So far so good with the attention. Let's keep the ball rolling!
This is probably one of the longest chapters I've done for a chaptered story.
First thing though. I slightly changed the appearance of the Lilim. In appearance with the MGE universe they have red eyes, the Lilim in my story have silver iris with red outer ring for eye color while the Lilim in MGE have solid red.
Chapter two: Family matters brought to life.
The Demon Lord marched into her home with a purpose not seen in over a century.
The Castile maids and staff saw this and wisely kept their distance while their ruler moved down in the halls. Many were left wondering what happened that caused this, only to answer by seeing the young human girl in her arms. Questions became more apparent as they saw this as in the past, the Current Demon Lord always had a soft spot for taking in young girls and turning them into monsters like themselves. But the aura that their ruler was enumerating didn't make sense to them. Just who was this human girl, and what did she do to bring out such emotions?
The Demon Lord ignored them as she focused in on Elle. Her Lilim daughter met her at their home's court yeard and informed her that a room was prepared as ordered for her long lost daughter. Not that any of them knew about Ruby. That was going to be quite the shock many of her other children, but she had no dought they all will accept this and accept Ruby.
Reaching the room, Elle had prepared for, she set out for the bed and gently rested Ruby on. She gave the redhead one last look over before turning to Elle. "Have someone clean and repair her clothing, while they do that have her cleaned and rested. If she wakes up, alert me at once. Understood?"
"Yes, mom!/Yes, milady!" Sounded of the maids and her Lilim daughters.
Exiting the room, the Demon Lord found the hallway empty. She placed a hand on a nearby wall for support while cupping her other hand over her mouth. Memories of a time lost were pulled up and relived once more.
As a human turned into a succubus, human emotions were dangerous. When one becomes converted to a monster, their emotions fuel their personalities and instincts. They become gitty and scatterbrained, receiving a strong desire to mate. Over time if they are not careful, they will slowly lose specific memories of what made them human.
As a converted succubus under the old Demon Lord, it was even worse back then. Where today under her rule, the conversion is better and converted monster girls retain much of their human quirks. Under the old Lord, if one did not have a strong will to overcome their growing desires, they would lose it. With her past experience as a strong huntress, along with her memories of her family. Her sanity for a time was kept safe until she found that powerful witch to lock away her memories. Now that they had returned and a much higher class demon than when she was at the start, she was prepared to handle them better than most.
But it didn't mean it was easy.
She remembered her family growing up on the continent of Anima, near Mistral, at village full of silver eye warriors where they fought the Grimm at every turn and held the line against the darkness. She remembered her parents and how both were great warriors and kind heart people. Then like many others, her home was gone, lost after nonstop fighting of hoard after hoard of Grimm. Thus making Summer Rose one of the few silver eye folk in the world and last of the Rose family line. She remembered leaving for Vale and entering Beacon academy to be a Huntress and leading team STRQ. The misadventures with Raven, Qrow, and Taiyang. Raven and Taiyang getting together and having Yang. YANG!
More tears fell as she remembered another of her forgotten children. She may not have been hers by blood, but after she took care of her after Ravens' disappearance, it didn't matter. Now she didn't just leave one child behind but two!
More of Summer's past surface as she pushed herself off the wall. Raven's seeming abandonment of her husband and daughter, and her becoming the mother figure of the family. Marring Tai and filling the void in his heart with little Ruby being born a year later. Her two small balls of sunshine in her light that gave her a future.
Then her last mission as a Huntress.
It was a routine Grimm clearing mission in Mistral that she took solo much to the displeasure of Qrow and Tai. If only it were that easy.
It ended with her meeting face to face with her.
"Salem..." The loss was quickly replaced with rage.
She remembered that bitch that Ozbin warned her and her team about, that she is secretly considered to be the Queen of Grimm. Her old Headmaster had ordered Summer to avoid at all costs least as she was responsible for the near-extinction of the silver-eyed warriors. She had tried to get away, but the surrounded nearly endless hoard of Grimm made it almost impossible by normal means. The Huntress had to use the power of her silver eyes to the fullest extent. More then Summer had ever done so before to where she needed to petrify whole legions of them to give her breathing room. Then somehow, she used too much of her silver eye powers and ended up in another realm away from all that she loved.
