Tame stepped away from the suit of armor, watching as it struggled against the webbing. As annoying as he found animated objects like this, he had no reason to rid the castle of its defenses. He grabbed ahold of the doorknob and breathed a sigh of relief as it turned.

The room was almost bare. It had one bed, a bedside table, and a small dresser in the corner. All of it was bare, except the bed that had the head of a gray mare with a purple mane. He almost threw up at the sight of it and for a moment considered going back and making the armor pay. Unless of course… there is a reason there is no blood on it.

He slowly stepped over and ran his hand through her coarse mane. A slight smirk crossed his face as he noted the warmth that came from it, despite the head’s lack of movement. “Well, I haven’t met one, so finally getting to see a Dullahan in real life is something special for me.”

He waited for some sort of response, but none came. Tame’s smile quickly became a scowl as he yanked the head into the air. The mare’s eyebrows furrowed in pain for a brief second, but then settled back, despite being suspended in the air now. A bit more shaking though, and she finally opened her eyes. “Yes?”

He looked into the shockingly beautiful turquoise eyes. “Well, I’ve never met a dullahan before.”

“You should not have met me.”

Tame barely saw the glance down and he frowned. “Oh, yeah, you probably don’t like your body tangled up like that, do you?”

She stayed silent for a moment. “No, I don’t. If you return my head to my body though, then I can get myself out while you flee.”

He bit into his cheek. “I’m sorry.”

Maud continued to simply stare while small wisps of energy escaped her eyes. He tried to ignore them and stepped out of the room. Almost immediately, he drops Maud. Looking down, he spots a metal hand in his chest. Looking up showed the sword, still covered in webs, raised above its head. He tried to get out, but he can’t move and only hears, “I’m sorry,” as the blade meets his neck.

Tame woke up, wondering how in the world he wasn’t dead. He opened his eyes and saw swirling blues and purples as far as he could possibly see. “What in Tarturus is–” He stopped as he saw his arm, or, what he hoped was his arm as it looked like it was made out of purely brown energy.

A gray sprite appeared on the horizon. He stiffened as it rapidly approached him. He tried standing but found it almost impossible, and the other presence almost seemed to appear over him. The same voice as from the head came out of it as it spoke. “Hello.”

“Yo-you killed me.”

The glowing head turned away. “Yes… I did. But now you are immortal.”

He managed to get one hand on something like the ground and started to lift himself up. “That makes no sense!”

He suddenly found his head in between her hands and felt a calming essence flow through his own. Tame almost swore he heard her purr for a moment before his vision changed to being in the hallway. Is this me?

No. It is me, or at least, where my head should be. The vision swiveled and showed the axe wielding suit of armor. A feeling of pride and strength coursed through Tame’s essence at the sight of it.

That is me. For a brief moment he was in that suit’s vision, looking back at the other armor. So, now I’m a dullahan, and all because of you!

The gray essence backed away for a moment, allowing him to finally notice that it had what appeared to be a modest chest. The other presence came back in an instant and the calm within him came back with it, despite him swearing she had just plunged her hands into his eyes. A vision of a royal guardswoman, bowing before a bubbly princess came into his version.

“Maud, from this day you are my champion. You will protect me, play with me, and be my best friend. Do you understand?”

“I will do all I can, Princess Belle.”

I couldn’t though.

A sadness filled Tame as months passed and with each day, Maud’s mortal coil became weaker and weaker, until her spirit brought her to a guillotine. He could feel the confusion in her as she put her head into the block, uncertain as to why she even was doing this. He then saw one tear fall from her, just as the blade fell. The presence removed itself from him, and he could see a blue streak over her face. “This is the only way I can protect her now, but you proved to me today that I needed help. Please… don’t hate me for this.”

Tame stared at her for a few moments before weakly climbing over to her and wrapping his arms awkwardly around her. She looked down at him and he tried his best to smile. “The damage is done, so I guess guess I should just accept the pretty…”

“Soul.”

“I am with.” He smiled at her and she smiled back. In another instant though, he found her tongue coiling around his, her essence’s bare body pressed against his. He blinked a few times before clumsily kissing back.

Maud pulled away and smiled slightly. “I… I’ve been lonely for too long.”

He smirked. “Well, I’m not about to say no now.”

A slight red tinge appeared on her chest and she nodded. “If you want to move, think about watching yourself do it. It… it will be weird, but it works.”

Tame swallowed hard, but he found his hand gripping her light bosom almost instantaneously. They were soft and filled his hands with a red glow. Maud let out a soft coo and he felt her hips grind against his crotch, a splash of red appearing there too. Pleasure coursed through him from both places just as a second, smaller wave stoked it higher. “This… this is… odd.”

Her face became slightly redder and she nodded. “But a nice odd.”

He nodded in response and tried his best to thrust within her. Instead, he knew this was different as his cock thrust into her essence and became one with her. It felt like the tightest, and yet gentlest pussy he could have ever found, and Maud gasped at the feeling too. Tame gripped her breasts harder, and found the tender feel of them only grew with each moment.

Maud leaned down and kissed him. This time, as their mouths became connected, there were no gaps, and another, much larger, wave of pleasure rippled through him as they became further connected. He imagined thrusting deeper into her, becoming one with her and saw a gray stripe run down his chest.

With each passing moment, the fire in him grew, just as the melding of their two bodies became closer to complete. Tame found himself entirely enveloped by Maud, feeling her own ecstasy beat down on him. It was as if he were in a large, tight blanket, and the warmth simply invited him in further. The further he went though, the more exciting it became and the more he wanted her.

Tame started to notice Maud’s own heated pants and moans, only now realizing he had been doing just the same. He focused, trying to form himself just enough to do as he wanted. He gripped the blanketing soul around him and pulled the core in just as his pleasure became too much.

For one moment, everything was still. He was kissing Maud deeply just as he thrust one more time within her. Her eyes rolled back just as a stream of brown ran along her body. Then, the climax really happened as the two truly became one for a moment. There was no difference, and it felt amazing to him.

The two stepped away from each other and Maud shut his eyes. The view of the hallway came back, but so did a sense of joy within him. A joy, he knew he got from his partner.
