Chapter 31: A Pervert’s Vacation

Chapter 31: A Pervert’s Vacation

"I just remembered, we heard some giggles and moans when we were coming here," I say, "Do you know what it could have been?"

Pallido looks at me with the corner of his eye, he suddenly seems hesitant to talk.

"That, uh..." Pallido massages his temple, "That must have been one of us. The moon was having an effect on us a day ago so the other dryads must have gotten... 'mischievous'."

"There were some suggestive moans," Roxanne says.

"Well... I'm sorry, they were mating near your tent," he hurriedly confesses, "They didn't mean evil and they would never interact with you due to Gify's presence but they certainly did some regrettable things."

"It wasn't anything bad," I wave my hand in apology.

"Yeah, just creepy, don't worry," Roxanne smiles wryly.

Pallido nods and awkwardly returns to his more formal demeanor.

We are taken to the 70th floor, around the middle range of the tree. The red grass is so thin and soft that it feels like we are walking on a textile carpet. The corridors are a neutral grey with very few leaves and ivies. They are all organized on a simple and orderly grid. It's one of the few floors were I actually saw doors. This feels like a hotel.

"This is your room," Pallido says. He stops on a particular door with unknown markings. "Apologies but please memorize or copy the markings, they are in a neutral language we all use."

I pull out some paper and a small clipboard and copy it multiple times, then I give the paper to girls. Each character is a number of scratches organized in a circle.

"The other five rooms along the corridor can also be used by any of you."

How much of our life did Gify tell Gecynd?

Gih.

Our sleep arrangements is not really "just enough".

"The Cublend in front will be your guide, his name is Arlo," Pallido points to the other side of the wall where bunch of leaves arranged in the shape of a man are growing out of the wall. I see them flutter loudly. "If you wish to separate ask it to him and we will prepare more guides for each of you."

"Thank you for your hospitality," Alissa says with a nod.

"It is our pleasure," he bows, his curly grass hair bounces wildly. "If you need nothing else I will be taking my leave. You can always ask for another meeting with our Lord, she's not a busy person."

"Thank you. That is all," I say.

Pallido walks away and I feel glad the overly manly man is away from the women.

We enter the room and the first thing we see is that the bed is larger than ours, there's a thick silk blanket on it and some very fluffy and furry looking pillows. There's a wardrobe that looks like it grew out of the wall, a table with some chairs that look they came right out of a nobles house, and I recognize a gnomic magic tool that controls the temperature. The mix of technologies is jarring but very curious.

To our left the door is open to a large stone bath, beyond that is an almost modern looking toilet. To our right we see that the doors to our other rooms are all open. Behind the bed there's a balcony that gives us a view to the south of the Sea of Trees. We are considerably high above the canopy of trees, giving us unobstructed view to something amazing.

Roxanne throws herself in the bed. She quickly removes all her clothes.

"SO FLUFFY!" She yells.

I strip down naked and join her. Yeah, she's right. This is super fluffy.

Oh Gods, I fell asleep. It's almost evening so it's time for a bath.

I wake up to Roxanne spooning me on one side and Hana on the other. My brains are being massaged by Hana's strong hands and I almost fall back asleep instantly.

"Let's take a bath," I manage to force out before I end up blacking out again.

The hands stop moving and I regain my consciousness.

A groggy me and Roxanne are almost dragged to the bath where the other girls are taking a look. Simple grey stone with a large hole in the middle. Multiple gems decorate the border of the hole, magic tools. There's a large ice box where cold alcohol and some snacks are stored. Alissa closes the ice box and her nipples appear pointy. Even the floor is warmed.

This is a hotel.

"Wolfy, look at this!" Lina exclaims happily, "So many enchantments, maybe we should get some for our bath."

I blink blankly for a few seconds and finally fully awaken.

"Most look like magic tools. You weren't focusing on that, right?" I ask.

Her eyes go back to being gloomy.

"Ah, yes. I know very little about [Magic Tool Carving]."

Lina's Trivia: Enchanting is a spell that affects in item, a magic tool is a spell completely contained in a crystal.

"We can just ask Gecynd later. Actually, you should do it, ask her about the Monster King too."

Lina stiffens and her breath quickens. Ciel chuckles at her anxiety and gives her a calming, breasty hug.

