Rhulitar's Curse - Part 1

Part 1: Sowing the Wind

Rhulitar:

I hear the soothing song and see the face of my mother through my translucent egg shell, she has beautiful ruby red scales, and as I suckle on my thumb as I float inside my egg I see that my hand has the same beautiful ruby red scales, I do not know what the words mean, but I know she is my mother, she gently polishes my shell with a soft rag with scented oil, and I can smell and taste it, I love that scent and then she holds me close as she sings to me, I can hear her heart beating and her warmth comforts me, I am so happy and feel safe as I grow.

Every day she comes to sing to me, as I grow I start to understand the words, they tell the story of our people, we are petisse, the small dragon kin, kobolds, our clan comes from deep in the ground, the lowest reaches of the place known as the underworld's massive cave network, where a ruby dragon mated with the mother of our clan, they had seven sons and seven daughters, who mated with the other kobold clans' second sons and first daughters, creating a strong clan with powerful magic in our blood, we were for a long time a nomadic tribe slowly we reached our present location, the cave network opens up to the hugest cave any of our clan has ever seen, there is a huge round elemental of fire that flies slowly around the cave and it is so bright it hurts our eyes, the dominant species of this cave gave it a name "the Sun", but when it is beyond the curvature of the cave and the lesser lights can be seen in the cave ceiling high above we can be out, the dominant species calls them "stars", and even when the silvery round lantern is flying and facing our way, the lantern is called "the Moon" by the dominant species of this cave, this cave is strange, in it grow these green things that are not like the mushrooms we are used to growing in the underworld, the dominant species call them trees, flowers and plants, they have materials we can use however, and some are edible even if they taste weird. We share these caves with some other species, including a group of the dominant species, we have protected our cave with traps though, so we are left alone by the others, we even trade with them, making traps in exchange for meat they hunt for, they are more used to this huge cave than we are.

My shell is getting cramped and I start working on breaking out of it and I have poked a hole and breathe the cool air from outside my egg, I smell something bad on the air, it might be what mom told me is fire or smoke. There are screams in the cave, I see our archers fire at something down the cave tunnel. Scary bright arcs of lighting strike them and they fall dead, a black winged short dominant species female with pointy ears steps into the cave, she is wearing black leather covering her like a second skin, it has rips here and there showing her pale skin under it, she speaks up in the dominant species language "Surrender!" she shouts in her horrible yet beautiful scary voice, very dominant. My mother screams "you will not hurt my baby, die!" and runs at her with a knife. The winged one's purple eyes flash purple and a bolt of purple light hits my mother and sends her flying into the wall and I cry out "no mommy!" as I hear her bones crack and she falls down with a thud a couple of feet from me, she gazes at me with tear filled eyes and then I see the her spirit leave her body, her eyes becoming dead. I try in my rage to get out of my shell, I must avenge my mother!

There are others of the dominant species there and they start searching through the bodies of my dead clan, one of them stomps on one of the other eggs and the winged one tells him "no don't be cruel, they can't harm us, let's just see what they have and leave them be." All of the others are larger or much larger than she is and yet she seems to command their respect and they do not break any more of the eggs.

After taking what they want from my dead clan they leave our cave, I feel so weak as I could not get my shell open till after they left, and I run around the cave looking for anyone else who is alive, and I find nobody alive, only the other egglings. I look through the rooms of our cave and I see that the dominant species left our food stores alone, and did not take most of our weapons or tools for making things, just gold and gems we had mined. They did not even take any of our people to eat, just left them there to rot, at least when we kobolds kill creatures we eat them, the dominant species is really evil to kill not to sate hunger, but to rob people. I am not sure if they are really one species or many though, they looked to be of several species, races or at least clans somewhat different, some pointy ears, some not, only one of them with wings.

I am lucky that those of my clan like myself are born with most of our clan's knowledge from the songs, and I am able to build some more traps and set them up in the tunnel leading outside I also spend a few days burying our dead in the mushroom farm, I then sing for the egglings, what remains of my clan, I add to the story how this dominant species needs to be avoided till the day when we can take revenge upon them and teach them to not attack our clan or our species any more.

When I dare to I visit the other cave dwellers, and I find everyone dead, except a bugbear female and the young of her clan, we form an alliance and search the caves for the useful things, food and such, we cook the corpses of the other species that are not our own and we manage to survive fairly well, she tells me a similar story about those "adventurers" she calls them lead by this black winged elf who spared her and the young ones after she agreed to surrender, they then took what they considered to be valuable from their cave and left.

I convince her to create a lasting alliance between our clans and we move deeper into the caves, down into the underworld again, away from what she tells me is called "the surface" or "overworld" she agrees to that arrangement.

