"Does this feel good?" whispered the seductive voice within Relm's right ear.

The young girl moaned in the affirmative as long, glistening tentacles caressed her just budding breasts and squeezed around her slim thighs. Relm leaned back against the slimy grey torso of her lover, yet another tentacle tenderly entwining around her graceful neck. The naked girl quivered when the immense creature slowly inserted a tendril into her virgin pussy, the probe slithering around the interior of her vagina, rubbing the aroused, moist, pink walls of her fuck tunnel.

"Umm, feels good," purred Relm, pressing her small hands back against her lover's hot flesh, her fingers sinking into his bloated body.

"I want you, all of you," murmured the creature, wrapping two massive arms around Relm's narrow waist, pushing her deeply into his yielding body. Relm sighed as her legs, hips, and stomach disappeared inside of her lover, the tip of the tendril around her neck rubbing against her soft lips.

"I want you."

Relm shot up from her narrow bed, panting loudly for breath. She ran a hand through her short brown hair, the strands slick with nervous sweat. The young girl flapped her thin night shift against her sticky skin, trying to cool her burning flesh. She threw back the thin white sheet covering her, rising from her bed to walk towards the window in her bedroom. Relm opened the glass, letting the cool, clean air of the ocean wash over her body. She looked out at the black churning water, the sea illuminated by an endless expanse of glittering stars. Glancing back at her sweat soaked bed, Relm took a dark green robe from a nearby chair, pulling it on while she left her room for the more pleasant surroundings of the ocean side.

"It's amazing," observed Terra with awe as Relm painted a small cardinal on a short canvas. The two young women sat outside Relm's cottage, Terra watching while Relm practiced her unique form of magic. Adding a final touch of red to one of the cardinal's scarlet wings, Relm blew softly on the canvas, summoning the magic that resided expectantly inside her. The cardinal began to glow with a soft ruby light. Slowly the bird started flapping its wings, moving faster and faster until it sprang from the canvas, chirping happily as it rose into the clear blue sky. Terra stared at the departing cardinal until it finally disappeared from sight.

"Even after watching you do that all morning, I still can't believe it," smiled Terra, her long green hair blowing in the gentle ocean breeze.

"Want me to do it again?" asked Relm with a grin of her own.

"Are you tired yet?"

"No, small summonings like that aren't very difficult, it's the larger creations that can really drain me."

"Make a squirrel," giggled Terra.

After painting all day, the two friends now sat in the living room of Relm's small cottage, eating miso soup and drinking cups of spring wine that Relm saved for special occasions. Relm listened carefully while Terra relayed events occurring in Esperville. A sharp barking interrupted Terra's discourse, coming from just outside the front door.

"Interceptor?" murmured Relm, rising from her soft chair to investigate the noise.

Relm quickly opened the door, to find a lean black Doberman looking up into her astonished eyes.

"Interceptor!" exclaimed Relm happily, crouching down to hug the dog's neck affectionately.

"Nice to see you again, Shadow," greeted Terra, standing behind Relm and nodding at the silent ninja waiting in the darkness.

"Greetings to you as well, Terra," replied Shadow, bowing at the waist respectfully.

"Come inside. Relm has a nice bottle of spring wine open."

Shadow slipped past Relm and Interceptor, who was licking the girl's laughing face with enthusiasm.

"He only shows affection for Relm. It still confuses me," remarked Shadow as he took a seat facing Terra, pulling off his Dark Hood to ruffle his short black hair.

"They always were close," said Terra, filling a cup for the ninja before pressing it into his gloved hands.

"Yes. What brings you to Thamasa?"

"Since things were quiet in Esperville, I wanted to take some time to study Relm's sketching ability. She's the only magically talented person I've come across who can create life with her paintings. It's a very rare talent, hopefully something I can learn and preserve. In my homeland, such magic is forbidden. Dark creatures have used such practitioners to break into our reality."

"How?"

"They haunt the artist's dreams, seducing her until the artist draws them and allows them entry into the world."

"Hmm. I better warn Relm about that. She's still young and inexperienced with the dangers of magic."

"Wise," agreed Shadow, sipping lightly from his cup.

Relm lay on her back, her right hand pressed against her pussy, rubbing it as her lover caressed her within her dreams. The young girl pulled up her thin shift, fondling her own right breast, caressing her nipple between two small fingers. She moaned softly, licking her moist lips, panting in low tones while her fingers dipped into her wet cunt, stroking, exciting.

Interceptor raised his ears, sitting up at the sound of Relm's soft cries. He hopped up onto the bed, tilting his head as he watched Relm fondle her glistening cunt. Opening his mouth to wag his tongue, Interceptor moved between Relm's outspread legs, laying down on all fours with his muzzle next to Relm's musky pussy. Interceptor licked his wide tongue around Relm's thrusting fingers, lapping up the lips of the girl's labia. Relm groaned loudly with pleasure, squeezing her engorged clit while Interceptor licked her dripping cunt. The naked girl arched her back, spreading her thighs even wider, her pussy gaping in invitation. Interceptor buried his muzzle inside Relm's pussy, sucking out her honey ravenously. Relm placed her cum wet fingers on top of the dog's head, pressing his snout deeper into her slit. Relm panted heavily, her hips rocking while Interceptor probed her uterus with his agile tongue. Relm shuddered, orgasming, covering Interceptor's muzzle with her flowing juices. The dog licked up all of Relm's cum, devouring all of her honey inside her vagina as well as what escaped to cling to her warm inner thighs.

