Reincarnated as a displaced monster

Three days went by before Cyrine let out a groan in her recovery bed. Her eyes blinked open for only a few seconds before she closed them tightly and let out another groan.

“Cyrine!” Lilith cried when she heard the groan that indicated her lover coming out of her comatose state before tackling the hobgoblin like a giant dog pouncing on a child. “You awake! I’m so glad! I almost started to think you would never wake up!” She cried as she snuggled her lover like a plushie.

Cyrine winced a bit. “E-easy Lilith… my everything still hurts a bit…” She groaned as she halfheartedly tried to hug her back.

“S-sory… I-I Just… I thought I was going to lose you...” Lilith blubbered as she eased up on her hug.

“I… I can certainly see why you’d think that.” Cyrine replied as she brought a hand to her head. “Ooh… I feel like I have a hangover…”

Lilith continued to hug Cyrine, she was so glad that she was finally awake that she forgot that she was currently naked and pressing her breasts into her lovers face. “I’m so glad you're awake…” She muttered to herself, as she somehow got hiccups.

“Lilith, calm down… the fact that I’m not dead right now means it’s going to be a lot harder to kill me.” Cyrine replied with a chuckle as she pushed her lover’s breasts away.

“B-but If it weren't for Twilight you would have!” Lilith cried as she clung to Cyrine as if her life depended on it.

“I… you know what Lilith… I could really use a calm night… just one where we get to do what we want without risking one of us dying…”

“But we’re monsters now… how are we supposed to do that?” Lilith asked, her ‘hair’ somehow looking disheveled and her eyes slightly puffy with streams of tears running down her cheeks.

“Simple… we don’t act like monsters, we act like we’re civilized.” Cyrine replied with a smile as her right hand began to smooth Lilith’s head over. “First thing’s first… we need jobs…” she sighed.

“I may have started on getting a job while you were asleep…” Lilith said with a slight blush.

“What job?” Cyrine asked.

“I may have mentioned to Twilight how I used to do blacksmithing as a hobby…” Lilith chuckled.

Cyrine seemed a little hesitant. “...are you sure you’re not going to evaporate?”

“I… Have no clue…” Lilith admitted with a sheepish grin.

Cyrine let out a small sigh. “Well… we’re going to need to make sure you won’t die if you take that job.”

“And find a way to get her to leave your side for five minutes…” Twilight said as she walked into the room after hearing the commotion.

“There’s always a way… but… right now I’d just like to rest… that near-death took a lot of energy out of me if you know what I mean.” Cyrine replied.

“Snuggle~” Lilith cooed as she snuck under the covers next to Cyrine.

The hobgoblin nodded as she let her hand pet the slime. “I’m always happy to snuggle…”

Lilith purred in response as she held Cyrine like a body pillow.

“W-well… I will just be… down the hall!” Twilight said before dashing off with a mad blush across her face.

“What’s her problem?” Cyrine asked. “You’re just hugging me…”

“I have no clue...” Lilith said as her breasts wrapped around Cyrine’s shoulder.

Cyrine gave her a look. “Using your breasts as tentacles now?”

“Huh?” Lilith said before looking down and blushing furiously. “Sory!” She squeaked before shifting so that her breasts weren't pressing against Cyrine.

Cyrine simply chuckled a little. “I’m just happy to be back in the waking world… I could really use a pistol though…” She sighed before she laid back on the bed.

As Cyrine laid down Lilith nuzzled in before the two of them fell happily asleep in one another's embrace.

~The next morning~

Cyrine yawned a bit as she sat up and began to stretch. “Good morning~” Lilith purred as she snuggled Cyrine from behind.

“Good morning to you as well Lilith.” Cyrine replied as she leaned into the hug. “I actually think I’m good to get up…”

“Ok, let me help you…” Lilith said before stepping off the bed and helping Cyrine stand.

It didn’t take too much effort for her to finally stand up, “Oh… much better, I hate being in hospitals.” Cyrine said with a smile as she began to walk around the room.

“Why don't we see if Rarity has any cloths for us?” Lilith chuckled nervously.

The door opened to reveal a white unicorn mare. “Hello gi- oh! Cyrine, you’re up already?” Rarity asked.

