  Shedding

  Today Leros was pleasantly surprised to have Alwa wake him up. The elves and fairies had grown accustomed to the palace and started living happily without much worry. Neither had any reason or desire to return to Earth Alpha and took up jobs in the underworld instead.

  Alwa was embarrassed when Leros looked at her petite elven face, he caressed her cheek as she pulled away to increase the effect. Alwa liked being given attention, like a teenager, and got energetic all of a sudden at Leros’s touch.

  Leros smiled at Alwa before noticing the strange taste in his mouth, dust? Glitter? He was confused and tried to lick it out.

  “Oh erm, the fairies tried to wake you up but they couldn’t,” Alwa said after noticing Leros’s discomfort, picking fairy dust out of her own mouth.

  “Ah, what did they do, rub their bodies on my tongue?” Leros joked, but Alwa’s expression said it all, her innocence made it difficult to hide things.

  Alwa’s expression then became slightly serious, meaning she had a message to convey.

  “Nobody has seen Cobera for a while and everyone is worried, do you think you can go check on her?”

  “Sure, I wonder what the problem is,” Leros said before getting up and making his way out with Alwa.

  Cobera was the shy and timid member of the dark palace family, and was usually seen with Scorpina, a mutant and her strong desert-native counterpart.

  “See ya,” Alwa shouted as she skipped further down the stairs, no doubt to continue her duty as guardian, and watch over the massive forest behind the palace.

  Leros approached and quickly knocked on a door to Cobera’s room, “Cobera… Cobera can I come in?” he shouted.

  “…Lerosss,” she hissed in response.

  She sounded ill or tired so Leros decided to take responsibility and walked into her room, swiftly closing the door behind him so Ghost the sneaky spider didn’t follow.

  “Cobera?” Cobera was nowhere to be found but Leros had a hunch where she might be. He walked through the bright sandy floor, past the ‘shedder’ mat and arrived at the playful towers and burrows in which she usually hid.

  Cobera popped her face out from a dark hole and slightly startled Leros because of her vastly different appearance. Her see-through eye scales were peeling off; giving her a frightening and droopy expression, and the rest of her scales had begun to malt.

  “Ah you’re shedding,” Leros stated.

  Cobera nodded and slithered out of the play area, revealing the bits of skin falling off her back. Cobera was relatively embarrassed and it was probably the reason why nobody had seen her for a while.

  “Will you help me, Lerosss,” Cobera hissed, her forked tongue continuously licking the artificial air as usual.

  Leros nodded and went over to the shedder with her. The shedder was a rough mat laid out amongst the sand so Cobera could wriggle on it to get the old skin off her more easily. Leros noticed she had been using it but her back and tail still had a lot left, as well her face. Clearly she wasn’t using the tool properly.

  Cobera started wriggling on the mat in a flailing manner, akin to a fish out of water, but it didn’t seem to do a thing. There wasn’t enough friction on her body and she ended up just looking silly from her adorable movements. Leros saw the problem immediately and began instructing her on how she could use the shedder better. He erected a large sturdy pillar at the bottom of the mat and told her to use her tail as an anchor to push herself back and forth. She followed his instructions; she coiled the tip of her tail around the pillar and began moving back and forth, getting all the loose skin off her back and tail almost immediately.

  Leros had to look away after seeing her do those movements as lewd thoughts arose in his willing mind. Cobera’s slender body and soft torso scales were all that he could think about now. However she was oblivious to her suggestive motions, tossing and turning on the mat. She finally managed to get the skin off, but was unsure how to get the excess skin off her face. Cobera moved towards Leros who sat beside her and she coiled her shiny fresh scales around his body. She peered at his avoidant face and sulked.

  “Do I look ugly Lerosss,” Cobera said in an upset manner. Leros’s eyes widened in horror Why would she think that? He soon realized the misunderstanding and turned to face her confidently.

  “Of course not Cobera, I was just having a… naughty thought is all, pay it no heed.”

  Cobera moved her face closer to his in an innocent yet seductive manner “Naughty thoughtsss,” she said.

  Leros gulped and brought his mouth closer to hers, closer and closer they got until he could feel her thin forked tongue licking his lips, teasing him. The room felt like an oven at this point as Leros’s body felt the warmth of Cobera’s face, which automatically elevated his body temperature.

  A moment of silence passed until they both thrust their mouths forward and began passionately kissing each other. Lewd noised erupted as they played with each other’s tongue. Cobera’s was very thin and was flexible enough to coil around Leros’s as he threw it around the shared mouth, swapping saliva and poison frantically…

  Poison… a factor Leros did not consider after giving in to his lustful feelings. His movements became sluggish and weak, so much so Cobera opened her eyes to see what was wrong. She immediately noticed his swollen mouth and backed away from him in guilt. Cobera must have let her guard down, while being stimulated so nicely by Leros she accidently extended her fangs, which secreted poison while she wasn’t paying attention.

  “Sssorry, Lerosss!” Cobera hissed in panic as his face now swelled like a bulb.

  “Ish ok,” Leros struggled to say.

  Cobera then advanced on Leros and began biting his face and lips softly while sucking strongly. The process took a few minutes but she managed to reduce the swelling by manually extracting the poison from him. Leros looked more or less back to normal now and he stared in Cobera’s droopy reptilian eyes endearingly. Cobera may be an adult but she was easily startled and not very socially adept. Despite this she had a kind heart and always tried her best to do what was right.

  Leros placed his hand over her face and produced an extremely vacuum, his signature black hole. The controlled mass sucked the old skin right from Cobera’s face and she looked adorable once more. She patted her new features and smiled happily as she felt normal again. Due to her excitement she slithered around Leros in sheer joy now that her embarrassing problem had been fixed.

  Cobera came to a halt and stared deeply into Leros’s eyes once more. She seemed hypnotised in her smitten state and attempted to say something.

  “Will you… help me shed nexsst month?”

  Leros couldn’t possibly turn her down.

  “Of course my dear, it would be my pleasure. Are you sure you don’t want to ask one of the girls though?”

  Cobera looked away.

  “Lilica said I looked grossss…”


  Leros rolled his eyes. Of all the people around the palace to ask, Cobera approached Lilica, the bluntest and meanest one. Leros would be having some strong words with Lilica later.

  “Lilica will be getting an earful for that, but next time if I’m not around ask anybody, except Lilica.”

  Cobera cheered up and smiled wide with her snaggle teeth on show. She had a strong grip, a hood for hiding in, poisonous fangs and a cute personality; all of which Leros adored about her.

  “Can I asssk sssomething elssse?”

  “Ask away.”

  “Can you help me fertilissse my eggsss?”

  Leros would normally say ‘Of course’ and get down to business, but seeing as it was Cobera asking, he had a suspicion that she meant something else.

  “Do you know what that means Cobera?”

  “Eh?”

  “Did Mimi teach you that sentence?”

  Cobera nodded innocently. Mimi was the succubus of the palace and loved to spread mischief and adult matters to the younger ones. Cobera was her regular victim as she was both naïve and inexperienced, the perfect combination.

  “Mimi was just being silly ok, what you said means something else…”

  Cobera tilted her head, awaiting an answer that never came. She looked down in embarrassment as Leros patted her head. It seems Mimi was in for a telling off too, but he may not come out of her room without being dominated himself.

  After awkwardly standing in the sand for a while, Leros decided to leave and told Cobera to see her friends as they were
