Incubus: Sealed Souls

-By FurryYunSeong/AitosSaibankan-

-Chapter One-

This is the translated prequel to Virgin Virus, which was originally in Spanish, my native language. Some ideas were still raw and it's been slightly adapted. The protagonist of Incubus was quite a lost one, and you'll find out how he meets the main crew. Hope this is enjoyable.


It's a lonely and boring afternoon. Just sitting there at the harbor watching the sea be clear and tranquil as it always means to be. I can feel it, my time to "Feed" comes closer. But I'm not like everyone else, I don't get anxious or excited because of it, I've never been like that. It is only certain that I'll die if I don't "Feed", and if that weren't the case, I wouldn't care at all.

My eyes focused on the glimmering reflection the water projected: the image of a half-man, half-bat and part-wolf being. With light brown fur, slender body, big pointy ears like a bat's, and a tanned blond mane over my head. Not to mention the big tail that constantly swings behind me, the black claws at the tips of my fingers and toes and my fangs. The humans always had known us as incubus, infamous for the way we sustentate ourselves. Victims of our hunts are drained and left weak, sometimes unable to bear children and in some rare cases they even pass away. To many, its hard to understand that this mechanic is not something we really enjoy, although it is enjoyable. Its only because of our nature that we do it, necessary for us to survive. Its something truly hard to explain and understand for those who refuse.

  • "Hey, Dose, wake up!" - I was mentally wandering, when a feminine voice, the voice of a succubus, crossed my ears.

I normally use my time on the docks to meditate, to forget everything.

  • "Hey, Dose!" - The succubus again speaks, screaming this time as she gets no response from me.

This time she makes me react, slowly forcing me back to reality. I see her seated beside me, looking at me with caring eyes.

  • "Lost in your thoughts again?" -

  • "Yep, I can't help myself." -

  • "You have to take it easy. If you keep at it, I fear of you killing yourself." -

  • "I adore your optimism." - Sarcasm tints my voice.

  • "Now that you mention it, it doesn't seem like a bad idea." - I said with slight honesty.

  • "Don't say that. Our life ain't half bad." - Her face quickly shows worry at my not-so-positive response.

  • "I'm sorry, I don't want to worry you. You understand me. Its just... you know that our kind of interest in love sentences us to an early and possibly sudden death." - I sigh.

  • "I know they're dangerous, thats quite clear; but as long as that is what you want, you have to follow it." -

  • "We can't try to hide it... were gay. You already have someone. But I cant find anybody that suits me." -

...

I do realize that my conversations with her are always of the same topic.

  • "I have to fight for our happiness." - She murmured, looking at the horizon and thinking of her mate.

  • "I still await the day that I'll be happy with another incubus." - Another sigh.

  • "I do so too, Dose." -

If two incubui have sex together, they can die after a short period of time. Repeated exposure dramatically increases this risk. Succubi are also bound by such rule. I find it hard to understand why it happens or how even. We die when we show another one of our gender our love. I still haven't heard anyone even try to explain such ghastly phenomenon. It is unjust and unfair. To risk life or death by a matter of love versus nature. We are truly cursed if such kind of mentality invades an imp. Once it surfaces, it becomes integral to you, and denying it, repressing it... that can equally fatal. Those of us that are afflicted for homosexuality are few, far and afraid. At least thats what I perceive. We are alone and sick with an unnatural mind. It troubles me deeply, but I am certain that nothing can be done except to wait. A lot of things boil down to the art of patience.

Surely one of the bigger reasons of why we are so few is because we vanish once we find an equally deviant mate. Love and sexuality compel like nothing else does, and then we are lead to perform a forbidden act. Is it worth the dance with death? Many don't think so. Heightened sexuality comes with greater blessings and greater curses, so you might find me ruing it from time to time. But again, it is part of who I am.

  • "You know, hon? You have to give depression a break. I've been with the real you and this is not it. You have to try and be happy with what you got, instead of sitting and weeping. Remember, you'll always have Sebastian, Aoi and me." - She hugs me tight.

I spend every noon with her talking about our shames and shambles.