"You will do fine, she doesn't bite, or rather, shouldn't," Ciel smirks.

Alissa starts filling the bath. Bubbles start to fill the air, fluffy and golden foam starts to form, the smell of flowers fill our noses, and a harp starts to play.

"Wow, even music. Now that is a bath," Hana says with a chuckle.

Roxanne face plants on the water and we enter after her.

"Cough, cough, gueh! What...? Oh, a bath," Roxanne surfaces.

"Sorry, my love. I didn't notice you weren't fully awake," Hana says with a guilty grin.

"You what?"

"Nevermind..."

Alissa activates another gem and the water starts bubbling, massaging our skin.

"Oh yes..."

My consciousness fades again.

I wake to the comfortable breast pillow of Hana. Ciel and Lina are also sleeping while cuddling. Aoi and Gify are floating in the middle while they hold hands. Roxanne is sipping some blood red drink.

"Let's switch," I say.

With a grin Hana slips out and straddles me. Her bouncy breasts and slightly tanned skin fill my view. I trace my hand on her abs and lick them, she chuckles and flexes them for me.

Hana makes me feel weird. I have to be very careful with her or it will be me being tied down and assfucked one day.

Ciel groans awake as Hana moves her hips up and down. Hana has so much leg strength she can do a perfect piston motion for a long time.

I clamp my teeth on one of her nipples. She stops pistoning and instead starts undulating her belly like one of those belly dancers.

Her skin glistening with wetness, her wet hair sticking to her body, her serious face is that of a predator. I want to sink my claws on her body and show who owns her but I lack the energy, for now I will let her use me.

Roxanne bites her lips, she wants in on the fun. I nudge on Alissa, who's quietly masturbating to us like always.

"Kiss her," I point to Roxanne, "you are Roxanne's pet now, do whatever she wants."

Roxanne's eyes dart between me and Alissa. Her mouth puckered in surprise. Hana simply smiles wildly.

Alissa obeys immediately, yet I see the fear in her eyes. She straddles Roxanne and pulls her face to her own. Roxanne eagerly accepts, their mouths clamp on each other. Roxanne hugs Alissa tight and takes charge of the kiss. Alissa's tail is standing upright and swaying slowly, she's very scared, yet she obeys.

Roxanne lifts Alissa out of the water and puts her on the edge. Her hands squeeze Alissa's breasts, then she pinches her nipples, provoking a moan. Alissa's entire body shivers.

Her hand lowers to Alissa's abs, then to her bush, then her fingers enter Alissa. They break the kiss and Alissa moans, the mixed saliva dripping from her mouth.

She sucks her nipples but not for long. She pushes Alissa down and her mouth trails to her lips. She spreads Alissa's pussy, she finds the little clit and chomps on it.

Roxanne fingers and licks and sucks. Alissa moans louder and louder, her tail loosens but barely sways. She never asks to stop, she won't go against my wishes, she wants to be raped and it doesn't have to be by me.

Roxanne, the expert, makes Alissa orgasm easily. I finish inside Hana soon after.

Roxanne stops her symphony and moves out of the water. She sits on Alissa and rubs her pussy on her face. Alissa responds and chomps down on Roxanne, her [Oral Technique] also applies to other women.

Roxanne shivers and her thighs squeezes Alissa.

"Oh wow. What a slutty little tongue she has," Roxanne says.

"Cummed already? I want a taste of that cunt too," Hana says with fearsome smile.

Oof. I get hard inside Hana again.

"Oh!" Roxanne jumps a little, "Those fangs are quite the treat."

Roxanne cums another time and releases Alissa. Hana pulls Roxanne and forces her to clean her dripping cunt.

Alissa curls on the border of the tub. Her face is blank yet her fingers still caress herself. Hana eats out Roxanne while Ciel and Lina are getting out of the tub, a very deep blush and a nervous smile on Ciel's lips.

I come to Alissa and spread her legs. My throbbing dick penetrates her still wet pussy easily and she jumps in surprise.

She quickly hugs me and her nails dig on my back at their usual spots. She moves her hips wildly and looks me in the eyes, life already back on them.

"I love you," she says, "I love you, my master."

"I love you, my little whore."

