"Master we have news from Juno. Apparently some Champion has taken the second piece of the Mystical Valkyrie" a Rybio reported to the Evil Snake Lord
"What! Why was I not informed sooner of the Glove's location!" the Lord responded enraged at his minions
"Sir...we did not even know the dancer left Payon, we watched the door, but saw no one leave. Then this sleeper said it felt a disturbance in the under regions of Juno and saw a Champion and High Priest dispatching its comrades. The female champion went right through the monsters like they were water. They had never seen such power come from a monk class. Then they saw a flash from a cave that they had never seen before and saw the glove and the high priest disappear with the champion in his arms." a Rybio reported to the Lord.
"Curses...I am surrounded by idiots. I want you to search high and low for the next piece. Its supposed to be a mystical Axe so go and look where an Axe might be located." and with that his monsters scattered but the Rybio stood in place for a minute as if frozen
"So what happened to your brother. The one that was supposed to be following my dancer?" the lord asked.
"Sir I do not know. He took the form of that rogue and we had word of him in Morroc but that was the last thing we heard from him. Its not like Lichan to not report back. Do you wish for me to make inquiries my lord." Ruchan the Rybio said fearing that he would say no.
"Normally I would have killed you instead, but you and your brother are unique in the ability to metamorph so I will not kill you. Go, find out what you can and report directly to me within a day." The lord said to him
"As you wish my master" Ruchan said and he bowed deeply before his lord as he walked away
"It has taken me 5000 years to come this far and those pieces will not elude me again" he muttered to his empty throne room.
OoO
As Bizi came back to where they started he saw Sirano waiting for him. Sirano waved him down and said "What happened to Mistress?"
"She is unconscious because of the trial, which she passed. We both did. Help me with her, she is getting heavy" Bizi said as he started to falter with her.
Bizi sat her up and with Sirano on one side and him on the other they took her back to the Teng residence. When they got there the party was waiting for them outside. Axia ran to her sister and said "Is she alright?"
"She will be fine, but I need to get her somewhere where she can rest." Bizi said
"Take her to the room on the far left upstairs. There is a change of clothing for the both of you up there. I assumed you would be sharing her room" Lexkai said as he pointed towards a staircase.
"Yes I will be, and I thank you for not interfering." Bizi said as he carried her upstairs
Upstairs he found the room and opened it up to find the room was completely white. The bed itself had a mosquito canvas around it giving the bed an almost ethereal look. He knew she would love this room when she awoke. He then went to the couch and removed his coat as he was now all hot and sweaty from lifting her and decided to take a shower before she awoke. He remembered how Aldo broke the news to Axia and he certainly didn't want a repeat of that when he told her that they too were expecting. As he started the shower he heard her move around so he very quickly took the shower and dried himself and slipped into the bed beside her so that when she awoke he would be there with her.
OoO
"Okay Lexkai so now that my sister is fine and she obviously passed the test is there a reason why my other sisters are here?" Axia said as she watched her two younger sisters picking herbs so that Tati could make potions. "As much as I adore having my entire family here, there must be a reason why?"
"Patience little gypsy you will find out soon enough" Lexkai said cryptically
"Oh knock off the 'oh wise one' crap Lex, we are the same bloody age so give her a straight answer" Aldo said crossly as he adjusted Axia as she was sitting in his lap. With her condition, and the threat that may happen he wanted her close to her.
"Pet can you bring your wings down a bit, they are starting to make me sneeze" Aldo said and with that he sneezed.
Axia adjusted herself and moved herself so that her wings were no longer touching Aldo but off to the side of him and wiped his nose.
"Can you two get more sickening" Callie said and walked off to help her younger sisters
"Is something wrong with her?" Lex said
"She is jealous. She doesn't have a part in this that is why she is acting like that" Axis said as it was lying across Axia's legs. "But she is more important then she knows" Axis finished cryptically.
"What do you mean Axis?" Axia said.
"In due time my chosen." Axis said.