"Wow, Lilith. I haven't seen you this enraged in centries." A strong familiar voice said that pierced her vail of memories.
She turned and faced with a smile to her approaching husband, then Demon Lord's eyes grew wide at the sight of what he had on.
"Oh, wow. When was the last time you had that on?"
There cooming up to her was her lover and husband. He walked with her, a head taller than her with a march of a veteran soldier. Her lover had on his old armor from back when he was a human hero. Thou he never considered himself one back then, it was just what people called him back then. He wore onyx black plated enchanted armor that covered his chest and arms with bandleaders of throwing knives and belt of pouches full of surprises. Then there was the sword chained his back that people wouldn't even consider a sword. More like a raw hunk of iron.
"Probably when those orcs from far eastern peaks invaded our home three centries ago...you know when," her lover said solemnly.
The Demon Lord did know. A high orc by the name of Biss had conquered all the orc tribes and gathered them under her rule. She then got power-hungry and decided to march on her home. Bliss had assembled an army of nearly twenty thousand orcs ready to pillage and make their castle into an orc breeding ground. The assault of their home lasted for weeks. Orcs had acquired the aid of Goblins into their ranks so they could try tearing holes in their walls.
She lost many of her Lilim daughters to the Orcs sword at that time. For that, Orc blood had drenched the walls of her keep and soaked the soil of their lands. As the current Demon Lord, she, her husband, and their remaining daughters that were with them had killed them all in a blaze of rage and blood lust. With magic and sword in hand, they carved through their ranks until she Lilith faced against the High Orc that personally took twenty of her daughters away. The result was Bliss's head on a mounted pike for the remainder of her army to see. With their leader dead, they broke ranks and fled back to their mountain with the remains of their goblin allies.
"Yes, I remember well."
"Anyway," her husband said, getting the heart of the subject. "Tell me what happen, my love? A few of our elder daughters and I felt an unknown magic that we thought to be holy magic."
"I know, our daughter Elle told me."
"I've also recently been told that we have a new guest in our home. One you brought back yourself, a human girl that you haven't transformed yourself. Is she the source of your anger?" He asked in a deadly tone that held hints of curiosity.
The Demon Lord shook her head. "No, not my anger. But she is the one that started it and made me remember my greatest failure..."
Her husband looked deep into her eyes with the love and compassion that he sent. "What is this failure of which you speak? You have never spoken of this over the centuries we've been together. If you have reasons to keep it hidden from even me, why does this girl make you remember now?" He questioned.
The demon was silent for a moment as she tried to gather the right words to speak. "...A promise I made long ago. One that hurts more than any sword that would wound me."
She had her husband's full attention. "What was it?"
"The promise to return home."
That raised an eyebrow on the incubus. "I do not understand."
"Nor do I expect you to, my dear. Gather our daughters, all of them that are here, and nearby, send them to the throne room. They all should hear this as to what is said will no dought shock all of them."
Her husband nodded in agreement. He knew if it had involved all of their daughters, it must be important. "Very well, I will send word to gather them. Just know, I love you no matter what."
The small effection of that sentence filled her with more love then it should. It made cry tears of joy. They departed, and the Demon Lord made her way towards the throne room. Thoughts swirled her head on what she needed to say. It wasn't long before she reached her destination and sat on the seat of power that has been her claim for hundreds of years. Something that made her proud as it brought most the monster races of the world together. Even with disputes between a few that created factions that raided against each other. With the humans in this world, they have developed a symbiotic relationship together; for monster girls can't produce male monster offspring as monster girls can birth female children associated with there race and the uncommon human male child. Although the chances of that are slim among races like the Bugs, Reptile, and Plant races of the world, while it is easier for others such as the Beast folk, Elves, and Demons.
There was also the fact that the world was a bigger place then what people would think, it helps balance the world they live together. Humans still outnumber them greatly, but the monsters of the world still hold a considerable margin of power.
