The life of a traveling knight was taking its toll on you
You had left the oasis city to fulfill a quest given to you by the Pharaoh herself
You eventually find yourself stranded in the middle of the desert after searching for days, leaving your supplies exhausted
Now that you're alone in the desert, with no food and no water, you're sure you are going to die out here as your eyes close one last time
Until you wake up in a dark, dank ruins, lying in what looks like a stone prison cell
And an Apophis standing on the other side of the bars
She introduces herself as Sharya tells you that she will let you regain your strength
As she plans to turn you into her most powerful slave and begin her raid on the Pharaoh's kingdom by sunrise
So this is who the Pharaoh wanted me to look for, you think to yourself
Curious as to your choice of attire, she asks if you are indeed a knight
You nod a reply to her
Intrigued, she asks you about life outside of the desert
You decide to tell her a bit about your life in cities where buildings pierce the clouds, some where kings were born, and in others where gods are celebrated daily
In the midst of one of your many stories, the Apophis gets sleepy, retiring to her chambers
She orders you to finish your story in the morning, before she transforms you into her loyal slave
As she leaves you alone for the night, you realize you are going to have to outsmart the young serpent tomorrow if you plan on keeping your lifeThe next morning, you wake up to the feeling of being softly patted by the end of a large whip
You turn around and see the Apophis resting on her mostly-coiled tail in front of your cell
”Hey. You awake yet?” She asks you.
You drowsily pick yourself up from off the stone floor, sitting yourself upright
”You’re going to finish that story for me, right?”
Still groggy from your rude awakening, you try to recall where you left off, continuing with your tale wherein you escaped from the lair of a deadly Ushi-Oni
You managed to outsmart the demon by making a decoy with the clothes on your back and some pig flesh that she had been keeping in her cave
You laugh as you tell Sharya that Ushi-Oni’s are willing to fuck anything with a bit of meat jutting from its crotch
She laughs with you as well
But, as your story comes to a close, she reminds you of her plans to deal with you as she prepares her fangs
“So you plan on making me your slave too, eh?” You ask her with a pout. “You know, I was a servant boy to a monster girl once before. To an Oni, no less.”
She hesitates for a moment, once again out of curiosity
”Oh really?” she wonders. “Tell me about this Oni master of yours.”
She again rests on the coils of her tail, allowing you to tell your story of your brutal Oni masterYou recount how the Oni was a hedonistic tyrant who made you and your mates grab the finest wine and sake from the labyrinth that was her wine cellar every night
This labyrinth was fraught with bats and wolves that took refuge inside
Those who weren’t strong enough to defend themselves were brutally killed by the monsters
And those who came back empty-handed were brutally killed by your master
The only way you and your mates could survive was to learn how to fight
But you also developed another skill to help you survive
You tell the serpent all of these things about your master, about her habits, and about your life under her oppressive foot until she asks you how you escaped
One day, you passed by a merchant, trying to sell off a “magical gourd” that the owner could drink from indefinitely
At first thought, you knew it was a sham or some trick he had to be playing
But then you realized: what if you could use it on your master?
After buying the gourd with what little savings you had, and convincing the merchant to show you how it works, you returned back to the castleYour mistress angrily demanded to know here you’ve been all day
You told her that you bought a magic gourd from a foreign merchant
You quickly caught her attention as you tell her that she will be able to drink from it endlessly
”Give it to me! Give it to me now!” Your master ordered
“First,” you told her, “I want to make a deal with you. You give me my freedom for the gourd.”
The Oni leaned down to you, staring intently at you as she asked
”Why shouldn’t I just kill you and take it from you, little one?”
Shit! You didn’t think she would say that. Why didn’t you think she would say that?
You had to think of something quick.
“Because,” you replied, “I hid the gourd somewhere.”
If she knew it was in the sac on your shoulder, she’d murder you right where you stood
“And if you kill me now, you will never be able to find it.”
Leaning in closer, your master gets another good look at you, staring into your eyes with suspicion
”You’re too smart for your own good, kid.”
She backs off, sparing you a painful death
”I will grant you your freedom for this artifact...on one condition: You must bring me my bottle of Gold Rice Sake, the finest sake in my collection, from within the labyrinth.”
You’ve been in that labyrinth more times than you care to mention. The task should be easy enough.
