The Moment of Revenge
Chapter 1 - Finding the Lair
Finding the cave hadn't been easy and exploring the
cave was even worst. As I crawled through the narrow,
twisting passage, I probed with my extended sword to
find any traps or deadly bodyguards. In this tight
space, there was no room to turn around or to fight
and this was the only passage left. My huge muscular
body would be a weapon against me in this tight
space. All of the other passages had turned into dead-
ends.
I was fully extended and crawling as much as I could
with one hand holding my sword out and the other
holding the burning torch. Behind me, I towed several
more unlit torches to light my way as I explored the
cave.
The cave widened and opened into a chamber. I smiled
as I was able to get off of my stomach and bloody
knees and elbows for the first time in over an hour.
But my smile was short-lived as I discovered that this
chamber was a dead-end to my passage also.
"Kalam", I exclaimed as I discovered another dead-end.
I sat down and ran my large dirty hand through my
mane of dark muddy hair.
As I rested, I thought about how many dead-ends I had
come to in the last twenty years. This cave had been
my only remaining potential access to Valdar.
Valdar, the protected kingdom of my enemy. Valdar,
the land where only women could enter. I had tried
every place on the surface to penetrate the barrier, but
I couldn't walk through the spell that stopped all men.
I watched women enter and tried to enter with them,
but I would be stopped time and time again by the
invisible wall that protected this small kingdom.
Cak has strong medicine. Only Cak could take an
entire kingdom, granted a small kingdom compared to
most of the neighboring kingdoms, and put a
protective spell around the borders. Curse Cak and the
lifetime that I, Karak of the Cimmababas, had spent
trying to find and kill Cak.
I laid back on the cold rock and rested my tired
muscles. I was a warrior and the best fighter. Ever
since Cak killed my parents and wasted the small
village twenty years ago, I had been searching for Cak,
with the dedicated mission to kill Cak. Thus, my
travels had prepared me well for my task. My body was
lean and very muscular. The scars covering my body
proved that I wasn't afraid to fight and the fact that I
was alive, proved that I was very good at killing.
I had finally found Cak's lair. The kingdom of Valdar.
No men existed in there. Only women, who came and
went as they pleased, as they served Cak. While men
couldn't enter, any woman could. I had paid women to
enter and report on what they saw. When they
returned, if they returned, they served Cak. Veanak
had tried to kill me in my sleep and she had been my
favorite woman before entering Valdar. She tried to act
normal, but my experience with other women made me
cautious. She told him about the beautiful land, about
seeing Cak and making love to him. She declared that
she only did it so that she could find out what she
needed to learn for my task. After she told me about
the castle layout, and that she discovered nothing that
could help me enter; we made love. After making love, I
pretended to sleep. I was ready when she slashed at
me with her knife and was able to deflect the blow. She
was a good fighter and wouldn't surrender. As she lay
dying, she told me that I would never enter Valdar and
that Cak didn't want to leave.
It was a strong spell that protected Valdar and turned
my women against me. When I discovered that I
couldn't enter it from the ground, I tried to enter it
from underground and had explored every cave and
stream on all of the borders for the last two years. This
cave was the last cave and it had turned into a dead-
end also.
******
I exited the cave slowly. I had used my last torch and
had to find the exit in the dark. As I laid in the
sunlight, I looked as my bloodied and bruised body,
from the cuts and falls taken in the dark cave. I
walked over to a stream and laid in it, letting the cool
water wash away the dried blood and grime.
"Karak" yelled the nearby voice.
I jumped and turned to face the direction of the sound.
Three warrior women were standing on a rock. They
carried small swords and spears. Their bodies were
lean and a small smock barely covered the breast
through the hips. I recognized Lixu whom I hadn't seen
since she had entered Valdar under a similar mission
to mine. Her village had been pillaged during Cak's
last journey from Valdar and her husband and child
had been killed. I smiled when I recognized her but it
quickly turned to a frown when I recognized the
insignia on her tunic indicated an officer in Cak's all
female army.
Lixu smiled and announced "We have been waiting on
you. You've been in that cave for four days and nights.
My fellow Valdarians thought that you were dead, but I
knew better. I decided that we should wait and you
proved me right. There are no entrances for men. Cak's
magic protects him below ground as well as high above
ground. If you could ride the clouds and jump into
Valdar, you would discover that his magic wouldn't let
you enter. Cak sent me with an offer for you. He is
pleased with your determination and strength. He
offers you life. But only if you leave and never search
for him again. He is planning a raid next spring and
does not have to expend the energy to protect himself
from you outside Valdar. So he has an offer for you.
Leave in three days or expect death from any woman
that you ever cross path with. It is a generous offer,
my friend. I advise you to take it."
I looked at her and grunted "You entered Valdar to kill
Cak. What changed your mind?"
"I was wrong. I was young and foolish. After I entered
Valdar, I realized how much good he had done for his
subjects. How he took care of them and helped them.
At first, I was confused and was still very much
determined to kill him. But as I got closer to his castle,
I discovered that my anger had left me. When I met
Cak face to face, I no longer felt the burning rage
inside me. Instead I felt peace. I remembered that Cak
destroyed my village but I remember my husband
participating in doing the same thing to other villages
in his youth and knew that it was wrong for my
husband also. I talked with Cak and he explained why
I felt the way that I did. He helped me destroy the
anger within me and to replace it with pride in myself.
He let me join his army and train to serve him. When I
made love to Cak, I discovered true love. So I serve him
because he is not my lord and master, but he is my
true love. I share him with my sisters and defend him
from those who would harm him. That includes you,
my old friend. When he asked me to take this mission,
I volunteered readily because I've fond memories of
you, of fighting beside you and wish you to live to a
very old age. I came to try to convince you to give up
your quest. To listen to words of wisdom and not
words of anger. You know that I felt the same wrong
emotions that you now feel and I learned to control
them and to make my life better. I wish for you to do
the same." she proclaimed.
"What if I don't accept?" I asked
"Nothing will occur. For the next three days, that is.
After that, my sisters and I shall seek you out to kill
you. And you will have to kill us because we will not
stop until we die." she sternly announced.
"What if I accept?" I asked.
"You must prove that you accept by leaving this area
and going elsewhere. You can go anywhere that you
want." and she blushed as she smiled and added "And
my sisters and I'll go with you. We will serve you as we
serve our lord and master. We will fight for you and
bear your children. We will belong to you for you to
use us as you desire."
