Fluffy Tails (Hafnium)

The arena was littered with broken weapons, craters, chunks of debris and blood stains from previous matches. He was set to fight three rounds for the crowd, and would be paid a solid purse of fifty denarii for his efforts, and for each bout that he won the prize would double. The fights weren't to the death, but lives were lost often in the arena and there would be no consequences for him if he did slay his opponents. Such was to be expected in the public arena of Acheron, the demon city, where any could go to fight in an array of matches ranging from organized combat of one group against another to sexual duels between individuals. The only rules, at least as far as he knew, were that nothing that he employed could risk harming the spectators.

The crowd of demons sitting in the stands around the circular arena, which was roughly a hundred feet in diameter, were already crying for their bloodlust to be sated as he awaited his first opponent. He was alone, and had arrived before his first opponent of the day, but it wasn't long before the announcer's magically amplified voice called out over the crowd, signalling the entrance of Kherem's first opponent. The wide double doors on the opposite side of the arena opened, and a squad of a half dozen diminutive, green skinned creatures wielding simple weapons came jogging into the arena. They fanned out around the edges of the arena, moving to encircle him no doubt, but they were will eighty feet from where he stood, giving him plenty of time to prepare or to move to intercept the lesser demons.

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

Kherem had, upon entering the arena, headed to the very center of it. The tall warrior garbed in gray and black battlerobes had remained still and silent as had waited for his opponents. The reasons he had entered the arena was twofold, the first naturally being to test his prowess in body and spirit, and the second were due to a lack of funding. The prize money would feel good once it filled his pocket, if he won that is.

As the green-skinned opponents began entering the arena, Kherem drew two of his blades, scimitars of his own making, his left held in a reverse grip, his right in a more conventional manner. He rose his righthand blade skywards, holding the left behind his back, and then lowered his sword as he bowed before his opponents as their approach began. Then he took his stance, a completely open one that no doubt would make him an easy target to strike upon, and relaxed, breathing calmly until the moment the enemy would be upon him.

Then the storm would begin.

The goblins made no effort to return the gesture that Kherem offered to them, and slowly moved around the edge of the arena while he remained in place. The crowd began to grow quiet as tension rose, wondering what might happen when the goblins reached the man who seemed not to even ready to bother with defending himself against them. It wasn't long before the lesser demons reached him, and the battle began.

The first goblin came rushing in from the front with a wide swing, no doubt meant to force him to step back and away. Kherem could tell as much because the goblin seemed surprise when he simply stood and accepted the hit, his body prepared for the minor cut that it received, which was barely more than a scratch after it got through his protective robe. Two swings from his own blades laid the lesser demon low with a minimum of effort, either killing it or knocking it out quite handily. The same could be said of each of its fellows, as Kherem accepted a single hit from each of them, his body taking minor wounds that his state of controlled rage easily allowed him to ignore, and in turn giving each of them a pair of hits that could send the lesser demons to dreamland or to the afterlife, at the kitsune swordsaint's discretion.

Regardless, the crowd roared with pleasure as he easily and cleanly brought down each of the goblins, though they then began to grow restless when they realized that the fight was over so quickly. His robe was in tatters and covered in blood, but such happened to him regularly anyway given his preferred fighting style.

The crowd was not allowed to settle for long, however, before the announcer called forth his second opponent. Or set of opponents, as it were, as an ogre accompanied by a pair of massive black skinned hounds held on chains thundered into the arena, having to bend low to keep his head from hitting the doorway. The hellhounds howled and slavered, hungry for the blood they could no doubt smell even from the opposite side of the arena, and the ogre raised a primitive club that was as large as Kherem himself. This fight wouldn't be so easy as the last, given the radical difference in the strength of his opponents. The chains were released, and the hellhounds charged around the edge of the ring, hurtling toward him along the same paths as the goblins. He noted that one ran more quickly than the other as they rushed at him, the ogre slowly ambling and in no apparent hurry to join the contest.

