“I was just a boy Your Majesty” Ray replied.
“That didn’t answer my question” the Queen replied sharply. “This is how it works, I ask you something and you answer, you are making me lose my temper”.
“My mother helped make the cull but I don’t know the antidote” Ray replied quickly. “I don’t think there is one in existence any more”.
“The Gaea passes everything by word of mouth Melody” the Queen replied. “Other growers, where can I find them?”
“I don’t know Your Majesty” Ray replied. “Possibly the great forest?”
“Searched already” they Queen replied as she reached back and grabbed the staff he had given the princess. “This staff, you made it?”
“Yes your majesty” Ray replied.
“Who showed you the technique?” the Queen asked.
“Nobody” Ray replied. “I just whittled down a piece of wood”.
“This piece of wood could outfit the mages in my army” the Queen replied then looked at the princess. “Your cousin Altaya, do you think it would be a good match?”
“If it is then her children could come out ahead of my own depending on who I am stuck with” Melody replied.
“The wood from this staff, where did you get it from?” the Queen asked as she set her eyes on Ray.
“From the trees on my property Your Majesty” Ray replied.
“I want those trees cut down and brought here now” the Queen replied.
“Y-Yes Majesty” Ray said as he stood up.
“Not you, sit down” the Queen replied. “I am talking to the captain of my guard hiding in the shadows behind you. Your mother, you said she helped make the cull?”
“Yes your majesty, she was the greatest magic user in the forest” Ray replied.
“I heard you beat up a mage, how is that possible?” the Queen asked.
“I am big and he is little” Ray replied quickly.
“You took a full on blast from what I heard” the Queen said as she stood up and walked around the table. “The Gaea were working on something to neutralize magic, do you know of it?”
Ray was about to tell a lie but felt the Queen place her hand on his shoulder. Right away his mind got cloudy and he couldn’t make out words. Ray looked over at the Queen who had a look of shock in her eyes as she gripped his shoulder. Ray felt incredibly sleepy and passed out as the last thing he remembered was Melody tackling her mother.
CHAPTER 4
Naked and Defenseless
Ray woke up shivering slightly, he was laying on a white bed and was completely naked. The sound of voices startled him once he realized where he was and saw he was not alone in the room, the Queen along with Princess Melody and two other people were there with him, both women who were both mages and older than the queen. Ray tugged his arms and could see he was strapped down, he felt energized and was sure he could snap his restraints easily but resisted when the Queen saw him move and walked over.
“This must have hurt” the queen said tracing her fingers over his body. “They even marked on this” the queen said as she gripped his manhood and gave it a little squeeze. “This had to hurt like hell, they even got your stones. Tell me, what is this all for and how was it created”.
“Your Majesty can I have at least a sheet?” Ray asked.
“Not in your life boy” the queen replied. “It has been a while since I have seen a naked man this put together and I aim to enjoy it. Now answer the question”.
“It was to combat Outsider magic” Ray said quickly. “Your majesty I beg of you for a covering”.
“We concluded that you were correct mother” Melody said walking into Ray’s vision and making no effort to hide her gaze. These tattoos soak up magic, when I burned him it only lasted for a second then I felt a great drain and couldn’t break free. Same thing with the High Mage and the Royal Healer, the tattoos seem tough to remove”.
“This must be a new position for you” the Queen said as she gripped Ray’s testicles. “A man as big as yourself is not used to being held by the tenders and yet here you are helpless to do anything. You took my mind magic well but I have other means of ensuring you tell me the truth. How many of you are out there?”
“Just me Your Majesty” Ray replied as the Queen squeezed hard, it took everything he had not to snap the straps so he just cried out.
“You wouldn’t be lying to me would you?” the queen asked as she squeezed so hard her hand started shaking.
“No!” Ray screamed.
“No what?” the Queen said as she moved her face closer.
“No Your Majesty” Ray screamed as the pressure subsided.
“If I find out you are lying” the Queen replied as she let the threat hang in the air. “Tell me, how was this done and does the participant have to be Gaea?” The Queen said as she started squeezing again.
“I don’t know” Ray screamed. “I only know that many mages were killed and their blood was used for the markings”.
“How many mages” the Queen screamed.
“I don’t know, more than thirty” Ray screamed as the pressure let up.
“Then the secret died with your mother, a pity” the queen replied. “As for the roughness I used I think it helps build character in a young man. Your things are with me, I sent your sister home and told her you weren’t feeling well. Your entire family is coming over for breakfast, you will act like we are the best of friends or they will be lying next to you getting my full attention. I will show you a kindness and leave you for the rest of the night, maybe you will find Melody better company, I am going to bed”.
Ray watched the Queen and the other old women leave as Melody approached him with a weird smile on her face.
