"Ugh... where am I?" Liliana muttered, half-dazed and rubbing her left arm in discomfort as she awoke slowly. She started to touch the back of her ribs and felt something was off... The permanent absence of her grey wings and feeling rather lighter than usual.
"W-where are my wings, and my tail?!" she said, touching the back of her hips and felt three different lines of stitches on her lower back. Panicked, she quickly came to full awareness realizing she was in a padded room with electromagnetic sensors pulsating in the room. She then tried to open the front door but to no avail, then she attempted to bang on the front door to catch someone attention.
"Help! Somebody! Anybody!"
As she yelled for help, the lights in her room lit up and a woman in a lab coat, appearing in her late 30's approached her window.
"I'm afraid you won't be seeing them anymore, you'll be spending the rest of your days in here until you've served your purpose."
"Who are you?" Liliana demanded, who banged her fist at the door.
"That's not gonna work missy. This door's reinforced with titanium alloy." she said in a mild tone as she stopped banging her fists and decided to listen to labrat's reply. "Good, you seem to be the civil type. My name is Beatrice, I specialize on the knowledge of human anatomy. You seem to hold something no humans would have, the ability to fly at great heights and speed. So I decided to strip you of your wings so that we can study its movements and engineer our own set of wings. Had someone else found you. They would've shot you dead."
Enraged, Liliana resumed banging on the door again: "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" She yelled in anger as she tried to hold out her hands to try to cast a charm spell on Beatrice. But all she got was a gesture of finger-pointing and a loud chuckle, turning her mood back to an upset one with tears of frustration.
"Hah! You're such a comedian. That ain't gonna work. See those sensors above in your room? They render your magic useless by emitting electromagnetic pulses. You're basically down to level with us now. A weak human being." Beatrice replied as she fished out a notepad from her pocket and jotted notes down before stuffing the notepad back in her pocket. "Now then, why down you just sit down and think about your new home. I've other subjects to handle let alone yourself. Until we meet again, good morning to you Liliana si Morcia, second generation succubus and thirteenth hellspawn of the Demon Lord, and quite the unlucky number too." Beatrice finished as she departed from Liliana's view.
"Wait, how do you know my-"
As Liliana saw her captor depart from view, she began to tear, backing away from the window and sat in a corner to wipe away her tears while trying to recall what happened moments that led up to her present situation.
'How did I get here?' She thought while trying to recollect her memories.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
(Demon Lord's castle)
In a large dining hall, held up by a two rows of large pillers and with each pillar a headless knight stood guard in the room, holding their longsword downwards in one hand while holding their head in the other, watching various Lilim and Succubi women sharing conversations while eating roasted pork while a lesser succubus, dressed in a french maid costume walked across the table, pouring a milky liquid into their cups before quietly returning to the kitchen for frequent refills. One of the Lilims, distinguished from the rest of her siblings, stood up and raised her cup, prompting her other siblings and fellow succubus women to follow suit.
"A toast, to another successful and peaceful assimilation of the town of Gwillim."
The sounds of a (ting) echoed the room as they slowly drank their fill before simultaneously slammed their cups down on the table.
"That hit the spot! Freshly squeezed mansauce, a whole townsworth all in a single pitcher." she said while laughter echoed the hall as Liliana stepped into dining hall through the front entrance as everyone turned their attention to her.
"You're late my unlucky sister. What's the matter? You still didn't get laid yet?" Dellera, the fourth oldest sibling asked. Prompting her other siblings to snicker at the infuriated Liliana who formed a dark orb with her raised hand as a threat before letting it fade peacefully at their silence, then turning to Dellera.
"It's not that Dell, I'm tired of seeing men giving me a look of false love when they can't decide that for themselves. I want a man who can love me for who I am and not because of my pretensive charms." she said as the lesser succubus maid walked up and pulled an open seat for Liliana to sit down on. "Thank you Terri."
"Y-you're welcome Ma'am." Terri replied.
"You don't have to call me Ma'am by the way." Liliana suggested nicely.
"S-Sure thing Liliana." she said nervously before scuttling away.
"What? Tired of men seeking your charms? You can't be serious! We've been doing this for a long time and-"
"And for what? Fucking men left, center and right for their spirit energy? I seek more than just simple infatutati-."
"You're beginning to sound like a human woman Liliana." Dellera pointed out, much to the shock of her siblings quietly listening to them.
"Sorry, but I prefer doing things my own way. I don't even think our Mothe-"
The sudden instance of hearing their mother questioned by Liliana raised Dellera's ire immediately. causing her to slam her fist onto the table. "You dare question Mother's ethics?"
