Chapter 24

Sheena clicked her highbeams on as she drove her car down the road. There were no other cars on the road at this hour, as most people on the reserve were indoors. She and Jason were just leaving the reserve, having dropped Bert back off home. Though he was reluctant to leave, he eventually did, once he learned that he’d be welcomed back whenever he wished to show up.

“The way Bert was going on about everything he’d learned, I’m surprised that he agreed to leave,” Jason remarked.

“Well, there was the whole bit about his wife chewing his ass out if he was home too late. He also remembered that he’s human and needs sleep, just like the rest of us,” Sheena replied, smirking at Jason.

“Let’s not forget the ever popular reason guys stop doing what they do. We need food,” Jason said, answering Sheena’s look of confusion.

“That’s true! My mom always told me that the fastest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” Sheena agreed with a chuckle.

“Never any truer words spoken! Though Bert was buzzing about how alive he felt. Kept yammering about how he’d hadn’t had this much energy in years,” Jason said as he stared out the window at the darkening city.

The both of them chuckled at the elderly historian’s exuberance, but he could hardly be blamed for it. Because of how the government had treated his people, most of their history and the ways they had practiced were all but erased. All because of the systematic destruction of their culture and assimilation into white culture.

Jason shook his head when he thought about it, on how everything that Bert’s people were, was lost to history. Or it was until both he and Sheena arrived. Now, with them there, it was possible for the histories and cultures of the tribe to be salvaged, maybe even saved. For that, Jason allowed himself a small smile as Sheena drove them back to the house.

“Hello? Earth to Jason? You there?” Sheena asked, getting his attention.

“Sorry. Was off in la la land. What’s up?” he asked.

“Did you want a coffee and a donut?” she wondered as she pulled up to the drive through speaker at a Tim Hortons.

“Oh! Yes, please! I’ll have a large coffee, two cream, three sugars and a Boston Cream donut!” he told her.

Sheena smirked and put in his order, while adding her own, a large peppermint tea with two sugars and no cream, and chocolate dip donut. They pulled on through, pulling up to the window where Sheena paid for the order and the server handed it to them. She pulled away, after handing Jason the food and drink, which he set up so she could get to it easily.

“Do you think that Felicitae ... Amy, got the materials she needed for the spell?” Jason wondered.

“Let’s hope so, or this is going to be one quick fight against that bitch!” Sheena mumbled over her tea.

Jason couldn’t help but agree with his lady and he hoped that Luke, Emalia and Felicitae/Amy had found what they needed. If they had any hope of combatting the Dark Nymph, they would need all the protection they could get. He was confident that Luke would have found everything, as he was OCD like that. Give him a task or a quest, and he’d latch onto it until it was done. He hoped that was the case again, this time.

“So, that’s where the Guardians came from?” Phalmina queried, still in shock over this revelation.

“Yup! I’m surprised that the princess of the Fairies didn’t know about this,” Felicitae/Amy replied.

“I may have been the princess, but I wasn’t made aware of everything. There were some things that my mother didn’t tell me about,” the fairy admitted, while looking over the male Nymphs.

Phalmina and Daelina were in absolute shock upon being told that the Guardians who kept the grove safe were, in fact, male Nymphs encased in magical armor. It had been a total shock to be sure, but also, one that made sense. It wasn’t too long after the war broke out, that the Nymph population dropped substantially. She had chalked it up to the Xkarites going after the Nymphs first, but that wasn’t the case.

Seeing how they had vanished so quickly and the Guardians coming to their aid should have been spotted right away. Only Phalmina wasn’t thinking about that. The only thing she was concerned with at the time was the survival of her race. She didn’t stop to think that there might be others who were thinking about theirs as well. Both she and the others there glanced over at the men who were there with them and smirked.

Both of them were happily munching away at some food that had been brought for them. While they were in no danger of dying or withering away from lack of food or water, they were still hungry. They were just finishing another round of takeout food when Jason and Sheena walked in the door.

“Hey guys, glad to see that you’re back! Did you get the...” Jason started, before his gaze turned to the pair of men that sat on the floor nearby.

“Whoa! Are those ... male Nymphs?” Sheena questioned.

“Yup! They are!” Emalia stated, still in a state of disbelief herself.