She moves faster and faster. Lust turns to love that turns to passion that turns to rage. Now she wants to hurt me, to dominate me. The fucking slut doesn't have the stamina to compete against the God of Sex, cheater or not.

Her rage burns out and she slows. Back to moving slowly.

She giggles and gives me a long kiss. Her tongue tastes like Roxanne.

"What have we become?" She asks.

"Two depraved perverts."

"Two people in love."

"Two hearts entwined."

"Two souls bound."

"Two beings who trust everything of each other."

She moves her hips slowly, savoring every jolt of pleasure. I kiss her and hug her tight, I feel her hard nipples rub on my chest. Her wet hair stick to my face. The taste of Roxanne slowly fades and get replaced by the taste of our saliva.

Her perky breasts jiggle with every thrust, asking me to squeeze them. Her tail sways rapidly, making waves on the water and dispersing the foam. Muffled moans escape her mouth as I try to swallow her tongue. She simply cannot hold back her smile and it fuses with the expression of pleasure on her face.

She breaks the kiss and arches her back. She laughs freely and smiles as I desperately try to make her stop laughing and go back to moaning. I almost succeed, her moans are just slightly louder than the wet sounds of underwater sex. Her nails dig again on my skin as she starts to lose herself on me.

I love her so much I want to throw away this Ring of Fertility, consequences be damned. All I want is a quiet life with her, to make her happy in any way I can. I know I will never get it so I will enjoy every taste of her while I can.

I pierce her one last time and flood her womb, so much she overflows. All hail our lord and savior [Enhanced Semen Recharge]. Now that I think about it I do have a magic dick, don't I?

I keep inside her as we catch our breaths, I almost fall asleep like this. I want her to be mine, forever.

I look to my side and the girls are eating salted not-peanuts and drinking some unknown beer while watching us. Lina found some green whiskey, hopefully she won't get drunk.

We eat some snacks and rest some more on the bed. Due to me and Lina being so small we can all fit on it if we cuddle.

I finally explore what changed in me after that vision. I get a hunch and add points to [Space Magic], at 40 points a new spell is shown [Warp Space].

"Holy fuck! I can now use spells up to level 40!" I exclaim.

"I guess visions about future destiny is a good way to change your 'perspective'," Roxanne smiles wryly.

"Seems so..."

"You gotta teach me [Holy Spirit]!" Ciel grabs my shoulders and her eyes leave no room for questioning.

"Well, I have a lot of things I have to do. Is it really that important?"

"Well..." Her enthusiasm deflates and her shoulder drops, "No. I just really wanted one."

"Why do you want that one?" Alissa asks.

Ciel twiddles her thumbs and avoids eye contact.

"Bragging rights..." She mutters.

Our stifled chuckles just makes her even more embarrassed.

"A-anyway," she quickly gets up and tries to change the topic, "let's go out and take that tour."

I look at the other magic tools and find something worrying on [Summoning Magic], the level 40 spell is called [Bind].

Lina gets out of the bed and stumbles. She immediately uses [Spirit of Gaia] and returns to normal. So that is the secret of dwarves.

Outside of our room we surround the bundle of leaves in shape of a man.

"H-hello, are you Aslo?" Ciel asks shyly.

"Arlo," answers a voice. It is old but strong, there's an undertone of wood creaking.

The leaves grow away from the wall, pushing the existing leaves towards us while new leaves grow at the back. It looks like a stick figure of a man made of leaves. Eventually the branches snap and Arlo disconnects from the wall.

"Sorry, Mr. Arlo," Ciel lowers her head.

"Raise your head, humanoid," Arlo says, "I feel no offense on your words. And simply call me Arlo, no need for 'Mr'."

"Understood, Arlo."

The small openings between leaves show he's made of twigs, there's no organs inside. There's no mouth and I can't feel any mana coming out of him. How the hell does he talk or even see? The only facial trait he has is a bunch of leaves that look like a nose.

"Well then, Arlo. Can you show us some place to eat?" Hana asks.

"Sure thing," the leaves that make up his head nods noisily. "We have a section where food that should be to your palate is traded. Try not to take food from any other floor, it could cause problems for humanoids."

It needs to be said how odd it is to talk to something that does not show facial expressions. Even the lack of eyes to show where he's looking at irks me.

