Patient Room, Temple of Gorphat
More of a cell than a room, this stone chamber features drains in the floor and in the stone examination table-slash-altar in the center. There are plenty of the green glow-light bottles to illuminate the place, with a cluster of them hanging right over the table.

There's a Thing in the corner. It's a got barrel-shaped body that seems to be made of pleated warty leather, and inflates and deflates regularly. Below that is a mass of.. tubes. Some are short and wide and some long and tentacle-like, but they all end wet pink orifices that open and close out of sequence with each other. From the top of the Thing is another cluster of thin tubes, which wave around constantly. Several thick stalks emerge from this mass, festooned with bizarre sensory organs that look like trumpet clusters or glittering crystal eggs or feathery antennae. The thickest tube has teeth.

"What do you think?" Kaira whispers into Nicora's head, after helping her to produce the thing. For a spirit creature, it certainly stinks, and makes far too many squelchy and flatulent sounds. "It's from a really weird world of intelligent fungi and trees made of meat. I figured a shoggoth would like it better than an Eeee body." Soldano has pressed himself back into the opposite corner, as far from the Thing as possible.

"You are a very, very, disturbed individual. I often wonder if I've exceeded your oddness, and then you go and prove me wrong. You the dragon," Nicora thinks rather dryly. To Soldano she now has to explain, "Well, the goal is for what is in you to infect this thing. It's a lot more, er, squelchy than you are. It might work. You just have to get closer..."

"Closer?" Soldano repeats squeakily. "It's got teeth on its eyes! You expect me to.. er.. bleed on it?"

"Or make love to it. I'm squelchy in that way you and you don't mind," Nicora notes. "What does this thing eat?" she asks Kaira.

"Ummm.. gamma rays and brain-worms mostly. I don't know why it has teeth still," Kaira admits. "Just have the captain strip naked and let it swallow him. It shouldn't hurt him too much, and then once it's sucked out the shoggoth or not, you can reabsorb it."

"I have to let it eat the only male who will bed me and help satisfy my needs?" Nicora thinks, aghast.

"Well, it won't really be eating him, just.. swallowing I guess. And poking him with stomach-teeth. He's got to bleed, after all," Kaira notes. "Unless you think something more vampiric in nature would be more suitable?"

"And why do I feel excited when I think about infections?" Nicora things grumpily.

"Well, that is the reason for using a spirit-creature surrogate," the dragon-spell points out. "I meant for a vampire creature that didn't have to swallow the patient whole. Just one that isn't too intelligent."

"Right, well, lets see if I can get him to do this," Nicora thinks. she slinks over to Soldano and puts his hands on his chest. "Do you trust me, lover?" she purrs at him; up close her musky scent is rather noticeable.

"I.. have to, don't I?" Soldano asks. "However, in my experience, whenever someone says that it means something scary is about to follow.."

"But have I ever really hurt you?" Nicora asks him as her fingertips play on his chest. "You will have to trust me, and I will do whatever you wish once this is done," she offers. "You will need to strip naked, then go over to that creature and allow it to swallow you whole. It will be ... uncomfortable, but it should hopefully take only a small bit of time before the creature inside you transfers. Once that is done, it will be dismissed and I can treat any small wounds you may have."

"You want me to allow myself to be eaten alive by that monster?" Soldano squeaks. "What if it doesn't work?"

"Then I find another solution. Do not worry, you will not die from this," Nicora promises. "I cannot afford to lose the only Eeee in Babel willing to bed me," she teases.

"I must be mad," Soldano says, and starts to disrobe.. although he seems very reticent to uncover his most sensitive parts.

So Nicora kneels down before him and helps undress those parts. She also, well, has some fun with them too while she is down there. Perhaps to calm him down...

"You.. you are making it a bigger target for the teeth," the Eeee captain notes nervously, despite being impressively aroused - but fear can do that.

"I will make sure it won't be like this before you are eaten," Nicora promises. She then starts to, well, 'eat' him. It's likely far more pleasant than the creature, at least.

"Oh.. what's that.. on your.. mmm," Soldano mumbles. He does certainly seem to relax. The Thing trundles over though, and starts feeling over Nicora's dragon-headed-tail with a tubule-thing.

Nicora almost bites down at the surprise but she manages to stop herself. Her 'work' does slow don a bit while she tries to determine if this thing behind her is going to harm her in any way.

