'Why did I buy that damn book?'
'Sure I was bored and had spare cash,'
'Then again I don't think I would have bought it if I ended up here,'
"Hey, bro?" Spike's words broke his train of thought, he opened his eyes while resting in the prison cell.
"What?"
"Are you still with me?" Hearing the dragon's words, to which he nodded at his cellmate.
"Yeah just give me a minute still processing this,"
"I hear that," Spike held his right leg as he sat on the stone slab across from him. "Regret coming with me yet?"
He shook his head.
"No. Better be in a cell than get brainwashed am I right?"
"Didn't you hear them? They say they'll 'USE US' doesn't that freak you out a little," Spike questioned.
"Sorta," Spike looked at his friend confused.
"What does that mean?" The dragon asked his cellmate.
"On one side we'll be fine. Unharmed. I highly doubt they'll kill us or even try to torture us. Depending on what they have planned for us," He stated to which the dragon huffed.
"And the other?"
"We'll end up as sex-driven madmen to a bunch of monster girls," When he said this he couldn't help but chuckle slightly. "Which would be ironic since the girls back in the land are having the reverse happen to them now,"
"But with caribou,"
"Yep," Spike lowered his head at that while he turned to his friend. "What's on your mind brother? Aside from our current predicament,"
"I hope Rarity didn't get caught and got away," Spike answered to which his friend gave a deep sigh and held his face.
"Oh my god," He dropped his hand and looked at the dragon. "Are you seriously fixated on her right now? The caribou just invaded equestria and all you can think about is Rarity?"
"What do you mean?"
"My brother with scales. What about Fluttershy? Rainbow? Starlight? Hell, what about Twilight or Celestia?! Are you worried about them at all?!" He asked the dragon to which Spike let go of his leg as he leaned forward on the stone stab.
"I am but-"
"But what? Are you still worried about the mare who rejected your confession?" The dragon's cellmate in such a matter caused him to growl like an animal and speak up. "Spike. Listen, I would help you with your broken heart under different circumstances. Right now you need to stop thinking about your crush!"
The dragon glared at him and crossed his arms.
"Pink-skinned Jackoff,"
"Hey! Uncalled for!" The dragon's cellmate commented but not before firing back with a comment of his own. "Scaly Bastard,"
"Fuck you," Spike huffed as black smoke came from his snout.
"I should have never told you about those words,"
The two sat in silence for a good minute within the cell before they began to snicker, which turned into bellows of laughter. Despite their current predicament, the two found themselves laughing like two siblings over some random joke that wasn't even that good. The sounds of their laughing quickly quiet down as abrupt as it started leaving the two with smiles on their faces.
"You know I wanted to see if we could squeeze in fishing on this trip," Spike stated to which his cellmate chuckled slightly.
"Spike you can't catch anything for the life of you. Hell, you couldn't even pull out an old rusty tin can from Ponyville Lake when you tricked fishing the first time!"
"Like you can't do any better. I remember you caught a guppy that was bigger than your dick,"
"Screw you! At least I caught an actual fish lizard boy,"
"Piss in a hole and die,"
The dragon watched as his cellmate facepalmed at his comment before throwing his hands at him.
"Dear lord you can't even say that line right. It's eat shit and die you daft scaly cunt!"
"Well, I never saw the series now did I?" Spike replied. "I would have seen it if I had known there wouldn't be any werewolves in it but then again. Vampires are so much better,"
"Of course, you would like leeches you cold blood creatures always seem to stick together,"
"At least I don't have some dog goth girl that shares the same name as the princess as a waifu," Spike countered. "Besides Charlie is a better choice than here any day,"
"Now you're taking it too far motherfucker," The cellmate got up as did Spike and the two were ready to fight but stopped upon hearing footsteps at their cell door.
Tensing up Spike turned to his friend who held out his hand and nodded.
"Do what I do alright? Well, get out of this just fine okay?"
"You sure about this Rex?" Spike mimicked his friend's motion as he put his hands behind his head.
