Eager as Kal had been for some more intimate time with Ikuno, the knight’s talk of food had gotten to him. As they walked back into the main living area of the cavern his stomach growled noisily. He stopped in embarrassment, his hands covering the offending body part. Ikuno kept walking over to a small set of wooden shelves that appeared to be made from lashed together saplings with crude planks fitted in for holding items. She grabbed a cloth wrapped bundle and tossed it to Kal. “Here eat this before that knight comes charging in here hoping to kill a giant frog,” she laughed.
“Really...” he answered glaring at her, he couldn’t keep up the annoyed act for more than a few seconds before breaking down and laughing along with the oni. He opened the cloth packet to find some dried meat and cheese, the meat he guessed to be venison though he couldn’t place the spices she had used, the cheese tasted like it was made from goat’s milk but was firmer than he was accustomed.
As he ate he took in his surroundings, having been too distracted to truly examine Ikuno’s home before. It appeared to be around 25 paces long and close to ten wide with a vent hole in the middle of the vaulted roof that smoke from the torches made its way up to before disappearing into darkness. On one side of the room was an oven, like the chair it had been carved out of a boulder, the top was polished to an almost mirror finish that Ikuno was able to cook directly on without the need for pans. To the left of the oven was her makeshift shelving where she kept all her cooking ingredients and where she had gotten his snack from. A few feet away from the other side was the oni’s bed, piled high with thick furs. Kal figured that keeping warm on cold winter nights was easier with the heated rock of the oven close by.
Having already finished her own food Ikuno walked past him and set a white gourd-shaped bottle and a small ceramic cup on the bed then began undoing the buckles and ties that held on her meager clothing. Kal watched entranced as her top came off revealing a wonderful set of large blue breasts each almost as big as his head and topped by dark blue areola the size of his palm. Her nipples were easily as thick as one of his fingers and were noticeably hard.
She ran her hands down her breasts, brushing the nipples with her fingers, then down into the belt that held the furs covering her front and rear. Turning away from Kal she slowly pulled the leathers down revealing the blue globes of her ass followed by her rear pucker and finally her sex which was glistening wetly in the torchlight. Kal was reminded again how much bigger than him she was as she bent over and shook her ass at him, if he wanted to walk over and slip his tongue inside her he would barely have to bend his knees.
Thinking that sounded like fun, he took a step forward. However, the oni had been watching him and quickly stood up, moving out of reach. “Finish your food and tour,” she said picking up the bottle and cup before laying on the bed, “growling bellies can ruin the mood almost as fast as a bunch of obnoxious knights.” Pouring the contents of the bottle into the small cup she raised it up as if making a toast. “I’m going to enjoy some sake while you explore.”
“Sake?”
“Kind of like your corn whiskey but made from rice.” Ikuno downed the clear liquid in the cup, “Onis love the stuff regardless of our color but if we drink too much our skin turns red and we will stay drunk for days, months or even years. Heaven help the poor man who gets caught by a red Oni. If he’s lucky she will be too drunk to keep him from escaping, if not then she’s likely to accidentally fuck him to death.”
“What a way to go,” said Kal popping a piece of cheese into his mouth and continuing his inspection of the cave. Towards the back of the cavern there were no torches and as he got closer he could see large rectangular shapes in the darkness. Once his eyes adjusted to the light he was able to make out two large sets of carefully crafted shelves covered with rows and rows of...
“Books!” he exclaimed with surprise looking back and forth across the shelves. “Where on earth did you get so many?”
Confused, the blue oni looked up from the sake she had been about to drink, “You know how to read?”
Kal kept scanning the shelves with excitement, “My gran thought knowing how to read would be useful for my mother and bought a couple books so she could learn, as I told the knight, my mother passed that on to me. We only have three, but I’ve probably read them hundreds of times.”
“A farmer who can read, you seem to be full of surprises Kal. There’s a table back there with a globe on a stand. Touch the globe.”
