Corruption Of Deadpan Priestess 05

--- Day 82 ---

Aurelia lay on the ground, dried tears caking her cheeks.

Why is this happening... Why did I let this happen...

The last blessing from her god had been shattered, and by her own hand too. Any evidence of the god she once followed had finally disappeared.

Why did I let this happen...

The thought repeated in her head.

Aurelia clasped her arms together and pulled her knees to her chest. She curled up on the ground, trying to stave off the chilly air of the void. Her magic should nullify anything more than a chilly breeze, but the air felt so, so cold...

Suddenly, an out-of-tune humming echoed out of the void.

Aurelia grimaced at the familiar sound. She tried to ignore it, gritting her teeth and digging her nails into her palm, but the humming only grew closer.

Eventually, the noise came to a stop behind her. Silence filled its place, as if the air held its breath.

"What do you want," Aurelia finally spoke up.

"I thought you might be asleep, so I didn't want to wake you, haha," an awkward laugh came from outside her line of sight.

Aurelia let the silence hang, then repeated her question. "What do you want?"

The slithering of scales came closer and Aurelia reflexively grimaced. Then, a warm softness enveloped her shoulders as a blanket was laid over her. "You looked cold..." The voice came again.

"Mind your own business..." Aurelia whispered, but she didn't push away the blanket. She pulled it tighter, tucking her knees further into her chest.

More rustling of scales came from behind her and a warmer source of heat pressed against her back. Pink-skinned hands squeezed around her, forming a tight embrace.

"I said, mind your own damn business!" Aurelia shouted under her breath and tears once more welled up in her eyes. She tried to hold them in, but the hot drops burned their way out, welling up on their own.

"It's gonna be okay..."

"No, it's not!" Aurelia shouted now. Those pink-skinned arms squeezed her so tight, she felt like she'd hurl. Nausea built in her throat and she barely managed to swallow it back.

"It's gonna be okay, I promise..." Those powerful hands pulled her up, bringing her face to a warm shoulder. She hated that shoulder more than anything...

"This is all your fault..." Aurelia whispered. "This is all your fault. This is all your fault!" Her voice rose into a shout as she repeated the words.

Aurelia thrashed against the pink arms, swinging her fists against the chest she hated so much. Over and over, she slammed the butt of her palms against the shoulders in front of her.

"I promise, it's gonna be alright."

"What do you know!? There's nothing left for me. It's all gone and it's all your fault!!"

Aurelia swung her fists into the pink-skinned chest over and over, but the strong arms never released her. She beat her hands against it until pain arced through her wrists, but those strong arms never released her.

"What do you know..." Aurelia whispered now. She let her arms fall limply to her sides. The hot tears she tried to hold back now flowed endlessly down her cheeks. "What do you know..."

No answer came. Instead, the arms pulled Aurelia tighter, fingers stroking her hair. Aurelia's face fell into the crook of a pink-skinned shoulder, and she silently stayed there.

"I'll make sure it turns out alright. I promise..." the voice came again.

"It's already broken," Aurelia whispered, shaking her head. "It's broken, and there's no way to fix it!"

"Even still, it'll turn out alright..."

"I don't need it to be alright, I need it fixed!" Aurelia shouted again.

No response came, only the silent fingers stroking her hair.

"Why... Why did I let it break..." Aurelia looked up, meeting Synsia's gaze. "Why did I let it break...?"

Synsia smiled gently but didn't respond.

In those soft eyes, Aurelia felt her anger flare up once more. She wanted to shout out, knock the kindness from that stupid expression, but she knew it was useless. That wouldn't bring back what she lost, nothing could.

From the very first moment she arrived here, her life as a priestess had been over. Whether the seal broke or held fast, she still wouldn't have a place to return to. In the end, the shattering of the seal meant nothing...

Aurelia lowered her eyes, burying her face back into Synsia's warm shoulder. Those warm fingers returned, stroking through her hair. The sensation made her sick, but pushing them away seemed like too much effort...

--- Day 83 ---

Aurelia awoke in Synsia's warmth. The Lamia's long thick tail wrapped around her, from her shoulders to her toes. As she stirred awake, the coils began to loosen and pull away.

"Good morning," Synsia called out.

Aurelia wiped the sleep from her eyes, turning towards the sound. "Hm? What are you doing awake?"

"I didn't sleep," Synsia grinned. "I thought you might run away again, so I stayed up all night to watch over you."

