Hello there! Welcome legends to the next chapter of Light Bringer Stories: The Witcher.
Hope you enjoy it has much as I had writing it. This one is a bit more relaxed chapter, not a filler because the plot does proceed but mainly some Cirifer fluff.
And now review time.
dragon rose 11: Might sound weird, but I don't have a lot of contact with other author's.
Now story time also lemon warning.
Lying where important trade routes converge, on the shore of Lake Vizima in the valley of the Ismena River, a tributary of the Pontar sat Vizima, the capital of Temeria. Following the regicidal events of the previous game, Nilfgaard invaded a weakened Temeria, subjecting its capital city to occupation. Residency of the Royal Palace has been taken up by Emperor Emhyr var Emreis.
Flanked by Lucifer and Geralt, Ciri walked into the garden where the emperor of Nilfgaard himself with his delegation was waiting for them, each of them dresses in fine clothes, with the most dominant color of their clothes being black.
"Oh, bloody hell." Lucifer muttered as he looked at their choices in clothes, "Michael would love their fashion sense."
"Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon." Emhyr spoke with his deep voice, "Queen of Cintra, Princess of Brugge and Duchess of Sodden, heiress to Inis Ard Skellig and Inis An Skellig, and suzeraine of Attre and Abb Yarra."
"She has more titles than bloody Daenerys... Does she have the most titles?... No, she is second only to me." Lucifer thought as people in the garden began to bow before them more specifically Ciri.
"Get used to it. Before long every soul from Nilfgaard to the Dragon Mountains will kneel before you." Emhyr said turning to Lucifer and for the briefest moment, his eyes widen in recognition, "And who would you be?"
"Lucifer Lux." Lucifer said before clearing his throat, "Proprietor of 'Morning Star', the Fallen Archangel, Shining One, Star of Morning, Light Bringer, Prince of Darkness, King of Hell, Cirilla's boyf..." he would have continued to list off all his titles if it wasn't for the witcher with him to interrupt him.
"That's enough, Lucifer." Geralt said sternly, wanting to be gone from this place as quickly as possible.
Emhyr's gaze left Lucifer and he turned to Geralt, "I did not expect you to keep your word, witcher." he said.
"We're here because of Ciri." Geralt said bluntly, "She wanted to hear what you have to say."
"And she will." Emhyr said gesturing with his hand, "Your reward."
One of his servants came walking up to Geralt, holding up a box with a hefty sum of coin. Though going by the dimensions of the box and the size of a single Crown, Lucifer figured it could be no more than two-thousand in it.
The Devil looked from the emperor to the witcher, wondering what the White Wolf would do. He didn't need to wait long for his answer as Geralt told the emperor bluntly, "Didn't came to collect on a deal. You asked me to bring your daughter here. I did just that."
Lucifer gave a subtle but approving nod at this, his intuition made him know that Geralt made the right choice here.
"Are you sure?" Emhyr said after a moment, "Never again would you need to stalk monsters while wading through sewage."
"A mere two-thousand crowns can do that?" Lucifer said, gaining the attention of all those present in the garden, "Sound like a bunch of dragon dung to me."
Though he couldn't care less what they thought of him, the only thing that mattered to him was that Ciri gripped his hand and softly squeezed it, knowing she approved of what he said even if she couldn't openly show it, though she urged him not to continue.
"Your companion has a colorful way of speaking, witcher." Emhyr said as he once again looked at Lucifer before turning to Geralt, "But I understand. Honor prevents you from accepting coin. in that case, a stallion, a thoroughbred Nilfgaardian, awaits you in the stables. Treat it as an expression of my gratitude."
Lucifer watched on as Emhyr turned his gaze from Geralt to Ciri, "Now forgive me. I wish to speak to my daughter." he said and his burning amber eyes turned to Lucifer, "Alone."
The Devil had shown no intention of leaving, not wanting to leave his beloved alone with the man that send off all sort of red flags in his head. "Go on, Luci." she whispered, "I'll be back shortly."
"Alright." Lucifer said as they let go of each others hand, "But I'm just one call away."
Walking out of the garden and back into the throne room where they would be waiting for Ciri to finish her talk with her birthfather. Lucifer couldn't shake the feeling that he had known the man from somewhere before.
"Emperor Emhyr var Emreis... He seemed familiar... Was he a hedgehog at some point in his life? Probably not. Still he's an interesting man, one that doesn't strike me as someone that doesn't do anything at random. Probably giving the Crown's back there and then was a deliberate attempt to drive a wedge between you two." Lucifer said as he walked next to Geralt, "Still his voice is impressive, if nothing else. Well I say her father, but Emhyr isn't her daddy."
"What are you going on about?" Geralt said annoyed.
