Chronicles of Eden - Act VI

by Alexander Gordon

  “Don’t you smile about anything?” Kroanette asked as she got up onto her feet and brushed some grass off her side. “You’re always so angry and negative about everything. Would it honestly kill you to have a more positive outlook on life?”

  “What do I have to smile about?” Clover scoffed at her as she started to set her hair into her long pigtails again. “I’m stuck hitching a ride home with you weirdos, I had to sleep out here with the horse and you because Dan snores louder than pissed off minotaur, I lost my priestess’s treasure to that fucking cat bitch, and to top it all off I’m hungry!”

  Kroanette sighed then walked over and knelt down to wake Lucky, the horse grunting softly while she pat him on the head and nose.

  “She’s just the worst kind of person, isn’t she, Lucky?” she mused to the horse.

  “Fuck you too,” Clover snapped as she got to her feet and holstered her quiver behind her. She marched off towards the caravan while holding her bow, grumbling profanities to herself as Kroanette glanced back to her and shook her head slightly.

  “I really do pray she doesn’t ruin this day,” she voiced without much hope before she stood up and stretched out her arms, her eyes then taking notice that Pip wasn’t sleeping in her chest.

  “Pip?” she asked as she parted her bosom with both hands, peering into her shirt and seeing no sign of the tiny monster. Looking around the area she scratched her head with a worried frown. “And I hope she didn’t blow up another village while we were all asleep again.”

  Clover climbed up onto the seat of the caravan then barged in through the curtain with a scowl on her face.

  “Alright, I’m-” she started before freezing in place. Standing before her Daniel was also still as he watched her with some surprise and also only having his pants on. Clover slowly eyed the boy over then showed a confused face and looked past him to where the girls were watching her from the bed. Triska, Alyssa, and Specca had their eyes on the elf while they still had the sheets pulled over their laps and were naked together. Triska merely raised an eyebrow at Clover with a dull stare while Alyssa was adjusting her focuser necklace while watching the elf with aggravation. Specca was adjusting her glasses while sleeping next to her Luna was cuddled up against the nixie and holding onto her waist with a small smile on her face. Squeak slowly uncurled from her ball and yawned with a squeak while Falla was still sound asleep near her, while fluttering above her Pip was looking at the elf with a curious eye as her wings moved about rapidly.

  “Clover?” Daniel asked as the elf glanced to him again, down to his chest, then to the other girls with puzzlement.

  “Seriously?” she questioned looking at Daniel’s chest skeptically. “Why do you all want to be close to this guy? There’s barely any muscle on him, he looks like a twig.”

  A mere second later the elf crashed through the side of the cabin, with Kroanette and Lucky jumping from the sound as Clover tumbled away on the grass with her bow bouncing onto the ground behind her. Luna and Falla jumped with a surprise at hearing the sudden noise, both quickly looking around in a daze before noticing a large hole in the side of the cabin above the second bed. A few broken pieces of wood dropped down from the wall while the group turned to Alyssa who had her hand held out towards the opening with a stern expression on her face.

  “I really hate that girl,” Alyssa scorned with a small grunt.

  “Alyssa!” Specca snapped at her.

  “What? You’re telling me you didn’t want me to throw her out after saying that about Daniel?”

  “No, I’d rather she get worse to be honest, but you could have hit the support beam in the corner,” Specca explained while pointing to the enlarged magical support beam near the bed that was right next to the open hole that Clover had made with her body being thrown through it by the witch.

  “If that gets broken we all would have been in danger,” Specca scolded. “You remember what Charlotte warned us about those, we can’t damage them at all or else.”

  “I was careful not to hit it,” Alyssa replied with a wave of her hand.

  “What just happened?” Falla asked glancing around confusedly.

  “Clover wouldn’t keep her mouth shut again,” Triska answered with a shrug.

  “Is she alright?” Luna asked looking at the hole in the wall curiously.