The Chief God's were also a thorn in her side with how their influence is on the human nations. The Chief God's agents thus began turning them in demon-killing grounds for any monster that wanders in or near their territories. And they dotted the map of the world and made travel to some places difficult for many monsters.
The Overlord of the Demon Relm shook her head. She was distracting herself from why she was here in the first place. Looking around the room, she saw many of her daughters had already gathered. Some were standing in groups conversing with each other while others were utilizing their wings and lying around.
They all were also keeping their respective distance from her as she must have a look about her that kept them away. That was a rare moment to be sure as all her children are welcome. She loved them all equally and dearly, no matter of age or preference they have in lovers, or on the super rare occasion of even if they were born humans, and they've turned into a Lilim. None the less, she was considered by all to be the mother of the Lilim, and she took that title to heart.
She then began counting them off in her head and putting their names down on a mental list. She physically birthed most of her daughters and recognized them all despite them all having the same color hair and eyes like their mother. She saw those that live in the castle were here along with those in the neighboring villages. Word spreads fast when the queen requests a meeting.
It wasn't long before her beloved husband, and the remainder of her Lilim that lived near had arrived. Those that were still missing were out too far in the world where they're on their travels for knowledge and or looking for a husband, or they live too far away to summon directly.
"We are gathered dear, just like you requested," her beloved said to her. The Demon Lord nodded before turning to her family. She quickly counted all those in her room and found that eighty-seven Lilim had answered her call.
"Hello, my children. No doubt, you are all wondering why I've summoned you all today," she spoke out to the assembly.
"We are Mother, what has happened that has made you call for all us?" Spoke one of the Lilim, Nemma, as the Demon Lord recognized as one of her youngest demons.
"Is it that girl you brought back, Mother? Those of us in the castle saw you fly in with her in your arms?" Asked a heavily scared the Lilim, Vasir is her name. The mother nodded. "What is she then that brings the attention of all of us?"
The Demon Lord was silent as she heard her children start to mutter to each other. "For me to answer that is a tale that is long and may prove difficult to understand. I ask you all to bare an open mind as I tell you. Are you ready?" She asked all those before her. When they all agreed, she began. "To know who that girl in the room upstares is, you must know where she comes from and who her mother was."
"Who was she, Mom? She must have been important to you if it has you scared like this," a Lilim named Casca asked.
Deamon Lord didn't answer right away. She instead waved her hands as she cast an illusion into there. As the Lilim looked up, a human woman appears from the spell.
She stood with a stance that showed pride. A white cloak hung from her shoulders over a black high-neck décolletage blouse with studded wristbands on the arms, a black and white overbust corset, a skirt with white tulle underneath, gray leggings, and knee-high boots with red soles. For the few demons that saw the girl that their mother brought in, they recognized that their black to red tip hair was a match. But what caught the attention of every demon in the room was her hard but kind silver eyes.
The same kind of silver that is present in the eyes of every Lilim.
"Her name was Summer Rose. A human from another realm not too dissimilar from our own. A leader, monster slayer, a friend to many, wife, mother, and above all..." She paused to look at her children once more, saving the memory of what she was about to reveal. "My human identity before my forced conversion into a succubus."
Silence rang through the air like a graveyard.
"Oh...My head."
Ruby grunted as she stirred herself awake. She felt weak. Like she went face to face with Yang in a fistfight several times and lost each one followed by running around Patch with her semblance. The young Huntress tried to move her body, but every muscle felt sore to her. Plus, there was a migraine in her head, thou luckily she was feeling it going away. As the little reaper tried to move, she feels something soft around her. Ruby realized that she was in a bed, but not one she was familiar with as the material felt softer than what she was used to. Feeling that she had enough, Ruby forced her eyes open.
Looking from where her head rested at first, Ruby could tell that she did not know where she was.