As she slowly came back to her senses, Aurelia looked around, remembering where they were. For as far the eye could see, there was nothing but void. And she was here because....

"Why..." Aurelia found herself mumbling. She frowned as more memories returned and she caught back up.

Why am I so weak? Why would you even want to hold someone like me captive..?

The thoughts arose in her mind.

"I mean, staying up one night isn't too hard. And it's like I said, I enjoy spending time with you."

Aurelia winced at those words. A wave of nausea hit her and she took a deep breath to hold it back. "I don't get it," she eventually replied. From Synsia's words to the unease in her belly, she didn't understand any of it.

"Well, think it over," Synsia yawned. She then curled up on the ground, using her hands as a pillow. "For now, I'm tired."

What is the point of her staying up if she's just gonna fall asleep immediately!?

Aurelia shook her head.

And she's not even using a proper pillow!

Aurelia furrowed her brow, then walked up and kneeled down beside her.

"Hm?"

"The ground is hard, What are you thinking? Trying to sleep on it like that..." Aurelia scowled down at the Lamia. She had slept on it when first coming here, so she knew from first-hand experience just how hard the ground was.

"Oh, I'm fine-"

Aurelia deepened her scowl, silencing Synsia with a look. "Don't be dumb. I'm not gonna heal you if your back starts hurting you know." Gently, she took Synsia's head, placing it into her lap. "At least do this much for yourself..."

Synsia's eyes widened, then a soft smile rose to her lips. Silently, she turned on her side, nuzzling her cheek against Aurelia's thighs. Before long, her eyes drifted to a close. The sight sickened her.

She's always leaving herself so defenseless...

Aurelia dug her nails into her palm, grimacing. Her hands trembled as she clenched them into fists.

Why... Why is she like this? She's practically showing her neck to me!!

A familiar heat rose in her throat and she gritted her teeth to hold it back. Her stomach lurched as a wave of nausea built inside her chest.

This stupid, stupid Demon!

She ought to strike her down now. While sleeping, Synsia was completely defenseless. There was nothing stopping her from using her strongest spell right now and ending this charade once and for all.

And yet... Thinking those things just made her nausea stronger. She trembled, so angry that she could puke. And yet, she couldn't do anything.

Aurelia swallowed back the nausea. She turned her face to the sky, taking shaky breaths through parted lips.

Why... Why...

Tears dripped down her face. As the anger and disgust faded, strange new feelings arose in their places.

I don't get it. I don't get any of this.

Why was she crying? Why did it feel like she was going to puke? Why did seeing Synsia so defenseless make her so angry? She just didn't understand.

Aurelia took deep breaths, trying to reign in her emotions once more. The steps were simple, she'd done them a hundred times. And yet, now, trying to suppress her tears felt like scaling a mountain.

Aurelia stared at the sky, letting the tears flow freely. She could do little more than focus on her breath as the salty drops trickled down her face.

-

Eventually, the tears dried up and Aurelia turned her gaze downwards once more.

Synsia slept as peacefully as ever, smiling in her sleep.

At the sight, Aurelia sighed.

You really do need to protect yourself more...

Gently, she tucked Synsia's hair behind one ear.

Synsia giggled, nuzzling her face deeper into Aurelia's legs. As her nose brushed her inner thigh, Aurelia couldn't help blushing a little. With each slow exhale, Synsia's hot breath tickled up her skirt.

This is no good...

She ought to be frustrated, angry at her current position. Yet, when she gazed down at Synsia's sleeping face, she felt none of that.

Synsia breathed gently, her pink lips parted slightly. Her cute ruby-red eyes lay closed, flicking in an unknown dream. Her entire face was completely slack, except for a small smile on her lips.

As Aurelia stared down at Synsia, her form cast a shadow over the sleeping Lamia. The outline of herself reminded Aurelia once more that she had been staring for far too long.

I shouldn't be doing this, but I can't look away...

Synsia was just too cute, far too cute. Even when sleeping- No, especially when sleeping. Aurelia couldn't take it. She couldn't take it at all. The Lamia was just too cute.

She could almost laugh. Only a few moments ago, the scene before her filled her with anger and disgust. Yet now, she felt like her heart would split in two if she looked away. Her chest

ached

at how cute Synsia was right now. Butterflies formed in her belly each time Synsia smacked her lips. When Synsia smiled a dreamy smile, Aurelia's breath caught in her throat.

Tears began to form in her eyes once more.

She's just too cute. She's too cute.

