The Ritual Of Neccar (The Adventures Of Pervikar Book 4)

by John Evans

  Suddenly, Golden Sunlight flew into Karina and hugged her tightly in a bone-creaking embrace. After the initial shock, she wrapped her arms around the quaking girl and held onto her trembling shoulders. Karina cooed softly in Golden Sunlight's ear as she looked up at Tenan's face. He nodded assuredly to her as if to say that this is what Golden Sunlight needed.

  It took a bit of time before Golden Sunlight could settle down enough for her to loosen her grip on Karina. Karina, for her part, just held her to her ample bosom and stroked her matted black hair. She kept from looking at Tenan to keep her lust in check. Finally, Golden Sunlight took in a deep breath and backed away.

  "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to," she said, hanging her head in shame.

  "You've been under a lot of stress," said Karina softly. "That is why we brought you here. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

  "You don't understand," countered Golden Sunlight. "I ran to you as a child would to her mother. While my people are free with their emotions as directed by the Great Spirit, to seek comfort that way should only occur within one's family. I did not mean to place that burden or responsibility on you."

  "I brought you here, so I am responsible for you," replied Karina.

  "But..."

  "Oh, shut up and fly!" interrupted Karina as she grasped Golden Sunlight by the wrist and flung her forward.

  "Whoa!" exclaimed Tenan as Golden Sunlight flew upwards with a shriek of delight. "Nice throw."

  "Thanks," said Karina watching the girl zoom through the air. "Do you have any idea what she was talking about?"

  "I'm not really sure. The Burgassi is a matriarchal society. I can only guess that you have taken on the role of being Golden Sunlight's surrogate mother. It's a position of power within the tribe, making you head of the family and giving you a say in the council meetings. Speaking of positions..."

  Tenan floated up behind Karina and wrapped his arms around her. Karina sighed as one strong arm crossed over her huge breasts and the other around her waist to hold her tightly to him. She could feel his hard cock pressing into the small of her back. She placed her arms over his.

  "What's your pleasure?" she asked. "From the front or the rear? In my ass?" Karina shivered a little bit in delight at that thought. She then pulled his arms apart and floated around to face him. She then gripped his cock with both hands. "How about a blowjob so intense it'll curl your toes?"

  Tenan inhaled sharply as Karina lightly scratched her fingernails over his balls.

  "Can't decide?" teased Karina, lightly stroking his hard manhood. "Well, I think I saw your toes curl, so..."

  Before Tenan could say anything, Karina quickly floated downward and sealed her lips around the head of his prick. Tenan hissed and jerked as Karina lashed her tongue around and around the sensitive knob of his cock. The pleasure was so intense that it was almost painful and he fought hard not to climax. Karina pulled it out of her mouth only to lick it in long slow strokes from the base to the tip.

  Karina held Tenan's cock around the base with her thumb and forefinger. As soon as it was all wet and shiny, she let it go and winked up at Tenan. She gripped his hips and pulled him forward as she opened her mouth.

  Tenan shuddered as half of his cock disappeared into her hot, wet mouth. He was not ready when she started to push and pull on his hips, fucking his hard shaft in and out of her mouth. Tenan placed his hands on top of hers to steady himself. More and more of his cock was sliding down her throat and the pressure in his balls was building. Karina had her lips firmly sealed around the thick shaft and kept going forward until her nose was pressed into his pubic hair.

  Karina surprised Tenan again when she pushed his hips out quickly and pulled them back in again even faster. Her nose banged into his pelvis. Tenan grunted at the quickness of all eight inches of cock being sheathed into her throat again. He did not have time to think on it as Karina continued to roughly fuck his cock in and out of her mouth. Tenan gripped her hands to slow her down, but Karina stopped only long enough to move his hands onto her head and tug on them to move her head back and forth on his cock.

  "You sure?" asked Tenan tentatively.

  Karina gave a short nod, which produced a very strange sensation on his cock all the way down the throat. She replaced her hands on his hips and pulled them back and forth. Tenan began to gently fuck his cock in and out of her mouth, but jerked forward when she sank her fingernails into his buttocks. He took the hint and shoved his prick into her throat the way she wanted it.

