"Emma!""Rikke" The twines in unison turned around to great the mage and rogue as they entered the map room. They had both found their gear and had already donned most of their armor. Both had matching Breastplates and boots with green cloaks baring a crest shaped like a Shield over a sword with stars above them. It was a similar crest that the guards in the barracks had on their armor as well as the ornate sword Rikke had found earlier. What caught Rikke's attention however was an older style leather armor clearly cut and sized for a man with a similar crest. "Sorry Rikke" "This is all we could find." "Your the first succubus" "we ever met who" "wears armor." There it was again these girls all of them seemed to think Rikke was a vile demon. But before she could object Emma spoke up handing Gloria and Loria each their own orange stone tiaras. "Remember girls we are the last of the Peslie's retainers. It is up to us to restore our houses honor and rescue our lady!" She gave each of them including Rikke a determined stare. "And before we do this we must be willing to sacrifice everything. If we falter it won't just be our lives wasted everyone who's counting on us and everyone who has yet to feel the evil in this place will suffer if we fail. We all have our reasons to be here some for vengence" Gloria and Loria both nodded "some for adventure" Emma's deep green eyes locked onto Rikke's own "and some of us for love. No matter our reasons we are here together as one. Are you with me?!" Twin yeahs rang out from the twins as they thrust their hands in the middle quickly followed by Emma's and a short while latter Rikke's

"Okay here's the plan. I will use my magic to create illusions of us naked and chained to the pillars as well as keeping Gloria, Loria, and myself invisible. I will also create an image of Brody as they left him so the will think nothing amiss. It will take a lot of my concentration to maintain the illusions and they won't be perfect. Rikke I need you to hide in the shadows with the purple tiara and place it upon Sarah's head after she summons her master. The tiara's not only create light but ward off outside influences. This is why we need you to wait for the demon to be summoned. Sarah is possessed by the demon master but its not a perfect union. The good part of Sarah's soul fights every day but she has slowly been getting weaker. No doubt this is why they want to act tonight the new moon enhances the dark magics the demons often employ. If we fail tonight even if we get away the demon will overpower our poor Sarah and devour whats left of her good soul. Once our trap is laid and sprung I can drop the illusions and banish the demon for good. We will still have to be careful though. It may not have a body but it will still be dangerous."

"Any questions?" Emma looked over the three girls all smiling and pumped for whatever comes next. "The makers watching with our skills..." "And a little bit of luck" "We'll avenge the manor..." "And save Sarah!" each girl seemingly playing of each others words did one last cheers and proceeded out of the library. It was time to start up this little party.

Rikke decided to leave the male armor alone, not only it would slow her down, but also could potential cause unneeded sound, detrimental to the plan at hand... besides she was really starting to love the feel of the perfectly fitting bra and panties.

In no time the girls reached the magical chamber "Gloria, Loria... you ready?" Emma glanced at the twins each of them taking position around the room "Aye" first time ever Rikke heard the twins speak at the same time... even though it was nigh impossible to tell. "Rikke, good luck we're counting on you." the rogue winked slyly at the mage "Lady lucks favorite girl right here." A small smile finally erupted from the blonde, perhaps this plan will really work.

Rikke and crew made their way up to the chamber where summoning would take place and thankfully the sound of the savage beating had stopped and Rikke hoped her friend Jess did suffer to much. Giving Rikke the go ahead Emma chanted her own magic words and when Rikke looked back the stairwell looked empty even though she knew better it was almost hard not to believe that it was empty. Turning her own attention to her hiding spot she soon found a out of the way corner where the torch light failed to reach. Soon near perfect copies of the girls appeared still bound in chains in their positions before as well has an illusionary Brody. There trap was set now all she had to do was wait. They didn't have to wait long. The sounds of many feet soon echoed down the stairs as Jiam and Gavix descended the stairs and took positions near them. They where followed by Victoria the blonde succubi towing a crawling Jessica on a cruel chain leash attached to a collar. From Rikke's vantage point she could clearly see the nasty scars and cuts from the "Tomcat" which still hung at Victoria's belt. After a few moments Sarah came down the stairs in nasty black stilettos which where the only thing she was wearing besides her piercings. Her large black wings where at rest forming a false cloak around the corrupt mage. "Now the moment we all waited for.. The rebirth of our Lord!" With that she began to chant foul words that grated on Rikke's soul and produced a black smoke that began to leave the mage and coalesce into the black skinned demon from her dreams. The Spectrile demon started taking its first steps to the illusionary Brody and paused. "WHAT IS THIS i HAVE BEEN TRICKED SARAH THERE IS NO BODY TO POSSES!" "NOW!" Emma's voice rang out as her illusions dropped causing a moment of confusion. The exact moment Rikke had been waiting for.

