Adria's Adventures - Part 16

Part 16

I giggle "because I wanted to thank him for the gifts, and he is not as bad as you two seem to think, he is quite hot actually."

Talia shudders a bit but tries her best to hide her disgust, probably worried I might force her to make Rahim happy. The thought does cross my mind, but I am not sure Rahim would like that.

Heather looks confused but then smiles "please leave a note next time so we do not have to worry. I saw Kenny with that lass by the way, giggling in the garden and kissing, while I was looking for you out there, Kenny and Jenny thank you really much for helping them find each other. They even helped me search for you, and then they said that Idri should be able to find you, we got very scared when he did not. Even he looked worried and Laurel and Quinn looked totally devastated. We should go tell them you are alright."

I nod and get into one of my little exotic dance outfits, a fur bikini for when I am trying to look like a savage wild fey, I know that many a man dreams of taming such a woman, and some of being captured by her. I also put on matching soft fur boots and to match the outfit I take out a necklace of teeth taken from creatures that I had actually slain myself after they attacked me, and cooked over fires to eat, I was quite proud of that necklace, I took a long spear out of my bag, and carried it to complete the picture, it had a head made out of volcanic glass that I had blasted out of a rock with the passionate magical energy from my night of lustful lovemaking with two satyrs, it is quite vicious and seems to like to hit the hearts of things I use the spear on, having drenched itself in the heart blood of over a hundred creatures that chose to attack me, including ten men, I shook my wet hair and ruffled it a bit giving it a wild unkempt look, though I did look in the mirror to make sure it also looked hot.

Talia's eyes went wide at my chosen attire and she bit her lip, she who normally prefers refined, rich people, who dress expensively, was actually getting really turned on by this savage before her "Adria, you have no idea how much you are turning me on right now."

I smiled at her and giggled "oh I do, and I will enjoy stripping you out of your panties tonight." I said and giggled.

Heather looked at me with hungry eyes and a little bit of envy too "I want to have an outfit like that, and be able to look that hot in it."

I smiled "I think we should all three get outfits like this and do a show later, I will have to teach you gals how to handle spears, or maybe swords, spear and sword dances are really tricky, but hot. But let's go to our friends and make sure they know I am safe." with that I left and started heading for the club, for some reason sensing Idri was there, trusting my enhanced senses. As we arrived I saw Idri, Kenny, Quinn, Laurel, Jenny and the three bouncers that I had still not learned the names of and I felt a bit bad about that. "I am sorry I worried you guys, I was not aware I would though, as I spent the night with Rahim."

Idri looked surprised and smiled "interesting, good for Rahim, about time you got some tail old friend" he said, the last bit whispered and looks a little bit conflicted, jealous and yet happy for his friend.

Everyone else looks relieved and smile as they see me. The men all look at me and seem to loose track of time, and I can see bulges forming in their pants. The girls all look too, but seem able to not go all blank in the head and then they notice the guys and giggle looking into my eyes and roll their eyes a bit too.

"Excuse me a bit" I said and grabbed Idri and pulled him along with me to the back of the club "I have more questions, to sate my curiosity, I hope you will indulge me and answer truthfully."

"Of course" Idri said and smiled "when I was in the desert, I was tracking people with magic, and heading their way, and that was how I got to the tower where the door to here was, but I don't think my spell would have reached past the door into your realm, and the golem would not count as a person, so what was my spell sensing?"

Idri thinks a bit seeming to consider if he wants to tell me or not and then says "ah, well, I placed my door carefully to block the rest of the cellar in that tower, there was a dried old well there, with steps cut into the sandstone sides, leading down, and a two hour climb down to the bottom later you would have found the bottom of the well and a small network of slightly moist tunnels, at the time there was a hunting party of Groneks there, they still patrol the old tunnels, but no longer raid the surface since their raids already destroyed the caravans that once traversed the white desert, there is simply never anything to raid, but sometimes people from under the mountains get lost and reach these upper tunnels. You probably sensed them with your spell, and you should be glad I did not let you find them."

