Even as some humans dared to enter the black market district located in the massive capital city's slums, just with a glance it was clear that most robed beings on the narrow streets had unnatural proportions despite their attempts to cover all of their skin in fabric. Some moved with clear purpose while others wandered around between shops and stalls but all of them avoided the paintings that hung before a building that dominated the small plaza at the center of the district.
All of the framed paintings depicted the same beautiful blond woman who had the ample but perky shapes of an elf. Only her lower face was hidden with a red veil and seven golden spirit tails flowed around her flawless alabaster skin to cover her nipples and pussy. The detail on all of the art was unnaturally life-like and if someone were to look at her amber eyes they would notice how they pulsed with an alluring golden glow.
But only a few of the passing figures were tempted to even glance at the paintings. Instead, they locked their eyes on the ground and moved past them as quickly as possible like even demons had become mortified to have their souls stolen by the pictures that turned increasingly vivid and irresistible the more one gazed upon them.
"Gaunt, you promised me this would work but nobody is even approaching," a serene voice stated almost loudly enough to pierce the buzzing of the oddly silent market square. It came from the balcony that was above the paintings. Behind the red curtain covering it from the pedestrians was the currently undisputed ruler of the black market district. The spirit kitsune Celina laid with an elevated elbow on a divan that matched the curtains around her.
"They must simply feel unworthy of approaching even the representations of the mistress of the golden flames in all your undivided glory, should we encourage some suitable candidates to examine the paintings a bit closer?" a muscular imp groveled before the kitsune. Unlike her, his whole body was covered with red fabric and he wore a mirror mask to hide even his demonic facial features. Though even with the robe, it was clear that he had wings folded against his back.
"What are you implying? Did my beauty stop being enough to have willing souls line up to offer themselves to me?" Celina demanded after licking her sharp teeth that were hidden behind her veil. Her right hand moved to stroke her long blond hair while she focused on her reflection to calm down. She shifted her position and her ample bouncy breasts swayed to close the tempting gap between them for a moment.
"Of course not, these common fools must feel shy about having their souls enter your magnificent body to nourish your divine appetite," Gaunt declared on his knees while he made sure to keep his face lifted to let her mistress use his mask as a portable mirror. Celina just sighed as she focused on figuring out the actual cause behind the decrease in her ability to acquire souls through her lovingly created paintings.
"It must be that lecherous brute again, I dread to check how many of my paintings he has stolen this time," Celina voiced and she motioned the two imps that were holding large red fans to move faster. Despite her not even being in direct sunlight, she was burning hot enough to cause slight blushing on her skin. As her hunger had become harder to sate with each spirit tail she had managed to grow, so had the symptoms from her lack of nourishment intensified.
"The newest paintings have been distributed to places the unworthy thief would never look, you should have your well-deserved nourishment at any moment," Gaunt declared and a moment of impulsive anger filled Celina like she had just been promised what she craved above anything else and not getting it. Even her firm and smooth stomach pulsed with an empty sensation and memories of her past feasts visited her mind. Even the ones filled with perverse substance she wanted to forget, something that was not fitting for a demon of her power.
"Then why have I only gotten two weak souls today? And five yesterday? I used to have hundreds to pick and choose at leisure," Celina almost flared and she might have manifested her tails to punish the imp to vent her frustrations if not the speaking making her increasingly aware of the thirst on her soft lips that would only get worse if she wasted her energy. Even her attempt to lick them only made them burn harder despite her mouth being filled with saliva that she had to swallow down to avoid spilling.
"I can assure you, I took personal care in placing the paintings and once those who feel that their souls are worthy of entering your divine body find them, I'm sure sweet nourishment will soon flow to you," Gaunt voiced with slight trembling on his tone. It alone made Celina amused for a moment while she remembered what she had done to the one who preceded him after he had failed her too many times. Though at least this new favored servant had a way with his words that pleased her.
"If even one of them got stolen, I will have to punish you," Celina mused and she began focusing her senses into the paintings that were connected to her. First, she gazed into the hall that housed her personal collection of her favorite paintings that captured her beauty most perfectly. The walls were filled with them so she saw all of them from multiple angles while a smile spread on her lips and even her hunger calmed down for a moment.
Once Celina was done admiring herself, she sighed and moved her senses into the paintings that were further away from her body. Some of them hang in empty warehouses and even the sewer. It did not take her long to decide what she wanted to do with the ones that were placed in the most revolting places, so those paintings burst into golden living flames until there was nothing but the frames left. Though even then she knew they were not the most disgusting places the art depicting her could be placed.
When a hall that was decorated with mostly empty frames opened before Celina's eyes, she knew her senses had entered the place she dreaded the most. And like to drive in that realization, in the middle of the hall, a familiar purple demon was using his notable bulging muscles to ram both of his rigid shafts into a redhead's holes from behind. Even his silver hair was swaying like he was in a competition for the fastest battering speed.
Mazikel held the jaw of the woman so that his fingers dug into her cheeks to force her to reveal some of the most obvious signs of her being a kitsune despite her mostly elvish form. Her sharp teeth that lined her mouth, and her usually agile long tongue that drooled down her chin in a swollen state. Every devastating hip strike into her ass sent a visible pulse along her athletically toned flexible body. The force of the impacts even seemed to carry all the way to the tip of her twitching taste organ.
On the redhead's neck was a collar with a notable wooden tag that had "Mira" written on it in red letters. Just seeing it made Celina's own neck tingle a bit along the line where her own collar had been during the time she had submitted to serve this demonic master's twisted desires toward kitsunes to get what she had wanted from him.
