Pleasure City of Dis

The nun placed the girl within her room and didn't manage to look at her even once. What she did look at, was the crawling boy on the floor. In looking at him, a gentle pulse left this nun in the magical sense. Doing so allowed her to know the truth of the boy on the floor. She knew exactly why he still looked so elated and why he was crawling along the floor like that. The next request from the girl as she settled into her room was that she have the boy on the floor. Did that contradict the orders Kolin had given... well, yes and no. "The Queen demanded that we keep you away from mediocre dick. That one... I am sure counts as terrible, not that I have experience in such a field. If you are sure... " she moved over to the lad and aimed to pick him up by the back of his collar. Watching him crawl was sort of gross. If she succeeded she'd have him by the scruff of his collar like a lost kitten and would gently toss him over the threshold of her room while standing outside of it. "You look like a strong girl... if you revoke his ability to stay... he'll be tossed out of this room without question. Do enjoy your stay... The men and women will provide you whatever you need and follow your orders without question so long as you don't try to leave," she said without making eye contact which the girl demanded. "And if you find that they cannot complete an order to your exact needs... you can call upon me instead, speaking my name will bring me to you in a short matter of time."

And with that she bowed out to return to the show of the throne room. What had Kolin done in the last few minutes? Well, she'd stared at this group of children from her throne. She'd talked herself both into and out of her current line of thought a couple of times. These kids could grow up to be more of what she wanted for this place. At the same time, they were currently a drain on resources that she didn't need until they got up and running. She'd been building this place for ages, she didn't like children and she needed the abyss creature to come to her and serve her. And she needed... fear. Yes, all of these kids appeared to be scared but she never wanted to look in the eyes of any of them and see the amount of resistance she'd seen in the eyes of Guin. Yeah, that was a no. She would make a statement here and now against this kind of rebellion. "Alright, everyone thirteen and older ten steps to the left," she finally said, pretty reasonably satisfied, by the action. And once there was enough space between them she looked at the younger children. Everyone left between the ages of 12 and infant. Oh that was the bulk of them huh? less than 300 children were thirteen and above. Over a thousand young kids were in this room and they were about to become the ground level for the queens newest member. As she made this decision in her head, the mark on the floor began to grow each of the children in that circle would gain a mark which made it obvious what she was about to do with them. "I sacrifice." she said of the entire group 12 and under. Each child in that age range would gain a strange looking mark on their neck as Kolin's own power and negative power called out to the Void for a demon servant to help with her current endeavors.

Mediocre, huh? Why that mattered, didn't register at all to the girl. "Well I didn't say I wanted his stupid dick, did I?" she protested, though it seemed the lad was being tossed into her room by his collar anyway. She didn't care that there was a way to automatically remove this male from her room; she could obviously manage that without any magical mumbo jumbo. What she couldn't do, however, was call upon the nun if the other servants of this palace were deemed unfit. What even was her name? The girl heard it a few times by now, but it wasn't her concern to remember the identities of those who served that whore queen.

Speaking of those who served Kolin, over a thousand potential workers were met with a fate worse than death. With two simple words, Kolin marked every child under the tender age of 13 as fodder for her newest acquisition. Brands appeared on the victims' necks, and darkness erupted from the summoning circle in the throne room's center. Though many tried to run and escape after experiencing only the pain of branding, tendrils of shadow and flame-like energy reached out to the markings. An army of faceless demons spawned to consume fallen bodies, after already feasting on the souls of said vessels. Ah, the innocence of children─ it tasted so sweet to certain devils of the Abyss, but a sacrifice of such mass was grotesque enough to achieve a new tier of demonic summoning. The flames which spread from the magical circle became green over time, eventually spreading their ethereal glow to the entire throne room, and indeed all of Dis. A body was formed amidst mass carnage, death and absorptions. It was a male figure, bare as a newborn babe. This male had a runner's build, was just a bit tall, and boasted elven ears peering through long, dark green, silky locks of hair. He was quite the 'beautiful' entity for a male, angelic even in all aspects except... the eyes. Narrow, apathetic, and that same sickly green as the fires burning away remnants of fallen children─ these were the features of those orbs in his head. Oh, and that fanged grin of his was among the most unsettling things that could appear in this world; it belied a craving, a hunger that was simply incomprehensible to terrestrial beings. To top it all off, a pair of curved horns emerged from his crown as souls and lesser demon spawns were all absorbed into his person.

