Cost of Magic part two


Chapter Four: Hump in the Night


The young haren, despite the Headmaster's reservation, finally got settled in the dorm room, each of the rooms was on a long hallway that spirals up from the front door so that you're constantly walking up a shallow slope, the rooms across each other with nameplates.  The rooms had a single window that overlooked either the lake surrounding the island the school was located on, or to the innner garden where the teachers and students tend to relax.  As he laid upon the simple twin-sized bed with cotton sheets, he heard a squeak that was not one of metal springs of the frame.  He slowly turns over to get onto his belly and then hangs off the 

The young looking girl then stands up from the floor and jumps onto the bed “Oh yay haven't seen these in so long... I wonder if they still have the cuffs!” she says excitedly before checking the frame “Oh they cut them off....” she sighs in a disappointed tone.  Before Ozy could react to that, she cheered up “Hi, so I'm Lilitha as I mentioned before... and I suppose you're...” she leads a little with her talking.

The young harean leans back “Evidently Ozymandias Draggan...”

Lilitha tilts her head “That's a long name... can I call you Ozy?” she asks as she holds out a hand, the other one on her hip as she seems very brazen with how she's dressed or rather not dressed.  When she notices Ozy looking away, she claps her hand “Oh I get it... you're not used to this are you.” the demon girl says with the energy of a room of children.  She snaps her fingers before the guy could say anything and a dress appeared, ankle length, slightly frilly with a bodice design that is usually held up by friction of the breasts but the girl lack them so she'd claim magic. 

Ozy smiles a little “Yeah you can call me that.  I grew up with the name Valrick but according to the ring it's a much longer name.” he says as he then pulls out the ring and looks it over “So what's the deal with this ring?”

Lilitha looks it over “Oh that's a Solomanic ring.  Right now it's not powered up.” she says as she found the bag and starts munching on the fireblack like it was a snack.   She was halfway done with the small brick when Ozy noticed.

“Hey that's not edible!” he says pulling it out of her mouth and inspects it as the girl giggles a bit, totally oblivious to his concern.  He puts the half eaten brick away and then sighs “Let me guess, if it fits in your mouth it's food?”

The demonic harean nods “Oh yeah we don't need to eat but we do enjoy the taste of food or anything at all that we get into our mouth, Daddy likes keeping a small feast at the ready for visitors.”  she lightly burps a fireball and covers her mouth, “Oh that's neat” she says “I was wondering what that was.  Now I know it's something that easily burns”

Ozy chuckles “It's called 'Fireblack' and it's used to start campfires by rubbing it onto something and then using friction to heat it to ignition”   He then thought back to the candle test “Though that one spell completely dwarfs it.”

Lilitha nods “Oh yeah, by the way I'm a bit tapped so can't do that level of magic for a bit.”

The harean male blinks “So that's what you mean by borrowing your power.  I can cast spells by using your well of mana.”

Lilitha leans back “Close... you say the incantation and I actually cast it... the closer we are the faster I can do it.  Daddy says your mom was so close to him that he already had all the spells she would want prepped and ready to go at the first word”    She then starts looking down “And what she suffered from wasn't what you call Mana sickness... it's soulburn... basically she was channeling so much of dad's magics through her that her body started losing connection to her soul.”  she looks up and then waves her hands frantically “Oh don't worry she's fine, she's with Daddy now learning more about the Void.  That's where what you call Mana comes from.  Everyone can tap into it, demons are able to access more of it safely, you mortals are.. less safe from it.  Most of you don't use enough of it to have issues but overuse causes actual mana sickness.  We call mana 'Akashi' and the most skilled mortals can actually access the well of knowledge within the void, though the mental strain is too much for you to dip into repeatedly.”

Ozy nods as he listens “I see” he says while taking mental notes “You seem knowledgeable for someone so young”

The girl blushes a bit “I'm older than you... but most of us demonics are”  she then lays back “so want to have sex?” she asks shamelessly.

Ozy blinks and then says “no thank you, I want to rest, so come back when your body is bigger” he says as he then puts the coin into the nightstand for now.  As Lilitha starts sprawling out on the bed he pets her head “I want to be alone sorry”

The demon girl nods dejectedly and then walks to the door before gesturing something and it opened to a starscape and hops in literally as the door closes behind her.  

