Pariku Yumi: Tale of a succubus

How it began...

Once there was a man. He was very lonely and had neither family nor a lover. For him, all he had was his passion for work and his beloved books. Over the years the lonely man gathered a lot of books from all over the world. But there was this one book he got that changed his life completely. The Book spread...danger. The cover was dark red with golden ornaments that appear to dance in candlelight. The lonely man touched the book, it felt...vivid. Like a living being, something was pumping inside this book. Fuelled by dread and curiosity the man opened the book on a random page. The headline was "Lilith", written in old handwriting in red colors. His fingers ran through the letter as he felt something...a connection? He couldn't explain what it was, but his curiosity led to him reading the page. "Lilith, the mother of Succubi, was once a servant of God. Refusing to obey Adam, the first Man, she was thrown out of the garden of Eden. In her anger, she turned into one of the first Demons, a Demon of Lust and Confidence. She will never obey a man, instead, she lurks in the dreams to find out their desire to use it against men. She will slowly kill them in their dreams showing them their Lust and pleasure. Only men whose will are strong enough can survive and give Lilith a child, which will be a Succubi as well. All the children of Lilith will follow her lead, killing people while giving them Pleasure. "The Man read the astonishing chapter while picturing how Lilith would be. Maybe she would end his pain, his loneliness, his unfilled desires. He looked up the ritual and prepared everything. He brought candles in the city nearby and got some black flowers, as Lilith appears to like a gift. He also trained his lucid dreaming to maybe keep her under control and put her under his will. He was certain that this would work, yet he was.... wrong...or was he?

After months of preparing and on a stormy night he decided that its time. He put dark flowers on a shrine as well as red candles. He lids them up before he went to bed, keeping up his lucid dreaming. For him, it felt like hours of sleeping but eventually...she came. He was not expecting her. Dark brown long hair barely covered her naked body as she was standing in front of him. He immediately noticed her long horns and her perfectly to him fitting body. Her wings reminded him of a bat, they were leather and shone in the candles which surrounded them. She was holding the flowers and looked urgently at them with her golden eyes. In the beginning, she did not care about the man, all she was looking at were these flowers...dark roses. "W-who are you?" asked the man in sort of fear and excitement. He couldn't believe that the ritual worked. "Don't talk human" she answered with a strong female voice. The man could feel the disgust in that. "You have no right to ask for my name, yet I will be gracious this time. I am Lilith." Her fingers were running through the roses, the petals, and the thorns, as she was playing with them. After a while of silence, her eyes wandered to the lonely man, and she was surprised. With a lot softer, erotic voice she continued: "You are the man who called me.... the first man since centuries who was able to call me" Her lips were dark red and turned into a smile where fangs came to light. She moved closer to him until their faces were almost touching each other. The man's heart pumped fast as he tried to find words..." you will be worthy.." she whispered on his lips before she kissed him intensely. Her tongue made her way into his mouth as he was grabbing her hips closer to him...on this dream, the man's life changed and another begin...

"You're late again", a female voice appeared through the darkness. Her voice. I sighed. Unlike the confident voice, I stuttered "y-yea I'm coming". I pushed my blanket away and stood up. Today was a day like every day else. A cycle that I wanted to escape. I got to my wardrobe and put on my red dress. The picture of my dad was smiling at me. A person I never got to meet. But I'm sure he is cheering me up, telling me that today will be a good day. As usual, I put on my makeup and looked at the person in the mirror. The blue and grey eyes looked as sad and dissatisfied as always. Someone knocked at the door. "It's time", a male voice appeared. He opened the door and he came in. His collar was making noises as he was shaking his head a little. "You're late again, Pari" "I know I know", I sigh and looked into Nato's red eyes, who judged me, yet in a soft way. "Everything is just...shit", I threw a pillow to a wall as I wanted to let my anger flow. He understood, sat on my bed, and were inspecting me. "I know", he answered and nodded. "Every time Mum is like the same. She doesn't care. I'm her weakest daughter anyways..." and that was the painful truth. While other Succubi in my age were already awakened and ready to seduce humans, my skill...was not as high to not say not existent. My eye stayed grey, while others were golden already. And they were collecting souls for our mother, while I was still bound to my room, to Lilith's castle. Nato could relate, he was an outsider too. Unlike other Cerberus, protector of higher demons, he had just one head. His powers were not strong, yet he still tries to protect me as best as he can. We turned to friends...the only ones we got as Losers. Lilith doesn't even look at me. If she does, I could feel her disgust. I was her weakest daughter, made by the only man with who she fell in love but died for me unknown reasons. Dad...what would you do? I looked at the picture again and tried to find out, what dad's lovely blue eyes want to tell me.

