the pattern repeated and repeated until a small blue speck came into my
vision. I tried to focus on the pinks and yellows and whites, but the blue spot
grew bigger and bigger until I could feel a stinging sensation on my cheek, and I closed my eyes against the harshness of it and tried to pull myself away
from the pain that radiated from my jaw up to my temple.
Suddenly, my eyes shot open, and I saw Blar’s small face right above
mine. He smacked me with his little blue paw over and over, and I pulled in a
ragged breath as my adrenaline kicked in and my heart started to race.
“Blar,” I breathed, and the little dragon looked at me with worried eyes
that quickly turned to relief. He stopped hitting me with his paw and instead
wrapped both his front little arms around my face and squished my mouth as
he hugged me. “What’s going on?”
I was panicked, then, as I realized I had no idea how long it had been
since we’d arrived in Vanaheim. I had no idea what had happened since we’d
stepped foot through the portal.
Blar used his paws to turn my face, and I saw Asta and Kas in the
meadow. They were both gloriously naked, and their hair was down and free
as they spun and twirled and danced around. Kas’ gold-red hair hung down
her back in a mess of curls that bobbed up and down as she pranced and
danced. Her red nipples were tight and clearly aroused, they pulled her
breasts up so they were even perkier as she twirled around and around then
fell to the ground with a huge outburst of laughter.
Asta’s long snow-white hair swung behind her like a magnificent flag
that flowed from her and followed her every move. Her pink mouth was
pulled into a permanent smile, and her small, pink nipples bounced up and
down as she jumped through the air like a dancer. She paraded around Kas
until she came close enough to grab the Valkyrie, and then she pulled the
blonde back up to dance with her again. The two women giggled and swayed
and looked up at the sky in awe, and then they’d go right back to dancing and
laughing.
I watched as the twin dragons tried to gain their attention. Inger
jumped onto Asta and pulled at her white hair, but the elf woman paid no
attention, she just continued to sway with her eyes closed.
Uffe sat on Kas’ shoulder and tried to push on her face to get her
attention, but it was no use. It was as if the two women were in at trance.
Kas and Asta grabbed each other by the hands and spun around like
children often do until they fell to the ground in a fit of giggles, and the little
dragons were flung off into the grass. It didn’t deter them, though, and the
twins got right back up and ran over to the women.
“What the fuck,” I moaned as I watched the beautiful women’s naked
bodies gyrate, but Blar hit me in the face again, so I turned to him with
surprise. “What is it?”
The little dragon pointed behind me as he jumped up and down on my
chest, and I turned to see the portal we’d come through. It was only ten feet
away from where I laid, I’d barely gone anywhere, but the swirling air
seemed smaller than usual, and as I watched, it grew the tiniest bit smaller.
“The portal’s closing!” I yelled, and I jumped to my feet, which sent
Blar tumbling to the ground. “I’m sorry, bud, but we’ve got to go!”
My heart was pounding in my chest like a war drum, and I felt myself
panic as I looked around at the strange scene in front of me. I had two naked
women who were still under whatever spell I’d been under, and three little
dragons I needed to get through that portal immediately.
“Kas!” I yelled, but the blonde continued to spin around and didn’t
even acknowledge that she’d heard me.
I’d have to get them home by force and worry about whatever spell
they were under later.
“Blar, get the twins!” I instructed, and the little blue dragon nodded
determinedly before I ran toward Kas and scooped her up over my shoulder.
“No, no, no!” the blonde yelled, and she started to beat me on the back
with her small fists. I’d planned to grab Asta as well, but Kas wiggled, and I
had to use both arms strapped across her legs to hold her in place. So, instead
I ran over to the portal, which continued to close right before my eyes.
Usually, the feel of Kas’ naked flesh against me would have been
enough to drive me crazy, but all I could think about was getting her back to
Asgard safely.
I tried to toss her into the portal, but the sorceress wiggled against me,
and I had to pull her from my shoulder then shove her backward through the
portal in order to get her through it. She tried to cling to my tunic as I pushed
her through, but I quickly pried her hands off and gave her one final shove.
I turned around to see Blar and the twins in a circle around Asta. Blar
locked eyes at me, and I could see the panic behind his little blue stare. Asta
seemed completely unaware that her dancing mate was gone, and she now
swayed back and forth, with her arms high above her head and her eyes
closed.
“I got her,” I assured Blar as I ran toward the little elf woman and
scooped her up. Immediately, she began to fight against me just as Kas had,
but I just kept my arms around her legs and let her beat on my back as I ran
toward the portal.
My foot slipped suddenly, and we tumbled to the ground. Then I
looked down and realized it was the girls’ clothes I’d tripped on. Asta tried to
wriggle away from me, but I still had a hold of her, so I pulled her back up
onto my shoulder, grabbed as much of their clothes as I could with one hand,
and ran toward the portal.
