Chapter 7: Lizard Love
Just as the shades of the sky turned from dark blue to a pink with the rising of the sun, the appearances of the adventurers had changed with the new day. Lynthia kept herself covered with a thick hood and cloak, trying to keep her face and figure from view. At the moment, the former queen had the self-confidence of a whore and self-loathing of victim. Jatz wore a new white shirt and dark pants he had bought with his earnings from the previous night. Flinton wore a sleeveless green tunic and brown pants that smelled slightly a bit dirty. Teneila enveloped her body with a lavender cloak, similar to the one she had in Nibi town, while underneath she covered her breasts with a pale blue wrap and wore a pale blue loincloth. Karyn wore a short, black leather top and dark green pants, with her sword wrapped securely around her leg. Choosing to keep her dark blue cloak, Karyn led the party to the edge of town. It was from there they mounted their beasts of burden and departed, guided by Karyn and her medallion.
Conversation between the party was minimal. Karyn felt uncomfortable talking to Lynthia, with whom the feelings were mutual. Lynthia felt a similar reluctance to speak to Teneila, who wished to speak to Lynthia but could not ponder the right words to say to the girl. Although Lynthia longed to resolve her issues with Teneila, she held no such desire towards Flinton, whom she despised further after their drunken sex. Jatz was unaware of the complex web of relationships, and was confused when he found nobody chatting as they usually did. The thief deduced they were not in the mood to discuss anything.
The path out of town led to another forest, which stood below an enormous mountain range looming far ahead. Although the task of crossing through those mountains was seemed daunting at first glance, the party hoped that it was not something they would have to concern themselves with. The forest before them was the immediate destination.
As the group continued down the path and the trees suddenly grew thicker, Teneila exclaimed, "Look!" and pointed further ahead.
"What is that?" Karyn asked when she saw what Teneila was referring to.
In the middle of the road was a large mass. They cautiously advanced it to get a closer look, and soon realized it was a body wrapped in a brown robe. Karyn reached it first and unmounted. She used her foot to turn it over so that she could see the body's face and discovered it was not human. The skin was covered in dark green scales and the face was long and pointed, with a prominent snout. The creature's eyes blinked open before closing again. They were red with vertical black pupils. Heavy breathing came out of two large nostrils at the end of its snout.
"Back off!" Jatz warned in a frantic yelp.
"Why?" asked Karyn.
"It's a Lizaroid! They despise humans!" the thief explained frantically.
"You mean the tales are true?" Flinton asked.
"The ones about the first encounters where they were slaughtered for their skins? Yes, those tales." replied Jatz, the fear in his voice still evident.
"Why would anyone do such things?" asked Lynthia.
"Because," stuttered Flinton, "some people don't see Lizaroids as sentient beings."
"Well, this one is hurt." said Karyn after noticing slash wounds on the Lizaroid's arm and chest. "We should help it."
"Are you mad?!" Jatz exclaimed. "It would kill us the instant it regains enough strength."
"No... I wouldsss not..." the Lizaroid hissed.
Jatz jerked back with surprise and the entire party took a defensive stance toward the waking reptilian.
"I wouldsss...be gratesssful...for any helpsss..." the lizaroid hissed between deep breaths.
"Then it is settled." said Karyn as she opened her satchel to retrieve some bandages.
The Lizaroid sat on a rock and gently massaged his wounds through the thick layers of bandages that Karyn and Teneila had applied. The warrior's medical skills and Teneila's magic helped the Lizaroid make a quick recovery. Karyn and Teneila wiped their hands carefully, making sure not a trace of it's blood was on their hands. It was known that the creature's blood caused irritation with prolonged exposure to human skin. Most of the party was still quite wary of the Lizaroid, a feeling it could sense their general attitude towards him.
Karyn proved to be the one exception, and sat down near the Lizaroid in the hopes of speaking to him. "What happened to you?" she asked as she continued to wipe her hands with a rag.
The Lizaroid looked up at Karyn, scanning her for a moment before responding. "I wasss in an argumentsss with anothersss of my kindsss. She attacked me and leftsss me to diesss."
"What is your name?"
"I havesss no namesss in your languagesss." the Lizaroid man replied. An undulating hiss escaped his mouth before he spoke again. "Thatsss, was my namesss."
"Then, we can call you Slithe."
"Very wellsss." Slithe accepted. "And whosss are yousss?"
"I am Karyn. And these are my traveling companions." Karyn explained, waving her arm in the party's direction. She briefly introduced the rest of them to Slithe before continuing the personal conversation. "Tell me Slithe, have you ever seen anything resembling an altar, with a series of circles and a small hole in the centre?"
