Twenty-two years of magical imprisonment in his own puzzle by a spurned goddess to ponder his fate and hope against hope that, perhaps, one fighter may bypass Tremon the Berserker, his faithful friend and ally, who guarded him so well. The Jaegreot closed his cat-green eyes to the screaming next door which told him the newest warrior had not beaten Tremon. He felt a mixture of grief at the fighter's death and joy at the opportunity to keep on living, albeit confined to the center of his maze. Tremon entered the chamber, looking very much a Berserker - wiping his bloodied blade clean against his trews, his eyes reddened with the battle haze and crimson hair sticking up in wild knots above his head. He was not winded from the encounter and bared twin rows of jagged, pointy teeth in a semblance of a grin. "It was a good fight, my friend," the Berserker growled, pacing a circuit around the torch-lit chamber. "But he held back the fatal blow." "Which, of course, you did not, eh, Tremon?" The Jaegreot understood his ally all too well, having been the one to train him. Tremon started to speak but a beefy hand slicing through the air cut him off. "No, Tremon, do not apologize. I ken your situation, my friend much to my dismay; the vows that clash within you are the same as my own. One to protect me from harm - with your life, if necessary - and the other to be free of this wretched place." The loyal warrior sheathed his broadsword with practiced ease, saying, "Dinna be so hard on yourself. How were you to know Yaffa was more than just a lovely lass who wanted to mount you?" The Jaegreot sighed and brushed his ebon locks back off his chiseled face. "I should have, Tremon. I just should have. Am I not blessed with an ability to see beyond mortal eyes?" His eyes glittered with shame and anger. He jolted from his throne, rushed across the chamber to the nearest wall and tore the richly woven hanging away from the masoned stone. His callused hands ripped at the material, shredding Yaffa's taunting, nude image and scattering the pieces across the rush-covered floor. Moments later, the fabric reformed magically, once again displaying the goddess' slim, naked portrait upon the wall. Her golden eyes mocked him knowingly and her pert breasts teased at his loins, making him hang heavy. "You made the better choice, Jaeg." "Did I?" he asked, whirling around to face his friend. "A chance at freedom is worth any price," Tremon muttered, his shaggy head tipping up sharply, akin to a hound scenting game. A brief glow of magic surrounded the pair for a few seconds and dispersed quickly. "How...?" said Tremon softly to his friend. The Jaegreot shook his head, whispering, "I know not. Only fighters of great worth are allowed within my puzzle. A mage would have not the capabilities to enter, let alone get this deep without help. A minion or the goddess herself, me thinks, brother." The Berserker grinned ferally as he withdrew his blade and quit the chamber, ready for another battle to defend his liege. Jaeg seated himself on his throne and waited for either Tremon to return to him, gloating over another victory, or the stranger to enter this chamber and send the Jaegreot into oblivion. The Room ======== Kirsten wiggled around in the plastic chair, anxious and nervous over being here. A door, -the- door, opened and Stanley exited with his head bowed in defeat. He glanced at Kirsten, pushing his wire-framed glasses up his nose and said in a cracking voice, "Good luck. You'll need it." "Wait," she cried and grabbed onto his shirtsleeve. "Can you tell what it's about? Anything?" He opened his mouth, then snapped it closed and shook his head. "I'm sorry, Stan. Gregor Baltiste went out with a bang, I'm sure." "Yeah," he replied gently, a single teardrop falling from his eye. "Don't feel bad, 'kay? Gregor did plenty of wenching across the vast lands of Baldohr and left quite a few bastards in his wake." He managed a ghostly smile and wiped at his pimpled face, knowing Kirsten sympathized with his plight. Her female, dwarven warrior had double digits behind her name before Mahdenk the Necromancer refused to grant a seventeenth resurrection. Stanley's mother would tell him it was only a game but it wasn't, not to him nor to his role-playing friends. Time and effort went into creating a character - a part of you - and to have that character die was utter heartbreak, especially for Stanley. He patted her hand and told her, "Go on. He's waiting for you." She got to her feet and hugged the boy hard before she went through the door. The room was well lit with a cafeteria-style table dead center, covered with maps, player tokens and dice. A man sat at one end and gestured a hand out to an adjacent chair, motioning Kirsten to sit. "I am Controller of the Maze, Dante Plantangeant of the Fighters Guild and I await your choice." Her knees shook