  Karina could feel Tenan relax as his cock fucked its entire length in and out of her mouth. It was only the second time she had taken him deep into her throat. The first time had been when Gar had fucked her up the ass and had pushed her forward while she had Tenan's cock in her mouth. The ogre god Ahhspah had not altered her mouth the way he had her cunt and ass, and Karina was actually thrilled that she could manage to get all of Tenan's cock into her mouth. She also suspected that Tenan liked oral sex best and the way he was pistoning in and out of her mouth right now seemed to confirm it. Karina's lust was rising, but she was managing to hold it in check. Karina's eyes widened when she felt a pair of hands on her thighs.

  With Tenan holding her head tight, Karina could do nothing as the hands separated her legs and gentle fingers stroked over the wet folds of her pussy. She shivered as the fingers slowly parted her slit and a tongue darted in against her clitoris. The tongue continued to lick at her moist slit as Karina released Tenan's hips and reached out to pull the other person's body closer to her. Karina's hands roamed over the lithe, athletic body. She knew it was Golden Sunlight when her hands contacted the pert tits with hardened nipples. Karina pulled Golden Sunlight around enough so that her hands could travel down to the juncture of Golden Sunlight's legs and the damp pussy beyond.

  Tenan was breathing heavily as he continued his thrusting into Karina's mouth. Karina had set the pace for him and he kept at it, all eight inches of his cock sinking in and out of Karina's hot mouth. Karina was quivering in passion as Golden Sunlight's tongue delved, laved, lashed, and licked Karina's pussy. She returned the favor by having two fingers sawing in and out of Golden Sunlight's tight cunt.

  Tenan, over stimulated by the unbridled sex and Karina's oral ministrations, could not hold back. With a loud cry, his whole body arched backwards making his cock the thrusting point of his entire being. Even his hands were forced away from Karina's head by his muscle contractions. Karina tightened her lips around the base of his cock as she felt it pulsate in her throat. Her esophagus instinctively swallowed his torrent of hot spunk. Her satisfaction turned to amazement at both the length of his climax and her ability to hold her breath. Her air was just starting to run out when Tenan slumped forward, pulling his glistening cock out of her mouth.

  Karina did not have time to savor her sweet success of Tenan's climax. Her own passion was wracking her body as Golden Sunlight worked her tongue deep into Karina's hot pussy. Karina could feel her body tensing up in anticipation of her impending orgasm. A split-second before she came, Karina felt Golden Sunlight's body jerk and warm fluids gush out over her fingers, which were buried deep in the girl's cunt. Karina then shuddered, her breasts jiggling as her passion soared, and she felt her own juices flow out of her loins.

  All three of them floated apart, everyone gasping as if each breath would be their last. Karina, thanks to her enhanced stamina, recovered first and floated over to Tenan. He smiled at her as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

  "Are you okay?" he asked after kissing her.

  "Yes, I'm under control," Karina laughted. "Golden Sunlight saw to that."

  "My pleasure, mother," cooed Golden Sunlight, floating over to join them. "I've never seen anyone take in a whole cock like that. How did you manage it? I gag if I suck on too much of a man's cock."

  "It has to do with the proper angle, loosening your throat, breathing control, and suppressing your gag reflex," said Karina. "I found out by accident how to do it."

  "Mag
ic?" asked Tenan.

  "No, Gar would have told me if Ahhspah had changed me like that," said Karina. "No, I found out when Gar was in my ass and he pushed me forward while I had your cock in my mouth."

  "That must have been quite an education," said Golden Sunlight with a smile. "Thank you for bringing me here, mother. I feel alive again."

  "It was my pleasure, but I'm not your mother," said Karina. "I would do this for anyone who needed it. I can't replace your real mother."

  "Nor would you," corrected Golden Sunlight. "The word 'mother' has many meanings in our tribe. You have not replaced her as much as supplanted her."

  "It means the same thing," argued Karina.