For one, the ceiling above her was in a dark royal purple. Next came the pink silk blanket that covered her. Moving her head around, she saw she was in a room that was five times the size of her team's dorm room. Everything about the place screamed fancy high rich people's life that Wiess grew up living. From the seemly smooth surface of black marble floors to the decorative wooden furniture placed against the walls. This place was definitely to rich for her.
"Um...did I end up in Atlas or something?" Ruby muttered as she slowly wiggled herself out of bed.
Feeling her feet touch the cold floor send a chill up her body but continued to push herself up. Looking down at her self, she saw that she was no longer wearing her favorite red hood or combat skirt. Instead, she was wearing a red silk nightdress similar to the white one Weiss wears. Now on her feet, Ruby began exploring her surroundings.
The more she looked, the more Ruby thought that she was in Weiss's home in Atlas as it fit the costly big wig deal. But then she remembered the one time Weiss talked about her home. Her partner mentioned that it was made of white marble and snow glass. This place was the exact opposite in color so she can rule Weiss. So the question stands, where is she? The last thing she remembered was running up Beacon tower after Juane called her to find and help Pyhrra...only to be late to save a friend a second time in the same day.
Seeing sunlight coming through a clear glass door leading out to what appeared to be a balcony. It was just enough to distracter Ruby from what had happed, but now she needed to know where she was and what happened to her family and team. Just what is happening at Beacon?
"Well, let's see where the heck am I?" With that, she grabbed the handle and walked out.
Blinking away from the initial blindness from the sun, Ruby gasped in shock and awe at what she is seeing. She was high up, off the side of a mountain. Down below stood old battlement that reminded Ruby of the documentaries from Dr. Oobleck about the great war. As if she was is some castle in a fantasy game, Ruby saw towers and solid stone walls. Over the wall, she saw a large town with thatched roofs.
Ruby couldn't believe her eyes as it was all surreal. She may not have traveled much outside the Kingdom of Vale, but she was pretty sure most people don't use straw and weeds for their roofs anymore.
"What's going on? Just where on Remnant am I?" Other then the wind blowing her hair back, Ruby received no answer. Walking back inside the bedroom she woke up. "If I can't find answers here, then its time to go looking for them myself. Someone around here must know where I can get back to Vale." It was then she felt a small draft between her legs. Looking down at herself, she pulled up her nightgown and saw she wasn't wearing underwear. "But...maybe finding something to wear would be just as good." She finished as she felt her cheeks heat up from embarrassment.
Taking another round at the room, she saw a pair of wardrobes on one side. Walking over and opening the first one revealed a bunch of weird-looking underwear and bras. Some of them looked like they double as armor.
"Wow, and I thought Blake has some weird underwear with those thin purple lace sets. Just who thinks wearing something like this under your clothes is a good thing? Weiss would freak if she saw this, and Coco would likely faint from just the sight of it, " Ruby commented, and she picks one of the metal bras up.
Setting the armor bra back where she found it, Ruby went over and opened the next one. This one had more modest clothing inside.
"Ooooohh! I like this." After a few minutes of changing into the new clothes she got.
Now Ruby had on a white high-neck décolletage blouse with brown studded wristbands. There was also a black skirt with red tulle underneath, somewhat similar to her combat skirt. When she had it on, Ruby finished it off her look with a pair of dark brown leather knee-high boots that seemed to fit her feet snugly.
"Not bad if I do say so myself. Now let's go explore the castle!" Ruby declared before marching to the door.
Grabbing hold of the nob, she slowly cracks it open and reveals the hallway. Peeking her head out to see if anyone there, she saw none and began walking out and down a random direction.
"This has been quite a day," the Lilim guard captain said with a sigh. It has only been only a day since their mother dropped a mega spell of info on her and her sisters. Throughout the history of the current Demon Lords rule, there has been wild speculation about where her origins originated. From being the secret bastard daughter of the old Demon Lord to being from a forgotten bloodline of ancient demons. But what mother told them has put all that to rest. Elle shook her head. She was walking down the hall to her newly revealed lost sister, Ruby Rose. "To think that mother was once human and a monster hunter at that?! Still can't wrap my head around this."
"Tell me about it."
