Manipulated [Maya]

[Celia Darkson]

After the "Countermeasure" had been activated and given its directive, there was one thought that lingered heavily on Celia's mind. It was some time after Zienna had been bound to her, those who forged pacts with her steadily lost their lives as they could no longer sustain their existence. It was all Celia's fault but after coming to that conclusion, she remembered the person who suggested the act in the first place. Zienna's own mother, Maya Eroheim, who spoke to her about the act and neglected to mention that it could have untold side effects. The way how she recalled that meeting to begin with, made it hint as though Maya herself had been bound to Juno in a similar manner, but as far as the vampire-succubus could recount, Maya still had all of her "retainers." Confusion plagued her for a couple of weeks following Zienna's binding and now, Celia determined to figure out why such a side effect harmed her wife so.

Celia came back to her home away from home, the dormant Mages Tower that stood still in its past years after she absorbed all the knowledge from it. The woman contemplated on bringing it back, considering no nuisances could touch its hallowed ground. Tsumiko guarded over it as well, so there was always that factor. Nevertheless, Celia felt the most attachment to the place and had to use it as a stage for the ritual. Maya was an elder succubus who was quite powerful. She had free reign to wander the realms as she saw fit, so it was nearly impossible to just seek her out lest one went to Limbo. There wasn't time for that, though, so Celia stuck to her next best chance at a conversation. A demonic ritual.

Candles were set in a very specific pattern and Celia made sure to draw out the chalk lines perfectly. After which, she focused on her own magical reserves and used herself as a catalyst. When she attuned with the meaning of the lines, they began to glow in her own natural color (a blood-red). Words of a foreign language quickly left her lips in a ritualistic manner, her eyes closed and the air growing thick with energy. She reached out towards Maya using her own essence as a sort of lure, a way to attract the succubus to her. Should this work, it wouldn't take long for the two to come face to face eventually.

[Zienna]

The unnatural ripples of space and time began to disturb the peace the elder succubus was enjoying. She was in the middle of slumber when the signature of summoning tugged her awake. "Huuu~ Mortals... Always have to disturb beings enjoying a little peace and quiet. No wonder half of them end up being torn to pieces seconds later."

Maya was in a dark room, the air musty with floral scents and warm with the cumulative heat of candles long burnt out or extinguished by the air. After taking her time waking herself up, she teleported herself to the rip in dimensions caused by a summoning ritual. The rip was a portal between this world, and the world from which the summoner was in, and as such, it attracted others to it as well. In fact, there was a gathering at the site already. Demons of all shapes, sizes, and species were eying it. They could enter if they wanted to, but even the dullest and lowest creature knew to be cautious of the scents that entered through. Wouldn't want to be captured or anything.

The succubus had entered through many of these rifts, both as surprise unexpected visits and out of curiosity. She had been captured before, of course, but it ended up well enough. A case of Stockholm Syndrome didn't do any good in the end for her captor though.

But when the scent beyond the rift reached her, she instantly recognized it as her sweet, luscious daughter-in-law. How splendid! It was about time she called, Maya was worried that she had taken her daughter and ran away without so much as a letter. But just as mentioned before, anyone could enter through the rifts, and a young topless succubus among the fray had decided to venture out. She had blond hair, and golden eyes, with bat wings as her choice of wings. Maya knew she was an active little thing. Didn't talk much though, but her eyes did all the talking anyway. Celia was going to have her hands full. As far as she could tell, no one else was in the area. Such a shame, she would have liked to see the rest of the family.

The blond succubus crawled out of the rift, and immediate eyed Celia with eyes that beckoned for some loving. She had started to make her way towards the mage, her tail flicking from side to side. And to add to Celia's current predicament, a pair of arms wrapped around her, pinning her own arms to her side. Then followed a cooing voice whispering to her ear. "Hello, Celia~ Surely there would have been better methods of getting in contact, like visiting~ It seems you have attracted the young one too~"

[Celia Darkson]

Summonings weren't exactly a new thing for the vampire-succubus, in fact she often communed with those who shan't be communed with and inquired upon their knowledge. Something like this wasn't frightening and she had an idea of what to expect. Magic crackled in the palm of her hands and flared between her fingers, showing her readiness to fight whatever malignant force lingered on the other side. The form of summoning she used could be considered "barbaric" at best and it was actually Marigold who had the ability to work summonings far better than any other family member thus far.

