Gemwright Ch 06

[Day 13 | Day 5 at Karmm | Day 1 of traveling to Port Juhatara]

The rest of my night is a peaceful slumber without further interruptions. When I wake up, I get dressed, and grab some breakfast... Nuts and some citrus-type fruit Hana bought on her shopping sprees sound good.

I notice Hana and Getten having a chat. Getten looks unhappy. Before I can join them though, she slaps him across the face. The noise... sounds painful. She turns to walk away, but notices me and connects. ¬he said something a man shouldn't say to a woman# but because I'm an esteemed Lady I have already forgiven him)¬ She goes to her cart. Getten looks stunned for a little while, and then rubs his cheek.

In that case, it's not my problem. What

is

my problem is that I still haven't gotten this scroll out to where it needs to go. I pick out a scroll, and ... hmm, I don't have a way to protect it from the rain. Well, the sky looks clear. There shouldn't be rain today. Still, this thing's pretty big. I resort to telekinesis to unfurl it.

It's roughly 15 ft square. There's a lot of glyphs and shapes on it. I order out a golem, then have Sentral hold the scroll up and open with telekinesis. I pull out another scroll and have Sentral hold that open as well. They're both deployed about 20 feet away from each other. Well, let's give it a try.

I touch the paper and push in mana. As advertised, a portal appears, square, but leaving about 3 inches of paper on the edges. When the portal opens, there's some odd noises... like static, shrieking metal, and a... hum? somewhere below what I can hear? It's hard to explain.

Stepping in front of the Gate, I see myself on the other side, specifically my own back. I turn around, and I use telekinesis to grab a stick from the perimeter and move it through... And then the portal closes; it's drained my mana completely. The stick itself is launched out beside me, hitting a cart. Whoops... I'm glad that didn't hit anyone, or the other scroll, shit. Good to know it has a failsafe and won't bisect anybody if it closes while they pass. Still... Hmm. Yeah, I can see why it's not useful to people. That was not nearly enough time to get anything large through. ...I guess I should hook up Sentral next. Its mana pool is much larger than mine ever since mining village Farnn.

I order a golem to stand next to my scroll, and have Sentral bring the other scroll to itself, touching the paper to the gemstone. Carefully monitoring Sentral's mana reserves, I have it activate the scroll. It's mana drops ~2% to activate... then drops at about 1% per five seconds. Okay. I command the golem to walk through the gate. No problems, it comes out on the other side. I walk through myself, and... Yeah, here I am on the other side. I have Sentral cut the connection. Only 10% mana gone. We'll have to be organized and fast, but we can definitely get everyone through before Sentral is out of mana. The issue will be getting Sentral itself through. Bet I can solve that by giving it an external arm. It will hold the paper to maintain the connection while it moves itself through. I can't test that now though. Even though my headache and discomfort are gone, I have a promise to keep. I resolve to attempt it this evening.

I remember what else I have planned this evening. I'll be bedding Rin for the first time. She's a pretty girl. That long hair will be new for me, I've always wanted to fuck a girl with long hair. Her breasts are nice. She's pleasant all around, but Hana seemed confident I'd really enjoy myself. Is she also a great kisser? I have no shortage of kinks, so I have to assume she fits one of them. I run through several of them in my mind, envisioning what I'd like to do with any number of them.

I shake my head. Let's save my lust for Rin. I've got work to do. I store one of the scrolls back inside Sentral, and for the other, I manually control the nearby biped so that it carefully grips the scroll, carrying it in such a way that its arm blocks it from stray branches and such... probably. Wait. Am I an idiot?

I release it, then take the scroll myself. I call over one of the birds. I have Sentral hold the scroll telekinetically near the bird. It floats as I expect. Much easier.

I have the bird golem depart, with 10 more birds following. Sentral is tasked with having a biped follow at a distance, so that I have defense on point if needed. The plan is, once my telepathic connection grows fuzzy, I have one bird backtrack a little, find a perch with a bit of sun and away from human eyes, and simply act as a telepathic relay. The biped immediately lags behind the fliers, but that's okay. The fliers, and the scroll, are safe. I sit down on a chair, close my eyes, and look through the eyes of the birds. Beautiful. Today is a vacation day for me, so I decide to enjoy it for a little while, big smile on my face. I grab the stack of blindfolds Fre kindly purchased on my behalf, equip one, and take my Zone ring off so I can focus on the view.

