The Succubus, Prologue!
Downsized


“You called for me?” the young succubus, Odessa, knelt before her lord. She knew that she was about to be chewed out, but she didn’t care anymore, she would take whatever punishment he deemed fit, then leave his presence until her seguinte one. Lord Arlon glared at her.
“You have some nerve, you have repeatedly disobeyed me in the past, but now you have gone too far. You have broken one rule too many, and this one was a serious one.”
She kept her head bowed respectfully, but inwardly sneered at the fool. “You and I have differing opinions, my lord.”
Arlon snorted. “that we do. Do you have anything to say in your defense?”
“No, my lord, nothing at all.”
Arlon looked at her. She had her head bowed, but was still beautiful. He expected nothing less of a succubus, but that was what got her into trouble in the first place. “You have broken a sacred rule.”
“And you have broken my heart.”
“DON’T GIVE ME THAT! You are the one who blatantly disregarded your orders. Succubi exist to tempt men and steal their energy, but you ignored that duty entirely, even going so far as to seduce a fellow demon! Do you hold feelings for the humans?”
She looked up and sneered. “I despise the humans, but I despise myself and yourself more. I hate us demons. We say we hate humans and we say that they’re beneath us, but what do we do? We stalk them and we spite them! They are beneath us? No, we are jealous, at least you are! I refuse to be jealous of such filth, but I also refuse to acknowledge my demon heritage! Succubi my ass!”
“ENOUGH!” Arlon’s roar of anger shocked her. She snapped her mouth shut and once again, bowed her head.
“I apologize, my lord, that was out of line.” Her response was stiff and without any of the fervor she had just shown. Arlon looked at her. Damn that woman, her anger only made her mais beautiful, her flushed features barely hidden por her long red hair. He sighed, he hated this part.
“I’m sorry, Odessa, but you have broken the rules for the last time.”
“Are you banishing me?”
“No…I could never do that, even if my duty demanded it, I could not banish you. Instead, I shall do the seguinte worst thing. I shall strip you of all that you are.”
She gasped. “No! you can’t!” seguinte to banishment, it was the worst punishment, but she found this to be worse than being banished. She was being stripped of her identity. She would no longer be a Succubus, she would not be human, or demon, or anything else. She would be an abomination.
Arlon glared. “Yes, I can, and I will!”
Her eyes pleaded. “No…”
“Odessa, you are hereby stripped of all of your demon heritage, your demon powers, of everything! You shall walk the world, no longer a demon, but a monster even worse than that!” He slammed his fist into the armrest of his throne, a green and red light enveloping Odessa as she looked at him, her features no longer pleading, but furious, she would have her revenge, that was for sure.