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

Kherem unleashed a storm of steel upon any goblin that struck him, he would wound them, but not fatally. Any opponent that fell from one of his assaults were not dangerous enough to demand killing. As the storm ebbed and settled, Kherem looked to his new opponents. This would be adversaries of greater danger and prowess. Kherem were already bloodied at that, his face hardening as he focused.

Kherem spun around in place, his blades cutting into the ground, and held still in the wounded ground, darkness was the blood that flowed, climbing up his blades to cover them and his body. He would start to back away from the ogre, keeping his defense up as he awaited the first assault from the hellhounds. While he had no chosen god to pray to, he sent a quiet prayer that he would live through this day.

Kherem had enough time to allow the black armor to form over his body before the hellhounds rushed to attack him, both of their strikes doing nothing against his armored form, while his return attacks tore into the beasts with ease. They both tumbled away, either dead or badly injured at Kherem's discretion, and that left only the ogre for him to contend with. The beast raised its club, but approached cautiously seeing that its allied monsters had fallen so quickly and so easily. He had a moment to prepare for it, or to go forth and attack it before it could reach him rather than wait for it. The crowd, having seen him so easily bring down the hellhounds, was a mix of excited cries and annoyed boos, some of them clearly wishing for more of a spectacle while others were simply pleased that blood was being spilled.

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

Kherem hadn't as much as flinched as the Hellhounds came charging for him, he had absorbed the blows and spun around in a whirlwind of blades, striking the creatures down and wounding them, but had hoped to not slay them. This new opponent however, likely called for new tactics. The cheers and jeers of the crowd did little to him, of course the cheering was nice, and the jeering less so, but he was here to test, and prove, himself. He hadn't signed up to this to entertain, but to earn money, and to potentially make a reputation for himself. He would need both if he wished to continue his career.

Staring upon the approaching Ogre, Kherem finally dropped his defensive stance, and sprung forward as fast as his legs could carry him, his eyes darting over the Ogre to see if he could find any unprotected area within his reach. The Kitsune were on the offensive now, and prayed that the decision would pay off.

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

As the ogre drew near, Kherem suddenly shot forward. There was a gasp from the crowd, flashes of red as his blades sung through the air, and then the ogre stumbled as the kitsune landed back on the ground. The ogre tumbled backwards, Kherem's strikes having laid it low in a pair of quick blows, and landed with a loud thud that shook the ground. The crowd finally cheered openly for him, but it was a brief thing as they settled into bored grumbles.

The announcer didn't seem to quite know what to do, given Kherem's propensity for quickly dispatching his foes, but announced the third and final bout quickly enough. The main attraction underway finally, the crowd in the stands became more excited. The door opposite Kherem opened, and out walked.... A woman, lithe but still possessing alluring curves, clad in a tight fitting one piece emblazoned with the colors and symbol of Acheron upon the chest, that of the white crow over a blood red backdrop, with black stars all around it. A silver tiara circled her head, from which two small horns also jutted, marking her as a demon, and her silky raven hair hung down past her shoulders.

The woman strode calmly across the battlefield, her cold crimson eyes set upon Kherem and a confident smile upon her face. As she did so, the crowd began to chant, "Draconis! Draconis! Draconis!" She approached steadily but slowly, giving the swordsaint ample time to prepare himself for the coming battle, and paused when she was several feet away from him, smirking and waiting.

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

Kherem was mildly surprised to see the ogre go down so... easily? No, that wasn't correct, Kherem had simply decided a good way to deal with his opponent. So far, his decisions hadn't let him down. As the crowds errupted in a shortlived cheer, Kherem bowed briefly, despite their grumbling. As the supposedly called 'Draconis' walked towards him from a distance, he bowed politely, if briefly. And once she were close enough for conversation, he'd speak. "Fare thee well in our battle, Draconis. May the better of us emerge victorious.", Kherem stepped back, quickly shifting his swords to his left side, but not to attack the demoness. "And my apologies, for what I may have to do."

With that, Kherem made a quick spin, as darkness sprang out from his shadowed form, the shadowy energies reaching out and flooding around him and Draconis, rising to four feet in depth, with buldging 'hills' six feet high placed sparcely, spreading as far out as it could, the darkness crawling up the demoness body, to befoul her senses, but did nothing to restrain her. With that, the Kitsune sank into the shadows, shifting movement as he tried to slip away, to prepare his next move.

