Squire Chapter 1
Story by Nefrette on SoFurry
Let me Know if you want this continued.
In the land of knights and dragons, the kingdom of ember was in grave danger. A dragon had kidnapped the princess and took the princess to its castle. The act sent the kingdom into panic. The kingdom was only inhabited by humans; what a dragon would want with the princess was beyond anyone’s imagination. The queen had called forward every and all available knights to save the princess. Unfortunately, none of the many knights that were sent was able to get to the princess. The majority that went fell to the dragon. The few that survived were too cowardly to pursue the princess, despite the reward being one to marry and be included into the royal family.
“Shall we give this up, M’lady? I hate to give up hope, but we have no one that can save the princess,” a squire, who tends to her at a call, spoke up. She knew it was not his place to speak so negative of the situation, but the thought that none of the knights of the kingdom were able to best the dragon made her falter in her trust.
“Not yet. I have one more trick up my sleeve. I had hoped I did not need to use this, but it seems that there is no other choice,” the queen said as she took out a quill. This quill was special as it radiated pure energy. “I’ll have to call in a favor from an old friend. If she cannot do it, then our kingdom is lost. Since you will be the only outsider to have seen her in person, I’d advise you to keep quiet.” The queen got up. She made the motion for the squire to follow her into her bed chambers.
“M’lady!” the squire spoke out as the squire was embarrassed. Only the king was allowed inside of her bed chambers.
“Quiet.” The queen said, hushing the squire. The chambers were decorated with multicolored candles, a queen sized bed big enough for two, and a rug that covered part of the ground. She removed the rug to reveal a huge circle that was filled with strange rune markings. She pricked her hand with the quill and used the blood to write an incantation. The circle glowed with a purple hue that soon after began to pulse. Within moments a figure appeared. It was feminine in appearance, but showed off an aggressive nature. She was not a human either. She was a hyena, a massive one at that.
“Oi. The fuck did you summon me for, Roxanne?” she spoke towards the queen.
“I request a favor from you,” the queen responded.
“Now? I was about to bed me a cutie,” she said sighing. “What is the favor?”
“My daughter has been captured and held hostage by a dragon. None of my knights can save her.
You were my last resort,” the queen said, sounding defeated. This made the hyena laugh.
“Really? None of them?”
“Yes.”
“What about the pipsqueak over here?” She said pointing to the squire.
“She’s only a trainee.” The hyena pondered for a bit.
“Are you sure you have no one that can best the dragon?”
“Afraid so.”
“You do know the toll it takes on your body to summon me, right?” Ziggs said as within moments the queen’s body began to darken until her body was completely shaded by the taint. This made
Ziggs raise an eyebrow. This was not ordinary tainting. This tainting only comes if one has summoned many demons.
“M’lady!” the squire said reaching out to touch her. Ziggs stopped her immediately.
“Do not touch her. You will catch her plague.” Ziggs said as her body was completely taken over. Afterwards the queen began to speak.
“Oh dear, I forgot to purify myself.” She said in a way that was obvious to Ziggs. She was lying.
“Roxanne, why did you let yourself get this tainted?” Ziggs asked. She knew that this level was far too dangerous for people like the squire to be in contact with.
“Thirteen tries...” She began as both the Squire and Ziggs watch her closely. “Finally after thirteen tries I get to see you one last time.”
“Focus.” She said. “Why did you allow yourself to be this tainted.”
“Because I had no other choice silly. How else would I save my daughter if I did not call forward powerful demons?” She said as her speech became less and less refine. Slowly her body fell more and more down toward the levels of a succubus. This saddened Ziggs a little.
“You risked it all to save your daughter. She must be that special.”
“Of course. I would have not threw my life away otherwise,” she said as her transformation was nearly complete. The squire began to nearly cry at the sight of her queen becoming a succubus.
“You remind me of myself.” she said as the last of the queen’s humanity slipped away, becoming nothing but an object of lust. Afterward the room fell silent as not one word was spoke. Ziggs watched the former queen molest herself, while trying to attract both the squire and Ziggs.
“Won’t you come play with me? It’s so lonely by myself.”
Ziggs looked over to the squire. “You. What is your name?”
The squire nervously responded. “S-Sarafrine Whitegold.” This made Ziggs smile.
“You will help me honor the wishes of the former queen. It’s been many years since I have traversed this land. Inform the castle that the queen has succumbed to heartache. She had called in one last favor from an old friend to rescue the princess and that you are to accompany them. Meet me in the Forest of the Enchanted in two hours.” Ziggs said as she poised one of her hands. She then used said hand to tear open a portal. To where it goes is unknown to everyone but
Ziggs. This freaked out Sarafrine.
“W-what is that?”
“Do not worry about this or me. Also clean these Runes up; don’t want people to know she was a demon summoner, right?” The squire slowly nodded. Ziggs got up and carried the succubus through the portal. It closed behind her.
Sarafrine went to work cleaning up the runes.