I looked at Lixu. I had slept with her before and had
enjoyed her company. I also knew that she was a fierce
fighter and knew how to use her weapons. I looked at
the other two women who were also attractive and
appeared quite equal to holding their own in a bed or
on a battlefield. One of them was a dark woman from
one of the tribes to the far east, while the other was
very fair skinned and her flowing blond hair was only
found among the sea-tribes to the north. The dark
woman had very large breasts bulging behind her
tunic.
I quietly asked "You would do this of your own free
will?"
"Gladly. I can serve my master in various ways. By
becoming your lover, I can help you while I serve him."
she admitted.
"What happens if I accept your offer and then later
decide to go after Cak again?" I asked, already knowing
the answer.
"You wouldn't live to find him. But enough talk. Cak
knows that you need time to think about his very
generous offer. So if you're not leaving this area on the
morning of the fourth day from today, we will kill you.
Until then, we are your servants." she declared flatly.
"No thanks." I replied, knowing that I couldn't trust
them enough to go to sleep with them.
"Your choice. We will be in town. All you've got to do, is
ask. We will be easy to find." she called out. And they
turned and walked away.
I watched them walk up the hill. The dark skinned one
looked back over her shoulder and smiled at me.
Under other circumstances, I would have gladly
accepted their offer to let me bed them.
Chapter 2 - The Inn
I returned to town and to my inn. The innkeeper's
body showed the affects of not working for many years
and sitting around eating and drinking his own ale. He
was sitting at the same table that he sat at every day
while his mother and wife cooked and fed his borders.
"Karak, you were gone for almost a month. We were
beginning to think that you might have finally found a
way in." he mumbled, wiping his greasy mouth on his
sleeve.
"Not yet. But I haven't given up yet." I responded.
His wife entered the room and looked at my muddy
and grimy body. She exclaimed "I don't care how much
gold you have. You've got to take a bath before you get
into one of my beds. We will get your stuff out of the
storeroom and put it in your usual room. Mother, fix a
bath."
I sat down and let her put a bowl of cold food in front
of me. I hungrily tore into it quickly devoured it. When
I finished, the wife queried "The bath is ready. Do you
remember which room it is?"
I nodded and walked down the hall. The innkeepers
mother was carrying in buckets of warm water that
she was heating in the kitchen. I quickly undress and
climbed into the tub, making sure that my sword was
beside the tub.
I laid in the warm water and relaxed for the first time
in many days, thinking about my constant failures in
getting into Valdar. I jumped when the door opened
but relaxed when I recognized the old woman carrying
another bucket of water, which she poured into the big
tub.
I leaned back and thought about trying to fly somehow
into Valdar. If I can't go under it's magical border,
maybe I can go over it. But how can I find how where
and how high. I can throw objects through the border
but cannot physically pass it myself. Even my horse
could walk in and come back.
I jumped again as the old woman entered carrying
another bucket of warm water. I leaned back as she
poured it in and slowly started walking by me. All of a
sudden, I felt a very sharp knife against my throat as
the old woman stated "Cak directed me to let you know
that you can never trust any woman if you don't
accept his gift to you."
She stepped back and dropped the knife to the floor.
She picked up the bucket and flashed me a toothless
smile as she left the room.
My hands were shaking. She had me. She could have
cut my throat before I could have done anything. And
she was right. I could never trust another woman
again.
I got out of the tub and put my clothes back on. I
opened the door carefully and checked before I walked
down the hall to the Inn's great hall. I stopped when
got to the doorway and looked at the room. There were
about twenty different women sitting around, drinking
and eating. When I had left that room, only the
innkeeper, his wife and one male customer had been
in the room. Now it was full of women.
The innkeeper walked by carrying a pitcher of ale to
one of the tables. I grabbed his arm and asked "What
are all of these women doing here?"
"I don't know. They came in one by one asking for food
and drink. And now my inn is full for the night. Isn't it
great?" he announced as he sat the pitcher on a table.
I looked around at the women. They were ignoring me
and eating or drinking. But I knew why they were here.
To give me another demonstration of Cak's power.
I walked upstairs to my room to get my gear so that I
could go elsewhere. I opened the door and knew that
someone was in the room.
From the dark side of the room, where the bed was
placed, she whispered in a husky voice "It's only me.
From the way that you looked at me today, I knew that
you wanted me as much as I wanted you."
"Who are you?" I asked, with my hand on my sword.
"Call me Eurotial. I was a slave girl who found my
freedom in Valdar. The blond girl is Lasa. She lost her
tongue when she was a kid so she can't speak. But I
know that she likes you. You don't have to worry about
anything bad happening to you for three more nights.
The old crone was only a demonstration to help you
think. The women downstairs will leave soon. No
matter where you go for the next three days, we will be
around to show you that you cannot escape us. We
won't harm you and will keep others from harming
you. For the next three days that is. So, why don't you
shut the door and talk to me. I won't hurt you."
responded the voice, which I assumed to be dark-
skinned girl that was with Lixu today.
I stepped inside and shut the door, keeping my hand
on my sword. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I
could faintly see her outline on the bed.
"Good, that light was too bright. Why don't you
undress and get in bed with me. I understand that you
had a nice, relaxing bath." she cooed.
I stood still, letting my eyes adjust to the dark. Now I
could clearly see her dark body lying on the blanket
and I could see that she was naked.
She continued "Do you like the way that I look? I take
good care of my body and try to keep it looking good. I
look at myself in mirrors constantly checking myself,
scrutinizing my reflection carefully for wrinkles and
other old signs. Have you ever been married?"
"No, I never found anyone to put up with me or with
my mission." I replied quietly.
"I won't bite you. At least not hard enough to hurt you.
Why don't you come closer?" she requested with a very
husky sound in her voice. I realized that I was getting
excited by her, even knowing that she could be getting
ready to kill me. My eyes were used to the dark now
and I could see she was licking her own tit.
"Why should I trust you?" I asked.
"I can put an arrow through a moving target at fifty
paces. I've had the opportunity several times today to
end your life if I wanted to, without risking my own. As
have my sisters. Why should I endanger my own life
like this? I'm no fool and when I've got to kill you, I
will. And I'll tell you before I do. Between us, I'll always
tell the truth. And the truth is that you look so good, I
could eat you right here." I laughed out loud.
I paused for a moment and knew that she could be
dangerous. But I've never backed out of doing
anything before just because there was some danger. I
knew that she was telling me the truth so far as she
knew it. And I knew that I wanted her.
I took my belt off and placed my sword beside the bed.
Then I removed my tunic and boots. She scooted over
on the bed and in the dark, I could see the faint smile
on her lips.
I laid on the bed and she curled up next to me,
pressing her big boobs into my chest.
"You know, I've been looking forward to being in your
arms all day," she whispered and held me a little
closer. I looked deep in her dark eyes and kissed her.
