Skarin never hunted until he came to this world. All he ever needed was estus and food was a foreign concept for him. He found it enjoyable in a way. Stalking his prey through the woods, taking his time to aim the bow and hit the unfortunate animal in just the right place. He could also rush it and take it down with his bare hands but that's beside the point. The kind farmer that took him in after he collapsed from what he now knows as hunger, the old man taught him to hunt with a bow and arrow and how to track different animals that roam the land.

Notching an arrow and pulling back the string, he aimed at the young doe he was hunting and lined up his shot. The animal looked in his direction but still made no move to escape. Skarin slowly exhaled, his eyes focused on his target. Then a loud crack startled him from behind his arrow flying off into the sky and the doe skipping away unharmed.

"You're really bad at this. " came the voice of his new lover.

"And I thought vampires were supposed to be quiet. " he got up and the bow and arrows disappeared. "That could have fed us for three days. "

"Relax, I came prepared. " Valentina moved aside and presented four dead wild boars, all tied up and ready to go.

"Show off. " Skarin leaned in for a kiss which Valentina happily returned.

"Also, would you be a dear and carry them for me? " her hand touched her forehead in a dramatic way. "The Sun is making me feel dreadful. "

"Uhhh, sure? " Skarin replied and just lifted two boars on each shoulder and waited for Valentina.

"Oh you are such a gentleman. " she pecked him on the cheek and skipped away towards the camp.

"Wait, if you're so weak, how did you catch them anyway? "

Back at camp, Skarin was busy skinning the boars, Regina cut them up into pieces and Valentina stored them away in some kind of pocket dimension. Don't ask. Meanwhile, Druella was lazying around and not contributing at all, though to be fair her hands were kind of tied up.

"Had fun last night? " as soon as Druella spoke, Regina cut herself with a knife, Valentina dropped the piece of meat she was levitating and Skarin, well, he didn't react at all.

"Druella! " Valentina shouted with a beet red face.

"What? The entire forest heard you. " she said matter-of-factly.

"Oh gods. " the vampire buried her face in her hands in embarrassment.

"And my dear Regina. " the high orc went stiff as a board. "Did you have fun watching? "

"You did what? " Valentina's jaw dropped in disbelief.

"Well, I- "

"That's not the only thing she did. " Druella grinned. "Go on, tell them what you did. " the high-orc shuffled uncomfortably and looked at Skarin for help. Regina knew that Skarin was Valentina's chosen after last night and she really didn't want to incur the vampire's wrath.

"Let me guess. " Skarin cleaned his bloody hands off with a rag and then incinerated it with pyromancy. "You entertained yourself. "

"Excuse me? " Valentina looked at the high orc who tried to make herself as small as possible. "You fingered yourself while watching us make love? "

"Well, it was more like two animals in heat. " Druella added with a smirk.

"You watched too? " Valentina wanted the ground to open up and swallow her.

"Just because I have these on- " Druella raised her cuffed hands. "-doesn't mean I can't sense when someone is having the time of their life. And you were pretty loud. Can't say I blame you auntie, Skarin hits deep. "

"Please stop! " Valentina felt like she was on fire from all the heat that rushed to her cheeks.

"Meh. " Skarin shrugged and got back to his work.

"Meh? She watched us having sex! " Valentina pointed at Regina and the high-orc dodged out of the way of her finger. "Oh relax! I'm not going to kill you! "

"What do you want me to say? It's not like she did something bad. Besides, we put on a good show. " he winked at the vampire who gave him a deadpan look.

"For a moment I forgot who I was talking to. " the vampire then shook her head and looked back at Regina. "The point is, Skarin and I are together now and you can't just- "

"Technically, they were married before you two got it on. As far as I'm concerned, she had every right to watch her husband with a mistress. " Druella stood up and walked to Regina who seemed to get a boost of confidence. "Isn't that right? When a man has sex with you it's because you deemed him worthy of being your husband? "

"Um, yes. Yes! That's correct! " Regina stood up as confidence bubbled inside of her.

"And since you deemed him worthy, you two became married as is orcish law and tradition. "

"It's been like that for a thousand years! " Regina spoke with a sparkle in her eyes.

