Hazal of Bo

Writer's note: to anyone who follows me, I thank you for the loyal support. It's been an incredible time writing all of these stories so far, and I hope to continue doing so. I just think it's time to take a bit of a break. Maybe the well will fill up again in the future. Khazal will be back, as I don't think I have adequately explored her potential.

I always read your comments, and try my best to reply. Even the criticisms are always welcome, because I can't become a better writer without them. If you just want to call me names, I'll take it.

I think we're all fortunate to have a forum like this to explore our deep thoughts. My predilection for science fiction led me here, to explore the world where some shy chemistry student can break free of her mundane existence to become the unlikely hero of a barbarian planet. Hopefully I have been doing the females justice, and making them feel like real people, and not just my sexual playthings.

I think reading about strong characters makes the sexual moments that more enticing, and they don't get much stronger than what you find on Bok--a matriarchal warrior-class dustball, struggling to pull itself out of its infancy and move beyond its decimation at alien hands. They proved themselves time and again, and I want to be just like them.

Thanks so much for reading. It means a great deal to me, and I think you're all striving to get the best from your entertainment. I salute you all for letting your imaginations still be tickled with the printed word, instead of some crass video full of bad actors.

So, I'm not quitting--just resting the pen for a bit. Take care of yourselves, and each other.

On the

Parallax Vista

, Jinji was despondent over losing her best friend. "It destroyed her! I let it kill her!"

"Silence, Jinji!" Venus took Jinji by the shoulders. "That device did not scorch the chair, and the energy output was not strong enough to disintegrate Khazal. We cannot assume that she was destroyed."

"We will find her," Delia promised. "We will be back in Boccan space within one day. Surely there will be resources back on Bok that can help us track her down. Perhaps the device took her back to Bok!"

Jinji pondered this. "I suppose the origin of the artifact was on Bok." She relaxed, and Venus let go of her. "I just do not know how to explain to her mother that we lost her daughter."

Back at the asteroid, protected by the five goddesses, Khazal was continuing her training. She was in her

theosdan

form, glowing white and surging with power. She sat on the temple floor cross-legged across from Arquis, the green goddess of sacrifice. Her green body glowed as well as she focused her energy on meditation. She was attempting to teach Khazal how to expand her horizons and communicate with the universe.

Khazal broke concentration and stood up. "Grrr! This is hopeless," she groused. She got back down on one knee in front of Arquis. "Goddess, what shall I do? I feel as if I cannot abandon my poor mother, but the opportunities here are too great to pass up. What do you recommend?"

Arquis only smiled and raised her hand up. She then made her hand flutter down, then crossed her arms over her ample chest.

Khazal rolled her eyes, then tried to communicate via telepathy.

"Arquis--please. I seek your guidance."

Arquis only put a hand over her heart and tilted a head to the side. Khazal got to her feet and turned, folding her arms. "I am so confused. I have been here for fifty days, and I have not gotten closer to a decision." She balled up her fists, then shot out energy bolts toward the back room.

Arquis got to her feet and put a gentle hand on Khazal's shoulder. Khazal stopped her firing, then put a hand on Arquis's. "I apologize. Perhaps I am being too emotional."

Arquis led Khazal to the back room, where the artifact was being contained. When they entered, the other goddesses were in there. The artifact was glowing and rotating.

"Khazal," Oola said. "Please, you should see. We are summoning the other

theosdan

. She should be here."

"Her mind is still being obfuscated, but we have detected a starship coming at us at high velocity," Melbrik reported. "You will meet her soon."

"Perhaps it is time to retire for today," Kleeda suggested. Khazal agreed, and arrangements for a pod were made to pick her up. She flew back to her humble home.

Dromu was waiting for her there, in a long silk robe. Khazal stepped out of the pod and ran up. "Where is Peth?"

"Peth wishes to be alone," Dromu replied. "I am sad to say that we had a quarrel."

"Aww," Khazal said. She gave Dromu a hug, then kissed her neck. She tenderly took the ends of the silk robe and opened it up, then let the garment cascade to the floor.

Dromu lifted a leg and wrapped it around the back of Khazal's thigh. The two of them kissed and let their hands explore wherever. Dromu's tiger-striped skin was smooth to the touch. Khazal took two handfuls of Dromu's curvaceous ass, then banged her hips against Dromu's.

