A Dungeon's Desire, page 7
part #11 of Lewd Series
Dark elves and kobolds lined one edge of the crater; the sound of blades being drawn filling the area. The crackle of small fires popped as they all peered down at the lone figure laying at the center of the crater.
Sekka, quickly, bring her to me. The explosion may have alerted the rulers of Elora.
The succubus nodded as she stepped over the edge and began to slide down. Several dark elves followed at her side. Lyndra studied the troll woman through Sekka’s eyes, sensing something she wasn’t quite sure she understood. As they approached, the troll did not stir, eyes closed as if she was sleeping for a thousand years.
The succubus reached the troll and knelt down. Senses open, she felt the strong pulse of the troll. Reaching down, she touched the body and felt life glow to her touch. Dark elves surrounded the troll, looking to Sekka for their next command. The succubus nodded and the dark elves reached down and picked up the unconscious troll.
Marching back up the edge of the crater, they struggled against the uneven terrain. Sekka led the group until they climbed over the edge. Kobolds moved underneath to help carry the troll. Lyndra’s senses jumped from Sekka to a dark elf and another for a closer look. Power droned on, pulsating at her, wanting to draw the dungeon core into the body of the beautiful troll woman. It fascinated and terrified her because she wasn’t sure what it all meant.
Sekka, she seems familiar.
The succubus nodded but said nothing.
Designs filled the dungeon core’s mind. The power coming off the troll seemed to be different than the world surrounding her. The long-lost need to break free of her prison coiled around her digital heart. Lyndra could sense she could use this powerful being to help her break free from her own digital prison. It brought a glimmer of hope she thought she had lost when she became a dungeon core.
The walk back was slow. The dark elves and kobolds huffed as they carried the nearly dead weight of the troll woman. When they emerged from the forest, all eyes looked to the dungeon entrance in the distance. Torches flickered just within the dungeon opening. Lyndra stood, watching her dwellers and Sekka bringing the body to her.
A small gasp rose up and a dark elf glanced over to the troll’s face. Eyes fluttered open before a long moan rose up from dark blue lips. Sekka turned around to see the troll was beginning to stir. A flash of power bloomed and a nervous energy touched all the dark elves and kobolds holding the troll.
“Quickly, bring her to me,” Lyndra shouted from the dungeon entrance.
The moan swirled into a growl as the troll woman began to move. Dark elves and kobolds eyed the troll, picking up the pace when power exploded. Kobolds and dark elves were thrown in every direction. Sekka brought her arms up just in time to blunt the force. With a screech, she too was thrown and hit the ground.
Lyndra stared as the troll floated in the air before her entire body whipped around and she slowly floated, boots touching the ground. Shoulders and body bent forward; the troll’s entire form heaved with power. Lifting her head, madness filled eyes glared in Lyndra’s direction.
Lyndra looked down at Sekka who was struggling to stand up. “To me!”
The succubus heard the words of her Mistress, turned and stumbled toward the dungeon entrance. The troll eyed the fleeing demon and with a burst of power shot forward. Sekka was twenty feet away when a fist slammed into her lower back and sent her sprawling to the ground.
Lyndra’s entire demeanor changed as energy pooled into her hands. A second later, she pointed those hands at the heaving troll woman and unleashed two streams of lightning. Thick bolts of energy blasted forward. The troll lifted up her armored forearms, crossing them over her face. When the streams of energy slammed into her, white light blasted the area. Energies burned as the troll stayed her ground. When the streams dimmed and vanished, the troll stood, wisps of smoke rising up from her bracers.
Fear touched Lyndra’s digital heart. The troll was powerful, almost too powerful. She needed to draw her into the dungeon if she had a chance at defeating her. With a thought, she entered Sekka’s mind and took control. The succubus no longer struggled to stand as her body moved like a puppet on strings. Jumping to her feet, she sprinted toward the entrance.
The mad troll saw what was happening and blasted forward like a small comet. Lyndra counted on it as she relinquished control of the succubus, causing her limbs to fail. Sekka fell, hitting the ground just as the troll shot past. Senses returning to her physical form, Lyndra called on her elemental power and blasted out two streams of lightning once again.
The troll growled again, arms up and blocking the streams of jagged light. Pushing against them, she charged toward the tunnel entrance, eyes burning with a madness induced hatred.
Lyndra poured on power, goading the frenzied troll to pass the threshold of the dungeon and feel her true power. When the troll entered the dungeon, Lyndra’s eyes flared with power. Alteration energy crawled along her body as mystical armor coalesced around her. Growing taller, the Dungeon Mistress let out her own maddening growl as armor covered her body.