Re: An Easy Score (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke was rather surprised how mazingly quick the succubi started up her ritual. Was she really that impatient or did something take place that rushed the mistress to grant the evil in her a body. Nevertheless Rikke was in perfect position, she'd reach her target in nigh moments. All that remained was to just wait for her the opportune time.

As the ritual commenced, the evil powers eagerly entered the trap, before they even realised it already had been sprung. "NOW!" This was it! Rikke quickly lunged forward tiara in hand, the moment was set now to sieze it!

As the rogue approached Sarah at ridiculous speed she prepared the tiara for placement 'Now or never!'

Rikke jumped at her chance as chaos erupted all around the small room. Making a flawless tumble past Victoria Rikke was able to wrap Sarah up in a tight embrace forceing the Tiara ontop of the corrupt mages's head. Thats when the fun began. As soon as the tiara was placed on Sarahs head she began to buck and scream in agony it was all Rikke could do to hold on to the girl but still she persevered making sure the tiara stayed in one spot till the master was delt with. Gloria and Loria seemed to be handling themselves well as they engage Jiam and Gavix. Gloria had charged from their hiding place greatsword in hand and rushed Gavix scoring and impressive hit but Gavix being slightly faster on his feet still managed to avoid a lethal blow. Jiam however was not so luck turning to face the new danger he caught Loria's shield right in the face. Rikke could clearly hear the crack of his skull as the force of the blow sent him flying into a pillar never to rise again. Emma in the mean time let loose a vivid beam of light that managed to hit both the Master and Victoria. The master a looked shocked that something had actually hurt him and tried to retreat but thanks to Rikke he was stuck for now.

Re: An Easy Score (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"De~~nied!" Rikke swiftly placed the tiara on the succubus and made short work of any resistance with her cqc (close quarter combat technoiques). The Mistress wasn't gonna be going anywhere soon, something that could just as gleefully be said about the dark entity in the room.

The rogue held down the girl as she scraemed and shook obviously the Tiara was none to pleasant of an addition to her appearance. 'Come on Sarah bear with it a little longer' she started feeling genuinely sad about all the cursed body she held down went through "Go for it Emma finish that thing off!" Rikke shouted out to the mage, encouraging her to finally finish the whole affair! When suddenly she could clearly feel someone looking right at her, Rikke didn't need to scan the room to know who it was.

Jess was looking over all the festivities around her, while the girl was obviously beaten and tortured far beyond what anyone should have to bear through. Though that didn't stop her to vigorously follow the battle emerging before her, while stopping her glance at Rikke. The rogue light up, her friend was alive! Nevertheless she had to ignore her for the moment, the battle wasn't over.

The melee continued around Rikke as she struggled to keep sarah out of the fight no need to bring a corrupt mage to ruin the party. Just as Sarah used her wings to try and force Rikke off she could hear the whip crack! Of the Tomcat missing her by mere inches. It looked like Victoria was gonna try and play. Elsewhere on the battlefield Gloria and Gavix faced off testing each others defenses before both deciding to strike at the same time. As Gloria's blade cleaved off the foul demons head she felt a sharp pain in her side where Gavix's blade had found a weak point in her armor. Thankfully it didn't hit anything vital though she was mightily pissed the creature had managed to touch her. Loria on the other hand moved into shield bash the Demon master which seemed somewhat successful but all her effort to knock him on his ass was wasted as it simple grunted at her effort. Reaching up with one massive claw in order to squash her like a bug Loria could only look on in shock. Thankfully Emma came to her rescue binding the demon with mystic chains of light letting Loria get clear if the demon should break free.

Re: An Easy Score (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

'Damnit!' Rikke eyed the platinum haired succubus with hatred. That was the very same weapon Jess had to endure for so long! "Let go of my mistress whore!" the succubus cracked her whipping weapon once menacingly. "I wouldn't do that... what if I shift and it hits your precious Mistress." the succubus scoffed at such a thought "Don't worry I've got plenty of experience." Obviously she wouldn't let up and Rikke couldn't exactly just dodge aside. Sarah still had some fight left in her, if Rikke lets go now who knows what horrible magic the mistress would unleash.

No, the girls were risking it all and fighting the master on their own, she had to do her part and make sure Sarah does not interfere, whatever the cost.
Rikke looked up at platinum haired whip wielder obviously another attack was coming. Though if the succubus came closer perhaps she could nail her a swift kick... or if the situation allowed it a half-proper sword attack. But holding down Sarah came first, even if it meant she'd have to suffer some damage.

