The Desperate Rescue. [In Game]

[TheIrishOtaku]

Akalfa's cry of pleasure was like music to the High Elf's ears, a beautiful and raw sound that she was proud, no honoured to have elicited. To take her lovers virginity like this was a dream come true (literally in this case) and Valira was eternally grateful to her gorgeous paramour for having allowed her the privilege. Suddenly, Akalfa's pussy got even tighter than before and Valira let out a harsh and guttural moan. The look in the Dark Elf's eyes, the sounds of her moans of pleasure, her lewd request spoken in a voice so quiet yet so full of lust and wanton need, as well as the feeling of her tight, wet pussy wrapping around her hard cock, made Valira feel so incredibly turned on that it was a wonder she didn't cum right then and there. Fuck she had even heard Akalfa curse! That was like icing on the delicious cake that lay before her, just begging to be devoured. Valira's willpower, stamina and desire to make sure that they both achieved release kept her from going over the edge, the knight turned temporary slut wanting them to share an orgasm so mind shatteringly pleasurable that it would be engraved on both of them forever. Valira started to thrust, moaning loudly and harshly as she felt her cock scrape against Akalfa's insides. She took it a bit slow at first, allowing Akalfa to get used to the shape and size of her rock hard member.

''Fuck Akalfa your pussy feels incredible.... So tight, warm and wet, and it takes my cock perfectly! Its almost like we were made for each other....''

Valira said this in a voice thick with desire and genuine love, right into Akalfa's ears as she lay across her lover. If you had told her a week ago that she would come to care so deeply for a Dark Elf, she would have laughed in your face. Now, she couldn't imagine Akalfa not being in her life, brightening up her day, cuddling in her arms, warming her bed. Images both lewd and romantic flickered through her head, somehow both feeding into each other, and at that Valira sped up her thrusts, going both harder and rougher as she began to pound the beautiful, dripping snatch before her. Her moans were harsh and aggressive, both from pleasure and exertion, sounding in that moment more like a rutting animal in heat than an elegant and noble lady. If she was an animal, then Akalfa was her mate, and the thought made her leave out a low and primal growl as she stared into the Dark Elf's eyes. The expression there was a paradox, lust mixed with love, respect mixed with ownership, aggression mixed with tenderness. Valira aimed to impart all of these things and more on the Dark Elf, as her cock continued to stretch out Akalfa's tight little hole.

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Every thrust of Valira's huge cock felt mind-numbingly good. Every throb, every pulse, every upshot against Akalfa's tight, sensitive walls made the Dark Elf screech like a bitch being bred. Her arms firmly wrapped around Valira's neck as she moaned shamelessly in pleasure. The lewd sound of flesh beating flesh surely echoed across the field. Valira's grinding of that rough spot inside of the Dark Elf rubbed her delicate pussy raw, tears in her eyes as they themselves rolled up in heavenly ecstasy. Each moment the High Elf bottomed out Akalfa mewled, a soft, adoring sound of pure bliss, the pure bliss of being fucked raw into the ground by the woman she adored, clutching the grass till her slate-grey knuckles went white. She hardly could believe the obscene sounds imitating from her own mouth and body. Valira's cock hammering into her soaking wet pussy making the most delightfully risqué sonority. An erotic tribute to their bodies heady harmony, voices cracked in shared euphoria.

"It feels so f-...FUCKING GOOD!" Akalfa shrieked as Valira's thrusts picked up in speed. "Slower...Slow down! OOOO, No, harder! Faster!" Akalfa cried out, further wrapping her legs around the High Elf, positioning herself perfectly into a mating press. Valira's words meaning more to the Dark Elf than the world. Everything around her felt secondary, like nothing existed but the two of them. Together. She couldn't see a day in her life that wasn't spent with Valira, not anymore. Imaging the beautiful valleys of Ashara, settling down into a nice, loving home, and fucking inside every single room each and every day. At this rate she may have to ask the High Elf her ring size. Feeling loved and adored beyond all measure, like something only known in a lifetime. Her pussy perfectly molding to the shape of Valira's cock, every detail memorized in her mind forever, the perfect hole to recieve her warm, waiting seed. Akalfa's voice alternating between quiet, sultry moans and husky clarion shouts to the heavens. Screaming Valira's name as she was completely, and utterly dominated.

The look in Valira's eye nearly made the Dark Elf's heart stop. Feeling a wave of sheer pleasure, joy, and emotions she didn't know she was capable of experiencing. A primal sound of submission leaving her throat as she stared deeply into her Valira's eyes with nothing but love. She was infatuated in every sense of the word. In every possible way. Her toes curled as the heat in her belly began to reach it's boiling point, and inferno of lust about to unravel in a mind-breaking orgasm. Bringing her face into the crook of Valira's neck, she whispered, her voice too worn out to scream any longer.

"Ah...Valira...I'm going to-...to...Please, mm, do it inside. Breed me."

Her tone soft, genuine, as if forgetting this was all simply a dream. But certainty one she wouldn't forget.