"Yesss. You speaksss of our sacred shrinesss to our godsss. He has a namesss that has no equivalentsss in your languagesss."
"Single God? There are multiple gods." Karyn contradicted.
"Nosss. Our beliefsss statesss we havesss one god, responsiblesss for lifesss, deathsss, and creationsss of material thingsss. Are yousss suggesting our beliefsss are incorrectsss?" Slithe asked, a hint of anger in his voice.
"Absolutely not. It is just that... oh pay it no attention." Karyn said to quickly end the conversation. "You said that you knew of such an altar in your village?"
"Yesss." Slithe nodded.
"Well, then I shall know what to look for when I arrive there. Thank you Slithe." Karyn said before she stood up.
"Nosss, you cannotsss go there nowsss." Slithe said, grabbing her wrist. "My speciesss still hatesss your kindsss. When they seesss a humansss wander into the villagesss, the warriorsss will eatsss you alivesss."
"Well, could you then do something for me at this altar? I would do it myself but it sounds like I cannot."
Slithe sighed before answering, "I expresss my gratitudesss to yousss for savingsss me. But I mustsss know, whysss did you savesss me despite hatredsss for your speciesss."
"It was the right thing to do." Karyn explained. "To help someone in needs as dire as your were."
"I seess." Slithe nodded. "I wouldsss help yousss but I cannotsss at this momentsss."
"Why not?" Karyn asked, her voice possessing a slight hint of disappointment.
"It is matingsss seasonsss for my speciesss." Slithe explained. "It is timesss when the peoplesss in my villagesss lovesss their matesss, or single femalesss."
"How does that prevent you from helping us?"
"I do notsss have a matesss." Slithe reluctantly admitted. "And I cannotsss find a femalesss."
"Do you wish us to find you a mate?"
"Nosss. The villagesss is too farsss away. I mustsss mate, release lustsss, or I will diesss." Slithe enunciated. "I havesss to keepsss looking, to findsss a matesss or diesss by end of this daysss. Thanksss you Karynsss, for your helpsss, but I go nowsss."
As Slithe stood up and began to walk away, Karyn pondered options. A choice came that made her shudder at the idea, but she knew it may be the only option if she wanted to access the Lizaroid beacon. She gestured to the party, "Hold here." Then she called out to Slithe, "Wait!"
Slithe turned and Karyn stepped up to him to whisper, "Let me speak to you in private."
Slithe nodded and the two stepped into the thick trees. Once inside, enfolded by the darkness and a small distance from the party, Karyn whispered again. "I will mate with you." she volunteered hesitantly.
"Yousss? A humansss? That disgustsss me!"
"It is that or you find a suitable sized bird. I need to activate that altar, and you can guide us safely through the village."
"Itsss will notsss be pleasantsss."
"I have found in sexual matters that it is not the act that brings the worse suffering, but the repercussions afterward. We will keep this secret."
Slithe looked puzzled. "Yousss are passionatesss about questsss." he observed. "Yousss would givesss your body to dosss such a thingsss?"
"My body is my body. If I can use it to advantage then I shall."
Slithe pondered Karyn's words. The lizard man hissed and said, "I acceptsss. My timesss is running shortsss."
The two emerged from the thick foliage and Karyn announced to her party, "Slithe and I will go to his village and activate the beacon. Do not follow us. He will take me alone and I can finish it quickly."
"How long will you be gone?" Teneila asked.
"The village is some distance and I will not return until tomorrow." Karyn said, stating the lie so that she and Slithe would have an excuse to be gone for a long time. "Do not follow us. The lizaroids are still hateful towards humans. Slithe agreed to lead me to the village and I can use my stealth to activate the beacon and escape before detection."
"Karyn, may I have a word with you?" Teneila requested.
Karyn nodded and stepped toward Teneila. The magician whispered softly into Karyn's ear, "Please do not go alone with this creature."
The warrior nodded and stepped away. "I shall be fine." Karyn insisted.
"I have reservations about Lizaroids..."
"I have made the decision." Karyn interrupted before she turned and walked away back to Slithe.
Teneila scoffed at the warrior's dismissal of magician's advice.
The path through the forest was ancient, and nature had gone to great efforts to reclaim the space that creatures had cleared. Thus, the walk was a series of climbing over thick tree roots and wading through grasses that were as high as Karyn's knee.
"I admitsss," said Slithe as he observed Karyn climb hand over hand on a large branch, "for membersss of hated speciesss, you appearsss beautifulsss and mustsss be greatly desiredsss."
Karyn chose not to answer Slithe's remark and continue walking. "I think we have gone far enough." Karyn said in an effort to deflect Slithe's comment.
