Everyone knows of Kubar, the troll/human hybrid that killed the ancient devil dragon, with only his caravan group, his story will not be forgotten. His group of strange beings, all were different in one way or another, one however had a name even before she joined his caravan. Yet Kubar never found out when he first met her, the planet destroyer Stiliai. Though she was a Zephera, and an outcast to all the species across the lands, she still made a name for herself, and yet lied about it for years. But we are getting ahead of ourselves, let us turn back the clock to where it all started.
6 years ago in the dessert of the Nile...
Two hooded figures slowly walked through the river of sand, there hooves leaving there mark on the dessert floor, while there skin glisten in the bath of the suns rays. "How much farther must we go mistress?" Stiliai said to the hooded figure walking in front of her, she turned to Stiliai and smiled. She pointed to the village, it was hard to see as the dessert storm started to kick up sand and blew it around with the wind.
"Can you not see it young stripe? The Ogre village of Brandworth." Stiliai took her hood down as she looked through the sand she could see it, the village of Brandworth. "We will reach the villages entrance, in about an hour if we keep moving." Stiliai looked surprised by how well the village looked she smiled and nodded her head as she fallowed the other Zephera. As the two made it closer to the village, Stiliai noticed the red stripes on the other Zephera's hands, she looked at her own hands and noticed her stripes were black, she didn't want to ask if it was something personal, but she remembered reading in her species history that there were some Zephera's who had red stripes. They were known as the red death. However the info on the red deaths were destroyed when the clan was attacked by trolls, as they continued to walk, Stiliai looked around and saw a caravan group having trouble with there mounts. She sighed and continued to walk forward.
"I doubt I will ever join a caravan group they seem to have too many rules for me. What do you Think Mistress Venius" She said out loud. Venius smirked at her.
"Never say never young stripe, for all you know you just might. A Caravan is nothing more then a group traveling the world, the only differences is they travel the world for money, where we do to help others. Our clan trades with the caravans that come around our village, so we do need them around." Stiliai sighed as they continued to walk to the village, as they got close Venius suddenly stopped, Stiliai wasn't paying attention and bumped into Venius's back and fell on her butt.
"Ow Mistress why did you suddenly stop?" Stiliai looked up to see a pack of Ogres attacking one of the caravans that passed them. "Hay they cant do that, Mistress we should stop them." Venius smirked as she stepped back.
"If you want to save them be my guest." Stiliai looked back to Venius with disbelief that she said that, but rushed to the Ogres with her fist clenched.
"Hay! Stop attacking those caravan people!" As Stiliai got to the group she got into her fighting stance and prepared herself.
"A Zephera? Haven't seen one of your kind in a minute." One of the Ogres said, the others gripped there weapons and started to walk over to Stiliai, they were all at eye level, so no one towered over the other. "I suggest you leave Girly, we don't want to hurt you."
"What did you just say?" Stiliai started to get pissed off a bit when she heard that comment, her fist were clenched tighter and she bared her fangs.
"I said you should leave before you get hu-" Stiliai interrupted the Ogre by punching him in the face and launching him away from the caravan. The other 2 looked shocked and scared after seeing her strength, they got mad and charged her. Stiliai stepped forward and moved her arms to her waste patiently waiting for them to get close, when they did, she shot her front arm forward and hit one of the Ogres in the stomach, she then grabbed it, lifted it up with one hand and threw him pass the third Ogre as it still charged her, but she was fast enough to kick that one in the face. It fell to the ground, cupping his face in his hands and really feeling her hoof print on his face.
"Is that all you guys got, come on, I haven't even broken a sweat yet." The three Ogres got up and did a battle cry as they charged Stiliai with there clubs again. Stiliai started to fall victim of her own blood lust and started to charge the three Ogres, one of the Ogres swung its club at her, she not only blocked the strike with her knuckles she also broke the club, she then grabbed the Ogres face, spun him around and threw him into the other two. As the Ogres crashed together and fell to the ground, Stiliai towered over them with a smile on and red eyes, she was panting heavily but wasn't sweating or tired. "I need more, come on can't you go on?" The Ogres looked a bit scared of her as Stiliai stomped on one of the Ogres hands. It screamed in pain, which brought a smile to Stiliai's face.
"Please stop, were sorry OK." The Ogres actually started to cry a bit. Stiliai never saw an Ogre cry before, they then started to change into what looked like dark elves there small bodies gave it away, along with there dark skin and green eyes.
"Dark Elves?" Stiliai soon lost her blood lust and took her hoof off the dark elves hands, they looked like kids. Venius smirked and soon appeared at the scene, she placed her hand on Stiliai's head and rubbed it a bit.
"Congratulation you single handed defeat a bunch of dark elves, I know the dwarfs will be happy you beat up there guards." Venius pointed to the caravan which was made up of dwarfs. One poked its head over the wagon.