  "Not in our tribe," countered Golden Sunlight. "Your importance is now in front of hers in my eyes, but she is not gone. Nanago can explain it better than I can. What you need to know is that I see you as my mother. We will let you know where the tribe is after we have found Morning Mist."

  Tenan's eyebrows went up at the absolute confidence Golden Sunlight expressed at their ability to find Morning Mist. Karina knew from Tenan's descriptions that the Petra Swamp was more than just a little dangerous. Golden Sunlight was not that scared little girl she was when Karina pulled her into this realm. She was more like her old self.

  "I want you both to be especially careful," said Karina, touching Golden Sunlight on the cheek. "When should I contact you again?"

  "I feel we are almost at the heart of the swamp," said Tenan. "We should find something soon, something other than the various pug-uglies and creatures we have been running into. Let's say fourteen days. I have to ask you not to contact us before that."

  Karina hid her shiver of apprehension and nodded that she understood. Tenan had told her before that he had to keep his mind focused because a mistake in the swamp would be fatal.

  "Are you satisfied?" she asked them.

  "Yes," they answered and both Tenan and Golden Sunlight disappeared.

  The pink clouds faded to be replaced by the oak timbers of the brig. Karina sighed wishing that the end of her tryst had not been with Tenan reminding her of how dangerous the Petra Swamp really was. She prayed to the Gods to keep them both safe. Karina headed for her cabin for what she knew would be a restless night's sleep.

  Chapter 6: Firehold

  It was early in the morning six days later when Karina awoke from a sound sleep. She stared up at the wood ceiling wondering what had awoken her. It took her a few moments before she realized what is had been. The pitch of the ship had changed along with the sound of the wind, the creak of the timbers, and the thump of feet overhead. Karina swung her legs over the side of her bed and reached for her robe.

  "If it's important, give me a yell," muttered Lorilei sleepily before rolling over to her other side.

  Karina stuck her tongue out at Lorilei before pulling on her robe and heading topside. The captain was talking to the bosun on the quarterdeck. Karina looked up and saw the crew taking in the sails.

  "Morning, miss," greeted the captain, touching the brim of his hat.

  "Good morning. What is happening?"

  "Land," replied the captain, pointing off the port bow.

  Karina stared and she could discern a dark mass on the horizon. She jumped when a bright red flash erupted from the top of the mass.

  "Volcano," chuckled the captain at Karina's start. "How do you think Firehold got its name?"

  "Will we arrive tonight?" asked Karina.

  "No, I tend to be a cautious man. I like to see what's on the pier before I tie up to it. Why don't you go back to sleep. It'll be several hours before we dock."

  "I'll try," said Karina before she headed back to her cabin.

  Karina cat-napped the rest of the night away. Excited and apprehensive of what could be waiting for her on the island, she kept waking up every half an hour or so. She finally gave up on sleeping as the sun began to peek over the horizon. Karina filled a basin with water, took off her nightgown, and washed her face and arms. Lorilei harrumphed and propped herself up on her elbows.

  "You're bound and determined to get up this early, aren't you, dearie?" asked Lorilei sarcastically while staring reproachfully at Karina through her tousled hair.

  "Go back to sleep," said Karina.

  "Oh, Shades! I'm awake now!" cursed Lorilei. She then froze as she was getting out of her bed. "I guess I'm going to have to watch what I say considering who we will be seeing."

  Lorilei then waved a hand at Karina's humongous breasts. "Do you mind covering them up? I keep getting these feelings of inadequacy every time I see them out in the open."

  Karina laughed. "Try holding a conversation with a man who can't look above them. I was talking to a courtier one time, I'd twist left and his head would turn right, I'd turn right and his head would turn left. It was like his eyeballs were leased to my cleavage. If I had turned completely around I think his head would have twisted off. Of course, you've tried on my form before."

  Lorilei smiled. "And as I told you, dearie, that was an illusion. There was no substance from my point of view, but I can see where you are coming from."

  Karina bound up her breasts and pulled on a blouse and a dress. She turned back to face Lorilei.

  "Can I ask you something that you'll answer truthfully?"

  "Depends on the question, dearie."

