Rupegia 36 Bind

­

Today is the 4th. An, day of wind.

Ciel wakes me up with her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, seems she was quite happy with yesterday's spectacle.

"Alissa, go get your morning meal," I point to Ciel.

Ciel stiffens and eyes Alissa warily. Alissa smiles wickedly and goes for a kiss. Ciel arches back but she can't escape, Alissa's tongue invades Ciel's mouth.

Ciel's b.r.e.a.s.t.s jiggle as she breathes heavily. Alissa's tongue scoops out the c.u.m, she doesn't let a single white trickle go to waste as she sucks on Ciel's chin. Then she's back to raping Ciel's mouth.

Lina watches with wide eyes and fidgets in anxiety. Alissa pushes Ciel back and mounts her, she grabs Ciel's face with both hands and kiss her wildly, Ciel responds and their tongues rub on each other. Then she releases her face, with one hand she grabs one breast and the other she starts to m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.e.

She grinds her p.u.s.s.y on Ciel's belly, leaving a wet trail as the two beauties do not stop kissing. Alissa's hand picks up speed and she rubs herself harder.

Suddenly Alissa breaks the kiss and covers Ciel's mouth with her p.u.s.s.y giving Ciel a beautiful orange mustache.

Alissa arches her back and moans loudly, her entire body shivers and she stops masturbating. She collapses back and her drenched p.u.s.s.y unglues from Ciel's tongue, her face is completely wet in Alissa's juices.

I grab Lina and insert my throbbing c.o.c.k on her wet c.u.n.t from behind, making her yell in pleasure. Alissa leaves to start breakfast while Ciel remains sprawled on the bed, her eyes out of focus.

I grab Lina's head and force her on Ciel's mouth.

"Clean her," I order.

Lina obeys and her small tongue subst.i.tutes Alissa's juices on Ciel's face with her saliva.

Suddenly Ciel recovers her conscience and sits up. She looks at the grimace of Lina as she suffers from pain and pleasure and reddens like never before.

"You becoming bis.e.xual now?" I ask, mid pounding.

"I just... I don't, uh. Well, ugh!" She covers her red-brown face with both hands. "What have you done to me, Wolfy!?"

"I did nothing, you are the one who licked Alissas wet p.u.s.s.y."

Ciel groans and shivers.

"I just don't know anymore. Ah screw it, I'm a lesbian now."

"Bis.e.xual."

"Yes, that, whatever," she chuckles and leaves, still naked, leaving me to take my l.u.s.t out on the little girl.

I pound hard again making her yell.

"You got jealous?" I whisper to Lina.

She doesn't answer and continues moaning loudly.

"You have to take what you want from her, just like Alissa did," I giggle maniacally.

I cover Lina's mouth and pound her harder. When I'm near I turn her around and paint her pale body white.

I leave her there like a used doll and tell Hana that she has cleaning to do as she's leaving her room. Roxanne smiles and we both stand in the doorway watching as Hana licks the little girl clean.

During this breakfast everyone looks quite satisfied. Me more than everyone since they are all wearing only underwear.

Ciel is absentminded with a small smile on her face, she avoids looking Alissa in the eyes. Ciel suddenly regains focus and looks at me.

"Wolfy, corgi, please," she says.

Roxanne's eyes shoot up and I summon two for them to pet.

Ciel hums happily while the chubby dog pants on her lap.

"How's the broken shield enchantments going, Lina?" She asks.

"Not much progress," she shakes her head, her eyes gloomier than normal, "they are very complicated."

"Can you ask Mr. Gimbo for help?"

"We haven't started looking at reactive enchantments yet."

"Can't tell were we got the shield too," Roxanne asks.

"It's fine, take your time," she smiles at Lina who nods once in response.

­

My [Light Magic] and [Electric Magic] increased by 1 (now 4+7 and 9+12).

­

I put another point in [G.o.dly Language] and impress Kyros even more. The feedback is slowly decreasing.

"Do you have a skill point on the language yet?" Kyros asks.

"No," I lie. Well technically it's not a lie.

"You will soon," he nods to himself, "you have a good talent for it."

Thanks, mate. Kyros is a good person.

­

For lunch we stir fry meat with my Worcestershire sauce. Put some vegetables along, dice it all up in small parts and you can eat it on a sandwich. The bread we use has an incredibly crunchy crust with a very soft interior, Alissa found the best baker in town.

Blessing Magic is more singing. This time I have been trying out [Reinforce], it's going to please Lina a lot since it reduces wear and tear of equipment. Well maybe it won't please her that much since she's kind of a workaholic.

I come back home and see Ciel and Lina meditating besides each other. As me and Alissa approach they open their eyes and smile warmly. Oof my heart.

"Practicing magic again?" Alissa asks.

"No, just meditating for better prayers," Ciel answers.

"Oh, that helps? I never knew."

"Somewhat," she shrugs.

"Is Lina becoming more pious?" Alissa asks. "If I remember right your "Piety" was 10, right?"

Lina lowers her head and fidgets.

Gify pops into my shoulder.

"Gih."

Lina sighs.

"I want to ask them to watch over us," she says.

"I believe they would already do that to us," Alissa says with a wry smile.

"Yes but I want to ask for it. Besides, there's something I want to ask them."

"Oh? What is it?" I ask.

"Secret," she smiles adorably.

Ciel pats her head and Lina blushes.

Hana comes back a minute later, sweaty from sparring at the guild. She looks a little down.

"What's up, Hana?" I ask.

"Up?" She lifts an eyebrow in confusion.

"Ehrm..."

"Reference from your world?" She asks immediately.

'Yeah," she chuckles once, "I meant, did something happen?"

"Got distracted and lost a duel with Toga," she smiles bitterly.

"I don't think I can even beat him."

"That's because you can't use your spells. Now come on, I need some consoling, spank me with [Telekinesis]," she pulls out two dull iron swords and throws one at me.

I have been improving my footwork by using [Telekinesis] on myself, slowly it becomes a second nature. A small decrease in gravity to make me jump farther, a small increase in gravity to make the sword hit harder, a momentary disruption on the weapon of the enemy, a momentary [Rush] to cause a surprise. This fighting style is really unique.