"Re ipaaeji al?" he spoke in a tongue which shook the palace, the city, even the entirety of this country. Yes, even his voice carried with it a power that sickened the weakest of entities. If those children weren't the sacrifice for him, their souls would have collapsed and been absorbed into him anyway. In fact, the less capable humans living within Dis were losing their mortal souls to him as he spoke─ many random additional wisps were brought into his being while he awaited his summoner's proper call.

Ah, yes, the screams of children. That was one reason to get rid of them wasn't it? Yes, in Kolin's mind the inconvenience of children was far worse than their screams in the moment their souls were used to create a demon. She watched the entirety of this without feeling an ounce of sympathy for the children. Even as the older kids looked on in horror. Some of them fell to it as well, some of them remained strong but seemed afraid. More afraid than they'd been of that Nun who gave them bad vibes. The scene of the throne room was absolutely terrifying. A sick smile appeared on the face of Beatrice as she bowed out of the presence of the girl chosen by Kolin for whatever desire she had for her. "Beatrice." she mentioned her name in passing, but there was some strange amount of power in that word. As if it was a tie or a noose, it tended to choke those who spoke it from time to time, actually it was a wonder Kolin called her by name so often. Most people referred to her as a Nun or the Nun in this case. Whatever it didn't matter... the screams of children.

She made her way back to the throne room to witness the birth of another demon in this world. Oh how easily manipulated this woman was. At this point, several more could have been called into the world and it wouldn't have made the slightest bit of difference because Kolin had called this one into the world herself. A chuckle escaped the woman after she'd gotten that girl settled and she watched from the Queen's side as a silky haired pretty man formed himself out of nothing. The first words he spoke were in a language unknown to Kolin. It seemed to shake the world at large, perhaps it was simply him speaking one of those languages of power. she'd heard druids had that sort of power over words sometimes. "Yeah, you're at like 10... I need you at like 3. Still you're quite pretty..." she said of the man who'd formed himself of the souls of children. Beatrice would be the one to speak. "He wants to know who summoned him..." she said in an off-handed manner. She looked upon this man with a smile on her face, those golden eyes of hers stoic except for a small wink, aimed directly at the devil. "Oh, I did. I summoned him. Can he speak the common tongue. I don't want to use a translator for this every time..." she said with a bit of annoyance. She had a deal to make with this newly formed demon. And she was herself immune to such corruption though because of her own blindness she also didn't see it for what it was. She basically didn't have the sense to fear what she'd done, but such was the nature of one such as Kolin.

In this room, there were two who dared to gaze upon him. One was clearly far from sanity already, and the other was... "Iliioenj?" he questioned aloud. This word was a bit different from the others he'd spoken. It was, in fact, the true name of the existence he saw before him. Not only did the country tremble from this simple utterance─ the entire continent was in danger of being torn apart, if only for a moment. That look on her face told the tale, though. These pitiful mortals with their fragile plane of existence, they didn't even know what stood right next to them. What's more, it was one of them which brought him here, as opposed to his... kin. "Mjd ie, nh flvnji," he spoke further.

This being could not yet leave the circle he'd been brought through; there first had to be an arrangement that bound him to this world for whatever time he, and his summoner, agreed upon. So, it was the blonde woman who brought him into a body made of innocent youths? Good. He would always prefer if his leash's moral compass was a bit lacking. Now then, he had to be capable of conversing with this thing, didn't he? Raising his left hand, he appeared to be mimicking a grasp. Unperceivable curse energy was the method used to take his would-be master by her very soul, choking it as an almighty pull sought to bring her directly into the devil's grasp. Once he had her by the neck, that wicked grin of his would be pressed into her lips. The soul he held onto would be pulled from, sucked from her core until it traveled up through her throat. Eventually, it would pass into the devil himself. Once that was done, he spoke again without moving an inch, or even moving Kolin away from himself. "You prepare a feast for my kind. What is it you desire, mortal?"

Oh? He chose to address her directly? Well, that was fair, they were... similar existences after all. "Ambblpi." Such a strange word fell from the face of the Nun. Ah but what was this, the power of her name alone was enough to shake the continent. The power of his name caused a shake as well. How dangerous it was for this pair to speak in such a way. It would be Kolin's opinion that whatever language this creature spoke, the woman at her side also spoke. She made the assumption that all the shaking was due to the untamed power of the demon on the floor and not much else. Everything was fine, right? It wouldn't matter much at all that they could speak to each other in such a way, so long as everything she desired was taking care of in the meantime. He was quite right with that look, these creatures had no idea what Beatrice was... in fact, the only ones who showed any amount of distaste around the woman were the children, a lot of which were no longer a problem. The remaining ones, heard the words being spoken and were covering their ears barely holding themselves together trying not to run from fright. All frozen out of fear. They'd seen two things this day, this woman choosing one of their ilk for some unknown purpose. Then this same woman sacrificing all the small children just to summon a demon. What would she do to the rest of them?