She responded by gently touching my tongue with her
own. My hard erection was pressed against her belly.
She smiled and laid her head against my chest. I put
my finger under her chin and brought her face up to
mine and kissed her. I felt her melt into me. I turned
so that we were lying on the bed facing each other so I
could grope her. My hand ran down her back and over
her ass, stopping to squeeze tightly and pull her
against me. My cock was really hard now. She ran her
hands over my chest. I kissed her neck in the soft spot
that joined the neck and shoulder, and then bit and
sucked, relaying my intentions to her knowing it was
making her crotch water for my hardness.
I explored her body with my hands. Her breasts were
very full and round, with long nipples tight from
arousal in sharp little points. I noticed the hair on her
pussy was trimmed. I kneeled on the bed and leaned
down to kiss her stomach. My hand rested on her
thigh and my hot and sweaty palm moved over her
thigh and up to her pouting cunt. Her drenched
snatch took me a little by surprise. I hadn't expected
her to really want me that much, but this proved that
her feelings were genuine. I massaged her swollen clit,
hearing her moan softly, placing her own hand over
mine and whispering, "I want you." I took my middle
finger, and slowly eased it into the delicate lips of her
pussy, like some tiger-lily filled with dew, its soft wet
petals wrapped around my finger. My tongue found a
nipple and suckled, my teeth nibbling just slightly, as I
knew she liked it. I slipped another finger in her and
then another. It felt so good, but I wanted my thick
cock inside her.
I pulled my dripping fingers from her and spread apart
her legs as I placed my body between them. My body
cried out for release but I needed to stay in control to
make it last more than ten seconds. With a hand
around my cock, I guided it into her pulsing hole and
slowly moved in and out against her body. Time
stopped for both of us as we fucked. Her tight pussy
was wonderful. Most of my women are nothing but
camp prostitutes and they are always too loose. She
was perfectly tight and held onto me tighter when my
full length was inside her. I kissed her neck and licked
the salty dampness of her perspiration, tasting and
smelling her personal body odor. I pulled out and
rolled her over. She helped me guide my cock in her
pussy from behind her so I could fondle her tits and
pussy. Now as my cock rammed in and out of her, all I
could think of was how wonderful this was. I wasn't
going to let her get away and she wasn't going to leave
me if I could help it.
Chapter 3 - Town
I don't remember going to sleep. We fucked three
different times and then I fell asleep, exhausted. By
that time, I had forgot that this woman was an ally of
my worst enemy. It's amazing how sex can help you
forget things.
I woke up with a start. I was alone in bed. Eurotial had
silently slipped out of bed without waking me, which
was very unusual for me. I felt my neck, to check to
see if it had been slit during my sleep. I dressed and
went downstairs.
The old crone brought me a bowl of gruel, which was
too watery. She smiled at me and grumped "Your
woman paid your rent for last night and the next two
nights. She went to the stable."
I watched walk around the table, making sure that she
didn't get close to me as I let her last night. She
cackled as she laughed at me. I slowly ate my gruel
and was breaking off a piece of bread when Lasa
entered the Inn. She looked around, saw me and
walked over and sat down across from me. She smiled
but didn't say anything. I remember Eurotial telling me
about her cut-out tongue and her inability to speak. I
welcomed her with a simple "Good morning."
She smiled and nodded her head. Then she reached
over and broke off a chunk of bread, which she started
eating. Her face was beautiful, with her long blond hair
flowing around her face. Not many women from the
northern tribes are seen around here and she was
extremely beautiful. And some bastard cut her tongue
out.
We ate in silence. I muttered something and she
smiled and nodded yes or no to my statements. When
we finished, she sat and looked at me. I stood and
walked out back to the toilet area. She followed me
into the toilet.
I unbuttoned my tunic and reached inside for my cock.
Her smooth hand gently followed my hand. Although I
found my cock, I let her find it and pull it out. She
aimed it at the ground for me. As I started peeing, she
slowly started stroking me. By the time I was finished
peeing, she had my cock hard and was looking very
strongly into my eyes. Eurotial was right last night.
Lasa can find other ways to communicate her desires
other than speaking.
She opened her tunic, exposing her milky white
breasts. I declared "You're a very beautiful woman. I
wish that I could have met you under different
circumstances."
She turned around and backed up to me, so that her
clean hair was rubbing against my face. I reached my
arms around her as she bent forward a little so that
my cock was pressing against her behind. She rubbed
her butt on my crotch a little, causing me to freeze,
still as a rock. She led my hands to her tits and placed
them so that I could cup her breasts as I felt her stiff
nipples through her tunic. My breathing was as
shallow as her.
"Do you want to go to my room?" I asked quietly.
She pulled my hands tighter against her breasts and
rubbed her ass into my crotch before she turned. She
reached down to cup one hand against my balls. She
grabbed the thick shaft in both hands and lightly
stroked. I groaned and rested my hands lightly on her
shoulders. She bent a little at the waist and licked the
thick head of my prick, then opened her mouth and
took it inside. She sucked my dick head and I groaned
and warned her that I was going to cum if she did that.
She grunted and smiled as much as she could with a
cock in her mouth. She sucked and jacked my cock all
the more urgently, squeezing it at the same time.
I came. I arched backward and my dick swelled up
inside her mouth so much I don't think I could have
removed it if I'd wanted to and then I started shooting.
The stuff just poured out of me in powerful spurts that
made her gurgle as she tried to swallow it all. I let
loose three or four of those long geysers and then
began shooting fast spurts. After about a half minute.
the spurts slowed and stopped and my dick started to
shrivel some. She sucked the head as I pulled back
pulling the last shivering dribble of my cum.
I dropped to my knees in front of her so that my face
was even with her tits. I pulled her tunic over her head
and started licking and kissing her tits. I took most of
her tit in my mouth and sucked and slowly squeeze it
out until just the nipple remained inside - and then I
fastened onto her nipple. I'd suck and whip the tip of
my tongue back and forth over it so fast that she had
an orgasm.
All the time I was doing that, I was unfastening her
short skirt and pushing them down. When they fell to
the ground, leaving her naked, I ran my hands up over
the backs of her legs and clamped a hand over each
cheek of her ass. Her butt was so small and tight that I
could cover it with both hands. I began to rub the
thoroughly dripping lips of her swollen little snatch.
She shuddered again when I slipped a fingertip into
the entrance of her cunt.
I stood, lifting her with me. She wrapped her legs
around my hips as I pressed my cock against her
pussy. I laid her on a cart and disengaged her leg grip,
then lifted her ankles high, bent at the waist and
began eating her out. I licked her thighs and she came.
