***Cyrea***
Descending the elevator I could feel Dante's presence slowly slip out of my mental reach. A lingering taste of his lust was the last thing I felt through our bond. He was going to claim Layla, I was sure of it! My mate, my wonderful mate. An excited giggle escaped my lips. We only said our goodbyes a mere minute ago, and already I was eagerly anticipating seeing them again.
I closed my eyes and licked my lips in anticipation. Dante had become a powerful demon after my bite, and I was very eager to see, taste and
feel
how Layla's soul would strengthen him further. Lewd fantasies flooded my mind, fueling my desire for my mate. Feeling his power coursing through him while he'd be sliding his muscular body along mine... Images of a freshly fucked Layla laying in bed with us, Dante's cum dripping out of her soaking pussy made me moan and squeeze a nipple. How I longed to lap his delicious cum from her pussy - I could almost taste it now... Oh, how I couldn't wait for these fantasies to become reality!
Too soon did the elevator
ping
its arrival in the lobby, disturbing my lecherous thoughts and I took a deep breath before stepping into the lobby. Destiny first, pleasure later.
Stepping out, I was not surprised to pick up the lingering scent of sex on both doormen. I giggled as one of them clearly smelled of Charlene and the other had Layla's scent all over him. I inhaled deeply on my way to the exit door, savoring the residual snippets of lust in the air. Charlene politely greeted me on my way out and I winked at her in return.
On the way home I pondered how to Dream Walk. My plan to visit Eir via my dream sounded so easy when I proposed it, but truth be told - I had no idea how to actually do it. It wasn't like I intentionally traveled to hell the last two times, that just...happened.
Back home I figured I'd do what I normally do when going to sleep - undress and go to bed. I crawled into bed and sighed pleasurably - how I loved our new bed. Dante didn't want to spend a lot of money on buying a new bed after the previous one got all slashed up, but I insisted we'd get a huge, soft and comfortable one. I smiled while I slowly sunk into the soft mattress - it was worth every cent.
Relaxing my body, I willed my mind to focus on Eir and her cave in hell. Through slow and regular breathing I managed to fall into a sort of meditative state and I felt sleep slowly creeping into my mind. My focus on Eir was slipping and I felt the darkness of sleep overtake me.

My eyes were closed. A rumbling sound pierced my sleepy haze and my nose started to itch with the penetrating stench of sulfur.
Wait... Sulfur? My eyes snapped open and I was greeted by the dreary darkness of hell.
I squealed in delight. I did it! I was back!
I never thought I'd be happy to be back here... A tiny giggle escaped my lips - the things we'd do for love...
Quickly I beat my wings and took to the skies, looking for that familiar gorge where the Valkyrie made her home. This being my third visit here, I managed to locate it effortlessly and swooped down to land at its mouth. I peered down inside, trying to spot that familiar blue light in the darkness. I saw some blue flashes bursting from it, some small ones, but some really big ones that briefly illuminated the entire gorge. The eerie silence that dominated the area was occasionally broken by a faint roar coming from the gorge.
'Oh, no.... That can't be good...' I thought.
A feeling of dread crawled up my spine and without hesitation I took off, swooping down into the gorge, in search of Eir's cave.
When the gorge became narrower and my wings started scraping along the rocky walls of its walls, preventing me from flying further, I dropped down on foot and ran as fast as I could towards the blue flashes. Occasionally a demonic growl or screech would echo along the dead rocks and my dread increased - that sounded like a battle.
"Hold on Eir, I'm coming..." I whispered to myself and traversed the narrow gorge as quickly as I could, the abundance of sharp rock sticking out everywhere cutting me and slowing me down.
The flashes of light started getting brighter and the sounds of an ongoing battle reached my ears. I could hear the gurgling death screams of several demons, alternated by high pitched wails coming from Eir.
Rounding the corner to the clearance outside Eir's cave entrance I quickly took in the sight - roughly twenty demons lay scattered all over the clearing, either dead or dying. Most had severe cuts all across their bodies or were missing limbs altogether. Many more were still on their feet, some were unscathed, but most had been wounded.
