Before I knew it, I was on the ground as one of Astred''s henchmen, Nicola, walked outside the cave''s door.


    "Let me know when you two are done. I only have eyes for my beautiful lady of the night." He huffed, closing the door.


    One of my captives grabbed my hands and pulled them upward of my head.


    "Get off me!" I snarled, trying to free myself, but it was no use.


    My body refused to listen to me, and even if it did without a sigil, the demon would easily overpower me.


    One of the incubus licked his grey lips, eyeing me down as I shivered.


    "We get to taste a saint, Ren." He snickered, undoing his clothes before ripping into my shirt.


    When I felt it go, I gasped. I never wore anything under it, so only the straps of my clothes covered my chest.


    "Not any saint, but the king''s flower is ours to have. How lucky are we, brother? A treat like this doesn''t come often." the one holding me captive announced.


    "Fuck off!" I tried to struggle, but my movements were sluggish at best.


    For a moment, the grey incubus stopped, glancing behind him.


    "Was that?" he mumbled, voice shaking.


    He was trembling from where he was.


    "Heh, our king''s pissed off." The other one huffed, glancing the same way.


    Finn!


    "Ren, I''ve never felt him rage like this." Glenn shuttered where he stood.


    No! She can''t have you! I can''t let this happen! Finn! Please!


    "And all because of this tiny human." The one holding me captive gazed back at me.


    I wanted to dig my nails into him but couldn''t. Finn''s rage wasn''t the only one boiling over; mine was reaching its tipping point.


    "Hey, Ren, our lady will calm him, right?" Gleen shook his head.


    He was still shivering where he was. Finn''s connection to every demon out there seemed more potent than I first realized from them to feel him all the way where I was. However, their faces had become irrelevant to me.


    I could barely tell how they appeared anymore. Every breath started to hitch as I struggled to form coherent thoughts.


    "Part of me wonders if we should do this." The startled brother added, gazing back at us. "Maybe we should just..."


    His hand brushed my chest, causing me to shiver. Any touch felt so oddly satisfying, yet I hated that my body craved it.


    Why... does this keep happening to me?! I... I...


    There was a saying that victims tend to continue to be precisely that. Yet I...


    Refuse!


    "If our mistress wants this, it shall be done, Glenn. Don''t waver! The king can''t find us here." Ren growled at his wavering brother.


    Chaos was breaking in between them as the reluctant brother stood up. "If that''s directed at us, we''ll end up like King Ageth. In that horrible dungeon!"


    Just a moment. I need...


    It seemed that demons shared that they didn''t like to be ordered around, especially when it put their lives in danger, just like humans.


    True loyalty is always hard to buy. Demons and humans are the same; these two... are nothing more than...


    "Quiet! You know better than to say that name! It brings nothing but wrath!" Ren let go of me to confront his brother.


    It gave me the chance to turn away from them as I covered my chest with the little bits of clothing I had. This was the only chance I would get, and it was only a matter of time before their bickering stopped.


    My body throbbed in ways I never thought it could. I never knew one could want sex so much that my lady bits were itching and aching for attention. Most of my thoughts were full of moments when Finn held me, muddling everything else.


    I wanted him more than I cared to get away.


    If only you were here, then I... No! Don''t let this bitch win! I can have you plenty once I find my way back to you! Fight it, Sylvia! This isn''t how I truly feel!


    Clenching my hands into fists, I dug my nails into my palms before biting onto my lip hard enough for it to bleed. The pain was a rude awakening to me. Thankfully, I was no sadist.


    Yes... I have to get back to my home! Solas... Finn... Nyla... They''re all waiting for me! I can''t linger here!


    It wasn''t long before my thoughts became muddled again—something I remedied by biting into my hand. The taste of iron was another awakening.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    The pain was more intense than before. However, the scent of blood had alerted the two bickering males of what was happening, quickly turning their gazes towards me again.


    "Did the human girl hurt herself?" one asked, bewildered.


    "Shit! Astred will rip us to shreds for days if she dies!"


    A human afflicted with a succubi hex would, without a doubt, have lost their mind. Many would''ve thrown themselves toward the two males, asking for the mercy that came with the pleasure sex would give them.


    Yet I was turning my lust into something else. There were many ways to find pleasure, and Finn''s previous moments of madness made me think of one.


    Revenge!


    "You fucks are dead!" I snarled, triggering my shadows to explode from me.


    The seal weakened, allowing my magic to slip by, shattering what was left. Blood pooled under my left hand as my body still refused to do what I wanted. Any single rub down on my vulva would make me shiver, though.


    "Fuck!" one of them yelled.


    "Don''t worry! All she can do is create smokescreens!" the other assured his brother.


    Smokescreens... I refuse to be as useless as everyone thinks I am! I''ll be someone worthy of walking by your side, Finn! If I need to be someone to be feared, then so be it!


    "Shut up!" I snarled, using the blood to draw a single sigil on my chest.


    All of Rizak''s lessons hadn''t been in vain. Even though I didn''t understand much of it, I listened to all of them diligently. Sigils usually were activated through the mana coursing through one''s body, which was why everyone on the human side had some tattoos on their bodies.


    It didn''t matter if one was a failure or an expert. They would work much like the light spell I had used to go down the corridor, as their only requirement was mana. I drew an emergency sigil, which was acting, yet it wore off just as fast.