A slight tear slides down my cheek. I let Yuri know with a smile that she effectively calmed me, and she does the same. She stands and lends me her stretched hand to help me up. Then we watched how the sun slowly let the moon take its place. I looked at my friend for a moment. I love her like a sister.

The wind suddenly picked up all around us.

To the point that we could barely keep on our two feet. Yuri and I tried to brace ourselves in whatever way we could, against the gusts that bashed us. It had me a little exasperated, looking around to find the source. Who or what could possibly be producing those winds?

Then my eyes find the silhouette of an incubus with large wings who slowly descends, closing to us. The wind calms down, allowing us to uncover. The source of that wind had a mischievous smile on his face.

  • "I love that face you guys make." -

  • "You shouldn't do that, you know. At least, not every time." -

Sebastian, using his big wings, blasts with gusts every time he pops up. He's part of a special kind of incubus, those of blue blood. He inherits the power to wield wind and the possession of a great set of wings. It's always nice to see him, and he has an admirable body to boot: An Incubus with grayish brown fur and clear gray hair, and he had a good amount of muscle.

We've been great friends, and he has a complicated situation of his own, being mated to a human girl whom he loves with all his heart. its nice to hear him speak of her, one can feel the passion and dedication he has for her.

  • "I always find you guys around here at these hours." -

  • "We like this area of the town." -

Seeing him reminds me of another undeniable fact, that other part that burdens blue bloods. They are tasked with the preservation of their lineage and heritage. For those families it is a crime to relate with those outside the bloodline. They must procreate once they reach a certain age, or risk being shunned; or worse. Its more important than their individual lives.

Sebastian doesn't really care, though. He recently renounced contact with his royal family, which wasn't without conflict. Sebs denies and abhors that which is imposed on him. Sebastian always stays with us and considers himself an orphan like us. We are a trio full of troubles, but we fight on.

  • "Yuri, Dose, lets get to our place at the lake." -

  • "I think thats a good idea." - says Yuri.

  • "Yeah, I agree." -

Once decided, we take flight northward, towards a lakehouse that we had made ours a few years ago, our shared lair. We arrived after a few minutes, since it was less than a kilometer in our direction from the dock. It was night already, and the water of the lake had its own version of the moon reflected upon its surface. Peering into the sky filled your vision with the shine of many stars, their glamor unblocked since their sky lacked clouds.

We then sat comfortably at the lakes shore, talking about the day making each other laugh and throwing rocks into the fresh calm water. We spent long minutes at it and I did enjoy it very much. It made me feel that the night was pleasantly special, and somehow it would become more so.

Enough time was spent for our "Hunger" to hurt. It's not a rumbling of the tummy but more like an itch in your loins, it builds up right there and causes your tool to get spontaneously erect. A mundane body reaction, but annoying as well. We had to get some "Food", something I wasn't particularly excited about.

Yuri and Sebastian went ahead, since they were starving. I could never catch up to them. Nonetheless, I used a portal near the lake to quickly get to the human world. A random reflective surface in our lair, what humans call a mirror.

That particular portal always opened on the roof of a huge skyscraper. I jump off the tall building in search of a victim. Never had I known the name of that place I frequented, just that I enjoyed looking upon it as I flew above, staring into the city lights. Now it was a matter of finding a woman and giving her misfortune by feeding off her, all in order to get rid of the fastidious hunger.

...

I cant help but get distracted as it is usual; I focused my attention on the noisy city under me, losing direction.

Then the strong flap of wings could be mildly heard at a distance, nothing I considered taking note of. Probably a big bird of prey.

The same flapping wings got closer and closer, forcing me to search around for whatever it was. I scanned my whole surrounding degrees, but there was nothing I could notice in the darkness. It only got closer...

  • "Watch out...!" -

The warning gets to my ears as I turn to see. That same instant we crash. Our whole bodies impact, resulting in a bump on the head and a sore shoulder.

I take a moment to stabilize in the air and rub my head. My eyes seek the other one, but all I then find is white. White perfection.

