Chapter 14

The following day after Onyxia was mysteriously cocooned in the Mystic Vines that sprouted from her womb the Council of Friends as well as the Orleasian Nobles gather in Onyxia's cave to continue planning for an extensive manhunt during the early morning. So their surprise the cocoon has browned and developed a thick layer of slime which smells of decaying plant matter. The group sits at a large table where they were when the horrifying transformation occurred, and speak quietly in tense and frightened voices while occasionally glancing at the cocoon who's dripping slime echoes in the cave. The leadership of Forest Town and the Orleasian Nobility are able to quickly come to agreements and partnerships as they are continuously reminded by the place of negotiations of the urgency of locating the only one who could fix this predicament. Federick Montivard leads sits beside Selina the Minotaur during the negotiations and proves himself the key instrument in sealing several disagreements, most of which caused by his own people proposing ideas that would end up being unfairly in favor of the Orleasians. They are a shrewd people the Orleasians at times to such excess that it is to their detriment, Federick's affection towards Selina helps him to ground his people's profit based political minds on the desire to help these people through a hard time. The other Nobles share his sentiment, but still slip up now and again.

After the negotiations have been going smoothly for roughly 2 hours the group disperses for a short recess, during this time Federick and Selina stand at the base of the cocoon and talk.

Federick "..."

Selina sighs wearily

Federick looks to her in thoughtful silence as he dwells on the situation, but finds his thoughts drifting towards the attractive woman standing beside him close enough to feel the warmth of her on his shoulder, and smell the earthy scent of her hair. He admires the single modest white flower adoring her flowing wavy brown locks tucked just behind her ear. Then he closes his eyes and returns to the present.

Selina spaces out and puts her hand on the cocoon as she remembers Onyxia in pain and the look of terror on her face as the vines burst from every orifice and then the sound she made as they tore through the sides of her belly. She shudders and whispers a prayer in her native tongue.

Much to both of the two's surprise the cocoon begins to bulge as something moves inside it, it undulates as whatever is the cocoon appears to wake up and start pushing against its walls. A purple light begins to glow from behind the vines and the slime seeping from the cocoon increases the rate it oozes out. The glow brightens and the movement of the cocoon increases until it appears almost frantic. There is a loud grating noise like giant slabs of stone rubbing on each other much like the sound an ancient dwarven great door makes as it opens. Then there is a hissing sound like air that was under pressure finally escaping its confines and blasting forth. Selina and Federick both see a massive crack appear in the stone of the cave's floor, and the ominous otherworldly glow flickering almost like fire.

One of the Orleasians cries "By the Gods! It's a rift into the demon world! Everyone! Run!" Without further question the Orleasians except for Federick drop everything, hike up their fancy robes and run like you would never have guessed men of their age could.

Federick grabs Selina's hand and pulls her towards the exit while shouting "We must leave! We have to get out NOW! Selina! Hurry!"

Selina breaks out of her daze as the first demon crawls out of the rift, drooling and singed from the journey through such a rough portal. Its fearsome teeth and claws made all the more terrible by the structure of the body bearing them. This creature is a Prince of Hell, it is humanoid with no tail, or extra sets of legs or arms. They are incredibly dangerous and have been classified by the mages guild as uncontrollable and extremely dangerous demons to be killed on sight as they possess the ability to summon more demons as well as use the natural magic of this world in addition to demonic soul magic. The Prince of Hell stands to his full height and towers a good 2 heads over Selina, sniffs the air and looks around. Selina notices he is completely nude and surprisingly human between his legs as she backs away slowly wide eyed with a hand over Federick's mouth as he shivers in her arms. The demon looks at the cocoon and scratches his head as if puzzled by it. Selina stumbles over a stalagmite and falls on it. She feels it tear through her pants and slide into her muff until she stretches too tight to move, she makes a tiny noise as she bottoms out but she stifles the rest of her cry. She looks up to see the demon looking straight at her from where he was standing with one eyebrow raised. He blinks once slowly and snorts in a halfhearted chuckle, then turns back to the cocoon and puts his hands on his hips as he glares at it apparently trying to figure out what it is.

