Together in Exile Story by Raziel

Shendu snarled in rage, his eyes flaring a bright red. His banishment to the netherworld was a final slap in the face by those mortals. The fact that it was his own son who dragged him down in the end was only insult to injury. The fact that the little weakling was also imprisoned along with him was the only point of light in the whole situation. A faint whimpering came out of the darkness, something yelped when Shendu turned towards it with a growl. Chains rattled and a pitiful whine emerged from the shadows. "Silence! I will be back for you later, once you regain some strength. I would not want to get carried away and end your suffering temporarily." He turned away and slammed the steel door. A prison inside a prison; it seemed oddly fitting for a traitor. Shendu emerged into the orange void that would be his world for eternity. Faint clouds trailed the sky and the small floating islands were everywhere. He flew over to a smaller, useless one that nonetheless offered a particularly nice view back down. He took a deep breath and observed his new palace; it was still very much under construction, but it allowed him a measure of pride to make his lot more bearable. The dungeons were a nice touch even if they only had one inhabitant as of now. There were bound to be more. Shendu's throat resonated with the deep growl as the frustration set in once again; the crushing knowledge that he would be stuck here for eternity with no way out. He would give much to have a chance to strike back at the mortals who locked him here, to have them locked in chains and experience untold horrors for the rest of their lives. Or even better, forever with the use of a little magic. He sighed, letting his memories of a millennium ago surface, when he ruled over China with an iron fist. Everyone shuddered at the mere mention of his name, offering him everything they had and more. He revelled in the smell of their fear and laughed at their pathetic cringing whenever he roared. Whenever he required something, or just for his own amusement, he made them promises of a better life or perks as one of his servants, only to crush their hopes in front of them. He'd been so close to rule again, to take his rightful place. That his pitiful wretch of a son had tried to usurp that place was the final insult he was now paying dearly for.

Shendu's eyes narrowed when he sensed a presence draw closer. Few of the beings here were powerful enough to truly register here, which left only a short list. He took a deep breath before the deep rumble of his voice thundered into the dry netherworld air. "Ah, one of you. Tell me, what is it that you seek? Have a laugh at my expense for being banished like all of you. Or perhaps you seek to vent your rage about the 900 years I was able to spend on earth without doing anything to free all of you?" The hissing, raspy voice was instantly recognisable. "I certainly could, in fact I think it would be quite justified for me to do so." Shendu turned around, facing the slender form closing in. "But then again, what is the use of that? We are all in the same boat, as the mortals would say." "Bai Tsa, surprised you are the first one to approach me. I would have expected Tchang Zu to come see me first. If not him, Tso Lan." "Tchang has always been more noise than anything else, and Tso Lan seems to prefer to isolate himself." Shendu grumbled, but found a faint smile; apparently he wasn't the only one who didn't have much regard for Tchang as an adversary, and Tso always seemed content scheming. "I suppose he was. What brings you here, Bai?" "Seeking conversation. All of us are stuck here; it seemed prudent to be able to live with each other." Shendu laughed, his voice bouncing off the walls of his budding palace. "Why now? Do not try to manipulate me, Bai. I am much better at that than you will ever be." She shook her head, the tentacles crowning her head waving slightly. "I'm not trying to, Shendu." He waved her off. "Be gone, I don't feel like talking, especially not with the likes of you." She nodded. "So you prefer to keep wallowing in self-pity, then? Perhaps you're more like Tchang than you want to admit." Shendu growled. "Do not dare compare me to that wretch." "Why not? You lost as much as we have. I also lost Atlantis, I lost my chance to rebuild it later thanks to those mortals, and was then locked back here." The tail making up her lower body whipped around angrily and her red eyes seemed to glow. "Even worse; I face banishment in this bone-dry place." "Same as..." "NOT the same as you, Shendu! I thrive in water, I live to swim and feel it flow around me. You are used to being a land-dweller so at least you have that. I have lost everything. Do you understand?" Shendu couldn't speak for a moment, wavering between surging rage and a sudden welter of sympathy. His eyes flared, his claws clenched, his chest heaved as he drew in breath. And then he closed his eyes. "I am sorry, that is true. I...don't know what to say." Bai Tsa sighed, letting a faint, slightly forced smile flow across her features. "That was a good start."