    An artifact usually had a name given by the owner when the pact between the two was forged. Even though I had never seen the blade, the surge of magic from me when the sigil activated made me feel something new.


    Words formed in my head before I could even think clearly as one of the incubi sprouted his wings, creating a gust that scattered my shadows to the side. However, I was on my feet, staring down at the one known as Ren.


    He closed the gap briefly, grabbing me by my neck as my body shimmered a gentle white hue.


    "Sorry, but that was a nice try to get away." He smirked.


    My feet were still planted on the floor. A second later, a familiar boom separated the demons from me as the blood on the floor swirled around me.


    Ah... I''ve lost count of how often I''ve tried to get you to come to me without knowing your name.


    Yet this time...


    "Come to me—"


    Time stopped as a figure appeared behind the repelled demons. It was none other than the goddess who gave me this cursed power.


    Serena smirked, "Are you finally going to show me what you''re made off, Sylvia?"


    No, I''ve got nothing to prove to you or anyone! All I want is to go home!


    Her smirk turned into a defined grin, and a second later, she was gone.


    That''s right. I don''t have anything to prove. All I want is to go home and walk beside you, Finn! And for that, I will roar louder than you ever can!


    Time restarted, allowing me to finish my sentence.


    "—blade of chaos, Twilight!" I yelled, triggering the blood to concentrate on my hand, forming a blade that soon consumed the cavern in a bright light.


    It quickly dimmed, leaving behind two stunned demons against the wall. In my hands was a radiant blade, shining brightly like the sun back in my world. Its handles were made of pure black leather, radiating the same black aura from my shadows.


    The two demons quickly found their footing before one launched at me. Unlike before, my eyes could keep up with him thanks to the sigil. Instead of meeting with my flesh, his claws met with my blade. In a split second, his hand and arm were sliced in half.


    He wailed upon feeling the blow, quickly stepping away from me before falling on his bum.


    "It isn''t healing!" Ren cried, holding onto his injured limb.


    It didn''t matter to me if a monster had a face of one or not.


    All that matters is that they are one.


    Using the same rage from the fateful day that led me to this world, I swung my sword one more time, unleashing a shadowy energy slash toward the two. My shadows were more than smoke and mirrors.


    They had their fangs as much as I did.


    No one''s taking advantage of me ever again!


    The slash split them both in half before it went through the rock wall behind them. Blood splattered everywhere from where they stood as the shock in their eyes burned into my head.


    Yes... I''m no saint. Nor do I want to be. All I want to be...


    "I''m going home to my king! Get out of my way!" I snarled, unleashing my shadows in the form of two wolves beside me.


    I didn''t know how I was doing it. Then again, Finn once told me that magic responds to one''s desires.


    "Anyone who gets in my way will be trampled!" I howled, shaking the cave as the door opened to reveal Nicola.


    "What the—" He didn''t finish before withdrawing into the safety of the darkness the save provided.


    This was the first time I had ever felt energy like this. Rizak was right when he said I''d know how it feels when the time came.


    It''s liberating!


    With the sword in my hand, it was like second nature. Nicola wasn''t the only one within the unknown of the cave, and I could feel dozens of demons waiting for me within its depths. My breath hitched at every step I took.


    I had to turn the lust that was surging within me into something else if I wanted to survive in this demonic cavern I found myself in.


    "Seek," I ordered my summons before rushing into the unknown.


    My steps didn''t feel like mine; it was like someone else was piloting my body. However, it wasn''t long before I heard my beast snarl, finding a target to rip into. Wails and screeches followed as I ran through the darkness.


    I would slash through anything I sensed without hesitation, much like Nicola''s tentacles that reached for me before I sliced through it.


    "You bitch! I''ll rip you to shreds!" His scream could be heard as I kept in toe, barely able to stay up.


    Much like a bat, I was relying on my senses other than sight to keep up, as it wasn''t long until I cried out in pain, feeling a sharp ache come from my abdomen. Unable to help it, I stumbled onto the floor, gasping as the adrenaline was the only thing keeping me active.


    I quickly found my footing. However, the moment I gazed towards where the blow had come from, I fell to my knees. Throbs mixed with the pain to create a weird sensation. My lower abdomen burned hotter than before.


    The hex was getting worse with every second that passed, turning the agony that was rushing through my body into something else. I was surrounded by beings I couldn''t see as one grabbed onto my hair.


    "Fuck! I promised to keep you alive for my lady, but you seem to have forced my hand on the matter!" Nicola howled in the darkness before grabbing me by my neck.


    No! If I die here... Finn... Finn!


    Soon, his name filled my mind as my shadows swirled around me again, gripping Twilight tighter.


    That stupid demon king won''t find me in this god-forsaken cave!


    My needs couldn''t be met unless he was where I was, and if I gave up, I would never feel him again—something unacceptable.


    "Finn! I''m here! Come find me already!" I screamed, letting go of everything I felt.


    Everything around me melted away in my screech as a burst of energy left me, decaying even the cave''s rocks. A second later, a blinding light consumed everything around me before it dimmed, leaving me in a crater of what used to be the carven.


    I need to...


    Struggling to get up, I expected to get attacked, but when the dust settled, I was shocked to see who was in the distance. Before I knew it, I ran towards them as the gap closed quicker than I realized, thanks to the sigil on my chest.


    Launching myself onto him, I held him dearly.


    Finn!
