The Dragoness and The Kitty
he dinner with all the members of the Almaan’s family finally reunite in their mansion was wonderful, as it was the time I and Votan had spent with Serpentina and some of the contestants of the tournament at “The Anvil”, but it’s not possible to compare it to the incredible night we had when we came back to the mansion. It was pure passion between us, probably even much intense than the first night we had together, and maybe I have to thanks Kathleen and Ahadron for it, because their words and their gentle hearts had relieved my sinful soul. I don’t know for how long we made love, but at last we both fell asleep exhausted but happy to finally had found each other.
When I wake up in the morning, Votan is still there at my side, staring at me and smiling. While he gentle caress my cheek, I smile him back, happy to have him near me right now and for the strong sensations and emotions he gave me during the night. His hand is warm and gentle now, but during the night it was eager to explore my whole body to give me intense pleasure, something which made me reached many wonderful orgasms and, at last, I had to beg him to stop twice to try and gain back my breath. I must admit it, Votan is an incredible lover and I’m really falling in love with him!
“Good morning, my love!” Votan says, just before kissing me lightly on my lips.
“My love”….two words I wasn’t expecting to hear again and, anyway, not so soon.
“Tell it again, Votan….” I say, smiling again at him.
“My love….” he replies, smiling back at me, just before we kiss passionately.
But soon, someone knocking at the door interrupts us. The idea to be caught by one of the other members of the family in Votan’s bed, is really embarrassing, because we didn’t told to them about us, even if Varon have some suspect. I try to hide myself under the sheets, when I heard a feminine voice coming from behind the door.
“Sir, I had brought the water for your bath, as you ordered!”
Hearing this, Votan pulled himself up, sitting down on the bed and having care to cover his crotch and legs with the sheets, he invite the girl to come in and prepare the tub for us. She seems youngest than me, maybe twenty or twenty-one, and without paying attention to us except in the moment when she enter in the room, when she nods at us, she pushes a cart with four jars full of hot water inside the room. She simply does the job she was called for, without looking at Votan and his exposed body, or at me, with just my head popping out of the sheets. Even if she appears like a silent and discreet girl, the embarrassment doesn’t want to leave me and till she remains in the room, I stay like that, hiding myself from her sight.
Just when she has done her job and she steps out of Votan’s room I push down the sheets, taking a deep and relieving breath. Votan laugh at this, probably happy to have the proof of the fact I am as any other normal girl or, anyway, more than how my appearance can reveal. I look at him a little disappointed by his reaction, but at last I can understand it….for sure, shyness isn’t something that fit to a half-demon creature as I am! And after all, I must admit it, the thing makes me laugh too!Votan is the first to stand up and leave our comfortable and warm bed to enter in the tub. While he is walking naked around the room, I can’t avoid to stare at his perfect sculpted body and I have to bite my lower lip to resist at the intense chills which are running again thorough my whole body. During the three years I was a gladiator at the service of Lord Barton, I had seen many naked male’s bodies and I never had a reaction like this! Maybe it’s the physical attraction between us, or maybe because I feel safe when I’m in Votan’s arms, so strong and gentle at the same time, or maybe something else….but for sure, I can stare at Votan’s body all day without getting bored of watching him and his “equipment”!
My heartbeat, now so frenetic, start to slow down and become more regular only when his body finally disappears inside the tub. Of course, it disappoint me a little, well more than a little, but I know there will be more nights to spend together from now on and, maybe, not only nights….and the idea makes me smile in a lascivious way while the memories of the night make my body twitch a little.“Why don’t you join me in the tub, Lady!?” Votan asks, interrupting my daydreaming “There is enough space for both of us and the water is wonderful!”
Votan’s proposal embarrasses me a little, but at the same time sounds so tempting! For a moment, I hesitate to accomplish his request but a nice and warm bath is what I really need now to relax a little more and to definitely recovery from the intense, wonderful and pleasant night we had. At last I stand up, leaving my naked body totally exposed to Votan’s eyes, which are staring at me with admiration and a veil of lust, as if the whole night wasn’t enough satisfying for him.
The fresh summer breeze coming from the window is pleasant on my skin, so I take a look outside it and the sunlight forced me to barely close my eyes, still not used to it. Slowly, my eyes are getting used to the intense light of the morning and from the window, I have a full view of the harbor and of the stone walls which protect it. In fact, the Almaan’s Mansion is the only one three floors high house in the area and the bedrooms are all placed at the third floor, so the other houses between the mansion and the docks, didn’t obstruct the view from the bedroom’s windows. And from what I can see from here, as usual the harbor is full of ships of any type, from merchants’ ones to others full of travelers who are coming to Libidinis for the festival, the real attraction in the city during the summer season.“It’s a wonderful view, isn’t it, Lady!?” Votan asks, looking at my back and, in particular, at my bottom.
“Indeed it is….” I reply, taking a deep breath “I can get used to admire it every morning….”
“Me too, my love….me too!” Votan says with a veiled malicious tone I didn’t catch right in that moment.
Staring at the wonderful panorama, I stretched a little, finally feeling more relaxed and with a nice sensation of happiness in my heart. Then, I turn to Votan with a sudden movement that makes my tits bounce, making Votan smile visibly and, of course, a little maliciously at that unexpected but welcomed view. Feeling his eyes pointed on my naked body make me blush a little, but I’m getting used to his penetrating eyes, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it and I step in the tub, right in front of my lovely Votan.
The temperature of the water is perfect and the tub is big enough to offer to both of us the space we need to sit in a comfortable way and to wash our bodies without interfering with each other. Many times in the past I had took a bath with Horgus being so close, but today it looks a little different, more embarrassing or not comfortable, and probably it depends by the fact we are in a place I’m not still used, even if I can consider it as my home. I don’t know if Votan have notice this, anyway, when we have both done, he talk to me with a sweet and gentle tone.“Why don’t you come a little closer, my love!?”
I look at Votan a little perplexed, then I reply at him while a smirk appears on my lips.
“What did you have in mind, Votan!? Are you not satisfied by the intense night we had together!?”
“A single night of passion with you isn’t enough for me, Lady….” he says, looking straight at me “but I swear you….I just want to have the chance to hold you in my arms, my love!”
Votan just want to hold me in his arms….suuure, how can I doubt of it!? He want hold me, kiss me, touch me….and probably more and to be honest, I don’t dislike the idea! I found it tempting, exciting….and immediately, the memories of the two nights we spent together came back in to my mind, giving me some pleasant shivers of excitement. We stare at each other, smiling a little maliciously, both perfectly conscious of our deep feelings and of the incredible and unstoppable attraction which are growing between us.
Without any more hesitation, I crawl to Votan and sit right between his legs, having cared to tease him placing his cock right between my bum cheeks. As I was expecting, it react immediately to that unexpected but welcomed sensation that totally wrap it and now it’s growing, teasing me till the point I must bite my lower lip to resist to the temptation to turn and make love with Votan right here in this tub. But I can’t avoid the tight grip of his arms, which wrap me in a warm and sweet hug while he softly whisper me the most wonderful words I ever heard: “I love you!”
I close my eyes while my heart begins to bump faster and I’m sure Votan can hear it very well. I place my hand over his left one, without interrupting that sweet moment which is running between us and we both hope can be endless, but we know we have several commitments during this warm and wonderful Saturday we can’t avoid. But at the same time, there is something I need to talk with him, something really important for me and for the whole family. So, after had enjoyed this pleasant moment a little longer, I interrupt the silence between us.“Votan, I must tell you this….” I say, turning a little my head to look at his face “I was pondering at what Serpentina said at the tavern…..”
“About helping me and the City’s Guards in the search for Brutu’s assassin!?”
I nod at him, while I try to find the right words to continue. But he does it before I can spill a single one.
“Of course, your help can be precious for us, especially your incredible nose….but you are not a regular member of the Guards and this can cause troubles!”
I’m perfectly conscious of what he means. The City’s Guards have their rules, their line of command and I know nothing about them, plus I’m barely new in the city and I don’t know if the citizens will entrust me as Votan and the Almaan family do, so I can’t blame him if he hesitate to accept my request and probably I’ll do the same if I was at his place! But I don’t want to give up, not now that we have a chance, even if it’s really small.
“There must be a solution, Votan….” I ask him, waiting impatiently for an answer.
“Mmmm, maybe….” Votan replies, taking a break while he is pondering at a solution “maybe we can officially ask for your collaboration, but the Prefect has to approve it too!”
“Who, Signis!?” I ask, surprised by the fact the Captain of the Guards can’t act totally by himself.
“Exactly. As Prefect of Libidinis, he has the power to take similar decision, but I don’t know if he will accept our request so easily!”
“Oh, don’t worry Votan….he will! I’m sure of it!” I reply to him with a devilish smirk “When we can go and talk with him!?”
“Mmm, I’m not sure, but maybe in the afternoon….” Votan says, taking a little break “but before we can go and talk with him, I have to pay a visit to another place!”
“Where!?” I ask, wondering about what Votan is planning and about why he must do it before we can talk to Signis.
“Trust me….it may help us to obtain the Prefect permission!”
“If you say so….” I reply, a little doubtful but perfectly knowing he always had act for our best.
“Trust me, my love….” Votan says again just before embracing me tightest and kissing my forehead.
The market, as usual, is a very busy and vital place. Here, during the whole year, people coming from the city or from the nearest kingdom bring together thanks to the interesting merchandises that can be found, but during the Summer Festival, the city of Libidinis become a place which connect every form of life of the whole continent. Humans, Elves, Dwarfs, Felinx and more other come to Libidinis to enjoy this incredible Festival and its atmosphere full of joy and happiness. Of course, the Festival brings more richness to the City and to its merchants, but even the other activities increase their amount of business: more travels, mean full rooms for the inn of the City, but even more peoples in search of good food and some relaxing time in the taverns or at the hot springs.
To don’t mention the fact that this incredible amount of peoples attract the merchants of the nearest cities and countries, which have to pay a not so cheap price to operate on the city’s ground, fulfilling the wallets of the city’s administration. At last, any activity of the city have the chance to grow prosper during the festival and this is why this is the most waited event of the whole year, when everyone do their best to make the Festival itself more interesting year after year, even spending too much money in the organization, but always increasing the profits of the whole city.And this Saturday afternoon, the situation is almost chaotic. Walking in the market is barely impossible, we need five minutes just to cross from a side to the other of the street, to don’t mention the long wait to take a look at any single stand. We must admit it, came to the market for some shopping now, in the afternoon and with no match in the arena, was the worst idea we can ever have, but Votan really had insisted to buy me some new clothes I can use outside the arena. It took two hours and half to reach the tailor’s shop and had the chance to find something which can fit to my tall body without too much modification, but at last we were able to do that, even if it was really a long and stressing wait. But the long day in the chaos of the market, is far to be at its end.
In fact, when we have done at the tailor’s shop, instead of moving to the Prefect’s House, Votan lead me to the area where the City’s Guards barrack lies, just to stop in front of a normal house not so far from it. Votan knock at the wooden door of the house, which opens soon revealing a woman right behind it. She wears a fine decorate blue dress, a clear sign of a certain rank, so I can suppose she is a member of family which have some influence, even if not so high, judging by the place where their house is placed.“Sir Votan! What a pleasure to have you here at my place!” the woman says, particularly excited by the presence of Votan right in front of her door.
“The pleasure is all mine, Lady Minerva!” he replies, smiling at her “Excuse me if I go straight to the point, but is Karina at home!?”
“I’m sorry, Sir, she’s not back from her duty but I’m sure she will be home in few minutes! If you want come in and wait for her….”
“Oh, no, Milady….we don’t want to disturb you….”
Telling this, Votan makes a step back, as if he want to leave the place, but the woman suddenly grab his left arm pulling Votan to the door, trying to pull him inside her house. I’m a little perplexed by the scene which is running right in front of my eyes and I begin to wonder if this is something that happened every time Votan came to visit the girl which live here, Karina. And most important, I wonder who this Karina is! From what I heard, Votan isn’t involved in any relationship, so which role this girl have in Votan’s life!? It can be possible that she is a secret lover of my beloved Votan!?
While I’m pondering at this and Votan is still “fighting” with that mysterious woman, the voice of a girl catch the attention of all the three of us.
“Mother, what are you doing to Sir Votan!?”
Immediately, I turn in to the direction where that voice is coming and what I see leave me stunned. In front of me, I can see a young and very pretty girl and she’s really different from any other girl I had ever seen around the cities I had visited in the last three years. Probably she is just nineteen or less more, but what really amused me isn’t to see how young she is, but the incredible color of her hair: they are not so short and shines as pure silver thanks to the sun behind her shoulders, but taking a better look at them, I can see they are of a light grey color, very unusual in this part of the continent. Even her green eyes are particular, her pupils are thin, more similar to the one of a feline than to the one of any other human I ever seen and this two factors make her a girl who is really difficult to ignore when you see her even in a crowded place. Of course, even her perfect and sinuous body can hardly not be noticed, especially if it’s not so hidden by an half thigh long vest, but for sure it isn’t the first thing that catch the attention in her, even if it makes her really attractive and sensual.
Hearing her words, the woman finally free Votan’s arm and turn to her.
“Oh, I was doing nothing to him, Karina! Sir Votan came to visit you, so I was thinking to offer him some good hospitality!”
“Yes, I’m sure of it, mother….” the girl replies, coming closed and barely shaking her head with closed eyes. Then, she turns to Votan and taking a deep breath, she continues.
“I’m sorry, Captain….hope my mother wasn’t too much pushy, as usual!”
“Don’t worry, Karina, I’m getting used to her attentions for me….even if I don’t know why she cares of me that much!”
“I don’t know it too….” Karina replies, a little embarrassed and lightly blushing “Anyway….I can presume you was looking for me, Captain!”
“Indeed, that’s why we came here. I know your duty is over for today, but I wonder if you are so gentle to come with us, Karina. I have a new task for you!”
“A new task, Sir!?” the girl asks, perplexed while she was looking at me “And it have something to do with your guest!?”
“You are smart as usual! And I suppose you heard about her, Lady Dragon….”
Looking at me, Karina step closed without saying a single word. Probably she is trying to understand which type of person I am and why Votan need to talk with her about me or, anyway, of something that involve me. Then, after some moment of silence, she talk again.
“I heard of you, Milady….and it’s a real pleasure to meet you!” then, she turn to Votan and continue “You can count on me for any task, Captain!”
“Very good, Karina! Can you follow us to the Prefect house right now!? I’ll explain you two everything while we move there!”
And after we finally leaved Karina’s place, Votan explain to us his plan to obtain Signis’s permission to make me cooperate in the search for Brutus’ assassin. His plan is basically simple and to avoid a negative answer from Prefect Signis about my request to cooperate with the City’s Guard, Votan want to propose to him to don’t act by myself but under the supervision of one of the member of the Guards, Karina. It sound as a good plan to me but honestly, I’m a little doubtful about the choose of my partner. I mean, Karina is young and probably she have just finished the trainee requested to join the forces of the City’s Guard and probably, as I have this doubt, Signis can have it too. Something that didn’t happen, with my big surprise.
“I think the help of Lady can prevent even other problems during the Festival, my dear Votan! Another accident can cause too much trouble to us and you know how important the summer festival is for the City!”
“Indeed, Sir….that’s why we came here. Lady’s help can prevent even some more robbery, recently there were too many of them too!”
“I think you are right, Votan….but did you think they can really cooperate without any problem!?” Signis asks, looking at me and Karina with a frown.
“My my….this looks like the reunion of two lovers and not the one of a brother and a sister!”
Votan and Kathleen both turn to the direction of a member of the City Guard who is just few steps far from them. Despite the insolent tone this one used, Votan didn’t looks so upset with him and I’m wondering why, after all Votan always had showed to me to be the type of Captain who pretend discipline and determination from his men, so why he is acting in a different way with him!? Then, when I can finally see him, immediately understand it: the young man is the male version of Kathleen, they have very similar facial features and the same hair color….just their bodies shapes are different, with him having a massive and apparently toned one, even if not comparable to Votan’s one. I have no more doubt about it, he must be Ahadron, the third born of Varon and the last brother of Horgus and just in case I can have some more, Votan’s words throw them away.
“You always like to joke, don’t you, Ahadron!?”
“You know me, Votan….I’m the funny guy of the family….” he replies, smiling at Votan.
“I know it too well, since we were child….but it’s nice to have you back here in Libidinis, Ahadron!”
“And it’s nice to being here again, Votan!”
Telling this, the two men grab each other wrist in the typical greeting of the City’s Guard. They both appear fierce and resolute and the fact to be finally together after the long absence of Ahadron, was a relieved for both of them and even Kathleen, which is staring at her two brothers, have a gentler and less forced smile on her face. Of course, the death of Horgus was a tragedy for all of them and probably, not being all together when the news arrived at the Almaan’s Mansion, didn’t help them. After all, Horgus was the youngest of them and even if he sent many letters to his father, he was leaving away from them for long time and the fact to don’t had seen him again alive for a last time, wasn’t something easy to handle it.
They talk for some minutes and even if I can be able to hear them thanks to my superfine hearing, I prefer to let them talk in private, quite sure of the fact that Ahadron and Kathleen are asking more details about Horgus and me to Votan. Staring at them, I can see their reactions to Votan’s words and with my surprise, by their expressions they didn’t looks angry, maybe tired by the long travel and a little sad for the bad event which hit their family, but nothing more. And again, I can sense that feeling of anxiety rising inside me while I try to figure out how Ahadron and Kathleen are going to react when we are face to face. Something I’m about to discover, because they are all coming in mine and Varon direction, till they stop right in front of us.“We are at home, father!” Ahadron says, smiling at Varon and greetings him in the same way he did with Votan.
“Welcome home, my child” Varon replies, while he embraces Kathleen “I’m glad to see you two are back safe!”
His words hit me as a knife. I know he didn’t it on purpose, but for me it’s like if a sword was piercing my body and heart, making me bleed till death. I turn my face away, to don’t let Varon see my expression and how I feel right now. I know he cares of me as I’m his daughter but now, the only way I can look at me is as the cause of his loss, which probably had leaved a deepest wound in him than how he want to admit and I can imagine. Then, suddenly, I hear the voice of Kathleen calling my name.
“You must be Lady….the only girl who was able to caught Horgus heart….”
I look at her and on her face and eyes I can’t see anger against me, maybe just a veiled sadness. Kathleen approaches and embraces me so suddenly, leaving me astonished: her soul, despite the moment the entire family is living, is warm and that embrace is giving me a really wonderful sensation, as if she is trying to comfort me. Then, when I’m finally free from Kathleen’s arms, Ahadron step in front of me, landing me his right hand.
“Welcome to the Almaan’s family, Lady!”
And while I hold his hand tight, I can’t avoid to happily smile at his words.
When I finally wake up, the sun is high in the sky and Votan isn’t there at my side, but his scent is all around me: on my body, on the bed and on the pillows….everything around me reminds me at the wonderful night we spent together! I’m a little disappointed by the fact he is not here, but I can understand why he left me alone while I was sleeping, after all Votan and the City’s Guards are all focused in patrolling the city to prevent crimes during the festival and to try to discover some traces left behind by the assassin of Brutus. This is Votan’s job and he can’t avoid doing his duty, as I can’t avoid going to the arena before my second match begin. To don’t mention the fact I had a deal with Prefect Signis and Queen Ophala to respect, if I want to gain my freedom once and for all.
Reluctant at the idea to release the pillow I’m holding tight to enjoy a little more Votan’s delicious scent, I sit on the border of the bed and stretch a little, trying to throw behind my shoulders all the sufferings which are gripping tight my soul and heart. Of course, the intense night of passion I just had with Votan offer me the perfect chance to do it, but the path to completely heal my wounded heart is still long and difficult, even if now I’m making the right steps on it.
Standing up, I move to the window and open it to take a look at the world outside this room, a world which can be cruel in its amazing beauty but which can offer you surprise behind every corners. And Votan, that night, was the most pleasant surprise I got in the last days! But wasn’t the only surprise….more will arrive during this shiny and peaceful day and the most incredible one, probably is the possibility to finally meet the last two members of the Almaan’s family, Kathleen and Ahadron, which will be both back to Libidinis after a long and very busy commercial journey with the Libidinis’ fleet. I don’t know how they will react when they can finally be in front of me, maybe they will consider me as the responsible of Horgus death, even if the real one is still unknown to me and to Votan and his City’s Guards.But there is time to be nervous for that, now I have to prepare myself for the arena and the first step is to have a nice and warm bath, something I’m really in need especially after the long and intense night I spent with Votan. The only part I don’t like of taking a bath, today, is the fact that the soap will cover the nice scent of Votan and it disappointed me a little, even if I know there must be more chances for me to enjoy it in the near future.
The second, obviously, is to have a nice and energetic breakfast, something really important if I want to be in the right condition to fight in the arena. Not that I need to fight too seriously, considering the fact that my opponent will be another normal human, but as Horgus has taught me, I must be always ready for everything when I step on the ground of the arena.“Good morning, my dear Lady!”
Varon step in to the room, surprising me a little. I was quite sure he was at the Guards’ main barrack waiting news about the investigations and not here at his family’s mansion. He is smiling at me, as he usually do since the first time we met at the warehouse, but today, I can see a little of malice in it and a doubt immediately born in my mind. Anyway, I’ll try to don’t think at it and while Varon is sitting right in front of me, I speak to him.
“There is some news from Votan, this morning!?”
“No, nothing, for the moment….” he replies staring at me “But maybe you have news, my dear!”
Again, Varon’s smile is a little malicious and I can feel his eyes straight pointed on me and I can’t avoid to lightly blush. A deep silence fall between us, while I try to find an answer to his question which will not reveal what happened during the night, even if I suspect he just have a vague idea about it.
“I got the opportunity to talk with Votan…..he’s very kind, he tried to cheer me up as you had done in the afternoon, Varon. I really appreciate what you two did for me.”
