[v2] Chapter Thirty-one – In which Ark suffers a great loss at the cost of Selene Hecate awakening her gift.

I don’t think there is a man alive who will complain about being woken up with two women slurping on his cock. In my case, there was an instructional lesson being given by Vera to Dara on how to get an early rise out of me. While the blowjob didn’t reach completion, that also wasn’t the aim. Dara, once more given the first turn, and thanks to a little manual goblin lubrication, was able to take me inside of her with relative ease.

As far as dwarf women go, I don’t think she’s unattractive. She does have a nice pair of breasts and while short in height, she’s not particularly fat. That being said, she’s not skinny either, but her body is visibly muscular. She has the outline of a four-pack of abs, but they aren’t particularly pronounced. Most of the muscles to be seen are found on her arms and legs. She also has a beard, but it’s not located on her face.

There’s about a foot’s worth of... mature growth down below, and it’s properly kempt, braided, and decorated with colorful beads. I think they are wooden, but could also be metal... I’m not entirely sure yet, since I haven’t made an effort to ask about it yet.

With Dara mounted on top of me, Vera is by no means remaining passive here. I really don’t know what Vera’s thinking, but she’s having fun groping and playing with Dara’s rather plump tits. I also don’t know if Dara is just going with the flow or if she’s unsure of how to reject Vera, but aside from some confusion in regard to last night, she’s not uttering a single word of complaint.

Vera, being something of a sneaky goblin herself, lowered her head and, doing what only a goblin with a long tongue could do, managed to snake it between my crotch and Dara’s womanly bits, providing her some extra stimulation during our morning... whatever it is.

It didn’t take long for Vera to slowly maneuver herself so that I had some pregnant green goblin pussy to snack on for myself. I hadn’t had breakfast yet, and given the circumstances, we should all get our fill, no?

Making sure that both of my wives were satisfied, we then headed over to the bath for a quick cleanup, and then Dara and I sat at the table while Vera went and scrounged up some food for us to eat.

I’m not sure of the exact situation regarding Berry’s alcoholic blue water stores, but I did have a few jars stored up in my kitchen here, so I fetched one and some cups and brought it over to Dara.

It’s common sense here that Dwarves love alcohol. Beer, spirits, wine... so long as it’s decently alcoholic, there’s usually nothing to complain about.

While Vera was out, I did ask if Dara was okay with... the situation.

“Can’t say it bothered me much. Weren’t expectin’ it to be what it is, but if I get to enjoy myself like that, don’t see much harm in letting things be as they are.”

She downed her cup of blue water in a single gulp, and I filled her cup once more.

Vera, I think, is preferable to bloody meat, but what she brought back to the breeding room was fully cooked. Three pieces of steak made from Black-claw meat, with Vera’s a bit on the rare side. There were some potatoes and carrots as well, which made me happy. We all dug in and even Vera gestured for me to pour her a cup of the blue water.

After eating breakfast, Dara said she was going down to her forge, and Vera also decided she had something to do elsewhere, so I was left alone, but not before getting a kiss on each cheek at the same time from both of them.

I really felt the love.

Of course, there was worry, too. Now that I had put my seed into Dara, there was the concern that she might goblinize as well, just as Stella and Rushk had. That being said, both of their goblinizations were partial, so hopefully, if it must occur, it’s to Dara’s liking.

As for me, I don’t hate that my left arm is goblinized... it’s just the lingering memory of when I was the Monster that sticks in a corner of my mind. I want to retain my humanity. That’s my only real concern about it.

Cobi and the Kobolds wouldn’t be leaving until midday, which meant that I was free to go about my day until then. Ivory hadn’t been by, so I can only assume that Crow wasn’t awake yet. I decided to visit Berry and the kids and see if I couldn’t get an early start on considering where to begin the renovations.

When I entered the Moon Clan’s cave-hole, I saw Berry was already awake and at her kitchenette area with many jars and busy making more alcohol.

“Berry, may I come inside?”

