Chalice of the Vampire

 Picking up the goblet she studied it for a moment. It depicted two Vampiric bats with open wings. Two small rubies above the depicted bat on the bowl. One pair of blood rubies on the chalice stem. At the base of this chalice were eight skulls etched or forged on it. Lia Nikoalas took a drink from it. Its contents tasted sour even though she just poured in sweet tasting wine a few seconds ago. Lia found herself spinning around in one spot. The room twirled around at the same time in a blurry twister. She became engulfed in a twister that transported her through a tunnel that appeared above the ceiling. Whatever kind of twisting tunnel this was it sucked her in. Nothing but blurry twisting images surrounded her as the tunnel brought to a different place than her apartment. When everything stopped spinning and the tunnel disappeared she found herself inside some chamber in a palace or mansion. 

Looking around the place she found she was not alone. Seven Gargoyle statues holding females in various sexual positions encircled the chamber's interior. In between each statue was a bed with queen sized beds. On one of them dark red covered beds was a nude wizard forcing his shaft down a female's throat. On his back in the form of a tattoo was an arcane magic symbol depicting a hand with fire and a star above it. Just above the fiery star rested some eye with a swirl for an iris and diamond stars around it. Lia got a better look at the female who was choking on him. The female looked to be a female dhampir with the vampiric fang bat symbol on each shoulder. While the Wizard kept ferociously humping the dhampir's face Lia had thoughts that this could be a possible rape. He appeared too focused on the dhampir to notice her in the chamber. Taking a single step, she bumped into a railing she should have seen. 

Everything stopped and fell quiet. All the sounds of the lips smacking on the manhood and the gagging along with the choking sounds ceased. Lia was certain this Wizard would stop and turn around then come for her. Fingering her pockets and clothing she felt for a weapon or something to use as a weapon. She found nothing on her. Not a single knife, or pistol, not even a pin or utensil she could use as a weapon. Looking down at her hands Lia discovered the Vampire Chalice was missing. How was she going to get back to Monabay, Nymres? Slurping and sucking sounds filled the chamber as the dhampir worked him in their own section of the room. Did the Dhampir know she was there? Lia did not know for certain. She did not know where she was. Where was she exactly? Yes she was inside a chamber, but in what part of the world? Looking around her surroundings she became oblivious or just ignored the intercourse going on. In the center of this dark purple lighted chamber was a metal spiral staircase. Seeing no signs indicating where she was on the walls or floor she looked up. Hanging from the ceiling was a red flag depicting a gold crescent moon and three thunderbolts. The only region with this flag that came to mind was Vossa. A vast region in the world where one part was wild, another part dead, some parts savage, and tribal. As for the rest of Vossa it was either civilized or cruel, or simply Ominous. Very few places showed any hospitality, or courtesy along with security. 

Realizing the chalice brought her to the lands of Vossa, Lia felt confident in grabbing someone's attention. When she moved one foot forward someone came climbing up the spiral stair case. Startled Lia fell backwards on the hard floor. Both Wizard and Dhampir stopped copulating. Mortified Lia felt her body freeze to the floor. Feeling paralyzed Lia did not know what to do other than watch the pair look in her direction. This Wizard had a thin Oblong face. His hair was in short mohawk with eyes tattooed to is head that flanked the mohawk. Something about his eyes shouted untamed desires. Both appeared to be slitted teal color. Everything else about his face looked more beige colored with scars, and signs of curses. A part of his arm looked completely ruined on the surface like it was burned at some point. Each limb had a sign of battle or defeat. As for the Dhampir's appearance. It was all pale with tattoos all over depicting vampiric symbols, and ancient demonic runes. Her eyes appeared to be purple with the slitted eye pattern. Bleach blonde hair draped over her shoulders and firm breasts. Some bracelets could be seen on her arms, and ankles. Lia was certain she was in trouble. 

"Who are you? How did you get here?" The Wizard asked. 

"Ha ha, I am Lia Nikoalas the Geneticist, Inscriptions, and Occult Keeper from Nymres." She answered in a nervous voice. Lia could not stop herself from grinning nervously as her eyes shifted a few times. 

"You are all three of those professions?" the Wizard pointed out in a skeptical tone. 

"Why yes. Um how are you? Ha ha." She forced herself to ask the Wizard. 

"Travoss Kydell the Teal Wizard. Welcome to the chambers of intercourse." the Wizard answered her. 

"Sorina-Kairos le Vol the Dhampir Sage. Yes welcome to the chamber of intercourse, trespasser." the Dhampir replied with a rather playfully cruel smile. 