In her mind, Relm's lover turned her onto her stomach, caressing her small, firm buttocks.

On her bed, the naked girl emulated her dream self, rolling across the disheveled sheets onto her flat belly. Interceptor sniffed Relm's luscious ass, licking the right cheek, relishing the taste of her creamy flesh. The dog crawled onto Relm's small body, pressing his front paws against the back of her shoulders as he pressed his stiff cock into the girl's moist cunt. Relm groaned into her pillow, her thighs limp while Interceptor started pumping back and forth inside her pussy, his shaft driving deep into her stomach. The dog heaved energetically into his prone bitch, slamming his crotch against the young girl's ass, his long torso rubbing over Relm's bare back. Relm's face gleamed with sweat, she bit her lip to stifle her screams of ecstasy. With one violent thrust, both lovers climaxed together, Relm's juices mixing with Interceptor's canine cream.

Interceptor relaxed on top of Relm, licking her left ear affectionately, then laying his head upon her warm neck. Relm hummed with bliss, smiling with satisfaction, covered in the warmth of her beloved.

====

The sun was just warming the calm waters of the sea when Terra emerged from the cottage dressed in a cool thigh-length shift and boots. She hefted her sheathed sword over her left shoulder as she walked to the cliff edge where Shadow performed his morning exercises. Terra watched appreciatively while Shadow moved slowly through a series of arm and leg stretches dressed as always in his midnight black Ninja Gear.

"Ready for some real exercise?" asked Terra, her eyes shining with mischief.

"What kind?" retorted Shadow, halting his stretches to place hands on hips.

"This kind," said Terra, unsheathing her dark blade, Soul Sabre, and crouching into a defensive pose.

"Very well," nodded Shadow gravely, reaching behind his back to draw his long Thief Knife. Holding the gleaming blade at chest level, Shadow began circling Terra, searching her figure for an opening.

Relm awoke with a groan, her face buried in her pillow. She rolled into a sitting position, noticing the moisture still drying between her legs. She leaned down to sniff the stained sheets, her eyes widening in shock. Relm crawled to the foot of the bed, looking down to find Interceptor innocently sleeping with front paws under chin. Raising an eyebrow skeptically, Relm hopped off her bed, going to the bathroom to clean herself up. Relm put on a green tunic with light brown leggings, covering her small feet with soft leather shoes. She tucked her brown hair into a red beret before gathering her painting supplies and walking to her studio. Relm arranged her paints and brushes, setting a mid-sized canvas on a stand in front of a raised stool.

The young girl left the studio briefly to get a cup of juice and a muffin, then returned to her waiting canvas, munching idly while pondering how she would begin her newest piece. Resting on the stool, licking muffin crumbs from her dainty fingers, Relm grasped one of her favorite brushes, dabbing the tip onto her palette before slashing a broad stroke over the smooth canvas. Recalling her intense sexual encounter with her dream lover the night before, Relm recreated their coupling on the canvas, remembering how her lover had thrust so forcefully into her young pussy, his many tendrils caressing and writhing over every part of her naked body.

Terra and Shadow took a brief break from their duel to eat a light lunch and consume an entire bottle of Relm's spring wine. Giggling and flailing clumsily at each other, the two combatants spent the rest of the afternoon vainly trying to score against each other, neither duelist succeeding very well. As the sun set beneath the crashing waves, Terra finally fell to her knees, her body drenched in sweat, her breasts pumping desperately for air.

"I give up," panted Terra, smiling at her equally drained adversary.

"I believe it is a draw," declared Shadow, descending to his knees, wiping a hand through his sweat slick raven hair.

Terra squinted at Shadow, then tackled him, pressing her lithe body over his. She kissed Shadow hungrily, devouring his startled lips with her warm mouth.

"Terra!" groaned Shadow, his hands pushing lightly on her ribs.

"Shut up and fuck me," grinned Terra, interrupting any further protests with another long kiss.

Relm applied the last touch to her painting, sitting back to admire her work. The scene was extremely well-detailed and life-like, the painting almost drew itself, she marveled. Setting down her stained brush, Relm looked out the window, finally noticing how late it was. Relm's right hand ached from painting so long without rest, and her butt was sore from sitting so long. Relm started to stand up, but the painting held her attention. The demon lover standing behind Relm's tentacle bound body stared intently into the real Relm's eyes, whispering instructions into her mind. Tentatively, reluctantly, Relm reached out with both hands, gathering her magic within her.

Part of her mind screamed to stop, not to bring life to such an obscene creature. Another part of the girl's brain was completely under the demon's seductive spell, she welcomed her lover, wanted to feel his slimy, wanton embrace. Relm's small hands rested on the still drying paint, she felt the warm flow of her magic begin to seep into the canvas in front of her. The painting began to glow with a pure, white light. Relm sighed softly, her lips trembling as the painting drew in more and more of her magic. A light sheen of perspiration shined over Relm's forehead, she gasped when an incredible burst of magic was torn from her body, sucked into the ravenous fabric of the canvas. The painting shone like a star, filling the small studio with a blinding white radiance. A thunderclap shook the room, knocking Relm limply to the floor. Weak and shaking, Relm pushed herself into a sitting position on the floor, her head tilting up to gaze at the tall, fat body of the demon she had dreamed about.