Stepping to the very back of the cave Kal saw a table by the wall with a chair next to it. The stand atop the table was a piece of polished wood with the lower leg and claws of some reptile or bird sticking out, in the claws was a ball made of clear crystal. Wondering why she would want him to touch something that looked so valuable he lightly tapped the globe. Pure brilliant light came flooding out of the crystal ball sending stabbing pain into Kal’s eyes, which had become accustomed to the dark. Covering his eyes Kal stumbled out of the oni’s library in pain and confusion, only to be met by uproarious laughter coming from the bed. Once his eyes had recovered he glared at the bed’s occupant who had curled up into a ball and was holding her belly from laughing so hard, one hand holding the bottle upright so she wouldn’t spill its contents. Ikuno looked up and saw him glaring at her, she sat up and tried to put on a straight face but that only lasted a second before she broke down into new peals of laughter collapsing back onto the bed.
“You could have warned me!” Kal said, trying to sound hurt, but the oni’s mirth was infectious and her naked body was reminding him of what was soon to come. It’s hard to stay mad at a woman you are about to sleep with.
Ikuno sat up again, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes, “My apologies Kal, I thought you knew it was a magic lantern.”
Eyes wide with wonder Kal looked over at the glowing orb again, “That’s magic?”
Ikuno smiled, “Yes, books are expensive and some of those are irreplaceable magical tomes. It would not do well to have torches near them. Touch the globe again to put the lantern out and come to bed, you can peruse my collection later. There are other things I would like to do before Sir Knight of such and such gets back.”
Kal cautiously approached the table and tapped the crystal ball again plunging him into darkness. “Well this looks familiar,” he said peering into the darkness as his eyes adjusted once again.
“Let’s see if we can do something that feels familiar too,” said Ikuno from the bed.
Kal turned around and stepped out of the library to see the blue oni lying on her back sideways across the bed, her head hanging off the side and mouth open as she beckoned him over. Kal shed his clothing as he approached, a smile coming to the oni’s face when his pants came off and she saw he was already hard.
He stopped just before reaching her and looked down smiling, “Perhaps it was a good thing it was dark the last time. If I didn’t already know how good it felt I would be terrified of letting those fangs close to me.”
Ikuno just smiled and reached out to grab his hips, pulling him to her. Instead of going into her mouth she pushed his cock up and licked her way down the underside to his balls as she drew him in. Kal groaned as her tongue went to work caressing each in turn and even taking one then the other into her mouth and sucking gently then finally taking both in her mouth at the same time as she teased them with her tongue. Slowly sliding them out of her mouth she placed a small kiss on each and asked Kal, “Would you like to see some more magic?”
Kal groaned at the lack of stimulation, “That felt pretty magical to me but if you have something else in mind...”
Ikuno closed her eyes and placed her lips against the base of his cock, she began whispering words that seemed to ring strangely in Kal’s ears. As she spoke the air around them almost hummed with energy and her words took on a deep eerie echo. As she finished speaking she grasped his hips to hold him firmly in place and nicked the base of his cock with one of her fangs, mixing the couple of drops of blood with some that she got from biting her own lip she used her long tongue to paint a ring around the base of Kal’s penis. When the sides of the circle came together all of the built-up energy in the room seemed to rush into his groin. His cock appeared to glow for a moment before everything returned to normal, the ring disappearing as the spell completed. Kal tried to pull away now that fear was no longer rooting him in place, but Ikuno held him firm. She spoke a few more words, less powerful but still strange to the young farmer, then licked the wounds she had made on his penis as well as her lip, both of them closing and healing over without a trace.
Kal’s eyes were wide and he was visibly shaking when Ikuno finally let him go, “What!? ... What did you do to me!?” he said in a voice that bordered on hysteria.
Ikuno rolled over and took in the shaking boy, immediately regretting not letting him in on her plan. She got off the bed and stepped towards him, “Kal, I’m Sorr...” Wild eyed, Kal backpedaled away from her looking towards the cavern exit. Before he could bolt, her hand shot out and grabbed his arm pulling him into her embrace. Kal’s entire body stiffened with fear. “Be calm Kal,” she whispered stroking his head and back, “I didn’t do anything bad to you, I was just so excited that I forgot you have no experience with magic. Relax and I’ll tell you about your new gift.”
