Tales of the frienemies.

Astaroth had just left from his encounter with Gabriel, the bastard ripped his arms off. Luckily he was a demon, so he could regrow them back.Which was what he was trying to do, having them half back, sitting and just try to relax.That and how he would warn his blue devil friend, hoping Gabriel not get to the little guy first. He was already regretting ever letting Zantro get in the middle of this, shaking his head. He would lay back and just tried to focus on getting better, plotting.

While he was plotting, a figure appears from black flames. They lick about the area of which the figure appeared. Dancing through the air and around the figures form, then slowly turn to smoke, Astaroth growled as he saw the dark figure . "Oh so now you decided to come. now I am worth your time." he snide. Voltaire move closer to Astaroth, looking him over, his face expressionless. Astaroth just stared at the chimera, watching them, waiting for an answer. Voltaire looks up to him "Astaroth." he spoke in a smooth tone. "You look worse for wares. Now how are you to protect that little blue tiefling, if you have no arms?" Astaroth knew Voltaire was all about mind games, so he wouldn't give in to anything.He kept his face blank and shrugs "The boy can look out for himself, I am not his guardian." Voltaire would lightly chuckle.

"Can't fool me Astie."he smirk, Astaroth growled lowly.  "That boy is to you, as Gabriel is to me. We are not so different you and I. We are both collected beings, with crazy trouble magnetic children.Though I am guessing you want to talk about Gabriel." staring to the armless demon. Astaroth would sneer some "Ya sept you fucking sent me away." Voltaire shrug lightly "I was on vacation." Asaroth rolled his eyes "Ah so Caine leaves and you decided to just go on vacation. Leave the brat without guidance." Voltaire stared at him with no emotion again "You did the same to your tiefling." Astaroth shook his head "He is not the same as those to crazies. " Voltaire nods slowly "uh huh." 

Astaroth go on "So are you going to fix that nut job?" Voltaire smirked" you going to fix you sex fiend?" Astaroth gave a deadpan look "Serious, not playing games." Voltaire looks around and would shrug "I will fix the boy to a point.However this amulet fix you did, you have to fix him back to his adult self." Astaroth smirk "He has the tools to fix himself, he needs his mind fix and you know why." Voltaire nods "Yes to keep him from becoming Caine. You know I have recently taken Star under my wing to train."

Astaroth sighs "Finally." Voltaire smirked "Yes well he came to me.Seems you finally got through to him.I will be training him, can your tielfing distract Gabriel?He gets lonely and I don't want him to feel that way." Astaroth smiled "You really do care for that boy." Voltaire looks at him "The same way you care for yours. Between Nine and Gabriel I prefer Gabriel. No one sees what I see in him, he has so much potential. He is a free spirit and deserves to live as such.I am sure you feel the same about your bard." Astaroth was silent, he wasn't about to admit he like the kid to Voltaire.Then Voltaire did admit his feelings on Gabriel.He look away and just remain collected, though Voltaire snickers "Hit the nail right on the head." Astaroth would raise a nub "Hey use that mind ability and figure out what my hand is doing." he smirk.

Voltaire looks at him and acts shocked "Why Astaroth, you don't need to do such motions in front of me.I know I am beautiful,but really compose yourself." Astaroth snarled "I'm giving you the fucking finger." Voltaire adds "Shall I sit and spin on it too?" Astaroth snark back "If you like, might be fun to have a Chimera for a cork screw." They stared at each other for a moment, in a dead on staring match. Then both bust into laughter a moment and then grew silent at the same time, staring back "I will fix gabriel and give him the tools to help his own mind. You will fix his body, then I shall prep Star to beat Caine and you shall be free." Astaroth smiled "I will gladly accept my souls for payment." Voltaire stared at him "Listen well little demon, you may be old and may be once of the celestial, however you do not get to demand of death a soul for payment from my generosity in helping you free.Or else I will have you enslaved in the void and don't think I can't." with that he left the same as he came.

Astaroth snarled " Fucking chimera." he would lean back and just go back to relaxing and plotting to prepare Zantro. He knew he needed to make sure the bard to keep safe from Gabriel with the beast out. Atleast till Voltaire could fix the boy, he didn't want him to shred the blue devil.

Tales of doubt

 The bard was pissed off, he would move about from the shop. He was displeased with Gabriel, not wanting the link between them, but not wanting it gone either. Instead he would wait, he knew eventually Star would come back to the shop. So he linger around until the vaasimir returned, when he saw Star he would run up to him. "Hello there violent one." he tell him. Star looked at saw the Tiefling and narrow his eyes "Oh are you home delivering to ,me now?" The bard rolled his eyes " ha.ha." he told him. He would move around Star "You..don't belong anywhere do you?" he ask bluntly.

Star blinks to him, at the randomness of the question "I have my family." Zantro smirked "Oh yes your uncle Gabriel..the one who wants torpor." Star narrowed his eyes "What makes you say that?" Zantro looks at him "Oh he was begging my friend he tried to hurt for her to knock him out, put him in eternal rest...or whatever torpor that slumber." Star stared at the Tiefling and just didn't want to believe that. However the doubt Astaroth had in him started bubbling back up.

"He wouldn't do that." he told the Tiefling. Who pulled out a ball "This is a special little magic trinket, I so love it.I use it to see things, especially past things." He hold it up to Star "He even claim you are just a peasant, that you work like one." He smirk some. Star growled some and looked at the ball, seeing his uncle interact with the Tiefling and a hybrid. Listening to the conversation going on, then watched the Tiefling jump to the next part. 

Gabriel walked over to Zantro "We need to talk later." Zantro look to him "No we willl not. I am not taking the blame for your mistakes anymore." Gabriel getting mad and just turns to walk to the hybrid "I need you to knock me out, I can't myself."How Zantro went off on his uncle, how Gabriel seem to want it, even when compared to Caines.

Star looked rather hurt at this, he took a deep breath "How can I even be sure I am seeing this right?" Zantro move to him and purred "He's always been mean to you, even when you are nice to him.Why he is ready to abandon you rather fast.He will never see you as family."he whisper to Star. "You will always be..just a hybrid thing to him. Like me, you will never be seen as anything else." The bard frown to that though, adding "I know what it is like to not belong. "Star backed up and just furrow his brow.

Star could till hear Astaroth possessed Gabriel words in his head.He closed his eyes and just tried to not think his uncle could do such. However Zantro would continue "I'd confront him if I was you. Stop letting him push you around, you are not a kid anymore. He should respect you, what you do.He should stop these selfish needs of his, remind him he needs you.You don't need him." he then walk off "Just food for thought hun." winking as he left Star in doubt now. 

Zantro cackle as he walked through the undercity, until grabbed and pulled to an alley way. He look at saw Astaroth "I told you to stay away from them, they are dangerous." he growled. Zantro whimper some "Its ok, I can do this.I will help you get free." he told him. Astaroth blink a moment "I don't need your help." Zantro stared at him "I am yours sir...I will help free you, even if it is being your tool."Astaroth leans to him "Becareful your words boy, remember last time you let someone use you." Zantro purred to him "Astie, I want this.I want to help you I can handle it. Let me, please get back at these fools for you.I am using what you told me.I already am getting to the vampire and I just put doubt in the half breed." Astaroth sighed, having high hopes for Star, but he was a little proud at Zantro.

He really was acting like a demon, he would sigh some "Fine, but be careful.I can not help you always." he told him. Zantro nods to him "Don't worry I have friends who can.I want to do this for you." Asstaroth smirked. "Fine, but if I tell you otherwise obey and do not question." Zantro nod to him. "No problem." he told him and grins. Astaroth would then say "They doubt each other as you see, Gabriel is broken already, be careful with him, he is crazy as I said.You have to be tactful, earn his trust." Zantro nods and Astaroth would leave, as Zantro then moves to walk off, whole his plan was in motion.

Tale of possible freedom

 Azeract woke up and stretched, he was getting ready for his day. Got dressed, tried to fix his hair. He would head out to the desk and found tea and biscuits for him, with a note saying so from Teldar. Azeract sips his tea and then went over the papers that showed what books needed to be gathered for customers, what needed to be set up. He looked over every thing and then had a hand slide up under his shirt, touching his back and then slide to the front. Edging around the tip of his pants, Azeract almost spilled his tea leaning forward " Ah~ Z-Zan...stop." the bard rest his chin on Azeract shoulder "Aw, but I feel like we are getting so close." Slowly moved his hand, but kept close to him.


Azeract set his tea down  "You better get back to work before Teldar gets you." he warn him. Zantro would chuckle and turn Azeract around "Oh come on live a little, don't be so serious all the time." leaning into Azeract neck. The hybrid was pushing at Zantro " Seriously I don't..." but Teldar showed and grabbed him by his hair and threw him into the cart they brought of books. Zantro hissed some " Fun killer." Moving off as Teldar talk to Azeract. He would start to set up the books and places some in the wrong spot on purpose. While he was moving around, he ran right into someone he knew "O-Oh Astie..hi." the demon was in a different form, tall blonde haired vampire who went by stellan. "And how did you, pray tell, end up locked here?" Zantro blushed and look down "Ok it was my fault, but I am working on it." Astaroth rolled his eyes "Damn right you are. Seriously I have told you about your curse. You need to control it and your emotions better."