“How is this possible? I thought they had all died off!” Jason stated, bringing up what he’d learned from the Sons of Caesar archives.

“This little piece of history, is something the Sons didn’t know about,” Felicitae/Amy responded.

She then filled the couple in on what the Guardians were and how they were constructed. Most importantly, how they needed a living being to bring them to life. Jason and Sheena were beside themselves with what they’d been told. They both concluded that there was still a lot to learn outside of the books they had taken. The couple stared at the Nymphs, noting how different each one of them looked.

“I’m guessing that these two aren’t like you, are they, Felicitae?” Jason asked, taking in the appearance of the men.

“They are not forest Nymphs, that’s for sure,” Felicitae agreed. “I’ve seen their like before, but I cannot remember what they are.”

“I might be able to help with that,” Luke interjected.

“Remember how we found something? In one of the books?” Sheena asked.

“Exactly. I remember the book detailing four subclasses of Nymphs in existence,” Luke stated.

“Four? I was only aware of three,” Felicitae answered.

“Well, there are four. At least according to what I remember. We already know that you are a Meliae, an ash tree Nymph. Going by what these two look like, I’m guessing that the other one is a Meliae like you, or maybe even a Naiad. A freshwater Nymph,” Luke explained to his confused friends.

“Are you like me? A Meliae?” Felicitae/Amy questioned the lighter skinned Nymph. The man shook his head and made a gesture, like he was swimming.

“I think that means he’s a Naiad,” Luke remarked, and the Nymph pointed at Luke, nodding.

“I guess that answers that. What about that guy?” Darren asked, gesturing at the red skinned Nymph.

“It would be safe to assume that he’s an Oread, a mountain Nymph,” Luke surmised, and the Nymph nodded with a smile.

“But, if these guys are not guarding the mountain grove, then who’s keeping it safe?” Jason wondered.

“I wouldn’t fuss, love. Emalia and Felicitae/Amy here sealed it against all intrusions. The only way up into the grove now is via the portal stone, which only we know how to use,” Phalmina stated.

“Oh! Well, that was the smart thing to do. At least until we can find a better way to defend it from any outside incursions,” Jason replied, breathing a sigh of relief. “Whoa, what is this?”

“It’s the golem that Xaera made. I brought it here,” Luke stated.

“Why?”

“Little dude seemed like he was all alone, and I thought he might want to hang around with some living beings,” Luke explained, and the golem jumped around and nodded at Luke’s feet.

“It is sentient? How is that possible?” Xaera asked.

“You’re the one who made it, Xaera. Did you make it to be that way?” Sheena questioned.

“No! At least, I don’t think so!” the troll woman replied.

“Maybe another read through the Artificier’s tome might help clarify things, yeah?” Jason suggested.

“A good plan, but can we get back on track about why we are here, please?” Phalmina interjected.

“Yes! You were saying that you got everything you needed for the spell, Felicitae?” Sheena asked.

“We do. Had to persuade one of Luke’s friends to get the most important piece, but we’ve got it,” Felicitae/Amy replied, holding up the withered arm.

“What is that from?” Daelina wondered.

“The corpse of a man who was killed by the wraith. Quite recently, in fact. The Dark energies that are concentrated inside of it will prove sufficient for the spell,” the human/Nymph stated.

“Dark energies? Just what do you plan on doing with these energies?” Darren questioned, skeptical of what the Nymph had planned.

“The spell, when it is active, will act much like a magical vaccine, giving a moderate level of protection to all involved in it,” she explained.

“So, we won’t need these runestones, then?” Karla asked.

“You will still need them, but this protection will make it much more difficult for Dark magic to affect you. Combined with the runestones, it will require a more concentrated effort to harm you. You can even take a few hits before you have to worry about getting hurt,” Felicitae/Amy finished.

“I don’t know about you guys, but I like the idea of extra protection like that,” Jason stated, gesturing to his chest.

“That doesn’t mean that you’re allowed to do something stupid like that again,” Sheena admonished him, smacking him on the chest.

“Yes, ma’am!”

“All right, everyone. Gather around, as everyone will need to participate in the spell, magic or no,” Felicitae/Amy responded.