Kaira never explained just how intelligent this thing was, or if it even had the sort of intelligence that an animal could comprehend. But so far it's just puffing up and deflating and farting while groping around with its disturbing protuberances and waggling its sensor-stalks about. At least, so far, it doesn't seem to have a tongue.

So, feeling safe, Nicora gets into relaxing Soldano. He should be easy to devour once his body releases its tension. Nicora shifts about a bit too, her own very damp and slimy bandages squelching about a bit as well.

It's the slime! The creature is trying to harvest Nicora's ooze, using those disturbing phallic hoses that appear to work in the opposite manner one would expect. It also makes a disturbing noise while it work. And then it starts gibbering.

Nicora makes a face! "Well, this is distracting. Very very, distractiong," she thinks as she tries to get Soldano completely relaxed so she can scoot away and let the creature devour him! Good thing she has bandages covering the oozy parts of her.

Little teeth begin to nibble away at Nicora's bandages, the removed scraps getting sucking into the hose-things. Would a mobile fungus instinctively seek out the most warm and damp thing in its environment. Soldano luckily has his eyes closed through this, so doesn't notice the trumpet-tentacle 'sniffing' his head.

Nicora, finding herself excited in spite of herself, ends up using one of her hands to help the creature work the bandages away. Part of her wonders why, but the rest of her knows that it's the rampant desires Gorphat inflicted.

The Thing is really pressing against Nicora's back now. Her tail is engulfed in tubules, and even more are starting to branch around to her front. Curious probing has been replaced by wanton plundering, as tubes attach to the Yodhgorphat's teats and penetrate up into her. And not just one.. several are climbing upwards towards her womb, and a few are exploring the wonderland of her colon. Soldano is shivering now, showing the signs of immanent eruption..

"Why am I liking this?" Nicora thinks as she now gasps and squirms a bit of her own. She must, because she doesn't do anything to dislodge the exploring things; she's ... encouraging them. It's a bit sporadic, but she keeps working on Soldano, even as she feels her own insides squirm about. "It is like a reverse grub," she thinks at one point, "like when I birthed."

Nicora is also secretly grateful that the teat attachment is ... relieving pressure there. There is always pressure there these days.

Soldano shudders and moans, releasing his pressure.. and then the Thing's mouth-tube has expanded to an absurd degree and engulfed the Eeee's head and shoulders. The look on Soldano's face can almost be registered within the stretched flesh.

Nicora keeps at least his mess from causing more in this room; her own, however, is left to the creature to take care of. Soon, she rolls forward a bit to her hands and kneels, and just lets the creature do as it wishes.

The Eeee being swallowed (and not in the good way) is no longer relaxed. The barrel-body of the Thing expands and distorts to accommodate the large meal, but still can't get past Soldano's knees, meaning that his calves and feet flail about atop the creature. It is also only too happy to keep draining away Nicora's non-vital juices.

Poor Nicora is gasping, moaning, and squirming herself as her body's own arousal is spiking while her insides squirm! "Kaira, has it removed the shuggoth yet? I don't know how long he or I can survive this!" she thinks.

"Well, it should soon, one way or the.." Kaira begins to reply, but then the Thing convulses violently and regurgitates Soldano. The Eeee's wounds glitter darkly for a moment before showing natural red. It also extracts itself from Nicora, recoiling back to its original corner and looking sick.

"I don't think it worked that time," Kaira concludes. "It may require a more self-aware host. Something that can experience fear."

Nicora lets out a squeal! "You mean I let it do that and it didn't even help?!" Nicora thinks as she goes to check herself for damage first. She has to make sure she's fine, then can bandage up Soldano.

She's fairly certain there isn't anything squirming around inside of her still. Soldano is moaning and shaking, his fur matted with ectoplasm. "I threw up inside," he admits. He's also covered with lots of little knicks and cuts, possibly from the ring of teeth on the Thing's tube-mouth.

"Satisfied she is fine, Nicora goes to bandage up Soldano. "I am sorry," she tells him gently as she dabs away blood and wraps the wounds, "That did not work. It did not seem interested enough in that creature."

"We did learn one thing though," Soldano gasps, and forces himself to smile. "It likes me enough that even if I'm being eating alive, it stays with me."

Niocra laughs a little of that. "Well, you can say the same for me," she notes to the handsome captain. She even kisses his cheek.

"He has a point," Kaira agrees. "We need something more inviting. But that also means more dangerous."

"What are you thinking, then?" Nicora thinks, "Another fake Eeee? See if I can get it to infect me, then we extract it from me?"