"So Lexkai, are you going to answer me and tell me why my sisters are here?" Axia said
"You just do not give up do you? Very well. The girls are here because I requested they come. The reason is that with that sample of your blood I determined that your family, your entire family, are the chosen ones. Your younger sisters are the next ones to take the piece of the Mystical Valkyrie. Unlike Mistress and yourself, even though you are twins, you are completely different vocations. The younger twins are not. Per se. Being an alchemist and a blacksmith they both can wield the same weapons if they wished. The next piece is in the heart of Aldebaren. It is the Axe of the Valkyries and because both of your sisters can wield axes they both will be needed." Lex said.
"What blood did you get from me?" Axia said unfazed by what he just said
"Your virginal blood that Aldo sent me" Lex said knowing that his twin brother would now get the rage of the gypsy.
"Achoo...pet...achoo...PET...ACHOO!" Aldo said as Axia started to flex her wings as she knew it would annoy him.
"Sent him my blood did you...guess you like the floor huh 'pet'" Axia said as she and Axis got up and followed her sisters.
"That's a very spirited woman you got there" Lex said as he was chuckling to himself
"Shut up Lex. Why did you have to tell her like that. Can't you ever keep anything to yourself." Aldo said as he crossed his arms and stuck out one of his long legs.
"Not when it is at your expense dear brother. So when were you going to inquire about mother?" Lex said smirking at his young brother
"I wasn't. When you all threw me into the academy and left me to rot I ended all ties with this family. The only reason I got into contact with you last year was because of the business with the Lord. I saw him gathering near Payon and I knew that Axis was there." Aldo said
"Aldo we did it because we knew the next generation of Dancers would bring out Axis. Having you as a bard was a sure way for you to find out. Who on earth would have guessed that it was Axia's family as you didn't share anything about her life. If we had known who her family was before you messaged me a week ago, they all would have been prepared. And Mistress would not have endured that 5 years of hell. So before you get all high and mighty with me, you just remember that. You are just as much to blame as we are." Lex said as he started to get up. "Now if you want to come and talk with Mother she is on the 3rd floor hiding from Little Tati. That girl has far too much energy for her own good." He finished as he walked out the door.
"Hehehe..you should have seen her when she was born!" Aldo said with a chuckle as he remembered being with Axia when her sisters were born. Both were born blonde, but when they hit 12, Tati had enough of people blaming her for her sister rambunctious behaviour so she let her hair all grow out and then dyed it green. She then adopted an attitude of being very studious so that people would stop comparing her to her sister. Now he watched them as they were both 16 now and very grounded in their roles. As he remembered from last week, the only time you saw them both as rambunctious teenagers was when they were drunk
He remembered hearing about a boy named Isagani that Tati was head over heels in love with, but he treated her like a baby sister. He thought about how much he loved Axia's family versus his own family as he watched Tati and little Tati who was more affectionately called Saphia, chase Axia around the herbs and hear her squeals of delight. If she ever thought about incorporating singing into her dances he would have a very hard time with the men. The occasional times he had heard her sing he thought angels were about, her voice was that incredible. She had the range of an alto and a soprano at the same time and her voice sounded like molten honey when she sang.He wished she would sing just for him, but she was so shy about her voice she would only do it when she was alone, or thought she was alone.
Callie meanwhile was watching all of this and wondered herself why her sisters were here. She was only 10 when they were born but she remembered the fuss that was made and realized that she would always be an outsider. She knew her sisters didn't treat her as one, but just the same she was. Because she didn't have a twin as well. Having two sets of twins in a home was hard, even though Axia and Misty were not there, Drake talked about them every day. When she saw them again at 10 just as the twins were being born, it was like a family again, as Mistress and Axia came home and Axia had brought Aldo with her. Even then she could see how much Axia loved him. It was one of the reasons she gave her the scarf. To help her lure him to her bed. Even she didn't think it would take that long even though compared to Callie, they were flat as a board. It wasn't until 3 years later that the twins finally and fully matured but Aldo still didn't see her, but she could tell he loved being with her family. So Callie made sure that Aldo was always welcome as she knew what it was like being an outsider.