Celia could smell the demonic scents that permeated the air from the portal and waited to see what'd jump out at her. Lo and behold, it was someone who she didn't want to see. A stranger and succubus, with blonde locks, almost in the nude and with bat-like wings. No words had been exchanged between the two of them, where Celia merely frowned and eyed her closely. Those eyes spelled trouble of the sensual kind, a succubus who craved sex and said as much with her eyes. "Who are-!?" She meant to ask the beings name but was interrupted.

Her arms pinned to herself, she struggled in the grasp only to freeze up immediately. A voice cooed into her ear and it was none other than Maya. That was when she stopped struggling all together. She'd keep the presence of the "young one" in her mind and focused her eyes over to her mother-in-law. "Another one of your tricks, mother?" The woman asked but soon grimaced. "On second thought, it's not important right now. I have something that I wish to discuss with you." Celia said in a very serious tone. Without realizing, her eyes narrowed only slightly.

[Zienna]

"Trick? No, this one just found your scent enticing. There's just something about you and calling to succubi it seems~" Maya was almost cradling Celia now. The elder succubus pulled her close so that she was sitting on her lap. Her hand touched Celia's cheek softly before nuzzling her daughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, the younger succubus was advancing as well, yet didn't make a move yet since she was in the presence of a much more notable succubus who may have wanted first dibs on Celia. As if communicating through unknown means, the blond succubus sat on her heels, her hands between her legs and propping the rest of her body up, slightly leaning towards the pair with a playful longing.

"So what did you need from me, my dear? Do you need some relief? A massage, maybe? Our little friend here may be able to help too~"

At her mention, the other succubus perked up, grinning.

[Celia Darkson]

"Seems I've a knack for attracting one-night stands." She joked darkly but didn't resist wen cradled by her mother-in-law. Her body naturally shivered when nuzzled, a by-product of it happening often between she and Zienna. Oddly enough, the woman leaned her face into Maya's hand.

Her eyes trailed over to the blonde succubus that drew ever closer to them. She was being "good" in the sense that there wasn't an immediate threesome going on, but Celia was wary of both women in the room. The stranger succubus was adorable to say the least.

After their moment of getting situated and comfortable, the mother began to ask what Celia required of her. The thought of a massage and/or relief from the both of them caused her to blush slightly (her more succubus genes acting up) but she shook her head and returned her eyes to Maya. "I wanted to ask you about the binding."

"You didn't mention it'd kill off those connected to her on a spiritual level. Did you know that was going to happen?" Celia asked and gave her mother-in-law a skeptical look.

[Zienna]

"It would have been great if you used that tendency of yours to actually bed someone other than my daughter. You would have plenty of people eating out of your palms~" Maya teased, somewhat feeling disappointed that her daughter-in-law didn't use her new powers as much as she should have. It was a waste of potential the way she saw it. Definitely a far cry compared to the young one in the room, patiently waiting for any action to start, but she guessed that was to be expected. Things were different when you were raised in Limbo, or even Hell for that matter. She couldn't exactly say anything for Heaven since that was one place she hadn't gone to. Yet.

"'Kill' is a rather harsh word for it, but yes, I suppose that is one way to put it," she said nonchalantly as if it were no big deal. "Although 'being released' would be a kinder way of referring to it, my dear daughter-in-law. But yes, I did know what would happen. It was a shame though, she had quite the collection, and an attractive one at that~"

Maya stroked Celia's pretty little head gently, as if she were grooming a pet. The other succubus started to whine, obviously a little eager for some action. "Now now, there will be time for that later. Why don't you come by my side for a moment?" she invited the young succubus, who crawled up and snuggled under Maya's arm. Maya placed her hand on the succubus' head and lightly stroked her hair as well. But as she did so, the succubus started getting sleepy and soon just fell asleep, her head resting on Celia's shoulder.

"Succubi her age can be a handful. I'll let her sleep for now. I'm sure you know what happens when they're denied the stimulation they're craving."