“What do you want us to do?” Luke questioned.

“Just stand where I tell you to stand and don’t move until the spell is complete,” the human/Nymph stated.

With that, Felicitae/Amy directed everyone to stand together in a circle, with the most powerful Gaians in the center. Once everyone was in their places, the human/Nymph took the objects she and her friends had collected and placed them in the center. Once they were perfectly positioned, Felicitae/Amy stepped back and took her place in the circle.

“Now we can begin. I will start with the most basic threads of magic. Follow my lead as we cast,” she told them all.

Nodding, the group did as she did, bringing their magic forward as the human/Nymph drew upon Gaia’s power. She intertwined what they brought out with her own magic, weaving it deftly. Once she had the weave correct, Felicitae/Amy directed it to the items in the middle, lifting them into the air. Focusing the energies, the items came together, slowly melting together, until it was one large greenish glob.

Everyone there who could wield magic, gave every ounce they could to her, to help fuel the spell. A chant rose from her lips, as Felicitae/Amy called upon the runes to bring the spell to life. As she did this, the composite mix glowed, starting low, before it was as bright as a lightbulb. There was a dark tint to it, which was what remained of the dark energies from the human arm.

The spell continued to rise in pitch and power, building to a crescendo before the chant halted. Ever so slowly, the glob separated, dividing into equal pieces, so there was enough for everyone. The globs hovered towards them before they splattered onto everyone. The shock of the substance hitting them caused everyone to gasp, but it soon vanished, their bodies absorbing it.

“It is done. The spell is complete,” Felicitae/Amy replied.

“Ugh!! I don’t feel so good...” Luke groaned, his stomach doing flipflops.

“Such feelings are normal when taking this spell. Give it time, it will pass,” Felicitae/Amy assured them.

“I felt ... something off, but I feel fine,” Jason stated, looking at his friend in concern.

“The magical power you wield mitigates the worst of the side effects. I wouldn’t be surprised if you could do multiple such spells and walk away intact,” the human/Nymph replied.

“We can do that spell more than once?” Sheena wondered, questions abuzz in her mind.

“Yes, we can. In so doing, it would build up our tolerance to Dark magic almost to the point of immunity. The only catch is, finding items of considerable power that are steeped in Dark magic,” Felicitae/Amy replied.

“Such items would be rare, wouldn’t they?” Luke groused.

“They would be, yes. Which is both good and bad, I suppose,” Felicitae/Amy responded.

“Indeed! Looks like it’s getting late,” Jason observed, his eyes taking in the evening sky. “We should probably get going.”

“Yup! The only question is, what to do about these two?” Phalmina wondered. “I mean, now that they’re free of their armor, where will they stay?”

“Not sure we could take them. There isn’t much room at my home, with the lot of us staying there most nights,” Eva commented.

“My place is out. Sure, it’s a loft, but even with Sheena and Mina there, it is a little snug,” Jason remarked.

“Why don’t they stay here tonight? There’s plenty of room, and it’s well protected,” Xaera suggested.

“Now that’s a stellar idea! What do you two think?” Amy asked, Felicitae taking a back seat in her mind. The two Nymphs looked at each other and nodded, thinking it was a good plan. They were especially receptive since they knew the house and its grounds were warded against intruders.

“Though I do think we should make this place a little more accommodating,” Sheena said.

Just as some Gaians started to ask her what she was talking about, the ebon skinned woman wove her hands in a complex pattern, igniting a spell. She continued to weave her hands in a deft pattern, before she shot the spell at the floor. The spell acted immediately, taking hold in the wood frame as it got to work. Small vines poked through the floor before they grew in size, eventually taking shape.

“Are those ... beds??” Luke asked, staring at the growing wood as it finished molding to its shape.

“Yup! Hopefully, they’ll do nicely to help these three sleep better,” Sheena smiled as she gestured to Xaera and the Nymphs.

“They most certainly will! Thank you!” Xaera gushed, running up to hug the Shaman. Sheena giggled and hugged her back, but the pair were soon mobbed by the male Nymphs. They expressed their gratitude in a similar way, hugging the woman who gave them something proper to sleep on. The group came apart after a few minutes, all smiles, before the rest of them got ready to leave.

