Zeena could not sleep that night, getting up constantly to check on her lovely sweet Ariel and wondering if she did the right thing. Her mind was crazy, with confusion, concerning the fight that they almost didn't make it through because she was worried about her unarmed bard. How could she rape and torture Ariel like that. The woman she loved, with all of her heart, did nothing to deserve such punishment and yet she defiled her during most of the moons shadow, over and over again. Zeena sat sharpening her sword watching her lover sleep. She still possessed the staff, within her sodomized and abused ass, which she had unmercifully embedded so deep that it would not budge until she saw fit to remove it. Thoughts of regret swirled within her psyche. She would then feel the fear that losing Ariel had been a real possibility that day, causing her to assure herself she did the right thing in teaching Ariel a valuable lesson, though it was a very painful and humiliating one.
It had been dawn for a while now. Zeena walked over to where her little one was with food, water, warm oil, and the numbing salve. She gently touched Ariel's young, pretty face with her finger, outlining her brow and cheeks down to her chin. Softly she said, "Ariel?...Time to wake up". Zeena's voice was so loving and caring now, unlike the stern and maniacal tone she had the night before that scorned her sweet Ariel so harshly. The poetess stirred slowly batting her eyes, trying to focus on Zeena's face, but her eyes were swollen from crying so hard and her throat hurt from screaming from all of the pain inflicted upon her by her enraged lover.
She struggled to awaken and tried to speak, but it was a faint inaudible whisper. Zeena's eyes showed concern for her beautiful lover and she took the water and made Ariel drink, which she did slowly. Zeena coated her lovers' lips with the cool water with her finger, pouring some in her hand and washing her face off with it. Ariel could finally open her eyes and see her now loving warrior princesses concerned and saddened eyes looking back at hers. Ariel saying "Zennnna..." ever so softly made Zeena smile, knowing her injured bard was alright and able to speak. Zeena felt a little relief until she saw a grimace come over her sweet ones face "Zeena, oh by the gods it hurts...it's still there? " Ariel started to struggle but Zeena held her down and the whip was wrapped so tight she could not move. "Zeena please take it out...please...no more..."
Zeena assured Ariel she would remove it, urging, "Ariel don't struggle it will hurt much worse. Let me put the oil on it love. Please be still." Ariel became quiet and very still trusting her lovers' words. Zeena applied the warm oil around the huge protruding staff and coated her lovers' ass with it generously. Dried blood encrusted around the staff causing it to stick to the skin that was stretched so far to accommodate the end of the staff. Zeena rubbed the oil into Ariel's reddened and sore flesh. She then warned her sweet submissive lover that it was going to hurt when she removed the object of the defiling rape. Ariel shook her head in an understanding gesture. Zeena began to move the staff around causing Ariel to wince and wiggle. "Be still my love". Zeena implored. The oil was dripping into Ariel's orifice and as Zeena felt the staff become loosened she suddenly removed it from the tight ass that had held it for so long.
Ariel arched her back, screaming and crying out loudly as the staff was finally freed from her sodomized cavity. She wept as Zeena held her... kissing her head, her face, her hands. Zeena then untied and removed the whip that bound her lover throughout the night and held her tight to her bosom. Ariel weakly said,"It hurts Zeena...please take the pain away." Zeena picked Ariel up and carried her in her arms to the stream. She walked into the stream, still carrying her bard and washed her clean. Ariel winced again as the cool water caused her asshole to burn, at first, and then the cleansing waters felt so good as they flowed all over her hyper sensitive body. After Zeena washed her thoroughly she carried Ariel to the pallet by the fire, gently laying her down on her stomach.
Zeena went to the tree to fetch the numbing oil, returning to find Ariel resting and almost asleep again. "This will make you feel better love." Zeena told Ariel in a reassuring tone.
Ariel faintly said, "Thank you Zeena...yes please make the pain go away." The mighty warrior gently inspected Ariel's ravished ass for any more bleeding, but there was none. She covered her fingers in the numbing suave and applied it gently to Ariel's anus. Noticing how red and swollen it was, she applied a thick coating of it. The sweet bard could feel the instantaneous soothing and cooling effect it had on her engorged anus.