Zantro sighs and put up more books "I know...I will work on it.I'm sorry." Astaroth just shook his head " Don't apologies. I do think this place is good for you, books. I hope you are reading them and not just ..." moved to replace a book Zantro purposely misplaced "Doing stupid tricks." he then looks at Zantro "Stop goofing here, I have your ticket out." he told him. Zantro perks "However, not yet.Not till you learn to control the curse better." Zantro frowns "You know what happens if I don't feed it." Astaroth grip the bards chin and tilt his head up "Yes, you can feed while controlling it, learn.I can't always get you out and protect you."

Zantro nods to him and then Astaroth moved to walk off "I have much work to do, so I won't let you out of here till..well certain things are handle and locked up. Once that happens I will give you what you need to please the owner, then you will go free." he tells him. Zantro looks up to him "Would we hang out again?" he ask. Astaroth smiled "Lets say we will celebrate your new freedom." Zantro smiled and Astaroth left. He then finish with the books and saw the time. He went eat lunch with Teldar and Azeract.

Hours passed and it was closing time, Zantro was tidying up and Aeract came to join him. He move to grab the bard and kiss him. Zantro blushed some and chuckles wrapping his arms around him "Mmmm what about Teldar?" Azeract smiled" I told them to go to bed.I already finished cleaning and you look done, so how about we go read some books or relax and talk more.I really enjoy hearing about you. " Zantro pulls Azeract to where their rooms are "No tonight is your turn to talk to me.I want to know about you." Azeract smiled "Ok...I...just..its not happy story." Zantro laugh "and mine was?" they both cackle on their way to just lay down and enjoy each others company.

Tales of Teldars day

Teldar woke up and stretched for the new day. They would do their daily routine, get up then do a series of stretches and off to meditate. After about an hour of silent meditation,they would then move make some tea, get dressed, do their hair and then drink their tea. Moving out of their room and heading down the stairs, they would enjoy the peace of the library. The others were sleeping as it was very early and they needed some quiet time. They would move about the library and set up for opening, dusting the aisle and putting up the books Azeract didn't get to, probably cause of Zantro. They even reorganize some shelves, cause Zantro sometimes like to misplace books and see how long it takes Teldar to notice.

Teldar moved to open the door and grab the packages that get left daily, boxes of books and even a few with really rare ones. Today was a good day as they had a small box with the others, small boxes were often good sign. Moving them to the backroom where they process all the books, knowing Azeract be up soon.They would move and make them tea as well, a nice energize herbal mix they came up with. Moving and placing them on a counter for Azeract with some biscuits and a note, stating they were for him. Moving back to the back room, they began to unpack the boxes. They pulled out one of MANY log books they had, that let them know what all books they had come and go in this place.

They began writing each book down, searching for authors and giving descriptions of the books.Putting them in order where they want them to go, what section or class they put them in. Teldar had their own system in the library, unlike any other place. One of the reason people love going to it, one they had the LARGEST book collection and two they had a beautiful order to it. Teldar moved and after finishing two large boxes, they put them on a cart and then wheeled them out. Heading to the front, to put them by the counter for Azeract or Zantro to put up. However the silence was broken as they heard the bard being lewd to Azeract. Who was stammering trying to evade the moves and was caught pinned between the bard and then counter. Teldar who moved so silently, would swiftly grab the bards hair and yank back. Causing a moan to come out, they look at him "Put the books up, this should keep you busy for a hour or two." shoving Zantro into the cart.

Zantro grumbled and growled some, muttering under his breath as he wheeled the cart. Azeract was red face and lowered his head. "Sorry, if he is too much.I can make him only stay in the back." Azeract shook his head "No...he's not so bad.Just a little crazy at times." he chuckle nervously. Teldar nods slowly "Well I am going to prepare some lunch then, please let me know if you need help" Azeract smiled "I will."

Teldar then moves to the back, heading to the kitchen in this place, they would then grab some things. Lettuce, eggs, some cheese, even had a dressing they made. They grab a few more things and make a salad. Even made a bowl for Zantro, making some tea and added a little sweet treat for the two. Teldar would move and put everything one a tray and head out, there was a special place in the library that had a little garden. Teldar so loved it, why they put it in there. Setting the table, they could hear Azeract and Zantro coming for food. Again Zantro was trying to put the moves on Azeract,w ho seem to stammer and blush. Teldar clear their throat and gave a sharp look to the pair. Zantro sighed and went to be good, tried to sit next to Azeract. However Teldar pointed to his chair and Zantro groaned and moved to it. Teldar sat and the group ate the food, always a little verbal fight break out cause Zantro take it to far in words. Teldar just being the calm mediator, they just spoke up and then broke the argument.

After which when the two went back to work, they gathered everything. Head to the back and washed and cleaned up their mess, they like to keep everything tidy. Then back to the books in the back, going through two more boxes and headed back up for them to be put away. This time they saw Agnes and decided to help her. This time she was looking a book in minor magic, they moved and grabbed it for them and help process the check out.

Then they headed back and finished processing the other large boxes and went up front. "So this is the last of the big boxes, Zantro you can put them up." they moved and locked the library up "Azeract you can go ahead and relax." Azeract smiled and says "Thats fine I will finish closing up, you should relax. "Zantro mutter something about the librarian being lazy. Azeract just smiled at Teldar "Well that is sweet Azeract, I mean you don't have too." but Azeract shook his head "No no its fine."Teldar smiled and then move to head off. They head back to their place in the library, it was like a fully functional apartment. After all they did live there, Teldar rarely left the place, wasn't a fan of the outside world. Teldar would go and meditate and get ready for bed. They realized they never actually open the small box, figured it be a nice delight tomorrow. Moving and got into bed and would go to sleep, ready to do it all over again.

Tales of The red eye vampire

 Gabriel had stormed out of the shop, his nephew all detoxing off the blue devil boy blood.  From the cruel way Star spoke, to watching him weakly beg for more blood. It got to him some, he didn't know what he could do to ease his nephew pain.He knew that he had to keep him off the tiefling blood, that damn bard. Gabriel moved through the city and thought to get blood, but he needed to change his outfit. He was sure this would not do, what if he ran into that damn half devil boy. Figuring a kimono and more eastern style hair was not good enough to evade the bard.

While he was all in his head, he ran right into the damn bard,who also seem to wear a more Bushido type outfit himself. Gabriel knew the scent and was instantly mortified "even when I avoid you I run into you." The bard looked at him and groaned " SAME!" Gabriel looked confused "What do you mean same.." then it hit him,they were still near the shop.He needed to get the bard away, so he grabbed his arm and dragged off with him. " HEY NOW! You are sending alot of mix signals."

Gabriel groaned and was trying to fight the feelings that this imp inflicted on him. Something about him made him want his blood and to just go off with him to his parties. "Excuse me! Hey you are hurting my arm, if you wanted to sling me around thats what alleys are for.If you are well getting bi curious.." he let a soft moan. Gabriel threw the bard against the wall "LISTEN! Stop with this ...this.." the bard groans and then leans in to lick up Gabriels face. This only mortified him and he jump back "UGH! What is wrong with you?" wiping his face.

"I told you before I am cursed, but you never listen. No one listens to a tielfing, now if you are not looking to ravage me, I have a party to attend." Blinks and just assume he was going to go after Star, he grab one of the braids of the bards hair and yanked him back "Hell no, you don't" a moan escaped the bards mouth, which just made Gabriel more uncomfortable."You...you are coming with me." he picked up the bard. "I do love a man who isn't afraid to take what he wants. However this is ridiculous."

Gabriel hated this, but he needed to distance the bard from Star, trying to ignore the bards words and complaints. Moving as far as he could, moving to a tavern, he could easily dump him there.Just as he though this and was trying to move there, the bard slipped his tail into Gabriels pants. This did not go well as Gabriel threw the bard, who made a yelp and then Gabriel moved fast to grip his throat " Listen here you demonic fuck. You EVER do that again.I will rip your throat out, got it?"

The bard felt Gabriel gripping his throat tight "Why are you doing this? I mean really? You send mix signals." Gabriel growled and says " Look I am only dropping your horny ass at the tavern." The bard groaned "I told you I had a party to go to." Gabriel slammed him against the wall "Not anymore." The bard glared at him "Listens boy if you don't let me go, leave me alone. .." Gabriel laugh" You'll what? Drug me again." The bard stared at him "I have other ways then a paste." Slam his hand into Gabriel chest forcing him to feel how he felt. Gabriel backed off him and shook a little "No...not again." The bard saunter to him "Stay out of my way then babe...unless you play nice. HOWEVER I am not inviting you this time.Have fun.....with yourself dear."

Gabriel felt his fangs grow long and shook his head "y-you are leaving. " The bard turn "Yes and I am not stupid to bring you along again.So that you can cry and whine at how horrible I am. So have fun I am going to my party" Gabriel growl and grabbed the bard and bit into his shoulder. A gasp and moan comes out as his head flung back "Damnit!" he cringed."Ugh why....why are you biting me." panting some. Gabriel finally let go and says "Stay away from Star." the bard blinks and after a rather premature moment.He look at gabriel blushing "IS THAT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?!? You don't even have to tell me, I have been avoiding him. Like serious?Wallow in your own pain." storming off now.Gabriel looked around "Damn...fucking halfbreed ...ugh." he ran off to find some way to relieve himself. How did he just do this with out a paste, seems the bard had been upping his skills.