[Optional Action Chain]
If he had managed to successfully slip away, Kherem would chug his energy potion, tucking the empty bottle away for potential later use, his following action would be decided wether or not the hideaway and potion chugging had been successful.

Of successful, he would head out after the demoness, attempting to slip up from behind to close his arms around hers, to pin them against her body, to hopefully immobilize her.

If failing, he would dash out for the demoness, swords ready to be brought down upon her.

Kherem's opponent smirked and returned his bow, though her crimson eyes never left him as she did so. She replied in a steady, even, and utterly confident voice; "Fight well, Kherem." With those simple words exchanged between the two of them, Kherem spun and blanketed the arena in a wave of darkness, bringing forth a wave of boos from the crowd around them. Draconis, whom the kitsune blademaster could still see without any trouble, simply smirked and placed a hand upon one shapely hip, closing her eyes and muttering; "A clever trick."

Slinking off a ways, his opponent simply stood in that same position, her only change being that she opened her eyes and scanned about as if she was searching for him. He opened and drank one of the potions he'd acquired before the battle, restoring all of his magical strength and causing Kherem to feel revitalized. The crowd continued to boo loudly at being unable to see the battle, covering the sound of his movements perfectly as he repositioned himself behind Draconis.

The woman was still unaware of Kherem's exact position, and with a lunge the warrior brought his arms around the woman's sides, trapping her arms against her body. His shadowy magic granting him strength, Kherem was seemingly at a severe advantage, but Draconis still seemed utterly calm, even remarking; "Nice move."

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

Kherem's ears twitched slightly as Draconis spoke, and stood still a few moments, he had not expected such lack of struggle. A coy smile crossing his lips. "My thanks for the compliment, Draconis, although I didn't expect pleasant conversation.", his hands shifted, slightly roaming along Draconis sides and front, although didn't move closer than an inch to her bust or crotch, feeling her up. "Truth be told, I am questioning myself if I truly caught you.", Kherem closed his eyes, inhaling deeply, taking a whiff of the demoness scent. "I am not much of a crowd pleaser, but perhaps it won't hurt to try having a bit of fun, I hope you won't mind if I do.", and with these words, Kherem once more got to action.

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

Inhaling the woman's scent, Kherem found the woman to have a surprisingly sweet, flowery scent about her. "Being opponents doesn't require that we be rude to one another," Draconis replied as Kherem's hands began to roam across her body, and as he briefly fumbled with her skin tight clothing in an attempt to get it off her, she said; "Mystery is the nature of things when dealing with demons, Kherem. There's a button on the front, between my breasts." When that button was undone, the entire top of the outfit came apart and revealed the woman's top half, her full breasts remaining pert and firm even without the support offered by her clothing, and the whole thing dropped to the darkened arena floor a moment later.

The crowd, despite being only able to see her top half, jeered with delight as the woman's chest was revealed to them. "I wouldn't mind having a bit of fun at all!" She replied confidently as his hands passed over her breasts, playing with the tips which rapidly grew excited beneath his touch. Her shapely bottom began to grind against his crotch at the same time, and she let out a low moan that was barely audible beneath the roar of the crowd as he continued to toy with her body. Kherem managed to get a taste of her spiritual essence as he molested the woman, and he found it to be far more powerful than he'd likely imagined from a mere arena fighter.

She knew that he knew as well, however, and a smile crossed the raven haired woman's face as she said; "And now, the real fun can begin!"