Elle stopped and turned towards the voice only to meet one of her younger sisters. Mina, a young seventeen-year-old Lilim.
"I mean, talk about irony," Mina continued. "Mother being the current Demon Lord was once a human monster hunter, or a Huntress as she'd call herself. We all know dad was a human hero of monster-slaying before getting together with mom, so guess they had that in common."
"Even if she didn't remember it back then?" Elle replied.
The guard captain has always thought that Mina was a unique case among the Lilim. Don't get her wrong she loves all her sisters just like their mother. While like Elle and many other of their Lilim sisters had gorgeous, strong, and bountiful bodies with childbearing hips by the time they reach eighteen. Mina held a smaller athletic, sturdy body structure better suited for battle rather than sex appeal. Unlike most Lilim her age Mina had yet to take a husband. Most got their first mate around fourteen and fifteen due to finding the right partner at a young age and forming a connection with them. They're usually triggered when they first attracted to the scent of a man that fits them. That hasn't happened for Mina yet, and it has made their mother, along with a few sisters, worried. For Mina, she takes donated demonic energy from her sisters and mother rather than from any mates. Saying she will find the mate suited for her when she finds him.
"It was probably more on instinct." Mina shrugged. "Anyway, you heading towards our new sister?" She asked.
"Yes, I'm going to go check up on her. It has been over a day now that she has been here. Some of the sisters are getting worried. Plus, I'm also concerned about someone putting some of our demonic energy into her and turning her without consent."
That was a big issue in the eyes of their mother. Any human who chooses to become a demon or monster must be willing to accept its gifts unless it's under punishment. Otherwise, it's considered a wrongful convergence and a crime in the eyes of the current Demon Lord. While the succubi will follow these rules, the other races, mainly the beast folk of the forests and the Apophis of the deserts, do not. Monsters like werewolves can't stop due to the basic instinct of animals, while the Apophis doesn't care what others think.
"Mom would flip if that happens under her roof and to the only human child she gave birth too. Although, I am curious to see what she would turn into if we gave her a random infusion of Domonic energy." Mina commented.
"Don't get any ideas, sister." Elle stopped before turning to glare at her sister.
Mina had her hands up in mock surrender. "Relax, I want to live till I find the right guy for me first before I die. Mom would have my wings if I did something like that." They continued walking for another minute until they reached the guest wing of the castle.
"Which room is she in?"
Elle point at one door. "This one he... oh no," Elle said in shock as the door was slightly open. Elle switched into serious mode, and forcefully entered the room with her fears confirmed.
"Ruby is gone!" Mina said, looking around worriedly as she saw the room empty. "Did someone take her?"
Elle looked around the room for any clue of what happened. Her eyes soon fell on a discarded red nightgown by an open wardrobe. The same ones she saw the maids dressed her sister the other day. Grabbing and inspecting it, she saw no clues of any creature ripping it off, and the spare clothing in the wardrobe was missing as well.
"Looks like our sister woke up and decided to explore the castle," Elle explained.
"That's not good," Mina pointed out.
"Damn right, it's not. We have to find Ruby before trouble finds her. I thought I had a sentry posted at the door? Where is she?!"
"Um, there, I think." Mina pointed back at the door they came in.
Elle turned to go back out and opened the door that was on the other side of the hall. There she saw a fellow sister Lilim with a female Werewolf both looking satisfied at being impaled on a massive shared sex toy. They were going at it hard as Elle recognized her sister Glee with her packmate, Lenx.
Elle remembered that Glee was in a relationship with a harem of mostly naturally born Werewolves. The pack was pretty close to each other, and Glee's packmate, Lenx, was also part of the maid staff and currently fucking her sister. Which was bad as their human sister Ruby could have been endangered of being turned into a werewolf without consent.
"Glee!" Elle shouted, making the Lilim and Werewolf 'Yelp!' in surprise and turn to the guard captain. "Why am I'm not surprised?"
"Elle! What are you doing here?" Glee asked in an innocent voice like a child caught with her hand in a cookie jar.