"What? Are we not making small talk?" Lucifer said surprised, "So what do we do now?"
"We wait for Ciri to finish her talk with Emhyr." Geralt told him with his arms crossed.
"Yes, I know that. But what do we do to pass the time?" Lucifer said before an idea popped in his head, "How about we play a game. There is this one I'm fond of, have you ever heard of Gwent?"
But their attention was drawn to a voice behind them as one of Nilfgaard's generals comes walking up to them, approaching Geralt in a friendly manner.
"White wolf! Good to see you!" the general said, sounding very camp to the ears of the Devil, "You had no trouble crossing the Pontar, I trust? Who is this man with you, is he a fellow witcher?"
"While I would like to be one, unfortunately no, I'm not a witcher." the Devil said, "Lucifer Lux."
"Morvran Voorhis." the general introduced himself then proceeded to talk about the war effort, saying that while there were still some troublesome regions, with the death of Radovid he assured them that they would bring order to the area before the Ciri the princess becomes Ciri the empress.
"Ciri hasn't agreed to that yet." Geralt told him.
"Yes, of course, she's tactful, not one to celebrate an offer not yet made..." Morvran said rather sure of himself, "But this is not the kind of offer one refuses."
"Of course not." Lucifer said shaking his head.
"Do you know any who would not like to be emperor of Nilfgaard?" Morvran said, "Can you imagine? I thought only the wine-addled minds of bards and poets could give birth to such stories. The prodigal daughter of the most powerful ruler in the Continent's history returns, on the eve of his final triumph, to embrace her inheritance. Simpletons adore such stories, as they do the princesses, ever beautiful and delicate. With the right man beside her, the empress will continue a golden age. Of course I'm my father son, I hope the emperor makes her pick the right decision."
"And who would that be?" Lucifer snapped in a fit of jealousy, "You?"
"Of course." Morvran said looking at the Devil, "Who better?"
Morvran took a step back as Lucifer took a step forward as his eyes glowed red and his eye-white turning black. But the blonde Devil stopped when he felt the firm hand of Geralt gripping a hold on his upper arm, making his eyes turn to normal.
"Down. Stay." Geralt said dryly, releasing his hold once he saw him calmed down, "Good Devil."
The door opened and a distressed and furious Ciri came into the hall, "Lucifer, Geralt. We are leaving."
In an instant, Lucifer appeared in front of her surprising Morvran by the sudden display of speed, something Geralt had accustomed to.
"Is everything alright?" Lucifer said at once, "Do I need to go in there and have a word with the emperor?..."
"No, I don't want you to level the city to the ground." Ciri said as Geralt walked up to them and the trio began to walk away, "If he thinks he can buy me, he is sorely mistaken."
"He offer anything specific?" Geralt said.
"Yes, very specific and thoroughly absurd." Ciri said with bitter anger, "Sorry. I don't want to talk about it. Not now, at least."
A few days later, the trio of Lucifer, Ciri and Geralt arrived in the free city of Novigrad, more specifically at Glory Lane, a district located at the southern part of the city. It is bounded by the city wall to the south, and the canal to the north, beyond the more northern districts Silverton and the Bits.
They walked into the place once called the Rosemary and Thyme, but now a sign which read 'Chameleon' was hanging above the door,
"What happened to this place." Lucifer said as he spotted the sign.
"Dandelion renamed it." Geralt said, "Didn't you know that?"
"No, I did not." Lucifer said as the trio entered the Chameleon which seemed much more lively than the last time Lucifer was there.
Almost immediately he heard the voice of a familiar dwarf shout, "Dandelion! Ready some tankards! We've guests."
Zoltan came walking over to greet them, just as Dandelion appeared from behind the bar
"Geralt! Ciri! Lucifer!" Dandelion said as he came walking up to them as well, "When I learned Geralt had found you..."
"Glad to see you in one piece, too, Dandelion." Ciri said.
"And it's good to see you together with Lucifer." Dandelion said, "He burned half the city down looking for you."
It was then that they where greeted by none other than a happy Priscilla, who first greeted Lucifer with a hug before turning to Geralt and Ciri.
"It's so good to see you again." she said before turning to the ashen-haired woman, "You must be Ciri! Lucifer went through such great lengths to find you."
"I have heard." Ciri said with an amused side glance to her beloved, "Like burning down half the city."
"I did not!" Lucifer protested, "Only the Mage Hunter headquarters and the prison on Temple Island. Hardly half of the city."
"There is plenty of catching up to do, but you two look like you could use some rest!" Dandelion said, "You look terrible!"
"Gladly take some." Ciri said, "Point me to a room, preferably one with a double bed."