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

The sounds and expressions Akalfa were making drove Valira wild with lust, seeing the normally quiet and shy Dark Elf acting like a horny slut only adding to the immense arousal and pleasure she was experiencing. The fact that she could have such an effect on her lover, that she could be the one to bring out this filthy yet wonderful side of her, filled Valira with happiness and pride like few things had before. These feelings emotionally rivalled the sheer physical pleasure that Valira felt as her fat, hard cock, pounded the fuck out of her lovers tight wet hole. For a moment, as Akalfa asked for her to slow down she hesitated, but the slightly worried look on her face changed into a lewd grin as the Dark Elf quickly changed her tune. As her lover brought them into a mating press, she did exactly as Akalfa and went as hard and fast as she could. Grunts of exertion mingled with loud moans and screams of pleasure, as she too shouted her beautiful lovers name for all to hear. Harsh and guttural though her voice was in that moment, it still sounded no less like an ode to the gorgeous woman it belonged to. As she stared into the Dark Elf's stunning eyes, she saw nothing but pure unadulterated love there and Valira knew that her lover was thinking the exact same things that she was. Valira's heart melted at the sight, thoughts of her and Akalfa's future together, introducing her to her parents, showing her the wonders of her native land, getting married and making a home where they could raise their children, all flitted through her mind in that glorious moment. Of course, the moment that Akalfa whispered those beautiful, delicious words in her ears all thoughts of romance left her brain. In fact, she didn't think much of anything at all, as she began to thrust as hard and as fast as a runaway carriage into her lovers waiting snatch. It was like she was possessed, no longer a knight, no longer a High Elf, hell not even a person. No in that moment she was just a lust crazed beast, desperate to knock up the voluptuous creature before her. Grunting in pleasure, growling almost, Valira felt her own orgasm fast approaching, spreading from the head of her cock down through her shaft as the blessed heat and tightness suffused every inch of her being, portending an orgasm that would be earth shattering in its intensity. Fuck the fact that this was all just a product of Sune's imagination, fuck what anyone saw or thought, fuck the consequences. Right now, there was just the two of them and that's all that mattered. Doing her best to make sure they came together, Valira finally couldn't take it anymore. When she came, it happened hard, and it happened fast.

''Fuck! Cum for me Akalfa! Cum your fucking brains out while I pump you full of all my hot, sticky seed! I'm gonna fucking breed you! Impregnate you! Give you my babies! Fuck take it, take it all! Get knocked up! Fuck here it comes! FUCKING GODS AKALFA I'M CUUUMMMMMINNG! AKALFAAAAAAA!''

Valira's scream was louder and more intense than any that had preceded it, agony on her throat at this point but she did not care. She wanted the whole world to know, fantasy or not, that she was breeding her lover, filling her to the brim with her seed. Her mind turned to absolute mush, the pleasure so great that it seemed like the only thing that existed in the whole universe. The pleasure seemed as endless as her orgasm, the torrent of cum not seeming close to stopping. Finally, after what seemed like eons, Valira's body finally settled down, the blissful spasms turning to mere twitches and then ultimately subsiding. Valira let out a sigh that was equal parts satisfaction and exhaustion, laying her head on Akalfa's beautiful breasts as she breathed heavily. She made no effort to pull out, both because she was too tired to do so for the moment and because she wanted to remain connected with Akalfa. Besides, it would increase the likelihood of pregnancy, even if it was a fantasy one. Unable to use her words, the adoring and admiring gaze in Valira's eyes spoke volumes about what she felt about the experience, as did the kiss on the lips that was as soft and tender as their lovemaking had been hard and rough.

 

[Ecnalab]

The serpent flicked its tongue at Daisy, and then at Dirk, before curling around Sune's waste, like a belt. As it did, she began to mumble. "Gonna wake up soon. Now, or never," she slurred.

 

[Kalnath]

Dirk fidgeted sheepishly under the witch's scrutiny, and fought down the instinctive urge to cover himself. Outside from the heat of the moment he still wasn't used to being ogled. His cock had barely softened since he'd finished inside of Sune's ass, and it jumped back to full readiness at the slightest provocation. There was no tiring, no soreness... it felt as if he could just keep going. The demon had said that it was a side-effect of giving her his virginity, and by now he was inclined to believe it, for better or for worse.

So Daisy hadn't had a chance to get off, herself? Dirk felt a pang of guilt at the thought that he, Valira, and Akalfa had basically kept Sune to themselves. He hesitated, unsure whether or not to offer himself to her. Daisy struck him as more direct than that: if she really wanted it of him, she might have suggested it herself.

And then he heard Sune's comment, and his decision was made for him. He stepped closer to Daisy and wordlessly put his hand on her waist.

"Now or never, she says..." He smiled shyly at her, still uncertain if he was crossing a boundary. "Which do you prefer, Daisy?"

 

[Kalnath]

A flush rose in Dirk's cheeks after she kissed them, and he pressed into her back by way of response. "Fair enough. May as well get on with the day ahead of us."

He wrapped his arms around her, one hand slipping down to fondle her pussy while the other reached up to caress her breasts. Even if they were waking up in a moment, he could still give it an effort in the time they had left.

"I'm curious now, too. If you could make one, Daisy, what do you think yours would look like?"

 

[Kalnath]

Dirk hummed thoughtfully to himself, rolling his dexterous fingers across Daisy's clit as he considered his answer.

"Well, I'd want it to be something cozy, like a well-furnished cabin. The kind of place that you wouldn't mind coming back to, or inviting people to visit." After another moment's thought, he gave her nipple a pinch and continued. "I'd also like the scenery to change, I think. Maybe one time it's located in a cold, wintry forest with a warm fire going, and the next it's on a sun-kissed island with a cool ocean breeze coming in... But the house would be the same, give or take a few decorative adjustments..."

He grinded his hips into hers, his cock rubbing against her behind while his fingers worked her harder from the front. "Yours sounds nice too, though. I'd love to be able to see it someday."

 

[Kalnath]

Dirk smiled back as Daisy came down from her orgasm, savoring the feeling of his member between her cheeks. His body was telling him to continue, but Daisy had a point about them needing to move along.

"Not tonight," he said, giving her an affectionate squeeze. "I think we've all had plenty plenty of fun, for now, but it's time to wake up."

He gave Daisy a quick kiss on the lips before he separated from her. "See you tomorrow," he said, winking slyly before lying down on the blanket to wait for dawn.