Well right just now, an unknown curse was being placed. This one pulled Kolin from her chair and practically choked her. The amount of good that was to her, was far too high for normal understanding, but she managed to keep it together. Even as this newly formed naked man pulled at the depths of her very soul. What was this for? Well apparently so he could convert his conversation into one she understood. Oh, that was interesting, and kind of intimate. Whatever. He asked her a question did he, she'd prepared a feast for him so what did she desire? "I want a servant. Someone to replace the ones I lost and help me along my ascension. Take my orders, give me magical advice and conveniences, subdue or kill my enemies. Whatever I need at the time, regardless of the face I wear..." she said with all the haughtiness her person possessed. Yes, he was holding her by the neck, but again she hadn't the sense to understand the real danger here. She had a goal and he would help her reach it. This was all.

This woman wanted a servant. Of course; there was hardly another reason to summon a resident of the Abyss. She wanted a replacement for those she'd lost. A foolish notion; there was no comparing the likes of mortals to one of his ilk. She wanted someone to take her orders, advise her magically, and slay her enemies. Oh... one of those things was interesting. In the history of this world, creatures of the Abyss had been called upon countless times for just as many reasons. Never had one returned to their home realm with stories of terrestrial beings they'd instructed. Regardless of what he thought about this curvaceous woman, at least one thing she desired was worth his interest. "You call upon me, forcing me to speak this guttural tongue... and I answer. Mai Animusphere has made sufficient sacrifice to deal with the Abyss," he said, speaking through an entity other than the Nexus when making something very similar in concept to this world's oaths. "This body will be sustained as long as I am to remain in this world. I will accept either the essence of mortals, or... I will do as the mortals themselves do, and syphon my master's energies. Whatever sort pleases you is fine, so long as the quantity is sufficient. I will also be taking what I require for my own satisfaction as this world fuels my experiments."

The devil released the woman's neck, but the grasp itself strangely went nowhere. In fact, his will alone would be enough to bring her to her knees before him. He knew of all she'd done through that first moment of contact, and he knew what such a position before a nude male meant for her in recent days. Alas, that had nothing to do with this. His power was crippling to mortals, and he intended to use it for the sake of subduing his 'master' as she would be called. There was one thing she needed to know when addressing him in future. "In your infant tongue, I am... Malleus Draconia," he said, speaking a name that had not been heard in this world for many millennia. "You will be my master. I will do your bidding, and you will serve my purpose as a link to this barren realm of reality. You will possess this form of mine in name alone, as your soul will be an object in my possession. If these terms are acceptable to you, mortal child, speak the words of binding."

This woman made her desires known in the moment and they were met by this man speaking once again. Oh, he really was now fluent in the language she spoke. That was good, but what was this... he worked through something not the world and not the Nexus? Well he did come from the Abyss. It would make sense if it was a separate entity all togehter. That was simple enough. Ah, but why did he know her name, not just her name, but the truest form of it. The one she'd abandoned long before now, disconnecting herself from her father and siblings as she obviously didn't fit their ideal. "How do you know that name? No one knows that name..." Oh, he wasn't really done yet. So full of words these last few men were. Even as he removed his hand from her neck she was left and forced to her knees. He was naked a this point, did he plan to take advantage of her? That was an interesting thought... Why did she like that as an idea? Obviously he was here to serve her, not the other way around. His words even agreed to it. So, why had her mind wandered so hard at the idea of it? Oh well, that was something to consider later. He'd do what she said, and she'd be his master. He'd take what he wanted as far as energy from her or other mortals... Okay. Well, that was fine. She could call him in name alone, and he'd use her to link himself to this world and take her soul. Of course. None of that sounded terrible. What use did she actually have for her soul regardless. She'd be a goddess again eventually and nothing would matter. And in the meantime she'd have everything else she wished for and this obviously powerful entity at her disposal. Did she care she was currently on her knees before this man? No... actually she sort of liked it there. Did she care what he wanted in exchange for his services? Not really, "I accept." Welp, this one wasn't made under duress but it was more connected to her name than even she'd give herself credit for doing. One day, she'd actually stop making promises on her own name, one day she'd realize what doing such a thing actually meant. But today wasn't that day. Today she was accepted a deal with a devil to further her own goals.

