The Traveler
Page 10
The women easily pulled my trousers off and dropped them onto the floor. My traitorous cock sprung up and before I knew it, they each had their way with me. Climbing astride, rocking back and forth, tilting forward and back until they reached the climax they were searching for. Except Chalia, she didn’t join in. At least I don’t think she did; my mind was everywhere at once. The cavern was filled with moaning and hollering, I was drenched with all kinds of bodily fluids when they were through with me.
Later on, I felt like I somehow had my mind again. I flinched when I felt someone washing me. Chalia looked at me with something akin to pity. I stared at the ceiling.
I grunted and hissed as she washed my dick. It was raw, and painful.
She whispered in my ear, “I’m sorry.”
I didn’t respond. She kept going with her chore for a couple of minutes. She was almost done when she spoke again, “I really am sorry.”
She helped me get dressed and took me back to my cage. I sat down, taking care not to move my aching pecker at all. I closed my eyes and fell into sleep.
The days went by, maybe weeks, I wasn’t sure. The bitches came every couple of days to fuck me and then left me with Chalia. When I resisted, Espa used her lightning magic to persuade me. It hurt like a motherfucker. I screamed out as it burnt the skin in places all over my body. Chalia had a healing salve ready for the burns and to help junior recover. These women were really pissing me off. I would bide my time and strike back at the right moment.
During this time, the elf from the cage beside me was shipped out. I didn’t even get his name, but it didn’t matter. Chalia made it somewhat bearable. She talked to me and I found out that she was not a fan of what her gang was doing. Her sister was in a second group that was affiliated with Espa. I didn’t pay attention to what city they were in, but they were doing the exact same things. Neither of the two lamias wanted this life, but had nowhere else to go. Not sure whether to believe her or not, I didn’t say anything about it. One takeaway from the conversation was that the other group had five in it and they were predominantly elves.
Every night I tried to concoct a way to escape. One day, after being fucked quite vigorously, it finally came to me. My pack and a few weapons were lying on top of a table not far from me. There were also parchment and a pencil on the table. Chalia unstrapped me and let me be for a minute to get dressed. She helped me get stable and was about to lead me towards my cage when there was a loud sound behind me. All of the women hollered out at someone and they ran out of the area chasing them, except Chalia that is. Must’ve been an escapee. The lamia was over by the tunnel leading out, watching. I held onto the table where the items that I needed were and scanned the area to make sure no one else was around, then hurriedly placed the parchment and pencil in one of my pockets. Chalia came back over to me and helped me to the cage. She acted like she didn’t see anything. Good. After applying the healing salve, she locked the door.
I waited for hours, letting my body get back to normal. When the time came to move, I didn’t hear anything or anyone nearby, so I started to draw my runes. Minutes later, the lock disintegrated and I worked the latch to free myself. Taking a breath, I made my way over to my pack. Most of my stuff was still in it. My dagger was on the table with the assortment of weapons they had collected from others. One of them was my bow, the quiver was on the floor. I checked the arrows were mine and that they had the runes on them.
I crept out of the cavern, a grin on my face. I didn’t know where the others were, so I worked my way through the tunnel until I heard snoring ahead. I stopped by the entrance to the first room or what seemed to be a room. It was a cutout in the tunnel. In fact, there were four of them, two on each side, each had one candle burning to light up the room. I looked in and saw Mikra, a mass of muscles sprawled across the bed, snoring belligerently. Grabbing my dagger, in a succession of rapid movements I reached her bed, placed my hand over her mouth, then used my blade to slit her thick throat. Blood shot everywhere. I finished her off with a stab in the eye.
Going to Dolly’s room, I did the same thing. She actually squeaked when I cut her throat.
The next room up was Chalia’s. I bypassed hers and went straight to Espa’s. Not long after I entered, her blood was gurgling all over her bed. It had been so easy. They all slept like logs. I checked all three rooms to find anything valuable and stowed ninety percent of the coin in my pack and left the remaining on the floor of Espa’s room. It seemed to be a nice amount. I would count it later on when I was the hell out of Dodge.
I hurried on through the tunnel, finally making it outside. It was dark but I could see light on the horizon, almost dawn. Checking my surroundings, I saw a corral that held horses. Strolling over, I counted five of them, grazing. I was surprised to find Coal there. He neighed and I petted him. I looked around the area and found rope and saddles within the small barn beside the corral. Grabbing the tack, I put all the saddles on the horses and tied a trail rope together to connect them. I situated myself on Coal’s saddle and without looking back, I led the horses out.
I didn’t know where I was, but got some directions to the town from a merchant passing by. Thank goodness, I was near Capena. I looked through my pack and found the materials inside were ruined. I sighed. I’d need to replenish those supplies, especially since I had grown a beard. Going into town, it was past dawn and people were starting their day. I hurriedly went in and bought the items needed and left the general store. Tom wasn’t at the counter, a woman that I didn’t recognize was manning it.
No one recognized me, thank goodness. I hope I don’t run into Bella or the others.