Unable to use her words, the adoring and admiring gaze in Valira's eyes spoke volumes about what she felt about the experience, as did the kiss on the lips that was as soft and tender as their lovemaking had been hard and rough.

The moment the first drop of Valira's hot, thick semen splashed inside of Akalfa's stretched taut cunt the Dark Elf went silent. Cumming together in mind-breaking euphoria. A single sharp gasp escaping, her mouth stretched into an 'o' eyes wide as stars in the night sky. Her hands gripped Valira's back as tight as they could, scratching, hanging on for dear life as she was rutted like a mere beast. There was no sign of the shy Dark Elf sorceress there anymore. No sign of the timid underachiever, or the sheepish virgin. Simply a warm hole for her lover to fuck and breed. Welcoming every torrent of her seed deep into her most precious place. The orgasm that rocked her body was extraordinary, thoughts melting under the heat pooling inside of her, breath taking bliss warming every part of the Dark Elf into sheer, and total serenity. Finally having achieved her body's true purpose. Being the tightest, most luxurious fuckhole gold couldn't buy, reserved only for Valira.

It didn't just feel like sex. The way their bodies connected truly felt divine. They weren't simply fucking, hands in the dirt bidding their time with a quick roll in the hay, they were making love. The stark contrast of every forceful grunt and thrust mingled with every look of love and trust stole every word from the Dark Elf's throat. Her eyes said everything they needed to. That she needed Valira in her life, now and forever. Akalfa's body running on autopilot as it squeezed every drop out of the High Elf, taking in the entirety of her load to insure maximum chance of conception. Everything in the world paled to the ecstasy she felt in that moment, a moment that would change her for the rest of her life. The fact this was a dream never crossed her mind once Valira's cock slid into her dripping pussy, stretching her to the limit, growling like a animal in rut. The venom coursing through her blood finally satiated. Her thought's ultimately faded into nothing but fuzzy, overstimulated static. Giddy and lust drunk.

She couldn't stop cumming if she wanted to, loosing count if she was counting at all.

After the fifth...or was it sixth? Time, her body finally reached the point of exhaustion. A happy chuckle leaving her raw throat as she imagined their beautiful future together. Whatever happened in the real world was going to be incredible. She just knew it. For all of them. Her eyes heavy, more tired than she had ever been, legs numb as her unfocused gaze finally fluttered shut. Laying lovingly in Valira's arms with a smile on her face as she whispered,

"Thank you..." Before sleep finally won.

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

Valira felt like every drop of her cum was being wrung out by Akalfa's glorious pussy, a dull ache in her cock combined with the claw marks on her back merging with the incredible pleasure to create a sensation that was truly intoxicating. She knew that Akalfa was feeling the same, throat too hoarse to speak, but the sounds she made as well as her consecutive orgasms spoke more than mere words ever good. Every time the Dark Elf came, Valira's whole body shuddered, cock enveloped by her soft yet powerful walls, as the High Elf moaned in sheer bliss. Her brain was like mush at this point, overwhelmed by pleasure and exhaustion, the only thoughts on her lover and obtaining as much of their mutual pleasure as possible before this wonderful dream finally ended. It wasn't just the physical sensations that brought her such joy, she truly felt that she and Akalfa were connected on an emotional and spiritual plane as well. The look in both of their eyes, filled with boundless admiration, trust and sheer unadulterated love, was more than proof of that. This simple yet deeply meaningful fact meant that the choice of venue for their lovemaking and the circumstances surrounding it were irrelevant. All that mattered was each other. Their feelings for each other were realer than the wishful thinking of any dream, and Valira knew that they were more powerful than any foe who would dare stand in the way of their happiness. Valira knew that they would overcome any obstacle, as long as they were together. And they would be forever, no matter what. Overwhelmed by her feelings for Akalfa, Valira had to hold back tears of joy as she finally began to feel both of their orgasms subside, becoming a dull throbbing ache in her member. Valira gave a lazy smile as Akalfa chuckled, finding it as adorable as the rest of her beautiful and amazing lover. Her eyes mirrored the Dark Elf's own, shutting slowly yet inevitably, face only inches away from her paramour. Hearing the Dark Elf's words, she whispered her own in reply as sleep began to take her, signalling an end to this wonderful though ephemeral, world.

''You are welcome..... my beloved....''

When she woke up, Valira would have to thank Sune for having such an overactive, as well as perverted, imagination. She had made all of this possible after all, however unintentionally. How ironic that a demon had helped her to achieve this heaven. For once, she was grateful to the demon, which would probably make Sune question whether or not they were truly awake. Finally, Valira slipped into blissful slumber, cradled within the wonderful and caring arms of her gorgeous friend, companion and life partner. Truly, in that moment she was the happiest woman in any world, real or imaginary.

 

[Ecnalab]

The companions would awaken some time later to find they were still in the small cave they had taken shelter in. Valira and Akalfa were wrapped up in each other's arms, while Dirk and Daisy were being held close by Sune. For her part, the demoness had a big goofy grin on her face, and her cock was absolutely rigid. As for the rest of them, they would find that, unlike most dreams, they remembered this on with crystal clarity.

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

Valira let out a contented sigh as she awoke, delighted to see that she and Akalfa were in the same position they had been in the dreamworld, albeit fully clothed and without any extra body parts. She smiled warmly at her lover, eyes filled with admiration, respect, and above all adoration. She could have stayed cuddling with her lover, hard cave floor notwithstanding, for eternity. But sadly, they did not have that long. Today was the day of the final reckoning, the day they would face the vile dragon Garm and his awful daughter Zira, the day they would free their captives or die trying. Valira knew that they would succeed, she had absolutely no doubts on that score. Rather than nervousness, she felt a sense of serenity, combined with a fair amount of anticipation naturally. Valira was thankful that in contrast to her dreamself she felt extremely well rested and full of energy. They would need all the strength they could muster for the coming battle. Confident though Valira was, she knew that the coming fray would be no walk in the park. The High Elf was not underestimating their foes, this would be the toughest battle they had ever faced, and to do so would not only be the height of foolishness but potentially deadly to boot. Giving one last longing look at Akalfa, Valira gave her a brief but passionate kiss on the lips, one that spoke of her feelings and held the promise of more in the future. Pulling away, she finally broke the comfortable silence.

