Furina walked back and forth nervously in her office, she had been tired and accidentally accepted an interview with the steambird. She didn't want to do this, what if she answered wrongly and her secret would be out for all to see. Worst part was that the interview was today, she couldn't imagine a more horrible situation
 
“Aaaaugh, why did I accept this, I should've slept more”
 
*Knock* *Knock*
 
“AAAAAH… *Ahem* I mean, you may enter”
 
Quickly putting on the facade she had been putting on for the last 500 years she sat down at the table in her office, when the door opened and the pink haired journalist entered, Furina motioned to the chair, she wanted this to be over as soon as possible
 
“First of all I want to thank you so very much for this opportunity lady Furina, this is definitely going to the front pages”
 
“Well of course it will, you ARE interviewing the hydro archon after all, it would surprise me more if it didn't get to the front pages”
 
The interview went pretty decently, Furina with her years of experience of lying and putting on an act was able to answer all the questions perfectly with little hesitation, the article would be about her life which to be honest made Furina quite nervous, now there would be even more details about herself she would have to remember.
 
“OK, now for the final question-”
 
‘Finally, soon this will be over, I think I'm gonna have some cake afterwards. Aaah, pretending to be an archon can be so tiring’
 
“-What do you think of the prophecy is it rea… wait what did you say”
 
Furina felt like her lungs stopped functioning, s-she didn't say that out loud… did she, one look at Charlotte confirmed that she heard that, and quite clearly as well if the look of shock was anything to go by
 
“Wait wait wait, if you aren't our archon then who are you… wait who is-”
 
Ok this was really bad, if this ever got out all the years of this charade would have been meaningless, all her pain would have meant nothing, what should she do, she needs to get rid of her, she didn't like doing this, it had been close to 100 years since last time she did this but it seems like she has no choice.
 
Lost in her own confusion at the situation, Charlotte didn't notice Furina had sat up and now stood behind her, she didn't notice until her arms were held to her side in a constraining manner.
 
“H-huh, what are you doing lady Furina”
 
“I have been doing this for close to 500 years now, I won't let you ruin this”
 
*Gulp*
 
Charlotte's head was enveloped by lady Furina's mouth, the moist cavern covered her face with spit, Charlotte tried to activate her vision as to at least do some damage to Furina so she can escape, but to her surprise nothing happened, in fact she couldn't feel her vision at all.
 
‘I am so glad I removed it beforehand, getting frozen would not be very fun right now’
 
*Glrrk* *Gluulk*
 
“No wait release me, I won't tell anyone, just please let me go”
 
Furina didn't want to take the risk, she continued to swallow down the pink haired girl, her head stretched out the esophagus to create a big round bulge on Furina's throat, the legs of Charlotte were kicking in panic and hope that it would make it harder for Furina, which it actually did
 
‘Ouch ouch ouch, it always hurts when they go down, why can't they be more considerate and slide down easier’
 
*Gluuurrk*
 
In annoyance Furina pinched Charlotte's legs and did an extra strong gulp to get the journalist further down, the sooner she got turned into mush the sooner Furina would feel safer, the pleas of Charlotte went further ignored.
 
‘Ok Furina, you can do this, just a few more gulps and you're in the clear’
 
*Glulp* *Gulp*
 
Charlotte's pleas turned into shrieks, high pitched that vibrated throughout Furina's body in a pleasant manner, sure it was loud and annoying but at the same time kinda pleasurable,
 
“Oh archons it smells, please just let me go, I'll even move to another nation”
 
‘Pffft, why would she ever do that when Charlotte is so close to staying silent forever’
 
*Guuuulp* *Uuulp*
 
The final two gulps were swift, the legs slithered down the throat like noodles, Furina traced the bulge all the way down until her fingers rested on her belly, much larger now that her meal had entered it.
 
*UUUUUURLLP*
 
“Uugh, ignoring that. As the hydro archon of the nation of Fontaine, I hereby sentence you with the death penalty, effective immediately”
 
“I-I'll get out of here, and when I do I am going to expose you, you won't be the hydro archon, you will be just a monst-”
 
Furina hit the top of her belly to shut the journalist up, grinding her knuckles on her soft stomach.
 
“Just shut up, food isn't supposed to talk”
 
Furina waddled over to her chair and sat down, the chair creaked a bit from the added weight of her prey but it miraculously didn't give in.
 
“Let's see, the next thing if importance I have is in… 2 hours so I have plenty of time to melt you down”
 
Muffled screams could be heard and punches and kicks could be felt, they weren't very strong but Furina wasn't particularly strong either so she felt each and every punch
 
“Oooph, stop that, there is no way for you out, so just accept this sentence already”
 
Furina hugged her belly tightly and while it may not crush her prey so early into digestion, it caused Charlotte pain and for gas to bubble up
 
*UUUUUUUURR- *Aaaaggh* -RRRRRP*
 
Furina's face turned smug, she always felt so powerful with a prey in her belly, she rubbed her hands all over it to not only aid digestion but to feel every irregular lump that was Charlotte.
 
Time was spent for the next hour with Furina relaxing, teasing and taunting her prey some times but otherwise she just enjoyed the sound of digesting, and watching how the struggles became less and less. As well as her stomach shrinking
 
“*Sigh* They never last long enough, well I was running on a schedule today so I guess it wasn't that bad, hmmph, she should feel honored to be part of me”
 
Furina was about to leave her office, her stomach was small enough that people wouldn't be looking now, but when she reached for the door handle her lower region signaled her that this wasn't finished
 
“Uugh, R-really, why do they need to go through me so fast, can't I enjoy anything”
 
Furina headed over another door that lead to her own personal bathroom
 
*Scat Warning*
 
Furina sat her bum that now felt a bit softer down on her own personal toilet, this was always the moment she hated the most, it may have been 100 years since she ate her last prey but she can still remember the bone fragments painfully sliding out.
 
“*Hnnng* And now for the finale of this death sentance”
 
Logs of brown matter slided out of lady Furina's ass, landing in the toilet waters below and coiling around. Pink hairs were scattered around along with some tiny bone fragments
 
“*Hrrrg* T-this isn't as bad as I remem- ouch, ok *Hrrrng* there it is, this isn't gonna be fun”
 
Bigger bone fragments started exiting her, sometimes it was a whole bone like a rib, those times were extremely hard for Furina but still she continued to push. She had to flush once before continuing.
 
“Oowie, why *Hnnnrg* can't you be easier on your poor archon”
 
Furina gripped the edge of the toilet to start pushing extra hard once the logs turned more solid, she wanted this done with already but it was getting harder to do so
 
“*Hnng* Your archon order's you *Hrrrnh* g-get out already”
 
That extra push was all that was needed to push through, she spent the next 5 minutes like this all while grunting and complaining
 
*Flussssh*
 
Once Furina was done she flushed, wiped herself and left without saying another word, what was there to say to which was already flushed away, Furina would forget about this in a couple years either way.
 
*Later that day*
 
*OOOUUUURRRP*
 
“So Clorinde, who was the unlucky fellow who ended up in your stomach this time”
 
Furina stood with her arms crossed, after today she didn't wanna deal with anymore preds or preys, she may have enjoyed this partially but she was exhausted
 
“There was this creep hiding under your bed lady Furina, I ate him to ensure your safety”
 
Ugh, another creep, she has to admit that this is the first one who hid under her bed tho
 
“Good job Clorinde, as to be expected by my bodyguard, keep watch outside my door”
 
“Yes lady Furina”
