WLC 2.D: The Shadow Queen

A few hours after having entered the tower, Ling realizes that her split party never established an exit strategy, nor a means of communication. For a wizard, this is an embarrassing oversight.

Getting her things together, Ling attempts to sneak through the dark halls, but is quickly grabbed by a shadow and dragged into a new location.

Ling now stands in a decently decorated throne room. Crystal sconces and chandelier shine faint light. A lovely carpet stretches from the large door behind her to the cushioned throne ahead. Barely visible to Ling, sits the Shadow Queen; an usually pale busty elf-like being in a black slit dress with opera gloves. Her long curly hair is intricately woven.

"G'day," says Ling, "Mind giving a light?"

"Why are you in my house?" ask the Shadow Queen as the darkness in the room thickens, "Explain yourself."

"Ya got it," says Ling, leaning her body slightly, "I'm a scholar and I came to propose a business venture to ya."

"And you came alone?"

"...No," says Ling, "Had a friend, a priestess of Vanessa."

"Just one?" The Shadow Queen rocks back and forth, "Don't lie to me."

"I'm not lying."

Claws take form amongst the darkness and lunge at Ling. She skitters away. She rolls and hops about away from the constant barrage. Ling pulls rock from her bag and charms it to shine brightly. The shadows recede and the Shadow Queen growls.

J: We know her name's Melandria; stop calling her the Shadow Queen.

"You think that parlor trick will save you," she yells as the shadow limbs long steel polearms and bows and arrows. The solid weapons are unimpeded by Ling's light and force her to continue dodging.

As she dodges, Ling gets a better look at the elf-esque being. Her ears are small and round. If her hair wasn't black, Ling would assume she was albino.

"Who does your hair?" asks Ling, skittering up the wall desperately avoiding arrows... or at least, looking desperate. "Is it dyed?"

L: Obviously, I cast a wind shield as soon as I had seen the bows.

"What? Yes, but- No one, I d-" Melandria stops herself, "Stop talking to me, you, weird lizard."

"Gecko, actually," says Ling jumping into Melandria's face, "So what are you?"

The woman on the throne pauses, as do her weapons. The gecko's eyes are fixated on something just under her eyes. "What are you doing?"

"Got to be blunt, mate," Ling shakes her head, "You look sick."

"It's a skin condition," says Melandria, "I'm al-"

"Albino, I figured," says Ling, "But that's not it. Ya're malnourished, starving even." She grabs Melandria's hand. "What have ya been eating?"

Melandria pulls her hand away and conjures a piece of bread. "I have plenty of food. I'm strong enough to feed myself."

Ling pulls a potato out from her pouch. "Eat this."

Melandria balks at the tuber.

"I'm a doctor," says Ling before Melandria can speak, "If ya've only been eating mana manna, ya're going to rot away inside out."

Melandria warms the potato and rips it open. With a conjured fork, she begins eating.

"First saw this back at wiz school during the Great War," says Ling, "Spellies eating their own mana's no healthier than eating their own skin. And that's true even for one's that know healthy eating." Ling watches Melandria shovel food into her mouth. "Which most don't."

"Name's Melandria and I'm human," she says in between bites of food, "Since you asked."

"From the surface, eh?" Ling smiles. "My mum's from there."

Most often the use of manna refers to the bible. What the israelites ate

yeah, i'm sure that "manna" most often refers to the manna mentioned in the bible/tanakh/quran. i don't have any stand in that matter and that's why i'm speaking about mana, a completely unrelated concept to manna with a different spelling that frequently gets appropriated and misused.

Not its light. But the bells chime in his molecules, so he is treated carefully.

Fileted, separated, and set to dry age. Soft organs will make for good sausage but the rest should be a decent steak.

It'll pair him with a very sweet red wine. And maybe some roasted manna, if it can get ahold of any.

Bob Venosa - Mana & Manna - Big O - 1978

[scripture-pictures]

[howlingday]

Jaune go's to a monster school au. He is a Human aloud to go because his family His ability and his abundance of Mana. He was never that how to use it the So, despite getting similar results to other students, he uses absurd amounts of manna on stuff that really should abuse that much. Weiss is a vampier, rwby werewolf, yang a dragon, penny a golem, Blake is a werecat, Ren a ghost, Nora a Valkyrie, pariah is a demigod daughter of Aries.

