Bao Hardfal the ranger had given up trying to find anyone. After watching spellbound as the knight Ir Shodrug walked into the arms of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Right before the strange plant pod had closed up.
He came to his senses and tried to bang against the pod. But the knight never heard him. He remembered watching the discarded flesh slide down towards him while memorized by her beauty.
It made his skin crawl knowing what would happen to the knight. Yet, he couldn't think of anything he could do to save the man. The only thing he could think of had blunted his blade.
No amount of stabbing or slashing had opened the pod back up. As if held by black magic it remained tightly sealed.
The moans from within taunted him.
Distraught and all alone he tossed his blunted dagger. The ranger didn't know what else to do until a feint, sweet scent filled his nostrils.
Instantly he knew another pod was opening. A certain body part rejoiced at his luck. However, the rest of him panicked. Bao peeked around the egg shaped shell and saw an equally beautiful woman stretching within the fleshy pink walls slowly opening around her.
He plugged his nose just as she spotted him.
A wide smile spread on her perfect lips as she beckoned him over with her arms. She curled her fingers in a come-hither motion and blew corrupted pollen towards him.
That was enough for him! The ranger spun in place, going dizzy momentarily. Then bolted for the horizon as fast as he could run.
The woman poured and cried for him to return. She promised endless pleasure for the rest of his life. He wasn't listening. The sound of his beating heart echoing within his ears.
He ran until the stink of his sweat replaced the intoxicatingly tempting pheromones of that tempting woman.
His stench helped him focus. The mission had failed, horribly. The part of six hadn't come close to the wizard's home. Everything he knew about the beloved forest had changed, for the worse.
Sure waking around horny hadn't been that bad. Until people started going missing that is. What could he do all on his own?
Nothing... that's what. He had had enough. It was time to leave.
His sprint slowed to a jog, chest heaving with exhaustion. He took a deep breath and coughed, boy did he reek.
Bao took a moment to collect his bearings. Strangely enough he recognized his location. The sound of flowing water confirmed it.
The ranger was close to a stream that ran south east out of the forest. Just his luck. He could quickly rinse off and follow it to safety.
He pushed through shrubberies and low branches until the stream came into view. Though his gaze didn't linger on the calmly flowing water. Instead he paused when he spotted a woman bathing.
She had pinkish white skin with long hair, purple on one side and black on the other, pulled over her right shoulder. There were black ribbons tied in bows in her hair the opposite color on each side. He stared at her exposed back with fit and defined muscles on smooth, unblemished skin, unsure how to proceed.
The woman had her purple, silk and lace skirt bunched up at her waist. The rest of her clothing sat on the stream's bank as she bathed in the cool water.
He recognized her type by the twitching, fluffy ears that matched her hair, purple and black. She was a catgirl, a teasing, mischievous race of beast fae. Complete with a fluffy tail with purple and black stripes. Her ankles and wrists were wrapped in fluffy fur that blended into lace stockings. The only difference being their patterns were diamonds instead of stripes.
Maybe she knew what was going on? Should he risk approaching her? The ranger didn't have any experience in dealing with her kind. He only knew what others said about them, they liked to play games. What kind though, he couldn't recall.
He stood there contemplating his options when she angled her head to the side and up, crinkling her nose. Her smile never faltered when she sniffed the air and her one eyebrow arched.
"You reek for a human, do you realize that?" She had a singsong voice that pleased the ears. "Plenty of water, you know?"
Bao blinked and looked around. She hadn't turned to face him when she spoke. Though she giggled as she noticed him gazing about.
"Yes I'm talking to you. You're the only one here besides me. Don't just stand there, rinse off or get lost." She turned, looking over her shoulder at him with smoldering, golden eyes. She looked hungry as far as Bao could tell.
He couldn't tell how serious she was being between her grin and tone. He felt uncomfortable as she looked him over. However, he really did need to rinse off.
"I'm Bao by the way. You don't mind?" He asked, trying to be polite as he worked the straps to his leather armor.
"Not at all, I'd enjoy the company," she purred that last part, making him shiver.
As the ranger removed his armor she took a deeper sniff. "Smells like you were in an Alraune field."
He looked confused then she explained. "The new fae queen has been
experimenting
. I don't trust her to be honest. It's been a long time since someone laid claim to all of us. The Alraune's used to be shattered about the forest, nurturing and loving."
She eyes looked sad for a moment but her smile barely changed. Bao thought he had misread her reaction for a moment, until she spoke next.
"Now though, they're being bred in big clusters. And the women inside are almost irresistible," she licked her lips before catching herself. "Sorry," She said, giggling.
"Oh, the rows upon rows of large pods?"
"Yup that's an Alraune field. All the fae have been going through changes lately though. It's like some unseen force is tampering with them. But not me, oh no, I'm evasive. Seems like you are too, no wonder you reek, ran until you couldn't run anymore?"
"Yeah, one of them got a comrade of mine, kinda put things in perspective."
"You weren't tempted still? They're beautiful and their nectar is to die for, literally."
