The Misadventures of Mercurial (Whitebrand and Redfield)

[Whitebrand]

Mercurial and Brand's relationship was...complicated. They had met as prisoners in a mad lich's prison. In gratitude for her partly in freeing him, the silver dragon had "generously" offered to make her his slave. He had extended his offer to the other girls she had arrived in the labyrinth with. When they had finally escaped, he had made good on this promise.

The other girls had all been utterly entranced by him once he got them to this home, almost immediately becoming his personal harem...with a little "help" from this magical spells. Only Mercurial had been mostly unaffected.

Incredibly, the dragon saw nothing wrong with any of this.

The dragon had insisted that this spells would eventually work on the nineteen year old redhead, and that it would be a good thing. Indeed, the girl could feel the tug of attraction towards him slowly growing.

Brand seemed to be playing the long game, certain that she would fall under his spells sooner or layer. In the meantime he practically showered her with luxuries and privileges that she might never gave known back home. He even let her go out and explore the world, trusting that she would come back willingly.

He certainly loudly claimed he had strong feelings for her...but maybe he was just playing for time until his magic finally made her into one of his adoring slaves. Maybe.

He was very protective of her. He worried about her...or at least he acted like he did. It was hard to say for sure, especially when he kept enjoying the company of the other girls he had under his thrall.

At the moment, Mercurial had gone to the local market. Alone, seemingly. Brand had remained at home, giving her the freedom she frequently craved. It was quite a display of trust.

[Redfield]

Mercuriel smiled, it had been some time since she came to the world outside the labyrinth and things were going quite well. She had allowed her to grow, it now stretched down to below her shoulders and today was tied back in a pony tail. She had noticed her skin was a shade paler than it had been before, but that was nothing too concerning, her blue eyes remained as vibrant as ever.

The market was bustling with activity with many vendors in stalls lining the street and a pleasant aroma filled with many different spices. The nineteen year old sighed as she walked down the street a grin on her face, this otherworld market never failed to make her smile. Of course today like many days she was wearing her favourite outfit, a maid uniform, black with a couple of adjustments to fit her tastes. No head piece of course and no socks either allowing her slender legs to be on full display, plus a couple of extra pockets. A pair of sandals adorned her feet. In the past her looks and apparent 'servant' class had gotten her some unwanted advances and Brand had, had to step in but now she was capable of handling them on her own for the most part, thanks to a concealed dagger she kept on her body.

The nineteen year old took in the smell of the market, checking each stall carefully to find something she might enjoy, mostly some new flavour. She soon found herself munching on a slightly spicy kebab, it brought great delight to her taste buds. She walked down the street eagerly eating, so far this was quite the enjoyable day to her.

[Whitebrand]

As the girl in the maid-like costume searched for interesting things in the public market, something else followed unseen.

Few people tended to look up in their daily lives, so the entity was able to follow the girl by using the rooftops. It had caught Mercurial's scent and, very much aware of it's mistress's tastes, begun to follow the line girl. Sooner or later she was certain to make a mistake. Eventually she would find herself alone somewhere, isolated and unseen, and then the creature could fulfill it's orders: bring home tasty snacks for it's mistress.

[Redfield]

The young human stretched rolling her head, she found a nearby bin and tossed the kebab stick in the bin a grin on her face. She shook her head, turning to the side she noticed a long alleyway, on the other side were more stalls. It looked like the most direct route and the alley seemed fairly vacant, it wouldn't take long to get through with a quick jog. Seh grinned moving forward beginning to travel down the alleyway.

[Whitebrand]

The girl got almost halfway down the sheltered alley when something dropped down around her from above. For an instant she might have thought that she had been ambushed by the lamia, Mii. Mii was her frequent lover back in the dragon's home. The half-serpent girl was certainly not above affectionate ambushes, and they scaled coils closing in around her where certainly snake-like.

The coils tightened much more roughly than Mii would have been. Mercurial's armsxwere pinned and her breath was all but squeezed out of her. When she looked she did not see the female upper half of the lamia, but instead the pitiless stare of a huge snake.

[Redfield]

Mercuriel grunted, the wind taken out of her and when she tried to take another she found it to be quite difficult. Her attempts to scream were cut off by the thick coils around her. The snake was heavy and struggled only for a moment to stay on her feet before tumbled down onto the floor she kicked her legs and tried to move her arms to grab at her weapon but they were pinned tight and she had no such luck.

Mercuriel grunted looking up at the snake an annoyed look on her face.

[Whitebrand]

The snake looked unimpressed with her annoyed glare. Instead the coils slithered around Mercurial's body, getting a better grip. The head bobbed towards Mercurial's angry face, its tongue flicking.

The mouth opened in a flash and the head shot forward. Mercurial had been eaten by Brand once before and he had been gentle. This snake did not seen to care about her comfort. Its jaw unhinged and its throat opened to take in the helpless maid.

[Redfield]

Mercuriel squirmed as the coils shifted, in a way they reminded her of Mii, but these were distinctly less pleasant and less comfortable. The human squirmed looking up as the snake's jaws approached her head, she could see down it's throat and feel it's breathe upon her skin. The human kicked her legs weakly as her head slid easily into the predatory reptilian's mouth.

[Whitebrand]

The snake flesh closed around Mercurial immediately. The giant snake forced its head down over the girl's shoulders. There was nothing gentle about them creature. The snake's muscular flesh rippled and stretched to take in its trapped prey. Mercurial could barely breathe, the strong body of the snake pressing on in her from all sides. Soon her entire upper half was engulfed in constrictive darkness.