"Really..." Hana says, her eyes shining.

"Hana, don't do it," Roxanne says, stern, "this is not a challenge."

"Awn..."

"We won't heal you if you end up sick," Ciel says.

Hana pouts during our elevator trip but it quickly dissolves when we reach the 30th floor. The smell of food is mouth watering.

A grass bridge takes us out of our basket and into the floor proper.

In a nutshell, you can put on the Cantina Theme and we it would fit right in with this atmosphere.

A marketplace exclusively for food. Multiple races and animals all walk through the dozens of stands. I don't know the name of half the living beings in here. Some of them are so alien I question if they really belong to this world.

The buzzing of trade is very similar to that of Rabanara's, even though most sounds produced aren't part of any language I recognize.

I see a Gatun growling at a Curind vendor. The bark-man vendor answers with the sound of stone grinding and wood crunching. The Gatun delicately puts his paw on the stand and a bundle of lightly glowing grass appears.

The bark hand of the vendor turns into a large spoon. He sweeps the grass off the counter and pulls out two mangoes from below the stand. The Gatun delicately grabs the mangoes with his mouth, he tilts his head and the mangoes disappear.

Even the animals know [Item Box].

We see fishes being grilled by a weird fish... Man? He looks like a huge fish that grew jelly-like arms and legs. Another that I don't know the race of.

"What is this?" Roxanne asks, "It looks like some good fish."

"Blargdablagarag!" Says the fish man.

"What did he say?" Asks Ciel.

"Uh..." Arlo thinks for a few moment then turns to the fish man, "Blargarag."

"Blargudlalar," the fish man answers.

"Glarlalalala."

"Glardu."

"Globar."

"Blargh."

"Blargh."

"They are bartering," I say to Ciel.

"How do you understand each other?" Lina asks.

"It's due to the blessing of our Lord," Arlo answers, "It should be similar to the spell you system mages call [Animal Tongue]."

"Oh I see. You mostly understand the feelings behind the words," I say.

"But it looked like he was speaking the same language," Lina says.

"Blarg language is not really a true language," Arlo says, "A single word has many meanings, it still mostly depends on feelings."

"Hmm... So maybe this is why it is not on the system," Lina says.

"Maybe."

"Anyway. What currency should we use?" I ask.

"None," he answers flatly, "you are guests so anything you want we will provide."

"How generous. Thank you," I say.

Arlo nods. Rather stoic this Cublend.

"Do you trade with coins?" Lina asks.

Hana points to a few grilled fish sticks and the Blarg looks at Arlo. He nods and the vendor gives it to Hana, his fish lips distorted in what could be described as a smile.

"They have some value but not much," Arlo responds. "Most valuable things are plants with mana on them."

A shish-kebab stall being tended by a dryad is attracting lots of attention. He's roasting a large amount of sticks on top of a scented log. The smoke he's creating is being sucked by some large flowers hanging from the ceiling. The man trips and hits his firepit, a large ember falls out and starts a small fire.

The crowd merely steps back a few centimeters. A flower on the ceiling turns to the ember and gushes water, putting out the fire. The flower then turns to the dryad and gushes double the amount of water on his face. The crowd produce sounds that could be interpreted as laughs.

The dryad recovers the wet ember and returns to tending to his stall.

The fish stick has quite the odd spice. Something like lemon but not very sour. It's in small clumps that burst on the tongue, sending periodic jolts of flavor. Cute gimmick.

I ask for a few of the sweet smelling mangoes and Arlo barters for them. I guess not even Gecynd wants to feel ripped off when she receives the invoice of our expenses.

The girls spread around and drag Arlo onto a few stalls. They come back with multiple types of fruits that I have never seen before.

The shopping spree slows down and Arlo stops in front of us.

"Would you like a restaurant?" He asks.

"Sure."

Better than eating while walking.

Hana brings a bunch of large beetle shells. Everyone frowns at her until a smaller than normal Aoi crawls upon her body and snatches one.

"Sweeet, can-dy!" She says.

Trying to ignore the image of eating a bug. I throw a beetle on my mouth and chew.

With a satisfying crunch the shell breaks apart and I feel a sweet and mushy taste of peach. It's consistency reminds me of pudding.

"They are not the insides of a bug. Do not worry," Arlo says.