Tales of the helping demon

  Word had come out about the bards guild burning down, about the massacre that happened there. Some claim it was demons or wraith of the deity that they rumored to have a statue of. Some always believed the guild was a front and not a true bards guild at all, that it was really a illegal brothel. However it was gone and some were happy and others not so much. Off in a tavern nearby, in the darker corner of it was a male who looked elven, next to him a blue devil boy. "You know you are free now and can, I don't know, just go do what you want." The bard stared at him "I know, just I ...haven't been out in so long and I am not sure I can cope in this world." he look around. The elf sighs "I am not a mentor." the bard sighs "I know, but can I just please hang around you for a while.I promise I won't get in the way and I will even help you." the elf thought a moment and ponder.

The bard adds "I owe you for my freedom, so I do need to repay you." the elf rolled his eyes "Fine. I want souls. You do as I say and listen. I don't like idiots and I will not think twice about abandoning you or leaving you in troubling hands.I am a demon, never forget this." The bard nods fast "I promise." the elf didn't know if he regret this and part of him felt a little kindred to this spirit. A being that didn't belong and yet a survivor. He figure maybe he could mold the tiefling some, get him to tilt more to his demonic nature as much as his human nature. Staring at the blue devil boy as he seem to beam, the elf rolled his eyes. "Lets go, not smart to stay in a town were we just killed a bunch of people." getting up the bard follow, smiling.

Couple of years had past and the bard had come into being the hedonistic thing most knew him as. He was throwing one of the many parties he tend to throw. Having some fun with a beautiful girl, who was enjoying the taboo of being with a tiefling. Right as she seem to be well hitting her high point, the demon took her soul. Soon a whiny sound was heard "ASTIE!!!!!I wasn't done with her!" he shout. Astaroth raised a brow "she's still alive just..souless." The bard tossed her to the side, as she was more a husk now "YOU KNOW ITS NOT THE SAME!" Astaroth rolled his eyes "Fine I will wait till you are done next time.Only cause you are just annoying when you whine." The bard still pouted" but Astie." Astaroth clamped his hand on the bards mouth "Stop calling me that. I have told you, must be like a hundred times to stop." slowly letting go. "Austie...I told you its a term of endearment."

Astaroth growled "What did I tell you I was?" the bard pokes his forefingers together "That you are a demon." Astaroth narrow his eyes "Yes and so what in that mind of yours thinks I care about endearments?" the bard looks up at him with a pouty lip "I know..but just cause you can't feel such doesn't mean I don't. Its an endearment from me." Astaroth face went blank and he let a sigh out. "Fine." the bard jump and hugged the demon who growled "GET OFF!" the bard just spoke out "OH ASTIE YOU DO CARE! YOU WON'T ADMIT IT BUT YOU CARE!" Astaroth growled and was regretting to letting the bard get away with the nickname "UGH! I do not care I am a demon damnit." he shoved the bard back onto the bed. To which the bard laid there all seductive "Oh Astie you are so strong." the demon just shook his head.

Astaroth had left the bard to finish his hedonism party, while the bard was getting off, Astaroth had received word from someone. He was reading the paper over and then crumble it in his hands growling "Bastard." the bard comes up  "Who?Hey I cleaned up and I even delivered the souls to you this time." holding a bottle up "like you showed me." Astaroth frowns "I am afraid this is where we part ways.I can not bring you with me this time." The bard frowns "Did I do something wrong?" Astaroth smirk" what did I say about stupid questions?" the bard sighs "why?" he then frown some and pat the bard on the head "Don't worry you can call me if you get in trouble, but I have to go after a vampire. I will still check in on you, you do have a debt to pay and all."though the bard had long paid that debt. He just didn't want to admit he like the little guys company, he then move to leave "Just try not to get in trouble, there is limits to even me." staring at the bard, who would nod to him "Ok." though the bard was heart broken. Astaroth could see that and it was something he didn't feel, but he gave the bard a smirk and headed off to heed Caines call and go after this vampire named Nine.

Tales of a deep talk

Azeract had been working in the library for a while now and curious about the bard more and more.He would move out of his room and to the door of the bards room. He knew he would probably regret it, however he wanted to know more, where was he from, why was he like he was? Taking a deep breath and knocks on the door. There was a crash sound and then a voice "Who is it?If its you Teldar fuck off!" Azeract blinks some and then spoke up some "Oh um..its me Az." there was a frantic sound, like someone trying to straighten up fast. Soon the door open and Zantro was leaning against the door way "Why hello....finally come around?" wiggling his brows. Azeract stared at him "Can you ever just have a normal conversation with someone? Without trying to seduce or fuck them?" he looked annoyed now and then says "Never mind this was a mistake."Zantro grabbed Azeract arm "Wait!" he told him. Azeract glance back and listen "I guess I am not use to people just wanting to talk. Please come in and I'll only mildly mess with you.I can't promise anymore then that."


Azeract sided and says " Fine...I want answers first." moving in, Zantro smiled wide and shut the door "Oh yes." he then moved and saw Azeract sit on the couch in his room. So he sat at the other end "What did you want to talk about?" staring at the hybrid. Azeract look down "I want to know more about you, if thats ok?" Zantro then look away and shifts "Well I am a  tiefling and a bard and.." Azeract huff "No I mean..you know what I mean. I know how you got here, but like...what made you want to be a bard, what was your family like? Was it hard being a tielfing and growing up?" Zantro got silent a moment, watching him closely. "I just...never been ask this. I mean Teldar for their books. However never like on a personal level."He then glare "You are not working for Teldar are you? Cause they has to earn it." Azeract shook his head "No.I just want to get to know you.I know for me being a hybrid was hard." Zantro then nods some "I was an orphan." he told him. Azeract frowns "Oh, was that hard?" Zantro shrugs "Not to bad, I mean there was this nice nun lady. She always give me sweets and read books. She taught me to read and write and play instruments. We play for the kids, I didn't have friends though. Kids can be cruel, so I spent time with her, cleaning the place and helping. One day we got a bard coming through, he sang songs and told stories.He wasn't even human and it was great cause I was in a mostly human town. I wanted to be a bard after that, I wanted to be one soo bad." He stared at the ground in thought.

Azeract nods "I see you became one." Zantro smiled faintly "I paid a high price though."
Azeract look confused "what do you mean?" Zantro looks at him "So I grew up and left my town.I went to the nearest city, I found the bards guild. When I went inside, I was the only tiefling there. At first they denied me, but I begged. Begged like the low life I was, I just wanted to be a bard and I thought I needed the guild to show me. Finally the guild master, he broke down, only when I said I'd do anything.He repeated that to me and I agreed.I was so young and stupid.They collared me and owned me, the collar it was magic. I couldn't ever leave the guild,they could bind me to a room.They kept restraint cuffs on me at all times. They stripped me down, had their way, gagged me if I screamed. They beat me for fun, if a bard didn't get lucky I was to serve and not complain or even speak.I was to be seen not heard.I clean the guild, I never got rest. They force me to do whatever they wanted." he took a deep breath fighting back some tears. Azeract frowns and scoot closer to put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

He look back to him "They did this for years, till all I knew was to obey.I didn't have much in hope, my spirit was broken and never not once did they teach me anything but to be a whore. I learn everything from watching and only then realize I never needed them. In the end, when I was as the guild master put it all used up to them, I wasn't fun for them to hurt anymore. They sacrifice me to their god, he was of pleasure and other things. They had this room with a  statue, I didn't die, but wish I had. I thought I knew what all that was, but he open me up to it. If I  complain of pain, he change me to enjoy it. He over powered me with pleasurable feelings, I learn to enjoy it." Azeract was starting to understand him now "I see, so you are doing has you been alter to do." Zantro nods.

"I can't stop, I am unable. They cursed me and now I just...live like this. Of course after the god was done and left that room, the guild grabbed me and made a scene of me. Lucky me a demon came to the guild one day.He was after one of the members, I don't know if he truly took pity on me or if he just saw a sorry soul begging to break free.He offer me a deal and I took it, he got me free. Killed all the members and had me help him take on the guild master. When I went to leave, he told me to use what they use to hurt me and own it. I have and I never plan to let anyone ever take advantage of me again.I am the one who engages and starts it." Azeract hugged Zantro "I am sorry. I know what it is like to have people force themselves on you, to beat you and break you. I am sorry you went through that and I get it now." Zantro smiled and of course leans and kisses Azeract. Who let him a moment and then broke it "Now now..I said a little." Zantro grins and let his tail snake around Azeract "Did you get revenge on those who hurt you?" he ask.