The two of them collapsed on the bed. Dromu had summoned a feeldoe, which Khazal took hold of. She inserted the giving end into Dromu's juicy twat, then held the tool and sucked the end. Khazal then climbed on board, letting the feeldoe slide up into her. She felt the pop sensation as it went all the way, smiling as she felt it go in. Khazal humped her ass up and down while Dromu held onto Khazal's hips.

Dromu got Khazal to get off, then went in behind. Khazal kept her back arched as she got rammed from behind. Dromu seemed to be a master at the feeldoe. Khazal squirted with fury as the fake cock popped out of her pussy. She them sucked the appendage while Dromu laid on her back and enjoyed the sensation. Khazal pulled the tool out of Dromu and fucked Dromu's sloppy pussy until she came. The two of them held each other and drifted off.

The next morning, Khazal boarded the pod. The mysterious spacecraft was almost at the facility, and she wanted to greet her fellow

theosdan

with open arms.

Khazal greeted Unin at the front and stripped down, then ran into the temple interior. The five goddesses were standing there waiting for her.

"There is an issue," Shijzan stated. "The vessel approaching us is infested with an unknown life-form. It is immune to our psi-scans."

"We have to assume it is hostile," Kleeda explained. "We must go to the outside of the sanctuary and defend our home."

"How do we know this?" asked Khazal. "Perhaps we should try to communicate more."

"The vessel is within range," Melbrik said flatly. "We are leaving. This will be dangerous."

Khazal activated her powers, her flesh now glowing bright white. "I am coming."

"You cannot," Oola objected. "You have much training left."

"If there is no sanctuary," Khazal began, "then the danger will be a moot point." Khazal picked up her satchel as well, filled with items they acquired on their journey to assemble the artifact. Oola relented and allowed her daughter to join them.

The six of them flew up through the retractable window. The millions of beings down below gazed up at the streaks of light heading into space, unsure of what threat they faced.

The spaceship had arrived and cut the slipstream, coming within a few hundred kilometres of the sanctuary. Hundreds of tendrils were waving about in open space.

"We must defend the sanctuary,"

Kleeda said in psi-speak. The five goddesses fired their energy weapons toward the tendrils. Several energy bolts sliced through the tendrils, but more appeared in their place.

"Mother, we cannot stop this creature this way,"

Khazal said in her own psi-speak. She lifted up and flew toward the vessel.

"Khazal--wait!"

Oola pleaded for her daughter to stop, but she was being distracted by several of the tendrils flying toward her.

Khazal made it to the hull of the ship. There was an airlock that Khazal was able to force open, then promptly closed behind her. She ran down the hallway, realizing the tendrils were getting bigger and more numerous as she made way into the interior. She could use her energy bolts to suppress the tendrils.

As she got into what she assumed was a loading bay, she stopped. There was a great deal of twisted, knotty ropes of some sort of creature writhing and slithering.

"I have been waiting for you," a sickeningly sinister voice yelled out. The creature had three heads pop out of its body, each with glowing red eyes and sharp teeth.

"Who are you?" asked Khazal.

"We are Shanskuwashap," the three heads all said in unison. "We have been travelling the universe, looking for new absorptions."

"What do you mean by absorptions?" asked Khazal.

"We feed," the heads all said together. "Mere living creatures are but a morsel. We drain their life force. After a while, we came across one that could sustain us a long time."

The tendrils peeled back to reveal a humanoid shape. She was bald, and had slick dark skin. Her body was gorgeous and statuesque, with a slim waist and curvy hips. She had immaculate breasts and fine pouty lips. The tendrils were stuck to her skin like octopus arms. There was a faint glow of purple light emanating from her skin.

Khazal halted as she knew who this was. "Jace," she gasped.

"This one," Shanskuwashap hissed giddily. "This one was not like the others. She has a power that can sustain us for centuries. These goddesses summoned her, and led me right to this asteroid. We will soon possess the goddesses. So much energy!"

Khazal balled up her fists and let the energy flow. She shot a single bolt out at one of the heads, which made it explode. Another grew in its place.

"Naughty girl!" The heads all laughed in a smarmy tone. "The goddesses cannot stop me."

"All of their power combined will defeat you!" Khazal looked at Jace. "Jace! Please! You must fight this abomination!"

Jace opened her eyes. Her eyes glowed with a faint purple light. "Kill me," she pleaded, a tear running down her cheek. "Before this creature defeats you."