“Let me go!” the elf girl screamed as she bounced on my shoulder. “I
belong here! We all do!”
I turned around to make sure Blar and the twins were right behind me.
They were a few feet back, but I knew they could make it.
“Come on!” I hurried them, and the little reptiles scurried even faster.
The portal was high in the air now, and I wasn’t sure they could reach it on
their own, so I stopped and waited for the three of them to get near me.
I could feel the tenseness in my body as I prepared to jump through the
portal the instant the dragons’ feet landed on me. Asta still screamed and
kicked and wiggled, but I had my elbow crooked behind her knees so she
couldn’t go anywhere.
“Up!” I commanded as the three little dragons rushed toward me.
Blar was the first one on me, and he jumped up to my waist and clung
to me tightly. The twins each climbed one of my legs, but before they could
make it any further, I yelled for them to hold on and jumped through the tiny
portal. It was barely big enough for me to fit through, and the five of us
landed on the other side in a tangled mess of Aesir, elf, and dragon parts.
“Is everyone okay?” I breathed as I lifted my head and body to make
sure I hadn’t crushed anyone when we landed.
“Oh, Odin,” Kas said as she rushed over to us while still completely
nude.
It was dark out, and it took my eyes a second to adjust, but then I did a
qui
ck head count of everyone to make sure we’d all made it back safely.
Blar laid on his back next to me, and his breath was heavy as his wide
eyes stared up at the night sky.
I chuckled breathlessly and leaned over to scratch under his chin.
“You saved us, little buddy,” I told him. “Thank you.”
Uffe had taken a tumble off my leg as we landed, and he sat on the
ground a few feet away. His back legs were spread out, and his two front legs
were planted firmly on the ground so his belly looked incredibly fat as he sat
there with a dazed expression on his face.
Inger still clung to my shin, with her little eyes closed, so I reached
down to pet her, and she jumped slightly before she opened her eyes to look
at me.
“It’s okay,” I whispered, and the little dragon let go and fell off me
with an exaggerated sigh as if she weren’t sure we were going to make it.
Asta laid partially under me still, so I lifted myself off her.
“Is she okay?” Kas asked as she inspected the elf girl.
“I don’t know,” I said, and I could hear the concern in my own voice.
The elf girl seemed to be unconscious, since her eyes were closed, her head
rested to the side, and her body was limp under me.
I patted her lightly on the cheek until she gasped and leaned up, and
her eyes were round as saucers as she glanced around quickly.
“It’s okay, it’s okay,” I assured her, and I put my hand on her shoulder.
“You’re alright.”
The elf girl looked at me, then down at her naked body, and she
instinctively tried to cover herself.
“Why am I naked?” she asked, and panic was evident in her yellow
eyes. Then she turned to Kas before she looked back to me. “And why is she
naked?”
“I’d like to know that as well,” Kas huffed as she crossed her arms
over her bare breasts.
“Uh,” I said, and I lifted up the clothes I’d managed to grab. “I don’t
know what I grabbed, but go ahead and put them on.”
“Okay,” Kas agreed, “but first, can someone explain to me what in
Odin’s name just happened?”
Chapter 19
“You don’t remember?” I asked, but as I tried to recall the events that
occurred after we arrived in Vanaheim, I realized I could only remember bits
and pieces.
I looked around quickly to make sure there were no other Aesir nearby
to witness the naked women, but it was dark, and we were alone in the
countryside. I had no idea what time it was, but we’d been gone for hours,
and all the stars were out above us, so it had to be well into the evening by
then.
“I don’t remember anything,” Kas said, and there was a slight panic in
her voice as she pulled her tunic over her head.
“I don’t, either,” Asta agreed.
“I… remember Blar waking me up,” I said. “Before that I remember
just colors and the feel of the grass.”
“Where were we?” Kas asked, and she looked at me with round violet
eyes.
“We were in Vanaheim,” I replied. “That much I remember, but most
of it is fuzzy until Blar woke me up.”
“What do you mean woke you up?” Asta asked, and the elf girl pulled
her yellow tunic over her head as well, then stood up next to Kas.
“I wasn’t sleeping exactly,” I said, and I tried to recall what happened.
“I think I just was kind of in a daze, I couldn’t stand up or anything, all I
could do was look up at the sky.”
“I wonder why you remember and we don’t,” Asta murmured, and she
looked down as her white eyebrows pinched together in thought.
“It must be the Vanir Gods,” Kas said. “They must have put an
enchantment or something on the whole place.”
“The entire world?” I asked with disbelief.
“It’s possible,” the blonde mused. “They’re known for being extremely
powerful sorcerers, it wouldn’t surprise me that they would cast a spell to
confuse outsiders.”