"Is it over?" He said he then looked to the dark elves and looked a bit shocked. "Ahh Vik, Ronald, Stiff!" The dwarf jumped over the wagon and ran to the three. "Are you three OK?" The dark elves picked themselves up and nodded for the most part.
"Yeah were fine, guess its true, those Zephera's are strong. Luck-ally for us were durable too." Stiliai looked shocked, and a bit disappointed.
"Wait so I wasn't fighting 3 strong muscular Ogres but 3 small dark elves? Ah that sucks, and I was getting turned on by them too. This sucks!" Venius smiled again and laughed a bit.
"Lucky them you didn't otherwise you just might have killed them." The three dark elves blushed a bit at Stiliai's comment, Ronald stood up and cleared his throat.
"So anyways are you two the ones who were sent to help us on our quest to infiltrate the Ogres base and get back the meteor fragment they stole from us?" Venius looked at the dark elf, she pulled a piece of paper from her bag and read it.
"Ah so your our clients, well then that saves us the trouble of looking for you." She said as she placed the paper back into her bag. "Stiliai why don't you help the dark elves fix the wagon, I need to talk to magistrate Ornal." Venius walked to talk with Ornal in private, Stiliai walked over to the three dark elves and helped them with the wagon.
"Stiff, do you have the jack? Vik can you help e with the wheel." Stiliai lifted the wagon with one hand and helped put the wheel "Uh thanks." Ronald said as he bolted the wheel in place.
"Listen sorry about earlier, I thought you were attacking that dwarf." Stiliai said as she looked to Venius talking with Ornal.
"Don't worry about it, to be honest we wanted to spar with you anyways. We heard tails of the Zephera race, but never saw one in person that is until we saw you, we never fought one, now that we have, we can safely say we will be ready next time."
"Oh really?" Stiliai said as she dropped the wagon onto Stiff's foot. "Well then why don't you prove it with a sparing session after we fix this wagon, I will even take all three of you on at the same time again. I won't even use blood lust to give you a handy cap." The three dark elves smiled.
"Alright then, we except your battle, just don't be mad when you lose." As Ronald said that, Ornal came over and placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Best not pick a fight with a Zephera my boy, as you saw they aren't weak even without there blood lust power up they still hold many secrets." Ronald got mad and smacked Ornal's hand away.
"Stop treating us like kids we can beat her, she just got lucky last time." Ronald looked to Stiliai who just smirked. Venius came over to her and smiled.
"Ornal is correct young one, we have many more secrets then you could possibly understand." Venius took her hood off and reviled not only her red stripes, but strange blindfold over her eyes. "As you can see my stripes are a different color as well as my blindfold. Stiliai doesn't need blood lust to defeat anyone, if she has the ion blast ability." Ronald was a bit confused, as were the other dark elves, Stiliai smirked as she crossed her arms.
"Yes its an ability I inherited from my clan with power beyond that of a dragons flame." Stiliai was gloating a bit when she said that.
"Well we don't really have much time to waste, we need to hurry and get that meteor fragment, before the Ogres learn how to use it." Ornal said as he linked the wagon to his horse mounts and walked to the village. As they got to the Village Stiliai was excited when she saw the Ogres, they were big and strong just like her, but she was more interested with there sparing sessions.
"Venius we have some spare time, so I am going to check out the Ogres, I might get to spar with them." She said as she ran off before Venius could retaliate. Stiliai ran into a mud arena were she saw two Ogre females going at it, she looked so joyed as she watched them go at it, before long one of the Ogre females was victorious.
"AGH! Who else wants some! I will beat any challenger!" The Ogre said, Stiliai took her up on the offer and raised her hand.
"I will take you on if you don't mind." She said as she jumped into the ring, the Ogres looked a bit confused as Stiliai was way more skinner then them, they couldn't tell who she was because of her cloak, the female Ogre started to laugh.
"A toothpick like you? You think you can beat Birthrina?" Birthrina started to flex to show her bulging muscles, Stiliai smirked and started to crack her knuckles.
"Well if you so scared of me..." The Ogres started to growl at that remark, one thing they hated the most was being called scared or weak.
"Fine your on little toothpick." Birthrina stomped on the ground and started to get low, she looked like a wrestler. Stiliai took her stance and started to taunt Birthrina, when she did Birthrina tackled Stiliai to the ground and mounted her. She started to rain hay-makers down onto Stiliai's face, it was hard for her to defend herself from Birthrina's powerful fists, the ground below them started to brake from the power Stiliai got mad and kicked her off, Birthrina rolled back to her feet and charged Stiliai again, this time Stiliai kneed her as she went for another take down. Stiliai waved her finger.