I licked her cunt and she came. I licked and sucked
her clitoris and she came. She cummed again and
again. I took her ankles in my hands and pulled them
wide and tried to stick my tongue inside her pussy.
She was so tight that I couldn't even get the tip into
her. Then I pushed her legs back till her knees were
near her shoulders. Her hips were aimed up at the
sky. I moved my face back farther and began licking
the inner slopes of her ass cheeks. She grunted with
surprise and pleasure and then with even more
pleasure when I began swiping my tongue back and
forth over her asshole.
I turned her over and bent forward, put my face
between her legs and started licking her again. I got
one hand under her butt and forced one finger up her
cunt. Her pussy grabbed it and she shuddered as she
came again. Then I wedged a second finger into it, as I
kept licking and sucking her clit. The juices were
running down into the crack of her ass. Then I pushed
my pinkie into her asshole. She grunted but didn't try
to stop me as I kept working the finger into the narrow
hole, forcing it deeper and deeper until it was all the
way in. I just held it there without moving it as I
continued licking and sucking her clit. She started
cumming again and couldn't stop.
I stood beside the cart and positioned her so that I was
facing her. I took her ankles in my hands and pulled
her legs open as I rested her calves on my shoulders. I
stepped forward and pressed my big, hard cock
against her belly. I rocked back and forth, rubbing my
cock over her glistening blond pussy and massaged
her swollen, protruding clit, driving her crazy. Finally I
backed up and put my cock against her cunt. She held
her pussy lips wide as I rubbed and rotated the head
of my cock in the crease formed by her open pussy. I
pressed it in and her cunt lips started to fold in with
my dick. I pulled back and moved some of the
lubrication around and then pushed again. This time
the whole glans made it inside. I withdrew and did this
several more times, each time getting more and more
into her and then my head was stretching the walls of
her very tight cunt.
I moved back and forth a little so that I was getting
more of my cock into my tight cunt. I moved in and out
of her carefully at first, but every time I moved, my
cock shaft massaged her clitoris and every time the
little nubbin was touched she came. All of her
orgasms started to run together into one continuous
spasm and then my cock swelled and then it was
jerking, spewing my hot wetness inside her.
We laid there for a couple of minutes and then I pulled
my shriveling cock out of her. I smiled at her and
heard someone laugh. I turned quickly and the old
crone was standing there watching me, with a big grin
on her toothless face. She turned and went back into
the inn as we dressed.
Chapter 4 - My time is up
The next two days and nights were just repeats of the
first day. I fucked Eurotial and Lasa almost constantly.
The innkeeper was happy that I was staying in his inn
because of all the women that were hanging around,
which resulted in more men coming into his inn.
Lixu came back the last night and came into my room.
Eurotial and Lasa were curled up next to me. She
grinned and suggested "We need to talk."
Both women got up and dressed; then went
downstairs. After they left, Lixu recited "I've got very
explicit instructions to put into action, plans tomorrow
that will result in your certain death within the next
several days. I don't want to do it, but I must do what
is best for my master. We will eat breakfast with you
tomorrow morning. Our horses will be ready and
waiting. If we don't leave the inn and this town when
breakfast is over, our truce is over. We will become
enemies and will do whatever it takes, to destroy you."
She took a long pause and asked quietly "What do you
intend to do?"
"I've faced death before and I'm not afraid of death or
dying. I honestly believe that you've got the resources
and skill to carry out your promises. I don't want to
hurt you any more than you want to hurt me, but we
both will do what we must do. If I kill you and the
other two girls, more of your cult will come after me.
And I can kill them as I find them. But I can't kill every
woman that I meet. And I've got to sleep sometimes.
Cak is my enemy and I won't rest until he is dead. But
at the same time, I'm a poker player and know when to
fold, build up my pot and get back into the game. For
today, you've won. I'll leave in the morning but I'll
leave by myself. Although I enjoy your company, I
cannot rest knowing how deadly you are. So I'll leave
town for now, but I'll be back someday. And I'll kill
Cak." I stated.
Lixu looked at me and answered "Thank you. I wasn't
looking forward to what I had to do tomorrow. We will
return to Valdar. If you ever change your mind about
us, send us a message and we will come to you. But
you must leave tomorrow and you must never come
within three days of Valdar's borders again."
*******
I'm on my horse riding slowing out of town. I don't
know how far I can go, because I've got no energy. We
did a foursome all night long. I don't think that I've got
any skin left on my cock and my mouth is sore from
sucking boobs and pussy.
I slowly ease my mount eastward. I know that someone
is following me and watching me. I know that they
won't bother me as long as I continue a steady pace
away from Valdar. So I head east. Toward the rising
sun, because that is where I seek my mentor.
I don't run from battles. But I also don't hold a knife to
my own throat and see how far I can cut it. I was a
dead man if I stayed there much longer, so I must
leave so that I can fight another day. And on my terms,
not Cak's. He has won the battle, not the war.
I sleep soundly that night, tired from the previous
night's exertion and the long ride. When I wake the
next morning, I fix me a warm breakfast knowing that
whoever is watching me, is eating cold food. I catch my
horse and ride to the east.
******
I'm a week's distance from Valdar now. My escort
turned back two days ago, then doubled back to see if
I turned back behind her. I don't know who it was, but
suspect it was Eurotial, remembering her skill with the
bow and arrows.
I head southeast and to the kingdom of Ganash. I've
never been there, but I'm seeking someone that is
there. If he is still alive, that is.
*******
I've been riding for three weeks now. I picked up two
pack horse enroute, with some gold that was destined
for some king's wedding. It was escorted by an armed
guard of twelve men, but they trusted too much in
their own numbers to take appropriate precautions. I
took out five of the six nighttime guards before I was
discovered. Before they could get organized, another
three died. I got some cuts from the other four, but I'm
also alive with their gold.
I need gold and would have found some other way to
obtain my gold. What I've got here, is more than
enough to accomplish what I plan to do.
I'll ride into Ganash tomorrow and seek Torkak.
Torkak was a mercenary captain that hired me when I
was younger and he selected me to head up one of his
raiding companies. Torkak is retired now and living in
Ganash, but it is not him that I'm seeking. It is Maa,
his slave.
Maa is not your typical slave. He has yellow skin and
his eyes are slanted. When he is drinking or praying to
his gods, he speaks a language that no one else
understands. Maa is old and my be dead now, but he
is my only hope.
I remember one night years ago, Torkak and I were
sitting around a fire and he was talking about Maa
and his already long life. Torkak told me that Maa was
his friend and not his slave. That Maa could go and
come as he pleased because he practiced magic.