Over the next few minutes Kal slowly relaxed in Ikuno’s arms until with a shuddering sigh he slumped into her chest. “I think I’m okay now,” he said.
“You continue to surprise me farmer boy,” she said with a smile. “I didn’t think you would recover that quickly. Now, as for the spell, would you like me to explain it to you, or just show you? I’ll give you hint: showing you will be a lot more fun.”
“I could use some fun right now,” he replied.
“Good choice!” she picked him up and laid him on the bed, Kal already knew she was strong but wasn’t sure he liked being manhandled so easily. “First things first,” she said then bent down and took his now soft cock into her mouth, worries about being manhandled winked out of existence as his member disappeared behind her soft lips. Ikuno bobbed up and down as her tongue swirled around Kal’s quickly growing prick, in moments she had brought him back to full hardness.
Almost six months had passed since Perra had come to live with Kal and his mother. True to his word Kal visited Ikuno’s cave as often as possible with Perra tagging along whenever she could get her chores caught up, and true to her word Ikuno began teaching Kal the basics of magic. Kal could tell that something was bothering Ikuno in the way she acted these last few weeks and more often than not he would end up going home immediately after these practice sessions with Ikuno getting upset...
Welcome back! There’s a place in this chapter that feels like there should have been a fist bump... Anger, A Master of Stone, A Little More Time For those of you reading The Runesmith Chronicles for the first time I recommend going back and starting at Chapter One. Mostly so you have a better understanding of how things like the magic system works and what’s going on as I often reference earlier chapters.

Fantastic news! A gentleman from here on SOL has been kind enough to become my editor and I have to say ... the man’s good. Made me feel like I was back in my college English class with all the little red marks. Seriously though, I am very impressed with just how better the chapter flows with his changes and suggestions. He does have some stories of his own here on SOL if you want to check them out. https://storiesonline.net/a/Old_Fart Enjoy! Blu Kal was a panicky wreck...
Scowling, Ikuno looked on as Silma and Kal went through the molting process again, she was bothered by last night’s dream but that wasn’t what was making her unhappy at the moment. “What the hell happened to your hair?” the oni growled as they walked over to her. Kal blushed and ran a hand over his bare scalp, “It’s a side effect of cooling down so fast.” Silma nodded in agreement as she stepped up beside him, “It was this or wait a day there and a day back for him to cool down.” The...
After, Obligations, Improvement Edited by: Old Fart Perra and Kahrin both squealed like little girls and came together in a big hug as soon as they saw each other the next morning. After some quick chatter and complaints from both of them about being sore, making Kal curious as to why Kahrin would be sore, the two women disappeared into the back of the inn. Kal sat down next to Bren who was eyeing him warily. “Did I do something wrong, Bren?” Kal asked. The big man grunted and...
Ikuno panted as Kal’s tongue lapped hungrily at her clit, Kal tried to adjust himself as his erection was rubbing uncomfortably against his trousers. “No touching,” Ikuno reminded him putting a hand on the back of his head and pressing him into her sex. Kal growled in annoyance and sucked her clit into his mouth swirling his tongue around until Ikuno gasped and her legs began to shake as she came. Ikuno stepped away and let the leather flap fall hiding her pussy from...
“Hold your breath,” said Ikuno, leaning over as she held the ink behind Kal’s back with the telekinesis cantrip. Kal did as she asked, trying hard to hold down his excitement as Ikuno placed the last and probably most important of his runic tattoos, the healing rune. Cure Poison and Cure Disease were already on his shoulder blades and now the healing rune was going to go right in between. Ikuno had recommended placing it on his back because when attacked the first instinct is to face your...
Ikuno and Kal watched as the Knights made their way back towards the village. While Kal wouldn’t exactly call them friends they didn’t quite fit into the enemy category either, feeling that his chances of ever seeing any of them again were slim he put it out of his mind. Looking up at Ikuno he saw that she was studying him intently. “Is something wrong?” he asked. Ikuno was thoughtful as she studied him, “No, nothing is wrong. At least not yet.” “Not yet? That sounds...