The problem that I see is that it is restricted to using mana, if for some reason I can't use spells or I am out of mana I am dead. Now I have to balance the pro's and the con's. I can't really learn two styles, even my [Dodge] and [Block] are influenced by the spells so I have to commit to fighting with spells to reach peak performance. The problem is that I have to use spells to fight, if I don't then muscle memory is likely to make me do a mistake on my footwork, then I will stumble, fall, and die.

f.u.c.k it, I'll take the plunge, I'll commit to this style. If I have to name it it will be Ekrano Style.

­

More playing around with the [Holy Spirit] as I rest with my pacifiers. Roxanne was getting lonely practicing her [Heart of Fire] on the bath so Hana stayed there to keep her company.

"Kweh?" Aoi looks at us with curiosity in her cry.

I clean the saliva off my lips and my mind starts racing with how I'm going to explain this to her.

"So, Aoi, you see, when a man loves a woman very much..."

"Kweh? Kwh! Speell!"

"OH! That..." I scratch my head as my cheeks burn red.

"I'm trying to learn the spell Wolf is using, the [Holy Spirit]," Ciel says, holding back her chuckle.

"I, ler, fly!?"

"Hey, that's quite the possibility. It would speed up your growth," I rub my chin in thought.

It seems Aoi is learning how to sense mana, this means she can learn spells just like we do. Wow, imagine a huge a.s.s dragon that can double in size and cast spells at you, possibly even chantless. Aoi, the Destroyer.

­

Hana grabs Alissa's head and shoves her on her p.u.s.s.y. Alissa immediately goes to work.

"Wow... [Oral Technique]... is amazing!"

"Uh, huh," I answer absentmindedly.

Hana slowly ties up Alissa in spread eagle. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s painfully squeezed by the rope, a knot right on her p.u.s.s.y, another on her a.s.shole. Her legs are pulled upwards and straight, her arms are tied to the headboard. She has nearly zero wiggle room, she's now a mere s.e.x-doll.

Hana slings over a leg and rubs her p.u.s.s.y on Alissa's. The wetness from both mix together into a delicious liquid. I c.u.m at this sight inside Roxanne, we aren't paying attention to each other, we are just furiously f.u.c.king as we watch our lovers have s.e.x.

Alissa's moans get m.u.f.fled by Hana sitting down on her, who in turn has her meal of Alissa's delicate womanly lips. She makes Alissa moan loudly with her tongue, yell in pain with her bites, shiver in fear when she brushes the blades of her scales on her.

Roxanne c.u.ms and wrings out another from me, my d.i.c.k is getting drained.

Hana laughs and starts fingering her wildly. First 1 finger, then 2, then 3, then 4 then when Alissa stops screaming, she forces her hand in. It doesn't pa.s.s, it went only half way in.

"PLEASE! STOP!" Alissa yells yet her tail still wags.

"NO!" Hana uses the other hand to stretch Alissa's a.s.shole.

"AAH...! AAH...!"

Every thrust makes Alissa yell.

Hana changes position, she starts to lick Alissa's pulsing a.s.shole, spreading it more and more. I stretch my hand and apply [Regeneration] on her. Alissa's entire body quiver as she has o.r.g.a.s.m after o.r.g.a.s.m.

Hana goes back to fisting her first target, now her hand is completely covered in Alissa's wetness.

Hana pulls out and pushes in, her hand slips entirely inside Alissa.

"AAAAAAH!" Alissa screams in a high pitched tone.

I c.u.m inside Roxanne again.

Her voice runs out and Hana pumps out a few more o.r.g.a.s.ms out of her and tires out.

"I think she's kind of pa.s.sed out," Hana says.

"Or in shock," Roxanne says.

"Eh, whatever, come here, I need you now," Hana pulls Roxanne out of me and cleans her.

Alissa slowly regains lucidity. I untie her and clean her body, after Hana stops moaning we both fall asleep quite quickly.

­

Today is the 5th. Fo, day of Fire.

For the first time in a while Alissa doesn't succeed in waking me up. I wake up to her face a mix of emotions, her eyebrows knit in pain, her mouth hangs open in pleasure, her moans show both. She struggles to keep my c.o.c.k in her mouth.

Hana holds Alissa's hips up with one hand grabbing the base of her tail, that's the source of pain. Hana's mouth and other hand plays with Alissa's lips and a.s.shole, that's the source of pleasure, I think.

Hana sees me awake and smirks, she releases Alissa and lets her finish her meal.

Aoi stretches as she awakens, her little claws tickle my hair as she wiggles her fingers. Gify imitates Aoi in a more exaggerated way and his limbs stretch beyond normal means. Both jump on my chest and snuggle up to my throat.

"Do-ne, play-ing?"

"Yes, yes. Let's go feed the two black holes, shall we?" I sit down and the two roll off.

"Kweh?" She tilts her head. Cute.

"Gih!"

"You eat just as much as Aoi."

"Gih, guh."

"I never heard someone having pride of their gluttony," Alissa says, she s.n.a.t.c.hes Gify and aggressively pets him.

"Gih."

"Yes, yes, Your Highness Gify, we shall prepare a breakfast worthy of you glorious fat a.s.s," I bow to Gify and Aoi lowers her head along, slightly confused.

"Gieh, gah gas."

"But her fat a.s.s is actually s.e.xy."

­

Lina increased her "Piety" by 1 (now 11). I increased my [Blessing Magic], [Mana Control], [s.p.a.ce Magic], and [Enhanced s.e.m.e.n Recharge] by 1 (now 4+20, 0+13, 11+21, and 0+7).

­

"You look quite tired, Alissa," Ciel says.

"Heh, heheh, eheheheh..." Alissa responds with a silly chuckle.

"I showed her how real women make love," Hana says.

Ciel blinks repeatedly.

"That was the hottest thing I have ever seen," Roxanne says, a warm smile brightens her face.

"Wolf, uh, we are going shopping today, right?" Ciel forces a smile.

I really have to force Alissa on Ciel, she seems quite scared of her own desires.

"Yeah, equipment upgrade for everybody!" I spread my arms wide and smile.

