Chapter 18: The Butterfly Effect

With a lot effort, I managed to turn my head to the side so I could see what was going on. Daniela was standing right in front of her mother who, as I had guessed earlier, was sitting on her throne. I couldn't see the Princesses face because she was facing the other direction. But the Queen appeared to be quite puzzled by her Daughters strange behaviour. "What do you mean sweetie? Fidelis won the duel." She then gave her daughter a reassuring smile. "Everything is ok now."

That was when I felt it. A horrible chill ran down my spine. The atmosphere in the room changed, and everyone felt it. The Imps started circling above the two girls like vultures awaiting a feast. Fidelis took a step forward with his hand on the hilt of his sword. The pixies stood (hovered) with him, ready for trouble.

Daniela giggled maliciously as she loomed over her Mother (who was now looking very scared.) "Things are not ok Mother….But they will be soon….I promise." Suddenly she spun around and looked straight at Fidelis. It was like she had become a completely different person. There was a wild look in her eyes. Her face was flushing furiously. Saliva was running down her mouth and her breathing had become long and heavy. "This is my chance!" Daniela announced excitedly. She pointed a shaking hand at the old man. "Pixies! Hold him down!"

There was hesitation. They didn't want to turn on their leader, that much I knew. But the nut case seemed to have control over the Pixies as well. After a brief struggle, they lost control of their bodies and pulled him to the ground, holding him down as he struggled under their combined weight. "What are you doing?" Fidelis shouted furiously, "Protect your Queen!" "I'm sorry Fidelis," Came Tiff's voice "but we have to obey our master."

Yusha dropped onto my chest with tears in her eyes. "Do something!" She pleaded. "I-I can't move!" was my response. I actually couldn't move (If I was able to move I would have been out of here by now!) The situation was getting pretty serious. Which is why I was quite surprised to see Ceana rising from her throne with an uncharacteristically stern look on her face. "Young lady!" She scolded, "This behaviour is unacceptable!" She then pointed a finger to a door on her right. "Go to your room and think about what you have done!" (….we're doomed.)

Her Mother's words appeared to have snapped Daniela out of her little episode. But I could tell she wasn't going to stop after coming this far. Whatever she was planning to do, she was going to do it now. She turned around and looked up to the Imps who were still circling above. "Girls….begin the ritual." A dozen very excited Imps swooped down and began tearing the girl's clothes away until they were both completely naked. The rest of them landed on the ground and formed a circle around them.

The Imps….did things to each other (it looked more like a peep show than a ritual if I'm honest with you.) In any case, their ceremonial foreplay produced some weird purple stuff to pour from their bodies like smoke. Congregating above their heads and forming into a very creepy looking cloud. "W-what's happening?" Ceana whimpered feebly. Her daughter smiled wickedly and answered, "This is the beginning….of a new world."

Daniela then rose her hands into the air and made a sweeping motion. Pulling the demonic cloud towards the orb of light. In a matter of seconds, the blinding light was completely encased by the dark cloud and the entire room went dark. "Daniela!" Fidelis suddenly called out, "Your Mother's life force is connected to that light! If you tamper with it she might die!" That didn't sound good. I didn't actually know that bit of information (though I guess stuff like that would be best kept a secret.)

Ceana was now curled up in a ball, sobbing uncontrollably like a child lost in the woods. Daniela lowered her arms and sat down next to her Mother. The next thing she did was quite unexpected. She pulled her Mother into a tight embrace and stroked her hair until she calmed down a little (talk about reversing roles.) "Don't be afraid Mother." Her Daughter said soothingly, "I'm just going to….make some changes."

After that, she kissed her. Right on the fracking lips! Naturally, Ceana jumped back in surprise. But her Daughter pushed her down and kissed her again, only much more passionately this time. Ceana tried to break free, but her daughter seemed to have no trouble overpowering her. Unable to fight back, Ceana eventually conceded and started kissing her back. Things escalated rather quickly after that (and that's putting it politely.)

Rather than watching them like some pervy teenager (which, I guess I already am,) I decided to focus my attention on the purple cloud above them as it started doing something rather strange. It started to pulse...like a heart? Let's just go with that, ok? It was as if the orb within was exploding repeatedly in a bid to break free. But every time it did so, the cloud would just absorb the shockwave and expand with a rumble that resembled thunder. It also started to glow in a few places. Lighting the room up in an ominous hue of purple as the girl's moans intensified. I could feel it. That horribly familiar sensation was beginning to take a hold of my body and mind. I hated it. It made me feel tainted and weak. It was demonic energy.

Fidelis continued to struggle as the Pixies obediently held him down. Yusha decided to bury her face into my neck and sob like a useless little baby. And I still couldn't move because of the stupid duel earlier. I guess this was the Chief Gods way of punishing me for sticking my big nose into other people's business. Oh well. All I could do was watch the show and hope I don't get fucked by someone. The funny thing is, despite everything, I still had the scarf covering my face. It made breathing a little difficult, but it did provide me some protection from the bonifying fumes floating in the air above.

It got to a point where Ceana and Daniela were screaming with ecstasy. The explosions coming from within the cloud were now so intense, the whole castle seemed to be shaking. Eventually, it could take no more. Just as the two of them were about to climax, water….well, something resembling water poured down onto the two girls like rain. I didn't really want to look at what was going on. But I'm sure you'd be a little curious yourself (so don't judge me!)

As the two of them got soaked in the demonic fluids, their bodies began to glow brightly. The raining stopped after only a few moments and the two girls rematerialized. Allowing me to see what had happened. They had transformed. Their beautiful fairy wings were now more batlike in appearance. Two small horns poked out of their foreheads and down below, they each had a pointed tail. They weren't Titania's anymore. They were Succubus. The only thing that remained was the patterns from their wings. Except now they decorated their bodies like tattoos. In the air, the cloud had completely evaporated. But now the orb of light had gone purple. Easier on the eyes. But creepy as all hell.

By now Fidelis has ceased his struggling. But he still looked very concerned about the wellbeing of his family. Yusha was still sobbing into my neck (getting very wet over here.) And as for the Queen. She was cuddling with her daughter. A blissful look her on both their faces. It was all making sense now. Daniela wanted to join sides with the demon lord by corrupting herself and her Mother with demonic energy. She might not be the Queen, but she would have no trouble keeping her under control using her body. She pretty much had the run of the place.

Daniela whispered something into her Mother's ear. Ceana simply responded with a nod, followed by a kiss. From the looks of things, I'd say her plan went perfectly. But then, Ceana started to lose her breath. "Mother….are you ok? Ceana tried to say something, but her words got caught in her throat as she fell to her knees. "NO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER!" Fidelis screamed out. "I….I…." The princess didn't know what to do. She spun around and yelled out to the Imps "What's happening to her!? Help her!" But the Imps were no help. They just started to panic. "What the hell's going on!?" "Don't ask me! I got no fuckin clue!" "Is she going to be ok?" "We didn't want to kill her….did we?"

Fidelis was now using every ounce of his strength to pull himself free. But the Pixies kept holding them down as their master had not yet given them new orders. "PLEASE! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" Ceana was now on the ground and no longer breathing. Tears poured from Daniela's eyes as she tried in vain to keep her Mother conscious. "Mother! Mother! Please don't die Mother!"

I tried to get up. But as soon as I sat up my head spun horribly and I fell back to the ground. Yusha somehow overcame her fears and flew over to a dying Ceana. "I'm sorry my Queen!" She sobbed "I'm so sorry!" Eventually, Ceana closed her eyes. And slumped into her Daughters arms. "Mother? Mother!? MOTHER!"