Torkak told me that Maa had saved his life at least
four times with his magic. And then he told me about
the magic that Maa had done on the ship that brought
him to our land. That one trick is the reason that I'm
searching for him.
*******
The next morning, I ride into Ganash. I'm able to find
Torkak's castle easily. He is not the king, but his
legion of soldiers is enough to take control if he
desires. So the king lets him live as a king.
I enter the courtyard and am greeted by Torkak.
"My friend, Karak." he exclaims as he recognizes me.
"They haven't killed you yet. Just last week, Maa and I
was talking about you."
"It is good to see you my friend. I come to seek your
assistance and Maa's magic to help me. I've found Cak
and need help." I asked.
He looked at me and sighed "We are a little too old for
battle and have no influence. Maa is asleep now and
spends a lot of his time sleeping."
I opened one of the bags of gold and declared "I can
pay for what assistance I need. You don't have to leave
your castle."
He looked at the gold and admitted "We heard rumors
about a wildman attacking the Ghordian Wedding
party. They were friends of mine and if I ever hear
anything about that wildman, I would be obligated to
tell them. But looking at this gold, I can tell that it is
not from their robbery. So, my friend, how can I help
you?"
I got off the horse and let his men take the gold and
my horses. If my plan didn't work, I wouldn't need
neither.
We went to his library and drank his ale as I brought
him up to date on my problems with Cak and the
boundary that couldn't be penetrated. When I finished,
he sighed "I don't know how we can help you. It is not
possible to fly and that appears to be the only way in.
Or you give up on your quest."
I filled my pipe and took a deep drag before I replied
"The boundary is a magical boundary. It will take
magic for me to pass it. I would like Maa to help me
get through the fence."
Torkak poured another drink and noted "Maa is like
myself. He is no longer suited to a saddle and a long
trip would be hard on him. He may not be able to open
a portal for you to pass."
"I don't expect him to leave here. As you know, my life
is dedicated to destroying Cak. If I've got to give up, I'll
kill myself. Therefore, my life is over, unless I can get
to him. Even after I get to him, I expect to be killed
because of his dedicated and diligent guards. So I
came up with a plan that is a one shot plan. I'll only
get one chance to get close to him and need Maa's
assistance to give me that chance. Do you remember
what you told me during the winter at Gujtin about
Maa's magic."
"I probably told you a lot, because we drank a lot
during that winter. What do you have in mind?" he
asked.
"Remember what you told me about Maa's ship
journey here and the man who killed the ship whore?"
I asked quietly.
"Do I remember it? How can I forget it. The ship had
been to sea for weeks and some fool kills the only
woman on the ship during a fuck. Maa liked the girl
and knew that he couldn't bring her back to life. So he
did the next best thing. He transferred the man's soul
to the woman's body and the man took her place. I
would have loved to have been there and seen his face
when he woke up and discovered that he was in her
body. And can you imagine what thoughts went
through his mind the first time someone poked a cock
into his new body?" Torkak laughed a hearty laugh
and then stopped when he realized that I wasn't
laughing.
He paused, looked at me sternly for a moment and
then quietly asked "Is that what you intend to do?
Turn yourself into a woman and enter Valdar as a
woman, subject to the same magic that destroyed your
female friends.?"
"Yes. I've got plenty of gold. I want you to find me a
suitable body and to transfer my soul into her. Then I
want an escort to the border of Valdar where your men
can turn back. I'll either enter Valdar or will die
fighting his guards.. I'll only take enough gold with me
to buy what I can no longer steal or do myself. The rest
of the gold is yours." I poured myself another drink
and leaned back.
Torkak walked over to the fireplace and stared into it
as he mummers "Once you become a woman and enter
Valdar, you may not want to destroy him and may find
yourself as one of his women. Can you live with that
concept?"
"Either way, I've tried. If I become one of his women,
then I no longer exist and only the shell that remains
exists. I'll have perished in my quest. I accept the
risks." I admitted.
"Maa sleeps a lot. He won't wake up for about two
days. When he wakes up, we will discuss this with
him. Meanwhile, I'll send some men to another
kingdom for a raid. They will bring back some young
women for you to select the woman that you want to
be. I'll ease my consciences by granting the other
women their freedom and giving them some gold."
******
We waited. Torkak sent two groups of men in different
directions to find a suitable woman.
When Maa woke, Torkak took me to his chambers. I
stood in the doorway while Torkak talked quietly with
Maa. After several minutes, Torkak motioned me
forward.
I was appalled by Maa's appearance. While he wasn't
really robust looking during the years that I knew him,
he was close to death now. Maa whispered "It is good
to see you again my friend. I knew years ago that we
would meet again. So I've been waiting for you to find
me, so that I can die in peace. I knew years ago that
you would someday need my special help and I've tried
to wait around to help you. My magic is weak and I
don't have much time left. Understand that you will
not share her body alone. My magic can put you in her
body but some of her memories will still be there. You
will have flashes of memory where her memory is
stronger than your memory. You will be in control of
her body, but you will find that your brute force
methods are replaced by her gentle methods. You will
be in control of her body, some of her memories, but
you will change as you absorb her memories into you.
In a year, you will not be able to tell the difference
between you and her. You will become one. When you
pick the woman, pick wisely because you're picking
whom you will become. Do you remember the puzzle
that I asked you many years ago?"
"Yes, You directed that someday that Karak would
have a warrior's burial, but that I would rule a
kingdom after that burial, but I wouldn't be the King.
That years after my death, my people would talk about
how great a King Karak is. All things that cannot be
possible." I had gave that riddle much thought when
Maa had told me my future and saw no one that it
could come true. Now, I knew how it would come true.
My body would buried, but I would continue in a
woman's body and would rule the kingdom as a
Queen.
"It will come true. Not immediately, but it will come
true. Now, I must rest, my friend."
He turned over and slipped into a deep sleep. Torkak
sighed "About a year ago, he started sleeping heavily
like this. Everytime he wakes, we talk and he
frequently talked about the battles that we were in
with you. And he kept telling me that he would see you
again before he died."
I could see tears in Torkak's eyes as he covered the old
man with the blanket.
*******
I had my choice of fourteen women that his soldiers
captured from other kingdoms.. Nine of them were
immediately rejected and after three hours of watching
the other five from an overhead window, I made my
selection.
She was tall and her body was in good shape. From
what I could see, she had an excellent body. She was
about eighteen years old and had long dark hair and a
beautiful face. When Torkak asked if I wanted to
examine her closer, I shook my head no. I had made
my decision and didn't want to know any more about
her than I had to. I just wanted her body to use. I
would accept the extra baggage of whatever memories
remained.