She removed her cloak and began to unlace her leather top. Slithe nodded, then reached into a pouch under his cloak and pulled out a set of heavy shackles.
"Yousss wear thesesss." the Lizaroid said as he offered the shackles to Karyn. "Itsss a customsss for femalesss to wear thesesss, and I dosss not thinksss you wouldsss handle passionsss of lizaroidss mating sessionsss."
Karyn stared at the shackles, hesitant to accept them and a bit wary of Slithe's warning. Once she finished removing her clothes, she took the shackles and walked to a large downed tree laying on its side. She reclined her naked body atop the massive trunk while Slithe fastened the manacles to Karyn's wrists and looped the chains around the thick tree trunk. Matching shackles were fastened around her ankles, spreading her legs far apart.
Karyn tested the strength of the bonds by straining them, and after finding them unyielding, she nodded at Slithe. "You will release me after."
Slithe nodded in acknowledgment before fetching a rag from his cloak. He stuffed it into Karyn's mouth, explaining, "Itsss best wesss are quietsss as possiblesss."
Karyn nodded in agreement.
Slithe then took off his robe and closed his eyes. A few moments of silence followed, making Karyn wonder what was going on when suddenly Slithe squeeled. His green skin turned a shade of orange and a red, erect penis emerged from a slit at his crotch. The look in his eyes was wild lust.
Karyn braced herself as best she could but nothing could have prepared her when she watched Slithe mount the tree trunk and move between her legs. His scaly palms grabbed Karyn's bare hips and his red cock bobbed as he wiggled his hips to align his cock to her pussy. After nudging the pointy tip of his red cock between her labia, Slithe thrust forwardm ramming his stiff shaft completely within her on one stroke. Karyn wailed into the muffling rag, the Lizaroid shaft continued to expand within her, filling her pussy with hot reptilian cock.
The force of Slithe's thrusts were also inhuman, his animalistic frenzy was evident with the vigor he humped against Karyn. She balled her hands into fists, the chains tensing as the pain turned into pleasure and a lustful warmth grew in her belly. Karyn's whines turned to grunts as Slithe stopped expanding within her but continued frenzied thrusting.
She could feel her pussy was completely full and the taboo coupling of Human and Lizaroid filled her with wanton lust as she felt a climax approaching. Her clit throbbed with white-hot pleasure and her hips spasmed when she orgasmed with a loud, stifled scream escaping her lips. Karyn groaned as she felt her muscles contract around the Lizaroid cock and she burst with cream. Then she groaned louder as she felt Slithe throbbing inside her. The force with which his cum spewed, was beyond anything Karyn had ever experienced with a human. It brought incredible pleasure. She had no time to bask in the newfound ecstasy as Slithe continued to thrust into her ramming his stiff lubricated cock deeply as she imagined any human could. Karyn groaned, her body rocking and breasts jiggling with Slithe's rabid thrusts.
Slithe gripped the back of Karyn's thighs as he continued humping her pussy. The Lizaroid bent and raked his long tongue across breast. The texture was like sandpaper. Karyn closed her eyes as Slithe licked across her cheek, and then shivered as he licked her hard nipples. The versatility of his muscle was proven as he wrapped his long tongue around her left, sweaty breast. Karyn silently begged Slithe to stop. Now her pussy began to hurt and then she felt the Lizaroid's cock press against her cervix, eliciting a long groan from the naked warrior. Her muffled pleads went unanswered, as his animalistic lust continued. Karyn tried to detach herself from the pain, and focus on the other bursts, of intense sexual bliss. Karyn stopped begging Slithe to stop.
"I simply cannot believe Karyn would agree to help such a beast." Teneila muttered.
"Well, this one seems honorable enough." Jatz remarked.
"You should be one to talk about honor." said Teneila.
"Teneila," Jatz sighed, "you have an attitude I do not approve of."
"Your approval was not something I seek." Teneila replied. "Excuse me, but I will rejoin the party later."
"What? Where are you going?"
"I need to do some thinking Jatz. That is all I need divulge." Teneila said before she levitated and flew into the deep woods, disappearing into the thick foliage.
"What is taking Karyn so long?" asked Lynthia as she paced frantically around the camp.
"It has only been several hours." replied Jatz. "They did say the village was somewhat far away."
"I hope nothing has befallen her." Lynthia worried. "I should hope you feel the same way Flinton." she said with gritted teeth.
"Oh yes, absolutely." Flinton hastily replied.
Lynthia sighed in disgust and gave a dismissive arm gesture to the archer. "Excuse me gentlemen but I need to relieve myself." she said.