"Course." Zoltan said with a laugh, "Come on, little swallow, I'll take ye."
"I know you don't need sleep, but let's meet later, Luci." Ciri whispered to him, "I've a little matter to resolve and I could use your help."
"Anything you need." Lucifer said, staring into her green eyes.
"Then I'll freshen up." Ciri said with a happy smile, "And await you in the square in Gildorf."
"Careful Geralt." Dandelion teased his friend, "Soon you will be a grandfather."
"Oh, I hope they do." Priscilla said excited clasping her hands together, "Can you imagine how beautiful a child of those two would be."
"Won't need to." Geralt said slightly annoyed like the protective father that he is, "Because Lucifer can't have children."
"By the way, Lucifer." Priscilla suddenly said gaining the Devil's attention, "I'm slightly offended by you."
"What did he do now?" Geralt said.
"Now I feel slightly offended." Lucifer said calmly before turning to the blonde, "But I'm curious, what do you accuse me of?"
"I heard a tall, handsome, blonde man had taken down everyone at the Kingfisher in games of gwent." the blonde bard said, "How come you never mentioned you played?"
"You play gwent? Why didn't you say so! We can have a game right now." Lucifer said before suddenly getting a spark of inspiration, "Why don't we make it a little tournament, we could include Dandelion and Geralt as well."
"Anyone here besides us?" Geralt said, ignoring the blonde Devil as he turned to Dandelion, "Lodge of Sorceresses, Triss and Yen were supposed to gather the remnants."
"They're working on it." Dandelion said, "Triss is upstairs, waiting for you. Yennefer's gone to Crippled Kate's."
"Yen? At that portside dive?" Geralt said surprised, "Why?"
"Didn't inform me. Imagine that." Dandelion said, "Ah, and that elf of yours moved into the Ruby Suite. Told me to tell you he's waiting too."
"Thanks." Geralt said, "Looks like I'll have my hands full..."
"What? We're not doing the Gwent Tournament?" Lucifer said, sounding rather like a child who's Christmas was canceled, "Oh, well. Let's get to it."
After a short refreshment in one of the rooms upstairs, Lucifer stepped out of his room and into the hallway where he almost bumped into Triss, who was startled by his sudden appearance. Knowing what he was capable of.
"Pardon me, lady Triss." Lucifer said, "I didn't frighten you, my dear?"
"W-What? No, a face you like yours couldn't frighten anyone." Triss said quickly, "Just having trouble coming to terms with what you and your siblings really are and what that implies on a cosmological scale."
"Well the revelation of divinity can be a big deal to some, but it doesn't have to imply anything." Lucifer said trying to put the red headed sorceress at ease, "If it helps, just think of me and Uri as just two pretty faces."
"What about your brother?" Triss said slightly amused, "The black haired one that likes to appear in a ball of fire."
"You mean, Meta? I almost forgot you met him." Lucifer said casually, "Just think of him as just another face?"
"Just another face? He's not that bad looking." Triss said with a small smile, "I know this won't mean much, as I can't do anything against you..."
"Well you are correct on that last part." Lucifer said smugly, "But do go on."
"You better be good to Ciri." Triss said with the stern and threat of a older sister protective of a younger sibling, "Or I swear on whatever God's are out there, I will find a way to harm you."
"Believe me, my dear. Cirilla's happiness is the most important thing to me." Lucifer said, appreciative of the concern she had for his beloved, "Now, how is everything going with the... What was it? The Sisterhood of Hot Witches?"
"No, it's the Lodge of Sorceresses." Triss corrected him, "It doesn't look good... Ida outright refused, while Francesca won't budge from her little realm with a war raging. We don't know about Fringilla. Haven't been able to contact her."
"Okay, we know Keira is somewhere with Lambert." Lucifer said stroking his chin in thought, "Are there any others we could call upon?"
"Yennefer's looking into Rita's whereabouts." Triss said, "I have to figure out where Philippa is."
"Well if there is anyway I can be of assistance in this endeavor." Lucifer said with a slight bow, "You have but to ask, my lady."
Lucifer made his way towards the more affluent district in Novigrad, Gildorf. It is inhabited by the free city's social elite, nobles, wealthy merchants, townspeople, ambassadors and alike. He walked around the market, drawing a few wandering eyes to himself by lusting women and a few men as well. But he had only eyes for the ashen-haired woman which was covered with a hood, standing near a stall, browsing it's content.
"Anything I can help you with?" Lucifer said once he stood next to her.
"Just a pretty little trinket..." Ciri said as she held up a golden goblet.
"I'm pretty." Lucifer said with a cheeky grin.
"Maybe something less pretty." Ciri said with a smile of her own, "It's a present for someone. When I was last in Novigrad I had my share of troubles..."