Jess still watched the events unfold to weak to really be much use to anyone. Gloria and Loria seemed to be hounding the shadowy demon slowly weakening it with repeat thrusts and bludges. Emma let loose another Brillent beam of light right into the master that blew out a section of wall. The shadowy demon writhed and struggled to free himself but to no avail and Victoria's whip seemed to do nothing but snap and crack.

Re: An Easy Score (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Seemed the four girl team was far too much for the demons to handle as all of them had the upper hand throughout the room. The demon struggles and cusses filled the room, as the atmosphere around the place seemed to be ellevating by the minute.

Rikke eyed the battle with Master, if only she could help! As if to return Rikke to her current situation the ship snapped nearby. Seems the platinum succubi struggled to hit just her without inclifcting harm on the held Mistress.
'Eventually she'll hit' and when that happens Rikke knew the pain it would cause on her exposed body won't be something to just shrug off. Besides what if one of those attacks actually knocked the tiara away?!

Rikke sharply eyed her opponent slightly hidding behind Sarah, when she noticed Loria glacing her way. The girls eyes met and their speechless deal was done. "Whats the matter? You were so cock-sure earlier. Can't hit me?" the whipwielders eye slightly twitched, was she actually getting insulted and taunted by this lowly whore! "No wonder you were the second favorite. Jess always was better than you...at everything. Still I guess you're happy, being the rebound of Sarah from Jess." this was obviously the most potent salt Rikke could spill on the succubus pride.

The whipwielding succubus gnarled loudly, now it was personal! Hopefully Rikke could avoid the repercussion of her taunts and give Loria the chance she needed to finish off the rogues oppressor.

Rikke braced herself for the succubus vengeance when the blonde stopped dead in her tracks. Looking down at the short spear protruding from her chest she seemed confused before falling to her knees welcoming deaths embrace. Meanwhile Sarah seemed to have passed out and the big demon seemed to be no longer fighting as well. All had grins as big as dinner plates and only Emma seemed concerned as she began to charge up another volly of spells after blasting another hole in the tower. “YOU MAY HAVE WON LITTLE GIRLS BUT ILL BE BACK YOU CANNOT STOP ME. I WILL RULE THIS PITIFUL WORLD AND I WILL MAKE SURE EVERYONE OF YOU WILL BOW BEFORE MY COCK!” Red hate gleamed in the demons eyes has he began to dissipate his summoner no longer able to focus energies to keep him around. “YOU MAY HAVE WON BUT WHAT IS THE COST OF YOUR VICTORY?” Giving a evil smile right at Rikke a sudden black bolt shot forth right into Jess pummeling her into the far wall with enough force to crack the stone. With that the demon faded from the realm. Diabolic laughter echoing through out the room.

"Jessica!" Rikke quickly threw Sarah, aside completely ignoring whatever state the ex-Mistress was, and rushed to her friends side. The rogue quickly raised the girls head and lightly shaked her "Jess! Jess!", Rikke quickly took out her dagger and with surprising strength freed the restrained Succubus, her arms falling limb as the red hair was still dazed from the impact.

"Jessica!" tears quickly gathered up in Rikkes eyes, as she held the seemingly lifeless body. "Jess, please! We won! You can't!" almost screaming in protest Rikke continued to eyed the girls face as her tears started rolling down uncontrolably "Please don't do this..." Rikke squeezed the girl against her tears running down the succubus cheeks. "R-Rikke?" the rogue quickly moved her back, giving the succubus some room. Finally the females eyes opened up, though she was clearly weakened. "It's me, Jess. I'm right here. We won." the rogue continued to peer into her friends eyes, her tears stopping for the moment as happiness took the overpowering sorrows place. The red haired girl mustered up a smile at her lovers face, as she placed a trembling hand on Rikkes cheek "You're so beautiful..." the red haired girl coughed up a slight amount of blood as her hand slipped off the rogues face. "Don't talk! S-save your strength! Emma and the twins are here! We'll fix you up!".