Ozy sighs and lays back “Okay that was a bit intense” he says as his body begins to settle into the soft bed.  The harean then glances at the nightstand where he put the coin.  He didn't have much time to ponder about it and what she was other than a demon connected to his mother somehow.  Sleep took him like a silent thief in the night.

Troubled dreams flashed through his mind, his mother's death, being dragged off to the college before he even had a chance to fully grieve, then finding out his mother was not in Vallana's Great Forest but some demon's realm.  Something disturbed his sleep, something with weight as he opened his eyes to the sight of something or someone with long ears and horns, long ones curling around like a ram's would.  As his sight cleared up more he noticed the red eyes on black orbs staring back at him as his cock was within her mouth, he felt boobs on his thighs.  'Great I've attracted another one, maybe I should have let Lilitha stay if it would...' he thought before the glint of the horn bands and the ear rings in one ear caught his eye.  He starts pushing at her head and she slides her muzzle off his shaft and then sticks her tongue out with an open mouth. 

“Mmmm Tasty” she says sensually, the same whisper he heard in the cave when it asked him his desires.  The demon harean then slides her naked form along his own, her puffy mound pressing to the underside of his cock that had slipped free of the sheath that normally contained it.  Her breasts, the size of grapefruits, were pierced with little gold rings and her wings spread wide behind her, large and the same color as her though the darkness made that harder to see.  The demonic doe slowly thrusts her hips, grinding herself along his shaft and lifts her hips upwards.  Before he could say a word she slid herself onto his cock and he felt the sudden grasp of her velvet passage, feeling what could be described as his strength being drained out with each thrust of her hips.  The demon girl looked to be a solid sixteen years by mortal standards and then an emblem glowed in the dark above her mound which pulsed with the same beat as his heart before her back arches.

“Who are you and what do you want?” he yelled out, or tried to as his voice refused to gain volume as the harean demon doe continued to pump her hips up and down the shaft.  She leans in and kisses his lips which tasted familiar before he pants “I... I have connections Demon!”

She grins and lolls her tongue out “Oh I know Ozy... one is me” she says as the pulsation gets brighter and faster, matching his heart rate perfectly before her vaginal passage twitches some and she trembles.  His body tensed up and he climaxed, pumping hot seed into her depths as that seemed to set her off, moans and her hands grasping his thighs as her body followed his orgasm with her own, panting bit as she slid off his shaft and then wraps her tongue around it as her body caressed his legs and she sucks lightly in delight and cleans him up, “Mmm very tasty” she moans out and then laid herself along his body with a coo of pleasure.

He finally understood, “L-Lilitha?” he softly asks, “Is that you?”

She nods and giggles “You did say come back when I was bigger.” she retorts and cups her breasts in front of his face “And you can see I am bigger now.”   Before he could ask she answered “I went back home to replenish myself, I should take you there sometime.  But I wanted to recover my strength and came back in my more natural form for you... and caught your cock's scent and had to try it.”

Ozy blinks a little. “So it only takes you a few hours to recover?”

Lilitha nods “Well time's a little flexible, I spent a few 'nights' home and talked to your mother, she's doing much better than I thought she would, she and Daddy was having a feast talking about life and about your father.

Ozy suddenly sat up and almost knocked the girl off his body “Wait they were talking about my dad?  Mom never talked about him with me.  She only said that when I got older she would tell me about him and she passed away... Tell me everything!” he says as Lilitha climbs back up onto his body, pressing her upper B-cup breasts to his chest. 

“Oh that's easy, and it's funny because he's....” she starts talking but suddenly her voice cuts out.  She tries repeating herself a few times.  She rubs her throat and says “That's odd, I... I know your father's name is... and that he is living in....”  she says as anything identifying was in silence.  She stands up “I'm a teapot short and stout” she sings and then looks herself over “okay that is weird.”

