The terrible hunger lashed out and Trystan obeyed. Finger tips pressed deeper along her line, barely pushing in. The mage let a small smile creep into his face when moments later he was greeted with wetness. Nia's breathing changed but Trystan continued to toy with her. Honey spilled as Nia continued to wake from her slumber. Trystan on the other hand could not contain himself any longer.
Pulling away from her line, the mage curled fingers around her creamy thigh and parted her legs. Nia's eyes fluttered as Trystan pressed his hips hard against her round bottom. Trystan took hold of his cock with his other hand and helped maneuver his spear to her opening. Nia could feel the last bits of dream land fall away when something hard slowly pushes into her. Pleasure exploded as Nia gripped the bed. Trystan slowly pushed inch after inch into Nia, forcing her to accommodate him.
"Trys.....oh...Trystan..." Nia moaned.
The young man pushed all the way to the hilt and kept himself there. Nia squeezed and began moving slightly. Bliss filled their bodies as they joined but it wasn't enough for Trystan. Flashes of nightmares surfaced. Trystan could feel the horrid thoughts slicing at his mind like a thousand little razors. Anger boiled and the mage started to move with vigor.
Nia shuddered as she tried to shake away the cobwebs. Hearts thumped and the tempo increased. Nia found herself moaning louder and louder. Trystan took hold of her hip and held her in place as each thrust grew more powerful.
"Slow....down..." Nia moaned.
Trystan ignored her, pushing faster and faster. The fire mage bended at her hips to give Trystan free reign. A demon had taken over and Trystan simply wanted to satisfy its urges. The room filled with the sounds of skin on skin. The light moans intensified and wild heat washed over their bodies.
Trystan pushed at Nia, forcing her onto her stomach. Nia buried her face in the pillow. Trystan was on top and pulled at her hips, the tempo driving him to a maddening point. Nia could do nothing as the mage held her in place. Looking back, Nia could see Trystan's face twisted into focused rage. The pounding grew rougher and she gave an involuntary moan.
"Nobody owns me,” Trystan growled.
Nia stared back with wide eyes. Even in the dark room she could see his twisted demonic brow. Trystan growled again, eyes shining like two points of dark light. The mage pulled his cock and grunted. Molten come spurted from his manhood, spraying across Nia's back and down her round bottom. A smug expression melted into the mage's face as if he just conquered and marked his territory.
Long seconds passed before a bewildered expression sank into his eyes. Nia pulled away and collapsed in bed. Trystan stayed on his knees, looking down as if he just woke up to an unfamiliar scene.
"Nia?" Trystan whispered.
Nia sat up, hands reaching out and taking his. She gently tugged at him to sit down and the mage complied. Trystan looked around the dark room. Nia reached over to the lamp on the desk and hit the switch.
The light illuminated the small dorm room. It was barely ten feet by ten feet, furnished with a single bed, a desk, chair and one small window. Trystan rubbed his eyes as Nia eyed him with concern.
"What just happened?" Trystan asked as Nia held his hands.
"You seemed half asleep."
Trystan looked at Nia and eyes filled with shock, “Did I hurt you?"
Nia cracked a smile, “No but it didn't seem like you were totally there."
"I feel like I just woke up. What happened?"
"I'm not sure. I woke up to you taking me. I thought you were awake. It was a fun way to wake up but you were pretty rough. At the end there, you said no one owns you."
Trystan reached out and hugged Nia close, “I'm really sorry. I didn't mean......I...uh...don't understand..."
Nia hugged him back, “It's okay. I'm not worried about the sex. I'm worried about what you said."
Trystan turned and let his legs hang over the side of the bed, “I don't know why I said that. I was having some weird dreams. I'm trying to remember what they were about but they are slipping away."
Nia moved to Trystan's side and let her legs dangle over the side of the bed, “Is the stress of college getting to you?"
"No, I don't think so. It's only been about six weeks in."
