Ludmilla's Kingdom Part 9

>For once, a night in Ludmilla’s kingdom didn’t end in debauchery and sex with a dragoness close to Jennifer. She was almost glad that nothing occurred; it allowed her to recharge her batteries, as it were. She still slept next to Ellie, her queen sized bed feeling like bliss after spending the previous nights sleeping on the floor, on top of a fellow dragoness and on a therapy couch, respectfully. As she soundly slumbered with Dr. Sattler’s arm draped around her like a armrest, she dreamt of the dragoness she was due to encounter tomorrow. Her color scheme was similar to Anna’s but that is where the similarities ended between them. She thought that the new dragoness could also be a good method of getting people to join her kingdom....show off their physical strength and their physical beauty in one fell swoop.
>Seconds turned into minutes and minutes turned to hours until it was time to wake up. While Ellie was busy preparing coffee, Jennifer was in the restroom polishing up her appearance. She had to admit, she looked her best so far. Her hair was perfect, her horns were shined, her gap tooth was… “Wait. I don’t have a gap tooth!” Her reflection in the mirror winked at her and began to cackle: “Oh, but I do, babe!” With that, the reflection stepped out of the mirror as its hair changed to a wilder version of Jennifer’s hair and a tiara slid on its head. “ERIS!” Jennifer gasped. “That’s my name, don’t wear it out? So, how are you getting on? Feeling a little…frisky today?” The goddess of chaos teased as she shook her enormous rear seductively at her near-doppelganger. “Is that why you came here?” Eris simply flashed one of her Cheshire Cat grins in response, the gap tooth serving as the hole in her sanity and logic. Jennifer needed to answer her questions as soon as possible before Eris would lose her patience. And Jennifer didn't want to see what that would lead to.
>Jennifer's mind was racing over what exactly to say. Even for a dragoness, the idea of a chaos and mischief goddess suddenly appearing out of thin air just to taunt you was a rare and disturbing occasion. "Well..." Jennifer started, almost as nervious as she was when she first met Ludmilla, "If you must know, I'm doing quite well here, thank you. I've just became head of the media propaganda arm of Ludmilla and-" "Brilliant! Simply smashing!" Eris interrupted as she pulled out a party hat out of thin air and placed it on Jennifer's head. "I do hope you spread some nice words about me, darling. Being buddies with a chaos goddess could give you an excellent advantage." "What do you mean?" Jennifer asked, still not trusting the bottom heavy dragoness. Eris grinned evilly as her voice began dripping with sweetness.
>"Well, a dragoness like you certainly shouldn't be working for a numpty like Ludmilla and you're too good looking and drop dead sexy to be one of Maleficent's girls. I'm giving you a third option. We'll cause chaos, have some fun!" Here, Eris brandished her golden apple towards Jennifer "All you have to do is-"
>Here, her attempt at a salespitch was interrupted by Ellie entering that bathroom: "Hey, Jenny, if you need some more towels, I've got them all YOU! What are you doing here?!" Eris scowled at the interloper. "Just having a little girl talk. We'll discuss this later, Jen. Toodles!" Eris disappeared in a cloud of white smoke as Ellie ran over to Jennifer. "Jen, are you alright?!" Jennifer nodded in confirmation. "She was talking about me joining her." Now Ellie nodded back at her. "I know, I know. She gave me the same speech too. And from what I remember of her, she'll be back..."
>As they enjoyed a quiet breakfast, both Ellie and Jennifer tried their hardest to put what had just happened behind themselves for the time being. Eris had a knack of causing chaos and discord and it was clear that she had sent her attentions on Jennifer. "We'll have to keep an eye out on her for now...though, being that she has powers far beyond any other dragoness, I don't know if there's much we can do." Jennifer swallowed at this information. "Does she usually tempt others like this? Helen told me she just likes to mess with others for about 2 weeks and then moves on." "Yeah, sometimes. One of the good things about her, other than her lust, is that she has the attention span of a gnat. She might have forgotten all about you for the time being but she'll be back sooner or later." “What do you mean by ‘her lust’?” “Oh, you didn’t know? She always shows up for the…erotic meet-ups we hold every Thursday. Only reason we keep her around.” “Today’s Tuesday.” Jennifer noted. “Maybe she won’t show up that week?” On that note, Jennifer changed the subject, not wanting to think about that topic for now.
