"Sleep well?"
General Calahaus stood from rolling up his bed roll to witness Aurora Dawson walking toward him rubbing the sleep from her eyes. While she saw perfectly it was an every morning ritual of her past existence and one her reflexes found necessary to fulfill. Impossible for even the General not to admire her succulent nudity, her every step a lifetime of tantalizing fortune to anyone spying. Which meant all of his troops. Leary of her dangerous flesh at least kept them at bay, the fact she towered over most of them did indeed help. Intimidation or not a lot of cocks were saluting her.
"Once I got past a bad dream...like a baby." A shiver at saying baby made her have an all too brief vision, one of darkness save for thin reflections of what appeared a glint like a diamond effect spinning about. Added to that she saw what looked like a spectral pair of hands flailing about. Once it faded she simply stood idle trying to decipher what she witnessed.
"You saw a vision." A female voice approached. From her left the oracle Odessi Kilpatrick being hauled like a backpack over the Roman teenager Amoreus' shoulders was brought forward to face Aurora. "As did I. Shall we compare notes?"
"Pretty much darkness with ghostly hands waving like they were smoke, a shimmering butterfly in flight effect. I had another vision that woke me up last night. One of the man I used to...be in love with. He's here somewhere too, you mentioned him not long ago."
"Yes. The man who had no control."
"What?"
"He truly does love you...but...there is another with strong feelings. I see diamonds."
"Please tell me it's not one of my pack. If I see one dog lifting up a diamond ring in his teeth I'm going to..."
"I HEARD THAT!" Mathias telepathically jested. The rest of her pack chuckling in the distance. "Relax Den Momma we all love you but its loyalty. Not Scooby Dooby I DO!"
"Thanks! Stop eavesdropping dammit!" Aurora shook her head then turned again to Odessi. "What was your vision?"
"Much blood in darkness, as if walls were bleeding. Like you I could not pierce the shadows."
"So we're both still literally in the dark."
"Not completely. I saw...you."
"Me? Oh boy! Blood? Was I on my period?"
"I do not think so. I saw your reflection in blood as if trying to escape but you could not. You made a strange hand gesture...if I had hands I would show you." She frowns then shares a glint of inspiration. "I know I shouldn't but I feel this necessary." Amoreus finds his eyes rolling behind his brow and he turns in step to show Aurora his hands. Using both he forms a large O with his fingers for Aurora to see. In the blink of doing so his eyes flutter back to normal, his gaze staring right at Aurora's huge tits. Swallowing dryly Amoreus shuffles around to turn away once more. "What does that mean?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe I was holding something that wasn't there. That or...the O could be referring to me strangling your cute little neck for taking over your rides brain."
"I try not to but sometimes it helps me communicate."
"I get it but how do you think he feels about losing control?"
"I know it is wrong. If it's any consolation...he forgets afterwards."
"Y'know? That O might be me communicating with you, your name does start with the letter O."
"Perhaps! I will inform you if I have more visions."
"I saw Kodi Prescott in a vision too. Like the other dream it was dark and eerie. I could almost hear treetops creaking. I wish something substantial would slip through to lead me to him. Same with Antonio for that matter. As much as he and I...are at odds I would like to know he's safe. In this crazy place we all need to be together."
"I agree. Do you think...Garameth has forgiven me?"
"Ask him. I'm staying out of it."
"I...fear talking to him." Her eyes locate the wolf off with his pack, simply sitting there majestically. Tilting his gaze her way he shows his teeth then strangely winks at her. She nearly peed her diaper, which was a piece of cloak utilized from one of the Roman troops that had been killed in battle.
"Sweetie? You need a bath." Aurora spoke telepathically to avoid ears overhearing her.
"I cannot help it. Water has been scarce thus far in our travels. I do see a big waterfall somewhere but I cannot determine distance."
"That sounds promising...we could all use a bit of hygiene worship."
Hearing the General cry out, "MOUNT UP!" Aurora felt her pussy tingle. Groaning at her hormones constant escalation even her nipples stabbed higher than normal.
"I hate it when he says that."

Eternal darkness of the Spotless Mind...a twist on a dilemma.
Antonio Harker was freefalling, having taken a wrong step in the cave's darkness and toppling to his certain demise. Hearing his ally DJ helpless high above calling out his name with concern Antonio simply concluded it was game over. Nothing he had in his possession could possibly be used to save him. His newly acquired sword left his grip and had a head start over his descent, peering down at an impossible chasm all he could hear was the chattering of bats and the heartbeats of leathery wings all around him.
"Just get it over with already."
He closed his eyes prepared for death. DJ's echoing calls fading left his tomb all the more appealing. "Coming to meet you in...spirit Sammy." He mumbled. "It was good serving under you Dad." Ready to once more apologize to Aurora Dawson he heard a shrill CHING then a brilliant burst of white light that made his eyelids open to the glare. All around him the cavern was bright and large...humanoid bats were swarming around him in flight, yet none coming near his trajectory. "Vampires? Wonderful!"
The sudden surge of light had a strange ringing reverb to it that seemed to be painful and disorienting to the bats. Searching for the source of the light he found he could pierce the veil of blindness to see his new sword standing hilt up, it's sharp blade again in the stone floor...coming ever closer. "That you Sammy?" He guessed.
Within fifty feet of being pulp on the ground a whooshing noise drew his attention to an..."Angel?" Not quite. Although devastatingly beautiful the alabaster skin of a definite vampire swept him into her arms and slowed his demise. Updraft caught he found her taking him downward while resisting the obvious agony that the shrill vibrations coming from the sword was inflicting. Worse yet his face was smothered into her huge breasts, soft and cushy. All he could think of was airbags deployed before the crash. Scent strangely like limes he knew he could use a drink.
Setting him down on the ground near his embedded sword she carefully releases him from her grasp and rises back up, holding her sensitive ears. Her gaze dark but yearning for peace Antonio stood up and eyed his sword. Stepping over to it he gripped the hilt and yanked it from the ground as easily as he had earlier in the Crystalarium. Once the sword left the rocks the light simmered down and the vibes became a softer hum. It seemed to relax the chattering above. Looking hesitantly at his blade Antonio growled as if looking for his brother's image within the timid light, "You couldn't have lit my way before I fell into a bottomless pit could you?"
A searing scream cut off his attentiveness toward the blade. Above him the female wavered in flight regaining her full faculties now that the hum was becoming minimal. Looking horrified she rose high into the air and let out shrieks that seemed to keep the thousands of other bats at bay. Once they obeyed her she fled off into the darkness leaving Antonio to his own defenses. While his blade still had a light source he waved it toward the sky hoping DJ might see that he had survived his fall. Another blood curdling scream of a second female made him tense.
"God I hope she isn't being drained of blood. How do I get out of here?"
The only answer was...up!

"Steeeeerike!"
Stone's Throw Base on the Arctic Circle...the entertainment wing...
"Phone call Dr. Kurevski." A guard approached the Head of Special Projects as he pumped a fist at his opponent to the rear his bowling lane. Enthusiasm fleeting as business called the good Doctor scowled and took a cordless phone.
"This is Kurevski."
"Sorry to bother you Sir."