"Oh! Captain! What are you doing here?" Glee said in a slight panic.
"I was going to check in on our recently discovered lost sister to see if she had wakened up. Only to find you, who suppose to be guarding the door to her room here fucking like Wererabits in HEAT!" The Captain shouted at her sister, making her wither under the verbal assault.
"B-But-" Glee tried to speak.
"Don't speak." Elle cut her off. "Whatever excuse you have, save it for mother for she will hear of this, you are going to be in a lot of trouble for this. That is for later, for now, we have a much bigger problem. Without you watching the door, our sister is now awake and is out of her room. We need to find out where she's gone before anything happens to her."
Elle then turned to Mina. "Go inform Mother that Ruby is awake and is out unsupervised by anyone."
"What do we do?" Lenix asked, speaking for the first time.
Elle turned back and glared at the Werewolf. "Pray nothing happens to her or see what comes to you after I'm done fucking the both of you."
A cold shiver shot up their spines just then from that threat, for they knew that when the Captain of the guard makes a threat, she delivers.
Elle then walked back to Ruby's room and grabbed the nightgown she was wearing before going back and tossing it to the Werewolf maid. "Lenix, follow the scent on this and take us to its owner."
"Me? Why me?" Lenix asked in a slightly annoyed tone, but the Lilim Captain was having none of it.
"Because wolf," Elle stated dangerously. "If you don't follow this scent within the next ten seconds. I will have you strapped in one of the denial dungeons above the mother's chamber till the Witches have their next Black Sabeth."
"WHAT?! But the Witches just had one last week, and the next one is not of another three months?" The Werewolf replied in frantic worry. The denial dungeons were by far the worst punishment for a Beastmen like a Werewolf to receive. Due to the intense sex the current Demon Lord receives daily, the fumes from her lovemaking would make any monster go wild and crave sex. So it was proposed that several vents be put in place for the air in her room to vent into these unique chambers for those receiving punishment for crimes. The stench of sex quickly catches whoever is in there, whether they be human or monster, and they immediately crave for sex. Worst still, they are strapped down in place, unable to find relief. Most don't last till the end of the first week before going stark mad for sex willing to do anything for pleasurable relief.
"Your point?... Five seconds, by the way." Captain Elle deadpanned.
Lenix quickly grabbed the nightgown in a panic and put it to her face, followed by a deep breath. Committing the scent to memory, the Werewolf jumped out of the room, taking a few sniffs in the air of the hallway before following its trail.
Mina, who had yet to leave, turn to her sister with her deadpan stare. "You do realize you just sent a naked horny Werewolf into a panic frenzy with the worst punishment in the kingdom, just to chase down our very human sister, right?"
Elle thought about what Mina said for a moment... then two... and three.
"Oh-"
"-wow, how big is this place?"
Ruby had been walking around for a few minutes and had yet to encounter anyone. It reminded her how big Beacon was when she and her sister first explored it. The broad corridors, sharp turns, and the same spaced door were similar to what Beacon's Dorms would feel. Ruby even opened a few doors and saw that they were all bedrooms like the one she woke up in, meaning she was in some kind of sleeping area. Or whatever the place you would sleep in a castle, maybe Wiess would know.
"Gee, you think a place this big you run into someone by now," she wondered aloud.
Ruby was beginning to feel a bit of apprehension of the lack of people. Just where is everyone? Ruby thought to herself as she continues to walk through the corridors. It was then she began to notice that the doors that were around her were different. The doors from the room she woke up earlier was dark lavender color, now these here are a soft pink.
"Maybe I should try another door?" Ruby shrug at the idea as she neared the nearest room. She was polite and gave a few knocks before she waited. Ruby knocked again but no answer, she thought she couldn't hear anything, so she twisted the nob and walked in. Looking inside turned out to be a big mistake.
Right on the bed was some white bat-winged Faunus riding on top of a man and doing the dirty.
"YES! YES! HARDER! FUCK ME! HARDER!" The strange Faunus cried out in pleasure as she bounced on his genitals.