I placed the packages containing Shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and some essential oils such as lavender, mint, and lemon into one of my panniers. Vitamin E oil and a couple of razor blades, the last items on the list, went into the other. The people in the store gave me weird looks, guess it was the way that I was dressed. Looking down, I saw with clear eyes, blood stains on my filthy clothes, and they were torn in some places. The bitches didn’t give me new clothes to wear, and wouldn’t let me brush my teeth or wash myself. I could smell my own stench and it was rank. Running a hand through my unkempt hair, it was tangled in places. I grimaced as I mounted Coal to head out.
Chapter 8
A couple hours after leaving Capena, I rode up to my farm and scanned the area for any trouble. I opened the corral, took the saddles off the horses and let them get some water. Placing the equipment to the side, I walked over and cleaned myself up. It took some time to get the grime off of me. A few minutes later, I heard footsteps. Looking up, I saw William, Lily, and Celina coming towards me.
Not caring who was looking, I took off my shirt and threw it down. The three gasped. I took a few breaths after finishing and walked towards my cabin. The trio didn’t stop me or speak to me, but they followed, and I felt how concerned they were. I got a cup from the cupboard, filled it with water and drank until my thirst was quenched. I closed my eyes and took a few breaths before opening them back up to see the three beastkin standing near the table.
“Ladies, how is your day going?”
The two glanced at each other, Lily voiced her concern, “It’s great now that you’ve come back. Dom, where have you been?”
I ignored that for now and asked, “William, how long have I been gone?”
He gulped and thought about my question before answering, “Almost a month, Dom. Lily and Celina came by a few days after you vanished. They’ve helped out since.”
I chuckled and said, “Well, I became a prisoner and was taken advantage of. A blow to the ego, actually.”
I didn’t really know how to feel. Back on earth, when women were kidnapped and taken advantage of, it was a traumatic event. Thinking how the roles were reversed on Risona was surreal. But instead of trauma, my emotions were rage and anger. I wasn’t sure if the experience would have any lasting effects, but I had got my revenge on the perpetrators and as of right now, it was
n’t on my mind.
They all looked horrified by my announcement.
I went on, “My dick is worn out as well. Stupid bitches.”
I went and sat down. They came over and slowly sat as well. Lily took my face in her hands and looked me over. Not finding anything wrong, she kissed me on the cheek. I hugged her and thanked them both for helping William. I shook William’s hand and told the boy he was doing well at his job. I asked him about his letters and sentences, and he said with some pride that he had been working on them every night.
I gave them some more details of what happened.
Celina cleared her throat, “Hon, are you okay? What are all those marks on your body?”
“The leader had lightning magic and that’s how they kept me at bay. If I resisted, she zapped me.”
I looked at the markings, they would probably scar since I didn’t have any salve to apply. I had a book that might help. I’d need to take a look later on.
“Dom, do you want us to stay longer?” Lily asked with hesitation.
“You probably need to get back for your jobs. I can take it from here, ladies.”
Both nodded but didn’t say anything. I sighed and went outside to check on my farm. The garden was almost producing, a couple more weeks. The animals looked well. I placed two of the new horses in the barn and brushed them down and did the rest afterwards. William asked if I needed help and I let him. It wasn’t long before Lily and Celina walked up.
I looked over and said, “Take two of the horses, it will take less time for you to get back.”
Lily shook her head. “We can’t take them. They’re yours.”
“Yeah, but now they are yours.”
They smiled and when they picked out which one they each wanted, I got them ready. We talked for some time before they left. I kissed them goodbye and watched them go.
“Are you alright, Dom? I mean, it’s just you and me now,” William asked as we walked back to the barn.
“Yeah, just pissed off.”
He nodded and we planned the rest of our day. My face itched. I needed to shave. I grabbed the razors that I’d bought and set them down on the table. Grabbing my rune book, I went to a page that I’d found the other day, or rather, the other month. It was a hair removal rune, the description advised that it would cut the hair without hurting the skin, at all. It sounded too good to be true. I was going to test it out. It did recommend moisturizing the skin afterwards.
It took a few minutes to get the rune onto the blade, it was harder to etch than I’d thought. I got together the ingredients that I’d bought and created my own versions of shaving cream and moisturizer. I smiled and pumped water into a bowl before getting in front of the mirror.
I lathered on the shaving cream and went to work with the blade. Not cutting my beard down with scissors, I wanted to test how effective this blade was. It wasn’t hindered at all. I put pressure on it to see if my skin would be cut, but all it did was push in my skin. I grinned and went to work and within five minutes, the beard was gone. This rune held potential, no more razor burn or nicks. Hmm… I would need to apply the runes to the other two razors too. I put on moisturizing cream and cleaned up the area before heading out for other projects.

Isabella showed up to work early. It had been that way for some time now since her talk with Abby. Her daughter and Julia had given her and Felicia the cold shoulder for at least two weeks before the moms had had enough. Isabella and Felicia sat them down and hashed out why they were acting that way. She remembered the conversation vividly.
Isabella took a deep breath, “Girls, what has gotten into you?”
Abby scoffed and asked a question of her own. It was confusing at first. “Mom, are you choosing to join a family during the festival?”
Felicia glanced at her.