Azeract blush and says"No my friend Star did for me.He tortured them and made them pay." Zantro leans against Azeract neck "Sounds like a good friend." Azeract blush more "Yeah he is." Zantro cuddled onto the hybrid, wrapping his arms around him "Can I cuddle you tonight?" Azeract thought a moment and says "Um sure..but thats it.I fear if I let you have sex you won't let me sleep. " Zantro laughed "I mean I can go for like a days. Thanks to my curse. " Azeract chuckles nervously "I believe you."Zantro pulled to move him to the bed. "I am sure if Teldar catches me on you, they will smack me." Azeract smiled"I won't let them." cuddling with the tiefling as they talk all night and just snuggled sweetly.

Tales of tea time

 Azeract was relaxing on his bed, working in this library had been a pretty exciting job. It was never dull, especially with Zantro around.The bard always caused some trouble or tried to flirt and seduce everything that came into the library. It was quite comical to watch Teldar and Zantro go at each other. Even if Teldar was more collected about doing so, often Azeract wonder how Teldar handle the bard. Sometimes his thoughts answered when he see Zantro bounded and gagged by the counter with signs saying what he had done.Other times he wonder when Zantro was missing for a day and even though Teldar say he was working on something away from eyes, Azeract was sure there was something to that. Since Teldar seem never mad with him, he was happy he didn't have to find out.

A knock was heard at the door and Azeract sighs "Zantro I am not in the mood to combat you away, while you want to talk." there was silence for a moment, which cause Azeract to sit up in his bed. Raising a brow and then a knock was heard again, he got up and cracks the door open. Seeing Teldar with a tray that had a tea set on it. The pot had steam coming out of the spout faintly, there was even some biscuits on there. "I am not the bard."they said calmly "I locked his room tonight." Azeract blink some and open the door "Oh I'm sorry..." Teldar shrugs "Its fine, I mean he is close to your room and I am sure he harasses you often." Azeract then step to the side "Oh um come in and he's not to bad.When he wants to actually talk and not..well get handsy."

Teldar nods  "Agreed, he is nice person to talk to, just only when he is bound and not able to be lewd."they moved in and set the tray a table that was in the room. It was a decent size room, big enough for a lounge space and a sleeping space. Azeract sat at the table and smiled, he did love it when Teldar brought tea over. "I don't know what herbs you use, but you make the best tea." They smiled as they poured him a cup.Setting out honey for them to use if they so chose "I figure you may want some and plus I was curious if you would well, muse me." Azeract stared at them and tilt his head "Muse you?" Teldar chuckles "Yes, you said you are a hybrid and I was wondering if it be ok if I ask about that. I am well sort of writing a book on unique beings such as hybrids and well wondering if you like yours told? I mean if not I can just leave it out, but still like to know you better."

Azeract smiled "Wow, no one has ever ask me about me, I...sure.Maybe your book will help Hybrids not be hated so much." Teldar still smiled" That is the goal, maybe if people better understood." Azeract sips his tea and even grab a biscuit "Ask away then." Teldar would watch him close and ask "Well lets that with the basic, what was your father and mother?" Azeract pondered a moment and says "Well my mother was a celestial, an angel. My father however, I was never fully certain what he is, I don't think even he understands it. Best I was told is that he is a chimera." Teldar lite up a moment "A chimera? Oh how very interesting. Do you possess traits from both parents or do you only take after one? Like in powers? Also who do you look like more, your father or your mother?" Azeract would think thoughtfully as he nibble his biscuit.  Teldar watched and just waited, Azeract then spoke up after washing the biscuit down "I take more after my mother power wise, I do have a few traits of my father, like I can turn my hand into  a claw or that I can skillfully hide my wings. I can change my hair color which I believe is a trait of my fathers too, but I have more celestial powers. As far as looks goes, my twin sister say I look like our father."

Teldar perk "Twin? You are a twin?" Azeract nods to him "Yes I am.She took after our father and looks more like our mother." Teldar muse "How interesting, does she have wings too?Also why do you hide them?" Azeract would smile faintly "No she doesn't and well alot of people back home tried to take them from me. You see while I can heal fast, my wings will never regrow if they are cut from me.I can't lose them." Teldar nods "I understand that, perhaps when you trust me enough I might see them.Only though when you are comfortable." Azeract nods "Thanks..maybe I will. " Teldar then went on "Could you tell me about your parents?" Azeract stop smiling and looked away. "My father wasn't around much, my mother didn't like him near us. She was not a nice person, she always told me I shouldn't have existed and that I should let the bullies beat me for existing. My sister said its probably cause I look like our father, but my sister never got along with her either. Our mother feared her, but me...I'm not a fighter.I mean I can fight, I just hate it."

Teldar reached and touch Azeracts shoulder "I think this is a good stopping point on this, I can tell it still hurts.Plus you've given me alot."they smiled wide. Azeract smiled back "Yeah sorry I didn't mean to kill the mood." Teldar waved their hand "You did not. Besides we can have conversation on other things." Azeract drinks his tea more and smiled, they spent the night conversing on books.

Tales of the outside world

  Once again our tale takes place and starts in the library, with Azeract at the front desk and Zantro next to the desk bound up and gagged.He had a sign around his neck that says 'I will not molest my coworkers or customers.' Azeract had ask Teldar about Zantro, but was told not to worry and got a head pat. So there they were waiting up front, Azeract documenting things for Teldar.  The bells chimed as someone entered, walking up to the counter. In comes a witch, he was slender build, but he made up in spells for that. His eyes were two tone, blue and brown, his skin was gorgeously dark. Hair was pink and shaved around his head, accept for his right side, it was long and wavy. Length was just past his jaw and before his shoulder.  He had a black small pointed hat, and his wardrobe was quite interesting. Long black sheer baggy cardigan, with a baggy tank that look dark and iridescent, his pants leather and tight to his form.He had a leather black satchel, which house some sell books and things.His face was androgynous and soft in features, eyebrows well define.You could tell he took great pride in his looks and why shouldn't he?He was beautiful male, when he reached to the counter, he smirked.

He knew Zantro and Zantro knew him, Azeract hearing the bard laughing some.Made the hybrid confused, but he smiled "Hello welcome.How may I help you?" Azeract said sweetly, the witch smiled back "So sweet, you are new here. Also so very handsome, I am sure you can help me." leaning on the counter, half lidded. Azeract blush and says "I..I can if you tell me what book you seek." The witch still grinning "I have a book on hold that Teldar found for me. I have the money for it, also..."he pause a moment, looking Azeract up and down "I would like a book on crystals." he said in a soft tone. Azeract nods "Ok." he look at Zantro and well he couldn't get help from him, so he just waved the male to follow as he first go grab the crystal book. They head to the section housing many books of the matter "What kind are you looking for?" The male leans to the shelf and looks at each one carefully "I'll know it when I see it." Azeract look a little confused, but smile"Ok then." the witch then adds " You can grab the other book, I'll meet you upfront." giving him a wink. Azeract smiled and blush a little and moves to grab the book.

He did meet the man up at the counter, they were speaking quietly to Zantro, even though the bard couldn't talk back.Then they stood straight up and smiled to Azeract, pulling out a coin purse and setting it on the counter "This should be enough." Azeract smiled and took the purse and said "Would you like me to wrap them?" He smiled and says "No..I have my satchel." he pat and goes to put his books in it. "Its so small though."Watching the books go right in "Oh its a bag of holding." The witch smiled" Yes." he then held out his hand "Well we should know each other names, since I do come here alot. I'm Salem." Azeract shook his head"Oh I am Azeract." Salem still smiled "Wow that is a really neat name." then Salem turn and says "Always a pleasure to see you Zantro." he snorts "Tell Teldar I said hi."and left.

He moved out of the library and headed down to the mages guild, curious to how those morons were going to handle the plight hitting this city. It seem someone had poison the water, but while everyone assume it a spell or herbs, Salem thought maybe it was a crystal, that had been enchanted. He was know for thinking outside the box, what made him powerful. He slipped into the guild and went to the back, as he wanted to observe. He was sure they had by now figured out the source or hot spot of the poison. Listening as all the older mages fought, his familiar moving its way to him. Salem had a bearded dragon for a familiar, he called Zandar. The climbed his jacket and onto his shoulder to plop its head under his hair and jawline. Salem smiled "I know, I am not a fan of them either." He then caught wind that there was more cases near the fountain. Now that didn't mean it was the fountain, Salem knew. However most of everyone else agreed to head there and start chanting. When the left, Salem would head to the lower part of the city, below the fountain was the poor and rough part of the city, the undercity. He was sure it was here, who would care for these people. He moved to a pipe near a wall and just as he suspected. It had been messed with before "look Zandar they didn't even bother to put the piece they cut." then ponders" giving the current is strong, I bet it is in the center of the sewer system. Great, looks like we will be heading to the spa after this."

He head to the entrance to the sewers and walked along the edge, following the water till it led him to the center. He could tell right of this was the place, it gave bad vibes and Salem being more attune to water, he could see it wasn't healthy.Not that sewer water was, but he saw the off color, moving to find it concentrated. He would then grab the two books he bought and set them to the side with Zandar. While he sighs  "Oh this is going to ruin my hair.I guess it is time for a new do." he dive in and goes for the crystal, pulling it out. It was blacken from the curse. Salem made a face and cough "UGH! I am too good for this city Zandar. I will leave this place, but for now..have to keep it safe.Almost have enough stuff and money to get us out of here." He would then flip threw the books and set them up.Pulling out other crystals and made a circle around the sick one.He would then fold his legs and start to chant. Making all the crystals glow and shine onto the sick one, his chanting strong and loud. Soon the black was disappearing and the crystal was turning white and then clear. When Salem finished, he put everything in his satchel and sighs.Putting Zandar on his shoulder "Come on, lets go see the merman. He always knows how to take care of us, I am sure he will be livid though." laughing as he moved out of the sewer to the well deserve spa.