"Oh really?" Lucifer said with mock surprise, "I never would have guessed!"
"A few people helped me then, others... not so much." Ciri recounted as she remembered her experience of the the last time she was in the Free City, "Now I mean to repay them both."
"As you should." Lucifer encouraged as the two began to walk, "I personally hate being in anyone's debt. The first thing I do should I owe someone, is to come up with some clever gift as a way of saying 'thanks'... Though there are some things even I'm unable to repay. Now where are we going?"
"The Bits." Ciri said and as they walked, she moved closer and grabs a hold of Lucifer's arm, gaining a surprised look, "What? This is what couples do right?"
"Are we a couple now?" Lucifer said with a smirk, enjoying the feeling of her around his arm as she enjoyed the feeling of his strong arm.
"As if you would want to be anything else." Ciri said getting a acknowledging chuckle from him before she got a frown, "Can we talk about something serious for a moment, about what happened in Vizima?"
"Sure, go right ahead." he said with a nod.
"I was offered the throne of Nilfgaard, while I initially refused, I have been thinking." Ciri said as she tried as best to put her worries to words, "When everything is over, I wanted to become a witcher, so I could help people. But if I would take the throne... I could help a lot of people.."
"I see, I see. But if you did, you won't be able to see Geralt as much as you would want to." Lucifer said with a nod, "I know it's a difficult decision, but know that if you become witcher Cirilla or empress Cirilla, you will have my full support."
"I know I will but..." Ciri said turning her gaze away from him, "Let's speculate for a bit, if I would become empress... I would need a husband to rule by my side. Would you... I mean, is that something you would want to become? Be my emperor?"
Lucifer did a double take at this, realizing what she was indirectly doing, "If that is where you need my support, than of course. I will become emperor Lucifer for you. Though I don't think I would be the best candidate." he said with a dropping smile, "They would expect an heir, and as you know, Angels can't produce offspring's."
"Well that's a problem for them." Ciri said at once and rather firm, "Because I will only bear the child of my beloved. The Devil I love."
"Good to know. But that decision is a long way off." Lucifer said with a grin, "If I would become your emperor, we would need to get married to make it offical right? You do realize that not only you would become empress of Nilfgaard, but also the queen of Hell? Not sure how that would work, seeing as there is only one Black Throne."
"Well, then I would just need to sit on your lap as we punish the damned souls." Ciri said with a giggle, "We are almost there. Almost at Whoreson's."
"What?" Lucifer said surprised, "But his place is on Temple Isle."
"So I thought, but I think we should check something first." Ciri said, "Zoltan claims the word is we're more likely to run into Whoreson around here."
And just as they turned around, they indeed found a shivering and broken man that was once Whoreson Junior sitting on the streets like any mangy vagrant and beggar.
"Think that is him?" Lucifer said as his beloved let go of his arm and she approached him.
"Who..." Whoreson said sounding slightly drunk, "Who goes there?"
"Yeah." Lucifer said dryly, "That is him."
"Remember me?" Ciri said dangerously cold.
"You... You cunt. You little arse-fucked whore!" Whoreson suddenly shouted, "You... you'll pay for what you did to me!"
In the blink of an eye, Whoreson was lifted off the ground and held in place against the wall by Lucifer with one arm.
"Now, now, Whoreson." Lucifer scolded in a deep growl as his eyes began to glow red as his eye white became pitch black, "Remember what happened last time you called Cirilla a whore?"
"Oh, God. It's you... It's..." Whoreson said before letting out a painful groan and Lucifer could hear that he was having a heart attack.
Lucifer dropped him, where on the floor the body of Whoreson, where it crumbled down in a heap, as his eyes turned to normal.
"What happened to him?" Ciri said slightly concerned.
"I happened to him." Lucifer said, and with a snap of his finger, he cast a spell that reactivated Whoreson's heart.
With a loud gasp, Whoreson looked around wildly as Lucifer and Cirilla still stood over him, "Oh God... You won't let me life, you won't let me die! I've naught left! Not a bloody scrap... of human dignity left!" Whoreson shouted as he tried to crawl away backwards from the two, "Your... Your the Devil!"
"Finally! Someone believes who I am." Lucifer said with a roll of his eyes, just before he realized Ciri was walking away.
Sparing Whoreson one last look before he walked after her. It wasn't difficult to catch up with her and once he did, Ciri began to talk, "On the way here, I didn't know what I'd do. Killing him was definitely an option."
"And why didn't you?" Lucifer said.
"Because this..." Ciri said looking over her shoulder, "This is a worse punishment."
"I think I'm rubbing off on you." Lucifer said with an approving smile, "What's next on the list."