I furrowed my brow a bit "Gronek? What is that? Never heard of that, and why I am lucky to not be allowed to find them?"

Idri grimaces a bit. "Groneks, are a people shaped by the event that created the white desert, they are a cross of humans, elves, orcs and a little of every other race they encountered or who lived down there, corrupted by the magic of the event. As a female you would perhaps depending on your point of view be lucky not to be killed right away like men tend to be, at least if the hunting group was all males, they would likely have fought over who got to own you, and then they would have used you, or tried to use you, as a breeding mare, their corrupted seed might even have cured your affliction and made you become pregnant. You would also be fed meat from the ones who did not win you. You see they eat other races and their own. Had you the misfortune to encounter one of their females she would have claimed you as her own and let all her males rape you until you died from it, and if you survived she would have killed you, she would have eaten your ovaries and womb, letting the men have the rest of you."

My hand clutched the spear really tightly, knuckles becoming white and I felt rage boiling inside me.

Idri noticed "do you want to know more? Or should I stop?"

I nodded "go on, I want to know about monsters so I can better fight them or avoid them."

Idri nods and frowns "if the males bring you all the way home, without a female deciding to kill you, you will be added to his mistress' breeding pens, they keep other races there to breed with, male children are eaten by the females, female children are allowed to grow up to be breeding stock, until the fifth generation when they are considered females of the Gronek's though the higher generation a female has the higher her rank, and the more obvious the corruption from the magic of the event becomes. When non Gronek females can no longer breed they are fed to the males. The non Gronek females are fed only the mushrooms that grow in the caverns deep below the white desert. Groneks will also eat this if they do not have a large enough breeding stock or luck with raiding the other species they share the underground with. It is not tasty food."

I look at Idri "thank you for preventing me from encountering them, I would not have liked that fate, even if it cured me, I could not have accepted my sons being killed like that, nor my daughters becoming cattle for their sick people."

Idri frowns and looks really sad "I... I have wanted to go down there to kill them all, but the magic of the event prevents me from passing below the surface, they..." he looks into my eyes "they have a very close friend of mine captured, her powerful regenerative healing is a huge curse for her now, rather than a blessing, she has used her magic to prevent them from impregnating her, and as such instead she got fed upon, and is one of the prime food sources of one of the tribes of Groneks, not being able to die is her curse, and there is nothing I can do to help her." he actually has tears roll down his cheeks and is shaking "I... I am sorry, it is not your problem and I should not have burdened you with it..."

I hug him close and look up into his eyes "I... I want to save her, but first I need to visit Laurel and Quinn, and see if they can be parents of my children, once that is done if I can get better equipment and you have some idea of where to go, I want to save her. With all the power I sense in me I think I can deal with them, unless they have magic."

Idri gazes into my eyes "if you save her, your debt is gone and you will be rewarded greatly becoming the richest noble here. Rahim will likely also want to reward you for it, the three of us have been friends a long time. I will get you anything you think you might need for that and perhaps we can send others with you."

I shake my head "no, if I do this, I do it alone, I do not want to risk hurting others, either by my own magic or by failing."

Idri kisses me and then as we break the kiss he wipes the tears from his face "you go ahead and talk with the others, I am going to try my best to prepare a map of the underground by scrying, that is going to take a while for me, but you will need one I think..."

I nod and head over to the others and Talia looks at me "you look furious" she says, the others all look at me and I notice that my eyes are smouldering with purple energies and my hand is still gripping my spear hard, I take a slow deep breath and then exhale slowly and manage to relax and I nod "I learned of something I can't let stand" I then explain the situation in less detail than Idri did and I see Laurel get nearly an identical furious look about her "those foul evil Groneks, we must help her with her quest Quinn, the mother of our children can not be allowed to fail."