­

We go on another shopping spree. More gla.s.s cabinets, more ceramic plates, some silver cutlery, another tea set, beautiful mixed potted flowers, a 2 meters tall mirror for all of us, a small glaive embroidery to hang on Ciel's door, and an embroidery of a ruby and a hammer to hang on Lina's door. More dresses to fulfill my fetishes.

For armor everyone has been upgraded to Grey Berserker leather padded with Stal wolf fur and covered with emerald scales, even things like coifs, mittens and boots. Roxanne's scales affect her spellcasting but the benefits of the armor make up for it. We traded all mail for the scales, the riveted mail was being a pain for Lina to deal with, her [Manipulate Metal] isn't that precise to repair it.

All our shields have been lined with emellanat. Ciel's wooden targe has also been upgraded to a metal one. Hana now has a warbow, though It's not enchanted yet. We now have some dragon fang dust that can be used to repair my sword.

We have bought a small dagger with [Double Strike], Lina will reverse-engineer it to enchant Hana's sword with it. Though for now the bent enchanted shield still takes priority.

We finally have a lithograph. One for each of us, they are all bound together on a network, modify one and the others follow. They are like Vanea's lithograph, a small metal retangular box that has a white and a black fluid inside, you apply mana to a very small gem and the black fluid follows your finger, allowing you to "finger paint" a message. Primitive but functional.

Finally we go back to the jewelry shop where we bought Lina's choker.

"Y-you sure this is okay?" Lina asks.

I nod at Lina and bring her hand to my lips.

Ciel is quiet but she can't hide her unease.

Roxanne claps the tip of her fingers in excitement.

"It's been so long... uh," She knits her eyebrows, "I had some jewels before but I left them, they belong to my family, not me."

Alissa and Hana are rather absent-minded, they may not have the most vanity but they certainly enjoy looking beautiful.

Once we enter the store Alissa disentangles from my other arm and makes a beeline to a display of turquoise necklaces, pool blue gem with black streaks. Aoi drops from Hana's shoulders and starts walking around the store.

Roxanne quickly picks up a simple black cloth necklaced with a small marquise wine red garnet hanging from it and rushes to Hana.

"This, you," She says, her hands reach over Hana's neck and she fastens the necklace.

Hana looks at me and shrugs then plays with the small gem with her hand, a warm smile caresses her face. The necklace is long and even reaches her cleavage.

Roxanne picks up a thin black metal necklace with an a.s.scher ametrine hanging. The gem has a dark purple tone and on the middle it is tainted with a bright yellow. If light hits it at the right stop it looks like dusk.

Ciel spends some time looking over the moonstones. I point towards a heart shaped one and smile at her. She opens and closes her fist in indecision, her gaze lingers on the stone I chose.

Lina looks so lost she's sweating cold. Roxanne comes and brings her over some tanzanite, the deep purple gems awaken something on Lina as her eyes open wide. She shyly stretches her hand forward towards a Portuguese cut gem, it's spherical and looks like a storm of reflections is brewing inside.

Alissa comes with a white cloth necklace in hand, the turquoise she chose is shaped like a tear, Briolette cut. The gem contrasts well with her eyes.

Ciel chose a silver coated metal chain necklace with a heart shaped moonstone. Lina chose only the gemstone, she will embed the gem on the metal plate of her slave choker.

Alissa suddenly grabs my hand and puts a black cloth necklace with a square cushion-shaped heliodor gem, it is bright yellow with a hint of green. I lift an eyebrow but quickly lower it. I put on the necklace and hurry over the mirror.

"f.u.c.k me, I look fabulous," I whisper.

"Gih, guh goh gah."

"Thanks..." I smile wryly.

"I prefer handsome, or dignified," Alissa says as she approaches me.

"Whispers aren't meant to be heard by just anyone."

"Then simply don't speak, you know my hearing is good," she lightly pinches my cheek.

I smile faintly.

"Should we get something to you too?" I ask.

"Geh geh, goh gih goh guh."

Alissa chuckles, "Do you only care about food?"

Gify morphs his shoulders into a shrug.

"Kweh!"

Aoi taps the gla.s.s with her claws, below there's a round gem of deep blue azurite with blue pool hints of malachite.

The female attendant looks supremely amused after I ask her to measure a very small necklace for Aoi.

"I have seen small dogs and even a small Gatun receive a jewel, but for a dragon this is the first time," she says.

"Pre-ty!" Aoi says as she looks herself on the mirror.

"Awn..." Hana gushes over the little blue bundle of scales.

'I will teach you [Item Box] so you can store your things on it, okay?" Roxanne says.

"Kay!" Aoi shows her fangs on a smile.

­

Alissa starts baking a berry and honey pie. It will be ready after lunch. The fluffy dough is her new obsession, it's something rather hard to find due to the precision necessary. It's not bread but certainly has that bread white "breadness" to it.

­

Today is [Blessing Magic] cla.s.s. Hatara gives me satisfied nods once she sees my new necklace. It certainly compliments my dark hair and eyes.

My pocket starts to heat up and I see a message from Vanea.

"Come see me at the break."

­

"Enter."

Me, Alissa, and Lina steel ourselves, this time Gify is also awake and aware, he ma.s.sages my shoulder with the running water feeling and lightly connects our minds. I grab Alissa and Lina's hand and feel my mind clear. We breathe in and open the door.

Vanea is sitting at her usual spot, this time with her proper chair. To the left there's a new small table where Farana is perusing over doc.u.ments and making small corrections. She's wearing the usual grey velvet uniform and beret of the university attendants. She lifts her eyes and glances at us then goes back to work. Her expression is neutral but now I see life in her eyes. She's wearing a collar with a black tag, the mark of a criminal slave.

­

I almost sigh in relief.

We bow lightly to Vanea and sit, her gaze is uncomfortable as always. I will need Lina's a.s.s on my lap for a good half hour to heal after this.

"I see you have been busy, Mr. Ryder," Vanea says.

"As always," I smile for a moment.

"I believe you will accomplish a lot but I didn't think you would actually meet with Lord of the Forest."

"We didn't, we only visited the Tree and talked to the Speakers."

"Oh? Oh yes, the dryads," her gaze loses focus for a moment. "I'm impressed you managed to find a way to being accepted, the Lord is quite unforgiving of trespa.s.sers."

"Gih."