Not long after I take a seat, I hear someone. I call out to her, "Hey, Hana, want to fly with me again?" I hold up a spare blindfold, which is taken from me. I aim and...miss? Oh wow, that's embarrassing, it's been a while since I missed like that. Like having my voice crack in conversation at age 23.. Though this body is 20ish, might happen again! I try again to connect, deepen (something seems weird?), then share the vision of my birds. I feel shock, and then wonder spill through the connection. What's going on... Oh, it's not Hana. Oops. I'm surprised she accepted, honestly. I check Sentral's Zone, and throw a connection to Hana too, and share my vision. I knock on Getten. He refuses, but does walk over. "Hey kid. Want to see the world from a thousand feet up? We're currently enjoying the sight of the bird golems."

Rin's voice is strained. "It's so beautiful... I can see so far, the trees, the mountains. Even the clouds are closer. Do you... Watch this every day?"

Me, "Usually yeah. Give me a few weeks, and I'll try to rig a bird that will respond to your control. For now you'll have to live with my piloting it."

I'm not paying attention to Getten, so I don't know what he's doing. After a long moment, he says "Yes, please. I want to see it, too."

I vaguely gesture at the blindfolds, toss him a connection, and share the vision with him as well. "It's pretty nice, isn't it?" I decide to keep dialogue out of telepathy for now. This hop forward is faster than I planned, I thought a deepened connection would be disagreeable to Rin, but I still want to introduce one thing at a time.

Rin, "Pretty nice, he says... It's beyond comparison. I don't..." I note distantly that she's crying.

I let her have her moment. It is nice.

Hana seats herself on my lap, and I smile and hug her. She declines my mental question towards the blindfolds, and simply closes her eyes.

The flight continues. The connection starts to fray... I bring the flock back a few hundred feet and leave them circling in the air while I take a different bird and land it on a tree. I posture its wings so it shouldn't be able to lose balance, and dig its talons into the branch. Link secured, I rejoin my sight to the flock and move us on.

When I take us to the second stop, Hanamaya puts a kiss on my cheek, then whispers to me, "I've got something to take care of in town. I'm going to need Getten's help. It'll be just you and Rin for at least 6 hours, I wonder what will happen..."

She leaves the link, and gets off my lap. It feels a little colder, but I'm sure it's just in my head. A short moment later, Getten leaves the link as well. I watch with Sentral's zone as Hana grabs some things, and they leave the encampment.

I telekinetically grab a new blindfold and move my blindfold up. "Rin."

She pushes her blindfold up, opens her eyes, and looks at me. I float the blindfold in front of her, and after a moment, she replaces her damp one.

Me, "Could you sit on my lap before we resume flying?" I send an image of what I'd like.

Her eyes widen, and she looks around; it's just us two. She blushes furiously, but does as I ask. Lifting her leg, she sits with her butt against my hip and her side leaning against me. I wrap my arm around her waist, and put a hand on her thigh, then close my eyes. "We'll take it slowly. Now, let's resume."

We fly longer, to the third landing. It goes as the others did.

I feel a question from her. "What is it? Ask me."

She eventually does, "Why do you leave a bird behind?"

Me, "I can only reach so far with telepathy. This extends my range, by using the birds to relay the mental link."

Rin, "I didn't know telepathy could be used like that..."

Me, "I'm really glad it can, it's how I will maintain our emergency exit, in case we ever need to leave in a hurry. "

We fly on. By the time we reach the fourth stop, I think she's forgotten she's on my lap. Probably without meaning too, she's sending pleasant feelings over the link, enjoying the flight with her whole heart.

Me, "Let's do something new. Keep that blindfold on." I say something easy to misunderstand. I feel her joy douse, and she braces herself for something unpleasant.

I send mirth through the link, then wordlessly direct her to pay attention to the birds. I send one behind 'us', out of sight, to babysit the scroll. The remaining 6 form up a horizontal line in front of our bird, facing us. Rin echoes confusion. I turn the gaze of our bird to the leftmost bird. I command it to nod, and then turn away. It gives a hard flap, lifting off by about a foot, and then it too dives away from us.

I turn 'our' head to the new leftmost bird, and repeat the process. As it dives away, I fly our bird to the rightmost side of the formation. I hope the implication is clear.

The effect was immediate.

One part trepidation threaded with four parts

thrill

flood through the link, "No no no no no wait wait you can't mean to..."