I swallow and smile at them.

"Tastes good, like fruit," I say.

Alissa and Lina eat it with some reservations. Ciel and Roxanne look at each other then at the beetles.

"The shell is only used as decoration, it's just pudding," I say.

I pick two and push it to them.

With a grimace they take them and eat it.

"Tastes good," Ciel says.

"But it's not the taste that's the problem," Roxanne says.

"Yes. Food should look appetizing. Even if the shells are just decoration it's still a major negative point."

"Fine, fine. I will let you learn [Heart of Fire]. Buuuut!" Ciel jabs a her finger on Roxanne's nose, "If you fail you will have to accept punishment."

Roxanne's eyes race about as she imagines what Ciel might ask. She smiles as she thinks of Ciel's fetish, then she frowns as she remembers Ciel is not that depraved.

"What kind of punishment?" She asks, wary.

Ciel smug smile fades as she fails to think of a proper punishment.

"You are too much of an angel to enjoy sadism," I say.

Ciel pouts but I see a hint of a smile on her face.

"I will punish her," Hana says.

Roxanne shivers and she forces herself not to smile.

"That won't be much of a punishment," Lina says.

"Oh no. I'm gonna punish her," Hana licks her lips, "I will abstain from Wolfy just so I can use her and break her."

Roxanne shivers again but this time she doesn't smile.

"Awn..." I let out a disappointed moan.

"For the greater good," Hana says to me with apologetic eyes.

The greater good!

"Do it for me, Roxanne," I say, summoning the puppiest of all the puppy eyes I can summon. "Don't let Hana's insides forget the shape of my dick."

Roxanne sighs and her mouth twitches in a smile.

"I will do it, for you."

We take our clothes off and do it at the bath. I put on all my points on [Fire Magic] and [Mana Control], then I cast [Heart of Fire].

My entire body turns into flame. I lose my human shape and become a large ball of fire. It's a horrible feeling, I immediately turn back. I splatter on the water and nearly puke.

Alissa immediately fishes me out and I cough water.

"[Refresh]."

My dizziness disappears and I just float belly up.

"That seemed fun," Roxanne says with worry.

"I think..." I catch my breath "That people practiced this spell... Little by little, instead of transforming... All the body at once."

"Seems plausible," Ciel says, "but can you do it like that?"

"No," I answer flatly.

"Well shit," Roxanne mutters.

"I'm becoming more comfortable with modifying spells. This could be a good test for me," I say.

"Then..." Roxanne taps a finger on her chin then shrugs. "I will just meditate and try to glimpse how it works from a distance."

A spell that turns you into fire. Let swords phase through your flame, fly through the sky like a flaming arrow, slam on the ground like a meteor, that's what this spell can do. Big con for it is that if the flame is snuffed you die, makes it kind of dangerous to use during rain and impossible while underwater, also [Drown] becomes a death sentence.

I have to do it slowly, just a small part of my body has to turn into fire. I sit down on the stone and concentrate. The knowledge that everyone is naked in the bath takes a lttle of my concentration away but it helps in keeping the pressure off. I'm still into "vacation mode", I don't want to stress myself.

Many faceplants, crashes into water and near pukes later and I finally manage to at least keep my body from becoming a ball of fire.

"You kind of look sexy like this," Hana says.

I look just like a fire elemental, a naked man made of fire.

"You might not want to sexualize me. The only thing that you can get is a nasty burn."

"You said that you could eventually gain feeling on this form and choose when to burn," she says with a pout.

"Eventually. This spell is quite hard," I turn back into my nakedness, "and it's using my mana like a fountain. I have to meditate again."

Her pout turns into a frown.

"Maybe if it only burns a little..." She mutters.

Alissa shudders and mutters a groan.

Roxanne managed to cause a few whisps of flame to float around her. Thankfully there's little risk in burning your own hair otherwise fuck this spell. I went bald once, once.

I spend my evening training my Andraste. Been quite some time since I last did it.

"Why do we have to do it naked?" Ciel asks.

"Put 'naked' before any activity and it instantly becomes better," I respond.

"Naked family gathering," Roxanne says with a smile.

"Okay, I get it. Still, the longer we stay naked the happier I get."

Ciel crosses her arms and pouts.

"You are going to get distracted like this," she says.

