Dark eyes opened, a soft smile given, worlds away the being known as Ilixia had finished her work, had finished restoring her power, and now, now, she would return to that which she was beginning to think of as a second home... Dark eyes closed...

Emerald eyes snapped open in sudden pain, as the girl felt the power flood into her again, deep beneath the earth in some old forgotten hide away, that had entombed her upon Ilixia's request when she had left so long ago... but now, she knew, the devourer was back, sliding into her mind as if it were a well worn glove... Terrany knew nothing more about Ilixia, the entity erasing the knowledge from her mind, and then slipping from it, retaking her non corporeal body, and dissipating...

Terrany was dragged through the earth, naked, shivering, and covered in... slime... dropped to the ground above Ilixia's new caverns, her brilliant emerald eyes were closed, it was... as if she awaited a saviour, she could not awake... not fully, once more she felt weak, drained, Ilixia drawing from her favorite host for power...

Terrany shivered again in the bitter cold of the night that surrounded her, she shivered again and stilled... her breath, her heart rate slowing... her pale skin gleaming in the moonlight as her own dark hair caressed her head, she too was back...

Anger burned in his chest.His vision was blurred with the fury that rose like a succession of dread waves within him.He had been defeated.Forced to submit to the will of an entity far younger.Her temerity had to be answered.
Consensus among the hidden denizens of the island had confirmed that these were indeed the haunting grounds of Ilixia.But he had no answers for what to do.No direction and no plan.
Fighting back the fear he felt within him for the first time in countless thousands of years,Ethrach scanned his surroundings for an answer.Any answer.
His eyes narrowed on something in the distance.The girl was motionless,barely breathing and even then,Ethrach could feel her life force slowly ebbing away.

Hardly worth my time he thought contemptuously and made to turn away.

A scent from the girl brought him sharply around.Around her still lingered an emanation,the faintest trace,of his now hated enemy.

This one belongs to Ilixia

Taking no time to think about his actions,he scooped the girl up into his armored arms and made off for the deeper darkness in the distance.

Perhaps within my lair I can revive her...Then,perhaps,she can be made to be of use to me...this slave of the damned Exile Ilixia...

Unfurling his wings and blazing off into the night sky,Ethrach felt finally that he had come a step closer.

To revenge.

The girl began to come round, the arms about her body, the sensation of cool air hitting her naked flesh, bringing her to a drowsy half waking, emerald eyes looked down, and then widened in fear! shining brightly as she saw the earth far below, rushing beneath her, and she looked up once more, trying to recoil within those draconic arms, but not going very far...

She writhed in his grip, mumbling, still slightly dozy, "let me go!,put me down, gently, put... put me down" she could do no more, vulnerable to the beast that had her in its arms, she was... afraid, so much of her memory was missing, what had she been doing for the last... however long it had been... She just... did not know...

The girl was stirring awake within his arms.Surprised at her resilience,he slowed down in mid air.She was struggling slightly and mumbling faint please for release.
He held her up by her ankle,letting her hang upside down as they drifted through the sparse cloud cover.Ethrach had known violent resistance,had always relished in the pleasure of breaking down the spirit of those that resisted him.This,however,was a new kind of thrill.
She was weak,terrified and lost.Her helplessness stirred the bestial and craven lust in his veins.
Letting his tongue loll out from behind its bars of fangs he ran it along the length of her body starting around her neck,lingering for a moment around her pelvis before returning again to his maw.
His face twisted in disgust.

"Phaw!" he spat.
"Her scent lingers still!"

His disgust deepened as he envisioned his defeat again.Anger rose within him to join the stirring lust.He allowed his penis to grow from its sheath,as long as an adult human's arm and equally as thick.
Resting its tip for the briefest of moments against those sweet lips Ethrach spared but a moment's comment.

"I shall allow you my gift this once.But I can assure you,upon our return to my lair,no such honor will be accorded to you."

With that,he rammed the length of his penis forcefully into her and at that moment,she screamed to full wakefullness.

Another shocked scream as she found herself dangling by a foot above the clouds, through them, her eyes wide with the fright of the experience, the chill that felt like it passed through flesh chilling bone, bright lights dancing in her vision, the lights of his lust, mingling with the lights of his anger, she was... afraid, beyond the feelings she had experienced before, going while awake to the tortures of a fallen hero before had been terrifying enough, but this, waking up to... this... was just too much...

She shivered again in fear as she saw the tongue flicking out from those terrible teeth, fearing for the first time for her life, so far she had suffered torture, rape, and humiliation, but such a large thing, such a hungry one? Then it licked her, and she trembled again, but it didn't seem about to eat her, merely... lick her. The tongue at her pelvis causing her to shiver again as he licked her, tasting her, emerald eyes sparkling in terror, and then, she saw it... After hearing his words, and about to question him, she saw it...

A scream pierced the world as she felt the large... thing jam straight into her dry body, feeling as if she had been ripped apart in mid air, screaming, until she could scream no more, feeling him so deeply inside her, voicless now, she could but mouth one word, over and over as she tried to resist the screaming pain, tried, and failed... -Why-

She whimpered the question and though he was focused on the brutal pleasure he was taking on her body,a part of his mind had to ask,

She remembers nothing?

He thrust himself harder into her delicate flesh,exalting in her pitiful whimpers and moans.But it was not enough.

For Ilixia's scent to have lingered,a connection had to have been made.
He allowed two of his tentacles to grow from their pouches,moving one to hover just in front her mouth and the other to rub against her anus.

This one had meant something to the Exile,I'm sure of it now, he thought furiously,pressing the tentacle rubbing against her anus harder against the puckered hole.The other tentacle he rubbed against her squirming lips allowing small amounts of lubricating joices to dribble down her chin.
Clarity dawned on him in a flash of vengeful glee.

Strike at the pet to reach the mistress!

With that final thought carrying him into full,bestial,mindless ecstacy,he plunged the tentacles home.

Her own mind wept, on her returning day, again, after so long seemingly insensible, weeping freely as she felt... Oh gods... she felt him driving inside her, taking her, once more, her body at the mercy of another... no more.

NO MORE!

She bit, she kicked, she squirmed in his grip as her emerald eyes flashed with Anger, that was ENOUGH, enough pain, enough humiliation and torture, she had HAD IT.

Lashing out with vicious intent, despite the height ablove the earth, if he dropped her, so be it, it would be over, if she won, however unlikely, it would still be over, but if she lost... at least she would know she had done her best...

Teeth closed, around the tentacle in her mouth, biting savagely, biting savagely, she was not defeated, she was not just... some toy for the monsters...

Had she known his thoughts... it is likely she would have even offered to help him... no wonder she was so incensed, and... it would answer so many questions, her missing memories, her missing life...

Pain lanced into Ethrach as he felt teeth close around his sensitive and exposed tentacle.He roared and pulled out of her bleeding and torn cavity.Seizing her by an ankle,he held her upside down for the briefest moment to look into her eyes.
Such fury shone from her gaze that it swallowed the fear,the sadness and confusion that showed there.Had he been any less enraged by her wounding of him,he would probably have admired the transformation.Instead,he took her to a higher altitude and from that dizzy height...he let her fall.
As she spun through the air,he let her fall just long enough to believe that he would not catch her,that there was no hope.He dove after her in pursuit decreasing in speed to fall alongside her.

"I should let you splatter against the earth,human," he said loudly through the rushing wind that howled around them,putting as much disdain in his tone as he could muster.
"But I find myself admiring your resilience,your potential for rage.What if I told you of your lost memories?Would you submit?What would you do for the chance to strike a blow against the one who robbed you of them?"