She walked over to Aldo as he was still snivelling because of the allergic reaction to her wings and sat down beside him. "Quite a family we have huh?" Callie said to him
"Yeah you guys do." Aldo said
"You do know you are part of this family. You always have been you silly man." Callie said as she got up and went in search of her rogues
OoO
Mistress awoke from her slumber and saw Bizi sleeping beside her. She leaned over and kissed him softly on his lips. He stirred slightly but did not awaken. She then leaned back to her side of the bed and stood up and decided to shower. She removed her clothing and then realized the entire room was white. She undid her hair and then twirled around enjoying the room. Careful not to awake Bizi she entered the shower.
"My chosen how was your sleep?" the glove asked of her
"OMG YOU CAN TALK!" Mistress shouted within her mind.
"Yes I can. I also had a discussion with Bizi as well after your trial. He will need to talk to you in private." the glove told her
"So, uh...what is your name" Mistress thought to him as she was shampooing her hair.
"What would you like it to be? You have excellent taste so I trust your judgement." it said
"Lachlan. I would like to call you Lachlan" Mistress said as she finished rinsing out her hair and began conditioning it.
"Very Scottish name, and I love the meaning of it…Scottish Viking. Very well you may call me Lachlan. I will say something though. This is the first time in my history that the chosen has been a female. It's very refreshing and I am delighted by it. By the way, you are a lovely chosen. Bizi is a very lucky man." Lachlan said. Mistress blushed straight to her roots and began to cover herself in shame. "Mistress please do not do that. I am a glove not a man. You have no reason to be ashamed. Your body is glorious but I have no way to touch you so please finish your shower and I will leave you in peace." Lachlan said
Mistress was still a little perturbed by Lachlan's words and he could sense that so it decided to wake Bizi up. "BIZI GET UP" it yelled in Bizi's mind
"WAHHHHH" Bizi said as he woke straight up from his deep sleep.
"My chosen is in the shower. Go join her." Lachlan said to him
"Poporings you are direct!" Bizi swore as he got out of bed and wandered to the shower. He poked his head in and asked Mistress "Want some company?"
"Bizi! I...Uh...sure..." Mistress said still flustered by Lachlan's advances.
"Thank you kindly" he said and stepped into the shower, just as Mistress was finishing conditioning her long hair.
"So is this how you get it so silky?" Bizi said as he helped her rinse it out.
"Yes it is, its how most females do, uh, dear." Mistress said struggling with words. Bizi still made her nervous even though she was not a virgin anymore.
"Mist what is wrong? Are you okay acushla?" Bizi said as he turned her around to face him.
"I'm sorry I guess I am still getting used to you in this way." Mistress said as she started to softly cry.
"Acushla, I love you, and if you are still nervous around me, then we will go very slow until you are not nervous. But I am not letting you go. Ever again." Bizi said as he wrapped his arms around her and held her to his naked body.
"But...its not fair to you" Mistress said still crying a bit.
"How is it not fair? I am in love with a beautiful monk that can kick my ass? And I get to see her naked!" Bizi said lightly hoping she would laugh
Mistress started giggling at that and Bizi leaned over and ended the shower. "Now I am all yours. Do what you want with me so that you are not nervous around me." he said as he stood before her
Mistress got a little shy again as she wrapped a towel around herself. Bizi took pity on her and covered himself as well so that she would feel better. He wanted her all relaxed when she freaked out that they were going to have a child. He had been noticing that Axia was far more subdued in the last day or so, so he had no idea what was going to happen when she found out. He watched as Mistress began to dry her hair a bit so that it could air dry as this was how she always had her hair.
He then led her to the bedroom and covered Lachlan with a towel. Even though it could still sense everything, he didn't need another male in the room. Even if it was a glove. Then he sat down on the bed and allowed her to push him down onto the bed. "I am all yours. Do with me what you want Mist." Bizi said.
Mistress thought about it for a minute and then went back into the washroom and returned with some bath oil. "Oh really...Well I am game for that" Bizi said as he turned over and with the towel covering himself stretched out and allowed her full access to his back.
