MORNING WOOD
Whether it had been from the cumulative exhaustion of their travels to reach the City of Cleave's Citadel or the sudden release of bottled sexual energy from the night before, Bris had slept soundly. When she awoke, she was still naked and alone, her folds still wet and unsatisfied, her fingers already caressing away. The cocktail that Lyra had prepared - that elixir of fine wine and virile seed was magical, since consuming it, every synapse in her mind and body was on fire. Overpowering yes, senses in overdrive, each stroke of her fingertips on her hard clit sending signals of pleasure that seemed to last an eternity, an unbroken wave that re-intensified as her stroke re-started. Yet, she was aware of every sound around her, every smell and these were feeding into her brain faster than ever before. When she masturbated before, this had never happened and her logical mind traced it back to the elixir consumed, the major difference in her sexual machinations.
Soon the stroking wasn't enough, and she had two fingers inside, then a third, sliding in and out at a furious pace which would have hurt her, if not for the copious amounts of juices flowing from her. She switched hands to avoid tiring herself, the previously active hand covered in her juices was on her breasts massaging them, focusing on the hardened nipples. After forever in her mind (in actuality only half hour) she lay on the bed, dishevelled and breathing hard, skin covered in sweat and pussy juice, her mind wondering if in public humans would smell her scent and be aroused, the bait to possibly drawn one in for a night of proper fucking. Alas, she knew they had an audience with the Generals and her eyes focused on a note on the table, likely from Lyra:
'Gone for breakfast - Jesse reserved the Private Dining room for us all morning. Bathe first (I suspect you smell like pussy), then meet me and I'll explain the path over the next few days.'
BRUNCH and TALK
An hour later, Bris found herself pushing the sturdy doors of the dining room - the ironwood planks were thick and had great brass locks upon them, which she noticed could only be locked from the inside. The room itself was large and cosy, a small fire crackling away in the corner and casting light throughout as there were no windows. Other than the great doors and a small, neatly hidden stone door near the fireplace, there was no entry or spy port. '
This was designed for secrecy and for clandestine meetings''
she thought as she shut the doors behind her and approached Lyra.
Lyra was busy stuffing a wedge of cheese in her mouth; the utensil used her dagger, regular forks still alongside the plate, undisturbed. Her attention buried in a map, the purple hair tied in a bun, her slender elven ears fully visible, along with a surprisingly graceful neck. Without looking up, Lyra spoke, her voice muffled by the food in it: "I gather you have questions? About why we're here?"
"Yes.....so - " Lyra cut her off and began speaking.
Why we're here? I really wanted to know about that mini-orgy last night!
"Our Tribe usually focuses on training the next generation of elite warriors and spies, as well as research into magic and machinery. This has been our way of life for two hundred years and we are known for our discipline and dedication to these crafts. Our young women - like yourself - are given every opportunity to succeed without having to wonder about the needs or dangers others your age face. The other eleven cities respect our isolation as we never waiver when called to serve."
Lyra continued as her young companion swallowed a bite of bread taken from the bowl in between them.
"The other elven cities have been sending their armies to the southern border. Unlike us, their armies are mostly men, hence the reason you haven't seen any of the Bonding Ceremonies of late. Anyways, our enemies have broken our lines and pillaged Sandfurrow - no one survived. The Elders have called us in to begin gathering intelligence and looking for weaknesses en masse. To ensure that our furnaces and towers are at full production. To ensure that ALL young warriors who are gifted with the ability to lead are fully initiated as knights, sans Bonding Ceremonies. Essentially, we're mobilizing for a war, not the regular skirmishes or assassinations that we usually undertake."
Bris felt her stomach twist - she never knew that the Timbercrown armies were being decimated, much less that there was a second battlefront. The news had been carefully controlled by the Elders and Bris wondered exactly how many people knew, considering that prior to setting off with Lyra, her own life was essentially mundane and normal. It was safe life, in a safe city, yet overall a nasty, horrible shadow was smothering the Kingdom unbeknownst to them. The sinking feeling would wait, as Lyra moved to answer the knocking on the door. Opened, the blonde human who had guided them into the Citadel, Jesse was speaking to Lyra:
"Apologies ma'am but the Generals' are ready to see you. Please follow me. Oh, they said something about tonight to have your fill and asked me to give you this pamphlet" Jesse had a quizzical look as she handed Lyra a sealed document. Both elves soon began following Jesse to the main War Chamber of the Citadel. Before entering the chamber, Lyra used hand-speak to tell Jesse to wait outside, whispering quietly to her own paige that once the meeting ended, further explanations would be given.
As the doors opened, a gruff voice was heard, utterly a simple command spell to release both elven warriors from their vow of silence: "Luna maiden loqui gratis!"
General Stone was a large human, one leg mechanical, one eye covered with a steel plate, a rune glowing. He was in full armour, the silver colour duller than the white of his long beard. His voice was gruff and he was old, yet something about him intoxicated the elves, especially the younger one. Next to him an eleven mage, in green ceremonial armour, a stern look on his face, a face that betrayed his true age, one that was much older than General Stone's. Both women recognized him from his swords however - the black blades of Ravage, with the phallic shaped grips. This was General Gaius. Lyra's eyes were focused on him, fists clenched hard and in Bris's racing mind she swore that Lyra was getting flushed. Gaius in turn had slightly licked his lips, the movement so fast that only an elf could have seen, clearly Lyra had enticed him.
"Lyra, the Unflinching and her paige, welcome!" General Stone spoke and as he did, he looked Bris over. In her mind, she could feel him undressing her, arousing her, her juices starting to flow once again ....W
hat is wrong with me????
Gaius spoke directly Lyra, his stern eyes slightly softer: "I gather she is one of the uninitiated ones? I heard she has extreme promise?"
"Unfortunately, due to the war, I'll be in charge of that aspect of her initiation. I did receive your communique about that but my Matron's instructions were clear and my Matron expects that a General of your standing would respect her wishes. So, that means, my General, that she is out of bounds, for now. Anyways, what exactly is the mission?" Lyra was confident and terrible as she spoke, almost scolding him.
"You are to head north-east and scout the position of the Eastern Army. Once located, find the leader in charge and kill him or her. Secondary mission shall be to destroy their Crystal Orb - without it, they can't communicate with their leaders" General Stone was straight to the point.
"You don't know who the general of their army is?" Lyra asked.