"Just go into the woods." Jatz said nonchalantly, pointing vaguely towards the deep forest.
Lynthia walked past Jatz to step up to Flinton. "I hope you enjoyed your view of my privates. For that was the last time you will ever ever see them again." she snapped in a whisper before wandering deep into the thick forest.
"What did she say to you?" asked Jatz.
"That she needs to go very badly." Flinton replied abruptly.
Lynthia pulled up her pants as she prepared to return to the camp. She briefly surveyed the forest around her, noticing the enormous trees that flanked her on all sides. The forest atmosphere was quite different than that of the Nightwood forest, she noted. The sky was visible above her head, and that ominous feeling of constant dread was not present here. Birds sang, crickets chirped, the wind rustled the leaves, sounds of a perfectly normal forest.
Among the thick green of the leaves however, stood out a sliver of lavender. Lynthia squinted and stared at the patch of unusual color, which was when she recognized it as a cloak draped around a woman.
"Teneila?!" the former queen called out. The shape turned and faced Lynthia, revealing herself to be Teneila. Teneila however, merely gasped and leaped with inhuman speed to the next tree.
"No, wait Teneila!" Lynthia insisted as she ran after her. "Let me speak to you!"
Teneila dismissed Lynthia's pleas and continued to run, leaping from tree to tree with the agility of a cat. It was due to this inhuman speed that Lynthia stared too intently at the streak of purple above, and not at the ground below. A thick tree root caught her toe and send the blonde woman to the ground. Lynthia grunted as she hit the dirt and dried leaves. She picked herself up, dusted her clothes with her hands but could not see Teneila.
Lynthia called out, "TENEILA!!" repeatedly, but only the echoes replied. Lynthia swore under her breath and was about to walk away when she heard a faint noise in the distance.
"I shall be in the bush for a few moments." Jatz announced suddenly before walking into the bush. Flinton merely nodded in acknowledgment, not even looking up from the arrows he was fixing.
Jatz pulled down his pants and squatted, whistling quietly and nervously, his eyes darting around him. The woods were very dark, and the air possessed a wet chill. The thick smell of plants and dirt hung on the air like a blanket, and the constant sounds of rustling combined to make the forest a terrifying place for Jatz to be left with his pants down.
One of the noises stood out in Jatz's ear like a loud echo. The thief recognized it as a hiss, but not of any snake, of a Lizaroid. He slowly turned in the direction he thought he heard the sound coming from, hoping he was wrong. Glowing eyes staring back at him from the shadows, proved he was unfortunately right.
An orange-hued Lizaroid jumped at him, its fangs bared and glinting with drool. Jatz yelped and rolled out of the way, watching as the Lizaroid crashed into a large tree. The thief got to his feet in a panic, frantically trying to pull up his pants while running as fast as he could. He heard the Lizaroid chasing and ran into the clearing where the campsite was.
"HELP!! HELP!!!" Jatz cried out.
"Jatz!" Flinton exclaimed as he averted his eyes away from the thief. Jatz looked down and saw his pants had fallen to his knees again.
"Jatz, please put that away." Flinton insisted, still looking away from him. The loud snarl of a Lizaroid suddenly entered the campsite. Flinton looked and saw it standing at the edge of the clearing, examining the two men. It suddenly dove at Jatz, the nearer of the two.
The thief fell to the ground, covering himself with his arms in the best defensive position he could muster in a split second. A split second was all it took, for Flinton to arm his bow and launch an arrow at the rushing Lizaroid. The arrow pierced through the creature's right shoulder with enough force to push it backward. The arrow lodged into a large tree, pinning the Lizaroid to it. It's screams echoed through the forest, piercing the men's eardrums and sending frightened flocks of birds into the air from their perches atop a nearby tree.
Lynthia walked quietly through the woods, trying to find Teneila in the treetops. Her mind raced with the possible scenarios that would transpire when she and Teneila met again. She wondered how the magician would react to her, and how she would react to the magician. Feelings of love mingled with feelings of shame towards her, conflicting inside Lynthia's head and making her even more disoriented. Her confused state of mind made the endless twisting branches and thick foliage seem like an endless labyrinth, and Lynthia was worried for a moment she would not be able to find her way back to camp.
Suddenly the noises Lynthia heard previously had returned. This time they were closer, and clearer. Lynthia heard feminine moaning and what sounded like hissing. She could see through gaps in the thick growth of trees before her that there was a slight clearing ahead, and she could make out what looked like two moving figures. Curiosity and the erotic sounds of moaning got the better of Lynthia, so she hid behind a tree and peered into the clearing to see Slithe humping Karyn's vagina, with Karyn laid atop a felled tree and bound in chains against the trunk.