Ruby stood in silence, unsure of what to do so. So she just calmly backed out of the room and closed the door before using her semblance to rush down the hall around the first bend to hid.
When she stopped, her back planted against the wall. Her face as red as her namesake. She was breathing hard at what she now witness. Ruby was by no means unaware of the nature of sex, having stumbled upon an adult web site for exotic sex toys when she was first building Crescent Rose then given the take of the birds and the bees. Her sister teased her to no end for a month before their father put a stop to it with the threat for a punishment of pink hair dye.
Ruby had done all she could for suppressing those memories and thoughts of boys regarding that. It probably would explain why she never got herself a boyfriend while at Signal or Beacon now that she thought about it, but was for another time.
The image of two people having sex was something Ruby did not need right now. Shaking her head in an attempt to rid the mental scars she just got, she went over and tried another door.
And instantly wished she didn't, when she spotted another white bat-winged Faunus giving a blowjob on a rather big man the size of Yatsuhashi. With Ruby walking right at the moment, the Faunus pulled off, and a jet spray of the man's cum covered the woman's face. The Faunus mouth hung open to catch as much of it as she can. When the man finished cumming, she closed her mouth and swallowed all she got before giving a wicked smile.
Ruby's mind felt like it was melting when she pulled herself back to the hallway. She imagined if someone was looking at her right now, they see steam flowing out of her ears.
"Ok... No more opening doors..."Ruby declared as she slowly walked down the hall.
"There you are!"
Ruby swirled around towards the way she came from to see a wolf Faunus standing a couple of feet away from her. The teen saw that this girl was pointing a claw at her and was also naked.
"What?" Ruby replied in total confusion as she took in the appearance of the person. "Me?"
Ruby had met a few Faunus in her time at Beacon and the occasional fight with the White Fang, but this one was unique. She had shoulder-length brown hair and big gray wolf ears on her head. Now normally, that would be it as her teammate Blake explained that Faunus has only one set of animal parts such as ears and claws. But the women she saw had more than that, with wolf ears, furry claws, pawed pets, and a long wading tail. Something like this should be impossible for any Faunus to possess.
The impossible Faunus sniffed the air, and her jade eyes locked onto her. "Yes, you are the one! I will not be thrown into the denial dungeon because of you!" The crazy wolf roared before she pounced at the redhead.
Ruby's mind instantly went to a place where she stored everything from the time she read one of Blake's filthy books. Seeing the attack, Ruby rolled under the pounce before taking off running.
"I don't know you! Why are you after me?!" Ruby yelled at the crazy Faunus, only get another roar in reply as the wolf began her chase the teen. Hearing the roar of a beast made Ruby activate her semblance, trying to get away from the crazy women chasing her.
"Damn it, where is she?" Said the guard captain. She and Glee had only just lost sight of the beast folk.
"Who? Ruby or Lenix?"
"Both?!" Shouted Elle. Making Glee wilt from the shouting. That was when a tiny lady in red ran passed them in the opposite direction, leaving a trail of roses behind her. "Whoa!"
"EXCUSE ME!" Shout the red blur as it raced away.
Before either could comment, Linex ran past them two, barking like a dog rather than a wolf, and running on all fours.
"Wha- Lenix!" Glee shouted before running after her packmate.
Elle sighed in frustration before turning around. She was going to need more than a few drinks before the end of the day.
Mina moved as quickly as she could to inform their mother of the growing development. Mina, closing her eyes and focusing her mind, she stretched out her senses out and found that her the demon lord was in the thrown room rather than with dad in bed. That had been good as that was coming up. Better then their bedroom was on the other side of the castle while they were in their eight hour moment.
The little trick she did to find her was uncommon among monsters in general. Out of her many sisters, barely a dozen poses that skill, their mother included. To be able to sense the magic of an individual from a distance and tell who they belong too.
Upon reaching the door to the throne room, Mina also felt the familiar magic presence of a few of her sisters and Father. She was about to cut herself of this feeling when she felt a new unknown presence moving fast.
And it was heading right towards her from behind!
Mina's eyes widen before turning around to face a possible incoming threat!
