Chandice crested the hill and looked out over a field prowling with snaplings, the dog-sized armadillos with a snapping turtle's head. She lifted a hand, and flames filled her palm before stretching out to become a black and purple staff with a horned skull at the top.
"Where have you been hiding that?" Jaina asked as the others joined her side to look over the plains.
Chandice tossed her long blond hair with an evil smile, and with a snap of her finger, a ring of fire spread across her outfit, causing it to change into a black robe with red highlights.
"I am a warlock," Chandice replied. "I used a simple recall spell for my staff, and my outfit is just a transformation spell. All basic magic skills."
"None of us use magic, except Gisley," Roric said and then considered how Gisley could transform her outfit with a cloud of glitter. That must have been the same ability and common to spell casters.
"I can solo these?" Chandice asked as she pointed to the distant monsters.
"Go right ahead," Roric urged. "If anything gets too close, Evalynn and I will handle it."
Chandice nodded and held out a hand as she chanted, creating a ring of fiery symbols that circled her body. She completed dark protection spells and armored herself up just in case, then began a quick summoning, bringing forth two imps.
She then pointed her staff and chanted as the horned skull started to glow. Suddenly a small ball of fire raced out, shooting across the open field and striking one of the snaplings. The beast roared and turned to charge as the two imps stepped in to save their master. Both fired bolts of shadows, sending a hail of dark projectiles colliding with the monster as it closed the gap. Chandice got off two more firebolts as the creature finally staggered and dropped a dozen steps away.
"So you are all ranged attacks?" Roric asked.
"Well, I can do some close combat stuff, but most of my spells are curses or direct attacks," Chandice admitted and aimed at another one. Once again, she and her minions launched a hail of fire and shadow bolts, dropping a beast just as it got close. Five of them later, Chandice called a halt to take a rest. She had a spell to help recover mana faster, so she cast it on herself to speed things up.
"I am getting a little XP from her kills," Roric said as he looked at his character sheet.
"I am getting a ton," Chandice said as she noted she was close to nine. "These are right on the edge of what I can safely kill."
"I still want to try and find the caves," he insisted, so Gisley summoned a magical disk for Chandice to sit on while her mana recovered. Jaina sat at her side, holding her hand and talking about how fun it was that they were a group.
Chandice had to admit this was rather fun, an experience she wasn't sure she would like. She had come to New Eden believing she would spend more of her time as an enchanter doing their sort of things. She even dreamed of having her own magic shop, full of items to sell that she had created. However, once she got here, she discovered that the newby areas were saturated with low-level magical junk, and there was little call for her talents. That left her experimenting with her warlock side, and she quickly learned she wasn't a tank.
Her first two deaths had been rather painful, so she spent all the points she had on summoning imps to toughen them up and reach two at once. That seemed to work better, but she found it easier to work for the money in the end. The job at the inn came with meals, drinks, and a warm bed. Plus, it was almost like working in her shop as she ran around the room helping customers.
Of course, she found other uses for her imps in the private hours of the night and smiled as she recalled that first experience. For over a year, she was happily settled, sleeping with the occasional customer and having a good time. Then Roric and Jaina came along, and things changed so fast that it was hard to keep track of.
Roric was just her type, a savage-looking beastman with a love of being rough. Jaina was his sweet little slave girl, devoted and loving with an open appreciation for sex like no woman she had ever known. Before she knew it, she was in Roric's bed, and Jaina was quick to follow. Jaina admitted that she was the first woman she had ever made love to, and a few days later, she asked Chandice to be her girlfriend.
Chandice wasn't new to girls, but this relationship was so different. She would be in bed with Roric while Jaina was stripping and fucking a room full of strange men. Later Jaina would come in happy as could be to make love to them both and talk about how fun her night had been. It was such a wonderfully open and dynamic relationship that Chandice just couldn't resist Jaina's offer. Now they were lovers, and she was invited to go with them when they moved on.
"What are you thinking about?" Jaina asked as the disk followed Gisley over the countryside. Roric and Evalynn were leading the way to the caves, killing a few snaplings for good measure.
"I was thinking about us," Chandice said and looked at Jaina as she thought about what happened just a few days ago. "What made you want to be my girlfriend?"
