Chapter 19

I awoke to find myself in a familiar marble room and wondered what had pulled me here. I immediately got into a defensive stance, waiting to see what threat was about to reveal themselves.

“Why are you so agitated?” came a voice from the darkness around the edges of the area. “I thought you would be happy to see me after such a long time.”

I glanced over to where the voice came from and watched as the Oracle that had assisted me when I first arrived emerged from the darkness.

“I apologize, but I am sure you’re aware of the shit I have been dealing with lately,” I replied, trying not to sound too upset.

She gave a slight nod, “Yes, I am aware Pathios, and you have done well to handle what has come so far. I am here tonight due to the conversation that you had earlier today.”

“I was mad earlier, that is true, but I am not now,” I replied. “The others made me realize my self-sacrificing mentality was causing me to overthink things.”

“Still, I know that having people inferring with your life without your consent can be upsetting,” She said, drawing closer. “So, I wanted to apologize for my part in things.”

I shrugged, “You were doing what you thought was right, due to the things you have seen.”

“That is true,” she replied with a smile. “There is much I have seen, but I must say I am still surprised by what you have accomplished so far. Especially, what you have accomplished with a certain goddess. That I didn’t see coming, but I am not surprised, since we aren’t made aware of everything. There is just something about you that draws people.”

She drew closer and I could see that her nipples had become prominent underneath the thin material that was covering her body. I could also smell a change in the air that signified the arousal of a woman. I looked at her and she only smiled wider.

“You can’t be surprised at this point, Pathios,” she stated as she ran her fingers along my chest. “While I am now hidden for my protection, I still see much when it comes to you. One of those things I see is the utter bliss and raw animalistic pleasure you provide your partners. Who wouldn’t want to be in their place? Who wouldn’t look at the man they see voraciously pleasuring women, and not imagine doing the same when confronted by that man?”

I was taken aback by her words and didn’t know how I should respond to that. It didn’t help that her fingers felt really good.

“Don’t worry young Pathios, I won’t be doing anything,” she told me, calming my nerves a bit. “Now isn’t the time for this, but know that sometime in the future, I will approach you to take what I offer.”

She pulled me into a soul searing kiss that was filled with so much heat and passion that I saw stars. What is with these women in my life and their ability to fry my brain with a kiss.

“Now it is time to go and return to the others, but keep an eye out,” She said as she stepped away from me. “There are still threats out there that will cross your path soon.”

I nodded, “I will do so, but you make sure to take care of yourself too. I don’t want to find out something happened to you.”

She smiled, gave me a wink, and blew me a kiss, before things started to darken as I fell back asleep.

I awoke the next morning well rested. My loves were cuddled into their respective arms and Katie was nowhere to be seen. She was no doubt working on her potions, and I couldn’t help but smile. She had begun to create a very efficient process with the new stations she had purchased and set up. She had tripled her output and soon she would have more than she actually needed. Once it got to that point, she planned to sell the extra’s to her friend. Mind you that was her output when she was coming out to adventure with us. If she stayed in all day, as the plan was for the next week or so, then she would have more than enough to sell. I basked in the sensation of two beautiful, naked women cuddled into me for a while longer before I got out of bed. Soon we would have to get and have our morning meal and I planned to explain the plan for the next week.

After another half hour, I woke my darlings, and we begrudgingly left the bed to join the others in the main living area. There was a bustle of activity as everyone worked to get breakfast ready. I decided to forgo the shower for now, since we would be able to take our time after breakfast. Fifteen minutes later, we were all sitting down, enjoying the bounty of food that was made.

“We are going to be taking a week off to relax a bit,” I announced, causing murmurs of confusion from the group. “I know we just started going back at it, but I want to focus on some ideas I have. We may need these for our coming threats. Cassandra will be paired with Theresa to help their levels rise more, though I would hope that Dilbar and Ilthvana will assist if they want.”

“I am actually going to pop over to that mine today you set up,” Dilbar replied, surprising me. “I know some of the people in that crew and though it is a bit redundant, I haven’t been in a mine for a while now.”

“I will work with Theresa and Cassandra,” Ilthvana said between bites of food. “I will make sure that they stay safe. With the threats that are out there right now, small groups are not advised.”

I smiled, “I appreciate that. Just make sure that you all are being careful out there. I am sure they will do great with your help. Perhaps she can get two more partners to round out her arsenal of creatures.”

Theresa smiled widely, “I hope so too. I do know that I don’t want any of the insects that are on the fifth floor!”

“Before you head in, I want you to meet us at the Quartermaster,” I mentioned, causing her to have a confused look. “We have fought enough that you should have an idea of what kind of armor you prefer to wear, and we can get some specialized armor made for you.”