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

Kherem shivered as he took in the demoness scent, it was sweet and alluring to him, and he smiled embarassedly at being instructed how to remove Draconis' clothes. A tad surprised as the clothes almost unraveled themselves as result. "There is wisdom in your words, Draconis.", he grinned a little. "Very convenient clothes, by the way.". The clothes out of the way, Kherem helped himself to Draconis' generous bust, hands caressing along their sides slowly if briefly. Then they nudged and cupped beneath the orbs, weighing them in his palms gaugingly, and followed up with stroking along their sides once more as his fingers nudged, rubbed and ever carefully pinched the demoness nipples. As he managed to gain a positive response from Draconis' body, so did Draconis' recieve one from his, an erection easy enough to make out within the confines of his battle-robe. Kherem tried to block out as much noise from the crowd as he could manage, and let out a soft, surprised moan as he got a taste of the demoness spiritual essence, it was indeed more powerful than he had imagined, but it only excited him more.

"Delightful, Draconis. I am certain that I will enjoy this. I can only hope you do aswell.", with that, Kherem finalized his transformation, letting out a quiet wince as he closed his eyes shut, his chest pushing outwards as he shuddered. Soon, a gropeable bust would press against Draconis' back through the fabric of his clothes. Kherem had only tried transformation in such a manner a few times before, and it always left him a little dizzy for a brief time. He would dismiss the field of darkness by now, allowing the crowds to see him and Draconis fully. Once he recovered, he'd let one hand go from Draconis bosom, to tug off his battle-robe, whispering to her as he did. "Any particular way you'd like this to be done, Draconis? I must admit I am lacking in experience... And perhaps a little too eager than I should be.", Kherem smiled sheepishly.

"Oh yes, it's very convenient for these matches!" Draconis replied, wearing nothing but a smile as Kherem shifted his form to appear like a woman. The demoness raised an eyebrow at that, but as the darkness faded around them and found the two of them largely naked, Draconis almost completely nude and Kherem's robe barely hanging on to his now feminine form, the crowd began to jeer and shout loudly. Dozens of lewd suggestions started raining down from the spectators, but Draconis largely ignored them all.

"Oh, I know exactly what to do! Don't fret over a lack of experience..." She suddenly spun about, breaking Kherem's grip around her as she removed the last of his robes with one hand. As she faced the transformed kitsune, one arm and one leg wrapped around Kherem, holding him tightly against her body so that their breasts pressed roughly against one another. "I've got plenty to make up for it!" Draconis said with a sadistic smile, and she leaned back slightly and grabbed Kherem's cock, angling it upwards toward her wet, glistening sex.

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

Kherem blinked in surprise as Draconis, despite his efforts, easily slipped free from the hold. Making a half-hearted attempt to struggle free of Draconis' as she now held him in place. The loss of the torn robe was of no big surprise, expected even. The transformed Kitsune let out a quiet gasp, shivering as their breasts smushed together, offering only token resistance as the demoness began move them into position for the next step.

Kherem grit her teeth, growling quietly, as there were still some struggle left in the foxwoman. Even so, she appeared accepting of the situation, despite huffing quietly, cheeks adorned with crimson hues. "Of all weaknesses, why would I end up with "beautiful women"? Had I fought with my blade, perhaps I'd stand a better chance.", Kherem grumbled quietly, rubbing her body against Draconis' own. "Or maybe not. Perhaps my body will yield to whatever pleasures or pains you have in store for me, perhaps I will endure. However small that chance is.", Kherem fell silent for the time being, awaiting Draconis next choice of actions.

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

"There are worse weaknesses to have I'm sure," Draconis replied nonchalantly as she rubbed the tip of his member against her nether lips, the crowd jeering and shouting madly at the lewd display. "Perhaps you would have stood a better chance yes, but the results would have been far less pleasant had you lost in such a case."

Holding Kherem in place, Draconis finally sheathed his member inside of her slit, which was already moist and almost unbearably tight. Letting out a soft lewd moan as she impaled herself, Draconis lifted one leg and wrapped it around Kherem's back while her crimson eyes bored deeply into his. Her arms wrapped tightly around his body, holding his arms against his sides as she began to roll her hips in rapid smooth motions. Every buck upwards pulled her off of Kherem's rod while every move down only resulted in his rod being swallowed whole by Draconis' hot, tight, quivering flower. Barely able to move at all as the powerful woman practically used him as a sex toy, it took all of Kherem's willpower to keep himself from cumming inside of her immediately, and even with all of his effort set to that task he could feel himself preparing to erupt into her after only a few moments of her skilled motions.

