I lifted the knife and tried to activate my Charge skill. Nothing happened. My core was completely drained. I figured all of the remaining spirit inside my body was concentrated on healing my wounds. I ran forward as the snake lifted its head, pushing myself as hard as I could, just as I had in Amos’s gauntlet. The snake swung his head violently toward me. I ducked and sprang up with a yell. Forcing my blade upward I sunk it deep under its mouth. I plunged it in as far as possible and held it steady, letting my body weight pull the knife down as he raised his head. Several strands of spirit spilled out of the snake and darted directly for my core. The blade ripped the snake open and sent torrents of blood flowing out of his body.
Blood splashed down in all directions, covering me and everything around me. The snake wobbled a bit and bared his fangs as he gathered strength for one last lunge. I watched him intently and timed my dodge as the snake rushed forward. It worked exactly as I’d planned. As it passed, I plunged my hand inside its massive wound and wrapped my hand fully around its core. I ripped it out with all the strength I could muster and threw it on the ground. The glowing fist sized gem exploded in a shower of sparks, sending thousands of strands of glowing spirit in all directions.
As the snake fell motionless to the ground, I hurried over to Gwen and cut her bindings. She fell forward into my arms just as the snake’s venom took over and my legs went numb.
She fell on top of me and kissed me profusely. She could only get one word out in between each kiss she planted on me. “You. Don’t. Know. How. Much. I. Missed. You.” She collapsed on me and laid her head on my chest. Taking a deep breath, she raised her head. “You can’t move, can you?”
I gave her a weak smile. “Not even a little.”
Chapter Twenty-One
The loud crunching of stone on stone filled the air, much as it had when I first entered the labyrinth. My entire body, except for my head, was completely paralyzed. All three girls joined my side, worry plastered across their faces.
The walls stopped spinning and I heard slow clapping rise from behind. “Bravo, bravo Logan. Just in time too, you were cutting it a little close. I don’t know if you realized this, but five more minutes and you would’ve been locked inside. That’s part of the reason I never tell my champions exactly how much time they have, keeps them motivated.” Amos chuckled and stepped into my vision. “What seems to be the issue here?”
“I’m fucking paralyzed from the neck down. That’s the issue.”
“Hmm, a pity. I guess I’ll have to take over pleasing your women since you’ll no longer be able to.”
“Amos, I could please more women while in a goddamn coma than you could ever hope to on a good day.”
“Oh, relax. The effects should wear off by this evening. There’s no way I’d let anything actually kill you in there. But I couldn’t let you know that, could I?” He turned and called out to someone behind us. “Bring it over here. Let’s get him loaded up.”
Within seconds they lifted my paralyzed body and placed me in the wheelbarrow right next to Fapplejack.
The goblin turned his head and looked at me with a restrained smile. “Logan, sir?”
“FJ.” I gave him a small smile as Mona and Amos pushed us back to the castle. The others followed at the sides of the wagon, all three keeping a worried eye on me. I gave each of them a reassuring smile as we neared the manor. Dahlia had used her vines to create a sling for Isobel’s broken arm, which she held gingerly against her body. I mentally scolded myself for allowing her to be injured.
Mona joined Isobel’s side and I thought the wolf-kin was going to bite a chunk out of her throat. Mona raised her hands up. “Hey, easy, I just wanted to give you something that will take care of that arm for you.”
Isobel glared at Mona. “Why should I trust anything you give me? You were the one to lock me in that maze in the first place.”
Mona shrugged and shook her head. “Okay, well don’t say I never offered.”
Dahlia reached out and snatched the potion from Mona’s hand and held it tightly. I knew that when it came to potions, Dahlia was better equipped to know its effects than either me or my other bonded.
They set the cart down as we arrived at the castle and Amos limped to where I could see him without having to crane my neck. “Well ladies, take him in and wash him up. We head out to Ambirn at first light.”
Mona walked over and grabbed the sides of my face and bent closer. “If you want a little extra care, be sure to let me know.”
I kept my eyes focused on hers. “I’m good, although if you want to clean up after I’m done with my bonded, you’re more than welcome.”
Mona licked her lips. “Whatever it takes to get a taste.” She released my face and staggered away as if she had tripped on something. I adjusted my head and saw Gwen.
Gwen shrugged and tried to maintain an innocent look on her face. “Oops, sorry Mona, I tripped. We’ll take him from here.”
Mona shook her head and walked off in a huff.
I gave Gwen a smirk and she moved to the front of the cart. Dahlia grabbed the other side and together they pushed Fapplejack and me closer to the door.
After some clever ingenuity involving a blanket and brute strength, the three girls pulled me inside the castle and to the bath.
Dahlia tested a small bit of the potion that Mona had offered to Isobel earlier and determined it would be safe for the wolf-woman to take.
Isobel downed it in one swig and within minutes her arm had nearly healed, only leaving her a little sore.
They stripped me carefully and lowered me down into the water. The only thing that scared me the entire time I was paralyzed was the fact that I had three beautiful naked women in front of me, carefully bathing me, and tending to my wounds, and my dick just floated there like a bloated earthworm.
