“Sonja, he’ll come back!” Jayson shouted over the heat of battle.
The blue knight was back to her feet, sword in hand and fire in her eyes. Taking a stance, she readied herself. Jayson was already moving to her, short sword in each hand. The blue knight took in a deep breath and charged the two-headed monster. Jayson was feet away when she charged and kept his pace up as he ran after her. Balog was throwing fireball after fireball at the hydra. Lance saw his lovers running flat out toward the beast. Instinct taking over, he ran toward them and the monster.
“It’s not weak enough! We can’t take it on yet!” Jayson tried to reason with the blue haired knight.
Sonja slashed at the air, ghostly blades stabbing into the main trunk of the monster. The hydra opened its maw and fired another bolt. A black cloaked figure appeared next to Sonja. Taking hold, she pulled her with her, both knights tumbling to the ground.
“Revar! Stop the white knight!” Feverdream shouted.
The large knight was moving, his hulking form bouncing with each step. It was not enough as Lance skidded to a halt, twenty feet from his friends. One hydra head gazed down at the white knight while the other centered its glare on the blue and black knights. Jayson stood as the world moved in slow motion.
A chill ran up Jayson’s spine. Each head of the hydra opened, light glowing from the back of each throat. Revar charged toward Lance but the space between them was too great. Feverdream was stumbling to her feet as Sonja slowly stood up, rage boiling in her glare. A tsunami of confused emotions slammed into Jayson as he saw he was in between his two lovers. The lightness of the game faded into the background as real, full blooded emotion caused his senses to glow bright and nearly spark.
“Don’t make me choose……” Jayson said in the softest of whispers.
The hydra’s mouths glowed with azure light. Lance glanced down at his rapier, knowing full well he could not block anything with it. Turning his head slightly, his gaze met Jayson’s.
Calm fell over Jayson as he made his decision. Heart tearing in half, he turned and threw himself at the blue knight. Lightning burst forth from each fang filled mouth. Shards of pure energy blasted out simultaneously. Jayson crashed into Sonja just as a bolt slammed into his back. Sonja was knocked in one direction while Jayson spun in midair and crashed into the hard floor.
Haze and grogginess filled the player’s vision as he tried to regain his focus. On the floor, he turned his dazed eyes toward Lance. The knight was airborne, eyes wide as the energy burned against his chest. Revar lifted up a meaty arm and caught the knight in midair. Turning in, he put his back to the hydra. Light burst again and again. Lance looked up at the knight shielding him with his body.
“You owe me one,” Revar smiled as several bolts hit his back dead on.
The two knights were thrown to the floor, rolling from the impacts. Jayson tried to get up, his swords lying on the floor. Sonja was to her feet, staring at Lance as he tried to get up. Balog, Lance’s concubine, was running to his lord when a bolt of energy cut him down. The storm of attacks was relentless as Lance, Revar and Balog were blasted by two hydra heads.
Eyes watered as Sonja let out a soul crushing scream. The blue knight launched herself at the serpent beast. The monster stopped its attack as Sonja’s blade sank deep into its underbelly. Using its body, it pushed back, sending the knight to the floor, her blade still in the monster. Jayson grabbed each of his short swords and was to his feet when something green blurred passed him.
The knight lifted his blades as Gorganna stared up at the hydra. Snakes for hair, they coiled and writhed, their little eyes glowing. Gorganna’s eyes blazed bright as she focused her stare on the monster. Shafts of light struck each of the hydra heads. The large beast began to slow as it resisted the concubines paralyzing gaze but not before unleashing another volley of lightning breath. Revar was not moving as a bolt struck him where he lay and shattered him into light. Lance managed to barely sit up, his white armor scorched with black blast marks. One bolt struck him in the chest one last time before his body shattered into light fragments.