Ozy tilts his head at this and then pulls his breech cloth back up and slid out of the bed to his feet, soft pattering as he walks to the small box that his mother kept for all his life, sighing at the lock on it, the locksmiths broke every tool they had on it, the mages couldn't get the spells to activate on the tumblers.  Even the Ratfolk's blasting clay couldn't do it, not even a black mark of soot.  The demon girl then looks over his shoulder as she then shifts her form to a semi-feral form, about a foot tall, looking like a rabbit  you would see in a forest other than the fact her hair remained and was long enough to touch the ground if she was on it.  

She rubs her muzzle with her paws and then says “Have you seen your mother open it?”

Ozy shakes his head and starts putting the box back down before the demon rabbit yelled out.

“Ozy the box has Daemoni on it!  Let me read it!” she yelled out before Ozymandias grabs her face and puts a finger up to his lips.  Lilitha nods as she hops onto the box and starts doing a slow circle and then another as she reads each of the lines that spirals inwards.  She then looks up at him “Ozy... it says 'Blood of the chosen, will of the ancients, and the fire from the deepest will open doors and unlock your secrets' on it.”

Ozymandias thought a bit “Okay blood of the chosen... could that be literal? My blood?  Will of the Ancients... not sure what that could be but Fire of the Deepest could only be a demon powered fire spell.”

Lilitha nods “That does make sense.  But what could 'will of the ancients' mean?” she half asks herself before looking the box again “Daemoni is usually pretty specific, but somehow it feels like double speak.”

Ozymandias rubs his cheek and chin a little before saying “hang on... is there a similar word to 'will'  in Demonic? Like willpower.”

Lilitha blinks “willpower is whirnfa... I mean it... used to... be...  the Oldest word for it is Valnar'frah. Val nar frah, Key-soul-want.”

Ozymandias bit his thumb, smearing the blood along his palm and chanted 'frim' which made a small flame appear courtesy of Lilitha.  He grabbed the flame with his bloody hand and then opened it again, a small key in his palm where the blood was.  He then shoved the key into the keyhole and turned it, a click sounding out as the box then opens up, revealing a small book.  He pulled it out and then flipped through the pages, his eyes darting more and more as he looked up at the small bunny with concern. “It's Mom's journal and spell book.”

Lilitha cants her head to the side, “Why do you look worried?”

Ozymandias then turned to one page and turned the book towards her.  “She was researching binding spells that used items... and she was talking about when she was to give birth to her child, she was going to summon the demon and trap him in mortal form” he explains, “And does this look familiar?” he says as the page had a ring illustrated, the solomonic ring but with a different set of runes around the edges.

Lilitha stared at the page and the image.  “Oh Goddess... what was she planning?” she asks before looking in the box again, pulling out a ring, the ring that was pictured and then suddenly dropped it with a wince of pain, the ring clattering and bouncing off the floor before coming to a rest.  “That hurt... that actually hurt.... how can it hurt?”

The harean boy picked the ring up and looked at it “It's the enchantments, I recognize 'Finite', 'mortal', 'linear', and 'limitation' here.” he says as he then turned the ring around and then pulls out the Solomonic ring, sliding the larger one on top of it, “I think she fashioned this and then drained the ring he gave her of all the magics to empower this one.” 

The smaller demon bunny then slid down Ozy's back and landed on the ground before hopping up onto the bed literally.  She then laid on her side and pats the mattress “Want to join me? I think you might like using me like a toy in this form.”

Ozy blinks a bit “Yeah... no... no.” he says as he sat down and grabbed Lilitha's diminutive body and set her on his lap belly down and began petting her like a pet rabbit, the animal form of the harean body type.  He heard a soft purr and moan as he looked down at Lilitha spreading herself along his lap with a grin on her face.  He lifted his hand up and blushed “Oh sorry about that... not sure why I did such a thing.”

She turned belly up “I didn't say you had to stop.” she says winking as she lifted both legs up and spread them open to reveal the slit and the marking above it.

He frowned a little and slapped her with a pair of fingers “Not like that” and then blushed deeper as he realized he just spanked her puss as punishment.

The rabbit formed Lilitha turned over with a 'yes master' and turned into her young anthro form, the eight year old and flicks her wings, her tail wiggling as Ozy then slapped her butt as if he didn't have the will to not do so.  The demon rabbitgirl yeeps and giggles, wriggling a little on his lap as she seemed to be enjoying it.  He continued to slap her buttocks before grasping one of her wings at the base, not a tight grip but enough to keep her still.