"We've done the hardest part." Ciri said as they started to walk again, "Only the pleasant bits left now."
"Oh." Lucifer said with a knowing smirk, "Are we going to have sex?"
"Put that on a definite maybe." Ciri teased as she held his hand, "Unless your okay with being pegged, then it will be a definite yes."
"Oh, kinky." Lucifer said excited, "Let me lube up the strap-on!"
Ciri laughed as the two continued to walk.
After some time, the duo entered the Harborside in Novigrad. Unlike other districts, Harborside has no residential area as its primary purpose is to connect the docks to the city. As such, the whole district is made up of warehouses, both big and small, for easy importing and exporting of goods.
They entered the tavern named The Golden Sturgeon, a popular location for locals and travelers alike. Frequented by sailors and dockhands, this rowdy and expansive tavern has a reputation for violent behavior, where fistfights and the battle-hardened go to quench a thirst for mead and sometimes bloodletting.
"Gave you a chance." a burly man said to one of the waitress, as she was surrounded by two of his friends, "Shoulda taken it."
"I spit on anything you give me." she said.
"Oh bloody hell!" Lucifer shouted annoyed, drawing the attention to himself, "What does a Devil have to do to walk into a tavern and not have to deal with a bunch of boars harresing a waitress!"
"Stay out of this blondie!" one of them said, turning to Lucifer and Ciri, "This is not your concern."
"Well when I come across bunch of moronic idiots preventing a lady from doing her job and disturbing my chance at a good whisky..." Lucifer said as he stepped forward, "Than it becomes my problem."
"Your a fucking freak too!" another one shouted.
"A very dangerous one at that." Ciri shouted back, "He's the one who made Whoreson what he is now."
"What? So this is suppose to be the Devil?" one shouted, "I thought you where suppose to have black hair."
"I get that a lot." Lucifer said with a smirk.
"Yugen, if he really is the one who has done in Whoreson, he slew everyone guarding his mansion and broke Whoreson." the first one pipped up, "Let's get out of here."
"Ah, a voice of reason!" Lucifer said surprised, "How refreshing!"
As the burly men left, the duo turned to the waitress who thanked them profoundly.
"Shouldn't cross them." Ciri said concerned, "I told you."
She spoke to her as if she knew the waitress, so Lucifer figured that this woman before him was Bea, the one they came looking for.
"I'm to bar nonhumans from this establishment because some thugs threaten me?" Bea said stubbornly, "Not likely!"
"I like her." Lucifer said as the two woman embraced each other, happy to see the other again.
"It's good to see you again, Ciri." Bea said before turning to the tall Devil, "And who's your charming companion? Wait! Tall, blonde, a charming and confident aura about him? Is this him?"
"Lucifer Lux." he said with a bow, "Pleasure to meet you."
"So your THAT Lucifer!" Bea said with wide eyes, "Very nice to meet you! Ciri told so much about you."
"Oh, now you have peaked my curiosity." Lucifer said with a smile, "What did our common acquittance say about me?"
"For example, how you saved her, how you showed her how to enjoy life, how you always made her laugh and how you had stolen her heart. But her stories didn't do your looks justice." Bea recounted, "So what brings you here, darlings?"
"I wanted to thank you." Ciri said, "For everything."
"Oh, stop!" Bea said modestly, "Anyone would've done the same in my shoes."
"I'm putting some serious doubt on that." Lucifer said.
"And even less would have done it with such courage. Thank you." Ciri said, before removing a small box from her pouch, "This is for you. A trinket, to remember me by."
"Oh my, it's beautiful! Thank you." Bea said once she saw what's inside the box, "So? Will you stay for stew? Innkeep slaughtered a piglet this morning."
"Thanks, but we must still visit Farcorners." Ciri politely declined her offer.
"Ah, off to see Valdo, eh? Well, shan't stop you, then. They'll feed you properly there too, no doubt." Bea said, "Farewell to you both. And do take care of her, Lucifer."
"That's a deal." Lucifer said with a wink.
"Good." Bea said, "Ciri mentioned you never break a deal."
Lucifer and Ciri excited the tavern in a much better mood than before. As they walked along the docks, him following after her.
"So... She seemed nice." Lucifer said with a knowing smirk, "You and Bea."
"W-What of it?" Ciri said a bit too quickly.
"It's nothing." Lucifer said with a smirk, "You know, if you want to do it with a woman. I can become one."
"Now I know your just pulling my leg." she said shaking her head, "There is no way you can decide you gender on command."
"Oh, can't I?" Lucifer said smugly, giving her a knowing smirk.
"Right." Ciri said shaking her head, "Forgot for a moment who I was talking to."
At the edge of the forest near the city, Ciri led them to a small band of caravans seemingly belonging to a circus.