Mistress watched him move with the fluidity that she didn't think possible for a man of his size, but he did so, and she was in awe. Then she moved over to the bed and looked longfully at his back. The muscles were very defined and she was itching to touch him. She then poured a generous amount into her hands and positioned herself astride him and began to touch him with her oil-slicked hands. Slowly, she started with small circles and the base of his back and slowly started moving upward. She stared at the different muscles on his back as she added more oil to her hands and began to use her body as well as her hands in massaging his body. As Mistress was getting very familiar with the feel of his body she noticed a tightening between her thighs. Bizi noticed it too as he could feel how wet she was becoming. He tried not to groan when he felt that she had removed her towel and allowed her hair and her naked body to tease him.
Mistress in the meantime did not realize she was teasing him, but wanted to know how it would feel with her breasts and her hair along his body. Slowly with her hands starting and his back, she slowly moved up his back and allowed her nipples to touch him and glided up to his neck where she stretched out onto him so that her entire top was on his back. She then leaned down began to nip at his neck so she could feel what that felt like. Bizi was struggling very hard not to turn over, but when she did that he groaned out loud in pleasure. she whispered in his ear "Do you like that Bizi" she said innocently.
"Turn me over and you will see acushla" he said in response. She then moved herself off of him slowly and allowed him to turn over. She then saw how hard he was. "Oh My!" was all she said. "Mist, feel free to use oil on my chest. I don't mind" Bizi said knowing he was going to pay a price for this.
Mistress then sat astride of him again, but higher so that she was not against him. He then pushed her back slightly so that she was not inside him but allowing his hard erection into her back. He could feel her hot moistness but in order to stop himself from touching her any further, put his hands behind his head and allowed her to full explore the front of him without interference. Quivering from the sight of his large chest, Mistress poured the oil right onto him and watched him gasp at the cold oil. She then stretched out again and began to massage his chest. She was still naked and because of the stimulation that she had done with his back he was nearly twitching. Mistress stopped when she saw the look on his face as he was trying to restrain himself.
"Bizi, are you alright. Am I hurting you?" she said as she started to remove herself from her location.
"No please don't stop. This is about you and your comfort. Do not worry about me acushla" Bizi said struggling for words.
"Would you like to touch me Bizi? Would that help?" Mistress asked as she positioned herself back onto him.
"Poporing yes, but then that would end this rather short. I want you now and I don't want to end this for you. So think of this as your way of getting even with me." Bizi said pressing his hands harder into the pillow to keep himself from bringing her onto his erection and driving into her. 'She is going to make me go insane' he thought to himself.
She grinned at the thought of revenge and leaned over his chest and nipped at one of his nipples so that she could feel what it was like in her mouth. Because of the oil, it tasted like sweet almonds and the nipple itself was the most divine texture she had ever felt. Bizi groaned at her touch and pressed his head harder into his hands. 'She is going to kill me' he thought as she began to pinch the other nipple as she was sucking lightly on the nipple that she was focused on. She then switched nipples and lightly bit the one she had been teasing.
"You really were mad at me weren't you Mist" Bizi said through clenched teeth.
"What?" Mistress said and then realized what she had been doing and got off of him very quickly. "OMG Bizi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be hurting you" she said as she started to cry thinking that she had been hurting him.
"You are not hurting me, but you will slowly kill me if you do not get that pretty ass of yours back here." Bizi said as he slowly got up and pulled her back to him and placed her onto the bed and deeply kissed her.
