The red haze shuddered and dissipated, revealing a familiar yet fundamentally different form. Oscar had been truly ascended. He was no longer a fledgling Vampire and had fulfilled the requirements to ascend to a Scion. His violet eyes cut through the darkness landing firmly on Sallie who had reverted to her human form on the bed. He could sense her heart beating erratically and his upgraded emotional sense informed him she was curious, nervous, and most of all scared.
His flaring violet eyes burned and Oscar tried to convey his gratitude to Sallie. Lillith had mentioned Scion's having the capability to influence the emotions of others and he wanted to experiment. Sallie's breath hitched, her pupils blown wide as Oscar's unintended wave of gratitude crashed into her like a steel anvil. It was a biological command to feel safe, to feel cherished, and it left her trembling. She whimpered softly and went limp under Oscar's unintended assault on her emotions. She grunted out, "A thank you would have sufficed princess. I don't love being your test dummy for your powers. Although next time you bet your ass, I'm gonna have you use that to get me riled up." She smirked at him picturing their next rendezvous.
Oscar helped her up easily lifting her into the air by her waist with one hand. He brought her close and kissed her deeply while cutting off his gaze. He wasn't quite sure how to stop his new power yet, so he opted to simply close his eyes 'til it dissipated.
Lillith broadcasted her voice to the lovebirds, "Congrats on achieving Scionhood extremely quickly. Now make sure you get that recording for me. My plans rely on it."
Sallie's eyes grew wide, "Lillith you dirty whore, is that you? Girl I missed you at our last orgy. Is this why you couldn't make it? It was so boring without you there to spice it up."
[Tell her I missed her too and spank her ass for me, dear.]
A woman after his own heart, Oscar tested his newfound strength by spanking her ass nearly breaking the sound barrier as he did. The impact would have shot her across the room if Oscar hadn't wrapped his other arm around her waist locking her in pace. Her ass rippled and grew ruby red. She bit her lip trying not to give him a reaction, but couldn't hold in her scream. Glaring at him like she was about to initiate a second round, "Did she tell you to do that?" He kissed her again, "Guess."
Oscar explained Lillith's situation and offered Sallie to bring Sallie to his home and introduce her to his partners in crime. She accepted wanting to chat with Lillith more as well. Speaking of the vampiric voyeur, she told him to head to a certain place within the Sindhe Hall. Sallie went off to catch up with Siobhan.
Oscar arrived there and felt Lillith do something inside him that made him want to sneeze. A harrowing presence descended on the isolated clearing. The presence solidified into a distinguished form of a tall imposing vampire wearing a viridian green robe. His horrifying aura was somewhat negated by the shit eating grin he was bearing. "Lillith, my beloved! Is that your call I sensed? Why are you inside this young- oh a Scion already? Impressive work young man. You nearly beat Nostradamus' record."
"She told me you have an artifact she needs that you'd trade for this little gem right here." He procured the SD card and waved it at him.
The vampire locked in on the memory card and procured a milky white orb. "Shouldn't we do our introductions before we get down to business? Kids these day are so impatient. I am Lord Valerius. Who might you be?"
Oscar chuckled, having completely forgotten to introduce himself. "My sincere apologies Lord Valerius. I have a randy werewolf waiting on me, so you can understand my impatience. I am Oscar, Lillith's heir."
Valerius blurred and appeared behind him. "Don't play with an old man's feelings now. You wouldn't be holding a vampire-werewolf sex tape, now would you?"
Oscar smirked, "I can see why you and Lillith got along. Indeed it is and it features a live view of my ascension to Scionhood as well."
Valerius handed him the orb and snatched the SD card out of his hand. "Lillith, you have outdone yourself with this one. This payment might not cover the quality of the material you've given me. Fear not, I came prepared. Tell me young man, if you had to pick would you improve your constitution or emotional resonance?"
[Pick the latter. Trust me.]
He did as he was told. Valerius shook his head ruefully, "Ah I forgot the wisdom you possessed in your soul. Every foolish young vampire goes for the first option ignoring that the ascension already does that for you. Put down your guard for a moment." Valerius' palms were ice-cold against Oscar's spine. A jolt of electric, viridian energy surged through Oscar's meridians. "There," the Ancient whispered. "Your voice is louder now, little Scion. Try not to scream in anyone's ear."
Oscar was deeply curious about the orb, but had more pressing concerns. He shook hands with Valerius and departed to go find Sallie. She was waiting for him near the exit idly chatting with Siobhan. The Fae grinned at him, "Busy day for you, eh? Now you're stronger you might be able to handle the favor I had in mind for you."
Oscar mirrored the gesture he offered to Valerius and shook Siobhan's hand firmly. "Thanks for introducing us. She's a masterpiece. I'll be happy to do whatever favor you have in mind."
Siohan nodded at this and Oscar linked arms with Sallie and left the hall. They meandered through the city like any mortal couple, cuddling each other as they walked. They made it to the apartment and Oscar asked Sallie to wait here for a moment. He slipped through the door, the Ring of Calhoun swallowing his presence, his evolved grace that made him a ghost. He moved without the slightest ruffle of air, a silent shadow returning to its haunt. Searching for his partners, he found Lydia's head buried in between Elena's thighs nearly bringing her to a glorious finish. He watched unseen and decided how he wanted his prank to play out. His instincts wanted to take Lydia right there and surprise her as she ate out Elena, but he didn't want to leave Sallie waiting for too long. So he opted to pull down her panties and start eating her out as well. He moved his tongue in circles pressing against her g-spot and pleasuring her clit with his thumb. He knew all of her weaknesses and brought her to a rapid orgasm just as Elena did. They harmonized in a symphony of moans as they did.