“So, back in the morning?” Xaera asked.

“You know it!” Phalmina grinned as she waited for her human lovers to get their shoes on.

“Hey, Jason?”

“Yeah, Xaera? What’s up?” the man replied.

“Do you think you could drop a tree or two into the soil here? Like you did for the mountain grove?” Xaera asked. “It’s not that I don’t appreciate the food you guys bring, but I really could go for some fruit and vegetables.”

“Hmm. That’s an idea! Did you have anything specific that you wanted planted here?” Jason asked.

Xaera gave him a quick list of several fruits and a few vegetables, a list which was met with enthusiastic nods from the Naiad and Oread. Though they were omnivorous, they favored fruit and vegetables more and were eager to get some. Jotting down the list on his phone, Jason promised to grab the fruit and vegetables she wanted. Once that was done, the group made their farewells and walked out of the house.

“Well boys, I don’t know about you, but I could do with some sleep,” Xaera replied, stretching her limbs.

If she had kept her eyes open, Xaera would have seen the lust filled looks on the men’s faces. Though it had been centuries for these two, they knew that to go for a woman uninvited, was always a bad idea. Since it was just the three of them there, they knew that once the troll woman was asleep, they could do something to alleviate the pressure in their balls.

The Naiad glanced over at the Oread and cocked his eyebrow in question. The Oread shook his head, telling the man silently that he didn’t swing that way. The Naiad shrugged, knowing that it would have to be just him working it that night. The trio all climbed into a different bed, the men letting Xaera have the largest one there. It was not only good manners, but she was much bigger than they were and needed the space.

Though there was danger that lurked outside of the grounds of the house, they all knew that while inside, they were safe. The men passed out quickly, the pair of them exhausted from all the excitement they had that day. Xaera wasn’t far behind them, joining them in dreamland as she closed her eyes and let sleep claim her.

Xaera blinked her eyes slightly and came awake slowly. Her senses were signaling her mind to wake up, but she didn’t know why. Her danger sense wasn’t going off, so anything that could threaten her or her guests was out. She couldn’t see anything that was off, not immediately at least, so she sat up quietly and listened. It was then that she heard something, like something was grunting.

She immediately thought it was the golem that Luke had left behind, but she didn’t see it anywhere nearby. Figuring that it must still be making its rounds on the property, she glanced about and sniffed the air. The moment she breathed in, she knew exactly what was going on. Xaera could almost taste the scent of male arousal on the air, and she smirked to herself.

One of the Nymphs was likely playing with himself, and it didn’t take Xaera long to figure out who it was. She could see the shape of the Naiad on his bed, beneath the covers, shifting quickly. Biting her lower lip, Xaera thought just how much torture the man must be in, having been trapped inside that armor for centuries. She knew that if it had been her, she likely would have jumped the first male she came across!

A wicked idea entered her mind then, and she carefully crawled out of her bed. Avoiding any creaky floorboards, she padded over to where the Naiad slept. She stayed low, so as not to attract attention, and sidled up to the bed. Xaera could feel the constant shifting of the bed, which might have been imperceptible to others, but not her.

Her troll senses were so finely tuned, she could have heard a pin drop and told you where it was. The Naiad’s scent on the air was heady and fresh, like fresh water from a spring, and Xaera licked her lips in anticipation. Mustering her nerve, she stood up slowly and pulled the blanket off the Naiad, revealing his naked body to her.

The Naiad’s face was one of shock and alarm, but she smiled at the man and put a finger to her lips, shushing him. He calmed then and looked up at the woman quizzically, as she glanced down to his hard cock, and almost gasped. The Naiad was much bigger than she expected, easily ten inches long! His thickness wasn’t anything to sneeze at either, looking close to two inches in girth!

Xaera blinked a few times, before pinching herself to be sure this wasn’t a dream. Feeling the sharp pain on her pinched flesh, she knew she wasn’t dreaming and licked her lips. Scooting down to where the Naiad was manhandling his cock, she peeled his hand away, before taking it in her hands.

The Naiad stared at her, enraptured that this woman wanted to do this! He wasn’t going to complain, as it had been centuries since he’d had a woman touch him like this. Moaning at the sensation of this, he leaned back and sighed, enjoying her hands stroking his length. He then felt something warm and wet on his dick and looked down to find Xaera taking his cock into her mouth.

