Two Worlds
So... I've been RPing with a friend for over ten years and... We've had this particular setting going on for sometime and I finally decided to take it and sort of unify the idea's and setting in general into one story. I hope you enjoy it, it's definitely a little more... out there than others, I do intend to make a series out of this as well.
More or less an overall intro to a series I intend to do involving all these characters and more.
Two Worlds
The reality of this universe is not what you think. Heaven and Hell certainly exist but rather than the biblical tales of casting each other asunder, of satan's terrible armies wreaking havoc in the material world, demons possessing the wicked or angels smiting the heathen, a powerful truce has been formed.
Certainly, both compete for the souls of mortals, but not with violence or anger. An understanding and even friendly demeanour is taken, and while both sides do not fraternize openly, it is possible to see the bonds of friendship and perhaps even love if one looks hard enough.
Humanities souls are not simply doomed to an eternity of damnation in hell or everlasting bliss in heaven. Both have their own attractions… Certainly, those who have done wrong are accordingly punished, and those who have done right are rewarded, but in the end, all finds a place to live out their infinity.
In all of this, are the few who are able to see this strange dichotomy. Whether trained to do so, in an effort to commune with demons or summon angels, or through natural talent, it has become recognized and even part of the mainstream culture. Cherubs dance among those who have managed to commune with them, or imps playfully cavorting with other like minded souls, training has become readily available for any interested or willing.
Still, there are dangers associated with this. Passions can easily be ignited and the consequences can be dire but despite that, all these beings want is simply love and one to share that love with… This is a story of those passions.
Josh sighed softly as he flipped through his notes. Everyone else in this class was able to summon a familiar but he just couldn't seem to do it. He would often delve into that easily came to him… The hell world… For whatever reason he seemed more in tune with it, but he was never able to convince one of the little imp creatures to come with him… to bond.
He sighed softly rubbing his eyes in frustration. His handsome features dogged by sleepless nights and stressful days, bags hanging under his grey eyes, his blonde hair darkening as he grew older. At only twenty, he felt like he was failing and it was something he was not accustomed to.
Sighing deeply he slowly shifted his long lanky form to begin meditating once again. He would cast his spirit once more into the realm of limbo… it was a relatively neutral ground, just as the the first sphere of heaven was… the lesser demons bantered and cajoled here.
Instead he felt a strange lurching almost the moment he began to settle in. He had no idea what was going on initially, and soon felt himself settle, disoriented as he sat in place for a few brief moments as he let the world around him settle, almost feeling sick with how it had shifted.
Groaning weakly, he slowly creaked an eye open and shuddered. The strange greyness of limbo was not present here… He was not where he should be. Gasping softly, he slowly stood and stumbled a little. The world around him was dark, a deep red sky hung above, and an ashy soil was underneath of him.
Standing up, he gasped a little as he looked around for any kind of marker to figure out where he had gotten himself. He knew he could be in big trouble. The lower circles were not pleasant places and the demons there were far more powerful.
It didn't take him long to figure it out. A couple of stumbling steps and he stepped towards a blackened tree, and saw a strange series of sinews that wound along the tree like vines. They were read and pulsing like raw flesh. It wasn't something he was used to but he knew he had to quickly.
Following the strange flesh along the branches he blanched and immediately blushed furiously. Hanging low like fruit to be picked and enjoyed, were male genitalia. Thick and throbbing at full mast, they dribbled strings of cum from them, heavy balls hanging underneath of each.
He stared up wide eyed for a few moments, completely taken aback by such a brazen display. His eyes drifting elsewhere and soon began to notice that it wasn't the only thing. Almost like a great gaping pit to catch prey in, an enormous cunny lay just beyond the tree, open wide and glistening in the red light. It was large enough that he could jump into it and be lost inside.
He shuddered and quickly made the connection. He was in Lust… not the worst place to be but he knew he should work to get out quickly. Already the sight of it all was getting him aroused. Shaking his head a little, he tried to focus on slipping back into limbo, but it was difficult, his mind constantly straying.