On the domed surface of the sanctuary, the goddesses were getting overwhelmed. Arquis had been snagged by a tendril around her leg. While she had blasted it away, another took its place and grabbed both of her legs, She was being hauled toward the vessel.

"Arquis!" Oola fired several blasts to try to stop her friend from being taken, only the tendrils wrapped around her. Even her immense strength was being drained away, as she felt herself getting weaker. Soon the other goddesses were unable to prevent the tendrils from scooping them up.

Back on the ship, the heads of Shanskuwashap cackled with wicked laughter. "I have them! This was too easy! I will be sustained for eternity!" Jace was swallowed back up into the body of Shanskuwashap. "You have failed, energy creature. I will now consume you as well."

The tendrils flung themselves out at Khazal. Despite several energy blasts, a few fibres of the alien creature wrapped around one of Khazal's arms. She fumbled with her satchel, finding what she needed. She felt herself getting dizzy and weak already.

The fibrous masses pulled Khazal toward the main creature. Khazal held a vial, one of the tubes of universal medicine that they acquired on Bulana. She popped the top off of the glass vial, just as the tendrils had pulled her in and covered her face and body. She was pulled into the creature and enveloped.

"It is complete!" Shanskuwashap howled with satisfied laughter. "Energy to last for lifetimes! We are complete now! We..." The heads all looked at each other. "This is not right. No no no."

The skin of the creature began to bubble and smoke at the location where Khazal was absorbed. The smouldering reaction radiated out from the source. The heads of Shanskuwashap swivelled around in a panic. "What is this? What is happening to us?"

After a while, the tendrils holding Khazal in disappeared and melted away from her, dropping her to the deck of the loading bay. She caught her breath and allowed her body to reignite. The alien creature continued to melt away. Eventually, Jace fell onto the floor as well. She appeared weakened, but her body began to glow a brighter purple.

Khazal had only a minimal energy drain, while Jace had been drained for two centuries. Khazal picked Jace up and headed to the edge of the spaceship. Rather than trying the door, she blasted her way out of the hull and went into space.

The tendrils dancing in space were all reacting to the universal medicine, melting away in the vacuum of space. Khazal landed down on the glass dome and laid Jace down to allow her to recover. Khazal watched up as she saw five different coloured streaks of light heading away from the spaceship. Melbrik had turned in space and gave one giant blast to the spaceship to push it away. After more of the tendrils burned away, the structure of the spaceship began to buckle. As soon as the structure folded in, the spaceship exploded in a bright flash.

Back at the temple, the five goddesses combined their energy to revitalize Jace. She was still dazed, but she appeared to have her faculties again. She was laid out on a soft bed.

Jace sat up and looked at the glowing orange goddess. "I do not know you."

Oola smiled. "I am the new one. Khazal's mother, as a matter of fact."

Jace held her head. "I am sorry, goddesses. I have abandoned you. My capture almost caused your destruction."

"Our desire to reconnect with you caused this," Shijzan replied. "Our use of the artifact summoned that creature here."

"I was duped," Jace admitted. "I was replying to a distress call. That creature had captured those aboard the vessel. It had used the element of surprise. I could not detect it. What a vile creature. My mind was connected to it for so many years. It has only a desire to feed on the lifeforce of others."

"You may join us now," Melbrik suggested. "You can take time to regenerate your powers. Learn from us."

Jace shook her head. "I do not know yet. I just...wish not to be a

theosdan

for a while."

"Perhaps she is traumatized," Khazal said. "May we reside on Bok for a while?"

"We?" Oola turned to her daughter. "You wish to reject us as well?"

Khazal put a hand on Oola's muscly arm. "I just wish to get the chance to say goodbye to my friends, and to Mama," she intoned. "Let Jace get her grounding again. It might make her more likely to stay."

Oola's bright orange eyes grew more intense. "You are wiser than all of us. Very well--we grant you one Boccan year."

Khazal hugged her large mother. "We will return. Jace needs time to heal."

All five of the goddesses gathered around Jace and Khazal. They raised their hands, and a bright glow enveloped the two

theosdana

.

Jace and Khazal found themselves settled on an arid planet, only there was a lush oasis nearby. Their glowing skin had gone back to its normal self, with Khazal her usual red hue and Jace her almost black.

The two of them stood up and looked around. "Where are we?" asked Jace.