    >“So, tell me more about who we’re going to meet today?” “Chun-Li? Aw, she’s all right. She might be a little standoffish but she had quite a hard life before becoming one of us…makes you appreciate what you have. She’s rather nice once you get to know her. She lives a bit away from here...Maybe today isn’t a good day to meet her. She’s busy with some work so” Here, she was interrupted by a knock at the door. The pair turned to look at each other before Ellie opened the door. On the other side was Eris, dressed up as a post officer with her usual deranged look on her face.
    >“Hullo! I’m here to deliver a good opportunity to a Miss Jennifer.” Ellie rolled her eyes at this. “Get lost, Eris. We’re busy.” With that, the pink dragoness slammed the door shut. "I'll say this about her, she's persistant." Jennifer joked.

>Ellie reopened the door not more than a few seconds later and Eris was already gone, having left no trace of her appearance. Ellie then darted her head back and forth outside, trying to see if the dragoness chaos goddess was hiding anywhere or pulling some tricks. There was no one to be seen for the moment. Satisfied with this outcome, Ellie quickly shut the door before Eris could appear once again. She turned back to Jennifer with a relieved look on her face. “I think she’s gone. Maybe she got bored…” Jennifer piped in with some insight of her own: “Maybe it’s a sign that we better see Chun-Li today.” Ellie agreed with this line of logic as the pair went back to their breakfast, trying to put the incident behind them for the time being.
> “There’s something I don’t get about all this.” “Yeah, Eris is a headscratcher, to say the least.” “No, not Eris. About Chun-Li. If the majority of us are all dragonesses, why do we need a police force?” Ellie chuckled at this idea. “I know it seems silly, but there is a good reason. Someone’s got to keep the peace around here from other dragonesses…we’ve had some infiltrations in the past and Ludmilla decided that it’s the best way to keep them out of here.” “I see.” Jennifer said, though she didn’t. She figured it was best not to press the issue at this time, however and decided that it would be an interesting idea to meet up with another type of dragoness. Her mind then wandered to the possibility of more different types being out there and how it could benefit her idea of propaganda in the long run. It could be interesting to show off as many of them as possible; maybe in an advertisement? >She decided to persue these thoughts further when she had the time to meet more of them. Ellie opened the door slowly, hoping that Eris wouldn't suddenly pop up only to find her misssing. Sighing, the pink dragoness turned to Jennifer. "Coast is clear. Let's go."

>As Jennifer and Ellie made their way in the opposite direction, they attempted not to think about Eris for the time being but instead discussed the task at hand for today. Ellie figured it would be good for Jennifer to see just how law enforcement worked in Ludmilla's kingdom and this would be the perfect excuse to get her to see it. Jennifer in turn thought that it would be an excellent opportunity for her to learn more about the various types of dragonesses. Soon enough, they had arrived to the police station located in the outskirts of the city. The station was designed in a style that made Jennifer wonder who the architect for the kingdom was and, whoever or whatever they were, if they enjoyed making buildings as unique as possible. As they entered the station, Jennifer nearly gasped at sight of the desk officer.
>The officer was an orange dragoness. Large leathery wings sprouted out of her back while her face and body was slightly more reptilian than most. Her blue hair and cap served as a reminder that this dragoness was once a human. All this isn’t what made Jennifer gasp. It was that there was a flame sprouting from the very tip of her tail, it shimmered and blew in the air conditioned room as if there was nothing wrong. Ellie ignored this odd occurrence as she motioned Jennifer towards to a series of chairs bolted to the wall at the end of a room. As she followed her companion to the seats, she noticed the desk officer waved at a couple of identical dragonesses that had just exited a door. “Ellie…do we do cloning here or something?” Jennifer whispered, wondering if the kingdom was more scientifically advanced than she thought. Ellie giggled at this. “No, just that she has a lot of identical siblings. Believe me, none of us get it either but a lot of them wanted to join. Figured that this’d be the best use for them.” At this, the desk officer leaned over her desk to peer at the two newcomers.
