“The tea will not grant you skill,” Emma said as she sipped her own, “but it helps you to access that which your mind may not have known existed, but the soul does.”
“What is the price of this?” Druska asked in curiosity, in the Corporate Empire price and cost were like religion.
"Priceless," Leesha said, "you could ask any price you wanted for a cup, and the Elven Queens would pay it. For the recipe…" she looked at Emma, "you could demand a crown, and they might just hand it over."
"I have sent a written list of ingredients and instructions to the Academy," Emma said, shaking her head, "but I don't think they believed what it was, for I never heard back from them. It would be my honor to give the recipe to the elves, also knowledge of where I hunt for the rarer ingredients."
"They will add your name to our songs," Leesha said with reverence, "and give you a place of honor in the Queen's court."
“I would have prepared it for you all earlier, but I had no true understanding of its real power until I was Bonded,” she hung her head slightly, “I must apologize.”
"You are our sister," Druska said, "and a First-Wife along with Leesha, and you have given both him and us a wonderful gift, so stop such talk." Her gentle tone belied the harsh words, and Emma gave the woman a small smile of thanks.
Chapter Four
Druska moved beside the girl and reaching out a hand slid soft fingertips down her lovely cheek, she watched the girl's lips part, and her breathing deepen. Massive chest heaving as her big soft nipples hardened beneath the linen shift. The air in the room shifted, and Leesha set her empty cup aside, her grin turning greedy as she let her eyes roam over the two gorgeous women's bodies.
"I have always wanted sisters," Emma said, her eyes full of soft yearning, and cheeks flush, "even more than I dreamed of being Bonded… to find both prayers answered are beyond my wildest dreams…" a tear tracked is slow way down one perfect pale cheek, and Druska leaned forward, kissing it away with soft lips.
The girl lifted her hands and turned the alien woman's face, their lips meeting as warmth and love spread through them. Gentle silver flows of magic mixed with the deeper shadows as the girl pressed Druska back to the floor, their kisses growing in passion as their tentative tongues touched. In moments the two women were lost in each other. Hands were exploring soft and tender flesh as they slowly peeled each other's clothes off, neither sure in the arms of another woman, but both eager and marveling at the other's beauty.
Leesha pulled her dress up and over her head, watching the two most beautiful women she had ever seen making out with increasing need and passion. A stirring at her side caused her to look down, and she saw Braden opening his eyes. They cleared of sleep immediately, and he smiled as his blue eyes met her violet ones, then slowly tracking down her body. She felt a thrill of pleasure as he drank in the sight of her with growing desire. She leaned down and kissed him, feeling magic and desire throb within both of them.
Turning her head and his, they watched as Druska rolled Emma over beside them, the girl crying out in pleasure as the blond woman slid her hand down between pale, slender legs. One great nipple between her lips as she held the massive, gravity-defying breast in one hand, massaging it.
Leesha's hands were not idle, and soon she had her master in all his naked glory. Kissing her way down his striated muscles, they felt even harder and more defined than they had before his convalescence. She inwardly thanked Emma for the miracle tea, as her sex grew damp from running her soft lips over his washboard abs. His mighty staff slid along her neck and cheek, and she turned her head, trapping it between soft lips, tasting the sweet candy of his precum, the magic within tickling her soul.
Her master reached down and lifted her hips in a secure grip, and she moaned out in surprise and pleasure when she felt his talented tongue touch her most sensitive parts. She could barely concentrate on pleasing him as he drove her closer and closer to sweet release. Her need for him was too great, and she clawed her way around, pulling his lips to hers and taking him within her tight depths.
They made love with desperate need as Druska and Emma pleasured one another beside them, watching the two as they fucked like bunnies. Braden gripped the tiny elf’s hips as she rode him, her back arched and breasts thrust out. She came hard, stifling her screams behind clenched teeth and collapsed upon her master’s chest, heaving deep breaths. She slid off his hard cock, panting and looked over to Emma and Druska. The teenage healer bit her bottom lip and moved forward onto her knees.
Braden glanced over to see Emma with her massive breasts hanging down, smile in gently joy as she wrapped her lips around his cock and sucked his and Leesha's combined juices up, licking and tasting them both with closed eyes and a happy face. Druska's saw her master close his eyes and moan out in pleasure. She had rarely seen him so happy, and she felt her heart swell. She moved behind Emma and saw the tight young lips pressed together behind her bent thighs and ran her tongue up the slender slit, tasting her and feeling the girl wiggle in surprise and pleasure when Druska found her hard little clit.
Emma's skills were out of this world. Between her mother's instructions and her knowledge as a healer and at reading her master's desires, her tongue, hands, and lips worked him like a master fiddler works their instrument. Once Druska's tongue touched her, she struggled to focus on only her master. The alien woman had found her sensitive spots. The connection and love with these three others soon had her close to another orgasm. Her master pulsed and throbbed within her hand, and with lips soft and thick, she worked his head and felt her soul sing out as he reached the ultimate pleasure. Leesha was beside her, and the two of them shared his sweet treat of pearly liquid between them.