She looked at me and nodded. Even in the darkness, with my goblin eyesight I could clearly see the fatigue on her face. It worried me. I don’t know enough about the Blood Fury to make any kind of diagnosis, but I knew that whatever state she was in couldn’t be all that good.

However, her not being skittish in front of me now was something I was happy to discover.

She didn’t resist me embracing her from behind. Berry is a warm and loving goblin, at least, that’s how I see her, and I treasure these small affectionate moments between us.

“How are you feeling today?” I asked with genuine interest.

“Tired. Berry is so tired. So is Diana Artemis, but she won’t admit it.” Berry replied with a soft voice.

I gently rubbed my hands over her body and kissed her neck sweetly.

“Mm... Husband... will you give me your big-seed?”

“...right now?”

“Yes.”

“If that’s what my sweet Berry wants, then it’s my job to provide.”

She made it as easy as possible for me by spreading her legs as she leaned forward with her hands on the countertop in front of her. For Berry, even if I were dried up, I would find a way to give her as big a load as she wanted if that was what made her happy.

As soon as I entered her, she let out a small but sensual growl. As my goblin hand went for her breast and my human hand squeezed her ass, I could feel something strange inside of her. It wasn’t the membrane or anything like that. Instead, it felt like a vortex or something. Almost like even though I had just begun, something... some part of my very life essence was being sucked out of me though her pussy.

Yes, that translated to it feeling really, reeeeeeaaaaalllllllyyyyy, fucking good.

Though, it was a bit weird. Berry, without warning, suddenly urinated on the spot, as well as had an uncontrollable leak from both of her breasts. Rather than let me think something was wrong with her, she said not to mind it and that she’d clean it up after. What was most important was getting my big-seed.

I can count on one hand how many times she’d spoken to me in such an insistent way. Maybe it had to do with the Blood Fury and this was how she was restraining it. If she got a dose of sexual gratification, then maybe it would take the edge off?

I had to believe it was something like that.

Berry grabbed my hand groping her ass and moved it to her breasts. She helped me along by squeezing her leaky pair over my own hands and it was just coming out like a broken faucet. At one point she lifted my human hand to her mouth and I could feel her teeth ready to bite it.

“Promise you won’t bite too hard?” I said... with some fake bravado.

She gently pierced my hand with her teeth and her tongue went to work, lapping at any trace of blood to be found. As soon as she did, that indescribable vortex inside her pussy increased in pressure and became increasingly warmer until I was starting to get worried that I might end up with a steamed sausage by the end of it.

The increase in heat and suction wasn’t for naught, though. While I’m a bit ashamed to say I didn’t last as long as usual, Berry was probably happy that I unloaded quickly. She got what she wanted. A womb full of Husband cream.

Her body jolted while I was inside of her, then she let out a gasp as if she had been holding her breath underwater for a few minutes.

Instead of her body going slack, she recovered quickly and let me slide out of her. When she turned around to face me, I was shocked. She didn’t look like that fatigued Berry I had seen just a few minutes earlier. She looked significantly rejuvenated now.

“Are... you feeling better now?”

Berry grinned.

“Berry feels much better now.”

I lifted my (somewhat sticky) hand to her face and caressed it gently.

“I’m glad.” I said, planting a soft kiss on her lips.

“After taking care of Selene Hecate... I’ve been feeling tired afterwards. It was not like this with Diana Artemis.”

I hugged Berry tightly.

“I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to help you more with raising her.”

“It’s not Husband’s fault. But Husband should also make Diana Artemis feel better.”

Berry gestured with her head to Diana’s old room. Inside of it, Diana was resting comfortably, along with Selene who was sprawled out sideways nearby, not a single part of her body was touching the recessed straw bed.

Kids.

Berry went back to making her blue water with some vim, vigor, and a soft hum on her lips.

I made my way into Diana’s room while carefully stepping over Selene and conducted an early morning night crawl into her bed. I must have surely been a fool to think Diana was unaware of my intrusion. As a mighty skilled huntress, she waited until I had climbed on top of her before springing her trap. Two goblin legs wrapped around me, heels digging tightly into my butt cheeks. Two golden eyes sprang open immediately and a devilishly toothy grin spread wide on her face.