Only to see the missing human sister they were looking for running straight at her with a flurry of rose petals.
The last thing Mina saw before everything went black was the sight of a panicking human going supersonic into her face.
The collision between the demon and the Huntress blew the two through the doors and into the throne room.
Ruby rolled a few times over the floor that made her eyes and head spin in circles. Shaking her head, she looked down and discovered that she ran over another white wing bat Faunus, currently face down on the floor. "Another one? Are you all related?"
Her question left unanswered as she soon heard the sound of more barking. Looking back up, Ruby saw the crazy wolf Faunus closing in ready to pounce on her and drag her to who knows where!
The redhead Huntress was running her mind at a hundred miles an hour on what to do. She had no weapon, she was worn out from running at full speed with her semblance, and she was about to be attacked by a madwoman.
"I have you now!" The wolf roared as she jumped at her.
Then a dumb idea came to Ruby.
Lenix felt her jaw forcefully close as the human she was chasing gave an unbelievable kick to her jaw. She felt her body go upwards to the ceiling, and before she knew it, she did a complete backflip and landed face-first on the ground.
Ruby knew she was never any good at hand to hand like her older sister or Dad. But due to all the running Ruby completed in her life had given her some strong legs!
The Huntress in training waited for the perfect moment. She swung her leg up with her semblance in full swing into a back leg front kick on the wolf's mouth, sending her away.
End with a striking pose, Ruby looked at the handiwork and couldn't believe it. She had just beaten someone without her weapon!
'Who knew watching all those Buck Norris movies will be so helpful? I may have to watch a few from Dad's collection again sometime.' Ruby thought before she started doing a little happy dance.
"Everybody was kung-fu fighting! Those strikes were fast as light-oh..."
Ruby cut off her sing and dance when she had an audience. This one made up primarily of white batwing female Faunus. In addition, the redhead noticed they all had black horns curved forward over their heads. She saw they also had the same color of white hair and silver and red pupiled eyes. Thinking back to the others she saw in the castle, they all have the same features.
'Are they all clones?' Ruby wondered.
"Ruby?"
That voice hit the deeper sections of Ruby's mind. It sounded similar to the one voice that echoed in her happiest memories. That gave joy to her dreams, like freshly baked cookies and warm milk. Ruby looked hard at the owner of the voice and felt her through tighten and eye glued to the speaker.
This woman was like the other Faunus in the room, but she stood out over the rest. She had a very elegant and voluptuous body that would make any man, and many women fall over in lust and envy. She had very long and white hair; the horns on her head were rather intricate compared to the rest of the others but didn't take away any of her beauty. Finally was her magnificent wings that were half the size more significant than the rest of the girls in the room. The woman walked forward when Ruby locked eyes with her.
As she walked up, Ruby felt rooted in place. She had felt this way since the first time she hesitated to kill her first Grimm. But that time was out of fear; this was something else. The aura the woman emitted felt like raw power. Like it was crushing her, similar to standing next to Yang when she unleashed her semblance at full power. Then there are her eyes.
Silver with red rings inside black sclera. Each showing age, kindness, and love.
Before she knew it, the woman was standing in front of Ruby. The teen felt her body tense when the woman spoke in that voice again.
"It has been too long, Ruby."
"How do you know me?" Ruby mange to ask without stuttering.
The woman looked at her now in sadness. "I imagine that it had been some time. But know that I have always loved you, little petal."
Ruby's eyes couldn't get any bigger. That was the nickname her mother gave her when she was still alive. Only her family knew it, and no one else.
It was then Ruby took in more of the woman's face, making her mind going into overdrive as it finally struck home. Aligning the cheekbones and the chin, the placement of her eyebrow and ignore the hair color. She'd look just like...
"Mommy?"
Tears fell from the woman's face. "No matter how apart we are, I will always love you, my little rose."
The two embraced with tears flowing down their eyes, the Demon Lords' wings unfolded and hugged around Ruby's form. The blood flowing through the leathery skin produced a soothing warmth. Like a mothers love to her child.
