"Barrage?"
"Yeah, it's so cool. It makes my spells just come flying out. Usually there's some sort of charge up time or something. But it uses all my mana. Like I can't stop casting until I'm out. And it can stagger people."
"Sounds useful but blowing all your mana on one spell sounds kinda dangerous. Gotta know it's gonna be enough."
"True. But it's way cooler than casting all slow."
Jack and Claire were discussing Claire's newest development while Khoren washed up the best he could in a nearby stream. The taste of Claire's pussy and his own cum lingered in his mouth and nose. He blushed and wondered if the other elves would be able to smell it on him.
He also couldn't help but be reminded of the load of cum in his ass. He could still feel it, almost like it was sloshing around in him. His ass still burned a little from the stretch it had received. His dick started to rise again to think of their activities but he tamped down on those thoughts.
Inevitably his mind turned to the task ahead of him and he sighed and frowned. Claire caught his expression and came to him.
"What's the matter babe? You're too cute to froen like that. Do you want to stick your face in my tits again?" She held his face in both hands, pressing herself against his front.
Khoren paused and licked his lips, considering the offer. He shook his head.
"No, just thinking about going home."
"Want some dick? I'm sure I've got another load for a hottie like you," Jack chimed in. He came behind Khoren to press his growing bulge into Khoren's ass.
Khoren sputtered. "N-n-no!" He pushed at both of them, trying to make some space before they flustered him further. "We need to talk about my village."
Jack and Claire both nodded and gave him room.
"Walk and talk?" Claire suggested.
Khoren nodded and started off in the same direction they'd been heading when they'd met him.
They walked in silence for a while. Jack and Claire were content to let Khoren collect his thoughts. He seemed pretty tense about the whole conversation and bringing them to his village. They just quietly followed as he led them through the forest.
Khoren finally began. "You aren't going to be welcome in the village. Just a few years ago you would have been brought in with open arms. But something happened. We had a human visitor. A woman. She seemed friendly and when she arrived she was very popular. Beautiful, kind, smart. She was driven about learning about magic. Galeth taught her everything he could. But it wasn't enough. When he told her he couldn't teach her any more safely, she demanded his spellbooks and implements. She insisted she could teach herself if he wasn't going to help. They fought. She was stronger than she had let on, and the battle raged across the village. If Galeth had been any less skilled he would have died. And she might have killed even more than she did."
Khoren took a deep breath and continued. "Several guards perished and Galeth was maimed. In our infinite patience and stupidity, we allowed her to leave. We sent her out naked and alone but alive. The mental and physical scars are very fresh. Not only that, but Claire is obviously a mage. It is too similar to what happened before. The elves will be furious at me and distrustful of you two. It isn't going to be fun."
Jack and Claire digested this story while they continued to walk.
"Do you want us to go somewhere else?" Jack asked.
Claire gave him a sidelong glance. Jack shrugged in return.
"We don't want to cause more trouble for you. We aren't her and we're here to have a good time. We wouldn't hurt you like she did but it sounds like the anger runs pretty deep."
Khoren nodded. "It does. But no, maybe by meeting you two we can start to heal from the tragedy."
"Good, I'm not giving up my gorgeous new boyfriend yet." Claire jumped in now. "And I bet there's even more cute elves to fuck in your village. But we've already got the cutest one right here."
Khoren looked back in shock at Claire. "But aren't you my girlfriend?" He looked surprised and a little sad.
"Oh baby, we aren't exclusive. You're my number one but I'm not missing out on a whole bunch of cock just because I have a boyfriend."
"I bet there's a whole lot of tight elven pussy too. Your ass is phenomenal but I bet they're tight as hell if your cock is what I'm compared to." Jack said as he rubbed his cock through his loincloth.
Khoren stopped and stared at them. His face was aghast at their words. They were gonna fuck the other elves too?
"But-"
"We're gonna come home to you, sweetie! Just because we're out banging other people doesn't mean we like you any less." Claire soothed him. "You're our number one and we'll make sure you're always satisfied. I promise."
Khoren wanted to be mad but his cock was beginning to respond to the idea that they'd be fucking their way through his village. He imagined the other elves getting bent over and plowed by Jack. Of Claire riding a bigger elf cock while she sucked on another. It was doing strange things to him. He was aroused, but ashamed and mad at his arousal.
Jack kissed him on the lips.
"You're our best boy. We promise. Now let's get going. Are we close?"
Khoren just nodded. He turned and trudged off, his thoughts whirling and his pants a little tighter.
He knew there were other sentries posted on their path back to the village and they'd alerted them to their approaching presence. He knew the confrontation was coming now that the village was in sight.
Sure enough, six guards, the chief, her priestess, and Galeth strode out to meet them.
"What is the meaning of this Khoren! You know humans are not allowed in the village!" The queen spat the word humans like a curse. Her voice was high and strong.
Her brown hair fell down her front in twin braids across her green leather armor. The style made her seem young, but the emerald eyes belied her actual age. A silver tiara sat atop her head with a gel that matched her eyes. Both hips had curved blades attached to them. She was slender and had a regal face, with the same long ears as Khoren. She stared at him, demanding an explanation.
Jack and Claire took the chance to check out the others while Khoren explained who they were. The guards had brown armor that matched Khoren's, as did their weapons. They also wore longswords on their sides, but right now they all watched the three of them, their bows nocked and ready.
The priestess was examining them in the same way they did her. She was clad in a light blue robe that flowed around her, clinging to her meager curves. She held a staff as tall as herself in one hand, the other on her hip. She had a bored expression on her face but she was focused on the small group. Her hair hung loose and that and features closely matched the chief. Claire wondered if they were related.
Galeth was the outlier. Where the rest of the elves were tall and slender, their features immaculate, he was scarred. His legs ended just above the knee, and a short robe covered the drifted over the stumps. He sat on some sort of floating platform. His right hand tightly gripped a rod capped with a clear crystal and a shimmering spell surrounded him. His face was grim and he looked savage with the scar that zigzagged from his temple to his mouth on the left side. The ear on that same side was mostly gone, the jagged edge reaching up less than half of his right one.
The scene was tense and Jack and Claire were reconsidering if this was the best option. Jack wondered if they could even run at this point. The elves were much more comfortable in the woods and he didn't doubt they were extremely skilled with those bows. They wouldn't have surprise or the power to overwhelm even one of them, let alone nine.
Khoren was still pleading their case.
"Nobody has forgotten what happened! But we can't live in fear of every new person that comes into the forest. We're still strong. And Ellerie can use her truth spell to ask them questions now. Interrogate them before they even come into town. Unless I've been completely fooled, these two are completely new to this world."
He sighed. "Yes, the woman is a mage. But newly awakened to her power, the only spell she even knows is firebolt."
The elves bristled at his declaration. Jack and Claire knew from his story this was going to be a problem. The last woman, a mage, had turned this whole village on its head and hurt them tremendously.
"She isn't Cassandra. And we should give them a chance."
The most surprising voice spoke up.
"Let them in, Ellsin," came the gravelly voice of Galeth. "Ellerie will speak to them and see if they have ulterior motives. But Khoren is right. We were hurt but we have had time to heal. Our doors should be open once again."