Jaune: Hi, I'm Jaune. Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, and rolls of the tongue. The ladies love it~.

Jaune: ...Okay, maybe they don't now, but they will! Anyway, that's not what I wanted to talk about. See, I kind of need to vent, and this is the only way I really can.

Jaune: But what do I have to vent about? I have a great family, a lot of great friends, and a bright future ahead of me! I just... have to survive until I reach it.

Jaune: ...Let me start over. My name is Jaune Arc, the only son born to the Arc family, who are one of the few families on Remnant with access to mana, or magic. I'm not very good at it, but I'm good enough to not be allowed to go to normal, regular people school.

Jaune: So that's why I'm attending Beacon's Light Academy of Magic, which was explained to me at one of the four "Great Mage" academies in Remnant, along with Atlas's Might, Haven's Garden, and Vacuo's End. It's not so bad so far, since I'm learning a lot at Beacon with my best friend, Ruby Rose.

-------------------------------------------

Jaune: What's for lunch, Ruby?

Ruby: (Sniffs) Mm... Beef...

Jaune: What else?

Ruby: Uh... I don't know. Why? The only thing you need to eat is beef, pork, and chicken, right?

Jaune: Uh...

-------------------------------------------

Jaune: See, Ruby is a werewolf. Yeah. You heard me. Half-human, half-wolf. I don't really know what the story is, since I don't really pry into her business, but Ruby basically has what's called "primal mana," which is magic based on tapping into your most base instincts and emotions, like fear, anger, and hunger. She's usually cool, except on the days that have full moons later that night, then she gets super irritable. She can still go to day classes, but she has to go to the safety bunker before... Well, based on the claw marks I see getting fixed the next morning, it's something super bad. Like, so bad, Weiss can't go to her night classes.

Jaune: Oh, speaking of Weiss, she's also my friend, and I kinda have crush on her. ...Okay, she's not really my friend yet. More of a friend of a friend. But I'm getting there, I think. But it might be best for me to keep my distance from her because the reason I can only see her so few times is because...

-------------------------------------------

Jaune: Oh, uh, h-hey, Weiss!

Weiss: For the love of... Good morning, Jaune.

Jaune: So, uh, how... How were your classes?

Weiss: Fine, Jaune.

Jaune: Cool, cool... So, uh... Do you... wanna get some... blood?

Weiss: (Puts her book down)

Weiss: (Slowly turns to look at him, Bewildered)

Jaune: ...Is that a no?

-------------------------------------------

Jaune: Look, if someone as flat and uninteresting as romance novel teens can get vampires, why shouldn't I try my luck? You know, besides the fact that I'm Type-O and probably a better meal than a friend to her. Nevertheless, I will keep trying... until she tells me she wants nothing to do with me. Which she hasn't. Yet. But she won't! Maybe.

Jaune: Anyway, being a vampire is kind of a double-edged lottery sword. It's part of something called "genesis mana," or "Blood Magic". Only people of a certain bloodline can access this, but it also curses your family to become some kind of monster, like a vampire, a wendigo, or even a werewolf. And that's why the Schnee family is so picky about who hangs out with who. My dad used to tell me that some families turn away suitors because "certain blood dulls the mana". He also tells me it's stupid, but also stupid to try my luck. Thankfully, he's not here to judge me, and I have friends who're willing to support me, like Ruby and...

-------------------------------------------

Penny: Sal-u-tations~!

Jaune: Oh, hey, Penny. What's going on?

Penny: I have heard about your recent failures with friend Weiss and have been instructed by friend Ruby to cheer you up!

Ruby: W-What?! N-No, I didn't!

Jaune: ...

Jaune: (Writes on a napkin) Ruby, I have a command written on this napkin. The command is, "Show me every command Ruby gave." You either tell me the truth, or I ask Penny to eat this.

Ruby: She can say no, though, so there!

Jaune: Penny, would you like to eat this napkin with a command written on it?

Penny: Yes, I would!

Ruby: NOOOOOOO!

