I replied, “Diviners are tough, but without others to protect us we can be fairly easily overwhelmed. Like I depend on you, and all the people in fleet, when I’m tearing a ward apart piece by piece. With Amara and the other two elves there, protecting me and the others from being suppressed, the best thing I could do is suppress and block the defenses of the normal wielders on their side. Then the troops can attack, and hopefully overwhelm whatever defenses are left.
“So… in short the best thing is for me to attack their escort, and their escort’s magic. It will still be hard though, Amara, Ashera, and Gorwin will be able to stop their suppression of us, but they’ll still be able to tear down our defenses and steal our magic as well.
“In essence, we’ll be on even ground, except for their escort. I can suppress their escort, so that will be what makes the difference I think.”
I hoped.
Sharon asked, “And if that doesn’t work?”
I sighed, “Then I kill them with my super-secret weapon of course.”
Lia snickered, “What super-secret weapon?”
I shook my head, and said teasingly, “It wouldn’t be a super-secret if I told everyone.”
Amara kissed me softly, and I felt Daphne crawl up my side, and start to kiss my neck.
Sharon started to stroke my cock slowly, and said in a faux sneaky and persuasive voice, “Come on Tony, you can tell us.”
I started to laugh, a truly mirthful laugh, evil women.
Sharon started to stroke lower on my base, and I felt Lia’s mouth take in my tip and suck as she swirled her tongue around the tip.
I gasped, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk, just don’t stop!”
Sharon giggled, and I felt her other hand start to cup my balls, and tease my taint and rose bud with her nails.
I didn’t stand a chance against four of them, and just having cum or not, all of their attentions were too intense. I grunted just a minute later, and thrust up into Lia’s sexy little mouth as I exploded and painted her throat with my seed.
I looked down, Amara and Daphne were still kissing either side of my neck, and I watched as Lia and Sharon shared my seed with a hot tongue kiss.
I said, “It’s knowledge from my world, and the first weapon I ever made with my ability. It was how I killed and escaped from the first diviner. It will also change this world in a big way if the knowledge became general. There is literally no passive defense against it, if your caught out in the open you’re just going to die, and it could kill easily from a couple of thousand feet. You sure you want to know? Because I will tell you all, but only you. The idea of that knowledge getting out scares me.”
The whole time I’d been talking, I’d snaked my hands between Amara and Daphne’s legs. My magical fingers were increasing their passion, and breathlessness, as they continued to kiss and nibble on my neck. I was also getting hard again, and Sharon wasted no time in mounting me.
Lia played with my balls, and rubbed her pussy up and down my leg while Sharon rode me, while Amara and Daphne started to rock and fuck themselves on my fingers.
I was in heaven.
Lia said, “We won’t tell anyone, and now I’m really curious.”
I grunted as Sharon ground down and arched her back, she was also pulling and twisting her own nipples as she stared down into my eyes while she moved her body above me erotically.
I felt Lia pull my legs farther apart, and then felt her tongue on my taint and balls, while Sharon started to bounce up and down my shaft, a look of intense pleasure and concentration on her face.
I almost exploded, when Amara and Daphne stopped kissing my neck, and started kissing each other just inches from my face, while their bodies bucked and exploded in ecstasy on my fingertips. Sharon went off shortly after, but I just rode it through since I’d already cum twice now, and when she finished exploding on me, she got off, and my sweet petite Lia took her place, and impaled her tight sex on my cock.
The next couple of hours, they all took rides on top, while the others moved around my body to my fingers, and my face, and all were sated in the end. I’d cum at least two more times myself.
Though the conversation dropped hours ago, I knew exactly what she meant when Amara asked, “So, what is it?”
I sighed, why did I open my big mouth? I did trust them of course, so I told them all about my laser, and how I could turn any magical light into a weapon.
They were skeptical at first, that light could actually generate that much heat, until I burned a hole through a couch cushion with a split-second focus of the light in the room. Even limiting it to a split second, there was a burn spot on the wardrobe behind it.
“Still, it’s a last resort, and even then I’d be reluctant. Imagine a world where an assassin could kill Daphne from a thousand yards away, while she simple looks out of our bedroom window. The light isn’t magic in itself, and of course it could be blocked by enough stone, or dissipated through ice, or a few other things, but there’d be no way to always be ready with that sort of thing, and it only takes a split second to kill.
“I really don’t want to live in that world.”
I might be able to come up with a ward against it, but even then…
Sharon sighed, “You’re killing my after bliss with the gloom and doom, but yeah, that sounds bad.”
Lia snorted, and I heard a spank, and Sharon gasped.
I chuckled, which was a mistake, because they both attacked me at that point.
Of course, I was mock wrestling with four naked women in my bed, win or lose… there really wasn’t a way I could lose… I was even fairly sure round five was a possibility.
Chapter Fourteen
It was the next day on ship, it would take a couple of days to get to Pheles, when Daphne walked up with a bounce in her step, and gave my cheek a soft but slightly lingering kiss. She was very affectionate, and I loved that, but that was about as far as things got in public.
