Vermithrax led the remaining girls off through the jungle. He supposed he should have waited, but, he hadn't had a girl in so long. Besides, he had to know more about them, and only by consuming one of them - body, mind, spirit, everything - could he truly learn about them. June had been quite enamored by him anyway, he hadn't even had to use any of his tricks to persuade her into voluntarily sublimating her own existence into his.
He stopped to eye the remaining girls. How delicious they looked!
"Is something wrong?" asked Krystal, who about bumped into the dragon when it suddenly stopped.
"Oh, no, nothing. I'm just thinking about which one of you is best suited to become queen," he said. Of course, he left out the part about how he was hoping that after he had absorbed their souls, he would be able to trick the ancient magics into granting him dominion over the island. They would find out in due time. Tonight, actually, if all went well.
By midmorning they had reached the cave he was leading them too. But he wanted them tired, so he veered around it so the girls wouldn't see, and led them on in great big circles through the jungle. The girls followed, mostly in silence, but occasionally chattering amongst themselves.
"I'm so tired! When are we going to get there?" Keira asked as the sun began to hang low in the sky.
"tomorrow, we're close. But we will rest here for tonight." Vermithrax pointed toward the cave, which they were coming 'round again. "You can rest in there. We'll be safe tonight."
With that, the girls made beds of leaves and twigs, and as the moon began to rise they settled down and went to sleep.
After a couple of hours, Vermithrax rose and went to the cave opening. He inhaled deeply, and gently exhaled a voluminous cloud of dense smoke into the chamber. The girls stirred, but did not wake as they inhaled his naturally drug-laden scent, and it lulled them into deep sleep with pleasant dreams.
Vermithrax took a deep breath to recharge, and exhaled again. And again. And again. Eventually the cave chamber was completely filled with his fog, and he sat back to contemplate which girl he wanted first.