  "How is Helga as a witch? I mean, how good will she be?" asked Karina.

  "You mean good as in you're kind of good and I'm evil, or do you mean how powerful will she be?" asked Lorilei. "Don't answer that. Her upbringing and life itself will mold her character towards one alignment or another. Being a witch really doesn't push her one way or the other. As for how powerful she will become, with the proper motivation, drive, determination, and training she could well surpass me in several years."

  Before Karina could reply, there was a knock on the door. Karina opened it a crack to see who was there and then opened it all the way to allow Genese to enter. Genese was carrying a laden tray.

  "Breakfast for two," announced Genese, setting the tray down. "According to the captain, we should be docking around noon."

  "Does this mean things are back to normal?" asked Lorilei, eyeing the steaming mugs and warm bread.

  "Define normal," replied Genese. "To snub you in front of other people would bring unwanted attention to myself and thus to all of us. You now understand my position and I will be treating you the same as I did before."

  Lorilei laughed. "Then things are back to normal and I will keep my promise to you."

  Genese looked baffled for a moment. "What promise?"

  "Why not to use any more magic on the crew, dearie."

  Genese snorted and left the cabin as Karina hid her smile behind her hands. She and Lorilei ate heartily and went up to catch their first glimpse of land in several weeks.

  The island loomed large off the port bow. Karina's breath caught in her throat at its majesty in front of her eyes. The entire island surface undulated with sharp hills, deep valleys, and sheer cliffs. A waterfall fell several hundred feet from the top of a cliff before splashing down into a deep cut between two hills. The whole island was covered in lush green vegetation. A rumble made Karina look even higher. A towering volcano dominated the skyline. Billowing smoke and fiery sparks issued forth from the very top of it.

  "Impressive, isn't it?" asked the captain, coming up from behind Karina and Lorilei. "If it ever decides to blow though," he shuddered at the thought. "Well, let's just say, I hope I'm not here. This is the easternmost island and the largest. You can see some of the other ones off the starboard side."

  Karina looked to the right and saw a number of other islands, some close and some off by the horizon. The ocean seemed dotted with all sorts of watercraft. There were small outriggers, galleys, large merchantmen, and a couple of warships, all sailing between the various islands.

  "Firehold's coming in sight now," commented the captain.

  Karina looked ahead and saw the city appear from a
round a spur of land. It was unlike any other city she had seen before. It was terraced up the side of a sheep hillside and large stone quays reached out into the bay like fingers. The buildings seemed impossibly tall until Karina realized that it was because of the steep grade of the hillside. Wide stone steps were in abundance as well as numerous bridges linking the buildings together. Each building was topped by a plaza or landscaped garden. Two massive fortresses guarded the harbor as towers and a tall stone wall protected the city from the landward side.

  "It's beautiful!" gasped Lorilei as she gazed at the breathtaking city.

  "Aye, it is," replied the captain. "Ah, here comes the custom officer, if you will excuse me."

  The captain turned and bellowed out orders to take in the sails. A small sailboat was cutting through the waves towards their brig. A man in a uniform stood rock steady on its deck. The sailboat cut around the brig and came up alongside. The custom officer nimbly jumped from one ship to the other and climbed up over the rail. He saluted the quarterdeck before turning to face the captain.

  "Officer Emilio Vargas, captain," he said in a rich voice. "Good to see you again. May I see your crew roster and manifest, please?"

  "Of course, Officer Vargas," said the captain, handing over the manifest papers. "May I introduce Baroness Karina and Lady Lorilei? They and their maid will be staying in your fair city. Would you like to conduct the inspection?"

  "I think we can dispense with the inspection this time," said Vargas casually. "After all, I know your manifest is an accurate portrayal of what we would find."

  "Excuse me," interrupted Karina. "Did you just call the captain a thief?"

  "Of course not, Baroness!" exclaimed Vargas in mock affront. His white teeth gleamed in a smile as his dark eyes twinkled in amusement. "Not anymore than the captain would call me a pinching, conniving blackmailer who extorts exorbitant tolls out of honest merchants."