"No, but it's better than nothing." As he said this, the door to the cell was opened as light poured into the room of the pale-skinned human and the purple-scaled dragon.
Nearly blinded by the light the two looked up to see their warden enter the cell.
"The demon lord will see you two now," A feminine voice boomed while the two companions stood beside one another.
"About damn time," Rex answered with slight annoyance.
Walking side by side, Spike and Rex kept their hands behind their heads while escorted through the ancient ruin halls. Rex looked to see the little light of the torches, he saw small eyes staring at the two of them as they walked forward.
"Move forward meat!" Being pushed forward the human nearly fell at the strength of the guard behind him. "The demon lord doesn't like to be kept waiting!"
Recovering from the stagger the human turned behind to the tall orc that stood behind him, her tusks bared while she looked down at Rex. He glared and returned to walking forward while Spike looked at him and then at the giant behind them.
"You good?" Spike whispered to which Rex nodded.
"Yeah," Rex responded. "But- nevermind,"
"What?"
"She's a lot different than what I had expected," Rex whispered back causing the dragon to look at him confused.
"What do you mean by that?"
Rex looked behind him for a quick moment seeing the pig face of the orc behind him.
"Expected orcs to look more human,"
"The hell is that supposed to mean?" Spike asked but upon seeing the escort in front of them turned her head as her pointed ear twitched while she slowly turned to look at them while they walked, causing Rex to shake his head.
"Tell you later,"
The one in front of them looked at the two with burning eyes before looking forward to the doors in front of them, watching her open the double doors Spike and Rex were greeted with a throne room. Rather a what remained of a throne room, rumble covered the floor with the remains of pillars damaged and a broken ceiling. However, from the first time they saw this room, it was in a much worse state.
Smaller monster creatures scurried through the throne room with damaged rock and debris, while other monsters such as golem monsters attempted to repair the chamber. Rex and Spike were both amazed by the work the monsters had done in such a short amount of time that was until the orc pushed the two forward.
"MOVE!"
"Alright alright!" Spike hissed with a glare at the orc while Rex shook his head.
While going down the throne room monsters both working and not stopped what they were doing and stared at the two with eyes filled with desire. Rex shifted at the sight of the monster surrounding them, all of them were female causing him to mentally kick himself.
'Way to go Rexy boy! You are responsible for all this!' Rex and Spike were stopped at the foot of the throne leaving the two to wait for the so-called 'demon lord' to reveal themselves. 'Then again this could all be a consequence! A bunch of monsters imprisoned in some old runes? Maybe they have always been here in MLP canon? Right? Undisturbed if we hadn't accidentally awoken them,'
"Kneel meat!" The orc placed her massive hands on the two and forced them to kneel.
The one monster leading them smiled at the two being forced to bend the knee but turned forward to the one upon the throne covered by a spell of some kind.
"Demon lord. The agents of Faust," the hellhound announced, her voice echoing in the large chamber, causing Spike and Rex to look at each other confused.
'Okay getting some context here,'
Rex and Spike look up to the throne as the magic the demon lord used dispelled in a flicker of light. After which the demon lord rises from the throne and slithered into the light, upon her reveal, Rex nearly loses his composer.
'Calm down Rex. She somewhat looks like her. No need to make a scene,'
"These are the agents of Faust?" The demon lord's gaze turned to the hellhound who caught them attempting to flee after waking them from their magical slumber.
"Yes, my lady they reek of her magic," The hellhound boomed with hatred while her fiery glaze shot danger at the two while they knelt.
The demon lord looked at them with her bright yellow eyes. She slithered down the steps to the two, flicking her tongue in the air. Stopping, she looked at Spike for a moment. Her tongue flicked a few times, then stopped while shaking her head.
"This one may be of our traitorous kin descendant but he is no agent of Faust," The demon lord stated her tongue flicked out a few times as she smelled the air around the dragon. "The magic doesn't Faust but tastes... familiar,"
She then turned to Rex who recoiled at her gaze while she leaned forward her tongue flicked at him, her eyes looking down at him like a predator studying prey.
