Warmth Atop the Mountains

Kain had set up a small fire atop the summit of Mt. Ordeals. Dusk had only begun to set in, the overcast gray skies dimming to dark blue, but alone here with only the undead and ogres for company, he was not going to take any chances. There was an ever present mist in the air, and it always thickened around nightfall. Even after soaring through space to the moon and saving the earth, he was not going to take any chances.

He was well acquainted with the locals by now, having spent several months here. So he was often prepared enough that he didn't need to worry. The various zombies and revenants skulking around were more frequent at night but even with their brains rotting past mush, they still had enough sense to stay away from the flames he slept close by. Ogres were not so bright, and more than a few times hearing their footsteps approaching him well before he saw them, was able to stand up to them, lance in hand. He never associated those creatures with agility, but he was surprised at how quick they ran when they wanted to.

Yet there was still one issue that gave him cause for concern, where even someone like him didn't feel safe. He would frequently hear a slight hissing sound in the distance, no matter what the time. He had been around Scarmiglione the Fiend of Earth when he was brainwashed into Golbez's service, knew that Cecil had tangled with the creature on these same rocks, but whatever this noise was, it sounded nothing like him.

Huddling around the fire, he set up a small cot. He had slowly begun to take his armor off so he could bundle up. The mountains were cold, and here on the summit, that was especially true. The metal plates would often accentuate the chill wind's gale through the plain clothes he wore underneath that sometimes it was like he could feel it right to the bone, and in the darkness under the moon, wearing it would become downright intolerable.

He had laid down by the fire with his lance by his side. He closed his eyes, and had begun dozing. There was a strange sound in the distance. It was far away so he felt no sense of danger, but even in his muddled dreams of Rosa and Cecil frolicking together while he was forced to watch and accept it in the name of being heir friend, he was still aware of it.

Then it was close enough that his eyes darted open. It was a full moon out, and there was more than enough light now that he could clearly see around him. It was that hissing sound again. He couldn't be sure where it was coming from, but he took his lance and stood up, ready for a fight. The blood was pumping in his veins, he couldn't sleep now even if he wanted to.

The hissing sound became clearer. The mist was as thick as ever away from the fire, but his eyesight was keen enough right now to discern anything that might show itself. Whatever was making that sound was behind a rocky wall. But he did not expect to see what he did.

Slowly, it made its visage known. First, fingers under the moonlight gripped the rocky wall. They were eerily human and intact when the only other humanoid digits he had seen here beyond his own were either the decomposing rotting appendages of the zombies skulking around or the stubby and thick hands of ogres. A head had begun to peek from behind the rock, it's dark green hair splayed across it's shoulders. He lowered his guard, his first instinct thinking it was Rydia but as the face became clearer he knew that wasn't the case.

The face was a woman's. Beautiful and immaculate, it touched something in his heart to see another person after several months alone here. Her eyes, filled with a curious intelligence, as well as her full kissable lips, were both a shining blood red and as she got closer, he could see that her skin was pale even in the moonlight. The green hair sparkled with light like an emerald, splayed over her bare shoulders. She edged further into view. Her torso was naked, with only her long hair concealing her full and ample breasts. But as she got closer into view, he saw that she had no legs, only a long purple tail, scaly and serpentine. And he quickly noticed the eyes he thought of as beautiful at first had reptilian slits, as well as finally realizing her head was crowned by two feathery antennae.

He was hit with a sudden awareness. He had seen these creatures before. At the Tower of Bab-il, and at the caves of Eblan. But he never expected to see one of them in a desolate place like this.

"I know you," he said, picking up his lance. He would not be distracted by her fair appearance.

"Do you now?" she said. "I do not know you." The snake woman had not stopped hissing, a low soft sound.

"I am Kain Highwind, here to rid myself of my darkness and never let myself fall into evil again."

"And I am Lilith," she said. He was surprised to hear one of them introduce herself with an actual name. He was used to them singing with hypnotic voices, cooing with sweet words of praise, and together with their beauty, it could get to his head. It was bad enough having to fight alongside Rosa and pretend that he wasn't in love with her anymore on their journey, he also apparently had to deal with beautiful snake women trying to seduce him. At least he counted himself lucky to not let it affect him so bad that he'd actually go to their side and fight against his friends. Edge was pretty bad about that, always distracted by a pretty face.

"Why have you been following me?" he said.

"I have long seen you here. I wondered what kind of person would be at a place like this, all alone." That wasn't an answer, but he was too on edge to care. Yet he realized he wasn't as alarmed by her presence as he should have been. With his skills and experience he could have easily put an end to her, and he might well have done so if he hadn't been alone. But away from any real contact with the outside world for so long, he was curious.

