Seeker of Thrones 4-28 (King of the Pit)
‘The plain man dressed only in coarse cloth, and his feet were bare, but this was simply a clever disguise, for his unassuming exterior, and even his very flesh, were mere wrappings for the awful and terrible flame inside of him. Enyis could see it poking through his eyes and mouth.
“Enyis,” said the King of the Pit, “Take this flame and with it you will ascend to the surface world once more. Love and light will be yours once again, and you will know the embrace of your family.”
Enyis almost accepted, but as the king held the flame in outstretched hand, Enyis felt its sickening heat, and knew instantaneously that if he took that flame, it would become him. It would never stop burning him until all that was left would be a hunger for more fuel. And he knew it was a clever trick by the King, who could never truly leave the pit, to get him to take that flame to the surface world, where it would burn forever.
It is said Enyis never saw the sun again, and wandered the deep for the rest of his life. But for the alternative, it was a far better fate.”

The crowd wants that D
An Incubus enslaved, it seems. Only a fool dances between two flames.
The question: will it matter?
“The long game sees too far ahead, one must take a step back before a setback will ruin them and the tower comes crashing down with a tumultuous castrophany.”

The veneer of his gift gives way to rot.
So there’s collusion between two bloodthirsty lunatics. Who would’ve known.
Or maybe it’s just a rules-bound contest, though I do not see how cooperation between murderers can be anything but.
Oh lawdy no. Allison, what have you done?
You’ll find warmth in the jaws of god, a flame marked by the crack of bones.
Tread carefully through the teeth or you’ll be sliced by his tongue.
Well, well, well… Is the domain of Incubus a playground for Kings or for Fools ? Maybe both. Either way we can see what happen to those who gave in to his hungry flame : He simply added the potent fuel of ambition so that their flame could burn brighter and hotter but by doing so consumed themselves and left behind only a shadow of their former selves.
ALL-ISUN, you stupid girl, it would be best if you found something to subtain this burning ambition of yours.
Cozy!
Incubus x Jagganoth is my OTP
Hunger gnaws
Darkness draws.
We all have flaws.
Weeeelp! Can’t say I’m surprised.
Incubus and Succubus?
Oh shit, my dudes
Oh shit, my dudes.
Greatness is a drug. And when you don’t attain it yourself, you have no idea what it takes to maintain it.
I guess I should say something about the shocking revelation that Incubus is also working with Jagganoth, but…
..Why wouldn’t he?
This is totally in character for him.
He promised them to be kings, warriors, and people of influence, and that is what they became. Kings and queens of mud, reigning in finery over a muddy and putrid domain.
Bow down to her if you want to.
Bow to her.
Bow down to the queen of slime, the queen of filth, the queen of putrescence.
There is a fine line it seems between consumption and consumption.
A few familiar faces seem to have been afflicted with both.
J: “Incubus! My nigga!!”
I: “Sup u weeb”
J: “Am gud, am gud”
I: “Ayy lmao”
“Very soon, my pet.”
It will be a million years and yet too soon for me to hear those words again. And where I heard them it was not a Demiurge who spoke to a Queen.
Nay I saw a mere man with a morsel of stolen power and aspirations of a feudal domain — a Snake of a man — speaking to an oracle — a stolen girl of barely twelve summers. He drugged her both when the visions became too much, and just to keep her docile.
His demise came none too soon.
Out of curiosity, how soon did the oracle’s demise come?
… is that the Conquering King..?
Awshizzzznit.
Is that the Conquering King?
Awwww shizzzzzzznits.
Hey, it’s those guys! I love those guys! I bet Allison will love them too.
The difference between a council of the most distinguished servants of the Lord of the Golden Army and the dregs of a drug den, from my own knowledge, is the scale of their bodily impurities.