“I see….well, I’m happy to hear that, my child, and I’m sure his presence will help you to cross over the pain in your heart!”
Varon didn’t say it openly, but it’s clear he have clues about what happened in my room last night. The point is I have no idea of how Varon was able to discover it and I doubt of the fact that Votan had talked to him about us, he didn’t looks the type to do something like this! Maybe, Varon accidentally heard our excited moans or, more probably, he seen Votan leaving my room this morning, before he left the mansion to accomplish at his duty of Captain of the City’s Guards. Anyway, whatever the real reason is, I feel embarrassed now and I’m wondering which idea he have of me, so I try to change the subject of our conversation.
“Varon, the fleet will arrive in the afternoon, am I right!? Did you know when?”
“Mmmm….if I remember it well, they will be here around 4:00 p.m.. Why so interested!?”
“I have a demonstrative match today, but I hope I can arrive in time at the dock to meet and welcome Kathleen and Ahadron, that’s it!”
Varon smiles at me again, conscious of the fact I’m really getting in touch with him and the other members of the Almaan’s family.
“Don’t worry about it….I’ll ask to the manager to set your match earliest as possible. He is a good friend and he will not refuse a favor to me.”
“Varon, really….it’s not needed!” I reply, feeling sorry to cause to him so many troubles, but happy at the same time.
“I insist, my child….even Kathleen and Ahadron are impatient to finally meet you!”
Again, this family surprises me, it doesn’t matter how many times they do it, their gentle hearts always leave me stunned and now I’m very exalted by the possibility to finally meet its last two members. Without being conscious of it, a sweet and gentle smile appears on my face and Varon immediately notice it.
“You are really beautiful when you smile, Lady….sadness never fit on a young girl as you!”
Varon’s words make me smile more, cheering my heart and soul. I must admit it, I was very lucky to be accepted so well and easily by Horgus’ family and now, I’m starting to feel a member of it, exactly as Horgus was probably hoping during our travel to reach this incredible and a little mysterious city.
When the time comes, Varon and I leave the mansion to go at the arena for the daily matches of the tournament. Once we are outside it, we took or ways, but not before I had the chance to gave him a warm hug to thanks him for all the things he had done and said to me in the last two days.
In the waiting room of the arena, the atmosphere it’s heavy and when I step in, all the others contestants turn to me, a little surprised to see me there. A strong pat on the shoulder, catch me unprepared and with my guard down.“I heard what happened during your match, Lady….I’m glad to see you here and safe!”
I turn to the one on my left and I’m surprised to see Serpentina and the nice smile she have on her face. Even the expression of all the other gladiators change, everyone relieved by the smile which answer to Serpentina’s words. Serpentina and many others, have nice words for me now even if they admit to be worried by my reaction during the match, worried by the not so remote possibility that I had totally lost control of myself. But when they were informed of the truth behind my actions, they were all relieved to know I was perfectly conscious of what was happening and I was able to take under control my rage.
I apologize with them just in time for the begin of my match, which was a not so difficult task for me and in less than five minutes I’m classified for the next stage of the tournament. When I back at the waiting room, the same who were preoccupied for me, are now cheering and congratulating me, inviting me to join them at the tavern “The Anvil”, an invite I accept very happily. Then, I leave the arena to reach the harbor in time.Twenty minutes left to 4:00 p.m. and the fleet is entering in the harbor passing through the huge stone walls which protect it from eventual attack coming from the open sea. The fleet is formed by five merchant’s ship and other two which escort them during their long and sometimes perilous travel from dock to dock in search of new market for the products of Libidinis and to obtain more partnership for the city and its prosperity.
At the head of the fleet, the ship of the House of Mercator advance slow to the dock where I, Votan and Varon are awaiting the arrival of the fleet with trepidation, especially me, a little nervous at the idea to finally have in front of me the last two members of the Almaan’s family.Slowly, the ship is approaching at the dock and after few and excellent maneuvers, the ship can finally moor to it. I heard many times about the ability of the sailors of Libidinis, the only comparable to the ones of Rhoonas and the navigation’s school of both of them are well known in any city of the continent. In fact, many sailors or apprentice captains come to those two city to learn the difficult discipline of sailing and till the begin of their studies they have to face with the Berin’s Sea, one of the most dangerous sea human’s being know.
And I had a proof of how difficult it can be to sail it! The vortexes appear suddenly and it’s impossible to establish logic in it, I had experienced it clearly during my travel to Libidinis, something I don’t want to experiment again and so soon. But those men and women do it every day to grant richness and prosperity to their families and to the City of Libidinis, even if this is not the only reason that makes Libidinis a strong and powerful city.Here, anyone can have an opportunity to change his life, it doesn’t matter the race or the gender, it’s all about having a strong will and good timing to propose some new and productive idea, the only important thing is it mustn’t be against the laws of the city. Of course, most of the laws were made by the House of Mercator and, of course, they grant some special benefits to its business but thanks to the support of all the merchants of the city, it’s not difficult for the Prefect, who is also the ruler of the House of Mercator, takes under control the nobles’ families of Libidinis, which don’t always agree with the Prefect lines of conduction.
Of course, Signis always paid attention to satisfy requests coming from some very influent peoples who live in the city or just want to open an activity in it, so here it’s not unusual to see a brothel in the area nearby the dock and the shipyard. The first one was opened by a merchant who reached Libidinis from a city of the nearest Kingdom of Swabia, where his activity was not so well accepted, and soon another one was opened by another merchat coming from the city of Rhoonas. Then, there was another one, till they became four, at last. Naturally, there were many polemics about those places, but the possibility to grant more money to the city and have more visitors who can be interessed in doing some trades before enjoying a night of passion, had made change the opinion to lot of peoples which weren’t in favor with the opening of those activities, at the begin.
The city of Libidinis is really something you can’t find elsewhere and it’s very easy to be caught by the atmosphear you can breath in it and I had experienced when I met Colette, a woman who is the living expression of the city and his freedom. But now I’m free by her influence, thanks to the love of a wonderful and sweet family, which was able to accept me for what I really am and not for what I appear at their eyes.m They are the family I missed for so many years, almost sixteen, and they all showed me the brightest side of human’ nature or, at least, it’s what was showed to me by the members I allready had met till this morning. I can’t be sure of how the last two, Kathleen and Ahadron, will react when we are finally facing each others, but deep in my heart I wish they can accept me as Varon and Votan have done till the day I arrived in the city.While the preparations to permit to the whole crue to leave the ship are on the way, the nervousims begin to grow and despite the fact I was almost ready to meet Kathleen and Ahadron from the moment I woke up in the morning, now I really don’t know what to expect by this intense and incredible moment. Varon, who was standing at my left, notice it and placing his right hand on my shoulder, he gently smiles at me, as he ever do when I felt down or when I’m nervous as in this moment. Few steps away from us, Votan and Mardukas are both carefully watching at all the operations, while their men are patrolling the area of the dock around the ship, where merchants and other citizen are waiting for their goods or for relatives.
Right now, I really wish to have Votan by my side, I know how his presence can help me to relax a little. Not that Varon can’t do that, but the bond which had born between me and Votan is strongest than the one I have with his father. Immediately, the sweet memories of the night we spent together emerged in my mind, making me blush a little while I look at Votan. I wonder if he is thinking at us while doing his duty or if he is the type of man who focus on his work when it’s needed without giving to personal emotions be in the way, but for sure, I can say he is a man I can really trust.Then, suddenly, a feminine voice caught the attention of me, Votan and Varon.
“Always busy protecting the city, Votan!?” she says, walking down the footbridge.
“It’s my duty, you know it, as yours is to made the House of Mercator richest, if it’s possible!”
Votan reply to her was friendly, maybe too much, so I can presume he must know her very well. The girl is walking slowly, barely lifting the lower border of the long green dress she’s wearing, to don’t risk to stumble on it and fall along the footbridge. She’s tallest then most of the other women I had ever seen in my whole life and even if her dress can appear simple and with not so many frills, she’s really elegant with her long brown hair trailing down her chest tied in a plait. The dress barely reveal the shapes of her silhouette, it’s not so tight except on her waist, where a brown with golden decorations belt embrace her flanks tight, giving a vague idea of how slender and well proportioned her body is.
The only jewelry she’s wearing, is a pendant made by a thread of pearls with a golden medallion which have a blazon carved on it, and more I stare at it, more I have the impression to have seen it recently, but at the moment I can’t remember when or where. Then, suddenly, an image appears in front of me. It was in the Almaan’s Mansion, while I was walking through the corridor which lead from my room to the stairs: a portrait right on top of the stairs had caught my attention and from what I was able to see, it was a paint of a youngest Varon and her wife, Margareth, a very beautiful and elegant woman, from what I was able to see. I didn’t paid too much attention at her face, what really had attracted me was the pendant she was wearing around the neck, the same pendant the mysterious girl in front of me is wearing right now.
Thanks to this little detail, I finally understand: that girl must be Kathleen, the second born of Varon. And taking a better look at her, I can see the same deep and crystalline brown eyes of Horgus and Votan but for sure, she has inherited the facial features of her mother and the same attitude for commercials’ business and the love for travels, something Varon and Votan didn’t have.“Welcome home, sister!” Votan says when they are finally in front of each other.
In replies, Kathleen hugs him gently with a happy smile on her lips but in her eyes I can see a small shadow, probably due to the notice she had about the premature departure of Horgus, her beloved little brother. There is no sign of tears in her eyes now, but I’m quite sure she had shed many bitter tears during the travel and I wonder if she’s really fine or if she’s trying to appears strongest than how she is just to don’t give more preoccupations to Votan.
My kisses become more intense, while I hold his hard rod at its base with my hand and gently stroke it. Votan’s body immediately reacts at that stimulation and even his expression changes. He closes his eyes to better enjoy the sensation I’m giving him and when I wrapped my tongue around his shaft, he can’t avoid groaning softly. I had always loved to hear Horgus groans when I was playing with his cock and even now, with Votan, I feel the same! Votan is mine now, under my control in some way, and I can give him more pleasure or let him beg me for it….I wonder what he will do if I stop right now!
But even if I would like to stop, I can’t do it right now! His cock, that sensation of control which is growing in me….maybe, in a different situation I’ll pander it, but not tonight! I want his wonderful cock, I want to taste it and I want Votan with all my strength, I want to be taken by him as any other normal girl! Now I’m sure of this, any member of the Almaan’s family have the incredible power to push out the girl hidden deep inside my not human body. They always touch my soul, even if anyone of them do it in a different way and now it’s Votan’s turn to give me that beautiful and so wanted sensation.Under the gentle but firm touch of my tongue, his shaft is visibly throbbing and it looks almost ready to explode and spray is white, delicious nectar all over my face. But Votan is still resisting to the pleasant sensation I’m giving him, even if I can clearly read on his face how difficult it can be. Holding tight the base with my hand, my tongue begin to move down its length, slowly and voracious, covering any inch of it with my saliva. Then, once it’s near my hand, it moves back, rising along it and with it, even mine and Votan excitement. I repeat that many times, having cared to do it all around Votan’s rod, till precum spill out the swollen and now dark red tip. And more my tongue continue its dance, more precum comes out, completely covering it and starting to drip down that majestic rod. Before it can cover my hand, I lick it away, following its trace till the tips and wrap it with my mouth, sucking that delicious cream till the last drop.
Votan’s groans become more intense and while my tongue tickles the burning tip of his shaft, my hand begin to strokes its base more vigorously. Votan’s cock is pulsing faster and his groans are very sensual for me….they give me shivers making me even more greedy for his cock, which soon is now half way in my mouth. I can’t avoid looking at Votan and he does the same. He smiles at me and gently fondles my hair, while I suck vigorously his cock, taking it deepest little by little. Votan didn’t say a world, but in his eyes I can clearly see how he appreciated my warm, skilled mouth and the touch of my hand. And I enjoy this too, of course! Plus, his cock is so big that it needs just 2/3 of its whole length to reach the back of my mouth and my chin is barely in contact with my hand.
Not that I am not used to this strange sensation, but Horgus cock wasn’t long as Votan’s one, so I was able to totally hold it in my mouth, but this time it’s different. I can’t be sure but probably, something like two more inches are out of my mouth and I don’t know if I can handle them. I’m about to give it a first try, when Votan pushed my head down his rod, making me swallow it all in one go. It cut my breath and I have the impression to suffocate, but Votan’s grip on my nape is strong, more than how I was expecting, so I can’t free my mouth from that beast which have reached my throat, now. I tap my hand on the bed, trying to catch Votan’s attention, but he continue to smile staring at me, and only when I tap it again for several time, he penlight his grip, finally giving me a chance to gain back my breath.
His cock is about to pop out from my mouth when suddenly, he push my head down again, with more strength, penetrating my mouth and throat with his majestic rod. Again, I try to free myself from it, failing. Not that Votan is stronger than me, but I have the impression my body isn’t reacting as I want and I can’t explain the reason to myself, except one, probably: my body is taking its pleasure by this new experience!In fact, I never had felt my body burning so much with Horgus, the chills which are running on my body really intense, to the point they make me feel a strange and pleasant itch all around my rosebud. I can sense it clearly and more Votan forced his rod in my mouth, more that itch grows and with the desire to have it inside me right now. Votan plays this game again and again, and little by little, I’m getting used to it, but not completely, and now, that strange sensation is nearby pleasant, even wanted maybe.
And anytime he does it, the desire to have it inside me grow, till the point I really need to find another way to satisfy it. And soon, I found it right in my own hands. Being kneeled down with my bum raised up in the air and most of my chest placed over the bed, I don’t need both my hands to support my body and soon, my fingers begin to rub against my itched rosebud, while Votan continue to deeply penetrate my throat.
My fingers are finally able to give me a first but little sensation of relieving, but it’s far away to completely satisfy my now so teased anus. Soon, the movement of my fingers becomes more frenetic, nearby obsessive, making my whole body squirm, eager of more strong sensations of intense pleasure. My body burns and I can hear my heart bumping like crazy. I really don’t know how long I can’t resist in this conditions, I feel myself pushed far away from how Colette was able to do in the last days and I perfectly know that there was just another one able to make me felt like this in my life, Horgus!And it’s while I’m thinking at him that two fingers open their way inside me. They are moving, back and forth, exploring my sphincter, and I love this incredible sensation and how it runs all over my body, but it’s not enough. I know it, I want more, I need Votan’s cock to be totally satisfied, anyway, that feeling is strong enough to excite me more, especially now that I close my eyes to better enjoy this double penetration and the insertion of a third finger in my entrance.
“Gosh, Lady….you are even more insatiable than me….” Votan says, forcing his cock again in my throat, using both his hands and pressing his full balls against my chin.
I can hear the squishing sound of my fingers digging deeply in me and the rants of Horgus while his cock penetrates again my throat. At this point, I didn’t know how many time Votan have done it, but at any of them, his rants turns louder and this probably mean he is about to reach the apex of his pleasure. And I like it! I know he will spray a copious load of his cream right down my throat while he will scream his pleasure….and now, I really hope it can happen very soon!
With this idea in mind, my fingers’ activity becomes more intense, if it’s possible. They seem unstoppable, wild….and both I and Votan are enjoying it, even if in a different way. Votan loves to stare at the amazing show I’m offering at him, probably even more than the sensation he got by my first, incredible deep throat! A deep throat which seems nearby to the end, anyway!“I’m about to cum, Lady! AAAHHH! I’m-I’m…….CUMMIIIING!”
Immediately, an incredible amount of delicious cream fills my mouth, even reaching my throat. It’s warm, dense….and yes, I like when my man’s seed fills me completely, and I’m not only talking of my mouth, but this time it’s really too much, even for me. I can’t hold it all in my mouth, it’s suffocating me….some spills out of my nostrils, with extreme satisfaction of Votan, who is devilish smiling at that view. Plus, he didn’t seems willing to free my head from the grip of his hands, forcing me to try to swallow more of his cream, but failing in it. All I can do to attire his attention to what’s happening to me is pat the bed with my palm and emits some rants from my full mouth, but again, it seems like this have the opposite effect on him. He tighten his grip on my head, without setting me free till the last drop of his seed isn’t released down in my throat.
When I’m finally free from his grip, all can I do for a minute is cough and try to catch my breath back, but it isn’t so easy. Votan seed is so dense that some of it is still sliding slowly long my throat, making breath normally difficult for me, plus even my nose is still barely closed by it. Between a cough and another, I look at him with angry eyes. Votan have a satisfied expression on his face and he stares at me and at the cream which is leaking from the corners of my mouth and at the one which it spills out of it anytime I cough. Again, I have to change my mind about him, he is sweet and cute when it’s about cuddles and kisses, but he can be very rough if he wants, when it’s about sex!
I’m about to hit him with my punch, when he suddenly rise his torso and hold me in his arms, kissing me again with an incredible passion. My angriness slowly disappear, leaving the place to happiness and to a strong growing desire of him, of his kisses and his wonderful cock, awakening my sexual instinct as no one have done before. While he kisses me, his hands are exploring my naked body from my neck to my bottom, slowly and greedily, giving me more intense chills that make me feel loved and alive. But not as alive as what is about to happen.Holding me by my shins, Votan lifts my body till the still burning tip of is his cock is pressed against my pulsing rosebud. I immediately understand what he is about to do and it really excite me, till the point I can’t wait any longer to have his incredible shaft right inside me.
“Do it….do it, Votan….I want it so badly!”
At my words, he devilish smirks at me again, teasing me and my now wet rosebud slowly stroking his cock against it. That sensation is torturing me and makes me moan again, with my whole body now totally overwhelmed by lascivious chills continuously growing thanks to Votan’s stimulation. I would like to set me free from his grip and ride that beast right below me, but the sensations Votan is giving me make me greedy for more and at the same time, I like the idea to leave him have the control of our lascivious dance. But at the same time, I can’t stop to beg him to take me here and now.
In answer, Votan continue to tease me with the tip of his cock, making grow more this incredible desire I have of him. Votan kisses my neck, my shoulders….every touch of his lips or tongue is a pleasant torture, but at the same time it become more difficult to resist to the strong excitement I can feel growing inside me and which is now running wild all over my body. My entrance is pulsing faster and it’s getting more wet, but I can’t say if it’s for the reaction of my body of for Votan precum.“Please, Votan, stop teasing me!” I yell, moaning louder “I need it….I beg you….I can’t resist any longer!”
But again, he didn’t listen at my desperate request. And now I’m no more the strong and powerful gladiator who is used to fight in the arena, now Votan is making me feel like a normal girl, defenseless right in front of the man she love. Votan have full control of the situation, something I have experienced with Colette too, but in a different way. Colette usually gain control awakening my instincts, pushing them at the limits my half human nature can face, till the point I became similar to a beast in heat during the reproductive season. Sex with her was wild, without any inhibitions and there is no love between us….it was pure physical attraction, almost carnal, but I’ll tell a lie if I deny it was wonderful! But it’s not what I need now!
On the other side, now with Votan there is passion and a connection which grows little by little till tonight, when we finally were both able to reveal our feelings to each other. Something not easy to do, because Horgus is a strong and heavy presence upon us, but at the same time he is the link between me and Votan, his brother. But now that we admitted our true feelings for each other, I can hope in a new and happy life with him, the same life Horgus was wishing for us after the tournament but the attack at Lord Barton’s ship took away from me.But now I’m here in this room with a wonderful man who is able to let me feel alive and loved as any other normal girls, something I missed more than how I would admit. Votan is strong and gentle, he knows how to cuddle my wounded heart, but at the same time he is able to let me feel small and defenseless in front of him, like a little girl who is about to experience sex for the first time. A sensation even Horgus gave to me, but at that time it really was my first experience….so, why I felt like that even after three years!?
Maybe it’s the way Votan had approached me, coming in to my life a step after another and not so sudden as Horgus, who drastically change it in a day! Day after day, Votan came nearby me, opening a breach in the shell I put between me and the entire world to protect my heart and soul, and without I noticed it, he became a strong presence for me, till today….the day he came close enough to finally open my heart again to love.We stare at each other, speechless, but words are not needed between us. Any touch, any kiss….even in our eyes I can see the strong feelings that link us now to each other! And we both know they will grow more after tonight, after we finally accept and reveal them without hesitation. Of course, Horgus will remain a strong presence upon us, but he will no more be the reason why we can’t be together, from now on he will be our bond, the one who makes us met and become a couple! Or this is what I hope in my heart right now!
Our kisses become more passionately, maybe even a little wild, but I like it and I’m sure Votan is thinking the same, judging by how is body is trembling. Probably, he is waiting this moment even more than me and I wonder from how long! Maybe, even from the first day I arrived at Libidinis or maybe from the day after….but it doesn’t matter, that moment is finally here and we know it will be unforgettable!Slowly, Votan lowers my body and finally, the tip of his shaft can open its way in my wet and too much teased rosebud, which easily accept that marvelous and burning cock Votan have. Little by little, it’s getting deeper in my sphincter and holding some moans become more difficult, especially when the whole tip is right inside me. Its base is probably large as Horgus cock but it’s not the larger section of Votan’s cock. In fact, right behind the tip, it enlarges again till the point I wasn’t able to touch my index finger with my thumb while I hold it in my hand.
Votan is lowering my body more, while his majestic shaft penetrates deeply in me, forcing me to bite my lips to resist to the strong pleasure it is giving me. I placed my hands over Votan’s shoulders, lightly scratching his skin with my nails, but more his cock is penetrating in me, more I instinctively dig my nails in his skin, making it bleed a little. And for all the time, we never had stopped to stare at each other, both enjoying the wonderful sensations that are expressed by any little movement of our lips or eyes, movements we catch immediately and which make us even more excited, if possible.When Votan lays my shins again on the bed, half of his cock is filling my sphincter, but to me it seems more than the half of it. My belly is burning and my entrance is now stretched by that so wanted intruder….I can’t avoid to think at how big it is and wondering if I can take it all inside me, but at the same time, I want it with all my will, quite sure it’s going be the most incredible ride I ever have. Slowly, I begin to move my hips in circle, trying to search the right balance of my body and to get used to that presence which is the cause of pain and pleasure for me. Pain, because it’s bigger than I was expecting, but despite this, it’s giving me some very wonderful chills which are spreading in my whole body, reaching any cells of it and making me even eager than how I was when I saw it for the first time.