"Just show me the way out and I'll be out-" Lia was about to finish when a barmaid came up the metal stairs. Dressed in a standard barmaid's outfit of a white ruffled shirt, striped long skirt, and a fine blue bodice over the shirt. Slippers with a wooden sole was the behind the noise of her coming up the stairs. All three looked at the red-haired barmaid with curls who came up with nothing in her hands. Travoss looked at Lia then at Sorina-Kairos. 

"Excuse me." He said then went over to the barmaid. Grabbing her by the dress he pulled her in to another bed where he undressed her while kissing, biting, and licking. Lia watched as he proceeded to mount the barmaid on the second bed. Showing his desires and hunger were not satisfied he forced himself on top of the barmaid. Each thrust procured a gasp, orgasm, and a cry of pleasure that sounded more like yelping and crying mixed in. Lia and the dhampir listened to the sounds of humping, rattled of the bed, the orgasm, grunts, and skin slapping against skin. When he was done the wizard let out a growl of pleasure before letting the barmaid return to her duties. Travoss spanked her on the left buttocks sending her back downstairs. Each participant in the intercourse cleaned up before dressing back in their clothes. 

Travoss shot a finger at her casting a little spell on Lia. He donned his travelling clothing. A pair of baggy trousers with black chevron patterns, one big hide belt, a long blue linen tunic went over the trousers. Over all that he donned a long-belted charcoal dyed long coat with a hood. Travoss picked up a satchel, a belt with a broken pickaxe weapon, dagger in sheaths or loops, and a cudgel walking cane. As Travoss put on his weapons belt under the coat Sorina clothed herself. She layered herself in a red sleeveless tunic dress with a dark purple Vorcadam Kimono robe over it. Over the kimono robe she donned a large wood brown hooded wrap around her body. It covered the kimono all the way down to her shins. However she was not without weapons herself. Since Vossa was still a savage land everyone there needed a weapon. For her weapon of choice a curved short sword, and a chain belt with some weight balls attached at the ends. All Lia had on her was her green, black brooch of a dragon's eye, a few coins, ID card, ring of keys, three nuts to a lamp, box of twenty matches, office pen, and stress marble. Everything else she would have on her were in her purse, which she did not have with her. Dressed in a dress suite depicting the Nymresian colors Lia felt she was more suited to a banker's profession in Vossa. 

"Are you going to do anything to me?" she asked the pair of them who were heading for the stairs. 

Her only answer was a blank stare from each of them. Neither of them looked in the mood for answering questions. Whatever they set out to do that was already accomplished. Lia knew she needed their help to get back to Nymres. Travoss gestured for her to follow them downstairs. Both started descending the stairs with Lia getting up to follow them. Descending the spiral staircase reminded her of the whirl wind that transported her here in the first place. Dizziness overcame her making her stop to grab on to the railing. The metal felt cool to the touch. A whole story of stone or concrete encased the staircases in a hollow cylinder-shaped prism. Their footsteps were almost stomping sounds due to the metal and wooden steps. Lia kept her eyes on her footing as they descending to the bottom of the spiral staircase. Following Travoss and Sorina-Kairos down she came to another chamber hall that appeared to be the size of four rooms put together. Resembling the shape of a clover heart, this chamber appeared full of patrons from different races, and backgrounds. Cushions of various shapes and sizes covered most of the chamber. Some corners had a circle of sofas and couches in colors of either dark green, red, or purple. Most of the cushions were either red, purple or light blue. In one of the corners of the chamber was a bar area with stools, and booths. A set of doors leading to other rooms or the exit stood closed along the circular wall. A total of twenty-eight patrons occupied the place. Just several or more barmaids, and serving girls carrying drinks around the chamber. Lia was surprised she even found room to walk through the cushion littered chamber. Getting a closer look at the other patrons she noticed they were half-elves, dhampirs, Dark Elves, half demons, Zedirians with hooves, and voluptuous humans. Some were nude, others were half naked, while the rest wore loose revealing clothing. Bar patrons included a few Wizards, witches, and one Zhenrai Knight from the Vestrisian Continent. 