Nia was quiet for a moment, “Maybe we are moving too fast?"
Trystan turned to her with wide eyes, “Never! I love you."
"I love you too,” Nia smiled briefly, “But maybe you're still working some things out?"
Trystan let his head hang, “I'm not sure what to say to that."
Mist flowed from Trystan's arm. A second later, a petite blue siren burst into view. Sylk stood naked by the bed, webbed hands rubbing her eyes. Trystan rolled his eyes while Nia covered a smile with her hand.
"I'm hungry Master,” Sylk yawned.
"Sylk, I told you we have to stop with the midnight snacks. You knew Nia was spending the night,” Trystan said annoyed.
The siren glanced at Nia, “Hi Nia."
"Hi Sylk,” Nia smiled.
Sylk looked down at her master's cock and then looked over at Nia, “I see I'm not the only one who gets a midnight snack,” Sylk's brow hardened.
Nia smiled cheerfully as she stood up and started to gather her clothes. The siren ignored the fire mage and slid down to her knees, webbed hands caressing Trystan's half hard member.
Trystan looked to Nia, “Where are you going? It's the middle of the night."
Nia pulled on her panties, “The bed isn't big enough for the three of us. Plus, it seems Sylk needs her master right now."
"I don't want you to go,” Trystan said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
Sylk let her pointed tongue roll out and licked a drop of come off her master's cock. Nia continued to put on her pants and shirt.
"I'm just going to my room. We can meet up for breakfast,” Nia picked up her back pack.
"Nia,” Trystan said as Sylk took his cock into her mouth.
"You need to take care of your familiar. We will talk later,” Nia bent down and kissed him on the lips.
Trystan watched as Nia pulled away. The mage hoisted up her back pack and went to the door. She gave one last look back to Trystan sitting on the edge of the bed with Sylk bobbing her head between his legs. Nia blew him a kiss and walked out, closing the door behind her.
Wet sucking sounds filled the room as Trystan looked down at Sylk. The siren was happily sucking her master's now hard manhood. Big eyes looked up as she continued to take wet inches in and out of her mouth. The mage tilted his face up and let out a long sigh, questions and uncertainty filling his heart. Fear loomed over his mind as he tried to make sense of what just happened.

The market was bustling with vendors and visitors. Trystan took his time walking down the crowded cobbled street. It was his favorite place to walk through. Never had the mage seen so many people in one place. His hometown of Sapphire Cove had a good-sized population but it didn't compare to a city such as Stukarr. Normally the mage would watch people haggle for prices and vendors shouting each other down to get attention but today was different. Trystan often heard people complain about the noise but Trystan found it fascinating. It was a remarkable change of pace from life on campus or even life back home.
The early sun touched the roofs of stone buildings. Trystan hoped the morning walk to his favorite cafe would cheer him up like most of his mornings but even he couldn't forget the dark cloud over him. The nightmares were getting worse and this time Nia was involved. The mage knew he didn't have to look into a mirror to know he had bags under his eyes and a slight drop in his shoulders.
The market started to thin as Trystan continued his slow walk to the cafe. For the first time ever, he didn't look forward to seeing Nia. The way he behaved last night cast a foul shadow over his mind and heart. Worry teased him as he wondered if Nia would take this as some sort of meaning that they didn't belong together.
It had been six weeks since they walked through the city gates. Bea
ten and bruised, they spent a night in a hotel to clean themselves up and rest before walking into the Elemental College. Despite being tired, they couldn't keep their hands and bodies off of each other. The excitement and thrill of being together was so much that their bodies were pushed nearly to the breaking point in love and desire. Trystan had never been so happy in his life. The world took on a dreamy haze and he often found himself grinning like some happy fool.
Classes started right away and Trystan felt fresh and ready to learn. The professors had no issues piling on the workload. When Trystan wasn't studying, he was working at the Stukarr Library, the largest library in all of Lurth. The first tour of it nearly overwhelmed him with shelves and shelves of tomes, books and ancient scrolls. It was nothing like the small book store he worked back in Sapphire Cove. The mage found himself smiling every time he walked through the big cathedral like doors.