His heart hammering in his chest, the Naiad groaned quietly, loving what she was doing to him. He could have taken the initiative earlier and made his intent known to the troll woman, but he kept it to himself. At least, until he could communicate better to her, once he found his voice. He also didn’t want her to misconstrue his intent and think he was being a complete pervert.

Though, with what she was doing to his cockhead with her tongue, the Naiad was fairly certain that she was just as perverted as he was. The pure suction that she had on his dick made the man think he would explode. He almost did, but Xaera seemed to sense this and backed off, drawing out his release. Groaning in frustration, he stared down at the woman and she popped her mouth off his cock, grinning at him.

“Don’t be so fussy. You’ll get to cum, but I want you to feel the inside of my pussy first, before you do. You wouldn’t deny a woman that, would you?” she asked, pouting cutely. The Naiad vigorously shook his head, wanting nothing more than to feel this woman atop of him.

“Good boy!” she grinned. “Now, I know you don’t have your voice, but can you still use...”

Xaera’s voice trailed away as she felt a pair of hands on her ass. Her head whipped back, and she saw the Oread behind her. His hands were kneading her cheeks, and she moaned in delight at the feeling. She felt his strong fingers dig into her muscled ass and shivered as the Oread continued his ministrations.

“Ooooooohhhh! Someone’s looking for some nookie, aren’t they?” Xaera cooed. The Oread nodded, grinning at the troll woman. He hoped he would get to use his rapidly hardening tool soon, which was no less impressive than the Naiad’s.

“You want to use that thing? Bury it inside me?” Xaera teased, and he nodded, smiling hopefully.

“Your friend gets me first, but don’t you worry. I have plenty of starch in me to have you both all night,” she grinned. The Oread smiled, slightly miffed that he’d have to wait, but beyond happy that he’d get his turn with the gorgeous troll woman.

“Make me ready for your friend and when I’m done with him, it’s your turn,” Xaera told him.

The Oread got on his knees, all too happy to comply, and pasted his mouth to her steaming nethers. Xaera groaned in appreciation for the oral thrashing she was getting and got back to giving the Naiad his. Taking his cock back in her mouth, Xaera took her time, making it a sloppy and wet blowjob. She continued on, making sure that he was harder than steel, before she got on top of the man.

She settled on top of him, guiding his turgid member into her slippery cleft. The moment he popped in, Xaera cried out in bliss, relishing the feel of the Naiad’s dick inside of her. Xaera shivered as it stretched her insides, making her feel like a woman again. She sat there for a moment before she started moving her hips up and down. She went high enough to where the Naiad’s cockhead was still inside her, before sliding back down.

Xaera did this repeatedly, lifting her hips up before going back down, completing the movement before doing it again. She kept going, while beckoning the Oread over and the moment he was in front of her, she inhaled his cock. The Oread moaned in delight as he was sucked off, as he needed this badly. He then started pumping his hips to move in time with the troll woman.

More than happy to be a fuck toy for the moment, Xaera gobbled up the dick, bringing it to full hardness. She pulled her mouth off it and nearly gaped at the size of it, as the Oread was easily as big as his Naiad friend. Taking his dick in her mouth once more, Xaera continued to suck, making his tool hard enough to crack rocks.

The Oread was getting close to completion, but needed more than just the troll woman’s mouth. He glanced down at his friend and caught his eye before gesturing at him. The Naiad barely caught what he meant, but he understood well enough and nodded. It was only fair that since there was only one woman there, that they share her. The Naiad then sat up, startling Xaera as he stopped her movement, before scooping her in his arms.

“Whoa! Not that I mind being manhandled, but just what are you up to?” Xaera questioned. The Naiad just grinned and gently deposited Xaera on her bed, before stepping away. She would have protested, but the Oread walked forward in his place, eager to enjoy Xaera as his friend had.

“Oh! I see what you have in mind! I have a better suggestion for you boys,” Xaera grinned.