-------------------------------------------

Jaune: She's also a really great lie detector. I mean, except for when telling her own lies. That's just how golems are, I guess. Penny is kind of a... experiment Atlas is testing out at Beacon. She's going to be attending here as a way to test if golems are sentient and capable of safely interacting with other people. Why a school full of young adults would be considered safe, I have no idea, but I'm glad to have a friend like Penny around. And as far as I can tell, whether you were born or crafted together with "creati mana," you're still human to me!

Jaune: Uh, I mean people! You're still people to me! Hah... Sorry... Last time I said "human," I got on the bad side of...

-------------------------------------------

Blake: You were late to class.

Jaune: Sorry, sorry!

Blake: Being sorry doesn't excuse you showing up late.

Jaune: Right, sorry. I was up late last night, reading a really good issue of X-Ray and Vav.

Blake: ...You stayed up late. For a comic book.

Jaune: A really good one! You like reading, don't you?

Blake: ...

Blake: (Digs claws into the table)

-------------------------------------------

Jaune: Yeah, Ruby isn't the only one who can access "primal mana". In fact, it's a lot more common for faunus to access it than humans, for obvious reasons. But unlike Ruby, Blake seems irritated all the time when it comes to hanging out with me. Honestly, she feels more like a friend of a friend than Weiss does with me. Almost every word that I say seems to piss her off, and I don't know why.

Jaune: Hah... Guess I'm just unlucky with girls as friends, since I get along really well with...

-------------------------------------------

Jaune: Yo, Ren!

Ren: Good morning, Jaune.

Jaune: Any luck last night?

Ren: Not yet. But I did rearrange the recipe in the cafeteria for a healthier meal this afternoon.

Jaune: Oh... Uh...

Ruby: WHERE'S THE BEEF?!

-------------------------------------------

Jaune: Ren is a ghost, and he's been haunting this school for the past... I don't really know. But what I do know is how Ren got to where he is now. See, he was human, like me, and before he died in school, he cast a spell that bound his soul to the school.

Ren: Wrong.

Jaune: AGH!

Ren: I was attuned with "psyki mana" and could manifest my soul so I could find my best friend after I died. We were supposed to graduate, but when I finally came to life, she'd already left without me.

Jaune: Wait, you didn't cast a spell or anything?

Ren: In order for me to cast, I would require access to my aura, which was lost in my final moments. But my soul is still present, though it requires time and effort to manifest.

Jaune: ...

Ren: You can just say you don't know.

Jaune: I don't know. But, uh, were you able to get into the office?

Ren: No. Access to the office is protected from every mana variant known to Remnant. Nothing magical in nature, including a ghost, can enter.

Jaune: Geez, that's rough. You know who might be able to help?

-------------------------------------------

Nora: Alright, alright, what's going on now?

Jaune: Uh, well, I was just making my way to class when suddenly-

Nora: Were you attacking this poor girl?!

Jaune: What?! No! It's the other way around!

Nora: HA! Yeah, right! Look at you! You're twice her size and SHE attacked you?

Ruby: You stole my comic book!

Jaune: I did not!

Nora: Oh, really? Hand it over, kid.

Jaune: But-

Nora: HAND. IT. OVER.

-------------------------------------------

Jaune: ...On second thought, nevermind. Valkyries aren't really that helpful, are they?

Ren: It depends on what the situation is. If it's in response to a violent crime, they are merciless and will do whatever it takes to protect the innocent in the magic realm.

Jaune: But if it's a petty crime?

Ren: They... can be a bit biased in who they assist. Unless their opponent is a hostile monster with a weapon, they're not good with delegation and diplomacy. But they do care.

Jaune: Well, you could always ask one, right?

Ren: Unfortunately, no. Valkyries are protected by a specialized armor that prevents the effects of mana. A ghost like me can't even be seen by them, let alone get near one.

Jaune: Dang... Well, best of luck to you.

Ren: Thank you. Also, before I leave, I was asked to find you.

Jaune: Really? By who?

-------------------------------------------

Jaune: Uh, h-hi...

Pyrrha: H-Hi...

Jaune: ...

Pyrrha: ...

Jaune: So, uh-

Pyrrha: DADDY, NO!

Jaune: Wha-?