“Yeah, Lilith was giving me a helping hand, what’s with the bags?”

“They’re your new outfits.” Rarity said with a smile. “I was hoping to have you try them at my store, though seeing as you’ve been staying here the past several days I didn’t have much choice.”

“Heh, that's ironic because I was just talking about us coming to pick up some clothes.” Lilith chuckled.

Rarity smiled. “That’s good dears. Let’s get you changed then and see if you like the new outfits.” She beamed as she placed the bags on a nearby bed.

“Yeah… Going out in public naked would be too embarrassing to bear…” Lilith said with a slight blush.

“It’s not that bad.” Cyrine chuckled. “But it would be nice to get a new set of clothes on.”

“I vote that Cyrine goes first!” Lilith said with a mischievous grin. The hobgoblin simply shrugged and walked over to Rarity so that they could begin trying on the new outfits.

“The first thing obviously is the undergarments.” Rarity began as she pulled a couple bags off to the side. “Feel free to pick any that you like.”

Lilith and Cyrine look though the bag of undergarments for a bit until they decide on a few sets that are comfortable to the hobgoblin before she puts one of the sets on.

“Ok, now that we have handled Cyrenes need for undergarments let's see what else we have here…” Lilith said before opening the bag with the dresses in it.

Cyrine slipped on a pair of light-blue panties and a matching bra. “I think I like this set… what do you think Lilith?”

“I see you're going with the ones that match my color. And it looks cute on you~” Lilith purred. “And for that I might not try every single dress in this bag on you~” she then pulled out a frilly maid dress and began to slowly approach Cyrine.

“You say that like having me check that everything fits me is a bad thing.” Cyrine chuckled before she noticed the dress and frowned. “I know that’s not one of the ones that she should have made, you know how stupid I think those dresses are.”

Lilith’s grin grew until it looked like she was imitating the grinch as she got closer and closer to Cyrine. “I know. But I requested it for you anyway~” She purred as she crouched a bit.

“I’m not putting it on.” Cyrine said adamantly before she sat on one of the nearby waiting chairs. “It would get ruined before its first use.”

“Oh? Well I think…” Lilith said before pouncing on Cyrine. “That it makes you look cute~” She said as she got the maid outfit onto the hobgoblin.

“I mean it Lilith!” Cyrine yelped. “I will shred it myself if I have to!”

“I don’t think so~” Lilith purred as she reached under the dress and pinched Cyrine. Cyrine began pulling at the dress, off to the side Rarity began to look on nervously.

“Fine I’ll let you take it off… But you are wearing it next time you want me to get you off~” Lilith teased as she nipped Cyrine’s ear before taking the maid outfit off of the hobgoblin.

“We’ll see…” Cyrine replied with slight irritation about the dress.

Lilith chuckled before walking back over to the bag and putting the maid outfit away. “So which ones are the waterproof ones?” She then asked.

Rarity let out a silent sigh of relief. “Sadly the waterproof material only comes in black… so if it’s stretchy and black it’s an outfit for you.”

“Oh?” Lilith said before pulling out a long black dress that looked like a ball gown and would hug her curves. she quickly slipped the dress on before turning to Cyrine. “What do you think?” she asked as she put a hand on her hip and struck a pose.

Cyrine smiled a bit. “I like it, but… it’s definitely a more formal-wear type of outfit.”

“I'll be sure to save it for if we ever go to any parties.” Lilith said before putting the dress away and pulling out a tanktop and shorts and slipping them on. “These are nice, I may use these as my work cloths.” She said as she looked at herself wearing the new clothes in a mirror.

“The tanktop and shorts definitely look a lot better.” Cyrine said as she looked through the bags.

“What are you going to try on first?” Lilith asked.

“Hmm… not really seeing anything that catches my interest…” Cyrine mumbled. “Although the Aquila sigils look really nice…” She pulled out a green long-sleeved shirt that had an aquila emblazoned on its chest. “I like this one though.”

“So, the final question is, pants or skirt?” Lilith said as she moved around to get used to the feel of the material of her cloths on her new body.

“Pants, definitely.” Cyrine replied.

“And now that we have cloths, why don't we go out and explore the town?” Lilith asked.