>"What can I help you two with?" The officer asked in a kind and yet questioning tone. It was clear from her voice that she had a long history of working in her particular line of field. “We’re here to see Chun-Li?” Ellie asked softly, trying her best to sound respectful in front of the officer. “She’ll be here shortly. Can you tell me what this is about?” The officer questioned, her face softening at the knowledge that there was no crime to worry about for the time being. Jennifer looked around the room once more as she noticed that, while many of the officers were identical to the desk officer, there were some other unusual dragonesses there as well. She was just about to ask about Ellie about the police force when they were approached by a tall blonde dragoness. For a minute, Jennifer was convinced that this dragoness was Eris in yet another disguise, judging by the similar appearance. However, this fear was soon assuaged by her voice and mannerisms. She appeared nice enough but the newcomer dragoness had an air of mystery about her. “Hi. Sorry to keep you waiting, Chun-Li’s a little busy at the moment. Name’s Lily.” With this, she let out the tiniest of grins and shook Jennifer’s hand in an extremely light way. Jennifer stared at the newcomer, as if she was trying to piece together why they looked so similar. “Sorry. Just got turned a couple of weeks ago…trying to get the hang of it and all.” Lily explained as she misread Jennifer’s actions. “Oh no, it’s no trouble at all. I was turned about 4 days ago myself…it’s easy to get used to.” Lily smiled at this confirmation and then led them into the office.
>Jennifer was intrigued by Lily right away. Lily spoke little about her previous life, only that she came from the streets of Philly and that she used to work as a detective. Other than that, she was close-lipped about the subject and appeared to be more interested in Jennifer and Ellie’s lives than her own.
>Jennifer was slowly but surely getting impatient. She never had a knack of patience but it appears her turning gave her a feel of impulsiveness that she previously lacked in her human form. She tried to keep her cool by talking with Lily which almost would have worked if not for the fact that Lily was tight-lipped about seemingly everything. As she left the room to get some coffee, Ellie leaned in towards Jennifer: "I think she's got demons that not even the turning could solve." Jennifer nodded at this as they both turned to see the door turn. Instead of Lily, the pair was greeted by Chun-Li who stood in the doorway with a surprised expression on her face.
>"Jenny! Which one of you let these two in here without my permission?!" Ellie got up and walked towards the dragoness. While Ellie was busy profusely apologising, Jennifer’s eyes were fixated on the dragoness. She was different than the other dragonesses, her enlongated body giving her a more eastern approach. This design was offset by her gigantic ass and thighs which hung off her body as to be comical…they were so thick, they could possibly be used to smother a group of at least 10 humans underneath it. As she talked to Ellie, Jennifer tuned out her words to gaze at her adorable face...the deep brown eyes told volumes about her. The little buns on her head created a cute appearance that was countered by the muscular fisique on her legs. The remains of the traditional clothing on her served as a link to her former humanity. Overall, Jennifer immediately got the impression that Chun-Li was a tough abet caring figure. Just then, Jennifer was snapped out of her thoughts to see that Chun-Li was currently looking at her with a bemused look on her face. “Oh, sorry, it’s just that…I’ve never seen a dragoness like you before.” Chun-Li giggled at that, an action that was rare for her.
>Jennifer and Ellie had to admit to each other that Chun-LI was very charming. Her unique perspective on dragonesshood made her a very interesting person. "It's kind of a cultural thing for me. Of course, I jumped at the chance to become one. What woman wouldn’t?” She pulled out a manila folder from her drawer with various pictures located within it. She opened up the file and showed it to her compatriots who were surprised at their contents. Although Chun-Li looked just as beautiful as a human, she seemed better suited as a dragoness. Jennifer wondered if their turning was almost evolutionary: perhaps it would be best if more women were like this. “So, are you the only dragoness with your particular looks?” Jennifer asked, trying to word her sentence as carefully as she possibly could. Chun-Li stared for a few seconds before she realised what Jennifer was trying to say. “Oh, I get it. Yeah, there’s a few others…Ludmilla’s actually been talking about recruiting more from that area. Said something about how I could help out or something like that.” At this, one of the orange dragonesses entered the room slowly, looking at her superior as if she would vaporise her in an instant. “Lily says she needs you with something for a moment.” Chun-Li nodded at this. “If you two will excuse me for a moment. Ms. Rush isn’t adapting as well to our lifestyle as I had previously hoped.” With that, she left the room, leaving Ellie and Jennifer alone in her office. Jennifer immediately got up from her seat to peek at the other photos in the file. “What are you doing?!” Ellie asked in shock. “I’m a journalist, it’s in my nature.” Jennifer teased back as she looked through them. Most of them were of a human Chun-Li with various interesting people. "Is that a sumo wrestler?" Jennifer said as she held it up. This would be very useful for her goals of propaganda...