The droplets trickled down her cheeks, collecting at her chin. As Aurelia continued to stare, she could hardly breathe. She just felt so happy to have Synsia's head in her lap.

What is wrong with me!?

Aurelia cried out in her head, choking back a sob. She couldn't keep up anymore. Her emotions swirled in dizzying spirals, wreaking havoc within her. Whether she cried from happiness or confusion, she no longer knew.

Eventually, she could no longer contain her voice. Her muffled sobs echoed around the void, her choking-strained gasps for air joining them.

The tears, now too heavy for her chin, dripped off. They fell directly down onto Synsia's face. Aurelia wanted to apologize, but she couldn't wake up Synsia just for that.

Her tears were a bother, she was a bother... Even as Aurelia tried to wipe them away, more of her tears splashed down onto Synsia's cheeks.

"I'm sorry," Aurelia mouthed the words, but no sound came out. She kept repeating the words over and over, but she couldn't bring herself to say them outloud. Waking Synsia now would be even more of a bother.

"...so cute when you beg," Synsia's voice cut through her quiet sobbing like a hot knife through butter.

Huh?

Aurelia stared down in confusion as Synsia continued to speak in her sleep.

"...make you squeal..." She continued mumbling.

She's having a dirty dream, huh?

Aurelia tried scowling down at her but soon broke into laughter.

What am I even doing... What am I doing?!

Her shaky, strained laughter echoed around the empty void. She couldn't help it, everything felt so absurd. She was up here crying while Synsia was dirty dreaming about who knows what.

Eventually, Synsia began to stir in her sleep.

Aurelia wiped her eyes one final time, about to apologize for waking her, but then she noticed Synsia's eyes were closed.

Is she still sleeping?

Synsia grumbled, smacking her lips. She slowly pushed herself up, taking Aurelia into her arms. With her massive tail, she slowly curled up on the floor, surrounding them both with it. Her tail coiled up, creating a makeshift bed and replacing the hard ground from underneath them.

At the same time, Aurelia gasped as Synsia suddenly embraced her. The Lamia wrapped two arms around her shoulders, pulling Aurelia's face into her chest. In the tight embrace, the tension slowly left Aurelia's shoulders. She buried her face deeper into Synsia's shoulder, squeezing the Lamia back.

Unable and unwilling to pull out of the embrace, Aurelia stayed like that for some time, waiting for Synsia to wake.

--- Day 84 ---

Aurelia awoke once more in Synsia's arms. As she opened her eyes, she felt Synsia's fingers push the hair from her face.

"Wakey wakey~" Synsia smiled.

Aurelia blinked slowly. "Did you stay up all night again?"

"No, I just happened to wake up before you," Synsia's smile softened a little.

Aurelia smiled back, but it slowly began to fade. All she managed was a small sad smile.

"Ah geez, I'll take any smile I can get." Synsia leaned down, planting a kiss on her cheek.

Aurelia shifted up, crawling into Synsia's arms. She didn't respond. Instead, she quietly let Synsia hold her, a silence filling the air as the embrace continued.

-

Eventually, Aurelia soaked up enough warmth and she felt like talking once more.

"Are we going back to the bed today?" Aurelia finally asked.

"Yeah, that sounds good," Synsia replied back.

Aurelia felt too tired to keep the conversation going. Instead, she hugged Synsia tighter, waiting for herself to build up enough energy for the trip back.

--- Day 85 ---

The next day, Aurelia woke up in their usual bed.

Synsia once more smiled down at her, rubbing her thumb over her cheek.

Once more, Aurelia smiled back, a silent sad smile. She didn't feel like doing anything, so she pulled the covers tighter, turning over onto her side.

Synsia silently crawled up behind her, hugging her with warmth.

Eventually, Aurelia found herself in a new rhythm. She would wake up, find Synsia smiling at her, and then drift in and out of naps all day. Through all of that, however, Synsia would stay close, keeping her warm with her body heat.

--- Day 87 ---

Aurelia lay across from Synsia, silently holding hands under the covers.

"So, what does the crest actually do anyways?" Aurelia finally asked. The pink crest still glowed on her belly. If she guessed what it did, she could be released early, but... She didn't care about any of that now.

"Oh, that," Synsia smiled. "It controls the bearer's orgasms."

"Orgasm?" Aurelia tilted her head at the unfamiliar word.

"It's when the pleasure reaches a peak, and your entire body explodes with pleasure, like vwaaaa!" Synsia raises her hands into an explosion, making sound effects with her mouth. "It's probably the best feeling you can have."