Even Votan is enjoying this moment, I can sense it in his hands, which are now holding tight my waist, and from the way he is kissing me, with more passion and leaving me breathless. Then, he started to kiss my neck, slowly moving down it, inch after another, till he reach my tits and his kisses are replaced by soft chews on my pointed and hard nipples or by his fingers pinching them.I can’t tell which was the most pleasant sensation running on my body but for sure, every cell of it is now crossed by many chills which make me arch my back moaning louder, till I’m forced me to lay my hands on the bed to support my body, offering to Votan an easier position to play with my tits and my pointing nipples. His big and strong hand holds and squeezes my left breast, forcing me to bite my lower lip to don’t scream loud my pleasure while he is doing it. But he surely noticed it, and without any hesitation he bites my nipple, pulling it with his teeth and again, I must bite my lower lip, till it bleeds a little and the blood slip down to my chin.
Now I know it, I was totally wrong about Votan! He is an amazing lover and he know how to perfectly mix gentle and sweet touch with strong, and sometimes rough!, actions, giving to his partner some very strong and deep sensations. And he’s doing it to me right now, holding gently my back with his right arm, while he is playing with my breasts a little roughly, while I ride his mighty rod moving my whole body over it in a slow and sinuous dance of lust and passion.But they were so different by the lust and passion I experienced with Colette! With her I had no control of the action, I was totally in her hand, almost abused by her in some way, but what she gave me was like a healing balsam which was able to stop the blood which was leaking out of my wounded heart. She was like a storm, she blows away everything from me, even my reason, probably, and at that time it was what I was in need, even if I never had admitted it to myself. But alt last, it was nothing more than sex, there was no love between us and that wasn’t what I really need to heal my heart and soul. But anytime I was near to Colette, I felt a strange fever running thorough my whole body and I wasn’t able to resist to her incredible charm which attract many men and, as I discovered at the hot spring, girls and women, her real target.
With Votan is different, thanks to his love and passion he had reached my heart and he’s cuddling my body and soul with incredible sweetness, making me feel protected and safe in his arms. And it’s exactly what I am in need in this moment to avoid losing myself in the darkness of my cursed blood, which is pulling me to become a real monster unable to take its instincts under control. Sex with him is mutual passion, we teased each other till the point we can’t hold anymore that incredible and deep sensation which the other made born inside each one.
And now I’m here, riding Votan’s shaft, so big and pulsing inside me, and finally, again, I have a reason to enjoy this life, sometimes so cruel but even wonderful, when you feel the presence of someone who truly love you at your side.His words are true and him and Varon are showing it to me, till the firs moment I enter in this mansion. They threat me as a member of the family, orders to their domestics to do the same, and there wasn’t a single moment from the end of my match in the arena during which they leave me alone, especially Votan. Till the first time we met on Lord Barton’s ship, he was kind and gentle with me and even during the interrogation at the City’s Guard barrack he show me the same attention, trying to let me felt comfortable during all the conversation we had. I wasn’t able to explain to myself why he act like that, till he reveal me about his connection with Horgus, something that surprise me a lot but at the moment, I was too shocked by the assassination of Brutus, my opponent in the arena, the only one who can lead me to the responsible of my pain and suffering, the “noble lion”! I stare at Votan again, without saying a single words and more I look at him, more I can see how he resemble his younger brother, even if probably is more correct to say that Horgus resemble him, being the youngest one.
“Votan….you and your father are helping me so much…..I’ll thank you two for this! Maybe….if it wasn’t for you, I’ll end to be chained in the city’s prison….”
“This will never happen, Lady….” Votan reply, placing his right hand on my shoulder “you are strong and enough intelligent to don’t cause too much trouble and get imprisoned!”
“I’m not sure of this….every day, I have to fight a hard inner battle between my human side and the demoniac one….and take this one under control, is getting difficult day after day!”
Votan look at me and his hand is now gently caressing my cheek. His kind gesture is warm and raises my soul, making my human half taking a little advantage to my demon’s one.
“You are a member of the family and we will help you….I will help you….”
And telling this, Votan place his lips over mine, surprising me and leaving me unable to react to his sudden action. That kiss lasted just few seconds, probably, but it was endless for me and I can’t tell what was going on inside me right in that moment! I mean….I was quiet sure about the fact Votan was interested in me, but I never have imagine till this point! I felt uncomfortable but at the same time that sensation was nostalgic and so welcome, till the point that when Votan’s lips set free mine, I was relieved but a little disappointed at the same time.
“V-Votan….you….” I babble, unable to put a word behind another. The sensation of that kiss is still running on my lips and right now I can’t focus on something else: that was sudden, unexpected….and it gives me again chills of pleasure I can’t avoid!
“I’m sorry Lady….I have no excuses for what I’ve done….maybe I must leave you alone!”
Then, Votan stand up and takes his way to the door, almost ready to leave me alone in Horgus’ room. He is about to open it, when I rush into his direction, letting the towel fall on the floor because of my too fast and sudden movements, leaving my body totally exposed to his sight, if only he will turn to look at me again. I embrace him from behind, pressing my naked body against his back and placing my hands on his chest. Votan’s heart is now pounding faster, maybe more than mine, I can hear it clearly and I can sense the warm of his body passing to mine, letting more chills running all over me. A long and deep silence fills the room: no one of us is moving a single muscle, not a wink or just a tremble….we are freezed in that warm and pleasant embrace, till Votan spoke first.
“Lady, please….don’t let me feel guiltier than how I am right now! After all, you are m….”
“Don’t….” I reply, interrupting him “I have done nothing to stop you….if you are guilty, I am too! Maybe more than how you can imagine….”
Suddenly, my mind is overflowed by the memories of the last eight days and by any single moment I lies with Colette, unable to resist to her charm, which lead me into her arms so easily, to the point I was completely attracted by her just two days after Horgus departure. I don’t know if it was just a way to escape from the reality or if I was really aroused by that mysterious and voluptuous girl, but the fact is I betrayed my love without hesitation and, most important!, so soon! And now I’m here, naked and embracing his brother, in the room which was of Horgus when he was still living with his family and if a part of me is guilty for what happened till now, the other one is too afraid to be left alone again and it’s getting attracted by Votan, a man so similar to my first and only love. More I think at the situation, more I recognize this attraction growing in me. Votan is showing me something different from Colette: with Colette was carnal, pure instinct….a desperate search of something that can make me forget about the pain I was experiencing but at the same time, I’m sure there was something strange in her, something able to surpass any defense I had try to put between us and wasn’t something natural or something I can easily explain or, more simple, I can’t understand. Defense I don’t felt the need to put between me and Votan. Maybe, because he never reveal openly his true feeling for me, forcing me to accept them, but his attentions, his kindness….little by little they open a breach in the suffering around my heart and now they are reaching it. Another thing he has in common with Horgus! Maybe, I’m attracted by him because I can see something of Horgus in Votan, or this is what I was thinking at the begin, but now I’m not so much sure of it. Horgus enter in my life suddenly, leaving me breathless till the first moment we met and he was more direct than his brother, in fact it was love at first sight with him, something didn’t happened with Votan. I met Votan many time from my arrival here and I wasn’t surprise of that, after all, as Captain of the City’s Guards, he probably want to be sure I can’t cause any trouble in Libidinis. And it was during any casualty met that he show me his kind and gentle side and even if I didn’t understand it immediately, slowly his manners makes something change in me, till this moment.
Votan’s hand is still on the handle of the door, but he hesitates to open it, unable to take a decision. For both, it’s clear the fact that something is born between us but Votan is hesitant about taking the first step, probably because he is afraid about the possibility to betray Horgus memory and feeling. And now, his body is barely trembling confused by the mix of sensations he is experiencing, something he can’t easily takes under control. I press myself tighter against his back, making that tremble on his body a little more intense.
“Don’t leave me alone….” I whisper to him, closing my eyes “I’m sure of the fact if you do that, I can’t be anymore the one Horgus loved….”
I know this is not a simple strategy to let him stay. Deep in a corner of my soul, overwhelmed by all the intense pleasure I experienced recently, a part of me is conscious of the fact that the continuous encounters I had with Colette are pushing my whole self to release my primal instincts and more I let them come out, more I’m losing my humanity, unchaining my demons’ nature, till one day I’ll probably end to act as a beast. It takes me time to understand this and I must confess I will be never able to do it by myself, especially right now. What help me to realize this, was reading the letters Horgus sent to his father, Varon, and the words carved in them, where he never describe me as a “beast” or a “monster”, but just as a girl who needs to know what love really is. Something Horgus always did till the end and now, he entrusted my happiness to his beloved family. Votan interrupt the silence between us and his hand left the handle.
“Horgus will love you forever, Lady….no matter what you are!”
“He can’t love the beast I’m risking to become….he was in love with the girl who was able to control it!”
At my words, Votan turn to face me, with a solemn expression on his face.
“You are not a beast, Lady….and you never will be!”
“But I was almost at the point of killing a man! And now….the desire of killing the noble lion is strong in me!”
Votan look at me for a long instant, then after had taken a deep breath, he speak to me.
“Those are feelings everyone can experience. He took Horgus away from you and now, the feeble chance to find him has expired with the death of Brutus….” he takes a short break, then continue “I have your same feeling, Lady, but I’m trying to suppress them to honor Horgus’ memory….and I know you can do the same!”
Again, Votan prove to have deep faith in me, in what Horgus taught to me for the three years he was my trainer and mentor. And I don’t want to disappoint this faith, not now that I have found a new and wonderful family inside the walls of the Almaan’s Mansion. Without any other hesitation, I put my arms around Votan’s neck and kiss him passionately, as I have done just with Horgus. After a first moment of surprise, Votan replies to my kiss with the same passion and put his arms around my waist, gently pushing me against him and soon, that passionate but innocent kiss become a voluptuous dance of our tongues, both seeking greedily for each other. Votan’s hands are warm on my skin and their gentle touch is giving me intense chills that are running wild on my spine, making me greed and impatient: I’d like to be taken right now by Votan but at the same time I truly love the gentle touch of his hands, an incredible contradiction with his strong and a little rude appearance. Slowly but without hesitation, his right hand slip over my bum cheeks, lightly squeezing them time by time, arousing me more and making my blood start to boil of passion. A passion different from the one Horgus make me felt when we were together. In fact, if Horgus was impetuous and a little rough in his action, Votan is showing me the tender side of love, but this doesn’t mean he didn’t know how to excite a woman and push her at her limits. He play with my sensations, stimulating my sensible spots but he always pay attention to don’t go too much further, as he is trying to force me to beg him for it. He kisses me under my chin, on my neck…..again and again, while his middle finger barely reaches my rosebud, just to retreat a moment before it’s over it.
“You are torturing me….” I whisper at Votan, trying to hold a moan. At my words, a malicious smile appears on his face and the tip of his finger finally reach my rosebud and gently begin to rub against it, making me unable to hold my moans any longer, which echoes in the whole room.
“You have a very sensible body, Lady….and sensual too!”
Telling me this, Votan softly bites my right lobe, forcing me to moan again and close my eyes. To think I supposed he have not so much experience with the opposite sex or he is attracted by his same gender, make me smile. Votan is showing me how much he is skilled as lover and soon he find all my weakness spots, stimulating them till the point I can barely resist to him and especially to the gentle but firm touch of his hands. They are playing with my naked body, stimulating it as even Horgus wasn’t able to do, and gifting me with the most intense and pleasant sensations I ever had experience and Votan is conscious of this. His hands are giving me no rest, continuously titling my rosebud and my sensible spots, letting me moan more and louder and arching my whole body began to burn, fired by the intense ecstasy Votan is giving me. My breath is going heaviest at any touch of Votan’s hands and lips and when he finally graze my nipples with his burning lips, my body totally surrender to him and the remaining doubts I got till now, immediately disappear. Not that I was doubtful of Votan’s true feeling, the doubts I had were about me and if I was taking the right decision, giving myself to Votan as I have done just with Horgus. But now, I’m sure about my choice. Votan is not forcing me to make love with him, it’s happening naturally and I know I can entrust him my wounded heart and he will protect and heal it.
When Votan gently chew and pull my nipples, I can’t resist any longer. The desire has grown so much in me and his touch and kisses are no more enough for me: I desire more, I want everything he can give to me and I want it now, immediately! And I’m quite sure he is conscious of this but he is probably waiting for a request from me, a request I make very soon.
“Votan….I can’t wait anymore….I want you so badly!” I babble, while he continues to play with my nipples and teasing more my rosebud.
“I want you too, Lady….from the first time my eyes lies on you!”
Votan kisses me again with overwhelmed passion, then he gently laid me on the bed. Now he is over me and his right hand is fondling my body, moving down along my flank, barely grazing my bum cheek, till it reaches my thigh. His hand is gentle but unstoppable and holding my left knee from behind, he slowly move my leg apart, while he move between my legs, always kissing me with all the passion he have. I can sense the warm of his body overwhelming mine and it’s more intense than the sensation Colette gave me from my arrival in Libidinis. Not that I totally regret what I and Colette have done, after all the time we spent together was pleasant for me too, but she didn’t gave me the same strong emotions I experienced with Horgus first and with Votan now. Plus, there wasn’t love between me and Colette, it was pure physical attraction, but nothing more. Oh, it was wonderful of course, and it helped me to cross over Horgus departure, but now I know that was just an expedient to don’t let my wounded heart bleed continuously.
Now, with Votan, it was totally different. I know him from few days, that’s true, but the fact he is Horgus’ brother makes more easy for me to have full trust in him from the begin, plus his gentle manners have really impressed me, since the first time I seen him on the wrecked bridge of the ship who lead me to Libidinis. Day after day, he came to visit me to be sure I was fine and anytime, he show me not only his resolute side but even his sweet one, especially when we met at the warehouse and him and his father Varon gave me some of the components of Horgus’ armor instead of taking them to their manor as a relic of him.
And now I’m here, in Horgus room, with Votan over me while he is kissing softly but passionately my neck and caressing my body with extreme sweetness, as he want protect me, more than make love with me. But despite his sweet intention, something hard and big is now pressed against my belly and judging by what I can sense thorough the pants he’s wearing, it looks even bigger than Horgus majestic rod, something I found impossible till few moments ago. I’m stunned by that big presence, but more by the intense chills which Votan makes run all over my body with his kisses and caresses: her hands are big and strong, but they know how to be delicate when they touch a feminine body, to do not mention how skilled they are in finding my most sensitive spots and stimulates them very well!My breath is getting heaviest and I must close my eyes to resist at the pleasure which has started to fill any cells of my body. Votan’s kisses are nice and warm, they cuddle my wounded soul giving me some relieved and a new sparkle of love which is now growing in my heart, making my body burning not only of luxury but even of a new and strong passion for a very nice and gentle man. A man who is now pleasantly torturing me with his deep love for me, a torture I really enjoy, especially when he start to play with my nipples, now kissing them, then biting them lightly between his teeth. But the sensation I like the most is when he pinches them with his fingers, sometimes lightly, sometimes hardly, making me moan anytime he do it. Little by little, I had started to understand what he’s about to do, for example anytime, before he pinches hardly my nipples, he likes to rubs them between his thumb and index finger, then he suddenly pinches them, giving me intense pleasure any time.
He really is exciting me and the presence of his mighty rod pressed on my belly is now hammering my mind. I can’t wait to hold it in my hand, massaging it slowly but without giving it any chance to resist to that pleasant and lovely attention. And, of course, this is not the only thing I’d like to do to it. I’d like to wrap it with my lips and suck it till it’s totally dry and then….I want to ride it, till we are both exhausted and I can finally fall asleep in Votan’s arms! And I’m sure he wants the same, I can see it in his eyes right now, in any caress he give to me….and now, I’m quite sure he really can fill the empty space left by Horgus in my heart and soul.When I open my eyes again, Votan is standing on his knees removing his shirt and offering to me a first look at his naked torso. It appears more toned and trained than how it looks and I can’t hold a satisfied and little lustful smile, something Votan didn’t notice, probably. But I can’t avoid admitting how hard and well sculpted is his abdomen. Votan have very massive ribs, more than any other normal gladiators I ever seen, and caressing them with my right hand is really pleasant, it give me a sensation of protection in some way, but at the same time, that view excites me even more.
“You really have an excellent torso, Votan….” I say, with a lascivious expression “but I wonder if you reach the same level down here….”
Votan notice that my eyes are pointed down on his crotch and he appears satisfied by the malicious light I have in my eyes while I stare at it. Then, after a moment, he speaks.
“Did you like surprise, Lady!?
“Only if they are nice….” I reply, without being able to look away at the incredible bulge he have.
“Then, why don’t you find it out by yourself, my dear!?”
Votan didn’t have to ask it to me twice. Impatient and excited, my hands start to fumble with the lace of Votan’s leather pants, dissolving it and letting them slip a little down on his waist. The only thing that supports them now, is that amazing bulge and I must confess I’m very impatient to finally set it free to look at it. I grab and push down Votan’s leather pants and suddenly his mighty rod pop out, straight and hard, right in front of my eyes.
“Hello, little boy!” I say, with a lustful smile and without taking my eyes away from it. Votan’s cock is biggest than Horgus’ one, but despite its dimension I’m not worried about the pain it can gives to me. After all, Colette had trained my sphincter very well in the last days and now I’m curious to discover how pleasant will be to have it inside me. But first of all, I really want to taste the white and creamy nectar which is now hiding in that incredible and inviting rod.
And when Votan lies at my side with his shoulder placed over the pillows, I let his pants slip down his leg, till I can finally able to throw them away. Now we are both naked, looking each other straight in the eyes, both perfectly know what is about to happen between us. Crawling, I slowly advance between his spread legs, without turning my eyes away from his face, till mine is over his majestic rod. With a shameful smirk, I bend over it till I can kiss its burning tip, paying attention to look at his face, trying to catch any single expression he will do. And judging by what I see, he really enjoys the soft touch of my lips, maybe more than how he will ever admit.A New Family
whole day and half is passed from my match in the arena and I’m still here, in Sir Votan's mansion. From the first moment I step in it, I had the impression to be in a familiar place and what Sir Votan reveal to me at the arena explain it perfectly. The atmosphere inside the house is very similar to the one I was able to sense in Horgus dependence at Lord Barton’s estate in the City of Rhoonas, after all Horgus is a member of this family and it’s normal, for me, to be able to perceive the same smells and so similar sensation to the time I visited him at his place. The atmosphere of the place and the gentle attentions of the whole family, had helped me a little but not so much as Sir Votan was expecting, so he went out to support Mardukas and the city’s guards with the research of the assassin of Brutus. And now I’m here, alone, in this room which was the room of my beloved Horgus till he move to Rhoonas to enter at the service of Lord Barton. The whole room is filled of his scent and the furniture placed in it are very similar to the one he have in his place at Rhoonas, giving me the sensation to being back to most beautiful and happy days. I’m lost in my memories when someone knocks at the door.
“Come in Varon….the door is open!” I tell him, recognizing the old man by his scent.
“You really have a good nose, my dear….” Varon says, smiling at me and placing a silver plate on a small table in the room, just before sitting by my side on the bed “and I hope you are hungry….because the lunch looks delicious!”
“Thanks, Varon….but….I’m not hungry now….”
“I can imagine why, Lady….but you must eat something if you want to capture the responsible of the attack at your ship and of the assassination of Brutus….”
“Capture him….Varon, all I want is to have him in my hands and kill him!” I reply, looking straight in the old man’s eyes. And I’m sure he can understand me very well but what he answer me, surprise me.
“It’s not what Horgus expect from you, Lady….and you know it well!”
How he can be so calm!? After all, Horgus was his youngest son and even if they didn’t met so much in the last three years, from what I heard from Horgus the few time he talked to me about his family, they were united. So, how he is able to stay so calm now that we lose the only chance to find out who is the responsible of Horgus death!? I’m about to ask him, when he speak again.
“You know….Horgus was similar to you, when he start his gladiator’s career: impulsive, incline to lose temperature easily….but soon that world and its rules makes him grown as a fighter and, more important, as a man….and I’m proud of him now….a lot!”
Varon takes a break and he turns to look at Horgus portrait on the wall of the bedroom. That portrait really captures the essence of him: proud, strong….and with a deep sense of responsibility and humanity. The same humanity he shows me the first time we met and which was able to reach my heart for the first time, breaking the wall I had rise between me and the whole human race.
“Tell me, Lady….did you think he will approve your desire of vengeance!?”
“Probably no….but I’m not like him, Varon….I’m different and….I’m not a human! Not at all!”
“It’s not what Horgus think of you, dear….he wrote it to me many times, he was so happy to have met a wonderful girl as you!”
“Did….did Horgus wrote about me to you, Varon!?”
“He did….he told me about the difficulties you had to establish relations with the other humans because of your heritage, but he never wrote of you as something different from a normal girl. And if you can’t trust the words of an old man like me, maybe you can put your trust in his letters!”
Telling this, Varon extract some letters from his pocket and hand them to me, with a solemn gesture. It’s clear to me how important are those letters for him and now he is giving them to me to try to rise my spirit. Despite the rude appearance he can have, I can say Varon is a real gentleman and till the first moment I step into its family’s house, he tried everything to cheer me up and in this aspect, Horgus is very similar to him, probably most then how Votan is.
“Read them carefully, Lady….there is the proof of his true feeling for you carved in them and, I’m sure of this!, they will open your eyes on what Horgus really expect by you now!”
Telling this, Varon stand up and move to the door. He is about to close it behind him when I call him back.
“Varon….I must thanks you for all the things you and Votan are doing for me….I appreciated it a lot!”
Varon smile at me and I have the impression to see a new sparkle of hope for me in his eyes.
