A dragon and her girl (Request)
Once upon a time, there was a land not that different from our own. It was a land where man and beast lived together for one goal: to serve their mistresses. Born with the gift of magic, these women reigned with an iron fist but swore to stay away from each other. However, there were exceptions to this non-written rule. Such was the case of the human girl Alicia. The records say that she was last seen entering the domain of the dragoness Galena before all mentions of her name vanished without a trace, until now. This is her story.
Request for Mr War.
-“You know, at first I found your little acts of defiance to be kind of cute…" The dragoness said while circling her prey.
It had been a peaceful day. The birds were singing, the bears were hunting, and all the other slaves were also doing their respective chores. Everything was perfect, until the moment the human girl decided to show up and made a pathetic attempt at taking away everything from her.
It was incredibly obvious that Alicia, as the human called herself, was no match for the dragoness. A lousy attempt at a fire spell, and a few other useless spells, was all she could muster before the Great Galena had decided that it was enough. Now, the human girl was bound in the middle of the room with her face right next to the floor. Where it belonged.
-“Fuck you!"
The dragoness put one foot on Alicia's neck, making sure that the tip of her sandal touched the girl's mouth and nose, “But now, I'm getting tired of them."
However, the question remained about what to with the girl. Kill her? No, that would be too easy. Besides, there had to be a better way to deal with her. Something that showed her and everyone else not to mess with the Great Galena. She looked around the room for ideas, but nothing seemed to catch her attention until she saw a small black thing in the corner of her eyes.
Bingo.
She removed her foot from Alicia's face and took a few steps back. Grinning at the squirming girl at her feet, she put one hand next to her face and made a circle with her fingers. The human would finally see what a fire spell was supposed to look like when the dragoness blew into the hole and flames went hurling straight towards girl.
Alicia closed her eyes and awaited her fate as she was engulfed by the fire. She could feel how it devoured her clothes as it traveled along her body, yet the flames only seemed to be licking her skin. Even if the heat was unbearable, there was no pain. She didn't understand what Galena was trying to do, but everything became clearer when she opened her eyes and tried to look at the dragoness.
Before, even when completely bound to the floor, Alicia could still see the dragoness' face; but now she could only see up to her knees. She was a shrinking! The girl tried a counter-spell, but the heat concentrated on her throat and it got so dry she couldn't say anything. After a few minutes, the fire disappeared and only a metallic feeling was left where it once was.
The girl dragged one hand to her neck. It was trembling, yet she had to know for sure what it was. When it finally reached there, her fears were confirmed. The shape, the marks, the feeling. The one thing she had seen throughout most of her life, and the one thing she had put herself many times. A slave collar.
She was a woman, and a witch to boot. How could this have happened? It had to be a dream, or a trick, or anything else. It didn't matter what it was just… not the truth. Absorbed in her thoughts, Alicia didn't see the dragoness take off one of her sandals and it was only when she noticed the big shadow below her that she looked up at the bare sole dangling above her.
-"Lick."
Even with the binding circle was gone, Alicia didn't move an inch. The collar started to glow and then to heat, but she still refused to obey; so it got tighter and lifted her towards the foot. It didn't matter if she wanted to lick it or not, since the magic in the collar could force her if it had to, but she would defy it until the end. However, just as her tongue was about to make contact with the sole in front of her, she fell back to the floor.
-“Sorry, I forgot that someone like you doesn't know how to do this." The dragoness said. She turned around and pointed at one of her slaves, the owner of the muzzle she had seen not so long ago, “You, come here!"
The slave crawled as fast as he could towards his mistress, more than happy to serve, standing in four legs next to her. Once there, he felt something stuck in one of his paws, but the dragoness held him tight to stop him from moving and noticing the small human below his toes.
