Gryff the Griffin Rider 2
Page 26
Rakmar peeled himself out of the chair and I was left sitting there. I really wanted a whiskey neat. I raised myself higher until the booth table hit my thighs so I could look around and found no waitress or waiter. Probably because whoever he had around me ended up dead. I grew bored and contemplated looting the dead shaman when Rakmar returned with a female shaman in a string bikini. Uh, gross. Where were her clothes?
“This is Rozmak and she was enslaved for her rebellious thoughts. I have tasked her to dance when she is not helping you. The item we traded for provides five years of her contract. To our kind, I got a bargain. For you, see will help open many doors. I find myself able to retire for the first time ever. She is my thank you gift.” Rakmar said with a smile as he entwined yellow magic from her to me. “Use it wisely human. I see you staring at the corpse, it is mine. You will not profit from my killings. Don’t frown, Gryff, it does not suit you. Until later. Rozmak send him home.”
Rozmak asked where we were going and Rakmar provided her details. A portal was spun into existence and I watched the black magic swirl into a large black circle. It was expertly done. Good, I would feel less negative effects from using it.
“Good doing business with your Rakmar, keep in touch,” I said and went through the portal.

I stepped back into Lakeland with the sun still down and the clouds allowing the moonlight to shine brightly. Rozmak the shaman walked up to me.
“When will my master be ready to travel again?” She asked.
I ignored her question. “If I provide you coverings are you allowed to wear them?” I asked and then inspected our contract myself. It had a lot of leeway. Technically, I could keep her here at my side indefinitely as long as she was employed. The task, what she wore, none of it mattered. I reformed the contract to be exactly what I wanted. There were no loopholes or leeway now. She even had to answer to my wives and their concubines. I was her master and she was my tool to do with as I pleased.
“Are you studying contract magic? That is beyond you kind I thought.”
“There is much to me you will not understand. May I call you Roz?”
“Much preferred, what did you learn from our contract?” Roz asked with curiosity.
“You are my property to do with as I please. What did you do to offend Rakmar so thoroughly?”
“I was a rebel leader captured by a turncoat. We only wanted more food, our young were starving when our planet was overfished. The how of the why matter not, only obedience. I have been dancing for three years now. My collar and contracts bind me to obey and there is no wiggle room. Now I am at your command. I promise to be helpful if you treat me well. I would rather not dance anymore.” Roz said and I didn’t believe her.
Why should I? In the end, it hardly mattered. I would play nice for now and be rude later if I needed to. “Follow me, Bella may not have anything that will fit you but I have a new concubine Trish who looks your size. We will get you dressed, then I will ensure you have orders to not return to dancing. If you anger me though, I will not hesitate.” I said and I called for a griffin.
Gaius landed moments later and it spooked Roz. I did an introduction and the shaman cowered behind me.
“Enough,” I said as I flung Roz over my shoulder and ignored her soft tits touching my back. We mounted onto Gaius and he sped toward the manor. We landed and I stepped off the griffin careful to not trip. Getting down while hauling a wiggling body was tricky. When our feet touched the ground I set her down.
She bolted into a bush as if that would save her from a griffin. “Roz, if he wanted to eat you… which I am sure he does, you would be dead. You are under my protection. Get your green hide out of the shrubs and come to your master.” I said and snapped. It was as if the collar pulled her to me. I saw the yellow magic snake out and retrieve her. Huh, that was nice. “Follow me, touch nothing, and if someone talks to you refer them to me. Emperor Gryff.”
We made our way into the estate and I realized I had no idea which room was Bellas. I hollered in the second floor hallway for help when the Duke’s dogs bayed at my commotion. Which caused outside dogs to howl. All doors started to open and one of the Duke’s daughters shrieked at seeing Roz. I was cursing up a storm when the Duke himself made his way to us.
“What is this Gryff?” Riza asked. When he noticed my death stare he corrected himself. “Emperor Gryff.”
Normally I wouldn’t care. Except I literally had an enemy in his stronghold. “This is Roz, my portal servant. I don’t know her limitations on how far, how often or much can be moved yet.” I said.
