Hell was surprisingly beautiful sometimes, Phil thought as he stared out of the window. The strange planetary bodies that orbited this realm were sinking down below the horizon, taking the light with them. The sky darkened from a powder-puff pink to a more sensual shade that brought to mind the secrets hidden between a woman's thighs.
In the world of the succubi even the colour of the sky could conjure up lustful thoughts, Phil thought.
Succubi were sex daemons. They drained the life force of men through sexual intercourse. Phil and Jake had been thinking too much of the 'sexual intercourse' part and not enough of the 'drain life force until dead' part when they'd decided to summon a pair of succubi for some 'fun'.
It was pure stupidity. That level of summoning was way beyond the abilities of a couple of mediocre students at Wargsnouts College for Warlocks and they'd paid the price. Jake was dead and Phil was imprisoned in Hell, a plaything for the demons.
"Why so glum, little fledgling?" Rosa asked. She was standing by the door next to VerdƩ. "Do you want a fuck?"
As always they both looked completely gorgeous. They had the faces and bodies of the perfect cheerleaders all the boys -- and probably their fathers too -- wanted to fuck. Their horns, tails and wings didn't detract from that at all. They looked more like the cute little monster girls of Japanese anime than nasty threatening demons.
These cute little monster girls were going to suck out all his life and leave behind a shrivelled husk, Phil reminded himself.
"What do you want?" Phil asked.
It was a pointless question. They wanted to fuck him and suck out more of his life. That was all they ever wanted.
The worst part was Phil's body wanted it too. His cock was already hard and erect. It twitched in eagerness at the thought of once again being sheathed in their silken pussies.
Rosa saw his arousal and stepped forward. She fondled the large globes of her breasts and licked her full red lips.
Her expression of lustful desire abruptly changed to annoyance as she was yanked back by the tail. A girl pushed her way between Rosa and Verdé and stood before Phil. It was the same girl Phil had seen outside Nÿte's room.
NĆæte. That was a memory Phil would rather block out.
The girl's vivid blue hair was short and stood up in spikes. She was wearing the same cornflower blue dress he'd seen her in before. Dark blue horns curled down behind her ears. She looked coyly at Phil with eyes the colour of blood-red rubies.
"We brought you a visitor," VerdĆ© said. "This is CĪrμlÉa."
"Seh-roo-lee-ah," Phil repeated. It wasn't exact, but it was as close as he could get to the alien syllables VerdƩ had uttered.
"She wants to play with you," VerdƩ added.
CĪrμlÉa smiled shyly.
Play? What did they mean?
CĪrμlÉa was clearly a succubus, but she also looked quite young. Well, very young. VerdĆ© had a hand on each of CĪrμlÉa's shoulders and seemed to regard her like a younger sister.
Did succubi have younger sisters? Did they have childhoods?
Phil didn't know.
Looking at the three succubus's faces Phil noticed something. Verdé's long green hair was matched by her glittering emerald eyes. If he remembered correctly Nÿte had jet-black hair and eyes and Nurse Honey had white eyes and blonde hair so fair it was almost white.
Rosa and CĪrμlÉa were different. Rosa had a short red bob, but her eyes were icy blue. CĪrμlÉa had vivid blue hair, but her eyes were deep red in colour. Phil looked back and forth from one face to the other.
"We swapped," CĪrμlÉa said, smiling broadly. "Rosa scared me with her old eyes so I switched them with mine."
Phil looked quizzically at Rosa.
"We don't like to talk about it," Rosa replied, her voice icy.
"Let's go and play," CĪrμlÉa said. She turned on the spot and danced out of the room. Her little blue demon's tail bobbed up and down jauntily behind her.
Phil was still a little confused. He looked to Rosa and VerdƩ for guidance.
"Come on fledgling," VerdĆ© said, pulling him off the bed. "Little CĪrμlÉa wants to play."
She put an arm around his waist and escorted him out of the bedroom. Her body was a little more tense than usual and she hugged him a little tighter. When Phil looked over at her face he thought he could see glimpses of the depths she normally kept hidden.
Ahead of them the young succubus was skipping down the corridor, her tail bouncing excitedly behind her.
"What do you mean by play?" Phil asked.
"She wants to take her turn," VerdƩ answered.
Phil wasn't sure he liked the connotations of that. CĪrμlÉa looked awfully young. She turned back and beckoned them on with an eager smile.
"Um, she looks a bit⦠um⦠young," Phil said.
"Of course," VerdƩ smiled. "Succubi need to be able to satisfy each and every desire."
Phil suddenly felt queasy.
Rosa burst into laughter. "A bit young," she snorted, before laughing again. "She's older than both Verdé and I, and maybe even older than Nÿte."
"CĪrμlÉa is⦠complex," Verde explained. "She's not as she appears."
Phil looked at CĪrμlÉa. That might be, but he really wasn't comfortable with the thought of 'playing' with someone that looked like they could be his kid sister.
They followed CĪrμlÉa up into an area of the castle Phil hadn't visited before. Rosa and VerdĆ© were uncharacteristically quiet. Phil didn't think he'd ever been in their company for this long without one of them trying to grope or fondle him.
The character of the castle changed again. Large murals full of bright primary colours and simple block shapes adorned the walls. They looked like something a child would paint. Phil saw pictures of houses with stick figure dad, mum, brothers, sisters and pets. He saw bright green farms with white fluffy clouds to represent sheep. He saw brilliant blue seas and vivid orange beaches.
The murals showed no respect for boundaries. They leapt from the walls onto the floor and ceiling with bright swathes of colour. The rainbow splashes jumped in and out of the frames of existing paintings.
The style of the murals wasn't consistent. Often they'd begin with simple bright splashes of colour, as if painted by an exuberant child, but then they gradually grew more and more complex until Phil was looking at sections that could have been painted by a grand master. The styles also overlapped. Phil saw a pony rendered with almost photographic quality appear in a farmyard full of cartoon animals. A simplistic stick figure was a participant in an elaborate bacchanalian orgy.
The innocence of the childlike murals was marred by occasional touches of cruelty and brutality. In the bright blue ocean a stick figure swimmer was being chased by an oversized shark fin. In the farmyard scene a cartoon of a sheep was savaging the cartoon of a dog.
Or were his eyes playing tricks on him?
The swimmer was alone on the ocean, smiling beneath a bright yellow sun. The cartoon dog sat next to the cartoon sheep in perfect harmony.
Yeah, just his eyes playingā¦