Alicia couldn't be more humiliated. Not only had she been turned into this, but now she was lower than the dirt in the feet of a slave. Worst of all, a beast slave! Pinned under it and forced to smell its musk, she didn't know what would be better: do as the dragoness said or get crushed by this dog, become a smear in its paws, and then be eaten as it cleaned itself. Fortunately, she was freed when it was forcibly moved to the side.
-“Pay attention, my pet. This one will show you how it's done."
Alicia turned her head to see the beast happily chewing the tip of one of the sandals. However, as soon as Galena gave the order, it stopped and went for the dragoness toes. It licked, sucked, slurped, kissed, and occasionally bit the dragoness foot; much to the human's disgust, even if she had ordered many of her slaves to do the same before.
-“Now it's your turn." Galena smirked as she looked at the terrified expression of her pet, “Don't worry, it's already clean. But before…"
The dragoness started chanting a spell and flames came out of the girl's collar. At first, they burned her clothes and then the fire started to cool down again and became rubber. Her hands were encased in mittens, since her mistress didn't command her to use her hands. Finally, the flames got to her eyes and became into a blindfold, since a slave's purpose is to obey and only needs his ears to understand his orders. She didn't have a snout to be muzzled, and she was meant to use her mouth for her next task, so she was not gagged. The only clothes she would have from now on, since they were the only ones a slave needed. As for her voice, the collar would take care of that.
Still laughing, Galena snapped her fingers, and the girl was lifted towards her foot. “Come on, lick it!"
Again, the girl refused, but the dragoness would not let her off so easy. Alicia's body was dragged back and forth the bare sole in front of her, indirectly both cleaning and massaging it. Not long after, the magic in the collar forced her to face the foot and took out her tongue. Alicia lapped at the sole. The taste was a mix of the dragoness' own flavor and the thick spit of the slave that had taken care of it before, with a small side of the dirt that had remained stuck in between the scales.
Galena the Great looked at her new pet do her job, but there was something missing. Sure, she could force the girl to do anything she wanted, yet it wasn't enough. No, she'd need to do something else to make her pay for the crime of defying her. The human had to do this by herself, only then would her punishment be adequate.
Alicia was still lapping at the sole when she felt a change in her collar. The magic was less restrictive than before and she was moving downwards. Once she was back in the floor, the collar stopped having an influence on her and everything was silent. Even the beast's worship was silent now, though she could still hear it panting.
-“Well, Alicia, maybe I was a little rough with you. What you did was wrong in many ways, but it's not like we are that different from each other. Maybe we could deal with this in a different way. Not with spells, one more… fit to your abilities. If you win, I'll return you back to normal. However, if you lose…"
-“I submit to you willingly, right?"
A smiled appeared at the dragoness face, “I knew you were a bright girl. So, what's your choice?"
Alicia didn't like where this was going. Even if there was no chance for her to escape, her honor remained. No one would look down on her since she was being forced to do these kinds of things. Moreover, no witch ever played fair in this type of battles and the girl had everything stacked against her. Yet, this could be her only opportunity to escape and, also, to get back at the dragoness.
Galena continued staring at the girl, waiting for her to give the answer they both knew she would give. Alicia turned towards the dragoness and nodded. She would be in hell if she lost, but that wouldn't be that different from her current situation.
A foot descended upon the human girl before she could notice. Completely surrounded by it, Alicia hit the dragoness again and again. Was this part of the game? She didn't now, but she still wanted to get rid of it as soon as she could.
-“Stop that, it tickles!" The girl stopped. Part of the game or not, she wouldn't be pleasing the dragoness more than she had to, “There, that's better. Just take in the smell."
Alicia didn't have any other choice but to wait and, after what felt like an eternity, Galena removed her foot from the human girl before putting the other one down, crushing her until the dragoness finished with whatever she was doing. Unlike the last time, Alicia could feel a small wet spot in the sole above her just where she was. Finally, the foot lifted again and she was set free for the moment.
