The Monster Keeper - Chapter 3

NSFW!- after your encounter with the minotaur you check on some of your aquatic charges- merfolk- dubcon- threats- drowning mention- 2k words

Your body ached as you cleaned yourself up, you weren’t sure you could do a full day of this. But these creatures had been trapped in a strange world far from their home, so if there was anyway you could ease their homesickness you would do it. The next two ‘holding cells’ as you called them, looked different from the first, the concrete blocks were painted a darker colour and the frame around the door was a turquoise blue. This was where they kept aquatic creatures before their enclosures were ready. Curiosity overtook your wariness and you opened the door.

As soon as you did a young woman’s voice cried out, full of pride and anger, “How dare you imprison me!” she yelled “I am Halimede Princess of Neaera and you will show me the respect I deserve!” You bowed low, and when you raised your head you finally took a look at this princess. Her eyes were pale and glassy, wide spaced and lidless. Like a fish. Smooth silver scales covered the whole of her flat chested humanoid torso, from the tips of her clawed fingers to her face, to the almost imperceptible join between body and tail. Your eyes followed the line of her form, her top half wasn’t much larger than yours, but her tail curled and looped around itself, nearly filling the clearly inadequate tank. She snarled showing her long, needle-like teeth.

“Please don’t hurt me, your highness.” You squeaked.

“Why shouldn’t I?” she hissed, looking down at you with a disdainful yet smug expression, “I’m sure you would be delicious..” It seemed almost silly to be afraid of her when she was in the tank and you weren’t, but something about her confidence assured you that if she wanted to kill you she could.

“because,” you hesitated, “because if you kill me, no one else will come.”

“They will, they always do”

“I mean it, if I die nobody else will bother risking their life to look after you, they only sent me because I’m the easiest to replace.” A hint of doubt crossed the mermaid’s face. She stared at you, her lidless eyes unnerving and strange.

Then she nodded, “You believe your words to be truthful, whether or not they are is of no consequence.” You let out a sigh of relief and heard gentle laughter bubble from the princess’s mouth. “So you are here to look after me human?” she would have gazed haughtily down her nose if she had one.

“Yes, and the others from your realm.”

“Others?” intrigued she asked, “Do you know if my father is here?”

“Your father?”

“The King of Neaera”

“I’m not sure, You are only the third I have visited.”

“Ah, well I suppose he must be here, we were taken at the same time, quite rudely I may add.”

“I’m sorry your highness, I was not there but I believe it was for your own safety. There are some humans who would wish for your head mounted on a wall, or you body stuffed and displayed. I know this place is cramped and far from what you must have been used to, but at least we can protect you from people like that.”

She thought for a moment, stunned, “I suppose then that I am grateful, but that is not worth much if I am to starve to death in here.”

You blushed “I’m sorry, I will bring you food as soon as I can.”

“Human meat?”

“uh, no, sorry we don’t have any of that, but if I meet anyone who deserves it I’ll bring them straight to you.”

“Very well, I will have fish then but it must be fresh,” She sighed, but you had an idea.

“Is there any food, other than people, which is a particular delicacy for your kind? Perhaps your favourite food?”

“Urchins!” She blurted out, and from the gleeful hunger in her eyes you saw that behind her cold exterior she really was as childish as any pampered princess would be.

“I can get you urchins, not today, but soon I’ll bring you as many as you can eat!”

She grinned, sharp teeth shining. “I shall have to keep you alive then!”

“I would appreciate that” you laughed, “Oh um, if I do happen to meet your father is there anything you would like me to say to him?”

“No, king and father though he may be, he is still a bastard. But best not tell him I said that.” You nodded. “And a word of caution, the king is dangerous, he would not hesitate to feast on your flesh. However there is one thing he loves more than food.”

“What is it?” you asked though you could hazard a guess.

“Sex.” Of course “You are pretty, if you use that to your advantage you may live.” Great. “You may tell him that you are under my protection, he may ignore that entirely but in he’s in a good mood he may keep you alive to please me.”

“Thank you your highness. Is there anything you would like me to do before I go?”

“yes, leave a window open so I can hear if my father kills you, then I shall know not to speak to him again.” You did as she asked, though it did nothing to calm your nerves. “good luck human” she called after you as you left. You felt like you were walking to your death, but perhaps Halimede had exaggerated, you told yourself, she didn’t exactly seem fond of her father. And perhaps this next building had something completely different in? Merfolk weren’t the only aquatic monsters after all.

As you stepped into the building, pulse racing, you knew there had been no point trying to convince yourself. Not one but two mermen turned to gaze upon your tender, trembling human form. The hunger in their eyes froze you in place. The larger of the two, who you assumed was the king, grinned as you knelt before him, revealing that he had the same needle sharp teeth as his daughter.