I interrupt her. "Oh, I absolutely do. It's going to be

so

much fun."

Rin, "This is too sudden, we're going to go slower right?"

Me, "Nope."

Rin, "Wait, please, I thought I was prepared for anything but this is worse"¬SO MUCH BETTER)¬

It took me a moment to parse that. She said one thing, and telepathically said another, at the same time. But now it was no longer just a suspicion she would enjoy this.

We watch a third bird lift and dive away. Three birds left, and then us.

¬he's insane# he's absolutely insane# he's deranged warped twisted I'm going to die somehow no I'm not really there not really right I'm safe right Galdr preserve me)¬

I fight the urge to comment on her stream of thought. I don't think she meant to send it.

Me, "Shh, you'll be alright. Let me promise you something." The fourth bird lifts, and we watch it dive away. "When we're done, if you didn't absolutely love the dive, I will ask nothing of you for a week."

That truly surprised her. She pulls back a little. I delay the fifth bird.

I pull my blindfold up with telekinesis, and use my hand to lift hers. Making eye contact with her, I give her a deranged grin. "But only if you embrace this ride with

all your being

." I bring my face a little closer. "You're in for the ride of your life! I want you to scream the

entire way down

!" I reset my posture, and lower her blindfold again, then my own.

I feel her acceptance before I get an, "Okay, I'll hold you to that..." She settles back down on my shoulder again.

As we begin looking through our bird again, the fifth bird dives away. This of course reminds her exactly what she just agreed to, and how close it was to our turn. I'm excited for the dive, but the feeling of excitement pulsing from her to the drum beat of her racing heart puts mine to shame. "Wait wait, no I can't do this after all, it's too much, you know, let's just go to your-"

I press my finger to her lips. "Shhhh." the last bird lifts up... And there it goes.

¬deranged deranged deranged deranged)¬ I laugh quietly. Our sight follows the diving bird for a few seconds. Then I looked ahead of us.

"No more words."

She settles for quietly whimpering. I flap our bird's wings hard, and we lift up. I pause the bird to amp her up even harder, and bring my mouth to her ear. I lower my finger, and whisper...

"Only screams."

We dive. It starts off slow, to me, but clearly not to her. "Ahhhh..... MmmmmmaaaaaaaaAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

!" She lets loose with everything she's got.

We pick up speed. I let out my own yell. "Faster and FASTER!

LET'S! FUCKING! GOOOOOO!

"

The canopy, so distant and far below mere seconds ago, is noticeably closer now.

Rin hasn't let up at all, but she frequently interrupts her screams to gulp in more breath so she can scream again. I try to match her scream for scream, but she's got me beat handily in decibleage.

We're getting closer, and closer! What a rush! But all too soon. Alright, I think about... here is where I need to pull up. I flare the wings wide and angle us upward. Raw momentum fights our maneuver and tries to send us plummeting into the treeline. I hold the wings steady and we come closer to the green field of leaves. We even out, and I flap, hard, and again, pulling us back from the brink, and lifting up into the air once more. "

YEEAAAAAHHHHH!"

Her screams die down and choke off. She gets off my lap, fumbles around her face to take off the blindfold, stumbles over to the cart, leans against it, and after a few seconds, collapses to her knees. She laughs, coughs, then laughs harder. That's just how some people react to adrenaline, I suppose. I reconnect to the birds. Sentral slowed them down long before they approached the canopy, so they're all safe. Our bird was the only one acting recklessly. I have them all lift off into the air again.

Me, "How was it?"

She doesn't answer right away. She's making an odd noise, trying to breathe but laughing so hard she can't get enough air. It's a minute or two before she calms down enough to stand up and turn around.

There's pure joy on her face. She's grinning like an idiot. "That was amazing!"

Me, "Wanna do it again?"

- - -

Rin ended up asking me for 3 dives after that. The joy never left her face, but after the 4th dive, she's had enough for one day. I couldn't blame her. I told her I'd make lunch before we do anything else, and she came with me and taught me how to make one of her favorite Al Ruheiban dishes. It was fun. It went heavier on the dairy than I'm used to, so it was a pleasant change of pace from the more bread-oriented foods I was used to from the Jensin Kingdom area.

Rin, "How do your birds work though?"

Me, "I'm a bit curious as well, but the short answer is magic. The birds are largely hollow, so despite being incredibly hard, they're very light. Something about golem magic makes parts that mimic true creatures or humanoids, behave in similar ways. When their wings flap, it doesn't grind. It's a miracle it balances itself. I shouldn't tell all my secrets to you today, but in short there's a reason it's built the way it is."