"I see..." She contemplates Gify's words, her expression neutral with a hint of tiredness. "Now, I called you here to tell you that Darean has fled Rabanara."

I glance over to Farana and see her still working like before. She notices the silence and looks over us then returns to work, her expression is the same but just a tad sadder. I turn back to Vanea and frown.

"How did he escape?" Alissa asks.

"Ever since I captured Farana he went into hiding, quite difficult to find someone that has that much money," she says, her eyes half-closed in annoyance and tiredness. "I only know he fled because his minions have dispersed and a considerable number has switched sides. Even if he were still in Rabanara he's finished."

"That's nice to hear but we will be leaving soon, we could end up meeting him again," I say.

"Exactly," Vanea flashes a smile. "If you do meet him please capture and interrogate him, I would pay a fortune to know who was funding him."

"You still don't know?"

"Only that it's imperial royalty."

Us 3 share a look. It really was royalty. This is insane, the amount of money they could have poured in to fight Vanea is almost limitless. I have to thank the G.o.ds that I didn't make the mistake of announcing to the world my relation to her, she can survive the wrath of royalty, we can't.

Her smile grows wider as the silence continues.

"I know you are going to the High Forest so this is my warning to you," her smile turns warm. "Darean has fled to the High Forest, neither I nor the empire has a proper network there and the elves have their own problems to deal with. He can survive there indefinitely, or at least until the western Crown Lord has been replaced and the order reestablished."

I sigh and ma.s.sage my eyes. We haven't gotten rid of the f.u.c.king stalker yet.

"If you ever need someone to trust, the eastern Crown Lord is reliable," she continues.

"Why is that so?" I ask.

"He's the one spearheading the reforms on the High Forest, we have a good relationship with him," she says. "His side of the forest is safe, so it's unlikely Darean will act over there."

"But we are going to the western side because there's plenty of unregulated dungeons there."

"So rely on the eastern Lord, you can easily sell your services to him."

I would rather not have to deal with n.o.bility again. Alissa and Lina look just as demoralized as me.

"Thanks for the warning, we will deal with it," I give her a tired smile.

"I hope you do. I will be going to the capital next year, I will see you there," she smiles again, this time more mischievous.

"What? I could end up avoiding the capital if we visit Sommerland then Mountainhome."

Find Hana's family then visit Lina's.

"You will certainly visit the capital, with your Gift I find it hard to believe the emperor won't notice you," I cringe at her words. "Now that we are talking about it, what is your Gift exactly?"

"I would rather not say."

"Guarded as always," she chuckles.

"It pays to keep your abilities a secret, Darean's attack failed because of this."

She nods in agreement.

"I know that well... one last thing, do you wish to purchase Farana?" She asks, innocently.

I choke on my spit, Alissa flashes a smile but quickly turns it into a frown, Lina's expression is unchanging but her skin pales.

"No, thank you" I answer as soon as I regain control of my throat.

"What a shame, it's quite obvious you are a good master, at least for women."

"I already have enough."

"At least Tarano will be happy..."

The ruffling of paper slows and I glance at Farana, she rubs her wrist in nervosity and then continues to work. I'm not sure if she's happy or not.

"Don't concern yourself too much over her, she's paid her dues, now she only has to keep being a good girl," an odd warmth on Vanea's voice.

Vanea rests her crossed hands on her lap in a relaxed posture.

"Was that all you had for me?" I ask.

"Yes, I believe this is our last meeting like this. Have a safe journey."

"Thank you, for you too."

We bow lightly and take our leave. Once we leave the building Lina talks, "Vanea looked somewhat, disappointed."

"Gih."

"Yeah, she even looked tired, if it's bleeding over her expression she must be really tired," I say. "Not really of our concern now that it is over."

"I must say, I'm happy it is over," Alissa stretches as she speaks. "Though not entirely over at least we are only dealing with a fugitive instead of a crime lord with the backing of royalty."

"No invisible a.s.sa.s.sins," I say and Lina nods along.

"Gih."

"Yeah, and no kidnappers," Alissa grabs Gify and pets his cute white little stubs he calls wings.

Gih! Geh gah guh!

Eheheheh. You have never seen a real griffin, have you? Real wings are ma.s.sive.

Guh gih geeh.

I have seen ill.u.s.trations at books, and that's enough.

­

It's relaxing to eat our pie as we watch the hustle of the other students and ruminate on what we were told.

There's some catharsis in knowing we are safe in Rabanara but also I feel rather calm at the future, knowing the enemy is coming is hundreds of times better than the sudden panic of falling into an ambush. Maybe this is why the shrieking s.p.a.ce mage is what haunts me once in a while, I fear the unknown more than the known.

­

"Kweh!"

"Hold tighter!"

We are greeted at home to a very small Aoi grabbing Roxanne's coif as she walks around. Roxanne is helping out with dinner and Aoi is stuck with her, trying to concentrate into copying Roxanne's manipulation of [Item Box].

"Sounds like you are having fun," Alissa tells Aoi.

"Kweh! Wob-ly!"

"Oh shush and go back to concentrating," Roxanne says and taps Aoi's head lightly. "I heard your wings flap, don't think I'm going to continue this if you start to mess around."

"Oh, no!"

While Roxanne is busy with the pot Hana looks at Aoi and mouths "flap more", then she returns to chopping Dragolite meat. This elicits a giggle from Aoi and a glare from Roxanne who has a sixth sense in noticing mischief.

I approach Roxanne and smell the soup. Smells hearty and looks orange, must be a combination of Dragolite stock and annatto.

"I must say, Wolfy," she stops stirring the soup and gives me a greeting kiss, "cooking is harder than I thought, it's so much easier to just follow orders..."

"And the Ronti are fast," Hana says.

That means "that's right" or "that's obvious" depending on intonation.

"Being a chef is quite hard, finding the proper food that pleases everyone is quite hard. It's also why I experiment so much," I say.

"Well I find seasoning to be quite hard. We also have so many spices," Roxanne says and adjusts her coif as Aoi almost falls over.

"For seasoning just under season and then adjust, whenever you can do a taste test. For spices stick to what you know until you are comfortable to expand, don't try to impress."

"It's just that there's so many details," she glances over the multiple bowls where the dishes are being made.