Re: An Easy Score (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"Emma?.... she was always a nice girl...." Jess cough some more but still tried to smile at the rogue. Rikke had never realized how light and fragile Jess felt. "Rikke I feel cold... will you hold me?" Pulling the battered succubus into an embrace Rikke tried to hold back her tears. "I love you Rikke...." Rikke could almost feel Jess's strength begin to slip away as she started to go limp in her arms. "No no no no hang in there Jess don't leave we won" Rikke could feel the other girls surround her. Even Emma and Sarah seemed to be nearby watching this little drama unfold. "Rikke...... I.....la la love you don't let me go Rikke. Don't le ... let.... me....... go" Jess couldn't talk and her breathing began getting shallower and faster. She wasn't gone yet but no one knew how much longer she had.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: An Easy Score (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikkes lips started to tremble "It's not fair! We won! We won! You can't die. Not now! Not after all this! Jess!" one of the girls gently put her hand on the sobbing rogue "Rikke--"; "Emma heal her! Damnit! Save her!" Rikke looked down tears flowing down her beautiful face "It's--- okay... Rikke-" "It's NOT okay! Not you! Don't!" Rikke couldn't see what the mages reaction was, she didn't relent to just leave Jess now.

"W--we had some fun times didn't" "Stop it." Jessica takes a few breaths before she continues lovingly eyeing the whimpering girl holding her "I was so lonely down here... everyone around was either cruel or corrupt. But then you came..." another cough escapes the downed succubus "Like a radiant sun, to brighten up my lonesome existence. You were so very shy back then." the succubus squezes out a painful chuckle "That maid outfit suited you so well." Rikke looked up to the succubus her eyes soaked as a sad smile dominated her face "You're still the only girl to ever finish the race..." "But I still couldn't beat the championess of the course." Rikke blinked once as a few final tears ran down her cheeks, the rogue sad smile started shivering she couldn't hold back "Please don't--" "Shhh...." Jessica placed her finger on the girls lips, silencing her. "Please could I get... one... last... kiss, my love" Rikke lovered herself to Jess "I'll always be yours... just like you are mine" and the girls kissed, for the possibly last time. A kiss without equals.

 

[ranger]

Re: An Easy Score (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke bent down to kiss Jess's lips deep and passionate but for some reason she couldn't let go. She could feel her own energies draining from her and flowing into Jess. Then it hit Rikke Jess was a succubus who fed off the soul energy of others. She doubt Jess was actively using this power and it was more of her succubus side trying to live. It was dangerous but Rikke didn't care and held the kiss as long as she could before Finally blacking out with the sound of the girls calling her name in concern.

Several Months Later​

Rikke woke to bright light streaming through the windows of her room. It had been several months sense the encounter in the manor and my how things had changed. Despite Rikke's desire to burn the wretched building down the other girls had decided to purify the place and restore it to former glory. It had taken some time but they with a little help from Rikke managed to clear out any other demonic surprises that had been left behind. Of course the Lady and Lady of the house had been very grateful and even rewarded Rikke with new high grade equipment though she might have preferred a lump sum of denari. They also made her a member of the house and official retainer of the Peslis which was all well and good but after a few months the wanderlust that plague Rikke had started to eat at her. She had decided that today was the day she would continue her adventures and had made it clear to Sarah and Emma Pesli that she would be leaving. Emma of course made sure to force Rikke to agree to return in a few months to see her and Sarah's baby when it was born. A promise Rikke was very inclined to keep. Rikke smiled the brief ceremony a few days after the battle was of yet not official but it was merely a formality even with the oddities of the situation. The simple fact that Emma was pregnant was a shock enough but considering the warping nature of demonic energies maybe Rikke shouldn't be so surprised. After all she had her own experiences with Jess that reminded Rikke it was possible for a succubus to impregnate a woman. Her mind now focused on Jess Rikke rubbed the small delicate silver amulet with a tear shaped red jewel in its fitting. The jewel was a drop of Jessica's blood crystallized to protect Rikke from the corruptive influence of her innate magical nature. Smiling sadly Rikke could feel Jess's tail tighten around her waist as if reacting to the pleasant thoughts Rikke had for the succubus. Turning to meet the red headed succubus Rikke placed a kiss on the top of her head. It had been a close call after the battle with the Demon and Jess nearly died but thankfully or was it luckily Jess succubus nature saved her by feeding of Rikke's energies. However it was far from a perfect solution. It saved her life but she was left greatly weakened. She was no longer the powerful succubus she was but a shadow of her former power. Rikke smiled again she wanted to ask Jess if she wanted to come with her but was unsure if Jess would agree. The very thought of the Succubus maid not being with her after months of sharing a bed made Rikke's heart beat faster. But today was the day and she would have to ask her at some point.