“I'm not sure if I'm punishing or rewarding you,” he says as he continues, smacking harder and harder as she starts crying out, “I mean you seem to be enjoying this too much” he noticed as her thighs started glistening with some juices and then shoved her to the bed, pulling his breech cloth off  his hips, his cock already hard and twitching to the sight of Lilith's naked young body.  

He growls a bit as he then got behind her, grabbing her wrists to pull her back as her torso hit the bed, his cock pulsing harder before leaking precum onto her rear, “Take this you little fucking slut!” he says almost surprised that left his lips as he thrust himself into her ass, spreading the pucker without warning and without lube as she suddenly screamed out wordlessly as he got about an inch or two into her and began to thrust in and out, driving deeply into her young tight ass and then crosses her wrists behind her, saying 'Binding' and a band of light appeared, keeping her wrists together as the light dimmed to something like cloth and grasped it firmly in one hand as he covered her mouth with the other.  He continued to thrust in and out, feeling her snug hole hugging his cock as he raped her then and there, overcame by lust for some reason.  

The demon bunny moans out into his hand and trembled, climaxing quickly and the symbol above her pubic area glowed and pulsed, getting brighter by the moment and flashing when she hit her peak which she did several times.  Tears fell from her eyes as she felt the burning sensation of her ass being raped without lube if you didn't count the precum that he drooled onto it.  She wriggles and writhes before falling limp in his grasp and felt the harean suddenly cumming, flooding her ass and passages within with his seed.  She trembles and moans into his hand as her limp body couldn't do anything even if she wanted to do so.   When he pulled out her ass winked and drooled his seed over her mound and then down her thighs.  She blushes and smiles at him when he pulled his hand back and then says “Oh Goddess below that was better than I thought it would be... I didn't know you had it in you!” she cried out still bound.

Ozy pants a little as he then laid down next to her and pulled her against his body, leaving her bound and then growls “You wanted me to join you... consider yourself joined” he says as he starts rubbing her chest and tugs a little at the rings in her nipples before falling asleep with her in his arms.



Chapter Five: Aftermath

Dawn broke and there was a knock at the door.  Ozy woke up suddenly and found the demon harean girl with him. “Okay thought that was a dream... guess not” he says as he slipped out of bed and left her laying there still drooling his seed out though she moves a bit to a kneeling position and began to lick up his seed.   He tilts his head before the knocking sounded again, causing him to return to the present and opened the door “Oh hello... can I help you?” he asks as he looked out into the hall to a pair of Badgen paladins bearing spears.  The harean male got a little worried before one spoke.

“Headmaster deigns to have you in his office for breakfast, he's also sending a message out to all students to stay inside as he heard a wild beast on the grounds howling.” the left one said before the right one continued “Do be sure to return to your room by nightfall, we can't be responsible for the students getting harmed by whatever hadren-beast is out there.”

Ozy nods “Oh okay, I'll be sure to be in my room by then.”  he then closed the door to seeing Lilitha kneeling with her thighs wide on his bed, blushing and smiling widely.  He looked at her before noticing her gaze towards the night table.  He followed her eyeline to the table and noticed a black collar on it which had gold glowing runes along the length of the ring.  He lifted it up and looked at her who had lifted her chin up and to the side.  He shrugs “Okay I'll bite” he says as he puts the collar on her neck and clicked it closed which a bit of smoke erupted from the point of connection and a ring formed and he hooked a finger into it, “Oh this is interesting... I suppose you want me to have fun before you eat my soul?”

Lilitha shakes her head “No we don't eat souls!  Nothing to taste, nothing to fill us, I prefer something else of yours” she says as she leans down and nuzzled along his cock that barely poked out of the sheath and she started licking it like a treat.

He pats her head “Let me eat first... then I might have something for you.”

She giggles “No rush... I had my fill last night of your seed... Goddess below that was a rush.”

He could only chuckled “I think you're a corrupting factor.”