Elena looked down at him between Lydia's legs and gasped. "Oscar is that you?! When did you arrive? You look so different." Lydia was limp between them still in the throes of her orgasm. She stuttered, "Hey baby," and flopped over to her back to take a look at him. She eyed him up and down like she was starving for a taste. He chuckled at both of their ogling and said, "Put something on if you want, I have someone special to introduce to you." Leaving them to hunt down their discarded clothes, he went to grab Sallie. He brought her into the foyer and handed her a glass of cold beer. She thanked him with a firm spank on his ass, repaying him for earlier.
Elena and Lydia trickled into the living room and gaped at the tall muscular woman clad in just a red leather jacket and tight black jeans that were more tatters than clothing at this point. Lydia was eyeing her bulging biceps, while Elena was locked on her rack that dwarfed her own. Sallie cleared her throat. "There's plenty of me to go around ladies, but maybe we should do introductions unless you'd like to keep undressing me with your eyes. I wouldn't mind taking this jacket off for you if you asked nicely."
Elena and Lydia gulped in unison, but before Oscar stepped in and rescued them. "The sweet one here Elena is my first partner and my concubine. She manages the real estate arm of our nascent empire. She's a versatile switch with more kinks than I can count." Elena blushed at his praise hiding her face with her hands.
"Meanwhile, Lydia over here was an Olympic swimmer and my only thrall, in name only. She stands on equal ground with Elena, excluding the bedroom. Then she's usually on her knees or her back. She handles the financials including our investment portfolio and our philanthropic efforts. She's submissive leaning and eager to please." Lydia stood straighter hearing Oscar's perception of her.
Sallie rubbed her hands together deviously. "You've got quite the taste in women handsome. I can't wait to get a taste. The name's Sallie." She pointed a thumb at her bare chest baring her canines. "I'm a werewolf and I've claimed Oscar here as mine, so no other werewolf will be allowed to get near him. Unless they wish to fuck around and find out." Her talons flashed menacingly emphasizing her claim over him.
"But, I'm more than happy to share him with you two lovely ladies. Especially if it means we get to have some fun together. I'm not sold on joining your coven just yet. I value my independence dearly, but I could be open to it one day."
Oscar squinted at her, "Can werewolves even join a coven? Has that ever happened before?" He had asked the question not expecting an answer, but the milky white orb in his pocket began heating up.
White smoke started emanating from it materializing into a spectral form. Lillith's form appeared sitting on Sallie's lap. She turned and tried to squeeze her breasts, but her limited form could only feel her up. "Damn it. I'll have to wait a bit longer to feel these bad boys again. To answer your question, no there has never ever been a vampire coven that included another mythical beast. We are far too territorial to allow such a thing. And to answer the question you are about to ask, yes the Orb of Remembrance allows me to take this partially embodied form. I can finally speak to to the rest of you as I please. The Orb will need to be periodically charged with moonlight. You three are even more ravishing in person. Finally I can have a courtside seat to the action. One of these days I'll get to join in..."
All four of them were frozen in place stunned by Lillith's reveal. Sallie recovered first and wrapped her arms around the vampiress giving her the warmest hug she could receive in her new form.
"Gods, I've missed that." Lillith whispered.
Oscar smirked at her, "That was the best trade deal I've ever made in my life."
"Oh, there's something else we need to knock out before you horny fucks start bumping uglies." Lillith proclaimed.
Elena glared at her, "Miss Lillith, that's quite hypocritical of you to say from what I've heard about you isn't it?"
The ancient vampire bent over in a fit of laughter. "Got it in one. But yes, Oscar you will have to take point on this. Despite being a part of you, not even I can tell what your unique power might be. You went above and beyond the requirements doubling your required kills, achieving harmonization, and harvesting mythical emotions from ol' mommy milkers here."
Sallie chuckled at the nickname and Oscar tried to do as she asked. Perceiving his soul was a new experience, but his instincts guided him to its depths. He found mostly what he expected, but one new addition caught his eye. A pulsing black fortress had manifested at the core of his soul. It felt like an unbreachable haven built from his will. He shared his findings with Lillith.
"Oh my, you've done something unheard of. Many of our powers tend to overlap as they are shaped from our souls and their deepest desires. It seems your desire to be free has manifested in this. To put it into words you'll understand. You have acquired a new trait, Indomitable. Any attempt to charm or tamper with your mental sanctity can be repelled and possibly even reflected back at the caster should your willpower exceed theirs. This is truly a cheat-like boon. Vampires have been on the losing side of the matchup to Faes and Sirens for all of history, but you are now the exception."
Oscar clenched his fist, feeling the walls of that black fortress in his soul. "Never again will I suffer at the whim of another," he murmured, his violet eyes flaring with a dangerous, steady light. "Let them try to get inside my head now."