“Hey baby… You look like you're in distress?" A voice, deep and masculine called out for him. Blinking his eyes open, he gasped a little as he looked over the handsome figure before him. Hovering just above the ground, a red furred demon hung before him, a big friendly smile on his face.
He was fit, though what species he was was impossible to clearly define. Short fur, a lighter coloured under belly, his arms and legs were average though clearly held strength, toy pointed ears poked from his head and he had human like feat, toes with claws spouting from them just barely grazing the ground.
But what drew Josh's eyes immediately was the giant horse shaft hanging from between his legs, flaccid for the moment, but still larger than anything he had ever seen with his own eyes and certainly putting him to shame. Looking up into his eyes, they were red, but he didn't seem to have any intention of malice towards him, rather genuine concern. His face was round and had a black mane running down past his shoulders and over his back.
“A-ah… Yeah a little I guess." Josh managed to stammer out sheepishly. The incubus's smile only grew and nodded.
“I sort of figured… You younger ones stick to limbo pretty much exclusively… They make up lots of horrible stories but I'll let you in on a little secret." He said a conspiratorial note in his voice as he leaned closer, face to face with Josh and almost touching him with his round, black nose.
“We're not bad at all… Nothing will happen to you that you don't want." He said and drew back slowly and winked. “I'm technically not allowed to even touch you unless you give the okay… I mean… you are here bodily and everything so… can't have someone getting hurt here!" He chuckled deeply, a long rumbling note that seemed like it shouldn't come out of such a body.
“W-wait… bodily? I came over entirely?" He gasped looking down at himself confused and shocked. That shouldn't have been possible! He hadn't even started to practice such a thing let alone doing it to another level than limbo.
“Oh? You didn't mean for that to happen?" He said sounding genuinely surprised. “I'm impressed. You have some natural talent to you then!" Slowly he would slowly move around Josh, clearly giving him a good look over and smiled. “I must say you are pretty attractive… Perhaps you were meant to be here?" he suggested slowly but shook his head. “Ah but I come on too strong… I suppose you'll be wanting to get back? Or to Limbo at the very least?" he said sounding rather dismissive.
Josh quivered a little and frowned, quite uncertain and not fully trusting the demon that was clearly interested in him. “W-well… Yessir that would be what I'd like." He said cautiously.
Nodding his head he ushered Josh along the pathway, turning to face away. “Come along then. I'm Venzo. I'm going to take you to visit Rossland. He takes in strays like you… He's actually… uh… what's the human comparison…" he said airily. “A veterinarian! That's it." he said with a smile.
Josh frowned a little at this news and began to follow the demon slowly, not sure who Rossland was or what he might do to get him back. “Uhm… S-sorry… I'm Josh… but… Why would I see a vet? I'm not an animal… or… anything like that at all!"
Venzo chuckled deeply and shrugged. “No perhaps not… yet at least… But many of your kind come here with some… well… You're in the circle of Lust. I'm sure you can put your imagination to it… For those that choose to act like beasts well… they require care like one yes?" He suggested with a wink, slowing his movement to move along beside Josh and speak with him.
“Don't fear… you won't be treated as anything but a guest I promise you… But Rossland is also my master and more than that, the heir to this particular patch of hell… If he can't get you back, Markus, his father certainly can." He said firmly with a nod. “But I'd rather avoid getting Markus involved unless we have to."
Josh frowned a little taking in all this information. He was genuinely surprised… The incubus seemed to be honest and was being open and free with him. “Why are you being so… friendly? I thought demons of lust were… all about the rape and stuff?" he asked again cautiously, half expecting the facade to fade away.
“Hah I wondered when that would be asked." He said a grin splitting his lips revealing fangs and razor sharp teeth. “Like I said… pacts and all that stuff… long before either of our times… Our laws are firm and no one dare break them… the consequences are simply too dire and immediate."
He shrugged a little. “Not that I can't get what I want… plenty of visitors would enjoy me taking charge!" He chuckled softly. “Perhaps you will too someday but I'm getting off topic!" he continued with a sigh.