Zeena said "I must put some inside. It shouldn't hurt much." Ariel braced herself for more pain, but she only felt pressure as Zeena inserted two fingers and put an ample amount inside her anal cavity. Ariel was relieved that the pain was finally gone and she was free, lying next to her strong warrior lover. Zeena lay beside her young lover as she curled up to her, resting her head on Zeena's bosom.
Ariel asked,"Zeena, can we just stay here today please? I'm so tired."
Zeena smiled saying, "Yes we can rest today. Ariel I am so sorry. "
Ariel interjected, saying, "I know Zeena. I understand. I learned my lesson. You were right. I never want to leave you alone. I love you.'
A tear rolled down Zeena's cheek as she tried to maintain composure saying," Oh my sweet Ariel, I love you. I can't bear to lose you...ever." As the warrior drifted to sleep, she wondered about the guilt she felt for ravishing her beautiful bard like she did. Could she ever forgive herself? She wondered many things as sleep overtook them both...sweet slumber, for the exhausted lovers, was very welcomed.
The two fell asleep only to wake, at nightfall, from their hunger pains. Ariel awoke first, ready to eat a horse. As she struggled to her feet, she was sore but not in pain. None the less, walking was slow going. She retrieved her staff, which Zeena had already washed for her, to assist her walking as she went to the stream to fetch more water. When she returned, she noticed Zeena had awakened and was nowhere to be found. The bard went to put a few sticks into the fire as it was getting dark and getting much cooler. Ariel looked around the camp for signs of her warrior lover only to find her sword next to the log Zeena had been sitting on earlier to sharpen its raging blade.
Ariel was overtaken with worry when suddenly Zeena came from the forest holding a rabbit that had fallen victim to one of her expertly set snares, "Look Ariel. Dinner" She said with a bright smile. Ariel looked at her in disbelief exclaiming," Zeena! You left without your sword??!!"
Zeena looked over to her sword and shrugged saying "I didn't need a sword for such a puny rabbit, Ariel. Besides it was already dead." Zeena nonchalantly handed Ariel the rabbit saying, "I'm starved, are you going to cook this thing or what? Here I will skin it for you." Ariel watched Zeena cleaning the rabbit, astonished that Zeena did such a careless thing by not taking her sword. She was furious that Zeena had been so careless as to leave them both in a vulnerable position. Zeena handed Ariel the freshly cleaned rabbit, watching her place it on the fire and wondering if the bard had any idea what she was really doing.
After they ate, Ariel looked at Zeena with a flare of contempt and anger. "Zeena what you did today was very dangerous. People are always trying to kill you and you are going to walk around without your sword?!"
Zeena looked at Ariel and as innocent as possible said "It was just a little rabbit love."
Ariel angrily replied, "Yes, and you could have been killed over a little rabbit. My warrior princess killed because she forgot her sword to go fetch a rabbit!! That's not good, Zeena." Zeena trying to act surprised at the angry outburst of her bard bowed her head saying she was sorry.
"Sorry isn't good enough Zeena." Zeena looked into Ariel's emerald green eyes seeing anger, worry, and hurt just as she had in her own eyes the night before. Her little lover was now in her shoes and Zeena secretly hoped that Ariel would unleash her fury onto her...And she did. "Get your sword Zeena and bring it to me. NOW!" Zeena stood up almost alarmed at the tone of Ariel's voice. She had never heard her voice be so commanding or forceful before. When Zeena walked to Ariel with the sword in her hand, the bard told Zeena to place the blade of it in the ground. Zeena buried the blade securely into the ground close to the fire as Ariel instructed. Ariel looked deep into Zeena's intense crystal blue eyes and then licked the warrior's long neck up and down, finally biting it drawing blood, causing the beautiful warrior to flinch and moan deeply. Ariel then stepped back wickedly grinning, eyeing the statuesque warrior up and down with hungry green eyes. Once again she fixated on her lovers eyes as she sternly stood in front of the tall muscular warrior.