“No, we haven’t discussed anything with Dominic yet. Felicia and I wanted to gently push him in that direction.”
Abby and Julia burst into laughter.
Felicia demanded, “Girls, why are you laughing at what she said?”
“Because mother, that is a laughable statement,” Julia sneered at her mom before looking over at Isabella.
“Why is that, Julia?”
Abby went in a totally different direction, “We will get to that later, Mom. Now, you two have been getting in later than usual at night and going out more. Why’s that?”
Isabella gulped, but stared at her daughter blankly. “We don’t have to answer to you two, but I will. Felicia and I have been going out with some ladies. Dominic hasn’t been around lately, we were bored.”
Felicia nodded but was nervous.
Julia said in a sweet voice, “Yeah, we know all about what you’ve been up to with those ladies.”
Felicia snapped at her daughter, “Young lady, we don’t need your permission to go out and what we do during that time is our private business, it has nothing to do with you.”
Julia sniffed and drank some water before continuing, “That’s fine mother, you can do what you want, when you want. But if it will affect us, then you damn well better have a good explanation for it.”
Isabella couldn’t take it anymore. “What the hell is going on girls? Why would you think anything we have done would affect you?”
The teenagers glanced at one another and nodded.
Abby came out with it. “We know that you two have been fucking Helen and her family.”
The two mothers went wide-eyed, both tried to talk but couldn’t. Julia went on, “Yeah, we’ve followed you on numerous occasions the past few weeks. So, yes, this affects Abby and me. That is the last family that you need to join, Helen is a controlling asshole.”
Isabella finally got her voice back, “Girls, we’re not joining up with her family. Felicia said it would be fun and it wouldn’t mean anything.”
They all looked over at the redhead and she blushed hard. “Yes, that’s what I said...” She cleared her throat a couple of times before continuing, “But Helen has asked me if we’re going to join.”
Isabella whipped her head around and stared at her friend for a few moments before asking in a low voice, “And what did you say, Felicia?”
She looked down at the floor. “That we would discuss it and get back to her.”
The two teenagers scoffed and shook their heads.
Isabella seethed, “What the fuck, Felicia? How can you be serious about joining up with them? We were supposed to convince Dominic to let us join up with him.”
She didn’t answer, but her daughter did.
“You won’t be joining up with him.”
Felicia and Isabella instantly looked over at Abby.
“And why is that? Did he say something to you about it?” Isabella sounded scared now.
It was Julia who answered with a sneer, “Because… he’s the one who told us about your extracurricular activities.”
The two women went pale. Isabella ran to the bathroom and made retching sounds. After a few minutes, she came back out. Felicia had her head in her hands, crying.
Isabella sniffled and asked in a low voice, “When did he find out?”
Abby grinned at her.
“Remember that day you came in and you asked us what was wrong?”
Isabella nodded, her stomach twisting in a knot.
“He saw you and Felicia in Helen’s office. We caught him outside when he was leaving and he told us where you were. We came upon the same scene that he saw earlier. You two were moaning like whores.”
Isabella dropped down into her chair and started with the tears as well. A couple of minutes went by before she spoke again. “That’s why he hasn’t been around.”
Isabella slowly turned her head to her friend. “You said nothing would happen, it was all sexy fun. What do you have to say now?”
Felicia sobbed, saying incoherent things.
Isabella wasn’t going to hear that. “You ruined my chance, bitch. Get the fuck out of my rooms!”
“Girls, it would seem that I have made a grave error in judgment. I just went with what Felicia said, but it’s my fault going through with it. If you see him in town, would you please tell him that I would like to talk with him?”
Abby and Julia nodded and went to Abby’s room. Isabella left alone, went to her room and cried some more.
Isabella hadn’t spoken to Felicia since that night. That had been over two weeks ago. She sighed and looked around the wainwright building before starting on her duties. Maybe Dom would forgive her. Only time would tell. But she had to shake off those thoughts and stop thinking about it before she got angry again.

Lilyann woke up early and got dressed for the day. After taking care of her morning ritual, she went to the kitchen to get something to eat. The beastkin looked at her surroundings and sighed. She was living in a dump. It was definitely a place she wouldn’t bring a man home to, especially the male she had fantasies about. Just thinking about Dominic made her heart start beating faster. It had been a couple of weeks since they had seen each other. She and Celina hadn’t let the others know what had transpired on their excursions through the forest. Not yet. Especially when Dom disappeared, that was a horrible situation he went through and equally horrible for them as they thought they had lost him.
LilyAnn and Celina shared their place with Tianna, Sherie, Nana, and Yenis.
Sherie was an orc, just over six feet tall with an athletic body. She was muscular, not bulging muscles but defined, brown eyes and hair, green skin, pointy ears, and high cheekbones. Her breasts were pert and she had a petite waistline. Lily smiled, remembering last night’s tryst. The orc could definitely get her going.
Tianna was a female drow, or dark elf to most. A voluptuous 5’8” with d-cup breasts and an ass you could bounce coins off of. What made her stand out was her white hair, dark skin, and crimson eyes. She was also an earth mage.