Bai Tsa turned around. "You've been busy, it seems you retained some of your powers." Shendu nodded, followed by his massive shoulders rising and falling. "Rage can be a potent energiser." "It can use some water, though." Shendu cracked a grin as he eyed her. "I suppose. Do you happen to know anyone who could help with that?" For a moment Bai seemed so forlorn that Shendu pitied her. Not in a disdainful manner, but genuine pity. "If I could, don't you think I would have already." "Perhaps we can work on it." "And then what? Turn this prison into something more pleasant like in human 'movies'?" Shendu growled and smiled, his teeth showing. "Why not try? We have an eternity to figure it out." Bai turned around when she sensed something, tentacles suddenly spreading out and ready to lash, and saw a huge, scaled, strong claw resting on her shoulder. "What's going on, Shendu?" He shrugged, honestly not sure himself. "I do not know, but you do have a point. We will have to spend eternity here, and mortals tend to say that 'misery loves company'. We might as well put that to the test." Bai Tsa turned to face him, and looked in his red eyes. Initially she felt shocked by what she saw there; the curls of his eyebrows open and genuinely welcoming. She sighed, her tentacles drooping down along her shoulders again. "How do I know this isn't just a power-play? I know you, we all do." "You came to me, Bai. And frankly, what do you have to lose?" They stood there, gazing at each other, and then she buried her face in his muscular chest. Shendu froze as an unfamiliar feeling spread in his being. "Nothing, just like you." His muscular arms gently embraced her, just as he felt her slender arms wrap around him. She felt cold, like the oceans she called her home, the oceans that were now permanently lost to her. He felt another question well up in his mind. "Did you talk to the others about this?" She shook her head without looking up. "No, I don't think they would care." "And I would?" She shrugged. "I don't know. I guess I disliked you least of all, despite leaving us here when you were on earth." Shendu smiled. "Sometimes that is enough, I suppose. Care to come inside?" Bai looked up and Shendu realised how pretty she was to him; how her features seemed oddly soft for a demon sorceress. The gentle smile did a lot to break the mask of hideousness, and the soft slithering of her tentacles also served to complement this, instead of adding to horror.

They entered the palace in silence, Bai silently slithering along as Shendu walked ponderously, claws clicking on the stones he had wrought from other floating islands himself. "I have to admit you have taste. It's a bit big and ostentatious for me though." Shendu grunted, but heard the playfulness in her tone. "This coming from the ruler of Atlantis who tried to flood the San Francisco subway?" She extended her tongue in response. "That was lack of options; I needed a palace and Paris was out of reach at the time." They both laughed, her lither tones overpowered by Shendu's thunderous bellow. Shendu walked to his obsidian throne and sat down. Bai took a place next to him, sitting on the armrest. His eyes traced her slender, snakelike body and noticed that she was well-formed; having pronounced hips where they would be if she had legs. "I'm serious though, why the throne?" "Makes me think of better days. Days in which I was worshipped by the fearful masses," Shendu sighed heavily. "Those days are over now, nothing to rule over here...and yet it feels nice to just sit here, close my eyes and imagine." Shendu did so as he spoke, his imagination filling in the blanks from perfect memory. He could hear them all breathing as one, shivering. The heavy footfall of peasants bearing gifts that weight more than their own person. The lamentations of daughters and virgins presented to him as brides. Bai Tsu's soft voice broke through the reverie. "Then this must be lonely for you." Shendu nodded. "I suppose. I try not to think about it." "You don't have to be alone, you know?" He looked at her, finding her eyes level with his now that they were sitting down. By itself, his hand moved to close around hers. "I suppose that is true."

Neither fully realised what happened to them next, instead they let themselves be carried away and lose themselves in the new feeling that engulfed them. Bai could feel the heat of fire course through Shendu's body; the amazing power of a dragon caught in physical form. Deep in his chest, his heart was beating faster and she was sure hers was too. Despite the chill of lightless depths being part of her being, she felt like she could warm herself with him. Shendu surrounded her completely, his massive, muscular form easily embracing her own lithe, sinusoid figure. She shuddered at the feeling of his razor-sharp claws running over her back so gently that they did not even leave scratches on her silvery scales. Shendu felt her kisses on his muzzle like pinpricks of ice trailing their way up, until the last peck settled between his eyes. He opened them and gazed into her eyes; their red glow warm instead of the furious glare that was standard for Demon Sorcerers. He felt her tentacles rub along his cheeks, exploring, carefully curling around the spikes and crowns that provided him with his intimidating features. Her tail wrapped around his leg, clenching tightly as if afraid that she'd be torn away by a violent current. Her breath on his lips felt like a cool, midwinter breeze. It made him shiver again. Then she leaned back, bringing her claws to her shoulders. Shendu heard her whisper an incantation before and her blue-white colouration seemed to dissolve off her, revealing the fine scales and curves beneath. Moments later, Shendu's loincloth fluttered to the floor.

