Nymsya
Nymsya
Sounded three times through the corridors. Chanting of a group of three men on a quest for blood.
Nymsya. Fourth time. Her soul began to be sucked in. Just one more...
Nymsya. The final word. With a flash of light, she appeared. Two of them stood too close. She took their hearts. Before the third could react, she was digging into them with her teeth.
"Nymsya!" he began, and she raised her head. A gulp could be heard as she finished a bite. "You have been summoned, but you shall remain bound! If you kill the third gatekeeper, your soul will be forever bound to this room and you will not depart into this world, or go back into yours!" he finished, trying to keep his voice steady. He did not expect his colleagues to die so quickly. His heart raced. But he kept staring into those dead red eyes of hers.
She dropped the heart. She took a stride towards him. As her form left the pentagram drawn on the ground her shape became more intact and clothes began to form around her.
"I...you are not supposed to be able to do that!" the man exclaimed "Go...go back to the center!" he shouted in sheer panic as he backed off.
She reached out towards him and grabbed onto a key hanging off his neck. As she touched it, her transport has finished. The air got a little bit rusty and suddenly there was a whiff of sulfur in it.
"You put too much beliefs in your books" she said and licked her lips. She looked around. "Where are we? Why did you summon me?" she asked. She was garbed in a long black dress that ended above her bust. Her arms were covered in a pair of evening gloves running all the way to her shoulders. Her eyes shone red and her hair was raven and as long as her dress. Her skin as pale as the chalk used to draw the pentagram. Her neck was accessoried by a collar with a lock on it.
"We...I summoned you to do my bidding, foul demon" the man staggered out, managing to breathe a little bit more this time around "I would ask...I order you to assassinate the prince and his bride to be before their wedding in three weeks." he said when he saw she expected more.
Nymsya let go of the key "Child's play" she said. She turned around, found the dropped hearts and started munching on them. When she was done, he was waiting by the door.
~~~
When traversing the castle and the courtyard, she took upon a more human form. Her hair shortened, and her eyes didn't glow as much. The lock on her neck transformed into a beautiful pendant featuring a demon eye.
She has spent several days just walking around. A lot of life was happening in the castle. Lots of people coming to prepare for the wedding, lots of traders, workers, craftsmen, soldiers. Usually their entry was controlled at the gates by the guards, but one look at Nymsya and they usually let her pass. Sometimes they would stop her, but a lean forward and a hand on a cheek would allow her passage.
She watched the prince and his bride to be. He was a young blonde knight, quite noble and always with an escort of at least two soldiers. She overheard that he has survived a previous attempt at his life, killed an assassin in his bedroom during the night. But he was going to be the lesser problem.
The bride to be was a witch's daughter. While a knight with a sword would be dangerous, a magician could actually prevent her own charms from working and even banish her. Her hair was brown and straight, quite unusual for the women around. But then she was from a faraway land, name of which Nymsya overheard and forgotten. She could never remember names of the human lands.
One evening, a court dinner was happening, intended to bring the families closer together. Nobody else but the royal family and closest relatives, plus the bride's extended family was supposed to be present. But Nymsya made it work. Everybody thought she was somewhat related to somebody for sure and nobody questioned her. She even managed to grab a chair not too far off from the core of the evening. She was seated next to a little cutey of a girl with ginger hair.
Soon after being seated, the key family members started pouring in. The prince wore a embroidered linen shirt. His future wife was more creative. Her hair was woven into a long braid going over her shoulder and leading all sights into her deep cleavage line. Even Nymsya had to fight to take eyes off that prize.
To her surprise, the bride's steps lead towards her. But at the last moment, she stopped and hugged closely with the much simpler looking ginger girl. Listening in on their conversation she figured out that the two were close. Likely the ginger girl was in the bride's employ, but they were still closer than just mistress and her servant.
While they talked, Nymsya locked sight with the bride to be for a second but decided not to even attempt to use her charming magic, just in case she was sensitive to magic. Tonight, she would have to use more natural approaches.
A clang sounded, and the bride looked towards the king who was obviously waiting for her. She nodded and gave the ginger girl one more hug before leaving. The succubus got a good look down her cleavage as she was departing. She also noticed that the bride noticed, and a frail smile appeared on her lips.
As the evening progressed, Nymsya started talking with the ginger girl. Amy was her name.
~~
Amy was surprised she was invited to the dinner. She was a lowly maid in services of the bride's family. She did have some personal ties to her, but she was still a very lowly servant. She was informed that this would be one of the events, but she would be only invited to this one. Apparently, the goal was for the servants to get accustomed to the new family ties as they might be moved over as well with the wedding.
She was seated next to a prettiest woman she has ever seen and from first moment she had butterflies in her stomach. To her luck, the lovely lady started talking to her on her own.
"How did you two meet?" the woman asked of her.
Amy's face went bright red at the question, but she felt unusually comfortable.