[Celia Darkson]

"Your daughter satisfies my urges enough, mother." Celia answered in a curt tone, turning her eyes away. The whole reason of binding the succubus to her to begin with, was to selfishly indulge in those pleasures personally. Celia could never admit it, but she loved how Zienna dominated her, pleasured her, broke her in all the right ways, made her scream out in pure lust to the point of immediate orgasm. They had done so much in the last twenty years and that was more than enough time, to ponder how they did certain things to each other's bodies. The woman found herself licking her lips at the thought, however, shook her head to focus.

Rage grew within and her eyes flashed a dangerous red, she wanted to lash out at Maya but had to contain herself. The last thing Celia needed was being thrashed about and her strength failing against whatever sexual assault Maya planned. Her breathing became heavy, the heart in her chest beat fiercely, rapidly, and her eyes dilated. Truly, she was infuriated by the nonchalant attitude her mother-in-law took with the whole thing, especially since she knew. "You knew and yet you...!? They weren't just some collection, they were beings who grew to enjoy her company and you suggested me the binding knowing full well what would happen! How could you!?" She bared her vampiric fangs, hissing. That whining, blonde succubus nearly received apart of that wrath but once again Celia controlled her actions.

There would be no more talking about the subject until the being went to sleep and when she had, there was the uncomfortable feeling of having the strange, mute girl resting on her. "Mother, why...? Your own daughter lost those who she'd fight to defend... They were her companions and now they're gone, all of them, because of my own selfish desire..." Her eyes began to well with tears, though, the woman forced them down. "Why didn't you tell me that'd happen? Why, mother...?"

[Zienna]

Maya just chuckled at the outburst of rage, almost as if she was mocking the girl. In fact, that was what she was about to do too. "What, did you want me to babysit you through your marital problems?" With a chuckle, she nuzzled Celia's head lovingly. "I expected someone of your caliber would have thought to think of the consequences of her actions. I expected you to know that the ones my daughter bonded with to become her familiars took their portion of power from her own energy which was the catalyst that allowed for accumulation of more energy, which her familiars would then feed back to her. Of course, when the source was restricted to just tend to one person, that would choke the others of their share, and so their energies will only dwindle since the catalysts were taken from them. It's simple cause and effect, my dear. With your boundless knowledge from your elder gods, I assumed you knew how this worked. Unless they aren't as smart as they seem."

While she was explaining what had happened to Zienna's familiars, Celia would have felt the blond succubus' face heat up and blush, and she was ever so slightly squirming in her sleep with the occasional cross between a squeak and a moan escaping from her lips. Maya was feeding some sensual dreams into the succubus to keep her occupied while she and her daughter-in-law had a heart to heart.

[Celia Darkson]

It took considerable constitution to bite her tongue in face of the woman's condescending words. That angered temperament began to dip the more Maya explained the reasoning behind the disappearance of the familiars. Truth be told, the vampire-succubus knew to some degree but had hoped things had worked differently, either that or she deluded herself that gaining what she wanted didn't require some form of sacrifice. Almost all the rage left and was replaced with a sense of distraught. Whether or not she wanted to openly admit it, Celia was in the wrong. Defeated mentally, she slumped in the elder succubus' hold and didn't even care about the younger one, who seemed to be pleasured to a degree by Maya.

"They're a lot wiser than you, than me, than anyone I've ever met!" She exclaimed and hid her face, she felt ashamed. "So many lives I have claimed with the purpose of knowledge and experimentation, all done knowing full well what I had in store for all my test subjects. Maybe these last twenty years is everything coming full circle? The one time I seek happiness and take it, successfully, yet... I take more lives. Unintentionally, ironically, ignorantly. What a wife I've become." Celia laughed, pathetically and at herself. Her face buried in Maya's shoulder, she just laughed. Balling her hands into fists, she dug her nails into the palm of her hands. Self-harm had been something the mage had done to cope with past stress related to Zienna and her actions, a terrible habit she had yet to kick.