We waited about five more days until Maa woke again.
It had been almost two weeks since we had our short
little discussion. Torkak had the girl brought to Maa's
chamber. She still doesn't know what is going to
happen.
Maa waves me forward. I approach his frail form and
he quietly says "Torkak will give you and her some of
my drugs. You will both fall asleep here in my chamber
and will remain asleep until my magic has completed
it's spell. When you wake up, you will be her. Your
body will die. Her soul will die. You will become her.
We will never meet again, my friend. I can't tell you at
this time what your future holds. Good luck and may
the gods watch over you."
Torkak hands me a vial. Then he walks over to the
woman and hands her a vial. She slowly takes it, not
knowing what is in it. He orders her to drink it. She
slowly turns it up and drinks it. He looks at the empty
vial and nods to me. I turn my vial up and quickly
swallow it. Then I look at her. She looks at me. Torkak
looks at both of us.
Chapter 5 - Maya
I don't remember passing out. I felt marvelously rested,
with a feeling of inner well-being that filled me with
warmth and contentment. My eyes are still closed, I
stretched out on the bed, enjoying the coolness of the
smooth sheets beneath me. As I rub my forehead, I
realize that something is different and I jerk my eyes
open. The first thing that I see are my hands and I
know that I'm in a woman's body. The magic worked. I
sat up, swinging my legs over the side of the bed.
For an instant, a weight pulling against my chest felt
odd and unfamiliar, but the next moment, the
sensation seemed perfectly natural and even enjoyable
as the unfamiliar jiggle started. I looked down to see
the source of the feeling, and found the large, supple
breasts that now were part of my body. I knew when I
chose her, that this body was well-shaped and
sexually attractive, but I didn't realize that it was so
attractive. I stroked my nipples lightly with my
fingertips, noticing how little my long, slender hands
looked against my soft and tender flesh.
Despite my pleasure in achieving my goal of becoming
a female that could enter that accursed kingdom, my
new body was very unfamiliar to me. Spreading my
legs slightly, I reached down and slowly ran the flat of
my palm and fingers against the smoothness of my
soft, warm vulva. My middle finger nestled deep into
the central valley that carried under and behind,
connecting my vagina with the cleavage of my rounded
buttocks.
I smiled slightly, dragging my fingers against my
clitoris as I withdrew my hand. I held one leg straight
out and watched curve-hugging ribbons of candle light
slide along my bare, silken skin. My luxurious hair
tickled my back and shoulders. I spotted the clothes
on the other side of the bed and, naturally assuming
that they were now mine and I needed to dress myself.
I try to sit up and Torkak's voice from the dark back of
the room says "Maa died shortly after you passed out.
We carried his body out to the burial chamber where I
buried him in my crypt with appropriate honors
befitting my best friend. We put the woman's body in
Maa's bed and let her sleep. Your body died and is in
the burial chamber. Tomorrow morning, we will give
your body a burial fitting for a warrior. I would like for
you to leave tomorrow. What do I call you?"
"My name" I paused because my voice sounded
different and I was surprised by the sound of it. ".....is
Maya. I am........seventeen years old now." Somehow I
knew that was her name and how old she was. It
surprised me how easy her name came to my lips.
"Get dressed and join me in my library." he
commanded as he walked out.
I pulled the covers off and eased my legs onto the floor.
I caught just a glimpse of my legs and they look so frail
after being used to my muscular legs. It takes a
moment to get my balance and then I walk very
unsteadily over to a full length mirror. I hold onto one
side of the mirror to balance myself as I look at my
face. It is beautiful with it's long eyelashes, high
cheekbones and voluptuous lips. The hair is dark and
shoulder length, with a natural curl.
I slowly pull the nightgown off and let it drop to the
floor. I'm naked. My new body is the body that every
woman desires but few have. I realized that whoever
she had been, she worked hard to maintain such a
beautiful shape. Looking into the mirror, I knew that
she took care of her body and was proud of the way
that she looked. I slid my delicate fingers into the hair
at the temples, gently massaging the sides of my head
as I looked into my new eyes. My long, dark lashes
look so strange and it is difficult to believe that is
really me.
My new body is about five foot six, which is eight
inches shorter than my previous height. I weigh about
one hundred and twenty pounds, with large breasts.
The breasts have long nipples and ride high on my
chest. My tummy is flat and smooth. My hips have
padding but aren't huge. Between my legs, is a small
mound buried behind a mass of dark pubic hair. My
legs are long and slender. I smile as I look at this
wonderful body and realize that it belongs to me. This
is now me.
I crossed my long, silken legs and tossed back my dark
long hair, watching myself in the mirror. I looked very
female and attractive. Now if I could only become as
comfortable with being a woman as any natural
woman is. The stark, impossible contrast with my
previous form made my realize the extreme difference
that existed between the sexes. But since I've got to
live out my life in this body, I thought, at least I'm a
knockout. That'll make things nicer for me.
There is a knock at the door and before I can respond,
a woman enters. She sees me standing there naked
and says "Beg pardon, but his lordship asked me to
help you dress. and" she paused before continuing "to
make sure that you know how to handle female
problems. My name is Carah"
She handed me some underclothes. I'm very familiar
with women's underclothes, having helped a lot of
women undress, but I've never helped anyone dress. If
it hadn't been for the maid, it would have taken me all
night just to get all of those hooks and buttons on
correctly.
My corset had a quarter bra at the top which did
nothing but push the breasts up and out, and it had
eight garters at the bottom. Although it looked very
soft and feminine, it was heavily boned and was made
to literally shape the figure to an hour-glass form. It
laced in the front and as we pulled the laces together, I
could feel my body changing shape. My waist was
being cinched in very tight, and the top and bottom of
me was getting bigger. When I got through with the
lacing, my breasts were barely inside the quarter bra
they had been pushed up and out so much, and I was
really sticking out in the back.
I didn't like the corset because it put so much
pressure on my waist and breasts. After we got it on
me, I couldn't move without it rubbing against me. I
don't see how women wear these damn things.
I slipped into the casual white dress that had been
lying across the sheets, letting its soft, delicate fabric
slide down my curvaceous form until it came to rest
against my body. I'm not used to wearing such
softness. I look at myself in the mirror again. The dress
has a curve-hugging waist and a V-neck that showed
my ample cleavage to its best effect. The sensuous
woman staring back at me was beautiful. It was
difficult to believe that only the day before, I had been
a virile stud warrior.