"Sorry the same move wont work on me." Birthrina was impressed, more so for the fact Stiliai was still able to stand after taking so much damage. "Well guess I don't need this anymore." Stiliai took her hood off and threw it onto the ground, the Ogres were all in shock, as they rarely ever saw a Zephera. "Now then, lets go babe." Stiliai said as she charged Birthrina and elbowed her in the face, Birthrina staggered back and rubbed her large noes, she then smiled with excitement.
"Its been awhile sense anyone was able to hit me like that, this will be fun for sure." Birthrina rushed Stiliai and threw a punch at her face, Stiliai caught it rather easy, in fact she caught it too easily, Birthrina grabbed Stiliai's arm, pulled her closer and head butted her right on the noes, she then tripped her and mounted her back. She wrapped her arm around Stiliai's neck and went for a choker move. "Submit girly, no one can beat me." Stiliai tried to brake free, but Birthrina was sitting on her spine, not just choking her, if she moved too much she may accidentally brake her back. Stiliai started to black out for a second, she then started to use blood lust, afterwords she threw Birthrina off her back, and started to attack her, she repeatedly punch her in the face, stomach, and her arms as she tried to block her attacks. Stiliai got in one good punch and knocked Birthrina down, she fell to one knee as she tried to catch her breath. Stiliai's blood lust started to go to her head as she walked to Birthrina, she grabbed her neck and started to punch her face in, after 5 good hits, Birthrina summoned her own blood lust and pushed Stiliai off her. "I don't lose, I never lose!" The battle was getting so intense that it drew in a large crowd. Both traded blows and not tiring, there cloths already started to rip revealing allot of skin, but they both didn't seem to care. There faces covered in bruises and blood, as there fists had more scratches then a cats scratching post. After 3 hours of constant fighting, both finally started to tire themselves out. Having extinguishing there blood lust, they both found it hard to stand. Stiliai started to wobble as standing on her feet proved challenging, she noticed not many of the Ogres left, in fact more came within the 3 hours, it felt like the whole village and some came to watch there fight. "Your pretty good...for a non Ogre..." Birthrina said, Stiliai nodded her head and put her guard up.
"A Zephera never backs down, or gives up...to keep the honer of my tribe...I will beat you..." Stiliai gathered what little strength she had and moved closer to Birthrina, as did Birthrina. When they both got into arms reach they shot one final punch to each other and hit each other square on the jaw, then they both hit the ground hard at the same time. The crowed cheered though were both disappointed that the match was a draw. Stiliai tried to get up but couldn't, Venius soon towered over her and helped her out.
"Not bad young stripe, I never expected one so young to beat a Ogre like Birthrina, even though you technically didn't win, you didn't lose ether." Ronald came over and started to heal Stiliai. "Bet your glad you didn't kill these cute dark elves now." Stiliai smiled a bit.
Ogre hotel Rough Neck
Stiliai had bandages on her wounds and looked a bit like a mummy, she didn't feel bad, though her spirit was a bit crushed for the fact she didn't beat Birthrina. "Man if only I didn't get tired at the end, I would be victorious." She said as she punched a hole in the wall. "Oops, sorry." She looked for something to block the hole, she found a table and a statue and placed it in front of the hole. "There, now no one will know." she sat back on the bed then looked at her cloths. "Man she really did a number on my suit, I might need to buy more cloths before we start our mission." Stiliai looked in her bag and found 5 gold pieces, 34 silver and 10 copper. "This should be enough for some new cloths, at the very least a repair kit." She walked to the door and as she opened the door, she bumped into Birthrina. "Owww, I'm sorry I wasn't looking were I was go..." When she noticed who it was she smiled a bit. "Oh Birthrina right?" Birthrina looked to her and nodded.
"And your...um well the Zephera that almost beat me." Stiliai sweat dropped as she smiled a bit.
"The names Stiliai, that was a great fight, I hope we can do it again." Birthrina nodded, she got up and gripped Stiliai's hand and shook it.
"Me too, there aren't many females who can beat me." Birthrina looked at Stiliai's cloths then started to freak out a bit. "Your cloths, I am sorry I ruined them, come we will buy you some new cloths right away." She grabbed Stiliai's arm and dragged her to the cloths trader. "Here we are, the cloths trader, he can get you a new set of cloths and repair your old one too, seeing as I can do some services not many can for him, isn't that right Rampage?" Birthrina said seductively as she twirled her finger on Rampage's chest, he blushed and nodded.
"Seeing as your a friend of this fine phat ass I will do both the repairs and sell the cloths for free, pervading this one can satisfy me for a bit." Birthrina smiled and shook her hips a bit as Rampage rubbed her rump. He opened his door and let Birthrina walk in first.