"Such a good girl," growled the demon with an arrogant smirk, his upper fangs dripping with saliva as he reached down for the paralyzed girl child.

The night was clear and warm as Terra rode Shadow's prone body. She thrust her bare hips forward, her hands pressed down over Shadow's firm chest while she humped his hard cock.

Shadow grasped Terra's soft breasts, squeezing them adoringly, pinching her nipples between his deft fingers. Terra's ass clenched with each shove of her pussy onto Shadow's long shaft. She ran her nails lightly across Shadow's muscled torso, moaning with pleasure as his member stabbed inside her wet vagina. Terra rested her naked body against Shadow's, allowing him to place her left tit inside his mouth, his tongue flicking over her stiff nipple. Terra groaned in ecstasy, closing her eyes, her body shaking from each slap of her crotch against her lover's. Shadow fondled Terra's tight buttocks, spreading her ass cheeks open, rubbing the lower portion of the young woman's quivering slit. Terra purred, nuzzling Shadow's slick black hair with her mouth and nose.

"Who…who are you?" stammered Relm while the huge demon picked her up like a doll and tore her clothes off with razor-tipped tentacles.

"Laagos," snarled the demon, knocking off the young girl's beret, caressing her short brown hair with one massive claw.

"What do you want?" sobbed the child, tears forming beneath her wide brown eyes.

"Dominion," grinned the demon wolfishly, crushing his large muzzle over Relm's quivering mouth. Relm squealed in protest, struggling within the vice grip of Laagos' many tentacles. Laagos rammed his long, slithering black tongue inside Relm's small mouth, making her choke as he explored the interior of her throat. He slammed Relm painfully onto her back, prying her short legs open with two tentacles while a third wrapped tightly around the naked girl's neck.

A phallic-tipped tentacle stifled Relm's protests, squishing obscenely into her mouth. Razor tendrils circled Relm's nipples, cutting little shallow tracks across her flat chest.

Laagos raised Relm's crotch into the air by her spread-eagled legs, leaning down with his bestial snout to lick up her wet pink cunt. Relm shuddered, moaning softly while Laagos sucked on her pussy, burrowing his nose deep into her trembling vagina. The demon's tongue slithered into her belly, caressing every inch of her young womb. Relm's dangling hands dragged over the floor, her lips quivering around the pulsing cock rolling within her warm mouth. Laagos tilted Relm up, sitting her across his wide lap. The demon hugged Relm close to his flabby belly as he speared her dripping pussy with his huge, erect cock. Relm jerked up and down limply, her eyes glazed with shock, her mouth drooling with Laagos' tendril probing inside her throat. Laagos grunted like a bear, cupping Relm's small buttocks while he thrust cruelly into her cunt. With a loud scream of hate and release, Laagos climaxed inside Relm's womb, filling her with his thick cream. Fluid gushed from Relm's pussy, slipping wetly down the naked girl's legs.

Tucking the limp girl under his right armpit, Laagos crashed out of the studio, ramming his way through the cottage.

Shadow was sliding his cock back and forth within Terra's cunt, the green-maned woman positioned on hands and knees facing the turbulent black ocean.

"Did you hear something?" groaned Terra, glancing back at Shadow's gleaming, thrusting body.

Laagos smashed through the front door of the cottage, sprinting across the short space towards the cliff edge.

"Terrrra!" screamed Relm, her eyes wide with horror as she blurred past Terra and Shadow.

"Relm!" shouted Terra, separating from Shadow in pursuit of the immense demon and his young prisoner.

Laagos sprouted a pair of bat-like wings from his grey back, unfurling them as he jumped from the cliff edge. Terra skidded to a halt before she fell after him, watching while the demon glided down to the beach below.

"Hold on, Relm," whispered Terra, turning back to gather Shadow and her gear.

====

Terra entered Relm's bedroom, where Shadow knelt searching under the bed. Terra reached behind her head to tie her long green hair into a loose ponytail. She wore her Minerva armor, the light thin golden chainmail shirt covering her down to her upper thighs. She bore Soul Sabre in a plain leather sheath along her green stocking-clad left leg. Tall leather boots crunched bits of debris that littered the floor from the ravaged hallway.

"So your brave Interceptor was hiding here?" smirked Terra.

"Yes," replied Shadow curtly, beckoning the frightened animal from under the mattress. Interceptor slowly re-emerged from his shelter, sniffing the air warily with his dark muzzle.

"Can he track Relm?"

"He should be able to," said Shadow, petting Interceptor lightly on the head. "Find Relm!"

Interceptor barked an affirmative, racing out through the gaping hole where the front door once stood. The dog sprinted to the edge of the cliff, looking back at the two humans trailing after him. As Shadow moved to stand at his dog's side, Terra folded her hands together, whispering an intricate chant. The feet of all three companions began to glow blue, just before Terra walked off the edge of the cliff. Shadow reflexively reached out to catch the sorceress, but stopped when he saw her slowly levitating down to the beach far below.