"This one has the same magic on him. But I don't know what he is," She hissed her voice like the venom in her fangs.
She grabbed Rex's chin and leaned closer, her tongue flicking out almost touching his nose.
"What are you, strange one?" She asked her question tinged with genuine curiosity.
"I'm a... I'm a... I'm a human miss," The demon lord tilted her head at his answer.
"Human? I've never heard of a creature like you before. Have we slept so long that a new species now walks Equis?" the demon lord asked, to which Rex gulped slightly, seeing her lean closer.
"Well... um... no... funny story really," Rex nearly choked while the demon lord leaned closer her eyes like searchlights trying to blind his soul. "You see. I'm not from Equis,"
His response caused the demon lord to back away slightly allowing him to relax.
"You are not from Equis?" She echoed but moved back in causing Rex to curse at his luck slightly. "Explain yourself,"
"It's quite a story," Rex replied.
"We have plenty of time, 'human'; you aren't going anyway," the demon lord hissed.
"Okay! Long story short! I was sorta accidentally summoned into Equis by a botched experiment with this magical relic that ripped me from my home and more or less trapped me in this realm since the experiment destroyed the mirror," Rex answered in a panicked tone.
The demon lord moved away, tilting her head some more. She didn't attempt to hide her curiosity about what was said.
"Interesting. Are there any more like you that were brought into this world from this 'botched experiment'?" The demon lord asked to which Rex shook his head.
"No. Just me," Rex answered while the demon lord pulled back her gaze staring down at him while letting him go.
"What is your name human?" The demon lord asked.
"Rex," The human then pointed to the dragon next to him. "He's Spike and we are not agents of Faust,"
"Spike? Quite a fitting name for a dragon," She eyed Spike while circling Rex her tail surrounding him. "I was aware of your lack of affiliation to Faust by the magical sent I picked up on the two of you. However-"
A sudden surge of her tail caused Rex to be coiled in it causing the human to yelp while Spike shot up ready to step in to free his friend. This caused the orc and the hellhound to counter his attack if he had pressed on, Spike would have leaped into his outmatched attempt but with Rex having his hands behind his head his arms were free. Where the dragon was only stopped by an open hand by Rex, the human shook his head to calm his friend down even as the demon lord's coils grew tight around most of his body.
"I smell her children's magic off you. Tell me Rex what was the reason you were here? Were you to be our keepers? Or our jailer?"
"Neither!" Rex couched. "We were sent here on an expedition to study these ruins!"
"Ruins?" Her tongue flicked out at the word, however, her yellow silt eyes stared into his blue eyes. "Lying will not get you far in my court,"
"ACK!" Her coils tightened causing Spike to stand up but a drawn blade stopped him pressing against his neck. "I swear that is what we were sent here for!"
"I can sense a lie from a mile away. Now truth human," The snake hissed.
"Alright-Alright! The whole expedition thing an excuse!"
"Then what is the reason you are here?" Rex grasped as the coils went tighter around his body.
"We are here because of me!" Spike shouted causing the demon lord to look at the dragon.
The hellhound leaned forward to Spike her blade threatening to cut his purple scales and draw blood, yet Spike still held his hands up while looking at the glowing eyes of the beast threatening him.
"Nova steel yourself," The demon lord ordered to which the hellhound backed away slightly her blade still ready to intervene if the dragon did anything to harm her leader. "Speak dragon why are the two of you here?"
"Because I got rejected by my crush," The demon lord leaned forward to Spike at his words but allowed Rex some breathing room by losing her coils. "So under the excuse of the whole expedition, I went here to get away from everyone. To clear my head and get my shit straight,"
"Hmph," The demon lord narrowed her eyes at Spike, looking at him for a moment until backing away back to tower over them. "Then why is he here? If you were so fixated on 'getting away from everyone'?"
She pointed to the one in her coils, Spike looked at Rex who shrugged his hands slightly.
"He's my best friend an asshole at times sure but still my brother," Spike answered causing Rex to smile at his friend.