"But your husband is such a virile man so you had to obtain a mistress for him to satisfy his carnal desires. "

"I am a good wife after all. " Regina nodded proudly.

"And auntie Valentina just came in and took the position without asking you first, yet you still allowed them to fuck eachothers brains out. " Regina nodded furiously. "Well, then I'd say the least you could have done is to masturbate while watching your husband fill another woman with his cum, right? " oh and fill her he did. "But you are his wife which means you cum first. "

"Damn right! " the high orc shouted. "Alright, listen up mistress! I'm his wife and that means- "

Regina never finished her sentence once Valentina sent a death glare that turned the orc's legs to jelly. You do not mess with an ancient vampire.

"Be nice you two. " Skarin said over his shoulder. "Druella, stop being a snake. "

"Hey, I just say it like it is. " Druella shrugged and went back to lazying around. Out of the corner of his eyes, Skarin saw Valentina approach the terrified orc.

"Valentina- "

"What? I am being perfectly nice. " she took off the titanite ring.

"EEEK! " Regina found herself lifted up by magic and levitated towards Valentina's tent.

"We're just going to have a nice chat between girls. Right, Regina? " another glare made Regina nod her head, lest she lose it. "See? "

"Don't be long. We should get moving soon. " Skarin added and went back to packing up the boar furs to sell later. Nodding once, Valentina levitated the confused orc into her tent and plopped her down on a carpet, right in front of a large armchair. Regina was amazed at how they suddenly appeared inside a fully furnished house but she simply chucked it up to magic. Valentina sat down in the armchair and had two glasses and a bottle of wine levitate to her. The cork came out and the bottle poured it's contents into the glasses, one to Regina and one to Valentina. Regina tentatively held her glass, kneeling before Valentina's scrutinizing glare.

"So, you believe you have the right to call yourself Skarin's wife? " Valentina asked with an icy tone.

"We are considered married under orc tradition. " Regina blurted out and drank her wine as fast as she could.

"I see. " Valentina looked at the wine sloshing in her glass and appeared deep in thought. "And how do you suppose we solve this little predicament? Because I see your sudden marriage as in intrusion on my efforts to claim Skarin for myself. Have you told him that by having sex you'll be married? " Regina shook her head, her fluffy ears flat against her head. "Of course you haven't. Vampires don't appreciate someone else intruding on their prey. " Regina leaned back unconsciously just in case Valentina was about to claw her throat out. "I am a generous vampire, Regina, and I'm willing to let you keep your life in spite of your transgression. "

"Thank you. " the high orc accepted quickly, seeing as directly angering an ancient vampire was not a bright idea.

"However, I am also a woman in love so I understand what you're going through. To have your man taken by another. " Valentina took a sip of wine. "Even in the old days, high orcs were very possessive of their property, and many met their end if they took something that I already had my eyes on. " Regina gulped audibly. "But those times are long past, I'm different now and I may have a solution that will benefit us both. " Valentina stood up and walked around Regina in a slow pace, like a wolf circling it's prey. "In the old days- " she suddenly stopped. "Fuck I sound old. Anyway, orc chiefs were known to have multiple wives. " Regina's eyes widened in surprise. Was she suggesting what thought she did? "As much as this hurts my pride as a vampire, I propose that we- " Valentina forced a smile which made Regina flinch. "Share. "

"Really? " Regina beamed at the proposition.

"This arrangement benefits you more than me but don't think for a second I'm letting you be in charge. " Valentina warned and Regina nodded in understanding. "You'll repay your gratitude once you unite all orcs under your banner. " Regina raised a curious brow. "It's only natural for your kind. The weak follow the strong and by having me and Skarin by your side there's no doubt in my mind that soon you'll be the only high orc in the world. "

"Do you think that's possible? " uniting all orcs under one banner was a dream that was passed down by generations. The last time the orcs were united was a thousand years before Lilith became the Demon Lord.