until she locked them straight. To be offered a chance to enter the Maze was incredible and unbelievable to Kirsten, the highest honor in all of Baldohr. Then his words impacted her. The Controller was giving her the choice of whom she wished to play and, as she sat down in the padded seat, she made it. "Nadia, elfin ranger of the Deru clan, holder of The Rapier D'Sheark'nmaur, user of Kerowyn's Bow." "The idiot?!" Dante asked angrily. "You wish to play the Maze with a moron? Are you mad, girl?" She crossed her blue eyes slightly, a trickle of drool sliding out from one corner of her mouth. He clamped his fingers around the table's edge and ground out, "So be it. Nadia, enter the Maze, find the center and receive your reward but be aware for many evil monstrosities dwell within." He moved her pewter token to the entrance, a boon to her lack of wisdom that she accepted gratefully and the game began. For hours Kirsten played her role, killing orcs and trolls with either her Rapier or Bow, collecting treasures and setting off various traps. Kirsten wanted very badly to disarm the trap blocking her path but Nadia, the simpleton, would never do that. Nadia had the lowest wisdom of any character in the game - even lower than Ridien the village idiot who boasted a mere 5. She peeked over at the Controller as she moved her token onto the space occupied by the trap and prepared Nadia for whatever Dante ruled. A roll of one dodecahedron resulted in a quirk of fate that relieved both of them as Dante spoke. "You have triggered a trap door which sends you falling thirty feet to stone flooring." He handed her a tetrahedron die. "Roll for what injuries you have received from the fall, Nadia." She took the die into her cupped hand, shook the appendage gently and spilled the molded piece onto the table. Two. Not too bad. A sprained ankle, bruised ribs, cuts and abrasions according to the player's guide and all healable with Nadia's magical powers. She cast out a detection spell to see what monsters were nearby, surprised and startled to find only a pair of humanoids. They stood on the other side of the wall she rested against, then separated as one walked away. These two were the only humanoids she'd encountered in the Maze and Nadia/Kirsten wondered who they were. Adventurers, perhaps? Guardians? She spelled a reliable wound cure for her cuts and they healed, leaving her ribs and ankle tender. The Maze ======== Notching an arrow against her bowstring and holding her Rapier ready at waist level, Nadia walked along the corridor cautiously. Sometimes she ran into other people while adventuring and was kind to them, giving aid when she could. More often than not, those she helped stabbed her in the back to keep her from reaching the goal before them. Even so, Nadia firmly believed that all Baldohrians were good and it saddened her when they oft died from playing fighter with her. 'Oh well,' she thought. 'Not everyone can be elfin like me.' Her thickly soled leather boots carried her to a corner and she saw a shadow play across the floor, her instincts telling her this wasn't a human. A smile crossed her gamin features as she decided the shadow belonged to an elfin and Nadia turned the corner, coming face-to-face with a crimson-haired warrior. "You are not elfin!" she cried unhappily, frowning. "No, I am not," the warrior replied. He was forced to gaze up at Nadia as she towered over his seven-foot frame with room to spare. "I am known as Tremon," he growled out politely. "And you are?" "Nadia," she answered, hanging her Bow over her shoulder and embracing him. She slapped the flat of her blade forcefully against his muscled back and giggled like a child, despite her greater size. "I've heard of you, Berserker. You are the only one to best the Jaegreot in combat." She let go and quickly fell to a seated position at his booted feet, waiting. "Tell me, Tremon. Tell me how you beat the greatest Berserker in all of Baldohr!" He fumbled for something to appease Nadia, besides the truth. This hardened fighter could see how naive the elfin was and didn't have the heart to tell her he trounced Jaeg by thrusting a half-naked serving wench between them. His friend paused to gaze at the delightful cleavage before his eyes during a critical moment and Tremon clubbed him with a sneaky blow to the crotch. "I caught Jaeg unawares when he stopped to help a damsel in distress," Tremon informed his listener, glossing over the truth without really lying. Her pink tongue stuck out a bit between her lips, confirming she had a child-like mind and he huffed into his mustache. Should she attack, he would not strike her down. "Nadia, would you like to meet the Jaegreot?" "HE'S HERE!?" she squealed and shot to her feet. "Where!? Where is the Jaegreot?!" Nadia shoved Tremon aside, knocking on his arse when she rushed passed him down the