“You know I have been around torture before but normally my mother handles it and it involves far less skin” Melody said as she traced her finger up Ray’s thigh. “Maybe you are just the victim in all of this but sometimes bad things happen to good people. Tell me Ray, do you think it will hurt if I tug on this?” Melody said as she gripped his shaft and gave it a little tug. “I know how to make it like me, you just need the right amount of pressure and slow stroking methods just like this”. Melody said as she kissed his chest and then began stroking him. “You feel it stiffen? That is because it likes me but I can mean to it if you want me to. Do you want me to be nice or mean?”
“I want you to stop” Ray said as Melody gripped it hard and yanked him roughly.
“I said nice or mean” Melody said in an angry whisper.
“Nice” Ray replied as she went back to stroking it.
“I thought so” Melody replied. “I had your cousin in here Ray, he told me all about you. He said you came into a little money and now you think you are big stuff. We checked your bank account, you have 300 gold in there and from small talk with your sister, between you, her and your mother you have around 70 more. I will buy the staves from you until all my mages are fully armed. Ooh you jerked a little, does that mean you are close”.
“I don’t want your money” Ray said as she jerked him hard.
“I said were you close?” Melody said in an angry whisper. “You know if anyone finds us you will be thrown in the dungeon at the very least, they are a bit meaner there”.
“Yes” Ray said and closed his eyes.
“Oh no Lord Riverdale” Melody teased. “I want to see those eyes, uh oh here it comes” Melody said as Ray released. “Look at it all, you must haven’t had a woman since you arrived. Wait a minute, was this your first experience with a woman? You better answer me”.
“Yes” Ray replied.
“How splendid” Melody replied. “Tell me what a wonderful job I did”.
“You did a wonderful job” Ray replied.
“Say it again, you didn’t make me believe” Melody replied.
“You did a-” Ray said as Melody kissed him full in the mouth. Ray was unsure of what to do as Melody explored his mouth with tongue. She squeezed him and Ray got the me
ssage that she wanted him to do the same. Ray explored her mouth and they stayed this way for a few minutes before Melody broke the activity.
“Too bad I have to go or people will talk” Melody replied. “There isn’t many things I can do and keep my lady gift but there is something that mouth of yours can do. If you find yourself here tomorrow I am going to give you a meal that many men would kill their own brothers to eat”.
Ray watched her walk away and blow out the lamp. He was in darkness now and figured he could get himself out but taking his mother and sister would be hard. The Queen probably thought he was a spy or held some big secret detrimental to the kingdom is why he found himself in here. Her and her daughter were deviants though, as soon as Ray could leave he would and head some place other than home. He would explain everything to his mother and they could move someplace else and keep a low profile. That idiot Gregory probably didn’t realize when he was getting manipulated and told them everything they needed about him. When he left there would probably be tails or spies but if he found any they would not live out the day.
CHAPTER 5
Melody
“Are you sure about that?” Queen Synfany asked her daughter.
“Mother I am not stupid” Melody replied. “There is a huge Gaea out there with purple eyes”.
“Your father as much as I loved him was a complete idiot” Synfany said as she drank a little ale from her cup. “He had them rounded up and killed, every grower he could find”.
“Why would he try to kill off a resource?” Melody replied.
“To stop the cull” Synfany replied. “The Gaea thought to long term, they were in the war and looked too far ahead. They of course had various other nasty traps, poisonous thorns, fruits and other things all throughout their forest, complements of the growers. I have sent in a couple of expeditions looking for more of them but I haven’t found any. When your father started this extinction he got his enemies involved because they were going through something similar. In a way I should probably thank the Gaea, the rest are too foolish to allow Gaea men in their borders, in twenty or so years we can attack either one of them”.
“So what do you want to do mother?” Melody replied. “I still have a party to get back to and have found a couple of suitors”.
“Any mages among them?” the Queen asked. “The damn Gaea spread the cull through Rosewood, it is all gone now but the damage was done. You would cry if you saw how many rosewood staves were destroyed before we found out there was a way to rid the staves of their infection”.
“There are a couple, I think I counted 7 altogether” Melody began. “Most of them though don’t have the stones for the job I need them for”.
“It is nice to see you in good humor” the Queen said with a smile.
“That reminds me mother” Melody replied. “The big Gaea gave me a staff, he even boasted he made it himself”.
“Well just throw it with the other junk” Synfany replied. “You have enough of them lying around”.
“No mother, this was a working staff with a great amount of power” Melody replied as she disappeared out the door for a moment then returned with the staff. “It is ugly, he doesn’t know beauty at all but it is more than functional, give it a go?”
Melody tossed the staff to her mother who went blank for a moment. Her mother was a powerful mage with the ability to read minds, while her mother couldn’t do much more than that the skill had proven useful. Melody smiled as her mother dug under her dress and removed the thin rosewood staff she always kept strapped to her leg, to use it a special slit was made in her dresses where she could grip the end of it and touch the subject. Melody had tried using the technique but just didn’t have enough talent.
“This staff is high quality” Synfany replied. “I have seen better in both functionality and use, it isn’t even cured properly but this is more than adequate. Few can approach this level, I think he has all but the masters of the craft beat but their weapons are more hit and miss”.