Jaune: (Sees giant boar barreling at him)

-------------------------------------------

Jaune: Ugh... Great... You ever heard of helicopter parents? Well, with someone like Pyrrha, her helicopter dad comes equipped with a rocket launcher and twin machine guns. And a hatred for any boy that gets close to his daughter. Kind of expected since her dad is the God of War. And when I say god, I mean ALL the gods of war to have ever existed. It's part of her "deity mana," where a very lucky few are literal descendants of the divine. And hers happens to be the embodiment of war, violence, and combat. So not only can her dad kick my ass, but SHE can kick my ass!

Jaune: I don't know how I'm going to survive this school, but hey, here's hoping I can at least make it to graduation!

Jaune: ...Er, no offense, Ren.

[gx-gameon]

Because the idea is eating at my brain from seeing the asks about Aknamkanon helping Jaden, but Atem's entire court helping Jaden in Season 1.

Jaden about to be attacked by Gravekeepers despite winning that one duel? Mahad has come to shame the masses.

Need someone to help with the Duel Monsters Spirit Day? Mana and Dark Magician Girl are here to help.

Atticus having nightmares? Jaden asks if Shada or Karim can help.

Aknamkanon may be a grandfather, but this also means that Atem's old friends are aunts and uncles just like with Yugi's friends.

Oh I love this! Again probably not cannon.

But it all just lines up so well. Season 1 has a lot of callbacks to DM and it just makes this all so easy.

The Gravekeepers

The court watches over Jaden’s shadow game with the Gavekeepers. They are not happy about the shadow game but Jaden has been in two already and he accepted before they could step in.

Jaden wins and the Gravekeepers attack him anyways, the leader stops them and the court thinks that’s it. Jaden’s friends are freed and they are ready to leave when they are surrounded.

Gravekeepers assent and chief step in to try and sway the crowd but it’s not working. They are determined to keep Jaden and his friend there.

Suddenly a blast of golden light shots down between Jaden and the Gravekeepers. Mahad stands there in all his glory and the Gravekeepers immediately stand down. “Right this way my p-“ he pauses as he was about to call Jaden his prince in front of all of his friends and that would have raised some questions. He can see the slight panic on Jaden’s face. He quickly changes his words “friends. I’ll show you the way back to your world.” And he takes them back home, makeing sure they all arrive safely, before telling the Gravekeepers off and reporting to Atem.

Duel spirit day.

This one I was already planning on doing g because it is Dark Magician Girl’s spirit that comes to duel Jaden

This is absolutely Aunt Mana coming to spend time with her nephew.

At this point I’m half convinced the school sits on a “ley line” as a way to explain why duel spirits and dimensional whole pop up here every other week.

Manna has waited for years to be able to duel Jaden on here own. She pops into Atem and Yugi’s duels sometimes and every time the duel Jaden or their friends it looks like such fun.

Plus what a great way to spend the day with your nephew, doing his favorite activity.

She eats up the crowds attention, though she’s not so happy with them booing Jaden just because she winning. They’re having fun right now.

I never thought of him reaching out to Shada, Karim, or Isis.

But they would be great at helping him solve a lot of problems

Shada still having the ability to walk through someone’s mind and heart. He would help a lot in restoring Atticus’s memories or helping with Trauma.

Karim’s scales ability is the ability to fuse monsters. That was his job back in Egypt, to fuse monsters together. You have to believe that him and Jaden get on well if they ever did meet.

Isis has such a maternal attitude in the dub. She absolutely watches over Jaden and helps wherever she can.

Because you’re right they are Atem’s family and they absolutely watch over Atem and his new family in the realm of the living. They have to adore Jaden.

[greatkittydream]

@howlingday tell me if you like this

Ruby pov: It's alright, jaune. I will help you unlock your magic abilities. As she said this, her tale beat behind her a mile a minute

After the MEE scoring test, the bullying got worse against him Everyone from the weakest skeleton The strongest skeleton seemed to have it out for him Which kind of makes sense after all humans and vampires are The only ones that get along with each other. All the other monsters were hunted before the age of enlightened.

Jaune: Thanks, Ruby i-.

???: Owww. turning her head over. She saw the most pathetic bully in the school messing with a wear rabbit. Carter winchester His family comes from that of gargoyles pretended to be humans in the enlightenment era. And even before that. Well, it isn't my Is problem. He's not messing with my underling in my pack, so it should be fine.