Lucifer followed after her as she approached to men, one being an elf and the other wearing white and black make-up which made Lucifer think he looked like a Insane Clown Posse reject, or a member of the Insane Clown Posse in general.
"Ciri! You devil incarnate!" the elf said as they approached, which made her give Lucifer an aside glance, "Where've you been!?"
"Come here, darling!" the clown face said before noticing Lucifer, "Hallo, what's this? Brought your husband?"
"I'm not her husband." Lucifer said, "Yet."
Ciri shook her head before she spoke, "Allow me to introduce, Lucifer Lux."
"Greetings, Mr. Lux!" the elf named Valdo said, "We've heard heaps about you!"
"Only good things I hope. Please, call me Lucifer." Lucifer said, "You have my gratitude for helping Ciri."
"Oh, We had no choice!" Valdo said, "Found it hard to refuse a lass like her!"
"We can agree on that." Lucifer said and the two shared a laugh.
"Well, good you're here. Come in the nick of time!" Valdo said, "We'd have been gone by tomorrow."
"Your leaving?" Ciri said.
"They're to start resettling nonhumans shortly. We'd rather stay ahead of events." Aegar said seriously, "Problem is, we just lost two horses, and another two are too weak to haul anything."
"We'll manage somehow!" Valdo said quickly, "We don't leave till tomorrow, so naught to worry about today!"
"Yes... for some." Aegar said before turning around and walk away, "I'm off to see a merchant. There's a chance I can trade our nags for a healthy horse."
"Is there anyway we can be of assistance." Lucifer said.
"Oh, don't fret about us." Valdo said, "We always get by somehow, right, Ciri? Now, what brings you here?"
"I've come to apologize." Ciri said, "I disappeared so suddenly then..."
"Pish-posh!" Valdo waved it off, "What matters is you're back, and you're well."
Ciri gave a smile before walking forward with a small leather pouch in hand, "This is for you." she said, holding it out, "All that you loaned me plus a small premium."
"Ciri..." Valdo said shaking his head, "You know I can't take this..."
"Why ever not? You mortal love your money." Lucifer said, "Besides, you know she won't let you refuse."
"He's right you know." Ciri said with a cheeky smile.
"When am I not." Lucifer said smugly.
"Oh, I know!" Valdo said suddenly, "We'll make it the pot for a wager! Do you play Gwent?"
"Did someone say..." Lucifer said turning Valdo to flash him a grin, "Gwent?"
"Oh dear." Ciri said amused.
Later that day defeating both Voldo who played an 'Scoia'tael' and Ciri, who played a Northern Realms deck, but both where defeated rather handedly by Lucifer.
"The Devil wins!" Lucifer boasted proudly, "Flawless victory!"
"No fair." Ciri said with some amusement, "I'm your girlfriend, your suppose to let me win."
"No, I don't." Lucifer said with a smug grin, "Equal rights, equal fights."
"Lovely game!" Valdo said, having enjoyed his games, "Well, this calls for a celebration! Stay the evening! We've several barrels of Kaedwen's best. Bonfires to be lit soon round which all will gather! This night shall be ours!"
"I suppose it would be rude to decline." Lucifer said.
That evening, the celebration was on it way but as the revelries unfolded Lucifer sat on the side with Ciri next to him. He was given another round of wine as he took in the moment of calm, to enjoy it with his beloved he had been searching for for so long.
"I'm glad we stayed." Ciri said softly.
"I know! The wine isn't half bad. Wouldn't call it Kaedwen's best, but it's decent enough." Lucifer said giving a side glance, "Though the company is Cintra's best."
"Flirt." Ciri said with a playful tap to his arm, before suddenly turning somber. As if knowing what she felt, she suddenly felt an arm being draped over her shoulder.
"What's worrying you?" Lucifer said.
"What is to come..." Ciri muttered, "What awaits us..."
"If that's your biggest worry, than you have nothing to worry about in life!" Lucifer assured her as he rubbed her shoulder, "Before, you had Lucifer on your side and we quite handedly repelled the Hunt. But now you have Archangel Lucifer in your corner. That's like having a gwent card that not only flips the table but literally forces the other player into non-existence!"
"You make it sound like it will be easy..." Ciri said.
"Never said it would." Lucifer said, "But we got a lot going for our side. We can do this."
"I fear fighting the Hunt will only be the beginning. For me, at least." Ciri said, looking at her beloved, "Sometimes I wish to be ordinary."
"But being ordinary is boring." Lucifer said bluntly.
It was at that moment that Aegar had returned to camp and walked up to them. He had an extended a conversation with Ciri, who picked up on his worried expression.
"You seem concerned." Ciri said immediatly, "Things not go well with the merchant?"
