Not A nightmare
I felt like I was floating in darkness without even the feeling of my clothes against my skin. Am I naked? Wait where am I? Trying to do anything I realised my magic was gone, the 90 orbs were gone leaving only 4 behind all of them colourless meaning I didn't know how to use them. How? I'm soppose to always have regeneration no matter what because I'm a leviathan. Running my hands down my back I found where my snappers connect almost letting out I sigh when I touched them. Good so figure this out Lazuris you were talking with a girl then she touched you and now your here. Taking a stab in the dark I yelled.
"I know your out there, your a succubus ain't you? And to answer your question no I'm not a Nightmare although you already knew that." Silence persisted for a bit before a room lit up below me with a bed big enough to even fit a giant on. Then gravity activated and I fell. I would have screemed had my voice not frozen from the shock.
Smack. As if to punish me I missed the bed riding face first into the wooden floor beside it. That hurt dam. Checking my face to see if anything was broken some footsteps vibrated towards me, on instinct my snappers hissed towards there owner.
"I am your god in here little insect you will not hiss at me." With that my body was lifted up by nothing and thrown through a brick wall that just appeared. Hitting the ground yet again I noticed I wasn't breaking any bones or skin even without my regeneration, still hurt though but I had noticed one of my orbs had started to crack ever so slightly. This was similar to the way I gained mental defence, so whatever was happening was giving me a resistance to something.
"So little insect tell me why you lied to me." Standing just a little bit away was the same girl that had touched my forehead and presumably bought me here with a calm expression only this time she looked scarier.
"Because I wanted privacy."
"Why?"
"Well miss succubus because I'll be hunted if anyone figures out what I am." An anvil fell sideways into my chest pushing me into a wall of jagged glass, I felt every shard slice through my body but once I was through it I knew there were no wounds, just the pain as if it was a real thing.
"You know nothing about being hunted insect." Getting to my feet quickly I stared her down. She could control everything here it seemed but this was calm compared to what I had to endure from mother to gain mental defense and I needed whatever this new defence was to do anything but getting it was going to be painful.
"And you do miss dream slut." Her calm face broke into anger.
"How dare you."
"How dare I what? Insult you? You deserve it all, you control this place and you can only create a room with a bed that we all know what you do with." Growling she created and threw a snake at me which wrapped around my arm sinking it's fangs into my wrist. OK that hurts. A lot. The orb started to crack even more. Holding in a scream I tried looking as calm as possible towards her.
"Almost felt that." Her anger grew taking on a dark arua. Everything disappeared leaving me floating again only this time I couldn't breathe. Crap OK hold your breath you can do this. Bubbles started popping around me and the tingling of something against my skin was felt. Acid. Dam she's getting adventurous with this. The tingling turned to itching then slowly into burning. God dam this hurt I thought only for another anvil to whack into my stomach driving the air from my lungs. Trying to breathe forced me to inhale the acid burning me from inside. Come on you stupid orb crack already. My body was on fire both inside and out burning while I still tried to breathe causing my insides to burn even more.
Staring from the shadows the succubus growled.
"Had enough little insect?" I could see the faint milky white and gray swirling together inside my orb the cracks growing with every second, willing my pain to be forced into the cracks forcefully I felt it give. The orb cracked freeing its colours which surrounded its shell shattering it inward before spreading through my body.
Soul protection. This thought echoed in my mind as I gulped at air the acid no longer affecting me. Finding the succubus off to the side I smiled giving her a little wave.
"Impossible." Her look of surprise was priceless.
"Not really." I replied nonchalantly. She growled another anvil slamming into me this time not even making me flinch. Her mouth dropped open.
"Would you like to have a normal conversation now?" She spat at me chains appearing around my arms and snappers pulling them apart. Sighing I closed my eyes, she couldn't hurt me anymore but could bind me it seemed.
"I'm still god in this dreamscape insect know your place." Blocking out her voice I focused on the remaining 3 orbs I could access one of these must be the power to control this dreamscape as she said. Picturing a basic rock in my mind I mentally tried to touch it, 2 of the orbs didn't react but one did start shaking slightly. Gocha. Taking the rock in my mind I turned it into a plate watching as the orb shook taking a black and purple colour inside it, learning magic was a lot easier compared to resistance magic so long as you knew what you were doing and found the right orb, this is a pain when you have 90 orbs to search through but 4 is to easy. Now to single out this ability and use it so it's permanent. Opening my eyes I found the succubus trying to burn me in lava cursing my unreactiveness the whole time. Giving her another smile I focused on my rock plate picturing it in front of me. Letting my orb take control I watched the rock take form silencing the succubus as she watched, her anger at being ignored replaced by fear. The rock spun around a little bit before flattening into a plate hovering just eye level before falling into the lava, my orb settling down it's colour becoming permanent around its case.
"How did you do that? Only succubus should be able to create things in here."
"And nightmares." I taunted destroying the chains around me.
"Your not a nightmare, their cantaurs you know half horse half human and even a nightmare shouldn't have that control over my dream. They go into others dreams." Picturing a field of grass with a lake my vision turned to reality as the lava I was bathing in disappeared allowing the soft grass to touch my feet.
"And this is my dream you shouldn't be able to change anything." Collapsing to her knees she all but cried.
"What are you? You defy everything, I can't hurt you I can't force you and you can create things in MY dream. I should be God here not you."
"So no saying I'm a nightmare?" She laughed or tried to as she was on the verge of tears more of a sob.
"No your not a nightmare but with what you just did I presume you want to hide what you can do from others?"
"Yes I do."
"Then what will you do with me?" I hadn't thought of that but she has seen my snappers so figuring out what I am would be quite easy. So I can't let her talk but killing her makes me feel a little bad.
"Keep you quiet somehow."