”Do this, and I will give you the freedom you crave.”
With her words in mind, you ventured into the labyrinth one last time
“But,” you tell the Apophis, “I’ll tell you the rest of the story some other time”
With a yawn, you tell her that it’s getting late once again, and that you are much too tired to continue with your tale
She rises from her coiled seat with a frustrated sigh
”You WILL finish your tale tomorrow morning, peon.” She commands, visibly fed up you’re your “Understood?”
“Understood…” you respond in a sober manner
You know you have to be cautious with this girl now
As long as you had more tales to tell, you just might be able to keep prolonging your fate
But how long would it last, you wonder...The next morning, you find Sharya once again standing in front of the bars of your cell
She is holding something in her tail, which you soon realize to be your tool sack
In her hand, she holds a small, golden key adorned with a ruby on its handle
Sadly, it belonged to me, not my cell door
”So, this key...” she begins
”You planned on using this to escape, didn’t you?”
“Escape?” you inquire with a laugh. “Don’t you think I would have done that by now if I could?”
“No, no. That key is special keepsake of mine from a group of villagers.”
”Why would they give you a key that doesn’t go to anything?” she asked, examining the key with disappointment
“I’ll tell you once I finish my story. How does that sound?”
Slightly annoyed, she allows you to continue
”Fine,” she says, making a shooing gesture at you. “Proceed with your story, Mr. Knight.”
The stinging condescension with which she said “Mr. Knight,” gets to you
But nonetheless, you pick up where you left off the night beforeConquering the labyrinth depths once again, you retrieve the bottle of Gold Rice Sake from inside the deepest chamber within the labyrinth after what feels like hours
Removing the bottle of sake from the chamber, you traverse the elaborate maze back you the start, relying on your memory to get you back to where you came
Returning to your master, you present the sake to her
”You’ve done well in bringing this to me, boy,” she says as she takes the bottle from you
”In exchange for this bottle, I shall give you your freedom. You shall never have to work another day within these walls again.”
She slams the bottle down on the arm of her grand chair as she demands
”Now, tell me where you’ve hidden the gourd!”
“I have hidden it deep inside of the labyrinth,” you tell her. “If you look hard enough, it shouldn’t be hard to find.”
Her valuable find only a step away, she gives a wide grin, her jagged teeth at full attention, and her red eyes aglow
”I suppose I could kill a couple of those beasts on my way there to stave off my excitement,” the Oni says, beginning to leave for the labyrinth
”Tonight, I’ll feast like a queen, and drink until morning! All I need is my gourd!”
With that, she hurries back inside of the labyrinth
You did indeed leave the gourd within that massive wine cellar
But you made sure to leave it in the room where you found the Gold Rice Sake—in the deepest parts of the maze
After all of these years of going back and forth within the maze, you’ve been able to navigate it easily
Your master, on the other hand, has never set foot inside for all of the years you’ve been under her servitude
You were sure that she would never find the gourd—let alone come back out from her wine cellar
And so, you rummaged through your master’s belongings, searching for as many valuables as you could pawn off, or otherwise use to your benefit
Before leaving your master’s mansion, not stopping for a second to look back.
To this day, you hear rumors from neighboring cities of an old mansion, in which one can hear the muffled sound of screams of anger if one listens closely in the throne room
But you try not to dwell on those rumors. The thought that she might still be alive in that dungeon only served to creep you out”Is she really still there? Even now?” Sharya asks, her face filled with worry
“I don’t know,” you reply, “But I certainly don’t care to find out, that’s for sure.”
”I wouldn’t want to meet her in this life. She must be furious.”
Her focus drifting towards the key in her hand, she curiously asks,
”So, where exactly did this key come from, anyway?”
“Oh, that key? It’s a key that opens the door to a windmill that resided in a distant village, far away from here.”
”Why would a windmill need a key to get in?” Sharya wonders in disbelief
“A ghoul hid her heart within the well inside.”
”A…ghoul?” Sharya says, busy trying to process exactly what you meant by your words
”Why would a ghoul hide her…heart? In a well? And how can a ghoul live without her heart anyway?”
“Well,” you begin to tell her, “She used to be a human girl, who fell in love with a human man, much like myself.”
The smile that slowly cracked on your face begins to find as you continue to say,
“But, he didn’t love her...at least, not in quite the same way.”
