#Lore24 – Entry #204 – Supers Month II #23 – Souls Fit for a Queen
Musings of Demon Lord Kurae
Queen’s ego may be larger than even herself, and that’s saying something for a demon who has a fifty-plus foot body composed of nothing but tentacles, but when she puts her mind to something, she gets results! Look at how many playthings she’s brought to me, and how curious they are! Why, this one has practically changed fully into something that resembles a werewolf, and yet, its soul is distinctly still human, but infused with a most unique flavor of magical energies. And this one, I’d call her a half-cow; you know, with her breasts being that large, I daresay she’ll make a fine addition to the milking stable, once properly trained. This one would make a passable kitsune, I think; perhaps I can work with it and turn it into a mate for my Kitsune? We’ll see…
What say you, pet? What has occurred here? You are the foremost expert on such things in your world, are you not?
Oh…yes, of course. I forget that your magi are stunted in this realm and must have a bond with a familiar regardless of the powers they wield. So, you’re saying that these humans have bonded with their familiars? Oh, oh! You’re telling me that they’re not aware of their bonds with them? Oh, your kind is even dumber than I could have imagined! Give me a moment while I enjoy a most earnest laugh at humanity’s expense!
And what do you make of those whom Queen has taken for herself, then? The slutty teenager, the ponyboy, and the insane woman overflowing with raw magical essence? What of their familiars? Only the ponyboy comes close, but his animal features are all leather and latex, so that doesn’t count. Oh? A total merging of spiritual essences? They and their familiars are truly one, are they? Hence why there’s little in the way of limits upon their potential? Ohhhh, how curious…so now you’re telling me that the familiars that were bonded with the others were essentially newly created by the explosion, and these are familiar spirits that have existed for a long time, and have grown much stronger since the flow of magic was dammed up?
Hmmm…this is a potentially dangerous complication, my pet. Just how many of these old-spirit familiars could there be? And just how are they picking their targets, and choosing what powers they grant? I daresay that ponyboy is as strong as Queenie in her natural form, and the raw destructive power of the girl she pulled out of the nuthouse is incredible; fortunately, Queenie has just the thing to keep her on the straight and narrow, something to keep her properly focused. The slut, though…I still haven’t quite grasped her powers even though I can sense she’s strong, but she’s also an idiot…I suppose Queen saw something special, or just wanted another plaything. She’s on the upper scale of attractiveness for a human, but I’m not even certain that she’s aware she even made a deal with a demon, let alone traversed to another plane of existence with all her complaints about not having ‘signal’. Whatever.
Now it’s your turn, pet. We’re going to do some experiments while my minions are looking for those relics, and you’re going to learn exactly how to recreate this phenomenon for me. And you’re going to do it because you are my loyal, loving slave. Still, if you feel the need to disobey, I will never deny you my most loving punishments.