“Lady….my son really loved you and even if you two weren’t formally married, I consider you as a member of the family….” he takes a break, then continue “and hope you would consider me as a father! You can always come to me when you feel lonely and desperation grip your heart”
A member of the family….I know this is something that will happen after the end of the tournament, when finally I and Horgus can be a free and real family, but now….it was unexpected, especially after the recent events. Unexpectedly but wonderful, in fact Varon words were finally able to reach my soul, opening a small breach of hope and happiness in it, something I really need in this darkest hour. Varon is still there at the door, staring at me as a father worried for her little girl. He showed me once again the warm sensation everyone can experience when a family is near you to support one of its member in time of needs like the one I’m leaving and I really have to thanks him for this. Holding tight Horgus’ letters on my chest, I look at Varon, then speak.
“I’ll take care of this letters, I’m going to protect Horgus feeling as they are mine and….thank you, father!”
Calling him “father” was strange for me, I never had known my biological father and now I have someone in my life I can consider like a real one, even if there is no blood connection between us. I wonder what Varon is thinking right now, after hearing my words, but a smile full of happiness appears on his face.
“I know you will do that….I know it really well, my child!”
And telling this, he come close to me and gives to me an innocent kiss on my forehead, then he move to the door again.
“Try to eat something, Lady….you need to collect your forces to win the tournament and to capture the one behind your sadness!”
“I’ll try….for my own sake and to prevent others tragedies!”
“Well said, Lady….well said!” he answer me just before leaving me alone in Horgus room, now so empty….again! I look again at his portrait at the wall and again, I have the impression to have him right next to me. The talk with Varon has unlighted my heart and his words are forcing me to reflect on my next steps: the tournament, the search for the “noble lion”….I must establish my priority and this is probably the hard task for me, at the moment. If I leave the tournament, Signis and Queen Ophala can break our deal, making me again a propriety of the Free City of Libidinis and I can’t tolerate this, but at the same time, I want to support Sir Votan and he’s guards in the search for Brutus’ assassin, probably our last hope to discover the true identity of the “noble lion”. While I’m pondering at what to do, the delicious smell of the lunch is tickling my nose, till my stomach start to growl: it’s claiming for its satisfaction, after all I didn’t had lunch and dinner yesterday, as I don’t had breakfast today, and now I’m starting to be a little hungry and my stomach is trying to remember it to me! I look at the dishes on the plate Varon toke to me and everything in it looks delicious: the meal, the chicken….and fruits too! More I stare at them, more my appetite grown and with it, the growl of my stomach turns louder.
“Ok ok….time to eat….are you happy now!?” I tell to my stomach, sitting at the table where the plate lies. Talking to my stomach….this make me smile for the first time in the last two days and, at least, the fact I’m now defeated by my stomach is ironic and make me smile again. After tasting a first spoon of meal, I literally devour the whole lunch as I wasn’t touching food for months and at the end, I must admit that everything was really delicious and now I feel a little better. While I’m pondering about my next step, my sight fall on Horgus’ letters: Varon passed them me as they are his precious treasure, and probably they are!, and I promised to him to read them and try to understand the real feeling Horgus had for me and what he expect from me. Impatient and full of curiosity, I read them one after the other, not carrying of the slow but inexorable flow of time. Horgus’ words directed to his father were full of respect but friendly….I have the impression they are closer than any other family I ever seen but I can imagine it by the strong sense of humanity they both showed me. Probably, if nothing happened, we can be able to be a wonderful and happy family, living together under the same roof or not, doesn’t count when the link between all the members of the family is strong and well rooted in the hearts of everyone. But this is not the only aspect of Horgus’ letters that caught my attention. When he wrote about me, he never mention my demon heritage except in the first letter he sent, but when he do it, his words didn’t paint the aspect of a demon but the one of a mystical creature he fell in love with.
One after the other, those letters reach my heart in the same way Horgus was able to do at the begin of our relationship. In any one of them, in the words carved in them, I can find the incredible and marvelous nature of Horgus, the same that was fascinating and inspiring me for three years and has show me, for the first time, the bright side of humanity. A side I have easily forgot from the day I arrived in this city and was forced to bury the only man I ever loved in this foreign land, quiet sure of the fact his family will be never able to come and cry on his tombstone. But I was so wrong….fate lead us to his homeland, to his family….and now I’m here, inside those friendly walls and I’m not the only one suffering for Horgus’ departure. Only….I can’t understand why Votan didn’t reveal to me to be Horgus’ brother that same night! Maybe, he didn’t want to give me the impression he want to take Horgus away from me or maybe because he didn’t have full trust on me….or maybe else! Of course, those are just mine conjectures, I can’t know the truth till I don’t ask it to him directly and, probably, and it’s about time for us to know each other a little more.
It was around 10 p.m. when someone knocks at my door.
“It’s me, Votan….can I come in, Lady!?”
“Of course….the door is not locked!”
The door opens and Sir Votan steps in but immediately stop, turning his face away from me.
“Maybe….maybe I’ll back later to talk with you, Lady!”
“And why!? Please, take a sit….this is your house, after all!” I reply, trying to understand what’s wrong with him and sitting on the bed.
“Ah….well, yes, it is….but maybe you want to put some clothes on, now….”
“Clothes!? What are you….OH MY!” I yell blushing a little and adjusting the towel which is barely covering my naked body “I’m…I’m so sorry….I totally forget where I am now….”
I’m a little embarrassed by the situation but Sir Votan is too! Before he knocks at the door, I was drying my hair with a towel, not paying too much attention at the one wrapped around my naked body, so I didn’t notice it was sliding down revealing my breasts, till the point my nipples were about to be totally exposed. A long moment of silence fills the room while I was adjusting the towel, a silence I break soon.
“Really….I’m sorry for the shameful impression I gave to you, Votan….” I say, looking at him with my face a little flushed “now I’m in a respectable house and no more in a trainee camp….I must pay more attention to what I do!”
“It’s….it’s ok, Lady! You didn’t do it on purpose….”
Sir Votan looks even more nervous than me and a doubt jump into my mind. I heard he is thirty-seven but he’s not married and many of his friends and members of his family wonder why! After all, he is a charming and respectable man, someone any father will be proud to entrust the future of his daughter. In my mind, I’ll start to figure it out: despite the fact he appears like a resolute man, maybe when it comes about interactions with the opposite sex, he is not able as he is with the city’s guards and who know….maybe he is a pure man, after all! Or maybe it can be something else….
“Sorry if I came to visit you so late, Lady….I know you had two very hard days, but when my father told me about the fact you finally step out of this room to have dinner with him, I was really relieved….and….” he takes a deep breath, then continue “and I want to see it with my own eyes!”
“You were worried for me, Votan!?” I ask him, with a gentle smile. A smile I and Votan didn’t expect.
“I was, yes….as my father said to you, we have considered you as a member of our family till the first day you arrived in the city….”
Again….any member of this family, is showing me the most incredible and wonderful side of human race. The first one which do this was Horgus and now, both Votan, his brother, and Varon, his father, are doing the same! And tomorrow, in the afternoon, I’m going to meet the other two members of the Almaan’s family: Kathleen, the only girl in the family after the premature death of her mother, and Ahadron, the other brother of Horgus. From what I heard from Varon, Kathleen and Ahadron are twins and now they are away from the city, both on board on a ship of the fleet under the direct control of the House of Mercator, but with two different roles. In fact, Kathleen is an able merchant at the service of the House of Mercator and soon, she will be married with the son of the second most important merchant in Libidinis, the House of Korial, and this union it’s going to be the base for a commercial partnership between the two Houses, giving them even more influence in the whole city. And Ahadron…..he follow the tradition of his family and enter in the city’s guards when he turns fifteen and now, he is the coordinator and captain of the naval division, which was created by his grandfather to escort the fleet of Libidinis during its journey from harbor to harbor. He’s married seems he was twenty-seven with the daughter of an exponent of the nobles of Libidinis and they had two child. The family of his wife isn’t one of the most important of the whole city, but their union open many doors to the House of Almaan, offering to them the possibility to pass the title of Captain of the City’s Guards more easily, thanks to the support of many nobles’ Houses.
Horgus was the only member of the family which interrupts the family’s tradition. Since he was six, Horgus was attracted by the mysterious and fascinating world of the arena and he spent entire days staring at the gladiators during their trainees. And when the time for him to enter in the city’s guards comes, he refuse to join it but despite what he was expecting, his father, Varon, didn’t force him to change his mind.“I let you follow your dream, Horgus….but you have to promise me you will always honor the name of the Almaan’s family!”
Those were the only words Varon told him that day and Horgus always honored the name of his family, inside and outside the arena, and soon he become one of the strongest gladiators of the League and he won many editions of it. His name become a legend, especially after he won the League for six consecutive years and soon, he was contacted by Lord Barton, to become the responsible of the trainees of his gladiators. And we met after three years he obtained that role, three years he used to makes Lord Barton’s gladiators reach the top of the League of Taranis, even if no one of them was able to won the title. Something he was able to obtain, at last, when I became a gladiator at Lord Barton service.
And now I’m here in his room talking with Horgus’s eldest brother, Votan. And despite the fact him and the others met me for the first time few days ago, they all consider me as a member of their family: me, a complete stranger for everyone except Horgus! I feel happy but uncomfortable for this new situation: too many years have passed from the day I lost my mother and after Horgus death, I lost any hope about to have the chance to experience again what it mean to have a real family near you. But now, Votan and Varon are giving me what Horgus was trying to build for us and the warm of their feelings for him and for me are slowly helping me to fight against the darkness which is grasping my heart and soul.
“Votan….I really appreciate what you and your father are doing for me….it’s more than anyone else ever have done for me!”
Votan looks at me, smiling at my words, then speak.
“My brother Horgus did more than us….he gave you a hope and a reason to live….didn’t him!?”
“You are right….his love was my reason to live! A reason now lost….” I reply, looking down at the floor.
Votan, who was standing in front of me for all the time, sit by my left side and look straight in my eyes. His presence so close to me, makes my heart pound faster and at the begin, I own this to the fact I’m almost naked and he is a man, despite the initial nervousness he show me when he enter in my room. But more I stare at him, more I notice how much he appears similar to Horgus: the same deep and crystalline eyes, same rebellious hair even if shorten….to do not mention his toned and massive body! I can really see many things in common between Votan and Horgus, the definitive proof of the fact that the same blood is running in their veins and probably, this is why Votan’s presence seems so familiar to me and make my heart pound so fast. I don’t know if he notice it but more he is looking in my eyes, more his presence is making me feel uncomfortable, to the point I must turn my eyes away from his face to don’t blush right in front of him.
“I can only imagine how hard it can be for you now, Lady….but there are other people who loves you, never forget it!”
Hello fellow users of AChat forum!
As the oldest members have probably niotice, something happened to my Chronicles!
Today I started to repost it here due to some fix I made here and there, but – ahi ahi! – during lunch break I was able to repost just half of it.
Hopefully, I'll complete the process this evening, probably even adding some few lines of the new chapter.Meanwhile, I wiorked (and completed) a side project of the Chronicles which I'll gonna post here. Plus, I wrote an interlude I'll gonna use in the far future, for Voluume II of the story! Oh my……..
“FOR THE NOBLE LION!!!” Brutus yells, while he extracts a short blade hidden in the protection of his right arm’s guard. And in that moment, something blocked me, as if I heard those words before and they have an important meaning I can’t recognize right now, or this is what I rationally suppose. In fact, my body react immediately, dodging his attack and blocking his arm within my forearm and my up arm, holding it so tight to the point he lose the grip on the blade. I wonder how my body was able to react like that when my mind was still elaborating the situation, maybe it was pure instinct or maybe something else….but why now I have the impression to have forget something important!? And why the words Brutus said are now hammering in my mind as they have an important meaning for me!? I’m so focused on my though to don’t notice the fact that the two judges are now both on the stage, approaching us, probably because they both notice the weapon Brutus was hiding and according with the tournament’s rules, they are about to interrupt the match and disqualifying him. But my attention is completely focused on Brutus words now: more they echoes in my mind, more I’m sure they have something to do with the attack at Lord Barton’s ship but I can’t clearly recognize how. Mentally, I’m reviving that day and it’s so vivid in my mind! More the memories run in my mind, more my body burns for the anger I experienced for not being able to save the life of my beloved Horgus and now, it doesn’t matter how hard I’ll try to calm down, the pain I felt the day I lost everything, makes my blood burn as never happen before and unconsciously I start to grind my teeth as a beast. Then, suddenly as I forgot it, something emerges in my memories, something happened that day when I totally lose control of myself.
It happened after the first wave was defeated by me, many others members of the crew from the enemy’s ship jump on the bridge of Lord Barton’s one, pointing directly to me and surround me, trying to push me into a corner where they hope I can’t have too much free space to move and counter attack them. And they reach their goal at the begin, they forced me to take two steps back but at the third, I grab two of their lances and throw the two soldiers directly on a nearby vortex, making them disappear in it. At this point, it’s clear for them how difficult, to not say impossible, it can be to block completely my movements, so they advance all together as a living wall, trying to finally have me at their mercy. And it was in that moment that I heard those words for the first time: “FOR THE NOBLE LION!!!” were the words they used while their lances are trying to pierce my body but they all were too optimistic about the plan they were running. In fact, for me was easy to jump in the air and land over their line and attack an unprepared bunch of them, just there to support the first line in its attack. One after the other, they fall under my rage….I had no mercy for the ones which toke the life of my lovely Horgus and I didn’t stop till the last of them isn’t at my feet, lifeless.
And now, the man in front of me said the same words just before attacking me. Everything around me disappear, my whole attention is now focused on Brutus and more the memories of that day emerges, more my angriness rise, till it explode and let me go out of control. Brutus’ arm is cracking under my tight grip and the pain for it is well carved on his face but it’s not enough to calm me right now: I free his arm and with a fast movement of mine, I hit him on his chest letting him fly in the air, just to land on the other side of the stage and rolling over it till his body reach the border of the platform. Brutus is clearly able to move but the injuries on his body slow him and it’s easy for me to be soon over him and kicks him out of the arena, making him fall on its the ground. I jump down the stage and I’m moving to him, still not satisfied for the pain I’m giving him, plus there is something I want to know from Brutus. I grab his neck with my left hand and raise him from the ground, grinding my teeth and piercing his flesh with my nails, making blood leaking from his neck.
“You have many things to reveal to me….” I snarl at him, tightening my grip a little more “and I suggest you to talk till you can!”
“I have nothing to say to a beast like you!”
His voice is feeble and tremble, but I don’t care. I tight again my grip on Brutus neck, making more difficult to breath for him.
“Wrong answer….I know you are a member of the same group which attacked our ship! Now tell me….who this noble lion is!?”
“As….I….will….tell you!”
Again….he’s answer just make my anger grow and my grip get tight around his neck. The temptation to kill Brutus right now is strong but the last spark of reason is able to stop me to do it, even if I’m not sure about how long I can take this impulse under control.
“Foolish….I’m offering you a chance to live! Tell me who the noble lion is!”
But this time, Brutus didn’t answer me. A forced smile appears on his face, while it’s devastated by the suffering for the wounds all over his body. I can clearly sense his body weakening under my grip making my demon’s blood boil and I’m starting to enjoy this sensation, more than I expected, a clear sign of the fact that my demon’s heritage is overwhelming my humanity. I feel strong as never happened before and it’s inebriating….now I can do anything, even destroy the whole arena in few minutes if I just let my rage take full control of my body, releasing the part of me I had try to take under control for the last three years. Brutus’ rants are exciting me….it’s a different ecstasy from the one I experienced with Horgus or Colette, but it’s more intense, pleasant….and I like it to the point I’m about to take Brutus’ life with my own hands.
“It’s enough, Lady….set that man free!”
It’s Sir Votan. He came into the ground of the arena to prevent me kill Brutus and he’s now advancing to us with ten of his men. He is two steps forwards the guards and despite the determination he’s trying to show me, I can clearly read the fear in his eyes….fear for the creature he is facing right now, a creature he doesn’t properly know and he’s not sure about how taking it under control.
“Stay away Votan….he must pay for what he did to me!” I snarl at him, without taking my eyes away of my prey.
“Don’t you think this is too much for a simple knife!?” he says, coming a little closer to me.
At his words, I explode in a wild and hysterical laugh, then turn to face him.
“A knife!? Did you think I’m doing this just for it!? No….I’m doing this for what his comrades did to Horgus!”
“To Horgus!?” he replies while his expression change. Now, my words really surprise him to the point he stop and stare at us, trying to understand what really is going on between me and Brutus. Sir Votan is doubtful now, he was too far to hear any words I and Brutus exchange and my sentence caught him unprepared, so he must elaborate a new strategy to save Brutus’ life.
“What did you mean, Milady!? Who is this man!?”
“You really want to know, Votan!? It’s simple….he’s a member of the group which assaulted Lord Barton’s ship on the way for Libidinis….”
My words surprise Sir Votan again, which is now looking at Brutus and his condition. He didn’t received many direct hits during our match but the strong strike I gave to him after he attacked me with the blade had caused serious wounds all over his body, plus now he is not able to breathe easily, with my hand which is now crushing his neck. It takes a couple of minutes before Sir Votan try to talk to me again.
“If he is a member of that group, he can lead us to them! He is more precious alive, Milady!”
“He doesn’t want to speak….” I reply, looking at Brutus then at him “and he’s useless if he didn’t give me the information I’m looking for!”
“Maybe….but I know plenty of methods to let him talk!”
“He didn’t say a word to me….what make you think you can do it!?”
“Trust me, Milady….my men know how to obtain reserved information buy people like him!”
My nails are now stuck deep in his neck, letting more blood leak from the wounds they caused. In a different situation, probably I would listen at Sir Votan but now, my whole body is filled by anger and nothing can make me change my mind. Or this is what I was thinking….
“Milady, if you don’t want to effort your trust to me, then do it to honor Horgus memory….this is not what he teaches to you….isn’t it!?”
For a moment, everything around me stops. Sir Votan’s words hit straight my mind and immediately, I revive the moments I have with Horgus while he was teaching me how a gladiator will act in and outside the arena:
“Never forget to respect the life of your opponent….if you have mercy of him, one day he will do the same!”
Indeed they are nice words to say but today….today everything is different! Indeed, Brutus is my opponent but he is one of the men that caused Horgus’ death too! How I can let him live, now that I have the chance to vengeance Horgus death!? I know I can’t….and I don’t want to do it! I’m about to break Brutus’ neck when Sir Votan hand grab my forearm. I suddenly turn to him, with my face totally transformed by anger and ready to not tolerate any other intromission by him, when he speaks again.
“Milady, I can understand your feeling….they are the same I have right now!”
Bullshit….how he can understand me if we are both two strangers for him!? His words makes my anger grow again, to the point I’m about to explode as it happens during the travel for Libidinis.
“I want to kill this bastard too, but he can be more useful alive! I want to find the one which gave the order to attack your ship….he must pay for what he did!” Sir Votan takes a deep breath, then continues “maybe I had to tell you this before, but….Horgus was my youngest brother!”
Sir Votan is Horgus’ brother!? Is he telling me the truth or it’s just another strategy to save the life of Brutus!? I don’t know if I can trust his words, but for sure I’m stunned by them and now I’m a little doubtful about what I’m doing.
“Listen, Milady….I swear you I’m not telling a lie. Horgus was really my brother. And I can understand if you don’t believe me, but please….save his life and I promise you I’ll make this man reveal all the information he have!”
I’m still doubtful but his words seem sincere and I can see the pain in his eyes while he talks of Horgus. Maybe, he can be just a good liar but something is telling me he isn’t. A fight begin inside me: my human side is trying to gain control back but the demon in me is now too strong to be easily tamed and take a decision is now difficult for me. The silence between me and Sir Votan is long, only submerged by the noise of the crowd which is whistling at my actions, unaware of what is really going on in the arena. It takes me several minutes before I can make a clear decision, minutes that the guards use to surround me but avoiding to come a step closer, waiting for Sir Votan order. I look at them, at Brutus and at last at Sir Votan: he was always gentle with me, till the first time we met and now I know why! I free Brutus from my grip and push him against Sir Votan.
“I leave him to you….but I swear you….when the one behind the massacre on our ship is found, I’ll kill him with my own hands!”
“You are taking the right decision, Milady….” he say, with a relieved expression, then he turn to Mardukas and continue “Bring this man to the prison and take care of his wounds….he have many information to reveal to us!”
“He will be soon in the prison, Captain, you can count on this!” Mardukas reply but he doesn’t have the time to grab Brutus and escort him away of the arena. Suddenly, a dart pierces Brutus’ head trespassing it side by side, instantly killing him. Immediately, I, Sir Votan and Mardukas turns around, trying to understand the direction from which the dart is coming. We all look at the area where the Swabia delegation is, barely sure it came from there but we are surprised to see they are on the opposite side of the hypothetical direction where the assassin must be.
“Mardukas, let the men control the whole arena! There must be an assassin somewhere and we can’t let him escape!”
Sir Votan order is immediate and his men obey him without hesitation. Then, Sir Votan turns again to me, worried by my reaction to the assassination of the only man which can give to us some more detailed information about this mysterious “noble lion”. Whit his surprise, I stand in front of the dead body of Brutus, just staring at him with a strange but happy light in my eyes. I’m hypnotized by the view of his lifeless corpse at my feet and a mix of happiness and desperation is now running in any cells of my body but despite the strong desire to kill him I had till few minutes ago, now I have no idea about how to react to this event or what to do from now on to discover the one behind him. Sir Votan tries to wake me from this state of trance but I can barely hear him and right now I feel like they have killed Horgus for the second time. Sir Votan continue to call my name for several minutes but nothing change: inside me I felt empty, like if someone have ripped my soul away of my body and now, everything around me is simply slipping over me, leaving no trace of its passage.
“Mardukas, I leave the investigations in your capable hand….I’ll take Lady out of here!”
