to lick and suck at Zerxel's freshly fucked slit.  The rogue couldn't resist a satisfied moan of pleasure as Xara licked and sucked the fiend's seed from her, sending more waves of enjoyable bliss through her body.  The necromancer was efficient but continued to suck even after Zerxel was sure that she was now 'cleaned' up properly.  However the concealed door once again opened and a cowled judge of Cyril stood inside.  The Fiend sighed and said,<strong>"My hour with you is at an end.  Make sure you rest and prepare yourself for the second level, and again I remind you that calling upon the imp more than once a level might be dangerous, I would suggest only doing so in the most dire of circumstances."</strong>With that he snapped his fingers and Xara stood up, her face shiny with Zerxel's juices and began to follow the fiend to the door.  Just before she passed through however she turned, her long hair whirling and she fixed Zerxel with a momentary gaze of pure hatred.  But then the concealed door closed with her on the far side, and left Zerxel alone in the two room resting area.<br/><br/>She stood and stretched, not bothering to dress to use the Æthertube, and walked to the desk where it sat.  A simple dial sat there but only the first three selections were marked, "Headmistress," "Announcers," and "Sponsor."  Zerxel turned the knob to Sponsor, and after a few moments the Æthertube glowed to life, the image of the pale skinned red headed woman that had sponsored her on the screen.  Her face split into a smile as she said,<strong>"Greetings champion, I am so pleased to see that you secured a powerful counselor like the Fiend.  I admit I was only a little bit concerned when that other drow had you pinned with necrotic shackles.  But I saw that you made good use of the little gift I gave you.  I wish it were possible for me to meet with you again, for now that you are not a virgin, we could have so much more fun."</strong>She licked her ruby lips and the hungry lust in her eyes was plain even over the Ætherscreen.<br/><br/>With a sigh that made her large firm breasts heave, she continued,<strong>"But we only have a few moments here, so let me be brief while I can.  I won a fair amount of money when you defeated Xara, and I'll try to buy you more advantages in the future, but don't forget that you can earn the favor of other wealthy patrons as other contestants are knocked out.  Personally, I've been watching from sun down to sun up, and been so pleased with your progress.  You are doing very well and finding the magical rings was a great advantage to you I'm sure.  Rakhem said that he'd seen items like that in the past and can confer some physical protection, which you can find useful I would imagine." </strong>The sultry vampire paused for a moment and bit on her lower lip, exposing one long pointed fang before she added,<strong> "And while I don't question the wisdom in seeking out your counselor quickly, your opportunities to find magical and other useful items is going to get harder and harder with each level.  The first level is practically a treasure trove for those who take some small risks.  I'm not saying you're wrong to have beat a hasty path to the fiend, but maybe on the next level you should take a little time to try to scrounge for some supplies or magic?  The second level will have the golden key, as I'm sure you know, maybe it might be a good idea to try..."</strong><br/><br/>The Ætherscreen suddenly cut off.  The fiend wasn't kidding when he had said that Zerxel would only have a short time with her counselor.  Turning the dial did nothing and the screen remained silent.  She knew that it would not activate again.  With a sigh, she would bathe first and foremost, loosening her muscles and relaxing her body.  Then it was time to stretch and go through some simple stretching exercises designed to not only keep her limber but also focus her mind for her trance.  Then she re-donned the mithril and amethyst adorned silken lingerie that had served her well so far.  She attached the corset first, sleeves, shouldergaurds, then rolled silken stockings up her legs and attach them with the garters that dropped from the bottom of the corset.  Finally as any woman who wears garters knows, she slid the silken panties up her legs last.  Wearing panties under a garter is an obvious mistake and not one that any intelligent woman would ever make.  She snugged the g-string into place and then ran her fingers along the edge to adjust it.  She paused for a moment, something was slightly different.  The g-string still ran a thin string down from her hips, into the cleft of her ass, then along her taint before wedging into her thick labia.  But it was... different.  She moved to the mirror and examined for a moment, tugging at the material and enjoying the way the cool silk felt against her most intimate areas.  She looked in the mirror and for a moment was a little curious as to why the "armor" felt different, and it took a moment or two but she suddenly realized why.  When she'd worn it on the previous level, all the way until she'd removed the g-string at Malefactus's request, the strip of mesh silk that covered her mons actually had done so, fully covering her mons.  While it did nothing to cover her backside, the 'string' part of the g-string hadn't started until it was well beneath her sensitive outer lips.  But that wasn't the case now!  It seemed that the triangle of silken mesh with mithril and amethyst decoration was smaller than it had been previously, and the string started much 'higher' up on the triangle of fabric.  That string now snugged between her pussy to the point where standing in front of the mirror she could clearly see the bottom of her sex engulfing the string.