Glancing down at Interceptor, Shadow followed Terra, marveling at the magic that lowered him safely down the cliff's side. Interceptor hopped after his master, and soon all three rescuers landed gently on the wet sand of the beach. Interceptor led the way down the shore, occasionally barking to encourage greater speed from his comrades. The trio approached a tall cliff wall adorned with several dark openings that presumably led to a network of seaside caves.

"Which cave did Relm go through, boy?" asked Shadow.

Interceptor ran up to the cliff, agilely climbing along a narrow ledge until he disappeared through one of the middle cave entrances. Terra and Shadow followed the dog, Shadow sliding up to the cave without pause while Terra took a considerably longer time struggling up the cliff face. Shadow's black sleeved hand appeared to pull Terra up into the cave mouth, both humans cloaked in the cavern's heavy darkness. Terra drew Soul Sabre, sending a spark of her magic into the blade. The sword gleamed with a faint blue light, just enough for its wielder and the ninja to see their way.

"Interceptor must be further down the tunnel," said Shadow, drawing his Thief Knife as he moved silently down the wide cavern shaft.

Relm sniffed loudly, wiping a tear from her right cheek before resuming her crude drawing on the cavern wall. Laagos stood behind the naked girl, his breath hot against the back of Relm's neck. Setting down the sharp rock that she had used to scratch the image of a demon on the wall, Relm placed her left hand atop it, pouring her magic into the drawing. The rock bubbled and flowed like water, vomiting a tall, thin demon with moist green skin and vicious, gleaming black claws. The demon snarled softly, drooling a thick glob of black slime onto the cavern floor.

"I have brought you forth. You are my slave," rumbled Laagos, slamming a large fist against his wide chest.

"Massster," acknowledged the green demon, groveling respectfully on the floor.

"You will go to the nearby town of Thamasa to collect painting supplies. On the way back, you will collect monsters from the countryside to help guard our new lair."

"Yesss," nodded the jade demon before he ran out of the cave with long, loping strides.

"Interceptor! Stop!" hissed Shadow, crouching low with his dirk held ready at his side.

Interceptor sat at the mouth of a cavern opening, looking up at something in front of him. Shadow halted just behind his dog, following the hound's rapt gaze. The ninja stared at several glowing green forms that swam lazily in the air, whispering softly to each other. Terra joined Shadow, sheathing her sword to conceal its enchanted light. All three searchers watched the ethereal forms dance around the circumference of the immense cave, their awed faces illuminated by the strong green glow.

"What are they?" murmured Terra, her eyes wide.

"Ghosts, I think," replied Shadow through his Dark Hood. "They look harmless."

Interceptor entered the large cave, watching the flying ghosts warily as he crossed the floor. Shadow followed his dog, his hand clenched tightly around the hilt of his knife. As Terra began following the ninja, she gasped when one of the ghosts flashed down onto Shadow's back, disappearing inside his body. Shadow jerked violently, twisting from side to side, seeming to fight an enemy inside his own body while he staggered right, then left.

"Get…back!" grunted Shadow, his arms wrapped around his shuddering belly.

"Shadow!" shouted Terra, drawing Soul Sabre, running to her friend's aid. She moved close to the shaking ninja, wrapping her left arm around his shoulders comfortingly while holding her blade between herself and the floating ghosts above her. One of the green ghosts dived towards Terra, screeching when the young woman destroyed it with a single blow from her sword.

The other ghosts fluttered angrily around Terra and Shadow, muttering just below an understandable level, their tone threatening and promising dark retribution.

"C'mon, Shadow! We have to get out of here!" hissed Terra, half carrying the bent over ninja towards the beckoning entryway they had come through.

Interceptor barked at his master to follow him, then gave up and disappeared through an exit portal on the other side of the cave. Right when the two comrades reached the entrance to the passageway, Shadow wrapped his right arm around Terra's neck and hurled her back into the cave. Terra fell heavily onto her back, nearly losing her grip on Soul Sabre. Shadow held his Thief Knife before him, smiling maliciously, licking his lips with obscene anticipation.

"Shadow! What's wrong with you?" exclaimed Terra, picking herself up, holding Soul Sabre defensively with both hands. She squinted as Shadow slithered towards her, noticing the green gleam in his narrowed eyes. Shadow struck without warning, slashing down with his dagger.

Terra blocked the attack, both blades spitting sparks as their enchantments fought against each other. Shadow sprung back, kicking Terra in her left side sharply. Terra staggered to the side, holding her weapon out to keep the fleet ninja back. Shadow lashed out again, unleashing a series of lightning fast stabs and slashes. Terra deflected as many blows as she could, but several lunges broke through her defense, scoring hits over her right leg and left torso. Terra panted, feeling her blood dripping under her stocking and down her sore ribs. Reluctantly, Terra started to summon the magic to cast a damaging spell on Shadow when the ninja performed a series of snap kicks against her. Terra shouted in agony when Shadow smacked her right wrist with his foot, knocking her sword away into a distant portion of the cave. Another kick impacted against Terra's stomach, shoving her backwards before yet another kick rammed up against her chin and made her see stars.