Carah helped me brush my hair and to pin it up. I
watched her as she fixed my hair and once I reached
up and did something automatically without thinking
what I was doing. Then I realized that I had never done
that before and it must be Maya's memories. As the
maid helps me, I see a nasty scar on the other side of
her face. She sees me looking at it and says "My
husband was drunk one day and did that to me. I
promised him that I would kill him if he ever drank
again. The next time, he got drunk and came after me,
I killed him with my knife. Lord Torkak could have
sentenced me to die but he offered me a new life
working for him."
She showed me to the library where Torkak was
waiting on me. As I entered the library, he stood and
approached me. He offered me his hand and I looked
at him as he suggested "You must learn how to act as
a woman."
I took his hand and let him escort me to a chair. When
I sat down, he exclaimed "Ladies don't sit like that."
I looked at my position and changed the way I was
sitting. He smiled and interjected "Being in a woman's
body is one thing. Learning to act and look like a
woman is a different thing. Instead of going back to
Valdar on horseback, you will be going in a coach,
accompanied by some of my guards and your new
maid. I give Carah to you. She will help you learn how
to be a woman and how to act as a woman. I know
that you planned on changing into a warrior woman's
outfit and riding horseback, but you need to be able to
convince everyone that you're really a woman. Going
by coach will only add one week to your many year
journey and may make just the difference that you
need."
I responded "I'll look like a woman and act like a
woman. But I'll never be a woman. I enjoy sex but my
purpose in this body, is to destroy Cak. I'll not have
sex as a woman.
Torkak looked at me and sipped his drink as he replied
"Hell of a waste of a good body."
"I live only for my mission, which is to destroy Cak. I
look at being in this body as I look at my real body
aging or being damaged in battle. Being in this body is
a handicap and I'll learn to live and adapt with this
handicap. I'll make the best of being here and will use
this body to destroy Cak. I don't enjoy being here but
this is my only way to get past his barrier." I
pronounced each word carefully, listening to the softer
sounds of my new voice.
He affirmed "You're my friend and my ally. I've seen
you win fights that most people would lose, by taking
risks that are very dangerous. You're doing it again.
You've risked your soul, your very existence upon this
one method to get in, knowing that you will only have
one chance to strike. Well, my friend, you must learn
to use this body and know it's weaknesses as you
knew your other body. It is not strong as your other
body, so you must throw away your brute force
methods and use your cunning and skill. Whether you
like it or not, this body is the body that you must live
in. You're now a woman and must learn to be a
woman. This includes not only learning how to look
like a woman, but how to think like a woman, how to
act as a woman, how to react as a woman and how to
love as a woman. Until you've got those skills
mastered, you cannot use this body to it's fullest, in
your damn quest."
"Thank you, my friend, for your advice. I'll think about
it and will try to abide by it. Please understand that
I'm having difficulties with adapting. I've always looked
upon women as a toy or a moment's diversion. They
cook for me and they bear my children. They clean my
house and wait for my return from battle. Although I
know that I'm a warrior, no one will ever treat me a
warrior again because of this body. Entering this body
was almost the ultimate sacrifice and I didn't do this
lightly. I didn't do it to see what it is like to be on the
receiving end of a big cock. I plan to look and act as a
woman only as needed for my quest. I'll have sex with
a man only to get closer to Cak." I acknowledged.
Torkak shifted positions in his chair and rang a little
bell that was sitting on a table. A door opened and a
servant entered carrying my weapons belt and sword.
Torkak stated "Maya, may I introduce my good servant
and friend, Josm."
"Hello, Josm." I responded.
He nodded and stood beside Torkak. Torkak re-lit his
pipe and puffed on it for a moment before continuing
"Josm is my best friend now that Maa has passed on.
Before Maa died, he asked me to do something and I
don't know it's purpose or reason. I just want you to
see Josm and to know that if you ever see him again,
he is speaking for me and acting in my behalf. With
my declining health, I can't travel the way that I used
to."
I looked at Josm and responded "I'll honor Josm as I
would honor you. My door will always be open to him."
"What do you wish to do with your sword?" he asked.
I walked over and tried to pick it up. It was heavier
than I expected. I was able to pick it up with one hand
but I wasn't able to hold it out unless I used both
hands. I raised it over my hand and swung it around
once, almost losing my balance.
Torkak laughed and noted "You were a very strong
man. When you added your brute force to the skill of
your sharp sword, nothing could survive your blows."
I looked at my sword and whispered in my now
feminine voice "I wish to take it with me and to hang it
over my future mantel."
Torkak nodded and continued "I trust the driver I've
selected for your coach. He will look after it for you."
********
The next morning, I stood by the bonfire and watched
my body burn. They built a large wooden platform that
my body was laid on and wood was piled under and
around. Torkak gave a speech about the great warrior
Karak and his battles. Then he wished Karak luck on
his long journey. He handed me a lit firebrand and
gave me the honor of lighting the fire. Some of his men
looked at me funny. Here was a young woman doing
an honor that only a high officer or lord can do. Some
of them knew that I was a captures slave, yet I'm
walking free with Torkak and being given this high
honor.
After the funeral, Torkak gave me a coach, some
women's clothing, some warrior woman's clothes, my
maid, some of my gold and two troops of his calvery.
He waved good-by as we pulled out of his castle.
Over the next several days, I learned a lot about my
new body. I really learned the most when my period
started and all those damn cramps hit me. I was very
glad that I had the coach then.
During our journey, I worked out during our stops.
Although this body will never be muscular, it has to
have enough strength to carry me through my quest.
The men watched me as I changed into my warrior
woman's tunic and practiced my fighting techniques.
The men all volunteered to fight me so they could
grouple with me and during several practice sessions, I
was felt all over as we did close hand to hand fighting.
One man went so far as to run his hand under my
tunic while he laid on top of me.
If it hadn't been for Captain Wakken, his soldiers
would have raped me several times over. Captain
Wakken warned me that he was to escort me through
a very rough kingdom and then turn back, leaving me
with only six soldiers to guard me. He recommended
that I hone my fighting skill prior to that turnaround
point. I agreed with him and doubled my practice.
I quickly learned that I had to depend upon speed and
skill instead of my former muscles. Where I would just
smash my way through before, now I would retreat,
jab, parry, and watch for my moment.
As I honed my fighting skills, I also honed my woman
skills. I quickly got used to remembering bits and
pieces of things that I knew that I knew nothing about.
I could remember my uncle raping me when I was
twelve. I could remember a little trick that my mother
taught me on brushing my hair. After only a couple of
weeks, I was very used to sharing the Maya memories.
I quickly became used to the jiggle of the boobs as I
walked or moved. I discovered that men looked at my
chest before they looked at my face. I also discovered
that I couldn't pee standing up.