Leesha had never felt such soft lips and add that to the fact her master's magical release covered them, and she couldn't stop kissing and touching the beautiful girl's face and hair. She would have been jealous of the girl's beauty and gifts, but she couldn't be jealous of something so sweet and selfless. Soon she had the girl down on her back and was feasting on her massive breasts while Emma let her soft hands wander over the small elf. Her slender and sensitive body was so alive with magic that Emma felt little bursts of echoing power within herself, and she let the flickers of silver magic lick and suck the elf woman as they willed.
Braden pulled Druska to him, and their eyes spoke entire conversations of love to one another that words could never capture, and their lips met, and limbs interlocked in a delicate dance. Braden felt like the luckiest man in this or any other world every time he saw or touched this perfect alien woman, and she felt the same for him. He slipped between her legs, just as Emma's silver magic sprang forth, licking fingers of it touching Leesha and causing the small elf to writhe in mindless pleasure. All the while, Braden and Druska made love with a desperate intensity that culminated as the two of them, trembling, lips grazing one another, and breaths synced their sexes exploded with pleasure — leaving them shaking sweating piles on the floor.
They held each other touching softly for long moments, and then Druska with one final deep kiss for the man who had bred her, turned to her friend and wrapped her arms around the tiny elf and smiling down at her, stroking red strand of wet hair out of her delicate features. The two kissed, letting their fingers stroke down each other's sides and hips, up and caressing each other firm butts and then down flat stomach to touch each other at the same moment. Eyes wide, they stared at one another, love and friendship and pleasure.
Emma had taken her master into her mouth once more, as she looked up at his handsome face and passion-filled blue eyes, she felt warmth fill her being. She was happiest here in service, and the feel of the smooth, soft skin, coating steely hardness, was terrific. Soon he was stiff and at full mast. As much as she loved being of service and giving him the pleasure of her mouth and hands. As much as she wanted to drink him down again, she needed to feel his great beast of a cock within her.
Braden could wait no longer and pulled the girl up, hi
s breath catching as her massive breasts swung as she leaned forward above him, letting his cock press into her abyss. His eyes closed in bliss as her tight virgin pussy slowly sank atop him. Braden looked up at the sexy girl, with her silver hair and eyes, her gentle features twisted now in pleasure as she gripped his shoulders, ridding him slowly. His hands slid up her thighs and gripped her hips. Thumb hooking into her hip bone as his fingers flexed into her soft white butt. The girl gasped as he took control of her, driving up into her with powerful thrusts. Soon she was collapsed atop him, her arms wrapping around him and her face buried in his neck as their rhythm took them to higher and higher heights of pleasure. His orgasm when it came began in his tingling toes and fingers and rushed through him and out, both of their bodies gripped in the ultimate release.
The four of them collapsed, sweaty, happy, and laughing with one another in pleasure. Long moments of quietly just holding and caressing, before Braden stirred and glanced around, feeling strangely different, strangely healed deep within. He held out a hand and reached within for the power and saw to his amazement that he could clearly identify each separate force within. Like a rainbow of powers, he could identify each.
“What the hell?” He said in wonder as he felt at the magic.
“Master likes the tea,” Druska said.
"Tea?" Braden asked, and Leesha started laughing, soon joined by Emma and Druska.
"Let me tell you about Soulsing Tea," Leesha said, sitting up and crossing her legs, "and the second miracle that took place in this lumberyard."
The party took their meal together, and then careful of any watching eyes, slipped into the forest. Braden spent the morning in contemplation as they marched through the dense woods. Learning about the tea and how magic users trained and integrated their talents was a new concept, but he felt it was right, and it explained a lot. It was the difference between having power and being able to wield that power. The first threshold to clear before one began to master it.
He'd felt the magic grow chaotic at times. There had been an edge of danger when he drew on his power, unsure if he might pull too much or hurt himself or others when wielding it.
The magic within felt his now, in a way it hadn't before. It responded to his will with more alacrity, though not nearly as adeptly as when he wielded it through the sword. He could also pick the flows apart. Knowing instinctively that blue force magic was in opposition to the deeper brown power of gravitational forces. That red fire was in opposition to the aqua blue, water, and ice. The list went on with more flows than he had dreamed. Some were incredibly difficult to manipulate, and when he tried to pull on out and wield it, it felt like picking up a mountain with his bare hands. Time was one such power. He had seen enough sci-fi to know the problems when playing with time and had no desire to create any paradoxes.
Chapter Five
Emma padded behind her master, her eyes roaming his frame and appreciating his sure stride and firm… everything. The smile of joy never leaving her lips as she felt her power, like the breath of life itself within. Feeling trepidation at leaving home and all she knew, but more than that, she felt this was exactly where she needed to be. Although she feared she wouldn't be equal to the task. She could never have imagined befriending such people, like heroes out of a story, and they had invited her to be part of it. She spotted a silversage bush and bent to nip a few of the unflowered buds. Smelling the plant, she had the idea for a concoction, similar to her tea. The magic within opened up a world of possibilities, and her brilliant healers mind began to ruminate on different tinctures and potions she might brew.