"It pains me to say this, but I fear even more mamono will join our little threeway. "

"I believe all mamono are attracted to strong men. " Regina rose to her feet, feeling like she was finally on the same level as Valentina. "Which makes it even weirder since he has zero spirit energy to speak of. "

"Yeah, that's a whole different story. " Regina tilted her head. "It's complicated, I'll fill you in on the details later. " the orc nodded in understanding. "Still, we can't just let anyone join our little- " Valentina grimaced at the next word. "Harem. "

"Why is that such a problem for you? "

"Because I'm still a vampire and I still have my pride. " she said with narrowed eyes. "But since Lilith put all of us in such a complicated situation, a part of me feels that we should give others a chance. But they have to contribute something. "

"Like what? "

"I don't know. " Valentina groaned. "Not just boobs, ass and pussy. We have that in abundance. " both women checked the other out and nodded in agreement. "Speaking of, you will need to wear this. " Valentina handed over a titanite ring. Regina inspected the ring and got the same feeling that Valentina and Druella did. "I know it feels strange but it will make it easier to control your urges and deal with excessive demonic energy. " Regina put the ring on her ring finger and smiled. "Also, it will serve as a true test if you still love Skarin with that ring on. "

"It does feel strange, but my love will remain the same. " Regina said firmly. "I've had many men pleasure me throughout the years but I've never felt like I did with Skarin. "

"Well, that's a start at least. " Valentina smiled and extended her hand. Regina took it in a handshake. "We still need to do something about your outfit. " Regina looked herself over and shrugged.

"I think it's fine. Skarin likes it. " she smirked, making Valentina rolled her eyes.

"Of course he does, you look hot as hell in it. " Regina blushed at the comment. "But since we're expecting resistance and battles ahead it would be better if you wore something a little more protective. "

Back outside, Skarin was just about done with packing up their stuff and was ready to go as soon as Valentina and Regina emerged from the tent.

"What do you think they're doing in there? " Drulle asked in boredom and kicked a pebble away with her foot.

"I'm not hearing any screaming so probably talking. " he put the final piece of the tent in the bag. "Either that or Regina is already dead and Valentina is trying to hide her body. "

"Well, guess we'll find out soon enough. " Druella remarked when Valentina came out of the tent.

"Well, we talked it out and came to an understanding. " Valentina said calmly and moved aside. "And Regina was due for a new outfit. " the orc emerged from the tent. Gone was the barbarian bikini and replaced with a fur and leather outfit. Her large breasts were barely contained by the tight top and were showing a great amount of cleavage. A necklace with a sizeable fang rested comfortably on her breasts while a furry shawl fell around them and framed them for all the world to see. The gloves were a mix between white fur and black leather and two wolf tails hung from the right side of her waist, almost reaching the knee-high boots. Gone was the eyepatch, which Valentina learned she wore for fashion only, and one could now see both of her beautiful yellow eyes.

"Well? How do I look? " Regina asked a did a little turn around.

"You look great. " Skarin smiled back, causing her to blush and feel all warm inside. "And what's the understanding you got to? "

"That's our little secret. " Valentina put an arm around Regina's waist, with Skarin noticing that both had the titanite ring on their, well, ring-finger.

"That's right. " Regina returned the action and both women smirked at Skarin.

"Can we go now? " Druella groaned. "I'm sick of waiting around in this place. The sooner we get to Lescatie, the sooner I walk free. "

"You think so? " Skarin raised a curious brow.

"I know so. " Druella said confidently. "What? You really think you'll get out of Lescatie that easily? Please. I'll have you in my bed before this day is over. " Regina and Valentina looked at each other and firmly shook their heads. "What? "

"Nothing. " Valentina smiled knowingly and Regina giggled.

"Was it something I said? " Druella asked and followed the two women to the wagon.

"Don't worry about it. " Regina waved it off and Valentina had to suppress another laugh.

"Auntie! " Druella moaned like a child.

"It's something between us… " Valentina looked to Regina and smiled. "Wives. " Druella's jaw almost fell off and Skarin merely shrugged.

"Whatever it is, it's nice that you two are getting along. " Skarin got on the wagon and nicked the reigns, signaling the horse it's go time.