Terra collapsed onto the unforgiving cavern floor, dazed and limp from the blows and her violent descent. Shadow pounced heavily over the prone young woman, holding her trembling wrists down with his gloved hands, his eyes burning with unholy jade fire.

"It's been centuries since I savored a beautiful woman," said Shadow with an old, hate-filled voice. "I'm going to enjoy this."

"No…please," begged Relm, pressing her short naked body against the rough cave wall behind her.

"You enjoyed it when we fucked in your dream," growled Laagos, four long tentacles quivering around his large bloated grey body.

"I'll do whatever you want, just please don't hurt me," sobbed Relm, holding her thin arms over her flat chest.

"I know you will," smiled Laagos, wrapping two tentacles around Relm's narrow wrists, dragging her towards his immense frame. Relm knelt before Laagos' crotch, a cluster of phallic tendrils waving in front of her face emitting an overpowering musky reek.

"Suck on one," suggested Laagos, stroking the girl's soft brown hair.

Relm tentatively wrapped her lips around one of the demon's wriggling cocks, licking the moist head with her tongue. Laagos purred, caressing the girl child's left cheek with a claw while Relm sucked on his member, the tendril sliding deep into her throat. Relm placed both of her tentacle bound hands on the shaft before her, rubbing the glistening sides as she slid her lips around the bulbous head, her tongue stimulating the sensitive cock flesh beneath.

"Yes, that's it, my girl," panted Laagos, a second phallic tendril wrapping around Relm's neck, its engorged head spitting thin streams of white cream down the girl's small chest.

Relm's head jerked back and forth as she sucked off the fat demon, her cheeks clenched with effort while she fondled Laagos' meat with her agile tongue. Laagos closed his eyes with bliss, holding the sucking girl's head in both of his huge paws, pumping her face over his throbbing shaft. The tendril around Relm's neck slithered down her chest and belly, crawling between her bare legs to nuzzle inside her tender pussy. Relm moaned around Laagos' thick cock, her thighs trembling as the demon slowly pressed his member into her yielding cunt. Relm released Laagos' cock, tilting her beautiful face back before the demon spewed his clinging cum all over her face.

With reeking milk dripping from her nose and chin, Relm leaned against Laagos while he fucked her young pussy, the tentacle between her thighs thrusting so violently she jerked briefly into the air with each painful shove. Laagos craned Relm's jizz dripping face back so he could admire her ravished beauty, he gathered cum on one of his thick fingers and forced the girl to lick it with her sensual young tongue. With a loud grunt, Laagos climaxed inside Relm's vagina, filling her uterus with his gushing seed. The demon removed his tentacle from Relm's pussy with a wet squish, splashes of escaping cum pooling on the floor beneath her.

"Massster! I return!" announced the lackey demon, shouldering two large canvas bags.

"Where are the minions I asked for?" demanded Laagos.

"I released them into the caves. They are very hungry for fresh meat," cackled the lackey.

"Excellent. What's in that sack?" inquired Laagos, pointing at the struggling bag over the lackey demon's right shoulder.

"This? Just something to snack on later. It's been a long time since I've been able to savor mortal flesh," replied the lackey, jerking open his bag and releasing its contents onto the rock floor.

Two young girls fell down in a clutter of tangled limbs. Both girls were dressed in torn sleeping shifts; one was a blonde in simple wool, while the second was a gorgeous redhead in rich green silk.

"Hmmm! Tasty!" smiled Laagos, admiring the trembling redhead greedily. "You have done well, my servant. Assemble the materials!"

Laagos held Relm affectionately against his soft belly, caressing her naked, cum-covered body. Relm watched with glazed eyes while the lackey demon carefully assembled a huge painting canvas against the far wall. The bare canvas was nearly floor to ceiling in height, stretching over two dozen feet in length.

"The canvas for your next work, my pet," said Laagos, fondling Relm's right nipple. "You will open the gateway so that the legions of Hell may pour forth and harvest this ripe young world."

====

Terra groaned, an intense throbbing coming from just over her right temple. Terra tried to rise, remembering how Shadow had become possessed by a ghost. The lovely jade-haired woman grunted when she discovered that she could barely move, her arms were bound behind her back with a thick rope that stretched down to bind her legs as well. Terra managed to roll onto her knees, but she couldn't see anything since a thick blindfold had been placed over her eyes. The young woman attempted to cry out, however she was muted by a knotted rope gag that wound around her head.

"Ah, my sweet morsel awakens," murmured an elderly male voice as a gloved hand caressed her naked back. Terra groaned into her gag, moving her head back and forth in an attempt to figure out where the speaker was standing.

"Sweet Terra, what pleasures we shall have," said the speaker, fondling her rope-bound breasts, twisting her nipples maliciously.

Terra moaned loudly through her gag, her nostrils flaring in anger. She protested when she felt the hand running across her left buttock, sliding back and forth across her smooth white flesh before prying her crack open. She felt the cold hilt of a knife rub against her pussy, the rounded pommel digging into her cunt. A gloved hand moved up and down Terra's spine while the knife hilt moved up and down her pussy, the cold metal caressing the warm pink flesh of her cervix. The hilt thrust into Terra's vagina, rolling within her narrow tunnel.