“Your- Your Majesty,” you stammered, “I am (name), I am here to tend to your needs.” You bowed your head, nervously awaiting his reaction.

“hmm it looks delicious doesn't it” he chuckled softly.

“A fitting meal for one as great as you Your Majesty” the smaller merman replied. You blinked away the tears that had begun to form in your eyes, you could only think of one thing that could save you.

“Please, I am under the protection of princess Halimede and she has requested politely that you don’t eat me, but," you couldn’t believe you were saying this “but that you may use my body as you wish, as long as I am still able to perform my duties to her.” Your hands tensed up into fists as you bit your lip, awaiting your fate.

“What do you think my lord?” The king's courtier asked.

“Well I can’t deny a request from my daughter, especially when she has offered such a pretty gift.” He smirked, the hunger in his eyes now of a different kind. ”Come in my dear,” he spoke in a soft hiss, “We won’t bite” You took a tentative step towards the tank.

“Take off that fabric you insist on using to keep His Majesty from enjoying your form. I can assure you that you will not need it in here.”

You clumsily pulled off your uniform, leaving it in a heap on the floor, trying not to shake too much as you slipped your underwear off.

“Much better.” The King’s words felt like slime. -Just relax, just try to enjoy it- you thought to yourself, unsure if you’d be able to. You shivered as you walked naked to the awaiting mermen. The King’s eyes were fixed on you, on your soft fragile human body. The other gazed at his king, swimming lower in the water. Looking closer you could see that he was staring at a thin slit in his majesty’s tail. As you watched something long and smooth and tapered began to slide out of it, and you realised you were both staring at the King’s erection.

“This is what will soon be inside you” the king gloated “Make sure you appreciate it.”

“I’m sure they will, your majesty.” The courtier said as you nodded.

“Sh-should I come in now?” you asked, still nervous but admittedly getting a little damp between your legs.

“Well of course, you’re of no use to me out there.”

You slowly lowered yourself into the water, trying to adjust to the sudden coldness, but still let out a gasp as the surface touched your pussy. Once the water was up to your waist you felt smooth scaled hands gently stroking up your legs, along the inside of your thighs, and suddenly grabbing you firmly by the hips and dragging you under. You flailed your arms in a panic, trying desperately to break free from the kings vice-like grip. He watched you thrashing around, a look of pleasure on his face as his dick was stroked by his adoring courtier.

Then he laughed and let go of you “that’s enough now, Sargas hold her so her head’s above the water.”

You coughed and spluttered as you broke through the surface. Just as you were getting your breath back you felt movement in the water behind you as strong, green-scaled arms wrapped around you and held you steady.

“There, are you done struggling now my pretty human?” the king smirked.

“Sorry, I thought I was going to die…” your voice trailed off.

“Oh come now don’t be silly, why would I let you die when I can have so much fun with you when you’re alive?”

“Just, please don’t drag me under without warning like that, I’ll keep coming back to have sex with you if you like but please please don’t do that again.”

His face softened, perhaps realising he’d have to be kinder if he wanted to make the most of your little human pussy. “Alright (name) I swear to you that I won’t pretend to drown you anymore.”

“Thank you” It didn’t seem right to thank him for the bare minimum but you wanted to be safe.

Deciding that this part of the conversation had gone on long enough the king continued his earlier exploration of your erogenous zones. He slid one finger inside you. Despite the cold water and your recent fear he found that you were ready for him, your walls warm and soft and slippery. You gasped as he pulled you close, your bodies pressed against each other, your skin against his smooth golden scales. Though his arms were now around you you could still feel something moving between your legs, and you realised that he must have some amount of control over his cock. It found your entrance quickly and the tip slid easily into your eager hole. He let out a low moan. “it’s been a long time since I fucked a human, I forgot how good it feels…” He slid in further and further, his shaft widening with every inch.

His courtier was still behind you, and from what you could feel pressing against your thighs he was enjoying it just as much as you were

“Oh Your Majesty..” he moaned. Actually maybe he was enjoying it more.

The King still had a smug look on his face, so you tightened yourself around him, making him gasp.

“(name) where did you learn that?”

You didn’t reply, you couldn’t, The King had bottomed out in you and taken your breath away. You moaned in pleasure between the two mermen, one laying his royal claim to your pussy, the other slowly rubbing his manhood between your legs and crying out with pleasure whenever he brushed against His Majesty.

“I hope you’re ready little human, I’ve been saving this for a while.” The King groaned as something flooded your womb, while at the same time your squirt warmed the water around you. You felt so warm, so strangely comfortable. If you could, you would have stayed a little longer, not afraid of these strange creatures now that you had brought them such pleasure.

Major Update: To move forward is to take a step back.