''Good morning my love. I trust you slept as well as I? Waking up to your beautiful face, cuddling in each others arms, is the perfect end to a perfect nights rest....''

Valira longed to say more, much more, but she knew that a dank cave wasn't the proper venue for such a thing. Besides, they did not have the time. Rubbing Akalfa's cheek softly, she finally turned to look at the others. Seeing the three of them huddling togetehr, Valira thought how cute Dirk, Daisy and Sune looked in that moment. Not even the silly smile and massive erection that Sune sported could ruin the picture. If anything it enhanced it, yet more proof of the incredibly lewd dream that they all remembered with such clarity. Fighting a flush that came to her face as the memories came flooding back, she composed herself before she addressed them.

''And a very good morning to you my friends, I see you are up and raring to go. Especially you Sunelarra, its nice to see you muster such enthusiasm. I only wish it was for the task at hand.''

Valira chuckled at her own lewd joke, looking pointedly at the demoness's rock hard erection with teasing amusement, and just a bit of arousal. That was only natural given what she had done to it in the fantasy world. Shaking her head clear of such lewd thoughts, she smiled broadly at her companions.

''Let us eat a quick breakfast and then we shall be off. We have a battle to win and prisoners to rescue!''

Valira said this with her trademark passion and determination, eyes filled with a steely glint that spoke of her resolve. The small amount of light entering the cave from the dawn sun shined at her back, only serving to heighten the image of strength and majesty she was unconsciously trying to project.

 

[Kalnath]

Dirk slowly sat up and stretched before opening his eyes. After how drained he had been yesterday, the mere ability to raise his arms like that came as a bit of a relief... a testament to a quick and restful recovery. Like Sune, he was also sporting a hard length of morning wood after last night’s dream, but Dirk’s heavier clothing (and, of course, his smaller size) served to conceal it better. He was used to ignoring it: it would usually go away on its own.

He absent-mindedly patted the ground next to him, and there was a moment of brief confusion while he looked around for his clothes before he remembered that he was still wearing them.

“Is it really that time already? I thought we still had a bit more mountain to get over...”

In truth, he was not looking forward to the inevitable confrontation. Now he was awake, he had the energy to worry, and nervousness was already creeping in.

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Akalfa awoke with a long yawn, lazily rubbing at her eyes as she smiled, still enwrapped in her lover's arms. She returned Valira's gaze of tenderness, lovingly leaning into her kiss with enthusiasm. Happy to share her warmth for another day, and hopefully for the rest of her days. Thankfully, unlike her dream self, the Dark Elf's legs were working just fine, invigorated despite the heart-pounding events prior. Peering over at Sune and the others she giggled, clear as day they too had a good night's rest and more. Fear held deeply in her heart at the realization that the dawn of their journey's end approached. She had come to care deeply for her companions, one of which held a special place in her heart. If any of them met harm...Akalfa didn't know what she'd do with herself. But taking a deep breath she was reassured. They had learned a lot from their previous battles, and while this would be their greatest challenge yet,

They could do this. And Akalfa refused to believe otherwise.

Turning to Valira she returned her passionate kiss with a shy, teasing peck on the lips. Something that said there would always be time for more, and that she was confident in that fact.

"Oh, my rest was simply divine. I had a lovely dream about the most beautiful blonde haired High Elf keeping me company. Such a pleasant coincidence." Akalfa snickered playfully, rising from the soft moss and stretching out.

"I'm afraid the rest of our night's will have to be spent the same way, else' I'll never be able to rest properly again after such a night."

Taking a gulp of fresh air, she looked out towards the mouth of the cave. Worried as she was Akalfa still tried to hang on to her faith in the group. Garm and his horrible progeny weren't winning this battle. They would all go back to the kingdom together, rich as kings and celebrated by all, heroes.

"The real question is; what exactly are we eating for breakfast? Before battling that giant newt I'd at least like a quick snack I admit. Last night got my...appetite a little roused."

 

[Ecnalab]

"I could suggest something," Sune smirked, looking at Akalfa, then to her cock, and back. Not waiting for an answer, she dismissed the wall of tentacles that blocked the entrance, and made her way outside.

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

Valira smiled broadly at Akalfa's words, both delighted by their content, the look in her eyes and the intensity with which she returned her kiss. It was moments like this that showed the confidence that lay beneath the Dark Elf's shy and quiet exterior. Valira was immensely happy and proud that she had helped bring some of that to the surface, but even prouder still of her amazing lover for how much she had grown in such a short time. Adopting an equally playful tone, Valira turned to her lover with an eyebrow raised in faux surprise.

''The coincidence becomes stranger still, for I had an equally delightful dream about a gorgeous ivory haired Dark Elf that did the same. Its almost like the universe is trying to tell us something. Yes I do believe you're right Akalfa, after all we wouldn't want either of us to lose any sleep....''

