Alara the Dark Temptress

Alara vs Nyx

An hour has passed by since Alara's run-ins with the unnatural Succubi and her absorption of Death. The strange woman returns to her Master with Tylora in tow as the two bow before him. The figure drums his fingers against his throne impatiently. "So you and Gerida failed as well. And Gerida even went and got herself killed?" He asks in an angry tone. "That's... correct, Master." Tylora says. The figure shakes his head in disbelief. "Unbelievable. I don't think what I asked of you all was very difficult. Find the fusion, which I already did for you, and bring her back here. Your gross incompetence is testing my patience." The figure says, almost wanting to yell. Tylora remains silent, using all her being to keep from shuddering in fear. "Well? Do you have nothing to say for yourself?" He asks in frustration. Tylora composes herself as best she can. "I may have shown up too late to assist Gerida. The strength of our fusion was likely compromised by her weakened state. I made a mistake in my calculations." Tylora says. The figure pauses for a moment. "A mistake, huh? Well I don't deal with mistakes." The figure says before a portal opens up under Tylora and quickly pulls her through. The other woman remains kneeled, not even flinching from her spot. The figure than looks over to her. "Nyx. You have one week. Devise a plan and bring the fusion to me by this time next week. My patience wears thin. If you fail as the other three Succubi did, no one will be sent to save you. Should you let yourself be overpowered by that Succubus, her killing you would be merciful compared to what I'd do..." Tge figure says in a low voice. Nyx looks up with a blank expression. "Understood. Consider it done. I will not fail, Master." Nyx says. "For your sake I hope you're right. Now begone." The figure demands. Nyx nods once before leaving the room. The figure sighs to himself and shakes his head. "At this rate I may have to go resolve this myself. This fusion is running through my servants. I can't help but be more and more intrigued by just how much she can handle." The figure says to himself. He shakes his head as he continues with his business. A week passes from that day and Alara's training regimen has changed from the usual. Instead of using her custom made training room, she travels to the Outerverse to try and adjust her body to the harshest of conditions. Impressively, she also manages to maintain her home lives in the Demon Realm as well. Alara meditates in the Outerverse with her dark purple aura around her in base form. She's been in a meditative state for almost two hours, a stark improvement from the several seconds she could manage just a week before. Her aura begins to weaken and flicker and Alara winces a bit, but just as she passes the two hour mark her eyes open. She transforms into Dark Temptress and quickly flies back to her planet.

She sighs heavily as she goes back to base form. "Phew. I broke two hours of meditation. I should be able to go up to 24 hours in a months time. Once my body is accustomed to the conditions in a semi-conscious state, training there should be child's play by comparison. I have to keep getting stronger, especially when all of these weirdos keep showing up here." Alara says to herself as she looks up at the sky. "Oh shit! I almost forgot I have to check on my son. With that awful creature he's married to, I need to make sure he's staying sane. I still can't help but feel a bit guilty putting him in this situation, but it couldn't be helped. In any case, I should get moving before it gets too late." Alara says as she assumes the form of Tara and speeds off to Universe 9. Once she makes it there and identifies herself she's escort to the Gorgon Queen's throne room. Tara arrives in the throne room and sees her son and Magdolyn in the throne room and she's reading something to him. On the right side of the throne, the Gorgon Queen is asleep on a circular bed snoring loudly. "Huh. Well not much has changed here it seems..." Tara says to herself before walking in. Ace notices her and turns to greet his mother. "Oh, Mom. It's about time you stop by for a visit." Ace says. Magdolyn turns as well but doesn't say anything to her. "Hello son! And... fox knight." Tara says to Magdolyn. "I am a kitsune. Foxes only have one tail throughout their lives. A common misconception." Magdolyn says. "Riiiiiiight. So anyway, how's the married life been?" Tara asks Ace. "Well, actually it's not that bad. Kinda nice actually." Ace says. Tara raises an eyebrow. "Wait, really? You actually like being married to her?" Tara asks in disbelief. "I mean yea, at first it was a lot to process. She can still be pretty overbearing sometimes, but she's getting better. She understands boundaries at least." Ace says as he looks over at his sleeping wife. She grumbles in her sleep. "Mmmm. Maggie... BooBoo... keep it down... you're gonna wake the babies..." The Gorgon Queen mumbles in her sleep. Tara's eyes widen. "BABIES?!!" Tara exclaims, turning to the Queen. "Oh no no no! There are no babies yet! She's just dreaming of something else." Ace says with a nervous chuckle. "Oh. Thank God... Has she gotten, bigger?" Tara asks confused. Magdolyn looks over her notes. "Indeed she has. Since my Queen and Ace married she's gained 30 pounds and her tail has grown 10 inches in length. I predict within a months time she'll be 7 feet long and pass 280 pounds." Magdolyn says. Tara sighs and shakes her head. "What a bizarre creature she is..." Tara says. All of the talking finally wakes up the Gorgon Queen and she slowly opens her eyes. "Mmmmm... why all the noise...?" The Gorgon Queen says rubbing her eyes. She stretches out and spreads her wings with a long yawn before floating up slowly.