How did he know that name? He knew everything he needed to. This woman's life ─ all of her lives ─ were all within Malleus' mind at present. Her every action, her every thought, her every emotion, could be viewed like a child's picture book. He even understood that she thought herself above repercussions in a way. Would swearing herself to the Abyss be alright, simply because she would eventually become a goddess once more? Sadly, no. The deities of this world were like queens to a colony of insects─ their titles meant nothing beneath the boot of a greater species. "What you have always been, is a lesser creature. What you will always be, in this life, is the same. There is only one way to be anything greater," he said. His hand reaching out again, Malleus decided to take her acceptance of their arrangement, delivering unto her his gift in a way her soul desired it. He could easily sense what occurred in the recesses of her mind, and his action would replicate that hidden desire while he spoke.

"Your soul is in constant torment because of your own decision to be an even weaker being. Shall I grant you the knowledge to know reprieve from insanity of the Void, my master?" Malleus asked. All the while, darkness seeped from the skin of his hand. It traveled a short path toward Kolin's mouth, gaining mass and girth as it slipped and pulsated down her throat. It would naturally enter her soul over time, but it seemed to be replicating something quite familiar to the woman in the meantime. Oddly enough, this ordeal would leave her with the ability to speak while it occurred. It was, after all, something that would only feel physical. "Give the order, human. I would so love to see what a true connection to the Abyss would do to you after your sophomoric dreams have all crumbled away."

Kolin was quite confused by this entity, and all the while Beatrice found herself staring at this man with that same swarmy look. He would or maybe already did understand already how very stupid this woman was, and how little thought she put into her own actions. Though her carelessness in moments such as these would eventually bring enough of their kind back into the world that they'd be able to roam freely once again. She was quite certain the blonde woman and all of her faces had no idea how low on the totem pole she actually was. Well, no matter, she'd be learning that a bit from one such as Malleus. Though he wasn't quite the top of the food chain either, he was far enough up that an existence like Mai's was a mere child to him. "I am not lesser." these were words of Kolin's words of Mai's words of her very being. She didn't like the idea of being lesser, much less would she accept such a statement from someone claiming to serve her.

Still he came with information and a gift of some sort. What was this gift? Well, it was darkness which slithered down her throat, oh, and it grew into something rather girthy in the meantime. Kolin's face flushed. She was quite certain there was actually nothing in her mouth and throat, but it felt like there was. How was she supposed to concentrate like this? Well, she was supposed to apparently, according to this man she was insane, because of the Void and he could grant her reprieve. "What are you even talking about? " she started oh that feeling didn't much change. "Tell me whatever it is you think I need to know. It's not like I have any idea what you're talking about," she said. That was an order. She'd take whatever he offered at this point, especially given the strange feeling in the throat at present. Oh, what weird thoughts she had around this man... maybe she really was crazy, surely thoughts like this weren't normal.

There was one sentence mere mortals were never allowed to say. To claim she wasn't lesser, was to place a stain upon all those who inhabited the Void─ all entities cast from this world for simply being too much as it were. That hand of Malleus' which poured darkness into Kolin's throat had another job, it seemed. His fingers snapped, and a single moment after would flood the human's mind and body with the Void's own essence. Her mind's eye, and her every sense would experience that which was nothing... but also everything at once. It was a hell so mighty that even the world itself, with all of its self-proclaimed gods and the like, could not tolerate even a fraction of it. It would last for just a second, as to avoid obliterating the mortal soul before he had use of it. "You are nothing. Fear not, little thing. I will raise you into one of us, when your mortal notions of godhood stop outweighing your ability to perceive a true existence. Then..."

He wouldn't bother finishing that thought. When the one called Kujaku Mai became what he needed her to be, things would take a sharp turn in this world. Until then however, he would have to enlighten the woman. For now, he would prevent the inevitable self-destruction caused by an additional touch of the void's influence within her. "Your soul is filled with the aspect of Lust. You've been rejecting it. This world's Age of Gods ended with your first form, but Lust remained as a power within you. Foolish though you were with it, thinking a human vessel could maintain a power your goddess form hardly managed to utilize. Is that clear to you, child?" he asked as that darkness poured from him in even greater quantities, spreading outward upon reaching her torso. Of course the sensation would remain consistent, but he was in fact reaching the heart of her 'soul' with it. Such would have a greater effect on the woman than anything this world had to offer, whether she proved herself capable of utilizing it or not.