Leesha's magic thrummed within her. Three aspects of power that completed a trinity. She racked her brain to remember more of the lessons she’d learned of glyphs and their discovery. Still, other than a couple of the basic workings, she had forgotten much over the intervening decades. Her sister, the great sorceress, could call down a bolt of lightning, and freeze over a small pond, incredible power that had seen her village and the surrounding lands become safer and more prosperous. Leesha now topped that power and more. She could feel the very ley lines themselves throbbing with energy, those corridors of power that crisscrossed beneath the world's surface. It was an arcane branch of study, and one with many mysteries attached to it, but glyph magic was the beginning steps down that path. She couldn't wait to return to her home and search for her mother's library.
They ate a meal of dried meats and bread buttered and drizzled in honey near noon. The surroundings were idyllic, but Braden kept up a constant guard. Druska, too, kept a look-out, the woman never losing her razor-sharp focus on protecting her new family. The rest of the day was spent pushing their way through the trackless forest, always staying just inside the edge far enough away from civilization that they could pass undetected.
Druska found a large tree whose limbs hung down to the ground forming a near-perfect tent that the four of them pushed their packs into and crawled inside. Braden and Druska trained in the blade for an hour, coated in sweat by the end. He felt terrific though, his limbs were flexibly and strong, and the process of empowering them with magic was so easy after drinking that exotic tea.
Leesha created a small, smokeless fire and attached it to a large stone, and they sat around it, warming their hands. The women spoke easily with one another, joking and chatting about their past. Emma was quiet at first but soon began to speak up once she saw that when she did, Druska, Leesha, and Braden listened with interest and added just as much weight to her comments as they do to any others.
Exhaustion took them one by one, and Braden took the first watch. The night sky was clear, and he looked up at the strange night sky and wondered for the hundredth time when he would wave up from this dream and back in the nightmare of his earth life. He woke Leesha and stretching and yawning the little elf pulled him into her slim arms, kissing him soundly before she stood and stretched, taking her watch.
They woke the next morning and headed out before the sun was fully risen. The nearest Leesha had figured, they were nine weeks away by foot from her home. There was still more than three months until she had to be there for the ceremony. It was just an hour or two after dawn when Druska came hurrying back to them, not bothering to mask her movements entirely in the shadows.
"Master," she said breathless, and he noticed she was sweating as if she had run far, "you must see this." She held up a rolled scroll of thick paper that was torn on all four corners as if had been ripped free from something. Drawn on the paper in precise details was a very familiar stone arch with the numeral one on the top. Written below it was the following:
WANTED:
ADVENTURING PARTY FOR DANGEROUS MISSION*
FOR
CLEAR THE DUNGEON – SAVE THE GIRL!
REWARD:
2000 GOLD DUCALS
FETED BY THE DUKE OF DALTON
*Visit the Adventures Guild of Dalton for entry
“Is this what I think it is?” Leesha asked, her voice strained.
"It sure seems so," said Braden turning to look at the newest member of their party with a concerned expression, "Emma, how’re you doing?"
She turned her soft silver gaze to Braden, and he felt warmed by the kindness there, and could also see the hurt and fear, but those were under control, "There is another waiting for us my Lord, she will be in pain and afraid, and my fear to go back into that darkness cannot match what she must be feeling. I would ask one boon, however," she said, and when Braden nodded, she continued, "I need a weapon. I don't think this stick will be much use." She said, holding up her walking stick.
Braden was about to speak, but Druska stepped forward and with lightning-quick hands, snatched the staff from Emma. Then she spun it over her upper arm, and under swinging the bottom end around so fast, it hummed before stopping dead an inch from the side of Emma's head, causing her hair to blow out and away in its wake.
“You carry a fine weapon,” Druska said, “and one better suited to you than a blade or blaster.
” She tilted her head critically and nodded.
"Those weapons do leave ghastly wounds," Emma agreed, carefully reaching up and taking back her staff. She looked down at the stick with wide eyes as if seeing it for the first time, "Thank you, Druska, that was… instructive."
"You will train with Master, every night," she said, and it wasn't a question, "that staff will work for training, but we will need to replace it for battle. Leesha," she said, turning to the small elf who held up one clawed hand crackling with dangerous red energy and a challenging stare. Druska stopped what she had been about to say and smiled a big evil grin, "you will train with Master in magics, every night." The elf smiled broad and nodded.
They found a small clearing that had been home to other camps in the past and dropped their packs and planned. Neither Emma nor Leesha had been through Dalton before, but both had heard of the rich duchy. Situated on the southern end of the great inland sea, it was a thriving port town, surrounded by fertile lands. Known for its gardens and vineyards, the only threat they faced were raiders who pestered the outlying countryside to the west. Being so close to the dark forest and the even wilder lands out west, it was a home city for many adventures. It was also, unfortunately, the home of the Bond Mage Helga and her Bonded Indolo, who had come to Emma's village searching for their group.
It was Leesha who hatched the plan in her devious little mind, and Emma agreed to it instantly. It took them a while to convince Druska, who hated the idea of parting with her master for so long. She had already nearly lost him to that poison. She feared what might happen to him in this town of 'barbarians' as she put it. It was Emma who convinced her of the wisdom, reassuring her that if any could make sure Braden stayed unhurt, it would be her.