"Karyn?! Oh gods!!" Lynthia gasped in horror.
Slithe turned to the voice and saw Lynthia in the bush. He licked his lips with a long reptilian tongue and slid his erect red cock from Karyn before diving at Lynthia. Lynthia attempted to run, but Slithe grabbed her calf causing her to fall to the ground. Lynthia screamed and rolled over to her back as Slithe quickly moved to hover over her. The Lizaroid ripped at the her clothes until she was fully exposed. He gripped her wrists and held then to the ground at her sides as he wedged his scaly hips between her thighs.
His red cock glistened wetly and he steered the pointy tip between her labia folds and sheathed his inhuman cock into Lynthia with one thrust. Lynthia wailed, and sobbed as Slithe began humping at her pussy like an animal. His cock expanded within her and Lynthia experienced a pleasurable orgasm flush from her belly to her breasts. Slithe climaxed with a loud hiss. His cock burst with hot cum, seeping from their union and coating her inner thighs. She sobbed and moaned as she felt his cock flex and continue to pump his load into her. Flashbacks of her horrible ordeal at Nibi town flooding her mind. Even after his climax dulled, Slithe continued thrusting. Lynthia moaned weakly and her breasts jiggled with each thrust.
"Lynthia...no..." Karyn spit out the drool-soaked rag. Her breasts heaved with desperate panting. Her former lover's screams echoed through her mind like a banshee's wail, bringing the naked warrior to tears.
"What in the god's name is that?" Jatz asked sheepishly, his forehead coated with beads of sweat.
"A female Lizaroid. And she is in desperate heat." observed Flinton as the lizard woman thrashed wildly against the tree, the creature's cries stinging his ears.
"You don't say." remarked Jatz with sarcasm as he dug through his bags to find a replacement pair of trousers.
"We can not just leave her there. If she does not mate, she will die."
"Well, if you want to volunteer!" snapped Jatz as he pulled up the second leg of his new pants.
"No!" exclaimed Flinton. "We need another way."
"Hmm..." both men murmured, their observant eyes turned to Jatz's Run Lizard.
"Now." whispered Jatz.
Flinton pulled out the arrow holding the Lizaroid woman to the tree. The beast snarled in pain, followed by a hiss of relief when it became dislodged. She frantically scanned the area, her libido still rampant, when her eyes became locked on the enormous, four legged reptilian beast.
The beast sensed her intent. Flinton and Jatz released the Lizaroid and she dove at the Run Lizard. A low growl of slight confusion escaped it's maw.
"I apologizesss deeply" Slithe looked saddened, his skin had returned to its original green color. "I wasss not in controlsss of my actionsss."
Lynthia sat, looking away from Slithe as her arms hugged herself gently as she tried to ignore the throbbing that radiated from her crotch. Her clothes were torn, and small bloodstains were visible from the scratches Slithe had scored on her skin. With teary eyes, Lynthia turned to Slithe and spat, "I hate you Lizaroid!"
"Yousss no reasonsss to feelsss otherwise." Slithe admitted. "I cannotsss expresss my remorsesss."
"Karyn!" Lynthia growled at the warrior, who leaned naked against the tree, her wrists and ankles still red from the shackles. "I have been violated yet again without my consent! I was a virgin before I joined you on this accursed quest!"
"Lynthia. I apologize. I truly do." Karyn said slowly, her body still spent from Slithe's ravages. "However, I hate to bring such matters up, but I did warn you? I warned you there would be dangers. And you refused to listen to me."
"How can you be so cold to me Karyn?! This is a side that I never have seen in you!" Lynthia screamed.
Karyn looked down shamefully, her breasts glistened with sweat. "I will deal with you in a moment Lynthia." she finally said and turned her attention to Slithe. "Take this amulet Slithe." instructed Karyn. "You will sense vibrations when you point it in the right direction. Follow it until you find an altar, it should look like a stone circle. In the center, there will be a hole the amulet fits into. Fit it correctly and turn it. The beacon will shine briefly."
"Yousss can countsss on messs." said Slithe. "Isss return shortlysss." The Lizaroid dashed into the woods, disappearing into the thick green foliage.
Karyn then returned her attentions to Lynthia. "Lynthia...I..." she started.
"You what?! Now I have Lizaroid seed in my womb! May the gods help me if I become pregnant!!" Lynthia interrupted loudly.
"You will not. Lizaroid and humans cannot interbreed." Karyn explained, trying her best to soothe Lynthia.
