A treasure hunter of not so famous origins visits his latest venture during a storm when no one will bother him. Royal crypts hold treasure for those who are brave enough to venture within them and even more for those who are willing to handle the traps within. Of course, how could the fox expect one of the traps to be a bored demon bound by old blood to protect the place?


A lone hooded figure against a bleak night traveled beneath grey clouds obscuring the stars and moon. They held a lantern hanging off of a crook that shone with a bright orange glow that illuminated the muddy road ahead of them. Their steps rang hollow in the night as the sound of raindrops crashing on the ground muffled any noise that attempted to rise above the roaring storm. The winds defied the storm, whistling and whipping about with such strength that it nearly toppled the traveling figure over but still they persisted as they walked and walked through the storm on their way toward a den of graves. The graveyard sat unattended with various stones and offerings jutting out of the grounds to remember those who had passed and had been buried here among the dirt and grime. Normally, a tender of the graves would walk among the dead to ensure that none would disturb the slumber of spirits long past, except, the night was too dire for anyone to care about the livelihood of those without lives. Instead, the only person that tended the graves was that hooded figure pushing against the wind. They cut through the wind with the help of the crook digging into the ground with every step to steady them against the storm. Eventually, they arrived at a towering stone structure with gates torn open. The mausoleum was illuminated by the glow of the lantern revealing the family name of the royalty in this region carved just above the archway. With careful steps, the figure moved through the threshold and ignored the grated doors that closed behind them as they began their descent into the royal crypt. Each step taken down into the crypt reduced the sound of the beating rain until it sounded like a gentle thudding in the distance while the whipping winds turned into gentle hums. Eventually, neither could be heard and the figure stopped at a new door. They set the crook aside and with a grunt, pushed the stone doors open. When the stone slabs parted for them, lights from torches and braziers within began to flicker on to life along with a chill wind that came from the open doorway as if the crypt itself had exhaled. The figure shuddered but only did so to shake off the water on their cloak before they decided to simply take it off. Beneath the hood and cloak, a white-furred fox stood there with sharp lavender eyes. He wore a vest and pants with a knife hanging off of a belt along with a few odd pouches here and there. When he took hold of the crook again, he sighed and looked out toward the black abyss above where the storms were still raging. Hopefully, that risk would come with some reward for an intrepid treasure hunter such as himself.

With crook in paw, the fox began to walk down the entrance hall of the crypt. Even at the entrance, there were hollows cut into the sides that held the preserved remains of lesser members of the royal family. Perhaps servants, perhaps distant cousins and children that had no real role or importance except carrying the blood that allowed them to even be entombed in such a place. Nuxi could see the glint of various pieces of jewelry being illuminated in those hollows by the light of his lantern and the various torches burning brightly nearby but there were better treats deeper within. Folk who had too much money to care about living often stored their riches with them because of some sort of conceited view of wealth somehow transferring over into the afterlife. Tombs like this held little snippets of treasure that could be taken and sold for a good meal for maybe a day or two, and deeper within they stored baubles and prizes that could feed a single person for much longer than that. How did he know? Well, Nuxi himself was proud to be a treasure hunter. Whether or not the treasure belonged to the dead and whether or not the treasure was up for grabs in the first place was another story entirely.

As they stepped deeper into the crypt, the fox found himself faced with a few ways to go, other halls that stretched out further than he could see and door at his front. Doors were always meant to be opened so forward he went to take hold of the dusty handle and tug it back. The door creaked loud enough to make his ears cringe back and his eyes wince and it hit the wall with a dull crack. He supposed whoever was entombed behind the door hadn't been visited in a long time meaning a spark of opportunity. The less visited a place, the more likely that he would find himself with some sort of grand prize. With a grin, the fox headed through the doorway and deeper into the crypt

There were boned scattered on the ground that crunched beneath his step. They didn't bother him because as an experienced treasure hunter he understood that props and traps were often set in these crypts were valuables were stored in order to deter superstitious thieves. Of course, they could never fool him because he never believed in the powers that be anyway. Gods and goddesses were not to be feared and spirits were only trouble if they were actually around to exist. A few bones didn't mean much compared to braving a storm, so on the fox went with a little hum even to disrespect yet another superstition.