[Zienna]

"Yes, you are quite the handful," she chuckled again as she continued to soothingly stroke the two in her arms. "But just like this young one, you still have a lot to learn, and your elder god's wisdom may not always work out for the best. I mean, what do they know when we're talking through the lenses of a succubus? But putting that aside, its only normal for you to act the way you did. You weren't raised in our community. You hold different standards, and what's more, you have a bunch of ancient beings in your head that sorely needs to adjust to the times~"

She laughed softly. "But I'm proud of you. You cared enough about the familiars to be sorry for them, even though they were competition. I honestly thought you would have done away with Nero because Zienna spent so much time with him, or even Isis, since she too was a regular comforter for my daughter. But if it brings you any peace, I wanted to get rid of most of my daughter's familiars anyway. Some of them weren't a good match for her. Others were just not interesting enough. While we might just be creatures of lust, that doesn't mean a mother can't want the best for her daughter. And the good ones? Losing them was a shame for sure, but she has you now, doesn't she? And the fact that she agreed to be bound to you despite being able to take whoever she wanted means something, right? I'd trust Zienna enough to make the right choice. But as a mother worried for her health, I have to remind you to take good care of her. Otherwise, I'll have to jump in." Maya's fingers gently passed across Celia's neck, applying a little bit of pressure to imply the punishment waiting for her. But despite the threat, her voice was just as soft as soothing as it had been since she appeared before the mage.

[Celia Darkson]

There was no debating that since Maya hit the nail on the head. The Elder Gods were timeless beings all on their own, they didn't require getting with the times but maybe Maya was right in the sense they needed adjust something. Whether it was their outlook on lives as a whole or something else entirely, she didn't know. Being understood by her mother-in-law caused her tears to fall, finally. She looked up towards the woman. "No one else understood except you..." Celia mumbled softly, her nails leaving from her palms and her hands going into a more relaxed state.

What's more, Maya was proud of her and gave her point of view over all the familiars. The daughter didn't realize it, but she subconsciously reached her arms out to wrap them around the succubus' body, hugging her close to herself. Maya was an amazing mother. Celia sniffled softly and nodded her head when she mentioned to keep her daughter healthy. Fingers pressured around Celia's neck, she blushed, but otherwise knew what her mother-in-law meant. "I'll take care of her, I promise. After all, she's been out and about, teasing men and women alike, coming back home and well..." Her voice trailed off and her body shivered. "As horrible this may sound, it feels good to have her come home to me like that. I feel... Special."

[Zienna]

The way Celia was acting was cute. Crying and hugging her like Zienna used to do when she was younger. What a match up this was. When she was given a tidbit of their daily life, Maya smiled. She was happy that her daughter was still free to mess about with others since she imagined that that would have been one of the few things Zienna could enjoy when she wasn't having sex with Celia. And she appreciated the fact that Celia wasn't all that controlling of her daughter. They were compromising, which was a good sign, but with Zienna's active playfulness, Celia's patience may soon stretch thin. However that was a preventable issue if both played their cards right.

"You should. Usually the only time a succubus is limited to just one person is when they become a slave to bear the summoner's child, which would grow to be a mage gifted in demonic powers when they wouldn't have otherwise. The premise is only fun after a few weeks though, and you'll usually be starved if they come visit you only once every few days." The distant look on Maya's face suggested that this struck a bitter chord in her heart, however that was quickly replaced with a smile once again. "So I guess the two of you are getting along well? I haven't gotten any complaints from Zienna, other that you don't squirm as much anymore." Maya chuckled, as she caressed Celia's cheeks.

[Celia Darkson]

Those very same tears started to staunch their flow and eventually, her crying ceased completely. The mage wiped her eyes, sniffled to clear her nose of snot and took a deep breath to get her breathing regulated. Maya was old enough and knowledgeable due to her years of living, which equated to the amount of experience she garnered over those years. What Celia said earlier was out of line, she knew that now. That's why she beamed up towards Maya, giving her the respect she deserved.

Though, she caught that expression of disdain when the elder succubus mentioned how other succubi were bound and used as child bearing slaves, usually starved since their owners didn't visit them within acceptable times. It made sense why Maya was so very adamant about Celia keeping track of how much sexual activity she and Zienna had. "I couldn't bear to leave Zie-Zie in a state like that. Granted, a punishment would be to place toys on all of her erogenous zones, put them on their lowest settings, make sure her powers are nice and locked up, then suspend her in chains from a helpless point of view. But that'd only be for a couple of hours at a time anything longer is abuse." She muttered and shook her head afterwards, though, her blush grew brighter at the mentioning of her no longer "squirming." "N-No problems at all, really. Things have been excellent and beyond my expectations. There are times where she grows saddened but that's probably an after effect of the binding, I'm sure she misses her familiars dearly... I always use that as motivation to be there for her though. Keep her company and cater to whatever she desires." Celia explained with a gleeful smile. "As for the squirming, I'll chalk it up to me enjoying a lot of what's happening. The last time I squirmed, really, was when she made the cuts..."

