Zell told his friends goodbye and walked out of the city with the dragons. When they reached an open area the azure drake began to remove his clothing from his body. "Be a dear for me, master human." He said. "I have grown accustomed to this clothing and have come to be quite fond of it. If you wouldn't mind placing it in your pack or holding on to it for me, that would be grand." He held his shirt out to Zell. For the dragon's thin frame, he was muscularly defined, without an ounce of body fat.
"I can." Zell said, taking the clothes.
As the dragon fully stripped, he began to transform into his dragon form. He was a massive beast with large blue and green scales that reminded Zell of the colors of the ocean. He had four massive legs, a long neck and a thick body. Two impossibly large wings sat upon his back. Obsi transformed as well. She appeared to have the same appearance only her scales were jet black.
Ocana looked down at Zell. "Hop on human." He said with a voice so loud and deep that it shook the very ground upon which Zell stood.
Zell nodded and leaped to the back of the dragon.
"Impressive for a human to jump so high." Ocana said. "Hold on tight, we fly."
Obsi and Ocana began to flap their massive wings. With each flap the wind around them stirred. As the flaps increased in frequency so did the disturbance of the wind. Small plants become uprooted from the forces as the dragons' feet leave the ground.
Back in the city Samantha and Kaitlyn could see the massive dragons from the wall. They were so large that their shadows darkened the sky over the kingdom, casting a shadow over many of the buildings. They watched as the dragons nodded to each other and then took off with amazing speed, causing a massive wake in the ocean from the downward draft.
"Looks like Zell is off to the island." Kaitlyn said sadly. "So, when do you think Kilgon will be done with his new friend?"
Samantha shrugged. "I could not say." She explained. "The dwarf did say it would be hours."
Kaitlyn looked out across the ocean trying to watch the dot which was Zell slowly disappeared from view. She sighed as it vanished from her sight. "So, you want to marry my Zell?" Kaitlyn said pointedly at Samantha.
"Your Zell?" Samantha replied. "I was unaware that he was married already."
"Well, we aren't married." Kaitlyn admitted. "I just plan to make him mine one day."
"I see." Samantha said. "Sounds like we'll have ourselves a lovely little rivalry then."
The two looked out at the ocean once more and just stared into the distance, imagining the island of dragons.
"You are with that hero are you not?" An unknown woman said to Kaitlyn.
She turned and looked, shocked that a demon had approached her. "Who are you?! What do you want?!" She said sharply.
"Oh my." The demoness said. "I am terribly sorry; I feel as if we got off on the wrong foot. I have come from the land of demons in search of the hero. We demons wish only to live in peace and heard that he wanted the same. I was sent as an envoy of my people to pave the way for better relations."
"And you decided it would be good to be dressed like that?" Kaitlyn said, looking at the belts covering the demoness's body with no other actual clothing.
"Is there something wrong with the way I dress?" She asked coyly. "This is how my kind of demon always dresses, a traditional grab of my people if you will."
"Well, you are going to need more coverage if you do not want unwanted attention." Samantha said.
"The male kind." Kaitlyn said. "They will swarm you and stare at you like you are a piece of meat. Who knows what else?"
"That sounds wonderful." The demoness said, licking her lips.
"Wonderful?" Samantha asked. "Would you really derive pleasure from such things?"
"I suppose I should introduce myself." The demoness said. "I am known as Sarilla. I am a succubus, a demon that feeds on the lustful desires of others. What you described would be a feast for me."
"A succubus?!" Samantha said.
"Something wrong with that?" Sarilla asked, confused.
"Only, the fact that their victims die after the feeding!" Samantha said. "Dressed as you are there are bound to be casualties. Either cover yourself or get out of the kingdom. I cannot allow my subjects to die for your feasting!" Samantha hurried through her bags and tossed a long dress over to the succubus. "Wear this, it will at least cover you up some."
Sarilla took the dress and slid it over her head. The outline of the belts could still be seen under the fabric. "This is the most clothing I have ever worn." Sarilla said. "I can already feel myself getting hot, how can you stand to wear so much?"
"It is just a dress." Samantha sighed. "I am wearing undergarments, clothing, and armor. You get used to it."
"So, demon." Kaitlyn interjected. "You say you come on a mission of peace, a diplomat of your people. Is that really true when you can kill a man from causing him sexual desire and you came to meet a male hero virtually in the nude? No, I think there is something else going on here. I suspect you knew exactly what you were doing."
"Kaitlyn." Samantha said, trying to get the cat girl to stop her accusations.
"No, I know you are up to something!" Kaitlyn yelled. "Don't you dare try and play innocent with me, I know exactly what you are after. You demons fear Zell and you wish to kill him through means other than fighting!"
Sarilla just stood there in shock. She could not believe the cat girl saw through her plans so quickly. "I see I have no choice then." She said with a sigh. "I will have to kill you both in order to complete my mission. That is sad, I was hoping we could be friends cat girl. I always wanted a pet cat."
"Wait Kaitlyn was right?!" Samantha said in awe.
Kaitlyn hissed at the demoness and prepared for battle by extending her claws on her hand.
Samantha drew her sword and stood in her attack stance next to Kaitlyn. "We will defend ourselves and our Zell." Samantha said. "You should retreat now."
"I am sorry I cannot do that." Sarilla said while trying to hide her excitement. "My lord's reward to me is far too great for me to ever abandon this mission. You know too much, so I am afraid you will have to die. Sure, the hero will be heartbroken, but that will just make him all the easier to conquer. I can swoop in while he is all sad and alone and be his rock. Yes, that is a wonderful plan."
A whip of pure blue flame formed in the succubus's hand. A lit flame appeared in her eyes to match. She slapped the ground with her wipe a few times leaving blue fire in her wake.
Samantha and Kaitlyn looked at each other and nodded as they both bent their knees and prepared for combat.
Sarilla smiled at the sight and quickly moved her head back and forth to pop her neck. "Alright girlies, time to die!"