corridor. Reaching out, he snaked a brawny arm around her slender ankle and caused her to trip over him. She landed hard on a shoulder and cried out in pain, tears streaming down high cheekbones. Immediately contrite, he cradled her lean, lanky body across his lap and did what he always did to soothe a woman's tears. He kissed her soundly, crushing her soft mouth with his firmer one and felt her go stiff against him. Nadia pulled away suddenly and gaped at him, touching her bruised lips with fingertips. "You kissed me." "Forgive, Nadia, for I only wished to halt your tears," Tremon murmured, a blush as red as his hair staining his cheeks. She giggled, "Your face is the color of your hair, Tremon." Her light eyes widened in wonderment. "Why is that?" Instead of answering, he scooped her up and set her onto her feet, then clasped her slender fingers and led her down the corridor toward the Jaegreot. His friend would know how to deal with Nadia other than assault her with plundering kisses. That would be the last thing Jaeg did, as he preferred more voluptuous women with flesh that a man could sink his teeth into...among other things. The Jaegreot listlessly stared at the closed door, wondering if Tremon found the magic user. Waiting was not his strongest virtue but it was all he was able to do for he could not leave this chamber. Yaffa, the wicked bitch, had magicked the door against him, and though he tried over the past score of years, he couldn't leave. He smacked a fist painfully on the arm of his chair, losing patience with Tremon and the geas that held him confined in this maze. A murmur of voices reached his ears as they talked behind the door. One was Tremon's baritone but the second Jaeg didn't recognize. Someone pushed the door ajar with a creak of the hinges and a blonde-haired, blue-eyed giant peered inside. "Are-are you the J-Jaegreot?" the giant asked in a mousy tone. Jaeg crooked a finger and beckoned the creature to come inside. "You must be a mighty warrior to defeat Tremon. I wish to know what they call you, giant." "Nadia and I'm not a giant. I'm an elfin ranger," Nadia replied proudly, poking a thumb at her sternum. He gazed where the digit hit or more precisely, he gazed -above- at the small expanse of white flesh squeezed tightly in a fitted vest. It wasn't much but it told him she was a female and a meagerly endowed one at that. As he raked his eyes over her lithe form, he noticed the only fat upon it was the pair of breasts squashed together under her laced vestment. Kirsten used the high intelligence of Nadia to return the Jaegreot's look and size up the hidden attributes of the Berserker king. The Room ======== "You are not playing your ranger properly," the Controller said harshly. "An idiot would not be staring so intently at the Jaegreot's...ah, form, shall I say?" He tapped out a steady rhythm as he drummed his fingers on the table. Kirsten flushed beet red and apologized for her impertinent behavior. "I'm sorry, Controller. I-" She didn't finished, embarrassed at what she was about to say and she squirmed in her seat. Berserkers were supposed to look like...well, Berserkers! Dirty, ratty hair and ugly, definitely ugly. Not so...so...damn good-looking and sensual. The Jaegreot looked more like a highland laird from the historical romances Kirsten devoured nightly than a ferocious, deadly Berserker leader. "Focus," she mumbled to herself. "Focus on the game and not him." The Maze ======== Nadia narrowed her gaze at the Jaegreot. "I've breached the center of the maze. Now what happens?" Jaeg blinked rapidly. He swore he saw Nadia's image waver, disappear for several moments, replaced by another woman; a human woman with the lush, amply endowed shorter height he craved to conquer. Just as soon as Jaeg had taken in this new woman's form, Nadia had returned with the same blurring effect. Magic, he decided but from whom? Nadia? Yaffa? His nostrils flared when he thought of the goddess. Yes, Yaffa would do this to torment him further: offer the perfect, womanly form, then jerk it from his grasp. He scratched his bearded chin, sighing heavily, "I do not know for you are the first to reach me." She tilted her head thoughtfully. "Why are you here? Can you not leave this place?" "No," he groaned and told her his tale. "I am under a geas, magicked to this maze of my creation by a goddess because I refused her advances." Nadia gazed at him quizzically and he explained, "Uh, the goddess, Yaffa she is called, came to me on the eve of the Battle of Ferno-" "Where you killed the black troll king, Orphild?" the elfin asked surprised as she knelt before his booted feet, settling down for his story. He smiled briefly, having only heard such wonderment from small children. "Yes, I slew Orphild but that is neither here nor there. My tale lies with the eve before and not the battle itself." Nadia