Celia referenced the time of her change and even pointed to the couple of scars on her body, slowly running her finger along them. "More pain and blood should get me squirming and screaming nicely..." The woman mumbled not realizing just how perverted she's grown over the years.

[Zienna]

"That's just mean~" Maya said when she learned what Celia did to her daughter as a form of punishment. "Giving her some form of pleasure just enough to heat her up and leave her hanging there? I like your methods~ I'm sure the aftermath worked for you too, didn't it~?" She'd tease.

"So you like the pain? Well, I'll be sure to tell my daughter about that. I'm sure she'd be happy to cater to your needs, Celia~"

The blond succubus suddenly moaned out, her little body twitching violently before she went limp, breathing heavily with sweat covering her body. A bright blush was on her cheeks. Her hands grabbed on to both Maya and Celia's clothes, clenching them and not wanting to let go. There was a very satisfied look on her face.

"Ohoho, I seem to have went a little overboard with this one's dreams..." Maya chuckled and looked back to Celia. "You should try it some time. Dreams are fun to play around in. Everything is enhanced. But I'm sure Zienna has already been in your dreams on more than one occasion, hasn't she? What did the two of you do there, I wonder."

[Celia Darkson]

A bit of pride can be seen on that smirk Celia gave when praised for that punishment idea. She nodded in complete agreement at the mention of the ending. "But of course. Zienna became so forceful and didn't let me go for hours. It was amazing." Celia murmured and continued blush, even more so when Maya repeated the masochistic wants the vampire-succubus mentioned earlier. "Thank you, mother... I like it when she's forceful and dominant, since I am a bit of a ma-"

Her words were cut off when the younger succubus began to twitch and moan out loudly, falling limp and grabbing hold of them. Celia's eyes quickly shifted over to her and watched that beaming expression of hers. The smell of her orgasm had wafted into the air and the silver-haired woman's nose wiggled in response. It was definitely enticing but she'd be good.

"I think you did that on purpose." She chimed in, knowing full well that Maya enjoyed subjecting people to her pleasurable dominance. There was an interesting proposition struck up by her mother-in-law, something which made Celia curious for a while now and that was dreams. As part succubus there wasn't a doubt that she had the ability to weasel her way into a sleeping person's subconscious and manipulate much from within. "But you're correct. The first time I ever had sex those twenty years ago, Zienna had tired me out and I snuggled up to her, began to fall asleep and watched her masturbate to my image. When I did sleep, she came in and warped everything about my dream, turned it into something rather perverted and I... I liked it. She showed me a deep desire that day." Celia's smile grew at the thought. "Physically, I cut her open, played with her insides and she gave me the pleasure of hearing her scream. Then I found another use for my tentacle pets and used them on her holes, before Zie-Zie manipulated my dream self and gave me a male's genitalia. Then we kept going. Hours in the bed, hours in my mind..."

The way how she recounted the memory had her sigh in happiness. Truly, she never regretted giving it up to Zienna. The Elder Gods scrambled her mind, made her insane three times over and she always came back stronger than ever, yet a succubus like Zienna comes along and meticulously undoes certain aspects of that conditioning whether or not she realized it. Celia wanted to delve further now and that memory helped spur her passion. "Will you teach me about the way of dreams or should I spend that learning experience with my wife?"

[Zienna]

It wasn't that hard to come to the conclusion that Zienna would have taken all that built up lust and used Celia to satisfy herself. The mess afterwards would have been quite the chore to clean up, she imagined. Though she did want to see just what the two of them got up to during that time. Maybe she should set up a little chamber for the two of them. Have those toys raise their lust and then release them both while she watched the freakishness that extended horniness would bare. Now that was an idea she wanted to act upon immediately. If not on Zienna and Celia, maybe this young succubus and another of their kind back in Limbo. Maybe her granddaughter would like to help with it.

That satisfied look on the succubus' face would be all she will be showing once Maya was done with them.