The Duke stared in shock at our midnight hallway conversation.
“Is she safe to be in my home with my family?” Duke Riza asked almost rhetorically.
“Yeah… If she does any violation she turns to dust. Horde contract magic is brutal to slaves… Speaking of slaves. How many prisoners set to die? I need a hundred to turn into slaves.”
“Actually master. You only need ten for a minor slave market. The best slave market is a hundred though. Most noble cyclops like Rakmar avoid smaller markets.” Roz said.
“If you keep giving solid information like that expect to never dance again,” I said and Bella poked her head out with Trish and rushed to me. “Bella you are tasked with beautifying this poor thing. Her name is Roz, she is my pet portal summoners. Make her decent please. Go now with my wife. I command it. The Duke and I have important matters to discuss. Actually, all three of you join us once she is decent. Hurry along.”
Roz, Trish, and Bella left for our private quarters. I waited with the Duke while Lady Ona approached. She was the Duchess and current household mistress, so I invited her also. I asked if she could arrange snacks. Because, well, snacks. Lady Ona arrived with three female servants in tow before my wife exited the room. When they did join us Roz was in my casual clothes. I guess that worked.
“Okay follow me, I got a private room adjoined to the bedroom. It used to be a nursery but I converted it for the occasional middle of the night clandestine meetings.” The Duke rolled his eyes as he pushed open a door. Inside the room was much like the other meeting room from earlier. Brown square table that rested on a wooden floor with wood slat walls. A few of the Duke’s defining battles hung from the wall. Two torches illuminated the room as snacks and water were set for us. I picked a random chair. Bella on one side and Trish on the other. Roz stood behind me. “Okay Gryff, what is so important you woke us.”
“The sun only set a few hours ago… Wait, no sense in quibbling.” I said and drank a gulp of water. “Trish, can you cast a silence spell?”
She tried and it was poorly done. I turned and nodded to Roz who understood. She fixed the spell and properly enclosed us. “Oh, sorry my magic training has been limited. The mage academy rejected my application.”
“Okay, the shield is up. Next, I get to show off. This should only take a moment.” I dug into Roz’s yellow magic. I found my contract, nope not what I wanted. Looked for her imprisonment contract, okay I would start with that one. I expanded it, edited it, then I destroyed it. The room burst in a yellow explosion of released magic. Roz staggered and fell. I did not stop though. There, I found the contract that Rakmar had set to her. She was standing again by the time if found it. I studied it for loopholes or weaknesses. I found an exploit, expanded it, and shattered it. A shocked Roz staggered and fell just like before. “Okay, you all witnessed something historic. I broke her contracts with the Horde and the master of Vin. She is now my creature to torment and only mine. She is freed from the Horde. Anything said can be trusted in front of her.”
The Duke was the first to speak while Roz hyperventilated. “How can you do Horde magic?”
“I am half god,” I replied.
Lady Ona spurted her water out. She may not have understood the consequences of me breaking yellow magic, she did get this statement.
Roaring laughter rolled out of Roz, so fervently she clutched her side and hit the ground. Bella
was the first to speak. “Mother is Lily around?”
“I am afraid we have not seen her since yesterday, it is not unusual for her. She tells us she likes to play in the castle walls. Why do you ask?”
“That is Gryff’s mother. She is a goddess and Gryff is her champion. I have never lied to you nor is this a good place to start. Shaman stop laughing and stand up straight.” Bella commanded. I saw my contract for obedience pull from me to Bella to Roz. The shaman stood erect and went silent. Good my wives were to be obeyed. “Now Roz what has you laughing so hard?”
“I swore off the seven gods, I fought them as hard as I could when I realized I was another tool in their war efforts. I was never worthy of anything besides to be used. My family died of starvation… we ate them when it was that or death. I have prayed for years for salvation and a chance of vengeance. Here it is, I am aligned with a demigod of the opponents. That is humorous to me. I have a feeling we will get along very well my Lady. My contract to my master binds me completely. He ensured it did. So the question is why are you all privileged to sit before a demigod as powerful as my master.” Roz said sternly.