Roxanne is making soup, fried meat, a leafy salad with light mayonnaise, and a squishy vegetable salad that reminds me of cuc.u.mber seasoned with vinegar and sugar. Quite the task.

"That's precisely the point. The devil is in the details."

"Another reference?" She asks flatly.

"It means something simple might take a lot more effort because details were overlooked."

"What does the Devil race got to do with it?" She tilts her head and Aoi squeals in delight.

"We are not talking about the same devils."

She shrugs and goes back to stirring the soup. Alissa puts on the ap.r.o.n and comes to help. Lina comes down and gives me a greeting hug.

"Where's Ciel?" I ask.

"With Arantos," Lina answers.

"Let's go out to spar, then?"

She nods.

­

Lina is slowly getting better with her strikes, more controlled, deliberate, and precise. Her battle sense is improving. If I start to mix up my skills along with my style I can finally beat her again.

Ciel comes back home and quickly joins us in sparring. I use [Telekinesis] to glide away from Lina's attack and stop.

"You spent a long time talking to Arantos," I say to Ciel.

She chuckles and rolls her eyes, "I told him we are leaving to the High Forest, he started giving me all kinds of advice and warnings."

"Sounds like he cares about you," Lina says.

"Yes, I know," Ciel smiles wryly, "doesn't make it any less tiring, though. Oh yes, he wants to talk to you, Wolfy."

I feel a chill.

"Don't make that face, he's not going to eat you."

"Doesn't make it any less scary, though," I say.

­

The two girls spar ferociously. We don't use protection equipment as the bruises build "Endurance" and [Heal] makes them all disappear anyway.

Despite being tired Ciel still puts up a fight against Lina. Her range advantage makes Lina's axe nearly impossible to use unless when she uses magic to create an opening.

­

Ciel drops down and sprawls on the gra.s.s, Lina joins her as I rest up.

"I'm actually quite excited to leave. I only spent some time on Goldcross last time I left, I heard that Escanso and Goloria are beautiful cities," Ciel says.

"They are high up in the trees, right?" Lina asks, Ciel nods. "It's just... scary for me. I'm not sure if [Stonebody] will still work so high up."

"It didn't change when inside the Tree of Mana, right?" I ask.

"Yes, but still, the Tree of Mana is special."

"The High Forest is also special. The elves mold the trees with their own magic, the ambient mana should be high."

"Hm..." Lina purses her lips in thought.

"Come on, sit up and pray. We will take a bath in five minutes," Ciel sits up and pulls Lina. Both girls cross their legs, closes their eyes, and turn into statues.

­

The bath is spent with Ciel. Alissa relaxes back and m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.es slowly as always. I feel Ciel is a little too excited and vigorous, she glances at Alissa and smiles faintly. A little progress at least.

"You are like a newborn," Ciel says.

I shrug and continue.

­

Night is spent again with Ciel and [Holy Spirit], I got it to tap-dance. Ciel is unsure if that's sacrilege or not.

Lina uses [Manipulate Metal] to mold the metal band on her choker so she can attach and detach her small jewel. She looks so cute with it on.

Today is the 6th. Ekt, day of Electricity.

Alissa shares her morning meal with Lina by way of kissing. Ciel unconsciously squeezes my arm harder as Alissa explores Lina's mouth. An out of breath and blushing Lina is left behind as Alissa leaves the bed to make breakfast.

Before leaving the room Alissa takes a moment to stare at her naked self on our new mirror, she pinches her own b.u.t.t and moves out with a sway on her hips.

"Just making sure, you can always deny her, Lina," I say.

"It's okay..." She mutters.

"Gih."

Lina purses her lips.

"I like it..." She forces it out with some effort.

Ciel stands up and leaves, I pinch her jiggling a.s.s and she glares at me for a moment. She's totally jealous.

­

Today Lina's "Dexterity" and "Speed" increased by 1 (now 13 and 12). Roxanne's "Dexterity" and "Perception" increased by 1 (now 12 and 11).

We sit at the table and a very happy Hana is humming as she cuts down some fruits for a salad with cream.

"You are quite happy this morning," Roxanne says.

"You didn't do anything?" I ask Roxanne.

She shakes her head sideways.

"Today is my birthday," Hana answers, chipper.

My stomach sinks, my heart hurts. OH NOOOOoooo~...

"Oh. Congratulations, let this year be better than the last," Ciel pats Hana's back.

"Let this year be better than the last," Alissa repeats and also pats Hana's back.

"Kweh! Grat!" Aoi rushes over Hana and licks her face.

"Gih gih."

Roxanne and Lina then do the same. Hana smiles wider and then stares at me, waiting for something.

"Wait, what's going on? Is this how people celebrate birthdays?" I say as my eyes race about, bouncing around everyone's happy expressions.

"Yes? Is it different than on Earth?" Ciel asks.

"We usually have a party where people bring gifts."

"Oooh party" Hana says.

"Gifts," Roxanne's gla.s.ses glint.

"The party seems okay but what would we gift Hana?" Ciel questions.

"Something she needs," I say.

"And what would it be?" Alissa asks.

I shrug and then Hana also shrugs.

"Sounds troublesome," Lina says, her eyebrows knit in thought.

"And it is," I cringe back at certain memories.

"How do you deal with it having to give gifts to so many people?"

"Trying to think of a gift for marriage is already hard," Alissa says.

"Yes, it is harder."

"We doon't really need to bring all of your customs back, right?" Roxanne questions with a phony smile.

"A party is enough" Hana says.

"A party it is," I say. "Anyway, uh. Congratulations, let this year be better than the last."

I grab Hana's hand to give a kiss but she steals one from my lips.

"How about we bake a cake ourselves?" Ciel asks.

"We would need a lot of time," I say.

"Let's do on the cla.s.s break."

"The 12th then."

Ciel nods emphatically.

­

Kyros forces me to resist the [G.o.dly Language]. I'm forced on the ground as he repeats "kneel". It is supremely unpleasant to not have control over your own body.

"Your 'Willpower' is quite good, most people in your place would be as still as a statue," he says.

I'm trembling all over trying to resist, my head slowly rises. I can't even smile or scowl, my body is completely controlled.

"Release."

I regain control and sprawl on the ground.