In response, Liliana replied: "Question? More like I challenge her current system."
Dellera's patience grew thin as she teleported instantly behind Liliana and hoisted her off her chair, forcing Liliana to stand and face towards her. "Now you listen to me. Mother gave us food, clothing and a place called home. Now why in the world would you want to bite the helping hand?"
"Dellera, open your eyes and look around you. When was the last time any one of us had a "son" yet?" Liliana asked. That question alone sparked murmuring and small arguing amongst the other siblings and succubi.
"SILENCE!!!" Dellera commanded as the room went quiet once more. "Liliana, I think you really need to just find a man and this will all wash away."
"I intend to, but not with the way you all do it. Now you'll have to excuse me. I've lost my appetite with this bickering." She pouted.
Liliana then opened her wings and decided fly and crash through a ceiling window above before it magically repaired itself while her siblings resumed their normal conversations and meal. "She'll be back. Hopefully a man who'll straighten her out." Dellera said before ripping a chunk out of a pork leg with her bare teeth.
'I'm tired of this. They only think for themselves and indulge on semen.' Liliana thoughtfully mused as she flew across the night skies in resentment. As she flew across a paved forest, a shiny glint caught her eye below. "What's that?" She thought, swooping down towards the light source until she came to ground level. Folding her wings back, she approached a stone statue and in its hand held a rusty, digital wristwatch. Something Liliana has never seen before
"What's this little gem?" she thought. Trying to pry the watch out of its wrist but to no avail. Frustrated, Liliana punched the statue's hand, crumbling the whole statue. "Oops." she said, ignoring the damage of the statue while inspecting the rusty trinket. 'Could use a bit of polishing up.'
As Liliana started to make a sprinkle gesture on the watch. The rust and wear reversed as the watch had been restored to its original condition. Having done so allowed the watch to activate.
"I've never something like this before."
Putting on the watch, recalling the way the statue wore it, she suddenly felt drowsy.. Unable to stand, she fell forward and went into a deep slumber as the watch started to beep a few times before her body disappeared instantly.
--------------------------------------
(Present Day, November 2012)
Liliana had woken up from the sound of her watch constantly beeping. As she came to, she looked around and saw she was still in the forest as before. However something was different this time around. In front of her was a red barn and a house. Much to her surprise.
"I've never seen such a building before."
Curious, she spread her wings, flew and lands softly in front of the house to investigate. As she approached the front door, she was startled by the sound of a dog barking at her from inside of the house.
"Shh." she said as the dog immediately quieted down and walked away obediently. Liliana then knocked on the door while magically concealing her wings, horns and tail into her body.
"Just a minute!" A voice shouted before someone answered the door. As the door opened, she saw a young man in his 20's, brown long hair, slim build and was wearing coveralls, eyeing her top to bottom while trying to hold his composure to her.
"H-Howdy good lady. W-What brings you here in the rural areas of New Zipangu?" the man asked nervously with a southern accent.
'Such a nice man.' Liliana thought as she replied: "What is this home of yours? I've never seen something like this."
"Ah yes, my pappy built this house with my ma when they were good lookin' as you back in '78. Now then, what brings you all the way out in the middle of nowhere?"
'Wait a minute.... why isn't he offering himself to me like all the other men have?' Liliana thought, noticing the gentleman hasn't even attempted to lay a finger on her as other men have before. 'Mayb-.'
"Who're you talking to Ben?" an old lady asked while approaching the front door and walking with a cane in one hand. As she caught sight of Liliana, she instantly panicked as she dropped her walking cane pointing at her. "DEVIL! DEVIL! YOU BEGONE FROM MY PRESENCE! LEAVE MY SON ALONE YOU VILE CREATURE!"
Confused, Lilana asked: "What? I'm sorry what's the matter wi-"
"You monster, leave at once!" the bewildered elder shouted as she pulled a pump-action shotgun from her cane basket and pointed it at Liliana, much to Ben's shock.
"Mother what's the matter with you?"
"Stay back son, she's a no-good devil, just like the one who took your dad away!"
"I'm sorry what are you talking about? I want monsters and humans to be together and I think you're mistaking me for-."
"Silence!" The old woman said, pulling the trigger on her shotgun.
(BANG)
As the pellets started to scatter. Liliana quickly blocked the shot with her wings that she withdrew, revealing to Ben her true form.
"Oh god." Ben nervously muttered as he backed away from Liliana as he ran beside his mother, taking the shotgun from her and pointing it at Liliana, much to her bewilderment. "Get back demon!" he shouted.