"We still don't know how it would react with the shadow," Kaira points out. "And it needs to be something with a mind, which has ethical considerations. I would prefer to use something expendable, which is already on the 'black list' as it were."

"A steel dragon would be problematical," Kaira admits. "A demon might be more tractable, and many of them do understand fear - especially those that possess others; being possessed themselves would be horrifying."

Nicora also lightly massages her own gut after that intrusion; it was ... disconcerting, but at least not terribly uncomfortable. "Do you have a demon in mind? And how would we convince it to help? Or would we even try?" Nicora thinks.

"Demons have to follow rules, so I don't really need to convince one," Kaira admits. "However, it may be necessary to offer one promotion to the white list, as we did with Lord Verminous. There are certainly a few more.. pliable.. demonic sorts."

"Good, I don't have to seduce it. I liked Verminous. Which ones are you thinking of now?" Nicora thinks.

"Of the vampiric sort, there are several types that are flying heads with their entrails dangling below.. but they tend to be a bit feral," Kaira notes. "Of the more civilized ones.. a succubus or incubus might work."

"Sounds like some I would like. Since it is Soldano, probably a succubus," Nicora thinks.

"Right now? Possibly not. I'll ask," Nicora thinks. "Lover, are you up for a different attempt?" she asks him and pets his cheek.

"No, seduced by a demon. Possibly swallowed in ways I just did to you," Niocra offers.

"Help me.. towel off first," Soldano says, pulling himself upright and casting an evil glance at the burbling, farting monstrosity in the far corner.

Nicora goes and fetches a towel (well, gauze) to work on cleaning Soldano off more. Every now and then she casts a glance towards the blob. "Why is it still here?" she asks Kaira.

"Haven't recycled it yet," the dragon notes. "We can reuse the ectoplasm for the succubus.. I'm checking a few candidates. Vashtothesolisa is promising."

"/Darn, I thought it could entertain me while Soldano is entertained,/" Nicora teases and grins to herself while working on Soldano. "/This ... Vash..othingy. What is she?"

"Well, there are varying races of creatures that could be called succubi," Kaira explains. "Vash is one of the more talented illusionist types. Which, given what she looks like, is probably for the best."

Nicora almost laughs. "Well, I have to take your advice on this. Does she look and smell worse than me?" she thinks.

Nicora spends a moment cleaning herself up! She'll be slime free for ... well, a minute or two; her body is aggressively generating of that mess these days. "Right, I'm fit for a guest. Bring her," she thinks.

The Thing in the corner distorts, twists and expands. For a moment, there is a creature there with lower body of a Naga, four bat-like wings and a muscular human torso with oversized breasts. The neck is disturbingly long, and the head narrow and reptilian. A pair of fangs juts down from the upper jaw, at least four inches long. Long black hair frames three glowing red eyes, one set in the center of the forehead, and the entire creature is blood red..

And then everything changes. The walls of the chamber are no longer moldy and damp, but shiny and clean. The altar is a cushioned bed. And the demon is gone, in its place is.. Tulani. Although she now has three glowing red eyes instead of the usual icy-blue pair.

"Hey, she looks rather nice," Nicora thinks once she has a few moments to look over this creature. Soon she bows formally to the creature, then smiles. "Welcome .... Vash. I assume the deal has been explained to you?" she asks.

Vash looks over Nicora, and smirks in a way that is far too sly for Tulani's body. "He needs warming up, yes?" she asks, her voice causing tingles.

"He is all yours. Do not damage him much," Nicora says, then gestures to Soldano. "So, Kaira must not have told it everything. I hope this works."

"Not so fast," the demoness says, and grabs Nicora's arm. "He must be warmed up. Get on the bed."

Nicora is pressed back against the bed, and Vash sniffs the air. "He must be encouraged to recharge," the succubus explains. "You will help me do that."

"What are you smelling?" Nicora asks as she reluctantly climbs up onto the bed. Soon she's on her back and looking up at the ceiling. She bites her lip, thinking, "Kaira must be getting revenge."

"His readiness," Vash claims, and rolls Nicora over onto her stomach. The demon then.. grabs the Eeee's tail. Her touch is electric, making the tail twitch.

Nicora squeals and her eyes go wide! "Hey, you should ask before touching people!" she complains.

"Why? Nobody complains after I touch them," Vash claims, and kisses the dragony lips of the tail. There's some tongue-wrestling as well. And the fact that she looks like Tulani is.. disturbing.

