Weeks had gone by and Leo still hadn't left the town. He had been procrastinating about packing his belongings and moving along to the east.
One day he made his way to the forest with Twilight. During one of their usual walks, a massive red pentagram materialized and out of it walked Lucille.
"Hello Leo!!" She called out with excitement.
"Oh boy," Leo mumbled.
She ran and jumped into his arms leaving him no choice but to catch a demonic pair of breasts in the face.
"I missed you!"
Leo struggled for a moment before pushing her off.
"Lighten up on me, dammit," Leo gasped before folding his arms.
Lucille hopped on her toes in what could only be taken as excitement of seeing Leo.
She then looked up at the dragon.
"Um...what is that?"
Leo chuckled and smiled.
"Why that's my dragon."
She stared up at him with her fingers around her chin.
"Um...okay...And why didn't you tell me this? I thought you only carried a dragon's soul inside of you! Let alone ride one!?"
Leo chuckled and scratched the back of his neck.
"Well expect the unexpected I guess."
Lucille looked back down at Leo. She saw he was carrying a pack and rations.
"Where you headed?," she asked.
Leo looked at her through the corner of his eye as he began to walk.
"On a walk."
"A simple walk requires that much food?," She questioned with a raised brow.
"No. But in case you haven't noticed," Leo exposed another item bound to his back with a shift, "I'll be out here for awhile."
"Why?"
"Because I want to?"
She nodded and spun around to look at Twilight again.
"So he won't try to eat me will he?"
Leo started laughing so hard a tear came to his eyes.
"Hey that's not funny, you know!" She puffed out her cheeks.
"I'm over here fearing for my life! And you want to laugh at me!?"
Leo pushed her head aside as he walked by.
"Relax. He's not gonna eat you."
She followed closely behind him.
"So you're going to camp out in the forest?"
"Of course,"Leo said, "Also, question for you."
She cocked her head to the side.
"Yeah?"
Leo stopped walking. He looked up at the cliffs around them before turning to her.
"Any new updates from your master?"
She folded her arms and set her chin in her palm.
"Well aside from him camping in the forests, no."
Leo's jaw dropped as her statement stupefied him slightly.
Twilight shuffled his wings.
"Is she saying you are her master?"
Leo shook his head.
"Stop playing games, Lucille." He scoffed before turning around and continued his walk.
"No no," She ran forward and stepped in front of him to turn and walk backwards.
"You see, you kinda took me from Shayaro'Kodon. He's not happy about it, so I've been avoiding him like a plague."
"So you imply I'm your new master?" Leo had stopped. His cheeks had gone rosy red.
"Yep!"
Lucille had folded her hands behind her back, her barbed tail waving behind her.
"Now you can ask anything of me and I have no reason or ability to object!"
Leo grinned.
"Great. Then my first command to you is to leave me alone."
Her happy face quickly disappeared.
"Hey! No fair! I thought that it would be something you wouldn't be able to resist!"
"Yeah but I'm in no mood to deal with an annoying succubus trying to chomp on my life force."
She huffed, shooting her fists down to her sides.
"So you mean to tell me you wouldn't want to have your way with a cute little demon such as myself? So rude."
Twilight chuckled.
"She is an interesting one, Saphire," He said to Leo suggestively, "Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to have her around."
"If I had my way with you," Leo said sternly, "You'd be off in your other dimension doing what you like to do in your free time."
Her cheeks went red as a ripened apple.
"Ugh! You make it so difficult! Please please let me stick around. I beg of you!"
Leo growled.
"Fine! Just don't try anything stupid!"
They walked onward for a time before Leo dropped his things and kneeled by a stream for a drink. he cupped the water in his hands, letting the cool fluid rush down his throat.
He splashed another handful on his face and stood up.
"Here's a good spot."
From where they stood, they could see the valleys and ridges of the Ganda Mountains. They stood on a clearing in the trees loaded with grass and shoots. A few butterflies fluttered about and the breeze was light.
As he began to unpack his things, Leo watched Lucille out of the corner of his eyes.
'So I hold Dominion over that? Hmm. This isn't what I wanted to have to deal with. I hope I can trust this weirdo.'
