Alana checked the stars and moved more westerly. She knew from the map she'd peeled from the hide of a demon thrall that the temple entrance was near. Holding it up to the moonlight she could see the word to open the temple shining brightly.
A few hundred yards later she saw the door. If she didn't know it was there she would never have seen it in the rock face. Every demon temple entrance she'd found in the past was different. She felt the rush of satisfaction at finding yet another one. From the very slight vibration in the ground she knew there was a major demon in there.
"Jackpot!" she whispered as she drew out her silver dagger. The hilt was familiar and held six notches from previous kills. This one - the seventh one AND a major demon - would enchant the silver and make it even more effective. She was looking forward to that sensuous feel of hot blood on her hand as it coated the weapon.
Pressing her palm to the door she could feel the wards. The first time she tried this she didn't know what to do and she still bore the scar of the demon's mark on her palm. She'd had it blessed but it was a constant reminder to be careful.
The words to disarm them were on the map and once they were down she'd have very little time to find and kill the demon. He'd know when they dropped. Her best offense was his confusion and she knew he had a victim in there for her to rescue. It was too late to prevent the start of the breeding but she could stop it before it completed.
Taking a deep breath and one final look at the map she broke the wards and kicked in the door. She felt the brief disorientation of moving from the mortal world to the demon realm and stumbled while she recovered. Directly in front of her she saw the muscular body of the demon and the pale fragile human legs spread around it. She winced at what that poor woman was going through as her screams echoed off the walls. This wasn't the first time she was too late to stop a demon completely but it always pained her to see it.
The demon's back showed the scars of other attempts to kill it. She paused for a moment and wondered if she could succeed. She'd killed smaller ones, as the notches on her dagger showed, but this would be her first major kill. Her teachers had cautioned her about the old ones but the target was too tempting to resist. And she wanted that extra power the blood would give her weapon.
Holding her dagger low she rushed at the conveniently available back of the demon. She pictured the place she would hit and braced herself for the impact. When she got within arm's reach she saw movement out of the corner of her eye. Too late for her to dodge his tail slammed into her and threw her into the side of the altar.
This was the closest Alana had ever been while a victim was being bred. The woman was held down by a collar chained to the stone and her hips were in the hands of the demon. Trails of blood from his claws were dark in the torchlight as they ran down her sides. She could see the shine of sweat on the woman as she was pulled back onto the demon over and over. It seemed impossible that she could take his monstrous cock without being split apart. Gnarled like a tree branch and almost as thick as her bicep it was driven into her faster and harder now. She couldn't help but stare as the outline of it was clearly visible through the woman's body when the demon thrust in and heard her screams mix with his growls when he was fully sheathed.
Getting to her knees Alana shook her head to clear it and looked for her dagger. It wasn't anywhere in sight. Reaching into the pouch on her belt she felt wetness rather than the comforting vials of holy water. She must have fallen on them and cursed the need for them to be in crystal rather than metal.
She summed up her odds of prevailing against a major demon with her weapons gone and came to the logical conclusion that she didn't have a chance. Saying a quiet prayer for forgiveness for leaving the woman there she rose to her feet, ready to run for the still open door.
Once again his tail swept out and knocked her to the ground. Before she could move it was wrapped around her ankle and pulling her in. She clawed at the stone floor, trying to get a handhold, only to end up with broken nails and bleeding fingers. When she was close enough to see the demon's hooves he pulled sharply and slammed her into the base of the altar, stunning her.
His roar mixed with the woman's piercing shriek and shook dust from the ceiling as he flooded her with his seed. Alana covered her ears at the sounds of failure and thought only of escape now. What made it worse is that the woman was shrieking in abject pleasure and submission as she was successfully bred.
Before she could move the demon picked her up by her ankle, dangling her next to the unfortunate woman. Alana could see the dark seed literally bulging out her abdomen and chest with every thrust and pooling between her thighs. It was horrifying and compelling. The altar wasn't flat - it was dished so the cum pouring out of her was kept on the stone, absorbed into it. Before she could register more the demon spun and pulled out of the woman, still hard and shining in the wavering torchlight.
