Lady Athelis, the representative for Drey Flesh in the Consumptive Assembly darted though the halls of her manor home, moving faster than the human eye could follow. A quick stop in the holding cell, and the inferno raced out into the expansive gardens behind her home where her harem of blubbers lounged in the sun, eating the food that was brought to them by an army of servants.

Blubbers, humans modified with alchemy to grow to incredible height and even more dramatic girth, and nourished by the sun as well as food, were the favored prey of the lithe, swift inferno species, as they burned though millions of calories a day. Thanks to the waste of its inferno rulers, which is an incredibly potent fertilizer, the Republic of Gliorus produced more food than any other nation in Lustria, but it came at a price, that being a tithe of a dozen commoners for each representative, plus another three for every other inferno in their household, delivered once a month at the full moon.

Those who were chosen - usually by lottery, though in some provinces the representatives select their tithe personally - lived a life of luxury for the next year, sunbathing in the garden of the inferno they are promised to while undergoing daily massages and being treated to an endless buffet of the most decadent foods imaginable - often including such delicacies as dairy fairy cream laced with honey and plump geese drowned in firebrandy imported from the dragonlands - as they grew taller and gained weight. However, when a year was up, they would be consumed by that inferno. Also, when they were chosen, they were required to cut all ties with their former life.

Tatty had been selected in the lottery two months ago, and she had been having trouble with that last part. Born and raised in the city of Drey Flesh proper, rather than the surrounding farmlands and towns that form the rest of Drey Flesh province, Tatty had been a mere four months from marriage before her number came up in the tithe. And, she was very much in love with Neal, her betrothed. After Tatty was taken to Lady Athelis’s estate in the center of the city, Neal took to regularly sneaking into the garden to see her. Though by now she was several times his height, and had completely lost her figure, they would just sit and talk. It was her greatest pleasure, far better than any of the benefits that came with being chosen. However, today, he was running late. Though too heavy to jump, Tatty’s body jerked upon seeing the cloud of dust that proceeded an inferno moving at full speed outside bear down upon her.

Lady Athelis came to a halt in front of Tatty. When the dust cleared, it was revealed that she was not alone. She held Neal by the arm, his feet and legs scraped up through his clothes by being dragged along at breakneck speeds, as was the palm of his free hand where he’d used it to break a fall. While he was fully clothed, the inferno was completely nude, a common state for infernos in their own homes. Tatty herself was also nude save for some flowers woven into her pinned up hair, put there by one of the servants that tended to Athelis’s blubbers. Nudity was required for blubbers, necessary to expose maximum chlorophyll-infused skin to the sun, which in turn helped maximize nourishment.

“Look-who-the-guards-found-trying-to-sneak-in,” Lady Athelis said, her words blurring together the way an inferno’s speech always did to the ears of other races. “I-know-he’s-been-visiting-you. He’s-a-distraction-thats-why-you’ve-fallen-behind-the-other-two-month-blubbers. A-blubber-needs-to-be-fully-focused-on-eating-and-gaining. That’s-why-you’re-supposed-to-have-no-contact-with-anyone-you-knew-before. I-held-off-on-eating-him-so-you-could-watch-me-mulch-him. You-need-to-know-it’s-your-fault! Skinny-guy-like-him-I’ll-start-shitting-out-his-feet-before-his-head-enters-my-mouth. He’ll-see-himself-shooting-out-my-ass. Say-good-bye-to-your-lover-boy!”

Lady Athelis took only the briefest of pauses after making that speech before pushing Neal to the ground and lifting his feet to her lips. “Please, don’t do this!” Tatty said, her eyes brimming with tears as she struggled against her own body weight to sit up and reach him.

By way of reply, Lady Athelis just wrapped her mouth around Neal’s feet, and started swallowing. Though she allowed him to slip down her throat at what was for an inferno a leisurely pace, it just took seconds for his feet to enter her stomach. Though until that point the man had been silent, possibly suffering from shock, as soon as the concentrated digestive juices made contact with his skin, a scream ripped its way out of his throat. Unmoved by his pain, Athelis continued swallowing at a steady pace, her acids and enzymes burning through Neal’s flesh and bones within seconds of exposure, after which her body began to pump the resulting chyme through her intestines at an incredible rate.

True to her word, Neal was barely halfway swallowed before the first log snaked its way out of the tight pucker under Lady Athelis’s two tails to plop onto the grass. Neal gave a particularly anguished cry as he glimpsed this from the corner of his eye, though he was in too much pain to say anything intelligible. Tatty sobbed, yelling, “Nooooooooo!” Though it was far too late to save Neal, she couldn’t help it.

As Athelis gulped down her prey’s torso, the pile of shit behind her continued to grow, the scent of it wafting through the air enough to make the closest blubbers stop in their eating for the time being. Athelis, on the other hand, was actually turned on, the inferno’s cock rising to bump against the curve of her abdomen. Not wanting to waste an orgasm, as an inferno’s calorie-rich semen was an excellent food for growing blubbers, she swallowed the rest of Neal in one quick slurp. He gave one last spasm in her belly as a cacophony of gurgles put him out of his misery. A mere ten seconds later, she shat out the last of his remains, forming a knee-high pile of crap. With a clap of her hands, Lady Athelis summoned a servant, who, knowing what would be expected, cleaned off the inferno’s ass with a rag. While she waited for that job to be completed, Athelis said, “When-you’re-done-with-that-have-the-rest-of-my-shit-added-to-the-fertilizer-stores. Just-because-I-used-him-to-make-an-example-doesn’t-mean-what’s-left-of-him-should-be-wasted.”

Finished with the task of wiping her lady, the servant nodded and bowed before heading off to grab a shovel. That taken care of, Lady Athelis turned her gaze back to Tatty. “Getting rid of your distraction got me all horny, so you can help me take care of that and get started on catching up to your tithe-mates in weight by giving me a blow job.”

Before Tatty could say a word, the inferno ran up the slope of her bulk to shove her large, throbbing shaft into Tatty’s mouth, ramming it as far into the blubber’s throat as it could reach. As she aggressively fucked Tatty’s face, Lady Athelis moaned. “It’s-triple-portions-of-food-for-you-from-now-on-by-the-way. You-may-have-gotten-a-slow-start-but-come-your-month-of-harvest-I-want-you-to-be-a-truly-magnificent-blob-of-fat.”

The winner of last month's poll. Tried something different this time around mixing some exposition in with the narrative of a short story. However, I still have a few other things I want to note that I couldn't work into the above text. Infernos, named for the way their metabolism races with the intensity of a fire, as well as the appearance of their typically multi-toned hair, which is wiry and naturally stands upright in a flame-like shape, are the ruling elite of the country Gliorus. Unlike most of the other nations in my setting of Lustria, the Gliorus has no single, immortal, semi-divine ruler, like Queen Tittiana in Lactyne and Empress Cockatrix in the Phallasi Empire. Rather, it is a hereditary republic ruled by the Consumptive Assembly, a council of dozens of infernos representing the various regions of their land. Individually, infernos are generally more powerful than the "noble" races of those other lands, which bridges the power gap caused by a lack of a divine ruler. However, something they do have in common with the other Lustrian races we've seen before (but not a couple of others that I've yet to reveal) is that all infernos are functional hermaphrodites.