I broke the shocked reaction by getting to the point. I did want to sleep tonight.
“Duke Riza, I need a hundred prisoners to sell as slaves. I know it sounds awful but there are things at play that drive the necessary evil. I need you to trust me that it is vital. I also need a contract from you, Lady Ona, and Trish. For your silence on this matter so that it remains a secret.” I sent them the contract to secrecy and they signed it. “Good, I printed Horde bibles.” Roz interrupted me with a gasp.
I glanced at her and she went silent. Good, I could continue.
“This is big, we are not alone in the universe. Seven hells, we are not the only universe there is. I… We need allies. To do that I need a hundred prisons. A hundred you will never see again. Can you do this or do I need to go elsewhere?” I asked Duke Riza and he mulled it over.
“Gryff, you are my lord and liege by title. I admit I have prisoners sentenced to death. I do not like this though. It will be the most evil thing I have ever done as a Duke. Trust me, there have been some shady things. Sending a hundred humans to be sold off as slaves takes the victory lap though.” He paused thinking it over. “Can I know what your goal is?”
“I guess I did not expound it enough. I am going into the slave market, my key in is a hundred slaves. I will buy them back if I can, but I honestly don’t know how far I will go. I have forty nine more bibles to sell and I can make thousands more.” Roz was dancing behind me begging to talk. “Damn it, Roz, sit at the… table. My goodness, I want to curse at you so badly right now. Sit. Raise your hand when you have input.”
Roz raced around to the other side of the table and quickly got into the chair. “If your Duke will give you ten prisoners, I can turn that into a hundred goblin slaves. To be honest it is beneath most slavers to go to a small market and we will get undervalue for an overpayment. I can not get the ten back though. That is not allowed. Give me five bibles, ten slaves, and twelve hours. I can have your entry into the big slave market ready to go by then. I will bring one bible and the first thing I need to buy is male shamans. I know… I know… But I need a harem to succubus off of. The more males I have to steal yellow magic from the more I can move you around. Then I suggest you let me go to a lot of markets and move a single bible at each. I can do it alone, my contract is hidden from display to other mages, so it will seem I am worthy of the sale by a very powerful lord. Which wink, wink. You are. Master, those bibles will fetch a lot at the big market, not only will you end up causing an uproar. With that many, you may get challenged in one on one combat. Large trade planets like Kikra have permitted battles between two disputing parties. Both must accept, and of course, there are rules. I would like to avoid the whole ordeal or chance of that happening so I recommend you bring only one when we eventually do go together. Then buy as many slaves as you want.”
Duke Riza stood as he had heard enough as he yawned. “Lady Una take Roz to the dungeons. Ten on death row are hers. I am off to bed. Love you Bella, Trish. Good luck on your adventure being hitched to a demigod.” The Duke found his own statement to be hilarious as he went into his own chambers.
I fished five bibles out of the bag and handed them off to my shaman. I then handed her a pouch of stones I had been collecting which was the Horde currency. She inspected the bibles and nodded then tossed me back the stones. Most were fakes given to dumb orcs. Oh… into the trash, those went. I was told to be ready at the portal in twelve hours. That point it somewhere around midday tomorrow. Perfect.
I left with my wife and her sister. Bella guided me to our room. I stripped naked and shot under the covers. Bella returned to her nighty and Trish stood awkwardly.
“Trish, I am exhausted and I had sex today already. Come snuggle, if my sex drive returns in the morning we can work something out. You want her to get pregnant?” I said asking Bella. She nodded yes as she snuggled into me. “Great. You are family now, so come into bed. Also, don’t get offended you look great and you looked exquisite in your dress tonight. I also had to view a half naked goblin stripper for hours. Kills the mood.”
This got a burst of snorting laughter out of Trish and she immediately covered her mouth at the noise. I guessed she didn’t bring a nightie or sleepwear because she got naked. Her tits flopped out and her curvy hips swayed as she slid under the covers. I could easily work with that. She spooned into my side and my boner slid into between her thighs below her vagina.