At that moment, she turned over on all fours, presenting her ass to the Oread, and wiggled it a little. Needing no further prompting, he moved forward and gently pressed his cock into her. Xaera shivered in delight at this, happy to have a big dick filling her up. She then looked up to the Naiad and crooked finger, telling him to come to her. He ambled forward, and she stared up at him, smiling as she did.

“I want you to fuck my mouth. Don’t hold back,” she told him.

Grinning like an idiot, the Naiad did just that, shoving his cock into her mouth and down her throat. Xaera shuddered at this, eager to be stuffed like this and finally having enough men to fulfill this fantasy of hers. Since she’d seen it in some adult films she found while staying with Jason, there was much she was intrigued about. Especially when it concerned sex and all things related to it.

She’d seen this performed several times and often wondered what it was like to experience it. Now that she knew, she understood why some women loved such ideas and made it a point to experience this plenty and often. Both men continued to fuck her, her nethers and insides vibrating with delight. She could barely contain herself as they reamed out both holes, intent on making her squirm.

Xaera could feel them pushing into her hard, needing this release badly, and she invited it. She undulated with them, pushing them to unload everything they had into her, and they didn’t disappoint. Sucking on the Naiad’s dick like a vacuum cleaner, she heard his feral growl before he came. He pushed his cock down her throat hard, before throwing his head back in a wordless groan.

His essence fired out of him, filling her mouth and making her cheeks bulge slightly. Xaera worked the throat muscles and swallowed it all, draining every drop from the man. She could also feel the Oread inside her, his cock expanding as he unloaded his balls into her waiting quim. Xaera shivered as she felt the tremblings of a minigasm rifle through her, giving her a pleasing sensation.

Though she could sense the men were spent, she was not. All they had done was stoke her fires for something more and being Nymphs, she hoped they had the starch to give her what she wanted. Sliding off the Oread’s cock, she let him fall to the bed next to his friend and she smiled at them both. They looked up at her and smiled back as they felt her hands stroking their spent cocks, reinvigorating them.

“You two have fun with that?” Xaera questioned sultrily as she jacked them off. They both nodded enthusiastically before she continued.

“Good! Now it’s time for you two to help me have some fun. You both got me going and now, I want to finish what you two started,” she told them, leaning down to kiss each of their dicks, reviving their limp members.

“You two are going to penetrate both of my holes. Neither of you are going to stop until you make me scream like I’m being murdered,” she told them devilishly. The looks on their faces went from confusion to excitement. Moments later, they were back up, hard and ready to ravage her as they had before.

“You, on the bottom, inside my pussy,” Xaera told the Naiad, as she mounted his dick. The Oread grinned as he looked at Xaera and scooted behind her, eager to push into her rear entrance.

“Take it slow. I may be part troll, but that doesn’t mean I don’t feel pain. Take it easy until I tell you get going, OK?” the troll woman asked him.

The Oread nodded, and he pressed up against the dark blue star of her anus, before he pushed. His tool was still slick with her juices from before, so there was little resistance as his cockhead popped into her ass. Xaera cried out in shock, and she moaned in bliss as she got used to the size of him back there. Jason had been just as thick, stretching the woman out considerably, so the thickness wasn’t too much trouble.

Xaera sighed and moaned as the Oread continued to push into her. He was slow, per her direction, and soon enough, she could feel his balls resting against her ass. She breathed out gently and took a moment to get used to the whole thing being seated inside her. She had her eyes closed the entire time and slowly opened them, almost disbelieving what she was seeing, but smiling all the same.

“Ok, boys. Start moving, but go slow. If I tell you to go faster and harder, do it. I want to feel this by the time I wake up in the morning,” she told them.

Since meeting Jason and the other Gaians, Xaera had a lot of catching up on how much the world had changed. One thing that astounded her was the amount of time that was spent on sex and all things related to it. Not that she minded, of course, as it gave voice to the many fantasies that flew around in her head. Xaera knew that there was a lot of lost time to make up for, and she was eager to keep going.

The men inside her moved in tandem with one another, alternating in bottoming out in her holes. They were moving at a moderate pace now, sliding in and out of her as they continued to fuck her. Xaera breathed a little heavier, as her heart continued to pick up the pace and beat just a little faster. Her chest rose and fell in sync with her heart, her lungs doing what they could to feed it fresh oxygen.