"Only if you keep pushing them together like that," I say.

She blushes slightly but does not move.

I grab Lina and shove her between my legs. Both of us do our evening training while slowly pistoning each other.

Today is the 29th.

"Nothing new for today, huh?" I ask Hana after I regain my senses.

She gives Alissa her share and swallows.

"There's just so many different ways we can suck your dick while you are asleep," she shrugs.

"Not really complaining, though," I smile at them and give both a kiss on the forehead.

Alissa beams with happiness while Hana contains her chuckle at being treated like a child.

"Why do you like to drink it so much?" Ciel asks, one eyebrow lifted.

"Why do you like to kiss him so much?" Alissa asks.

"Why do you get all giddy when I say 'I love you'?" I ask.

She purses her lips and pouts. "Alright," she says an waves dismissively.

"Well I just think it tastes good," Hana says. Her crossed arms puff up her balloons even more. "That it makes Wolfy happy is just a bonus."

"I like saying 'I love you' to Ciel. That it makes her happy is just a bonus," I grin at her. "I love you, Ciel."

"How corny of you," she narrows her eyes at me.

"I saw that lip tremble, I know you like it," I say.

She huffs and turns away, hiding her light blush. Then I turn at the little girl twiddling her thumbs.

"Come on, say it," I prod her.

"I, uh, I love you too, Wolfy," Lina lowly says with her eyes looking down.

I grab her chin and kiss her lips.

"I love you too, Lina."

Her eyes glaze over and her smile turns silly.

"Now it's time for your meal."

I lower her head into my rising erection.

My [Fire Magic] and [Andraste Language] increased by 1 (now 0+1 and 5+5). Slowly I will get there. Spending time naked with Ciel is fun but what is not fun is grammar.

"These are gifts from our Lord," Arlo says. With a small bow he extends a platter with 6 necklaces. "They have been blessed so it produces the same effect as [Animal Tongue]. They will also serve to appease any animal or forest guardian that you meet."

We all pick our necklaces. They are made of branches, leaves, flowers and some small berries. It reminds me of a thinned Christmas wreath.

I put it on and immediately feel a change in how I perceive things. It's a much stronger effect than my [Animal Tongue], I can feel faint emotions of every animal near us instead of only the one I'm directly talking.

"When you leave the Tree of Mana the effect of the blessing will be reduced but it would still be effective," Arlo adds.

"Hey, I can finally talk to Aoi like Wolfy does," Hana says, she grabs Aoi out of the ground and holds her like a baby. "I love you my little one."

"Kweh! Lo-ve!"

"Awn..."

Hana's expression melts as she suffocates Aoi on a hug.

Arlo's leafy face is expressionless but the necklace tells me he's "smiling".

With the blessed necklaces we can finally take part of one of the most curious entertainment activities around here. The theater.

Without an official language to use, the actors have to get the story across using all other methods. Sounds, music, dance, expressions, and body language, all of these is aided by the blessing that the Tree gives to all its Children.

We get front row seats to the show. The theater is the odd combination of furniture found in the house of a noble with the heartwood of the walls and indoor red grass on the floor.

The lights dim and the actors enter the stage.

A girl is born. The father looks disappointed at his child, the mother cries at the bleak future of the family.

As if understanding what awaits her the girl grows wild like an animal. She grasps on the last branches of life. The father brings food home and watches as the little animal eats the food with ferocity.

I will live, I will live.

The father stares with fear on his face as he sees a dark and frightening ball of magic leave the palm of his daughters hand. The ball flies and hits a resting bird, it convulses and writhes on the ground, crying in pain. The little girl rushes to the bird and snaps its neck. With dexterity she defeathers the bird, bleeds it dry, and with a ball of fire on her hand, cooks the bird.

The father approaches the girl and her eyes widen in fear. She growls and shows her fangs, which are still sunk on the meat of her catch. The father smiles at her display and offers a piece of dry meat.

The girl takes it in the blink of an eye and soon her belly is full of meat.

I shall starve no longer.

The tall and muscular brother comes, he wants his place, his destiny, he challenges her. The scrawny girl twists him and breaks him apart. As his body and mind fails to recover the girl extends a hand, with it comes a kiss.

The lives of the strong shall not be wasted, they will flock to me.