"Now, try to make me kneel."

I regain my control and slowly sit back on the chair.

"Kneel."

I see his face twitch and his body rock back and forth. I hunch over and grab my stomach, trying to keep my breakfast in.

"Good,"he smiles warmly, "you are improving.

I think I hurt myself more than I hurt him.

"I remembered one thing, you ever heard of [Inspire Growth]?" I ask.

"Oh that," he smiles faintly and strokes his goatee, "every drill master has it, helps people improve stats and magic."

"Not skills?"

"No."

"What about [Increased Growth]?"

He narrows his eyes in thought.

"Never heard of it, sounds similar to Inspire, could work the same way," he shrugs. "Where did you hear about it?"

"I heard someone at the hunter's guild got it but was afraid of the skill checks," I lie.

"Ah, that's quite common, once in a while an adventurer gets a weird skill and pays the temple to remove it," he chuckles. "Quite annoying, really, it's not cheap."

­

On [s.p.a.ce Magic] cla.s.s I learn to chant [Warp s.p.a.ce]. Basically it "shrinks" s.p.a.ce so more things can fit on the same s.p.a.ce or the inverse. The professor starts a demonstration that makes us feel like we are tripping.

"You can see that there's a visual deformation of s.p.a.ce as the parameters for reality are distor..." His voice slowly fades away as his head turns smaller and smaller, like he's walking away from us, then his head starts to increase in size again. "...roperties of this new s.p.a.ce are exactly the same as the normal one so it is safe. What you should all be careful of is of the boundary s.p.a.ce," his head grows back to normal but then balloons and expands much bigger than the original.

He continues, "This s.p.a.ce has transient properties so when you create an extreme transition, physics start to acquire some odd behavior, potentially harmful," as he speaks his ballooned head extends a little further but starts to conform to a cubic shape. Like a distorted mirror his face is completely stretched yet gives the weird feeling of his skin "flowing" around the cube with a mere tilt of his head.

"You could compress or extend s.p.a.ce directly inside the body of somebody and rip them apart," he casually smiles and his eyes glaze over as he imagines something, "but the usual inefficiency of affecting someone's body directly with mana still applies. The amount of mana necessary for such a thing would be ridiculous.

"Also don't ever try to compress it to extreme levels, you will doom us all when you rip the fabric of reality. Though you would never have enough mana to do this but still, the warning is given," he chuckles at himself.

Is it black holes? Well s.h.i.t, now that's scary.

At the moment I can only create a small box of warped-distances s.p.a.ce. It's odd to push your hand through it, it either feels like it's being pushed forward or back depending on whether I'm compressing s.p.a.ce or the inverse.

Could be used as a tripping hazard, it would certainly mess people up to have your foot snag back during combat. Could even be used to slow down attacks. Imagine creating a super long corridor where things like arrows take forever to cross. Though I can't do these things instantly, the vacuum that it creates is quite wild and becomes exponentially more maninefficient the faster I try to make it.

­

"You managed to cast it?" Lyle asks, his eyes wide in wonder.

Lyle is a precious child, always so dreamy.

"Yeah, just a very small and faint s.p.a.ce, barely any perceptible shrinking."

"Still, you are quite the s.p.a.ce mage, Wolf," Hatara says.

Garanae gives a shy nod.

"We all have our specialties," I say.

Alissa smirks, I know exactly who she's thinking about right now.

"Miss Lina is not coming today?" Lyle asks and looks around the buffet.

On a second thought, I don't really like you that much, Lyle.

­

Rest of the cla.s.s is theory, we calculate how physics interacts with the warped-distances s.p.a.ce. Like atmospheric pressure, sound propagation and the effects of something pa.s.sing through it in high speed, say a leg or an arrow.

It's quite the mindf.u.c.k that's difficult to wrap my head around. Though this was a very enlightening lesson.

­

On the way home Alissa suddenly stops moving.

"Wolf, can you give me [Ignorance]?" She asks

"Sure, why?"

"There's a weakened bird over there, I can capture it easily with the spell."

"Oh, for [Bind]?"

"Yes."

"One moment."

I unmount her and she turns back into the love of my life. I adjust my points and cast [Ignorance], my hand glows and I touch Alissa. Suddenly she hurts to look at, something that sounds like a nightmare to me.

She stalks the bird and then pounces on it. The poor thing is old and weak, couldn't resist Alissa's a.s.sault even if [Ignorance] wasn't applied.

I pull out a bottle of paralysis poison made by Roxanne. Alissa opens the little beak for me and I pour a few drops into the beak of the little grey animal. Not even 10 seconds later and its body stiffens, could even pa.s.s up for dead if it wasn't warm.

"Let's do this at home," I say.

­

Everyone is circling me, anxious, excited, and curious.

"Here goes nothing."

"What?" Hana asks.

"Idiom."

I cast [Bind], my hand glows and I grab the bird.

I feel like I grew another arm, I wish I had [Materialization] right now. I pull the arm out and feel a need to bring it to my chest. With little effort I feel something enter my heart, then I release and my hand stops glowing.

My body convulses and I lose control of my muscles. I feel a stiffness on my whole body that's very uncomfortable. My heart beats fast and my eyes dart around, fear clouds my mind. I feel an incredible need to open my arms wide and flap. I'm hungry and tired, very tired. My vision doubles.

My mind stabilizes after a minute and I recognize what I have been feeling. Proprioception, vision, hearing, touch, and other senses. The same overload of information when I first summoned something. I wish to cut all my senses and my body returns to normal.

"Ughh... I feel horrible..." I mutter.

"Wolfy! You okay?!" Alissa's orange eyes stare unto mine, fear and desperation on her demeanor.

"Yes, I think," I push her away and straighten myself on the sofa. Ciel removes a shining hand out of my arm. I look around and see everyone's pale faces, even Aoi's, if that's even possible. I look at my shoulder and a very calm Gify stares at me.

"Gih."

"Yeah, you girls should trust Gify," I say, "he sees how my mind works."

"At least he didn't get physically injured," Ciel sighs.

"Still scary, what did just happen?" Roxanne asks.

"I felt everything the bird was feeling and the poor thing wasn't feeling good," I say.

"Oh..."