Jayson and Sonja had become unhinged as the light of their friend faded away to nothing. One of Jayson’s sword blazed with fire while another turned a frosty white. Jayson charged with madness, battle lust rising up. Swords slashed at the monster over and over again. Yelling, he continued his storm of swords, unable to control himself. In the blink of an eye, he used his spin attack, short swords sparking against hard scales and then splitting them in half. The hydra screeched as it tried to attack the knight but its movements were slow from Gorganna’s frozen stare.
Sonja dived in, hand taking her sword, she wretched it from the belly of the beast and hacked away alongside her friend. A black cloak appeared on the creature’s back. Feverdream drove her blade into the scaled back of the giant monster. All three continued their relentless assault. Hit points drained but even with all their attacks, the monster was only down to 30%.
Gorganna’s eyes stopped glowing. She fell to her knees as her ability used up almost all of her stamina. With the gaze gone, the hydra renewed its attack. Tail whipping out, Feverdream cried out as the hard end stabbed into her back like a scorpion. A clawed foot lashed out, hitting Sonja and sending her to the floor once again. Jayson continued his attack but doubt began to creep in. They were not doing enough damage to stop the monster. With half their team down, they wouldn’t be able to keep fighting for much longer.
Something gleamed as Jayson slashed and slashed and slashed. Eyes drawn to the shiny object, the player stopped his attack and stared a small gem embedded in the hydra’s chest. There was no way to see it unless you were close and Jayson was staring right at it, feet from him.
Feverdream let out another yell as the tail stabbed into her again, lifting her up and throwing her. The cloaked knight hit the opposite wall and shattered into shards of light. Sonja brushed away her hair as she stood up and charged. Jayson heaved his swords and brought them down hard against the gem. Each sword deflected but the gem glowed. He slashed again and the gem cracked. Sonja drove her blade into the hydra’s side and unleashed a ghostly blade. The hydra screeched as it whipped a head down and opened its maw.
“I love you Jayson,” Sonja said calmly as a lightning bolt struck her chest.
Jayson couldn’t bring himself to see Sonja fall. The knight brought his two blades down at once on the cracked gem, shattering it into glitter dust. The hydra let out monstrous screams as it writhed. Jayson stepped back, eyes searching for Sonja, only to find the last glowing remnants of her shattered body.
The two-headed hydra screeched and screeched as its body began to pulse and retract. Serpentine eyes widened as its body started to pull into its self. Scales and flesh twisted and morphed. Jayson turned around and watched as the monster shrank, body changing, armored clawed hands and arms turned feminine while skin shifted to a pale white. Dragon heads melted and reformed into delicate features with high cheek bones and perfectly oval eyes.
Jayson stayed where he was as a naked woman lay on the floor, two heads lay with flexible necks connecting together at the base. The woman moved and slowly stood up. Jayson stared at her as she stood to her full height, two heads on long necks. One had short red hair while the other had long red hair. Two sets of eyes centered on the knight and two smiles bloomed.
“Hail young knight. We welcome you,” the two-headed woman smiled.
Six
“Hail….um…Hydra,” Jayson stammered.
The naked woman stepped toward the wide-eyed knight. Sensual hips moved with grace while round breasts bounced, nipples pointed. The player was almost confused as the two heads moved independently, eyes scanning his form from top to bottom. A strange heat rose up to color the knight’s cheeks. Red curls of hair formed a triangle between her legs as she sauntered over. The woman’s body was toned but soft enough at the curves to give her a beyond sexy appearance.
“You have nothing to fear,” The head with long h
air said with a soft hiss.
Jayson could feel the grip on his swords was tight, “You killed my friends. Shouldn’t I be worried?”
The smiles faded, “We are sorry. The gem imprisoned us and changed us to our ancient form. We are happy to be released from our prison.”
“Prison? Someone did this to you?”
The two-headed woman nodded, “The trolls captured us long ago and forced us to be the guardians of the Vault of Knowledge. We could never speak or stop the urges forcing us to fight. By breaking the gem, we are once again who we were.”
The player had forgotten the reason they were there. Thoughts cycled through the quest as he tried to piece it back together in his mind.
“If you follow us, we can bring you to your reward,” The women said at the same time.