We find a few others in our travels, many sharing similar stories and we form an alliance against the "adventurers", I and those of my clan end up being those with most magical talent among the survivors and I start thinking of how to take our revenge and as I hear the tales of the over world people a plan forms, and I start to device a powerful curse, designed to weaken them and also make them suffer for what they did to all of us. It takes me three hatchings* of kobolds to devise the curse.

(* Hatching: Kobold time unit, that makes sense in the underworld because of the lack of sun and moon and other seasons to measure time by, it is the time between an egg being laid, hatching and the hatchling in the egg growing up to adulthood and the females laying their first egg. It is not an exact measurement of time, egg takes 21 surface days from being laid to hatch, it takes the kobold females and males 6 surface years to reach sexual maturity, and after mating it usually takes them 21 surface days to lay their egg. So one hatching is about six years and a little less than two months, give or take a few months depending on the food situation when the females and males are growing up, up to 10 years if food is scarce. At least this is true for Rhulitar's clan, other Kobold clans/races will have different maturation times.)

The curse is thus: Since adventurers are powerful in part because they wear armour, the curse makes it so that all armour and clothing will burn and itch on their skin, and weaken them until taken off. Since they are strangely embarrassed about sex and nudity I also make it so that they will be distracted with arousal and lust, and it will cloud their minds unless they orgasm once per hour, making them unable to use powerful magic while disabled in that way. I also have them be sensitive to certain draconic suggestions. It also makes the females require at least ten men to cum inside them during the same mating session to be able to become pregnant, perhaps mean of me that, but it will make it harder for them to become so many. Also it makes it possible for any woman affected by the curse to become pregnant by any other male creature, and also her egg will be truly fertilized by all ten or more men, and become a hybrid of all of them. I added that part of the curse hoping that the evil winged elf would be hit by it and require not only the adventurers she travels with, but more men to all mate with her if she ever wants to have children. I admit that I dream of capturing her and having my entire clan and our allies mate with her, then we will have a new breed of creature with wings that can take the surface by storm, and become the dominant species. Also since the curse is quite powerful I can't really make it affect all of them at once, but I make it so that it spreads by touch, and takes three hatchings of kobolds to enter its active state in those it manages to affect. I want to be sure it affects nearly everyone, and I am patient, the kobolds of my clan have long lives, not a single one of us have ever died of old age, always through sickness, starvation, sadness or injury.

I also create a counter curse that I can use, and I protect our alliance from the curse spreading to us. I and the other elders gifted in magic head to the surface again, using invisibility and silence to walk to hidden positions in their towns and cities all over the world and we unleash the curse among them. We had found our way around the world by this time, to several of their "continents". We also unleash the curse among the evil races that share the underworld with us, and think we are suitable for only slavery, the dark elves and other horrible creatures.

The curse also has in it the information of how to get the cure to it, only by surrendering or submitting to me or one of those elders of my clan who know the counter curse, if you try to force one of us to cast it, the curse becomes completely incurable.

We all return to the underworld, and start travelling deeper, we do not want to make it easy for the adventurers to be cured, I recall from the song of history and knowledge of my clan, that the father of our clan had come from below the underworld, from a huge city that welcomes all who will live in peace and harmony, and I decide to seek it out, most of the other species of our alliance does not want to go with me, but most of my clan does, the others of my clan join the different groups as we split up, to help them use the protection of the draconic suggestions of the curse on any adventurers who might threaten them before or after the curse awakens and keep in touch with the alliance and clan using magical communication stones, as most of us seek the fabled city some of its inhabitants call Agartha.

The journey takes slightly less than three hatchings of kobolds for us to reach one of the rumoured to be many vertical shifting tunnels, that lead to the great city, crossing the magma ocean that separates it from the continents above, I can sense the magic of these tunnels, how they warp space so that they always line up with the city, and they are made out of a strange clear material that lets us see the magma through the walls, illuminating it and letting small strange bushes grow in its light, providing quite tasty fruits for those who travel these tunnels, we finally cross through a shiny shell of some sort of metal and in the centre of the shell we become weightless and use the provided hand holds to shift onto the ceiling as the instructions on the wall tell us to do, then as we cross the shell the ceiling becomes our floor as we continue travelling this time upwards from our position, the travel takes longer and is harder, but the actual distance is shorter and we reach the outer city. The total time of our trip is just about three hatchings of kobolds, when we finally arrive.

The distance we have travelled from the surface is a hundred kilometres or so, and this outer city is amazing, from the floor to the ceiling of this outer layer it is thirty kilometres, and there are buildings that reach from the floor to the ceiling that are that tall, and buildings as short and small as to be comfortable for kobolds as well, there are terraces forming levels in some places and wide open areas like the one we find ourselves in, different areas have different types of light, or no lights, most lights are spheres made out of some sort of crystal that shine with the various types of lights. There are plants and mushrooms and even masses of flesh and other even weirder things growing in gardens, we see children of what looks like humans and elves playing with goblins and kobolds, while their parents smile and look at them playing. Some people wear clothes, others walk around nude, and nobody seems to be bothered by it.