"Hey! Wait for me! " Druella cried and jumped into the wagon.

The Sun was already setting when they finally saw Lescatie in the distance. They were one step closer to the Hero Gem but there was still a long way to go. Valentina took this time to fill Regina in on as much details as she could and she felt relief when the high orc agreed to help them any way she could. Regina even confessed that the idea of being able to have a son sounded very appealing to her.

"So what's the plan, Skarin? " Valentina asked, already dreading the answer.

"I go in, get the gem and get out. " he answered simply, making Valentina roll her eyes.

"Anyone else? " the vampire asked around.

"How about I go in- " Druella was cut off.

"Next. "

"What's wrong with my plan? " Skarin asked feeling a little offended. It was a simple plan.

"Other than the fact you're going to get swarmed by mamono and then have to fuck your way to Francisca? Hell no. " Valentina huffed in annoyance.

"Sounds like a good plan to me. " Druella shrugged. "Wouldn't that be something? " the wagon suddenly got to a halt.

"I think this is close enough. " Skarin said while observing his surroundings. "I can already hear the orgy going on inside the city. "

"Ah yes, sweet music to my ears. " Druella shuddered with delight.

"I could try and sneak in. " Skarin suggested but Regina shook her head.

"I've been in Lescatie a few days ago. There's too many mamono to sneak past. " her brow scrunched in thought. "Unless… " the three now looked at the high orc.

"This is humiliating. " Skarin grumbled.

"Just be quiet. " Regina scolded him and continued walking. "We shouldn't draw more attention to us. " Skarin rolled his eyes before closing them and pretending to be unconscious. All around them mamono were having the time of their lives with their husbands as moans and screams of ecstasy filled the city streets. "You're poking me. " Regina blushed from feeling his hardness press against one of her breasts.

"And you are dripping. " Skarin said back and Regina blushed even more. Well, that's what you get when you carry a man over your shoulders like a sack of potatoes.

"Shhh. We're at the castle. " Regina looked forward and saw two hellhounds standing guard.

"S-state your business. Ahnnn~ " and former human guards were pounding them like the bitches in heat they were.

"I bring a gift to princess Francisca for letting us stay in the forest and find good husbands. " Regina then slapped Skarin's ass to show that she brought good merchandise.

"Quite a, hnnn, big man you brought. " the other guard said with her tongue sticking out and panting heavily.

"Only the best for princess Francisca. " Regina smirked and slapped Skarin's ass again.

"D-down the hallway, oh gods, and up the stairs! " the first guard instructed before she squirted all over the stone floor. "I'M CUMMING! "

"Have fun you two. " Regina walked past the collapsed hellhounds, their mates still pounding them like jackhammers. The large doors opened and Regina simply walked in. Right as the door magically closed on their own, Skarin was pushed against a wall with Regina's tongue in his mouth. He didn't complain but had to push her away since time was of the essence.

Regina pouted cutely and Skarin stroked her cheek.

"Later, I promise. " he then kissed her on the forehead and Regina was surprised at herself that she didn't attempt to jump him again. It was probably the ring making her mind more clear and as strange as it was, she didn't mind. The reward will feel all the more satisfying. Getting back over Regina's shoulder, the orc carried him towards the throne room where the biggest orgy in Lescatie was taking place. As the moans intensified the smell of sweat, body fluids and intense demonic energy hit Skarin's nose. "Atchoo! " he tried to stiffle the sneeze as much as he could but everyone still heard it.

"Well, well. If it isn't Regina. " Francisca's voice echoed through the room and all eyes were now on Regina. "Such a pleasure to see you again. " the princesses tentacles retracted from the four girls they were currently infecting with their eggs on the large bed and slithered around Francisca's body.

"Princess Francisca. " Regina began walking towards to mighty roper, making sure not to slip on the vast amounts of cum on the floor. "As thanks for you generosity I bring you this man as a gift. I am sure he will please you well. " she gently laid Skarin down on the ground and Francisca's tentacles slithered towards him.

"How very generous of you. " Francisca slowly rose from the bed and walked towards Skarin. Regina bowed deeply.