Lilith had started to hiss in a sort of lyrical cadence. He had noticed that but gave it no greater importance, as he was used to these creatures singing with their voices to affect the mind. Yet with each moment of silence of him trying to find the right words to address this creature, the hissing sounded more and more like music, and he found it harder to find the right words to say to her.

And as his nervousness grew, so did his focus on her. In the glow cast by the moonlight and the flickering flames, her white skin looked brass colored and her beautiful green hair shone in a rainbow of greens, dark and bright. Her shapely hips that rounded into an hourglass figure right before it melted into her tail. Her inviting smile and eyes all too alive with naughty intentions that dug into his psyche and tempted him.

The beautiful woman had been edging closer towards him while he was gawking. Without any aggressive movements from her, he felt at peace in her presence. When they were face to face, she clasped his hand. He felt ready to drop his lance at any moment.

"What do you want?" he said. His voice was shaky as his hands.

She cupped his face with her other hand and leaned forward so that her lips were right next to his ear. Her skin was cool to the touch.

"Warmth," she said. It was just one word but it was enough for him to drop his weapon. It clacked on the stony surface underneath them but he didn't hear it. She had taken his whole ear into her mouth and started slowly sucking on it. She delicately grazed his outer ear with her fangs and lips while licking all over the interior with her long forked tongue.

Lilith's long hair fell over Kain's shoulders. It was soft like her skin. Her tail was long enough that it had wrapped around his legs and waist as she fondled him, and it was thick enough that he would have a bit of a struggle getting loose from her if he put up a fight. He could now feel the pressure of her naked breasts through his shirt against his bare chest, her large red nipples stiff with arousal. His penis, already erect from her affectionate advances, got more than a little hard feeling that. She felt his boner too, growing against the scaly flesh of her tail that had wrapped around it, and he heard her giggle right into his ear through the sucking on it, as the hand that was cupping his face reached through his long blonde hair and felt the back of his head. And she had started to caress the bulge in his pants.

She stopped slobbering on his ear only to whisper right into it, "Take your shirt off." He hurriedly did as he was told without a second thought. He tossed it onto the ground beside them.

Lilith was feeling all over his muscular arms and shoulders, honed from years of experience as a dragoon in Baron's army and from his journeys to save the earth from Zemus's machinations. Kain's lust for this woman pumped heat through his body, and feeling her skin directly against his, was able to make him forget the cold air. Now exposed before her, the snake woman's breasts and nipples pressed against his chest, and their faces were only inches from each other.

It had been so long since he felt a woman's touch. Even if the woman in question wasn't human, she felt amazing. What little reason he had left for fighting her couldn't fight against his lustful desire to submit to her. He told himself that accepting her was the right thing to do, as it was just the two of them. She hadn't hurt him once either, unlike all the other snake women he had encountered.

He started feeling her up right back. She smiled warmly as he felt her slender arms, stroked her shoulders, like a boy with his first love. She leaned in a little closer, licking her lips, but he surprised her when he tilted her head back and kissed her neck.

She leaned back to accommodate him. He planted long loving kisses on her neck and she took it all in, gently holding his head to encourage him. Her skin tasted so good and his fearful mindset of the woman had done a complete reversal, as he was now eager and determined to have her. He moved down, trailing wet kisses on her collarbone. He could feel the breaths in her body grow heavier against his face, he was so close to her heart, and was giddy when she pushed his head down into her breasts.

The snake woman moaned as he tasted her tits, ran his tongue along her hard nipples. He took her boobs into his mouth in turns, using his lips and tongue to suck and lick at her hard nipples. She massaged his neck, prompting him to look up at her. She cupped his face again, and he rose his head up again to look her in the eyes. Her mouth was wide open in a devilish smile, her forked tongue sticking out, dripping with her sweet saliva.

Without any words, she gave him a deep soul kiss. Her tongue was longer than any human woman's, and it gently weaved around his all the way to the beginning of his throat to the point he thought it would activate his gag reflex. But it was unlike any sensation he experienced, erotic and sublime, hers slowly massaging his, and he was completely comfortable with what was happening. He wasn't able to kiss back that well at first, simply taken aback at all of it.

That didn't stop her, and her tongue vibrated inside his mouth like a motor. Getting used to it, he eventually started wildly moving his own licker against the tight grip of her oral appendage, and he was pleased when he heard her hissing in pleasure through their kiss. He felt stronger and hornier than ever and it occurred to him that for the first time in his life, he felt the entire muscle of his tongue, and used it to thrash against hers, coiled around his.

While the two continued making out, she wrapped her arms around him into an embrace. He returned it, pulling her against him, his hands aggressively cupping her full buttocks. Her sexy ass cheeks ended in a juicy curve, not unlike the dancers he and his comrades encountered on their journey across the earth, before he felt the smooth scaly flesh of her tail underneath. Her luscious tits and hard nipples brushed up against his brawny chest as they held each other. He started grinding against her and her wonderful teats rubbed against him so much more vigorously.