This makes Nicora make all sorts of disturbing and twisted faces too! And it doesn't help her 'gifts', because the poor Eeee is getting all ... slimy again. She tries to resist, protest, but all she can do is squeal.

The tail of course is semi-independent, but Nicora can still feel what it does.. and taste what it does too. She's not the only one lactating apparently, and even though the tail can't swallow is still can suckle.. messily. And Vash keeps stroking it.. in ways that not only make Nicora feel weird, but make Soldano's eyes go wide. "Such a fun appendage!" the demon coos.

"It drives me crazy," Nicora whines. There are eight wet spots on the bed now from her own 'ample' chest.

"Here, let me.." Soldano says, and 'helpfully' tries to rub around the edges of Nicora's squished breasts.. but then Vash is straddling the Yodhgorphat's butt, cackling madly.. and has the entire length of the tail inside her. And it's not rolled or balled up, either, but still stretched out.

Nicora's jaw clenches down, claws dig into the bed, and she whines even more! "This is cruel. Mean! Why did you do this to me?!?" she thinks to Kaira!

"What? Is there a problem?" Kaira asks. "What's taking so long? Is Soldano having performance issues?"

"Oh, she's probably just showing off for you," Kaira claims. "Or working up her nerve. We don't know how this will work out.."

"I have enough problems with being a slut, I don't need encouragement!" Nicora thinks as she squirms and claws the bed.

"Are you in pain? Make sure you don't use up Soldano yourself before Vash can. I'm sure you can handle things," the dragon says reassuringly. Of course, she's not the one with a super-sensitive tail that can only get more and more aroused without having any means of release.

"I may be in pain after this," Nicora thinks. Her claws are making a right mess of those illusionary sheets by this point. "Mother," she now thinks to Gorphat should she be listening, "Your daughter is being ... tested. I hope this pleases you; I wish that my discomfort please someone."

There's no reply from Gorphat, but Soldano is beginning to whine.. and clambers up onto the bed to bury his face into Vash's chest, even though it means adding a bit more pressure to Nicora's back.

The entirety of Nicora's lower midsection thobs. She can feel the inflammation from Gorphat's blessing and the torment from her tail! It is ... maddening!

"Eager now, are you?" Vash laughs. There's some shuffling about, as she pins Soldano down next to Nicora and straddles him. This leaves Nicora's tail exposed and chilled, but then Vash's tail finds Nicora.. and doesn't feel all that furry and feline at that point.

Nicora lies there gasping and possibly sobbing. Her hands are clenched, then she yelps when she feels another tail assaulting her. "Where are you putting that?" she thinks worriedly, and even starts ti try and pull herself off the bed!

Too late, the tail sneaks in.. and changes shape. It inflates, ripples, and at one point feels like a giant tongue. It's not coming out!

Nicora, poor bat, reaches down and tries to pull it out! Or at least find out what is holding it in!

What's holding it in is its constantly morphing shape. The three glowing eyes of Vash look down at Nicora, and the demon asks, "Why do you struggle? Surrender yourself." She reaches out with one hand, and the fingers extend into.. tongues? The demon uses them to work over Nicora's chest and belly..

"You might leave stuff in me," Nicora hisses at the demon. Her struggles are rather feeble at this point, though, and her 'blessing' eventually makes her succumb to the torment.

"I'm not an incubus," Vash laughs. "And believe me, my kind never leaves anything behind of ourselves.. and very little of our victims as well.."

At this point Nicora can't even complain. She's too busy making all sorts of tormented sounds as her body overloads her brain with sensation.

It seems to go on forever, as the demon inflicts her particular brand of torture. Soldano shakes and gasps and forgets to breath at times, but when his moment of release comes.. Nicora can hear his heart stop. The man seems to wither slightly, just before Vash leans down and sinks her teeth into his throat! All the while, she's still playing with Nicora.

"This, this has better work! It better not hurt him," Nicora thinks weakly. She feels like she's ready to pass out, herself! And her insides are squrming, again. Augh!

As for hurting him.. Soldano doesn't seem to be breathing or have a pulse at the moment (at least, not a pulse in his heart). But Vash pulls back, and her teeth are black and shiny and mad, before she licks her lips clean. "She has it," Kaira says. "Get away from her!"

Nicora reaches down with shaky hands and tries to yank the tail out of her if she can. "Trying!" she thinks weakly.