Ruby: So any way ja-... Where'd he go.

Spinning her head at almost broke. She saw jonah somehow in front of this conflict before she had time to even recognize.

Jaune: Hey there's no need for violence.

Turning her head So quick, many would have thought she broke it she had no idea how he managed to get in front of Carter that quick or get past her without her noticing.

Carter: Human trash doesn't get to decide who is strong and not. And with a spurring backhand, he managed to hit. Jaune square on the nose, breaking it.

Dame it, now she had to get involved getting ready to transform. She was about to tear this boys head of when jaune mana Released, it's not uncommon for people untrained to release other Mana. One damaged as a deterrence but what came out of him was.

An oppressive presence it was a dark miasthma for those That can see manna this was not what you would normally see it's typically clear In light, his was nothing but a black Miasthma, that felt as if it was death itself. Trying to grab you, it was Viscus, too. It was touchable if you were to walk through it. It would be as if you were swimming through water in the air. It is in the worst part of all. It reached from corner to corner of the lunch room. Everyone that felt it had every instinctual part of their brains. Screaming to run worst of all for the ware beasts everything in their brain Said run. run As far as you can as fast as you can if you want to live. Ruby herself was shaking hers was a bit different. It was more like submit to the new leader of their group. She wanted nothing more than get on her knees and beg to live.

Standing up and looking carter in The eyes carter full will expected to die any moment

Jaune: I'm sorry for any trouble. She may have caused you. But we don't have to resort to violence. As he said these words, the mana immediately went back into him, behaving as if it was sentient, the atmosphere immediately got lighter.

Carter: y-ya, well, I was getting bored anyway. Let's go. And with that, his group of goons left with that trying to save face.

Walking back over, jaune sat back down at the lunch table With ruby Lucky for him none of his teammates nor ruby were there.

Jaune: That was so scary. I thought I was going to die for a moment. Thank god he could be talked out of it.

Ruby: ya Hey remind me never to make you mad again.

Tell me if this is bad or not new to writing Also I think ruby when in werewolf form will think and talk like this ruby: bitch he's mine Also I think in this ruby should be a bit more obsessive and territorial about things She likes for example her friends And yang could be a bit more greedy cause you know dragons hord.

[rodeoxqueen]

Greetings once again my queen. The idea of succubus/incubus in dmc has swirled around my mind like rotisserie chimken. Fluff and smut pretty please. They just reside in a human world, mostly chillin, not killing. Occasionaly sapping unsuspecting person for sustenance. Then one day they are get suprise visit from Dmc crew that expects dangerous demon, but its just this cute and sexy person with miscolored skin and teeny horns. Sparks fly and local sex demon soon learns there's more potent mana than the one stolen in backalley from occasional fling - love.

I love this idea so much I had to write something for this. I made this Dante/Reader coded.

-Rodeo

Dante/ Sex Demon! Reader

The DMC crew was expecting a dangerous demon indeed, a succubus/incubus sighting was rare.

You were in your demonic form when they gave chase and you fought like hell.

You were a lesser demon than the Spardas and you were quick to be captured and pinned by a devil sword to the wall by your shirt, also stolen from one of your victims.

In a bout of exhaustion, you returned to your human-ish form.

Demon and all, they just weren't expecting you to be so....cute?

Nero was surprised to hear a demon hiss like a cat like you did, trying to free yourself and near-begging for your life.

It wasn't your fault exactly for catching the attention of the crew, you had accidentally taken out a few humans with your soul-sucking powers.

With your submissive nature, the boys didn't find you as dangerous of a threat as they thought. Just a demon that got lost in the human world and learned to deal with it.

So they did what they always did: taking in another demon.

So there you were, a demon working with the great Sparda family.

You became the bookkeeper for the family business and came with for smaller missions.

Dante was immediately endeared by your tiny horns and engraved skin that was so pretty to look at. No wonder no human could resist you.

Vergil couldn't help but find your heart-shaped pupils and doe-like stare adorable. Like a cat almost, which he had learned to enjoy the company of.

You weren't used to kindness unless it meant the person being nice to you wanted to get in your pants.