As his climax neared, the flow of energy between the two of them most definitely going in favor of the demoness riding atop him, Draconis whispered into Kherem's ear into a low harsh voice; "That's it... Just let it all out..." She sealed her mouth over his before he could reply, her tongue pushing past his lips and attacking his almost violently. The crowd cheered on all the while, and it seemed like that battle was almost over, with Kherem's release no doubt meaning that he would lose consciousness after Draconis drained all of his spiritual essence. Such seemed inevitable, but Draconis didn't have the most secure hold upon him at the moment, and if he could push her away immediately he might be able to defend himself better.

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

Kherem grimaced a little at Draconis' words, stiffling a quiet, excited gasp as he felt her tease his erection. He had no rebuttal or arguement to her words of what might've happened should he had gone down fighting. Defeat always felt sour in his mind, but at least this kind of loss would leave his body satisfied.

The Kitsune failed to hold in a loud, feminine moan as the demoness plunged down upon his shaft, writhing ever so slightly in Draconis' firm hold of him. His fiery amber ones returned the gaze, and he didn't try to hide how much he was enjoying this, but there was still a glimmer of defiance in his eyes. He grit his teeth, biting his lower lip to hold in his cries, but that only worked half the times the demoness flower sank down around his maleness. He only put in mild effort in returning the movements, thrusting into Draconis as she went down, his focus lied in trying to endure after all... Something that was failing miserably.

Kherem could feel himself drawing ever faster towards his peak, and the demoness harsh tone rang in his ears, a shiver coursing down his spine. He wouldn't say anything even if he had been given the opportunity to do so, returning the kiss with fiery, lusting passion, that was something he was fine putting some effort into. His tongue lashed against hers viciously in retaliation, attempting to push his and her tongue into Draconis' own maw. His defeat imminent, and taking quick note of Draconis relaxed hold of him, he felt a desire to go out in a blaze of glory, at all costs.

Kherem thrust forward and up into Draconis, trying to push himself forward, hoping to topple her over, to push her to the ground and take some moderate amount of control of the situation before his body would fail him.

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)


Rolls

Draconis barely teetered despite Kherem's attempt to regain control of the situation, the powerful demonic woman utterly dominating him as her sex swallowed his member whole with every motion. His willpower was no match for the agile woman's incredibly skilled ministrations, the climax rising swiftly with every upward motion of her unbelievably tight pussy. Draconis seemed to sense this as well, as the leg she'd wrapped around his back held him a little more tightly and she moaned lewdly into his mouth. Her soft folds tightened and squeezed tightly around his length as she pulled upwards and relaxed as she descended back down, almost as if every motion were trying to milk Kherem's seed out of him.

The crowd roared with glee as they coupled before them, and when Kherem finally surrendered to the pleasure coursing through his body she allowed him to pull away from this kiss and let out his howl of defeat. She never stopped rocking her hips onto his rod as he ejaculated into her, and a small amount of his seed managed to escape and dripped down his member to pool on the ground between them, but the vast majority of his cum ended up deep inside of his victorious opponent. Draconis gorged herself upon Kherem's essence even as he emptied his seed into her womb, tendril's of the demon's spirit seeping into his own and sucking out vast quantities of his spiritual energies as he was helpless to resist. Only the return tugs, and instinctive power that he had to will himself not to do, kept him from blacking out. As he came, he vaguely recognized that Draconis was moaning lewdly as well, but such came as barely an afterthought compared to the mind numbing pleasure that he had sunk into.

When he came to again, he realized quickly that he was still in the arena, only now he was on the ground on his back, with Draconis straddling him and still humping herself upon his still erect manhood. His hands were held at either side of his head, leaving her perky breasts within easy reach of his mouth, and she was blushing brightly. Eyes closed, she seemed to be reveling in the continued twitching of his rod, which still spat small amounts of semen into her body from time to time. Opening her eyes and seeing him coming back to his sense even if his limbs felt too doughy to even move at the moment, Draconis grinned down at him and said, "You certainly shot a lot into me! How long were you saving up for? Mmmmm...."