He then positioned himself beside her so that he could start to touch her as he had been wanting to for the last hour. He knew she didn't realize that she was so ready for him that she herself was vibrating, but he knew and decided to use that to his advantage. He ended the kiss and nipped at her neck as she stretched to allow him access. Then with his hands he ran his hands along her back gently massaging her as he explored. When he reached the small of her back, he deeply massaged her buttocks and then pulled her on top of him and entered her. He was ready to explode she had him so ready, but he was going to be damned before he did that to her. So he guided her slowly to a rhythm that he could control himself with. Very quickly she came and he prolonged it by leaning up and gently sucking on her nipple. Then moved very quickly again to make her come again. He was on the edge again so he slowed down and turned her onto her back. Then he brought her legs up to his shoulders and drove into her again, making her come for the third time. He then slowed his pace again as he leaned down and deeply kissed her. By now Mistress was wild in the sensations that he had been creating. He slowly built up the pressure that he was creating so that when he made her come again, she would not expect it. For about 10 minutes he kept this pace going, until his back was bleeding because she was shredding it with her nails. He whispered in her ear "I am going to clip those nails of yours acushla" and drove into her hard and fast. She came again and again because of the sensations that he had been building for her. He then allowed himself to feel her and with that her orgasms crashing over and over again onto him, he came with her on the last one that drove her to sleep.
He untangled himself from her and tucked her into the bed so she could nap a bit, and went into the washroom to clean himself and get a towel to clean her as well. Within his mind he heard 'Took you long enough. But you forgot to tell her' Lachlan said to him as Bizi returned with a washcloth to clean her. With that done, he went into the bathroom to assess the damage that Mistress had done to his back. It looked like a bunch of Wild Roses had a field day on his back. Groaning, he started a shower again to clean some of this up before she woke up. The last thing she needed to see was the damage to his back. If she saw it she might never touch him again. Wincing at the pain the heat of the shower was causing, he flexed his back so that it could ease the pain a bit. 'Here let me' Lachlan said and enveloped him into a golden light and healed the marks that Mistress left on his back. 'You are a very lucky man Bizi' Lachlan said
OoO
Mistress awoke a little later to see Bizi staring at her. She opened her eyes and looked him. She could tell that something was the matter, but she was unsure of what. "What is wrong Bizi?" she asked. "I have something to tell you, and I am not all that sure if you are going to like it." Bizi said bracing himself for what he was about to tell her.
"Misty, the glove told me something that is, well, a bit earth shattering. At least it was to me." Bizi started, not sure of how he was going to tell her.
"What's wrong Bizi? I am not dying, am I?" Mistress said very concerned now as she could see that he was struggling with something
"He knocked you up My Chosen" Lachlan responded
"WHAT!" Mistress shouted and stared at Bizi, who was sheepishly hanging his head
"Lachlan am I really pregnant?" Mistress asked the glove
"Is that what you named it?" Bizi said
"Not another word out of you." Mistress said and she turned to the glove and asked "Lachlan is it true?"
"Yes my chosen. I think Axis knew that if Bizi touched you last night, you would be made pregnant. Axis has a very perverted sense of humour. Of course Bizi is just as much to blame...sneaking into your room...tsk tsk" Lachlan said, hoping to get Bizi into trouble.
"Lachlan, I do not blame Bizi. I cherish the memory and I will until the day I die." Mistress said as she closed her eyes and placed her hands across her stomach. Then she remembered the torture that Lachlan placed her under and her eyes flew open and was about to ask about the state of the child, but Lachlan was prepared
"No I did not damage the child. Your womb was protected the instant I detected that you were now carrying a child. At least I think I did not. It is too early to tell, as it does not even have a conscious mind as of yet. I will not know until he is aware, and that will be a few more weeks away." Lachlan said as he levitated to her lap. "Now chosen, if you are finished with your Viking, we need to train. There are things about me you have to understand if you are going to be able to protect the children. Remember that it is not just your child that you have to protect. Axia and Aldo's children are far more important as they are tied to Axis. They are auto wielders, and since Axia is carrying a son, it is far more important. No man has ever wielded Axis, but Axia's son will be able to as her son and chosen of the whip. Just as you are the first ever female to wield me, your son will be my wielder when it is his time. Bizi as well can wield me if ever needed as his vocation will allow it. This is why your men have been going through trials. Because of you being our chosen's, they have to be tested to make sure that they are worthy of us as well. Just as you cannot wield Axis, Axia cannot wield me. Yet you both are two halves of the same whole. And your children through each other will be wielders. I hope I have explained things a bit. You do not need to tell all of this to Bizi though. It is your choice if you do." Lachlan finished his monologue within Mistress's mind.