"Karyn, I...I just do not understand you. I do not know how you can simply brush aside these matters of the flesh. But I do understand one thing. I've been raped multiple times. And I say no more! DO YOU HEAR ME GODS?!! NO MORE!!! The next time anyone gazes upon my naked body is when I make love to someone I truly care for!" Lynthia yelled in defiance of recent events. After nothing but her own feminine echo replied to her, the former queen turned to Karyn and venomously said, "I wish I had not met you Karyn."
"Lynthia...please..." Karyn said, trying to comfort Lynthia.
"Away from me you whore." Lynthia spat, knocking away Karyn's hands.
Lynthia turned around and gently wiped the tears from her eyes, trying hard to keep Karyn from seeing it. Karyn however, did not notice, for she was too busy wiping a tear from her own eye.
"Good gods!" exclaimed Jatz as he covered his ears. "Are they still doing it?"
Flinton, also covering his ears, reluctantly peered over the edge of the bush they were hiding behind, and then immediately ducked back down, a grimace of disgust marking his face.
"Yes." he shuddered. "Who would have thought such acts could produce such loud noises?!"
Slithe walked through the village with the amulet held firmly in his palm, hidden beneath his robe. Although the streets were populated, everyone knew at least one third of their people were in huts mating with their partners. Slithe walked casually towards the quieter section of the town, where the altar stood. He took a few quick glances around to make sure no one was watching. Then he retrieved the amulet from inside his robe and placed it in the indentation in the middle of the altar, and turned it.
The light that burst from the concentric circles startled the Lizaroid, causing him to jump back and gaze at the brilliant illumination with awe. The Lizaroids standing in the village streets looked towards the heavens as the brilliant light became brighter, their sensitive eyes beginning to hurt from the light's intensity.
Karyn gasped and fell to her knees as a strange, powerful sensation washed over her. She closed her eyes and clutched herself, the sensations covering her naked flesh like multiple pairs of roving hands. Karyn fell to her side and writhed against the ground, her moans becoming more sensual as they increased in volume.
"Karyn? What is wrong?" Lynthia asked as she watched Karyn thrash against the ground.
Karyn continued to pant harshly, the strong sensations overwhelming her, drowning out Lynthia's words of concern. Without warning the warrior orgasmed, her back arching and her hips thrusting skyward. Her cum spurted out of her pussy, and the juices trickled down her ass and thighs. Karyn finally relaxed, and eased herself onto the ground, her panting settling down to a steady, if not intense, breathing pattern.
"Karyn?" Lynthia asked, the concern in her voice mingled with a sense of fear.
"I am alright." Karyn replied.
"What happened?" Lynthia asked.
"Slithe activated the altar." Karyn explained. "The sensations, they have been growing more and more intense since my quest began. Now, it appears I no longer have to be at the beacon to experience it."
"But, do you have any idea what these sensations are?"
"Only that they are pleasurable." Karyn grinned, the recent climax still fresh in her mind.
"Slithe, yousss have defiledsss our sacredsss altar." the Lizaroid Chief scolded.
Slithe did not look up from the ground as he knelt before the chief and dozens of fellow lizaroids. "I am sorrysss." he finally said. "Itss was my honorsss that I kept this promisesss."
"What honorsss in defilingsss our sacredsss altar?!" another Lizaroid snapped.
"I havesss no answersss to thatsss." Slithe admitted. "I begsss your forgivenesss, and acceptsss punishment you seesss fit."
"Yousss realize the penaltysss for defilingsss our altar isss death." a wrinkled Lizaroid said.
"Isss am awaresss." Slithe replied, a hint of fear in his voice.
Several of the Lizaroids talked for a moment, their hisses unintelligible to Slithe, who merely stared vacantly at the ground in shame. Finally, he heard the Lizaroids address him again, instructing him to stand as they dictated Slithe's punishment.
"Slithe, yousss are banishedsss from thisss village, immediatelysss. If yousss are seen againsss, yousss will besss killed."
Slithe's eyes widened with surprise as he heard their verdict. "Why dosss you sparesss my lifesss?"
"Slithe, for all yousss servicesss as soldier, and honorablesss acceptance of punishmentsss, it wouldsss be a badsss to ridsss the worldsss of onesss such as yousss. Now gosss."
Slithe bowed in acknowledgment and thanks before running out of the village, leaving the village of Lizaroids behind.
Karyn finished putting on her clothes while Lynthia did her best to cover herself, but to her dismay the tattered rags she wore did nothing. Her pants were covered in holes and her shirt was a few flimsy scraps of fabric. She knew she could not be seen like this. Her breasts and mound were fully exposed, reminders of her captive experience. Lynthia was almost ready to weep once more when the rustling of the bushes revealed that Slithe had returned.