Cyrine nodded. “Sounds good, I’d like to see where we’re going to be living for the foreseeable future.”

“Oh? looking for us a house already?” Lilith asked with a cheeky grin while wiggling her eyebrows.

“We don’t have to have a house to live here… I’m sure there’s a nice bridge we could live under.” Cyrine replied sarcastically.

“What are you, a troll?” Lilith laughed.

“Uh… What is this about trolls and bridges?” Rainbow asked as she walked into the room.

“Nothing, Lilith just wants to see if you’re up for a threesome later.” Cyrine replied as she slipped on a pair of dark blue pants.

“No! That is not true!” Lilith said as her face turned pink with embarrassment.

“See! You can tell by the blush.” Cyrine continued as she perused the bag for a pair of socks.

Lilith then decided to hide under the bed in hopes that Cyrine would stop teasing her.

“Um… Should I come back later?” Rainbow asked.

Cyrine began to chuckle. “Nope… how’s the search for openings?” She asked. “Any jobs around town that might take someone like either of us?”

“Well, I found that the local blacksmith is looking for an apprentice due to Twilight telling me to go ask. Then there's the town guard, adventurers guild, AJ’s farm, and a few other jobs open.” Rainbow said.

“This place really has an adventurer’s guild?” Cyrine asked in confusion. “...how well does it pay?”

“I don’t know, I didn't think to ask… well I have to get back to wether duty! Later!” Rainbow said before jumping out the window and flying off.

Cyrine let out a sigh. “Yeah… thanks for telling me where I could go to find those jobs in a town that I’ve never been in before…” She grumbled as the pegasus took off.

When Cyrine looked over to Rarity the white unicorn gave a small shrug. “I’m sorry dear… despite living here for most of my life there are still places here that I haven’t seen before. I’d be able to give you directions to Applejack’s farm… but that’s about it.”

“Can't we just ask for a map?” Lilith asked.

Rarity nodded. “If you head to Town Hall I’m fairly certain they have maps there.”

“To town hall then!” Lilith said before grabbing Cyrine by the hand and beginning to walk down the hall. She then paused before running back and grabbing the rest of their new cloths and thanking Rarity before sprinting back down the hall to where she left Cyrine.

As soon as they left the hospital they walked around town for a bit. The first thing they encountered was a neon pink mare who gasped upon seeing them before zipping away like a cartoon character. Shortly after that they ended up asking for directions from a yellow pegasus mare with a pink mane and eventually figured out where the town hall was before making their way over to it.

The town marketplace was actually fairly warm today as the pair of lovers made their way to the large building that rose over every other building in town. “...So you’re sure about the blacksmithing thing?” Cyrine asked.

“Well, I’m pretty good at it and I can't think of much else I can do in this world with its current technology level.” Lilith admitted.

“And what exactly is their technology level?” Cyrine prompted. “Am I going to be able to get a lasgun?”

“If they don't have one of those things I could probably try to make you one.” Lilith offered.

Cyrine took a small breath. “We’d have to find the Adeptus Mechanicus… tech heresy isn’t something I am eager to commit.”

“I may not know what tech heresy is but I could probably make you some weapons if you wanted eventually.” Lilith said while she stepped around a pony who was standing in line at one of the stalls.

“As long as they’re blessed and approved by a tech priest we’ll be good.”

“Tech what now?” Lilith asked.

“A tech priest, a member of the Adeptus Mechanicus that oversees the efficiency and placation of the machine spirits.” Cyrine explained.

“Sounds interesting… Hey, am I the only one to notice the stares were getting from some of the ponies?” Lilith asked as she noticed some of the ponies were watching them for some reason.

“Yes, yes you are… because they’re not important, and you like to focus on unimportant details.” Cyrine said with a smile as she put a hand on Lilith’s shoulder.

Lilith started to feel real uncomfortable from the stares and proceed to cling to Cyrine while trying to hide behind the hobgoblin unsuccessfully. “How much further to the town hall…” She whimpered.

“It’s the largest building in town, it’s not that hard to miss… we’re a street away.” the hobgoblin replied as she pointed out the building.

“Then let's hurry away from the glares of these ponies!” Lilith said before grabbing Cyrine’s arm and dashing up to the town hall.