Gwen massaged my member slowly, running it gently through her hands, and I knew if I had any sort of feeling I’d have it inside of her already. An hour passed and Mona came in to alert us that dinner was ready. The girls had not eaten since being forced inside the labyrinth, and at the mention of food I heard all three of their stomachs rumble in unison. I didn’t want them to leave, but there was also nothing I could do at the moment in my current state.
Gwen ran a hand down along my face. “Don’t worry, we’re staying with you no matter what.” She leaned down and kissed my lips gently.
I gave her a nod. “If you want to eat, you can definitely eat. I think Amos’s games are over.”
Instead of leaving she bent down and began sucking on my cock. She brought it into her mouth slowly and let it hang inside her mouth. I closed my eyes and faced toward the back of the castle. Through the walls I saw the dancing spirit from the phoenix well in the distance. I kept my focus on the strands that swirled around the top, blocking out everything else around me.
One by one, I slowly dragged strands of spirit away from the statue and into my core. After several minutes, I felt my core filling and strengthening. A warm tingle rose to the surface of my skin, and suddenly I could feel the warmth of Dahlia’s body pressed to mine. Gwen wrapped her hand around the base of my cock and began to massage my balls as if it would help speed up the process. Isobel shifted closer, but remained at my feet, watching me curiously as she scooped water and let it fall from her hand onto my legs.
With each second that passed, more feeling returned to my body, starting in my extremities.
Dahlia let out a small yelp of joy as I finally wiggled my toes. “Ah, look. The poison is wearing off!”
Gwen kissed me again and began to pump my length. “Can you feel this?”
I nodded and smiled as I felt a slight hint of feeling returning to my shaft. “Hmm, I’ll tell you in a second.” As soon as the words left my mouth I became harder than I’d ever been before.
She smiled and pumped faster. “I’ll take that as a yes.” She moved her head back down to meet my tip and the three girls went to work on ensuring everything still worked.

Gwen reached down toward Isobel and pulled her up to join her. Even though I had feeling and could wiggle my fingers and toes, I was still unable to stand or move my arms. Not that I needed to, as the women were happy to help.
Isobel gave Gwen a sly smile and climbed on top of me. She lowered herself down on my engorged length, careful to move slowly in order to accept its width. She leaned forward and brought her breasts close to my face and whispered in my ear. “I still don’t think I can take it all right away.” She paused and bit her lip. “But that doesn’t mean I’m not going to try.” She lowered further and let out a loud moan as she began to rock her hips slowly in order to accept all of my length. Her bushy tail whipped wildly behind her and it would occasionally sweep across my balls sending a jolt through my body which made me even harder.
Gwen and Dahlia concentrated on kissing every inch of my body as the wolf-woman picked up her rhythm. Gwen moved her hands across Isobel’s breasts and squeezed her nipples. Each time she squeezed, Isobel would moan and her wet channel would tighten around me.
I motioned with my head for Dahlia to move closer. “I may not be able to use my hands, but I have an idea of how I can still please you.”
She studied my expression carefully for a second before she realized what I was getting at. She smiled and stood above my head on one of the stairs that led into the bath. She lowered herself down carefully, aligning her perfectly bare and glistening mound with my mouth. I plunged my tongue inside of her before she even lowered all the way down. She screamed in delight as I sucked on her sweet folds, taking in as much of her nectar as possible.
Isobel screamed out and dragged her claws down my chest as she came, her juices spilled out and her wild scent filled the air. I continued to focus on Dahlia’s sweet mound as Gwen and Isobel exchanged spots and the satyress lowered herself down on top of me.
Gwen screamed out. “Fuck, yes! Oh, Logan, I fucking missed you!” She moved with intensity, pushing herself down as far as she could on my length before rising and trying another attempt to take more of me. Dahlia’s moans became louder and her body convulsed as she reached orgasm. Her hot nectar covered my face as her thigh muscles twitched and tightened.
Gwen rocked her hips with intensity and within a few seconds she screamed out as she came. Her tight opening clamped around me and it was enough for me to be pushed over the edge. I shot my hot seed inside of her as deep as I could. She held herself down on top of me, ensuring she’d taken it all before rising slowly and cleaning my throbbing length with her mouth.
I still didn’t have control of my arms and legs, but I was completely content.
We laid together naked, half in the water and half out, as we let complete feeling come back to all of my extremities. After about an hour I regained the ability to stand and we walked together to gather our clothes. Mona had left some clean nightgowns for the women, which didn’t leave much to the imagination once they had them on. Although, all three women were very comfortable in their own skin, enough so they probably would’ve walked around naked if it wouldn’t have made others uncomfortable.
We walked together to the dining area nearly two hours after Mona told us the food was ready. It gave me a little satisfaction to see the impatient look on Amos’s face as he sat and visited with Fapplejack.
Amos stood and motioned for us to take a seat. “Come, I prepared only the best for my future champion.”
I pulled up a seat next to the goblin and patted him on the shoulder as I sat. A massive roasted turkey sat in the middle of the table and was surrounded by every type of food you would expect to see around a typical Thanksgiving table. I loaded up a plate and helped Fapplejack with his. The goblin thanked me and immediately dug into his food.