"Lost cause. The man refused to trade." Aeger said somberly, "I told I'd buy, he asked three arms and a host of legs for one healthy animal. We need horses. But we'll have to find another way to get them..."
"You need to make a deal? Why didn't you say so!" Lucifer said amused as he stood up, "Tell me his name and I will apply my craft."
"I don't think it would do any good." Aeger said shaking his head, "Man's a stubborn as a..."
"Just tell him, Aeger." Ciri assured him, "Lucifer is the best at what he does."
"And what I do best is sex and making deals." Lucifer said taking a sip from his wine, "Just ask Cirilla."
About an hour later, Ciri was sitting on a wooden bench next to a worried looking Aeger. But the sounds of hooves galloping towards them turned their attention up ahead. Ciri smiled as she saw Lucifer riding ontop of one, guiding three others with him as he had some sort of cigarette in his hand.
"Told you he could do it." Ciri said as the two approached him.
"He did..." Aeger said amazed.
"Thanks, Lucifer." Ciri said as he gave her a smile, "What are you smoking?"
"Oh, the merchant had some really good pot." Lucifer said with a light giggle, "Didn't know they had that in this World."
"What did you do for the horses?" Ciri said next, curious what kind of deal he had made for them.
"...What horses?" Lucifer said with a grin as he looked around before spotting the one he was sitting on, "Oh this one. He wanted to be reunited with his ex-wife. Not very difficult."
Sliding off the horse, Lucifer gave her one last look, "They should get her a pair of wings, make her a little pegasus." he said with a grin.
"Thanks for your help." Aeger said, "And for visiting."
"Don't thank me. I only did it because it would make Cirilla happy." Lucifer said bluntly, "But still, your welcome."
Later that evening once they returned back to the Chameleon, he walked to the bar where he come across Dandelion, who upon spotting him waved him over.
"Lucifer! Good to see you again." Dandelion said as he placed two glasses on the bar and filled with Lucifer preferred type of distilled alcoholic beverage, "How was your day."
"Pretty uneventful. But I got to spend it with Cirilla, so it was automatically a good day." Lucifer said as the bard slid one of the glasses over the counter to him, "But I suspect there is another reason you wish to talk with me."
"Actually yes, your the Devil right?" Dandelion said, "Or your someone who believes he's the Devil as Geralt said."
"I am the Devil, yes." Lucifer said picking up the glass, "Where are you going with this?"
"Well I wondered, why are there so many demons with goat-like features?" Dandelion asked, "Like with a succubus?"
"Oh, yeah, they do look like that in this World, instead of hot demon chicks." Lucifer said, taking a sip from his drink, "Well aside from that one goat-fetish demon girl, Baphomet, I have honestly know idea. I don't even know why people have made the connection between goats and myself! I hate goats! I don't even like cheese made of them!"
It was then that he felt himself being dragged away by Ciri, "Nice conversation, Dandelion." Lucifer said, quickly picking up his glass, "We need to do it again soon!"
Being guided into Ciri's room at the Chameleon, where she closed the door behind them with a loud slam. Lucifer didn't even have the chance to say anything, before Ciri caught his lips with her own, and rather quickly she shoved her tongue into his mouth.
When they had parted all that remained was a thin string of saliva, "That was for being a good Devil." she said, enjoying the taste of whisky fresh on his lips.
"Happy to help you." Lucifer said with a smile, "Now, I remember you not believing something about me."
"What?" Ciri said, before she suddenly remembered how her beloved had claimed to be able to transform into a woman.
She watched as Lucifer moved his hand over his face as he threw his head back and when he looked back Lucifer had indeed turned into a female version of himself.
His face had become more feminine and slender, his hair now reached just past his shoulders and his right eye was hidden behind his bangs. He received a well endowed bust, perfect hips and a nice shaped behind.
"Oh no!" Ciri thought with a flustered face, "She's hot!"
"See something you like? Having some perverted thoughts about me running through your head, Cirilla?" Lucifer said, speaking with a deep seductive feminine voice though still with his posh accent, running a finger over Ciri's breast as he leaned in, "Am I prancing around them, wearing nothing but a smile on my face?"
"Y-Yeah." Ciri said mesmerized.
"It's always good to be honest." Lucifer said as he leaned downward and she leaned upward so that they met in between, their lips coming together to meet in a passionate kiss. Ciri's hands went up to her chest, giving her breasts a soft squeeze.
Their mouths moved in sync and taking advantage of this to explore the inside of the other's mouth before they parted.
"Like my breasts do you?" Lucifer said with a smirk.
"Yes..." she whispered, "And I want to ride you."