Back in Asmodai's realm the demon is watching the material world from the orb in which he was sitting at and rubbed his eyes “Oh Goddess below.... I'm going to need to have a talk with her about that”

The harean woman enters, naked and with wet fur, drying her hair with a towel “Oh what did she do?  I know you seemed to enjoy the show last night... sorry I couldn't' bring myself to watching my son but from what you said, your little girl seems to be developing her powers as a succubus type.”

He nods a little “Yeah she got him to use her firmly and he even used a binding spell”

“Oh demonic chains or something?” she asks as she sat down on the towel and began brushing her fur with a gold brush.  “I'm sure she had something like that.”

Asmodai shook his head “No, he used more mundane magic, silk ribbon binding” he says “That should make you happy.”

Alicia blinked a little “Wait what?” she asked as she lunges over the table and looked into the orb “Are you saying he tapped into magic that isn't her?”

He nods “Yeah he found a cute little silver ring and is pulling from it.”

She looked up “ring ring... the one I gave him is drained.. nothing in.... there... Oh fuck me the box... I forgot to bury that before I got sick!”

The demon nods and laughs “Yeah the one you had me make to hold something... you had plans to bind me into a mortal life didn't you?”

The woman blushes a little “I... I was... I didn't know if...”

He puts a finger to her lips “I am amused that you had that plan.  I doubt it would have worked but I am very much amused that you even thought of it.” the demon says with sincere admiration “Right now he's draining it but he doesn't know it yet.  Not even my daughter is aware of it.”

Alicia blushes a bit “Well glad you're not angry about it.” she says sitting down “But I can't help but to think you're not going to let it  slide”

He nods “That's perceptive of you” he says snapping his fingers and a shadowy figure appeared from the floor and then pulls a gag into her mouth, tying it on her as another used shackles to bind her arms to the chair she was sitting in.  “I'm going to punish you by making you watch the event last night.”

Alicia shuddered and struggled against the shackles as the figures, nondescript past being shadows held her head towards the orb and held her eyes open as she yells through the gag “Asmodai you bastard!”


Chapter six: Feeding the Mind.

Ozy got dressed in the robes provided and exited the room, looking back to Lilitha “I want you to stay here, if I need you I will summon you” he says “But I don't think the headmaster is going to do anything like that.”   

He leaves the room and strolls at his own pace to the Doeven's room, almost palatial in design and the headmaster was sitting at a table, a couple of plates of eggs and toast before him.  The harean nods a greeting “Morning Headmaster” he says as he enters and then sat down.

The headmaster nods “Morning Ozymandias.  I hope you slept well, we seemed to have a hadren-beast around and will be having the guards hunt it down.”  he says as he starts eating, “But I didn't have you brought here for that... I have to admit I don't know how you're cheating but I know you're Nullin and don't have access to magic.  We haven't found how you're doing it but I can prove you're cheating with this.” he says picking up a stone and throwing it at Ozy.

Ozy caught the stone and then looked at it, the dull gray surface suddenly turning a yellowish color, almost glowing.  As he set the stone down he says “I'd like to know what-” he was saying before getting interrupted.

“Wait that can't be right... it's showing the magic signature of Holy magic.” the headmaster says adjusting his glasses and looking at Ozy.  “You can't use that magic with any sort of charm... That's Celestial magics that only a cleric can do... who was your father?”

Ozy sighed “My mom never told me.  Not even my friend could tell me even though she heard his name.” he grumbles “I'd like to know myself” he says before pulling out the tiny book he got from the box “But Mom did write about this Aldren person several times... Aldren of Alvalon”

Delven coughs nearly spitting out the tea he was drinking but only drooled a bit out one side of his mouth, “Hold on there... Aldren of Alvalon?  The Aldren of Alvalon that fought the Demon Emperor with your mother?”

Ozy shrugs “I don't know... she never talked about that with me.  Told me that she would when I got older but she turned sick before then... and she didn't tell me before she passed.  I only know what she wrote in this book” he says holding it up.  He then put the book down onto the table in front of himself, “But according to it, she had a few nights with him while camping out.  But who is he and why are you so wound up about him being in my mom's journal?”