Valira returned Akalfa's snicker with one of her own, smiling happily. Not only was she overjoyed at Akalfa's sentiments, Valira was in complete agreement with Daisy as as well, nodding solemnly yet passionately. Dirk seemed a little less excited about the whole thing, but she didn't blame him for that. Confident or not, this would still be incredibly difficult and incredibly dangerous, possibly even deadly. Valira knew that Dirk would steady his nerves soon enough, a nice breakfast would go a long way towards that end. Speaking of, Akalfa raised a good question. They didn't have many rations left, and what they did have wasn't exactly enough for a hearty meal that would fuel them during a battle. Valira rolled her eyes at Sune's ''generous'' offer, although she did blush and chuckle at the prospect. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye she noticed a large cave lizard, about the size of a rabbit, tanning itself comfortably at the mouth of the cave. Valira was no expert, but she knew that reptiles were often sluggish in the early mornings, needing to heat up before they had any energy to move about. Therefore, Valira barely had to extend any effort in killing the creature with her sword, dispatching the animal in one quick and painless slash. This creature would provide them with plenty of meat, and the dark irony was not lost on Valira that they would feast on the flesh of a creature who in some very distance sense was related to Garm and Zira. True, it wasn't exactly gourmet cuisine, but beggars couldn't be choosers.

''As tempted as I'm sure we all are by Sune's offer, I think this would serve as a better alternative. That is if there are no objections?''

Valira felt a little embarrassed at what she was suggesting, after all it wasn't quite an orthodox meal. Still, it was better than nothing and while they could technically go hunting for something different, that brought its own dangers. Getting into yet another fight with a cyclops or something even worse was the last thing they needed before the final battle.

 

[Kalnath]

Dirk stared at the creature she had so nonchalantly skewered. He’d never eaten lizard before, but it seemed harmless enough to try. He wondered how it compared to rat.

“It’ll do, sure. So long as we can find enough wood to cook it, anyway.”

He got to his feet and made his way outside, squinting against the early morning light as his eyes adjusted to it. Dawn in the mountains turned out to be an astonishingly beautiful sight. Under different circumstances, he might have simply sat down and watched it for a while, but he’d given himself a task and so he set about it. Finding enough wood to roast their breakfast would take a bit: it was hard to find any plants at all out here.

As he wandered around the area, gathering whatever he could scrounge up, his thoughts turned back toward the previous night: especially to his own actions. He’d been bold in their shared dream. Perhaps overly so. But now that they were awake, he was nervous about how those feelings and experiences might transfer to reality. Everyone had seemed to be enjoying it at the time, but there were no actual consequences when you were dreaming...

He shook his head, reminding himself to focus on what lied ahead of them instead. Zira knew about their mission: she knew they would be coming. A reunion with the half-dragon was inevitable, for better or for worse. How would she act when they confronted her? He knew what he wanted to say to her – and what he felt he needed to say – but would he even be able to do so, when the time came?

And that was to say nothing about Garam, "the great black dragon of the burning mountains.” Two adjectives and a location – that was all they really knew about the beast, but it was enough for Dirk's imagination to paint a terrifying picture. And then there were the captives: Charlotte and Sholgra, the Princess and the Priestess…

So many factors. So many unknowns. So many things that could go wrong... He sighed, not paying much attention to his surroundings as he thought to himself.

Valira was relieved that Dirk at least seemed amenable to the idea, although she doubted that reptile of any sort would become a permanent part of any of their diets, regardless of taste. There was probably a reason that reptiles had never been domesticated as a food source, at least as far as Valira was aware. Still, food was food and they couldn't let squeamishness or preconceptions get in the way of a nourishing meal, especially at this critical juncture. Before Dirk left the cave, she spoke up, almost missing him at the last moment.

''Best of luck in your search and be careful!''

As Dirk set off to gather wood for the cooking fire, Valira knew that she couldn't just let him wander off alone. True, he wouldn't be that far away, certainly close enough to come to his aid at a moments notice, but that moment could be the difference between life or death. Dirk's screams could be the last they ever heard from him. On that grim and sobering note, she turned to the others with a somewhat forced smile.

''I'll take care of preparing our meal, would either of you be so kind as to accompany Dirk on his wood gathering excursion? Safety in numbers and all that, after all we've all seen how dangerous this area can be and I would hate for him to be alone out there should something untoward happen. I would do so myself, but it wouldn't feel right to kill this creature so easily and then expect somebody else to do all the actual work of cooking it.''

Valira did not have much experience in cooking, alright she didn't have any, but she figured that she could manage gutting a lizard and roasting its meat over an open flame. She didn't need to have the skills of the cooks who worked in her family home to manage something as simple as that, at least she hoped not. It would be an embarrassing and wasteful blunder after so much build-up, work and anticipation on everyone's part. She tried not to let such self doubt get in her way as she began to skin and gut the lizard, the sight and smell of the creatures viscera being mildly off-putting, but compared to what she had experienced in battle it was child's play. She cleaned up the meat as best she could after stripping it into fair sized chunks, spearing them on branches she sharpened slightly with her sword. Valira let out a huff and a satisfied smile graced her lips. They had their meat, now all they needed was the fire. Turning to Sune, who she saw sitting on the ground, looking bored and still somehow sporting morning wood, she gave her best smile. After the wonderful experience they had all shared in the demoness's fantasy world, perhaps this would be the perfect time to get to know the woman on a friendlier level. After all Dirk had gotten closer to her, why couldn't she? Besides, she still wanted to thank Sunelarra for creating the conditions necessary for what transpired between Valira and Akalfa, no matter how unintentionally.

''Well I'm not exactly a butcher, but I think I did a decent enough job. What say you, Sunelarra?''

Valira said this with a chuckle, trying to make small talk to ease them both into a more in depth chat. She just hoped that the demon would be receptive to her efforts. Valira was doubtful that she would be, but less so than she would have been a couple of days ago. There was some good in the demon, she had seen it, even if it did need to be unearthed a bit.