"Maybe later, right now I want to learn all about what I can do with you." Mistress said as she placed Lachlan onto her right hand and walked out the door
"Mist where are you going?" Bizi said as he followed her downstairs and through the front door. He then saw her sisters by the herb garden. The Tengs had a meadow full of red, yellow, blue, white and shining herb plants and Tatiana was having a field day with them. Mistress was heading out to the field with the 3 sisters, so decided to sit with Aldo and watch to see what they were going to be doing.
"So...how are you taking the news of being a father?" Bizi asked Aldo.
"Serenely. Why are you asking?" Aldo said, puzzled as to why he would be asking.
"Uh...well...apparently..." Bizi started to say, not sure of how to say it
"You didn't?" Aldo said not sure if he was guessing correctly
"Yeah..apparrently so. I am going to have a son." Bizi said finally.
"You don't believe in slowing down do you?" Aldo said chuckling "Isn't it strange that we both knock up the twins first time around." Aldo said laughing a bit more
"You would think it strange...but yeah. So any word on what to do now. Lachlan, and that's what she called the glove, isn't talking to me, other to order me around. I swear if it was a living person, I would have punched him out. He flirts with her!" Bizi said as he folded his arms and sat deeply into the chair.
"At least you don't get a female whip with an acerbic sense of humour" Aldo said.
"I'll take the sense of humour over an inanimate object that wants to have sex with her" Bizi said
"Hehehe. Be careful what you wish for. Nothing of what I remember from my childhood makes any sense right now, so who knows what might happen." Aldo said.
"Well who are those girls down there with Axia and Misty?" Bizi asked
"You never met them? Those are Axia and Misty's youngest sisters, Tatiana and Saphia. We call them Tati and Saphia. Saphia is the blacksmith…the one that is currently chasing the alchemist." Aldo said as he saw Saphia with her favourite Battle Axe up in the air waving it around and chasing her older sisters.
OoO
"Saphi, I'm tired...stop chasing me" Tati said to her younger sister.
"Alright" Saphia said and plopped down onto the meadow grass. "So did you see Isa?" she said with a grin
"No" Tati said pouting.
"I honestly do not know why you continue to chase him. It is rather obvious that he does not want anything to do with you. Personally I think it's because of the way you act. You are far too forward with that guy. Plus he is four years older then you!" Saphia said as she was counting how many ores she had in her cart.
"I don't care. Ever since I first met him, I have been in love with him. I will not stop until he is my husband!" Tati declared
"If you think Drake will approve of that, you have another thing coming" Callista said as she stood over her sisters.
"Callie! We didn't see you there" Saphi said as she stood up rather fast and teetered a bit
"Have you two been drinking again?" Callista said to them with her hands on her hips glaring at them
"No Ma'am" Tati said with her hair covering her face.
"I see. Well Tatiana, I highly doubt that Drake would even approve of you marrying at your young age. So get any thoughts you had of marrying your man." Callista said as she saw a shining plant that had just sprouted up
As they were talking they saw Mistress come out with her hood up. She then spied the sisters and walked over to them, with Bizi right behind her. They saw him stop by Aldo, and then he sat down and Mistress approached them with her arms outstretched. At first they didn't recognize her but as she got closer, they saw their sister and ran to her arms.
"Hi girls" Mistress said as she enveloped them into her arms.
"Misty, you look so different" Tati said
"Misty, you look hot!" Saphia said
Giggling, Mistress sat down with the girls around her and took off Lachlan. "Thank you both, and allow me to introduce you to Lachlan" Mistress said as she displayed the glove.
"Huh?" they both said, just as Lachlan began to hover above and within their minds they heard "Hello children"
"Oh wow" Tati said out loud
"Cool, he has a sexy voice" Saphia said as she started poking at the glove.
"Please stop poking me Saphia" Lachlan answered
"Yes sir" she said and demurely placed her hands under her butt
"So my chosen, shall we get started with your training?" Lachlan said
"Yes we shall" