The Lost Prince Bk. 01

"It's going to be okay," Libi said softly. "We're safe here. And Colin and I will look after you."

Colin watched as Kasey broke down a second time, but in the arms of Libi. He felt bad for thinking how hot they'd be together. But couldn't quite push the thought aside. Now definitely wasn't a good time regardless. So he stood and gave his legs a stretch.

"Libi, where are we?"

"My home plane," She said over Kasey's head. "This, I suppose you'd call hell."

Colin frowned and looked around at the beautiful landscape. "This, is hell?"

"Don't get too comfortable. You've heard about all the crazy animals in Australia that can kill you. Imagine all of those animals growing to kill demons, instead of humans."

Colin thought about it for a moment, "I don't even know what demons are, Libi."

She frowned, "What do you mean? You're an incubus!"

"He's telling the truth," Kasey said softly as she wiped her eyes with her hands. "I didn't know he was a demon until today."

"Speaking of," Colin grumbled. "When were you going to tell me you were a literal angel?"

Kasey blushed and lowered her head. "I'm only a nephilim. And I was going to tell you before we had children." She sighed, "I suppose that's never going to happen now."

Colin just stared at her until Libi giggled. "Don't bet on it."

Kasey looked up at the succubus and saw her mischievous smile. But the succubus leaned in and started whispering. Kasey's expression shifted from shock, to embarrassment, to biting her lip softly. And as Libi pulled away, Kasey was blushing furiously and refusing to look at him.

"Do I want to know?" Libi nodded, while Kasey shook her head and Colin sighed in exasperation. "Alright. So we're in hell, I'm apparently an incubus, mated to a succubus, with a nephilim as a best friend. What now? Find help? Find a way back?"

Libi blanched slightly, "Ummm... Help might be hard to find."

"I should never have come here," Kasey sighed.

Colin frowned, "I couldn't just leave you Kasey. He was killing you..."

She got up then and moved to Colin, giving him a hug. "Yes... But..."

"We hate her kind," Libi offered, standing and moving to join us. "She isn't safe here."

"Well, they're gonna have to go through me first!" Libi and Kasey trembled at the burst of power that leaked out. Colin realised quickly what was happening and winded it back. "What about humans? What if we just go around looking like humans then?"

Libi shook her head, but it was Kasey that spoke. "Won't work. I knew immediately there was something wrong when I saw you this morning. Just like Libi knew what I was the moment I opened the door."

Colin looked at them both. "I can't feel anything wrong with either of you. You're both just beautiful women to me."

Libi grinned widely, while Kasey blushed again. Colin just sighed, realising he'd spoken out. "On that matter, how am I an incubus? Did you do something to me?"

"No," Libi shook her head. "No, you, somehow, were already an incubus without knowing it."

Colin frowned for a moment in confusion, but Kasey spoke up. "Even I didn't know what you were. And I've been picking up on your emotions for a long time, Colin."

"Wait..." Colin froze, realising if that were true, she probably knew she'd been in his fantasies, despite their friendship, for a long time.

"As I said," Kasey smiled, despite being unable to meet his eyes. "I was going to tell you what I was, before we had children."

"Alright," Colin sighed and glanced around. "We probably shouldn't stay here. Anyone have any ideas?"

Kasey shook her head slowly, but Libi turned around on the spot, looking off into the distance. She pointed off into the horizon and turned to Colin. "That's the nearest town. It's small. Kasey should be fine to hide in the forest nearby, while we go in and see about getting supplies."

Colin frowned. He could barely see the odd shape of buildings against the horizon. "It's going to take days to walk that far."

"True," Libi smiled. "But only a couple hours if we fly."

Colin grinned and stretched his massive wings out. "It's going to be a while before I remember I have these."

The ladies smiled and walked him to the edge of the clearing. Which is exactly how long it took for Colin's confidence to crash and burn. Looking over the edge, it was a sheer drop, hundreds of meters to the bottom.

"You'll be okay," Kasey smiled. "This is actually easier. Just open your wings, fall forward and do a little hop. You'll lose a bit of altitude if you don't start flapping, but just lean forward. We're high enough, you can glide forever.

With that, Kasey did exactly as she said. She stood at the edge of the cliff, before simply falling forward. As her body passed the forty-five degree point, she hopped away from the edge, thrusting her body out into open space. With her wings opening, they caught the wind and Kasey made a slow glide, drifting away from the cliff. Colin smiled, watching the beautiful woman slowly begin flapping as she lazily climbed in altitude before turning back to circle.

"It really is that easy," Libi smiled. "Taking off from flat ground is harder. You have to run and flap, before leaping into the air. But even you got comfortable once you were up. It's just the first step that's scary."

Unlike Kasey though. Libi took a running leap, straight off the edge, whooping in glee as she surged up into the sky like... Well... like a bat out of hell. Colin watched as Libi moved in unison with Kasey. The pair of them were almost polar opposites. But their beauty together, held him transfixed. So engrossed in watching the beautiful pair, he didn't see the creature until it knocked a small rock that clattered. Glancing back, it looked like some kind of big cat. It was spotted like a snow leopard, but was as large as a horse. It's eyes were steel in colour, which matched perfectly with it's sabretooth cat-like fangs. Its body rippled with muscles as it tensed, while its mane rippled in the wind. In a flash, it pounced forward. In terror, Colin leaped back... Into mid air.

"Oh SHIT!"

Tumbling head over heels, Colin heard a pair of screams come from above. As he flailed and fell, Colin caught a glimpse of both Libi and Kasey diving towards him. But the ground was closer than they were. Closing his eyes, Colin had only moments. But he felt the wind and slightly extended his wings. As they began to catch the wind, Colin was pulled straight, like he was diving instead of falling. Angling himself up, he opened more of his wings and felt his momentum shift. And with a snarl, he snapped his wings open, hard. The wind howled as it tore past his open wings. Colin's chest felt like it was tearing open from the force of the wind, but with a cry, he forced his wings to flap. As momentum shifted, he launched skyward. Libi and Kasey were forced to dive to the sides as Colin shot straight up. Laughing, Colin slowed his ascent, before experimenting with rolls to figure out turning.

"Angle your legs!" Libi called from slightly behind him.

"Flap your outside wing harder than the inside wing!" Kasey called as she swooped in front.

With those ideas in mind, Colin angled himself and awkwardly flapped. It didn't feel right, but he pulled a controlled turn. As he spun back to the cliff, he could see the creature staring up at him. It seemed to crouch down, like a cat did before launching itself straight up. So Colin made a few hard flaps to gain altitude before turning back.

"This is amazing!" He called.

"Yeah, so long as the ester don't get you!" Libi called back.

"Is that, what that monster is?"

"She's not a monster!" Kasey called, "She has babies to feed. She's just being a good mommy!"

Colin grinned. He remembered all the times she'd stop to pat a dog, or help an injured squirrel. One time she even got stuck in a tree herself, after taking a baby bird back to its nest. Colin had to climb up himself to get her. He'd ruined his shirt helping her back down and his parents had been angry.

"Hey," Kasey called. Colin glanced at her, a worried expression on his face. "They're going to be fine. Angels leave humans alone. It's what the whole war was about."

Colin just nodded and wondered if he'd ever see his adoptive parents again. He always knew he was adopted. But that didn't stop them, or him, from loving one another. They were all the family he had.

***

Ira frowned as she watched the trio fly overhead. It wasn't difficult to track them. The incubus was particularly powerful. His portal left a mark on the world. One that the older, more powerful demons could sense. It was like pinching the fabric of reality, before rubbing it smooth again. Anyone with an eye for detail, could see where it had been pinched. The issue she now had, as she growled in frustration. Was that they had decided to forgo stealth and fly. Ira didn't understand why they were being so open. It left only two options. Either the incubus was extremely powerful and just didn't care. Or extremely stupid, and didn't realise the kind of attention he would create. Especially with a nephilim following after. The last time one of those made it to hell, he'd been mercy-killed on the second day.

With a sigh, Ira dropped the head of the ester she carried. The creatures were vicious, but not too smart. Turning to face the same direction the trio were flying, Ira licked the blood from her claws as she started moving.

Chapter Seven - 12294

The trio drifted to the ground, outside what Colin could only describe as a stone village. It was small, only a couple dozen buildings. They were just far enough to avoid being seen. Amongst the trees, they grouped together and finalised their plans.

"Alright, Kasey, find a spot to hide. We'll fly back out and circle the area so you can spot us. I think that'll be easiest."

"O-okay," Kasey smiled nervously. "Colin?"

"Yeah?"

She darted in, kissing him quickly, before pulling away and staring at her feet. "Be careful please."

Colin touched his lips, before Libi gave him a nudge. "C'mon loverboy. We have stuff to do."

With a final glance at Kasey, who was still blushing fiercely. Colin turned and followed after Libi. "Wait, how are we going to buy anything?"

"Oh that's easy. I'm going to pay for it, and you're going to fuck me half to death, every night, until you pay me back." Colin snorted as he laughed. But the expression on Libi's face told him she wasn't joking. "Just you wait," Libi pressed him to continue walking. "Your powers have only just awoken. You're an incubus now. Sooner or later, your dick is going to do the thinking for you."

Colin shook his head, "And what? I'm just going to go crazy and fuck everyone I find?"

"Not quite like that," Libi shook her head. "I spent a long time on Earth, gathering my wealth and learning to control myself. But here, in hell, the rules are different. Barter, currency and wealth all exist. But there's also might. There are no rules here. There is only the strong, and the stronger. If you want something, you can simply take it. But that doesn't mean nobody will try to stop you."

"That... Sounds terrible."

"That, is why we're mated," Libi frowned. "I tried to take from you, and you were stronger."

"I'm sorry," Colin said.

But Libi just smiled and shook her head. "Don't be. It is the way of things down here. One day, either I'd have taken several incubi under my control. Or an incubi would have taken me under control along with several other succubi."

Colin frowned, tring to ignore the thought of Libi sleeping with someone else. "You keep saying succubi and incubi. What about the others?"

Libi shrugged. "What's to tell? I can fuck anything," she paused as Colin grit his teeth. "But I can only be mated by an incubi. I can feed off anything though, including that pretty little nephilim of yours."

"She's not mine," Colin frowned.

"Sure she's not," Libi grinned. "She only followed you to hell, willingly I might add."

"It's not like that," Colin grumbled as the first building of the town came into view.

"Colin," Libi grabbed his shoulder. "She can do her little nephilim thing and read emotions. I read lust. You've hit her with lust a few times now and she trembles same as me."

"And that's the worst part!" Colin growled, clenching his hands. "I don't wanna hurt her... How do I know this isn't just because I'm making her feel this way?"

Libi stared for a moment, before leaning into his chest. Staring up at him, she lightly pecked his lips. "Colin, you're a demon of lust, not love. You can make someone so horny they have heart palpitations. But there's nothing that ties that power to you."

"So..."

"So, when she gets caught in your power, and her first reaction after trembling at the knees, is to come to you. It's because she loves you, for you." Libi smiled and started walking again. "Besides, you heard her as well as I did. She already planned on children. Not... Not that it's possible."

Colin frowned. That was terrifying no matter how he looked at it. Without children, would she leave? COULD, she leave? He shook his head and caught up. As they entered the outskirts of the village, he could see the inhabitants. There were a few different kinds. A couple incubi, who watched him carefully. A lamia looking woman, even a male version of the angry woman he saw. He also looked pretty angry and Colin tried not to stare too long, in the hope he wouldn't provoke anything. But by far, the most numerous were the puppy girls. At least, that's what he would have called them. They walked on digitigrade legs. Some on two legs, others on all four. They were every colour from sandy blonde, to deep blue-black. Their long muzzles held sharp teeth, despite the fact they all looked exceedingly happy. Their fluffy tails all swung from side to side as they saw and sniffed one another. Their excited chatter filled the air.

The males were large, broad shouldered and rippled with muscles. The females on the other hand. Colin's mouth went dry seeing the expanse of 'curvy' walking around. They didn't cover a lot, and Colin wasn't surprised in the warmth. There were no thigh gaps here. Each of them bounced and swayed seductively, while doing the most mundane things. Their thick bodies, matched their massive swinging breasts and rounded asses poked out the bottom of skirts cut too short.

"Colin?" Libi caught his attention with a grin.

"Huh?" Coling snapped out of it. "Sorry."

"Don't be," Libi giggled. "The Floof have that effect on people."

"Floof?"

Libi nodded. "Yeah, those silly internet things about fluffy dogs are our fault. Think of it like a prank gone rogue."

Colin grinned and tried not to stare as they moved into town. Colin stuck by Libi as she seemed to be searching for something in particular. But after walking the main street she sighed and turned back. "I don't think they have an exchange here."

"What's an exchange?"