A few steps into the new hall and he turned his head as he heard the door slam shut. Nuxi paused for just a moment before he shrugged and turned his attention back to walking. The torches that had been burning brightly suddenly snuffed out one by one. His lantern remained the only light in a sudden sea of darkness that surrounded him. Brow raised, the fox continued walking except, perhaps just a bit slower. There were such things as traps made for common thieves and treasure hunters such as himself but with a wary mind and eye, he could easily avoid anything that came out at him. He kept his steps careful, his body poised to move at any moment as he headed down the hall. Eventually, it opened up to a chamber with a single stone coffin at the center, wooden chests and crates surrounding the coffin which brought a greedy gleam to his eyes. Nuxi whistled as he stepped around the coffin, one paw coming out to feel over one of the larger chests for any hinges or buttons that might be waiting for him.

A cool breeze shifted up his spine and through his clothes in such a violent and sudden manner that he turned with wide eyes, lantern pointed toward the dark. There wasn't anything there, except a glowing gem on the wall. With tilted head, he moved to investigate, hand coming out to touch the gem. At his touch, the red gem split and sunk into the wall before the wall itself fell to reveal a passage. Again a cold breeze touched his spine and he turned his head to see bright red lights hanging in the darkness along with a growing grin full of pearly fangs that looked well kept. Instead of complimenting the dental work of whatever was in the dark, he allowed his base instinct to take hold and he headed down the hidden passage where a spiral staircase awaited.

Fangs in the dark and bright red eyes. Those were usual signs that he was hallucinating or some sort of creature had been placed within a tomb in order to capture and consume intrepid treasure hunters like himself. His movements down the steps were quick but not so quick that he would fall. Nuxi continued at this pace until he reached the bottom with a huff. He kept on walking and walking until he realized that he was in another chamber. With the crook and lantern lifted, the light spread over the room where he could see that there were piles of bones here and there among cushions that had been laid along the ground. At the center sat a pedestal with a canine idol made of stone with bright eyes made of some sort of gemstone. Those strange eyes beckoned him forward in a strange manner that urged his body to move without him even realizing it. He continued to walk and walk until he shook himself out of it. By the time he could actually control his body, he was standing face to face with the strange idol. When he started to back away, the sound of shuddering laughter could be heard coiling through his mind. That laughter caused a fog to seep into his head, his grip loosening on his crook until it fell and the lantern shattered, the flame dying out leaving him in the dark.

"A thief come to take all the treasure and gold from the royal family slumbering here hm?" Said a voice coming from all directions.

Nuxi turned his head and tried to peer into the dark but could do nothing but answer with a meek voice, "I'd prefer to think of myself as a hunter of treasure. I could always hunt treasure elsewhere you know? Really just walk on out of here without harm to this place or me."

"That's true and it would be better for me too but really, if you want your life I'd like to make a simple deal." Said the voice.

The treasure hunter sighed with a mixture of relief and vague apprehension as he answered, "A deal? That's it? Well, so long as the deal isn't for my life I'd be happy to work something out. I'd be even happy to indebt myself to you, whatever you are."

One by one, the torches in the room began to burn to life. The bones in the room had turned to glittering coins and gems, the cushions that had seemed so frayed and old were now bright red and velvet and at the small canine idol was a figure emerging from the stone itself. Red eyes hidden behind a mask seated perfectly on the face of a black furred wolf with a long mane. It continued to pour out of the statue until he could see that the spirit or demon had large breasts that sagged down just a bit ending in darkened nipples. As that hunched over shadowy form filled out in a rather rounded manner, a large furry tail curled around her waist. The demon then stepped forward to lean down and smile.

"Hello there, my name is Eliya." She said without an ounce of malice or intimidation behind the voice.

Nuxi blinked and raised a paw slowly to give a tiny wave as he responded to this maddening situation, "Uh...Hello there I guess. My name is Nuxi. Are you...Going to rip my soul out or kill me in some way shape or form?"

The creature laughed and planted a hand on her chest, "Me? No! Perhaps a few centuries or so ago I would have done that but right now, right now I'm far too bored to do that. You see, I guard these tombs and do so because I accepted a deal to be brought to this world in exchange for protection. Unfortunately, that meant protecting this tomb rather than protecting some person and traveling with them. I accepted my fate figuring I could have fun tearing little thieves apart and for a while, that was pretty fun but it got boring fairly quickly. I'm patient, you see, but even now I realize that the one who summoned me is gone and I have free reign to do whatever I want! Except...Go outside."