Shendu was already fully erect, throbbing and waiting. His foreskin had already rolled back slightly, revealing a small peak of the red tip. It was a match for his large, muscular body and a strange sense of curiosity moved Bai to gently close her fingers around it and sliding back his foreskin entirely. For the first time in a long while, she used her control over the elements, slightly. Shendu took a shuddering breath as he felt the chill of water tease him along with Bai's hand stroking the length slowly. She was marvellous; she apparently knew just how to grasp, and slide, just like some of the finest concubines he had tasted. He clenched his fists; claws digging into the palms of his hands and only failing to draw blood because of the scales covering his body. He felt how Bai cupped his orbs gently, rolling them carefully on her palm and her sharp claws leaving fleeting, hot scratches. Bai smiled wickedly as she saw Shendu try to resist her touch, breathing hard and expelling a gust of smoke from his nostrils. Her hand moved up slowly, sliding from the hilt to below the glans with torturous sluggishness. Then she squeezed hard to prevent her hand from sliding off and tugged gently at him, relishing his grunts. Shendu enjoyed the show, and was dumbstruck for a brief moment when her tentacles started to move. They reached out and teased him around the tip, making him quake and shiver with delight. They slid down further, coiling around his member and giving him a stimulation no human could ever hope to aspire to. Bai took her hand away from his proud, throbbing shaft, and slid down to her own body. She felt how desire had already opened her up and provided moisture, her finger smoothly entering her passage. It made her squirm and her tentacles slither. And then she fastened her mouth to him, letting his flavour seep into her mouth as her hands and tentacles continued their stimulation. The suction and her tongue dancing around the tip was so intense that it made Shendu snarl. He throbbed and a gush of flavour poured out of him.

Bai broke the connection and teasingly kissed the tip, making Shendu gasp. He'd closed his eyes. "I want you." "Then take me." Shendu lifted her up and turned around, placing her gently on the throne before feasting his eyes on her exposed form. Her own liquids were already running down her scales in eagerness. Her breasts heaved with her breathing, making them beckon him. His member twitched in eagerness. Bai gasped as Shendu went down on her instead, feeling his hot breath on her intimates before his thick, forked, draconic tongue entered her. Her tail thrashed violently as she felt him slither and slide inside her. She could feel how her lubrication oozed out of her with enough volume for Shendu to eagerly lap and drink it up. It was cold, but strangely fresh-tasting, like a spring. He pressed his thumb firmly on her jewel and nudged it carefully. She squirmed as her passage tightened around his tongue. He didn't stop, he kept gently rubbing the spot, flicking it and setting her desire ablaze. He pulled his tongue out, and started to snake it around her slit with purposeful, long motions that caressed the length of it. Then his tongue went ever upwards, leaving a warm trail on her body. Shendu rose, the heat of his breath and tongue caressing her belly, and then the valley of her breasts. And then he was on her. For a moment, his face twisted into a snarl as he plunged into her, stretching her. It'd been so long. Bai moaned at the heat inside her as Shendu growled in pleasure from the chill caress of her walls. He pulled out again entirely, revealing his member, gleaming with her juices, before plunging into her depths again. She overflowed from her own liquids as he moved inside. Her tail curled around his and squeezed so tight that it was painful for both. Even that was washed away in the currents of lust as their lovemaking intensified. They lost themselves in each other as they united, carried by a powerful, shared emotion neither had ever experienced. Neither had ever even thought that Demon Sorcerers would be capable of the emotion at all. They were beings of cruelty, violence and domination. Despite that, neither remembered ever feeling as good as they did now, not even when they lorded over mortals on Earth. They moved together, meeting thrusts and slithering with caresses. Shendu felt her clamp around him desperately, so eager for him that her body itself did not want him to leave its embrace. Bai felt his member grow hotter and hotter with each throb. He bared his teeth as he slapped against her, as close to climax as she was. She caressed his face and kissed him on the tip of his muzzle. "It's alright. I'm ready." He responded in acts, not words. His hands entwined with hers intimately as he started pumping into her with abandon, holding the tightness in his underbelly in check as best he could, as long as he could. The movements made Bai cry out in lust, her body drawing even tighter around him and sending them over the edge hard. The heat exploded out of him in a spray of semen that didn't seem to stop. He grunted and growled as he ground his hips against hers, and then roared at the alien skies as the climax reached its peak. Shendu collapsed on top of her, and she let him, his weight pressing on her making her feel safe and cared for. The haze spread out from her belly, and into her limbs as a teasing warmth that she hadn't experienced for centuries. Her arms curled around his waist and a smile found its way to her lips. Their eyes met again, the red dimmed to the light of smouldering embers, and smiling at each other warmly. Shendu's smile turned into a grin. "I have to wonder...why me? I thought you had a thing for Tso Lan?" She responded with a grin of her own. "Vow of chastity...and 'the Moon can move the sea, but the sea can't move the Moon,'" Bai winked teasingly. "So I'm the next best thing?" There was the hint of a growl in his voice, and then he shrugged goofily and took a deep breath. "I think I can live with that."

Shendu and Bai curled up on his throne, enjoying the feel of each other's presence along with the emotions they discovered. Perhaps spending eternity like this did not have to be so bad, after all.
