“Mother! We’re home –!” Bells sang, bursting through the door, dragging Eigis behind her.
Outside the sun was halfway through sinking behind the horizon, and it was almost night. A tall, long boned woman turned from where she’d been preparing a batch of rolls for the oven. She was wearing a ruffled homespun apron decorated with a cross-stitch of daisies over traveling clothes and armor. A welcoming smile lit up her angular, fox like face, making her half moon shaped eyes crinkle up.
“Welcome back. I was just about to go look for you after the rolls were done.”
A long spear wrapped in a worn leather sheath and a pack were ready and waiting at the end of the table. The spear had seen much use, the shaft enforced with metal sleeves and rings, decorated in distinct silver and black braided leather in the shape of eyes.
But then her sharp nose twitched, and she sniffed, her body already tense as she sensed danger. Her half open gaze found Eigis, who was painfully rising to his feet, rubbing at his chained wrists. The demon looked up, and their eyes met.
Bells and Hiryu’s mother had eyes the color of mirrors. Mirrors that reflected death.
His hearts, all three of them, stopped beating. He bent over, gasping for air, unable to breathe, as her eyes opened just a little bit wider. One taloned hand pressed against his chest, where his triple hearts felt as if they were being squeezed by an invisible hand. He sank breathless to the floor.
“Nooo!” Sensing her mother’s deadly intent, Bells flung herself between them, wrapping her arms tightly around Eigis, pressing his head down against her shoulder, hiding him from that terrible gaze. “No, don’t kill him Mother! Please!”
Trembling badly from escaping his own death by mere seconds, the demon allowed her to hold him. He did not even attempt to bite her, although both his mouth and nose were pressed against her warm, delicious smelling skin, just above her collarbone.
“Bells,” said her mother, in a voice that made all three of Eigis’s hearts stop beating again for a horrible second, “Why are you protecting a demon? And why did you bring him into this house?”
“I told you to leave him outside and explain everything first,” Hiryu remarked as he stepped inside. “Hello, Mother.”
Her eyes closed briefly, scrunching up into a smile although humans were not affected by her gaze the same way demons were (unless she was angry at them), her expression softening as she smiled at her son. “I’m so glad you’re back Hiryu, and not dead as I expected. Although you seem to have had a bad fight. But tell me later.” *HAVE HER HUG HIM & BE MORE RELIEVED.
Her expression turned deadly as she returned her attention back to her daughter, who was looking absolutely stubborn, still clutching Eigis tightly.
“Well? Explain yourself?”
“Eigis isn’t a bad demon, Mother,” Bells burst out at once. “He’s very adorable. I mean, he did try to eat Hiryu. But he likes fish better! I’m going to make him into a good demon. And – and – he’s so cute and fluffy! Please, please let me keep him!” She stroked Eigis’s orange ears fondly, tears filling up her eyes. “If you kill him, I’ll never forgive you!”
Her mother’s dark, winged eyebrows rose in astonishment, while her brother smacked himself on the forehead, groaning at his sister’s ridiculous arguments. Meanwhile, Eigis waited, hardly able to believe it that he actually owed his life to this human girl, whose goal in life seemed to be trying to describe him in the most humiliating way possible. He couldn’t decide if he was more disgusted at being protected by one human or mortally terrified of another.
What is the nature of demons? Are they the demons case down by god, the spawn of Satan, as humans tend to believe? Do they come from a different world? What are they? Demons come from all over the worlds. They are dimension travelers, but most specifically, they are beings that feed off of life. They are parasites. There are few that know the true origin of demons, most of them being the first demons. Some of them are still alive. Stories claim that the demons came originally from a harsh...
Angels and Demons By Morpheus This is a story idea that had been bouncing around in my head for over a year before I finally decided to start writing it. Originally, I'd envisioned it as an anime series and as such, I ended up writing it as a serial and posting it on Big Closet and the TG Fiction Yahoo group over a period of about two months. Part 1 I leaned back in the passenger seat of my vehicle, silently listening to the radio. There wasn't any music playing or...