Nuxi shook his head and sighed, "My...The wealthy are just like that, aren't they? Taking advantage of someone's hard work ethic and never stopping to give them a proper reward."

"Yes!" Eliya said with sudden wide eyes, her large hands gripping his own to squeeze as she leaned in and nodded, "You understand, don't you? That sort of thing is horrible! Never did I think my contract would include staying in here for literal eternity! I'm bound to that little statue and nothing I do allows me to leave but if someone were to steal that little thing then I would absolutely be free to wander where I desire...But I'm getting ahead of myself. Before we leave, I hunger for something else. A sample of life before I taste the true experience outside of these stone walls."

Nuxi cleared his throat, "Although I sympathize with your plight, I uh, don't think you should kill me for fun."

The demon snorted, "No no, I don't want to kill you. I want to experience life. I want a taste of your energy and that can be done through so many means. Through touch and kiss, for instance. It is a lonely life here and you already seem like an interesting fellow. What say you trade your body for a bit of treasure and power?"

An opportunity like this didn't come often. Normally, the traps and mechanisms meant to kill thieves simply actually tried to kill him rather than bargain. That, and they normally weren't so busty or curvy. With such an offer, how could he say no? Clearing his throat, Nuxi responded to her bargain, "I mean, you bring up a fair deal. Fuck and treasure? All of that sounds great but uh, what do you mean by power."

Both of her hands came down to his arms where they squeezed gingerly before she leaned in close enough that their noses were touching, "I mean magic and with that, anything that you should desire. My knowledge can teach you many things about how to use that magic and I would be glad to give you that too."

Nuxi felt a trembling spike traveling down his spine as he muttered his reply, "Ah...Then I gladly accept. Nothing seems wrong about all that except, maybe, what do you mean trade my body? That just means sex right? Nothing else?"

Firm digits cupped his chin while the masked wolf leaned down to plant her nose against his, "I would have hoped that you'd ignore that. Well, to be honest, I wanted to possess your body and soul but I guess that's a bit much isn't it? Tell you what...How about I just inhabit your body temporarily. You have control, I come with. You can choose to find me a body or you can choose to just keep me around as company."

The fox's eyes were glued to the breasts hanging below. Part of him was very keen on fucking a demon but another part of him was very nervous about the possibility that a demon would take over his mind. Tipping everything in favor of accepting the bargain was the fact that there was some sort of monetary gain to be had in this. Treasure meant that he could probably stand to eat well for a bit and maybe even settle down depending on how that whole power thing worked out and that power meant that he could find himself with even more gold than that! Plus, a little company on the road might be interesting.

Before the demon could say any more, he brought up a paw to clutch one of her full breasts, digits coiling around the nipple to tug as he beamed, "Huh, money and sex in exchange for me taking you into my body? Sounds real good to me! So long as you don't take control of me or anything but um, I have to ask, will we still be able to keep each other company on the road? I mean, you've got a body right here."

Eliya purred at his touch but her grip at his chin grew just a bit firmer, "I have a body, yes, but I need a connection to this plane. Right now, that's that stupid idol over there. I'll be needing you to break it to break the curse and set me free."

"Okay." Said Nuxi and without hesitation, he stepped around the demon and took hold of the idol in both paws.

The demon blinked and faded into shadows before crawling along the ground and appearing next to him, "Excuse me? You know...We could fuck before you do that. If you break it, then you'd be risking your life there as I'd be free to do whatever I want and by your word, I'd be bound to you."

Nuxi tested the weight of the idol in his hold, tongue pursed as he wondered how hard to chuck the thing before he looked up at the wolf with a smile, "Yup! I mean, listen, I've been put in jail before for about, maybe a week. Eternity? That would thrash my head something crazy. I'd hate whoever it was put me in here and more than that, probably be thirsty for some company, anyone at all. I figure that if you take over my body then well, at least you'll probably put it to good use and uhh, you're a demon. Right now, you could tear me limb from limb if you wanted to or you could probably force your presence into me, do some weird hypnosis shit or whatever but you're not and I figure I gotta repay that at least right?"

Eliya crossed her arms and reclined in the air as if she were sitting on a seat with one leg crossed on the other, "What a strange fox."