Delven wiped his mouth off, “Aldren von Algorn... His mom must have loved alliteration... I digress... Aldren von Algorn of Alvalon was a battle mage of renown in his nation, he could use holy magic to a point that we thought he would take on the Demon Emperor by himself and win.  He vanished after the defeat of the demon and no one's seen him since but his ring was found at the temple he served.”

Ozy looked down at his plate “I see... what sort of stories do you have about him?”

The headmaster sighed a bit, “Many but most seem to be legends and overblown tales.”  He then stood up dusting the toast crumbs off his robes and then leans over the table, snatching the book up and began to read it.  Minutes went by without much so much as a sound from the headmaster before he set it down and pushed it back to Ozy.  “Could I ask one question?”

Ozymandias nodded as he drank the provided fruit juice and pulled the mug away from his lips “By all means, that might help answer my own questions” he said with a slight sigh.

Delven puts his forefingers to his lips and then turned his wrist to point the pair  towards the young harean, “When did your mother teach you Daemoni?”

Ozy blinked and looked up at him.  “I don't... she didn't... I mean I was told the box had Daemoni writing on it but I couldn't read it at all and had to have someone translate it!” he said sharply as he pushed himself from the table in anticipation of a fight.

The Headmaster held up a hand “No, I'm not desiring a fight and if what I'm thinking is true... you'd kill me with one spell... and not even the one you demonstrated at the opening test.” he says with a tired tone, “No I'm thinking that you're channeling something more powerful than I.  And I really do not want to see the limits of it in such a tight room.  But I am curious about one thing... could you cast 'Restaga' on that gem?  It can detect several magics and I think you're hiding something bigger than the Demon you summoned.” the Doevan says as he starts pacing a little.

Ozy blinks a little as he looks around, not seeing the demon rabbit around and says “Restaga.”

The pair stared at the black stone, the shine on it being only the reflection from the mageflame in the wall lanterns.  Ozy looked up at the headmaster who seemed more and more disturbed as it didn't react.  The doevan toyed with the rings on his antlers, tugging and growling as he suddenly held his hand up.

“Ver'Fla'Gra!” and a flame appeared in front of his hand and aimed it straight at Ozy's head “I don't know what you are or what you have planned for this beloved institution but I will not have you tearing it down for your perverse entertainment!”  

Ozy flinches and held his arms up, hoping to at least block some of the fire when it left the headmaster's hand, the flaming orb shooting rapidly across the long table and searing the paper.

“NO!” screamed a voice, one of a young girl.  Darkness suddenly enveloped his body, gravity vanishing and then air.  The breath he wanted to take was forcefully pulled out of his lungs as his eyes suddenly widen and he landed on the rippling, water like matter that made up the ground that he landed on, if the air wasn't pulled from his lungs before, the impact certainly would have done so.  The room that he beheld was one of stone and gems and gold.  Silver accents everywhere as he saw Lilitha's face, the one he saw at the festival, his age and with a look of absolute terror, as she knelt beside his prone body.  He opened his mouth to draw a breath but nothing was there.  He turned his head to the right and sitting in a chair at a long table was a male harean... but one with horns and wings, looking like an older male version of Lilitha.  He grasps his throat to wordlessly announce his inability to breathe as his head tipped upwards and he saw his mother, it felt like so many months since that day he lost her even though her funeral was only a week after her passing.  He thought about the day his life turned upside down, being dragged off to the college of magic, the day he saw that statue.  The statue that put fear into him.  That statue looked just like the older demon.  Could it been the demon's shrine he delivered the pendant to return it.  His sight started darkening as he suffocated in the airless room.

“OZY!” the harean female screamed, her voice ringing far clearer than it should as she ran over and fell to her knees.  “Asmodai please save him!  He's dying” she said as tears started streaming down her face though none hit his face as they fell from hers.  He reached up to her as she continued to beg “I can't lose him like this... he's not even had his first adventure!” she cried out.

The demon looked at the trio on the floor and shook his head “Not my problem... you should be talking to my daughter who stole him out from under me” he says as he gestures towards the young demon doe.   He then stood up and started turning away when his ears twitches and looked at the prone male with a look of pity that seemed far too real to Ozymandias.