"You too buddy," Rex answered, the demon lord moved her hand to her chin and hissed in thought.
"Quite an adorable friendship you two have," The demon lord smiled while losing her coils, much to Rex's silent enjoyment of the 'tail-hug' ending which caused him to give a low disappointed grunt. "Curious,"
She looked at the two while her other arm rested under her breasts.
"Why weren't you told this was a prison?" The demon lord asked while the two turned to one another but shrugged.
"Got no idea there miss demon lord," Spike answered to which she chuckled.
"Alice. My name is Alice," Rex's eyes dilated at the mention of her name. "Perhaps I'm asking the wrong question,"
She closed her eyes and took a breath.
"Dragon what do you know of your people's history?" She asked to which Spike shrugged.
Confused by the question Spike gave a slight hum.
"Well. Not much I wasn't raised by dragons but I know the basics," Spike answered as he cleared his throat. "The dragon race has been around longer than the princess and used to live in tribes before the unification War of Equestria. Faust was allied with Endress the dragon who would become the first dragon lord. Umm. Yeah aside from that don't know what else to tell you. Been around since hanging out in the dragon lands and still hold the dragon lord's trials every time there is a need for a new dragon lord,"
Alice hummed her hand still on her chin while looking Spike down.
"When did the first male dragons start appearing Spike?" Alice asked to which both Spike and Rex looked at one another confused.
"Pardon?" Spike questioned to which Alice repeated herself.
"When did your race start having male hatchlings?"
"Since... forever?" Spike asked causing Alice to sigh dropping her hand from her chin.
"I fear this was the case," She stated. "I couldn't sense any demonic mana within you,"
"Demonic mana? Why would dragons have demonic mana?" Spike questioned.
"Better question you should be asking little dragon. How is it you have never heard of the demon empire?"
Spike and Rex shook their heads at her question, getting her answer Alice sighed as she slithered between them.
"Long ago before I was born and crowned the demon lord or the one you know as Faust mother of the princess that rules over you, there was the world we knew as Merlia. A world where we Mamonos roamed and lived in peace with the many other races that doted the land and sea. We Mamonos were all made by the same primal dark magic that created each of us. even if we are all vastly different from one another. By this connection we had created the first empire Merlia had ever seen that stood against the countless tribes of deer, ponies, and other sentient races that weren't created by primal dark magic. However, we lived in peace among them but we had a problem that has plagued us from the very beginning since our creation yet other races lack this 'weakness' and have it in abundance. Males," Alice began
"How did you reproduce?" Spike interrupted the demon lord which caused Rex to slap him upside his head.
"Listen man! I think she'll get to that in a second," Rex scolded allowing Alice to continue.
"You see the primal dark magic that made us, mutated our bodies to where we can only birth females rather than males but through that same magic we can take any sentient male as our husband and give birth. However, the race of the children born from the union would always be that of the mother never the fathers," The demon lord explained. "Due to our lack of males our early days did have us take males so we could survive but even then we treated them with love and compassion,"
"Still sounds like kidnapping," Rex stated but was met with a slap from the dragon. "FUCK!"
"What happened to 'give her a second'?" Spike questioned, only to be given the finger.
Seeing the odd dynamic of the two Alice couldn't help but giggle slightly, however, she did give a nod to Rex's statement.
"Yes, it was. However, by then some males were coming to us after some males visited their home village with tales of their 'pairings' but this didn't stop many tribes from seeing us as a threat. From what I recall, it started small, distrust, slight hatred, and miscommunication. But it then turned into assaults and attacks on Momonos and their husbands, it wasn't until I became demon lord when the first death happened. A medusa and her lover killed a mare who grew jealous of the stallon who grew to love the medusa. That same Mare started to grow support for hate-filled wrath and began to gather more tribes to her cause all that followed her named her 'Faust' the first queen of Equestria started a crusade against us,"
"Wait-wait-wait!" Spike interpreted but wasn't slapped this time. "You tell us that Faust. Queen Faust the one to unite all of Equestria after the unification war to fight back against the terrors of the wild went to war with you?"