My bonded pulled up their chairs around me at the opposite end of the table from Amos. All three women dove right into their food, and I waited to see if Amos was going to say anything else.
After a few moments of silence, he cleared his throat. “I must say, you did much better in that labyrinth than my minotaur ever did. I had to bail him out each time he faced off against those pesky monkeys.”
I spread my arms out on the table in front of me. “What happens if the King switches things up with his labyrinth, or just foregoes it altogether?”
Amos acknowledged and held a finger in the air. “Ah, yes, I’ve thought of that, but with my brother, he doesn’t like change. He was already resistant to adding a labyrinth in the first place, I can’t see him taking it out now. Not when the tournament starts in only a couple days.”
I hesitated before eating the food, and Amos caught my hesitancy. “You didn’t poison this or put anything in it I should know about, did you? I will not be as patient this time around if I wake up to find out you fucked with me or any of my bonded.”
Amos waved his hands. “No, no, I promise, I’m only straightforward from here on out. I appreciate your patience throughout this entire ordeal. Let’s settle down.”
“The patience is gone. I promise you, if you pull any more stunts, I’ll not hesitate to leave you on the spot.” I paused and focused on his eyes. “Or kill you.”
Amos swallowed hard and chuckled nervously. “Come now, don’t let this food get cold. Eat up.”
We finished our meal and retreated to the guest room for the night. Gwen removed my clothes and led me to the bed. I climbed in and Dahlia took up her spot on the side and before Gwen could offer her spot to Isobel again, the wolf-girl stopped her. “You’re his first-bonded. You deserve that spot next to him, especially after what we just went through.”
Gwen’s face lit up slightly and she kissed Isobel lightly on the cheek. Isobel blushed only slightly and climbed in bed behind Dahlia. It was amazing how right it felt to be next to these women again. I stretched my arms and the girls moved in closer, pressing their perfect breasts against my sides. Gwen lowered her hand down and gripped onto my length as if she were afraid she was going to lose me. Before we could take it any further, we’d all passed out from exhaustion.
I woke a short time later and saw Mona standing at the door, staring at us while we slept. I didn’t move, wanting to see what she was going to do. To my surprise, she moved a hand up to her face and wiped away a tear. She sniffled, and it was obvious to me that she’d been crying. She stared for several more seconds before she turned and left. I knew that it couldn’t be easy tending to Amos’s every beck and call. That paired with losing her sisters recently had to be taking a toll on her. It didn’t change the fact that she helped to drug my bonded and put us all in a very dire situation. I wasn’t exactly ready to forgive and forget, although she did give one hell of a blow job.
I fell back asleep after staring at the ceiling for quite some time and woke to Gwen climbing on top of me and kissing my lips. The other girls were asleep, and the sky outside was still an inky blue, letting me know we had a little time before we had to get up. Her kisses stirred my length to attention. She moved down slowly and was careful not to wake the others as she wrapped her lips around the tip of my member. She sucked gently, and took it in and out of her warm mouth, letting her hot breath flow over it, which sent a shiver through my body. As I reached my full hardened length, she moved back up and guided my girth inside of her wet channel. It slipped in with ease and she let a small moan slip as she accepted its entirety. She rocked back and forth, riding me as quietly as she could. I reached up and caressed her full breasts and squeezed as she rocked faster.
She leaned down and bit my jaw as she continued to rock her hips. She whispered in my ear as her breaths increased. “It feels so good. It’s so deep.” She bit her bottom lip and stifled a small scream.
I grabbed her hips and pulled her down, ensuring my entire girth was enveloped by her. She moved faster, and I sat with her in my lap, biting her nipples. She moaned again, moving faster. I pulled her mouth down to mine and kissed her passionately, savoring her taste as she rocked faster. Her legs shook and as I arched my hips up I sent her over
the edge, her wetness splashing over my manhood as she shook in orgasm. The sudden rush of her juices was all I needed as I thrust several more times and emptied my seed as deep as I could inside of her. She collapsed on top of me and let out a long breath as her legs continued to shake. “Thank you, my love.”
Chapter Twenty-Two
We had everything loaded and were on the road before the sun cracked the horizon. Our group travelled back through the invisible barrier which kept Amos’s castle hidden and rejoined the main road to the Capitol.
Amos peeked his head out from the carriage behind. “When you reach the “T” turn right and continue straight unless I tell you otherwise. Keep your eye out for other travelers along the way. It may get a little busier than you’re used to."
I kept my attention focused on the road in front of us and turned to Gwen, who sat next to me. “What do you think he’s using to keep that barrier up around his castle? Is it something similar to what we have around our manor?”
She started to respond, but paused. “Did you say our manor?”
“Yes, I mean, you have as much claim on it as I do.”
She smiled and brushed her hair back behind her ear as she looked back at the barrier which hid the road to Amos’s castle. “It very well could be, or he could have a powerful spell cast to hide it. Those spells are very rare, and very expensive. Although, it’s something a brother to the king could most likely afford.”
“Remind me to look into one of those.” I glanced up at the road ahead and spotted several carts pulled off to the side. “Looks like we have some company. Let me know if you notice anything suspicious.”
