Chapter 24
Red eyes like blood stared into mine. Thin vertical pupils split them like a snake's. Dark scales covered her face from the eyes up, the lower section was a pale purple, almost as if she was suffering from hypothermia. Her lips, however, were scarlet, full and plump. A pair of fangs peeked through, making for a stunning picture.
Dangerous and beautiful. I thought she would look more reptilian in nature, but she looked like a woman.
A very beautiful woman. A stunningly very beautiful woman. A stunningly beautiful yet dangerous looking woman.
Stop it!
Silvery white hair like smoke fell down her shoulders to her waist, spilling the rest down her back. Two long, black horns emerged from her forehead. They looked to be around twenty centimeters long, bending backwards.
She wore similar clothes to the priestess, with plenty of differences, however. Hers had a more intricate golden motif and were sleeveless. A black leather belt directly beneath her chest acknowledged a sizable volume and a lean midriff. The body fitting clothes also displayed wide-ish hips. The front of the skirt opened halfway down her thighs, showing her legs.
A lithe tail dark as night hanging behind them, bending up and avoiding the floor. The limbs were slender and toned, covered in scales except for her inner thighs, where her skin showed the same shade of light purple as her face.
Scales continued from the knees down, thicker the lower they went. Her toes ended in claws, sandals protecting her soles. Her arms were similar. From the elbows, scales turned thicker towards her fingers, ending in claws. Her limbs didn't look that different from a person save for the scales.
I walked towards her and she met me halfway. We studied each other in silence. Her elongated eyes stopped on my cleavage for a few seconds, then averted her gaze, blinking a few times. I noticed her eyelids were covered in thin scales. Her eyebrows were scaly and the pattern clearly noticeable.
Our eyes met again and I let a wide smile form. Excluding her horns, she was a few centimeters shorter than me.
She was beautiful in a primal way. Her features were sharp, her eyes like a predator's.