The treasure hunter grinned, "Yup! Heard that before but I gotta wonder one thing..."

"What?" Said the demon while leaning in.

Nuxi answered with a chuckle, "How do I find a body good enough for you? Big fangs, big hands, big butt, and breasts. Plenty of muscle too. If I found you a mortal body you'd probably complain it was terrible! So...Is it fine if I just ask if there is a way to bring you to this world fully without the need of an anchor?"

Eliya starred at him for a good second or two before she laughed, "Yes! Yes, there is you charming idiot. It is dangerous and requires some forbidden magic but I never thought I'd meet anyone willing to take on that kind of deal nor did I think I'd meet someone who could make me laugh! Then again, maybe my sense of humor is just terrible after being so long in the dark...So if you want to break that idol before we begin, go ahead and unshackle me sweetie so I can repay you."

The treasure hunter could have heeded the warning of the demon and the warning of his own instincts telling him that it was too good to be true but that would be rather cynical, to say the least. With a firm chuck, he shattered the idol on the floor and from it came a bright red light that flashed for a few seconds before leaving entirely. When he looked up, the demon was watching with big eyes and an even bigger grin. One hand came down to grab a fist full of broken stone and gem before bringing it up and turning into powder.

Eliya then purred her words as she tossed the dust to the side, "I'm not going to lie. I was planning on sussing some entertainment out of you, tricking you, then taking your body for a ride before finding a better one but...You're a thief with a better heart than any royalty I've ever had the displeasure of serving so let's see how long this lasts. I'll do everything I said I was gonna do and then some just for your benefit and just because I think I like you but you gotta promise me one thing and one thing alone."

Nuxi cleared his throat, "And what might that be?"

"If we ever meet anyone under this royal name, you gotta promise me I can take your body for a second to punch them in the fat chin!"

A near bubbling laughter poured from his mouth as he extended his paw to her, "What a deal with the devil! Sure! Whatever! That sounds fun! Anything goes so long as I find a good bit of treasure and food."

Suddenly, firm digits coiled around his chin to tug him up and toward the demon. Her smile was still there and her eyes sharp slits that watched him with a certain fire. Her words came out with a heated breath that traveled down his body, "You'll get all the treasure you want sweetie with the power I can give you...And more than that, I'll make sure you feel good too."

An answer was at the tip of his tongue. Something witty and maybe something that would have earned a laugh but the answer was pushed aside as her maw was planted around his to let her tongue push deep into his mouth. The kisses surprised him almost as much as the odd heat that began surrounding his mind. That heat shifted and coiled around his head until it became a fog that fell and weighed him down in the most pleasant of ways. It almost felt as if each moment their breath was shared that strange fog would grow. At this point, he could feel his bulge pushing against his pants while one of her hands came down to brush along his body. He could feel the desire burning in him hotter than when he had first seen her supple body. When she pulled her mouth away it was with a loud gasp accompanied by a wet smack. Trails of spittle connected their tongues hanging out as he struggled to get a grip on what was happening. Her mouth was brought over his yet again, and again he felt that lovely fog come in along with her thick tongue pushing against his own. This time, he brought both of his paws up to grab her cheeks, digits pushing through the fur as he dipped into the kiss despite the fact that his body was feeling less and less balanced. His legs were shaking and his mind was growing hazier but he knew that he had a desire that needed to be fulfilled and what she provided was a practical ambrosia. When she tugged away she did so without using her strength and so he kept her rooted firmly where she was to let his tongue drag against hers. A muffled chuckled rolled from Eliya's mouth to Nuxi's and the fox continued to drink in everything she had to offer until his ears were dragged back and he could hardly breathe.

When they finally parted, Nuxi nearly fell over, eyes glazed and body trembling as he muttered, "Never had a kiss like that."

Eliya purred, "Sorry dear. I had to taste the flavor of your life just a bit. You'll make a good vessel and a good companion. With a little work, we can even make you work magic better than any natural born mage. Now...Are you ready for more?"

The fox nodded and with one single passing of her claws she tore his clothes off. He gasped and fell back onto his rear with a yelp, his cock exposed to the cool air while his mind still bathed in warmth. He was at least cognizant enough to grumble, "I hope you can magic me up some new clothes."

