Be Not Afraid of Monsters

On three legs, Lurid did her best to run the short distance toward the foothills of Dreamer's Col. The empress was a highly private creature, and hadn't wanted her son to wander outside for some water or something and catch her doing anything inappropriate with Alastor. It wasn't a long journey, but the effort did take some of the steam out of her desire. Taking an easy route through the scree, Lurid found a cave that both of the lust-driven demons could fit into and move around in without a problem. On the trip over, she wrestled with herself, actually unsure of her current path. If she did let him take what was so sacred, what would happen? Lurid was unconcerned about pups being a possibility, even with the current challenges facing the queen she wasn't afraid of motherhood. So many times they had come close, but Lurid could deny him no longer. Tonight would be the night she chased his worries away. They would perform their own rites, in their own way. And it would be glorious!