Soldano is convulsing, and Vash just looks down at Nicora with a smile. "Fear.. so delicious.." And then Nicora is set free! But Soldano may need some help, as he lies limp after the demon slithers off of him. The illusions have faded, and Vash is back in her true form, her red scales beginning to darken further.

Nicora weakly rolls onto Soldano. She grabs on as tight as she can, then jerks to the side in an attempt to roll them both off the bed. "Don't you dare die on me, Soldano. Tulani will never for give me," she thinks. Get the altar between themselves and that ... thing.

"Derezzing now," Kaira warns. "That should leave the shoggoth behind and exposed.. uh, not sure what will happen, but it will be ugly probably."

"It is already ugly!" Nicora thinks right before the pair hit the floor with a thud!

There's a final cackle from Vash, and then.. the inverse of a scream. Literally a scream turned inside out, and it makes Nicora's ears want to turn inside out. A horrible sense of burning flows from behind the stone altar, and it causes frost to form on the stone. And then Nicora blacks out for a few seconds before coming back to her senses.

"Did it die? Or did I die?" Nicora squeaks to the room when her senses slowly return to her. She feels like a mess, and horribly violated. And weak. It's a struggle to even try to push herself upright and see what happened.

It doesn't help that Soldano is passed out and drooling into Nicora's lap. The captain looks like he's lost a bit of weight. Once Nicora is able to look over the altar, she sees.. nothing. The corner of the chamber is... not gone but.. the corners of Nicora's vision are pulling in towards it, as if it is a blind spot or something that she just can't process visually. But it's shrinking.. or un-expanding.. as the stretched areas of vision are slowly unstretching.

"I think it is gone," Nicora thinks to Kaira as she tries to roll Soldano out of her lap and check herself for any weight loss. When the room stabilizes more, she'll risk crawling around the altar.

It takes another minute, but the corner becomes visible again, with nothing left to indicate that the universe just had an allergic reaction.

She certainly looks to be in better shape than Soldano, at least. But he's alive and struggling to wake up.

"It's gone," Nicora tells Soldano. She goes around to make sure, then goes back to the captain's side.

Aside from a cold spot.. it seems to be gone. Soldano looks like he's had a few years sucked out of him. "Gone?" he wheezes. "I still have two more to deliver.."

"Those you will have to deliver fast and leave when the time comes," Nicora says as she helps him back up onto the altar so he can lie back and rest. "And right now, you need to rest. I will find you a blanket."

"I'm just going to rest my eyes.." Soldano says, falling asleep with his back to the altar.

"I think that went well," Kaira notes. "Plus you've made a new friend. Or fiend. One of those."

And so Nicora leaves the sleeping man to find him a blanket. Well, loan him hers; it is not like there are many blankets around here. "A new friend? That Vash creature?" she has to think. "I think not."

"And I hope I am okay after the repeated violations of my body. I need to examine myself more, or have Mother do it," Nicora thinks.

There's a gurgle in Nicora's belly, hinting that she should eat as well. Hopefully that's what it is, at least..

After retrieving the blanket and getting Soldano 'tucked in', Nicora feels a caress down her back.

Nicora goes tense! Ever since she lost all her body fur, touch is especially sensitive. She swallows, then slowly looks over her shoulder.

Shiny black and green chitin meet her gaze. Overlapping mouth parts chitter, "Were you satisfied?"

"Ah ... husband and egg-giver," Nicora manages out, knowing the semi-bond between them. "Mother ... has made it so that I am rarely satisfied," she admits, ears flushing. "The demons caused me much sensation; but they were not the father of our children."

Claws clamp down on Nicora's upper arms, and Hosheb bends her over the altar-exam-table. The demon begins mating right away (and Nicora is still 'primed' at least). "I am best demon," he declares.

Nicora's teeth clench down as she's taken. She doesn't resist at all, even though with Hosheb it always involves some pain; he is not built for his partner's pleasure. "You are; and I am yours," the Yodhgorphat hisses out, "Your clutch-host."

"Beautiful," Hosheb click-hisses, and licks the horrib tattoo on Nicora's back. "I service you. Anything you wish.."

"Define anything," Nicora hisses out in pain (and yet seems to also be enjoying it at the same time!). But then Yodhgorphat aren't known for being sane.

"You request, I serve," the demon claims, pinching a bit harder for a moment. The stone top is not as comfortable as the illusory bed. "What do you need?"

