Spring had come again, giving the incubus an excellent reason to be strolling through his domain. His black, knee-high boots pounded on the ground as he made his way towards the little village. How the humans hadn't recognized the forest to be his, he had no idea. He traced the carving with a black claw that marked so many of the trees in the woods, it depicted a viper's head. It was his mark, the humans must have been imbeciles to not realize what that meant. Humans really weren't smart, that was something Meiranis had learned a long time ago.<br/><br/>A scent made him pause for a moment. A human, no a woman was nearby. His lips pulled away from each other to reveal sharp fangs forming a grin. He had had to wait nearly a whole year for this, but it was worth it. Jumping into the air with no effort at all, he used his bat-like wings to glide to a nearby branch. Adrenaline began to pump through his veins when he spotted the girl. His eyes narrowed on her. Maybe she would last longer. Only time would tell.<br/><br/>"You know this forest is home to a demon, don't you?" His low, booming voice teased casually from no direction at all as he jumped from branch to branch. Before he could get a response from the girl, he continued. "And do you know what happens to humans that trespass here?" He landed with a thud behind her, his grin of fangs ever so close to her neck, allowing his hot breath to whisper in her ear: "You will soon enough."