Scheming aside, she listened to Celia recounting her first encounter with Zienna, and once again feeling pride well up in her. Zienna didn't allow Celia to rest, she revealed, breaking into her mind after breaking into her body. Though the part where Celia was given a male's organ sounded amusing. Maya had done that herself a number of times. It gave her something to scratch a certain itch, and it gave her victim a new experience that they were never going to forget.

"Well that's your choice. Do you want to figure it out for yourself, or do you want me to hold your hand? I'm fine with either choice. I do immensely enjoy walking young succubi through the dream world, but if you want to do it yourself, I understand."

The blond one started to twitch again, and let out a sharp gasp of air. Her ordeal was far from over.

[Celia Darkson]

"Hold my hand, mother..." Celia swallowed her pride when she requested the aid of Maya. "I'm sure Zienna wasn't a prodigy off the bat, that you had to teach her for a time. I may lack in understanding but I assure you I am a quick study." So that's what she'd do, give herself to Maya's tutelage and begin learning the true extent of her hidden abilities. Once more, however, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the blonde succubus, who apparently still under the effects of Maya's dream manipulating. For the mother to be able to go through the little one's dreams and still commune with Celia in the waking world spoke volumes of her abilities.

"I thank you for keeping her at bay, mother. She seemed so eager when she stepped through the summoning portal. I would have had to get a little rough with her if she continued to advance." Celia mentioned. From those words alone, it was obvious that she wanted to remain monogamous since it was only fair to Zienna, whom she bound for being the polygamous sort. Any who tried to sexually assault her usually ended being scorched to death.

[Zienna]

"Oh, it was my pleasure. Precious thing's the type to get straight down to business, but I wanted to talk to you first. You should really visit more often, Celia. We could have another heart-to-heart." Maya took Celia's hand and placed it over the blond succubus' head, who rubbed into it. Maya and Celia's hands glowed with power as the elder succubus channeled both their energies in a specific way. "Now, this is just the basic way of entering someone's dreams. Can you feel how this energy is channeling your mind into her mind? We're currently creating a link. In a moment, you're going to transfer your consciousness into her. You'll fall asleep, of course, but that's all part of the basic method. Try it now, and I'll join you when you successfully entered her mind. Be careful though, this one has some experience with this already, so be prepared for what she has in store for you, and don't get panicked, or she will overpower you easily."

Maya stopped influencing the blond succubus, so it was her world once again. She also told her that Celia was visiting, so she was completely aware and ready to greet her. Of course, Maya didn't tell Celia all that just to see how she handled herself.

[Celia Darkson]

"I'll consider it. I've been busy with making sure the worlds here aren't falling to pieces. But I'll take a backseat to that and see what this generation is capable of. I've done all I can in giving them aid." She referenced her countermeasure once more and left it at that, seeing as it was time to do some learning. Their prime candidate was the sleeping blonde succubus who Maya had been pleasuring in her dreams while they spoke, it wasn't anything odd and getting straight to the point was how Celia preferred her learning.

Energy was being channeled and with it, her eyes started to faintly glow. That was her ability known as "Study" that began analyzing the magic in question. A very specific method of channeling was used and the mage nodded when asked if she could feel it. She maintained this link that was being formed and gave another nod of affirmation when Maya explained her role in all of it. Celia closed her eyes and allowed her consciousness to enter that young succubus' mind. It wasn't anything all that difficult for her and she did so easily. Falling asleep with her mother-in-law's warning in mind, Celia would make sure to be as prepared as possible for whatever antics the young one had.

Little did she know, there was a bit of a set up. A test to see how well Celia could handle herself.

[Zienna]

The blond succubus was hiding within her own dream world. What Celia would notice first was a light pinkish fog to greet her. All else was dark. The fog was up to her knees, and there was nothing much else around except for the faint whispers that drifted through the air. Celia would soon find herself feeling hands all over her body, when there was nothing there. Suddenly, there would be an echoing giggle from far away.

The succubus was out there, and she was stalking Celia like its prey. Her tail would expose itself however, swaying from side to side just above the fog. And it was getting closer and closer. Maya was just watching out of sight, completely invisible. Attempting to struggle with an experienced succubus in her own dream land would leave Celia open. Maya could tell her that, but it wasn't every day that this sort of thing happened.