Tales of Agnes the Orc

  It was a slow day in the library, though most days tend to be. This was a especially slow day, Zantro was leaning on the counter groaning of boredom, Azeract was happily helping Teldar organize some books. It was a quiet and peaceful day, the kind the bard didn't fancy.Though he fancy leaving the library for once, he would have tried, but he knew what happen. Every time he ever attempted it, he was either met with a invisible wall, shocked and flung back, or knocked out. He'd given up at this point, tail swaying back and forth behind him, oh how he long to go out and play. He look like a moody cat, staring at the glass. Teldar could hear the groaning and rolled his eyes, while Azeract ask "Why is he always in here? I mean I heard him say he can't leave, but like what did he mean?"

Teldar looks to Azeract a moment and sighs "I guess you should know, he'll probably spin the tale as it wasn't his fault, but it was. He came in here one time, I didn't have help back then. So I was working the counter, when I saw him I will admit I was taken back by his unique looks and beauty.He had this swagger about him, but one could tell he was trouble. Now its not unknown to have bards come in here, they often like to raid the poetry section. I assume the same of him, that was my mistake. Instead I caught him and a female elf who I had banned having sex in the aisle. Not only that, but on top of a rare one of a kind book. Destroyed it, pages everywhere.......their....."they made a quick scowl"fluids all over it, ruined the written words." Azeract blinks "Ah so that what he did to the rare book he is always griping about destroying." Teldar nods. "Yes, the girl ran, but Zantro, he stayed.He lean back and ask if I wanted a go at him too. Just another insult in my library, no apology and still not a sincere one yet. So I bound him up with a spell, I ask for his name, cut his jaw, drew a symbol of binding on his chest and bound his soul here.I told him until I felt he repaid the damages he caused, he will work here. That and he has to be good and not destroy anymore books.Also if you catch him in the act of sex in my aisle,tell me, it will add to his punishment."

Azeract blushed and frowns "Oh I am sorry Teldar." They waved a hand "No need for you to apologies, you did nothing. You have actually helped me more then he has, you think, WITH ALL THAT GROANING HE WOULD ACTUALLY WORK HARD TO GAIN HIS FREEDOM!" raising their voice for Zantro to hear. Azeract glance back, though they couldn't see the counter where they were at. Teldar observed Azeract and his mannerism, they found it adorable and quite sweet how much the man could care for others, even ones who pushed his limits.  "You really are a kind hearted being." reaching out to stroke Azeract hair out of his face, he had about jaw length hair and always hide his face behind it."My I ask a question?" they ask. Azeract looking up to Teldar "Oh um sure."giving a small smile . Teldar tilt their head "Why do you hide your face?You bare no scars or deformities, you are actually quite a handsome fellow." Azeract blushed and looks away "O-oh um....people back home, they uh didn't think that."Teldar shook their head "You are not home now, you shouldn't care what others think. However I won't press, but if you ever want to change your style...I'd gladly help." Azeract blush more "I might take you up on that."

Up front Zantro had rolled his eyes to Teldars yell, but then the door open, the bells above chimed to give way. Zantro stood straight, tail wagging slightly of excitement. In comes a tall woman, green skin, that was tight against well toned muscles. She was built rather masculine, tusk coming up out of her mouth.Her hair was black and well kepts, pinned back. She wore leather armor, which told she was a warrior of sorts. She walks to the counter, looking down at Zantro who was trying to look as seductive as possible "Why hello there, what brings such a sultry beast like you in here?" She stared blankly at him "If thats a joke, its poor as you work in a library, so why else would anyone be in here?" her tone had a snark to it. Zantro was abit taken back by the bluntness, yet seem aroused too "Oh I love a woman with wit and can speak her mind." he purred. The orc just says "Good go find yourself one.I however am looking for medicine books, what aisle are they on." Zantro gave an odd look, he wasn't use to brush offs like this. He would try to have a go at her one more time "Well if it is medical you need I..." cut off by the orc "Don't bother finishing it, I am not interested. Its nothing to do with you, so give your ego a rest. I don't find anything sexually attractive.So how about you stop trying to wave your dick about and just tell me where I can find the books I am looking for." Zantro blink and scoffed, but before he could come back, Teldar had shoved him out of the way "Forgive my servant, he has not good manners.I can personally show you where they are. I am Teldar the owner of this building. Perhaps if you told me what you actually need in such books and I promise I can help you find the perfect book." they gave a small bow. The orc smiled" well thank the gods someone has manners. I'm Agnes, I was looking for more like poison type, like how to cure.I often end up in places with poison around."

Zantro mutters "she looks like an Agnes for sure."Teldar grabbed Zantro tail and yanked it "You go help Azeract with what he is doing. DO NOT molest him." they said sternly.All Zantro heard was: go to Azeract, molest him and help him. He skipped off eager to do just that, Teldar raised a brow and then moved to help Agnes "Yes I have just the book, come with me." moving to the aisle where all medical type books are kept "I am assuming you are looking for herbal types and not magic?" Agnes nods to them"Yes, not much of a mage, although I do have a friend good in it, so actually maybe both." Teldar smiled and pulls out a herbal book, that had descriptions and even mixtures in it "This has been the best so far, They only made so many of them, I can sell it to you, but it is quite exspensive." they also pulled out a cleric type book, white with blue inlay. "This here has almost all poison cures.Well all for minor. Majors are hard to find, but if you like I can try." Agnes looks at the books "Money not a problem, I just did a job that paid nicely. Also if you be kind enough I would like that. My friend is trying to become a powerful cleric, so yes that would help.I am willing to pay whatever." Teldar still smiled "I will put out a call and see what I can find. I'll let you know should I ever find one.Please let us go up front so I can get things setup and be able to setup a means to communicate with you should I find the other."

Agnes nods and smiles, heading to the front with them. Azeract however was in a rather awkward spot, Zantro had manage to shove his tail into Azeracts pants and covered the hybrids mouth with his own. It had sort of become Azeract fault, he started to flirt back to Zantro. He did find the man attractive and even let the bard get away with a few grabs, once let Zantro sit in his room and talk. So he could have guess Zantro was bound to get a little more handsy feeling like he had some freedom to do so. Azeract, had weakly tried to fight Zantro off, but part of him didn't want too. He was stuck at the mercy of the bards tail, squirming under him. Clutching a book for dear life, when a sound was heard. Zantro had broke the kiss whimpering. It seem Teldar was finish with Agnes and came back to this.They had the bard by the balls if you will "I told you help him with the book, not help yourself to him." an actual growl emitted from Teldar. Zantro then felt a burn as Teldar mutter some words and the bard went down "AH! " flailing and yet moaning on the ground in a mix of pain and pleasure.

Safe to say his tail released Azeract who wanted to die of embarrassment.He look to Teldar "I-I-I'm sorry I...I tried..but..." Teldar put a finger to Azeract lips "No no..you are innocent here dear one.Come, you can go relax in your  room. Zantro will finish here.I am sorry he got handsy,I will handle him. You just go rest, maybe later I will come by with tea and we can maybe talk about a style you like for you hair?" Azeract still red in the face and had a few tears roll down his cheek "Oh um..ok ..but it wasn't all his fault.I should have push but.." Teldar shh him" Go." Zantro laid on the floor and stared up at Teldar, then gave Azeract a wink. Azeract wasn't sure how Teldar was going to handle that bard, but he trusted they knew how.Moving to head to his room and try to fix himself.

Tales from the Library

  Azeract had been working at the library now for a few days, still trying to get the hang of how things worked. Teldar had their own system and it was one they were proud of, one that was drilled into Zantro. Teldar had checked on Azeract every now and then, however spent their time in the back going through old books. Zantro was moved from front desk to putting book away,Teldar wanted him away from people. They knew Azeract would be professional and not flirt with the people that came in, however often Zantro would still when he come across someone in the aisles. Azeract was to keep track of books that where taken out of the library and the ones brought back, which Teldar was pleased Azeract could read and write, made this job easy.  Azeract was doing some paper work, when a hand slide around his waist, making him jump. However only to have himself pinned against the counter, he glance back to see Zantro "Mmm you are cute when you are working." he purr to him.

Azeract tried to politely push and pry Zantro off him, but the bard only seem to let Azeract turn around, before pinning him again, against the counter. Azeract blushed and squirmed "N-now Zantro...you really need to get back to work and let me be." but the bard lean in to him "You really are cute.Oh I am so glad Tel..." before he could finish, he was yanked off the hybrid. Teldar had Zantro by his hair, causing a moan to come out of the bards mouth. "Azeract I told you if he bothers you, you could call on me." Azeract blush still and look down "I-I know, I just..I didn't want to bother you." Teldar tsk and wiggled his finger. "Now now...I need you to work and if...Zantro is keeping you from that, I need to know." Zantro wincing some and says "Pull harder daddy." causing Teldar to shove the bard away and point at the cart of books. Zantro sighs "Fun killer." moving to push the cart to put the books up.