In between all of this, the head of his hard dick started to edge out of his pants. Kain reached down and pulled his member out from it's confines, ready to fuck her. But as he rubbed up his swollen member against her naked flesh, he wasn't able to find a vagina, only the flat human parts of her hips and the scaly skin of her thick tail.

Lilith chuckled a moment before she released his tongue and broke the kiss. For just a moment the hold from her hypnotic song was broken, and he wondered what exactly he was doing with this monster. Sensing this, the snake woman tenderly cupped his face like a mother reassuring a scared child to try and calm them down. She grabbed his dick. He sucked in his breath, even after that deep and unique kiss, nothing could prepare him for her palm and fingers touching him down there. Realizing now was the time to strike, she viciously pulled his head aside and bit deep into his neck.

It was enough to break the skin. Her mouth kept sucking on his neck, the same tongue that was down his throat now eagerly cleaning up any blood that might have dribbled down his warm flesh. She could feel his body temperature warm considerably, knew his heart must be fluttering in his chest. He knew it should have hurt, but instead it only sent a shiver of lust through his entire body. It tingled like the sweetest itch where she bit him and he was harder and hornier than ever. She rose her head back up to meet his gaze. Her reptilian slits had dilated, being round and wide like a human's pupils in the state of ecstasy and there was a slight trail of blood on the smooth marble skin around her lips.

She could feel him relax considerably. Lilith unwrapped herself around him and Kain had to catch himself from falling. His legs were a little wobbly from the almost narcotic effect of her love bite as well as having the freedom to use them after having been constricted in her tail.

She turned her back to him, before wrapping herself entirely around his waist this time. With his pants pulled down, the pressure of her thick tail against the bare skin of his hips and ass was wonderful and intimate. She could feel the heat of his penis, stiff and hard, and she sighed in anticipation.

Lilith reached an arm around Kain's head, encouraging him to look down. The end of her tail was right next to his dick. To his surprise, it opened up into four scaly ends like the petals of a flower, wet strands of slime between each of them, revealing an opening small enough to fit his cock into.

"Attack me with your lance," she said. He grabbed her by her hips and rammed himself inside of her. She was every bit as tight and wet as he had hoped. Lilith started grinding her torso, and her tail pussy moved along in tandem, rubbing pleasantly along his dick. He started humping too, she felt as good as a human woman.

The length of her tail was already wound around him for support. He let go of her hips and grabbed her breasts. They were so full and soft, it felt like they were melting through his fingers, and her hard nipples pleasantly slid along the surface of his palms. The four petals of her snake pussy clamped down on his dick, swallowing his entire shaft inside of her, and his speed increased, pumping into her. Her unique vaginal lips were so long that even as he thrust back and forth, his whole penis was completely enmeshed inside of her no matter what.

Her hair flowed violently with each primal movement from the two of them. She cried out, her voice nothing so delicate as the dulcet tones she used to seduce him, but a voice unashamed and sinister, knowing her conquest of the dragoon was complete and she was free to do as she wished with him. He submitted to the undeniable pleasure and mind numbing sensation akin to love that overcame him, bellowing his own roars of triumph at fucking such a beautiful woman.

He felt himself at his limit. But he would not climax just yet, and he was determined to enjoy her to his heart's content before he gave out. Even with her beautiful ass jiggling in front of him with every thrust, he was resolute.

Yet he sensed that she was ready to climax herself. Intent on making this orgasm special, he quickened his pace, feeling her tail tighten around his waist and his dick.

"Now my love, give me your warmth!" It was a command as much as it was dirty talk. His hips jerked on their own, and he felt the vagina around his dick convulse in a fit of unmistakable climax. It was almost like his body was acting on its own, and his penis spewed several spurts of hot juicy semen into her reptilian anatomy. He saw and felt the tail crushing his dick trembling and shake considerably, sucking the jizz deep inside of her.

When it was over, she uncoiled from around him and lied down on the ground. He also took a moment to finally sit after all that. He could see his lance in his peripheral vision, and he felt stupid for ever feeling in danger around this gorgeous creature. Some bits of his cum were still seeping from the tail pussy, her petals not yet having fully closed. The creature slithered on over to him and looked him deep in the eyes.

"I want you to face your trial tomorrow," she said. "You will purge yourself of whatever doubt and virtue you have left in your heart. Then we will do this again, for the rest of your life." Those words sparked something dark and powerful inside of him. It was strong enough to kill whatever guilt he felt for submitting to Golbez. He was not a holy warrior having moved past his transgressions like Cecil, and he did not need Rosa as a partner by his side. This new role was his destiny and she was his prize.
