Ongoing Story/What squire?! That's a succubus!

From Create Your Own Story

Chapter 30: Unlikely? Let's try REALLY strange....

Indeed, the figure standing in the clearing could be no other kind of being. She is wearing a leather jerkin over a white linen shirt and comfortable-looking pants tucked into boots suitable for travel. She has white hair, which is long and straight, blue eyes, and a body that even you yourself would be willing to trade yours for. Not too voluptuous, but well-shaped and proportioned. Leathery wings protrude from her back, and her skin tone is an unearthly blue. She is also wearing a bastard sword at her hip, which means she can fight as well as she can charm.

You prepare yourself for a fight, but Carol seems to smile under her helmet and sheaths her sword before dismounting. "Alma, we're going," she said.

"Alright, Mom! Er...I mean...Lady," she replied brightly, leading her horse over to the group. All of you, especially Li'a, look somewhat warily at Carol. Succubi are known for their ability to beguile and control, and perhaps she manipulated the knight into acting as her protector. As for Li'a, it was well-known that houris and succubi were enemies.

"Explain...please..." Li'a asked quietly, her expression tense. Just then, the succubus' lower lip began to tremble. Carol hugged her reassuringly, then turned to Kayla. "She is indeed my squire. I found her in the forest, a mere child about to be eaten by another demon. My brother, who is a mage, and I managed to drive the demon away. So, we raised her as our own, despite many misgivings. It took a few years for my lord to find out about Alma, and this is what caused him to dismiss me. It certainly could have been worse...but for my brother. He confessed that it was his idea, then cast a spell of blinding light. I took the opportunity to take the child and run. For this, I'm sure he died...."

As the young succubus hugs Carol, you try to decide if you should trust her or not.

What do you do now?