The girl stayed down, expecting to be stepped on again, but nothing happened. A few moments later, she stood up and looked for her captor. She had to be close, since the beast's worshipping could be heard nearby. Then, she heard the familiar sound of a foot coming towards her. She braced for the impact, but it stopped just in front of her.
-“I painted each of my claws a different color. I'll give you time to get acquainted with all of them before I touch you with one at random. If you guess its color correctly, you win." Alicia felt a sharp thing poking at her forehead, “First: Pink."
If they were really different colors, there had to be other differences. She doubted that she could tell by the smell, no matter how strong it was, so she had to find another way. The claw was too sharp to risk licking it and getting cut. The girl opened her mouth, sucking would be easier and probably less dangerous.
The nail polish was still wet, so her mouth got smeared the claw got deeper in her. She could tell that it was the big toe just by the size, but she needed to find something else if she wanted to have a way to identify the rest of them.
Once it penetrated her as far as she felt comfortable, she started to suck it and lick its sides. The taste was similar to the smell, strong and non-descriptive. It had all been a complete waste of time. Thankfully for her, the claw soon left her mouth and another one took its place.
-“Second: Red."
Having learned from her past experience, the girl ignored the claw and chose instead to follow it to its base. She touched the toe, but that was useless too. It didn't matter how much she tried to inspect it with her hands, the mittens covering them would get in the way. The only parts of her body not covered by rubber were her mouth, her cheeks, and her nose. She had to find a way to use them.
She traced the claw until she found the exact place where it and the toe joined, and prepared herself. A kiss, followed by several other ones. All following the shape of the union between claw and toe. However, it was nothing more than a distraction. In each kiss, Alicia made sure to lick the spot thoroughly, leaving a wet mark and part of her own scent in it. This way she would be able to tell one from another.
She didn't know how much time she had left with this toe, so she hurried to at least get the whole base wet. After she had, she tried to go to the sides of the toe. It seemed that the dragoness enjoyed the willing care her pet was giving her since she didn't stop her from doing so. Nonetheless, Alicia didn't want to make any more risks and only gave a few kiss in the curve that was between the front and the side of the toe before dashing to the other side and doing the same. Barely 2-3 marks in, the foot moved again.
-“Next: Green."
Once again, the girl ignored the claw and went straight for the toe and kissed the lower part of it. Now with slightly more time, she moved towards one of the sides while kissing as much as she could in between.
This toe was thinner than the previous one, a fact she discovered when she suddenly hit a wall of scales. From this, she knew she was farther from the pink toe than before, but how far? Since she could already tell this one from its siblings, she decided to take the risk of following it to the next claw. With one cheek touching the wall, she finally found what she was looking for.
One of her marks.
She ran as fast as she could to the toe she was supposed to be inspecting and to its other side. There, she made her way downwards looking for another one while kissing as much as she could. However, no matter how much she advanced, she didn't find any. It could only mean one thing, this was the little toe.
The foot moved again, but she didn't feel the usual poking. Instead, she was surrounded by three walls of flesh, one in front of her and two at her sides. The smell was stronger than before. It reminded her of the time she was stuck under the beasts paws.
-“Fourth: Blue, the one to your left."
After giving a kiss to the wall in front of her, she followed the one to her left in search of the claw. As she got closer, her path got narrower until she finally hit a fourth one. She tried to squeeze between the two toes because, even if she knew she was next to the pink toe, she still had to mark this one.
The girl moved little by little, until the dragoness had enough and opened her toes to give her more space. Galena the Great knew the small trick her pet tried to do, and she'd let her continue to think she had a chance. After all, there was no way the girl would win.
With the few time she had left, Alicia hurried to kiss the toe at the sides. Something that took her more than she expected, since it seemed that this was the biggest toe after the pink one.
-“Last, but not least: Purple."
It could only be in one place: between the blue and red toes. Still, she had to mark it too if she didn't want to raise any suspicions. With the tip of the claw being pink, the base of the claw being red, one whole side being green, and the second biggest being blue; the claw itself would be purple.
