The Goddess of Death and Her Empress

Lyari and Alyn watched from the lounger as Sol brought Nadya and Nuri into the grove. Alyn saw how they looked, and rolled her eyes.

"Still no confidence?" Alyn asked from the lounger. Sol shook her head.

"They flinched away from the Empress when they returned after they were sent out." Sol snorted. "She put three to four rewards onto their bodies, mental whips to lightly strike their flesh so they would feel pleasure. She wanted to let them know she thought about them constantly. This is the result."

"Nuri looks fatter, and timid. Nadya looks shorter." Alyn shook her head. "The Empress herself, our goddess's choice to share her power with, took a special interest in them. She hooked their hearts so they couldn't be away from her. When she woke, she didn't want to torture them, and made it so they always knew she thought about them." Alyn stood up, and waved to her sister to stay where she was. She walked over to Nuri and looked her in the eyes. She turned to Nadya and saw the same thing, a flinch.

"They can wander around the grove if they wish. We will not hunt such ones." Alyn walked back to the chair.

"What?" Nuri asked, while Sol was also surprised.

"You won't?" Sol asked. "But your duty to the goddess?"

"Our duty is to those who want to release their lusts, and have a fun time. These two do not see the hunt as fun. They are afraid." Alyn said firmly. "Chosen by the goddess to care for the personal needs of the Empress." She snorted. "Do you know how many of our sisters would give half their lives to be one of you?" Lyari sighed from the lounger.

"Nadya looks shorter because she feels shorter. The Empress sent her with you to see the Asmarians, and their lust for life. Nuri looks fatter because she feels inferior, but the Empress wanted to devour her first." she shivered. "I have been hunting my sisters for the last two to three weeks because they want to be devoured by the Empress!" She stood up.

"Sol, stay and hunt me down! I so need to be eaten!" Lyari said through grit teeth. Sol pondered for a few seconds, but Nuri let a few tears roll onto her cheeks.

Her thoughts kept on their path, and made her feel worse. Nadya and Nuri soon felt an ache within their chests.

"Calm. Calm." Kyrie said as Lena began to growl.

"They won't obey. They won't stop fearing me. They won't listen. Why won't they submit?" She growled.

"I keep repeating myself, and wonder if it is true. They had a horrible time." Kyrie said.

"Each cut is pleasure and pain!" She growled. "Each time they take a bite is the same! They choose!" Lena's eyes glowed bright red. "Since they choose to feel like this, then they might as well be obedient!" Kyrie smirked as she saw her little hedgehog reach out, slide her will right into Haven, and hook those two who should have been out of her reach.

"Disobedient pillows! Get back here! Now!" Lena was angry, while Kyrie grinned and shivered.

'Get those two back here, Sol. I believe the Empress has laid her hooks in again.' Her Empress was so impressive, and beautiful when she was angry.

"You still flinch away, but you can not die unless Kyrie or myself kills you." Lena said firmly. "Take her to the altar." She said to Sol. "Kyrie and I will deal with Nadya later. Valyria, Valina. Stay with her. Valcynie, Valthyria, take Nuri to the altar." Two shadows appeared and grabbed Nuri by the arms. They pulled her from the room.

Nadya looked sad, but Lena walked up to her and inhaled her scent. She reached out and grabbed her hair.

"Naughty woman. Trying to disappear on me. My pillow needs to remember how attractive she is to me." Lena lightly traced her cheek with a finger. "Why do you fear me?" She said softly.

"I...I don't know." Nadya said miserably. "We were treated..."

"ENOUGH!" Lena yelled in her face. "Enough with the self pity! You chose not to fight. You chose to stay. Everyone in Haven is aware that the goddess will respond as soon as you call out! Why do you lie to yourself?" Nadya sniffed and lifted her eyes, a bit defiant.

"Because they ate us! Constantly! They called us pigs and cows! Good enough only to be food!" She said angrily.

"And I killed them for it!" Lena said, just as angrily. "For you. For Nadya! I killed them for you!" Lena grabbed both sides of her head, and pulled her close. Her voice was small, and soft now. "I chose you to keep me warm. Not because you are only a pig, or a cow. Because you are soft and warm, and gentle. Now that I see you, and can see your eyes and body, I will devour you. Right down to your core. Your lovely body. I will suck those beautiful eyes right out of your head. I will suck on your tongue, and eat it like candy." Nadya blushed brightly. These words made her feel warm. The savage hunger of her sisters was what filled them with desire. To be treated like food was not erotic. To be kissed, to have the Empress use her lips and teeth, that was truly intimate.

"My poor Nadya. Do not shrink anymore. You were a strong and powerful woman. Do not hide yourself from me. I will need you by my side, in all your glory." She groaned softly. "Fuck, I'm so hungry! Girls, stay with her! Don't let her leave! Eat her breasts, one delicious bite at a time, but do not let her leave!"

"When I come back, Kyrie and I will devour her together."

"So foolish." Valcynie said angrily. "Do you know how much I desire what you are throwing away?" She growled. Nuri looked at her as she was pulled into the altar room, and pushed to sit on the place she last existed as a human.

"I can't understand your fear, Nuri." Valthyria said and sighed. "It was one of the most erotic things I have ever experienced. Her teeth were so sharp, and she was so aroused by it. It was intimate, and so personal for her. It was the same way for me."

"But I'm fat and ugly." Nuri said sadly.

"Foolish child." Valcynie said. "This is not your true appearance." Nuri lifted her head. "When you first laid beside her, you were more slender. Nadya was taller, and more robust. She wants to disappear, and you see yourself as worse than you were while a human." Valthyria nodded.

"I remember when she came to Haven. There were many so excited to see her again, but she agreed to go to the bar." Valthyria sighed a bit. "Some of your sisters came to Haven before you, and waited patiently for you to arrive. Nikki was sent to Haven by your lips and teeth. She was quite upset that you didn't visit her."

"That's not true! I was told she didn't want to see me!" Nuri exclaimed.

"After she gave you her jellies, and only you, the fact that you actually believed it must have disappointed her." Valcynie said and shook her head in disgust.

"It did hurt my little Nikki." Nuri turned to the door. The goddess held Lena's hand as she guided her into the room. "She was quite happy to learn you were removed from the bar, but she was quite upset that you believed them over her." Nuri looked horrified, and now realized that she had been lied to for so long, and she believed them over someone she adored.

"Nikki." Lena called out in a soft voice. She appeared from the mist.

"Empress." She bowed, but looked a little stiff.

"Your old friend is here. She ate your jellies when you were Offered. It's time to soothe her core, and give her a proper reminder of your affection." Lena said softly. She turned and took Nikki's hand. "Do what your heart longs to, Nikki." Nikki sniffed a little.

"Shadows. Obey Nikki's voice. If she needs your assistance, do as she says." Lena looked at Valcynie. "When you have assisted Nikki to her satisfaction, come see me, Valcynie. Among my beloved Shadows, you are next." The Shadow blushed.

"Thank you, Empress."