<br/><br/>Momentarily Zerxel thought she must simply be wearing it differently and tried adjusting the triangle downwards to cover her labia, but it was no good, then the string rode too high in the back and felt uncomfortable there,  and on her hips.  Sighing she tried adjusting it a few different ways until realizing that this was simply how it must be worn now.  A part of her didn't mind as the cool silken string felt quite pleasant snugged up tightly between her lips.  In fact she could feel her clit engorging slightly as she continued to adjust the material.  Best to just accept it and give up, before she make herself horny and handicap herself in the next round.<br/><br/>She moved to the table and ate her fill of the simple yet nutricious meal, having a few more glasses of the watered down wine, before moving to the bed and laying down to get a little rest.  Unlike the dreamless magical stasis sleep she'd been put in after losing her virginity, she was able to acheive a normal, natural, elven trance state.  What humans would call sleeping, but what elves did.  Several hours passed and Zerxel's body and mind refreshed quite well.  From her point of view, she'd had a very long day since she'd woken up that morning and received the silver stamp.  Of course she knew that out in the real world, likely more than a day or even two had passed so far, possibly even three.  The magic of the dungeon was such that time worked differently here, combined with an unknown time in magical stasis sleep, it could play havoc with the mind of a contestant if she thought about it too much.  So Zerxel didn't, she accepted that this was her rest at the end of her first day.  As she tranced, her mind wandered, dreaming, over the different events.  She thought about the minotaur's cave where Esther had begun to enjoy being raped, and knew that there was certainly some sort of treasure there, minotaurs always had treasure in their lairs.  She thought about the room with the sand and wondered if there was anything she had missed, the mirrors for example?  She thought about how she and Kirsta had made their way directly through the various rooms, fighting gobbers, and wondering if any of the side passages or side rooms might have taken a longer route to the counselors, but one that might have had some advantage she could have used.  She dreamed of the potentials that were missed, but was satisfied, knowing she had been the first to reach the fiend, and ultimately gained his sponsorship.  That could not be undervalued.  He had been generous with her, granting her a bit of his fiendish magic as well as a personalized imp that she could now summon.  There was of course the lovely gift of his cock that he had exchanged only for her virginity as well.  Zerxel wondered if sex with other creatures in the dungeon would be as good.  Her dream was going over the different monsters of the dungeon, some female, some male, and some futa, when a low and loud gong sounded.<br/><br/>Her eyes snapped open and she looked around the room.  The gong sounded again, coming from the Ætherscreen.  She moved to it just as the face of headmistress Ravensoul appeared and began speaking,<strong> "Contestants, there are forty three of you moving onto the second level. Twenty of you have secured counselors.  The second level to the dungeon begins in ten minutes, prepare yourself." </strong>The image of the headmistress vanished, replaced by the image of an hourglass.  The sand trickled down to the bottom and Zerxel knew she had just ten minutes left until her restful break ended and she would again be thrust into the dungeon.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Zerxel's armor has changed, becoming slightly more powerful.  I will be updating the OOC thread to reflect the changes.  But in addition to being more lewd, it also lets her gain any number of successes for each point of lust she gains when using the armor's special ability.  The armor may continue to evolve if you approve of these changes.  But in any regard, you must now switch from the image that you've been using for Zerxel to the following image when you post:<br/><br/>http://i.imgur.com/ljYAgW2.jpg<br/><br/>Please make sure you update that in your image tags for any posts from here out.  Thanks.<br/><br/>ALSO, another note - I've been working on this post since last night, i keep getting distracted with real life, but I WILL come back and edit this post, or put in the next one, zerxel's new stats.  As well as changing them in the OOC.  But I wanted to finally get this post out for you to read and reply too, giving Zerxel a last chance to do anything she wants in the last ten minutes of the resting room, or maybe interject some of her own thoughts or actions in where you want during the few hours she has to herself.</div></div><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Zerxel's Stats</div><div class="spoiler_body">Attributes:       Traits:<br/>3: Body               Acrobatic<br/>4: Mind               Calculating<br/>3: Soul              Diplomatic<br/>2: Minimum Lust       <br/>2: Current lust<br/><br/>    Skills<br/>2:       Swordswoman<br/>1:       Rogue<br/>1:       Dark Elf<br/>1:       Mage<br/>1:       Seductress<br/>1:       Fiendish Corruption<br/>    <br/><br/>Current items of note;<br/>Leather boots<br/>Two plain but sturdy scimitars<br/>Zerxel's Enchanted Lingerie<br/>Black leather boots that strap to below her knee<br/>Pale amethyst nipple rings of protection<br/>Two large blood oranges (These delicious and nutritious fruit count as a very filling meal and drink)<br/>Two small meals<br/><br/>See the OOC thread (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234676.msg11913405#msg11913405) for further details</div></div>