Rain fell across the battlefield, soaking the dead with its heavy drops, its runoff mingling with blood, mud, and tears. But Tristan paid it little heed, save to mark the change in footing as he swung his heavy broadsword to and fro, cleaving enemies and friends alike. A bloodlust had come over him, and his mind made little distinction between the two. There was him, and then, there were enemies. What lay between mattered little. He was a berserker, and one of the most feared of his...
I am a vampire. I did not turn as any other has. I was not bitten by a vampire. I had no sponsor into the world of darkness. No one showed me the canal from which to draw power. My beginning is clouded in mystery, even from my own memories. I simply am. I was not from this world called Earth. I arrived from another world. I came from chaos. I come from a world of fire. My world was a place where the air is so thick with sulfurous gas and toxic smoke that nothing can survive simply by itself....
With a horrible snap, he bit off the finger where it connected to his hand. Hiryu jolted horribly at the sound, then gasped as the demon reached into his own mouth and pulled out the severed finger, now mere chewed bone. Hiryu swallowed hard, grimacing, his fingers on his right hand curling defensively, although he’d felt no pain. ****WOULD THERE BE PAIN – NERVES? He watched in disgust and an odd fascination as Eigis stuck the larger end into his mouth and broke off a piece with another loud...
Every so often one of the men would shoot their thick, hot load inside Princess Humblunt or douse her skin heavily, leaving the princess so thoroughly slathered that just touching her would leave you filthy. By the time each of the men had finished destroying their toy they were so exhausted and drained that they hardly noticed the princess had gotten a little too eager and sunk two of her teeth into each of their shafts while she was sucking them dry. The princess was not specifically...
When Eigis came back he immediately felt a sense of forbidding. The demon’s eyes were bright with hunger, and he moved quickly, scooping up the canister and circling around to stand behind Hiryu in the space of a breath. The young warrior gritted his teeth in disgust, hands clenching into helpless fists, as the demon’s warm wet tongue licked the back of his neck. “I’m glad you used the cream,” Eigis whispered. “Oh, and I forgot to mention, it’s made to make you smell really...
“I’m coming, I’m coming!” Phil called, hurrying to the door. He was suspicious about someone pounding on his door, since the hotel specialized in guarding their resident’s privacy. Yet it wasn’t unknown for individuals to slip past the front desk. The odds it might be a reporter were offset by the chance someone was seeking assistance. Opening the door, he was confronted by two familiar faces. “Officers Smithers and Andrews? This is quite a surprise. What did I do this time?” The same...
Eolfica hid behind the dense tangled brush and watched the small gray hare leap away. “It is your lucky day, little one,” she called after it. “I am not so hungry today that I would kill—” She stopped herself in mid-sentence when she saw the blood on the leaves of the thicket. Looking down, the lone huntress saw the impression of a large boot on the mossy forest floor. She discovered another footprint nearby. After drawing an arrow from her quiver she followed the trail deep into the forest. *...
Fantasy & Sci-FiCaden wandered between the spires, his boots sinking into the red sand as he trudged along, sweat stinging his eyes. He had set out in what he knew was an Easterly direction that morning, marching towards the sunrise, but he had a far less accurate idea of where he was going now that it was hanging directly above his head. All that he could do was keep heading straight, but the lay of the land meant that he couldn’t help but take a twisting, winding path through the reefs. The reptiles...
A torrent of thoughts rushed through Jaux's head at the mention of demon. Her wand was called the demon root, but the old shopkeeper had assured Jaux that the wand wasn't being literal with the name. The wand did still have something to do with the transformation. It had led Jaux to the black statue, and it was the origin to the purple light. Then Jaux thought about the black statue. She had never seen a statue made of dark stones before. Her new violet eyes and the statue's...
Christmas is approaching again. Before my ex wife left ten years ago, Santa was still alive and well in my daughter’s imagination. I enjoyed the holiday season back then, never letting anyone forget what Christmas was really about. The last Christmas we were together we attended midnight service singing His praise. By New Year’s Eve she had left, moving in with some man that I had no idea even existed. She never voiced any interest in seeking custody of our daughter. I’m glad she didn’t. My...