Shared, Lifted, Connected Edited by: Old Fart “I must say, it feels rather homey in here,” said Kal looking around the roc’s cavern. Ikuno stared at him like he had grown a second head, “Have you lost your ever-loving mind? How on earth could this place feel ‘homey’?” Many hours ago, they had gone exploring the roc’s cavern, a task that turned out to be much larger than expected. at the top of the slope was a crossroads that split off in three directions, instead of being a...
Challenged, Drained, Hunted As always votes and feedback are greatly appreciated! Enjoy! Blu Edited by: Old Fart “So, how does it feel?” asked Aradelle, lying with her elbows on one of her petals with her chin resting on her hands. A stray breeze shook the white and blue petal but Aradelle never moved, held up by the two thick vines coming from the center of her flower that turned into her legs. Where those legs met an occasional drip of her clear nectar fell to the petal and ran...
Falling with style, Re-union, Status Edited by: Old Fart Kal stepped out of the tunnel from the storeroom to see Felli standing a few paces away. She was gazing out the cave entrance watching a couple of large birds gliding along the stiff mountain breezes. She turned to look at him and blushed furiously as he stepped up next to her. “A little late for that after what you just saw,” he said watching one of the birds tuck its wings and dive out of sight. Felli blushed even...
Rain pelted Kal and Ikuno as they made their way carefully along the thin mountain trail. They had left Ikuno’s home earlier that morning to return to Aradelle’s forest and crossed over the first mountain without incident. However, as they descended into the valley between that and the second peak, dark clouds had rolled in and a smattering of rain dogged them on the next ascent. As they approached the apex of the trail the weather became even fouler turning into a full-blown downpour with...
Three Knights of the Order of the Lion’s Shield stood in the clearing in front of the cave. It was quiet save for the soft munching from far off to one side next to the wood line as the horses nibbled on the grass nearby. The squires tended to the horses and made sure their leads were secured to nearby trees, though all of them were trained as warhorses to be calm during battles it was better to be safe than spend hours hunting down one that decided to bolt for whatever reason. Near the...
Kal, Ikuno, Bea and one of Aradelle’s vines approached the spectral wolf’s remains in hopes of finding any kind of information. Two long black streaks of decayed plant matter starting just beyond the edge of Aradelle’s clearing led them to where it had met its end. It was easy to see, however, that any hope of evidence pertaining to who sent it and why it was looking for Ikuno had dissolved into a bubbling, smoking pool of sickly yellow blood laced with black streaks. “Any ideas?” asked...
Weeks passed, and the land was blanketed in pristine white snow, travel became more difficult and Kal’s routine now consisted largely of chopping firewood, tending to the animals, chopping firewood checking animal traps, chopping firewood, cleaning and processing furs to sell at market like most farmers in winter, and chopping firewood. Visits to Ikuno’s cave became rarer and Kal had taken to making overnight trips, much to Ikuno’s delight, as the trek seemed to become longer with each new...
Kal cautiously opened his eyes as he returned to the waking world, the heavy furs covering him instead of his normal wool comforter giving him pause. Smiling he remembered he was not at home and turned to the side to see Ikuno peacefully sleeping next to him. Though not as striking as the changes when he first returned to the cave, as he continued to visit her skin color had deepened to a rich cobalt blue and the triangular marks on her cheeks had become almost imperceptible. Her backswept...
Months passed, and winter finally released its grip on the land, patches of snow could still be seen in places where there were significant amounts of shade during the day as well as up on the mountains where the air was colder. Only a handful of conifers were starting to show signs of budding and the forests continued to be bare of leaves except for the occasional evergreen dotted here and there. The winter had come and gone with little fanfare, only one bad snowstorm had made the...
Kal looked down, “Why is it still hard? I haven’t been thinking about anything to keep it that way since Aradelle was about to attack me.” Aradelle shrugged looking embarrassed, Ikuno’s brow furrowed in thought, “perhaps there’s more to ‘Dell’s aphrodisiac then just making men mad with lust. There may be something else in the dust that makes a man hard for a time as well, whether he wants to be or not.” Aradelle looked at Kal, “I don’t know, my dust has always worked, so this has never...