Re: An Easy Score (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke slowly entered the manor, the bliding white interior shine britghly reflected in her eyes. It seemed just yesterday the manor had been a haunted ruin, but now look at it. All the walls were scrapped clean of any leftover paint or wallpaper from days of old and repainted a silvery white, all the woodwork had been refreshed or redone entirely and top it all off the chandelier now proudly hanged above the girl. However none of that could match the new painting watching over all whoever enter the manor.

The painting dubbed "The Heroines of House Presli" portrayed none other than the five heroines that banished the evil from this place. The five girls all in a 2x1x2 pattern, the four side-heroines slightly turned to their sides as if to really point out the girl standing in the middle of them. Who was the center stage heroine you ask? None other than the heroic rogue.

Rikke smilled warmly watching over the picture, there was no doubt about just how bias the artist was towards her. While the other girls were painted fairly well, Rikke had been given excessive attention. Every stray hair and minor detail had been captured by the artists greedy eye... though arguably an eye, too greedy, as even from this distance the girl could notice the slight perverse details the artist added to the rogues appearance, obvious hints of hardened nipples, her cleavage seemed ever so slightly exagerated as well as her lips and hips. Still... who could blame the poor guy for having fantasies about her. Ever since she allowed Jess to do all her tailorings the girls outfits had become surprisingly perverted.

The rogue giggled lightly as she remembered when she had to actually put on the dress in the portrait, she still doesn't quite remember how the dress stayed on her - the prominent cut for cleavage going for below even her belly button, her bare shoulders and deep cutouts for her legs. Now that she thinks about it there was hardly any cloth on her at all. But her favorite part was when the dress actually slipped off to reveal her curves to the artist... the poor man had to almost redo his whole work due to the blood rushing out of his nose in sudden exciment.... he did sit in a funny way for the remainder of the session though.

"Still looking at that portrait." Jessica sneaked up behind the girl "A heroine... me.." Rikke continued gazing at the picture. "Not just a heroine... the grand hero of House Presli." the succubus slowly turned the rogue towards her via the hips. "And the greatest lover in Crollia" Rikke smilled at the red haired girl and quickly placed her hands on the lusty succubus. "You think I didn't notice..." Jessicas tail quickly ran under Rikkes short skirt and gently rubbed the girls exposed lower lips "Naughty girl... no panties. Someone wants to be punished again." Rikkes smiled naughtily at the succubus "My turn to pick where."; "Aw~ that's no fair." both girls eyed each other with perverted intentions "Hey I still remember what happened last time", "It was a remote location"; "YOU left the door open for them to see!", "YOUR moans called them to come and look" both girls snickered lightly and kissed passionately as they recalled last time they openly had their fun... all of the workers around the manor came to look over the sight, halting any progress made for quite the number of hours. Jessicas tail slowly started to become more agresive as the succubus was getting her hands in position to grope her eager friend.

When suddenly the front door got kicked open! "OH~ Dun't mind meh. Please continue." Jessica giggled lightly, as Rikke smirked at the man "Groggy..." Seemed none other than old man Brody interupted the girls, a fresh kill still on his back. "No, really I'm bloody curious what ye two do up thar that I have to fix that dang bed every few days." the old man chuckled heartily.
"Is that ye ya bloody old goat!" a sigh escaped Brody as he heard the voice "Don't bloody yell woman! I'm comin'!" a rather plump and aged woman entered the room from the dinning hall entrance. "Well what are ya doing standing aboot here! The kitchens that a-way. Roight beyond the stairway!"; "I know where the bloody kitchen is! This here pray ain't ready yet!" the plump women put her hand on her hips as she eyed Brody "Ye haven't even skinned it yet?!" Brody lowered his gaze slightly as if guilty "I was goin to but---" "But Nothing! I have dinner to serve soon! Now git yer skinny arse out there and get me that meat!"; "Don't ye tell me what ta do woman!" the girls silently continued to look over the scene giggling at the two people argueing infront. The plumper women approached the old man manecingly and gave him a right good bonk on the head with a large spoon "If ye want to eat ye'll do what I say or I'll bloody boil ye a shoe again!" At that moment it was rather obvious who actually wore the pants in that relationship as Brody mumbling slowly turned around and made his way out, the plump women giving him a good kick as if to speeden him up. The girls almost bursted out laughing at how cute the whole situation was, these two oldies were made for each other. In a way they were already a married couple.