lowered her eyes to the floor shyly. "Yaffa came to me in my tent after sundown in the guise of a camp follower, offering herself and pleading with me to mount her. I refused, as I never engaged in sexual activities the night of an upcoming battle and the pretty goddess cursed me. Nadia?" He watched her upturned face, carefully logging the slack jaw and glaze over her blue eyes. He reached down and brushed a finger across her rosy cheek. "Nadia, are you well?" "-You- put -that-," she pointed at his groin with distaste, "in a -woman-?" "By the gods, you're a virgin!" he bellowed. "NO!" she yelled, her denial echoing throughout the chamber. "I'm -ELFIN-!" A raucous chortle came through the shut door from Tremon and Jaeg realized Nadia was simple-minded, naive and very shocked. Jaeg jumped out of his throne, grabbed Nadia and shook her bodily. "Nadia! Listen to me, dammit!" She tossed her head back and forth, working herself into a frenzy until he slapped her soundly across the face. "Will you cease caterwauling and - LISTEN-TO-ME-!?" First, her eyes grew round, then narrowed at his strike. She whipped up her sword and jabbed the deadly point deep inside his belly. He dropped his hold on her, pressing his palms hard against the profusely bleeding wound and moaned, "Why?" "You hit me! Boys are not to hit girls, no matter what!" "But it's all right for girls to stab boys, Nadia?" he whispered, tasting blood in his mouth. His words struck a cord with her. She threw down her Rapier and sank onto her knees, covering her face with her hands as she cried. 'This wasn't exactly how I wanted to be free of Yaffa's curse,' he thought idly as he felt his life essence slipping away. His lids grew heavy and difficult to keep open, so he allowed them a moment of respite, aware that it might be the last thing he ever did. "Forgive my harshness, elfin," Jaeg whispered when he found strength enough to talk. Warmth imbued his body while he felt a pair of healing hands cover his red-stained ones. "Nadia can forgive the Jaegreot," a voice not Nadia's murmured. "But I think you should have taken Tremon's method to calm her down." "Mmmm, and what is that? Kiss her senseless?" A tinkle of laughter called to him. "It's awfully hard to make a moron senseless," the feminine voice replied smartly. "But Tremon didn't get gutted for doing it. Open your eyes and tell me how you feel." There was a stitch in his side and he felt very much alive. Cautiously, Jaeg lifted his eyelids to see the identity of his healer and they shot completely open when his gaze found it was the image from before. "You! You're truly here? With me?" he asked incredulously. She wore the green and gold robes of a Druidic healer, her hair the reddish-brown of his roan gelding and her body...sweet Jesu! Thank the gods Druids followed their Goddess' edicts of tightly bound clothing which were as confining and form-fitting as any fighter's garb and gave Jaeg an excellent view of womanly curves spilling over the neckline of her robe. "If this is heaven, kill me again," he muttered, tangling his left hand deep into her locks and dragging her down for a soul-stealing kiss. He caught her off-guard with his actions but she shook off her surprise and returned his kiss enthusiastically, her tongue delving bold as brass inside his mouth. She aroused him fully and his hardness pressed painfully against his sword belt, demanding to be freed. He tore at the fastening of his trews when she mimicked loveplay with her tongue, thrusting the muscle in and out of his mouth and driving him wild. To his disappointment, the healer ended the kiss abruptly, sighing; "Your protector is a little too close for my comfort. Do you think we can find a better place without him?" "I kinna leave this chamber," Jaeg replied thickly and attempted to bring her back to his hungry mouth. She smiled coyly, an excitement brightening her eyes. "Why don't you try?" She levered herself out of his embrace, got to her feet and gave him a hand up. He accepted gratefully, still weak from the near-death blow and leaned slightly upon her shoulders. He wrapped an arm around her waist, letting his fingers graze the top of her bottom but she slid his hand up to her shoulder. "Later. Let's get you out of here first." "I would walk through hell and back on that promise alone, healer," he purred. "Kirsten. My name is Kirsten," she informed him as they hobbled toward the door. Exhausted, Jaeg propped himself along the frame while Kirsten tugged it open and a very dead Tremon crashed into her. She screamed, shoving the dead Berserker away and he dropped to the floor with a thud. The Jaegreot found renewed energy as he checked his ally for any signs of life and he howled like a wounded animal when there were none. Kirsten swallowed her fear and used her Druidic magics to figure out how he was murdered. "There's a bilbuous yellow aura around his body. Do you know anyone who leaves such a mark?" "Yaffa has enough reason to kill Tremon and the magics to do it silently," he growled and stared up at her. "I should have known this would happen when Nadia...what-?" "She's gone from this world," Kirsten answered his unspoken query. "I sacrificed her to save you." She fidgeted with the ties of her robes nervously. "Nadia's not dead, if that's bothering you. I just...took her place in the Maze because-never mind. Let's get the hell out of here." Jaeg hefted Tremon's lifeless body across his broad shoulders while Kirsten gathered Nadia's Rapier and a cumbersome claymore, handing the large broadsword to the Berserker. He raised a black brow in question. "Don't worry, I can handle a blade fairly well for a Druid." Touching the deadly tip of his sword along her pale face, Jaeg vowed softly, "As there is a breath in my body, you will never have need of weapon." He couldn't believe he'd made such a pledge to a near stranger, albeit one he ached to bed, with his lieutenant's corpse dangling over his shoulders. Had the years geased to his maze made him insane? Her cheeks stained pink at his words, her blue eyes shined brightly and he felt his heart and manhood swell with pride that he had affected her so. She shifted her mouth to the right and brushed a tender kiss against the claymore with great care so as not to injure herself. He pushed the growing affection for Kirsten aside and became the commander once more. "I will go ahead and clear the way for...us. Stay close to my back." "Like a hound to a hare," she complied and followed Jaeg out the chamber door. Something tugged at the back of his mind then let go when he crossed the threshold and the Jaegreot looked behind him as he finally left his prison of twenty-two years. The ground beneath their feet rumbled and quaked and Kirsten shouted, "It's coming down! Here, take my hand!" She flung out her arm and he gripped her fingers tightly, listening to her chant quietly under her breath. A sudden pull at his soul caused him to cry out as the air surrounding them became magically charged somehow and after many agonizing moments suspended between time and space, the trio materialized safely at the mouth of the Maze. The massive structure collapsed in upon itself as if planned to do so and Jaeg realized it never mattered if someone breached the center because, once he took his leave, the entire place would crumble to dust. Working together, Jaeg and Kirsten constructed a funeral pyre for Tremon out of branches, leaves and pine tar. Jaeg laid his friend on top of the heap, said a short prayer to his gods and sparked flint to stone, lighting the debris. He privately vowed that Tremon's death would be avenged but the promise did nothing to ease the pain in his soul. A hand touched his jerkin and he covered it with one of his, taking the small comfort the Druid offered. "We need shelter, fresh water and food," he said to take his mind off the grief. "Night is coming too soon for my liking and the goblins will be out in force after sunfall." He looked down at Kirsten and she smiled. "I know of a safe place not too far from here, a circle of stones with heavy shielding and wards against evil and a brook running through." She slipped her right hand into the cradle of his left, leaving his sword arm unencumbered as she led him deep into the forests surrounding them. The environs had grown lush and wild in his absence and made their trek slow going as they avoided briars and brambles. His lands had bent to the whim of nature and he decided, after he and Kirsten reached Drockmaur, he would see about hiring someone to tame the wilderness, perhaps a-. He stopped and waited for Kirsten to realize he wasn't following. "What is it? Are we being tracked?" she asked quickly and quietly, eyeing the woods around her. "I was thinking-" "May the Goddess help me, a thinking man," she muttered humorously, batting her lashes up at him. "-Druids understand nature, yes?" She nodded. "I can see my lands have grown unchecked while I was imprisoned and I would like to hire you to bring them to heel. You know, create a trouble-free path for my people and others to travel upon without fear of attack. Blast it!" He growled menacingly at a clinging, thorny vine wrapped around his calf and pointed to it angrily. "Do something about these krakow plants!" Kirsten chuckled, then touched a finger against the vine circling his leg and it uncoiled itself, retreating away rapidly. "Truly, you can't blame them for I, too, would very much enjoy wrapping myself around your calves." Her confession was spoken barely above a whisper as she closed her slender fingers about the well-defined muscles, heating his blood and forging him into steel. She let go and he stifled a moan when she trailed her fingertips up along his