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Akalfa rolled her eyes at Sune's offer, though despite that she did have a distinct pigment to her cheeks looking back and forth at the demoness's stiff cock, noting that she wasn't as unreceptive to that pitch as the demon may think. Seeing Valira skewer the lizard caused the Dark Elf to jump, but soon returned to her composure as she realized what her lover was doing.

"Where I come from our cuisine isn't luxurious. Mushrooms, blind fish, the occasional giant centipede. This is more a delicacy to me than you may think, and I thank you for procuring our meal. I'm sure if it's graced by your hands it'll taste delicious."

Akalfa said to Valira with a warm smile, not being a picky eater in the slightest and quite excited to try her paramour's cooking. The thought of being able to do so for the High Elf one day as a proper wife brought a blush to her cheeks and a pang of longing. Wishing to return all the love and respect she was shown in equal measure. Survival wasn't easy in the caverns, and like most Dark Elves Akalfa was accustomed to wolfing down almost anything. The weight in her hips becoming less of a mystery by the second. In all truth, grilled cave lizard didn't sound half bad at all. Hearing Valira's request Akalfa nodded, rising from the cave floor and heading toward the entrance.

"I'll be glad to check up on him. Don't need any of us falling into trouble now." Before leaving, Akalfa turned to both Daisy, Sunelarra, and Valira with a particularly cheeky grin, still in high spirits and newfound confidence after the dream they all shared and not making any attempt to hide her giddiness.

"Keep safe you three."

The sorceress waved as she made her way out of the mouth of the cave, searching for the rogue-gone-rogue. The sunlight burned her eyes, squinting harshly as she adjusted to the hateful gaze of the big angry ball in the sky. Skin sensitive against its blinding rays. Seeing Dirk not too far away, she began to run over, waving her arms at him with a smile. She could tell since earlier something was on his mind, with his mask no longer concealing his expressions, and most certainly wanted to discuss. Both whatever it may be, and the exciting events of the previous night. As she stepped about near-blinded the Dark Elf accidentally tripped on a rock, and fell square on her face, with a rather loud thud.

Lifting from the debris she gave a slightly awkward, pained chuckle.

"Morning...Don't mind that blunder, hard to see out here. I take it you had a good night's sleep as well?"

 

[Kalnath]

Dirk turned his head as Akalfa ran toward him, and he smiled back at her - before she fell forward moments later. The look of concern on his face faded quickly, as he hurried over to help. One of his hands was full with a small bundle of dry sticks - the fruits of his search so far - so he offered her the other.

"Good morning to you, too, Akalfa. And yes, I did, thanks." he said, sweeping the dust off her shoulders. "Not hurt too badly, are you?"

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

Valira smiled warmly at Akalfa's praise, blushing slightly. She was delighted that her lover seemed enthusiastic about the meal, after all compared to the other things she mentioned it did seem to be quite a luxury. That was one area where Akalfa was no doubt braver than Valira, eating things out of necessity that the High Elf would never have dreamed of trying. She was not disgusted or judgemental in the slightest, on the contrary she was very impressed that Akalfa had gotten by for so long on such an eclectic diet, with such an amazing figure as a result. That being said, Valira vowed that from now on her beloved would have only the best, in culinary matters or otherwise. If in this case the ''best'' meant grilled lizard, then so be it. Akalfa's words broke her out of her thoughts, as did the Dark Elf's excited cheer, and Valira was overjoyed to see her lover in such a good mood, and so confident to boot. Gods, the smile on her face and the blush on her cheeks were just too cute! Clearly last night had had a positive effect on her and the mood was very much infectious. Returning Akalfa's grin, Valira's eyes were filled with joy, a playful mirth that dispelled her gloomy thoughts like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. That's who Akalfa was, her sunshine. Ironic that a woman who came from a place so dark could shine so bright.

''Thank you so much for your kind words Akalfa, I will do everything in my power to live up to them. Rest assured this will be the best grilled cave lizard ever cooked or my name isn't Valira Aurum!''

Valira's words could have been taken as a jest, but given they were said with the same determined passion as she brought to any endeavour she set her mind too, combined with the usual fire in her eyes, made it clear that she was totally serious. The thought of disappointing Akalfa was anathema to her, failure to prepare a delicious meal for her beautiful paramour as unacceptable as losing in battle. After all, this was a battle, a battle for everyone's stomach. And she would not be found wanting. As Akalfa said her goodbyes, Valira gave her one last beaming smile, eyes following her lover's beautiful form as she left to find Dirk.

''We very much appreciate it, thank you Akalfa. Please stay safe, if you need us do not hesitate to call. We will be by your side quick as a flash!''

Valira said this with a hint of worry to her voice, confident in both Akalfa and Dirk's abilities but still fully aware of the dangers that lurked around every corner. Concern was only natural, but Valira knew they couldn't be ruled by it. If something happened they would cross that bridge when they came to it, come what may.

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Taking his hand she smiled warmly as could be, thankful for his assistance, albeit with a twig, and a couple of leaves in her hair.

"A little stiff, but just fine. It'll take a bit more for this mountain to scar this sorceress!" Akalfa declared with confidence, however silly she may look after such a tumble. Wiping the dust and dirt from her skirt she thought carefully about how to phrase her next questions. She wasn't sure exactly how he was feeling but started to catch on that when he began distancing himself, something was on his mind. As much as the Dark Elf wanted to chow down on a lovingly prepared hot breakfast, the exciting first taste of Valira's home cooking, the Dark Elf's curiosities couldn't hide themselves, as well as her worries for her companion's wellbeing. Today was the big day after all, and the night prior was eventful. Anxieties and other complex feelings ran high within herself, so checking up on everyone couldn't hurt.