>Jennifer's snooping at the photos in the file was stopped only when she heard the sound of talking outside the door. It appeared as though Chun-Li and Lily were currently embroiled in an argument over something having to do with a case file...Jennifer quickly attempted to place the photos back in the file as neatily as possible, Ellie burying her head in her claws as she saw the mess that was going on. "Why did you do that..." she muttered. "Relax, everything's going to be fine." The reporter repled as she sat back down right next to Ellie, trying to look as composed as possible. Chun-Li then reentered the room, unaware of what had just occurred. "Sorry about that, just had a little problem with one of my officers." The asian dragoness apologised as she came in through the doorway and sat back down at her seat, Jennifer feeling more like a naughty schoolgirl than a dragoness due to her actions.
>The rest of the day had gone on remarkably uneventful, as Chun-Li instructed and told the pair how it was to be a dragoness in her field and how it has only improved her stance as the so-called "strongest woman in the world." Jennifer and Ellie had to chuckle at that as she left the station, deciding it was best to return back to Ellie's house for the time being. Jennifer was instructed by one of the Officer Jennys that she would begin her new position in propaganda in the next week...giving her enough time to prepare things for her new role. Now she was somewhat free for the evening, allowing her to spend time to relax with Ellie...and maybe even get to know her better than before.
>As the dragoness couple made it back to the house, Jennifer began feeling a sense of remorse about her. It wasn't usually within her nature to snoop around and nearly steal photos like that but there was something in her that made her do it....perhaps it was dragoness instinct. Regardless, it was something that she apologised profusely to Ellie about. "Relax, kid." Ellie responded. "You want to wind up like Rush back there? It's no big thing. Part of the fun of being a dragoness is that you get a chance to be a little bit more impulsive. Why else do you think that a lot of us are so sex-crazed or, in the case of a few of us, food-crazed? It's our first opportunity to truly let loose with all the things we've always wanted. Helen can explain it better." Jennifer nodded at this information as she was amazed at how much it helped her feel better about what she did as well as helping her understanding of being a dragoness.
>As the pair arrived to a new location, this time a small market much like the kind Jennifer would have seen in old pictures, she immediately began thinking about how she would go about her new propaganda routine the following week. >“I’ve only got a couple of days to help spread our image to the world.” Jennifer remarked to Ellie who was currently busy looking at what to get for dinner. “Yeah." The pink dragoness replied as she gazed at the prime cuts. “Got any ideas on how to help me out with it?” "We'll talk about that over supper, K?" Jennifer sighed and turned away from her companion to notice an interesting sight. There was a tall and yet heavyset dragoness with a truly enormous rear that was looking through several sweets and giggling. Jennifer noticed that she also was green with red hair but this one was different than both Frankie and Vicky...almost as if she was like someone's mother. Jennifer decided to approach her out of curiosity.
>"Excuse me." Jennifer asked as she leaned in to the mysterious dragoness. As a human, Jennifer barely had the confidence to even talk to a total stranger like this but things were different. She felt a sense of comradery towards her fellow dragonesses to the extent that she felt like she could approach any one at random and feel perfectly comfortable with talking to her about virtually her entire life. It was apparent that Jennifer’s turning had given her more confidence. It was now up to her how to use it…
> “Yes, dear?” the green dragoness asked and turned to Jennifer who was struck by her appearance. The dragoness had an air of maternity about her that would bring Helen to shame. Her red hair was neatly tied up in a bun, a sign that she was more mature than most of the other dragonesses. Her body shape was mostly slender with the exception of her rear, which ballooned out to a size that was the closest to Helen’s yet. Overall, the dragoness appeared to have a kindly and content face, with her plump facial structure looking slightly off on her reptilian features. Her voice had a knowing and warm feeling to it. “I just wanted to ask you something…would you mind helping me out?” Jennifer questioned as the dragoness put her claws on her enormous hips with an amused look on her face. Jennifer wondered how she was doing that as the dragoness replied: “Sorry, sweetie. Even though I’m a dragoness, I’m still happily married.” Jennifer nerviously chuckled at her initial reaction before correcting herself: “Oh no, not like that. My name’s Jennifer and I’m working in the propaganda section. I was wondering if you’d like to appear in a piece I’ve got an idea for…” At this the mysterious dragoness’s expression turned into one of thought before she nodded in approval. “I’ll do anything to help out the kingdom. Talk to you later!” And, as quickly as she appeared, the dragoness disappeared into the crowd of shoppers.
>Jennifer was quickly racing to her companion, slightly annoyed at the thought of her being left behind like that. This annoyance was quickly tempered by the fact that she had managed to convince a fellow dragoness to take part in her first propaganda piece. She was in awe at how she had managed to achieve that...perhaps she was an elemental all to her own- the element of persuasion. She laughed to herself at that as she managed to arrive next to Ellie.