"Just pick what you like Stiliai, I will be back in about 2 hours maybe longer if I am lucky." She said with a wink, as the door closed Stiliai took the opportunity to look around, all the cloths were too big and puffy for her, she needed something that could breath but be skin tight so her technique wouldn't suffer because of it. She looked around for a good 5 minutes before she could start to hear moaning and groaning coming from behind the door. She was a bit curious how Rampage was, because Birthrina said she would be in there for a few hours, her interests peaked a bit. She walked to the door, and peaked inside, she blushed when she saw the two having sex. "Oh god, oh god, OH GOD!" Birthrina screamed as she sat on Rampage's member riding him like a bull, her hands were on his legs being used to keep her balance as she hopped up and down on him. Rampage himself had her large breast cupped in his hands, it was hard for Stiliai to believe how large Birthrina was, she never noticed the size of her breast when she spared with her, she noticed bandages laying on the ground and she though that was why, she closed the door before she drew attention to herself, then looked at her own breast.
"I guess I'm not the biggest female here, that kind of makes me feel bad." She said as she continued to look around the store, she stopped at a leather jump suit with armor parts around the shoulders and legs. "This, this is what I want." She said out-loud.
"Good ugh...just take what you want...oh yeah...Birthrina is...good god...paying for it as we speak." Stiliai blushed as she smiled.
"Well I guess I should let you have your fun then." She said as she walked out of the store, after she got back to her room she went to the bathroom and started to change her cloths. After she had her cloths on she looked in a mirror, it was a skin tight black jump suit with a bead like string belt, and a few silver armor peaces on her left shoulder, right thigh, and on the left side of her waste, she pulled her tail out of the little hole in the back part of her suit. "This looks nice, black is defiantly my style." She said as she twisted and turned looking over her new suit, she smiled and walked out of the bathroom. When she got out she saw Venius sitting on the bed naked, she had only a towel on her head and her panties on Stiliai had a great view of her breast and her red stripes.
"Stiliai, your home, didn't hear you come in." She looked to her threw the towel. "I see you got a new set of cloths, they suit you well." Stiliai smiled and scratched her head.
"Say mistress Venius, why do you always have something over your eyes? Is it because of our species curse?" Venius nodded.
"That is part of it, the curse of the Ionic blast, the pure energy we have in our eyes can be used to destroy anything we look at. Normal Zepheras have it in only one eye, red striped Zepheras have it in both, there is a way to use it without going blind though." When Venius said that Stiliai seemed interested.
"If there is a way, then our clan can use it freely without fear of going blind, that would be a huge achievement for our clan."
"It would be, but they will not allow it. The elders have forbidden anyone from learning that secret, if you read about the red striped Zepheras I am guessing you didn't learn much in the form of what we can do." Venius took the towel off her eyes and opened them, both were pitch black, with a white iris. "I can see more then anyone could ever dream, the past, every future, everything, the only problem is, there is no way to turn it off while my eyes are open." She got up and walked to Stiliai, she grabbed her arm and threw her to the bed. When Stiliai hit the bed, Venius crawled on top of her and smiled. "In order to keep the ion blast recharged our clan must have sex with a member of our clan, you know this correct?" Stiliai blushed but nodded. Venius put her hand around Stiliai's lower lips, she felt them and massaged them Stiliai blushed and felt her cold fingers even through her new suit. "This suit really is skin tight, this makes my job all the more easier." Stiliai struggled but was unable to over power Venius, she was a red striped Zephera she was 10 times stronger then Stiliai because of this.
"Please stop Venius, you know it must be one of the opposite sex, I am female too you know." Venius frond and got off her. She grabbed her jacket and put it on. "I'm sorry mistress I just don't feel right being with a girl."
"It's not love, its only recharging, I have recharged today, you haven't in fact you haven't recharged in 20 years your still a virgin strange as your one of the prettier Zephera's in our village, the fact you have your strength is a mystery to me." Venius said. "As long as we have sex we will recharge our power, it doesn't matter with who, the elders just say with your own species so you have a reason to stay with the clan." Stiliai looked a bit confused from what Venius said, she zipped her suit back up and then sat there on the bed.
"We don't need our own clan to recharge our eyes? How is that possible, if no other species has any ionic energy in there bodies?" She pondered that before falling asleep.
To Be Continued
Stiliai's past story is just starting, her clan's ionic blast is known across the land as god's eye, and the red striped Zephera's are clouded in more mystery then the dragonspans, Kubar got his hands on a powerful and valuable jewel he never once took advantage of. However like I said before stories are told in different ways from every type of story teller, some tell stories to make a legend of there own, while others tell the truth of what really happen, its up to the ones that listen to make the decision to believe which is correct. The first chapter of Stiliai's past has come to a close, wait and see how things will unravel in this version of her past.