Hiryu tensed, ready to experience pain. To his surprise the demon did not immediately attack. Eigis stepped back, the black silts of his gold eyes opening wide and then narrowing with interest as he evaluated the stocky, muscular young man standing before him. After a minute or so he tilted his slender, fine boned head to one side, a talon tapping his sharp chin, a thoughtful look on his face. Hiryu waited, but the demon did not move, except his eyes, traveling up and down as if memorizing...
“Are you ready to give up yet?” The demon asked, lifting up the young man’s chin and twisting his head around so they could look at each other. “Remember, the question is not when you will die, but how long it will take. If you do, I’ll grant you the kindness of killing you before I finish eating you. Well, at least to the point where you are more or less unconscious. I hate eating dead things.” A brief look of revulsion crossed his handsome, blood smeared face. It was a temping offer, but...
Akane Two-Ranma 1: To Be a Warrior at Last? By Ron Dow75 Nude and wet, Akane had just gotten out of the furo/sunken bathtub in her family's Japanese-style bathroom. Even after the soak, she was still cursing herself for having let Kuno get a strike on her with his wooden bokken sword. The boys at school were her only real challenge as a martial artist. If Upperclassman Kuno had won, not only would her honor be at risk, but her reputation as a girl! He already had a warped view...
Introduction: Angels and Demons are two warring factions, each in their own separate dimensions, that have a standing bet on the souls of humanity. Why they have such a bet is unknown. Angels represent the best part of humanity. Although they too can have sinister agendas of their own. They are immortal but not invincible. Demons represent the worst of humanity. Although they are also responsible for mankind's continued growth. They too are immortal but not invincible. Half-breeds can be...
BDSMHiryu was standing, ready and waiting, when Eigis sauntered back an hour later. The orange eared demon noticed his determined expression and his ears quirked in interest. “Ready for some more?” The warrior gave a curt nod. The demon stepped closer. One hand shot out, talons slashing his other cheek. A smack opened up the cuts wider. Bending close, he sucked up another mouthful of blood before setting to in earnest. This time he seemed less interested in eating and more about playing. He...
Even as Eigis was asking her brother which limb he would like to lose, Bells finally reached the demon’s house, sometime around dawn, having followed her brother’s tracks to it. It was sometime after the demon had gone upstairs to check on the time. She had walked practically all night, stopping at one point to catch a few hours sleep in a tree, and have breakfast. She was a little tired, but ready for a fight. The gate, a heavy affair carved from stone and set with steel bars, was neatly...
Warrior of the Chevaan Conine "The Discipline of the Lash" In the dungeons of the Roman fortress Conine stood silent, her wrists heldclose together before her by the manacles and the connecting length of chain. Herface was a mask of clam, but inside the proud warrior woman raged at herselffor allowing herself and Satyra to be taken unawares so easily. She hadnot seen the beautiful half satyr since the two of them had been set upon bythe Roman soldiers, but her mind crowded with imagined...
Fall of Artemisia, Warrior-Queen of HalicarnassusXerxes had always believed that the lovely Artemisia I of Caria would make a far lovelier harem-slave than Satrap. Nonetheless being a generous and benevolent GodKing, he offered to make her Satrap of his conquered Greek provinces, if she could prove her mettle in battle. Xerxes was most impressed by her daring naval attacks at the Battle of Salamis.The Cretan Princess rammed against Greek ships with the courage of a Man. But as the tide turned...

