The heroes Were Enslaved - Celine

War ravages the land outside the kingdom gates of Elura. Demons spawn out and attack travelers, enslave citizens, and decimate the farmland. Yet despite this...Knight Commander Celina would rather sit back and admire the flowers than study her troops.”

At the call from above, the knight commander looks up from the red rose picked between her fingers. The sunlight gave almost a glow to her silver adorned armor as her lancet was soon picked by the blond woman. The individual who had contacted her was the court magician. Her tall hat overtop of the pale white hair hanging down to her lower back equaling the size of her ample chest as she waves down at the commander.

“The Princess wishes to speak with you.” She calls out as the commander nods her head taking her leave of the garden.

The kingdom halls were decorated with adornments ranging all the way back to the founding some hundreds of centuries ago. The halls were wide and bright and the polished tiles were more than enough to accent the noise of Celina's boots when they made contact allowing maids to step to the side and bow toward the passing commander, to which she responds with a respectful nod. The throne room itself was far more vast than any other room the castle held as it served as both seat of the kingdom's power and meeting chambers for the townspeople. Seated at the throne was Princess Alicia, current ruler of the kingdom in the absence of the Queen. She was just finishing a discussion with the court Priestess who turns to depart as Celina steps aside bowing her head a little deeper than toward the maids. The Priestess responds with a slight curtsy bow before leaving the room entirely allowing the knight commander to approach and bow to a knee in front of the Princess.

“I have come as you requested, your majesty.” Her words, or perhaps the manner of tone are enough to make Alicia giggle into her hand.

“Yes, of course, brave knight commander Celina. I have summoned...thee to the throne of your majesty to have a...serious discussion.” She responds attempting to be formal until Celina brings up her head.

Seeing Alicia gesture her up, Celina stands and the two embrace with a hug followed by a quick kiss. As their lips remain close, Celina can't help but smile under a certain prospect.

“Are you certain it's wise for the Princess to be so open toward her lover in public?”

“If there is a problem then the knight commander would have to arrest me.” Alicia replies with another giggle finally pulling away but keeps hold of her lovers hand.

“So just why was I summoned so hastily? Or was her majesty in such a need for my lips once more?”

“Well, a little of that,” Alicia admits as the two walk out toward the balcony overlooking the northern side of the kingdom. “But also for a serious matter. A report has come in of a demon attempting to use the mines as a nesting ground.”

“They're getting closer to the capital.” Celina responds looking out at the mines off in the distance. “Don't you think it's about time we responded to these threats?”

“If only I could.” Alicia replies troubled. “But my best scouts cannot seem to find any centralized force of where these demons are coming from. They only appear as though through their own volition. Even Contessa has trouble and major sized force.”

Celina nods her head still looking out at the mine.

“What am I in for?”

Alicia waits before responding more troubled by this now, it seems, until Celina turns her way.

“...tentacle monster.”

“You're kidding.” Celina replies dryly as Alicia shakes her head.

“Ordinarily I would send a small detachment to deal with such a creature, but you've proven yourself more than capable against them.”

“Only because I've held onto my purity for you.” Celina replies as Alicia gently smiles then recalls something that brings yet another troubled look to her elven features.

“One of the mine guards was caught by it during the escape. It...”

“Did what such creatures do.” Celina finishes as Alicia nods.

“The Priestess will deal with the seed within the guard, but Celina...this monster is determined to breed.”

“Then I'll be extra careful to stop it.” Celina replies with a smile giving Alicia a small kiss before turning to leave.

“I never granted your leave.” Alicia calls out in a somewhat formal tone.

“”I'll be back again anyway.” Celina calls back before leaving the Princess red in the face.

Outside the throne room, Celina notices Contessa, the elven rogue, tightening up her bowstring.

“Tessa. How's it going?” Celina inquires approaching the elf who lets out a disgruntled sigh.

“CONtessa.” She corrects.

“Right, right. So heading out, Cuntessa?” Celina asks with a smile as Contessa just looks at her through the corner of her eye.

“Yes.” She answers, giving up on the name business. “Her majesty wishes to go out once more in search of any centralized force.”

“Do you believe there to be any?”

“No.” Contessa replies testing the tautness of her bowstring. “These attacks are far too random. Farmland, mines, curious beasts who come too close to our doorstep...there's probably just some hole opened up that they all happen to be crawling out from.”