“Umm ... What?” Ikuno smiled but didn’t lift her head off his shoulder, “I’ll explain later, take me to bed.” Kal started walking again, “Sounds like there’s going to be a lot of that later, like how you ended up overloaded with magic.” Kal walked into the mouth of the cave, Ikuno snapped her fingers and a ball of light formed before them, leading the way into the darkness. Ikuno was thoughtful, “I have an idea about that...” “KAL! IKUNO! Are you alright!” came Perra’s voice,...
Moved, Night Out, Sharing, Upward Edited by: Old Fart “Come back safe, Kal,” said Perra as she laid in bed with the covers pulled back so Kal could take in the candlelit view of her naked body. He paused every few minutes in his preparations for his extended trip into the mountains to kiss and run his hands over her skin. She was putting herself on display for him and he wanted there to be no doubt in her mind he appreciated it. He was disappointed that he didn’t have the extra time...

Fantasy & Sci-FiWelcome back! A small step away from Kal and Sera in the beginning of this one but it accomplishes something I’ve wanted to do since Book 1 For those of you reading The Runesmith Chronicles for the first time I recommend starting with the first book, Oni and the Farmer.

Welcome back! Some Femdom in this one, not really my thing but it fit the character, so I rolled with it. It’s curious, I saw some vids of FemDom porn a while back (researching art references for Ikuno) and in all of them I would have told these tall, muscular women to go fuck themselves with a sand-coated dildo if they treated me like that. However, when I wrote the part in this chapter I don’t have that same reaction and I don’t understand why. As I said ... curious. For those of you...

Fantasy & Sci-FiKal opened his eyes and sighed, part of him had been hoping he would wake up in his own bed, or better yet Ikuno’s, but all that greeted him was the dim green glow of the cavern he fell asleep in. He wasn’t sure what woke him up whether it was the pangs from his empty belly or the morning wood proudly making a tent in his trousers. Since he could only take care of one of those problems at the moment, he got up and walked over to the crack in the floor that his tiny water source ran to....

Fantasy & Sci-FiLater that morning Kal found himself in a very unexpected situation: riding piggyback on Ikuno. She was taking advantage of the natural trail that ran along the base of the mountain range. The oni surmised that it had been made over many years by herds of game animals traveling north and being turned aside by the steep mountain faces, eventually creating a decently wide path. Kal had used it a few times to get to Ikuno’s but it wasn’t significantly faster for him to go north to the trail and...
Fantasy & Sci-FiKal was a panicky wreck by the time Gerda brought them back up onto the trail not far from Ikuno’s pool. He had failed to realize that, even though Gerda ‘flew’ through the stone at a good pace, the trip back to Ikuno’s cave would still take nearly a full hour. With no means of communicating with Gerda, he had no choice but to deal with his phobia and wait until they resurfaced.Once he had gotten his wits about him and recovered from the journey, he explained to Ikuno and Gerda what the issue...
Fantasy & Sci-FiKal, Ikuno, and Gerda rose up out of the mountain trail just a handful of paces from the edge of Aradelle’s forest. Kal stepped away and bent over to catch his breath as soon as the rock holding his and Gerda’s hands together receded. He glared over at Ikuno who was smirking at him; she seemed to be having no trouble at all with this new method of getting around. He honestly wasn’t sure if he was ever going to grow accustomed to traveling through solid rock in such a manner.As they stepped off...
Fantasy & Sci-FiThe girls did their best to wear him out last night and Kal planned on sleeping in, but Sera had different ideas. There was a knock on his bedroom door and Kal looked down at the gorgon who was happily suckling his half-hard cock after treating him to a good-morning blowjob. At his questioning look, the gorgon just shrugged and closed her eyes, returning to her task. “Come in!” he called out. Velt peeked her head around the door before walking in followed by Graff. Neither of them paid the...