Terra moaned, her lips clasping around the round knot stuffed inside her mouth. The hand on Terra's back pushed down, forcing her ass onto the knife hilt. Terra groaned when the hilt shoved deeper into her uterus, the unforgiving metal rubbing the moist walls of her vagina. Terra's ass bobbed up and down erotically, enfolding the knife hilt and the hand that held it. The hand pushing on Terra's back slapped her bare buttocks, making her grunt into her gag once more. Terra humped the knife hilt until she orgasmed, her thick juices gushing onto the weapon and over the wielder's hand.

"Now let's see what your other set of lips can do," chuckled the ghost-controlled Shadow, opening his breeches as he moved towards Terra's head.

"She's not working fast enough," observed Laagos, his cocks taking turns punching in and out of the kneeling redhead's dripping cunt.

Mogoth nodded at his lord before raising the whip in his right claw and slashing it across Relm's back. Relm gasped in pain, a new red line joining the others across her abused back.

"Work faster, bitch," growled Mogoth.

Relm dipped her brush onto her palette, trying to keep her balance on the unstable scaffold. The lower portion of her painting was complete, a sterile, red-hued plain swarming with demonic hordes. Currently she was working on the sky portion, a dull, blood-red sky filled with tumultuous black clouds and flocks of flying demons. The painting would be complete soon, then the young girl would be forced to bring the horrible scene to life.

"Better," smiled Laagos, holding onto the naked hips of the red-maned girl before him, admiring the motion of her curved ass as his engorged tendrils ravaged her once-untouched pussy.

He glanced to his right, where his blonde captive lay on her back, her legs spread wide apart while tentacles wriggled inside her cunt and mouth. Laagos dug his claws into the redhead's buttocks, making her groan softly in pain. He raised the slim young girl onto his lap, crushing her soft breasts in his paws, ramming his cocks into her cunt and anus. The demon licked the curve of the girl's neck, biting into her right shoulder, sucking her thick, hot blood. The girl moaned weakly, her lips trembling. Laagos pushed the naked girl against his crotch, forcing his members ever further into her womb. The girl lay limply against him, submissive to his cruel touch as he placed his right claw between her thighs, rubbing her clit while his tendrils wetly writhed within her cunt.

Laagos placed his mouth over the girl's, forcing his tongue down her warm throat, enjoying her soft groan of protest as he ravaged her sensual lips.

Terra lay on her right side, her left leg held up in the air by Shadow while he stabbed his cock into her quivering pussy. The thick hemp rope bit into Terra's wrists, ankles, and tits as she strained against her tight bonds. Drool escaped around the knot that nestled inside the young woman's mouth, her eyes straining behind the black blindfold that obscured her vision. Terra groaned from a particularly violent thrust into her cunt by the possessed ninja. He caressed the insides of her upper thighs while he rammed his meat into her pussy, filling her vagina with his rock hard shaft. Despite the danger of the situation, Terra found herself aroused by Shadow's cruel use of her body, remembering their more romantic coupling on the cliff edge near Relm's cottage. Terra shuddered when Shadow climaxed inside her, filling her belly with his hot cream.

"My turn!" exclaimed one of the ghosts floating above the two humans.

"No, mine!" screeched a shrill female ghost.

"This sweetmeat is mine! All mine!" roared Shadow, jumping to his feet, glaring defiantly at the transparent green ghosts fluttering around him.

"You are not our leader, Arden," declared a third ghost.

"I am greater than you all. I was once a fearful power in life."

Terra used the argument to cover her movements, slowly rubbing her wrist bonds against a jagged piece of rock jutting from the cavern floor. As the argument became louder and more heated, Terra managed to sever her bonds.

"Terra belongs only to me," smiled Shadow maniacally, reaching down to fondle his bound naked treasure.

Terra thrust out her left palm, slapping it against Shadow's bare forehead. She invoked her magic, shoving it like a spear into her possessed comrade's mind. Shadow screamed, his cry reverberating across the large cave. Terra rolled away from the convulsing ninja, wriggling out of her frayed rope bonds. She staggered to her feet, snatching Soul Sabre from the floor as several ghosts dove towards her. Terra slashed back and forth with her sword, tearing the ethereal ghosts asunder with her blade's magic. The surviving ghosts fled through the cave roof, but the ghost that had possessed Shadow hung above the ninja's collapsed form, glaring at Terra with hate-filled red eyes.

"You belong to me, whore. I will be back to reclaim you."

"Never," replied Terra, running towards the ghost with her sword held back for a wide slash. Arden hurled straight up into the air, phasing through the ceiling before Terra could smite him. Terra stared at the spot where Arden disappeared, wary of another attack, yet exhausted from her brief, intense confrontation with the ghosts.

"Terra?" whispered Shadow, looking up from the floor at Terra's naked body.

"Are you alright?" countered Terra, kneeling down next to her friend.

"My head hurts. I don't remember what happened after the ghosts appeared."

"They're gone," smiled Terra wearily. "We better keep looking for Relm."

"After you get dressed," grinned Shadow, admiring Terra's bare, sweat-glistening breasts.

"Pervert," giggled Terra, slapping Shadow gently on the side of his head, flinching when he moaned loudly with pain.