“Captain, what are you thinking to do with her!? She’s too unstable to take her under control by yourself!”
“Don’t worry, my loyal friend….she was my brother’s disciple and future bride, I’m sure I can take care of her at my place”
“At your mansion!? Are you sure of this!?” Mardukas asks, with a perplexed expression.
“Yes….I think some friendly walls can help her more than the one of our prison!”
“I really hope you are right….from the first moment she arrived here, she caused us only trouble!”
“Don’t worry, old friend….I’ll be fine and everything will be settled! Just….don’t let the assassin escape from us!”
“You can count on me and our man, Votan….as always!” Mardukas assure, just a moment before taking the lead of the city’s guards near us and join the others in the patrolling of the arena. They soon disappear in the corridors of the arena, a perfect labyrinth where an assassin can hide and let his trackers lose his traces, till he can finally disappear and become just a shadow.
Meanwhile, under the astonished eyes of all the crowd on the stands of the arena and of the others citizens and travelers which are watching at the tournament trough the magical artifacts, Sir Votan grab me by my right arm and pull me out of the place, where a chaise is waiting us to take me to his family’s mansion.
While we are waiting to be called for our match, the others start to submerge me with questions about my relationship with Horgus and on how he train me for almost three years: which type of exercises he suggest me, how many hours at day we do them and, last but not least, how it was to be her lover. I try to avoid answering at the last one, but some of them are really insistent and the only thing that save me from them, is the fact that some employers of the arena come to call some of us for the first four matches, leading the first of us to the arena to accomplish at our role. The rules of the tournament are simple and easy to remember: any match is one against one and no weapons are allowed during it, plus there is a time limit for each match and it settled to be at last no longer than an hour. There are two judges for any match and have the delicate role to verified that no one break the rules and, the most important, to establish who will be the winner in case of reaching the time limit, judging the performance of the two contestants and who of them has demonstrated to be the most powerful and skilled, claiming our victory or our failure. The first match ends in few minutes and I’m not surprised of it: in fact, one of the two contestants is Serpentina, the female naga I noticed before we were introduced in the arena and presented by Signis to the spectators. Her foe, if it’s how I can call our opponent during the match, was a felinx, but despite the incredible agility they have, he wasn’t able to face her fast tail and the strength of her coils. In fact, he surrender to her while she was strangling him with her tail, leaving him few chance to free himself from its tight grasp, but the rivalry they showed in the arena, immediately disappear once they are back here in the waiting room.
“Damnnn….I was sure to avoid the grasp of your tail, this time!” the felinx says, massaging his neck.
“You improved a lot, Damian, especially your speed….but you must work harder if you want to beat me!”
“Yeah, yeah, sure….ouch! It hurts everywhere!”
“Sorry….maybe I put too much strength in my tail! What about some hale, later, to let me be forgiven!?”
“Sure thing, my friend! See you tonight at The Anvil!?”
“I’ll be there at nine!”
The felinx nod at her before leaving the room and Serpentina sit on her tail not so far from me. She didn’t look tired after her match, after all it wasn’t a difficult challenge, well, not for someone like her, anyway! In fact, due to the fact she had an easy victory, felinx are considered as very difficult opponents in the arena, because they can mix their extreme and useful agility with the strength they gain following the hard trains that waits everyone who want to start the career of a gladiator, no matter the reason why he, or she, want to do it. I must admit the fact she intrigue me, for two reasons: the first, is because I never had met one of her race before, the second is because I’m electrified by the chance to face her during this tournament. And this is why I take the decision to approach her.
“Easy win for you, today!”
“Maybe….but Damian is getting good fast!”
“Damian….is the name of that felinx!?” I ask her, continuing our conversation.
“Yes….never had met him on the battlefield!?” she asks me, surprised.
I shake my head “I never had take part at tournaments outside the league where the City of Rhoonas belongs!”
“That explain a lot….Damian and I are rivals from almost three years.”
“But also good friends, from what I see….” I ask, interrupting her.
“Indeed. We don’t have a Lord to serve, we are both free and we respect each other, till the point we become friends!” she takes a break then continues “Only friends….if it’s what you want to ask me!”
“Understand….” I simply reply to her. Damn, I must admit she’s very good at reading other expressions and I’m sure she’s going to be a hard opponent to beat! Too bad I wasn’t able to look at their match, probably I can learn something about her tactics and style from it, but there is nothing I can do….those are the rules and we all have to follow them. While I’m focusing on my thoughts, her question brings me back to reality.
“I notice you were staring at me, before we were introduced in the arena…..why, if I can ask!?
“Uhmmm….nothing, really! I was surprised to see a naga here, it’s the first time I see one of your race in an arena., even, welll….I know about you, someway!”
“Soooorry!? How it can be!?” she asks, perplexed.
“I met your friend Kyla at the hot springs, few days ago, and we talked a little….I can say she was looking pretty excited, when she was talking of you!”
“That girl….” she says, turning away, a little pissed off “she always speaks too much!”
It’s clear for me why she’s reacting like this: even if Serpentina is trying to hide it, by her expression I can tell there is something more than a simple friendship between them and the funny thing is the fact she is thinking that Kyla reveal it to me, when she didn’t! Pondering at the situation, I can’t hold a loud laugh.
“What’s funny for you!?” she asks me, with her cheeks barely flushing and placing her closed hands or her flanks. I try to stop laughing, but the situation is a little too hilarious and it takes a minute before I can finally answer her.
“Sorry….I think you mistaken my words!”
“Mistaken!?”
“Yes….Kyla was looking very proud of being your friend and of your ability….that’s it!”
“Kyla said what!?” she asks me, with her eyes wide open and a little confused “nothing more than this!?”
I nod at her, trying to hold another smile “But your reaction confirm my suspicious….you two are more than friends….or am I wrong!?”
Now, on my face Serpentina can see a malicious smile, while she’s flushing a little embarrassed but not for my words, no, she’s more for the situation she have create right now. A deep silence is now upon us, while the others contestants are all focused on their preparations for their match and no one is paying attention to our talk, just me and her, now caught in a little embarrassing silence that do not want leave us. Taking a deep breath, I talk first.
“Listen….it wasn’t my intention to put you in a so embarrassing situation….I’m sorry for this! Plus, welllll….I’m not the one that can judge you two, especially now that I’m involved in a similar relationship….if I can call it like that….” I say, scratching my head and lowering my eyes with my heart pounding faster.
I don’t know how she will react now, I know how difficult it could be to talk of such things: admit that I’m deeply caught by Colette isn’t easy, both because she’s a woman and because of my recent loss of Horgus. I’m an expert in sentimental relationship and now I’m the first one to be confused for how I’m acting, despite my heart is still wishing for my beloved Horgus return…..something I rationally know will never happen, not now that his corpse lie six feet under the cold earth of a foreign city. The only thing that relieved me a little, is the fact he’s well-known here and this, probably, will mean there will be someone which is going to take care of his tombstone even if I’ll be away from Libidinis. I raise my eyes and look at her, now visibly relieved by my words and I can see she’s trying to put together some ideas and words, because she has a serious expression on her face.
“It’s not your fault….” she says, taking a little break “I mistaken your words and what Kyla told you….you know, we are a couple from long time, but our relationship wasn’t so easy at the begin….”
I look at her, trying to imagine what she’s trying to say. All I can presume, is the fact that her families, or the one of Kyla anyway, had always try to push the two girls away from each other, because a not hidden relationship between two girls is not well accepted in most of the countries I had visited as Lord Barton’s gladiator. Plus, there is the fact that they are from two different races, something considered a taboo in some countries, till the point I heard stories of girls left in the hands of slaves that use them to satisfy ages of carnal privations, that usual lead to the death of the girls. But thanks Goodness, things look different here in the Free City of Libidinis and I had seen it with my own eyes so, probably, here they are more free to live their relationship than elsewhere.
“Don’t worry, Serpentina….” I tell her with my nicest smile “mistakes happened! The important thing is to clarify them! And let me assure you that I will take your relationship secret, if this is the problem!”
“Well, the reason is not exactly that, but….I appreciated it!” Serpentina answer me with a relieved expression on her face. She’s now taking a deep breath and finally, I can see her whole body relaxing as she has avoided the biggest trouble she never had and now I can clearly say that the problem is not the fact they are lovers or because they are from two different species, but it must be something else, something they will never reveal, probably.
“I’m sorry to had made you worried for nothing, Serpentina….wasn’t my intention from the begin!” I apologize to her, when suddenly I heard the usual same male’s voice calling me for my match.
“Must go now….seems like my turn has come! See you later here!” I say to Serpentina just before leave to follow the arena employer.
“About this….would you like to join me, Kyla and Damian at the tavern The Anvil!?”
“Sure thing, Serpentina! It will be a pleasure! At nine, right!?” I reply, waving my hand while I walk along the corridor that leads to the arena’s field.
IIn the arena, the sun is shining higher and outside it’s more bright than before, with the crowd being really noisy when I and my opponent makes our entry. We take our steps to the platform used as ring and here, one of the two judges introduces us.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the today most waited match is about to begin! On my left, from the Kingdom of Swabia, a man who want to face the fate here, in the arena! BRUTUSSSSS!”
The whole crowd, especially the delegation from the Kingdom of Swabia, is cheering loud the young man. He didn’t have the aspect of the usual gladiator, I mean….yes, he have a massive and probably well trained body, but he’s not so tall, maybe few inches than a normal man and this look strange to me, but this doesn’t mean I can underestimate his strength.
“And on my right, a girl which is a legend in the League of Taranis….her name makes any other gladiators tremble when he or she hear it, but not today….and not here in Libidinis….LADYYYY DRAGONNNN!”
Again….the whole arena is rumbling and I can sense my blood starting to burn: more the crowd turn noisy, more I’m getting excited and this is the moment of being a gladiator I like the most. My opponent and I, take our places in the middle of the ring, waiting for the signal of the judge to begin our match: when he is finally down the platform and have reach his position, we both know that will take few seconds before our dance for victory will begin. And in fact, we don’t have to wait too long for it.
“Ready!? FIGHT!”
At the words of the judge, Brutus immediately jump into my direction, with a fast movement that surprise me, but not so much to don’t be able to easily avoid his first strike. Faster as we can, we both turn to face each other and I must admit that he’s movements are excellent in terms of speed and precision, a clear sign of the fact I’m not in front of a common man. He dash again to me, this time with increased speed and, even if he try to hide it to my sight, I’m sure he want to hit me with his left arm: I’m pondering about how to reply to him when I barely notice a change in his posture, a sign of the change of strategy he’s doing while his directly attacking me. I kneel down and using my right arm as a pivot, I’ll hit his legs with a rotating kick that make him lose balance and fall on the floor, but appealing to his ability, he land on his hands and roll into a position which give him the chance to be ready for a possible counter attack from me. An attack that I hesitate to do, trying to understand what the real ability of my opponent is: his true ability is incredible, I rarely met someone with his agility during other tournaments in the League of Taranis, maybe he is at the same level of Horgus, but I can’t tell it certainly. But for sure, I can tell how well prepared are the fighters coming from the Kingdom of Swabia, something I only heard from Horgus during our trainees: since they are nothing more than child, they begin their trainee, forged to be the excellent warriors in the world and many of them can’t resist to the fatigue, dying before they can even take part at the first tournament, to don’t mention the fact that the Kingdom of Swabia is well known for the cruelty of his army and the gladiators are formed to be used as soldiers too, so I’m not surprised about the abilities Brutus is showing to me right now.
We are now observing each other, try to catch any little movements of our opponent muscles, trying to understand what the next move we are planning is. Maybe this situation was just few seconds long, but for us looks endless: we both know the fact that the first of us who will make his move can have a big chance to hit the other, but at the same time we both know how high is the level of our opponent and this only mean there can be the possibility he can dodge or block our strike and, probably, take a fast and critical counter attack which can establish the end of our match. We are moving in circle and when one of us advance, the other take a step back, without taking a real initiative, like a slow dance. The crowd start to whistle at us, bored by this wait: the match they were waiting all day, must be dynamic, full of surprises, not boring as it is now! But we don’t care about their opinion. We both know how strong our opponent is and, most important, we both know we can’t underestimate each other. This time it’s my turn to take the initiative: with slow but firm steps, I approach Brutus, which stands in front of me without moving, but I can tell his whole body is ready to react, judging by the tension of his muscles. Now, I’m few steps away from him and I can see the determination in his eyes, but at the same time, he is uncertain about my next move. A move I hesitate to make, not because I’m worried by his reaction or not so self confident with my strength, but because I’m waiting in the hope he can get nervous enough to make a wrong step.
And in fact, it happens. Being sure I’ll going to attack him from the right, Brutus move to the left, ignoring the fact I just give him the impression to want to do it, so my sudden and aimed attack to his left flank caught him unprepared, making him fall on the ground and roll for several feet, till he is finally able to take a look at me, but it’s too late. Immediately, I rush into his direction and now I’m almost over him, ready to hit him with another kick. Kick that make him fly in the air, just to land few feet far away, while the whole arena has start to rumble again for the incredible roar coming from the sidelines. Brutus, despite the two strong attacks he received, immediately try to stand up, ready to face my next clash: he didn’t have to wait too long before I’m engaging him in a close exchange of punches and kicks and I must say I’m really impressed about the amount of them he is able to dodge or block, but it’s clear the fact that his body have takes serious damages from my first two attacks. In fact, he is a little unstable on his legs and this is giving me a certain advantage, showing me a possible weak point I can use to grab the victory in my hands. But this doesn’t mean Brutus is giving up. His attacks are well aimed and many of them reach their target, but despite all the strength he is putting in them, my body is too much resistant and well trained to receive high damages by him. I must admit those are the typical situation when I’m glad to have a so particular constitution: my half-demon’s blood surely help me when it’s about to resist to a close combat like the one I and Brutus are having now and this is another weak point for him, in fact more he try to hit me, more he’s attacks are turning weak.
And I know this is the right moment, for me, to write the word “end” to our match. My left punch land straight on his stomach, making him bend down for the pain, while I immediately attack Brutus with an high kick that hit him right on his chin, making him fly high in the air, just to let him fall on the ground a moment later. Now Brutus is at my feet, spilling some drops of blood from his mouth: when he look at me, I don’t see fear in his eyes….well, not only that, to be honest….I can see a strong determination to continue to fight, something a little unusual in others men, I must say. Brutus try to hit my legs with a kick, but his legs are now trembling too visibly to sort some effect, but this is another proof of his determination and I’m truly honored to fight against a man like him, but we both know there can be just a winner. I attack Brutus with a kick on his right flank, making him roll for about three or maybe four feet and despite his condition, Brutus is trying again to stand up and continue the match but he’s movements are slow and he’s arms and legs are trembling visibly, a clear sign of the fact he’s close to his limit. Without hesitation, I place my foot on his chest and push him on the ground, forcing Brutus to lie on his back and blocking his movements. But in Brutus’ eyes, the determination is not decreasing; it still burning and this make him a dangerous opponent.
“Don’t you think it’s time to give up!?” I ask him, with a lascivious smirk on my face “If you continue to resist, you will hurt yourself seriously!”
But Brutus doesn’t answer me. He is visibly in trouble, but I can sense the fire of determination burning in him and now I’m quite sure of the fact he will try something else before he definitely surrender to me. And I wasn’t wrong but what Brutus does, catch me unprepared: he throw to me a small and sharp knife that scratched my left cheek, making some blood leak out of it. Instinctively, I jump back freely him from the pressure of my foot and Brutus, collecting all his remaining strength, stands up and immediately jump over me.
Hearing this words, I’m about to explode in a loud laugh but I hold it, just to don’t risk her and Signis can change their mind about our deal, but to be honest I’d like to joke a little more with her, even if it’s not the case, probably. After placing my goblet on the table too, I help the man to support Queen Ophala, taking her outside on the garden of the Prefect house, a garden that have his privacy thanks to the tall walls that surround it, pushing away some indiscrete eyes.
“I’m sorry, Milord….if I knew about how low resistant her highness has about alcohol, I never had pushed her to drink more!” I tell him, without hiding a little smirk on my lips.
“It’s not your fault, my fair Lady….she usually play the role of the strong girl….she have to do!”
“Why, if I can ask!?”
“For her kingdom and its citizen….” he takes a break, then continues “the war is getting long and it’s straining the whole kingdom….”
“I heard about the war against Swabia….it must be difficult for Lombrady to resist to their continues attacks!”
“It is, in fact….I’ll try to give her all my effort, but the war is not going well for Lombrady….”
“Even hiding her secrets, I suppose….” I ask him, while we help the Queen to sit on a wooden bench in the garden.
“What did you mean, Milady!?” he asks me with a puzzled and worried expression on his face.
“Milord, I know something about law of Lombrady, especially about the throne heir….and I know about “her” true self….” I whisper him, and after a small break I continue “so, I suggest to her, and to you of course, to don’t try to trick me again, in the future….”
He stares at me with his eyes wide open. I can imagine what he’s thinking right now and before he can say anything, I point at my nose with my left index finger. It takes a little before he can reorganize his thoughts and talk to me again.
“Milady, I don’t know what are you talking about, but….let’s presume the Queen have a secret of that type, did you think it’s possible, for you, to keep it secret if I swear you that what happened tonight will be not repeated anymore!?”
Anxiously, he was waiting for my answer: he was trembling, while his hands are holding the ones of his Queen and gently fondling her back to help her to feel a little relieved and the wait is clearly killing him and nervousness is rising in him, to the point he is cold sweating.
“Presuming she have that type of secret….I think I can keep it for me, Milord!” I finally reply, smiling at him.
At my words, he takes a deep relieved breath and thanks me, babbling a little. We cut our talk just a moment before Signis join us, taking a glass of water for the Queen, already visibly dazed by the wine.
“Prince Henrik, I’m so sorry….I didn’t knew about the fact Queen Ophala it’s not used to alcohol!”
“Milord, it’s not your fault….and I’m sure she will feel better soon!” Henrik replies, reassuring Signis about the actual situation, then continues “maybe I have to take her back to our room….it will be helpful!”
“I think Prince Henrik is right, Signis….some rest will help her to recover soon!”
“Indeed….let me call one of my servants to help you, Prince Henrik!”
“It’s no needed, Milord….I can take care of the Queen by myself, really!”
“Well, let me offer you the escort of some of my soldiers….it’s night and the streets are not safe….”
Prince Henrik gladly accept the offer of Signis and after had saying goodbye to all the other customers, he leave the Prefect house, helping Queen Ophala to walk back to the room (or better say house, probably) Signis have reserved for them, during all their stay in Libidinis.
After had giving instruction to his soldiers, Signis came back to the garden, joining me with a full bottle of red wine in his hand. He sit near me and without saying any words, he fill my empty goblet till the board, then he do the same with his one and rise it to me, for another toast. Our goblets clink in the quiet of the night and soon, all the wine in them is gone and same happen for other two times: Signis, which is now showing the first signs of all the alcohol we drunk, is now staring at me with a little surprised expression.
“You surely can hold well alcohol, Lady….I didn’t expect to see a girl drink so much!”
“Oh, my constitution helps me a lot with it….considering me as a normal girl is not correct, Signis….” I reply, taking a last sip.
“I guess so….anyway, thanks for accepting our request.”
“Did I have choice!?” I ask, looking at him disappointed.
Signis didn’t answer me immediately: his eyes are now fixed on his almost empty goblet and I can see a serious expression on his face, like if many thoughts are now running in his mind and he is trying to order them. He takes a deep breath, then turn to me.
“Maybe what we did isn’t correct, Lady….but administrating a city like this and taking care of a festival isn’t an easy thing, considering the fact that this event is always waited by the merchants that live here!”
“Mmmm….and this gives you the right to use subterfuges to gain your goal!?”
“Sometimes it’s needed….” he says, taking another sip “it’s the same of fighting in the arena, just on biggest scale! You can call it strategy, if you prefer….”
He stands up, looking at our empty goblets and then at the bottle, just to find out that even this one is empty now. He is about to call one of his servant to let him bring to us another bottle, but I stop him before he can do it, assuring him I got enough wine and I must leave to move back to the tavern and have some rest, to be able to prepare me properly for the imminent begin of the tournament. But most important, I really need to rest after another incredible and marvelous afternoon with Colette….but this is not something I can tell him, not without risking to put both of us in trouble, even if I have to admit I had seen many incredible things here in this city, things that can’t be seen elsewhere or, anyway, not under the sunlight: probably, this city is more free then how its name can show to people that come here for the first time.
When I step inside the “Silver Horn” it’s around midnight and few customers are still there trying again to seduce Colette. I had seen them coming here every night in the last five days and this prove how appealing she is, but no one of them can imagine the secret she’s hiding and now I share with her, being part of it and there is no day that Colette let pass away without remembering me about it. And I’m sure, more days of intense passion are waiting me….
Two days have passed form my talk with Signis and Queen Ophala and finally the time is arrived: today, the Summer Festival of the free City of Libidinis begin and with it, many events too but the most waited, surely is the wrestling tournament in the arena: here, many men and women coming from the cities or from the allied kingdoms, will prove their strength and abilities in front of nobles and normal citizens, gathered here attracted by one of the most followed event in the whole continent. And now I’m here, waiting for its begin, in a room crowed by warriors of any race and nations, anyone so different from each other but with the same goal in their mind: the victory! Some do it for their Lords, others for them self, to have their freedom back, and then there are the ones that do it just because they are attracted by the money of the prize….everyone here have a reason, no matter where we from or how our lives are running day after day.