Rex looked at Alice who stood silent above them and then to Spike, still trying to process what he facepalmed at the realization.
"Spike. History is won by the victor," Rex said to his friend. "Did the unification war ever have any record of battles?"
"Well no it was a long time ago. Before Princess Celestia and Luna, most records of the war haven't survived the test of time and current records are only backed by the princesses from what they had been told. From. Their. Mother," Spike took a breath. "Okay, I can see where this going,"
"Yeah 'fight back against the terrors of the wild' what exactly were the terrors of the wild besides the windigos and Usra Majors?" Rex asked to which Spike turned to him.
"Why didn't you question it? You've been here long enough to read Equestria history," Spike argued.
"I'm an adult Spike I'm not going to school to learn the entire history of another country. Just the basics besides we have been busy with a shit ton of other things like I don't know saving ponyville from any friendship problems every week or saving Equestria from a grand threat every month! It's like a full-on job half the time," Rex countered back. "On top of all that you are always busy asking me questions on: 'Can you tell more about the salamanders?' or 'So what happens after name character from various comic book/show' that or were playing D&D with Big Mac, discord, and the rest of the guys,"
"Okay, what about during your free time?" Spike asked to which Rex scoffed turning away from the demon lord.
"What free time? Whenever I'm not doing those things I'm cleaning the castle with you since Twilight is such a cheap scape she wouldn't hire a goddamn maid service!" Rex shot back.
Spike held out a finger but stopped himself.
"You got a point," Spike answered which caused Rex to sigh.
"Thank you. Also," Rex then slapped Spike upside the head again. "That was for interrupting her AGAIN,"
"Jerk," Nova looked at the two jaw dropped confused by the relationship the two had while beside her, the guard orc was amused by the slapping.
"Apologizes for the interruption from my scaly friend your highness please proceed,"
"Nothing to apologize Rex. You two remind me of how my sister Domica and I used to be," Alice explained.
"Where is she now?" Spike asked.
"She and her husband fell at the first battle for the demon kingdom," Alice answered to which both friends went silent. "Faust's crusade had grown in number from a handful of pony tribes to a force that could challenge our empire. She had sought old knowledge and text during the growth of her influence and learned lost magic from the days before Pony and Mamono. Claiming she was a goddess and her power knew no limit. Her influence even reached some Mamonos where she had brought them to her side against us,"
"Why? I thought she hated your people," Spike questioned.
"She did. But she knew even with her power her people were no match for all of us she needed outside help,"
"From who?" The human threw out his question.
"The griffins, the diamond dogs, and even the dragons," Alice looked to Spike who flinched but shook his head.
"No that can't be right. You said yourself that Mamonos can't have male kids how do you explain: me?"
"Faust's quest for knowledge had led her into learning forbidden magic, that would permanently alter the magical state of a being," Alice answered. "This magic would only corrupt for learning it would make one believe themselves as divine,"
"Hints the whole god thing," Rex recalled. "So this magic. It altered those Mamonos that sided with her,"
Alice gave a low nod.
"Yes. It poured the primal dark magic from their bodies reshaping them but stripping them of what had united them from all of us no longer connecting them to us," Alice held her hands at the mention of serving the connection. "I don't think you two would understand. Doing such a thing is impossible to describe in words,"
Alice and the rest of the Mamono went silent at the idea leaving Spike and Rex to speak up.
"What happens then?" The two's voices overlapped to which Alice sighed.
"The final attack happened. Our home had been burned and razed to the ground despite our best efforts we couldn't hold back even after our kind betrayal," Alice recalled. "We kept on losing until what remained of our empire was routed to our capital here among what you know as our prison,"
The demon held out her hands to the throne room.
"What was the great Cinder mountain castle of the demon empire became our last stand," Alice lowered her arms and looked at the two. "And in the final hour Faust in a last effort to spite us out of her selfish act used a forbidden spell that sealed us within our very home where we have remained for countless centuries until now,"
"How did you come to be free now?" Spike yet again asked a question.
