His eyes narrowed. "You are not to violate my mindscape in any way. But speaking to one another is a non issue. No, it might actually be preferable." He smiled. With that, they left the mansion, hand in hand. Night was soon to fall.

Amanda

"I dont know if I should pity you or laugh. Alright time for a lesson in politics. Don't rely on Elizabeth. She's entirely apathetic and she's not gonna do anything until 10 years have passed at which point she'll do something arbitrary that completely blindsides you. "

Amanda sighed and shook her head.

"look I appreciate your help but what we need is someone who's physically strong, like really strong. That's their one weak point."

Eruraviel

Eru threw up her hands in exaserbation. "Why don't you watch Sage and I have a spar, then? I trust your judgements, don't get me wrong, but you haven't seen either of our full physical powers. I'd like an honest judgement after you see what we're capable of."

She turned to sage and smiled. "Physical powers only, kay? They have an annoying fool who's immune to supernatural powers."

Amanda

"Fine fine... just follow me...."

She lead the two of them through a door into a much larger room. The design of it was completely different from the entrance hall,and you could clearly see it was meant for something like this with the large open area in the center. But it didn't make much sense for this to be right next to the entrance, not to mention a subtle shift space had occurred when they entered.

Not strange when you considered that it was a separate plane from the room they just left, one that was layered beneath it.

"You two can fight here without holding back, don't worry about breaking anything. I doubt you could even if you tried."

Sage

She shivered at the sensation of departing from the natural world. The druid wrapped her arms around herself as though struck by a winter chill. Her head turned this way and that, slowly, taking in the de facto cage Amanda had brought them to. It was only the sight of Eruraviel in total comfort here that allowed Sage to release the stress with a sigh. "Very well."

The sound of an explosion echoed through the chamber like a thousand bones shattering to pieces at once. Her skin tore open violently to reveal a vast expanse of smooth oaken hide, rapidly expanding to fill the space the green-haired elf had once stood in with tons of draconian fury. A thunderous roar shook their insides as a verdant canopy extended out from long wooden limbs pressing out from its back. It reared up upon its hind limbs, neck stretching in preparation for a lunching strike, and glared down with orbs of primal might set within its sockets.

'Show me your strength, Eruraviel!'

Eruraviel

The elven girl chucked at Sage's roar, finding it cute rather than scary. "Yes yes, give me a minute."

She shrugged off her dress, lithely slipping out of the restraining fabric and allowing the magical artifact to fall into a heap on the floor. She slipped out of her shoes and removed her stockings as well, baring her naked form to both the dragon and her girlfriend. An entirely flaccid cock hung between her legs, swaying as she hopped back and forth, stretching.

Then, her eyes suddenly flashed red, and tainted power began to emenate from her. "Releasing restraints on power; loosening restrictions."

Her skin began to melt off as her body seemed to expand. She grew larger, and, within a second, her body had burst, out of which a great purple beast emerged, dripping viscous beads of acid onto the floor, sizzling against the magical wards. Two horns burst out of her head, a tail soon following with an oozing, pointed stinger. Finally, great purple arms burst out of her back, and the demon smirked at sage with sadistic pleasure.

"Defeat me if you can, Sage!" She roared out, crimsom eyes watching Sage's soul, putting her on edge as she felt the elf's power prying into her everything.

[Aiden]

Sage

It would not be the first time the elf had gazed upon this beast's spirit. That alone prevented the sensation from providing an opening.

A deep rumble echoed through the chamber as the arboreal dragon brought its great mass down upon the demon with Eruraviel's eyes with a roar. Its front limb swept across the front, immense size and power giving the attack a speed and breadth of motion that defied the expectations of the inexperienced. It had crushed many an adventurer before.

[SINIB]

Eruraviel

Unfortunately, Eruraviel Lavinnia was hardly inexperienced. Hunting dragons had been one of her many specialties in her youth, and while it was really very different to be attempting to fight one in close combat from being a backline caster, one distinct advantage remained that had carried her through many, many difficult fights.