“Makes sense.” Celina agrees as Contessa situates her bow in behind her.

“I take it you'll be heading out as well?” She asks turning toward the knight commander who nods.

“The mines. One of these random beasts is setting up a nesting ground there. It's already attempted to breed with one of the guards.”

Contessa's face turns a bright pink when she hears that but quickly turns bringing a hand up over her mouth clearing out her throat.

“Well...something like that cannot be allowed to pass.” Contessa, back to her usual stoic self, looks back at Celina. “So do be speedy in your vanquishing of this creature.”

“I will. Did you...want me to bring you back anything?” Celina asks with a knowing smirk as Contessa straightens up and shakes her head.

“N-no. I'll be fine. Th...thank you for the offer.” She says then speeds away as Celina just smiles.

“I'll get her something nice.”

The mine was definitely deserted, not recently of course as mining equipment such as hammers and pickaxes were still laid about. There wasn't any sign either of the beast that had been responsible for the sudden departure so Celina traverses carefully, lancet out and shield up. After a half hour of searching, she finally comes across the plant like beast resting in an alcove. Smiling some, Celina lets out a whistle startling the beast enough for it to shoot out its dark green tendrils toward the knight commander who uses her shield to bash them away.

“This is what I don't like about you beasts, while you know what you want...you never bother trying to romance the girl first.” It attempts a second time to grab at Celina's wrists but she dodges back out of the way. “You never even ask for her name first.”

The beast seems to reserve itself a moment trembling before shooting out seemingly everything it has. Celina knocks back what she can but it becomes too much and soon she's held in the air by her wrists and at the creatures mercy. It even tightens its hold causing her to cry out before dropping both the shield and lancet to the ground. Seeing them land, Celina sighs and focuses back on the pulsating beast.

“Dear, oh dear, my weapons. My defenses.” She says sarcastically as the beast slowly sends out a few of its recovered appendages. “Whatever will I do now?”

Clink.

The beast erupts a low growl when as it pushes against Celina's metal crotch plate trying to get through.

“Aw, what'sa matter? Don't like my chastity belt? Gonna try the backdoor maybe instead?”

It indeed does but gets nowhere as well. Therefore, it starts to slide its tentacles up along Celina's chest and goes to wrap around her breasts of her breastplate. She just smirks as the beast lets out a shrill shriek pulling its appendages back.

“Yeah, I kinda sharpened up those edges. Might take some getting used to, but I'm sure you'll like—MMPH!”

Having had enough, the beast goes oral sending a tentacle straight down into Celina's mouth tilting her head back in the process. It soon begins pumping as the knight commander lets out a few muffled squeaks before chomping down hard. The beast once more pulls back dropping Celina to the ground in the process as she reaches into her mouth and pulls out the foot long bit of tentacle tossing it to the side.

“Were you trying to skewer me with that?” She proclaims grabbing up her lancet and shield. “You know, I never really enjoy doing this because you're just acting by your nature...but this is definitely going to bring a smile on my face.”

She says as she stabs the lancet forward straight into the beast, which again shrieks out in pain as Celina pulls her weapon and swings it around cutting it across the beasts side.

“But just so you know, you never stood a chance with getting inside me because that area's reserved. For a woman who knows me!” She cuts as the beast looks to try and retreat but can find no means of getting away inside the tiny alcove. All the while Celina keeps stabbing at it. “Knows my personality! My likes! My turn ons! And above all...my name!”

She steps back and uses that to build momentum as she thrusts the lancet forward stabbing the beast as it lets out a final shriek and drops dead to the ground. Celina lets out a few heavy breaths before pulling the weapon out and looks back at the piece of tentacle giggling.

“Tess's gift!”

Giving it a brief looking over, she places it down in her satchel then eyes the beast once more.

“Hm...you weren't too eager to leave. Normally a beast of your type and as horny as you were...you'd at least be by the entrance.” She cocks up a brow. “Is there someone you're hiding around here? Maybe a worker? Another guard perhaps?”

She begins to look around grabbing one of the torches hanging off the wall laughing a little as she calls out to the killed monster.

“Maybe you've found an orc trailing around, huh?” She smiles and turns stopping abruptly when she notices an unconscious black haired female wearing an outfit that certainly wasn't of this world. A white top, black skirt, and matching black stockings. “You've been around. Haven't you, beastie?”