"Think bank. But it's more complicated. They open gates to the human world and pull items through. The larger the item, the more expensive it is. When I was on Earth, I collected a horde of items valuable here and left them in a single place. Once a month, the bank would open a portal and pull through as much as possible. I have agreements with them to sell most of it. And they keep a cut."

"So... Say I wanted to steal a car?"

"The larger the portal they open, the quicker and easier the angels can find it. There's also the mana cost. Opening portals is extremely consuming. I... I'm not even sure how you moved all three of us here on your own. I had to hire a team to send me to earth." She grimaced as she took one last look and shook her head. "Anyway, a couple cars have made it here. But electronics are funny and bringing over enough regular fuel is out of the price range of anyone but the regent."

"Who's the regent?"

"Think, appointed king. Andradox was appointed after the prince was kidnapped by the angels after the war."

"I'm guessing there's a story there?"

Libi sighed, "The treaty states the prince was unharmed. But without the prince, our people fractured. We already had clans, but without the prince to unite us, it's 'us versus them' with everything." She looked nervous for a second and bit her lip. "It's why I tried to get rid of Kasey. Angels, and their slaves aren't all good like you're taught back on earth."

Colin thought about the hairs standing on end when Michael was near and couldn't help but agree. "Wait, slaves?"

"The nephilim," Libi sighed. "They don't see it like that. But the nephilim are ruled by the angels. If they don't follow the rules, they're killed. If they speak out, they're killed. If they do something the angels consider is a threat, they are killed."

"Kasey can't go back to earth then?"

Libi shook her head. "She probably would if you sent her. But... No doubt they'd kill her. You saw what that Michael asshole was doing before we escaped."

Colin gritted his teeth. "Libi, when I give you instructions. Are you forced to obey?"

She frowned then, "No. I'm not forced to do anything. Mating is... instinctual. You claimed me by filling me with your power. I accepted. I accepted because you were stronger than I. You were a good candidate for a mate. When you give me instructions, I feel compelled to follow them. But I'm not forced. I can still leave, I just don't want to."

"Alright," Colin nodded. It was going to take some time to get used to this whole situation. But as much as he loathed the idea of compelling Libi into doing something. It still tickled a certain part of him he didn't want to admit existed.

"It's okay you know," Libi smiled. "That part of you that wants to pin me down, ravish me, own me, breed me and maybe hurt me a little." She leaned in closer, "I want all of it."

Colin trembled as she turned away. With a start, he skipped to catch up as they walked back down the main road. "Alright, what are we doing now?"

"We're gonna fix a quick job."

"Just like that?" Colin asked.

Libi smiled nervously. "We're creatures of lust, Colin. In a world of loose inhibitions."

Colin froze in place, as he grabbed Libi's hand. Hauling her around, he pinned her in place. Her trembling told him he needed to reign in his powers for a moment. But he glared down at her. "Mine!" He snarled.

"I know," Libi trembled. Even without his lust powers affecting her. She couldn't help but feel so very possessed while in his arms like this. "I-I didn't mean me."

Colin frowned, "Who then?"

This time, Libi giggled. "You silly. You're an incubus, and your lust is very strong. All we need is a bar and we'll find what we need."

"Libi, I'm not into men."

Libi shrugged, "Then I suppose we'll have to find you a nice floof girl."

"They'd be interested?"

Libi giggled as she took him by the hand and dragged him to a large building with lively music playing. "Humans are so uptight. You realise how good getting laid feels, even for a lady right?"

"Ummm."

"Exactly!"

"Libi!" Colin groaned as she pressed through the front doors.

Inside, the building was mostly empty. There were a few floof sitting at tables. Both men and women. They all seemed to be happy enough chatting with one another. A few others were dotted around the room, including what looked like a catgirl. But she was scowling at everyone, so Colin turned away.

"Hmmm... This isn't going to be as easy as I thought," Libi grumbled.

While the walls were stone, the interior of the building was wooden. And Colin felt rather comfortable as Libi led him alone. The music came from a self playing piano with a large metal roller covered with pins, turning in the front of it. He'd only ever seen those in museums and wondered just how long it had been here.

"Excuse me?" Libi called politely.

Colin turned and froze in place. There was a man behind the bar. But... He wasn't a man. He wore a leather shirt that covered his chest, but there was no covering his abdomen. He looked like some hellish combination of a spider and a centaur. He blinked at them with eight eyes and smiled, showing a set of large fangs hidden behind his lips.