Teldar looks to Azeract, reached to gently cup Azeract cheek "Never feel like you can't call for help. I am never to busy to help you." Azeract cheeks still red "Oh I uh will remember that." Teldar nods to him and would move to stand next to Azeract. They were glancing over the paper work "You have neat handwriting, thats rare to see in a person." Azeract stared at Teldar, listening as they spoke. "Um thanks." Teldar then places a hand on Azeract shoulder "You are doing a fine job here, don't let Zantro run you off.I'd be quite upset." Azeract smiled to them "Don't worry, it takes more then a um hedonistic devil guy to run me from books." Teldar grinned and then they saw a book to the side and reach over to grab it. Azeract blink and went to speak, but Teldar already was reading it "This is not one of mine..." they mused. "It is very well written though and a story of males loving each other, how quaint." smiling some. Azeract would speak up "Its my book.." Teldar look to him "You wrote this?" Azeract chuckles "No. I uh well a friend...well more like this person who has been a mother to me, she had it written for me. Cause I...well..I prefer males."

Teldar listen kindly to him talk "I see, well then. I take it this is a rare book." Azeract chuckle and blushed "Yeah you could say, its one of a kind." Teldar smiled still "You've taken such good care of it."handing it back to Azeract, when he took the book back, Teldar touched his hand softly for a bit "If you ever want to keep it in a safe place, let me know I would be willing to keep your book in my private collection. Especially since..." looks in Zantro direction "Some people seem good at destroying books, especially rare ones." Zantro blinks and groans "Oye! You have sex on one old rare book and you never hear the end of it." Azeract blinks and stared at Zantro, but felt Teldar hand on his arm and looks to them "I'll remember that."he told them. Teldar then says "Perhaps I can show you my private collection sometime. I think you would appreciate it alot."Slowly moved back from Azeract. "Oh I would like that." Teldar nods to him "Well I have much to do, got some Old rare books that came in, I must catalog them. Um when I am finish, would you be the one to put them up. I rather fine careful hands to handle them." Azeract nods to them "Oh of course sure." Teldar smiled again "You may take your time too and look them over if you like, the room they go in is private and away from the rest since...the last time. So I only let people I can trust in there.Lets say so far you have not given me a reason not to." Azeract blush again and says"Oh well thank you."

Teldar moved to the back, opening the door and disappears. As soon as they did, Zantro was right next to Azeract fast. He lean into the hybrid and nip his ear, causing the poor boy about to fall over and shiver. "AH!" he look at Zantro "Man Teldar likes you...they wants to show you their 'private collection'" he snickered and gave a teasing groan. Azeract blinks and says "I am sure they didn't mean it like that. You are just a perv." Zantro would groan again "nnmmm right you are. You really should visit my room sometime.I know a freak when I see one and you and I could be really fun together." Azeract was bright red, he would fidget now "I-I-I have no idea what....no.....don't you have work to do. " he tried to ignore the bard now. Zantro smack Azeract ass with his tail causing a yelp out and even manage to get a glare. "Such sweet sounds." he tease and heads back to work." So glad you work here, it was boring without you." he told Azeract, before he walked off with the cart once more.

Tales of a wild celebration

Gabriel and Star headed off to celebrate locking Caine away. They decided to go to the tavern, moving and sitting at table. Gabriel flagged down a wrench and ordered drinks for him and his nephew.Giving her a wink, as he would say a few flirtatious words.She blush and heads off to get their order. Star snorts some "You really are a ladies man huh?" Gabriel blinks "Uh of course I am, nothing wrong with showing a lovely lady affection."  Star would shrug "I mean no, but you are corny." Gabriel growled "Oh ok well lets see you then." Gabriel lean back in his chair and waited as the wrench came back with an array of drinks. Star reached grabbing her wrist and pulls her to him, whispering into her ear something, she turn bright red and giggled a little skittered away.

Gabriel blink as he watched the wrench and saw he leave and looks at Star "What did you say?" Star just smirked and grab a glass drinking it. Gabriel narrow his eyes " Ok fine you little shit, be that way." though he smirk some, a little proud. Gabriel poured some blood into his cup and then drinks it.  "Finally we are free.Hows your emotions? Like feeling better still?" curious about his work when he tried to fix Star. Star down his drink and set the empty mug to the side "Yeah fine, I told you already. Stop worrying, we came here to celebrate not dwell on my well being." Gabriel rolled his eyes "ok lets have fun then." Star grab the next mug "Come on old man catch up." Gabriel growled "Hey...I am not old....I am still young.Just not as young as you are." he scoff and then drinks his mug.

After a few glasses the boys were laughing and making a little bit of a scene. Gabriel was lean over talking to a woman at the table next to theirs, Star was  just egging him on. All the while Astaroth was at the counter, he had been watching them since they came in. Yes he did drug the two, he would smirk and move over to them "Hey there guys, you two look like you are having a good time." Both guys look to him and then each other and laughs. Gabriels to Astaroth "We are celebrating." Star nods " Yeah Celebrating." Astaroth looks at Star next. 'Idiot, celebrating a failed attempt.'He made a slight face, but grins "Why if you two are celebrating, I know a place with hot women....."looks back to Star "and men.If you guys would like to come,I mean its pretty exclusive though." acting as if he leave, if they didn't answer fast.

They both look to each other and then said together "YES!" Astaroth smirked 'too easy. though very disappointed in Star.' he then waved for them to follow.Both men got up stumbling a little and followed him. Taking them to a building and walking in, it was a place he had rented out. He was planning something, but figure if they wanted to stupidly celebrate, he'd give them a celebration. Astaroth would have more drinks brought to them, Gabriel look around "oh you were not lying, there is alot of hot ladies.....people...." Star was drinking his drink not even wasting time. Astaroth shook his head and then spotted off to the side that blue devil bastard. He then left Star and Gabriel who wander the place, to get to the bard "Well since you helped me last time, I brought back Gabriel....and a special treat for you. His nephew the little hybrid abomination.He's got celestial blood in him, I know you have a kink for that."The bard giggled and says"mmm I'd say I have a kink for everything, but mm yes. Oh I did want to have fun with that vampire." Astaroth nods "Well they are yours till you no longer wish.Besides I need them busy, I have to go talk to someone." the bard nods "Can count on me."moving to right away send some people to help greet the two. Men and women grabbing at the two, pulling at their cloths off some. Gabriel lean to make out with a really gorgeous looking mer lady, who had a few scales here and there, her body was shapely. He wasted not letting his hand explore that and she allowed him, as she did the same.

Star however was making out between a lovely elven lady and a satyr. Feeling the two hands already all over him, he would try to explore the two. Being pulled away some, while Gabriel was at the mercy of many, not able to tell who was really touching him. The bard walk up "I made something special for you vampire boy. "he snicker and stuck this blood looking paste on his tongue.He then grabs Gabriel's hair and makes out with him.Making the vampire taste the blood paste, causing him to get a little more heated to it. Astaroth hadn't left yet, he watch, planning to use this later. Smirking at how the two easily gave in, celebrating, he was going to give them one hell of one.

Gabriel lost in this lustful pit he found himself in, still locked to the bard, while hands played with his pants and near sensitive items. A groan slipping his lips, soon the bard broke the kiss and left the vampire gasping and blushing. The drugs in the paste taking effect on him, forcing his fangs to grow longer "Yes this drug will bring out that darker side of you and Mmmm I think everyone will enjoy that. " Watching as gabriel bites onto a woman that embraced him, having her cry out. The bard then moved to Star and runs his hands over the man chest, only to get grabbed by his throat. He wasn't suspecting Star to be so aggressive in this state, but he was. He made out with the bard, causing the bard to groan now. Trying to pry away a moment "mmm oh...you are the treat I see.Well hold on, I will keep you for me...." he grinned, star snapped his teeth at him. " Tsk tsk, such an impatient boy.Look your uncle such a good boy, see him complying and giving in." having Star watch as Gabriel was now on the floor in a pit of bodies.

However Star launched and bit the bard, sinking his fangs in, causing a moan to escape.He moved to pin the devil boy down and drink his blood. While the blood didn't send any energy to him, it sure did taste wonderful.He never had such and craved more, just drinking the poor bard down.While the bard did enjoy, he have to wave some people to come and grab and bind the vaasimir down. "ooh you might actually kill me if allowed. That's ok we will gag that beautiful mouth so you don't hurt people.Not as well skilled as your uncle, but its ok...pain is still pleasure."

hours passed in this mess of erotic pleasure, drinking, and drugs. Anytime Gabriel started coming out of it, someone came over with that paste and more drugs to keep him willing. Same with Star, only they just drugged him, as he was pretty aggressive on his own. Every now and then Astaroth come in and check on how the bard enjoyed his toys.He snicker to him "Mmm the vampire is what I thought he be like, such a romantic for sure. And that bite...I have to admit skilled."Astaroth  spoke with a nod" right...well I do want details, of everything when you do finish with them." the bard groans some "nnhmmm feeding your voyeur side?" Astaroth smirked" Could say that." not giving much away to the bard. As much as he enjoyed using the tiefling, he wasn't trusting his plans when there was two beings that could mess with minds. "And of the other?" the bard smirked" He gets a little too excited over my blood, seems abit addicted to it. Can get him to do most what I want, but he's strong will and highly aggressive.I had to gag him." Astaroth raised a brow "interesting." he mused.Glancing back as he watch Gabriel who seem to have lost himself in the lust of the room. Then to Star who seem to still have some control, not much but some."Hmmm." he pondered. The bard then says "I have plenty of room for you as always....feel free to join in." moving as he heads back to the vaasimir, for more fun. Astaroth just took in the scene "seems I learn much."he pull out a enchanted paper and drew on it, laughing some.