My scouring eyes then spotted the biggest creature of them all and rage filled my chest when I recognized him - a tall winged demon, lean and skinny, completely covered with menacing, black spikes. Tachanka.
He was one of the Demonic Lords who had tried to claim me brutally a few millennia ago. He was pure evil and I hated him with every fiber of my soul. He rode upon an imposing manticore, chains rattling from its paws and wings, which were covered in old, jagged scars. My heart ached for this powerful majestic creature as it had been so savagely enslaved by Lord Tachanka.
The Demonic Lord in question was watching the battle from a safe distance while the majority of his army lay dead or dying. I suppressed a furious growl - what a coward! Physical strength was never his strong suit, and he relied more on wit and cunning to outsmart his opponents.
I was young and weak when Tachanka had captured and abused me. Now though, several millennia later, my strength had grown significantly - especially since my mating with Dante - and I found myself very eager to help Eir in her defense against this monster.
Suddenly a brilliant blue light flashed us all and a huge shockwave pushed me back against a wall, my wings barely missing a sharp spike that jutted out. Tackanka's still standing army was blasted backwards in the shockwave and I gasped in awe when my gaze settled on Eir. She was floating in the air, her body emitting a strong blue, pulsing light. She wielded her staff and the air around her was literally crackling with her magic power.
I saw her mouth move while she was feverishly mumbling a magic spell, her eyes blazing fiercely in their blue light. The air around her crackled and sparked with her magic as ten or so large spears of lightning started forming around her. The spears quickly became brighter and brighter until they resembled bolts of lightning floating in the air, encircling her. With a powerful wave of her hand, Eir launched them at her enemies, slashing and piercing the demons where they went. The excruciating sounds of painful roars echoed throughout the clearing as one demon after the other fell to the floor - some dead, or missing limbs, others gasping their last breath.
My triumphant roar was drowned out by Tackanka's venomous roar of rage. With that thunderous voice of his he barraged his commands to the few demons that were still standing, demanding them to protect their Lord and initiate a full attack on Eir. Bleeding and limping, they scrambled to their feet to blindly follow their master's orders.
Eir had been severely weakened by the battle, however. She landed clumsily on the floor and where the air around her was crackling with her magic moments before, that impressive display of power was reduced to a faint fizzle now. She leaned heavily on her staff, panting hard as she watched the remainders of Tackanka's army prepare for a final attack. Despair crept into her face - realization that she was powerless to defend herself against this final attack was easy to read in her white eyes. She instead braced herself, summoning a makeshift shield around her to draw out her imminent defeat.
Oh, hell no! I was not going to let those demons kill Eir! I summoned all of my power and let it course through me. With tremendous speed I dashed towards the unsuspecting demons in the backline and let my claws rend through all the flesh I could reach. The element of surprise proved essential while the demons in the front were too focused on Eir to realize their allies were dropping like flies behind them. By the time Tackanka's infuriating roar reached their ears, my claws were close behind and slit their throats. Making sure I got every last one of them I dashed towards Eir and stood in front of her, spreading my wings to block her from Tackanka and growling ferociously at him.
Behind me I heard Eir release a relieved breath at seeing me. "Are you alright?" I quickly asked her, not daring to look at her and break my line of sight with a surprised, yet furious Tackanka.
"I used my last power reserve in that attack..." she replied weakly. "I need some time to...replenish," she whispered.
My eyes carefully tracked Tackanka's movements while he steered his manticore to the side of the clearing. "How much time?" I grumbled, watching him closely, looking for any signs of an impending attack.
"A few minutes..." Eir replied, and dragged herself further into the cave, away from Tackanka.
"I'll stall him. For as long as I can... But please... Hurry..." I urged her.
There was no way I could take on Tackanka by myself. No way in hell. Despite my increased strength after being claimed by Dante, I couldn't take on a Demonic Lord, not even a lesser one like the degenerate fuck that was prowling around on his enslaved manticore. My only option was to stall him as long as possible, giving Eir the precious time she needed to replenish her magic. 'Together we