"Karynsss. Lynthiasss. I wishsss to gosss with yousss." the Lizaroid said, extending the medallion to Karyn.
"No, Slithe." Karyn replied as she accepted her medallion. "You have done your task and I thank you for it."
"Pleasesss. Theresss is nothingsss left for messs at mysss village, and I wantsss to make rightsss my wrongdoingsss. Lynthiasss, I bringsss you giftsss." Slithe retrieved a parcel from his robe and handed it to Lynthia.
Lynthia took it warily and untied the thin piece of leather that held the package together. A set of soft clothing was inside.
"Madesss of softsss mammal hidesss." Slithe explained. "I apologizesss, I knowsss not yoursss size wasss rushed."
"Oh, thank you." Lynthia said, her tone a mixture of sincere appreciation and hesitance. She dropped her tattered rags and wore the new clothes. They consisted of brown pants and a long sleeved shirt that fell just below her breasts, revealing her navel.
"How does it look?" Lynthia asked.
"To messs, yousss look humansss." Slithe admitted. "Next to othersss humansss you seemsss pleasurable."
"I think you look beautiful. As you always do." said Karyn.
A slight rose hue flushed Lynthia's cheeks for a moment. "Thank you." she said reluctantly.
"I havesss other thingsss for yousss." said Slithe, reaching into his robes once again. He pulled out a sheathed blade and gave it to Lynthia. "To mysss people, womansss warrior carries bladesss such as thisss. Appropriatesss for yousss to on thisss quest."
"Thank you Slithe." said Lynthia, admiring the fine craftsmanship of the handle. Smooth grips were carved into it, making the blade feel secure and comfortable within Lynthia's delicate fingers. The unique, curved shape of the blade made its beautiful and deadly in appearance at the same time. She hooked it in a loop on her belt and began walking towards the camp with Karyn and Slithe.
With a great deal of caution and their weapons drawn, Jatz and Flinton slowly peeked over the top of the bush they hid behind. The sounds had ceased, and both men could have sworn they heard the Lizard woman leave, but both were too nervous to check.
Luckily, their suspicions proved correct, and she was gone.
"Well, that will teach her to tangle with us." Jatz boasted mockingly.
The tree was enormous, its trunk was as wide as a small room and its branches extended skyward in a tangled mass. Teneila sat on one of the highest branches in a cross-legged position, her hands resting on her knees and her eyes closed. Her body reacted very little to the cool breeze and the discomfort she felt from sitting on the tree's rough bark. Her mind was wandering freely, away from the constraints her body regularly placed on it.
In the world that her mind ventured, she appeared as a glowing, naked ghost, floating freely through the air in a place unlike anything the physical world could ever reproduce. All her senses were bombarded with incredible sensations that blew her mind with their complexity or brought her peace from their simplicity. To Teneila, it was here that one could always find answers to everything, even questions of the heart.
"Lynthia. How foolish I have been." she thought to herself. "Even though you should not have attempted to make love to me without consent, I did not wish to harm you like I did. And yet I could not face you, not until I ponder what to say."
Suddenly a dark shadow appeared from one of the corners of Teneila's vision. It had no tangible shape, but appeared to be a large mass with several tendrils extending from a centralized mass. The magician gasped at the sight, and almost screamed when she saw the tendrils rush suddenly at her.
Teneila flew away, trying to return to her point of entry on the strange plane she occupied. The tendrils proved too quick however and one of them was able to wrap around her ankle. Its touch was cold and unyielding, sending a large chill up the magician's spine. Teneila launch a magic spell at the shadow out of reflex, not putting any thought into its strength. A purple ball of sparkling energy flew towards the central mass, but passed harmlessly through it. The tendril around Teneila's ankle began to drag her closer to the large mass, while other tendrils grabbed her other ankle and both her wrists.
The nude magician struggled within her bonds, trying to ignore the increasing sensation of cold that rippled through her body. Her nipples became hard as the cold spread over her ethereal body. She felt a sudden jerk from the tendrils and suddenly her arms were pinned behind her back and her luscious legs were spread apart, revealing her pussy to the shadow mass. Teneila screamed, in the vain hope that somebody would hear her, but her mouth was instantly covered with another tendril, silencing her. Another tendril came over her eyes and she could feel others wrap around her breasts and thighs.
