System Break

I was dreaming that I was swimming. The water lapped over my moist lips. And my when consciousness slowly woke, I realised I wasn't swimming. I wasn't in a pool. My lips were wet, there was a body on top of mine. I could feel a soft breast pressed against my chest.

I woke and realised Reyas was kissing me. Her hand was on my stomach slowly caressing. I turned onto my side, she slid off me and my eyes opened.

"Hey," she said softly. "I want you."

After the battle and trip back, I was tired. I had drained my qi using the abilities that I had copied from her. I ate some dried fruit and went to sleep in our tent.

I reached behind me to check and felt Gisael. It was dark and I wasn't sure how far through the night it was.

Reyas touched my dragon and he leaped at the attention. There is one thing you can say about me and that's - I need little encouragement.

"Sure," I said. Afterall she was a smoking hot woman in her prime who wanted me, to fuck her brains out, and who was I to say no. I pulled her leg over my thigh and slid inside her. I figured she'd taken care of the foreplay already, so I was going straight to home base.

My dragon filled her, she was soft, wet, and tight. I lay there with my dragon inside her and didn't move. I just enjoyed the feeling of her soft, wet cave wrapped around me.

Her eyes sparkled and she tapped my shoulder. "Come on."

When a beautiful woman tells a man to come on when he's inside her its like she's lighting a fire. I grabbed her ass and began to thrust with abandon. She squealed and there was no way the perceptive Gisael would sleep through that.

I rammed her. "That what you want?" I was happy that she was unable to answer. Her mind was too busy dealing with the pleasure and her mouth had lost connection.

I climbed on top of her and buried the dragon in her cave, over and over. I lost track of time. She wanted it and she was getting it. That's my role as a man. I solve problems.

To ensure she was satisfied I put her ankles on my shoulders and sat up. My dragon punished her until she nutted three more times.

I did all the work, but she was exhausted.

She smiled shyly. "I should wake you up more often." She touched my dragon and asked, "Did you go?"

I shook my head.

A hand was on my shoulder and it pulled me down onto my back. Gisael did not say a word but she climbed on top of me. She wrapped the dragon up in her cave and squeezed.

She bared her teeth and strangled him with her muscles. I smiled and looked at her beautiful breasts. My dragon hardened inside her cave. Her eyes widened.

"Yes. Now you know the power of the dark one."

She looked at me quizzically and I just grinned. I grabbed her hips and began to thrust into her cave from below. Chirps of pleasure came out of her mouth and she bent down to kiss me. Instead she bit my lip as I thrust harder into her.

I loved the feel of her breasts against my chest and I went wild until the dragon breathed. She squealed as he filled her.

"Now he is gone," she said and barred her teeth at the shocked Reyas. She hopped off me and took the dragon in her mouth. Cleaning him and sucking him dry. All I could do was moan.

I lay there on my back without a thought in my head. I just grinned. Gisael was on my right and her arm stretched across my chest. Reyas was on my left and her leg lay across mine. There was a breast lightly touching each of my shoulders and the pair went back to sleep.

The sounds of the forest and their soft breaths lulled me to sleep also. I hoped they stayed like this because the dragon would wake early.

We slept until we were interrupted early in the morning.

Talila poked her head in and took in the sight. "We have a visitor from the mountainfolk," she said.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Both women had arms and legs all over me and they slid off as I rose.

Gisael rolled to her side and stared at Talila. "Where," she asked.

"They wait at the northern border. I came to fetch you."

I popped a few nuts into my mouth then grabbed my stag mask and put it on my head. I was still getting used to the freaky way it congealed and sunk roots into my skull.

"Wait," Reyas said as she jiggled into her leathers. I grabbed my spear and enjoyed watching her boobs bounce up and down.

"Ready?" I asked and crawled outside the tent.

Gisael was ready, one of the benefits of the naked life was quick transitions. I tilted my head, looked, and felt into the sky. Demon bird had not returned. He was lying in the remnants of the boar carcass sleeping off his feast of its innards.

Reyas stuck out her head. "Go, I will bring Ailen, Sakaala and the boar skin."

"They will see my mask and ask about you."

She gathered her gear. "Then take it off."

"No, I love it. I'll wear it everywhere."

She chuckled. "You just want to see the looks on their faces."

"That too."

"Then we go together," she said.

We gathered the twins, the skins and headed to the north east. Our pace was quick because Sakaala improved a little each day. Gisael, Talila and I carried the skins in large sacks on our backs.

"I will come with you this time," Gisael said.

"Really?" I was surprised she offered to leave the forest.

"It is my place by your side now. Talila will take over my duties."

"Wait who decided this and when?"

"We all did. We all agreed."

"We? I wasn't involved."

Her laughter sounded like a bird chirping. "We knew you would want me. We did not need to ask you."

"If we go somewhere, you, me, Reyas, Ailen and Sakaala. Doesn't that leave the forest lacking in defence. The last time I left we had an intruder, and more are a certainty."

"Yes," she said as we ran side by side. "You will need to be careful until the forest is stronger. The large core from the boar will give Mother, Elred and the forest a deep well to draw on."

"Draw what exactly?"

She laughed. "I do not know, but it is exciting to see the stories come to life."

Gisael's education seemed to be forest craft, combat, and stories. It appealed to me and I wished my childhood was like hers. Most of the Svartalfar would take up crafts and hers was a deadly combination of stealth, sharpshooter, and tracker. But she also had a grounding in forest craft and their lore.

"Will more of the people come?"

"It is possible. I do not know, we will see."

I felt the demon bird wake. I sensed he had grown. His wingspan was wider, he flapped his wings and took to the air. "Come." I said to him while he gained height. He swept the plains and showed me the ground.

There were more monsters than I'd imagined. Every few miles another herd of creatures roamed. Demon bird banked and headed north to catch me.

When we reached the border Skanvord, Glum and Flek sat at a campfire.

They stood and turned towards us as we arrived. They couldn't take their eyes off me and their hands hovered over their weapons.

"Don't be nervous," I said and waved my hand. "Why are you here?"

Skanvord took a tentative step forward. "We come to seek your aid. There is a cave troll in the mountains, a big one."

I looked at Gisael who shook her head. She didn't know anything about cave trolls.

"How big is big exactly?" I asked.

Skanvord pointed to a tree at the edge of the forest. "That tall and half as wide."

It was twice as big as our troll. "Shit," was the only word that came to mind.

Reyas stepped forward. "Is it a danger to anyone?"

Skanvord frowned. "Not yet. But no one can hunt or gather in the west. And who knows where it will move. My chieftain sought the shaman and the shaman sent us here."

I grinned but they could not see my smile because the wooden mask reached my chin. But they could hear the mirth in my voice. "Oh, now the shaman likes me. When you have a giant-sized regenerating behemoth on your doorstep, I am wanted."