What was he doing here? Lia asked herself as she stepped onto the floor without taking her eyes off him. He did not appear tall, but his appearance stuck out anyways. Opposite him sat the Wizard with graying short hair, fine beard, lightning, and conjuration markings on his clothing. As for the Witches they appeared more traditional in their dress robes. Not the school type, but the stereotypes without the hats. Even the bartender was a witch with the earth elemental sign on her necklace. Next to the Zhenrai knight as a sexy looking witch flirting with the Zhenrai Knight. Travoss, and Sorina sort of parted ways when a door opened, but no one noticed. It gave Lia time to approach this Zhenrai who wore a dark gray suit with a bronze vest. The coat was off including the ascot that lay draped over the stool next to him on his travelling duster coat. On the back of his neck was a burn mark in the shape of the outcast sign. Lia could not believe her eyes. A Zhenrai Knight cast out of their Order. Travoss pulled her away from the bar area. Forced to let the Wizard lead the way she noticed an extended part of the chamber. Through the doorframe she spotted a man making love to several women of different races, and skin colors. One appeared pink with small horns, another looked green toned with jet black hair, and another with the resemblance of an elf only red skinned. As she passed the doorway Lia watched the man pull each woman to sleep in the large bed. Travoss took her to the exit of the chamber and into a corridor that was pitch black save the torchlights that barely pierced the darkness. 

"SHE TOUCHED THE CHALICE!" a voice screamed from the hallway. 

"Intruder!" another voice screamed in the hall. 

"A vampire's best meal in Vossa. The curious ones." a third deep voice declared in the darkness. 

Ignoring these voices Travoss grabbed her arm and pulled her against his body. Lia pissed herself as they entered the dark corridor with nothing but torch light. Pushing her along regardless of her soiling herself the Wizard held up and amulet that created some sort of bubble around them like a shield. Within seconds of moving further the door slammed shut and vampires emerged from the dark walls. Each one lunged after them only to be bounced back by the shield. Fangs exposed, eyes red, skin pale or scarred, and nails become claws on the thirsty Vampires. Travoss kept moving while the Vampires pressed the attack on the bubble as it only pushed them back. Some hissed, others growled, and the rest screamed with anger over the teasing meal they were likely promised at some point. Lia believed there was no end to this corridor until she spotted a door slowly opening. As it opened sun light peaked through. Any Vampires chasing them were either forced back into the walls or likely dead. Travoss went for the opening only to be greeted by a Drow Spider Priestess from Galaia. Dressed in the traditional Galaian Drow garb of leather strips, belts, and chains resembling spider webs on her body the Drow stood near a portal. A palla of dark red with thin white patterns draped over her shoulders in a wrap pattern. Lia recognized her as Alicia Bells the Mad-Liv of House Red Tori. She met the Drow at a party or festival in Galaia honoring an alliance between countries. Blood Red hair with three white stripes in long curls hung over her right shoulder. Was Alicia Bells here to save her? Lia couldn't believe it. Despite soiling herself Lia ripped away from Travoss and hugged the familiar face. A look of disgust must have appeared on the Drow's face as she pressed her whole body against her. Lia did not care if her clothing was still wet or smelled from urinating herself. She was that terrified of being chased by vampires whom she thought never existed. 

Quickly thanking Travoss for getting her out Lia followed Alicia through the Necromancer Portal that was made from bones with a few skulls at the top. A swirling vortex of green and blue lay open for anyone to enter. Taking a deep breath, she plunged into the portal with Alicia next to her. This was also the first time she entered such a portal. She was more used to standard transportation, horses, carriages, stagecoaches, automobiles gifted by the Nazdar Invaders and Inventors of Calorn. Inside the vortex they rushed through a twirling tunnel of green and black filled with skeletal souls reaching out to them. All the way to the end of this tunnel Lia and Alicia had to avoid the arms of the black and green creatures attempting to snatch them. Here she thought the nightmare couldn't get any worse. Grabbing Alicia by the hand Lia squeezed it hoping that would get her to speed up. The Drow Priestess quickened her pace as though she grew six extra limbs and hauled themselves off to the end of the tunnel. Finally exiting the tunnel of green, black arms the pair of colleagues came to a dancing university where servants or slaves were forcefully taught to dance for the pleasures and delight of masters. Its stone walls appeared more ominous than cheery. Yet it was meant to keep nosy Uxane away who were superstitious about scary imagery. Just outside the portal Alicia opened lay a scary looking automaton resembling some mechanical demon with vertical spikes, and pieces jutting from its shoulders beating a fat looking figure into the ground. Lia recognized them as one of the red-brown skinned heroes sent by the temple monks to dispose of villains, crooks, corrupt officials, thugs, bandits, invaders, and monsters. To the new governing powers these were rebels dressed in martial arts uniforms. Many of them attempt covering the uniforms in ponchos, animal pelt cloaks, Overlapping shawls, and tribal wrap garbs. In her mind Lia could tell this was only the beginning of a rebellion.