outer thigh, resting them gently atop his sword belt. "But that is neither here nor there. We have to get inside the circle and soon. I can sense unnatural creatures all around us." They ran, Kirsten first and the Jaegreot right behind her, knowing speed was of the essence and silence be damned. They reached the circle before any goblins pounced upon them and darted between two twelve-foot high monoliths. Kirsten gestured, dancing her fingers in the air and Jaeg saw the golden glow of a Druidic shield surround the stones, enveloping the pair with sanctuary. She nodded to him, saying, "We're safe and now..." He grinned salaciously under his facial hair and reached to pull her into his arms but she stepped away. "...Now we can talk. I have a lot to tell and ask you." "Women always want to talk," he grumbled but acquiesced to her wishes and seated himself, leaning his seven-foot-five-inch frame back against one of the monoliths. "Can you talk if you sit beside me? The air grows cooler..." She shook her head no and he shrugged his massive shoulders, not pressing the situation. Instead, she curled her legs underneath her bottom and sat at his feet. "I'm not from Baldohr," she began softly. "I'm from a different world, a different time, a place called Earth and I live in a city called Milwaukee. I thought Baldohr was imaginary, a...a game where people made up characters and had grand adventures. I created several different characters. Nadia the elfin ranger, whom you've met, Bubbles the dwarven fighter. I can't remember how many times she's been resurrected. Um, myself, a Druidic priestess..." she paused and checked his face. He simply looked thoughtful and bade her to continue her tale. "Anyways, I received a message, an invitation to play an exclusive adventure which I accepted with honor. I met the Controller of the Maze and he gave me the choice of which character I wanted to use and I chose Nadia because she was the best of all I had. Well, you know Nadia entered the Maze since she reached you in the center but when she gutted you...I-I begged the Controller to let Kirsten replace Nadia and he did...but..." "Magics," Jaeg whispered, reaching out and touching Kirsten's shoulder. "The...Controller used magics to send your true self to this world, yes?" "Yes," she choked out. "This Kirsten is my Baldohrian twin. Regardless of how he sent me, I couldn't just stand by and watch the Jaegreot die by my...er, Nadia's hand." Her words petered into nothing as her sobbing overcame them and she allowed him to drag her into his embrace. "Shhh, shhh, calm yourself," he said gently against her tresses, rocking her curvaceous body with his masculine arms. It was pure torture to have her so close, her luscious thighs pressing across his lap but Jaeg threw his lusty feelings aside, offering her comfort instead of his cock. "My thanks, Kirsten, for coming to my aid. I am indebted to you." She wiped the sleeve of her robe across her cheeks. "No, no you're not. It was my fault you almost died...what do I call you? The Jaegreot is such a mouthful to say." "My friends call me Jaeg." "Jag, like the car-oh, forget it. You wouldn't know what a car is anyway." She crawled off his lap, standing on her feet and tugging at her robes. "We've got a place to rest and water to drink so, food would be last on the list, yes? I'll call out and see if I can get a deer or a hart to come out of hiding and you can whack it for supper." "'Whack it'?" he asked while he got to his feet. "Do you mean kill it?" She sighed, "Sorry, Jaeg. Yes, I mean kill it but, ah, not in front me, okay?" He agreed and waited for supper to show itself. "There's a four-point stag just outside the circle," she whispered quietly. "The Goddess won't allow innocent blood spilled within the stones." He understood, hefted his claymore and stepped lightly between stones, spotting the male deer a few feet away from his position. The kill was quick and clean and he dressed the ruminant speedily, then hoisted the carcass across his back, returning inside the circle. Kirsten had fashioned a cooking spit with The Rapier suspended between two rocky spires over a blazing pit of fire. He glanced from the blade to her in question while tearing one meaty haunch off the deer. "It's immune to fire and just about everything else. Allow me to introduce to you The Rapier D'Sheark'nmaur." Jaeg was awestruck. "How...? When...?" Kirsten giggled and motioned for him to skewer the venison with the ancient weapon. "Luck of the die roll is how Nadia got a hold of it but Kirsten received it after healing the Dragon Queen Gerta from a deathly poisoned crossbow bolt." "My lady," he mumbled reverently, falling onto his knees. "Had I know you are -that- Druid healer...I apologize for having my way with you, Lady." "Get up, Jaeg," she told him and tugged on his hands. "You don't have to grovel