“Breathe, Young One!” a voice erupted from the darkness and a brilliant light shone, illuminating the entire room in a way that devoured the shadows everywhere like the light was a liquid that filled every space available.  Above Ozy stood a doevan female, one of brilliant white fur with golden highlights.  Her head was decorated by a helmet with false antlers of gold.  Her body clad in armor of gold and silver and erupting from her back was a pair of silver tipped white. wings.  “Breathe and Rise... I Command you!” she said in a voice that seemed to almost make the world quake.

The Harean opened his mouth and air rushed in, filling and flooding his lungs again, his sight returning to full as he sat up almost like there was no choice in doing so.  As his body continued moving without his will, he saw the Doevan sheathing a sword and removing her helmet, turning to his mother and scoffs “So this is your new toy?  Is this what entertains you these days My Love?” the woman said in a haughty and rough tone of voice. He watched her turn to Lilitha and was about to yell out when the winged deerfolk suddenly opened her arms and grabbed the little demon in her arms, hugging tightly, “Hello my girl.  I take it you brought him here?  You should not have, mortals cannot be here” the doevan said before she then turned to the demon Asmodai “The room, is it still there?”

Asmodai nodded without a word and then walked towards Ozy and grabbed him by the front of his robe, lifting him like a bag and then carried him face up to a room with a bed, dropping the poor harean onto it and then points to the bed “Rest... I'll have Lilitha bring you food shortly, I suppose you have questions but those will have to wait.” and then turned to leave the room though the opening towards the room he was in before.

Before Ozymandias could open his mouth, his mother ran in and fell over him “Thank Alkesh you're alive!  I was so worried you weren't going to live.  What was she thinking bringing you here?” Alicia said through her near crying state and then looked down “oh I suppose I should change.” she says as she then covers her chest which was bared to the world, only a slit skirt covering her butt and front.  

Ozy blushes a little “I... I missed you Mom... but where.... where are we?  And why couldn't I breathe?” he asked and sat up to hug his mom tightly.  He looked over and saw the doevan coming in with Lilitha in tow, the young girl carrying a plate with some cut fruit and a cup of something.  

The doevan was dressed differently, no longer in the armor she was clad in before but a flowing dress of white with gold colored accents, her head topped with a short crown of silver with holy symbols around it.  The doevan then knelt down, smiling and then reaching up to Ozy's face.  The harean braced for more of the same booming voice but what came forth was softer, gentle and melodic in nature.  She kisses the harean's cheek softly “Sorry about earlier.  My daughter did not realize mortals couldn't breathe or even needed to breathe as she doesn't... and my Love doesn't either but he should have stepped in to help.  I think he wanted to watch Lilitha suffer a little for forming that contract with you instead of his.” she said with the most soothing voice he ever heard.  She then turned his face towards her and kissed his lips, a rush of something rushing past them and into his lungs, feeling like a warm fire and tasting of fresh baked bread.  “There, now you should be able to leave this room after you recover.  Oh and my name is Eliara'tu'Lumina.  But Eli is enough for me, welcome to My Love's and daughter's home.” she says as she stood back up, the robe like gown barely concealing the doevan's body, her breasts a sizable D-cup if he had to guess.  

Ozy nods a little “Th- Thank you... but what happened?”

Lilitha grabs a slice of fruit and shoves it into his mouth “Oh the bad man tried blowing your head off your shoulders.  I saw the hole in the wall that it left after hitting.  I don't think even my protection spells could have stopped it.” she says as Ozy chewed on the food and nods a little “But thankfully I was there to pull you home and now you can meet Daddy and Mommy!” she says getting excited at the last part.  The young demon rabbitfolk then stood up on the bed, still naked as a jaybird and begins dancing a little before Eliara pulled her off the bed and sets her down.  She then giggles “Mommy's a Celestial! She's got pretty wings don't you think?” she said cutely as she returned to dancing as she seemed happy.

Eliara nods a little “I am.  And she's half celestial and half infernal.” the doevan celestial explained “I know it seems strange that I am attached to that demon but it's a long story.”