Father, then leader, then lord, they all fell to her. She takes them all, no life shall be wasted, no potential go unused.

I slit the throat of my enemies, I eat their meat, and mate with their strong. I take what I want and what I need.

She grows strong and extends her tendrils far. Her enemies tremble in fear of her ferocity. The Queen conquers all.

Then she meets her nemesis.

A creature so wide it is confused with a mountain. So big its steps provokes earthquakes. So strong the ferocity of the Queen is nothing but the anger of a single ant. But a swarm of ants can still take down bigger prey.

I fear no one, I shall conquer you.

Fire and brimstone rain upon her children, wind sweep them of their mounts, coffins of earth open and entomb her men, and a storm forms just to clean the earth of the filth that are the survivors.

She lifts her head from the dirt and see nothing remains. Tears run free as she despairs, everything she ever had has been lost in a moment. The creature did not even glance at her.

Stricken with grief, she uses her magic on herself. She carves on her body the shame of her loss, the folly of her pitiful attack, the stupidity of her arrogance.

I won't die quietly, I shall have my revenge.

She climbs upon the creature in silence. With pure physical prowess and stubbornness she sneaks upon the monstrosity. Once on top of the head she plunges her little sword that barely manages to break the skin of the creature.

She flows her magic through the sword and penetrates the mind of the creature. She will invade the mind of the creature and destroy it. She will have her victory even if it takes her life, she has nothing else to live for after all.

The creature fights back. She views the endless well of life, the cycle of birth and death. She is born again, suffers again, thrives again, rejoices again, and finally, fails again. The cycle repeats over and over and over again. We merely live until we fail and the world takes us back to the earth.

How foolish of her to throw it all away when she lost for the first time. She has the privilege of remaining alive, she will do it all again and this time she will do it better.

No more arrogance, my lineage shall survive this time.

The creature shakes the earth with a horrifying sound. Her ears burst and bleed, her body shakes, and her bones creak. How cruel to die just after regaining the meaning for her life.

The creature took notice of her and stopped its laughter. Such power that merely a laugh nearly killed her. Apologizing for its outburst the creature nursed the little girl back to life. Suddenly the creature speaks in voice only she can hear.

"Bring me back a family worthy of the name 'Kaengraeng' and this time I will see you as my equal, my kin."

The Queen answers with a scream of war. She will take this as a challenge, she will create a new family so strong the creature will tremble. Or at least one that survives a bout of laughter.

She will come back and this time she will worship the creature.

The lives of the strong shall not be wasted, they will flock to the creature. Under its wing I shall gain power, power to safeguard my kin.

This is the story of the first Speaker.

"I see the show left you speechless," Arlo says.

"Yeah that was quite the storm of emotions," Roxanne says, "I cried so many times."

"Hah, I think you cried more than you didn't," Hana says.

"She just had such a hard life. So tragic."

"Such was the life during the Age of Oppression," Ciel says.

"From what we heard of Bestiaram things aren't that much better," Lina says.

"Blame the heretics," Ciel grits her teeth, "How could people ever worship pain?"

I smile wryly.

"Over here there's really only one religion so things are calm. Back on Earth when religions fought each other horrible things would happen, even worse than what I heard from that continent," I say.

We come back to our room in the evening. Everyone is rather quiet but very content. The show provoked a bout of introspection on the girls.

We all lay down on the bed and stare at the ceiling. The show may have been silent but a large amount of emotions have been transmitted to us. We are all rather tired.

Another fluffy and perfumed bath where Lina tries again to decipher the magic tools. Then another wonderful dinner, this time the main course is varieties of breads with wonderful sauces to spread, there was even pita bread. We finally regain our presence of mind and return to our normal way of acting.

"Say, Alissa..." I call to her.

"What?" She leaves the table and lays down on my side.

"Would it be weird for us to, uh, have sex on your fox form?"

"No. Well not for me," she smiles wryly, "Most non-wereanimals don't find it attractive so we hardly mention it. They feel it's like having sex with an animal."

"Well it is having sex with an animal, but considering it's you I don't mind it."

She beams with a smile and pushes my head to her breasts.

Suddenly she grows furry and the next second I'm looking at a large orange fox on top of me.

"Can't you become smaller?" I ask.