My eating habits had to change. I used to eat many
plate loads of food because my body burned it off so
fast. Not only could this body not hold that much food,
but it quickly gained weight. Within my first week of
being in this body, I had to learn how to limit my food
intake and to lose the extra weight that I quickly
packed on.
*******
After two weeks of travel, Captain Wakken announced
that he would be turning back the following morning
and pointed out the six soldiers that I would be
traveling the rest of the way with. I looked at the six
and declared "You can't leave me along with those
men. They are the roughest of the bunch. I need help
in getting to Valdar."
Captain Wakken boomed in a deep baritone voice
"Torkak gave me explicit directions on which men to
give you. He informed me to tell you that these men
are his last gift to you. That if you can survive them,
then you can survive almost anything. He hinted that
you would know what he was referring to."
I looked at the men and knew that he was right. In the
last two weeks, I had come a long way but had further
to go. These men would definitely give me trouble
when we were alone and if I couldn't control them,
then I would never make it through Valdar.
********
Wakken and the main force had only turned back
about one hour when the first trouble started. I was
wearing my warrior tunic and running beside the
coach. I wasn't wearing my weapons. One of the
soldiers rode up and picked me up as he rode by. I
ignored my first impulses and let him carry me for a
couple of feet. Then I commanded firmly "Put me
down."
He laughed and advised "You're just what I'm looking
for in my life. A beautiful woman with gold."
I slapped him hard and he threw me to the ground. As
he got off of his horse, I hit him in the back of the head
with a rock. He went down on the ground and I turned
quickly to dodge another man who was slipping behind
me. There are three of them now after me, not
counting the one I knocked out.
I dodged a punch thrown at me and stepped in long
enough to kick him in the balls. As he went down, I
was grabbed from behind and went down. We rolled in
the dirt and his heavier weight was impossible for me
to move. He quickly pinned my arms together and held
me as the other one grabbed my kicking feet. My tunic
was ripped off of me and they were trying to spread my
legs so they could rape me.
I was hitting him, but my punches weren't having any
affect. As I struck him, he joked, "Well, Honey, it
doesn't matter whether you want to or not, you're
going to put out for us."
He jerked my head back, using my hair to pull me
down as his heavy weight held me to the ground. A
hand grabbed my right ankle and a big, booming bass
voice commanded, "Spread those beautiful legs some
more. I'm getting hard just looking at them."
The asshole holding me down was trying to hold me
with one hand, while his other hand was groping my
breasts. He laughed, "Yea, and I love these boobs. They
are so firm and just demand sucking. I've been
wanting to suck them ever since I saw them hanging
out of her dress at the funeral."
I was kicking and heard someone gasp, "Go ahead, do
anything that you want. She's not going to resist after
she gets a cock in her." And I felt a hand grab my left
foot as his other hand begin to slowly move up my leg
toward my knee.
I jerked but couldn't move under the weight of these
heavy men. When he got to the bottom of my skirt, he
went underneath it and kept right on going. I wanted
to scream out and say stop but that was impossible. I
tried to move to get away from that probing hand, but I
was held so tight that I couldn't move at all.
One of them suggested, "Why don't you raise her skirt?
Let's see what she has in those panties."
I felt my skirt being pulled up and ripped off of me. I
knew they had exposed my bare thighs above the tops
of my leggings, and I could feel the cool air on my
panties, and I began to struggle.
Then the man with bass voice yelled, "If I put my cock
in her mouth, do you think that she would suck it or
try to bite it off."
I tried to knee the man laying on top of me, but he felt
it coming and stopped it. Then he grunted as he called
out, "She ain't going to cooperate. I wouldn't trust my
cock in her mouth yet."
In an instant, I felt the cool air as my panties were
pulled down, and one of them hollered, "Hooray,
hooray. Would you look at that!"
I felt a rough tongue flicking back and forth across my
vagina. I didn't know who it was but I wasn't going to
lay there and take it.
I was kicking and scratching and biting for everything
that I was worth. The man spreading my legs was
trying to get his cock out when he jerked his head
upwards and slowly fell on top of me. The man holding
my hands let go and I scrambled out from under the
soldier that was pinning me down. I see a knife
sticking out of his back and standing twenty feet away
is Carah and the coach driver. The driver has another
knife balanced in his hand waiting for someone to do
something. He asked "What do you want me to do
Miss?"
I looked at the soldier lying dead at my feet and at my
ripped clothes. I removed my ripped tunic and threw it
to the ground. I looked at the soldier that had held me.
I commanded quietly "Strip those clothes off. You and I
are going to have a fair fight."
He laughed and started taking off his uniform. The
coach driver came up and declared "He's a mean one. I
think you should let me kill him and then we can keep
going."
"No, I've got to prove something to him and to myself."
I declared with a strong hint of anger in my voice.
I helped the driver tie up the other soldiers. Then I
stated "The coach is going to drive on and will stop one
hour from here where they will sit up camp. If you
show up there, you're free to get your clothes and go
on. You and I are going to play tag. If you can catch me
and rape me, then you can take the gold also. All
you've got to do is catch me."
I walked thirty feet away and yelled loudly to the driver
"Pull out of here. See you in the morning."
As the coach pulled away, the soldier charged me. I
easily dodged him and evaded him on his bull like
rush.

It is late night and the driver has built a fire. The other
solders are still tied up and the driver is waiting. I
slowly walk into camp and he sees me coming. He
runs and helps me to the fire. I can use his assistance.
Carah puts a blanket around my body. In the firelight,
I can see scratches and blood on my body. I'm dirty
and very thirsty. He asks "What happened?"
I take a deep drink of the coffee and quietly say "He
almost caught me. I'm faster and in better shape. I was
able to dodge him and outrun him. I pushed him until
he was exhausted and then I came in to tease him. He
wasn't as exhausted as I expected and he almost
caught me. We rolled on the ground and he pinned me
a couple of times but he couldn't get it into me. I
escaped but twisted my ankle. We fought and I had to
kill him with my bare hands. I left him out there and
he still had an erection, even in death."
I look around at the tied up soldiers and quietly say
"Who wants to take me on tomorrow morning?"
No one says anything. I get slowly to my knees and
limp to my bedspread under the coach where I fall
asleep quickly. When I wake up in the morning, stiff
and bruised, only the driver, Carah and one soldier are
in the camp.
The driver says "The other ones wanted to quit and it
was easier to turn them loose while they were scared,
then to watch them. This one promised to behave
himself and I think he will."
I looked at him and nodded. I limp down to the stream
and bath myself and put on my clothes. When I
return, breakfast is ready.

The rest of our trip was uneventful except when we
were three days from Valdar, we drove around a bend
and Captain Wakken was waiting on us with ten
