Read A Day's Venture Page 4

  A humanoid succubus, mutant, snake, and cat stepped out of the infinite space and landed on the platform in front of Ghost. This was the hard part for Ghost; she didn’t talk and looked creepy to most people, not to mention her natural fear of anything that moved. The 4 women: Mimi, Cobera, Scorpina and Nekona looked jet lagged, like after a really long air flight. Leros had already met these beautiful vixens on Earth Alpha and today they got to visit the Underworld properly for the second time. Ghost resisted the urge to hide, and stood still, nervously twitching her spider appendages from the commotion.

  “Owww my head is exploding,” Mimi said.

  Cobera just stared into space, her small mouth agape, while Nekona collapsed onto the floor, unconscious. Scorpina seemed unfazed by their dimensional warp, but upon closer inspection appeared to have fainted while she still stood.

  “Hey, you ok little one?” Mimi said shaking Nekona.

  “Nyaaa, I feel like I’ve been on the catnip again…” Nekona replied, the words falling out of her mouth.

  Ghost observed the girls to better gauge their danger levels and watched them closely with her 8 green and black eyes. Nekona looked like a young humanoid cat, fit and flexible. She wore a bikini to cover the essentials and a sash around her waist, while the fur she possessed covered the rest in a dazzling way. Nekona’s cat ears kept twitching to adjust to the new atmosphere and her tail did the same. This girl seemed agile, alert, and curious, like a hunter, and put Ghost on her guard immediately.

  “Snap out of it darling…” Mimi said, caressing Nekona’s face to wake her up.

  Mimi had a notably more developed body than Nekona and Cobera, making Ghost shyly cover her own breasts in shame. Mimi wore shiny black armour on her chest and crotch, but was overall pretty scantily-clad, no doubt the idea as she was a succubus. Mimi flexed her claws and stretched her wings beautifully as she peered sensually into Nekona’s eyes. This buxom beauty was a threat and a sexy one at that.

  Ghost was thinking of how good these foreigners smelt and was fantasising about how delicious they would be as she licked her lips. However, business came first. Keeping a few eyes on the pair, Ghost began surveying the next girl, Cobera.

  Cobera was still upright staring at the floor, with drool dripping from her constantly licking mouth.

  “Snap out of it you weirdo, nyaaa, you’re drooling everywhere,” Nekona said, standing up and hitting Cobera at the back of the hood.

  “Ouchie, you didn’t have to hit me,” Cobera said, tearing up and hiding in her cobra hood.

  Cobera was a small girl, like Ghost, but she possessed the terrifying demeanour of a snake, which made her docile and innocent appearance seem deceiving. Cobera went and coiled around the final member, Scorpina; who was still silent during their tumble through the portal, and stood proudly, now watching the events unfold in interest. Scorpina was a large woman, very tall and broader than most but still had the curvature of a beautiful woman. Ghost had no doubt she would be a good body pillow, so she made a mental note. But then Ghost saw her menacing pincer and sharp stinger, and promptly readied her web to be used at a moment’s notice, before simmering down as Leros had told her to ‘be nice to visitors’.

  The group of 4 girls finally realized that a small spiderlike creature stood before them, watching their every move. Ghost had her thumb in her mouth and was suckling innocently, waiting until they acknowledged her presence. She only wore a single piece of clothing, a black shirt, one of Leros’s actually. It barely covered her torso and routinely fell off her shoulders as it was too big. She would wear nothing but Leros had demanded she put something on and eventually managed to get her to wear his shirt.

  Although she was small, Ghost’s black sclera looked threatening, and her long exoskeletal spider legs looked sharp and dangerous as they moved around, seemingly by themselves. Nekona hissed at the new creature and forced the alarmed Ghost onto the ceiling, where she clung tightly, ready for an attack as her legs motioned aggressively.

  “Hey!” Mimi shouted, hitting Nekona on the head and expressing her dominance over the group. Nekona cringed in pain as the metal gauntlet made a dull thud and bounced off her otherwise empty head.

  “Um, are you here to meet us?” Mimi said gently, utilizing her well defined social skills professionally.

  After peering at Nekona closely for a moment, Ghost nodded and jumped back onto the floor, and then walked towards the exit.

  “I guess she wants us to follow her,” Mimi concluded.

  Nekona was disappointed she didn’t get to play with the spider but soon forgot her wish as the adventure started. Cobera was hidden behind Scorpina and slithered beside her for protection as they all moved out, Mimi taking the lead behind Ghost. The humanoid women all followed Ghost into the corridor and walked a few steps before she stopped in front of Leros’s room. Ghost brought out a pen and notepad hidden in her shirt pocket and began scribbling.

  “Hey I think she is going to tell us something guys!” Nekona exclaimed. The group drew their faces closer to make out what the spider had written.

  “This is the lard room, wait wha–” Nekona read out loud, confused.

  Ghost’s handwriting was like that of a child’s, the letters bobbed up and down the paper in all different sizes and parts were almost unreadable.

  “…” Scorpina stared, unable to comment.

  “No dummy,” Mimi grabbed Nekona and began knuckling her head, “it says, this is the lord’s room, he is the ruler of the land.”

  “Alright, nya, alright, let go you big breasted meanie,” Nekona screamed.

  Of course all these girls knew who Leros was but Ghost continued to give them the full tour as she didn’t understand such things. The group continued on their adventure up the spiral stairs to the observation tower.