She first put her lips on the claw. The nail polish had already dried, so it was safe to lick. She started a few steps away from the base, to not confuse it with the red one, and made her way along the claw. As she followed it, she noticed that it curved as it went further along. Finally, she stopped before the tip and returned towards the base, kissing it all the way back.
The game had yet to end, but the dragoness had already gotten what she wanted. The pitiful display of the human was almost enough to make her want to forgive her. Almost. Anyway, they had a deal and they would have to get on with it. Both of their words were at stake.
Alicia felt a small draft as the dragoness lifted her foot, before another one came. The dragoness had put down her foot, and Alicia waited for the game to begin. It likely wouldn't be the pink or green toes, so that meant she only had to guess between the other three. She waited until she felt the familiar sharp pain in her forehead.
-“Take your time."
Alicia got closer to the claw and put her cheek next to the tip. It was wet. She couldn't believe the stroke of luck she just had, but, just to be certain, she then started to feel the rest of the claw. It was wet too.
She ran to the base of the claw and touched it. Wet. The scales surrounding it. Wet. No matter where she touched, everything was wet and sticky. She licked the toe in a desperate attempt to identify it, but there was something weird about the taste. That was when she noticed that it smelled different too. Almost like—
-“I switched feet for the test. I wouldn't like for you to cheat, but don't worry. I painted them in the same order."
What order? Right to left? Big to little?
Not only had she been found out, but now she had nothing she could use to guess. Facing the toe, she ran to her left and straight into another one. At least she knew that it wasn't the big toe, and that's when she remembered the things she had noticed about them. There was still hope, though it depended on how much time Galena decided to give her.
She followed the wall of scales all the way to the top and hugged the toe. It was big, but not enough. With only three options left, she hurried back down until she hit the original toe again. She had gotten some of the beasts spit on her mouth, but there wasn't enough time to worry about that.
She hurried to the other side of the toe and ran down again to the next one. This meant that it wasn't the little toe either. If only she could do it a third time, she'd know the one she was supposed to guess. However, the foot fell on top of her when she tried to do so.
Alicia was in trouble. There were two options left. A 50% chance and that was without taking into account that she didn't know the color order. If it was the middle toe, she'd get it right no matter what. If it was the ring toe, there was still the issue of color.
-“It's guessing time."
She started to think. Galena hadn't stopped her when she went for the two surrounding toes, why would she stop her when she went for the next one? Was it because she didn't want Alicia to find there were no more toes, or was it to stop her from finding that there were? The answer to that question would be the key to this game.
-“Purple."
The dragoness laugh filled the room and Alicia felt a sharp pain in her eyes. For a moment, she wondered about what it could be. Had something scratched her? Was the rubber covering her eyes gone? Had Galena removed her eyesight for good? The girl leaned more for the last possibility, since nothing seemed wrong when she touched her eyes. Yet, she could only see black in front of her and she was sure her eyes were open.
As her eyes got more used to the light, she started to notice a few small cracks in front of her, almost like if they were scales. That was when she realized that she was looking at one of the ebony toes from the dragoness, from which an equally black claw emerged.
-“I'm sorry, someone got a little too enthusiastic while waiting for you to finish."
Only a fool would take part in a witch battle. Cheating was common, even expected, in these games and the human girl had no other choice but to pay the price. Galena the Great smiled and moved a foot next to her pet.
-“Open wide"
The dragoness watched as the girl came closer to it and started to worship out of her own will. It was such a beautiful sight, and one that Galena would enjoy for as long as she could, but everything has an end.
One day, the human girl would get bigger in order to better fulfill her mistress orders. She'd be the only one tending to her feet, and maybe also to the rest of her body, since she was special. Unlike the rest of her collection, she wasn't born to serve and she knew what she was missing. Thus, such a special situation demanded for her to have a special task just for her.
After all, there were millions of men out there waiting to serve, thousands of women waiting to be served, but there would only be one Alicia.