“Those who are here spiritually are to be treated as tourists… someone who is just passing through. Not much I can do with an incorporeal being anyways… But physical bodies are to be treated as guests. Like I said… I am unable to touch you without permission and only in a way you desire." He said brightly.
“I know I know… The stories of us raping and enslaving and such… Probably true in ancient times but they just keep telling those stories cause… well… I'm sure human society would completely break down once they learned that fact… a lot of you would just come and spend all your time here!"
Josh frowned a little. “I don't really understand… You'd still take charge wouldn't you? Abuse and rape and… stuff?" he said gesturing to find a word but finding nothing better.
“Well I mean… If that's what you want. I'm more of a sensual kind of demon… Oh you'd be my little bitch, but I'd be nice and gentle and loving… Begging for more by the end!" he said slowly licking his lips suggestively.
“There are plenty who would happily indulge abuse but there are other demons about who prefer to BE abused… There's something for everyone, like I said." He said with a smile and ushered him along another path, a strange and surreal town appearing almost out of nowhere.
The buildings were firm, dark walls but lights kept everything illuminated inside as if was being in the city back home. Demons strolled the streets, so many strange variations and bizarre things, it was hard to discern anything, or lock onto a single feature, beyond the occasional man or woman in a state of orgasmic bliss, being used in one fashion or another…
A woman being walked like a dog, a plug with a horse's tail shoved into her rear, a man bound to an incubus similar to Venzo, looking like he had been shrunk a little to fit snuggly against his belly and the giant horse shaft buried in his rear… so many more, in so many states, all completely ignored by the demons as they went about their daily business.
“Of course, their are pacts that keep some humans in place… some for 'eternity' but again, those are easily enough annulled… a simple word is all that is required, but really… Lust, while it is certainly a passionate sensation and utterly wonderful, is so very closely associated with love is it not?" He asked warmly, pointing to the bound man and his incubus.
The demon stopped his walking briefly to smile down pleasantly at his human captive and reaching down, tilted his head up and they embraced in a deep and obviously loving kiss. “They're in town almost every day doing the same thing… It's been that way for as long as I can remember… I'm pretty young… Thirty of your years you know. I suspect they shall be like that forever."
He smiled down at Josh warmly and gestured to a door. “Come along… in here." He said and pushed the glass door open to a waiting room. For the moment, no one was inside, but the door ringing made a fat gator woman lumber out.
She was huge… Josh wondered if she hailed from the circle of gluttony, and like the rest of the denizens of lust, wore no clothing whatsoever, large plump breasts spilling out over her front as she looked over the two, red lipstick on her lips and mascara over her eyes, she put effort into looking nice it seemed.
“Hello Venzo… A check up or is this another stray?" She asked slowly, leaning over the desk she was behind and smiled down at Josh, her fat tongue slipping out past her lips and wetting them. “He is quite the cutie…"
Venzo smiled and shook his head. “A stray looking to get back I am afraid… Rossland will take care of him?" he asked more out of courtesy. He knew the vet would.
“Oh of course, of course… Just have a seat over there cutie. I'll go get him. I don't think he's expecting anything else."
Venzo nodded and smiled down at Josh. “Alright just have a seat then lil buddy… I'm sure I'll see you again… Gloria will take good care of you. Don't worry. You're in the safest hands possible!" He said brightly and would move back, conjuring a rose out of thin air and tossing it to the human. “Until next time baby." he teased and with a wink, was out the door and gone.
Josh blinked dumbly and looked down at the thornless flower. It was red, lush and beautiful. It surprised him to no end he was being treated with such care and restraint. “Uhm… G-gloria?" he asked nervously to the giant reptilian demon.
She loomed over the desk again and smiled at him, batting her eyes. “Yes my little morsel?" She teased in a musical voice, making him shift nervously again. “A-are… Are all the circles like this?" he asked unsure of what to make of it all.
“Hmm… Josh right? Well Josh, all the realms are governed by the same overall rules… no touch without consent or pact… Of course if you're here for punishment well… those rules are different of course… But for the most part yeah… But other than gluttony, the other layers are not nearly as nice…" She said thoughtfully and sighed.