"Alright, I'm ready to leave". As I'm going to the door, Nato followed me closely. As our daily routine went on, I got breakfast, had some classes, lunch, and even more training I felt an inner voice rising in my heart. This voice didn't want to stay silent anymore. And I have enough. In one of our breaks, Nato and I were walking through the Garden. Surrounded by black roses I turned to him, whispering in his ear "Want to break out of this place?" His eyes looked concerned as he was trying to find words. "Pariku are you insane?! You did not read those fantasy erotic novels again where the main protagonist runs away to find the only love in a rich man who is good at sex right?!" I smiled. This was typically Nato. "Alright listen. I don't belong here. I am not a good Succubus. And Lilith will never let me go. This is all I can do. Maybe I fit more into another place...another realm..." His eyes turned from concern to disbelief. "Pari What the Fuck?!" I sighed and gave him a smooch on his cheek. "I don't know what you will do but I need to leave this prison. I want to see the human world. I want to see the sky, the stars, the ocean. I want to meet people, I want to understand them" I was always interested in human. To others, they seem weak and only get good use as a toy or to strengthen our Powers. But I feel that humans are so much more. I heard they have good food, different cultures, and landscapes. They seem...peaceful. Sometimes at least. Not knowing that Life could be so much longer they try to get their places on earth, to find happiness for a few years. And so many souls are sad...and lonely like my dad. I want to make a difference. And since I'm no good succubus at least in the way they work...I could try something different, right?" Nato nodded while trying to understand how I feel. Still skeptical, he sighed and pushed his hair back. "You can't go alone...you're weak...you need me...HMPH" He put his hands on his hips, blushed, and looked away. I giggled. He was always this Tsundere but still very caring. "You'll get treatos after~" I winked at him while discussing how we would make it. Usually, demons need to be summoned. And as someone who doesn't have a big name in the human world yet...I don't get summoned....But there is another way...

Later, that evening we met up in my room. Nato had his very important favorite toy (don't tell him I know) and some other stuff in a backpack. I...well I did not bring anything specific with me. A little makeup, some clothes, and some books written by demons about humanity. Maybe it will teach us how to act in the human realm. We both looked at each other with fear...but determination too! Our plan was simple: We sneak into my mom's working room. She usually gets summoned around this time. Since mom has a very own portal in her room, we might be able to go there without someone else noticing. If someone sees us...well...time to run. One last time I looked back into my bedroom...I will miss it...But it's important to me to break out of the cage. I want to find my way. My path to happiness. A way I decided and no other people or legacies. I wiped a tear away, turned around on my heel, and left my old life.

As expected, we got coughed. One of the guardian hellhounds sniffed Nato and was chasing for us. We were barely faster. We rushed into mom's room and Nato pushed her drawer in front of the door "I TOLD YOU THIS IS A BAD IDEA!" He screamed and gasped. I ignored it and looked into the portal while you could hear the Hellhound cursing and yelling at us. "Alright...how is mom doing it...just jumping in right...?" I had no clue. Because my demon did not awaken yet, I have no access to magic. Which succs. Like really. So, I just prayed that the portal works without using my powers. I got Nato by my hand, took a deep breath, and together we jumped into the unknown.

This all happened a while ago. During that time Nato and I tried to fit best into society. We landed in Germany, so we had to learn German. This went faster than expected, also because all demons are good at adapting to humans' nature. I mean, how else are we able to seduce humans when they don't trust us? Anyways, we found a lot of friends along the way. One rainy day, I heard a bird screaming outside. Out of Curiosity, I headed out to see what was wrong. There was a small little crow with a damaged wing screaming for help (at least that's what I thought, I did not understand what they wanted to say). Inside our house, we gave the crow food and a home, and later, he didn't want to leave. That's why we decided to keep her as some sort of pet, but to me, it feels more like a good friend: Peko. Now, it's been exactly one year since I moved to Germany, away from the Place I called prison before. I found a way to collect souls, well...it works for me fine just now. I found lots of good souls and I feel the power gaining through it. My right eye turned to gold, as well as my horns. Though, I can still not access my demon's strength. Sometimes, I have the feeling that my inner demon is whispering to me...to take over. For now, I don't trust that voice. But I'm not sure what happens if I reach more power through souls. We will see what the future will bring to me, Nato, and every single soul. I will show the demons my true powers.