While he was going to complain some more and complain with the right of every person who had ever had to spend hard earned money on clothes, he stopped as he saw something unimaginably beautiful hanging over his face. Eliya's fat rear hovered a few inches from his face. Maybe a sane mortal would question why their mind was being turned to mush from just a kiss but they had fully thrown themselves into this situation expecting some sort of demonic trickery while at the same time trusting that very demon to not do too much. Well, at least he'd die happy if she did anything funny.

Both of his paws came up to take hold of those plump cheeks, digits squeezing and kneading them. Nuxi heard a purr coming from the demon's maw encouraging him to spread that lovely rear and plant his mouth against the reveal puckered hole. Almost as soon as he did this, the weight of her fat rump came down to push him to the ground where he was smothered by ass and a fluffy tail curling around his head. Honestly, not a terrible way to go. The weight of the rump on his face shifted, moving left to right to rub that tight ring on his face. His tongue came out to greet her hole, pushing and sliding against it to get it nice and wet while the cock between his legs twitched and bounced in reaction. He was certain that there was no magic being used on him right now but his mind still felt foggy from the kiss and each and every little movement of his lips and tongue along that ring caused a cold spot to appear at a random place on his body.

His grip on her rear tightened as his tongue dipped inside of her rump to wet those tight inner walls with warm spittle. When she tried to pull away, he was sure to keep her rear there for just a few more lick and kisses before he finally loosened his hold. Nuxi sucked in a breath as her rear was removed from his face and then huffed all that he had breathed in as she sat on his lap. His gaze peered up at her breasts before trailing down to see that his cock was nestled between her thighs and resting against her gut. One large hand came down to grip it tightly, digits squeezing around his canine shaft causing him to shudder and groan while the wolf cackled. The red light behind her mask seemed to glow more intensely as she leaned in to take his mouth with her own again.

This time, the kiss they shared came without the added fog invading his mind. Instead, he could only feel the warmth of her tongue sliding against his as the shadows of her body seemed to coil and curl around his own. He could feel the touch of her shadows, like small vines crawling over his body. Each touch of those strange tendrils felt nice rather than unwanted, loving and ginger as they caressed and held him in place while the hand between his legs tugged and stroked his cock against demon's soft gut. Her firm hold on his cock seemed to soften as she moved her hips to tease the fact that his shaft was so close to those warm folds. Nux thought about pulling away from the kiss, thought about grabbing her waist and lifting to get himself inside, but instead, he kept his mouth planted firmly against hers and sucked in all of the pleasure from that.

When their mouths parted, his cock was twitch with every pass of her hand along his shaft. The tip was leaking pre and his heart was racing, the shadows coiling around his body tightening as if to remind him to keep still and allow their mistress to work her magic. Those gleaming crimson eye stared down into his own and her words came just as she stopped stroking, "About to pop little mortal? Here I thought you could last longer...But that's okay. You're supposed to love every second of this game."

Nuxi grunted and pushed his hips up to thrust to her hand, "Of course I'm about to blow. How could I not? Fuck...A demon? More like a goddess."

The demon chuckled and her grip softened again while she planted a soft peck on his nose, "If you're really willing to worship me, then I suppose a reward is necessary."

Those large hips rose as the digits around his cock began to pull away one by one. The air was cool against his shaft now that the warmth of her touch was so far away but that cold did not last long as she lowered herself to allow the tip of his member to slide against those warm folds. One of those shadowy tendrils moved to push and coil around the fox's cock to push it gingerly in place before the wolf slowly began to lower herself. The tip of his shaft parted her pussy easily enough and pushed inside bit by bit as she continued to go down and down. Both of her hands rested on his shoulders, digits gripping as she purred and as his moans began. The warmth of her insides swallowed him entirely creating a heat that went from the tip of his cock all the way back up to his chest. When he tried to move to grab onto something, anything at all, he found that the tendrils were holding too tightly as if he really would pull away. Why would he do that?