"B-but why?" Liliana asked before she heard Ben pump the shotgun. Much to her disappointment as she quickly fled before getting shot again.
"Ben, I suggest you lock your doors. It's not safe anymore." his mother said to which Ben complied with a nod.
'What's with those humans?' Liliana thought in depression as she flew countless miles back to her home castle. As she arrived at the front gates, she noticed the castle appeared devoid of any life or activity.
'The hell happened here?' She thought. Flying up to her bedroom, she noticed all of her belongings were gone. There was nothing other than stone, dust and cobwebs to greet her. Entering the dark dining room downstairs, the whole place was just like her bedroom. There was nothing left. No tapestrys, no table, and not a single one of her siblings in sight. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a clang and rasp breathing.
"Who's there?" Liliana called out as a dark figure approached her while she summoned a ball of light to illuminate her view. The figure then walked into the light revealing Terri, deprived of energy.
"Terri? Is that you?"
"Where have you been all these years?" Terri replied weakly.
"What are you talking about? I left a night ago and I woke up. What the hell happened here and where's my sisters?" Liliana demanded.
"I'm sorry to tell you this Liliana, they have passed....It's been over 600 years that you've been gone. There's no one left now."
Hearing that, Liliana grew disdain: "Excuse me? What do you mean passed?"
"They're no longer among the living, they have departed from old age including your mother and father....I'm sorry Liliana. You've been gone for so long."
"B-But.... It can't be...." Saddened by the loss of her siblings. Liliana broke down into tears as she obliterated a column in a single punch in anger. "Damnit! Why?" she thought as Terri approached to comfort her once she came to her senses. "Now then, what has happened while I was gone?" she asked as she wiped her tears with her arm.
"A number of things. First off, the order has been out of sight for a long time. Yet they somehow managed to clear the blight from this world. Second, there's a place flourishing with monster girls and humans called New Zipangu.
"Wait, did you say New Zipangu?" Liliana curiously asked, having heard from Ben mentioned the place. "What is that?"
"It's a beautiful city on a large island. It's a place your family would always desire as a haven for monsters and humans living together in harmony."
"You serious? There's a large populace that both species co-exist?" Liliana asked again. "But if you knew said place existed, why are you still here?"
"Because no matter what happens to this castle, it's forever my home." Terri replied before she suddenly started to collapse, but Liliana caught her mid-collapse.
"Why? Why haven't you even found yourself a man yet? You're dying Terri." Liliana teared again, not wanting to see another friend disappear before her very eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm not fit for this new world. I'm long overdue...." she said as her body started to disintegrate into sparkles. "May I wish you well for your future....Liliana si Morcia." Terri's last words spoken before her sparkles crumbled past Liliana's hands, much to her loneliness and silence as she wept in sorrow, hands on her face and down on her knees before she stood up and wiped away her tears once more.
'Well then... Off to New Zipangu. Maybe I can find some answers there.' Liliana thought before spreading her wings and flying out of the castle in search for the city.

"I'm sorry what are you talking about? I want monsters and humans to be together and I think you're mistaking me for-."

'Well then... Off to New Zipangu. Maybe I can find some answers there.' Liliana thought before spreading her wings and flying out of the castle in search for the city.
(End of Chapter 1)
Spoiler: show
Liliana continued her flying in the daylight skies in hopes of finding the city of New Zipangu. However from her current position, all she saw was nothing but desert from her current position. Suffering from heat exhaustion, she landed softly on a hillside of sand and started walking while shielding herself of the sunlight with her wings, sweat and heavy panting having preoccupied her senses.
"Water....Need water...."
Liliana's watch began to beep while forming a blue arrow. As if its trying to guide her.
"If you say so..." she mused. Following the direction of her watch, she felt a sharp prick on her feet. "Oww." Liliana pouted as she lifted her pricked feet finding out she accidentally stepped on a green scorpion, appearing lifeless of movement from her foot stomp.
"Oops sorry...Nothing like a little bit magic to help."
Liliana picked up the dying scorpion with one hand while waving her other hand in a circle motion above the scorpion as the crush wounds started to heal. Seeing the little critter waving happily with it's claws, Liliana placed the scorpion back down on the sands. "Let's hope this won't happen again. Bye now." Liliana said to the scorpion as it scuttled away while she resumed her tiring trek, unaware when she turned her back. The scorpion slowly grew in size as its head morphed into the upper half of a tanned-skinned woman with long green hair and a veil to cover her face as it continued to walk away from Liliana quietly, unaware of its own transformation.