Ikuno!" Kal yelled above the howling wind, "Do you know of any caves nearby that we can wait this out!" "If there are, they aren't on this trail!" she called back from just ahead of him. "What about if you made us one the way you made your pool!" he yelled. "I can't!" she answered partly turning to look at him, "Using magic during a… Kal!" she shouted as she saw him slip on a particularly smooth rock slickened further by the rain. falling too quickly to catch himself she...
Ikuno and Kal watched as the Knights made their way back towards the village. While Kal wouldn’t exactly call them friends, they didn’t quite fit into the enemy category either. Feeling that his chances of ever seeing any of them again were slim he put it out of his mind. Looking up at Ikuno he saw that she was studying him intently. “Is something wrong?” he asked. Ikuno was thoughtful as she studied him. “No, nothing is wrong. At least not yet.” “Not yet? That sounds ominous.” “Nothing to...
"No touching," she said breathlessly, putting a hand on the back of his head and pressing his face into her. Kal growled in annoyance, the vibration making her body shudder for a moment. He sucked her clit into his mouth, swirling his tongue around the sensitive nub until the oni gasped and her legs began to shake, flooding his mouth with her fluids as she came. The oni stepped away and let the leather flap fall, hiding her pussy from him. "Now-now," she said smiling as her breathing...
Once he had gotten his wits about him and recovered from the journey, he explained to Ikuno and Gerda what the issue was. Ikuno's solution was predictable, stripping him down and pushing him into Gerda's arms for a naked make-out session as they sunk down into the stone below. After some time being distracted from his surroundings by dueling tongues and heavy petting with the golem girl, he reemerged slightly more comfortable with the situation. However, Kal still wasn't sold on the...
Almost six months had passed since Perra had come to live with Kal and his mother. True to his word, Kal visited Ikuno's cave as often as possible with Perra tagging along whenever she could get her chores caught up.

The winter came and went with little fanfare, only one bad snowstorm made the two-hour travel to Ikuno's cave impossible for close to a month. When he finally made the trek, the oni attacked Kal like a feral animal upon arrival, shredding his clothes and throwing him on the bed in her haste to get him inside her. Ikuno felt horrible for her actions afterwards, apologizing over and over for her loss of control until Kal began laughing, telling her that if she hadn't already been naked when he...
CHAPTER 1 The young farmer hesitated as he stepped up to the large hole in the rocky side of the mountain. The last time he was here his experience had been amazing. Now that he was once again standing at the cave’s entrance he was beginning to regret his decision to come back. The boy had come to the delightful conclusion that the cavern’s tenant was likely out and about in the forest. With the cave unoccupied it would be best for him to return home with much haste. Heavy footsteps from...
Chapter 2 Eager as Kal had been for some more intimate time with Ikuno, the knight’s talk of food had gotten to him. As they walked back into the main cavern’s living area his stomach growled noisily. He stopped in embarrassment, his hands covering the offending body part. Ikuno kept walking over to a small set of wooden shelves that appeared to be made from lashed-together saplings with crude planks fitted in for holding items. She grabbed a cloth-wrapped bundle and tossed it to Kal. “Here...
"Umm… What?" Ikuno smiled but didn't lift her head off his shoulder, "I'll explain later, take me to bed." Kal started walking again, "Sounds like there's going to be a lot of that, like how you ended up overloaded with magic." Kal walked into the mouth of the cave, Ikuno snapped her fingers and a ball of light formed before them, leading the way into the darkness. Ikuno was thoughtful, "I have an idea…" "KAL! IKUNO!

Aradelle shrugged, looking embarrassed, while Ikuno’s brow furrowed in thought. “Perhaps there’s more to ‘Dell’s aphrodisiac than just making men mad with lust,” suggested the oni. “There may be something else in the dust that makes a man hard for a time as well, whether he wants to be or not.” Aradelle looked at Kal, “I don’t know, my dust has always worked, so this has never happened before.” Kal wrapped a hand around his prick for a moment before quickly pulling it away, “Damn, that’s...
