Lust, the very thing people are so very aversed about speaking, as if it’s taboo, that it’s not allowed in the slightest. People judge the ones that express themselves freely, that embrace that huge part of who they are. Everyone is always judging, the good, the bad, the horrible, the list of things you aren’t allowed to speak of continues to grow longer and longer, making many be aware of the eyes that follow them, watching their every move, like they would lose everything if one knew. What a sad life to live, never being able to accept yourself, explore your mind, your body, but in hell, in the layer with the very same name, all are welcomed.
The ruler, the queen, the sex machine of hell! Lust herself, the personification of the act, the feeling, the urge, she would never say no to a good time, and because of that, she has a plethora of demons, spirits and souls to dance with, day and night, a never ending party under the sheets. Ever since she received her verdict of becoming the next Queen of Lust, she was determined to make sure none would be able to resist her, and her sexual prowess. Men, women, or whatever, she judges no one, as long as they desire her carnally, she would give them what they want, when they want.
However, after the war that shook the very core of hell, she wasn’t feeling it too well, it was difficult to get back into what she loved more than anything in the world. Of course, she still enjoyed it more than anything, yet she wasn’t able to enjoy it as much, it wasn’t the same. “That’s why I’ve decided to go to the living world and have some fun! It’s the perfect solution!” She excitedly tells the room full of sisters, all with their mouths agape once they hear Lust’s brilliant, totally not idiotic plan. “I really don’t think that’s a GREAT idea, maybe you should, uh, not do that?” Gluttony pipes up while stuffing her face full of meat, it was lunch time.
“Yeah…she’s got a point, we’re here for a reason Lust, we don’t mess with the living, they aren’t our jurisdiction,” Sloth chimes in, having just had her afternoon nap of no responsibilities, a little sceptical, “plus, why do you wanna do more? Just take a nap or something. Who knows what might happen up there?” Lust groans, she loves her siblings to bits, but they would never understand her needs or wants, they were, them. “You girls don’t get it, whatever, I’m going anyway, don’t miss me too much!”
And thus starts her very eventful conquest of the living world. She had planned for it to be a quick visit, a dip and dash if you will, just a little taste never hurt anyone, and all she was doing was giving the people of the living some pleasure, a good time, fun, and once the deed was done, she’d leave a new lion, and if she found anyone fitting to her taste she might bring them back with her as a new member of her harem, no big deal! Then why is it not going according to plan? She knew not everything would follow her step-to-step guide on a good night out, but this isn’t what she envisioned. The figure in front of her, the way her body moved, her melodic voice, the stunning visual of her swaying under the moonlight, she couldn’t take her eyes away, she had never met anyone like her, the way this lioness captured her attention was entrancing. Lust was mesmerised. A little too mesmerised.
“Hey, you okay? You’ve been sitting here for a while.” The voice snaps Lust out of her daydream-like state, having to stop herself from yelping out in surprise at the sudden invasion of privacy. But it didn’t take long for her to figure out that the person in front of her was the one she was staring at so intensely just earlier. “Uh, yeah, yes, I’m okay, must’ve blanked out for a bit there, sorry.” Lust tries to laugh it off, but sort of stumbling over her words like a complete fool, the pretty lioness in front of her definitely did not help her case in the slightest.
The lioness giggles at Lust’s lousy attempt at covering for herself, making Lust melt because of them. It’s surreal, The Lust, the one and only that would not take a second glance at the sexiest demon in her land, that would not bat an eye at the city’s stud, was turning into a puddle in front of this mortal lass that’s enjoying her time at the village festival. “So, you wanna walk around the festival?” The lioness expresses some suspicion towards the question, and the one who asked, “With you? What's your offer?” With a puzzling look on her face, Lust hesitantly answers, “A fun night?” With a laugh that turns her to mush, the lioness agrees, leading the way for their fun night out.