Lilitha chirps up “Oh tell him the story., I love hearing it myself” she says as she bounces on her toes.

Eliara nods “Later, right now I think he should rest, I mean the story is very long and he does need to return to the mortal world soon.  But Ozy do answer me one question, where did you get that ring you're wearing?”

Ozy looked down at the ring and sighed “I... Lilitha called it a Solomonic ring, it's the ring Mom had me return to the shrine after her death... but then it suddenly erupted in light and the name inside changed to mine... my true name that is.” he said as he pulled it off and turned it around to show it off.

Eliara grabbed it and inspected it. “This shouldn't... hold on” she said as she then suddenly pulled the rings apart, separating the pair and growls “Okay, This” she says holding up the one with Ozy's name in it, “Is the Solomonic ring.. but this thing... this is brimming with stolen magics.  Stolen Celestial magics”   She handed the smaller of the pair back to Ozy as she inspects the other one “Binding the darkness into the finite, living in the mortal life of linear time and the limitations of it.” she says reading the runes that was inscribed upon it.  “I would ask why you would make such a thing but I know you're not even able to write half of this” she says before looking over at Alicia “You on the other hand... I know you're able to not only write this crap but would have a reason to.”

Asmodai nods “Oh yeah, she had a brilliant little idea to trick the Demon Emperor into wearing that ring to bind him into mortality so that paladin she was with could stab him and put his reign to an end.” he then stretches “But two things prevented it, one, the paladin died at the battle of Vrench and fell into the crevice with his dying breath and two... The Demon Emperor was just something I made to keep the mortals from tearing each other apart but giving them a source of strife to fight against together.”

The celestial nods and smiles “I see... so you already knew of the plan when she hatched it... I'm glad you didn't put this on but Hadren damnation do I think this was a good idea to try” she says as she then puts the ring into a small box on the table near the bed “So what paladin was it?  I'd like to find his body and return it to his home town.”

Asmodai nods slightly “Aldren von Algorn of Alvalon.  He was a wonderful guy for her after her husband Gregory died years before. I knew him as a knight of renown.”

Eliara dropped the piece of fruit she was chewing on and looked at her lover “Wait what do you mean Aldren von Algorn?  No that can't be him.” she says.

The demon shrugs “Well that's what he called himself, wish I had a chance to spar against him, that sword of his was neat, 'Duskbringer' he called it.”

Eliara stood up from the edge of the bed “Duskbringer is his sword, I made it for him myself so that he could darken the area to use a few of his spells better.  But I gave him that sword more than eight hundred years ago, before the war between the Hadrenborn and Havenites... He died in a war near Alvalon defending it.”

The demon and celestial doevan looked over towards Ozy and then to each other before turning towards his mother Alicia with a look of absolute concern.  

“I know he's dead, I buried him myself in the cemetery at the Church he served.  Buried deeper than I am tall in hallowed ground and a stone block over it.” the celestial doevan said as she stared at Asmodai, “It... cannot... be... Him”

The demon harean shrugs “He went by the name and called his sword Duskbringer.  He died and I buried him at the edge of the woods near his hometown.  I would have brought him to the church to be properly buried with honors but he wanted to be closer to the home he knew.”

The pair started talking in a language Ozy and his mother didn't know.  They were arguing in Celestial before the doevan slams her hand to the table “I will not hear about this impostor, I don't care how much magic he could cast, I watched him die to a demon spear over fifteen of their generations ago.” she yelled while pointing to Ozy and Alicia.   Lilitha finally tugged at her mother's outfit with a look of concern and the woman calmed down “Sorry about that, I... I should not be this angry and I am not angry at you or your father.  I'm not even angry about the mortals getting involved... I just don't like the idea someone stealing my dear friend's identity.”

Lilitha nods and smiles “Okay how about telling them how you and Dad met?” she asks with a giggle.  

Eliara shakes her head “maybe after he comes back properly under your hand.  But before the woman returns to the weave of life.” the celestial commented before looking over at Ozy, “What I don't understand is... who is his father really if this impostor was the one.” 

What passes for night fell and Ozy finally fell asleep while the other three figures talked at length about him and his history while he recovered from the ordeal of nearly dying.