So when Dante started just being nice to you and asking you to go to places with you, you were surprised. What did a demon like Dante want with a lowly sex demon like you???

You thrived off the kindness the Sparda boys gave you and you almost entered a moment of celibacy, not wanting to prey on humans anymore for manna. If they hated demons that preyed on humans, you surely wouldn't want to be one of those.

You weren't as powerful as before, but it was worth it to feel a sense of family and belonging.

The boys noticed you started becoming more human-like, with your horns becoming smaller and your engraved skin becoming more of a human tone.

As a sex demon, you tended to attract people just by just being. Sometimes you would wear skimpier clothing, more comfortable showing skin with your sexual nature.

"You're killin' me, baby." Dante would think internally as he would see you in such attire.

You and Dante had been flirty with each other for some time. You couldn't help it, seeing such a handsome demon every day.

It wasn't until your demonic energy finally tapped out and you became weak like a human.

Luckily for you, Dante had approached a rather severe rut when you had began craving for sex again.

The two of you were quick to get your hands on each other.

Dante had been acting strange lately, choosing to hole himself in his room and not coming out for a long time. The demonic energy leaking from him was enticing and you couldn’t help but rub your thighs together thinking just in its presence. 

You were embarrassed, demon tail with a heart-shaped end curling and flicking in the air in curiosity. 

You knocked on Dante’s door with a glass of strawberry lemonade. 

The boys told you Dante was in a rut and your heart skipped a beat. You didn’t see the knowing glance between Nero and Vergil when you ignored their comment about leaving him alone and leaving quickly to his room. 

You and Dante had a sexual tension that Nero could cut with his sword for some time. Dante explained he didn’t want to pressure you into anything since you were used to being used by humans. So for a long time, you fed off his demonic energy in slight amounts, going on dates and spending a lot of time together. It wasn’t anything you were used to, but it was well-welcomed. 

Demonic heats were common and could drive one insane. Your core ached thinking about those heats, where you were desperate to grind against skin and feel your center stretched by a ridged demon cock. You made your peace with other demons for some time, choosing humans to do such actions with. They were definitely lesser than a demon’s company. 

You were hungry again, and not for food. 

 A knock on the door and movement lead to Dante opening the door, shirt off as he usually did, but with a sheen of sweat over his chiseled skin. 

“Hey sugar.” He rasped, face tinged pink slightly at his predicament. A hot sex demon right in front of him, and he’s in a rut that’s never been as bad until now. 

“Hello, Dante. Can I come in?” You ask, giving him the glass, which he gladly drank from. 

“Oh, sure. I guess.” He lets you in. His room is a mess, with clothes strewn about everywhere and cups he forgot to bring into the kitchen. The curtains were closed, no natural light in the room. 

“How is your rut?” Dante blushed slightly. You were always one to ask blunt questions, human social code not of your own. 

“Hardest fucking rut I’ve ever had.” You blinked owlishly at him. Fuck, you were killing Dante. In that sexy fit and your beautiful face. 

Hell sure knew how to make their sex demons. 

“Why is that?” You asked, coming closer to Dante. He almost wanted to back away, your scent making his cock stir. 

He gulped, not used to this forwardness you came into his room with. 

“You know, I can fix that.” You lull, tail swishing behind you. 

“Oh really?” Dante exuded a slight dominance, looking down at you with lust sick eyes. 

“Sex demons are quite partial to other demon’s heats..” You smile. 

Dante remains quiet, a smile reaching his face when you come even closer. 

“Are you sure?” He asks. You nod softly, a sweet smile on your face and he swears he sees your heart-shaped pupils shine for a brief moment. 

“I want you, Dante. Let me scratch this itch of yours.” You two are so close that he can feel your tail coming around from your back to tap against his leg, coaxing him. 

You two kiss and it is electric. 

You’ve never kissed someone and felt the same spark you give to others. But this is different. This is Dante. Your Dante. 

“Come here, you sweet thing.” Dante pulls you close and kisses you, his back against his desk. He puts a hand on your rear, lifting you up to reach his hungry mouth. 

Your tail wraps around his strong thigh and he carries you to bed. 

You’re so excited, being fucked by a demon finally. 

Dante is a smattering of kisses against your neck and chest, both of you stripping away your clothes in a hurry. 