“Can you put one of those privacy air things up.”
I nodded, and channeled Lia’s magic, I hardly even need to do more than think of her now, and her magic was at my fingertips. Not just her either, all of the ladies on our core team, Daphne too.
“Done.”
She smiled, “I was thinking about what you told us the other day. What about a ward. Your island ward does that… what did you call it, Lidar? So, couldn’t you tweak that part, that reads light, and have it look for, and block, concentrated light?”
I frowned, “I think so, the only question would be, which is faster, magic particles, or light particles. I could undoubtedly block it, or maybe even reflect it using a ship or even the keep wards, so we’re safe from snipers… I mean, assassins at a distance.”
I supposed it was even possible to make a ward that followed a person, but there hadn’t been any reason to make one really, not until the possibility of a laser sniper that is.
She frowned, “Faster?”
I nodded, “The ward could detect it, but could it block it before the split second it took to kill someone? Light is very fast, instantaneous for all practical purposes at a thousand-yard distance. We’d have to test it, but I’m still not going to use it unless we have to.”
She studied me for a minute, “You’re holding back other stuff too aren’t you?”
“Yes, my world has things that don’t belong in this one. Nothing good would come of me creating the equivalent with magic.”
She frowned thoughtfully, “Okay, keep your secrets love, it is probably for the best. I want to be by your side, and the others, when we take Pheles.”
“I figured.”
She looked up at me, shocked, “No objection?”
I actually thought she might be disappointed, she was obviously prepared with a number of arguments, and I’d taken the wind out of her sails.
I sighed, “I’d like you safe, but if you have to come along you’ll be much safer with me and the others, than you would be if we left you behind at the cove. I don’t like it, I hate it
in fact, but if they found you while we were away, and had one of the diviners with them? No, I won’t take that risk, we’ll stand or fall together love.”
She smiled slyly, and kissed my cheek, “That was easier than I thought it’d be.”
I wanted to wrap an arm around her, and feel her curled into my side, but took her hand instead. The former was too much of a public display apparently. Why a cheek kiss was okay, but the arm thing wasn’t, was beyond me, but not a battle I cared to win, or even fight.
I snorted, “Enjoy the victory, it will be your first and only battle. After that, we’ll be moving from pacified island to pacified island to build the government and empower the sorceresses. Even I won’t have any more battles, in theory. Until the next shit storm I mean.”
Daphne smirked, “Yup, just assassins from now on.”
That was rather flip, she’d come a long way from the first foiled attempt on her life to be able to joke about such things.
I looked around, there were ten ships including ours, each with over a hundred crew, and a hundred guards. The ships would be leaving with a smaller crew than normal, as one fifty got off of each ship and flew over the enemy’s island ward. That would be fifteen hundred of us in total.
That sounded like a lot, except Pheles had much bigger numbers according to our intelligence. The first time there I’d managed to avoid most of the troops even with my crazy run across part of the city, I didn’t believe that would be the case this time. They’d be ready for us.
I wasn’t exactly pessimistic about our chances, it would be two diviners against me and the three elves, and all of our support troops. I believed that the elves would prove the difference, but I’d have to wait and see.
I looked down at Daphne, her gorgeous honey blonde hair shone in the sun, and I could get lost in her brilliant green eyes so easily. I wanted a whole lifetime with her badly, but that would hang on what happened two days from now most likely. Not that there were any guarantees, but the odds were stacked in our favor if we managed to get past this crisis.
I hoped.
Daphne said softly, “We have two days, why don’t you come to the cabin with me, and we can work on that heir I don’t have yet.”
I smiled, and resisted the urge to kiss her up here on deck.
“Sounds very wise, we should have more than one of those.”
She frowned in mock consideration, “That sounds like we’ll need to practice a lot.”
I laughed, “Okay your majesty, let’s go.”
She tilted her head, “Daphne.”
“Oh, I don’t know, I was thinking I should kneel for you.”
Her eyes widened and sparkled with humor and lust at the thought. She really did taste good, and it would be a good prelude to the main event. She smiled, and pulled me toward the steep ladder below decks…
The two-day sail was very busy.
When we weren’t going over plans, one of my mates was always demanding some one on one time. Normally, we all slept together, and switched and shared, but those two days they worked me one at a time. It was both incredible, and daunting at the same time, since they seemed to have scheduled me out among themselves.
All I have to say about that is thank the goddess we had a healer on board, or my dick would have been raw and useless after half a day. Plus, it wasn’t like they’d had to twist my arm.
Still, the one on one time and the level of intimacy with just two of us at a time, had been more than worth the effort to sate all four of my mates separately, two days running, all by myself.
The second odd thing, was I only completed when I was in their sex. They still gave me blow jobs, but wouldn’t let me finish in their mouth, or between their tits, or in their… other places to put it delicately.
If I didn’t know better, I’d say they all conspired to get pregnant before the battle, just in case I didn’t make it and they did. Okay, I was fairly sure the former was in play, but the latter was probably just my dark and pessimistic side, after all, Murphy was still an asshole and no doubt had something planned for us.