>"So, what kept you?" the pink dragoness asked as she carried a small shopping bag in her claw. Jennifer noticed that the bag had a small cartoon drawing of a dragoness on it; bringing up questions of who drew it and if Ludmilla's society somehow got a hold of graphic designers. "Oh, nothing really. You are just looking at someone who managed to achieve one of her goals right now." Jennifer replied smugly. Ellie raised an eyebrow at this as Jennifer continued: "I talked to some dragoness in there; real motherly type. She says that she'll appear in my first piece." "Wow, which one?" Jennifer's pride was stopped momentarily at this as she realised she didn't even have the dragoness's name. "Um...she''s green with red hair. That describes a lot of dragonesses, actually. Uh...she's real maternal and she's got her hair in a bun and-" "I know who you mean." Ellie replied and nodded. "It's funny. She never told any of us her name. That's part of the deal she made with Ludmilla. Other part of the deal being that she got to bring her husband and kids with her. They're pleasant enough." Ellie explained as Jennifer thought about how the unknown dragoness managed to achieve those aims. They had finally arrived at Ellie's home once again and as she unlocked the door, Jennifer's mind was racing with ideas on how to begin her propaganda piece. She already had one good looking dragoness; now she just needed a few more...
>As the pair enjoyed yet another supper together, Jennifer was the one who took over the conversation for the evening. Ellie was content to sit back and relax for once as Jennifer began telling the pink dragoness her first, but certainly not last, propaganda scheme. "So, here's the idea. The scene opens on some footage of Ludmilla's kingdom: the castle, some of the nicest buildings. You get the idea. Anyway, we then cut to a voiceover as it talks about the country and its beauty…we’ll have to get someone for that. Maybe Ludmilla could convert one of those voice actresses…maybe we should start turning some Hollywood figures into dragonesses; they’re vain enough to take it. Damn it, I keep losing my train of thought! Where was I?” “I believe you were at the voiceover at the shots of our kingdom.” Ellie replied as she picked at her food. “Right, thanks. So anyway, we then do a long panning shot over several dragonesses- the one at the store, Chel, Frankie, maybe you if you’re not camera shy…tomorrow I think I’ll draw up a list.” Jennifer said as her brow furrowed in thought over who else to get for her idea. “Then, the voiceover talks all about the benefits of being a dragoness as we cut to a title card. ‘Wouldn’t you like to join us? Find out more soon’ What do you think?” Jennifer asked as she took a bite.
> “I thought you were going to start with news broadcasts.” Jennifer shook her head in denial of this idea. “No, can’t do that just yet. First we’ve got to get our foot in the door, so to speak. Best way of doing that is to show we mean no harm.” “Unlike Maleficent’s group.” “There you go.” Jennifer said as she took a sip of wine. She noticed that many dragonesses loved to partake in the pleasures of alcohol as well as sex. “We have to make the idea of being a dragoness as attractive as possible.”
>After their dinner, Ellie and Jennifer took a small table and reworked it into a temporary headquarters for Jennifer's ideas to come to life. She only had less than a week to come up with some ideas of her propaganda piece and she figured that it was best to get started on it as soon as she possibly could. "So, I figured we could start up by drawing up a script or a storyboard." Jennifer said as she grabbed a piece of paper, accidentally shredding it with her claws. "Whoops. Still have to get used to these..." she remarked to herself as she snatched up another way, taking care to delicately hold it this time. Ellie crowded over the table, watching as Jennifer drew crude lines, forming the paper into small rectangles. >"So, it starts with overhead shots, right?" Jennifer said as she drew a crude rendition of Ludmilla's castle that looked more like it belonged to a small child than an adult dragoness. "Damn! It's hard to draw when you've got completely different hands. Ah, forget it." Ellie giggled as she watched Jennifer continue to make rough sketches and doodles of her idea. Finally, she had finished her storyboard. Although it didn't look very professional, it managed to get the basic idea down. Just then, Ellie thought up of something: "How are we going to broadcast this to the world? We can't exactly buy airtime on TV channels on every corner of the globe..." she realised as Jennifer's face turned from a triumphant grin into a puzzled frown. "Hmm...no, we can't use the internet. I can't even imagine how they'd react. I think we could manage to sell our image to the world through television: I'd just have to reword it as a tourism ad." Ellie nodded as Jennifer continued her idea: "Once we get that set up, then we'll start pumping out the 'news'."