His wings were wonderfully white and covered with feathers instead of skin or membrane or fur. It was unlike anything I ever saw. I was almost sure they were angel wings, but owner was definitely a demon. One beautiful demon, an Adonis type with a well built body. Hazel eyes looked back at me, those seemed to have a glow of their own, and a gentle smile decorated his muzzle, with a hint of worry.

  • "Are you okay?" - He exclaimed in an exquisite baritone.

  • "I think I am now." - I mumble as he glides closer, eyes fixed on me.

  • "Actually, I'm fine, my shoulder's only a bit sore..." - I cleared up.

  • "My apologies, I was just in a hurry to get home." -

  • "That's alright, I have to going too." -

The angelic incubus had an ashamed but amused smile that never vanished from his face, and I felt like I had a goofy smile drawn on mine. We made the move to resume our different ways, which had a bit of hesitation from both sides. He didn't fly away until he told me his name, shouting from a distance:

  • "My name is Rafael! What's yours?" -

  • "Rafael... My name is Dose!" -

  • "It was a brief pleasure! Hope to see you soon!" -

Then he leaves, and it was full of grace. I just continued to look at him until he was too far to see. And just like that, I knew I was not going to be able to stop thinking about him. Maybe he was the one incubus I was looking for, as farfetched as the thought was...

It was an odd encounter, one that definitely sparked something somewhere. I would go "Eat", but I would not stop thinking of those angelic wings.

It invaded my mind, choosing to just discard the search and randomly enter an apartment dormitory and visit whoever was there. There she was, asleep and profoundly in blissful dreams. Into her room I enter as silently as I could, her window was fully open which presented me with no trouble. I lay over her and with a tug her covers are removed, leaving her fully naked. She wakes, and I get behind her, covering her mouth and holding her tightly in order to make her fear inaudible. I invaded her, but my mind only thought of that angel I came across. And thinking of pleasuring him, I made my visitation a swift one. In my mind, there was no woman.

But that was only in my mind. Once I was satisfied, I saw she was completely exhausted. I felt ashamed and remorseful. It always was like that. Then his angelic presence invaded my mind once again.

I managed to wander back into my world... after hours of just flying without direction deluding myself of that one demon.

...

When I arrived, they all seemed to be asleep in their rooms, so I headed to mine in order to sleep. I swiftly fell into dreams, which generally stared that demon. Rafael. What a lovely name. He truly seemed like a blue blood. Would our interests be the same? How will I see him again?

***

The next morning arrives. Aoi and Yuri entered my room, Aoi seated at one side of the bed and Yuri pouncing at me. I felt her, but I did not wake. Yuri kept looking at me while I resumed my light snoring. I heard them laugh, but I simply didn't want to wake up.

Then they started to scream and hop on the bed like a bunch of little girls... ugh.

  • "Well, well. I hadn't seen you this happy in forever." -

  • "Aoi? What do you mean?" -

They just giggle mindlessly at me. I just stood and headed to the bath, feeling rather unclean:

Then I saw what the were giggling at. It was erect, probably the result of my happy dreams of Rafael. Some shame came over me at the realization, but it quickly was replaced by a better idea. There I discharged all my thoughts and wishes of Rafael, under the warm shower...

Once satisfied, clean and dry, I found out that Yuri and Aoi went on another adventure. So I told Sebastian of last night and asked him to help me find Rafael. Sebs was a little skeptical, saying that he had heard of an angel-winged Incubus, but he had never seen one. We headed to the same portal we usually use, heading to the mortal world much earlier than usual. I was very sure I would find Rafael there.

...

It was unusual for our kind to visit the mortals during the day. Humans sighting is always been thought of as problematic. We searched carefully under the sun's warm rays and the blissful breeze that always decorated the mortal's day. The vibrancy of it all made it a worthwhile risk, sometimes. But still, searching was fruitless. Then our ears caught up on some screams. Sebastian decided to see, and I followed. The screams, the were of a man desperately calling for help. It sounded terrible, and soon the perpetrator of it all crashed out of wherever he was.

The huge demon shoots out in our direction. He stops before us with a defiant grin and a deviant look. This incubus was simply huge, with bulging muscles and vascularity.