"It is done, master," said Mogoth proudly, standing aside from the immense hellish painting.

"Excellent. Relm, bring my legions forth!" commanded Laagos with a sweep of one heavily muscled arm.

Weary to the bone, her skin pale from exhaustion and hunger, Relm slowly placed her hands on the canvas near the center of the painting, calling forth her flagging magic for one last summoning. The huge painting began to glow with a fiery light, the depicted clouds started to churn, the demons slowly advanced toward the onlookers.

"More! More power!" roared Laagos, the blonde and redhead cowering behind him.

Relm groaned, her face contorted into a pain-wracked expression as she let more and more of her life energy flow into the widening dimensional portal. Soft thunder emerged from the painting, a hot wind blasted across everyone in the cavern. The bloodthirsty cries of the charging demon hordes became louder and louder, grating on Relm's ears as she held her trembling arms against the oily canvas. With a sharp tear like ripping flesh, the vanguard of the demon horde emerged from the painting, their breathing harsh and labored as they adjusted to their new world.

"I am Laagos, the one who summoned you. You must swear to serve me if you wish to remain in this world."

"We obey you, Lord Laagos," acknowledged the group of demons, kneeling humbly before their proud, victorious master.

The goblin screamed as Soul Sabre sliced through his wide neck. A fountain of green ichor sprayed from the ugly rent while the goblin's corpse fell to the tunnel floor. Terra had little time to catch her breath before two more goblins lunged towards her stabbing out with short spears. Terra knocked the wicked spear tips away, but not before one point cut into her golden Minerva armor, digging painfully into the right side of her stomach. Gritting her teeth, Terra cut open the offending goblin, then stabbed at the monster's companion, skewering him smoothly.

Leaning heavily on Soul Sabre, Terra watched Shadow dispatch the last surviving goblin with a swift upward sweep of his Thief Knife. The dying goblin tumbled to the ground, spewing hot gore over the grey tunnel walls.

"Second…ambush…in an hour," gasped Shadow, the fierce battle draining even the ninja's vast reserves of strength.

"Something's happening deeper in the caves, something bad," murmured Terra, her senses burning with the reverberations of powerful magic.

"Relm can summon monsters with her art, think she was forced to summon a demon lord by her captor?"

"A demon lord, or a demon horde," declared Terra, her eyes widening with dread.

Both adventurers renewed their advance down the tunnel, weapons ready, their thoughts uneasy at the prospect of fighting a legion of demons summoned by their kidnapped friend's abilities.

"Keep away from her!" roared Mogoth, lashing at the leering demon with a long whip.

The reaching demon recoiled his claws quickly, glaring at Relm's guardian as he shambled away to join his milling comrades. Relm slept on, unaware of her brush with danger, exhausted from her long hours of painting and the draining summoning she had been forced to perform. Pale, with dark circles under her closed eyes, Relm slept curled up in a fetal position, the thin grey shift on her body barely protecting her from the cavern's moisture laden air.

Laagos sat against a wall on the far side of the cave, staring into a small glowing green globe that floated just above his open right palm. The blonde and red-maned female prisoners sucked loudly on Laagos' wriggling cocks, moaning while two demons crouched between their legs, lapping wetly inside their bare pussies. Laagos watched with interest as Terra and Shadow engaged yet another wandering patrol of goblins.

"These intruders are getting too close. You two! Gather the boys and hunt down these trespassers. Kill the ninja, but bring the sorceress to me alive," smiled Laagos, petting the head of the red-haired young woman who was slowly licking up the bottom of one of his long, slimy shafts.

The two crouched demons rose reluctantly from their treats, the girls' cum gleaming on their sharp, bony chins. Bowing to their lord, the demons pushed and slapped their fellows into some kind of order, herding them through a wide cavern exit.

"How long has it been since the last summoning?" shouted Laagos at Mogoth, who kept his post near the sleeping Relm.

"About an hour, master," replied Mogoth.

"Wake our little artist up, it's time to bring forth more of my soldiers."

The demons attacked Terra and Shadow while they were crossing through an immense stalactite adorned cave. Terra leveled Soul Sabre at the charging horde, casting a powerful Bolt spell through the magic-enhancing sword. Loud thunder shook the cavern walls as bright shafts of blue lightning fell from the ceiling, reducing several demons to ash in an instant. Shadow attacked the wounded enemy, slashing demon throats and crotches with blurring sweeps of his knife. Terra held out her open left hand, expelling a Fire spell that flew towards a group of demons like a small fireball, then blossomed into a huge sphere of flame that incinerated all of the targeted monsters.

A few surviving demons loped towards Terra, who was forced to repel them with Soul Sabre. The beautiful young woman hacked off grasping demon limbs, beheading one foe, then gutting another enemy to her left. The last demon standing wrapped his arms around Terra, snapping at her throat with his long, dripping fangs. Terra slid her sword into place, stabbing down into the demon's vulnerable belly. The demon released Terra, clutching at his bleeding stomach. Terra impaled the wounded monster, slashing his throat open for good measure.

"We're almost at the source, keep moving!" urged Terra, racing past Shadow for the cave exit in the far wall.