“I must say, it feels rather homey in here,” said Kal looking around the roc’s cavern.Ikuno stared at him like he had grown a second head, “Have you lost your ever-loving mind? How on earth could this place feel ‘homey’?”Many hours ago, they had gone exploring the roc’s cavern, a task that turned out to be much larger than expected. at the top of the slope was a crossroads that split off in three directions, instead of being a single large cavern. The southern path sloped down before opening up...
Fantasy & Sci-FiThree hours and five failed attempts later he finally had a small oval moonstone that matched his desired dimensions exactly. Kal looked over at Gerda. She had gotten rid of the stool once she was done eating the other crystal and instead made a bed to lay on. He chuckled when he realized that the bed she made was an exact stone replica of Ikuno’s, even down to the headboard.Kal wrapped the completed moonstone in a piece of linen and placed it in his pack then went over to the napping rock...
Fantasy & Sci-FiTwo figures silently made their way up to Carriston’s wall, stopping just outside of the light of the torches placed along the ramparts. They had spent the last few minutes carefully observing the city’s Night Watch and were now just biding their time, waiting for their opportunity to get inside. A couple of guards stopped and talked for a moment directly above the place he and Ria had scouted out earlier. It was in the very center of the fortification between watchtowers and there were no...
After bringing the new linens and taking the old ones behind the inn to be washed, Perra and the new father made a second trip to get bowls of stew for the new parents and the midwife. Perra was a bit scandalized by the mother’s state of undress until she was forcefully reminded by the woman that Kal had just helped deliver her baby and saved both of their lives as well as being there for her daughter’s first meal, there wasn’t much sense in being bashful now.Perra’s mood didn’t improve when...
Fantasy & Sci-FiIt wasn’t long before Kal and Sandy discovered that their activities while traveling were impractical for such a long journey. After a few stops, he pulled his pants up and respectfully declined the golem’s offered rear end, for now. Though disappointed, Sandy accepted the promise of pleasures to come. The golem then secured him in the harness once again before dropping them into the floor of the small cave. After a quick pause to get her bearings, they continued their way north. Later on,...
Strong hands grabbed him and held him up as the snakes of the woman’s hair reached out and sunk their fangs into various body parts. The venom allowed the gorgon to move Kal’s body in the area where he’d been bitten. Getting him standing, she pulled him over and leaned him up against a nearby wall. Terror gripped Kal’s mind. He was still recovering from the shock of believing he was about to die when the searing pain from the snakes’ venom began exploding everywhere they bit him. It faded...
As Kal prepared breakfast he directed the wolf girl towards a small alcove next to the entrance that offered a restroom and shower. She arrived back at the fire pit as he plated their meals, feeling refreshed and relaxed now that she was clean again for the first time in months. Looking her naked body up and down, Kal admitted to selfishly anticipating getting enough food into the girl so her ribs no longer showed. Just getting her hydrated had made most of them fade and done wonders for her...
‘In pain’ wasn’t the most comfortable way to wake up but Kelthor welcomed it this time, it was better than opening his eyes and finding himself in the afterlife. He discovered that attempting to open his eyes was a bad idea, as pain once again lanced through his head from the daylight pouring into the room. On a more pleasant note, it was certainly nice waking up to the feeling of a naked woman pressed against his side. Rose had crawled into bed beside him and rested her head on his...
Rain pelted Kal and Ikuno as they made their way carefully along the thin mountain trail. They had left Ikuno’s home earlier that morning to return to Aradelle’s forest and crossed over the first mountain without incident. However, as they descended into the valley between that and the second peak, dark clouds had rolled in and a smattering of rain dogged them on the next ascent. As they approached the apex of the trail, the weather became even fouler turning into a full-blown downpour with...
Fantasy & Sci-Fi“Of all the rotten luck,” growled Kal. Sera clung tightly to his back as he used the haste rune to keep pace with Velt and Graff, their animal-shifted arms and legs speeding them through the bare forest far faster than the gorgon could hope to keep up. Behind them twenty Lantaran soldiers gave chase, hooting, yelling and banging their swords against their shields. “They’re driving us!” he called out to the fox and rabbit. It was a common hunting tactic, flushing the game, pushing it toward...