[Celia Darkson]

Once inside, there was nothing but darkness and a pink mist, a familiar color she associated with the lust of a succubus. It was there when Zienna invaded her dreams and had been a prevalent color hence forth. Whispers filled her ears but being a succubus meant the ability to manipulate one's dreams too, right? She tried her hand at it by doing one thing at a time. First she got rid of the whispers so that she wouldn't be taken off-guard due to garbled hearing. Secondly, the invisible hands that molested at her body left her shivering, but wasn't enough to shake her up. Then there was the giggle, the blonde succubus was close.

This was further hinted when she saw the tail peeking itself above the fog. Smiling, Celia knew the succubus whose mind she was in, although was considered young by Maya's standards, was leagues better at manipulating a dreamscape than Celia was. To this end, the vampire-succubus kept herself on-guard and rather than over exert herself by doing something grand and imposing in the dream, stuck to her basics. She'd need all the mental energy necessary to survive this little encounter. The mage allowed the succubus to grow closer and closer, with Celia herself pretending to back away out of a bit of desperation of being hunted like prey.

[Zienna]

With Celia recalling a certain event from the past that introduced her to a very similar dreamscape, The blond succubus wasted no time in putting that to use. "Celia~" the sound of her lover would call out. The air was heavy with Zienna's presence. The fog would start to slowly rise around Celia, tickling her body with the sensations she associated with the succubus she had bound to herself.

The succubus with her tail poking out of the fog, when she was close enough, would slowly rise, to show a figure with her eyes hidden behind a blindfold. It was a perfect rendition of Celia's first encounter with her wife. The succubus giggled and slowly walked towards Celia. "I'll take care of everything, Celia. Just sit back and relax~"

[Celia Darkson]

"Zienna...?" She called out to the voice as it sounded all too familiar, the presence eerily active and the sensations so very similar. Replicated down to how Celia remembered, it was nearly fool-proof how well the blonde executed her knowledge over the woman's recollection within her mind. The dangers of a constantly thinking mind within the subconscious of one who can bend memories and dreams to their will grew every present.

With the tail so close the mage was ready to act and would have, only she didn't... Not at first. When the figure rose, it was Zienna, albeit as she knew the succubus in her younger years. Blindfold and all. There was a careful approach that Zienna took towards her, except when she'd feel the grasp of tentacles wrap around her legs. "I think not. I'm feeling dominant today, 'love.'" Celia smirked and tried her hand at turning the dream against the younger succubus who assumed her lover's appearance. The vampire-succubus would hoist up the copy-cat and send more tentacles to wrap around her wrists, neck and around her breasts. Many more came out from the pink mist with that entity itself slowly receding back to ankle height. The tentacles, if successful in binding their victim, would begin to lash out and whip at "Zienna," whom Celia immediately recognized as the young woman she summoned by accident.

[Zienna]

The succubus was quite aware that Celia had been on the receiving end of a dream invasion, so she wasn't too surprised that she managed to fight back the fantasy. Although, while the first one was caught rather easily, bound and then subjected to a whipping, Celia would soon feel chains wrapping around her own ankles, and then a couple would try to bind her arms. Of course, in the dreamscape, anything was possible if one had the imagination and power to bring their ideas to life.

Another Zienna would pounce Celia from behind, pressing her body against the mage's back. This copy of Zienna would slide her hand to Celia's chest, while the other would go somewhere lower. Celia would feel her nibbling her ear playfully. "Lose yourself to your body's desires~"

It wouldn't have been that easy to subdue someone with more experience than her and boy would it be an uphill battle to fight back. She wasn't used to such things and tried to confine her strategies to logic. This placed her in the current situation of being strung up by her own limbs and dog-pilled by a group of Zienna's. She sucked in a sharp breath at the situation. Maybe logic wasn't the way to go. This was a dream and dreams defied any and all logic.

Using her own mind, she imagined that her chains were broken free, the Zienna clones all strung up being raped by tentacles, as she tried to unveil the real culprit behind the battle of minds, that being the blonde from before. Celia was attempting to hijack control behind the scenes as well, using her own imagination to turn the black space into a surreal sex dungeon, one where Celia would have her prey bound and ready to be operated on.