“Perhaps this is why nobody knows what it looks like,” Asta said, and
her eyes grew wide with the realization.
“Exactly,” Kas said with a nod. “I bet plenty of people have stumbled
across Vanaheim, but they either couldn’t remember it or…”
“Or?” Asta asked, and her yellow eyes were full of concern.
“Or they were so overtaken by the spell that they never came back,” I
said, and Kas nodded sadly.
“That’s awful.” The elf girl frowned.
“If Blar hadn’t woken me up, then we would have been stuck there,
too,” I said solemnly, and I glanced down at the little blue dragon, who
looked up at me proudly.
“He must have been immune somehow,” Kas observed. “Your powers
with him might be the only reason you’re able to remember anything.”
“Everything is still fuzzy,” I sighed, and I put my hand up to my
temple.
“At least you weren’t naked,” Asta muttered, and she blushed and
looked down.
“We’re just lucky Blar was immune,” Kas said. “And that we were
able to get out of there in time.”
“Yeah, that wasn’t easy,” I chuckled. “Both of you fought me, so I had
to carry you to the portal and throw you through.”
“Well, thank Odin you did,” Kas said with a shake of her head. “We
were in there all day.”
“I wonder if Blar and the twins were affected at first,” I mused, and my
eyebrows pinched together in confusion.
“What makes you think that?” Kas asked, and I could tell her interest
was piqued.
“Why else would it have taken so long for him to wake me?” I asked.
“Huh, that’s a good question,” Kas said.
I crouched down by Blar then to ask him some questions, but I noticed
his little face looked slightly guilty, and he refused to make eye contact with
me. He also tried to move his front paws so I couldn’t see his belly.
“What are you hiding?” I asked with narrowed eyes, and I grabbed the
little blue dragon and held him up to reveal a large, round belly.
“He is so full!” Asta gasped, and she stared at his stomach with
amazement.
“Mhm,” I responded with a disapproving stare, and Blar stared at me
with his little blue eyes, then quickly looked away. I set him down onto the
ground with a sigh, then lifted up the twins to see they had the same fat little
bellies. Uffe just looked at me as if he knew he were in trouble, but Inger
batted her little eyes and tried to appear innocent. “Well, that explains it.”
“You think he waited to wake you so he could eat?” Kas asked, and
she tried to stifle a laugh behind her hand.
“I think that’s exactly what happened,” I said with a shake of my head,
but I couldn’t help but smile. The whole situation was quite funny, though I
didn’t want Blar to know that. At least he’d still woken me up in time to get
everyone home, that’s what mattered the most, and I was still grateful to him
for that, even if he’d probably spent a good ten hours eating fruit from the
land of the Vanir Gods.
“You are so bad,” Kas scolded Blar, but it was framed wi
th a laugh, so
all the little dragon could do was look at her with big puppy dog eyes that
feigned innocence.
“Yeah, yeah,” I chuckled at the little reptile. “Come on, let’s get back
to the house. Some of us haven’t eaten since breakfast.”
I glared at Blar as I spoke the last sentence, but he glanced around as if
he hadn’t heard me at all, so I just rolled my eyes and headed back home. The
little dragon had quite the personality, and he was definitely a pain in the rear
end at times, but he always came through when I needed him most, and I
loved him for it.
I couldn’t imagine my life without him or any of my little troop.
We made the walk home, and I realized halfway there that the girls
were both barefoot. I’d have to make a note to get them some shoes since it
seemed theirs had been left in Vanaheim. At least I’d managed to grab their
tunics, though, and their weapons and armor were attached to them, so I’d
saved us some trouble in finding them all new gear.
Still, the grass was soft, and it wasn’t cold out, so neither of them
complained, and we arrived at the house soon enough.
“I’ll start a fire,” I said as we entered the courtyard. “Kas, would you
grab us some mead?”
“With pleasure,” the blonde agreed.
Even though we couldn’t remember most of it, it had been a long day,
and I thought we could all use a bit of a drink after what we’d been through.
“What can I help with?” Asta asked, and she looked at me with bright
yellow eyes.
“Oh.” I paused and thought for a moment. “You could get me some
vegetables from the garden.”
“Okay,” the elf girl agreed, and she turned to leave, then turned back to
me so fast her hair whipped around in a wide arc of white. “What kind of
vegetables?”
“Whatever looks good to you,” I told her with a smile.
“I’m not all that familiar with your vegetables still,” she replied with a
frown.
“Just give them a smell and bring me a few you think will go
together,” I told her, and she nodded and walked away.
After I got the fire going, I gathered a pot and a pan from the pantry as
well as some rice to cook with our vegetables.
Kas returned first with the mead, and she handed me a pint, then set
one down where Asta usually sat beside her.