  Daniel walked over and saw Clover further away from the caravan, the elf stumbling back to her feet before she started stomping around while cursing repeatedly with relentless fury. Kroanette watched with a raised eyebrow as the elf shouted and stomped her feet in her tirade while Lucky grunted and shook his head slowly before he started walking off to find something to eat.

  “She’s… alright,” Daniel answered with a small shrug.

  “Damn,” Alyssa muttered.

  Specca shook her head slightly then smiled amusedly at Luna, the butterfly girl looking to her curiously as the nixie glanced down to her hips then to Luna again.

  “Did you sleep well last night?” Specca asked. “I mean you were holding onto me rather tightly the entire time.”

  The group turned to Luna as she jumped with a small blush before she smiled nervously and lowered her head.

  “Well… yes, I did. Sorry, I didn’t mean to bother you.”

  “It wasn’t a bother, it was sort of cute,” Specca giggled with a shrug. “You rolled over in the middle of the night and held onto me like I was a child’s stuffed animal.”

  “She does that,” Falla spoke up with a small chuckle. “Whenever we slept together out in The Outerlands she always held onto me at night. Whoever’s next to her becomes her sleeping buddy.”

  “Sorry,” Luna apologized again. “I like being close to someone when I’m asleep, it makes me feel better.”

  “Don’t worry about it,” Specca assured with a wink at her. “I’m used to being held by someone when I’m sleeping now anyway. I don’t mind.”

  Luna giggled softly with a timid glance to her then looked to her sister with a curious smile.

  “Did you sleep well, Falla?”

  “Yeah, I did,” Falla said turning to Daniel with wonder. “After Daniel stopped snoring I felt so relaxed in here like this.”

  “He didn’t stop snoring,” Pip chimed in before flying around Daniel in a blue blur. “He was making those loud noises all through the night. I was bouncing on his chest so much from it rumbling like a wild bear, it was fun! It was like he was rocking me to sleep all night long!”

  “You were sleeping on me?” Daniel asked curiously, then showed concern as the fairy stopped in front of his face with an innocent smile. “Wait, I’m not that loud at night, am I?”

  “You sure were!” Pip cheered with a hop in the air. “Can I sleep on your chest again tonight? Please? That was so much fun!”

  Daniel smiled weakly to that then looked to the girls as they all shrugged with amusement at him.

  “I didn’t notice it,” Triska reassured him. “And I was right next to you all night.”

  “Same here,” Alyssa agreed. “We saw Pip fly in here during the night and lay down on you before she fell asleep. She seemed to be okay with it.”

  “His chest rumbled like crazy!” Pip giggled before flying around Daniel again and again in her excitement. “It felt like all of Eden was shaking! I dreamed of so many boobies bouncing around me from sleeping like that, it was the greatest!”

  Everyone just stared at the circling blue blur of light around Daniel with blank expressions for a moment before looking to each other again.

  “I don’t know how to take that,” Daniel said shaking his head.

  “None of us do,” Specca replied with a similar gesture.

  “So wait,” Falla spoke before pointing to Daniel. “You were snoring all night again?”

  “I guess so,” Daniel worriedly said as he looked down to the giggling fairy.

  “But… it sounded like you stopped after a while,” Falla wondered before looking down with confusion. “I didn’t hear you doi
ng that for the rest of the night.”

  “Congratulations,” Triska dryly praised. “You’re one of us now.”

  “I guess that proves you really do love him, Falla,” Specca reasoned with a finger held to her chin thoughtfully. “Seems those that do are able to tune out his severe snoring completely.”

  “Severe?” Daniel weakly repeated before slumping his shoulders down with a sigh.

  “I didn’t hear his snoring when he slept outside with me the other night,” Kroanette chimed in from the entryway. The group looked to seeing her sticking her upper body through the curtain again with a curious smile on her face. “By the way, what happened to Clover just now?”

  “She made a snide remark about Daniel so I threw her out,” Alyssa answered.

  “Thank you so much, Alyssa,” Kroanette kindly said with a cheery smile. “I saw her crash through the side of the caravan rather violently. It was nice.”

