Welcome back!
Next week will be the second chapter of my other story, The Witch's Offering. (Shorter. Modern setting. Magic. Has monster girls but aren't a focus. Lots of pop culture references. XD) After that, the next two weeks will be TRC Chapters :D (I'm slowly getting back on track for weekly releases again. Yay!)
For those of you reading The Runesmith Chronicles for the first time, I recommend going back and starting with the first book The Runesmith Chronicles (it's actually Oni and the Farmer but it's too late to change it here :P). Mostly so you have a better understanding of how things like the magic system works and what's going on as I often reference earlier chapters.
I update my Bio with the latest Chapters and projects I'm working on each time I put up a new post!
As always votes and feedback are greatly appreciated!
Enjoy!

Chapter 8
Kal and Ria watched as Daxas and her pack disappeared over a hill in the distance. The sprite sighing sadly.
"Sounds like you are going to miss them as much as I am," said Kal.
"No, I'm just trying to decide if I should be proud of you or disappointed."
"Because I didn't bond the whole pack?"
"No," said the sprite wistfully, "because you've been living with a bunch of horny canines and not once did you walk onto the tent and make the comment, 'It smells like wet dog in here,'"
His expression was one of stunned amazement as he stared at the sprite. Ria, on the other hand, was laughing so hard at the look on Kal's face she was slowly drifting to the ground as her wings beat weakly.
The mage's shock turned into a chuckle then a guffaw and soon enough the crossroads rang out with the sounds of laughter from the sprite's unexpected joke. He was suddenly caught up short as Ria flitted up and kissed him on the nose.
"Ria! What?!" he sputtered.
"I've been saving that one for when it was needed. Didn't want to see you moping about all day after Dax left," said the ghostly sprite while blushing so hard her entire face nearly turned transparent.
Kal smiled, "Thanks, Ria. I think I needed that." Looking down he said, "Gerda is going to be here soon."
The mage caught the slight scowl on the little avatar's face out of the corner of his eye. "What was that for?" he asked.
"Sorry, Kal. I'm happy that Gerda is coming but I was sort of looking forward to traveling with you again. Alone." Ria's visage faded as she blushed once again.
"Does this have anything to do with the extremely friendly goodbyes you received earlier?"
"Maybe a little, but we can discuss that later."
"Good idea, she's almost here. Ria, could you fly up and be sure no one is heading our way before she comes to the surface?"
"Got it," replied the sprite before flitting high into the air and checking in all four directions for any oncoming travelers.
Once Ria gave Kal the all-clear to pass on to the golem, Gerda began to slowly emerge from the road in front of him. She attempted to try a sexy pose as she rose up out of the ground but her nervousness at being on the surface ruined the effect. It was hard to see a woman as sexy when she was plainly terrified of her surroundings. The more the golem's body became visible, the more Kal found maintaining that train of thought proved difficult.
When Kal first met Gerda, her human parts were all soft and curvy and the parts of her body made from rock looked like... well... rocks. After a visit from her sister, Bas, the golem was convinced to stop eating what they called 'sweet rocks' which consisted of softer, more mineral-like stones and semi-precious gems. Gerda took it upon herself to exercise more and get her body close to that of his other women. Seeing how hard she was working, Kal didn't have the heart to tell her that he quite enjoyed the differences between her and Perra, whose body was fit from working the farm, or Ikuno, whose muscular frame never seemed to change. It became immediately noticeable that the golem had continued her regimen in his absence, her breasts appeared to be slightly smaller and had lost some of their sway, though the still jiggled enticingly as she scanned the area with apprehension. Her belly and legs were also slimmer and were on the verge of falling into the 'toned' category.
Bas also showed her sister how to smooth out the rocky parts of her body. Her legs, arm and upper quarter of her head now looked like the stones you might find in a riverbed that had been polished to a glossy finish. Gerda shrunk the stone portions of her body to closely match her human side and also grew a thin shell over her human arm, giving the appearance of wearing elbow-length gray gloves.
Despite the scared look on her face Kal had to admit that the golem looked stunning. He decided to let her know how much he appreciated her new look by stepping forward and wrapping his arms around her before pulling the woman into a kiss.
Her fear of the surface momentarily forgotten in his embrace and ignoring the red glow from the strength rune on the new-looking piece of leather he wore, she wrapped her arms around him and pressed her lips into his with all of the longing from months of separation behind it. For long minutes they stood there, their tongues dueling as Gerda rubbed her breasts with their pebble-hard nipples against his chest and ground her sex against the bulge growing in Kal's trousers.
Reluctantly, he finally pulled back. Ria had told them there wasn't anyone coming, but this road was fairly well-traveled and he didn't know how long that would last. It certainly wouldn't last as long as he needed to show the golem how much he had missed her.
Kal was about to ask the bag of holding's avatar for his earpiece when Gerda held up a hand with the palm facing up. A tiny rock with a hole through it and a hook that went over his ear to hold it in place grew directly out of her palm, falling over with a faint click as it broke free. The golem carefully put the device on Kal's ear but instead of speaking just put her arms around him again and held him tight as she sighed with contentment.
The mage was happy to let Gerda get her fill of him after his absence, the only issue was the woman's strength and that he had to constantly use his strength rune to keep her from breaking his ribs. They stood there in silence for a few more minutes before he heard Ria flutter down from somewhere above them and tap him on the shoulder.
"Sorry to interrupt but there's a small merchant caravan coming from the west," said the sprite, looking truly apologetic.
Kal looked down, "Shall we go?"
Gerda nodded and took his hand, the stone that made up her arm extending out and wrapping around Kal's forearm so he couldn't let go, even accidentally. Ria flew down next to her bag and faded away as mage and golem sunk into the road.

A short time later Kal felt a rock floor beneath his feet as they stepped into a small cavern, he then quickly summoned a light as there didn't appear to be any glowing mosses or fungi. Gerda used her geomancy to pull a rectangular table up from the floor then tilted and lowered it slightly so one end was at waist level before turning and lying back on it. Kal was already shucking his clothing, the golem's desire coming across the bond strongly. Gerda spread her legs in invitation, reaching up and holding them in place with a hand behind each knee.
Kal leaned over and kissed the rock girl once again, his tongue spearing into her mouth as she moaned from the feel of his body pressed against hers. His hands came up, kneading her breasts and tweaking her nipples as he moved down to nip at her neck. Gerda gasped as he moved his hips forward, laying his cock across the top of her sex so the underside rubbed along her clit when he started making small movements.
"Don't tease," the golem moaned, her voice sounding like someone rubbing two rough-cut rocks together in the mage's ear without the pebble in it.
Kal was torn, he wanted to take his time and make proper love to a woman he hadn't seen in months. On the other hand, impatience that he had never seen before in the golem was coming through the bond along with her lust. He briefly considered teasing her just a little but decided that could wait for some other time. If he was being honest, feeling how badly she wanted him right then was turning him on fiercely and he was quickly losing any resolve to draw things out.
Adjusting his hips, he pulled back slightly, the head of his prick sliding across her clit before slipping down between her lower lips and coming to rest at the entrance to her sex. Gerda let go of her knees and grabbed his upper arms, shaking with excitement as Kal began to slowly press into the wetness of her pussy.
The golem's whole body jerked as the head of his prick slipped inside her. The walls of her sex clamped down as if trying to push him out while the hands pulling on his arms let him know that was the last thing she wanted at that moment. Despite how tight Gerda had become, Kal kept pushing into her. The mage watched for any signs that he might be hurting the woman but instead, she leaned forward and moved her hands to his hips trying to make him go faster.