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

Kherem came down from the height of his climax with a quiet, feminine, groan escaping his lips. He had lost himself completely to the pleasure for a brief moment, enough for Draconis to push him to the ground, much like he had intended to do with her just moments before. Soft little moans continued to escape his lips as the demoness still rode his throbbing shaft. He were on his last reserves, he knew that much. This was far from his finest hour, but with no power to draw upon in order to continue struggling, he graciously accepted his defeat. "Not enough, as you still appear unsated.", he smiled weakly, grunting slightly as he tried to make a little buck up into Draconis. Likely a futile attempt.

Kherem smiled at the sight of Draconis' rosy cheeks, as they drew his attention more than her bosom, sighing quietly as he basked in the moment. "A bittersweet defeat, I hope it was not a shallow, empty victory for the lady.", the Kitsune stiffled another moan from escaping his lips. Then his eyes took on a more pleading look. "As unsightly it is for a fallen warrior to beg the victor, I request one mercy from you, Draconis...", Kherems voice was trembling slightly, with worry more than anything.. "I plead to you, to take measures so that my seed will not bear fruit from this union."

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

"A demon can never be sated," Draconis replied sagely as she continued to buck up and down on his cock, which was already starting to throb as her expert motions and tight folds pushed Kherem swiftly toward cumming again. She laughed heartily in response to his request, but it was a merry laugh rather than a scornful one and she leaned back to grind her clit against his mound and released his hands as she replied, "So sweet.... If it weren't against arena policy I'd try to keep you! Not many men would care if they sired progeny in a situation such as this.... Fear not, if I allowed any seed released into me to produce offspring I'd have mothered a legion of bastards by now!"

There wasn't much that Kherem could do after that as he felt the pleasure rising in his cock once more, and all too soon he unleashed another torrent of cum into Draconis' body. The demon's feeding upon his soul proved too much for him to withstand after that, and he blacked out on the arena floor, his partner's moans and the cheers of the crowd the last things that he heard.


Kherem awoke in the same form he'd passed out in, lying on a small cot and covered in a thin blanket that only did a passable job of keeping the autumn cold at bay. His robe had seemingly been repaired as he slept, as it was lying folded on a small table beside him. His swords and all the other things he'd taken with him into the arena were present as well, in addition to a small leather sack that he found to be filled with coins. There were a couple dozen other cots in the room, about half of which were occupied by assorted people and creatures. An alraune in a skimpy nurse's outfit was patrolling around the room checking on people, and she was relatively close to him as he awakened.

Re: This is a Good Plan (Smokefish)

Kherem was a little relieved at hearing the merry laugh, and smiled, overjoyed at hearing Draconis words regarding the topic of pregnancy, albeit he did blush about her commenting on desiring to 'keep' him and that it was odd of him to bring up such a topic. With little chance to express himself further before the rapidly approaching climax, he simply relaxed, even as the demoness loosened her hold of him. He willingly parted with more of his essence, to show his gratitude. Kherem softly groaned out his second peaking, and soon fell unconscious with a smile on his lips.


As Kherem awakened, he sat up slowly, letting the blanket fall off himself as he took a look around. It was over. With a sigh, he began to shift back to his natural form, that of a dark-furred male. Seeing the Nurse, he smiled up a little while reaching for his robes. "Oh, excuse me, Nurse? Would you happen to know how long I've been sleeping?", after slowly getting up from the bedding, the Kitsune began to don his clothes and gather his things. And if he had the attention of the Alraune, he'd soon add a few more words. "If possible, and if it is not too much trouble, could you send my regards to Lady Draconis? That Kherem hopes to meet her again some day in the arena."

Whatever the answers he recieved, if any, Kherem would take his leave afterwards, but not before thanking the Alraune for her assistance if any. That is, if nothing came up to prevent him from leaving that is. He was eager to get out of the arena grounds and facilities, richer and hopefully wiser than before he entered. If he got as far as outside the Arena, he'd have a look around himself, wondering what to do next, and what locales of interest might be within sight.