“One day, he and his friends took advantage of her, murdering her once they were through.”
You hear the lamia gasp as you tell her
“Despite her grief and sadness, she wished more than anything to continue living, even willing to give up her broken heart to do it. That was her final wish before she died.”
You continue to tell her that a lich revived the girl, but in exchange, her heart was removed from her body, making her reborn as an undead ghoul
You explain to Sharya that the lich told her that, in order to keep her immortality, she would have to eat the hearts of the living
“So she did,” you say to her
“She got her revenge on the men who wronged her. The problem is, she didn’t stop there. She couldn’t help but kill more and more victims, eating their hearts in the process.”
You tell her that every month, she would go down to the village and eat as many unfortunate souls as she could find
That’s when you had the misfortune of coming into town, just when they needed a hero to solve their problem
As you go on and on about the Ghoul who hid her heart, you notice Sharya beginning to yawn and nod off
“It seems like you’re getting tired again,” you tell her with a laugh. “Should I continue in the morning?”
”N-No, I…I’m fine. Keep going, I want...tell me more,” she says, her eyes half-shut as she makes herself comfortable on her own coils
With her insisting that you continue, you tell as much of the story as you can until about the seventh time she nods off
At which point she is completely knocked out, lying chest down on her own coiled tail
And so, you decide to call it a night yourself, smiling as you admire her sleeping form before falling asleep yourselfCome morning time, you wake up to her whipping you with her tail
With one strike, she yells, “Wake up!”
You rub the spot where her tail lashed at you, wincing in pain
”You fell asleep while you were telling the story.”
“Isn’t it the other way around,” you ask her
”Continue, Knight,” she commands. “I wish to hear the end of this tale.”
Complying with her command, you start back from where she first started nodding off
Back where you began telling her how the villagers asked you to slay the ghoul terrorizing the village
You were traveling with a few other mercenaries at that point, and wandered into the village looking for a place to stay
At the time, you hadn’t been told about how dangerous she truly was, and accepted quickly
Come to think of it, the price of killing one ghoul usually isn’t worth five pouches full of gold
You probably should have put two and two together realizing that
”But then again, that’s why you’re here, isn’t it,” Sharya interrupts
“Yes...I suppose it is,” you reply bitterly
They told you that the ghoul resided in an abandoned castle perched on top of the hill overlooking the village
Inside, they said, was a young man about your age at the time, who had been taken by the ghoul, and was never seen by the villagers again
If at all possible, they wanted you to find him, and see whether or not he was really dead or alive
With your instructions in mind, you began your trip to the ghoul’s castle, in search of the young man, and the ghoul herselfExploring the castle proved to be easier than expected
There were no feral monsters to contend with at all
In fact, the castle seemed rather safe
Or at least, you would say that, but the truth was it didn’t feel safe at all
Mostly because it just felt too easy
Even surrounded by four other mercenaries, you felt uneasy
She had to be around somewhere, you thought
And just as you began to question where, you heard a creaking noise from the ceiling support beams above
”What was that?” one of the mercs yelled
”Look! Up there!”
Looking up, you saw a shadow drop from the ceiling
As the shadow falls towards you, you see a row of grinning white teeth and glowing red eyes
The shadow cut through the man’s chest as she landed effortlessly, causing the man’s blood to spray outward
You realized the figure’s identity as it stood up straight. It was the ghoul you had been searching forShe took her hand, soaked in the blood of your fallen partner, and licked the blood from it
Almost instantly, she was sent into an orgasmic state of pleasure
”M-MAGNIFIQUE!” She cried out, falling to her knees as she continued to drink the rest of the blood from his corpse
Another of your comrades took this as his cue to finish her. With his blade ready, he ran to the ghoul, ready to cut her down
Just as he swung his sword, she grabbed him by his throat
”Do...not...” she mumbled. “Do not interrupt my meal, you swine!”
She took her hand, stabbing him in the chest with it in one motion, pulling out his heart in another
You and your men could only watch in horror as your two partners lay dead, while that wretched abomination sat there, greedily eating both of their hearts
After she finished, she stood up. You readied your swords as the three of you prepared for...whatever she was planning
”Hehehehe…HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You really think your swords will protect you? How cute.”