"M? Girls! I did not see yers there. The old goats being a idiot again" she smilled at the two succubi holding each other intimately. "Hey miss Genna" two girls seemingly answered at the same time "Oh~ no. Is Genna gonna have to give up all her oil again?" Rikke and Jess glanced over to each other sly smirks crossing each others face. "Maybe not this time, miss Genna."
"Oi! Woman! Where ye put me skinning knife!" Genna sighed slightly and screamed right back "It be where ya put it ye git!" slightly distraught Genna looked at Jess "Jessica be a dearie and watch over the roast, the old goat lost his knife again". Jessica looked over to Rikke and slowly released her from her grip before whispering "We'll finish this later"; "Ofcourse miss Genna".
"I CAN'T BLOODY FIND IT! WHERE YE PUT IT WOMAN!". The older women bowed slightly to the red haired succubus before making her way out to the man calling her "I DIDN'T TOUCH YER BLOODY KNIFE, YE---" rest got muffled to Rikkes ears as the doors to outside closed behind the woman.

Rikke smilled warmly she'll miss all of this, but her adventurous blood called out to her. Now she only had to check up on the twins and Emma... then it'll be time to leave this place for good.

Flaw changes:

Due to recent events Rikke no longer has Cowardly(RP), but gains Idealistic(RP) flaw.

Rikke smiled as she watched Jess move away to the kitchen her hips giving that delightful sway that only she saw. A little flush from her brief encounter Rikke thought maybe one more day wouldn't hurt but quickly pushed it from her mind. She had been saying one more day for two weeks now and she wouldn't be delayed any longer. Deciding finally to let her host know her intent Rikke made her way up the renovated stairs with the statue of Venus and Naya still watching over the stairwell. Making her way up the left branch at the landing Rikke slowly let her feet carry her to the music room on the second floor reminiscing about the four months spent with good friends. Hesitating at the door Rikke was almost reluctant to leave. Everyone had been so nice to her they where almost like family. Knocking gently at the door three times she heard a muffled voice “Come in!”

The old music room had been renovated as well while it still held some of the musical interments namely a large piano it had become more of an arts room well with canvas and paints everywhere. A fairly pregnant Emma sat resting in a love seat while Sarah sat on a nearby stool tending to the large painting that had once graced the entry hall. Sarah's long black hair was tied up in a cute bun and her large leather wings had been suppressed by her shape shifting nature. Sadly her body didn't really recover from the warping demon magics but any of the major mutations caused by the long possession could be easily hid with her abilities. The paining of the original Lord and lady was part way to being restored but far from complete. Emma however had recovered surprisingly well after her exposure to the corrupted circle and when quizzed about it simply explained that Rikke had freed her before most of the mutations took hold. She sat eying Sarah from her seat obvious love and affection in her eyes. Her long platinum colored hair sat loose and free while one of her hand gently rubbed her growing stomach. When Rikke entered a large smile crossed her face. “Rikke you know you don't have to knock your welcome to enter any room you want.” Sarah was silent her brow knitted in concentration over some color mixtures. “Oh don't mind her you know how she gets when she is focusing on her work.” Indeed Rikke knew all to well how Sarah could be completely absorbed into what ever project she was working on so she didn't mind at all. Though today she need to speak with both Sarah and Emma. “Um my Ladies I just came to tell you that..” For the life of her Rikke couldn't spit it out why was it so hard to say. “Both Sarah and Emma shared a knowing smile before looking back at Rikke with Sarah speaking first. “We know Rikke it's okay. Just remember you are always welcome here.” The wandering nature of our dashing heroine just keep in mind your promise to visit us once and awhile and to check up on Melisa” Emma gently patted her stomach. “I thought we decided on Evelynn” “No it was diffidently Melisa.” As the discussion began to get louder Rikke took the time to silently leave. Time to visit Gloria and Loria and say her goodbyes.

Rikke slowly closed the door behind her and leaned her back to it 'Now for the the twins'. Gloria and Loria, had been tending to the new manor guard traininh and the barracks renovation for quite some time. That was probably where she'll find the two girls.

The heroine quickly descended down the stairs and went outside. Well on the brightside seemed that Brody and Genna had already made up already as the old man slowly carried the worked-over flesh. "Oh Rikke! Yer really leavin today?" the rogue smilled gently at the old man and nodded "Mhm~". Brody sighed slightly "An' here ye are not leavin' anything to remember ye with, for poor Ol' Brody" Rikke giggled lightly "Well~ what would you like?" the girl subconciously changed her voice to a more sultry tone, as her hand slightly slipped across her body. Brody's eyes seemingly widened at the question and the girls pose, thinking back, him and Genna were the only inhabitants that haven't had some sexy times with the lusty succubus... perhaps. "Um.. I dunno.. maybe ye could--" Suddenly A rather recognisable huge wooden spoon flew right into the mans noggin "Enough oogling, ya perverted goat. Get that meat in the kitchen!" Genna once more appeared to ruined the old mans potential fun. "Fine! I'm goin, I'm goin." The old man nodded at the girl "Oh~ I don't need nothin' dear. Ye's got an unforgetable face anywho" with a warm smile the man proceeded into the manor.