Trystan looked up at the blue sky as he thought back to Nia. The two mages took every opportunity to be together from sharing a few classes, to meeting for lunch, to taking turns staying in each other's tiny dorm rooms. The beds were often too small for them to sleep comfortably but they managed.
Darkness stabbed at the mage as he turned a corner and continued down another cobbled street. The nightmares started about three weeks ago. Each one a different horror but they all caused him to wake up in a cold sweat. When Nia was with him, Trystan managed to play it off, saying it was something he ate. Now it had reached the point where he was sleepwalking. It wasn't the first time they woke up to make love but last night was the first time he felt he wasn't in control. Trystan knew he had some darkness deep down inside him, a beast that hungered for many things. The mage often thought most people had such hungers and urges. Trystan filled his poetry journal to such whims and thoughts but last night was different. It was almost like he couldn't trust himself any longer. Like something else was pulling the strings.
Trystan's head hung a little lower. Fears danced as he pictured Nia telling him that they had a nice run but it was all over now. She would take her coffee and throw it in his face, burning him as he fell to the floor. Nia would then take the moment to kick him a few times before dropping the bill on his writhing body and walking out, never to see him again. The mage knew deep down she would never do such a thing but it didn't stop the hellish thoughts storming his guilty mind.
The sad mage glanced up to see the sign "Lizard Girl Cafe" swaying in the gentle morning breeze. Pass the large glass windows, Nia was holding a cup of coffee and waving at Trystan. The mage sighed and pressed his hand against the door. Trystan maneuvered through the group of tiny round cafe tables until he reached Nia, her smile bright but eyes with a touch of concern.
Trystan pulled the small wooden chair out and slumped into the seat, “I feel like I should be on my knees kissing your feet."
"I won't stop you,” Nia winked.
Trystan slumped lower.
Nia put her coffee cup down, “Trystan, I think you are taking this harder than you should."
"I don't know what to say or feel. I barely remember what happened. I understand if you don't want to see me again."
Nia eyed him, “Was this how it was when you were with Freya?"
Trystan was silent for a long moment, “If I did something wrong then she found some way to punish me for it."
"Do you think I would leave you or punish you?"
Trystan looked into Nia's eyes, “No.....maybe.....I'm not sure."
Nia's eyes focused on the table, smoke rising from her cup of coffee, “The last two months have been strange and beautiful but what you said last night felt like your true feelings were coming out. Do you remember when we fought Freya at the inn?"
"I'm still trying to forget it."
"Freya accused me of making you want to leave her. She treated you like a possession for so long that maybe you haven't had enough time to sort out your own feelings."
Trystan stared at Nia, “I know my feelings. I love you."
Nia gazed back, “I love you too but maybe you need some time until you're feeling better."
Trystan sat silently, eyes sinking lower until he was staring at the table. A woman came from around the counter with a lizard on her shoulder. The woman eyed Trystan with concern but Nia pointed to her cup of coffee and then put up two fingers. The woman nodded and went back behind the counter.
Trystan sighed, “Are we breaking up?"
Nia gave a gentle smirk and reached out to take Trystan's hand into hers, “You can't get rid of me that easily Trystan Song. I was thinking more like we should start dating."
Trystan's eyebrow rose, “Dating? Like dating dating?"
Nia nodded, “We take a small break from seeing each other so much and plan some dates."
"But I like seeing you."
The waitress with the lizard on her shoulder walked over and placed two cups of coffee on the tiny cafe table. Without skipping a beat, she picked up Nia's nearly empty cup and walked away.
"I love seeing you too but this sounds like the best thing for us right now. It will give you space so you can sort out your feelings and help heal some of your scars."
Trystan stared at Nia's green eyes, “I haven't dated anyone before. I seem to sort of fall into relationships."