and kow-tow to me. I should be doing that to you, oh mighty Berserker. And stop huffing so hard, you're getting hot breath all over my cleavage!" She rubbed the dampness along her neckline with the robe's collar, calling his attention to her full bust. Kirsten stared at the fat, pink muscle that snaked out and licked along the deep, fleshy valley. If she didn't call a halt immediately, she knew he'd have her flat on her back, sans clothing, and truly having his way with her. "Stop, please," she begged the warrior. "Why?" He gripped her hips forcefully, digging his callused fingers into the folds of her robes and buried his face in the creamy dale. "Because...because...I-I don't know how you look with all that hair!" He drew back, studying her flushed face and stroking his lengthy beard. "You wish me clean-shaven, Lady? What of your promise in the maze?" "Jaeg, it tickles when you kiss me," she purred and an impish thought came to her. "Would you be interested in a bargain? If you are clean-shaven -AND- have cut your hair, I will be the same for you and think how that would feel: my hairless mons against your newly bared cheeks or, better still, against the length of your rod when you take me." His green eyes crossed slightly at her powerful words and his voice dropped to an even lower pitch than usual. "I swear with my oath that I will do what you ask of me here and now as long as we are together and I ask a similar pledge from you, except that you never take a blade to your gorgeous tresses. EVER." With cat-like grace, he sprang to his feet and looped her flowing hair around one fist three times. "A woman with long hair is easier for a man to control." He held her firmly in place while he crushed his mouth against hers and demonstrated with his tongue just what he wanted to do to her. His free hand dove beneath the top of her robe, palming a breast and kneading the lovely globe until the nipple poked insistently into his hand. 'Gods, I want him inside me,' Kirsten thought, suckling his thick tongue hungrily. It had been too long since a man, hell - anyone - held her so and she reached between their bodies to unfasten the stays of his trews, whimpering as her fingers grazed his covered shaft. Her cunt became a dripping, gaping maw under her confining robes, eager to taste a Berserker's cock erupting within it. Just as his turgid member was free, she froze, sensing eyes upon them. "Something's watching us," she whispered softly against his lips. "Hush, sweetling, 'tis only the animals you feel," Jaeg moaned and shifted his attentions to a succulent earlobe. "Yaffa," he muttered in an almost inaudible tone. "What should we do?" "Playact," he said, then louder, "Lady, forget supper! I have all the sustenance you will need!" He wrapped her lax fingers around his cock and used her hand to pleasure himself. "Jaeg," Kirsten twittered. "You said nothing of carrying -two- broadswords! I wonder how many this one has cleft in twain? Will I become the next wench to be impaled upon your lengthy weapon?" Quickening her strokes, he flinched in her hand and hot, sticky semen spewed out, trickling along her slender wrist. He jerked at her hair and propelled her onto her knees, roughly ordering her to lick him clean. A strange, beautiful woman leapt into the circle and shoved Kirsten aside, the new mouth and tongue homing in on Jaeg's dirty prick. "Hey! He wants me to do that!" Kirsten cried, pouncing on top of the other woman. "Bitch!" the woman hissed, and fired bolts of flame from her fingertips at Kirsten. She turned to Jaeg, her face filled with hatred and desire. "You. You spurned me for -her-?! She's nothing more than human piglet! I will make you die a thousand times for rejecting me, Jaegreot, this I vow." "You've got to go through me to get to him," growled Kirsten as she diverted the flame bolts away with a gesture. "Piglet, am I? Who're you to talk, string bean? Elfins have more on top than you!" "Do you have any idea who -I-AM-, human?" "No and I really don't care," the priestess retorted and flattened her glowing palms along the grassy ground. She chanted under her breath, calling upon the reserves of energy in the circle and creating a fathomless pit beneath her opponent's dainty feet. The woman disappeared down the hole with a shriek and Kirsten sealed the opening as soon as the last blonde hair was inside. Dusting her hands together, she said, "That should keep her occupied for while, at least until we can get to the nearest Druids Grove." Jaeg howled deep in his throat, sheathed his claymore and grabbed The Rapier, scraping the blackened deer meat off the holy blade. He tossed Kirsten belly-down over one shoulder and ran away from the sacred circle into the errant night. end <1st attachment end> ----- ASSM Moderation System Notice------ Notice: This post has been modified from its original format.