"You honor me with your words. "

"Hmm, a fine specimen indeed. " Francisca said sultry as one of her tentacles went over Skarin's crotch. "And hung like a horse no less. " the tentacle continued on to Skarin's face. "Maybe this one will be fit to be my husband. " the tentacle finally reached Skarin's face and left a trail of mucus on it.

"AAAAARGH! " Skarin suddenly jumped to his feet and tried to clean off whatever it was the tentacle left on his face. "EW! EW! EW! "

"Oh? " Francisca raised a brow. "You're awake? "

"That's disgusting! " Skarin yelled and grabbed a piece of cloth that was just laying around. "Keep those things away from me! "

"Now, now, no need to be rude. " Francisca smiled devilishly and took a step forward. "My tentacles will bring you unimaginable pleasures. "

"You can shove those things where the Sun don't shine! " Skarin roared back.

"Wow, you really don't like tentacles. " Regina said and immediately covered her mouth.

"You two know each other? " Francisca narrowed her eyes suspisciously.

"Ummm… " Regina took a step back but the tentacles were faster and got a hold of her. "Nooo! " she struggled to break free but it was useless. The tentacles had a firm grasp on her and she could already feel the effect of the roper aphrodisiac coursing through her body.

"Don't worry, It'll be over soon and then all three of us can enjoy ourselves. Forever! " more tentacles shot out towards Skarin who expertly grabbed them and tied them up in a knot.

"Look, I'll make this easy for you. " he said shaking off the mucus from his hands. "Just give us the necklace and we'll be out of here in no time. " Francisca looked in surprise at her tied up tentacles when a sudden jolt of pain brought her to her knees. "Also, I don't want my wife to sprout tentacles so would you kindly fuck off? " Skarin was holding one tentacle in a vice grip, almost breaking it in half, and Francisca immediately pulled back lest she looses a limb. Skarin caught the falling Regina bridal-style, the orcs face flushed from the aphrodisiac and the fact that Skarin called her his wife.

"SEIZE THEM! " Francisca screamed in rage like never before and both mamono and human stopped what they were doing and obeyed their princess. Skarin let Regina down and drew out a lothric knight's sword still in it's scabbard while Regina grabbed the giant axe from her back.

"No killing! " Skarin yelled to Regina who was about to behead an imp but just barely changed the direction of her blade.

"Where's the fun in that? " Regina shouted back and kicked a man, sending him into a group of incoming mamono. Skarin was using his sheathed sword to bonk anyone who got close to him.

"YOU ARE OUTNUMBERED! " Francisca screamed and sent more of her tentacles towards Skarin. Once in range, he smashed them away so hard they were sent flying into other mamono, some even landing into orifices.

"Nice one! " Regina shouted and headbutted a werewolf.

"Thanks! " another human found his face kissing the ground. "We have to get that necklace fast! "

Valentina and Druella waited by the wagon, the vampire was reading the final chapters of Dark Souls while Druella looked bored out of her mind.

"You can't possibly think this plan will work. " Druella droned from the floor of the wagon.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures. " Valentina said, her eyes not leaving the book. After a moment of quiet Druella spoke again.

"So, polygamy. Didn't expect that from you. " she grinned.

"Neither did I. " Valentina didn't let Druella provoke her.

"So? How do you get into this exclusive club of yours? If it's sex, I'd say you have your work cut out for you. " again, no reaction.

"We have some established criteria. " the vampire replied calmly. She knew what game Druella was trying to play and she was a little to smart for that.

"You're no fun. " Druella stuck her tongue out and went back to staring at the wagons cover. Just then an ear-splitting explosion shook their wagon and Valentina was outside in a heartbeat. "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? " Druella followed and saw smoke rising from Lescatie.

"They need our help. " Valentina took off her ring and her wings sprouted from her back.

"Our heEEEEEEEEELP! " Druella found herself high above the ground and getting closer to Lescatie.

"There! " Valentina saw Skarin and Regina running from a horde of mamono, with the former shooting fireballs to slow down their pursuers.

"What do you think you're doIIIIIIING! " Valentina dived towards the ground and landed between the horde and Skarin with a loud crash, lifting up a smokescreen of dust and sand.

