"You're a devil." A demi-human resembling a fox whispered as she was staring at a monster on the opposite side of the fire while cradling her lush red tail in her arms.

"A devil?" The infernal creature with a frozen heart asked the woman as she tilted her head to the side.

"A devil, with horns and everything." Nakatei replied not letting the necromancer's sweetened voice worm into her mind.

"Mmmmm." The necromancer seemed to try imagine what a devil looked like confusing the beast woman before shaking her head as if trying to get thoughts stuck in her mind to leave. "Touch?"

"Touch what?"

"You?" Kia said while staring at the fox through the fire with a look which seemed worried about the demi's intelligence.

"Why are you saying it like that!?" The flustered woman shrieked at the necromancer. "You are the one who is constantly asking questions, why am I being judged?"

The shaman felt her eyes water as she hid her face in the oversized sleeves of her white robe. She could feel her heart being pulled chaotically in all directions as her sudden sadness swung into a fury before swinging back into despair as she began to feel her waist being squashed by some invisible force.

"Tai?" A confused voice reached Nakatei. The voice bore little worry for her well-being even as the pain caused her to begin kicking the ground.

"I AM TEI!" The woman screamed as she felt a warhammer smashing into her abdomen, showing the source of her plight away from her reach.

"Are you okay?" Kia's curious expression changed into a concerned look as the woman appeared to start clawing at her stomach. "I think I have a curing balsam which might help you."

The girl's voice seemed to snap something back in the beast woman's mind as her eyes opened wide and stared at the pale-skinned human with shocked shame at the state she was in. Quickly fixing her gowns into their appropriate and modest position the fox stood up and turned toward the direction they were heading to.

"No, no thank you I will somehow manage. I will be back in a tick so wait here and don't move," Nakatei said she knew the cure to fix the pain between her legs and to lift the fog on her mind, which only required a bit of time and her fingers and not some balsam which sounded like something necromancers put on corpses rather than a medicine. She took a step forward before turning fully around toward the direction they came from as she stared at the darkness in the tunnel and felt the darkness stare back. "Kia, plug your ears like this and don't look this way until I come back."

The petite necromancer gave her a bewildered look before she plugged her ears and closed her eyes. The girl below the fox looked so much more defenceless than before as her big beautiful eyes no longer kept a vigilant watch. Even if the petite girl wasn't the most attractive, her extremely fair and soft-looking skin suddenly became irresistible as the fox's green eyes were clouded by lustful fog. She might not be a man but maybe doing it with her will be more-

"What am I doing?" The shaman looked confused at her hands as she noticed that she was crouching and was reaching for the black dress Kia wore.

The burning sensation on her face cooled down for a split moment as Nakatei quickly ran away from their camp, taking the biggest strides her legs could make. When she thought she was far enough that no one will hear her, she leaned against the cold hard rock before she felt the animal in her take over.

"F-f-finished." The fox woman heaved as she lifted her hand from between her thighs and watched as her grool dripped from between her fingers. "Bleh." A sudden clairvoyance hit her causing the fox to wipe her hand with revulsion at what she had done.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

The beast woman felt dizzy as her mind slowly regained control over her rebellious body at least that was what she thought was happening. After regaining enough strength she pulled her red dress back onto her waist before standing up. She slapped her ceremonial robe to dust it off before putting it on. As the heavy fabric rested on her bare back, she couldn't tell if the wetness causing her spine to shudder was sweat or if had she accidentally wetted her shirt while in heat. After taking her first step forward she realised that she might have satiated her body's desire to reproduce for possibly two or three bells as a faint tingling sensation caused her body to slowly become warmer.

The amber-furred fox slowly began to make her way back to Kia and realised that she had run for not as much as she had taught as it wasn't long before she had reached their camp, finding the wounded necromancer laying on the ground with her hands glued onto her ears.

"Kia, I'm back." Nakatei found the way Kia was squeezing her eyes shut adorable.

"Are you going to have young?" The human instantly asked as she freed her senses and her eyes lay their sight on the fox's form.

*Sigh* The young shaman experiencing her first mating season collapsed onto her bed roll not bothering to answer the human's ridiculous question. She took a look inside her pot and saw that she had overcooked her tea-soaked meat causing it to disintegrate into small heavily browned chunks of meat instead of a juicy slab of meat spiced with the tea.