I feel something more, like a string inside my mind that connects to my body, feels weird. I tug at it and feel the bird's mind flood into mine, like a large fluffy blanket that wants to engulf me. With little effort I bundle it up and engulf it myself.

The bird's mind starts to detach from myself, I still feel it but it seems like a different world, a second monitor that I can look at when I wish, different from the usual feeling of having more "eyes" that the usual summoning has.

"Give it the antidote," I say.

Lina receives a small bottle and pours it down the throat of the bird. Slowly its body relaxes and it calmly flaps its wings, stretching itself.

I watch it with warm eyes and hold the blanket tighter, it shrinks on my grasp and becomes a mere fuzzy ball of fluff. I see the little grey bundle of feathers shiver and chirp happily.

"You are safe here," I say.

"You can talk to it?" Alissa questions.

"Not really, it's even more abstract than [Animal Tongue]. More like it surrendered its mind to me."

I tug at the fluffy ball and will it to sleep. The bird curls on itself and closes its eyes, in a minute it's mind is completely shut down.

"Incredible," Ciel mutters.

"So you really can control it's mind," Alissa says.

"Yes but it could also do the inverse and control me if my mind is not strong enough. It's what happened when the spell started taking effect, I wasn't ready for it and felt like a bird."

The girls raise their eyebrows.

"This is dangerous," Ciel says.

"But also interesting," Alissa says, holding her head in thought. "You need to test it more."

I cast a [Heal] and [Refresh] on the bird. Its body was too weary, it wouldn't survive longer like this.

I wake it up with a thought and start controlling it. I have it eat some berries we have then I make it fly out of the window and make it cross town. The feeling of flight is enhanced by the birds own feelings of freedom. I can somewhat read its mind, its not smart enough to have proper thoughts but I can certainly understand its feelings.

"Controlling it costs mana. The further away he is the more mana it costs to send him signals," I say. "Though the sense sharing is not costing mana."

"Sense sharing could be something like a piece of the soul staying with it. This is why it doesn't cost mana," Ciel says.

"If information is being shared and a piece of my soul is in the bird than maybe there's a way to detect the transfer of information somehow."

"What?"

"Some concept from my world. I'm also worried about someone getting a hold of the bird and hurting it's soul, it could end up hurting me too."

"Remove the points and see what happens," Alissa says.

I call back the bird and start to focus on how to summon it. This spell is very different, I can't use the "pocket monster" approach and summon a ball of light, I have to summon it instantly besides me.

I pull on the string that's connecting the blanket, a little mana goes away. I "grab" the string and pull it hard, it keeps coming to me and my mana drops a considerable amount.

A light appears in front of me and the bird materializes out of it.

"Oohhh," Roxanne looks at the bird in wonder.

"That took a lot of mana."

"Expected since you teleported it," Alissa says.

I remove the points and the fuzzy ball turns back into a blanket, taking a lot of effort to keep it contained. I quickly put it back on.

"Didn't remove the [Bind], only made it more difficult to control."

"Okay, you really have to find a way to undo the bind," Roxanne says.

"Soul damage first," Alissa says.

I put 40 points into [Spirit Magic] and a new spell appears [Soul Blade], I cast it.

A small ethereal purple broad blade appears in front of my right hand, the size of a dagger. Awkward to use, it's similar to the katar, a push dagger.

I make the bird land on the table and cut all senses from it. I let a sigh escape.

"Here goes nothing..."

Preemptively wincing I push the blade into the bird.

"AAH!" I yelp in pain as my head sears in pain. The bird also cries and falls over, pa.s.sed out, "f.u.c.k!"

I cast [Soul Touch] and grab my chest. As if my insides are caressed the pain slowly recedes and soon turns into a gentle pleasure. Alissa caresses my hair, Aoi licks my chin, and Gify turns on his touch until the pain goes away. Then I do the same for the bird until I can see it's back to normal through the sense sharing.

"Yeah this is bad," Hana says, "Meet a spirit mage and you are screwed.

"You really have to find a way to undo the bind," Roxanne says.

"Agreed. Hm, maybe if I..." I get an idea.

I grab the fuzzy ball and start to push it away towards where it came. Somewhat like the reverse of [Redirect Mana] I push it out of my soul and the fuzzy ball simply disappears. The bird suddenly chirps and flies into the window and crashes. Alissa hurries and grabs it again.

"Well... I did it."

"That's rea.s.suring. A bird isn't that useful for you, anyway," Lina says.

If I could teach this spell to other people it would be something like familiars, quite the exciting idea.

"I have to develop chants for these spells and teach other people, you girls would benefit from having something like this," I say.

"Possibly, scouting would be much easier, specially when you have an eye on your back," Hana says.

"Bind a Beholder and you are safe from nearly anything," Lina says.

"Except invisible a.s.sa.s.sins," Roxanne says.

"Except invisible a.s.sa.s.sins," Hana repeats with a sigh.

"What do you think would happen if you do it with a humanoid?" Alissa asks a glint in her eyes.

"Difficult to tell, the bird was barely sapient and he tried to take over my mind."

"Sapient?" Alissa asks.

"Intelligent like us," Ciel answers.

"Then let's test with something barely intelligent, perhaps goblins or Mossy Fangpines."

"First we have to know what happens when we kill it," I say.

"Let's use the bird then... sorry, it's important to know this," she hurriedly adds as she sees the pain in face.

I'm sorry little birb, you are not safe here.

We move to the kitchen. Alissa holds the bird over the stone sink and looks at me, I nod. The dagger slices, its head falls off and I feel my heart stop. My vision goes dark.

I felt "death", not only did [Battlefield Perception] trigger but I also felt the dagger run through my throat and the blood leave my body. Then I felt emptiness, cold, and loneliness. Aoi's feelings of her parents are a mere drop in the ocean of what I felt. Something was ripped from me, something very dear.

When I realize I'm already on my knees, head buried on my hands, tears flowing freely. Slowly the emptiness recedes and I start to feel again, the touch of the hug, the warmth of their skin, the fruity mix of smells from their hairs, Alissa's concerned eyes staring into mine.

"That felt horrible..." I mutter.

"I'm sorry Wolfy," Alissa's frown deepens.

I weakly smile and chuckle.

"You worry too much," I say.