Khazal breathed deep, then smiled. "It must be Bok. The goddesses returned us." She turned to Jace. "We shall let you find peace again."

Jace took Khazal and dragged her to the oasis. "I have not cleansed myself in so long!" The two of them ran at breakneck speed, then dove into the cool water. The two of them splashed and frolicked, laughing the whole time. Khazal could not reconcile that she was nearly absorbed by some space parasite just a few hours ago.

Jace swam up to Khazal with a shy smile. She popped up out of the cool water, her breasts shining from the bright sun and the pool. Her nipples were erect. "I can never thank you enough for saving me." She wrapped her arms around Khazal's torso. "Do you enjoy the company of women?"

Khazal was floored by the sudden offer, but she decided that with all she had gone through, she needed some release. She took Jace's cheeks in her hands and kissed her fellow

theosdan

. The two of them stood in the waist-high water as they kissed and fondled. Khazal scooped up both of Jace's tits in her hands as they let their tongues wrap around each other's.

There was a flat stone big enough for several people to lie on at the edge of the lagoon. Khazal went to it and got her legs spread out. Jace dutifully came in and lapped away at Khazal's hairless bump. Khazal shut her eyes as the sun shone down on her. The sound of Jace's slurps were all Khazal could hear. Khazal kept a hand rested on Jace's bald head as she clenched her ass and gritted her teeth.

Jace jumped up from the water and laid on top of Khazal. Khazal had two fingers deep into Jace's slit as her other hand rubbed up and down Jace's dark chest. The two of them rolled back and forth on the stone slab. Jace climbed aboard Khazal, then ground her pussy back and forth. She hung her head back as Khazal gave Jace's hard nips a few tender flicks. Jace had an amazingly athletic body on her with banana boobs, Khazal's favourite.

The two of them fucked and moaned for nearly an hour. They laid out on the stone slab, a few of the lush trees now providing them shade. Khazal wiped at the sweat on her chest, then sat up. "We must return to the castle. I would wager that my friends have made it to the queen by now."

Jace sat up as well and looked at her nubile naked body. "I cannot meet royalty like

this

!"

Khazal gave her a wink, then activated her powers. She made a fine dress form on her own body, then gave one to Jace as well. "I believe this will be sufficient for Aunt Penelope. Come!"

In the throne room, Penelope was seated at her throne, wearing her less ornate crown. Venus, Delia, and Jinji were all there on their knees. Groovi was standing at the back of the room.

"Your excellency," Venus began. "We regret to inform you that we have lost Khazal. She had assembled the components of the mysterious artifact, and...she just disappeared!"

Penelope looked at Delia. "You were supposed to be protecting these women on their journey."

Delia hung her head. "I beg mercy, excellency."

Groovi was about to cry, when the doors to the throne room swung open. "Do not weep for me yet!" Khazal turned to see her mother. "Mama!" Khazal grabbed her small mother in a hug. "I am sorry that I could not report to you sooner. I was taken away."

"Where did you go, dear?" asked Groovi.

"We will explain later," Khazal replied. She went over to her friends, who all gave her a big hug. Khazal gestured over to her new friend in the back of the room. "This is Jace. She is my new companion."

Khazal went up and bowed in front of her queen. "Aunt P--your excellency, we have travelled to many new worlds, including your homeworld."

"You went to Earth?" Penelope sat upright. "Did you see Venus's grandmother?"

"Indeed we did," Khazal went on. "We have much to report. Our star charts should be of most benefit to our planet."

"We look forward to it," Penelope said. "However, your mother has some terrible news."

Groovi came forward and put her hands on Khazal's shoulders. "I am sorry to report that Crele has fallen quite ill. She has succumbed to her condition. The doctors believe that she will not make it to the night."

"Oh," Khazal said, looking as if she would collapse. She then put a hand on her satchel. "Wait! I have something. Please take me to see Aunty Crele."

Groovi, Khazal, and Jace went to the hospital in shuttle. "Do you wish to use your powers to cure your auntie?"

"I cannot risk it," Khazal whispered back. "Mother cannot know of our powers yet."

They went into the hospital, and were guided up to Crele's room. Groovi entered first, then turned in horror at the condition of Crele. She was under the covers, but her arms and legs would not stop convulsing. Crele's head jerked back and forth, and her face was contorted with many tics.