Before Jayson could say anything, the nude two headed woman turned and glided to a wall. Raising their hands, the stone face shifted and wrinkled before large double doors appeared. The woman took hold and opened one of the massive doors with one hand. Stepping in, her alabaster skin glowed against the primal darkness. Jayson followed, unsure what to do or even say. Thoughts spiraled on about his friends but he knew they were alright. By now they would have reappeared at their last save point. They would be weak and would need twenty minutes for their attribute stats to return to normal. Seeing them die for the first time in the game unnerved him, but he had to let it go. The love he felt made him act like a crazy person and only raised more questions. Why did he have such a big reaction when they died? Did that mean the love he felt for them was real? Will Lance be upset that when it came down to it, he chose Sonja over him?
The last thought covered the player’s mind in a gray gloom. How was he going to face them? How will their relationship work out after what just happened? Was this the end of their time together?
A light appeared at the end of the dark corridor. The two-headed woman continued to walk, the head with the short hair glancing back. Jayson followed, pushing away his gloomy thoughts and focusing on the quest. The corridor opened up and Jayson stopped in his tracks, eyes drinking it all in.
The cavernous room was undeniably large. Statues of trolls were carved into the walls, arms and hands holding up the ceiling. Intricate carvings lined the main wall to Jayson’s right while book shelves lined the other walls. In the middle of the room was what appeared to be an oversized, circular cushioned bed, covered in large pillows. A large fireplace radiated flames and heat not far from it. The two-headed woman walked over and hopped onto the circular bed, her feet dangling over the side.
“Welcome to the Vault of Knowledge,” two pairs of lips smiled.
Questions rained down from all directions in the player’s mind. Taking a deep breath, he thought he would start off slow.
“What’s your name?” Jayson asked as he stared at the feminine humanoid hydra.
“Kara,” said the one with long hair.
“Nara,” said the one with short hair.
Jayson rubbed his jaw and tried to hide his smirk, “Kara Nara should be easy enough to remember.”
“Feel free to look around,” Kara grinned.
Jayson took in his surroundings. Walking to the main wall, he inspected the carvings. At the entrance of the room, Gorganna slowly stepped in, her head down and shadows covering her eyes.
Jayson glanced at his concubine and then returned to looking at the carvings, “We will have to discuss your punishment later.”
“Yes, my lord,” Gorganna said in a hushed tone.
Jayson touched her crystal on his belt. The air vibrated and the gorgon disappeared from view. He knew he couldn’t call a concubine into a dungeon, but if there was no battle taking place he could send them home whenever he wanted. The player felt safe enough to send her away. Gazing at the carvings, he took pictures and filed them in his quest journal. It made adventuring much easier by not having to memorize everything in the game. He could call upon his personal angel, Sil, to show the images when he needed them.
Everything the knight looked at, a snap shot was taken. Various carvings depicted dragons and trolls, entwined in rather stark imagery. Each section was different, telling many different stories at once. It wasn’t until he reached the sixth panel that the player stopped and stared. Several female trolls with long hair stood, heads up, roses in their hands and mouths open. Before them, several long serpents gazed down on them. They had the heads of dragons but their bodies were snake like. They had no arms or legs and the lower halves disappeared into what looked like water. Light was carved around their heads and the serpents seemed to have hard stares on the female trolls. Jayson moved in closer to get a better angle when something about the female trolls caught his attention. Flakes of pink dotted the long hair of the trolls. The carvings were so weathered; all the paint must have faded with time. Jayson took several close-up shots of the trolls. He knew it was a clue and he guessed Oksuna had some part to play.
Kara and Nara lay on their stomach and gazed at the knight as he took in the carvings.
“I don’t think he sees us anymore,” Nara said with a smile.
“I think we need to warm him up. We did kill his friends,” Kara smiled.
Jayson stopped observing and turned his head to the two-headed woman on the bed. She propped herself up from her stomach, breasts exposed and light brown nipples showing. The player knew what was going to happen next and the sight of her only fueled the growing hunger.