"Oh yes! I can make it very tight. Heheheh, Lina got nothing on this!" Her fox face distorts into a mischievous smile.

Lina lifts her head from the board and frowns at Alissa. Since the fox didn't see her she pouts and goes back to playing. Alissa reduces in size, if she stood on two paws she would be slightly shorter than Lina.

"You can feel pain?"

"Only if I want, I can control what I feel."

"Then let's do this."

The fox gives me a toothy smile and suddenly she swallows my erect dick. Her tongue is much longer and dexterous so I experience a different type of blowjob.

A large fox with long fangs gobbling your dick is both frightening and arousing. Her head doesn't bob up and down but I see her tongue wrap around my head and quickly stimulate it all over. Her large orange eyes stare deeply into mine without wavering. Her face makes me feel weird but knowing who's behind it makes me tip over and explode on her mouth.

"I found a new way to wake you up," she says.

"Oh yeah that's something special."

In the corner of my eyes I see Hana show a sad expression.

"Awn, don't be sad Hana. I still love you just as much," I say.

"It's just not fair..."

Alissa turns back into her normal form and kisses Hana on the lips.

"Remember the things only you can do," Alissa says.

Hana chuckles at herself and gives us a half smile. Then a ferocious fox pushes me down, she lowers her back legs slowly but it misses her entrance.

"Hah."

I grab her neck and sweep her down. With her belly exposed to me I search on her fur and find the small pink opening. I penetrate it with my finger.

She lets out a high pitched cry that makes Ciel jump on her skin.

"Oh, sorry... It's the fox... Instincts taking... Over," Alissa says between high pitched moans, then she tries to smile wryly.

I put some lube on me and slowly penetrate her. She yelps again and I grunt at the tightness. Her warmth and her insides feel the same, this is still my Alissa.

I hunch over her and her long tongue enters my mouth. Rough and dexterous, her tongue provokes a storm inside my mouth. She licks my palate, giving me pleasure in a way I didn't think possible. I miss her lips and feeling her breath but this makes up for it.

Her yelps grow louder as I find the first pair of 4 nipples she has. I break the kiss and move to her nipples. I wet the fur around it and suck on them, luckly her fur doesn't shed. I spend a little time with each of them, no nipple shall be left abandoned.

I make her scream as I piston into her. Her claws come out and she tries to hug me with her paws. The claws stick to my skin and give her a hold so she awkwardly tries to move her hips.

She bites into my neck and uses her entire body to move along with mine. Her fluffiness tickles my body as her fur rubs into my naked chest. I feel the animal wildness seeping out of her and contaminate me, my only wish is to fuck her.

With a gutural grunt I cum deep inside her womb. I nearly collapse on top of her. I'm more exhausted and drained than I have ever been.

When her bite loosens and her claws dislodge from my back I feel the pleasurable tingling of [Heal] being applied to my back. A breeze sweeps through my skin as [Clean] is applied after it to remove the blood.

I collapse besides the fox and she turns back to her normal form. She nuzzles up on my neck and her arms and legs turn into tentacles as she hugs me with all her strength.

"I love you, I love you, I love you," she mumbles while she smiles with her whole face.

"I love you too," I weakly let it out.

That definitely felt weird, I literally had sex with a fox. But seeing how happy that made Alissa I will certainly make an effort to please her. Not like I'm going to be arrested for doing anything illegal.

After I regain my breath 4 pairs of hungry eyes stare at me. My dick twitches and Roxanne is the first to pounce on me.

Tonight nobody is neglected, tonight I am fully drained.

Intermission 9

What does it mean to forgive? The pain doesn't go away so why should I forgive, why should I forget what doesn't leave me?

I don't even understand why she apologized. She doesn't show emotion when the Children of the Forest die yet she apologizes for master's death. Is it just duty that makes her feel guilty about death?

Why does a giant concerns themselves with an ant?

The basket reaches the top floor and the vines open for me. The flowers feel good when trampled by my feet. They quickly whiter and a new one grows on its place.

Huh. What a perfect analogy for my situation. I feel guilty about trampling on the flowers, such beauty shouldn't die before their time.

"Good evening," Camassia says with a smile.

"Good evening," I answer.

A branch sneaks up on the ear of the dryad.