“Husband, do you think you can hunt Diana Artemis so easily?”

I grinned back at her.

“I have my own way of hunting.”

I lowered my face and kissed her on the neck, slowly trying to work my way down, but found my path obstructed by her leglock.

“Husband, there’s no need to waste time. Diana Artemis is ready for your seed-stick. Always ready.”

She tightened her leglock until my cock was pressing against her slippery goblin cunny.

Right. Well... don’t want to let the little lady down, now do I?

Lubed up enough from my session with Berry a moment ago, I shoved my cock deep into Diana. She was as hot inside as a toaster oven on broil. I know what a father should never know, and what a Husband certainly must—how she likes it. She likes it when I dig into her. Deep thrusts that rake across the entire length of her erogenous zone within. Like dragging a thick block of cheese over a grater. Diana may be the matron of the Moon Clan now, but she’s still nothing more than the goblin equivalent of a teenage brat. I have my own pride as a man with nearly twenty wives!

I could even rape her if I tried... but that wasn’t the point of this. This morning assault on her was to reward her for being a good girl. Diana has been exemplary, and I needed to let her know that in the way she wants to believe I love her. And I love her, even if that love is twisted and taboo to me still.

“Gwuh... Husband...”

Diana was really feeling it, the clear sign of her mouth being open in a predatory fashion, showing off her razor-sharp teeth that would probably do more damage to me than Berry’s did.

“Want to bite?” I asked, already knowing the answer.

Diana nodded while breathing heavily.

“Too tricky to explain now. When Selene Hecate is smarter Diana Artemis will tell all about love.”

“Owkay!”

“Right! All that you need to know for now is that Daddy is very happy Selene Hecate came into the world.”

I was quite happy to have been given an easy exit from Selene’s childlike curiosity. Once more do I have infinite levels of respect for how hard it must be for Berry and any of my other goblin wives to raise our children. The conversation ended with Selene getting to have her milkies from Berry while we exited the room and us three adults had a productive conversation about expanding the cave-hole.

With free access to my Focus Orb these days, I went about expanding the cave-hole starting from near the entrance. I can’t push north because the shit-pit is almost immediately on the other side of the wall. So, on this floor I can only use my land magic to dig in an Easternly direction. I was able to expand about six or seven feet without issue and wound up creating a bedroom right in the middle of the room. But there was now a great deal of space to be had.

While Diana and Berry had seen me use magic countless times, for Selene Hecate, this was her first. She proved to be instantly enchanted by it. When compacting the dirt and hewing out walls using magic, I generally touch the wall itself. Selene had tried to copy what I was doing, and as expected, was getting nowhere, wondering how in the world I was able to do it.

“Haban stwong!”

Diana and Berry were definitely finding it amusing.

“How Sewwy move wall?”

“Well, it requires magic to do.”

“What magic?”

I squatted down and showed her my quartz focus orb.

“Daddy uses magic with this to move the wall. I have to hold on to it with this hand, and then...” I put my other hand to the wall and let it sink in easily, creating an arm-sized hole.

“Sewwy twy?”

I chuckled a little.

“Sure, you can try.”

I’m afraid there was only going to be disappointment for her. The quartz focus orb is attuned to me alone. Unlike my wand, which apparently prefers Ebony over me entirely, which it shouldn’t... my quartz focus orb isn’t sentient in any way. It’s simply a tool that works for only me. Even after my death, should it happen, it cannot be reattuned. It will become just another inert gemstone maybe worth a few coins or maybe find a way into Jewel’s collection once more.

I carefully passed over the focus orb and let her play pretend magician with it. I didn’t think I could begin to explain the concepts of mana manipulation and whatnot just yet to her.

Turns out, I didn’t have to.

She fell into the wall.

Well, sort of.

Holding my focus orb in one hand, she stood sideways and pressed her free hand up against the wall. A moment later, she... tipped over as not only her hand, but her whole body sunk into the wall, landing on a pile of dirt that was once the very same wall.