A pool of water nearby stirs and a shape of fluid slowly forms into a kobold, with very pretty rainbow shifting scales and walks up to us, this kobold is a very hot female with purple eyes "welcome travellers to Agartha as many surfacers call this place, I am here to make sure you and your people know of the few rules that exist here, so that you can follow them and live in harmony with the rest of us. Failing to abide my these rules will result in exile for all time from here. The rules are simple though, you must not force any other sentient to do anything they do not want to do, you must not take something from someone so that they no longer have it. If you want something you trade for it, and if you want someone to do something you ask them if they would like to do it, and negotiate with them about what they would want in return if anything. You are free to pick the fruit in the gardens, and if you need wood or such you can take it from the gardens too, as long as you do not take too much from a single garden. You may also hunt any of the non sentient creatures in the forests and caves, beware that they may try to defend themselves though. Do you all accept these rules?"

I smile at her and nod "we will all abide by those rules, this sounds like a paradise, is there a cave or such we can settle in? For now we would prefer to have one just for our clan, and allies."

She smiles and nods "this way" she says and skips carefree along the ground and after a little while she locates a cave between a mushroom grove and a forest and wild cave network "this cave is free, and big, if you feel like it you can quarry the marble in it or mine the minerals further down, and they make good trade with the other peoples around here, especially the dwarves like the minerals, the elves like the marble, and my people we like anything you create with your hands, we also love food as we are always hungry, and also we would like to make love with your clan members, we will not do so against anyone's will and we can only make women pregnant if they really want us to, you will find us all around the place resting in our pools, should you need anything, we are called the builders by some, because we made this place, it will survive and thrive even when the stars die, the stars can't eat us in this protective shell we made, or any of those who come to keep us company. The surface will be burned however, when the sun gets hungry, and comes to eat the world, I do not know if it is truly fair of me to exile those that break the laws, as it is a sentence of death for them, though it will not happen very soon, the sun is still young."

I look at her and smile, she is beautiful, and stirs my old kobold bones making my heart race "I would like to know what your name is before we mate, my name is Rhulitar."

Her eyes sparkle and she considers a little while "you may call us... um... me Vela" she giggles and her face scales blush in many colours "do I look good to you this way, or do you wish I was another type of creature, or exactly like your people? I will happily be anything you desire, if you can describe it well enough, or let me touch your mind."

I chuckle at her "you are good just the way you are Vela, and let me get you some of our last travel rations, if you want to know how our own unique food tastes like."

Vela bounces and makes a happy sound "I would love that so much yes!"

As the others go into the cave to set everything up I take my backpack off and pull from it some travel rations, they are made with mushroom caps, meat, vegetables, spices and salts that are boiled in a huge pot, till it becomes a thick mass, the mass is then formed into bars and smoked over a fire till completely dry, then wrapped in the hide of the animal the meat came from, or in leaves or mushroom bark. I hand her my last two bars, food enough for two days, if you have water with them. She takes a large bite and chews on it and makes really cute happy eating sounds, and then quickly eats the rest of both the bars, and their hide wrapping "mmm delicious!"

I look quite confused about her eating the hide wrapping, and eating two days worth of dry food without drinking any water, but I soon get distracted again by her beauty. "So... um... where would you like to mate? In the cave or somewhere out here?" I ask and scratch the back of my head a bit.

Vela tilts her head and looks into my eyes and then looks around "up against this tree" she says and walks up to one of the trees, leaning against its mossy bark, she then raises her tail to reveal her cloaca to me, sliding her clawed fingers under her body to caress it.

I strip out of my clothes and place them in a pile and then walk up to her, wrapping my arms around her and I push myself up tight against her cloaca and I invert both my hemipenes into her cloaca and feel their soft spines poke into her warm soft and wet inviting opening, finally the front barbs grab onto her deep inside and I growl at her. She makes a soft whimpering and slightly submissive moan "rrr Rhulitar rrr mmm" I gently bite into her neck as my claws rake against the scaled skin of her chest, both her clawed hands dig into the tree as she moans. I feel her cloaca pulsate around me and then I growl as I feel myself pump my seed into her until the pressure of the tight seal of her cloaca and my hemipenes becomes almost painful, she whimpers and moans loudly for me, finally I start to try to wiggle myself free, being as gentle as I can to unhook from inside of her and invert my hemipenes into myself again. As I stop biting into her neck I say softly "mmm thank you, it has been a while, will you come live with me and take care of our eggs?"