  • "Gai, you fucking men again?" -

  • "Why do you think I'm so big?" -

  • "You hurt yourself that way and you give others problems." -

  • "Looks like you want to fight." -

  • "Don't make me laugh. Leave before it's too late." -

  • "Are you challenging me?!" -

Gai had a deep, terrifying voice. I quickly retreat, but those two just get closer.

  • "One of these days I'm going to hurt you real bad, blue-blood! You just watch! -

He turns and leaves. That demon was intimidating in the entire sense of the word. Sebastian glances at me and squeezes my shoulder.

  • "Don't worry , I won't allow anyone to touch you." -

His words calm me down, and I smile at him.

To Incubi, men are like drugs. When they penetrate a man, the absorb a great amount of energy, which also translates in extra body mass, and with that, there are some harsh consequences They may become more aggressive and even insane. And no one could explain how it happened. It just happened.

...

Some time had passed and the sun started its descent. Sebastian was tired and hungry, so he left me to my own devices to take care of that. But I couldn't return without seeing Rafael again....

I spent some time circling the area, thinking I wasn't going to find him. The hours pass and night falls.

The minutes become longer than usual, and eventually "Hunger" strikes. I took care of that hastedly, finding a woman in a dark alley and forcing misfortune upon her. I couldn't help but feel dirty...

The sky kept getting darker as time passed, so I wandered around the dock, looking at the ruined abandonment that was left of it.

...

  • "You look so lonely." -

I head a voice calling me, I turn to see who it was. After so much searching, the angle was once again with me. I quickly stand and pounce at him with a hug. It was so hard to contain my happiness

  • Rafael! -

Rafael looks at me and laughs heartily. He returns the hug and tightens.

  • "I've always wanted to meet someone like you. I hope you don't mind the hug." -

  • "On the contrary, I love it. I've never felt such honesty in a hug. Let's sit, I want to know you better." -

I felt so happy, it was like we knew each other since forever. We sat on the same place Yuri and I shared almost every day.

  • "Tell me. I can tell you live in solitude." -

  • "It's really noticeable? " -

  • "Yes. What's your story?" -

  • "Well... I lived 12 of my 21 years with my parents; who died from an unknown reason. Since then I've been living questioning my existence and everything I do. I spend a lot of time thinking." -

  • "You're an enigma." -

  • "Heh, I think so. Now it's your turn." -

  • "Sadly, I'm a blue-blood. That alone is great pressure..." -

  • "I can only imagine. But, would you leave those beautiful wings for another life." -

  • "Believe me, the pressure the exert is too great. And when I saw you I thought you were..." -

  • "Gay? I thought we had that in common right away." -

  • "My wings are too beautiful. I've had a lot of demons after me, but none of them offered something true." -

  • "When I saw you that day, I thought that if I held you, I wouldn't let you go." -

  • "I won't let you go either." -

Seated very closely we gave each other another hug. Our eyes met, and that led to an inevitable kiss. One I strongly wished to be eternal. Minutes pass and I stopped feeling his touch; Rafael slowly leaned away with a worried look. I quickly got the message.

  • "Wait... let's take it slow. You know how that can..." -

  • "What's there to it if we already risked..." -

  • "If you want to be with me, we'll need to wait." -

With serious eyes and voice, he had me convinced We had cast a sentence upon ourselves.

  • "Would you believe me if I said that I hadn't touched a woman in over 10 years? -

  • "No?! Really? How? -

  • "Right now I don't have time to explain. Let's return to our world and I'll explain it to you tomorrow Same time and location." -

  • "Alright." -

That one took me by surprise. He hadn't touched a female and he remained alive; I couldn't imagine exactly what he did to be alive. Filled with a new hope, we returned to our world. The portal we had used was close, and in minutes we found ourselves in the sky of our world. We looked at each other again. I couldn't stop smiling.

  • "I anxiously await for tomorrow" -

  • "Me too. -

With those last words he says goodbye and leaves. I felt so happy to have met him, to have talked to him and touched him. All my trust was with him.

A thought streaks across my mind like a shooting star:

  • "Sometimes I think I'd be better off being a human." -