Relm held her small hands against the huge painting, holding the gateway open for dozens of snarling demons. Laagos watched in satisfaction, his two female slaves kissing on their knees in front of him, one of his large, glistening tentacles wrapped around both of their entwined naked bodies.

"Someone's coming, master!" alerted Mogoth from the lair entrance.

"Faster, whore!" spat Laagos, snapping a tentacle over Relm's back, opening a narrow wound across her flesh.

Relm gasped in pain, tears tumbling from her closed eyes. The young girl released the last of her magic, causing the entire floor to ceiling painting to burn with glimmering red light. A flock of flying demons dove through the gateway, sailing in loops above the demon lord's head.

A loud dog's bark broke Relm's concentration, she raised her hands from the painting, closing the dimensional portal as she turned to see Interceptor racing towards her, tongue lolling out the left side of his mouth.

"Interceptor!" shouted Relm, her eyes widening with surprise and hope, her arms opening to hug her canine friend.

"Kill the beast!" screamed Laagos, pointing at the sprinting hound.

The flying demons dived after Interceptor, howling bloodthirsty cries in their race for prey.

"Interceptor! No!" exclaimed Relm, breaking into a weak, clumsy run towards Interceptor just as the flying demons tore into him. Interceptor howled in pain, snapping at the ripping claws of the passing demons. One demon slashed a deep wound across the dog's spine, knocking Interceptor from his feet. Interceptor whined in agony, looking up at Relm with pain-wracked eyes.

"No," sobbed Relm, kneeling next to Interceptor's prone form, cradling the dog's limp head.

Laagos slowly walked up to the girl and the mortally wounded hound. He slowly raised his clawed right foot, the shadow of his heel falling over Relm as she hugged Interceptor to her small chest. The claw fell, squashing Interceptor's body, only the dog's head remained intact within Relm's thin arms. Relm slowly looked up at the demon lord, her cheeks dripping with tears, her eyes smoldering with a hatred she had never felt before. Laagos smiled, relishing the child's hate before returning back to his two playthings, who were writhing upon the floor, sucking ravenously on each other's tits and cunts.

"Master! Intruders!" shouted Mogoth, diving away from the yawning black entrance. A fireball sizzled out of the opening after the demon, arching down into a group of demons, blasting them to smoldering bits of red flesh. Terra and Shadow charged into the cavern, hacking any demon that got in their way.

"Terra!" exclaimed Relm, waving frantically at the dueling sorceress.

Terra waved hastily in return before cutting down a nearby foe. She beat her way towards Relm, hewing down anything that obstructed her view of her young friend.

"Ah, you smell sweet," growled Laagos, slapping the back of Terra's head with a serpent quick tentacle. Terra fell heavily, rolling swiftly back to her feet, brandishing Soul Sabre before her towering demonic opponent.

"A magical blade? It will avail you naught," chuckled Laagos, casting Ice from his large claws.

Terra raised a Shell with the aid of her sword, the transparent shield deflecting the frigid white wave up into the ceiling. Terra countered with Bolt, sending several tongues of lightning crackling over the unprepared demon. Laagos screamed, the lightning biting deep into his flabby grey flesh. The demon lord lunged at Terra, intent on tearing the woman apart with his own hands. Terra flashed Soul Sabre, severing all the fingers of Laagos' right hand. Laagos howled with rage and agony, lowering his left fist to crush the jade-haired sorceress. Terra hopped out of range of Laagos' strike, aiming the tip of Soul Sabre at the demon, pouring all of her magic into the brightly glowing weapon. Laagos opened his mouth to scream, but nothing came out as Ultima washed over him and the remaining demons, the sickly green fog reducing them to their component atoms.

Silence fell over the cavern, Terra collapsing from the drain of her magic, Shadow rushing to her side. Relm grasped her brush, slashing a dark black streak across the surface of the huge painting. The black paint flowed like oil, covering the entire canvas, destroying the hellish piece Relm had been forced to create.

Shadow held Terra tightly, lending her his strength, finally noticing Interceptor's head lying in a pool of dark red blood.

"Interceptor," whispered Shadow with a pain-filled sigh. Terra followed the ninja's gaze, gasping with horror at the gruesome sight.

"I'm sorry," murmured Terra, kissing Shadow softly, removing his Dark Hood so she could soothingly stroke his sweaty black hair. Relm joined her two friends, crushing her small body between both of them. Shadow and Terra enfolded Relm, all three supporting each other.

"Uh, can we, like, go home now?" inquired the redhead slave girl, vainly trying to cover her full naked breasts and pussy with her arms.

Relm giggled softly, burying her face against Terra's stomach. Terra ran her hand over Relm's short brown hair, holding her while leading the way out of the empty demon lair.

Mogoth leaned against the tunnel wall, clutching his profusely bleeding left arm. Drooling heavily, the demon staggered towards the exit that led to the fresh ocean air. Without warning, a green ethereal form phased through the tunnel ceiling and burrowed into Mogoth. The demon snarled, shuddering as the ghost within him overcame his mind. Mogoth raised his ugly, trollish head, his narrow eyes gleaming with an unholy green radiance.

"I'm coming for you, sweetmeat," grinned the demon, his fangs eager to rip into Terra's nubile, tender flesh.