Celtic Warrior 1: Ulrike’s Quest On the receding edge of the great Northern ice sheet Approximately 11,000 BC He was tumbling through the air when he became conscious. The cold rushing past him tried to pull his breath out of his lungs. He flayed his arms and legs desperate to find some stability and leverage. His falling body rotated and the earth below came into view, a great expanse of white to his left and bright shades of green to his right. He landed against a gentle sloping wall of...
“So you’ve been medically cleared to continue?” Phil asked when Abe and Tracy accompanied Meg back to the treatment area. “Yeah, despite a few bumps, I’m officially concussion free,” she declared. “I figured as much, after you trailed Ted for so long.” “You should talk,” she countered. “How’s your neck? I wasn’t the one who was strangled.” “My neck’s fine, though I may not stick it out quite so far the next time.” “I think she should call it a day,” Abe said, holding his niece. “She’s...
Jori quizzed me as we rode, asking about my hunting experience and making sure I knew how to stalk game—and men. I assured him that, not only could I stalk game, but had brought my hunting clothing. I had clothing dyed in various colors to provide camouflage in different terrains. I even had black for hunting at night and white for hunting in the snow. The clothing had also been waterproofed in case of rain or snow. He asked about our clan’s history, and I told him the tale of them leaving...

She felt the pain inside her begin to subside with each step the demon took up the spiral stone staircase. Her crying slowed to soft sobs and she began to forget about the tears falling to the floor below her. She had never felt this way before. Confused and angry, yet soothed and calm. She didn't think to struggle, she knew what was below her, and was too afraid of what might be ahead. They climbed the staircase for so long she actually began to fall asleep. He shook her awake as he...
Introduction: Comments?? The Drivers had come and loaded the captive girls into a large wooden cage being pulled by the horses. They threw a thick black tarp over the cage. The girls were never to know the way back to their villages. They would lead new lives now, part of the Demons Harem. The girls had been taken underground again to a much larger cellar, this time with a concrete floor and proper lighting. Much cleaner, yet still bleak and dreary. Mara, the girl with the short black hair...
Mother Son Tube! It takes a lot of sack to create a tube site that has such a narrow niche. Of course, any porn webmaster that wants to play it safe would want to churn out a tube site that hits all the marks. That would make a lot of sense. But any webmaster worth their weight knows that if you want to stand the fuck out, you have to take the risk and go niche.That’s the gamble that the minds behind Mother Son Tube are taking. And I have to fucking say it; I think their gamble fucking paid...
Incest Porn SitesWhen the last of their guards died, the slaves cheered and then continued with their tasks so they would be working when Zalko approached. I hid next to the road that Zalko would use. Wanting him alive so we could question him, I readied my seldom used but often practiced with sling to knock him out, watching as he slumped sideways and fell off the horse. Just from the way he fell, I had little hope that I’d be able to question him. Thinking that he was still alive, the slaves from the...
Eigis took a deep breath. “Thank you for your consideration, but I’ve already reached my decision. I have had plenty of time to think it over on the way up.” Everyone looked up, curious and apprehensive, waiting for his answer, as he faced Lady Death Eyes. “I want to live. I choose to accept your offer, and discover if I can live without devouring humans.” Bells cheered, her bells ringing noisily as she attacked him with a delighted hug from behind, making them both almost fall. As Eigis...
In the land of the living dead, a piercing cry is heard. The scream of a wounded bird. In the Sacred silence, its pain a warrior hears. Because its pain is his own, he sheds a single tear. Walking with Creation, seeing nature flow, He wonders how this pain can no longer be his own. From the land of the Spirit, a voice rings clear, withhold not yourself from those you hold dear. For in the land of the Shaman you step within the void. You bridge the Creator’s power, his rhythms you...
Surrounding kingdoms that knew of the cursed lands, known as the ring of ashes, often forbid anyone from going near such a place and felt it was better left forgotten. So long as only the peasant villages between the nobility and the ring of ashes were seeing people disappear every night it wasn't exactly a big deal. Then things changed, and nobles began to disappear as well. At first it was only a small handful of lower class nobles, and all except their closest relatives made little of it,...
It didn’t matter to the lost warrior. All his life he had only known one thing, and that was war. He had been raised to be a soldier, far braver and more skilful than any before, which he had become for a while. He had been a presence on the field of battle that could inspire thousands of men whose faces he never knew or would ever know, and a hero to so many. But now he was tired. He wanted no more to be a part of this world nor the wars the ravaged it. There was no more purpose in his...

It was a meager office with a desk that had a small tape recorder hidden under the desk. Her fathers way of keeping his things safe.

Mara The Warrior A Note Before: In the period when Fictionmania was "off the air" I was reading a lot of sword and sorcery fantasy books, including some by Terry Pratchett. So I decided to try my hand at the genre, keeping in mind that I dislike stories that "poof" change the hero into a heroine at the beginning for no logical reason. Prologue: Captain Andrus walked between the cells in the dungeon making sure the three remaining prisoners were securely locked up and...
Phil was nearly at his car, avoiding glancing at those he passed for fear of creating awkward encounters, when his phone rang. “Hello, Walker Plumbing, Phil Walker speaking.” “Dad? This is Toni. When you were in the city yesterday, did you notice anything unusual?” Instantly on guard, he stopped to give her inquiry his full attention. “Not really, why?” “There are some news reports of someone attacking the homeless in public parks. I was wondering whether you heard or saw anyone acting...
Once a upon a time, a long long time ago yesterday in fact. Today I began my plan to catch the elusive one. The one who rescues clothespins from clotheslines. The plan was a simple one to string up 7 clotheslines facing the wind knowing that if she was near that she might hear the cries of the clothespins. Now that the 7 lines were up I just had to wait and hope the wind would do it's job and carry the cries of the clothespins. This quest started years ago when I first put a clothespin on my...
“Ah, our honored guests arrive,” UW President, Nathan Kelly, announced, standing. Phil and Meg entered his office. “We asked where we should go, and they directed us here rather than the research lab,” Phil explained, glancing around. “That was my fault,” Nathan answered, leaning over to speak into his intercom. “Virginia, could you call Nancy and Tracy in?” “Already done, Dr. Ellison. I called them as soon as Mr. Walker arrived. They should arrive shortly.” “Excellent, Virginia. Thanks,...
The latest horrors in Hell were demons. I had completed a year and six months as a scout and stalker. Some of us that had earned a reputation were approached by senior officers. They wanted men that could move through Hell to hunt demons. The bonuses and incentives were a lot, including our children being exempt from the draft. I had nothing and no one except what had come out of Hell so I joined. I was close to the north end of Hell and moved out of the tiny hut I had been in. I had a lot of...