"Right now you, inside me," Nicora murmurs as her front scrapes uncomfortably on the altar. "Afterward ... I wish to find out if those demons harmed me in any way. Can you tell if they affected me? Then after that ... some food for myself and our guest. And in the far future, more of our children inside me."

"The red one, or the green one?" Hosheb asks.. confusing the Thing for a demon probably.

"Both of them. They both violated me," Nicora admits. Soon she moans though; stupid attraction to Hosheb and his feel.

There's.. something new. Hosheb is extending deeper and probing around. This requires a pause in his thrusting, for now. "Did you like that the red one changed?" he asks.

"It was ... different. Exciting at times, but very disturbing," Nicora admits. "I prefer you as you if you are asking. The pain of mating with you is part of the bond."

"Pain?" Hosheb asks. The odd probing stops, and he begins to move again. "No changes to you felt."

"And nothing left behind?" Nicora asks, just to be sure. "And yes, your anatomy is not built for Eeee; it causes us discomfort."

"Left behind?" Hosheb asks. "Nothing of spirit remains. Do you enjoy the discomfort? Is there a different method you would prefer?"

"No, I enjoy it. It is exciting when you force yourself on me and take me," Nicora admits as her gasping soon resumes.

Hosheb takes this as encouragement to by more forceful, which may result in some bruising. Soldano sleeps on. Would he even be able to see Hosheb.. and if not, what would the whole thing look like to him?

Nicora doesn't even try to think too much on that. Right now Hosheb is ... oddly satisfying. There is pain, and yet she likes it. She's even as active as she can be when she pushes back, her cries calling out and encouraging him; promising him so many disturbing things.

The demon decides to change the routine however. He stops and withdraws, only to climb onto the table and lie back. "I give the lead to you," he clacks to Nicora.

And Nicora soon climbs up onto the table. She positions herself so that he can watch as she slowly and willingly takes him back into her body. As she does so, she murmurs to him, "I willingly give myself to you and the horribs." And to demonstrate that, her body begins to move on his, willingly mating with him, even though her face changes about into expressions of enjoyment and pain.

Hosheb's face.. remains expressionless. The hard chitin plates only shift occasionally, so the only sign of his own interest is when he starts moving his hips up and down, building up to speed quite vigorously.

Nicora even leans down and manages somehow to kiss that horrible maw of his. "I am honored every time you release your gift into me," she murmurs to him, "And that I smell of you for a time after each joining."

"I.." Hosheb clacks, and then shudders and fills Nicora, "... enjoy you, mistress."

Nicora pushes down firmly, even though it hurts when she does so. "Good," she gasps out, shuddering herself. "I also wish you to feed me if you can after this," she adds. That would solve her meal dillema, at least and quite the gurgle.

"Yes, mistress," the horrib-demon replies, and the feeding tube extends from his abdomen to poke into Nicora's stomach!

And Nicora even directs it, and leans into it as the tube extends. Her jaw clenches hard and all she can do is let out a pained hiss. She even watches her flesh sink around the tube.

Since she's still technically impaled by Hosheb's other spike, it's a bit immobilizing. But at least this time she's sitting up for it! The nutrient goo fills her, even though she can only get minimal use out of it for herself it does trick her stomach into thinking she's eaten. The needle withdraws, leaving a mixed trail of green goo and blood, but as always that wound heals quickly.

"I do not know why I enjoy that," Nicora says as she shivers from it all. Soon, though, she is drawing herself off the horrib-demon's body. "And now I must attend to our guest and to whatever other wishes Mother may have of me," she apologizes to the demon. "As you serve me, I must serve Her."

"We both enjoy you," Hosheb claims, moving his mouthparts into what might be a smile. And then he's fading back into the shadows.

"And I enjoy the challenges and blessings Mother gives me," Nicora admits to the room. She even runs her fingers lightly over her eight teats and her perpetually swollen vulva. "Her touch upon Her daughter, to bring Her glory."

Of course, touching them reminds her that they'll be wanting attention shortly.. and unless she intents to breast-feed Soldano back to health, she'll need some of that time to find food.

"I need my own milking machine," Nicora admits to herself. The Eeee goes to get some new clothing; then it is out of the temple for a bit to scavenge for food. Or shift and hunt in another form; which may be easier and less distracting. "Every time you bless me I am scared, and yet I grow to accept and enjoy the blessing. Thank you, Mother, for knowing what is best," the deranged Yodhgorphat thinks as she goes.