"I WANT THEM ALIVE! " Francisca broke through to the front of the crowd and dispersed the smokescreen with a wave of her hand. Her eyes widened in shocked when she saw Druella in a nun outfit being held down by lady Valentina, the vampires nails pointed at the lilim's throat.

"Mistress Druella! " Francisca gasped.

"Hand over the necklace or the lilim gets it. " Valentina narrowed her eyes and spoke with a dark tone. Druella knew her aunt wouldn't actually hurt her but was surprised at the length she would go.

"Don't listen to her! " Druella yelled towards her followers. "She's bluff- " a sudden hiss escaped her as Valentina's nails dug into her skin.

"I'm running out of patience. " Valentina hissed and showed her fangs for emphasis. Wasting no time, Francisca tore off the necklace with one of her tentacles and threw it towards Skarin.

"No! " Druella screamed and struggled but to no avail. The titanite cuffs did their job perfectly.

"Ugh. " Skarin grimaced and picked up the mucus covered necklace in a rag he found on a nearby stall.

"Let her go. " Francisca pleaded and motioned her followers to stand down.

"Gladly. " Valentina grinned, then leaned down to Druella. "I'm sorry little one. " without much effort, Valentina yeeted Druella towards Francisca and the two collided before landing in a heap on the ground. Wasting no time, Valentina spread her wings and picked up Skarin and Regina mid-air before flying off as far away as possible.

"Mistress! Are you- " Francisca's worry was soon overshadowed by an enraged scream.

"AAAAARGH! " Druella clumsily got back on her feet and kicked an innocent man in the crotch. "YOU FUCKING IDIOT! " everyone recoiled in shock to hear and see such behavior from their mistress. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO LISTEN! "

"B-b-b-but m-m-mistress! T-t-hey were g-going to- "

"They weren't going to kill me you bumbling buffoon! " Druella swiped angrily at the princess who barely dodged her nails. "Get these cuffs off of me NOW! " not daring to ask a question, Francisca tried to release the cuffs any way she could.

"I… I can't. " she said with horror in her eyes. Druella was trembling with rage, her teeth almost cracking from the pressure. She suddenly let out a terrifying roar.

"SKARIN! "

High above the air, the trio heard Druella's scream of fury and as much as it hurt Valentina, she knew she had to push forward.

"I'm sorry. " Regina knew this must've been hard on the vampire and she felt Valentina's grip tighter a little.

"Thanks. But we have to do this. " Valentina smiled down at the orc who returned the gesture.

"Uh, girls? " both women looked at Skarin. "This is not a Hero Gem. "

"WHAT? " Valentina suddenly dived to the ground and all three landed in a heap.

"Nice landing. " Regina groaned as all three slowly got up. Valentina then swiped the gem from Skarin's hand and immediately felt a huge amount of energy from the gem.

"What are you saying? This is the real deal! " she handed the gem to Regina who also felt the surge of power before tossing it to Skarin.

"Hero Gem or not. " Skarin inspected it further. "This is twinkling titanite. Or at least, a piece of a bigger one. "

"What does that mean? " Regina questioned as Valentina covered her mouth in shock, the answer already obvious to her.

"It means that whoever The Hero is, he's from my world. " a long silence followed after that. The Hero was strong enough to battle Lilith and defeat her, an event only Valentina knew of. She knew how strong Skarin was but was he a match for The Hero should they ever face each other in battle?

"So what now? We can't stay here for long. " Regina asked.

"We either go north or south. Getting to Zipangu would take too long and going further west leads us to Lilith. " Skarin offered and stored away the necklace. "Since we have no information about another gem, I'd say our odds are fifty-fifty. " he then looked at Valentina. "What do you think? North or south? "

A/N

A bit of a longer one this time.

Yup, it's a harem story because I'm a horny and greedy bastard.

Regina's new outfit is the basic fur armor from Skyrim, minus the silly cap.

So, north or south? You decide with a poll on my profile page. I'll close it on the 26th of November and then write a chapter according to the result.

See ya next time!