“Gwoooh! Sewwy stwong! Sewwy stwoooooong! Deena! Bewwy!”

I cast a glance towards those two who both dropped their jaws.

“H-h-husband! Selene Hecate is using magic!?”

I could only shrug.

I lifted Selene up and out of the small goblin-sized hole in the wall she made and dusted off her body.

“Selene, how did you do that?”

She held out her hand, revealing my Focus Orb. Only... it had changed in appearance. Instead of being perfectly clear and transparent, it was now translucent and almost... misty on the inside.

I took it from her and set her down on the ground.

Holding it in my hand, the attunement that should have been ever-present and bound it eternally to me...

I focused my mana into the quartz and placed my other hand against the wall... yet... nothing.

“Husband... is something wrong?”

Berry was nearby and looking at me with concern, asking quietly.

Without answering her, I tried repeatedly to exert my will within the stone, my heart beating rapidly in my chest with worry when it refused to answer me.

I couldn’t use my force magic with my focus orb.

I stared down at my youngest daughter, handing the focus orb over to her once more.

She took it quickly and began to poke holes in the wall indiscriminately, giggling all the while. Watching her do this, I couldn’t help but fall to my knees.

I laughed.

I laughed in that cynical kind of way, full of darkness with no small amount of despair.

While I was no great tower magus like my mother in this world, Salondra Wyze, is... I was damn certain that what just happened now should be by all the known rules of magic that I’d spent my second life learning and abiding by... was impossible.

Berry was squatting in front of me, staring into my vacant eyes, but I didn’t even notice.

Only after a little bit of shaking did I somehow break out of my mental trance and see her face up close to my own.

“Husband?”

“Everything...”

“Everything?”

“No matter what I do, everything is taken from me.”

Berry hugged me suddenly, but I didn’t reciprocate. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to. Instead, this was like being told that I was being fired from my job and replaced by a kid not even out of high school who knew how to do it better than I did. I had a pile of debts that needed to pay off, a mortgage, a car payment, credit card bills, student loans, home renovations... and no way to earn my keep anymore.

No.

I had a way... still.

That ruddy topaz stone was still available, but...

That was all.

I couldn’t reshape the walls with remotely the same speed and efficiency. I was once more restricted by the available magic I could use.

And it hurt.

It hurt me deeply, even though it was in no way Selene’s fault.

It took a long while for me to recover enough to explain to Berry and Diana what had just transpired. While Berry was sympathetic, Diana didn’t seem to care all that much.

“Husband is still strong.”

Where does she get the confidence to still say that?

But this comedic tragedy didn’t stop there.

Selene Hecate came over to us, since both Diana and Berry were by my side.

“Haban! See! Sewwy stwong gobwin now!” She said with the utmost childlike confidence before opening her mouth and swallowing my focus orb in one swift movement.

A moment later her body began to glow. It was a silvery-white color, similar but different to what I had seen with Diana when I had first touched her. When her body was no longer luminescent, just below her collar was now some kind of elliptical shape the same color as the focus orb after she had used it.

What child the age of a toddler understands restraint when suddenly given nearly unlimited access to magical power?

While I was sensitive to the mana shifting in the air around Selene, Diana was a goblin huntress at her core. She was able to sense the danger faster than me and quickly grabbed hold of me and Berry, knocking us over in a dive to the ground. And just in time. A huge fireball launched itself right out of Selene, directly through the path we were just occupying a half-second before. It scorched the wall behind us where it hit, and the ambient heat of the cave ramped up by a few degrees. It was followed up by a multitude of arrows of light shooting forth not out of her hands, but out of the... unfolded stone which appeared on her body.

Diana quickly got up and grabbed hold of Selene Hecate, pinned her to the ground, and then... spanked her.

“Selene Hecate... bad goblin!”

Berry’s face turned pale for a moment when she was able to lift her head and see part of the wall of her cave-hole completely blackened.

Did she understand too, what had just been unleashed on the goblin tribe?