Quinn seems to consider and then nods "when you come for the visit with us, you can visit the vault and pick any magic item you like from there and I will pay the mages for any enchantments or magic you might want in addition to that."

I turn to Kenny and Jenny "you two won't mind if I postpone spending time with you I hope, I think I would like to visit Laurel and Quinn right away, to conclude my business with them."

Jenny giggles and shakes her head "though I really hope you will show me techniques later so I can make Kenny more happy."

I look to Talia and Heather "Talia you will show Jenny everything you know on how to please a man and if you Heather agree you can also do that and the two of you can also teach her what you know about pleasing women." Talia nods "yes mistress, gladly." and Heather giggles "Kenny we may need more than you for this, you can perhaps bring your friends over to be used to demonstrate techniques on?" she then looks to the bouncers "and you three will come too? So you can make sure the guys don't try to abuse us."

The three bouncers nod "of course!" they say as one. Kenny looks at Jenny and then back at Heather and nods "yeah as long as you want that too Jenny" he turns to look at her and she blushes and smiles and nods "as long as you will not be jealous or mad at me if I play with Talia and Heather and maybe a few of your friends if you are not ready for me to test the technique on."

I giggle "you can use these Kenny" I say and hand him a small box with pink pills "they restore you to full readiness, that way you can be ready for Jenny to try her techniques on."

Kenny takes the box and then smiles to Jenny "I will not be jealous, as long as you will remain my girlfriend, but I can use these if you want, if I need them at least." he laughs and kisses Jenny and they get lost in their kisses.

I kiss Talia and Heather "you girls have fun, I may be gone a day or two, or might be back tonight, depending on how things go, so don't worry about me." they hug me tight and then reluctantly let me go and Laurel and Quinn and I go to Idri and he opens one of the doors to their castle and leaves it there so I can use it to return whenever I want.

Quinn shows off the magnificent castle as Laurel and I follow him, showing all the various facilities that may be useful for training in various martial pursuits, the library of books on a huge number of subjects, and he also shows me around to the advisors he has available that will also tutor the children in all manner of subjects. For amusement I decide to not change from my savage outfit, mostly to see how a fey will be looked at, as I know we have many wild phases growing up, thankfully I see nobody who looks down upon me or sees me as someone bad, clearly Quinn and Laurel has picked their advisors with care, I do see and sense lust though, from males and females, and I probe them with questions both of their field and other ones, and what they think of nature and the fey, and nearly all of them do dare to tell me that although nature and the fey are amazing and beautiful things, they do not always cooperate with people, and there is some strife, often resulting in near famines when the fey get particularly upset over something, but they never tell them what, and I say that I will try to help with that. I am also shown a whole lot of artwork that is beautiful, but I feel irrelevant to me. However the initial impressions I get is that the castle is a safe place, and has just about anything kids might want, and a whole lot they don't care about.

Laurel takes over the tour and takes me to their private quarters and the nursery she had prepared for when she was pregnant, and also two play rooms with a lot of amazing toys, making my inner child feel envious of all the toys, I almost give into my desire to play with the toys, but I decide I can do that when my children are born, I don't tell Laurel or Quinn this, but after I saw the nursery and play rooms the decision to let them have two of my kids had been made in my heart. Laurel then takes me to the orphanage, and I had seen a few of those in the past, usually you have kids with empty dead eyes, and sadness, fear even, so what I saw when I got to Laurel's orphanage was quite jarring and surprising, in a very good way, kids playing with each other, laughter of kids, singing, a few kids reading books here and there, and painting and drawing, this looks more like a whole big playroom than the prisons that normal orphanages are, the kids even have their own little rooms with beds and their own things. I also see they have good food available whenever they feel like it, though my fairy blood is sad to not see any candy or cakes or such, but I know that is not good for humans to eat too often. As the kids spot Laurel they all run up to her and hug her and the ones that had made drawings and paintings show her them and I watch her get swept away and looking at what the kids want to show her, seeming to forget about me, a few kids approach me and look at me somewhat confused, I look somewhat like her, but my clothing and how I carry myself is very different.