Felinx, elves, humans….more I look around and more much different type of contestants I can see in this room. All of them looks well trained and ready to show it to the crowd that fill the arena, but no one of them is even close comparable to me, or this is what I think till I see her, on the opposite corner of the room: a naga! It’s the first time I see one of their specie, they usually don’t leave in this area of the continent but even if I never talked to her before, I know who she is or maybe, it’s more accurate to tell I can imagine who she is: Kyla’s friend! I must say that I was stunned by how Kyla had described her to me, but now that I can see her with my own eyes, she looks even more incredible then how I had imagine her: her long tail, almost three meter long, is covered by scarlet scales and looks like a very powerful weapon in a hand to hand confrontation as this tournament is and despite she doesn’t appear so tall, I’m sure she can easily outclass most of the opponents she will face, if she use her tail as support to rise her body. She looks focused on her thoughts, maybe she’s preparing herself for the match and everyone else is doing it right now, anyone in a different way, but for sure, she’s doing it in one I never had seen before: she’s grasping tight a pendant in her left hand, something very important for her, probably, and I wonder what makes it so important to push her to hold it like that. Maybe it’s a gift from someone she is in love or maybe it’s a memory of her family, I can’t know it for sue, but there is no doubt about how precious it is, I can tell it even from the way she’s looking at it, when I notice it’s open and can barely see a picture painted inside it. I can’t tell who’s on that picture, but her expression let me understand that it’s not a simple man or woman on it, but someone very special for her, someone that probably is her reason of life and probably, the reason why she’s taking part at the tournament.
“It’s time! Get ready for the arena!”
A male voice caught my attention. Finally, the moment to be introduced and claimed by the crowd that is filling the arena has come: slowly, any contestant stand up and take his steps to the stone corridor that link this room to the field where everyone of us is impatient to show how powerful we are to the spectators that are waiting us. While we walk in the corridor, I can hear the screams of the crowd getting louder, till they explode in a thunderous ovation when we finally came out of it and the first of us step on the sand of the arena’s field and at anyone of us that enter in it, the screams get louder, till I make my entry: the arena is rumbling and the excitement of the spectators fill the whole arena. My eyes need few moments to get used to the bright of the outside and I must say that I’m pleasant surprises by what I see. Probably, this arena is half the size of the one of Rhoonas (ones of the biggest, with the two in the Capital of Swabia’s Kingdom) but it’s full to the point that spectators are pressed to each other so much that their number is overwhelming the maximal capacity of the arena. Plus, as it’s not enough, I heard that many others are outside the place watching at the event via special magical instruments that permit to transfer the images in front of them on some special equipment placed outside the arena and in other areas of the city, like the main square or the taverns.
When Prefect Signis stand up and start to talk, the whole arena turns quiet and in any corner of it, people can hear his voice.
“Citizen of the Free City of Libidinis….and all of you that made a long travel from all around the continent to be here at the annual Summer Festival….let me thank you all for being here!”
The sound of a multitude of clapping hands feel the area, while Signis look around the arena with a satisfied smile, then continue.
“Please….my dear friends, save your admiration and cheers for the contestants! We have lot of interesting fighters this year, coming from the entire continent but today, I’m very proud to announce you we have a special guest!”
The crowd is now murmuring, impatient to know who this guest is and all the eyes are now looking carefully at us, one after the other, trying to examine any one of us to discover witch of us is the one Signis is talking about.
“It’s her….her!” some very excited voices claim, after few moments, then Signis takes back the words.
“Exactly! I’m proud to announce you all the presence of Lady Dragon, coming directly from the City of Rhoonas! She’s here to fight in the name of her Lord, Sir Barton, that perishes during the travel to reach Libidinis!”
Signis takes a short break, just to look around another time, then he speaks again.
“We offer her hospitality and she gently accept to take part at the tournament in name of her Lord and….” he is now looking at me. “I gently accept, uh!?”, I think to myself, remembering my talk with him and Queen Ophala two days ago, when he continues. “and to honor the name of the man she loves, Horgus the Titan!”
Ovations of joy rise immediately from the crowd, as they heard the name of a hero and I’m really surprised by this reaction. Horgus the Titan….it’s the first time I heard my beloved Horgus being named like this and I wonder why Signis do it so sudden, but maybe I’m starting to understand it and soon, my suspect have a confirmation, directly from Signis mouth.
“Someone of you, probably remember him! Till six years ago, Horgus the Titan was a well-known name in any arena of the continent and as you probably know, no one has ever defeated him, till he retired from competitions and become an excellent trainer! And today, here at Libidinis, we have his last disciple, Lady Dragon!”
The crowd goes loud then before. All the eyes are now pointed on me, even the others contestants are looking at me, surprised by Signis’ words but probably, right now I’m the most surprised one. I had always suspected about that Horgus was a fighter in the past, but never had imagine he was so well know and popular and this explain very well why Lord Barton was taking his opinion in so high consideration. I’m stunned by this revelation, but at the same time, I wonder if there are any other things about Horgus he didn’t told to me, but at the same time I’ll understand why he knows so well about Libidinis tournament, because probably, or better say I’m quite sure of it, he had take part at it in one of the past edition, or maybe to more than one!
“Please…please my friends….there will be time to celebrate our champions….” Signis says, trying to calm a little the now too much excited spectators of the arena, then he turns to us, looking straightly at everyone of the contestants and smiling he speak to us.
“Here, today, you all are the strongest fighters of the whole continent and I’m sure you are ready to show us your power and abilities….I wish this contest can run in name of the respect that every one of you has for each other and of the rules you all know! Let the Goddess of Victory smile at the strongest of you and grant him, or her, the victory! May the contest begin!”
The whole arena is rumbling louder than before and probably, the same happens in any other place where citizens of Libidinis and travelers are now watching at the ceremony for the begin of the tournament. I’m sure that Signis is quiet satisfied by the reaction of the spectators and in his mind he has started to ponder about the profits the city, but most important him, will gain by the event, now that he enlight the soul of anyone of them with the memories of Horgus, a man that everyone consider a hero of the arena. While an employer is leading us back to the room where we were waiting for the begin of the ceremony, I take a last look at the stage where Signis is: there, I can easily recognize Queen Ophala and her beloved Prince Henrik, both with a satisfied expression on their faces. Then, I notice another man I had seen before near them, a man that usually came to visit Lord Barton at his estate before any match I had at the arena of Rhoonas. He’s Markus, the Prefect of Rhoonas, and he’s probably here to enjoy the tournament and to establish a more solid partnership with the City of Libidinis, something he was expecting from Lord Barton, being him the biggest merchant of Rhoonas and considering he had business in several sectors. But now, with his premature departure, the City of Rhoonas has lost its charismatic figure and knowing that, Markus has take the decision to move his steps personally, avoiding to use any mediocre intermediary that can ruin a delicate negotiations with Libidinis. In fact, Lord Barton was well-known in Rhoonas for being an excellent merchant with many interests and often the Prefect asked him to solve lot of delicate affairs that made the city prosper fast and become a crucial point for business and this, of course, made the name of the Barton’s Family grown in fame and respectability in any city and country that have commercial interaction with the City of Rhoonas. Now, I wonder what type of business Markus have in mind, but I’m sure they are very important if he is here personally, anyway, it’s not like I care of them too much, all I hope is he’s not trying to involve me in them, obtaining my property from Signis.
Lady Dragon – part 2
The Tournament
ays are running fast and now I’m here in this city from about five of them. Not that I regret the time I’m spending here, especially after what happened at the hot springs with Colette, but even if living in this city is a new and very nice experience, I can’t get out of my head the sensation about how wrong is the way I’m acting, like I’m dishonoring Horgus memory: in fact, after that day at the hot springs, Colette has become like a drug for me….a pleasant drug to be honest, and I can’t resist too long without her touch and kisses. I had try very hard to resist to the incredible attraction I feel for her, but always fail: I know, I can sense it, now she’s in touch with the lusty part of me and she’s using it to have full control on me, till the point I’m just a puppet in her hands. And deep inside me, I like it….I like the fact she’s able to take the pain for the loss of Horgus far from my heart but at the same time, I know it’s wrong….so damn wrong!
This is what I always repeat to myself when we are together, like now: in the afternoon, the employers room of the hot springs, has become our alcove, a place where no one come and disturb us during our “massaging sessions”, if it’s how I can call the incredible and exciting hours we spent there together. And anytime, no matter how hard I try, she always wins against my awareness, she know how to lock it in a corner and let the libido take the lead of myself and she always do that, like she have a special key for it or maybe….some special abilities!And it’s exactly what is going on right now. I never felt so breathless and my body so heavy as today, I’m stunned by how much far she can push me, making me to surpass my limits more and more, but I’m more stunned by the fact she do it naturally, without any apparently fatigue, something so natural as it’s breathing for everyone else.
“Please….stop now….” I babble, without sorting any effect “you know I have business to do soon!”
“They can wait….this is what you really need….” she reply, pushing all her hand up my fully stretched ass.
That sensation makes me scream and its intensity makes me arch my back while I’ll grab the silky sheets with all my strength. The way she dominates me, drive me crazy any time and she makes me reach several orgasms at day and a new one, I’m sure, is about to arrive, as an unstoppable wall of water that is about to land on an unstable ship during a sea storm, sinking it. And I’m that ship, unable to resist to the fury of the nature….or better say, in this case, of a single girl: Colette is pure passion, any cell of her body is filled by it and it takes no long to her to seduce a person near her, no matter if it’s a girl or a man, her presence attract everyone to her, as honey attract bears or bees. And she know this very well, in fact she always use this unnatural ability for her advantage: I heard many rumors about her, here at the hot springs, and each one of them involve Colette with a different girl or woman that usually is a customer of this place. I can suppose this is a sort of hunting field for her, a field she know very well and she used to visit every day to discover a new and tasty prey for her pleasure. And now it’s my turn to fulfill her desire….or maybe I must say, it’s my turn to be her victim! Yes, I’m a victim….a victim of her endless lust, lust which is now running all over my body, wild and unstoppable, while she deeply push her hand back and forth in my rectum….again and again, making my intense pleasure rising and grow till the point it turn into pure ecstasy which explode in an incredible and wild orgasm, leaving me exhausted, again! But even this fourth orgasm she gave me don’t makes her stop: as it happens during our first time, I can sense her hand reaching my stomach, devastating it with its thrust and she continue till she can see a little sparkle of energy in my body.
When I finally wake up, I’m alone in the room. I look around and I can see no traces of Colette, just my towel she threw over one of the furniture when we enter here and two of the employers that are changing to left the hot springs. I can hear them giggling while looking at my naked body and murmuring between them about something, I’m too disoriented to understand what they are talking about, but I’m sure it’s about me and Colette, judging by the fact they discretely turn to look at me time by time. At this point, I can presume everyone from the staff , or anyway the female part of it, know about me and Colette and what we are doing in this room for hours and the situation make me blush visibly, while I try to cover myself with the silk sheets.
“Girls, can you tell me the time, please!?” I ask them, when I’m finally able to put words one after the other.
“Few minutes and the hot springs will be close….”
“Good Lord, I’m in late!” I yell, taking the towel and running to the door, opening it “please, can you give me the time to use the bath!? I just need three minutes or less!”
“Of course, Milady….Miss Colette gave us directives about it, take your time!”
Thanks to my unstable and trembling legs, running to the bath area wasn’t easy and when I reach it, the employers had started to clean all around it, but they didn’t put out any problem when I ask them to use it for a little, proof that Colette had give some directives to everyone here, to be sure I can go to my meeting cleaned and refreshed…..welllll, cleaned for sure, I have to say, but refreshed….it’s a bit hard, looking at my condition, but I cannot go to meet the Prefect of Libidinis, after he asked me to visit him at his house. I wonder why he want to meet me now and not when I arrived in the town, but I can presume it have something to do with the imminent begin of the Summer Festival and of the tournament which is running during it, tournament that have no more meaning for me and this is why, three days ago, I’ve told to Sir Votan I don’t want to take part at it. But something tell me that the Prefect don’t want to lose a potential attraction for visitors or pilgrims, not after all the posters he sent to neighbor kingdoms, claiming I’ll going to take part in the show. And in fact….
When finally I arrive at the Prefect house, placed in the north-east corner of the main square, the sun had started to fall on to the horizon and the streets of the city, usually crowed by people, are empty and the street lamps has started to be turned on, a clear sign of how late it is. After had taken a deep breath, I knock at the main door of the house but no one answer me and I’m about to knock again when the door creaks, starting to open.
“What can I do for you, Milady!?” a man’s voice asks me, while he comes out of the shadow. He must be around sixty or more, judging by his grizzled hair, but despite his not so more younger appearance, I must say he have an imposing presence, but not because he have a trained body or something similar, it’s more for an aura that is surrounding him. But he’s far from impressing me….
“I’m Lady Dragon, and I was invited by the Prefect for a talk”
“Oh, yes, we were waiting you, Milady….” the man replies, opening completely the door “please, come in!”
He leads me inside the house, long a not so lighted corridor, till we reach a little room, then he turn to me.
“Milady, can you wait here for a moment, please!?”
“Of course….” I reply, just before he disappears behind a door on the opposite side of the room. It takes few minutes before he come back, inviting me to follow him in the nearest room. Here, I can see different people sited around a small table, sipping some red wine and chatting between them, just to interrupt their chat and turn to me when I enter the room.
“Milord, Lady Dragon is here”
Then, he turns to me and pointing at a chair near the big couch where most of the people in the room are sitting, he continues.
“Please, Milady, take a sit!”
Saying this, the old man grab the chair and place it right in front of the couch, adjusting it while I’m sitting down on it, adjusting my dress with my hands, to don’t risk to sense it uncomfortable while I’m talking with the Prefect and the other people. Discreetly, I look at the three in front of me: the Prefect, on my right, it’s a man which look to be around fifty, or maybe a little less, and looks like a resolute man who know how to take advantage of any situation to gain for him more power and control on the people around him, thanks to the important role his family, the House of Mercator, got in making the city grew. And on my left, a young man is sitting on a chair nearby the couch, where a youngest girl is sitting, crossing her legs and holding the man’s hand. This mean they are in some type or relationship and judging by the admiration I can see in the eyes of the man, I can clearly say they are a couple but I can’t say if they are married or not. The only thing I’m sure is about they are not ordinary citizen or nobles, it’s clear by the jewelry she’s wearing and by their clothes that they are exponent of some highest rank, maybe from some monarchy, but there is a thing I’m sure about: despite her feminine appearance, the long black hair and the scent of the perfume she’s using, my nose can’t be tricked so easily….
The voice of the Prefect interrupts me, bringing me back to reality.
“I’m very thankful for accepting my invite, Lady….” he says, with his voice calm and quiet.
“My pleasure, Milord….I hope you will forgive me for being in late.” I answer him, with the same tone.
“Oh, it’s not a problem….as you can see, I’m very busy here, tonight! And please, call me Signis!”
“Very well….Signis. I can imagine how busy you are….I suppose your guests are all here for the festival” I say looking around me, then looking back at the mysterious girl on my left.
“You are right, my dear….but not at all! They are all here for the tournament!”
The tournament….I completely forget about it, or better say I don’t care about it after what happened during and after my travel to come here in Libidinis. But for the city and, most important, for the Prefect, this is an event that can bring many money in their coffers and now I have no more doubts about the reason why I’m here tonight, but I want to listen at Signis words before doing my move. But the first one who talks isn’t him, it’s the mysterious girl.
“Your name has reached even my realm, the Kingdom of Lombrady, and now I’m very impatient to admire you in the arena, Lady!”
The Kingdom of Lombrady, she say….it’s far from here and I never had visited it, but I heard about it and about the beautiful Queen that rule it from about five years, Ophala, and I must say I’m surprised to see her here in front of me because I heard the conflict against the Kingdom of Swabia is getting worst recently and the armies of Lombrady are not strong enough to resist to the continuous assault from once of Swabia. Bud probably, those voices are false, or it’s what I can say judging by the calm Queen Ophala is showing me right now. False as her identity….no matter how much she take care of her hair and makeup, or if she wear so much provocative dress (the slit of the dress completely reveal her long and slim legs), she can’t hide the scent of her masculine body to me, it’s clearly different from the one of a woman and my nose is too sensitive to don’t recognize it. I stare at “her” for a little, trying to imagine the reason of this deception and the only one I can find is about how the Kingdom of Lombrady was ruled for centuries, namely by its Queens: probably, and this is just my supposition, the last Queen didn’t had a daughter and Ophala, or whatever her real name is, was educated as a girl….Good lord!
“There is something wrong!?” she directly asks me, noticing I’m looking at her.
“No, your highness….I was just wondering why a beautiful Lady as you is interested in a tournament like this!” I reply, telling a lie to her.
“Well, it’s very simple, to be honest….this kind of tournaments are perfect to discover some impressive talent and an opponent like you, is perfect to evaluate them.” she takes a break to sip some wine from her goblet, then continue “and this lead us to the reason why we ask to our dear Signis to invite you here, Lady!”
So, there are them behind this invite….and probably, many other delegations of the other Kingdoms had makes the same request to Signis and, of course, he can’t refuse to accomplish their request or the good name of his House can be partially ruined by it. And in fact, Signis takes the word.
“Lady, we called you here to ask you to take part at the tournament, but not as a gladiator of Lord Barton….”
I look at him perplexed: not as gladiator of Lord Barton!? I can’t join the tournament as his gladiator, not now that he is dead during the assault at his ship! I’m pretty sure they are planning something to let me join the event, without giving me any chance to refuse but not in my worsteds nightmare, I can suppose what they are going to tell me. Signis, without carrying by my strange look at him, continue.
“You can be an independent contestant, Lady….but you can’t at the moment! Despite the fact your Lord is dead, you officially are still a slave and everyone can claim to buy your life, but we want to offer you the chance to gain your freedom….”
I’ll suddenly stand up, interrupting him, and making the chair slam on the floor.
“A slave!? And who is my Lord now!?” I yell, furious “I had lost everything I had coming in this city and now you are telling me I’m still a slave!?”
“Indeed, my dear….you are property of Libidinis, now….and this mean I can dispose of your life, as Prefect of this city!” he reply, calm and not worried by my reaction.
“See, my dear Lady, a slave is always a slave, no matter if her Lord die, they are all registered…. but we have the power to give you your freedom and it will be noticed to every kingdom of the alliance….” Queen Ophala say, standing up and coming close to me and watching me straight in my eyes. Then, she move to the table behind me, placing her bum on its border and looking at a parchment that lies over it “with my and Signis signature on this parchment, you will be a free citizen….and if you accept to join the tournament, we are ready to sign it right now!”
“But now it’s up to you, Lady….are you going to accept our offer!?” Signis ask me, joining Queen Ophala.
As usual….people which have the power in their hands, always try to gain the highest benefits for them, no matter if this mean using some subterfuges and if they have to abuse of people that are not able to protect them self and even if I can easily escape from them, the only effect I can obtain is to be hunted for my whole life by head hunters and mercenaries in search of glory and money. I’d like to jump against them and give them a lesson they hardly forget too soon but I know I’m not in the position to do it, especially if I don’t want to make Libidinis and Lombrady my eternal enemies.
“What happen, if I accept your “gentle” request!?” I ask, grinning, my teeth.
“It’s simple….you will be the main attraction of the fighting tournament, you just need to sign the tournament subscription module and after you have done it, we are going to sign the document that prove the fact you are a free citizen from today!” Signis grab a feather and merge it in the ink bowl, then he hand it to me “We have a deal, dear Lady!?”
I stare at the feather and then at him and Queen Ophala, really tempted to run away from this place but taking my hanger under control, I move close to them.
“I think it’s a reasonable deal….I accept it with grrrratitude!” I answer, looking at them with fire in my eyes and taking the feather from Signis hand “where I have to sign the module!?”
With a satisfied smile on his face, Signis show me where I have to sign it, exhorting me to do it immediately. And I do it, without hesitation and after me they both have to do the same with my document, finally putting an end to this story. When I’m done, Signis take the module and examine it closely, to be sure my sign is well recognizable, then he pass it to Queen Ophala that makes the same thing and I can tell they looks really complacent by having that simple piece of paper in their hands, especially Signis because now, the reputation of the House of Mercator is safe. And finally, it’s their turn to accomplish at their part of our deal and they immediately do that, both signing the document that give me my freedom back, finally! When they are done with the document, Signis move back to the small table where we were till few minutes ago and takes two empty goblets and the bottle of wine, handing one of them to him, the he begin to fulfill Ophala’s one, mine and, at last, his one, till we all have our goblets full of red and delicious wine.
“Let’s celebrate this event with a toast, my dear Ladies….” he say, rising his goblet right in front of his face, then he turn to me “to the tournament and our champion! Cheer!”
“Cheer!!” I and Queen Ophala answer him, as one, then we all take a long sip of wine. It taste delicious, for sure more than the wine I’m usually used, and it’s strongest than any other one I ever tasted before: looking at Signis and then at Ophala, I can clearly tell how not used she is to wine, because her face is visibly flushing and I have the impression she’s a little unstable on her legs. I smirk at that view, it’s a sort of little revenge for me….a sweet and delicious one! I take another sip of wine, exhorting them to do the same, noticing the fact she’s doing it with hesitation, proof of what I was supposing is right.
“Too strong for your highness!?” I ask her, with a devilish smile.
“Of course it isn’t, my dear….” she reply, then she take a long sip, till her goblet is empty. Her face turn more red but she plays the role of the strong girl, trying to resist to the effect of that nectar.
“The most delicious wine I ever taste, Signis….really….”
But she didn’t have the time to finish her talk, that her legs tremble visibly, forcing her to use a nearest chair as support. Immediately, the man which was at her side on the couch, run to her and hold Ophala in his arms, visibly worried.
“My beloved, you know the effect wine have on you….you are not used to it!” he say, fondling her back and taking away the goblet from her hand and placing it on the table.
Interlude 1: Howls in The Night
t’s an ancestral story and it’s well-known in many realms even if no one really know how it’s started but lycans’ story have crossed all the continent for centuries and the most important is the one about the first hunt to extinguish their race. It was organized under the supervision of the four most important and powerful kingdom of the continent where the lycans has caused the most trouble for over two hundred years. Was organized an entire army, formed by the most expert and strongest soldiers coming from each kingdom and it was leaded in to the battle by a General that soon was known for the ferocious attitude his men have, giving no mercy to the lycans, no matter if they were adults or just children: at the end of the first big hunt, the storytellers narrate that under the leadership of the General, over seventy percent of the lycans were exterminated, even their leader. But the five commanders of the lycans survived to the extermination and they formed five clan to protect the survivors and reorganize them under their control and thanks to the magical properties of the fragments of a mysterious artifact in their possession, the clans were able to prosper for several decades.