“Surrender and we…” Lyndra began before the troll crashed into her.
A fist struck Lyndra’s chest, cracking her mystical armor. The Dungeon Mistress took a step back and another, reeling from the power of the troll. The animalistic growls echoed off walls as the troll pressed her attack. The Dungeon Mistress used her arms to block each incoming fist strike, but the very walls around her cracked with each impact. Power bled over, shards of it cracking Lyndra’s armor like they were paper.
“This is my home!” Lyndra screeched as she drove a fist into the troll’s armored stomach.
The troll barely bent to the powerful strike before her arm whipped up and smashed into Lyndra’s chest. The armored Mistress went flying back, crashing into a cracked wall and falling to her knees. Looking up, she saw the insanity swirling in the troll’s eyes as she stalked forward. The power was immeasurable and Lyndra knew she had to have it so she could use it to break free her own prison.
Light flicked from behind as Sekka soared through the corridor, sword gleaming in the torchlight. The sword flashed down and clashed against something hard. The troll had turned her upper body and her bracer took the impact, sparks flying. The troll’s other hand blinked up, fingers grabbing hold of the succubus’s neck. Sekka gave a desperate cry before her entire body was snatched from the air and thrown like a rag doll.
Lyndra called on her elemental power, the very air catching the succubus and carrying her along the corridor until she was behind her Mistress. When Sekka was safely down the corridor, Lyndra turned her attention back to the troll as she was nearly on her. Bare fists rained down as wild screams bounced off walls. The dungeon core tried to block each blow, but the troll moved faster than she could keep up with.
The edge falling to the troll’s favor, Lyndra needed to end this conflict before the troll figured out how to get to her core. Armor cracked and damage slammed into Lyndra’s core.
You have taken 1,999 damage! 8,001/10,000 Hit Points.
Lyndra grunted before a fist came up, striking under her chin.
You have taken 1,999 damage! 6,002/10,000 Hit Points.
Desperation colored Lyndra’s heart. A few more strikes and her core would shatter. Calling on her elemental sphere of power, she hooked invisible ropes to the corridor and pulled. The troll was about to deliver another devastating blow when stone and earth fell on her. The troll screamed and raged before she was immediately buried.
Lyndra backed up, rubbing her chin and watching as the troll was buried and nearly out of sight. Relief washed over her until the troll’s head burst from the stones and earth in a maddening shout.
Without thinking, the Dungeon Mistress stepped forward and spent every point she had in her elemental sphere. Power arced in her hand as energy glowed. The troll pulled an arm from the debris just as Lyndra stepped to her and pressed her palm to the troll’s head. The troll whipped her hand to grab the dungeon core’s wrist, but by that time it was too late.
The troll screamed long and hard as lightning surged into her forehead. Lyndra fought to stay close, pouring power into the mad troll. When her body weakened, Lyndra stepped back and held onto the wall. The troll’s head went slack, hanging forward and eyes closing.
Sekka was up and slowly moving to Lyndra’s side. The succubus eyed the half-buried troll as smoke rose up from her head.
“I will clear away the rubble. Find and help the others while I bring our new guest into our home,” Lyndra commanded with fire in her eyes.
***
Lyndra let her arms drop to her sides, exhaustion filling her form. Consuming gold and gems helped to replenish her elemental sphere. Refilled, she carved out a hardened stone chamber deep within her dungeon. It was reinforced like a vault. A lone pedestal stood, the troll woman in white armor lay, hands crossed over her chest.
Sekka stepped into the room, eyes glancing to the troll and then to her mistress. “It might be too dangerous to keep such a creature here.”
Lyndra looked down on the sleeping troll, her expression blank. “She might be the key to breaking my prison.”
The Dungeon Mistress turned away and looked to her servant. “How are the others?”
“They are well. Some minor cuts and bruises,” Sekka answered.
Lyndra nodded before something touched the edge of senses. A frown formed as shadows lengthened under her eyes.
“Your new friends of Elora are on their way,” Lyndra said with a dark tone.
Sekka looked to the sleeping troll. “What shall we do?”
Lyndra gave her servant an amused smirk. “We shall entertain them for now.”
The dungeon core looked to the troll once again, “I need time to study her secrets.”
Sekka bowed. “I will do what I can to slow them down.”
The succubus turned and left.
Lyndra moved to the edge of the pedestal and peered down on the beautiful troll woman. “Now, let’s see what the first child of the Awakened can show me.”