"Are you mother Laurel's sister?" one of the young girls ask me and takes my hand.

I smile and gaze into her eyes "in a way I suppose" I say.

"Come let's play in the garden!" she says and pulls my hand and I look at Laurel and can see she is still completely surrounded by kids who want her attention and trying to make sure everyone gets their turn, so I decide to follow this girl to the garden for now and she shows me around the garden and it is truly a magnificent place, the young girl shows me many games the kids have devised to do in the garden, and we end up at a huge complicated but amazingly well made hop scotch with metal inlaid on polished granite, and instead of the regular single path there are three of them originating from the start and ending up at the finish, the middle one being the simplest and the other two being much more complicated, she explains the rules and it has some additions from the game as I played it as a young woman first visiting the human village near my home, of course that one was drawn with chalk on a somewhat smooth cobble stone street, the principle is the same though, it is a game of agility and speed and also fun, we play several rounds of it, and the girl easily has me beat despite me being more agile than her, she has more practice with the game though.

We are interrupted by the dinner bell "last one to the house is a toad!" the girl shouts and runs and giggles, I race after her, and pace myself so that we stay tied overtaking each other over and over again as we race back to the house, and then since I know I can win if I want to, but wanting the girl to feel happy I just barely let her win the race, she looks really happy and we both pant and hug each other and then she shows me to the dining room of the orphanage and we get seated, I am amazed at how good the food the kids are being served is. Of course no unnecessary noble foods and such, but good basic solid foods, slow cooked meat stew with a good variety of tasty vegetables, really delicious, and bread with butter to go with and there is also bowls of hard boiled de-shelled eggs and some kids add several of those to their stew and I decide to do the same, I see Laurel on the other side of the table listening to the kids tell stories and she does not try to force them to shut up and eat, and I end up doing the same, listening to the kids and asking questions to follow up on their stories to learn more, though I also focus on the food since I am starving.

After dinner the kids demand stories from me, and I decide to tell them about my home, the forest and the plants and creatures within, including the fey. I use illusion magic to show them what I am telling stories of and they much enjoy the stories and a lot of them want to visit the forest "I will talk with the people of the forests here and see if they will accept you as guests, but you can't go there without asking for permission, you see some fey fear humans, and do dumb things when scared, you know how you sometimes do dumb things when scared?" the kids all know exactly what I mean "so promise me to not go there until I tell you it is alright?" a chorus of voices of children erupts in "we promise mother Adria!" I keep telling them more stories and we also sing a few songs of the forest that I know, though translating them does take away some of the beauty to my ears at least, but hearing the songs sung by the children make me happy, finally Laurel and I tuck them into their beds and I am made to promise to come visit them again.

Laurel and I walk up to meet Quinn in their private quarters "I have had a room prepared for you Adria" Quinn says "the one across the hall from our room, just so you know you have your own room if you want that, you can stay with us though if you prefer."

I laugh "you two sit down" I say and point at the bed and they do "I am going to give you two children, I do however still expect from you to come with me to the fey tomorrow and give them the lands around the forests, and I will talk to them about helping people get better yields of crops, and I will see what they want in return, and we can negotiate all that, but also I am going to give you eggs rather than be pregnant for a long time, given how dangerous the thing I am going to go do shortly is, this means I am going to need extra food tonight and then you have to care for my eggs exactly like I tell you to."

Laurel starts crying tears of joy and giggles and cries "Adria, thank you so much, why am I crying?" she hugs Quinn tightly and he gets tears in his eyes too "we will do anything for you and your children."

I walk up to them gently caressing their hair and faces and look down into their eyes "I need meat, cheese and eggs and a mixture of fruits, each part of these need to be the size of my belly when I do this" I push my belly out as much as I can, it becomes about the size of if you crammed a large head into it "you go bring that here Quinn, as you as the man are supposed to supply to us women what we need for our children."