"So..." She smiled up at him and stared. Not a look or judgment or probing, but a nervous one, scanning his eyes for something. The dream brought out a little something different in everyone. And while Akalfa was liberated and regret-free by what she experienced, the sorceress couldn't help but wonder how the others may have viewed it. She did get carried away, slutting about as she did. And had no idea how those affections may have been received in the waking world by someone other than her lover.

"I hope it's okay that I ask but...last night. How do you feel about it? I admit, I did get quite riled up, and I just hope that didn't overstep a real boundary." She asked in a surprisingly timid tone, no sign of her earlier bout of confidence. It may have seemed like an odd question to ask, but she understood he had just started to open up, and wanted to make sure he was just as comfortable in the physical world as he was in the dreamscape with what happened. And...seeking affirmation for the possible potential of reoccurrences wouldn't do any harm.

 

[Kalnath]

"I, er..." A flush rose in Dirk's face at Akalfa's question, mostly from embarrassment. He hesitated, unable to meet her eyes with his own as he considered carefully how to answer it. What would be the most inoffensive reply?

No, don't be polite. Be honest.

"It was... well, it was nice," he said, eventually. "I don't think I would mind if it happened again. There are still some things I would have liked to try..." He didn't elaborate, but the way he avoided her gaze was telling.

He sighed. "I'll admit, I was more worried that I had overstepped a real boundary, considering how close you and Valira have gotten." In many ways, he thought of the elves' relationship as being sort of exclusive, and trying or even wanting to interact with either of them was a transgression against both, despite their earlier reassurances. "...I think I'd only be truly okay with it if I knew for sure that everyone else was, too."

"What about you?" he asked, picking up a dry branch and snapping it under his boot. "How do you feel about it, now that we're not in the heat of the moment?"

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Akalfa looked down at her feet with an anxious smile. It felt good to know she hadn't crossed a line. And that he wasn't averse to the idea of possible future encounters, wondering what 'things' to try might entail with less-than-chaste interest.

It had worried her. The thought of things getting awkward. And with a deep sigh, she was glad to know that the dark cloud brewing was likely all in her head. Thinking about how to properly respond she paused, walking across the dead leaves while she pondered on it.

Well, if he could be honest, it would only be fair if she did the same.

"I..." Taking a deep breath, she turned back to face him. Her face took on a deep purple hue but she didn't relent in what she said. Daring to be bold and candid instead of mincing her words or shying away.

"I enjoyed it. Greatly. It felt remarkable to be close like that...with everyone. You didn't overstep a boundary in the slightest, and I'm sure Valira would agree with me. To be truthful, I'd be lying to say she and I haven't thought about it for a while now, getting closer to you...Er, not just in that fashion of course! But generally speaking as well. I enjoy how much we've all gotten to know each other, and hope we have many opportunities still."

Akalfa nervously chuckled, not trying to sound predatory or desperate, but sincere. Scratching her head before noticing the stubborn twig attached and removing it, sheepishly adding it to the kindling in his arms. It was a hard thing to admit, confessing an attraction, especially one that was shared with her lover, but honesty was important among friends and she knew since that night in the base that her paramour felt the same way.

"I wouldn't mind if it happened again, either. Whether we all just talk, or if...more occurs. As long as everyone was comfortable with it."

Instead of being idle, she decided to make herself useful and pick up a few sticks as well to add to the collection. More hands always makes the work go faster, as they say. Busying herself helped to soothe her nerves, both about the coming battle and communicating her interest. That and the thought of greedily partaking in their imminent meal with gusto was a great motivator too.

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

Valira was grateful for both Daisy's appraisal of the food and her assistance. More help meant lighter work, although the suggestion of eating those particular organs ironically seemed to make the meal seem more appetising on Valira's part. Sheep liver cooked in red wine was a delicacy of her homeland, as was cow heart garnished with seasoning and cooked medium rare. Valira had enjoyed both dishes many times, in fact the very thought was something nostalgic and filled her with a longing for home. She shook her head clear of such thoughts, reminding herself that this would all be over soon enough. She would return to Ashara in triumph as a hero, with her beautiful and beloved Akalfa by her side. Smiling fondly at such a wonderful vision of the near future, Valira's eyes wandered over to what Daisy was doing. It appeared that there wasn't enough heart or liver to go around, let alone for a reptilian take on her homelands dishes. She chuckled at that, her stomach and homesickness stymied by a lizard of all things. There was plenty of other meat on offer so it did not matter, indeed she was more than willing to share the savoury offal with her companions. Looking over Daisy's shoulder, she smiled in satisfaction.

''You are very good at this Daisy. Do you have much experience in preparing your own meals? Oh and wonderful idea to make use of the heart and liver. After all, we'll need all the strength and fortitude we can get for the coming battle, especially after all the fun we had last night....''

Valira blushed slightly at that, eyes filled with lewd mirth and a smile on her lips that was equal parts teasing and genuine. She saw no reason not to bring it up, they had all shared such an intimate moment together, even if it was in a dreamworld, and Valira had no reason or desire to sweep it under the rug. She hoped that it would allow them all to get closer, in more ways than one. Valira also hoped that it would happen again in the future, for real this time and that could hardly come about if they acted ashamed or embarrassed about the whole thing. Besides, she knew that Daisy wouldn't object to the topic or find it uncomfortable, if everything she had seen and learned so far of the woman's personality was accurate. Daisy's frankness was one of her best qualities in Valira's view, something she admired deeply about the other woman. Open yet never rude, such plain yet polite honesty was what more people should try to exemplify as far as the High Elf was concerned.

 

[Kalnath]

There was a long, pensive silence, before Dirk chuckled softly to himself. “It’s amazing how much our thoughts line up, isn’t it?”