“Bella it is huge… How did you survive?” Trish squeaked.
“Slowly. I am uncomfortable watching him with someone else so if you are going to tease him I need to go for a walk. Late at night, he cums fairly quickly.” Bella said and I went to object, then realized it was true. If I was tired I got the job done then went for bed.
“Bella will rise early and eat breakfast giving us alone time. Bella plant a kiss on me before you leave to wake me. Trish, will you watch me ravish Bella?” I asked and Trish bit her lip with a nod.
Perfect. I rolled on top of Bella who spread for me. We kissed passionately and got into a rhythm where I finished quickly. I excited and rolled onto my back ready for sleep. Bella licked my cock clean and then we went to bed.
∞∞∞
Bella woke me in the morning but did not leave. “You have grown too big husband. I think I understand why now too. When you were in me last night, you tore me wider. I healed myself around your new girth. I think Lily did it to help us with birthing. I may or may not need to heal all our wives while you are fully inside, it should help with delivery. I can be strong. You are ready…”
I looked down and sure enough, I had my morning chubby. I rubbed Trish’s little slit and found she was dripping wet with anticipation. When Bella told her to roll onto her stomach and bite her pillow – concern etched across her face. Trish was face down with her wide plump ass up high. When I slid the tip of my cock into her tight virgin tunnel I became stuck. Yeah… no way it was fitting without some pain. I decided to limit the time of pain. I glanced at Bella who nodded. She placed her hand tenderly on Trish’s back. I shoved aggressively, hard and deep. My two hands gripped her above the hips tightly as I plunged in. Trish tried to wiggle off my cock desperate to escape. I locked my hands tighter and held her firm as she screamed out in pain. There was lots of blood until the green tingle reduced the screams to a whimper and then to silence. I was still fully inside of her when Trish stopped sobbing. She collected her breathing and spoke.
“Well, that was awful. It feels good now. Take it slow please.” I did as she asked. “Rougher… too much… perfect.”
Bella turned away and plugged her ears. I finished quickly from the pleasure. I left my seed deep inside Trish. When I exited, her widened hole tightened back and cum slowly dripped out. I went to the end table for water. I grabbed a cloth, wet it, and then cleaned my cock as well as thighs of the mess. The sheets were ruined with blood.
I watched as Trish shivered in delight. That was a win in my books. The only thing that could improve my mood more was breakfast, which was next.
I dressed quickly and told the girls I would meet them on the bottom floor eating area. I recognized a few faces as I went down to the food area. I grabbed a large plate of eggs and asked for a second to be delivered. When they ask who did I think I was, I replied “The Emperor.” That got me some nods. I guess I needed some clothes with emblems on them. Awe… I placed my plate down and raced up the stairs. I barged into the two girls covering exposed breasts until they saw it was me. Big boobies! Score. I grabbed my sack, blew a few kisses and was gone downstairs. I reached my plate in record time. I may have used some aura to get back to my breakfast.
I grabbed my pen and paper to add emblems to my to do list. I liked plain clothes but they did not signify who I was. I figured a simple emblem over my heart would do the trick. I gobbled down eggs as I thought about this. The moment I was finished my first plate, a second was placed in front of me. The girls made it down in time to eat with me while I was on my thirds.
After breakfast, we had a few hours to kill until Roz should be at the portal. I went upstairs and had the girls help me gear up in my armor. I had all but abandoned my initial chest piece and kilt. It was cool enough for the heavy armor and better to be safe than sorry. I checked my bag, my weapons, and my gear. I did a few light exercises to ensure I was properly set. Trish was new to my armor, but Bella assured it was attached well. I was ready for the day.
When I exited the Duke’s estate I had requested a griffin to recon the wild lands near the city. It came back empty of Horde. The griffins reminded me it had been a month since a kill on sight order was issued. There would be no more Horde near any human city. That left me without bad guys to kill. I asked if there was anything worth hunting and got a no on that too. An eight man team was out right now chasing a deer they wounded.