“Sil,” Jayson said in a low voice.
An angel appeared in a form fitting robe, wings beating lightly as she hovered in the air, “Yes, my lord, how can I assist you today?”
“Please record all the carvings on the wall,” the knight said simply and walked over to the hydra with wanting eyes.
Kara’s smile faded the closer he came, “We’re very sorry for what we did.”
“We were bad. It has been lonely down here for so long. We want to make it up to you,” Nara finished.
Conflicting emotions ran through the player as he eyed the sultry monster girl. Part of him wanted to find his way out of the dungeon and go to his friends. The other part whispered for him to stay, to not engage with the possible trouble when he made it back to them, to forget about his troubles if only for a moment.
Jayson reached the oversized bed and climbed up. The twin headed woman let smirks slip as they eyed him with restrained hunger. The knight stayed on his knees before them but did not remove his armor. Crawling, the hydra moved in closer.
“How long…has it been?” Jayson asked out of curiosity.
“Too long,” Nara whispered.
“My sister is the queen of the understatement. We have been trapped in that form for nearly a thousand years, ever since the previous guardian was killed.”
Jayson looked to Kara, “There was a previous guardian?”
“There have been several,” Kara said as a right hand rose up and ran down the knight’s exposed neck.
Nara licked her lips as her left hand slipped between her legs, gently massaging their pink valley. Fingers slid between swollen lips. Jayson could already see the hint of glistening wetness on her fingers. The knight felt a tug at his heart as he reminded himself it was his reward from the game, but emotions turned tangled and sticky. Thoughts wandered and images of Sonja and Lance filled his mind.
The hydra sat, legs spread and under her as one hand worked magic, and the other pulled at the knight’s armor. Bouncing to her own touch, both heads let out a gentle sigh.
“Please sir, let us make it up to you. Let us please you before you go,” Kara and Nara said at the same time.
Mentally pushing everything away, the knight lifted his hand and pressed it to his chest. Armor faded away, leaving his toned naked form exposed. Nara moved her wet fingers from her valley and ran them along his growing manhood. The touch was enough to cause the player to suck in a gasp, his cock responding by jumping up. Fingers ran along the shaft, gently stroking and squeezing.
&nbs
p; The player was lost as Kara and Nara skillfully stroked his now hard member. Using their knees, they moved closer, closing the space between them. Round perky breasts pushed against his chest. Nara moved her head closer, her serpentine neck bending and lips touching the knight’s neck. Kara circled around, pressing her lips to the other side. Jayson simply stayed on his knees, the two-headed monster girl suckling on his neck and stroking his member between their legs. Wetness touched along the top of his shaft as they pressed it to them, swollen lips engulfing it along the thick member.
The sensations were overwhelming. Hands reached up and circled her thin waist. Fingers curled around her firm ass, moving her wet lips over his steel hard member. The heartache faded into the background. Gentle kisses turned into firm bites. Jayson grew harder as Kara pulled her neck back and kissed him on the lips. Nara continued to bite and suckle on his neck, licking him like he was a prized meal.
Kara pulled back, eyes meeting Jayson’s, “Please sir, show us how to love again. It has been so long that it has nearly driven us mad.”
Before Jayson could say anything, arms wrapped around him and the hydra flopped onto her back with the knight on top of her. The player was normally into a little more foreplay but a passionate fumbling of fingers took hold of his member and pressed the head to her wet opening. A moment later, inches sank into her tight pink opening. Jayson barked out a surprised moan when we saw how strong she was. The hydra clamped down as he sank to the hilt. Holding him, hissing moans rose up and both heads arched back.
“Fuck us like a dirty whore!” The short haired Nara screamed out.
Jayson looked to her with wide eyes. He tried to say something but the hydra’s hips moved underneath him to a caged rhythm. Pleasure soared as his own hips moved of their own accord, thrusting in and out of her tight opening.
“My sister likes to talk dirty,” Kara giggled and then let out a deep moan.