“Gluttony and Lust get along well enough though… and Gluttony and Greed get on well… I think it works the whole way down to be honest." she said tapping her chin thoughtfully. “Though I wouldn't know past Gluttony as I'm sure you can tell." She chuckled and patted her belly, making it wobble before sitting back and moving some papers around.
Josh was all rather taken aback by this… it was such a surreal and strange experience… he could certainly tell why they would want the trainee's like him to stick to limbo… a small sexless imp was nothing, but having this enormous reptile woman lumbering around naked could be a considerable problem.
Nodding at this, he would take a seat in one of the chairs, plenty of different sizes for plenty of different demons so it wasn't hard to find one that fit him. He took a moment to appreciate the surreal moment he was in then. Sitting in a waiting room at a vet's office, run by demons and the animals were primarily humans.
He didn't know whether to laugh at such a bizarre situation or just shake his head. He didn't have long enough to figure it out though as the door opened with a ring and in stepped an enormous, midnight blue furred demon, standing well over Josh… He was easily ten feet tall, muscular and thickly furred.
He smiled at Gloria, fangs clearly visible before his dark eyes turned to Josh, sitting nervously in his chair, turning to face him he would look over the small human and Josh was given a clearer view.
It was hard to resist the urge to get up and hug the huge male. Such luscious fur was almost irresistible, burying his body into it all and losing himself. Hanging between his legs was an enormous set of balls, a thick meaty sheath, every movement making it all sway a little, but it was all nestled neatly in a mass of pubic hair.
His hands were so enormous, it looked like his fingers could wrap around Josh, with sizable feet to match, the claws on his fingers and toes were long and, the fur covering them a slighter lighter blue.
His head was broad, almost wolf like in nature. If Josh hadn't known better, he would have been a werewolf… albeit, quite a bit broader and far bulkier… less agile and more… power. Fur sprouted from the top of his head, starting a mane that ran down past his shoulders in a semblance of hair, his dark green eyes darting and roving over Josh in turn, two pointed ears sprouting out, covered in the same lovely thick fur.
They seemed to be done looking over each other at the same time and his smile continued unabated. “Well hey there cutie… I do hope you're a stray I get to examine?" He said slowly, glancing back at Gloria who smiled just as broadly as he did at this point, but gave the slightest shake of her head. Josh was acutely aware of just how many sharp teeth these two shared.
“Well that's too bad… I would love to get my hands on you… You're just adorable… I suppose you're here by accident then?" He asked, his voice deep and soothing.
“U-uh… Y-yessir. I uhm… I meant to be in Limbo… I'm a first year student and uh…" He chuckled deeply, Josh's voice dying in his throat as he waved his hand beckoning Josh to come with him as he stepped down a hallway.
Josh would follow obediently, glancing over that firm rump in front of him, every inch of him seeming so wonderfully chiselled, though a tail did sprout from his waist, it was small and pointed, certainly not wolfish, like he had expected.
“It's quite alright. It's not unheard of, but it is pretty uncommon. I'll get you home. It might be a little uncomfortable though." He chuckled gently and glanced back. “Don't worry. Nothing too bad I promise… It just feels weird… Or so I've been told." He finished with a shrug and stepped into what had to be his examination room.
If Josh hadn't known any better, he would have thought he'd just stepped into a vet's room in the real world. A raised platform where animals could be examined, drawers and cupboards of medical equipment and devices… Though as he looked over it more, not one of them was meant to mend or heal… it all seemed to be invasive in one form or another… Thick looking thermometers, tongue depressants, even a speculum.
Turning to the human before him, he would bow a little, stooping his great form in a respectful gesture. “I'm sure others have told you by now, but a formal introduction is always nice. I am Rossland. I am destined to rule this particular patch of hell once my father Markus has chosen to retire from his current position… Though we currently both enjoy the arrangement we currently have so I doubt that will happen any time soon." He said with a warm chuckle and opened his hand gesturing for Josh's introduction.
“O-oh uh… My name is Josh… I am… Just a simple first year student… N-no family or… anything like that… even grew up without a real last name." He said rubbing the back of his head. Rossland smiled a little at that and shook his head a little.