Jaina smiled and explained that Roric liked her a lot, and after that night, when Jaina ate her pussy, she told him how much she liked it and wanted to do it again. This led to a conversation about Jaina being a lesbian, and it just grew.
"So you did enjoy that?" Chandice laughed.
"I loved it," Jaina admitted and ran a hand up her leg. "I can't get enough of it."
"But you have Evalynn and Gisley to eat now. You don't need me," Chandice insisted.
"But I want you, and so does Roric though he has been sneaky about it," Jaina said.
"How so?" Chandice asked as that sudden reference tickled her interest. It always did seem odd that it was Jaina who approached her and not Roric. She half expected him to ask her to be one of his slaves, but he never said a word in the end.
Jaina explained how after that conversation, Roric told her that he wanted her to be a lesbian and encouraged her to seek a relationship with Chandice. Jaina had been excited to hear that because she was fond of Chandice already.
"He knew I was attracted to you, so I think he used me to keep you close to him," Jaina said as they watched him and Evalynn kill a snapping.
"The devious little beast, Chandice laughed as it all made sense. Roric had simply used his slave to do his dirty work. He wanted her to come with him, and Jaina was the bait. "So you think he did this whole lesbian thing to ensnare me?"
"Only because he could tell how much I loved eating you out. Technically you are the perfect girlfriend for both of us. You like beastmen lovers, and you're fond of girls," Jaina answered.
"How do you know I am fond of girls?" Chandice asked defiantly.
"I saw that look on your face when I descended to eat your pussy. You looked like you couldn't wait to feel my tongue inside you," Jaina replied. "Besides, when I mentioned wanting more, you told me you would give me another taste."
"But do you enjoy being a lesbian?" Chandice asked with a serious tone.
"I am obviously bisexual," Jaina said with a shrug. "You may have been the first woman I ever pleasured, but it was going to happen sooner or later. I am glad it was you because I really am attracted to you, and I am grateful that you're my girlfriend."
"Hmm, and you don't mind sharing your boyfriends with me?" Chandice asked.
"I will share everyone with you," Jaina replied.
Chandice paused to think about this revelation and decide if this was what she wanted. Jaina was right. In many ways, she was dating Roric, and he treated her far differently from his slaves. She realized that she had two good reasons to go along with the group, which helped settle her heart on the matter.
"I love you," Chandice said and looked at Jaina. "I do think of you as my lover."
"I am your lover," Jaina replied. "And that isn't the sex slave or seductress talking. I feel like you and I are the closest friends, sharing everything like we did Sergius last night."
"I hope his date goes well," Chandice commented.
"You gave him some really good pointers. The rest is up to him," Jaina laughed. "If he screws it all up, I guess we will be seeing more of him." She then paused and wondered out loud if his date would ever take a girlfriend too.
"I can tell he liked that idea," Chandice laughed. "As soon as I entered the room and you introduced me as your girlfriend, he lit up. Then, when you asked me to help you fuck him, his face was so bright I wanted to laugh."
"He liked you," Jaina agreed.
"Of course he liked me," Chandice said and leaned into Jaina. "When a woman walks into your bedroom and says, sure, I will have sex with you, what's not to like?"
Jaina laughed as the two leaned into one another. Jaina asked why she chose warlock, and Chandice admitted it was for the sex.
"So you planned the imp thing from the beginning?" Jaina asked.
Chandice laughed and explained she hadn't thought of that until she realized how slow she was leveling. Her plan from the beginning was to summon a succubus to enjoy the sexual benefits, but that wasn't until level thirty. In the meantime, all she had were the imps and the demon hound, so she decided to experiment one day.
"So you do like girls," Jaina laughed. "Or you wouldn't be after the succubus."
"Is that what you think?" Chandice giggled and let Jaina in on a bit of secret. A succubus typically appeared as a woman, but it was technically neither. If the summoner wanted it to, it could appear as a handsome male demon called an incubus. Or, if you were in a fun mood, it could appear as a woman with a large, firm penis.
"Wait, it can go full-on, futanari?" Jaina balked.
Chandice smiled and explained how only the male incubus had balls, and the middle version had both a cock and a pussy. She was looking forward to this version but had to settle for the imps as that dream was far away.
"You really are kinky," Jaina laughed.
"Says the girl who sleeps with a dozen or more men a night," Chandice countered.
