Hey, everyone! I'm not gonna make a habit of addressing the audience before each story, but I do want to say that I'm really happy to see people enjoying this series so far. It's my first time diving into writing for an audience, as opposed to just writing for my own entertainment, and I'm glad that other people are digging it.
With that said I'll put a bit of a caution on this one. It will be diving into some mild dom/sub play and some hazy consent scenarios that may make some people uncomfortable. If that's you, no shame, give this one a pass and come back for the next chapter where we'll be back to lighter fare.
Again, I appreciate your support, and thanks for joining me in Valsa!

I arose feeling disoriented. Rubbing my temples, I realized I was on my couch back home. The cheap folding sofa felt rough and unpleasant under my skin as I stood up. Beyond the sliding door in front of me, I could see the Garnacan capital city of Balisport, or at least, as much of it as I could see before taller buildings blocked my view.
A sound from the bedroom drew my attention. A cat was meowing. I followed the sound, and sitting upon the brown plush blanket was the black cat I'd seen the day before. Its yellow-green slitted eyes regarded me curiously. A feminine arm slipped around my chest, then another. I could feel the warm pressure of lips kissing against the back of my neck.
"Oh, I'm so glad you brought me to visit, Jev," it was Dione's voice. "But you know I can't stay here without my tree."
I grabbed one of the arms, but it dissolved into a crumpled mass of oak leaves, crumbling between my fingers as it turned to dust. I turned to see what had happened to Dione, but upon turning around I was no longer in my apartment, but instead walking into my office. I took a seat at my station, where the phone was ringing. No one else was in the office, so I answered the call on hands-free.
"Jev?"
It was my father's voice.
"Are you at your work? What are you doing there? We trusted you to take care of your Grandad's house!"
I tried to answer, but the mute light was on. I tried turning it off, but pressing the button seemed only to increase the volume.
"You know, I knew we should have taken care of this from the start. Now, not only are you ruining our holiday, but we've probably got thousands of dollars of fees to pay! Of all the irresponsible, childish, hopele--"
My dad's voice was cut off as I threw the phone across the room. The cables attached to the phone snapped free, becoming thick, woody vines that lashed back and wrapped around my arms and legs. I struggled to resist as they began to pull me below my desk into a shadowy void. I felt myself being dragged through the nothingness. A spotlit area appeared below me, the bed and floor of my apartment. Gone was the little cat. It was replaced now with the lithe, nude form of Dione, glistening with water as she was at the spring. Her back was arched and she had one hand in the cleft of her legs. I watched the lurid performance, suspended by the vines that seemed always to be drawing me forward but also not approaching the scene.
Her eyes locked with mine. Rather than the soft moss-green I was used to, her eyes were the same yellow-green with slitted pupils as the black cat I'd seen earlier. She drew back her hand, glistening with her moisture, and licked at her fingers. A long, purple, serpentine tongue wrapped around her digits and drew them into her mouth.
Her legs reached out and locked behind my hips. She pulled me towards her, the force as irresistible as if I'd been locked within metal girders. I became aware that I was nude. I could feel her silky-smooth skin pressing and sliding against mine. The moisture of her pussy was warm and wet against my cock, which pressed upwards, the shaft sliding over the hardened nub of her clit. I struggled to readjust myself, to drill myself into her core, but the force of her legs prevented me from adjusting enough. She teased me like this for a while, moaning lasciviously as my cock slipped back and forth between her petals and over her bud. Finally, she relented. The vines loosened and her legs fell to the side of me. I looked down to guide my member into her slick, willing passage.
When I looked back into her eyes to see her reaction, though, Dione was no longer there. Now in her place on the bed lay Manica, the harpy woman I'd met on my first day in Valsa. I tried to pull free, but my body wouldn't respond to my mind. My hips rocked of their own volition and my hands wandered over the feathered body, tracing their way over the slim waist and kneading her breasts.
"It's fine, I guess you don't need me after all."
Dione stood now at the head of the bed, fully clothed, watching me vigorously fucking the harpy woman. Manica made little chirruping pants as I continued to give her my cock, and Dione watched with heartbreak in her eyes. Finally, Manica came, screeching her orgasm, before disappearing in a cloud of feathers. My cock stood straight out in front of me, but I was nowhere near ready to burst - I felt as though I'd barely done anything.