Her eyes flashed red. She saw what was coming next. She saw the telltale signes of the movement telegraphed all across her soul. She saw the intent, the speed, everything.

With surprising speed for her bulk, she rushed in towards the incredible beauty, hugging close to the ground. Her speed and ferocity far surpassed anything Sage was used to with her.

Sliding underneath the claw, a pair of her own came arcing out to rake at the dragon's skin.

[Aiden]

Sage

How the elf could manage such a prescience maneuver only just occurred to the draconian druid in retrospect. It was left with a gouge across its thick wooden hide, and it screeched in shock and pain that was quickly drowned out by the adrenaline of battle. Immediately, before even Eruraviel's precognitive abilities could account for, it brought its other frontal limb toward its chest to crush the demon against its hide. It would attempt to crush her...!

Eruraviel

"Kyahaha!" She chortled at Sage. Her manic laughter filled the room, echoing off the cold stones.

She saw her intent again, the resolve to win-

"You're so cute, Sage!" Her enormous hands shot up and grabbed onto her pet's hide, attempting to lift her up. She planted her limbs on the ground, bracing herself and then trying to lift Sage off the ground.

[Aiden]

Sage

Unfortunately for Eruraviel, Sage had a key advantage in this particular contest: she was much larger. As such, it was a simple matter to just lift the demonic elf up from the ground before she could heft up the dragon she was contesting. Then the second arm came around to crush her like a great vice seeking to squeeze the life from her.

'HOW MUCH CAN YOU TAKE?'

[Bern]

Amanda

Just then a roaring fire blast came between them with enough force to send both of them flying separate ways, it was powerful enough to burn even a mighty dragon like Sage.

"Enough!"

Amanda's voice cut through the stale air with even more authority that the flames that preceded it. She walked over to Eru's demonic form seemingly unconcerned with the acidic substance that the demonic girl was exuding all over the floor. The owner of the mansion then put her hands on her hips ready to lecture her fiance.

"Don't even think about using that form. I don't think you can even fully control it..." Her eyes did show her enough about the transformation, or perhaps it was more accurate to call it possession, that demon was struggling for control.

"And on top of that you really suck at close combat."

Eruraviel

The dragon's claw tightened around her-it was uncomfortable, but not unbearable. She knew that she'd be fine, that she'd win-

Then, Amanda shouted, and her heart sank. She already knew that she was having trouble making the best decisions, that she was making a foolish stand to look cool in front of her lovers, and that she was in a compromising position.

She sighed, scratching the back of her gooey head with her back claw. "So, I can't hide anything from you? It is a rather incomplete form, isn't it..." She muttered, slowly returning to her normal form.

[Aiden]

Sage

The dragon rustled its wings, a motion and sound like a canopy of tree branches being moved in the wind. It rumbled in discomfort from the sudden burst of searing pain that swiftly disappeared beneath the lightest of healing magic while shaking off the arcane fires Amanda produced. Then, it craned its head to peer at the young sorceress, bright shining eyes taking her measure anew.

'Your measures are all too abrupt, young human. T'would have been but a moment's effort to request the cessation of my actions.'

[Bern]

Amanda

"Heh, of course you can't Eru dear, I'm all seeing!"

Just then, she leaned closer and gave the Elf a kiss on the cheek. "You don't need to force some brawn out, I much prefer you use that wonderful brain you have."

And then she turned her attention back to the dragon and scratched her head. "Yeah about that, I had two reason for that. First, I wanted to see how you'd react to a sudden attack. Secondly, it was a good opportunity to get back at Eru for cheating on me~"

[SINIB]

Eruraviel

Eruraviel returned to her normal elven form in short order, the last thing to retract into her body being the two enormous arms bursting out of her back. She shook her head, huffing in annoyance. "That always takes so much out of me..." She complained. "And what do you mean, cheating! Haven't you ever heard of a harem? Or casual sex? Completely normal! Sage is my beloved concubine, and you are my beloved fiancee! I have plenty of love to share between the two of you!"
