Opening Toast
Story by TikTikKobold on SoFurry
The Anteronian Ball was meant to be a big collaboration between me and any other creators who wanted to work on it, but due to some issues on my end, I never got to finish. This chapter was a sort of introduction to the story to explain where and how Tik Tik got involved, and serves as another introduction. THe previous one was meant to get people to understand what the ball IS, but this is more about actually starting the story.
The Adventures of Tik Tik," is a fantasy erotica series starring a kobold woman seeking to learn more about the sexual nature of different cultures and creatures of the fantasy world she lives in. In this series, I like to delve into interesting characters and mix storytelling, character analysis, and sexy scenes to make an interesting read for all involved, and its all made possible by the support of my generous patrons. If you'd like to see more Tik Tik, please consider funding me at any level. Different tiers grant you more content and more input on the creation process of these stories, but I'm always looking for feedback on my work, so please, also consider joining my discord server.

From the Journal of Tik Tik:
The Aldevan Estate sits in the noble's district of the cosmopolitan city of Anteronia. The line to approach the festivities wraps around the grand fence that surrounds the estate, interrupting the usually quiet neighborhood with the buzz of celebration. While it is, in fact, a city residence, the magic that spreads throughout the place allows those who enter with the proper attire to be transported to the grand ballroom of the Aldevan country home. No expense was left out to allow people to party to their body's content.
There are many costumes, ranging from the most lavish to the barest, with nudists making idle conversation and dance with people in elaborate wear. One fashionable outfit it seems is that of the Dark Sorceress Estrasa. Tales of her bid for power seem to have gone quite far, indeed. And while it is strange to see many masked figures draped in the black cloaks, I do not let it bother me. After all, I have a mission: I must find Lady Aldevan if I'm going to be a free kobold, unbound to this annoying demon hovering over me.
I am not alone, as I have brought my traveling companions with me as well. Though they come for my aid, there are some who no doubt wish to partake in the festivities. I don't blame them. Hopefully, I can get a few fun things in before I leave—after I'm free of my demon, that is.
A bell rings, and all of the guests stop their chatter before turning towards the grand balcony. There, standing in a full-face mask, is what appears to be a young man. His light green hair is tied back in a ponytail. He dresses in the armor of a knight of love, something that my companion Tybalt balked at as the man approached. He's quite a bit more muscular than Tybalt, showing off that despite being a noble, he does not neglect his own body.
Raising his hands, the noble speaks. “Welcome, welcome, one and all. I hope you enjoy this party of anonymity and pleasure, all day and all night, we shall wine and dine and be merry. Winter's cold embrace makes life seem but a passing flicker. Still, we are here to prove that we are, in fact, alive, and that life will continue even in the face of any personal shortcomings. The masks you wear mean you have no prior prejudices. Each of us is equal, peasant and aristocrat, human and not. So, discover new things about yourself. Spread the joy of dance and intellect and intimacy, for if we do not share, then we shall surely freeze in the winter's harsh embrace."
With that, he grabs a glass from a serving girl dressed up like a bunny and holds it up in the air. “To life, to love, and to excitement!"
“Here, here!" shouted the guests, and almost immediately, large swaths of the dancers break off into pairs, heading off to other rooms of the estate.