Genna slowly followed the "old goat" in "Dinner's gonna be ready soon, Dearie." Rikke smiled at the woman "K. Miss Genna." she probably will have to miss the plump womans cooking today. If she stays for the evening she'll never manage to leave the manor.

As Rikke turned the manors corner she could already see numerous men carry wood and push carts around. Looks like the barracks and the servant housing were still very much under reconstruction. The rogue smiled as some of the men seemingly stopped their work to flatout openly stare at her, as she approached the twin girls orchestrating the whole affair. "Soria! Moria!" Rikke never was good with names... "Rikke!" the twins turned to the girl in unison. "How's the work going." the rogue cheeful inquired "Well if Loria";"Gloria listened to me";"We'd be half-";"Finished!" each of the twin crossed their arms and childsihly looked away from her sibbling. Honestly it was like looking at a mirror. "Oh~ you two'll manage." Rikke giggled lightly at the two girl show "Are you really leaving" "Today, Rikke?" a genuinely sad tone took place in the girls voice "I have to girls." the rogue squeezed out a smile, as piece of her slightly cried out every time she had to answer that question. "But you'll come" "Back soon, right?";"Promise" Rikke winked playfully at the twins as they cheered out. Though it wouldn't be a long cheer as a loud thud and yelp pierced the air, seemed one of the workers overdid it with his staring and accidentally dropped his cargo on his friend.

Still this was an excellent distraction for Rikke to make her exit from the twins. "OH and Rikke!";"Jessica wanted to see you!" the rogue waved her hand to the girls "AYE!". She said goodbye to everyone... except for her lover. 'Jess...'

Rikke made her way back to the room she had shared with Jess for the past four months to find the near spotless room nice and tidy obviously the handiwork of Jess as Rikke was more of a free spirit and never did keep a room (even a borrowed one) very organized. Jess was sitting at a low table it seems that she had recently been crying. Approaching her lover Rikke tried to greet Jess in her typical friendly manor but the Succubus maid just smiled sadly at Rikke. “So today is the day..” Rikke sat silently at the small table. “Jess I..” “Its okay Rikke I know if you cage a wild bird it will cease to sing and we can't have that my dear can we.” Jess placed a loving hand on Rikke's cheek sad but genuine smile on her face. “You know we met in this very room and had the time of our lives.” The mischievous twinkle had returned to Jess's eyes. “Oh you.. I also remember a certain potent bottle of wine.” Both girls laughed and it felt good as it eased the tension somewhat. “You know I happen to have two glasses right here.” Jess pulled two new crystal goblets from a drawer. “All I need is a certain naughty girl to “borrow” some wine for us” Jess winked at Rikke before setting the goblets on the table. Rikke smiled the joy of good memories even if at the time where scary as hell. It wasn't to long after Rikke had saved the girls that they explained the Ice elemental was passive and only existed to keep the wine cellar cool and produce fresh. Despite the loads of embarrassment from that fact Rikke still had fun telling the story and even got her revenge on the elemental for fooling her so good. “Sure Jess its been awhile sense we “borrowed” wine from the cellar.” Grinning ear to ear Rikke made her way through the dinning hall passing two of the new maids busy setting the table for a meal. Catching out of the corner of her eye Rikke saw that her typical spot was already set and almost mentioned to the girls that they should just forget it but remembered the last time she had told them to clear her spot Genna nearly boxed her and their ears.