Vela gazes up at me over her shoulder giving me a toothy grin "I can give you eggs, but I am not a good mother, I forget things, you would have to take care of them, and you should know I am not actually a kobold, so our children would be a new breed of creature, though not exactly unique as I have mated with other kobolds before, I think I recognize who your ancestor is from the taste, a ruby dragon, he lives 356 levels above here, under the core star, with many other dragons who love the light and heat it gives off, sometimes they fly up and touch it, a few of them even like to grab onto it, as it pushes them away from itself. Anyway if you want to and can take care of them I can lay eggs, do you want that?"

I listen to her and then look up at the ceiling "356 levels? Are they as tall as this one?" then I realise her question "I want our children and I will take care of them, I promise, I hope you will come see them sometimes though, and play with them, also sing your own clan's history and knowledge to them. I would like to feed you till you lay the eggs."

"I am not going to wait twenty one surface days to lay eggs like your clan females do" Vela says and smiles and her eyes glow faintly purple and she squats down and lays two big iridescent rainbow coloured eggs for me and looks up at me "the levels are different heights, some taller than this one, some shorter, but on average each is this tall, the tallest one is the spherical level at the top around the core star, it always has light, so you will want to wear some protection for your eyes if you go there." she then turns to face me "I will want food though, but I will not live in your cave, but can I get food when I come visit. Is that alright?"

I nod to her and smile "of course, it is the male's job to make food for the females and keep them safe." though sometimes women do cook for the males they love, but it is not their job, their job is taking care of the hatchlings and egglings, and also craft the more advanced traps and other mechanisms, they also keep the nest clean. Males also mine and build big things. Females pick their mates, each mating season, some males get no female if they have not been treating them well enough, some males get many females, it is the way of things, all the females care for all the eggs and hatchlings, not just her own, though she will focus mostly on her own eggs.

"Also I would like to make love to you again, next time I want you to use the ability your clan's father has to change his cock, as good as you felt filling me with those soft spikes and barbs I like more motion inside me." Vela says and smiles "then I will sing the history and knowledge of my... um... clan for our children." her eyes sparkle "oh and I can feel that powerful curse you created working on the surface and underworld species, you should know that if you cast it here you will be exiled, and I can break it if I want to despite its power, it is not something you asked for permission to do to the others, but what you did outside of Agartha does not concern me." she gives my face a lick and bites into my neck and then giggles and skips away "take care of our babies, they will want to sit in warm water if you can do that for them, steaming warm is best, but not boiling." with that she grows wings and changes from a kobold to a large rainbow shimmering dragon and I watch as she flies up towards the ceiling and can see her find one of the many vents that go between levels, I had not understood what they were when I saw them first, until I saw her use one.

I then look down at myself and concentrate a bit and I feel my cock change inside me and I rub against the opening it comes out of and it slowly extends as a large curved fleshy rod, with soft fleshy spines and the barbs are now four smooth black curved hook teeth around the head of my cock, the head looks like a bumpy mushroom with bumps all over, my cock also has many wavy ridges along the surface and also soft scales giving a lot of texture, indeed I knew how to do this, it is slightly difficult to do though and also turns me on when I do it, but I also knew it was not normal for kobolds to have cocks like this, I use whatever form of cock the female I am with wants, it had been some time since I had used this second form of cock I groan a bit and rub my scaled hand across my cock, and since I am doing this because I want to get the last of the lust out of my system I do not try to last long and I shoot several blasts of cum up on the tree, hitting the leaves high above me and my cock slowly pulls back inside me again.

I look down a the eggs and carefully move them onto my clothes pile and pick it up and carry the pile with the eggs inside and start to help guide my clan to set up our new home, one of the first things I make is a contraption that heats water till it is steaming hot and then pours it into the bowl the eggs sit in and as the cooler water is displaced it pours back into the heater and is heated back to the temperature she specified. Each of us sing for the newest members of our clan, our many stories and histories and knowledge. Every so often the eggs glow in a myriad of colours and burst with magic releasing dancing lights when we sing for them.

I wonder about the curse I made and how it is doing. I can sense that it is affecting a lot of people, and I create a spell on the fly that let's me tap into the curse and see what is going on, it is very disorienting to use though, as all senses of the cursed person I am watching from become my own and my own body falls limp and I can't feel it when I am doing it. It also shows past as well as present things, I am amazed at the crazy things I see, the surfacers are all really busy fucking each other they seem to still be able to work their fields and such though, so I do not feel too bad about unleashing that on them, at least they will not be starving, most are staying near their homes though with lovers, even those who are inclined to adventure. I bring out the communication crystal to ask the others of my clan what is going on. I get several reports, of what has happened, our alliance has triumphed against the surfacers and others...