"A great magical backlash," Alice answered. "One powerful enough to disband Faust's spell,"
"From what?"
"This time I don't possess the answer to your question," Alice said while raising her hand. "But I believe it may have something to do with what is going on in the mainland,"
"The pulse," Spike spoke aloud. "That weird sonic rainboom! I knew something happened back home Rex we got to go!"
Spike turned to leave but was stopped by the orc before holding a giant mace in her hand while towering over her.
"Buddy I don't think that's going to be happening anytime soon," Rex responded after not moving from his spot.
"But the girls we got to know what happened," Spike threw back to which Alice snapped her fingers.
"All you had to do was ask," With the action of her thumb and middle finger a spell was fired off as a magical window appeared behind her. The two looked at the spell with their eyes widening.
"By the goddess," Spike whispered which was responded a nodding Rex.
What they were seeing was an invasion or rather the aftermath of one. The flag of Equestria burned, buildings were reduced to rubble, blood stained the streets of the various pony cities flashing before them, and the invaders were all reaping the spoils of war. Rex looked away while Spike had his eyes glued onto the magical window seeing his whole world being defiled.
"I have spent the last few hours attempting to learn how much time has passed and what new nations have arisen from our imprisonment. Seeing the fate of what happened to those that had us locked away, it seems during our awakening Equestria has fallen," Alice commented. "These Caribou have stolen our revenge before we could lay claim to it,"
In a flick of her wrist the oberstivation spell was dispelled, and the demon lord rose herself up to look down at the two her eyes narrowing at the duo.
"But perhaps we will simply take our retribution on the two of you," Alice subjected causing all the Manonos to agree with their master. "Although the two of you aren't agents of Faust you serve her children so we will no harm you. However it has been many years during our inprisonment and most of us have never had the chance to bed a man. You understand,"
Hearing her words Spike's eyes widened, but that feeling of terror went deeper as his blood ran even colder at the touch of the large hand of the orc standing behind him. His body shivered while she licked her lips while lowering her head down to his ear in flight. Rex however looked at the many monster girls for a moment, and in a brief instance did consider what was about to happen. But seeing his best's friend reaction to this along with knowing his friends back home were facing something terrible he took a breath.
'The things I do for my friends... Twilight you so OWE me for this,"
"Wait!" The human shouted over the massive cluster of monster girls. "Surely you don't need to do this,"
"Oh?" Alice intrigued by the sudden examination slithered forward. "Why is that?"
"Well... As much as that sounds fun don't get me wrong it seems a waste of time,"
"Begging will you not help you," Alice smiled but Rex shook his head.
"I'm not begging or misleading you or whatever you think. If you would. Do you mind hearing me out?" Rex asked to which Alice's curiosity got the better of her allowing the human to speak his peace. "As you know your vengeance against ponykind was taken. But I believe this is a blessing in disguise for you and your people,"
"Rex, what you doing?" Spike's voice spoke up but was stopped by Rex holding a finger to his companion to be quiet.
"These caribou pillaged equestria right and all that. Now is the prefect time to strike for your people,"
Alice looked at Rex before laughing at what he had said which was followed by the entire throne room of Mamonos.
"You wish for us to fight against these caribou for their invasion of our enemy? As allies for our enemy? The same enemy who locked us away because they blindly followed a love starved pony with a god complex?" Alice waved her hand. "Please,"
"No. I'm telling you now is the prefect time because the caribou have their pants down both metoforically and literally. I'm trying to say they're open game. Not because Spike and I have a close relationship with the ponies but you have the chance to reclaim your lost territory and the chance to show the world your back!" Rex explained. "Imagine it: The Mamonos returning from centries of magical inprisonment showing up not only the caribou but the ponies the very ones for your imprisonment. You saving your former enemy isn't a sign of weakness but a show of power,"
Rex's words caught Alice's attention more causing her to circle him again.