Tales of a wild party

  Gabriel was so happy to finally get to spend time with his twin, after their encounter he couldn't wait. He had been begging his brother Nine for years to hang out, to be brothers, to just have fun.However Nine was always uptight and serious, but since Nine came to him first. Express interest in hanging out and doing brother stuff, he was so excited. He went out to scope out a good place and find some hot girls and good blood. Gabriel had gorgeous long black raven hair, skin was pale and flawless.He always dressed so elegantly, showing off his noble side. He walked into a tavern, to check it out, this could be a good spot to drink and have fun. When he moved in, his red hues looked the joint over, a male off to the side was a black haired and average looking.  The man was casually eyeing Gabriel, those grey colored hues seem passive enough. Though deep line a borderline of mischief.

The man watched as Gabriel moved to the other side of the counter and ordered a drink. The man called the bartender over "Here is extra coin if you put this in that mans drink." handing a vial with a hefty coin purse. The bartender ask not a question and did as he was told, moving to put the liquid into the drink. He then brought it to Gabriel, who drank from it without a thought. The man just watched Gabriel, up until a blue skinned devil boy walked in. When the man saw him, he then grinned and got an idea. Of course the bard had women and men around him as always, he finish a ballad and was heading to the tavern for good fun. The bard and his group headed to the back, to a more private setting. The man then looks as Gabriel orders another drink and the man looks to the bartender, sliding another vial to them. The bartender again poured it into Gabriel's drink, sliding it down to the vampire. The vampire was drinking a blood wine, about the only way most vampires could get drunk. That or drink from a drunken being, he was already feeling the effects of the drug.

When the man felt he was good and drugged, he move over to him "Why hello there." he say in a cheerful tone. Gabriel wobbly looks to him "Hello." the man go on "Say me and some friends are having a party in the back and well...no its silly..never mind sorry to bother you." moving, he set the trap. Gabriel fell for it indeed"Wait what? What ...you..you were going to ask a question." he took a swig finishing his drink. The man smirked 'perfect' turning "its just there are some hot girls who..well thought you were handsome, but are shy and so I came to ask if you would join us?" He had Gabriel at hot girls. He stumbles forward "Oh yes...show me your um...friends." The man just chuckled and helped him, he snap at the bartender for more drinks and went to the back.

When they got to the back, well the bard wasted not a moment to get this party started. Everyone was drunk, on drugs, and half dressed already. The bard looks at the man and says "Astaroth! Come to join in the fun...love the new skin hun." having a beautiful purple skin temptress pulling his shirt off. Astaroth would shove Gabriel onto one of the couches and women wasted not a moment to pounce this fine specimen of a man. Already pulling at his shirt to get it off, Gabriel look like a kid in a candy shop, making out with one and then the other. Lucky for Astaroth, almost everyone was on something.He move to the bard "I plan to trade up, but I need them...in better mind set.You can fix this yes?" The bard grins "Baby is me you are talking to..I can get him to accept you no problem.I mean he is pretty close now." With this the bard got up and moves over with a cup.He pour some powder into it, Astaroth stared at him "Yes well don't damage him.I need him for plans." Sitting back to watch. The bard then watch Gabriel grab one of the women that was quite handsy on him. "Like her eh."He saw the fangs.Looking at Astaroth "Yes he is a vampire." the bard grabs the females wrist and cuts it with his nail letting her blood mix some with the drink .He then moved behind Gabriel " You are a cutie. Here drink.." Gabriel not really in the mind set to fight, doing just that.

The bard grins "Such a good boy. Astaroth you did too much, would have love a little fight." Astaroth shrugs. "Just get him ready." The bard nods and lead Gabriel to bite the girl who moan softly. "Skilled biter...mmm always good to know." before yanking Gabriels head back by his hair "Nah ah....can't let you have anything but a taste..." leans in to kiss the vampire. Astaroth waiting for the bard to give him the signal. Though he could see he was going to have some fun first. Watching as one girl went down on the vampire. Causing him to arch up some into the bards kiss, the bard leaning back "Mmmmm good kisser." he glance to Astaroth "I almost don't want you to have him.." running his hand through the vampires hair, while another beautiful woman comes up and kisses Gabriel now. in Gabriel mind he thought they all were girls. The bard did have long wavy black hair, so beautiful and well kept.

The bard watches as the woman have their way and Gabriel seem to move to equally pleasure them back.The bard whispers into Gabriels ear "These women are beautiful yes?" hearing a groan, mostly cause the one kissing him wouldn't break from it, she was more of a dragon type.She had scales, but beautifully colored, as if she was a opal. When the bard taps the woman shoulder, she move back and Gabriel about chase to get her back. However the bard held him back "Now now...you want pleasure?" Gabriel nods "Y-yes." he said in a whisper.." well I have a friend who wants to ask you something. waving Astaroth over. Astaroth grinned and leans over. The bard would speak to him quietly "You need to be seductive in this...ask him to accept you all sweetly and..." Astaroth shove the bard by his face "I know what to do half breed." he grip Gabriels neck "Now then...I know you would love to me loved by these beautiful women, if you let me possess you, you can be always with them."

Gabriels eyes were glazed with lust and effects of the drugs. He stared at the fuzzy blur man, all he understood was a few words, enough so that he just say "Yes I accept.." Astaroth smirked" too easy." with that he moved out of the one body like a smoke and enter into Gabriel. Possessing the vampire with ease.He then  looked at the woman who stopped having her way down below. Astaroth spoke "Keep going, just cause I possessed him doesn't mean you ladies can't have your way." grinning darkly. The bard claps his hands and more women came running over to Astaroth "I do know how you love to be surrounded by beauties.." moving to have his fun as well with some other able bodies in the room. Astaroth plan to do as he please, getting ready to trick and bind Gabriels brother, without Gabriel ever knowing his part.Yes he had much to do for Caines plan.

Tales of a fitting punishment

 This tale takes place, where all good tales tend to, in a tavern. More so in the back of this place, where giggling could be heard. Looking into the back, one could see an array of beings, all kinds of race types and genders. In the middle of them all was a man, who was deep blue skinned, with bright blue freckles upon his flesh. Those red hues just sparkling in delight, leaning into a woman and nibbles at her neck, being mindful of his horns. Looking much like rams horns, his long wavy black hair a mess, while a male behind him was having fun tormenting the devil boys tail. This group exploring their hedonistic ways in the back of the tavern, sounds starting to erupt for others to hear. Thats when the owner came in to bust up the heathens "HEY! HEY! THIS IS A TAVERN NOT A WHORE HOUSE! Now get out!" smacking the group around with a broom, but was really going after the devil boy, knowing it was his doing. The bard had always been a thorn in most sides, with his constant flirting and trying to seduce everything.

The blue devil boy moving to dodge, trying to buckle up his pants, while his shirt hangs off his shoulder. The tavern owner throwing his boots at him, as he rushed the man out. The owner was already pretty intimidating looking anyways, he was an orc and his green skin was adorn with many scars. A tale to say he was probably an adventure before owning a tavern. The devil boy was half laughing as he spoke grabbing his lute "Oh come now. There was room for you. I embrace beings of all race." The tavern own scoffs "you'd fuck the dead if you had the chance filth." smacking the man on the head as he finally scurried out of the tavern "Come on now...a bard must have a place to play." The owner stared at him from the door "Yes play music, not the flesh flute heathen. If you were to do this in the room as I told you to rent, you not be kicked out where you are now. However you can't listen and you try to screw everything, you are too much to handle. Now go!" moving back inside.

furrowing his brows, the teifling bard would move on. He wandered the town, seeing a library, figure maybe he could go in and find someone in there. He hadn't had such a risk there yet, so he moved in. Looking at the counter he saw a tall being with pale skin that had silver shimmer. Teldar was checking in all the books that had been returned.They looked up and saw the devil boy, slight interest pop on their face.However they went back to their job, as the teifling moved off and was looking through the aisle. He spot a beautiful woman, she look to be an elf. So he would smoothly move closer to her, pretending to be checking through the books. She had a interesting book in her hand, the way it looked, it look old and unique.However the bard care not for that, he was interested in the unique being that held it.He leans into be close to her ear, knowing how sensitive they are to elves "Mmm you know I could read that for you. We could cuddle and I could whisk you with my music." purring into her ear. It did have an effect as she blushed and bit her lip, she seen the teifling around.He had a reputation after all, she glance at him "Oh but I must really keep to my studies." Although her body language already read into him.

