with the crown of horns turned his head. Alluna wasn’t sure, but she could have sworn the Red dragon grinned and winked at her. “Oh, gods,” she gasped. The air around her was getting thinner and colder as they soared higher. She was having trouble breathing. Her face was suddenly pressed against shimmering golden scales. The dragon clutched her to his chest....

Edited by Bird Dog Everyone said dragons did not exist, but my family had a story of a dragon. It told of how two dragons had fought and one had died. Of course, everyone laughed at us when we told the story. I guess we could have told them where the cave the dragon died was, but that was our family secret. I was fourteen and wanted to be a soldier or knight. Besides our farm, we had no money to pay for armor or weapons. I thought of the dragon story, and considered selling scales or a claw....