"Keep talking,"
"You'll be sticking the finger to Faust's legacy after what she did to you and your people. You'll be telling everyone your not anyone's bitch," Rex pressed on. "And after what is said and done. The demon empire will back to it's former glory and then some,"
"Quite the pitch your selling Rex but why should I trust you?" Alice hissed circling closer around him again, yet Rex held his ground.
"Because Spike and I will surrend to you," Rex once again made the demon king laugh, while Spike glared at his friend but shivered as the orc roughly patted his back at how hard she was laughing.
"You are already in my possession to offer yourselves to me," The demon lord giggled while her coils started to wrap around Rex.
"We will do so willing as a form of political arrangement. Think of as a contract with us as cortical," Rex explained to which Alice raised her brow.
"You speak of wedlock?"
"In a way. Yes, we are both recognized figures in not just Equestria but the world. Spike is the ward of Princess Twilight Sparkle, defender of Crystal Empire, and the current dragon lord,"
"DUDE!" Rex turned to Spike throwing his hands out for him to shut up.
"And what of you? "Alice wrapped herself suddenly around Rex again this time having his arms down trapping him at her mercy.
"ACK! I am a friend to the elements but I don't think that'll get me anywhere here," Rex grunted. "However I have somewhat of a noble status within the Equestria royal court be it a small one. Only as the ambassador of humanity which I hope that has some standing here among your court,"
Hearing his panted argument Alice held the human within her coils, staring at the human for a moment in thought for a second.
"If I accept this: 'contract' of yours I will set the terms," Alice demanded.
Rex seeing he had no place in arguing gave a nod.
"As long as you deal with the caribou we will accept," Rex bowed his head however his scally friend wasn't so accepting.
"Rex!"
"Spike! This is the only shot we have alright! We can argue about this later bro but right now if you want to help everyone back home you will agree to this," Rex shouted back while Alice smiled in delight as the dragon looked away defeated.
"Fine,"
"Excellent," Alice moved Rex closer to her as her smile grew while looking into his eyes and gently holding his cheek. "I had a feeling you would be an interesting creature human. I expect to see more entertaining feats from you,"
Releasing him Alice stood over the human.
"We will accept this contract of yours and lay siege to the caribou but afterward. Heh," Alice's smile didn't fade. "We'll work out the details later but as of right now Spike the dragon and Rex the human you are mine,"
The monsters surrounding them laughed while Spike was let go by the orc, walking over to Rex he lightly punched the human's shoulder while the demon lord slithered back to her throne.
"What did you get us into Rex?"
"I don't know," Rex answered. "But sometimes you gotta make a deal with the devil,"
Author's Note
Holy crap! This wasn't what I had planned but I know people would get pissed at me if I didn't explain everything in the first chapter. I don't normally put 5k+ in the first fucking chapter but I wanted to get the context down and world building and eh...
This idea is weird yes but interesting if you think about it.
I mean monster girl quest aside being a H game is very detailed and has a actually good story. So I'm saying this besides my dylexia and grammar issues just give this story a chance to explain itself.
I know people will spam the dislike button, hell when I posted this on my blog as a sneak peek so people can see the idea and all that I got one person who hit the dislike button when this chapter was only five hundred words.
I hadn't even finished this chapter, one dislike before it even went off the ground.
*Sigh*
Well, aside from that let me get onto the story itself and explain for context.
The monster girls in this story are based off the monster girl encyclopedia/monster girl quest however they lack the human side being more beastie. Certain monster girls wouldn't appear in this story such as: 'Elves, dwarves, and other solely humanoid monsters', demon type monsters will appear but they will lack human appearance I'll figure it out.
Think of this way, Alice (yes that alice if you know) looks like a viper from x-com and the orc guard looks like a orc from konosuba. Sorry if your waifu was a high orc from the book.
Speaking of, if you guys want to what monster girl I'm talking about when I mention them in the story check out Careless Caretaker on youtube. Most the stuff I know now is from watching his videos on various monster girl bios.
If you made this far thank you for reading and hopefully the next chapter wouldn't be so complicated.