“He said he could make more” Melody replied. “Something a bit odd happened out there too, some mage was burying his face in the Gaea’s sister’s cleavage”.
“There is a Gaea woman out there?” Synfany asked. “Is she also a grower?”
“His adopted sister mother, he is a Riverdale and she is was their only real child” Melody replied.
“I take it that you are not that high up on the sister?” Synfany asked.
“Her titties are practically bouncing out of her shirt and she has a lot of curves and a form fitting dress to show it all off with” Melody said disgusted thinking about the girl. “Of course I don’t like her mother, she has caught the eye of everyone here with those titties of hers, luckily for me she doesn’t really have money or land from the little snippets I gleaned off her cousins”.
“It is probably in the food” Synfany replied. “Gaea magic is different from ours remember? They think long term, you said something about a cousin?”
“Gregory Treacher” Melody replied. “He claims to be a mage, he is a future Baronet and came here with his two sisters, I do not think they like each other very much”.
“Treacher was at the bottom of the list to look out for” Synfany replied.
“No way I could lie under that thing” Melody shivered. “Sweat all dripping in my eye while he grunts and groans, it is disgusting me even thinking about it”.
“You are going to be the Queen Melody” Synfany replied. “I am not going to have any more children so you will never have to worry about being replaced. You have no reason to be on the bottom, let the man lie in a pool of sweat and take the position of dominance”.
“I doubt my legs would fit around him and finding it would be even tougher” Melody said as she and her mother enjoyed a laugh.
“I want to know more about this Gaea, why don’t you call his cousin inside so we can start the interview process?” Synfany asked. “You don’t have to do anything really but sit and smile”.
Melody nodded and sent a servant to fetch Gregory Treacher, her mother wasted no time going to work on him and had him in a small trance. The Treachers had decent money but it was on the decline, the mines they held were now drying up and they needed to diversify their interests or alter their life style. Gregory was still a virgin but had done plenty of nasty things, his cock had seen the inside of the mouth of many servant girls, something he was proud of. He was jealous of his cousin and his new found wealth, he was devising a way to get some it and was offended that some girl who sat at his table was more interested in the Gaea instead of him. Melody forgot to tell her mother about the mage attack, Gregory brought it up and the Queen sent for Ray Riverdale immediately. It was always fantastic watching the queen work, her mother suggested to Treacher that they just had a lovely time and the Melody had constantly been staring at his crotch and licking her lips the entire time. Before she snapped him out of the trance she told Gregory that he was in a good mood and nothing could bring him down. As Gregory got up to leave his shirt flew open and Melody watched in horror as a button hit her mother in the eye. The Queen wanted to curse but Gregory pranced out of the room, the display looked foolish on the fat man and Melody followed him out and could see her prey.
Her mother started the hard questioning, gone was the charmer and out came the real queen. The Gaea was big but he was beyond scared by her mother as the Queen snapped at him for any little mistake. Melody watched in horror as her mother touched the Gaea and began shaking violently, Melody tackled her to the floor as the Gaea passed out.
“What was that?” Melody said as she helped her mother up.
“I don’t know” the Queen replied breathless. “It was like his body was tugging the magic out of me”.
“Is he a mage?” Melody asked.
“No” the Queen replied. “I got bits and pieces from his mind but it made no sense, like it was many people inside of it. Maybe he has something magical on him to stop our magic, the Gaea had been working on someth
ing, too many of our mages started missing before we finally wiped them out. Check under his shirt”.
Melody pulled down the collar of his shirt and was looking for a necklace but instead saw some weird glowing lines. She grabbed her staff and summoned a small blade of pure energy on the tip of it and cut his shirt a little lower, the material parted easily but she thought she may have nicked him. Her power felt like it was being ripped out of her, she went to scream for her mother but could not move until she was shoved. She looked up in surprise at her mother then the sleeping Gaea, the swirling line were an elaborate tattoo that covered his chest and was glowing. Her mother called in some guards, they brought him to the infirmary and used the straps to hold him down, the same straps her surgeons used when they had to pull out an arrow or some other surgical procedure that required the patient to stand still. Her mother had a plan, first the high mage tried to burn him a little, his skin soaked up the fire and started draining her before the connection was broken. The skin looked charred a bit as the tattoos started dimming in glow and slowly reversing what happened. The Royal healer tried to hurry the healing along but got caught up to, she was curious about how far the tattoos went since they were not above his neck line. Melody stood by a little shocked as the Royal healer cut off his clothes using a small blade and left him completely naked. Melody of course had seen a naked man before, she didn’t really think Gregory was too much of a deviant as she had made men pleasure themselves in front her or taste what was inbetween her legs during those moments her mother had to travel. But the Gaea was really put together well, she envied her mother as she touched his body and wished she could join in the game when the royal mage gripped his member and tried to describe the feeling. Melody had to turn around and started digging through his pockets, there was a squished berry or something inside.
“Mother what is this?” Melody asked as she placed the remains on the table and started washing her hands.