Blinded and gagged, she could not see the large, bulbous tendril coming out of the central mass and moving between her legs. She only felt the tip as it spread her labia and then the tendril slid into her with one thrust. Teneila bit down on the tendril in her mouth, her screams coming out as coarse moans as the tendril pumped repeatedly into her pussy. With a series of pushes and pulls from the tendrils around her wrists, waist and ankles, her body was thrust against the probing tentacle in unison with its humping motions. Teneila groaned with pain and a warm growing feeling of pleasure as she was pushed and pulled against the long, dark shaft like a puppet. The small tendrils around her breasts teased her, the combination of their deft touch and cold feel made Teneila's nipples hard and erect. Her screams of resistance turned into groans of intensifying pleasure, a bliss so intense it caused Teneila to close her eyes and lower her defenses. Teneila's hands clenched within her bonds and her head tossed back as the pleasure waves intensified. The tendrils around her breasts had stopped teasing her nipples and wrapped around her breasts, squeezing. Tendrils caressed her neck and arms, while the bulbous shaft in her pussy grew and plunged deeper within her.
The muffled groans that escaped Teneila's throat turned into an erotic crescendo of screams, growing louder and coarser as her vaginal muscles tightened around the invading probe like a vice. The long shaft had slipped hrough her cervix and coiled inside her womb, its thrusting motions only drove it deeper into her. Teneila groaned as she felt her inner walls being caressed by the wriggling tendril in her cunt, small feelers had erupted from the surface of the large tendril to caress and explore her interior. She cried out desperately with increasing passion. The pleasure was now mind-blowing. The magician's back arched suddenly and she wailed as she shuddered in orgasm, her pussy seeped with etheric honey. Teneila continued to moan around the tendril in her mouth, her mind facing the full force of the climax; without the sensation of flesh as in the real world. The experience was more intense, more pleasurable, she suddenly snapped back to her body in reality.
Teneila bolted to alertness with a gasp, almost falling out of the tree. Her lips shivered as cold sweat beaded on her skin, and a sense of strange, erotic gratification swept over her body. Teneila gasped, her brain still foggy with bliss and her nipples painfully stiff. "What...who...who was that?" Teneila finally asked to herself. She reached down to touch her crotch and her clothes were wet with a large dark patch of feminine juices.
Karna walked into the large suite and closed the door behind her. In the centre of the room was Xarthul, sitting cross legged and wearing nothing but black trousers. His eyes were closed and sweat gleamed off his skin. Karna walked up to him with a smile on her face, sitting behind him and stroking his back while purring sensually.
"She fell, just as I expected." Xarthul boasted.
"What happened to you two?" Lynthia asked as she noticed the somber expressions on the faces of Flinton and Jatz
"Oh, nothing." replied Jatz. "Lynthia, where did you get those clothes?" the thief asked as he noticed Lynthia's new wardrobe.
"Oh, Slithe gave them to me." Lynthia explained hastily, somewhat surprised at Jatz's inquiry and not wishing to provide details as to what happened to her old clothes.
"Isss gifted hersss something moresss presentable for the questsss." Slithe interrupted, blurting out his explanation with evident haste.
"Is he joining us?" Flinton said with confusion.
"Yes, Slithe will be joining the quest." explained Karyn.
The Lizaroid bowed once his presence was explained. "It isss tradition for Lizaroidsss to accompany thosesss who savesss their livesss."
"Where is Teneila?" Lynthia asked Jatz.
"She went off to meditate. She said she had some repentance to face, or something along that line." the thief answered.
Lynthia paused as she interpreted the explanation, and pondered at what Teneila was doing in the trees.
"I have returned." Teneila's voice suddenly announced. The party turned and saw Teneila descending towards them. "What...what is that thing doing here?!" Teneila pointed at Slithe.
"Slithe will be joining us." Karyn said as she sat down, trying to hide the pain that radiated from her crotch. "He has expressed his desire to join us out of thanks for saving his life. Is there an objection Teneila?"
"It is just that I recalled that it will be mating season for Lizaroids very soon." Teneila said. "That is why I am worried about seeing a Lizaroid at this time."
Lynthia and Karyn shared a brief glance before Karyn explained, "Slithe said it has already passed."
Teneila shrugged her shoulders in acknowledgement before looking momentarily at Lynthia. "I like your new clothes." she complimented warily.
"Thank you." Lynthia replied awkwardly.
The two women exchanged a thousand words as they gazed at each other, scanning and reviewing what words could express the mixture of emotions they had towards each other, and trying to predict one another's reactions to possible statements. But it was all for naught, the courage for the act was not in either of them, and they simply turned away without saying another word. Another time. they both thought.
Flinton turned to Jatz and said in a tone of voice just higher than a whisper, "By the way Jatz, you scream like a woman."
"Shut up." Jatz replied as he mounted his Run Lizard. The beast suddenly bucked beneath the thief, almost knocking him off.
"Jatz, your Run Lizard seems energetic all of a sudden." Karyn noticed.