“What has you so worried Lilith?” Cyrine yelped as they entered the building. “Seriously?”

“The stares we were getting were the kind I used to get whenever I passed through the night club sector on the way to work back in los angeles… and I think I saw one of them holding a pitchfork for some reason…” Lilith explained as she closed the door.

Cyrine sighed a little. “Lilith… you really need to relax.”

“I’ll relax when ponies stop staring at me like that!” Lilith said. Cyrine simply made her way over to the front desk to speak with the pony behind the desk.

“How may I help you.” The pony said.

“We need a pair of maps for the area, for one of them directions to the adventurer’s guild would be appreciated.” Cyrine replied.

The pony behind the desk looked up from his newspaper to shuffle through a few folders before handing two maps to Cyrine without looking at her before returning to his newspaper. “The locations are labeled on the map, you can find the adventurers guild on your own from there.” The pony said.

Cyrine sighed a little before passing one of the maps to Lilith. “Here you go.”

“Thank you, now where to go first?” Lilith said as she accepted the map from Cyrine.

“Well, I’m heading to the adventurer’s guild… I want to see what that’s all about.” The hobgoblin replied as they leave the town hall.

“Ok, I guess I will see you later then…” Lilith says before she walks off.

~With Cyrine~

Cyrine had her eyes in the map she had been given at the mayor’s office. Despite not being able to see much else she managed to weave through the crowds and around groups of ponies without much difficulty. Although some gave her strange glances and some seemed like they were about to attack her until she reached the adventurers guild. Cyrine spared a glare towards one of the groups before she opened the door to the adventurer’s guild.

Once inside she looked around for someone who looked like they were in charge.

“Hello there little girl, how may I help you?” A minotaur at a clerk desk said to Cyrine.

“Little girl?” Cyrine asked in slight confusion. “I’m here to find out what sorts of jobs are available.”

“Oh? Do you want to become an adventurer?” The minotaur asks.

“Isn’t that the typical reason why someone comes here to find out the jobs available?” Cyrine asked with a laugh.

“Well, we also get people that come to drop off requests and sometimes people wander in here thinking that this is the town guard office.” The minotaur explained.

“Well, either way, I’m here looking to find out how lucrative a job this is.” Cyrine explained.

“Well, It all depends on your rank and the jobs you accept. The different jobs are posted on a wall in the adventurers lounge if you want to see them.” The minotaur said.

“Okay, and say that I’m not officially a member of this guild… how do I get signed up?”

“You just have to ask me to apply for bronze rank and I will ask you for some information to make you your adventurer id and then you're an adventurer. If you have any questions you can talk to the guild master.” The minotaur said as he pulled out a sheet of paper.

Cyrine nodded a little. “Ask away then.”

“Ok. I will need your name, age, species, and class.” The minotaur said.

The hobgoblin nodded. “My name is Cyrine, I’m twenty two… I’m a hobgoblin and a Psyker.” She answered, deciding to use the age she had before coming to Equestria.

“Oh? A hobgoblin? thats a first.” The minotaur chuckled as he filled out the piece of paper. “Please sign at the bottom.” He said passing the piece of paper to Cyrine. She took up a pen and signed her name on the paper. When Cyrine finished the minotaur took up the piece of paper and put it into a drawer under his desk before handing her a card with her information and a necklace with a bronze plate on it.

“That necklace indicates your rank and status as an Adventurer and the card is for identification in case you are stopped by a guard or someone doubts your status as a adventurer.” The minotaur said before motioning for the hobgoblin to go through the door next to his desk that you could hear a lot of commotion going on behind it.

“Makes sense… thanks.” Cyrine replied as she made her way through the door.

As Cyrine went through the door all the adventurers in the room went silent and looked in her direction.

“What?” She asked incredulously. “Just because you haven’t seen a woman this beautiful before doesn’t mean you have to stop your conversations.”

The adventurers burst into laughter at her comment, some yelling “I like this kid!” And other compliments for her spunky attitude. She smirked a bit before making her way over to wherever the jobs were posted, trying to find something that would work for her.