Selina manages to ease herself off the stalagmite leaving a string of her girl juice connecting the tip of the rock to her stretched and throbbing hole. She leans on Federick heavily as she waddles towards the exit, wincing with every step. Just before turning the bend and being out of sight of the Prince, they hear a fleshy tearing sound and the sound of water gushing out and splashing on the floor, the demon is tearing into the cocoon!

Selina "Wait, ah... damn... Wait Federick, can't let him do that!"

Federick "Selina, we must get away, that creature is beyond anything you have ever fought before, I have only read of the Princes of Hell, and every record warns never to attack them without a full death squad of trained Demon-Slayers. You would never even make it across the room."

Selina "..." tears fill her eyes as she clenches her jaw and lets him lead her out of the cave.

The town is alerted of the demonic presence in the cave and evacuated, all except for a few who volunteer to stay and fight.

Selina gathers a few Centaurs, Werewolves, Werecats, Werefoxes, Elves, Dwarves, and even an Avian girl with a bow. Before they enter the cave however, an Orleasian Noble approaches the group and offers his magic, which the group gladly accepts. They ready their weapons and prepare to enter when they hear the flapping of giant wings. Anuvia has finally found them and brings Selina the small chest she carries. Selina reads the note on the top of the chest "Dear reader, please direct me to Forest Town where I am to be opened by the council." Selina wrenches the chest open and sees the enchanted mirror. When she picks it up it bursts into flames and shows a mighty maelstrom in some chamber. Moments later a face appears in the mirror, the face of Jacob Snow.

Selina bursts into tears when she sees him and babbles incoherently for a few minutes about what has been happening "Master! waaahaa, *sniff* Onyxia's, Onyxia is dead! The vines, they killed her! *sniff* and the demon! A Prince of Hell! He is murdering her body! Master! Save us!"

Jacob's eyes widen and he looks around for a moment, then looks back, he holds up a finger for 'one moment' then grabs some things, and comes back. He mouths 'Stand back!' a moment later the mirror begins to vibrate and crack. Selina drops it and backs up, Stone blocks shoot out of the ground and build a portal large enough for a man to walk through. Then the mirror explodes into green fire and purple sparks which swirl around the gateway until they liquefy into a smooth surface in the gateway which darkens to black, then a speck of light forms in the center of it and grows larger and larger until Selina can see into the room where Jacob is. Jacob touches the film on the portal and it stretches over his fingers like some kind of stretchy film, he pushes farther into the portal and his whole arm is enveloped. Then he pushes his entire body against it and slowly forces his way forward. With a snap the barrier slips him though and bounces back and forth for a few moments before becoming still again. After falling to his knees Jacob gasps and shivers, then says "whew! That was horrifying..."

Selina and the others flock around Jacob and cover him in hugs and kisses, and smile at him with eyes filled with hope.

Jacob hugs them back and kisses several foreheads, but then pushes out of the group towards the cave. "Show me this demon." he says in a voice that is deeper than the last time they heard him. He leads the group into the cave to face this adversary. As they walk into the cave their feet splash in the liquid mana that is still gushing out of the cocoon. When they enter Onyxia's chamber they see the demon standing in the flow of liquid, reveling in it as it washes over him. Jacob approaches unnoticed, and puts his hand on the cocoon. He closes his eyes and looks inside, what he sees is disturbing. The vines that killed Onyxia's body are leaching the mana out of her even now. Thanks to the bond her body is supplied with unlimited mana which the vines can't contain, so they swell up in places and pop. Thus the endless flow of mana. Jacob's face darkens in anger as he sees the corpse of his beloved dragon "She really did die..." he utters

The demon jerks his head out of the flow of mana when it turns red like blood, and crackles with chaotic angry energy. He jumps back and frantically wipes it off of him as it burns his skin. Then he sees Jacob standing on the other side of the flow of red mana, eyes burning with the colors of fire, and crackles of black lightning giving physical body to the emotions he is feeling. The demon stares at him in awe, and fear when he realizes Jacob Snow is the source of this delicious water fall of mana. Jacob holds out a hand towards the cocoon and the flow slows and stops, then it shrivels like a raisin. Jacob steps towards the Prince, and the prince steps back. Jacob raises a hand to cast magic at the demon, and the demon turns and dives into the crack in the ground which seals behind him.