"If that is what you desire." Lucifer said with a chuckle as she slowly began to suckle at the croak of her neck and they fell to the bed with a thud.
Lucifer began to undress Ciri, not stopping until she was laying below her naked in all her glory. With a snap of her fingers, her own clothing disappear off her body and reappeared on the floor.
"Your breasts..." Ciri said, looking at her own, "They're so much bigger than mine..."
"Mine are bigger, but yours are pretty as well." Lucifer said as Ciri began to move down, leaving a trail of kisses over her body.
Ciri stopped at her feet, beginning to suck on her toes, prompting her to giggle. Lucifer began to move up her leg, when she reached her prize she began to suck on it and run her tongue up in her, bringing out moans from the bounty huntress, who began to pull at her ashen hair.
Much to her disappointment, Ciri broke it off and began to move her kisses further up.
Once she had moved her kisses up to her mouth, Ciri hands slowly reach out and gently grab both of Lucifer breasts. Lucifer softly moans as she squeeze them. Her breasts feel like two large water balloons in her grasp.
"Touch them all you want." Lucifer whispered husky, "They are all yours."
Her nipples can be felt in Ciri's palms as they are undoubtedly hard from what she's doing. Lucifer's hands touches down, the feeling of her fingers stroking her outer lips made Ciri groan while Lucifer starts to gently move her hand up and down.
"Time to get serious." Ciri moaned, sitting up, "Now spread those legs."
"Someone is commanding." Lucifer said with a smirk, "I like that side of you.", she snapped her finger, and a glowing strap-on made out of purple magic formed on Ciri's crouch.
"W-what's this?" Ciri said, poking the purple dick, and as her finger touched it, she felt the same as if her arm was touched, like it was a part of herself.
"A simple spell, gives you a strap-on that makes you feel every sensation, a true extension of yourself." Lucifer explained, "And I remember you saying you want to ride me."
"Indeed I did..." Ciri said, crawling back on the bed and rubbing the tip against Lucifer's vagina, "But I wanted to please you..."
"If your pleased, than I'm pleased." Lucifer said before letting out a moaned as Ciri began to kiss her neck, before moving to her ear lobe.
"Then let me please you." she whispered hotly in her ear as she forced Lucifer's legs apart, both let out a loud moan as Ciri penetrate her body.
Lucifer moaned louder as she forced Ciri's face against her breast, making her lick her exposed nipples, "A bit faster and a lot harder!" she commanded.
Ciri did as she was told as she began to give her thrusts extra force, making Lucifer's breasts jiggle each time their bodies collided. "Oh Luci!" she cries out as she continued to increase her speed.
But alas, all good things must come to an end. Especially since Ciri wasn't used toe the strap-on spell, and with one final thrust inward, as she felt her orgasm shoot out of her as though it was being fired out of a cannon, sending spurt after spurt into Lucifer, who's own orgasm spurt and coated Ciri's crotch region.
"Cirilla..." Lucifer moaned, as Ciri slowly pulls the dildo out of her, "That was great..."
"But..." Ciri said as she rolled on her back, "I came way too quick."
"Oh, we can work on that, it was only your first time with it." Lucifer said, softly rubbing her stomach with her index finger, "But you can't tell me your tired already."
"I guess I can go a few more rounds." Ciri said as her beloved snapped her fingers and the strap-on disappeared, "Do you always need to do that?"
Lucifer repeated the movement and she returned to her usual male form, "Do what?" he said.
"The finger snap." Ciri said, doing her own finger snap, "Do you always need to do that to preform magic?"
"Oh, no. I just like doing it, showing how little afford I need to put in." Lucifer said casually, "And it's not really magic, reality just bends and shapes to my will."
Ciri suddenly turned around so she was ass up and face down when she felt something poke her backside.
"Oh, Lucifer." Ciri said sultry, "Which hole are you going to pick?"
"I feel like giving that winking little hole in the back some attention." Lucifer whispered into her ear, "Is that okay with you?"
Ciri nodded before she felt spit drip down over her asshole, before she felt his wet meat prodding it apart. The two where in for a long, but pleasurable night.
That was the chapter, hope you enjoyed. Anyways many thanks to everyone who read, reviews, favorites or follows this, you beauties.
I put the scene where Lucifer talked with Triss mainly because I realized how little screen time she has had in this story. When I was writing that, I realized I never stated who Geralt is romancing... Oops.
As for how I imagine She-Lucifer to sound, well Hellena Taylor (Bayonetta from Bayonetta) sounds like a good one. First I thought of Jennifer Hale (Commander Shepard from Mass Effect) thought then I realize where did the British accent go? I still think it would be a good voice for She-Michael.
Anyways, I hope you will join me next time. Bye for now and I hope you will join me next time.