Against the force of the shadows pulling him down, he raised his paws and at least managed to take hold of her fat chest, digits squeezing around the nipples to tug while the wolf groaned aloud and dropped her hips all the way. Every inch of his cock went inside of that inviting hole, even the bulbous knot that had begun to grow from all the arousal building inside of him. The pressure grinding at his gut told him that it was time to let loose but something made him want to hold back. Both of his paws tightened their grip on her breasts, his eyes clenching shut as he began to thrust up inside of her. The demon purred out a moan and began dragging her hips up and down on his lap, bouncing as his knot slipped out and popped back in with every single movement. He could feel the tip of his cock burning in that tight hole, twitching wildly at the furthest point while he tried to maintain some sort of control on his body. Thrust after thrust whittled away at his limit until finally, he could handle no more. Hot cum poured from the tip of his shaft, thick ropes lining and staining the inner walls of the demon's cunt while his digits continued to tighten around those lovely breasts. The demon herself let her tongue hang loose as she gasped and laughed, moaning while the cum filled her to the core. Nuxi's own hips were moving with a certain desperation to get himself off while his fangs gnashed together.

It felt like his orgasm wouldn't stop for some reason and his body continued to push despite the fact that he was at his limit. When his climax finally petered out, the demon slowed the movement of her hips just enough to tease the sensitive flesh of his shaft while her mouth came down to capture his again. Together, they kept on moving, his cock still twitching and hard despite the fact that he could feel the warmth of his own cum surrounding his shaft inside of that inviting cunt. The demon's movements sped up again, her insides tightening as that large body began to tremble on his. Both of her hands moved off of his shoulders and around his body to tug him up into a tight embrace while their tongues danced and their spit was swapped. His mind grew foggy again as if she were taking a drink from his life but he did not fight it and instead moved his hips in spite of the sudden weakness he felt. The world around him seemed to shift and turn different colors in varying degrees of bright and not so much. She could be controlling him at this point, hypnotizing and changing him from the inside out, but he did not care. He rolled and rocked his hips to her with the same sort of hunger she displayed in the movement of her body atop his. Nuxi wasn't sure if she could get pregnant or not but his mind whispered for him to dig deeper to push further and knock her up with his seed. Again he could feel the pressure of his body growing in his gut, the fog in his mind thickening with every passing second while the demon atop of him slammed her hips down and down again.

With one last push of her hips down on his lap, he suddenly felt a gush of pleasure around his cock along with a tightening of those lovely inner walls. His toes curled as he heard her muffled moan push into his mouth, robbing him of breath and energy together as his cock finally let loose another load again inside of the demon. Whether or not she would get pregnant, he felt damn satisfied.

Lips parted to allow them both to breathe and the demon took hold of his cheeks to look him in the eyes as she muttered, "Good work. Now...Shall we get going?"

Nuxi slurred his words, "Already? I'm feeling a bit weak right now after all that."

The demon simply laughed as the shadows of her body began to coil around him further and further as if he were being consumed whole by her presence. Well, the end had to come sometime, or so he thought. The shadows embraced him lovingly and he swore he felt her lips against his own again in that blackened abyss. Finally, the shadows disappeared and he looked around to see that Eliya's weight had disappeared along with her body. Rubbing the back of his head, he got up to realize that he was still alive and somehow, clothed. Vest and trousers, belt and all. When he patted himself down, he could feel no sweat beneath his clothes or stain from the session that he had sworn had just happened. The only proof of what had happened was a shattered and powdered idol that laid somewhere nearby.

"In your head sweetie." Said a sudden voice.

Nuxi looked around and suddenly saw the shadows come alive again with red eyes and a mask, "Oh uh, well. I'm glad that it wasn't a dream and glad that you didn't kill me."

"Never would dream of it anymore. Now. Get yourself some treasure and let's get out of here. I'm excited to see how the world has changed."

The fox sighed as he started collecting a few coins and gems into various pouches on his belt, "What has changed huh? Probably not much. People are still people."

The demon in his mind laughed, "Good! That means we'll be able to mess with said people and get some sort of entertainment."

Nuxi thought about that for a moment before shaking his head, "Well, so long as we don't bother people who are already suffering, I don't think I mind too much."

Eliya snorted, "Of course! What point is there in mischief if it isn't tearing down those who think they have power."

The fox grinned as he took hold of one last red gem and held it up to the torchlight wondering if he should keep it simply because it reminded him of the demon within his mind, "I like the way you think."

With the crypt robbed and his mind now occupied by two rather than one, the fox moved headed out with the knowledge that things were going to be more interesting from now on and hopefully a bit easier when it came to the treasure hunting. Well, that wasn't certain but it was certain that he was going to have a good companion.