“You think she can hear us? All she's been doing is staring, at nothing, it's creeping me out girls!” A very concerned and weirded Envy loudly judges her sister's new behaviour, and the others kind of agree that Lust is acting a little off. It wasn't just the staring, it was the bumping into things that were clearly visible, always spacing out, listlessly giggling to herself, a constant grin on her face for no reason, it was making them uncomfortable, and fairly curious about what happened during her night out in the mortal realm. Despite their endless worries and warnings, Lust kept going back, to the living, to her.
She could not get enough of her, the way she walked, her playful gestures, her sassy remarks, she kept going back to her for more, she wanted to see more, hear more, be near, a sight of sore eyes, and a sore heart. “Look, being a ruler of a realm is hard, so much to do, every other day tons of my subjects come to me to fix their problems, it's not easy to satisfy everyone okay? Going to the mortal realm is…relaxing. It helps.” Her sisters just had expressions of annoyance as Lust tried to explain herself and her motives, which they aren't buying in the slightest. And despite their protests, she still visits the living world often, going on dates and outings with her…friend. They were so fun, so exhilarating, but there is just one thing Lust couldn't bring herself to do, and that’s to tell her who she is, her real name, her role, her past. But even with all her hesitation and secrecy, it wasn't long before everything came crashing down, just like what her sisters told her.
She had found out, by sheer coincidence because of Lust's carelessness. “I-please, listen to me, I didn't mean to hide it, I just-” She cut her off, heartbroken, yet anger is the one dominating, “You just didn't want me to find out that I was only your play thing, right? One of your collections, a game!” As she goes in, sadness starts to creep into her voice, a shaking, trembling mess while she tries her very best to stay calm, it wasn't helping. “I…I thought we had something…was it always just me? Were you ever going to tell me I was just another part of a harem collection?” She wipes away a stray tear, knowing she couldn't hold on much longer, “I'm glad you had fun.”
For the next few months, Lust…where is Lust? Lust had closed herself off, from her subjects, her realm, her sisters. After that unfortunate situation, she had become a shell of who she was. She had never imagined the day would come that she would experience the pain of heartbreak, but there was nothing she could do, because that angel of hers was right. For the first time in her life, she had wished that she was an ordinary lioness, one that could give her a normal life, but she could never, maybe it was for the best. However, love was never that simple. Even when she had lost out on her chance at it, she decided to make things right by her, by dismissing her entire harem. It didn't matter anymore, her harem meant nothing now, they didn't excite her, nor did they fill the hole in her heart, the only one who could do so, had left.
Yet, life has a funny way of playing tricks on their most unsuspecting people, because the last person Lust expected to see in her throne room was there, standing before her, as beautiful as the day she left, and still, her heart beat for her. “This look certainly fits your whole ruler of an underworld realm much better,” she smirks, pointing at the horns on Lust's head, and her fiery, glowing eyes. Before she could ask a million questions to the enchanting figure across her, she spoke in a soft tone, eyes on Lust and all her glory, “You know, you have some amazing sisters, they told me everything, what you did, what happened after I left. I didn't plan to come, but I thought I should at least hear you out, it wouldn't be fair if-” Lust had made her way towards the rambling lioness, gentle gazes, and a soft touch as she places her paw on hers, “I love you…my angel. Will you stay with me? Here, as my queen. I will give you everything I have and more, so please, don't leave.”
The words spoken swoons her, delighting her, knowing she had wanted to hear them all this time, but she wasn't about to make it so easy for the royal pain in her ass. “So, what are you offering? A fun night?” she mockingly jests, clearly calling back to her first meeting with Lust, but at the same time, curious about the turn of events. She is the embodiment of lust after all. Lust, never breaking eye contact, her paw firmly, yet gentle on hers, a sheepish, loving grin forming as she spoke, “How does forever sound? Just you and me.” Lust shuffles her feet slightly, she had never expected that she would ever utter those words to anyone, ever, but here she was, here she is, professing her desire and affection to someone, and that someone is breathtakingly beautiful. Lust takes a deep breath, unwaveringly, “If you’ll have me…my angel.” A small smile forms on her gorgeous face, giggling “Why don’t we find out…
my love?"