The girls had been taken underground again to a much larger cellar, this time with a concrete floor and proper lighting. Much cleaner, yet still bleak and dreary. Mara, the girl with the short black hair that had been brutally violated at the gathering, was separated from the group. She left with the group of guards the brutish reptilian-like threshers. The rest of the 7 girls were transferred into new care, a group of creatures with quite different physical attributes. They were tall...
The leader of the demon guards, Cail, had successfully scared the girls into complete silence. He separated them into 6 cages by themselves, lining the now fully lit hallway they had seen the young unconscious blonde girl get carried down only moments ago. Six demons for the six remaining girls. They sat or stood quietly, awaiting the worst. Cail spoke to them like the slaves they were. You will not struggle. You will not fight. Not if you value the precious soft skin on your bones, you wont....

First chapter in a bit of a twisted series I’ve had in my head for a while. Bon appetite. Criticism, as always, is appreciated. **************** ‘9441. That is what you’re called is it not? I request that you rise immediately.’ Yeah sure, like she had any obligation to pay anyone even the slightest bit of attention ever since she was thrown in this hell hole. She smiled at the unintended pun. ‘Nope, not a damn reason.’ The smile almost immediately wore off. She didn’t like the way that...
Campfires lit the dark forest, casting long, dancing shadows between the trees. Clustered around them were soldiers clad in combat gear, their rifles leaning on nearby trunks or hanging over their shoulders on slings. They muttered quietly, making idle conversation as they waited for the order to move out. The squad had been assigned by the Grand Lodge to take out a rogue summoner and his familiars who were holed up in a nearby grove, but it was protected by magic that was beyond the order’s...
RAMIE? Please don’t leave me, Ramie. I’m frightened. Where are you? Don’t leave me here alone! I was dreaming. Had to be dreaming. Miranda was dead. Please, please, take me with you, Ramie? I’m so frightened. Please. She was begging me and sounded so much like my Miranda. I wanted to take her into my arms and hold her. I wanted desperately to believe I was back in her body. That she was alive and we could watch our baby grow up. We would change history! “Miranda? How... ? Was it a...
June 6: I resolve to write all my thoughts, my hopes and my dreams, my fears and my angers, my hatred and my love, to understand them and control them, in this diary as the year unfolds. It will be the story of the last year of this age, and the beginning of the next. Nobody, needless to say, will ever read this collection of my thoughts, except myself, so I have freedom to say what I will. "Mahdi, come here."

He sat on his ass and pulled me toward him. I was on my knees either side of him with my ass sitting on his upper leg. Our eyes were at the same level which showed how big he was compared to me. He grabbed the back of my neck and we started kissing hard. His tongue again intertwined with mine.I felt his hard cock pushing against my cock and my stomach. I couldn’t help but look down while he moved his kisses under my ear. I saw our cocks touch one another and I marveled at the size difference.He...

The demon snarled at his disappearing back, but took advantage of his momentary absence and Bells apparent distraction to try and attack her. It failed, and he ended up sprawled on the ground, whimpering with pain, ignoring the girl’s sad sigh and disappointed look. Presently the big, orange and yellow cat came around the side of the building. Eigis sat up, brushing himself off haughtily and eyeing the feline curiously as it trotted up. He’d seen cats before of course, but had never really...
I was a little unhappy with John for buying us such expensive gifts. Sherri loved her heart shape diamond necklace and to be truthful I loved my diamond tennis bracelet, as I had always wanted one. This man was full of surprises, as I had never gotten an expensive gift without having to have done something for it. John even helped us with putting the grocery away I had brought home. As he did, he told me about a business seminar his company was to attend in a few weeks. He explained it was...
At the age of three I was taken from my mother. I was taught to walk, run and fight. I was taught the spear and sword, the knife and dagger. I learned to use slings or bows and all of that before I was even ten. By eighteen I could hold my own against any or all the weapon masters. That was when the purges and assassinations began and the king and nobles fled. I was with a new company of warriors called the Bronze Warriors. It was because our chain and scale armor was the color of bronze even...
Glint was a pretty blue green world with twelve other planets in the system and three far asteroid belts on the rim. Like all Kaire we were hunters and warriors but we were also space miners. We had six huge refining stations and two major mining platforms as well as a very large ship construction station. There were twelve large major clans in the system not counting the few visiting or looking for a new clan site as well as Noss and Sizz. The Noss were mostly on two southern continents and...
“Uh, I think this is the wrong place.” “It’s the correct address,” Phil insisted. “That may be, but clearly, this isn’t right,” Abe countered. “It’s a church. What makes you think it’s the wrong one?” Meg asked. Abe bit his lip, not wanting to state the obvious, but his sister had no problem with stating what he was thinking. “Your uncle doesn’t think Tracy would attend a colored church.” Abe was silent for several moments, but couldn’t keep his frustrations bottled up. “Seriously,...