Jacob turns back to the group and says "I felt his mind, sensed his intentions. He will return, and use the mana he collected today to create a better portal. He will bring friends, and many minions, but where and when he will return, I do not know."

Jacob gazes back at the shriveled remains of the cocoon and sees Onyxia's arm hanging out of the gash. He closes his eyes and holds his head in regret for not preventing such a horrific death. He is flooded with guilt and frustration. But then an idea sparks in his mind and his head snaps back up. He walks over to the mass of tangled vines and uses magic to untangle everything and lays the vines down flat on the ground revealing Onyxia's corpse. He walks over the vines up to her body and puts his forehead to hers. His eyes snap open, he senses life! Not Onyxia, but within Onyxia! He rolls her over and cuts the vines. Once she is laying on her back her hind legs flop open revealing her puffy super-sized vagina, and senses the life even stronger now. He uses magic to push on her belly and spread her vagina, red mana gushes out, and out slides a pure white being whose skin glows faintly. Jacob's eyes widen, he recognizes this little person from one of the book he read in the temple palace library. She is a Goddess of magic, born from a sprouted heart of magic. She is not breathing, so Jacob puts his ear to her chest. He hears a heartbeat, so he pinches her nose and kisses her to blow air into her lungs. She spits up red mana and coughs then moans and shivers. Jacob hugs her and rubs her dry with his robes. She makes a mewling sound and presses against him. When she opens her eyes and stares at Jacob for the first time their eyes meet and they gaze into each other's eyes in equal awe of each other. She has slightly larger eyes than a human and has beautiful deep purple irises.

The tiny Goddess whispers "You saved me, little human." and smiles adorably.

Jacob snorts slightly and grins as he says "You killed my dragon."

The Tiny Goddess' eyes widen in horror and she spins around and sees the corpse of Onyxia. She covers her mouth with her tiny hands and gasps, then falls to her knees. Then she flinches and looks back to Jacob with horror in her eyes.

She crawls over to Jacob's feet and clutches his robe as he stands and watches her, the happiness fading from his face as he looks at the corpse of Onyxia. She looks up at his face and stutters to find words that describe her sorrow and apologize but only makes little noises instead.

Jacob looks down into her face with a cold expression on his face "If I hadn't been fortunate enough to be doing an experiment that unknowingly created a vessel capable of containing a soul the very day you killed Onyxia. I would not let you leave this cave alive." he pauses to let his words sink in.

The tiny one's hands fall from Jacob's robes as she is frozen in fear of this most terrifying human, she clutches them over her chest and sits quietly, too stunned to speak at this weight of these words that should feel like hollow threats to a goddess, but they ring with deadly truth in her ears, as if this young human commands power to rival a Gods and would have no issue killing her for this. She stares blankly, unable to move or speak.

Jacob puts a hand on her head and takes a deep breath, then with a softer more relaxed voice and his eyes closed and face tilted upwards he says "No, I wouldn't. You didn't choose to be born inside my beloved dragon, you didn't choose anything and are as much a victim of this as Onyxia was. I will forgive you if you do one thing for me in return." he lowers his face and looks into her eyes.

She squirms closer and says with such eager enthusiasm it almost makes Jacob cringe "Yes! Anything!"

Jacob smiles kindly and says "Swear to serve me until I release you. You will be mine to command, and your only priority will be to serve me. Your old life and old responsibilities are over, you will be my pet and my slave. Swear yourself to me, all of you, Body, Mind, and Power." his soft smile and sweet voice do not match the significance of his ultimatum. His words would be the ultimate blasphemy if he were anyone else, and would be laughed at by any God for saying them. But he is not anyone else, and this little Goddess senses his power is comparable to her own, and far more suited for conflict.