”Fine then. You three can be…my dessert,” she said, before licking the rest of the blood off her hands, bearing her sharp nails at us
”Bon appétit~.”The ghoul charged at you, ruthlessly trying to cut you and your comrades down with every strike
This girl was amazingly fast, jumping along the walls and over your heads to try and confuse you
If it weren’t for your partners, you would’ve certainly died a grizzly death in this place
Or so you thought, until the Ghoul kicked the both of them away, leaving nothing standing between you and her
”I really wish you wouldn’t put up a fight like that. I hate having to work for my food.”
Sheer horror struck you as she grinned at you, showing you her shark-like teeth
But behind her, you see your friend running to you, his sword ready to stab her
Just as she opened her jaws, you pulled your knife from your belt, stabbing her in her throat
She let go of you just long enough for you to get out of your partner’s way, allowing him to stab her with his sword
All the way through her belly
The monster lay struggling as she clutched the blade pierced through her body
She slowly pulled the knife from her throat, but all it did was serve to hasten her death
’Good riddance,’ was all you had to say for the beast
Grabbing your sword and knife off the ground, you continue to the top of the castle, to find the missing boyUpon reaching the Ghoul’s chambers, you found a young man resting in the room
The fact that this boy wasn’t in a cage or in any way restrained baffled you
But nonetheless, you nudged the boy awake
”Hey. Wake up, boy!”
He sat up, initially alarmed at the idea of waking up to an intruder
But you reassured him as you tell him, “We’re getting you out of here.”
”You...You’re here to save me?”
“Wouldn’t be here for anything else, that’s for sure. Let’s move.”
The young man nodded to you in compliance as he followed you and your partners out of the chamber
He introduced himself as Heinrich, and told you that he was indeed imprisoned by the ghoul
As the four of you begin to find your way back out of the castle, you asked him,
“So, you weren’t restrained or anything. Why haven’t you tried to escape on your own?”
”I would have, but...I’m not very strong. I can’t run too long without catching my breath.”
Looking at him, you could tell that he was a rather scrawny young man
The golden key around his neck was probably thicker than his fingers
A runt if you ever saw one
”She told me that she would kill me if I tried. Or at least, that’s what she said at first.”
Why hasn’t she killed him already?
”Besides...I think I’ve come to...”
He paused
“Come to, what?”
He looked at you hesitantly before replying with a “N-Never mind.”
“Anyway, the monster is dead. We made sure of it. You won’t have to worry about her anymore.”
Heinrich’s eyes darted to you as you said it
”Y-You killed her? How?”
You chuckled a bit as you answered
“With a sword, the same way you kill anything else, lad.”
”Oh dear...this isn’t good,” the boy mumbled.
The grabbed you by the arm before hastily leading the rest of you toward the exit
”We have to get out of here. Now.”
”Hey, lad, what’s the big deal,” one of your mates wondered
The boy turned to you, still leading you out, as he said, “If you only stabbed her, she’s not dead.”
Almost on cue, you hear a gritty voice coming from one of the corners of the room you entered
”You...You think this...is over?”
You were in the same room where you killed the ghoul
And there she was, slowly struggling to get back up
She grabbed a hold of the blade that was stuck in her stomach, and began pulling it out
Slowly...very slowly did she pull the sword out from her body
All the while letting out the most agonizing, blood-curdling scream you could’ve imagined
Her screams didn’t stop until the blade finally dropped from out of her gaping wound
At least, it should’ve been gaping
But her wound was healing. At such an incredible rate, too.
That’s when you realized—this girl wasn’t just undead. She was immortal.
She stood back up, looking at you and your crew with nothing but murder in her eyes
”I’m going...to kill you.”That look of murderous intent, as well as the fact that her abilities far outmatched your own easily led you to one conclusion
You had no other choice—your only chance at survival was to run
As you and your mates ran for your lives, you made sure not to let go of Heinrich
For as fast as you were running, it was still no match for the ghoul
Your armed friends readied their swords once again
”You go on ahead, take the boy,” one said. “I’ll stay here. Go!”
You hesitantly took a few steps back as you watched your partner hold back the Ghoul
But you were not going to waste the chance they gave you
You took Heinrich and hurried out of the castle
Only moments before running through the threshold of the entrance could you hear the painful screams of your companions, presumably being rent asunder by that monster
You weren’t quite sure where the two of you were going from here, but staying there was certainly out of the question
As you both flee, you confront Heinrich, asking
“Care to explain just what the hell happened back there?”