You’re in your underclothes when you see the hardening erection in Dante’s briefs. You palm him in his briefs and he groans. 

He takes off the briefs, hard cock hitting his navel, ruddy and thick. You lick your lips, fangs showing. 

You move around, Dante laying on his back as you give pretty little kisses on the head. 

“You’re such a little tease.” You giggle, letting him hit the back of your throat after some foreplay. You choke and gasp, but continue letting him use your throat for his own pleasure. Tears leak from your eyes as you feel that delicious lack of air. 

He’s the biggest you’ve ever had in your mouth and you drool all over him. You can already feel your strength returning to you just by his pleasure, slipping into your veins like the sweetest drug. 

Dante pulls you off his cock and gives you another kiss, tasting himself on your tongue. 

“Let me fuck you, baby.” You nod and take off the last barrier from feeling Dante’s skin against yours. 

He lays you on your back, fingers teasing your entrance. You’re already so slick and Dante can’t help but try a taste of you. 

You purr at the pleasure, celibacy broken as he continues to feed himself of your essence. 

Your legs wrap around his head and he groans again, raspy voice vibrating against your core. 

Dante is in absolute heaven here in between your legs. 

Your moans are like music to his ears. 

Eventually, Dante comes up for air. He sticks his thumb in your mouth, letting you suck on it. 

“Fuck, baby.” 

He grinds his member against your entrance, tapping his head against your slickness. 

“Is this okay?” 

You nod drunkenly, spirals against your skin deepening in color and your horns turning (f/c). 

Dante pushes in, hissing at your tightness. 

You let out a long moan, panting as you try to take Dante. 

“Oh my god~” 

Dante kisses your forehead, between your horns. 

Hours pass and you’re insatiable, riding Dante as you've gotten used to his length and both of you have lost your human forms much earlier. 

He’s trying the weight of his bed, springs creaking as he’s in his SDT form. You’re covered in spirals, horns spikier than before and claws out. 

You look ethereal to Dante, as he fucks you onto his cock. 

It isn’t until Nero comes back when the two of you are completely sated, laying on his chest and he returns to his human form again. 

You yelp when Nero passes the open door, moving the covers to hide your nudity. 

“Keep that damn door closed, you horn dogs!” Nero shouts as he runs away from Dante’s room. You had completely forgotten to close the door after you. 

Dante chuckles, keeping you closer. 

“This was fun. Thank you for keeping me company during my rut.” 

You kiss him on his cheek. 

“Anytime.” 

Two demons lay in bed, completely at peace with the world and each other.

Can you please explain why mana monsters were in cross worlds? I don’t care about getting spoiled I’m just curious. Did someone cast ashes of resurrection??

nnnnno i believe they're on drugs...? hold on

so cross worlds added lore (that i actually desperately hope is canon) to do with something called "chaos energy". chaos is the black corruption stuff that's super prevalent in even the mainline games - doloran corrupts people with it, shadar has his whole thing, etc etc. cross worlds just gave it a name. and what it is is like. tell you what i'll just give you zera's explanation

the five elements she's referring to of course being fire, water, storm earth, light, and dark

so the black circle (the main villains of the game) are going around "infecting" people with chaos. they're doing this in a lot of different ways but most of the time they just seem to like. do it. the chaos makes these people happier. it also turns them into violent monsters. um your answer as to why they're manna monsters is that they AREN'T they just reused the manna monsters models i believe. "how are they on drugs" one of the ways the black circle infects people with chaos is by making chaos drugs (drugs with chaos in them) and selling them as candy. iirc they are literally called drugs

We're doing magic assembly lines now? We're alienating the wizards from their own spells?

i... no, this would not be okay. replacing one appropriative butchering of a word with another appropriative butchering of a word is not a good idea. it would still be read by other people as the same word until it's actually specified to them directly. you can't deliberately "degenerate" a word from a different language to match the spelling of an unrelated word and have people understand your intent. neither word here has anything to do with the concept of magicka/magical energy points described in the post anyway and both manna and mana are equally inaccurate words to use here. it would be best to just use a different term for this altogether.

people will just use polynesian words completely incorrectly with completely made up meanings while being really offensive and won't even care huh lol