"You found me hunter! Good sport! Too bad you lost this time!" With one hand he aimed that massive, inhuman cock at her and the last of his seed - thick and vile - coated her face and chest. She coughed as it filled her mouth and she couldn't help but swallow some. It ran into her nostrils and stung her eyes as she tried to wipe it away. She looked in horror at her hands, the dark liquid clinging and seeming to soak into her skin.
Alana screamed as her cross seemed to melt into her chest. The heat of it continued to burn under her skin and lower. She could feel it moving through her body and settling in her abdomen. A final flare of heat had her thrashing in the demon's grip until it settled to an uncomfortable warmth.
"Oh yes. You've heard of what demon seed can do. Any skin will do, inside or out." His voice rumbled with humor at her attempts to clean it off. "We're an adaptable lot, once we get strong enough. For her," he gestured with his softened cock at the woman lying on the altar, writhing and moaning, "it was for breeding. My seed is potent, she is worthy of bearing my spawn, and she will breed true."
His tail lifted Alana until their faces were even. She was getting dizzy from being held upside down and the demon's fluid. The heat in her abdomen was centering and pulsing now. "For you I added something else. You won't spawn from me." He gave her a shake. "You don't deserve to breed for me. Not even a nick with that little blade. That I could have respected. Instead you will ... "
He tilted his head, light shining on his horns. "No. I'll let you figure it out hunter. You'll know soon enough. There's things they don't teach you and there's reasons they say to die rather than be captured." She couldn't help but scream as he let her drop towards the floor, stopping when his face was level with her crotch. One claw reached out to split her pants from back to front and he leaned down. With no warning he drove his long tongue into her pussy and left it there. She could feel his drool coating her and pooling deep inside.
Her screams were panicked as the heat from his saliva seemed to merge with the heat from where her cross was settled inside her. Another intense pulse had her trying to curl up and protect herself. A scrape of sharp teeth on her clit had her arching in depraved pleasure. Keeping his mouth covering his pussy he continued to humiliate her. "That will finish it nicely. You're should provide entertainment if you prove worthy, captured hunter." On each of the words 'entertainment', 'worthy', and 'captured' he scraped her clit hard enough to make her scream in both pleasure and pain while his tongue squirmed in her between words.
Contemptuously he dropped her on the floor and picked up her dagger. His hand smoked from the contact of the silver with his skin. Turning back towards the altar he dragged the blade through the puddle of demon cum between the woman's thighs and pushed the hilt into her still spasming pussy. A flash of blue light flared and Alana watched in horror as her dagger melted into a useless hilt. She didn't know it could be unmade much less that easily. He pulled it out and tossed it at her after looking at the notches.
"Six? Not bad. Maybe had you gotten one more I would have considered letting you carry my spawn." He sneered at her and flicked a claw at the altar. The collar snapped open. With one hand he heaved the woman over his shoulder and turned towards the door. She moaned and looked at Alana with heavy, satisfied eyes.
The demon waved his hand in a sweeping gesture and the edges of the temple went black and changed. What was a small cavern was now at least four times the size and lined with black stone statues. He nodded in satisfaction.
"I'll return in a while. Do find a way to keep yourself occupied." His voice was lilting in mockery at her plight.
Alana shuddered at the sound of the temple door closing. As soon as she got her wind back she ran to it and tried to find a latch. Her map only gave her the key to open it from the mortal side. She went through all the words she knew that might open it from this side but nothing worked. Sliding down the door in despair she looked around her prison.
As she had seen in other temples this one had ever-burning torches and an obscenely carved altar with a demon statue at the head. She tried not to look to close at the altars. They disturbed her in a way she couldn't - or wouldn't - accept. She recognized the statue as the demon who had just left. It didn't have the standard phallus looming over the altar for some reason and that puzzled her. She'd yet to hear of a demon who didn't like to flaunt his prowess.