But their prosperity didn’t last forever. With the passing years, between the clans were born frictions caused by different point of view of the new leaders and from the increasing diffidence that there was now between them. Soon, internal conflicts began and there were years of internal fight between the clans, with the only purpose to collect all the five pieces in the hands of just one of the commanders, in a last try to reunite all the lycans again in only one and more powerful group. But these battles did not pass unobserved to the eyes of humans that want to take advantage of the situation to complete what their ancestors weren’t able to do, leading the continent to the second lycans’ hunt. But even this time, the lycans survive to the extermination the humans were planning and even the third great hunt, ten years later, was a failure for the humans, but not for the Kingdom of Swabia (the last one that join the alliance against the lycans) that takes advantage by the absence of many soldiers to expand its domain, subjugating several small realms.
After the third great hunt and four hundred years, lycans are still living around the continent but the five clans weren’t able to reunion them all under the flag of just one leader, making them continue their intestine fight for gain the full control on the entire race.
Nowadays, outside the Libidinis borders
It’s already midnight when the group can finally see the mountains chain which has always guaranteed protection to the Free City of Libidinis, saving it from the expansionist ambitions of the neighboring Kingdom. Their journey was long and perilous but the information that their spies have obtained must be verified soon as possible because they are vital for the future of the clan, the smallest of the five lycans’ clan and this make them an easy target for the other four. But despite the low number of its member, the clan can count on the most skilled elements of the whole lycans race, hard trained since they are nothing less than children and this explain why they were able to defeat the other clans so many time during the intestinal fight that is running from centuries between them.
Soon, three shadows can be spotted climbing along the headland where the group is stationed. Immediately, the men put their hands on the hilt of their swords, taking positions just in case the shadows are enemies and to prevent they can be caught before their mission can begin: the three shadows are approaching, with fast walk, and now they are at half of the slope that lead to the top of the headland.
“Put your hands off from the swords!” a voice thunder them, without any hesitation.
All the men follow his order, without waiting any other explanation, and move aside to let him advance in to the direction of the mysterious shadows, now so close to the point that all the men are now certain about the fact they are their comrades. The three men knees in front of the one which was now waiting them impatiently and remove the capes that covers their faces.
“Welcome to Libidinis, Master….”
“You are late” he thunder again.
“We are sorry….but as regular citizen of Libidinis, we have to be cautious when we leave it, or our undercover identity can be lost!”
“Mmmm….I think you are right. So, the information are certain!?”
“Looks like they are, Master….the object almost fit the description we have.”
“Almost!?” the Master asks with an upset expression on his face.
At his words, the three men begin to cold sweat and tremble, knowing perfectly how cruel the Master can be when someone disappoint him, but seems like this time he is calm and just waiting for their explanation. The oldest of them, takes the first step and replies to the even more impatient Master.
“I-I’m sorry, Master, but….” he babbles, swallowing nervously “ we were able to see it just for a moment and didn’t have the chance to examine it….”
“But the runes carved on it are the one our ancestors use….” another one of them continue, then immediately is silent, waiting for their Master reaction.
A reaction that arrived very soon. He stares at them, moving his eyes from one to another but without letting any emotion appear on his face, then speak
“It’s more than what we found in the last century….you have done a good job, after all” he says, staring at the city that lies behind the mountains right in front of him “now, lead us inside the city!”
The three men look at each other, then back at him, uncertain about how answering him.
“Master, I must apologies, but we can’t go back till it’s dawn or the guards will suspect something!”
He takes a break, staring at his Master, desperately hoping he will be not upset by his words: slowly, he raise his eyes, till he can see his face and his burning eyes pointed on him, while the right hand of the Master is grazing the hilt of the sword that lies along his flank, extracting half of it. He swallow twice, quiet sure the Master is going to extract his sword and point it at his throat, when one of the men who reached the city following him, interrupt them.
“Master, we can’t risk to let them lose their undercover identity….I think we have to do as they suggest.”
The Master looks at that man and after an endless minute, he let his sword slide back in to the sheath.
“As usual you are right, Hivraah….I must try to be more patient or the mission can turn in to a total fail!”
Telling this, he sits on a nearest rock and points his eyes to the sky, looking for the moon. He explore the sky in silent, staring at each star, stars he know very well, because since he was a child, he was attracted by them and by the moon, that pale lady that watches over everyone of her children which show to truly worship her. Then, he sees her, shining in all her beauty.
“Milady….soon we will be with you again….” he says, staring at her. He stay like this for almost two hours, contemplating the moon as a knight can do with the most beautiful princess of the whole heart, literally taken by her till Hivraah come to call him.
“Master, the time has come!”
Without telling any words, the Master stand up and reach his men already regrouped and just waiting his orders to move: the three men from Libidinis are in front of him on his left, the others on his right and just Hivraah is at his side, the clear sign that he is the Master’s right arm. He looks at them all, knowing perfectly they are the best men of the clan and they are all well trained and ready to accomplish at this important mission. He looks down the headland and how his men from Libidinis has predicted, a small caravan is moving in the direction of the city: he smirk, perfectly knowing the fact that those humans going to be an easy prey for them, especially with the help of the artifact he is jealously protecting in his bag. He take the artifact in his hand and rise it high in the sky, placing it between the moon and the group on his right: soon, their bodies start to change, their skin is now covered by black fur and their hands and feet begin to change, till they are replaced by claws. Even their faces change, slowly: their noses are getting longer, more similar to the one of a wolf and soon fangs replaced their teeth and pointed and furry ears grown on their heads, till the transformation is finally complete.
“Go, my brothers….for our Goddess!”
The group, fast and unstoppable, starts to run down the headland and soon they are at few feet from the caravan. They were surprised by the lycans attack and weren’t ready to reply at their fury: half of them fall under the lycans’ claw in a row, no matter if they are men, women or children, they all fall one after the other and even if they try to escape, they are not fast enough to avoid to be reached and killed. The only thing the lycans care, at the moment, is to not leave signs of blood on the wagons, to be sure no one in the city will notice them, when they are going to use them to enter in it. And in fact, they reach their objective: the whole assault last twenty or maybe twenty-five minutes and the extermination was easy and complete, without any visible sign of the fight on the wagons and, most important, without any survivor, as they had planned.
The Master, Hivraah and the remaining three men, were watching at the whole scene and only when it’s finally ended they join their companion, now waiting them near a pile of dead corpses. The smell of fresh meat and blood, fill their nostrils till the point they can barely resist to that incredible and unexpected banquet, but no one of them try to touch one of the corpses without the permission of their Master. Permission that comes soon: the Master turns himself and the other four in to their monstrous form and soon they all begin a macabre banquet to propitiate the success of their mission.
Meanwhile, at the external gate of the City of Libidinis, the guards are looking at the horizon, to prevent any enemies’ incursion during the night. It’s all quiet, to the point one of them is about to fall asleep, when howls suddenly wake him.
“Wolf….and they are not so far….” one of the guards, says.
“Yes…..yaaawnnnn….after all, it’s going to be full moon, soon….”
“You are right. Perfect time for them to hunt….” he replies, barely smirking in the shadow….
Colette leads me in the area of the massage’s chambers, till we reach a door with a sign over it. I look at it and I notice the writes that say “Employers only” and I can see her opening it with a key linked to a small bracelet she’s wearing on her left wrist. Judging by what I can see, the room is twice or so the one I have at the tavern and right in the middle of it there is the biggest round bed I ever seen before and it’s covered by red silky sheets, with some pillow made with the same silk all over it. Around the bed, there are many closets probably used by the employers to storage their personal things while they are working at the hot springs, but what really surprise me is the absence of windows in the room: on the wall to the right of the door, I can see a wooden grid that let fresh air enter into the room and right in front of it, there is a door that lead to the entrance of the building, judging by the conformation of the place.
While I’m looking around, Colette close the door behind us, leaving the key in the lock, probably to be sure no one will come inside to disturb us during our “play”: she sit on the bed, crossing her legs, and again, with her finger, she invite me to join her on it. And she don’t have to wait too long before I sit near her, as I don’t have to wait to have her tongue again in my mouth and her right hand on my tits, gently playing with them and with my erect nipples. Colette lay me down over the sheets, without giving to my tongue the chance to rest a little: I can feel how eager she is while her right hand slip down long my belly till it reach my left thigh….her light touch is sensual and different from the one of Horgus, but it’s not less intense then the one he gave me so many time during our wild and steamy nights. Her hand is moving more down till it reach my knee and indulge on it, while her left hand is still holding my nape to don’t let me escape from our endless and deep kiss: holding my knee, she spread my legs and push her right thigh between them, rising it till it strokes against my balls and on my bum cheeks. I want to scream my pleasure but her lips are glued on mine forcing me to be quiet but without being able to stop the shivers that runs all over my body or my hands, now lightly scratching her back and moving all over it, from shoulders to her bum cheeks. I experienced this before, but this time is different: Colette pay more attention in finding my sensible spots and her gentle touch on them is more effective on me than the one of Horgus….my neck, for example….Colette’s tongue is now licking it, slowly, down from my chin and for all its length and back, finally making me able to express my pleasure with my moans. And even the sensation of my cock pressed between our bellies is different: her soft body literally wraps it and the slow movement of her body on mine, increase the intensity of the pleasure I feel, like if she’s stroking it with her full body. Instinctively, I grab her cheeks and squeeze them, maybe putting too much strength in it: she screams, in a mix of pain and pleasure and I find it so irresistible that I squeeze them again, with more strength then before. Colette scream again, looking at me, but I don’t see angriness in her eyes, all I see is pure and wild passions that is running in her vein and in mine too, now.
“What a bad girl you are, Lady….”
“Ahhnnn….sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you….” I apologize trying to catch my breath back and staring at her malicious smile.
“Oh, but you didn’t hurt me….” she replies, squeezing hard my nipple “you are a bad girl because you are like me, addicted to pleasure!”
Addicted to pleasure as her….maybe she’s right, right now I’m not simply attracted by her but by the incredible pleasure she’s giving me and, I’m sure, she’s far to have done with me! She help me to stand on my knees, then she placed a pillow right in front of me, leaving me perplexed about what she’s planning in that crazy mind she have.
“Now, lay with your belly over it, Lady….” she says, moving by my side and staring at me as I do as she said.
“Like this!?” I ask her a little embarrassed, after noticing my bottom raised up and perfectly exposed to her eyes. I try to lift my chest a little, but Colette pushes me down over the sheets.
“It’s perfect like this….now don’t move!”
Saying this, she move behind me and soon her hands are on my bottom again, fondling it slowly and gently but it takes not so long before I can sense them slipping down long my thigh. Sometimes she barely graze my skin with the tip of her fingers and that light touch give me the strongest shiver I ever feel, to the point I must bite my lower lip to don’t moan again and again. Her hands move expertly along my inner thighs, up from my knees to my fully exposed bottom: their movement is slow but unstoppable and Colette knows the right spots where she has to focus with her fingers to raise my pleasure and let me lose control. I turn my mace to look at her, while her hands are filled by my bum cheeks and her fingers, so gentle till a moment ago, are now sharpen as claws, chaws that are scratching my skin, trying to find their way for my secret entrance: it takes no long to her thumbs to reach the border of my secret door, I can sense them titling it and deluding myself that they are going to open their way into this entrance right now. I see it in her eyes, she enjoy teasing me and probably I can enjoy it too but inside me, the frustration that the wait is causing me is strongest than the pleasure this wait can give: Colette is cruel and exciting at the same time, she’s really able at understanding other girls desires’ and weaknesses, she know how to use them for her advantage and I can say she never makes problem to herself in using them. And she’s doing this to me right now….
From my position, I just can see her eyes popping up from over my bum. They are deeply looking into mine and I’m sure that a skilled and intuitive girl as Colette is, have understand the fact that she had pushed me at my limit and I’m at the point that I’m ready to beg her to give me the extreme pleasure I’m waiting so much. But she continue to tease me: her thumbs, so close to my pulsing rosebud, are still stroking slowly all around it and I’m about to lose hope to feel them exploring my intimacy, when suddenly she press them more and stretched my anus, placing the tip of her tongue in it. Its small but determined movements make me squirm and moan loud….so loud as I never have done before and when her tongue open more her way inside me, I moan again and again, filling the room with my voice and, probably, even outside it someone can hear me right now! Her tongue moves sinuous and tireless, like a snake looking for prey and Colette have found one of them in me: I have the sensation that her tongue has reached my stomach and it’s mixing it and making me feel upside down and even if I want to scream loud my pleasure, all I can do is panting hardly and drooling all over the sheets, now completely soaked by my saliva. I can feel my legs stiff and my muscles strained by the spasm that fulfill my whole body and leave me at Colette’s mercy and the slow but continues penetration of her tongue, is inexorably leading me to one of the most intense and violent orgasm I ever had and no matter how hard I try to resist to it, I can clearly feel it rising inside me, completely out of my control.
I’m quite sure I can’t sense a deeper and incredible ecstasy then now, but Colette proves me that I’m wrong again. Without any hesitation and, more important, without giving me a moment to rest, she push two fingers inside my stretched and greedy rosebud, paying attention to don’t slow the movements of her tongue: she push them inside in one go, operation that is made easy by all the lubrication’s work that her tongue have done for several minutes, and they start to explore my canal, rhythmically, perfectly synchronized with her tongue. My whole body is now burning, enslaved to Colette’s skills and luxury that is now running into me too, making me desire for more and intense pleasure, something that even Horgus was able to let me feel in the three years we were together. Horgus….the pain that was gripping my heart till few hours ago, looks so far now and my mind is so overwhelmed by all the sensation that are running into my body and even if I know this is not what my heart want, I can’t stop now, my body and mind are now addicted to this, too much and too early, maybe, but it makes me feel alive again! Almost lost in this incredible lust, I close my eyes and immediately, I can see the satisfied expression on Colette face while she continue to rape me: exactly, I feel raped by that skilled girl that appear so young to be so expert in pleasing a woman. Not that she's more youngest then me, after all I’m just twenty-four, but it's unbelievable for me to think at how many experience with other girls she had before to become expert like this….or maybe it's not only thanks to her skill that she's an amazing lover!
“The hell are you thinking, Lady!?” I ask to myself in a short moment of lucidity. But that moment immediately disappear, overwhelmed by an infinite amount of sensations that are pushing me more than over my limits and Colette can read how I feel from any little movement of my body, in my heavy breath and in any other little thing regarding me. As a perfect luxury machine, she knows that this is the right time to make me surrender to the infinite pleasure she's giving me: with a majestic movement of her fingers, she spread more my torn rosebud and push another finger inside it and increasing the thrust of them and of her tongue. My body squirms visibly but not a single moan spill out of my mouth, it's like if the whole attention of body is focused on my anus and can't properly provide to any other actions except the one to let this infinite penetration I’m experiencing. And her fingers are now giving the same sensation of her tongue: it seems like they are now very deep in me, I can feel my belly being battered by them but I know this is just an impression my body is giving to my mind, reacting to something new and too intense for me. But I like it….I like the sensation to be possessed….it's something you can't imagine if you never had try it before and it's what Colette is doing right now and in a so easily that I’m astonished and my mind is now completely blank, like an empty page of a book no one had ever write. And my body is almost ready to surrender too: my cock is so big and swollen that I’m surprised by the fact that I can still hold a vast spray of my seed all over the silky sheets….I wonder how I’m able to resist despite the extreme ecstasy that is pervading my whole self from different minute!
And it happens again. I’m barely sure I can hold the pleasure a little longer, but I’m wrong: at last, a liberating moan spit out of my wide open and drooling mouth, filling the room again but this time it's louder and wild, like the one of an animal. And at the same time, my cock is finally free to release its white and sticky nectar that land all over my belly and on the pillow behind him, soaking it completely: it looks endlessly, as if I never had reach an orgasm in my entire life and that make me hope that the rape she's doing to me is finally over, but I’m wrong again. Her thrust turns faster and rougher, to the point a second and a third spray of seed arrive, wild and uncontrollable, and till the last drop didn't spit out of my cock, Colette didn't stop her thrust, but finally, at last, her fingers and tongue are giving me the chance to take a breath: I must admit that I’m surprised when she push them out of my devastated ass, but at the same time I’m disappointed, deep inside me I hope she will continue more with that pleasant torture. Not that I’m not relieved buy this break but I feel like as all she have done to me till now wasn't enough, even if I’m clearly exhausted and unable to move a single muscle of my body. I’m trying to catch my breath back, when Colette turn me on my back, placing herself right over my chest: her sweaty skin makes her appear even more attractive and sensual than how she usually is (something very hard to believe, to be honest!) and only when the slow movements of her arms catches my attention I notice her drooling and opened pussy. It’s an hypnotizing view and it’s so damn wet that Colette’s love juice is dripping all over my breasts: its smell seems sweet and pungent, it’s so different from the smell of my or Horgus seed, it’s more similar to a delicious fragrance that fulfill my nostrils making my mind a little confused.
“Now it’s your turn to pleased me, Lady….”
Her voice is sensual and soft and it’s similar to a celestial music in my ears. I’m exhausted and powerless, she drain everything out of me but no matter how I try, I’m not able to tell her I need to rest and more her swollen pussy is getting near my face, more resist to her appeal is difficult. And now, at last, her wet pussy is right over my mouth and some drops or her juice is landing on my lips and I can’t avoid to luxuriously lick them.
“This will be a long and hot afternoon….” are the words she says to me, again with a pretty and malicious smile on her face, just before she push her pussy against my mouth. And I know she’s absolutely right….
With a new sparkle of life in my heart, I leave the blacksmith to his work and after have said bye to Sir Votan, I look at myself: in the last two days, I didn’t take care of my body or have done some trainee to let my muscles stay tonic, so what’s better then a bath to relax!? In the market, in the morning, I heard about hot springs in the north-west area of it and even if I never had visited them before, I know those places are perfect for relaxing after a hard day and I can say I really have hard days recently! Finding the place isn’t difficult, everyone know it in the city and there is no one that not speak well of it and of the services they provide to their customers, services very well accepted by men and even by women that visit the place regularly. And now that I’m in front of the hot springs, I can say I’m curious to find out the type of services they offer, because I noticed some young women giggling happily when I ask them to explain me about them, but all I have as answer was “They worth the wait….”.
When I finally step into the small hall, a delicious fragrance fills my nostrils. It’s fresh and relaxing, different from the scent of the primulae soavious but it’s pleasant enough to calm me a little more and to give me some interior peace. I must admit it….I really enjoy this sensation now, more than I ever done before! The voice of a young girl, suddenly catch my attention back.
“Welcome to Libidinis’ hot springs, Milady! Which services we can provide to you, today!?” she asks, with a pretty smile.
I look at her, while I try to figure out about those services….again! I have no idea of what she’s talking about and honestly, I’m not sure of my answer. And she notices it.
“First time here for you, Milady!?”
“Welllll…..yes, I’m just arrived in this city….” I answer, scratching my head a little nervously “and I’m not so practice of all the places around it!”
“I understand….maybe, one of our employer can let you have a tour and help you to choose” she replies, ringing a small bell placed on the counter. Immediately, a black long hair girl pops into the room from a side door, wearing just a thin light blue vest, too short to cover her long and toned legs and barely showing the bottom of her perfect round bum and too transparent to don’t let me notice she’s no wearing any undies under it: I can barely see her dark pink nipples pressed on the vest, that wraps them perfectly, and more important, the small and well cured black bush just over her young pussy. Judging from what I see, she must be younger than me, maybe just eighteen or slightly more, but she surely looks very pretty and sensual plus, she give me a strange sensation, similar to the one Colette’s was giving me this morning, but it’s not that strong.
“Iris is one of our best employers and she will guide you inside the hot springs, Milady!”
Iris, with a gracious smile, invites me to follow her inside the hot springs and lead me to the women’s changing room. Here, again, I can see females of many races undressing together and having a friendly chat as I never had seen before: I must admit it, more I visit Libidinis, more I’m surprised to see how interracial this city is….and I’m sure that I will have more surprises in the next days! With all my stuffs locked in a closet and my body wrapped in a soft and fragrant towel, I follow Iris till we reach the end of the corridor. Here, two different doors lead in to different area of the building: the one in front of me, lead to the internal bath area, directly connected to the outside natural pool of hot water, while the one on the left lead to a series of chambers where it’s possible to receive a relaxing massage and some “extra” services. From how Iris said the word “extra”, now I can understand what she mean and why all the girls who told me to visit the hot springs were excited by the idea of coming back here soon as possible, but I’m not interested in them….or this is what I’m thinking right now. When I finally step in the bath, I’m stunned by how big it is and by how many girls of any age are here: some are helping each other washing their back, other seems to be here alone and it takes short time to begin to chat and be friendly with the one near them. I look around at the whole room, trying to find an empty place where I can finally clean my body from blood and sweat, hoping it will help me to feel a little better. It takes a little, but at last I notice a little area on the opposite side of the room: the sound of my claws on the stone floor attracts the attention of many of the other customers and I can sense their eyes glued on me, especially on my claws and horns. Strangely, no one of them looks scared by my presence, probably because they are used to non humans being, I think they are more surprised by my appearance, so different from all the other creatures I had seen all day around the city and now, I’m starting to get used to their presence as I always lived here.