The teifling was cunning on this and leans to slowly pin her to the shelf "Oh you can still study, I could help you. I am a teacher of the body." he snicker some. The elf would shh him "If the owner finds you..they might not be so kind." which just caused a little moan to come out the bards lips into her ear "I so do love punishment."the elf shivered some and says "I...oh I don't think you like theirs." the the bard just smirks and took the book out of her hand and let it drop the ground. Making out with her now, as this teifling had absolutely no shame.

Teldar was gathering some books and went to put them up.They had their own special system as to how things were to be and go in their library. Moving around as each book was put up, Teldar so loved collecting them, its why they open a library, they had so many. Figure why not, even did trades and sells of books. They were more into gathering rare books, which they had to put up one. It was the last book in their hand, as they move to the section of rare books, they heard sounds. They knew the sounds, it was of lust and well not sounds that should be in a library. Even though it sounded as if they were trying to muffle, Teldar was not amused at all. They came up to the aisle and saw the sinful act in their library. It wasn't the act itself that truly infuriated Teldar. It was the fact that they had done so on a rare book that got destroyed in the process,Teldar cleared their throat. Which the two looked up, the elf scream some and shoved the bard off.Gathering herself and things and ran fast, however the bard being the lewd thing he was.Leans back against the shelf and says "Heard my skills eh? Came to have a go yourself?" However Teldar spoke words and in a instant the Teifling was bound and chained in magic. Blinking some as he looked at the being and would moan some "Ohh I do love a good restraint" Teldar however picked up the destroyed book that was, covered in fluids. The words ruined and running on the pages,there was pages everywhere on the floor. Teldar's eyebrow twitched lightly, as they moved to the teifling and put their hand under the bards chin "Name." Teldar demands.

The teifling stared at them and could tell that this was not a happy being, he then thought a moment. Since they knew magic, he wasn't about to give his real name. So he glance around a moment and then says "Zantro.." that seem good, yes. However Teldar stared at him with a blank expression "Thats a lie." they told him. "Doesn't matter." they used their nail to cut along Zantro jaw line,taking the blood into their fingers. Zantro raised a brow "So you are sadistic...I can dig it. I am into many things." grinning. However Teldar didn't respond, instead they drew into the teiflings chest with the blood. It then burned and made itself a mark upon his flesh, causing Zantro to cry out and yet still managed to enjoy this. Teldar then spoke in a soft sweet tone "I own you now heathen. That book you wrecked carelessly was rare one of a kind. You couldn't even possibly know what I went through to get it. So you will pay me back for it, since I doubt you have enough for such, I am going to make you work it off. Not in a sexual manner either, you will work in this library. Also if I catch you ever fucking in my aisles on my books, I will add to how long you will stay. You may never leave this building, I will teach you respect for the books boy." Zantro blinks at them "Wait what?" Teldar reached and grabbed the lute "This looks important to you." Zantro pulled at the magic chains " WAIT!" Teldar lightly smirks "It is.A bard is nothing without his instrument, well I will keep this as well. Atleast till you repay your crime and debt." Looking Zantro over, they wave a hand and walk off. Making the Chains tug the teifling behind them. Now at the desk, Teldar position Zantro beside the desk "You will stay here for now, so others see what happens when they fuck in my library."

Zantro raised a brow "You are into some really kinky stuff you know."Teldar rolled their eyes "While I am sure you will enjoy the humiliation, this is a message for others." Zantro gave a teasing moan to them and struggled at the magic chains some. Teldar though went right back to work "Please...you are not as good as you think. You couldn't even begin to fill my needs boy...now be good and just suffer there." moving away. Zantro watched, but realized the weight of everything that happen.He look at the exit and realized he was truly trapped here. He could see the faint barrier now with the mark on him, he sighs and wasn't sure how long this plight would be.He hope it wouldn't be boring atleast, he hated to be bored.

Tales of a new beginning

  Azeract had left his home in search of adventure and discovering himself. He felt that maybe it be good to get away from all the hate he grew up around for being a hybrid. Since his mothers death, he felt free. He wouldn't let his father know he had run off though, afraid that his father would drag him back home. Not that he had a bad relationship or anything, but he wasn't sure his father understand. Azeract decided to leave the realm altogether, wanting to travel and discover other worlds.  For a month this had been going great, it was a little hard at first. However he managed well, keeping things light when he traveled.  He managed to come to one realm, it was much like his home, though the grass was purple.To him that was beautiful and odd, the sky was more of a marmalade color too. Dirt was pale blue, Azeract rather like it, it was peaceful here.

He was low on funds, so this was going to have to be his stop for a bit. Looking through the city for a job, anything he thought he could do.Coming up to the library and lucky him, they were looking for help. He walk in, even the races were close to those back home, except humans were rare. He move to the counter, where a rather beautiful fellow was lean up against it, looking rather bored. Atleast he did till he saw Azeract approached, the deep blue skin being smiled some. His skin also had specks of bright vibrant blue, much like freckles, even on his face. His hair was black and wavy, ears pointed as they listen when Azeract spoke "Hello, I saw a sign saying you were looking for help?" Azeract glance to the beings horns a moment, but look back to their red colored eyes. "Mmmm yes, but I am not the owner. Let me just get them." moving, as he give Azeract another long look, then ducking into the back. Azeract just gave an odd look, but thought nothing of it. He just assume maybe they thought him odd or weird looking, since he look more human-ish aside from purple colored hues.

The male returned with another person, this person was tall and very slender build. They had pale skin that look to have a silver shimmer to it. Their eyes were even silver in color, hair was pale blue color, well kept. They were well dressed in fine robes, much like scholars tend to dress.Though it was hard to tell the gender.They seem very androgynous, even when they spoke, their tone was very androgynous "So you are looking to work here?" spoke as if they was making a judgement of him. Azeract stared up to them "um yes if you have me. I am kind of low on funds and I really love books." They held their hand up to silence him. "Hmmm." they swat the devil looking boy who was just oogling Azeract the whole time. They hissed and moved away, heading to go put books up on the shelves. "So you like books....I can assume you would treat the ones here with care? I am not looking for..." glance in the devil boys direction "another slacker." Azeract shook his head "Oh no, I am a hard worker and yeah I would handle the books with care." They look to Azeract again, tilting their head.

"Very well, you don't seem to be lying and you look harmless enough." they waved Azeract to follow them. He did as they made it to the offer, where the other moved and sat behind a desk, pulling out paper. "Fill this out." they slid it to Azeract with a pen. He did just that and then handed it back when he was done.They would read and their well defined eyebrow arched slightly "A hybrid?" Glancing to Azeract, who shifted awkwardly "Uh yes...is that a problem?" They chuckled lightly "No.Its intriguing, I like intriguing and different things, especially things that are one of a kind. Defiantly have the job now."They set the paper down. Azeract blink a moment "Oh..um thanks then." never been told such before. They then went on "I am going to guess you are new and this would mean no place to stay at yet?" Azeract nod his head slowly "Um yes, I was about to get on that next." They held up their hand "You can stay here, I have a living quarters within this place. Atleast until you have money for your own place. Trust me it will be easier for you this way." Azeract smiled "Oh well thank you." They nod and said "My name is Teldar."Azeract smiled  "Well I say my name but you read the paper." snickering some, Teldar also snicker with him. "Indeed, well you can explore around today, tomorrow I will have Zantro help you." Azeract nod a little "Was that?" Teldar nods "Yes the devil boy. Thats not an issue is it, cause despite his hedonistic ways, he is actually a decent worker."

Azeract blushed "Hedonistic ways?" Teldar nods" Yes he might hit on you, but ignore it. He is harmless truly. If he gets out of hand, tell me I will handle him." Azeract nods "Ok then." Teldar then waved him off "Well you can go on and explore, tell Zantro I told him to show you to your room." Azeract got up and says "Thanks again." before moving out, when he passed the doors, he about jumped. Zantro was just waiting for him "You get the job?" he ask a little too excited. Azeract was trying to catch his breath a moment, then spoke "Um yes...he err sh...they told me to tell you to show me to my room?" though regretted saying it like that. Zantro just cackled, which was unnerving for others around. "They...its they, Teldar is non-binary." he explains. "And sure come with me." grabbing Azeracts wrist and dragging him along. "Oh Ok cool." he say and made it to the back of the library and through a door. They were now in a hallway full of doors, stopping at one. Zantro opens it and says "All yours beautiful." Making Azeract blush "Oh um thanks." before Zantro pinned him to the wall with his body "I look forward to working with you. Its been a while since something so...gorgeous came this way." Azeract lightly pushed him back "Oh yeah..umm looking forward to it..um but I think I will get some rest now." Zantro moved back and just stared at him with lust "Ok then..if....you should need company.I am two doors down, don't hesitate to knock on my door.I am always ready for anyone." he chuckles. Azeract still blushing and moving to shut his door " O-ok I will remember that." then leans against it, hearing Zantro cackle and walk off. "Well this really should be interesting." moving to go lay on the bed in the room.