“I don't think you're so simple Josh… It's quite a challenge to transfer to a realm past limbo physically, so to do so, even accidentally speaks of something special… Perhaps you hide a great deal of lust inside of you?" He leaned forwards slowly, head level with Josh's, almost close enough that they were touching. Josh could even smell his breath, heavy and thick, hot but enticing, like a beast ready to rut. “Maybe you would like to stay a little while and I could show you some of what we have to offer?"
Josh swallowed heavily, quivering in place like a leaf. The offer was certainly tempting, but he slowly shook his head. “N-no sir I should… I should get back… I probably have class soon…" He managed to gasp out softly. “Perhaps… N-next time?" He said nervously, certainly not out right dismissing the option… He was incredibly attractive… But this was all so very overwhelming.
Rossland chuckled deeply and would stand up slowly. “Hmm… I think that would be acceptable… I certainly expect you to be back sooner or later." With that, he would step towards Josh, his crotch perfectly level with the humans head and filling his nose with that powerful male musk. It was all Josh could do to keep from leaning forwards and burying his face into that thick jungle.
He had reached over top of Josh to pluck something out of the top cupboard and would set down a little box, taking a step back as he did so. He smiled to himself thoughtfully as he did so. He wanted this one bad… His father would adore him and he wanted to get him something nice but… He had to respect the little human and the fact he had resisted this far was impressive.
“So here is what is going to happen Josh." He said as he plucked out a card from the box and held it out to the human. “You are going to take my card here… Hold onto it. I know it will come in useful in several ways I'm sure." he said simply, watching as Josh's trembling hand took the card and held it nervously.
“Secondly, I will need to touch you for this to go through… It won't be painful, and it won't be sexual… at least if you don't want it to be." Rossland said with a playful wink, still trying to leave that door open. “So I will need your permission to do so. It'll probably leave you disoriented and perhaps sick… I've been told it's like a… whirly bird? A spin cycle? I'm not sure what they are… some sort of amusement ride I understand." He said with a shrug.
Josh shrugged a little sheepishly but gave a slow nod. “Alright I understand. Uhm… I guess… I just say it then?" He asked and Rossland nodded in return. “Okay… I give you permission to touch me to send me back home." He said firmly.
Rossland smiled toothily again. “Good choice of words. I wouldn't have taken advantage of you I promise, but always be careful what you say… not everyone is quite as nice." He said warmly and would rest one of those enormous hands on Josh's shoulder.
It was almost like being shocked, but it immediately dissipated, immediately followed by a wonderful warmth that spread from where Rossland touched him. The demon squeezed affectionately and nodded. “I do hope to see you again soon Josh… Perhaps this weekend? I would enjoy dinner with you?" He suggested. It was clear he was asking for a date… a surprise to say the least.
“I-I… Uh." Josh managed to gasp out breathlessly, stammering, only to yelp as Rossland took hold his legs and lifted him up, holding him between his hands like he was a plaything… Only to suddenly realizing he was shrinking! The two great hands were now pressing together and making him smaller and smaller with each passing moment. Soon he fit neatly in a palm but still they closed over him.
Just as it seemed like they would snap shut and crush him, there was a sudden lurch, feeling like he was being spun and incredible speeds, before with a sudden jarring jolt, he was back sitting on the floor of his apartment.
The contents of his stomach rumbled and sloshed inside his stomach as he immediately fell over, dizziness overtaking him. With a retch, he would half crawl, half stumble to the bathroom and what little was in his stomach, soon ended up in the toilet.
Panting and groaning softly, he would sit on the bathroom floor for a few moments and work on catching his breath. Shuddering he would look down at the card still in his hand and bring it up to look at it more closely. It simply said 'Rossland' the name in red, the rest of the card a jet black that seemed to be bottomless… it played tricks on his eyes looking at it and he shook his head a little as he sighed deeply getting lost in thought.
Flipping the card over a few times in his fingers he gave a soft sigh. He already knew the answer to the question rolling in his mind. It made his stomach flutter pleasantly with the thought, despite having just emptied it.
He had a date.