He tucked another stick into the expanding bundle, which still seemed too sparse to cook anything of substance. Given how sparse the vegetation was in these mountains, they may have to go further afield to get enough. He stood a bit closer to Akalfa as they continued both their search and their conversation.

"Honestly, for all this talk about getting closer, I suspect that you and I already have a bit more common ground than we realize. Think about it: we both came from unsavory backgrounds, we both did things we didn't want to for people we didn't like; we both ran away hoping for something better; we purposefully obscured our respective pasts for fear of judgment; we both have an inexplicable talent for giving oral... There's a lot." He extended each of the fingers of his free hand as he listed them off, smiling in good humor all the while.

 

[Ecnalab]

"I think I'm going to be sick, if I have to watch any more of this."

Dirk froze, and looked up, his heat sinking as his eyes ascended. There, perched on a low hill, was the human form of Zira. She sat on a large rock, chin in hand, as if lost in thought, her foot tapping the ground. She was maybe thirty feet away, close enough that he could see she was looking at him.

"Honestly, if you want to fuck someone, just let them know."

 

[Kalnath]

Dirk's smile did not so much fade as drain. He stared up at Zira with fear in his trembling eyes for a moment, before his expression suddenly hardened.

His eyes narrowed, and his hand curled into a fist. She had to have recognized him, even without the mask on, so there was no point trying to obfuscate it.

"...I figured you'd come looking sooner or later. You got something to say for yourself?"

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Akalfa smiled brightly at Dirk's words, finding a kindred spirit in the most unexpected of places.

"You really do have a point. It's nice to meet someone who understands what it's like. Perhaps we should go on little excursions more often, who knows what else we might have in common. I have been told that I have many talents after all."

The Dark Elf beamed, lightly nudging his shoulder, a flirtatious and light-hearted response. It really was nice to feel understood, to be able to let your guard down and not feel scrutinized. Precisely why she liked him so much.

The wind picked up a bit, so Akalfa turned away for a second to cover her eyes from debris. Puzzlement on her face as she heard a voice at a distance that didn't sound anything like Dirk's. Looking up the sorceress was met with a foul surprise. Looking Zira up and down, it wasn't hard to guess who she was, eyes widening in terror before glaring at her with uncharacteristic hostility and backing away slowly, both intimidated yet irate.

So this was the one she heard so much about. The one who had wronged Dirk and Valira with so much barbarity.

Suppressing the myriad of harsh insults floating through her head for both of their sakes and safety, Akalfa settled on a neutral expression.

"This was supposed to be a private moment. Though I'm sure you have a reason for why you've decided to show up early."

Akalfa's tone was more indifferent than indignant, trying not to show fear. Although with each passing second the winged predator staring them down made her stomach turn in uncomfortable knots. She was afraid. Very.
The threat they were preparing to surprise got the jump on them, and she was terrified to face the daughter of the great and horrible black dragon.
But cowardice was something more fitting of her past self.

Akalfa wouldn't go cowering and running with her tail between her legs. Not when she had a comrade to defend.

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

To Valira who had spent her life having all of her meals prepared by others, Daisy cooking her own was impressive in and of itself. The fact that she clearly did it well even more so. It may have seemed like a rather mundane thing to admire, but Valira wasn't sure how she would have fared if she had been forced to do so by necessity. Simple meals were one thing, but Valira did not know whether she would have the skills necessary to prepare more complex dishes. Not to mention having to hunt, gather or purchase the ingredients, again Valira's family had people who did all of those things. Valira felt a little spoiled in that moment, she had learned to be more self sufficient during this quest but clearly she had more to pick up. While she did not intend to give up her cushy lifestyle back home, it would be useful to be able to stand on her own two feet in certain situations.

''That is admirable, perhaps when this is all over you can teach me a few things? I would very much like to improve my culinary skills. Yes time and lack of equipment mean that we shall have to settle for a simpler breakfast. I am sure it will be both delicious and nourishing regardless. Still, it is enjoyable to fantasise. A marinade would indeed be lovely, as would sausages although I'm not sure that particular variety will catch on...''

Valira smiled at that, matching Daisy's laugh with one of her own. She was a bit confused by her comrades reaction, until she made the connection between sausages and what had happened to her in Sune's fantasy world. Her face flushed slightly at that, wonderful memories coming unbidden into her mind. Daisy's words broke her out of her reverie and she gave a teasing smile in return.

''Oh that will be no problem, I am nothing if not patient and restrained. Well, for the most part. The revelry upon our foes defeat will be well worth the wait, as will the rewards. I hope you get plenty of use out of those dragon parts, I'm sure you will do wonderous things with them. And yes quality of the meat aside, I have just gotten used to the idea of eating lizard, I'm not sure I'm ready to graduate to their bigger, angrier relative. Besides, I wager that the meat is probably extremely spicy, to the point that it would probably make you breathe fire like its owner! When it comes to setting my mouth ablaze, I'll stick with Asharan curry thank you!''

Valira gave a grin as she poked fun at herself, enjoying both the banter and this moment of simple camaraderie with Daisy. So far Sune had remained silent, apparently either not hearing or ignoring Valira's prior words to her, but the High Elf tried not to be offended by that. She had extended an olive branch, she could not force the demon to take it or decide the pace at which she did. Valira was sure the other woman's thoughts were at least partly occupied by the coming battle, she was going to be involved in some capacity after all, so her silence seemed more pensive than rude if one took that into account. Valira wouldn't get offended or assume the worst without good reason to, she would try to be more empathetic towards the demoness and allow her to come to her on her own terms and in her own time. After all, you could lead a horse to water but you couldn't make it drink. Shooting Sune a glance, Valira thought that she was more canine than equine with a bit of caprine mixed in but the saying was still accurate regardless.