Rin, "I take it there's also a reason why so many of your creations are black? I've been trying to think why that might be, but I'm going to guess it's just magic again?"

Me, "Having the exterior be Diamond-covered Jet is beneficial for my golems. For the carts though, it means you can't see into them as well."

[Intimacy scene]

Rin, "That's good. I don't want anyone to look inside while we lay together. If it's okay with you, I'd like to fulfill my part of the obligations. You've done so much for me that you didn't have to. When I came here, it was so strange, but you've been so welcoming and kind. I'm ready to please you however you like, as much as you like."

I smile. "I'd love to. Let's see.. I need to clean up a bit before I get intimate with this fine woman in front of me. So. Go to your cart, remove your clothing, and when you are cleaned and ready, walk to my cart, naked."

She nods, and departs. I do the same. I brush my teeth, shower quickly and thoroughly, then jog to my door, fully in the nude.

She doesn't keep me waiting long. Her door opens, and out steps a beautiful young female, completely naked. Her full, very perky breasts sway alluringly with every step. She's not without some modesty, she covers her crotch with both hands, but I'll overlook it. She doesn't make eye contact on the way over, but she also doesn't hurry. As she gets near, I notice that she's in surprisingly good shape. A hint of toned muscle on her arms, stomach, legs... I wouldn't have taken her for the athletic type, but I'm glad to be wrong. I enjoy the view, and when she gets close, I take her by the hip and lead her inside.

I had to manually control the lights to make them dim without shutting off, but I think the mood lighting works well. The bed is laid out with comfortable sheets and a few pillows for us to use as we like. I don't take her to the bed yet though. I gently press her against an empty wall, and press my chest against hers. I go for a kiss, just the lips for now. One hand cups her firm rear, the other runs up her sides. She removes her hands from guard duty and throws them around my neck. I wonder if she heard from Hana what I like, because she goes for tongue kissing almost right away. I sure won't say no to a girl's wet tongue.

But I feel something curious press against my legs. She blushes harder. Guess that narrows the list to exactly one thing. I am elated.

I pull my head back, grinning. "I was hoping this would be the surprise. Sit on the bed, spread your legs, and show it to me in all of its glory."

Rin's face is completely red, but she does what I ask. I stare into her eyes, carefully not looking down, until slowly, bashfully, she spreads her legs. "I've... got a huge clit. It's grotesque."

I'm insanely aroused. Her clitoris is huge, bigger than any I've ever seen, about 3 inches long, and crimson red. It seems to gently pulse with her heartbeat. There's a beautiful crease running up the underside where two roots converge, disappearing about two third of the way up. At its base, it is as thick as my pinky, gracefully tapering down to roughly half that at its peak, and curving ever so slightly towards her stomach. I want to immediately devour her. It's a struggle to resist the urge.

She's fairly hairy down there, so it's hard to make out the details of the rest of her vagina. It's also hard to focus on anything aside from her big feature. "No, not at all. It's beautiful, raging, and passionate." I sit next to her, moving her leg out of the way. "I'm serious. I find it graceful, and so erotic. I want to touch it." She hesitates, and nods. I lick my fingers, and reach down. I've wanted something like this for so long, and she's perfect. Her length is hot, and she squirms when I lightly grasp it.

Me, "Do something for me. Your beautiful, Ruby-red female rod, I want you to refer to it as your rose."

I give it a small rub. Rin squirms. "My... rose?"

Me, "This long, beautiful red flower sprouting from your sex... is your rose. See it the way I do, as a wonderful, breathtakingly erotic extension of your womanhood.

Rin, "That's hard for me to-ooOO do,

ahh

!" I've started stroking her a little faster, the entire length of her clitoris.

Me, "I want to stroke it. I want to squeeze it. I want to lick it. I want to suck it. I want to pleasure your rose so thoroughly that you scream like a banshee, moan like a beast. I want you to orgasm so hard that you

beg

me to make you cum from your rose again, and then I will." During the speech, I take my hand and briefly rub it against her vagina for lubricant. She's surprisingly moist, given we haven't gotten very far yet. I apply it to her clitoris and start squeezing and stroking the base with my thumb and forefinger. I glide wetly over her throbbing flesh, and she begins moaning in earnest.
