Nicole's tone sounded full of regret as she said it .
" What do you mean your lord?" I asked aloud .
'Exactly what I said. You own my soul, as...... Distasteful of a thought that is , to be owned by a male."
" And what if I don't want to own you, how do I give you back your free will ?" I asked .
'I ...... Honestly don't know . All I know is I am bound to you , my lord . ' I could feel the twinge in her pride as she said it .
" You don't have to call me that ." I said , beginning to wonder how to release her from the gem again . Jessi had done it by focusing on it.... I'd have to ask her.
'Focus on seeing me outside the necklace .' Nicole said . How did she ....
'I can read your thoughts.' She said . Oh, well ok. I began to focus , a mental image of her . Within a moment , she was kneeling, once again in full armor , before me .
" Good to see you again, lord." She said, her head bowed . Suddenly her head snapped up
"DOWN!" She shouted and tackled me down as a black spear slammed into the wall behind me . If she'd not tackled me I'd be dead . " Well, he's cute. Where did you find him, Dragon Slave ?"A feminine voice came from behind me . I leaned my head back as Nicole jumped up and drew her sword. " Lord, behind me ." She snapped , and I rolled behind her , snagging one my Adam's fallen swords as I did so.
" Please , put your blades down. I only came to say hello to the new Dragon Lord here." She was a pale skinned woman in armor- well, if you could call it armor. More a metal bra and metal panties. Her wings and red eyes cause my attention more than her sharply figure .
" Leave, succubus . My Lord will have nothing to do with - Ah!" She screamed as a dark spear pinned her to the wall.
" Well your weak." The succubus said ,
Almost disappointed . " I can't get hot without a fight, so let's try the new lord . Try not to die right away !" She cackled and charged me , a sword of black energy apearing in her palm. I raised the sword I had and blocked her first attack , but her blade slowly began to shear through the metal . After three attacks , I had only a hilt and no blade. I dropped it ., and as her final attack swung down , I raised and crossed my forearms to ward off the blow . If this is my end, so be it.