When she found the board she almost fell over backwards at the size of the board and the amount of requests, she kept her calm though as she adopted a bored look while she perused the jobs. One of the jobs that she saw though caught her eye as an easy way to get started, it was a simple request but it paid pretty well. The job offered 1000 bits and all she had to do was help run security for a wedding of all things. With a fluid swipe of her hand she took the ad for the wedding security detail and made her way out front.

~With Lilith~

Lilith read the map and ran to the blacksmith shop while dodging around ponies and stalls until she reached her destination and went inside. “Hello anyone home?” She asked.

“In the back!” Called a gruff male voice.

Lilith hesitated for a moment out of nervousness but eventually made her way to the back of the back of the shop and entered the forge where she found a buff kyrin forging a sword.

“H-hello, My name is Lilith and I came to apply for the apprenticeship that Rainbow asked about?” Lilith said to the kyrin.

“Well hello Lilith, my name is Phestus. Nice to meet you.” The kyrin said turning around to shake Lilith's hand.

Lilith took the kyrins hand and shaked it. “Nice to meet you Phestus. Do you mind the fact that I’m a slime?” She asked nervously.

“No, not really… I have never met a slime before but you're nicer than the ones I hear about roaming the wilds.” Phestus chuckled. “But are you sure you want to take the apprenticeship? What if you evaporate?” He asked.

“You sound like my girlfriend…” Lilith groaned, causing Phestus to stare at her in shock.

“Well, this should be interesting.” Phestus said to himself with a smile. he then began to give Lilith a rundown of the forge and had her sign some papers to officialize her apprenticeship. shortly after he told her that they would begin work tomorrow and to go home for the day so that he could finish up what he was working on before closing for the day.

As Cyrine arrived back at Rarity’s boutique with her ticket for her and a plus one to the wedding Lilith came running over with a grin on her face. Cyrine let out a small chuckle. “What’s got you all smiling like that?”

“I got the Job! and the Blacksmith I’m working for is a kyrin!” Lilith gushed as she glomped Cyrine.

“...A what?” Cyrine asked as she managed to keep standing.

“A half pony half dragon. And he reminds me of you a bit.” Lilith laughed.

“How does a half-dragon remind you of me?” The hobgoblin asked as she opened the door to Rarity’s store.

“The first thing he asked was ‘Are you sure you're not going to evaporate?’ When he saw that I was a slime!” Lilith said before falling on the ground in a fit of laughter inside the boutique.

“You do seem to be made mostly of water, so it’s a pretty valid concern that you’re not just going to turn into a fine mist when you’re near a flame that can reach several thousand degrees.” Cyrine explained as she closed the door. “I don’t want you to just disappear on me because you evaporated.”

“I’m not going to just evaporate.” Lilith said rolling her eyes at Cyrine. “I would start to dehydrate first before that would happen, and I would seek you out from hunger if I dehydrated according to what I know about slimes.” she added as she got up and licked the hobgoblins cheek.

“Why would you seek me out?” Cyrine asked as she took a seat in one of the lounge chairs.

“Because your sweat is tasty~” Lilith purred as she sat down in a chair next to Cyrine before laying down in her lover's lap.

Cyrine raised an eyebrow. “...you developed some strange fetishes when we moved here…” She muttered as she let her fingers poke at her lover’s belly.

“I’m a slime, we eat magic and certain fluids secreted by other species.” Lilith purred as she snuggled into Cyrine’s lap.

“It’s still a bit odd.” Cyrine chuckled before she began to lean back. “I did manage to get signed up for the adventurer’s guild though.” She said with a smile. “I’m going to be working as part of a security team for a wedding.”

“WHAT!? Can I come with?” Lilith said in surprise before giving Cyrine puppy dog eyes.

“The invitation does say I can bring someone with me.” Cyrine replied.

The door to the store opened once more to reveal Rarity in a light-yellow sundress. “Oh… Twilight certainly wasn’t happy about that letter…” She sighed before letting herself collapse onto her personal fainting couch.

“Is something wrong?”Lilith asked Rarity.

“Oh it’s absolutely dreadful!” Rarity sighed dramatically as she eased herself into a more comfortable position. “Twilight received a letter from the princess…!”

“Wait… PRINCESS!?” Lilith practically shouted in surprise. “THERE’S A PRINCESS OF YOUR CUDDLY SPECIES!?”