  “It was my pleasure.”

  “Good morning, Kroanette,” Daniel greeted the centaur with a smile.

  “Good morning, Daniel,” she replied before watching Pip circling the boy. “Oh, and Pip is in here as well, I was wondering where she went this morning.”

  “It appears she wanted to sleep with Daniel last night,” Triska mused with a smirk at the fast moving fairy. “His snoring didn’t bother her at all. Actually she seemed to enjoy it.”

  “She enjoyed his snoring? Why?”

  “She’s Pip,” Alyssa reasoned before the fairy flew over and shot into Kroanette’s bosom, the centaur squealing with a shudder as the fairy wiggled around between the soft mounds before popping her head up and smiling brightly at the girl.

  “Good morning!” she cheerfully greeted.

  “Yes, good morning,” Kroanette forcibly replied with a weak smile.

  Pip giggled then flew out of her shirt in a blur, streaking around the room before diving down in between Luna’s breasts with a cheer. The group watched as Luna yelped and dropped back onto the bed with Pip nuzzling herself in her bosom before smiling brightly at the butterfly.

  “Good morning!”

  “Um, good morning?” Luna unsurely replied with before Pip raced out and into Specca’s chest, with the same results happening to the nixie as she squealed and dropped back onto the bed.

  “Why must she do that with us?” Triska tiredly asked before the fairy dived down in between her assets with a playful giggle. The teen held in her groan and nodded with a weak smile as Pip greeted her in the same fashion before she moved on to Squeak, then to Falla, and then raced over to Alyssa before stopping right in front of her. As Squeak and Falla slowly sat up again while blushing slightly Alyssa stifled back her grunt as she saw the fairy had no interest, or even ability, to do the same thing to her as she did to the others.

  “Aw, no boobies,” Pip pouted.

  “Good morning to you too,” Alyssa muttered.

  Pip giggled then hugged her forehead before flying up and around the ceiling as she liked to do, going in circles again and again while weaving up and down between the rafters. Alyssa’s eyes followed her motions somewhat before a slight smile came across her face.

  “Are we going to have to deal with that every morning?” Falla asked while her eyes tried to follow the fast moving fairy.

  “You will, I won’t have to,” Alyssa answered before she and Squeak got off the bed and started getting their clothes from the hangers on the side of the room. Triska and Specca crawled over to them and started getting dressed alongside the girls as well while the butterfly sisters smiled timidly at Daniel as they remained in bed.

  “Aren’t you two going to get dressed?” Specca asked glancing to them while she put on her petal skirt.

  “We’re alright with you sleeping naked with us,” Triska mentioned to them. “But you’re not spending the entire day like that in front of Daniel. We do have some decency.”

  “Yeah, sure,” Falla softly replied before the sisters slowly got out of bed and started to get dressed in their clothing again, both keeping an eye on Daniel the whole time.

  “What is it?” he asked as they kept watching him while putting on their skirts and bras.

  “Just reminding ourselves that this isn’t a dream,” Falla said before the two girls walked over and sat at the end of the bed together.

  “It seems too good to be true,” Luna admitted as they both eyed Daniel and then the girls who smiled curiously at them.

  “Hey, what the fuck just happened?” Clover shouted from outside the hole in the wall. “You think you can just throw me around like that and get away with it? You wanted my help talking to my priestess didn’t you? Then get the fuck out here and apologize right now!”

  “Yeah,” Triska sighed as she put on her shirt. “Like a dream come true.”

  *****

  “Alright,” Triska said as she set her duffel bag down onto the ground next to the ride, with Clover standing with her while having her arms crossed and a scowl on her face. “Before we go anywhere you’re going to fix the hole in the wall that you made.”

  “Excuse me?” Clover shouted at her. “That wasn’t my fault at all, I didn’t-”

  Triska grabbed her by the tunic, swung her over against the wheel of the caravan, and then held a finger close to the girl’s face with a stern expression.