I tried to reach out to Dione, to explain, but she was gone. I sat alone in the darkness.
Somewhere, a phone was ringing.
I walked into the darkness, trying to follow the sound. Walking through the darkness for what seemed like hours, I eventually found a door, the kind of commercial steel door with a glass window and push bar. The door wasn't mounted to anything and stood alone within its frame in nothingness, the small wire-crossed window the only light entering around me. I pushed the door open and stepped through.
I was at my university graduation, dressed in my commencement robes. A voice on stage called my name and I walked forward. I could see my mom and dad in the audience, beaming proudly. The dean stood, with the paper held out and his hand ready to be shaken. Upon the podium, a small black cat watched intently as I shook his hand, and walked away with my degree, going to join my parents sitting in the audience. They were practically vibrating with excitement.
"Well, let's see it!"
I opened the protective vinyl cover of the document. It was empty within-- no paper, no diploma.
Both of their faces fell. My father shrugged.
"I suppose that's to be expected. Not like you were going to use it anyway. My boy spends years getting his degree and decides to throw it away by farming in some backwater town. He's gonna abandon us just like his Grandad did..."
I felt arms wrap around my body. Dione and Cydwen -- in her human form -- came up, flanking me and locking their arms around mine. Cyd's warm breath tickled my ear as she whispered in it.
"C'mon, you don't need to stand for this."
Dione moved in from the other side.
"You deserve to be happy. We can make you happy, Jev. Don't you want us to make you happy?"
Both girls began pulling me away from my parents. I started to make a token resistance against their effort, but they were right. At least, I didn't want to stay here, being yelled at. Anywhere they could take me had to be better than here, right?
"That's right, Jev. Just let us take you away."
The cat trotted along beside us. My father's voice was disappearing into the distance as the gymnasium faded again into blackness. Once again, I was naked, as were Dione and Cyd. Dione sat on her haunches in front of me, while from behind Cydwen pressed her body against mine. I could feel the soft pressure of her breasts pushing into my back, while one arm was wrapped around my frame. She slowly began stroking my cock in long, slow movements. Dione moved in, wrapped her plump lips around the tip and started bobbing her head, moving in tandem with the other woman. Together they expertly worked at my cock.
"Give yourself to me, my love. You know I want it from you."
Once again, yellow-green eyes shimmered from Dione's face, and a long, serpentine tongue now wrapped around my shaft. Slowly, the beautiful wood-grain skin faded to purple, while her vibrant green hair darkened to blue-black. A thin, whipping tail emerged from behind her, tipped with a spade-shaped point, and two long horns curled up from her brow like an antelope's.
"Cydwen" had undergone a similar transformation, and I found myself in the embrace of two identical demonic twins. The cat approached, glowing with energy before it transformed into a third version of the feminine form, this one mantled by a pair of enormous purple-and-black batlike wings. This third one stalked forward, connecting her lips to mine with a gentle kiss. Her tongue parted my lips, and that purple tendril began investigating my mouth, probing and wrestling with my own appendage. She grabbed my wrist and placed my hand upon her impossibly perfect breast as her "siblings" continued their ministrations below.
"You're still resisting me, Jev. I only want what's best for you, don't you know that? Relax, and let me take care of you."
Appearing from the ground, three more copies formed. One joined her "sister" at my cock, licking and tonguing around my cock and balls wherever there was free space. The other two took to stroking my body, running their hands and bodies alongside my torso and thighs. The sensation should have been maddening, but it felt far away and unreal, as though the figures were ghosts -- insubstantial and unreal.
In the distance, I once again heard a phone ringing. I don't know why, but it seemed important, that it needed to be answered. I tried disentangling myself from the mass of writhing lady-flesh. They clung to my body and arms like an insistent octopus, but by pushing myself away I was eventually able to free myself. A light appeared in the darkness above me. By willing myself there, I found I was able to fly towards it. The white light filled my vision and I woke up.
I was in a sterile white room, lying on a hospital bed. The crisp starched sheets felt rough and unpleasant against my skin. There was an acrid tang of ammonia in the air. From outside of the room a phone was ringing, apparently unheeded for the moment. Dione rested her head against my thigh, sitting on a chair beside me and I reached out to stroke her hair. She looked up at me with her eyes full of tears and smiled radiantly.