"Then this will be a good exercise for both of us,” Nia grinned.
"It still feels odd,” Trystan took a sip of coffee.
"We have been friends since we were little. Do you think I would abandon my best friend just because you're having a difficult time?"
Trystan swirled his coffee, “Since you put it that way, I do feel like a fool for thinking it."
"You are a fool but the best kind of fool."
Trystan let out a deep breath, “So, what happens next? I mean what should our first date be?"
Nia took a long sip of coffee and stood up, “Think about it and call me,” Nia motioned to the waitress for the check.
Trystan's eyes widened, “Um...okay....I will try and think of something. You’re leaving now?"
"I have to get my spell notes together before the big assembly at noon. The Headmaster and Headmistress will be speaking to the student body about the trials. I want to be sure I'm ready in case they decide t0 drop a surprise or two,” Nia pulled out a coin from her jacket and handed it to the waitress. The lizard on her shoulder licked its lips and blinked.
"Surprise?” Trystan asked, “I thought they were just going to talk about what to expect from the trials?"
"I talked to some of the older students and they told me that every year there is some new change or big surprise with the yearly autumn assembly. I'm excited to see what it will be this year."
Nia bent down and gave Trystan a deep kiss on the lips. When she pulled away, Trystan looked to her warmly.
"No amount of darkness can put out our light,” The red head smiled.
Trystan felt his heart well up. Instantly he wanted to reach out, grab Nia and kiss her fiercely. Instead he smiled back as she turned and walked out of the small cafe. The mage tapped his coffee cup, lost in thought. Nia's words echoed through him. Was she right? Trystan thought back to his few relationships and what complete disasters they were with Freya taking the top spot. Could he be suppressing how he really felt and it was manifesting in his dreams?
Mist flowed down each of the mage's sleeves. Trystan looked up to see a blue haired, blue skinned siren in a thin black bikini appear before him. The second stream of mist formed into a blue transparent slime with a curvy shape, thin waist and busty chest. Trystan was thankful that Sylk was wearing her tiny bikini. The siren and the slime each took a seat across from Trystan while he took a sip of his coffee.
Sylk crossed her blue scaled arms over her chest, “If Nia gets to date you then I want to date you."
Trystan tried to contain his smile but failed, “You’re my familiar. Why do you want to date?" The last word came out a little too sarcastic.
"I think it's only fair. You are our maste
r and you should make time for us,” Sylk demanded.
"Fair? You think it was fair that I told you specifically Nia was going to be over last night and no midnight feedings and you showed up anyway?" Trystan said calmly.
Sylk turned away, closed her eyes and pouted, “That's different."
Trystan drank down the last of his coffee. The mage didn't want to let on that Sylk kind of had a point. Since their arrival to Stukarr, he had treated his two familiars like an afterthought. Between Nia, classes and work at the library, he had very little time for them. It was only a matter of time before they started to make demands or lash out.
Trystan looked to Bella, “Do you feel the same?"
The blue slime girl sagged in her chair slightly, “We don't talk much. I was trying to be understanding. I'm not sure about dating but I would like to spend time together."
Sylk stood up and slammed her webbed hands flat on the small table, “You see! We demand date nights!"
The outburst caused the waitress to peer over the counter and a few cafe patrons to turn their heads to the noise. Trystan put his hand up. Sylk crossed her arms again but sat down reluctantly.
"Alright, I know I have been very busy. I will make it up to both of you. I will make time for each of you but under one condition, no more interfering with my time with Nia."
Sylk looked to her master, “What if we are hungry?"
Trystan smiled, “I know you can store mana for long periods of time. You don't need to feed every other night."
Sylk shifted in her seat but kept her arms crossed, “Better to stay full. Never know when you will need mana for a spell."
"Are we agreed?" Trystan looked to Sylk and then Bella.
The two familiars nodded their heads in agreement.
"Good. Now I need to get ready for the assembly. Bella, stay behind."