”It’s like I said,” he answered. “Rose can’t die from injuries like that.”
Rose?
That boy knew her name?
“You knew she couldn’t be killed?” you asked, more importantly
”Y-Yes. She told me herself.”
You stopped for a moment, having reached a good distance where that demon might not catch you soon enough
You turned to Heinrich and asked him, directly,
“What else did she tell you?”
“You know how to kill her, don’t you?”
You knew that he did, but he seemed hesitant about telling you
”Th-That’s...”
“She told you her name, she told you she can’t die...She’s been keeping you hostage in that castle rather than eating you alive like every other person dumb enough to get in her way, she had to have told you what her weakness is. Tell me.”
”I...” He hesitated for a moment, but he understood the gravity of the situation
If she wasn’t stopped, she would kill everyone in the village sooner or later
He pointed out to the distance in the direction you were headed, at a windmill that sat alone in the valley you were running through
”That windmill over there. Inside, somewhere, there is a well holding a still-beating heart in it.”
”If you destroy it...you’ll...” he didn’t want to say it, almost as though he was against the idea
”You’ll...kill her.”
”Lead the way, Heinrich. We’ve got to find this heart.”
You wasted no time in hurrying to the door of the windmill
Reaching the door, however, you look back where you came to see the Ghoul hot on your trail
”She’s coming,” Heinrich said. He took the necklace holding the golden key off from around his neck, giving it to you
”Open the door, and lock yourself inside. The well...is inside.”
You took the key, unlocking the door and hurrying inside
You lock the door behind you as you were told
You weren't sure how well a locked door would hold against that demon
At this point, it was more for comfort than anything
Right now, you had to focus on finding the heartJust as Heinrich said, there was a well inside, just in the back of the windmill
But it was filled completely with water--and not a trace of the heart in sight
There was, however, a rope in the water attached to a crank
Perhaps there was a bucket at the bottom of the well
If you could just get it out of the well that way, then maybe...
You thought no further. You had to hurry before she arrived
With all your might, you turned the rusted crank round and around, slowly lifting the rope from the water, inch by inch
You feel like you're making progress until
CHNK
Of course
The crank got stuck
It's so rusted that it was now stuck in place
And what better time for this to happen than for the Ghoul to arrive, banging on the door
There was only one thing left you could do
You had to pull the bucket out by hand"Rose, please stop this. You can't so this anymore."
"Shut up! YOU! I'LL CHEW ON YOUR BONES, YOU CUR!"
'Hurry up, Hurry up!' you thought to yourself as you kept pulling the rope further out of the well
The banging on the door only served to hasten your pace, as well as your heartbeat
Your own heart skipped a beat as you heard a terrifying crunch come from the door
Wooden pieces from the door were splintering and breaking apart
She definitely intended to break the door down
”Rose, STOP! You have to—“
”I’m not going to die! Not yet! RAAAGH!!”
With a terrifying yell, she pounded the door down, sending small bits of wood popping from the door as it fell
And with one final tug, you managed to lift the bucket out from the well before toppling over
And so, there you were, on the ground, with nothing standing in the way between you and the blood-stained Ghoul
But at your side lay the bucket you pulled out, and out from it rolled the Ghoul’s beating heart
After breaking the door down, she pounces at you
You quickly reach for the heart, clutching it in your hand
”Ugh!”
Suddenly, the Ghoul breaks her stride, falling onto the cold ground as she clutched her chest
Squeezing the heart in your hand must have caused her some harm, you thought
”You...You found my...”
You squeezed on the heart even harder
”Guaaah!”
She grimaced again, doubling over from the pain
Clutching her chest, she began vomiting blood as she panted weakly”N-...No...”
“No?” you replied
“You...you killed my comrades. Terrorized this village for who knows how long...and now you want me to spare your life?”
She let out a painful scream as you gripped her heart even tighter than before
”F...ine...go ahead. Do it...” she said, panting a and sweating heavily from the pain
”K-...Kill me, then.”
Small tears formed in the corner of her eyes. You weren’t sure if it was from you choking the life out of her, or if it was from the sheer horror of the situation she found herself in
Either way, you didn’t care. This creature had to be destroyed
“With pleasure,” you said, gripping the heart again, one last time
”Wait!” you heard Heinrich say, as he hurried to the monster’s side
“What are you doing, boy? Get away from her. I’m going to—“
”Please, sir, please spare her.”
