Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-46664563-20200824042338/@comment-46664563-20200830033808

I'll give this post a little bump with  a response of my own.

As I feel a glare bearing down upon me, I instinctively draw my sword from its scabbard.

Suddenly it appears to me, a long serpentine figure with the lower body of a monster akin to any others I had fought in my days back in the order, however it's upper body was different... It was, human? I could see little from the slits in my helm, however this woman had green scales, the upper body had an exposed stomach, leading up to a bosom which was divine. Her face finer than any I had seen before. Horns peaked out from her flowing silver hair, and her eyes were an emerald green. It looked vaguely similar to what we in the order had called a Wurm, however with that upper body it couldn't be...

My train of thought soon became a wreck as a toothy grin spread across her face, revealing razor sharp teeth. This girl may be beautiful, however I could make no assumptions about her intentions.

She was still a monster, one that was dangerous, and should be treated as such. I raised my sword towards her, as I grabbed the shield on my back and had it at the ready, preparing for a fight.

"Awww, don't be like that." A disappointed voice said, it was feminine. Her lips moved, but surely that voice could not be hers, right?

I spread my legs and bent them, a solid base.

"Well, since you want to play hard to get, I guess I'll have to rough ya up a lil'" the feminine voice spoke, with a small giggle.

Her mouth moved with those words once more. It was her that spoke, without a doubt. It felt surreal, as if my eyes deceived me. In all my years I had never once heard a monster speak to me.

"Out of my way, I want nothing to do with the likes of you, beast!" I bellowed,  the words echoing inside my helm. I was building myself up.

"Oooh, a hero, this'll be fuuun~"

I did not like how she said those words one bit. In a blink of an eye she leaped forwards towards me, and I steeled myself, ready for the impact. My sword was pointed at her lower half, but it merely grazed off the side of her thick scales as she made impact with my shield.

I was blown backwards, however did not lose my footing. With that I quickly bashed my shield into her head now lowered to my level, sending her back.

"Ouch, that hurt!" She said, the faintest tinge of anger in her voice, yet devoid of malice. Just what was this monster... girl playing at?

Without a moments notice she quickly recovered, this time with a determined look on her face. The Wurm was serious now. She approached me slowly. While I backed up she continued forward, her pace quickly catching up with mine.

I swung at her horizontally, but she merely extended her scaly arm outwards, catching it in her claws. She constricted her iron grip around the sword's blade, causing the blade to bend like a wilted flower, and eventually fall to the ground with the end nearest to me mangled. I looked on with panic and threw my sword, or the remains of it at least, to her side which distracted her. This allowed me time to throw my shield as her like a frisbee, nailing her square in the forehead. She stopped right where she stood as she rubbed her forehead, wincing in pain.

There were now only three words on my mind after throwing my shield:

Run. Like. Hell.

My armor was thick, and I knew it was unlikely I could get away, however there was nothing more I could do. Well, there was one last thing I could do.

I pulled my helmet off, hurling it back into the face of the just recovering Wurm, but I didn't wait to see if the helmet landed.

I turned around and broke out into a sprint that was as fast as my armor would allow me, my heart thumping in my chest. It was not long before I heard behind me the rough crushing of stones while I ran. The last thing I saw was a rush of green from my left as her scaly tail swung around and hit me straight in my head. I went out like a lightbulb.

When I awoke, it was dark at first, the ceiling was a rough stone. I could feel the chilly wind upon my ragged clothes, the armor I had on was nowhere to be seen. I was in a cave, and as my vision cleared I could see a light pouring in from my right.

I turned my head to see the entrance was the source of the light. I didn't look to the other direction, and attempted to make my escape without a second thought.

Just as soon as I had risen, my leg was gripped by a tail. When I looked down I saw the same thing that I saw before I had blacked out. I turned back only to see the wurm lunge at me, her claws bared and mouth open into a wide grin.

I thought what would follow would be nothing short of my immediate evisceration as I shut my eyes waiting for what I thought to be the inevitable, but no. She coiled around me after tackling me to the ground. Her face eventually staring into mine as she stopped.

A smile crossed her face, once again showing those razor sharp teeth of hers. I quivered in visible fear at the sight of those teeth, and the thought of strong claws that could rip through flesh with ease that she was now embracing me with, her breasts squishing up against my chest.

Under my breath I whispered "P-please make it quick, just end it..."

With that her face froze. "What do you mean, end it?" She said with a genuinely puzzled look, confusion filling her voice.

I was just as confused "Aren't you gonna, e-eat me?" I asked, stumbling over my words as the depictions of things that were surely about to happen stampeded through my head.

She simply laughed when those words stumbled out of my mouth.

"You silly, why would I eat my own husband?" There wasn't the faintest hint of jest in her voice or on her face.

With that my mind came to a halt. The grizzly thoughts of what had happened to others who had met their end at the will of monsters of old and what I thought was surely about to happen to me subsided.

"H-husband?"

She merely gave a seductive smile, her face blushing as I said that word.

"Well, that's what I said. Now relax, and let's have some fun~" She said in a sultry tone, her face now close to mine...

With what would follow, I would find my answer to that rumor. I can't say I'd ever have a desire to go back to the village after that day though.