Hello everyone, it's been a while. I hope you're all doing well. I'd ask that you read this to the end because some major changes will be in the upcoming update.

TLDR: You will need to start a new save file for new update (this weekend) otherwise there will be very noticable issues down the line.

I can't recall the last time I made a post or an update like this and frankly i'm scared to check . I've been struggling with writers block with the end of Chapter 1 and my small bouts of depression did not help one bit, so I had to take a step back and re-examine the narrative. If you ask me what the problem was, i'd say that perhaps I rushed too quickly into the main story, when I needed a little more foundation to stand on. After a few months of deliberation, a solution has been found. And I think everyone will like it. There will be no major rewrite of any sort, I think I would cry if that were the case.

Instead we going going to have a second prologue. This means that Chapter 1 will be inaccessible until the second prologue is complete. I'm very sorry that things have to be this way, but I do no see any other option for the story to continue forward in a satisfying way.

The second prologue will take place a few months after the first prologue during the Grand Festival of Eostre. This will be the first year you'll celebrate without your mother, at the very least you will have your friends and family with you at the time.

What to expect in the first half of Prologue 2:

Up to 13k words of new content.

Spend some time with your family.

Looooreeee & tea.

Meet Lior the Grand Cardinal of the Church of Eostre. The leading religion in Nibelheim.

Choose how to spend your free time at the festival in 2/4 possible routes. Route A: Alberich & Finny, Route B: Sieghardt & Thea.

(The last two routes will be added in the next update: Route C: Lynnette, Erik & Daria/Darius, and Route D: The Empress, King Lugh & Duchess Neaera)

Erik has a younger bastard half-sibling named Daria(f)/Darius(m). ( I will address them as Dara for short.) The final romantic interest, gender selectable. Even if you do not choose Route C, you will meet them later on in the second half of the update.

Fixes + Updates:

Character Creation has been updated and streamlined. (Gender/Pronouns and Sex are separate categories for both adult and child character creations. Attributes chosen during Child Character Creation will be stored as different variables in the event I choose to do anymore flashbacks later on in the story.)

Please note, that choosing after your sex (as an adult) I will assume your character will have the corresponding equipment down there.

Music Credits have been updated.

Minor adjustments to the colour of the UI, if people have any sort of colour theme they wish to see, I'll be more than happy to add them.

That is all for now. I hope the year has been kind to everyone so far. I haven't gone through my inbox yet, but I've seen glimpse of people's support it goes a long way. I sincerely do no think I'd come back if it weren't for the fact that I'd feel like I'd let everyone down. I will be making a patreon post after the first update goes live to talk about the new update and exclusives later.

Thank you for reading and enjoying TSR over the past year. It's means a lot to me and let's hope things will be better moving forward.

See you <3

His favourite band very much depends on his age, his music taste changes a bit with the years. Or not changes as much as it expands, as he finds more and more music he enjoys.

In his teen years where we mostly see him (~13-16) Rise Against and Disturbed are two of his favourites. He doesn't get into actual Metal until a little later (18ish), from there to Gothic and from there to EBM etc.

I made the executive decision as his creator that he really likes VNV Nation when he's older (because that's my favourite band), but for most of his youth, that wouldn't be harsh and angry enough for him.

Two of his long-term favourites that he's kept with him throughout the years are Linkin Park (though he prefers the older stuff), and Nine Inch Nails.

As for concerts--the first dozen or so concerts he goes to are just small local punk and alternative bands playing in small clubs and bars. He doesn't have money to spare for actual big concerts most of his youth. Once he does, the first real gig he goes to is Neaera, not because they're his favourite or anything, but they happened to be the first one touring near him that he could afford at the time. He does have a glorious mane for headbanging, and of course he enjoys a good moshpit.

If I had been a Heathen, I’d have praised the purple vine, My slaves should dig the vineyards, And I would drink the wine. But Higgins is a Heathen, And his slaves grow lean and grey, That he may drink some tepid milk Exactly twice a day. If I had been a Heathen, I’d have crowned Neaera’s curls, And filled my life with love affairs, My house with dancing girls; But Higgins is a Heathen, And to lecture rooms is forced, Where his aunts, who are not married, Demand to be divorced. If I had been a Heathen, I’d have sent my armies forth, And dragged behind my chariots The Chieftains of the North. But Higgins is a Heathen, And he drives the dreary quill, To lend the poor that funny cash That makes them poorer still. If I had been a Heathen, I’d have piled my pyre on high, And in a great red whirlwind Gone roaring to the sky; But Higgins is a Heathen, And a richer man than I: And they put him in an oven, Just as if he were a pie. Now who that runs can read it, The riddle that I write, Of why this poor old sinner, Should sin without delight- But I, I cannot read it (Although I run and run), Of them that do not have the faith, And will not have the fun.
