October CYOA - Nyleth (pt. 2) (Patreon)

So, then, why did I have you pick two? Well, the particular breed of demon that Nyleth is transforms when they consume enough of the emotion they want to eat, becoming a new being with its own tastes.

In that regard, Bombshell Nyleth desires feelings of elation, excitement, and so forth. So she creates situations to feast on those feelings. As she gets full, she progressively becomes her Princess mode. Once full, her personality and tastes change. Princess Nyleth desires loyalty, trust, and the like. That Bombshell creates situations where people trust her and want to be around her creates a bounty of emotion to feed on. Unlike her succubus cousins, her feeding will not kill her victims, but she can eventually drain a person of the emotions she prefers, leaving them unable to feel joy or to trust others for example.

This cycle of mutually beneficial situations creates an opportunity for a transformation into an even more powerful, exaggerated Bombshell and Princess. So long as she can continue to feed, she will continue to grow both physically and magically. However, the inverse is also true. If she goes without eating, she moves in the opposite direction, becoming a paler and paler shade of either mode and will eventually fade away.

Which brings us to tonight’s poll. What did Nyleth do to have her horns broken and be branded a traitor? [pick one]

A) Crashed the party of a Greater Succubus, draining the guests and inciting an orgy with her at the center. A Royal is killed in the frenzy.
B) Her cousin Hajyu put out a bounty on her head to make sure she was out of contention for the throne of the realm they control
C) Caught up in the excitement of a rebellion, was made a patsy for the failure of security
D) Actually a royal stripped of her title because her chaotic presence was a threat to Taulic’s bid for the Throne of Heaven