[Redfield]

Mercuriel gagged, doing her best to maintain her air as she slid down the snake's throat. Her breasts were tightly pressed by the constricting flesh and her legs only kicked weaker the more of her that made there way into the stomach. The human squirmed, her hands clenched into fists a brief look of panic flashing across her face, though she felt more annoyed than anything at that moment.

[Whitebrand]

The trapped maid was forced down the serpentine throat, and she could barely make out a sweating pale face in the tunnel ahead of her. The sweet-faced young woman had hair and skin that were both as white as chalk. Her expression was pained and astonished as she saw Mercurial come into view.

The poor thing could barely draw breath, let alone speak. Mercurial could see her trying to say something, but could only manage to squeak.

Around them the body of the serpent began to move, climbing back up to the rooftops above the deadly alley.

[Redfield]

Mercuriel met the gaze of the woman and smiled at least she would have company within, that was something still she didn't hope to stay in long. The snake's body pressed tightly around her and she could barely move, the serpent's own movements didn't help that. The nineteen year old squirmed, her hands moving to try and get to her hidden weapon but she was having a hard time moving her body and began to realise that even if she got her blade it might be quite useless.

She looked up the woman "h....hello" she stated but it came out quite muffled.

[Whitebrand]

The girl tried to speak again but the breath was squeezed out of her as they snake made a turn somewhere.

Mercurial found herself mere inches from the poor girl's face. Her eyes had not deceived her: the girl's skin and hair was as white as paper. The only color was her own bright blue eyes, that matched Mercurial's.

"Do you...think...it will...eat any....more?" The girl whimpered.

Given the circumstances, the question was probably understandable.

[Redfield]

"Hope not....Already....too tight" Mercuriel states squirming a little, looking into the girl's eyes she found herself blushing a little. Sometimes the flesh would ripple and she could just barely see past the girl's head. It looked like she wearing some kind of metal collar or the lack of light was playing tricks on her, either way it didn't matter right then. Mercuriel smiled wriggling a little, she sighed they were so close to each other the tip's of their noses rubbed up against one another.

[Whitebrand]

"I'm scared," the girl said in a small voice. "I don't want to die. I'm only a slave but I don't want to die."

The serpent turned again. It felt like it was climbing up or down something. Mercurial couldn't be sure. She could feel the cloth of her clothing starting to shred at the seams.

[Redfield]

Mercuriel wanted to comfort the girl but the snake's movements distracted her 'my maid outfit....oh not again' she thought to herself as the seems began to tear. The young human very weakly kicked her legs and gave the slave girl a small smile "it....It's ok just....try not to panic too much"

[Whitebrand]

The girl gave Mercurial an incredulous look. Not panic? In the belly of a snake? Nevertheless she nodded.

It seemed to take forever before the snake finally stopped. There was a pause before suddenly the pressure returned...but now both girls were being pushed forward. In a few long moments, Mercurial felt coolness on her feet and legs.

First Mercurial, then the slave girl were spat out by the giant snake. Both were naked and covered with slime. The only thing the pale girl had on was a metal collar around her neck. Mercurial's clothing was little more than scraps of cloth clinging to her wet body.

[Redfield]

'Aw man, good thing I have spares at Ho....Brand's place' Mercuriel thought to herself seeing the tattered remains of her clothes, she pouted a little and tugged at the scraps they easily tore away, leaving her as naked as the slave girl. The nineteen year old shivered though shaking her head annoyed at the feel of the slime on her body, then her attention turned to the slave girl.

Her eyes looked the girl over she was quite beautiful and she couldn't help but notice she had all the right curves. Mercuriel grinned looking at the metal collar on her neck, she noticed a golden loop on it, no doubt for a leash or if she needed to be chained up. Mercuriel reached forward and playfully flicked it, momentarily forgetting to check there surroundings.

The young human grinned, noticing the slave's pointed ears and the thought crossed her mind that she might be an elf. She reached forward cupping the girl's chin and making her look up at Mercuriel.

"So, Slave girl.....Can I keep you for myself?"

[Whitebrand]

The half-elven girl's lips trembled.

"M-my master fed me to th-the snake," she said in a shaking voice. "In exchange for her life. If...if you want me..."

"Oh she won't have time to be claiming you," a sultry female voice said from the shadows of the warehouse the girls were in the middle of. "Your mistress gave you to me first, you see. The girl here is just a bonus snack. Nothing more."

From among the lonely crates a woman appeared. She was wearing gemstones on her skin, emphasizing the parts of her body that were usually covered. Only shadows contributed any modesty to her. Her skin was a deep purple and her outrageously long hair was blue. She had a set of four horns on her forehead, two of which were particularly long that swept back over her head. A pair of batlike wings were attached to the back of her hips, and a long tail moved about behind her.

Beyond here was an altar that looked like it had been thrown together from scrap that was covered with Abyssal runes.

"So," the woman's said as she approached Mercurial, walking like a model on a catwalk. "A new slave and some inattentive idiot's maid. A very nice present you've bought me, Anubis."

The woman caressed Mercurial's cheek and ran her fingers down the redhead's neck and shoulder. She had the same fiery lust in her eyes that Brand had when he looked at Mercurial on her maid costume.

The pale Half-elf cowered away from the succubus. She clearly knew something Mercurial didn't.

[Redfield]

A shiver ran down Mercuriel's spine at the woman's touch, this strange beauty was dangerous she was sure of that. The human remained on her position on the floor, glancing to the half-elf slave out the corner of her eye. Her instinct was to go for her weapon but it seemed to be missing at that moment, she shivered a little at the cold looking up at the sultry woman.

Mercuriel's hands clenched into fists and they came to rest on her knees, an involuntary blush was spread across her cheeks "who are you?" she asked not daring to take her eyes off the strange beauty before her.