  “Now you listen to me. I have already lost my patience with you, and many here do not want you accompanying us anymore due to you being the foulmouthed bitch you are. If you want us to take you anywhere then you will fix this hole which came from you speaking without thinking and criticizing our man. Do that, then you can eat, and then we’ll go. Otherwise get the fuck out of here! And if I hear one word out of you about it then I’ll take my dagger and jam it all the way up between your legs and carve out your ovaries! Do you get me?”

  Standing over to the side Daniel and the other girls were watching Triska shaking Clover by the collar, yelling at her with a stern tone, and threatening the elf with her fist before she shoved the stunned monster back against the wheel then knelt down to rummage through her bag. Clover just stared at her with an open mouth while remaining speechless as Triska pulled boards, nails, a hammer, a tin can of paint, and a brush out of her bag and set them down on the ground.

  “Well I’ll be,” Alyssa mentioned with a raised eyebrow. “Looks like we have a use for Triska’s volatile nature; to keep Clover in line.”

  “She’s really angry at her,” Luna nervously said before stepping behind her sister.

  “That’s not her being angry,” Specca said shaking her head, with Squeak doing the same in agreement. “You’ll know when she’s angry. She has a certain… aura she gives off when she’s really upset. Definitely lets you know she’s angry.”

  “Again, we’re letting that elf come with us still?” Falla asked looking to Daniel with unease.

  “If she doesn’t listen to Triska’s final warning we won’t,” Daniel reasoned. “This is her last chance to behave herself on this trip.”

  “Why is she still so mad?” Pip asked while sitting on Kroanette’s ample chest watching the elf curiously.

  “I’m starting to wonder if that’s how all elves are, or just her,” Kroanette pondered while crossing her arms with a small shrug.

  Triska finished setting aside materials and tools to repair the broken wall in the caravan before she closed up her bag and lifted it up over her shoulder then glared at the elf. Clover stared at her with stunned silence as the teen pointed to the materials then to the hole in the wall before she walked away. The elf glanced down to the long boards and paint, over to Triska’s duffel bag which was being carried by the teen with one hand, then back down to the supplies before slowly shaking her head with confusion.

  “Something about what I just saw doesn’t add up.”

  Triska breathed out with annoyance before flinging the bag back behind her and through the curtain of the ride, which landed inside the cabin with a loud thud while the caravan rocked on its whe
els from the incredible weight. Clover jumped with surprise then looked at Triska with disbelief before turning to the caravan while Triska walked over towards the others with a weak smile on her face.

  “Okay, while she’s fixing her mess, how about we have breakfast?”

  A few minutes later Clover was busy hammering in nails to new boards with frustrated grunts and growls while she stood on the caravan’s wheel, her eyes going over the large hole that still remained to be patched up with ire before over to seeing the group gathering near the front of the caravan to eat together. Lucky was grazing on some tall grass off to the side, tail swishing behind him as he ate peacefully, while Alyssa pet his nose with a warm smile on her face. She then walked over towards the others and waved her staff with a fanciful twirl, light rippling through the grass in a wide arc out from in front of her and causing the ground to shift about slightly. From the dirt large vines began to pop up in a circling formation before curving back downward, manifesting into small pews for everyone to sit on while a large clump of vines and weeds sprouted up in the middle and melded together to form a flat round table.

  “That’s so cool,” Luna praised while the group stood off to the side and watched the witch working her magic.

  “How come we’re not bringing anything out from the caravan?” Falla asked.

  “Alyssa wants to prepare breakfast for us on her own,” Specca answered with a curious smile at the little witch.

  “How’s she going to do that?”

  “Watch and see,” Triska proudly answered while the group saw Alyssa walking around her magically summoned seating with a confident smile on her face.

  “Alright, this shouldn’t be any trouble,” Alyssa assured herself before spinning her staff around once then thrusting it into the ground.

  Everyone watched in silent wonder as nothing happened, with the only sounds being heard were the hammering from Clover and a calm breeze that rolled through. After a while everyone looked to Alyssa curiously as the witch showed growing concern at seeing nothing appearing on the table.