As Liliana followed the arrow, the beeping of the watch grew short in interval as she started to see something ahead of her view. A small Oasis covered with palm trees. Desperate to quench her thirst, Liliana ran to the oasis, stripping herself of her clothes as she skinny dipped in the water and throwing her head back up to the surface with a deep breath in relief while taking in large gulps of water.
"Ahh... Much better. I could fly again..."
Liliana then leaned her back against the sands as she looked up in the skies, seeing the sun set. Marvelling in beauty at the sight of the horizon going dusk.
"Mmmm.... Beautiful." she said before stepping out of the oasis and hovering above the palm trees, ripping two coconuts off the tree and returning back to the ground. She put down one coconut while she perfectly split the other coconut open with a karate chop. slurping the sweet coconut water and picking away at the fruit in delight.
'Delicious. Nothing like the stuff back home....' she thought while finishing the two halves of the coconut while collecting her clothes, washing the sweat off and redressing herself. Finished with her pit stop. Liliana extended her wings out wide while taking off into the now dark skies, feeling the cool air relieve her as she saw the arrow on her watch glow green and aimed to travel West of her current position. Unaware that the once clear oasis turned a slight tint of blue in colour.
"Now where are you leading me?" she said, continuing her flight as her watch's beeping started to shorten again, informing her of another place of interest. Looking below, she saw a large stone structure as she swooped down and landed at the front of the entrance.
'Hmm, this structure looks just like what my mother read to me during bedtime stories.' Liliana recalled, recognizing the body of a lion and the head of a man. Curious, she entered the abandoned structure but was unable to see in the dark. Lifting her hand once more, she emitted a blue flame in her hand to illuminate her surroundings. All that was in front of her was an untouched coffin and a skeleton with an oddly shaped head, holding a flail. Unlike that of any other human skeleton she has seen or resurrected before.
"Hmm... Maybe I could get some answers.... What if..."
Liliana carefully picked up the skeleton while putting aside the flail and touched its skull. As if trying to read the mind of the spirit that formerly inhabited the empty shell. However, the skeleton quickly came to life and pushed Liiana back as the skeleton glowed a fiery red.
"You disturbed my long slumber, why have you trespassed on my domain?" the skeleton angrily asked while holding its left hand out, as Liliana saw the flail float and fly into its hand. Much to her surprise. "Your very presence desecrates my sanctuary."
"I'm looking for some answers, I've got so many questions that need to be answer-."
"Hold your tongue trespasser!" the skeleton shouted as rotting flesh started to form on the skeleton as Liliana watched the reverse decomposition form, seeing muscles and tissue reform and regenerate completely, alive once more. All Liliana could see in front of her was nothing of a skeleton. Instead in front of her, a tanned woman with long black hair, jackal ears and furry paws replacing her former limbs as her flail transformed into a golden scale. Wearing gold decorations and baggy purple pants.
"You entered the premises without even answering the Sphinx's riddle!"
"Look if the riddle has something to do with walking on four in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening. I know its 'Man'."
"H-How did you know that riddle already?" The Anubis demanded.
"It's quite an old riddle actually, my friends used to talk about it one time."
"Is that so? Did you know there was one more riddle rarely asked?"
"Gee I wonder what it is?" Liliana replied sarcastically. "Lemme guess.... There are two sisters, one gives birth to the other while the other gives birth to her.... The answer to that riddle is 'Day and Night' Yes?"
Surprised, the Anubis kneeled down to Liliana with her paw to her chest. "My apologies. You've earned my respect stranger." She said before standing back up. "Now then, what brings you here?"
"I'm afraid I'm not from this time, I've been told from my friend that I've been thrown 600 years into the future. Would you know anything about time travel?"
"No, I know nothing of what you speak of. All I've done most of the time was guard this sarcophagus." The Anubis replied.
"Who would you guard this coffin from?" Liliana asked curiously.
"Graverobbers. The corpse may not be of any value, but the golden sarcophagus seems to be what people tried to rob. Glad its still here, assuming you're the only one who's been in here the last three-thousand years or so..."
"Well then, I guess I should be on my way now."
"Take care."
"But first.... Can you put me back to rest?" The Anubis asked.
"Umm...."
"What's the problem?"
"About that.... I think once my spells are casted... I can't seem reverse it." Liliana answered truthfully.
"Are you serious?!" She asked angrily. As the Anubis formed a mirror-like object to see her current looks. "I-I'm a woman?!" she gasped, finally looking down and noticing having breasts. "What the?!" as she dug her paw under her pants, feeling 'nothing' below. "WHERE'S MY PE-"
"Umm, I think I better get going now. Goodbye" Liliana said quickly as she turned and ran out of the Sphinx structure in panic as potshots of fireballs flew her way as she spread her wings and flew away.