When I finally reach the free spot, I can’t avoid to stare at the girl near me: her skin seems really white and smooth, like some precious silk, and I can tell she take care of it a lot, because I can’t see traces of wounds or scratches, something strange for a young girl like her. And same can be said for her long dark blonde hair, which perfectly framed her face, making her looks very sensual despite her young age. The bracelet she’s wearing on her left arm, catch my attention: a bracelet that apparently is made by fine decorated gold and with two or maybe three rubies embedded in it: it looks definitely expensive, something that can be bought just by a noble and this probably mean she’s the daughter of some rich family or something similar. The fact she’s here in a public place and not in her family estate looks strange to me, but maybe she’s here for the same reason of all the other girls, the services that the employers provides, to enjoy them away from indiscrete eyes. I’m pondering about this when she turn and our eyes meet: despite her young looking face, her dark blue eyes are the ones of a girl who had experienced some difficult and painful situation, maybe something similar to what I’m experiencing right now, and I have the impression they are able to go deep in myself and expose my inner true feeling very easily. It takes a minute or so before I recognize she’s staring at me too, but she don’t seems scared….I can’t tell what is it, but it give me a strange feeling.
“Sorry, Milady….I don’t want to disturb you….” I apologize to her.
She looks at me a little longer, then answers.
“Don’t need to apologize….it happen so often that the other girls are surprised to find me here!” she say, smiling at me “and I’m not a Lady….I’m just an ordinary girl so, please….don’t be so formal.”
“With pleasure!” I reply smiling back at her “Can I ask you your name!?”
“Of course….it’s Kyla”
“Nice to meet you, Kyla! I don’t have a name, but most known me as Lady Dragon….just Lady, for friends!”
“Then, I hope I can call you just Lady!” she says, with a pretty smile on her face.
I smile back at her “Of course!”
We talk a lot while we were both washing our self and we start to know each other better. She told me she’s here to assist at the tournament, because a very special person for her is going to participate in it and she want to cheers her during the matches. And then, I told her about the travel that had lead me to the City of Libidinis, how I lost the man I loved and my impression to this new amazing city and we both agree about the fact that it’s different from any other city we ever visited before. Talking with her is pleasant and we are so caught by our conversation to the point we didn’t notice to be the only two girls in the bath area and the thing makes us laugh. Soon even Kyla leave the bath to go to the external pool and now I’m really alone in this big room but I don’t care because the silence of the room offer me the chance to think about some plan for the future while the sensation of the cold water that slips down on my skin helps me to have some restoration.
I’m lost in my thoughts with my eyes closed, when suddenly gentle hands graze my shoulders.
“Kyla, is it you!?” I ask, without opening my eyes.
“No, Milady….I’m not this Kyla….”
That voice….I recognize it immediately: Colette! I’m surprised and a little shocked to find her here and I wonder what’s going to happen from now on.
“I didn’t expect to find you here, Colette….”
“I can say the same, Milady….” she replies smiling, then continue “I’m a co-owner here and I come every day to relax before customers come to the tavern to have dinner.”
Now I understand why I got a sensation so similar to the one Colette has gave to me in the morning when Iris was leading me inside this place. Colette’s hands are now moving down from my shoulders to my breasts and that sensation is pervading my whole body again: it’s more intense then how it was in the morning, probably because I’m still under the effect of the flower Xenia gave to me and even because now I’m more relaxed then how I was in the morning. I’m starting to feel a little dizzy while her hands gently touch my breasts, massaging them with some surprising expert movements, plus now her breasts are pressed against my back, making my face flush a little. Despite their full and firm appearance, her breasts are soft but not as her lips: she’s now kissing my neck with slow but sensual movement, slipping along it till they reach my right shoulder, just to move back after indulging on it for few seconds. I want to try to free myself from that pleasant and warm hug but I can’t: I’m too caught by her now and the pleasure that is now running in my body is becoming too strong to resist it, especially now that she’s playing with my nipples, pinching and pulling them between her expert fingers, giving me the proof about the suspect I had in the morning….she really is interested in women and not in men! I wonder if her husband knows about this….
“Co-Colette….please, stop it! I can’t do that!” I babble, trying to hold a moan.
“It’s not what your body want, Milady!”
I don’t want to admit it, but she’s so right! Even if my mind is telling me to run away, my body don’t react as I want, it’s like if I have lose the control of it and I’m not able to regain it from Colette. And I can tell she really enjoy to play with my tits, even if they can’t be compared with hers, especially she adore to squeeze them so energetically that I can’t continue too long to resist and hold my moans and I’m sure she noticed it: she lightly bite my right lobe and squeeze my tits so tight that I moan loudly, probably catching the attention of some women in the outside pool, or this is what I think. But no one is coming to see what’s going on in the bath….probably, these types of things happen often in this place and usual customers didn’t pay attention to them….or something similar, I suppose….
“Your moan was so delicious, Milady….hope you will do it more for me….” Colette says, with a malicious smile on her face.
I feel like if Colette is abusing of me, but I like it….I like the fact she’s making me feel alive again after two long days darkest then hell and I must say that I’m starting to enjoy this new situation.
“I will moan for you all the time you want, Colette….and stop calling me Milady….Lady is enough!” I reply her, turning my head to face her. And without any hesitation, she place her lips on mine in a sweet and warm kiss: it lasted no long before her tongue try to open its way in my mouth, seeking for mine that reply immediately, starting a voluptuous dance together that make me feel even more alive. Of course, Colette didn’t forget about taking care of my body: her hands are still playing with my tits but soon her right hand start to slips down to my belly, slowly but unstoppable, giving me shivers that runs wild on my spine and making my body burn. And not only….for the first time, I can feel my cock reacting instinctively to the gentle and sensual touch of Colette’s hand on my body: it grow and get hard so fast, I’m surprised by this, and Colette is too, when her hand reach and grab it, making me moan again. Her hand is barely moving stroking my cock, probably more for curiosity than because she really want it.
“Wow….it’s the first time I hold one in my hand….” she say, a little puzzled “it’s…..strange!”
Her words confirm my suspects, at last. With my breath getting heavy time after time, I stare at her for a moment, and then ask.
“So, you really are….”
“A lesbian!?” she say, interrupting me “Yes, I prefer young and beautiful girls to men….is it a problem for you!?”
I shake my head, unable to speak for the intense pleasure she’s giving to me. If this is the first time for her to hold a cock, I have to say that it’s the first time for me too: not even Horgus had never taken my cock in his hand, he always treat me as a normal girl, and even I have never feel the desire to take it in my own hand and stroke it. I’m ashamed to admit it, but I think I have to do it someway.
“I must confess you….it’s my first time with a girl….” I take a little break to breath, then continue “..and I’m sorry for not telling you before about my body….”
Colette is staring at me directly in the eyes, with a strange expression that I can’t interpret, no matter how hard and long I try do it. Her eyes make me feel nervous for how deep they are looking inside me and the fact that she’s not saying a single word, increase this feeling to the point I can’t avoid to swallow during the wait, with my eyes glued on her fleshy lips.
“From the first moment you entered in the tavern, I had felt you was special, in some way….and now I know why….” she say, just before kissing me again with more intense passion, while her hands are still playing with my tits and my hard cock. But it takes no long to her right hand to slip down from my cock to my balls, till her fingers are over my pulsing rosebud, just to tease me touching it gently.
“You weren’t lying….” she whispers me, when our lips are finally away.
“I never have done it….” I reply, enjoying that sensation she’s giving me with the tip of her finger, when suddenly she stops. I look at her, disappointed by her action and she needs no words to understand that I want more of that from her. She bite my lobe again and squeeze my tits, while his finger open its way inside my rosebud exploring it with all its length, making me moan even louder than before. And with her finger taken by its exploration and my left nipple pressed tightly between her thumb and the index finger, she whisper me few words:
“I know the perfect place where I can teach you as two girls can love each other….”
I simply nod at her, trying to take my body under control and don’t let this ecstasy make me fall for Colette. When she finally set my body free from the grip of her skilled hands, I try to take a deep restoring breath but it last just a second: moving her slender fingers and with a malicious and intriguing smile on the face, she makes me sign to follow her. And I do it, without any hesitation: now it’s clear to myself that I’m not just fall in love with her, it’s something different from what I felt when I was near Horgus, it’s a strongest and more intense sensation and I feel like if I’m hypnotized by Colette, but I can’t explain how she was able to do it! Not that I care to find it out at the moment: all I want now, is to enjoy once more the incredible sensations she was giving me and nothing more, sensations that were able to make me forget about all the pain that had filled my heart for the last two days.
First thing I have to do, is to look for a tailor or for some clothes’ shop. I can see the people around me staring at me for my appearance: my horns and claws can’t be hide to their eyesight and it’s clear some of them are frightening by me and I can understand their reaction, it’s the first time I went in Libidinis and they are not used to my presence, something that happened in the past in most of the city I had take part as some tournaments, so I’m used to it. On the other hand, I’m surprised by what I see at the market: here, there are many different races side by side with others, something not so usual to find out in the others cities I visited. For example, elves….it’s rare to see them walking along a human’s builded city, because they are usually so diffident of them, even if recently some human’s settlements had started to interact with them for their manufacturing realized using leather, really appreciated as light or medium defense clothes by archers. There are lot of them here, some selling their goodies and others walking through the stands, fascinated by the products of other races. Looking at them, I’m not surprised by the fact they are considered the most attractive race of the whole continent: tall, with slim but toned body and long hairs, to don’t mention their skin that seems like silk….now I understand why they are so wanted in some kingdom, especially as personal servants or sex slaves!
Two of them caught my attention but most than for their beauty, for their equipment, so similar to the one of the elves I’d seen before in the country I was living when I was a child. One of them has shoulder armory made from the finest of red dragon skin, with polished claws, that shine in the glint of the sun ad I can tell she’s topless and her breasts seems full and firm, covered teasingly by the strategically placed shoulder pad overhang that hardly cover her nipples sometimes, attracting many men attention on them. Her forearm and shin are covered by red protectors made by the same material of the pad and around her waist a white linen knotted skirt, which shows the full length of her left leg, from the ankle to her shapely hip and waist. The second one is dressed very similar to the other. They wear the same colored cloak and the same white knotted linen skirt, showing the full length of her left shapely leg and both of them are bare feet. Over the cloak, she wears a warm, brown shoulder cover, made from the finest of bird feathers. It is expertly woven for warmth and protection and , from this, hangs a matching breast cover, hiding their fullness from view except for the tantalizing side and underside glimpses that occur when she moves a certain way. Also, she wears leather slatted shin guards and wrist jewelry and, on her left thigh, a bangle which curls round her upper leg muscle like a snake’s tail. Apparently, they looks different, the first one with long silky blue hair that trails down her back to her mid thigh in an elegant plait while the other with long, silver hair, that drapes over her pointed elfin ears and also down her back to her bottom, but their scent is very similar, too much to be just a coincidence and that’s why I’m sure there is a deep bond between them, I can tell they are sisters, probably….two beautiful and very attractive sisters, I can say! And judging from what I can see, I’m not the only one that thinks it….But as I said, elves are not the only race here in Libidinis. All around the market, I can see any sort of creatures: centaurs, felinx, dwarfs….and many others! Some of them are just visiting the city for the summer festival that will start soon, but others live here and run their activities in the city or in the country beneath its borders. It’s impressive how they are now integrated in the life of a city founded by humans and more than this, I’m surprised by the perfect harmony I can see between all of them despite all the difference that usually tend to let all those races live far from each others. I can’t thing about my past, at the village where I was born and grown for the first ages of my life: probably, if I was born in Libidinis, my life was very different from the one I lived and probably I never met Horgus….Horgus, that had opened a hole in my heart, now just filled by pain.
“A flower, Milady!?” a voice ask me, bringing me back to reality. I turn to look at my interlocutor and what I see, surprise me: in front of me, there is a young elf girl with a bouquet of flowers in her arms and she’s now handing one of them to me. The scent of that flower fill my nostrils and immediately my mind is relaxing, pushing away all the bad thoughts from it and giving me a deep sense of peace as I don’t felt it in the last three days.
“What flower is this!?” I ask, looking at her: she looks different from any other elves I ever seen around, in fact her dress is obviously manufactured by humans. Despite her long light brown hair that cover her shoulders and her pointed ears barely popping out of them, the creamy and grey sleeveless jacket she’s wearing and the leather string just below her breasts, are not something an elf is used to wear, plus the dorsum of her gloves have some metallic protectors pinned on them and even the left shoulder protector is made in a similar way. Dark brown leather miniskirt and boots complete her outfit, giving her the appearance of an adventurer, thanks to the leather bag tied around her left thigh, a bag where her personal stuff are stocked, probably.
“It’s a primulae soavious, a flower that is cultivated in just one of the farms outside the city’s walls….its effect is immediately and can be used to make a very delicious tisane with the same properties….”
Colette’s tisane it’s made with the some flower, probably….I definitively have to try it tonight, if I want finally sleep but at least I’m a little worried by what happened early in the morning, at the tavern. But there is time to take care of that problem. Now, the noise of the market isn’t so disturbing as it was just few minutes ago, not that it disappear, but being finally able to have back some interior peace, had calmed my nerves and around me, everything seems bright, even if I’m still living one of the darkest moment of my entire life.
“How I can thanks you, Miss!? I have no money to pay this flower, at the moment….”
“No need to pay it, Milady….it’s a gift, a gift to make you feel better….” she replies, smiling.
“Then, let me thank you in some other way, Miss…..!?”
“Xenia….it’s my name. And really, I want nothing in exchange….” she have a cute smile on her face that makes her very radiant “and you are welcome, if you want to visit my potions’ shop!”
A potions’ shop….now I can understand why she know the proprieties of flower so well and why she have certain species of them usually used for medications and elixir.
“I’ll gladly visit it, but now I have lot of business to take care….and thanks for the flower, Xenia”
We smile at each other, just before both of us move again on our way for the business that wait us. It takes no long to me before I find a shop specialized in clothes for fighters. Here, after had talked with the owner exposing my situation, I find the perfect suit for me to replace the one I’m wearing: it’s blue, trimmed with yellow gold, that although feminine, had protective powers. It’s tissue with a light but resistant material and interwoven in it there is a discrete chain mail of sorts that protected her body to some extent from sharp objects that could only pierce it with some force. It was worn over her head, like a pinafore, a collar neck, and ties at the side, long enough to hide my cock and hold my ample bosom and slender hips in place. It need some little fix, due my not so common height for normal girls, but the owner assured me he can do it in few hours and it can be ready for the early afternoon, just in time for me to go and meet Sir Votan and collect the money I need to pay his services. It takes few minutes to him to take some measurements to be sure about the fixing work he have to done, but I must admit it, it feel strange to me to be touched by different hands from the one of Horgus, I’m not used to it….well, not outside the arena anyway! When I finally leave the shop, it’s too early to go and meet Sir Votan, so I decide to continue my tour of the market. There are artifacts that come from all the three kingdom that surround Libidinis and some even from far away area I never heard about before today and probably I can’t be able to enjoy them if it wasn’t for the flower Xenia gave me: till an hour ago, all the scents, the music….everything around me have no meaning for me, but now I can enjoy them even if deep in my heart the loss of Horgus had leaved an indelible scar….a scar that will bleed for long time, probably. But I can handle with it now….maybe not for so long, but it surely help to raise my mood, as it help the festive and joyful atmosphere that can be breathed in the whole city. I lost myself in this happiness and enjoy every moment, till the time to meet Sir Votan come.
When I reach the harbor, he’s there waiting for me and Mardukas is with him. When I arrived in the city, the first approach with Mardukas wasn’t idyllic and even during the ceremony for Horgus, I clearly felt his eyes above me, like he was expecting some reaction from me, maybe an explosion of rage or something similar. But after clarifying the whole situation, his behavior has changed a little: of course, he always pays attention to me, but he turns gentler than our first encounter and his manners are very different now. When they see me, Sir Votan approaches me.
“I see you had my message, Milady!”
“Yes….the innkeeper gave me it this morning. I didn’t know you were trying to rescue goodies from our ship….”
“Yes, we did it….” he replies, scratching his head “it’s a usual procedure. There can be relatives that want them back or, like in this case, they become property of the city….”
I understand what he mean….however it goes, the city can gain riches that can be used to realize new structures or if calamities hit the city and need to be rebuilded, to don’t mention the fact that some of the men involved in the rescue’s operations can probably subtract a part of them for their own pockets! Anyway, the fact that they have done it, it’s useful for me too, because even if I have basically nothing that I own, they can have found my left forearm guard, something I care a lot, because Horgus had forged personally for me.
“Did you have found a forearm guard in the ship!?” I ask, with hope in my heart.
“Yes, and not only it….there were parts of another armor too! Want to see them, Milady!?”
“Of course, I’d like to see them!”
“This way, then!”
I follow him long the harbor’s dock, moving to the east area of it, thinking at his words. Other pieces of armors….they are probably the ones Horgus was using during his past match in the arena and I had seen him wearing them during official ceremony, when he went with me as my trainer….I can’t see any other explanation! It takes few minutes before we reach the warehouse: here, four guards are patrolling the entrance, while others men are making a list of all the stuff rescued from the ship, to estimate them and, judging from what I hear by their talk, to give to the Prefect of the city an accurate and detailed list of all the new properties of the city. Sir Votan led me inside the warehouse, till we reach a small room: we enter in it and looking around, all I can see are book on some shelters and several objects (or it’s what I imagine they are) on the table, covered by a blanket. In a corner of the room, an old man is busy counting a sack of golden coins and only when Sir Votan speaks to him, he notices us.
“Votan….is she our new guest!?” he asks him, in a friendly way. I’m surprised by them, it’s the first time I see someone in Libidinis talking to Sir Votan directly using his name.
“She is….Milady, let me introduce my father Varon, ex captain of the guards” he say, then turn to his father and continue “Father, let me introduce you Lady, from Rhoonas”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Milord”
“Oh oh oh! Don’t be so formal, my dear….Varon is enough!”
Saying this, he smile at me while his still playing with one coin. Despite to the incredible physical resemblance between them, Varon have a complete different approach with people, more friendly I can say, and looks like this disappoint Sir Votan a little, a man who is engraved by the not so easy role to coordinate the military forces of Libidinis and this, probably, makes him use more formal etiquette in public.
“I think my son had explained you why we called you here, Lady”
“He does, yes….and I must say that letter surprised me at the begin….”
“Hope it doesn’t bothered you, Milady….” Sir Votan asks, interrupting us.
I look at him, uncertain on how to answer him “Oh, no….I’m just arrived here and wasn’t expecting a missive, Milord….you never bothered me, on the contrary, you have done too much for me!”
“It’s our duty as guards of Libidinis….” Varon reply, looking at us “and not only it….”
A malicious smile is now on his face and it’s clearly aimed to Sir Votan. The way he’s looking at his father, make me understand how uncomfortable those words are for him and now that I think well at it, during the whole time we were at the guards’ barrack, I noticed some little extra attention from him, but I was too shocked and down to notice them and now I wonder if he really have some feeling for me!
“Father!” Sir Votan thunder, as he tries to change the subject “we are here for business, not for silly chit chat!”
“Yes yes….as you said, Votan….” Varon replies, rising his shoulders and kneeling to take something from under the table.
That little scene makes me smile and both of them notice it. Sir Votan seems happy to see me smiling for the first time after our first met and this reaction give me the proof he really is feeling something for me. I wonder how much this make me feel alive again, but at the same time makes me feel dirty: Horgus died two days ago and am I falling for another man so soon!? How it can be!? Only after a minute I remember about the flower Xenia gave me at the market….yes, it’s probably its fault, my love for Horgus was deep and real and I don’t want to betray his memories….not so early, anyway!
“So, let’s talk of business!” Varon say, slamming a sack on the table. I heard that sound before, it’s impossible to don’t recognize it: it’s the sound of coins hitting each other and from what I hear, there are a lot of them inside that sack! And in fact, I’m right: when Varon open it, I can see how many of them fill the sack, already reaching the upper boarder.
“There are three thousands Sheckles inside it, my dear….and they are all yours now!”
Three thousands!? Really!? I’m shocked by the amount of Sheckles they are about to give me. In all my entire life, probably I holded just three of them, nothing more….and now, I can have three thousand!? It’s more than how I was expecting and even if I use them to pay my new clothes, probably I have to spend fifty or sixty, nothing more….probably, I can buy even a small house with all that money….I can’t believe they are all mine now!
“It’s the amount we reserved for you, Milady, as the only one survivor….”
“I….I don’t know what to say….” I reply trying to breathe “it’s more than I had imagined!”
“They are yours….and about the forearm guard….” Sir Votan grabs the blanket and pulls it away, discovering several parts of armor on the table. I stare at them, unable to believe at what I see: near my guard, there are all the pieces of Horgus armor, from the gauntlet to the shoulder and even the pectoral plate! And Sir Votan’s men had rescued all them….
“They are all yours, if you want, Milady….”
“Really!?” I babble, touching the dragon’s head shaped shoulder “this is the most wonderful gift you can ever give me….”
Tears start to come out again and the two men notice it. They both understand how important they are for me and Varon pats energetically his son’s back, pushing him outside the small room and closing the door behind them. I don’t know how long I stayed in that room, alone, holding tight the shoulder plate on my chest….all I know is how I was feeling happy to have something that can remind me about Horgus, even if it can appear just as a simple object to foreign eyes. And it was when they came back into the room that I take my decision….
“I have to ask you a last favor, Milord….”
“Of course….I’ll gladly do that, if I can!” Sir Votan reply, surprised to see determination in my eyes.
“I’d like to meet the best blacksmith of the entire city….I have something to commission him….”
“I’ll lead you to him, Milady….I think I understand what you wanted he do for you!”
And he does as promised. After passing by the shop where I bought my new clothes to take them, we finally reach the furnace and here, the owner and I talk for almost two hours, to settle all the works I need he do for me: adapting some of the parts of Horgus armor to me! The gauntlet, the arm, the shoulder and at last the pectoral plate. The whole work isn’t cheap and he need around four days to make it, but I don’t care because that offer me the chance to have something that was of Horgus to take with me, giving me the sensation he’s by my side even now. Finally I can feel energy running again in my body and feeble hope of a better and radiant future, a future I want to catch in my hands, as Horgus had prayed me to do just before he died in my arms.