"Look who's talking," she pouts.

"What did you feel?" Ciel asks.

­

"This is quite the dangerous spell," Ciel says.

"But incredibly useful," Roxanne says, she grins and her gla.s.ses glint.

"How so?"

"What if we [Bind] each other? Not just one [Bind] but two-way."

Holy s.h.i.t, instantaneous mental communication.

Ciel ma.s.sages her temples.

"Imagine if we can coordinate strikes!" Hana grabs Lina and Ciel's hands.

"Scouting and stalking would be much less dangerous," Alissa says.

"No one would be truly alone," I say.

Aoi suddenly sparks up from the table and jumps on my chest.

"No, mo-re, lon, e-ver."

My head hurts. There's going to be so many cons to organize this, but the pros!

"Gih, gig go-geh-gih-gah."

"Yes, the potential. But it's dangerous, so dangerous," Roxanne sighs and ma.s.sages her eyes.

"You mentioned that it became harder to "control" the bird when you reduced the points, right?" Ciel asks.

"Yes, the bird's mind tried to control me."

"What if two strong-willed but equally inexperienced humanoids are bound together? Could their minds mesh irreversibly?"

Roxanne sighs again but much longer.

"Only Wolfy can do this. You could act as the central connector, can you do more than one?" Lina asks.

"Could be possible but the bond is quite deep, I could lose control."

"Then we really have to test this with goblins then orc maybe. Alissa should be the first of us to be bound, if it won't work with her then it won't work with anyone."

"Kweh!"

"You are second," I say.

She snuzzles up on my neck and her blue scales tinkle.

­

We go take a bath. Emotionally exhausted I sink on the tub and close my eyes. I recognize Lina's hand grabbing my member and slowly stroking it. I open my eyes and see her impish smile.

I give a peck on her lips, then on her cheeks, then on her neck, then on her ears. I fill her body with quick kisses until she giggles. I pull her to me and finally give her a long tongue kiss. I pull on her small tongue and lick her palate, giving her a shiver.

I make her breathless just by kissing. I stimulate her tongue with mine, I plunge it deep into her mouth, I give a small bite on her lips.

I lower her into my erection and use her for my own pleasure. Alissa's hands snake upon Lina's body, she finds her nipples and play with them. Alissa kisses and bites Lina's neck, she turns Lina's head sideways and sc.r.a.pe her fangs on her skin. I suddenly understand why vampires are so s.e.xy.

Alissa rubs herself on my leg as she hugs Lina tight. She pulls Lina and breaks our kiss, she turns her head around so she can kiss Lina too. Alissa deliberately plays around with Lina's tongue on a way I can see, she opens her mouth wide and pulls back her lips, she plays around with Lina's greedy tongue who snakes out of her own mouth in search of Alissa's.

Alissa's hands move down and easily find the so sensitive c.l.i.t.

"AH!" Lina yelps as Alissa pinches down her c.l.i.t, hard.

I stop moving Lina up and down and instead use my own body to pierce her, giving Alissa an easier time in playing around with Lina.

I look at Ciel and smirk. Her face is tense, one of her arms is buried inside her legs. She doesn't want to show but I can still see she's furiously masturbating. She's not watching me, she's watching Alissa play with Lina.

Alissa suddenly stops the kiss and Lina's face turns sad. A bridge of saliva connecting their tongues breaks. She pinches her c.l.i.t again and Lina squeezes me with an o.r.g.a.s.m.

Alissa smirks deviously at Ciel, who shivers all over as she reaches climax herself.

Ciel's corruption gets deeper.

I finish all over Lina's belly and make Alissa clean her. Ciel is the first one out, she slaps her own cheeks and tries to calm herself.

Me, Hana, and Roxanne share a smirk.

­

"Careful, your grip is quite bad, you can cut yourself like this," Hana says.

"Didn't you have [Dagger Use]?" Alissa asks.

"Helps with cutting, not with gripping vegetables," Roxanne answers.

"Cut the Remmidy in half first, having a flat side on the board prevents it from slipping," I say.

"Oh, I see," Roxanne says, she nods repeatedly deliberately just so Aoi has to grip to stay on her head.

Like a child scared of pain, Roxanne awkwardly cuts the onion-like vegetable in small pieces while grimacing.

"Next we put the fire at maximum and keep stirring it so it browns evenly."

"So what's this brown stuff? Your world explains it, Wolfy?" Roxanne asks.

"It's called Millard reaction, though I think that since it's a vegetable it's technically caramelization."

"How does that work?"

"No idea, not my area of expertise, I only knows it works."

"Pff," Alissa scoffs.

Ciel quietly cuts down the meat alongside Lina. Lina tries to slowly move closer while Ciel slowly moves away.

­

I grab Ciel's arms and pull her around me, forcing her to be the bigger spoon.

The [Holy Spirit] runs up the sofa and kicks Ciel's chin, making her flinch. She wakes up from her stupor and glares at me. She gives me playful slaps until I remove the smirk from my face.

When going to bed Ciel quickly grabs Lina and smothers her, Lina turns around and hugs back. The two adorably sleep with their noses touching.

"Just a little push..." Alissa whispers to me.

­

Intermission 10

­

Tarano comes to get Farana and I'm left alone. I dim the lights and rest my head on my hand. Suddenly my chair doesn't feel as comfortable anymore.

d.a.m.n Royals, what in the h.e.l.l do they want with Rabanara? Kyros is not worthy of this response, something else made them angry. Probably something petty, their spit is worth gold, someone was probably just playing around with me.

I let a long sigh escape.

If only I had met him sooner, a Gifted ally would be perfect for me. As much as I review the information on him there's nothing that stands out too much, he's just a runaway n.o.ble like others. The annoying thing is that I can't find from where he came from.

All I can do is keep a cordial relationship with him, though he seems scared of me. Not that I blame him, sometimes I despise the Eyes of Authority but in the end they have done more good than bad for our family.

It's unfortunate he's taking the Misty Fox slave away but such was the deal we made with the Slavers. I'm sure the Fox Chief is satisfied with Ryder.

Well, what a waste. If he can deal with 5 women than maybe he has some interesting to show...

Whatever, at least I have Grosnok, I prefer bigger men anyway.