"So kill me then?"
"You did call me a little insect and treated me like a slave." Panicking she bowed putting her forhead to the ground.
"I'm sorry please forgive me." Staying on the ground she whimpered flattening her wings against her belly. I really don't want to kill her probably because she's the first student I've met and I don't want to know I killed them. Sighing I looked at her begging figure.
"You do have to put yourself in my shoes, I don't want anyone to know what I really am and you did attack me because I wasn't a nightmare. So if you can figure out how I can trust you to keep my secret ill let you live." This sounds fair enough to me. Taking herself into a sitting position and pulling a collar from thin air she offered it towards me.
"I could become your slave. Then a simple order from you would stop me doing anything." Taking the collar from her she stretched her neck to make it easier to put on.
"How do I know that doing this in here will make you listen to me when we leave here?"
"A succubus that accepts a collar in her dream is bound to the owner."
"And how do I know it's your dream you could just be in my dream?"
"Shut up please." Tears started flowing down her face.
"Do you know how hard it is to turn myself into a slave to live is? I don't want to become a slave but you can beat me here in my own world and I can feel your tenticle things wrapping around my real body's neck so can you put that dam collar around my neck and let me live!" Pant pant. Taking a breath she continued.
"Please I don't want to die." More tears rolled down her cheaks as she once again held up her neck. Taking the collar and putting it around her neck I stopped just before it was fully clipped on.
"Do you know what I am?" She looked at my snappers then my horns.
"One of the demon Lords abominations?" I smiled mainly because I could pull off being one of them.
"No I am a leviathan." And with a clip of the collar we were pulled from the dreamworld and back into the abandoned dorm room.
Shaking my head to clear the dizziness of that ordeal I noticed my snappers were in fact wrapped around the succubus neck electing a cute whimper from her.
"Please you don't need to use them." Trusting her was still debatable so I need to test it.
"Bite off your tail." Her look changed from fear to surprise then panic.
"But..." Before she could even Finnish her sentence her neck started glowing black and her breathing got more rasped. Taking my snapper off her neck I noticed a tattoo there mimicking the collar I put on her inside the dream.
"Cancel that order." Gasping for breath the tattoo fadded till it was invisible.
"So you were telling the truth."
"Yes I'm now your slave, what would you have me do master?" Lots of different things crossed my mind most of them involved kinky positions but they left when I noticed her tears flowing again. Fine I'll have a heart. Taking a breath I noticed her tense up.
"I order you to not tell anyone in any way what I am, no hinting, no nothing and if anyone asks you think I'm a nightmare. Got it." She nodded.
"Now what's your name?"
"Lilith, master but you may change it if it makes you unhappy." Lilith nice name.
"No I like Lilith, now why were you here when I arrived?"
"This is where they use to send demons they weren't sure about to live but after the school started recruiting for the armies, demons with magic that could be controlled and would fight became popular less and less became distrusted. Hence the lack of people in this dorm." OK that's interesting but.
"That doesn't answer my question." She sighed.
"I'm a succubus what use do you think I have in a army?" I could think of many, interigation seemed to be the best with her ability to cause people pain in dreamworld. Lilith took my silence for confusion.
"They offered me a place in the army to keep the moral of the men up. A sex doll that could fight if need be." That was a lot darker than I thought. But that seems like a waste of a good skill.
"So I said I still needed to study but ran out of money to pay for dorms so I hid here."
"No one comes here then?" Curling her knees up to her chin and wrapping her arms around them she looked towards the door.
"Some do, there's a rumour that if you sleep in this dorm alone you'll be visited by a lustfull spirit."
"Dam I didn't even get to sleep before you showed up." Lilith made her sad laugh but tried to smile.
"Yes that's true but you had the look of someone that wanted to stay so I tried to get you out."
"Wait go back do you sleep with everyone that comes in here?" Her dark skin took on a shade of red.
"Yes and no." She replied hiding her face. Hold up that doesn't make sense.
"So you only sleep with some of them?" Embarrassment threatened to become her domanant skin colour.
"No I sleep with them in their dreams its how I feed, taking a little bit of their life force in exchange for pleasure. I have never done it awake!" Stopping suddenly she realised what she just said.
"Ummm please just ignore what I just said." It's so tempting to taunt her. But I'll hold back for now. Taking my hand I let my snapper bite till a little blood started to flow then held it out to lilith.
"Drink." Uncurling herself she complied standing on all fours she started suckling on my finger giving me a nice view of her clevage that to my surprise weren't held in a bra. The way they bounced as she licked. Rubbing my snappers against them would feel amazing I bet, but Lilith was looking at the ceiling on the verge of tears. Mood breaker, oh well pulling up my orbs I briefly smiled at the 2 new ones I gained but My attention was taken by another that had broken as soon as my blood touched her tongue. Blood red swirled around this one but its noticeable feature was the smaller orb circling it. This one was clear showing a naked Lilith curled inside. Perfect it's done. Putting the orbs away I found Lilith had fallen asleep on the floor red veins running across her skin.
This is the leviathans curse both parties must agree to it before it activates however her being a slave forced her to accept. It gives the person who drank immortality provided the leviathan that gave it is still alive along with a few other perks like a leviathans regeneration based on how close to their leviathan and if the leviathan wants them to heal, their bodies are also changed slightly to hold a baby leviathan or seed a female one at the price of becoming infertile to everyone else. This is the only way for a leviathan to breed but it also gives the leviathan a kill switch of sorts. I can now kill her whenever I want. I did this to be sure I could control her if her slave collar had a loophole.
Moving her into a more comfy position I let her sleep, the curse would take a while to set in and I could use this time to see what the dreamworld could do. Lying down a bit away I closed my eyes feeling the pull of my new skill.