"GET BACK HERE AND FIX ME!" she yelled in anger.
"Water....Need water...."
Liliana's watch began to beep while forming a blue arrow. As if its trying to guide her.
"If you say so..." she mused. Following the direction of her watch, she felt a sharp prick on her feet. "Oww." Liliana pouted as she lifted her pricked feet finding out she accidentally stepped on a green scorpion, appearing lifeless of movement from her foot stomp.
"Oops sorry...Nothing like a little bit magic to help."
Liliana picked up the dying scorpion with one hand while waving her other hand in a circle motion above the scorpion as the crush wounds started to heal. Seeing the little critter waving happily with it's claws, Liliana placed the scorpion back down on the sands. "Let's hope this won't happen again. Bye now." Liliana said to the scorpion as it scuttled away while she resumed her tiring trek, unaware when she turned her back. The scorpion slowly grew in size as its head morphed into the upper half of a tanned-skinned woman with long green hair and a veil to cover her face as it continued to walk away from Liliana quietly, unaware of its own transformation.
As Liliana followed the arrow, the beeping of the watch grew short in interval as she started to see something ahead of her view. A small Oasis covered with palm trees. Desperate to quench her thirst, Liliana ran to the oasis, stripping herself of her clothes as she skinny dipped in the water and throwing her head back up to the surface with a deep breath in relief while taking in large gulps of water.
"Ahh... Much better. I could fly again..."
Liliana then leaned her back against the sands as she looked up in the skies, seeing the sun set. Marvelling in beauty at the sight of the horizon going dusk.
"Mmmm.... Beautiful." she said before stepping out of the oasis and hovering above the palm trees, ripping two coconuts off the tree and returning back to the ground. She put down one coconut while she perfectly split the other coconut open with a karate chop. slurping the sweet coconut water and picking away at the fruit in delight.
'Delicious. Nothing like the stuff back home....' she thought while finishing the two halves of the coconut while collecting her clothes, washing the sweat off and redressing herself. Finished with her pit stop. Liliana extended her wings out wide while taking off into the now dark skies, feeling the cool air relieve her as she saw the arrow on her watch glow green and aimed to travel West of her current position. Unaware that the once clear oasis turned a slight tint of blue in colour.
"Now where are you leading me?" she said, continuing her flight as her watch's beeping started to shorten again, informing her of another place of interest. Looking below, she saw a large stone structure as she swooped down and landed at the front of the entrance.
'Hmm, this structure looks just like what my mother read to me during bedtime stories.' Liliana recalled, recognizing the body of a lion and the head of a man. Curious, she entered the abandoned structure but was unable to see in the dark. Lifting her hand once more, she emitted a blue flame in her hand to illuminate her surroundings. All that was in front of her was an untouched coffin and a skeleton with an oddly shaped head, holding a flail. Unlike that of any other human skeleton she has seen or resurrected before.
"Hmm... Maybe I could get some answers.... What if..."
Liliana carefully picked up the skeleton while putting aside the flail and touched its skull. As if trying to read the mind of the spirit that formerly inhabited the empty shell. However, the skeleton quickly came to life and pushed Liiana back as the skeleton glowed a fiery red.
"You disturbed my long slumber, why have you trespassed on my domain?" the skeleton angrily asked while holding its left hand out, as Liliana saw the flail float and fly into its hand. Much to her surprise. "Your very presence desecrates my sanctuary."
"I'm looking for some answers, I've got so many questions that need to be answer-."
"Hold your tongue trespasser!" the skeleton shouted as rotting flesh started to form on the skeleton as Liliana watched the reverse decomposition form, seeing muscles and tissue reform and regenerate completely, alive once more. All Liliana could see in front of her was nothing of a skeleton. Instead in front of her, a tanned woman with long black hair, jackal ears and furry paws replacing her former limbs as her flail transformed into a golden scale. Wearing gold decorations and baggy purple pants.
"You entered the premises without even answering the Sphinx's riddle!"
"Look if the riddle has something to do with walking on four in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening. I know its 'Man'."
"H-How did you know that riddle already?" The Anubis demanded.
"It's quite an old riddle actually, my friends used to talk about it one time."
"Is that so? Did you know there was one more riddle rarely asked?"
"Gee I wonder what it is?" Liliana replied sarcastically. "Lemme guess.... There are two sisters, one gives birth to the other while the other gives birth to her.... The answer to that riddle is 'Day and Night' Yes?"