Entering the hall with the wine-cellar Rikke could vaguely hear Genna and Brody sharing one of their rare lovey dovey moments before Brody managed to irk the cook again. Heading down the stairs Rikke remembered her first experience with this room and the evil horror that awaited her. Chuckling to her self as she opened the door Rikke caught a glimpse of the roving elemental. The butler tie and fake mustache she had placed on the lumbering giant made her giggle out loud as she passed. “Don't worry Slick just here for some wine. Don't trouble yourself I can get it.” Walking to the back of the cellar to where the wine was stored Rikke heard a very loud thud. Turning around Rikke saw Slick had sat in front of the door completely blocking Rikke's way out. “Of all the luck! Move you giant block of worthless ice!” Slick just sat its expressionless face and out of place mustache seemingly mocking Rikke. “Come on Slick move please.” The elemental just sat.“Come on I got a hot date waiting for me!” Still nothing and it wasn't long before she started yelling for help and trying to push Slick out of the way. No matter how much she begged or bargained ,threatened or seduced Slick just sat. After a very frustrating two hours in which Rikke had nearly shouted herself horse Slick finally stood up and began to walk his patrol again. Rikke was far from a happy girl as she left the cellar and entered the dinning room not noticing the table still sat perfectly prepared. Leaving the dinning hall and rounding the stairs Rikke got the biggest shock of her life as the whole of the manor waited for her on the stairs and yelled SURPRISE! The rogue holding her hand against her chest as it beat rapidly smiled as all the girls including Jess ran down the stairs and gave her big hug. “You didn't think” “we would let you leave” without a party!” Rikke smiled at the twins they probably had been the instigators of the whole plan to begin with so she rewarded each with a kiss on the forehead which made the two twins turn crimson and giggling as they began to talk excitedly between each other. Lady and Lady Pesli where next. Sarah held Emma's hand as they descended the stairs giving crucial support to her pregnant wife. Both looked radiant in their evening gowns and greeted Rikke with a warm embrace. “You know Rikke I never did get a good chance to thank you for saving Emma from my corrupt self. I shudder to think what would have happened had we caught you or you had run away. So here is my thanks in full.” With that Lady Sarah Pesli grabbed Rikke by the head and brought the rogue forcefully into a deep wet kiss only separating when Emma forcefully cleared her throat. As Sarah and Rikke's lips parted she could feel a sharp pinch on her behind as Sarah winked at her knowingly. Rikke flush with embarrassment was unprepared as Emma in much the same manner as her wife kissed Rikke but without the nice ass grab. Parting their lips Emma spoke. “There now I'm paid in full as well. After all the hero does get a kiss from the damsel in distress.” The greetings and thank you continued on for several minutes and would have gone longer had not Genna rang the dinner bell. As people began to file out to the dinning hall Rikke saw Jess over by the door. Jess was wearing very modest cloths and far more of them than Rikke was used to seeing. She was standing Graceful and elegant but her tail told of her excitement the little bugger almost having a mind of its own. Walking over to the Succubus Rikke saw behind her two backpacks. The question already forming on Rikke's lips was interrupted by Jess blurting out. “I'M GOING WITH YOU!” Shocked at her own volume Jess's pale skin flushed with embarrassment. “I mean I want to come with you if you... want me.”

Rikkes eyes widened with joy as she barely contained herself fromm screaming out 'YES!' right there at the spot. "Well I dunno... a girl like you will steal all the boys looks from me" Rikkes tone gave away her actual decision, as wider and wider smiled started forming on Jessicas face "I'll share." Rikke crossed her arms as she eyed the succubus in amused manor "And we'd be risking out lives every day, eating only what we can steal or come across. We'd have to scrounge through ancient tombs, deep forests and smelly pubs." Jessicas tail started swaying almost uncontrolabaly as all the excitement and joy settled in "Aye!"

"Then I guess I have no other choice but take you along..." A joyous smile formed on Rikke as she jumped Right into Jessicas embrace "Yahoo!" if either of them actually managed to stand still, this would've bene an intimate moment, but right now both girls gleefully jumped around holding each other closely.

"Rikke~ Jessica~ Dinner's ready!" the girls froze for a moment 'Uh-oh" the two succubi looked at each other with comically concerned faces as small murmurings could be heard explaining the situation to the cook "WHAT!" Now was exactly the time to go!

Both of the new adventurers quickly grabbed their backpacks and scurried out of the manor as sounds as if a wild animal quickly charaged towards their previous spot and slightly out the door "You two come back here and eat your dinner THIS MOMENT, you two Brats!" the girls already made fair distance from the plump lady "I'll miss you too, Miss G! And thank you!" Rikke turned around to wave a final farewell to Genna... and well, the manor. Standing at the exact same spot as she first saw the ruin, the girl gave it one more nostalgic look over, gleefully noting all the girls looking at the two adventurers leave and waving their hands.

"An easy score..." The girl giggled lightly "It's never easy." Jessica slowly approached the nostalgic rogue and joined in on the last glimpse "Well then, miss adventurer. What should a starter know about this line of work."
Rikke snickered lightly as both girls turned around and proceeded down the road "Well~ my young apprentice~ First you need to memorise a little something I like to call.. "The Handbook for the Aspiring Heroine"..." Rikke continued naming her imaginary tips to Jess, who seemed rather enthralled by the whole affair, as they made their way to whatever next adventure awaited them just beyond.