“Of course darling.” Rarity replied, “That’s not the point though… Twilight received a letter inviting her to a royal wedding.”

Lilith fell out of Cyrine’s lap and face planted on the floor, hard. “TWILIGHT'S GOING TO A ROYAL WEDDING! WHAT IS SHE? A NOBLE!?” She shouted as she peeled herself off of the floor.

“She is from one of the unicorn families of Canterlot… and the wedding is for her brother and a mare with a surprisingly fancy name.” Rarity replied as she propped herself up on one elbow. “Though… she was a bit more miffed that she didn’t receive any notice from her brother beforehand.”

Lilith fell to the floor again before fainting as Cyrine let out a small snore. Rarity let out a small huff as she noticed the hobgoblin’s snore. “At least one of you knows how to react to that kind of news…” She grumbled.

For her part, Cyrine was still having a good, no… decent dream, having tuned out the entire conversation after Rarity’s dramatic sigh. unfortunately she was snapped awake by Lilith smacking into the floor for the second time in a row. “Who! Wait what?!” The hobgoblin stammered in a daze as she woke up. “Come on Lilith… I just got to sleep…”

“Royal wedding~” Lilith moaned as she layed on the floor, still unconscious.

“So? Politics are boring anyway…” Cyrine grumbled as she tried to readjust herself on the chair.

Lilith decided to wake up at that moment and give Cyrine an incredulous look. “You are running security for a wedding… and there's a royal wedding going on… can you connect the dots?” She asked the hobgoblin.

“So… I don’t see what’s so special about it? It’s just a bunch of stiff collars getting together to preen their feathers in front of everyone and brag about how special they are.” Cyrine replied. “I’m just the muscle, I don’t need to bother with the politics behind it.”

Lilith just stared at Cyrine, eye twitching. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN!? IT’S A WEDDING BETWEEN TWILIGHT’S BROTHER AND ROYALTY!” She shouted while shaking Cyrine.

“Lilith!” Cyrine growled as she broke the grip. “I’m a guard… not technically an attendee… I’m there to help keep the two of them from dying, so it doesn’t help me in my life who the wedding is for.”

Lilith pouted at Cyrine but didn't push the subject. “So when's the wedding?” She asked Rarity.

“It’s about three days from now, so I’ll be working almost twenty-four-seven to make sure everyone has their wedding outfits.” Rarity replied.

“Wow, that's really short notice!” Lilith gasped.

“Oh I know darling… It’ll force me to put my other orders on hold for a while but it will be so worth it.” The white mare replied with a smile. “The major question is what you two will be wearing…”

“I’ll be wearing armor… I am a bodyguard after all.” Cyrine said from her seat.

Rarity rolled her eyes a little. “What about you Lilith?”

“I might wear that dress you made me, Although I don't think it's very proper for a wedding... And should something happen I rather not be restrained by my own dress from helping out…” Lilith said, tapping her chin.

“Exactly, let’s get to some designing!” Rarity squealed.

“Ok, and I have a few ideas for combat dresses so that we can get Cyrine in one!” Lilith giggled.

“B-but… then the dress would get ruined by all that deplorable fighting…” Rarity whimpered as she nearly fainted on her couch.

“Not if we make them right! If made right the dresses could make the fighting look like a elegant dance~” Lilith purred as she looked at Cyrine. “After all, Cyrine once took ballet~”

“Emphasis on once.” Cyrine replied.

“Doesn’t change the fact you look cute when you dance~” Lilith sang while bouncing into the other room.

“Besides, dancing while you’re fighting is realistically proven only to work in fencing, other weapons will take advantage of the distraction.” Cyrine continued.

“Doesn't mean your fighting style doesn't look like dancing…” Lilith called from the other room.

“It doesn’t…” Cyrine replied. “It’s quick and efficient, dancing while fighting wastes extra energy.”

Rarity chuckled a little. “I’m sure she’ll have a set of armor she can use that’s good enough… right?” she said as her eye twitched a little. “Since anything dangerous that could happen would be something she’d need some sort of protection for.”

“She doesn't have any armor at the moment!” Lilith called from the other room as the sound of a sewing machine started to come from the doorway. “But I’m going to get her sword in the morning!”