Her eyes widened in surprise, “Specialized armor, like what you and the other wear?”

I nodded, “Yes, I am sure you have seen that the armor that my ladies wear is unique. I want to make sure that you have the best protection, while giving you the flexibility and agility to stay safe.”

“Oh, that is a special gift indeed!” Dilbar exclaimed. “I wouldn’t hesitate to take that gift when it is given. Their armor is not only eye-catching, but they are super effective as well.”

I glanced over to my dwarven friend, “Don’t worry, I have been thinking of gear for you and Ilthvana. I just didn’t want to make any presumptions about what you prefer to wear for your armor.”

“Well if that is the case, then presume away,” he replied, glancing at our feline friend. “We would both be happy with whatever you came up with!”

“What the fuck!” Cassandra exclaimed, drawing our attention. “Am I chopped liver? You didn’t think of me for any special armor?”

I gave her an innocent smile, “Well you make your own gear, and while I have given possible armor for you a lot of thought, you are a redhead. The last thing I want to do is ignite your fiery temper!”

We all laughed at that and then went over what they should try to do when they get in the dungeon today. Katie was going to spend most of that time working on potions, unless her services were needed. Enti and Amenthia would be with me. With our plans figured out, we cleaned up breakfast and began to go about our day. I looked forward to the shower we were about to have, because the rest of today was going to be busy. We excused ourselves from the rest of the group and made our way to the bathroom. Katie planned to join us for the shower then work on her potions for the rest of the day. We took our time, washing and exploring each other’s bodies.

They decided after the scrubbing was complete that my cock wasn’t clean enough and that it needed a tongue bath. Thankfully, there was a bent in the showers, as I doubt, I would have been able to stand while the three of them took their time sucking and licking every inch of my cock and balls. Katie surprised me by rimming me, while Enti sucked on my balls, alternating between the two and Amenthia showed off why she was the deep throat queen of the trio.

They happily and hungrily drained me three times until each of them got a belly full and only then did they deem my cock clean. I decided that I would do the same and bent all three over on the bench. I then proceeded to eat, finger, and suck their pussies until their bodies were almost vibrating from the state of arousal, I had left them in. I edged them again and again, until they couldn’t stand it anymore. Amenthia got two fingers shoved up her ass, Katie had her clit slapped and Enti’s clit and g-spot were her weak points. I took pride in overstimulating them and then making them cum hard. We gave a quick wash again and then got dressed for our day.

“So where to first Pathios?” Amenthia asked with a slightly shaky voice. “I figured you have a few you want to visit today.”

I nodded, “First we need to visit Brot’k, then we will head to the tower to visit Gordwin to talk about some ideas I have.”

That piqued Katie’s interest, “Is it another upgrade to the hand crossbow? I really love using them.”

“I need to get another one made for Theresa, “I replied, “so she doesn’t keep borrowing your other one. I am also thinking of something like a heavy crossbow for Cassandra so that she can have a ranged weapon, not to mention Dilbar said he wanted an upgraded heavy crossbow.”

“Cool, what kind of weapon are you thinking of?” Enti asked as she finished getting her boots on.

“Katie won’t recognize what this is, but you two would,” I replied, causing their curiosity to grow. “I am not sure of the technology systems of this world, but I suspect we could create something along the lines of a long rifle.”

Amenthia and Entivala’s eyes widened in surprise, but they didn’t seem as excited as I figured they would.

“Are you sure about doing that Pathios?” Amenthia asked. “That is a very dangerous piece of technology that could have serious ramifications if he makes more than the one and begins to sell them to other adventurers.”

I grunted in frustration, “You’re right, of course. I just wanted to give you all the best advantages to ensure you stay safe.”

“There isn’t anything else that you could think of that would work?” Entivala asked, giving me a soft smile.

I thought for a few moments and said, “Well we know he can make clips for the handguns. Let’s see if he can create something like a drum clip. If he can, then we could upgrade Dilbar’s Heavy crossbow to have a much larger ammo count. Maybe he could also create a faster firing system which would help. Then if it works, we can get one made for Cassie.”

“See, all is not lost,” Amenthia stated, with a false superiority in her voice. “Let’s get going and run our errands. I personally would like to spend a lot more time in our room and continue what we started in the shower.”

Not one to argue with a smart woman, we finished getting the things we needed and left to head to Quartermaster’s.

We entered the Quartermaster to find Brot’k and Fra’tilia busy at work, with two pact members browsing the shelves for new equipment. Glancing around I was pleased to see that most of it was new gear that was being made by them, along with some items supplied by the smithing houses. We walked over to the counter and tapped the bell, bringing their focus to us. Just as Brot’k moved to welcome us, the door opened and Theresa entered the room, rushing over to us.