They weren’t at all sneaky about their intentions for the first part however. Truthfully, the idea of knocking up all four of my mates was a huge turn on and spiced up our loving even further.
Marie and Jenna were obviously in the know, because every time they saw me they smirked, and gave me knowing looks. Honestly, it was a crazy couple of days, and one of the most memorable in my life. For all the bitching I did about Murphy, I was about the happiest man alive, and the luckiest, to have those four ladies in my life and in my bed. They were everything to me, and I’d die before I’d see them harmed.
If I got a choice…
Chapter Fifteen
This time around, we didn’t run into any patrols as we moved toward the western shore of the island through the reefs. A part of that I knew, was because the rest of the available fleet at this moment, nineteen ships, were distracting and keeping their attention by squatting in view of the north facing port on the horizon. They had orders to run if the ships in port moved out to engage, but we also doubted that would happen.
I hoped our mission went better this time. Last time had been a bit close for comfort. Then again, I didn’t see how it could be, since we’d be facing two diviners this time.
It was the early hours of the morning, pre-dawn, and all the ships stopped when we were about a mile offshore, which was well before the ward would detect us. It would give the ten ships a couple of hours to get out of sight, and lose any possible pursuers before daylight came.
I looked around us, and there were a lot of people ready to go.
“We ready?”
Lia nodded, and she thickened the air around us and took us up.
We flew seven hundred feet up or so, which should clear the ward by a hundred feet. It wasn’t exactly wasted effort, if we went through the ward itself they’d get an exact count of our numbers, and what type of wielders there were.
Going over we could keep some things from discovery.
We flew over, some groups below and above us, hoping to skew the counts the Lidar would give them by hiding behind each other, and of course they wouldn’t be able to tell what kind of wielders without us directly entering the ward.
I looked over to Daphne, who was for the first time not in a dress, but the pants and shirt of a guard. Besides looking extremely good in the clothes, she looked both nervous and a little excited. Sometimes I really hated this fight beside them to protect them stuff, instead of just keeping them safe. None of my mates would thank me for those thoughts, so I kept them to myself.
It didn’t take any longer than a couple of minutes to get over the ward, and land in the woods on the other side of the smuggler’s cove. It was dark, and hard to see anything.
We’d discussed our options the other night, and decided it would be very bad to fly to the capital, if a diviner stole that air that held us up, we’d be in deep shit. The elves could protect the source of our magic inside, but not the elements our magic controlled. Theoretically I could take it back as well, but it was just better not to take the risk, we would walk in from here which would take about five or six hours.
At least an hour of that would be in the forest.
Lia asked, “So far so good? Feel anyone?”
I nodded, “No, no enemy contact. This is kind of awesome.”
Sharon giggled, “Why, because we got to step three without a problem?”
“Obviously,” I said.
My mates were helplessly naïve about one thing. They didn’t subscribe to Murphy at all.
There was chatter all around us, but in light voices that wouldn’t carry too far. There were fifteen hundred of us, so I wasn’t even sure any attempt at stealth was worth it. Between them knowing we were there, and the size of our forces, sneakiness didn’t seem to be an option.
Amara gave me a soft kiss, and then moved out into the forest. Ashera and Gorwin moved out as well, in different directions. It was
n’t long before I felt them weave a ward around the whole group. Chances were that we’d see no enemy activity before we got to the city, but for all we knew there was an ambush waiting two hundred and one yards away, just out of my reach to detect.
There was no point in taking chances, we just wouldn’t move without those wards. Taking any chances when we knew we’d be facing diviners on this mission, would be very stupid.
Especially when we’d already been detected, and a response could be on the way.
“Alright, let’s move out then.”
There wasn’t much light to see by, but there was enough moonlight to ensure we wouldn’t run into any trees. The three elves had no problems holding a direction in a forest, even in the dark, so their magic would keep us going in the right direction as I simply followed their ward.
The rest of the group would be following me and the ladies, because I’d be the only one to feel anything magical up ahead. Everyone was broken up in smaller groups, and there was an air wielder in each one, which would be able to keep track of things with their air magic, so between all of that, no one should get lost.
Sharon, Lia, Marie, Jenna, and Daphne were right around me, and the others were behind and to the flanks as we started forward.
We’d only been going for fifteen minutes, when I felt contact with my magic. It was strange though, it was only one sorcerer, and a suppressed sorceress.
Then I heard grunts, and moans.
“Shit, this way, I think there are deserters out here, and they brought entertainment.”
I changed angles, and started to move slightly off to the right, but still mostly east, as we closed in with the duo. The groans and moans were getting louder, and I hesitated to rip the guy off of her, because she seemed to be enjoying it, a lot. My initial thought of rape, and the anger I had, drained away to doubt. We were only about fifty feet away.
“Wait,” I whispered, and I froze.
I closed my eyes, and felt the familiar light whisper of magic underneath all of the loud magical noise and feel of the elements and natural magic of the elves.
