“A-Astria? I don’t understand.”

“Hmmm… what’s there to understand?” She asked, taking a step forward. “You’re a man. I’m a fairy. Give it to me!”

She lunged forward, but I narrowly managed to avoid her.

“Ah… when did you learn to talk?”

“Oh? When couldn’t I talk?”

“Ah… you were destroyed in the dungeon, and then you came back…”

“Yes… my former lover Karr was gracious enough to use his skill to keep me alive. High-level Heroes have a skill called Sacrifice. They can Sacrifice their own life in order to forcibly preserve the life of another. You had resurrected Karr. By all accounts, he should have lived, and I should have passed with the dungeon. In repentance for his sins, he gave his lifeforce to me so I continued on.”

“So, that’s what happened…”

I didn’t know all of that specifically, but I had a clue or two from Karr’s final words. It did solve the mystery of why Astria was still here. As to why Astria was topless and looking at me like a piece of meat, that was still questionable.

“So, you came back as the Fairy Queen. That’s a relief.”

“Oh? Who says I’m a Fairy Queen?” She laughed lightly.

“You’re not?”

“I was preserved as I was, so naturally…” Sudden shadows started to stretch out from her.

They came out like hands, but before I could react, several of them had grabbed on to my body. Her wings that were previously glittery and translucent, much like her daughters, took on a dark feel. They were still shiny, but they had a look like polished obsidian. Her eyes and face also grew darker, but rather than make her ugly. It made her even more beautiful.

“Y-you’re still a Dark Fairy!”

“What can I say? I’m not a good girl. I tricked my daughter and you so that I could regain my strength in secret.” As she said this, she began to pull me closer.

The shadows had grabbed my arms and legs, and I was being picked up off the ground and brought over to her. She licked her lips seductively as I approached.

“So, I take it your strength has returned. Where do I fall in that?”

“Didn’t I already say? Make love to me.”

“Don’t you have Karr?”

“Hmph… he’s already dead and passed on.” She snorted. “As for me, I’m so lonely. Remember, it was I who was controlling Celeste when you two first met. I’m… familiar with you as well.”

“Ah… that’s right, Celeste! What about Celeste?”

“What about her?” there was a brief flash of emotion on her face before she turned away. “She’s just a daughter. Surely, she is willing to share?”

“Um. Um. But… you don’t like being cheated on! I mean, Karr was with a lot of other women. I’m with women too. So, you know…” I was desperately reaching for straws now, as I was right in front of her, uncomfortably close.

“I don’t want to talk about that man. I’d rather talk about us.” She said, reaching out and touching my chest.

Her hand began to work its way down, heading down into my pants. In a moment, I was going to be violated by Celeste’s mother!