"What is that? Is that even real?" Aurelia laughed.

"You've had them, you know, before the crest was applied. Don't you remember how you would clench up around me when I came?"

Aurelia thought back to the day the crest was placed; it had been over two months in the past. Before it was placed, Synsia had been doing it in her rear. Aurelia did remember a strange tension that filled her body, how her muscles would reflexively tense up when Synsia came inside her.

"Now that you mention it, I do remember something like that..."

"It's funny, if you had removed the curse, you'd probably have figured it out immediately." Synsia laughed. "I even suggested for you to do just that, but you refused, haha."

Aurelia scowled, "What are you laughing at, that was just common sense. Of course you wouldn't remove something if you didn't know what it did."

But Synsia just kept laughing. She apparently found something about it

very

amusing.

-

Eventually, Synsia's laughter dried up and she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Anyways, the crest doesn't just prevent the orgasms, it stores them up. For every time it glowed, it now has another orgasm stored within it. So whenever you want one, let me know and I can release an orgasm."

"Want one? Release one? You mean you can trigger it on command..?" Aurelia tilted her head at the phrasing.

"Yep, I can give you one right now," Synsia's smile widened as she began to giggle. "Want one? I'll warn you, it might be pretty intense after being edged for so long..."

Aurelia tilted her head, still a bit confused, but Synsia's laughter made her heart beat a little quicker. "S-Sure," she eventually nodded.

"Alright, here it comes..." Synsia raised a hand, pressing two fingers together, then snapped.

"Oh..." Aurelia's insides reflexively clenched at the snap. Her thighs pressed together and her hips bucked. "OH."

The strange clenching only got stronger. Pleasure swelled inside her belly. The crest glowed, and the strange warmth she always felt with it was now a fire burning through her.

"OH!" The pleasure just kept getting stronger. Her already straining muscles protested as her hips pushed forward on their own. Her insides remained clenched; every muscle in her body tensed to the absolute limit. One second turned to two, then three and four as her entire body bucked.

"OH GODS!" Aurelia screamed at the top of her lungs as her insides unclenched, then reclenched, then unclenched again. All of a sudden, her hips spasmed up and down, her muscles contracting and releasing over and over. "OH GODS, OH FUCK, OH FUCK!!"

Her screams echoed around the void, throat growing hoarse as she continued yelling. The pleasure just kept swelling, growing larger and larger between her legs. Darkness ate away at her vision as she struggled to breathe. "Oh gods, it just feels so good..." She eventually cried out.

"Haha, I know, right? When you kept the crest on, I couldn't believe it," Synsia laughed from beside her.

Aurelia glanced at her, still spasming in the hips. Even as the pleasure began to fade, the intense waves rocked through her body. "H-Holy shit..." she whispered under her breath.

Synsia crawled over to her, kissing her forehead. "There's plenty more where that came from, so just let me know when you want another one."

"H-How many of those did you say there are?"

"Hm, I don't know the exact number, but at least a thousand or so I think."

Aurelia's eyes widened. Even as her sex still twitched from the last one, a shaky smile arose on her lips. "H-Hey... Maybe you could do it one more time? Right now?"

Synsia grinned, raising two fingers. "With pleasure," she whispered and snapped.

--- Day 89 ---

Two days later, Aurelia was still lying in bed with Synsia. They cuddled beneath the blankets while she giggled to herself.

"Again?" Aurelia whispered.

Synsia snapped her fingers, and a wave of pleasure erupted between her legs. Aurelia cried out, bucking her hips under the blankets. Her arousal stained the sheets, dripping down her thighs.

"Ahh," Aurelia sighed as the pleasure began to wane. Her spasming insides once more relaxed and she leaned back into a pillow. A quiet filled the space as she basked in the afterglow.

After a few moments, Aurelia smiled again and repeated the question. "Again?"

Once more, Synsia snapped her fingers and a burst of pleasure erupted from Aurelia's crotch.

She cried out, whining and squirming as she clenched her thighs together. Her breath caught as the now familiar pleasure enveloped her hips. The satisfying twitches made her curl her toes, eyes fluttering in euphoria.

Then, more silence filled the gaps as Aurelia basked in the afterglow once again. Synsia lay across from her, a soft smile on her lips.

Surely, she should have gotten bored of this by now,

Aurelia thought to herself. She had done little else besides sleep and ask Synsia to snap her fingers, yet she still wore a gentle smile.