“What!?”
The very idea that this boy would rush to the aid of this monster was beyond you
”I know, it’s crazy to say it. I know she’s killed people, but...but...please, she was a human too, once.”
“A...human?”
Heinrich told you a bit about her untimely death as a human, and her deal she made with a Lich in exchange for her borrowed time
What Heinrich told you began to convince you that maybe, just maybe, she didn’t deserve to die
At least, not as much as you had previously thought
You kneeled down to the doubled over ghoul, stretching out your hand to her face, still holding her heart, and you told her,
“Eat it.””Wh-…What...?”
“That’s right. Eat it.”
This girl had eaten the hearts of too many people for you to count, or so you heard
It was time that she paid her dues
And she would pay for her crimes by eating her own heart
If she somehow lived, you would let her go, and leave the village
If she died, however...
The ghoul slowly reached out for the heart in your hand
You responded by digging your thumb in the heart, causing her to wince in pain
“With your mouth...If you so much as twitch your hands again, I’ll split your heart in two.”
You were the one making the deal with her, but you had to be sure she wouldn’t try anything funny
She did as you told her, and opened her mouth, taking the heart in her mouth
No longer holding her heart in your hand, you took your knife from your belt, pointing it at her cheeks
“Swallow it,” you told her
If she tried spitting it out, you were ready to stab her heart while it lay in her mouth, killing her
She knew she had no other option. Realizing her hopeless situation, she finally swallowed her heart whole
In that instant, she began choking, coughing as she doubled over again
She was not choking on her heart, as she had managed to gulp it down
Something was happening to her, however, that made her choke
You realize this as you watch her slowly transformAs she struggles, holding her throat in her hands, you start to notice that her hands are becoming less sharp, her nails duller than before
Same for her legs, beginning to take on a less beastly shape
Her clenched teeth begin to look more human as well
But the biggest change was easily her silver, stringy hair slowly becoming silky and black
Her scream reaching a crescendo, she stopped, collapsing in Heinrich’s arms
Her eyes looked empty when she fainted, but...
She was still breathing
“She’s still alive, hm?”
You turn away from the two, Heinrich holding Rose in his arms
If she was alive, it is probably by fate that you let her live today
So you tell yourself
“Listen, boy,” you tell Heinrich, “Take her, and leave the village. Wherever you two go...take care of her.”
”Leave?”
“Yes. I’ve forgiven her today, but she has still killed many people. There’s no getting around it.”
You turn back to him
”If I see her again...I will kill her next time.”
Heinrich nodded. He understood the weight of your words, clear as day
As Heinrich carried her out of the windmill, he stopped for a moment
”You know, that key that I gave you...you can keep it.”
You glance at the key at your feet, then back at the smiling Heinrich
”It’s my thanks...for sparing her.”
That was the last time you saw either of them
Somewhere, if you really admit it to yourself, you secretly hope that that girl was able to live a better life this time”You let her live?” Sharya asks you, incredulously
“Yes. I did,” you answer
”If it were me, I would’ve killed her. Whether he loved her or not.”
There is some seriousness behind her words, but...
“I...am not sure why I let her go. I guess, at the time, I thought...”
You tilt your head, trying to fish out the right words to convey to her
“Some people just deserve a second chance at life, I suppose
The way her eyes look at you as you say it, you can tell something has triggered in the apophis
”A second chance, huh?”
Sharya stood up, unraveling her coils as she rose above you
”Well, I appreciated your story, Sir Knight. So, tomorrow, I’ll share with you a story of my own.”
You let out a small smile as she says so
“Well, I’d welcome it greatly. Sure.”
”And then, when I’m finished, I will turn you into my slave.”
Wait. What?
So she finally saw through you, didn’t she?
Of course, you expected it to wear thin eventually
But you certainly didn’t expect her to be so blunt
You have no reply for what she just told you
But you know the game was up. There is no getting around your fate this time
She bows to you with a serious look on her face, and says
”Farewell...Sir Knight.”
She then slithers back to her chamber, leaving you to your thoughts for the rest of the night.
You weren’t sure how you planned to escape her now
But, damn it, you had to think of something
Anything...