I'm going to eat that tomorrow. Too tired for any shit now. The demi-human shaman told herself as she placed her hand on her stomach trying to ignore the growing heat.

"Can I try my medicine on you?" The necromancer's expecting voice rose above the fire and reach the scared shaman opposite to her.

"... Show me what this balsam thing looks like," Nakatei said, figuring out that if the strangely interested human somehow managed to lessen her urges, she could fall asleep without spending bells trying to exhaust her body to the point of collapse as the tingling she was experiencing showed no signs of disappearing. On the other hand, if Kia was about to turn her into an undead she would at least know that she had managed to gain the attention of a Guardian Spirit in her short adult life. "It's a paste?" She said as she sat down next to Kia holding a strange black and brown bowl with the so-called medicine in it.

"Not really." The girl shook the bowl causing the green paste to shake also.

The human mage casually gave the priceless bowl to the shaman and instructed her to shake the bowl with both hands. As she followed the girl's instructions the fox saw that the light green paste which filled the bowl separated into a richly green paste which settled at the bottom and a yellow-greenish oil which floated at the top.

"If you put that on your skin where it hurts and rub it in, I think you should stop feeling it," Kia explained as the kitsune's eyes sparkled in marvel at her hands. "Don't use the green stuff though, I used it to etch the layouts of where mana linkages on constructs should go so I theorise that if it touches your skin, you get burned heavily." Kia's words reverberated in Nakatei's skull just as she was rubbing the oily balsam onto her stomach causing her to gulp as her hand hesitated to take more.

At first, Nakatei felt nothing as she turned around from the petite human and rubbed it between her thighs. She began to doubt the mage's words of curing her pain which she should have expected as the pain wasn't caused by illness but by her body which reacted to the changing seasons.

"Oh, I'm starting to feel funnily cold where I..." The demi fell silent before she could finish as a strangely cold and refreshing feeling permeated her lower body as the balsam began to evaporate from her skin.

The feeling was what the young beast woman imagined, what it would feel like bathing in cold mint water. The balsam wasn't even that cold but compared to her body the sensation it gave her was like pressing an ice cube against her body in a middle of a hot day. A smell of mint and coolness entered her nostrils as she began to take long breaths, enjoying the feeling as wholly as she could as she smeared the miracle medicine all over her body, careful not to touch the dark green paste at the bottom.

"Kia?" Her eyebrows dipped into confusion as the amber fox turned toward Kia.

"Yes?"

"I'm feeling like I can't move my foot." Nakatei explained just as a feeling of numbness seized her lower body, completely eliminating the tingling sensation alongside all her feeling in her lower body.

"Oh, I guess it also works like that, good to know." The mage who gave her the bowl seemed completely unfazed by the woman's sudden side effects caused by her potion.

"What to u bean?!" The shaman tried to lift her arm but was unable to causing the ancient bowl to hit the stone floor without shattering but rather spilling all its contents toward the fire. Her speech was slurred at first before becoming just a string of unintelligible sounds shrieked by the panicking demi.

"Don't worry the numbness should end tomorrow. At least I learned that this balsam does this to the living. When you wake up I will ask you some questions." Kia said as she caused the bowl to disappear into thin air leaving a deep scar in the stone floor. Her glowing eyes which resembled some marvellous gems seemed to show happiness at her discovery as Nakatei felt the grasp on reality slip from her numb fingers, left to dream with no dreams at all.

"Kia? What happened?" Nakatei lifted her upper body feeling her body strangely stiff. Cracking her neck before looking for the petite necromancer around herself. "Huh?" She found the pot with yesterday's meal laying on the floor with nothing inside causing the shaman to start worrying as something might have approached their camp without her noticing. Perhaps taking Kia away with them.

Her strangely minty-smelling body began to sweat profusely as Iris's image flashed in Nakatei's mind. With her drowsiness instantly dispelled by a vision of Iris's skinning her alive all while her guard watched silently from the side, she scanned her surroundings trying to find Kia.

*Purr*

"What the fuck?" The beast woman cursed as she heard a sound coming from the bottom of her sleeping bag in which she noticed her tail decided to nestle itself.

Lifting the leather hem of the sleeping bag Nakatei saw something that petrified her. The human was snuggled at the bottom of her bedroll with her lush and well-groomed tail used as a pillow by the necromancer.

"Nyaaaa!"
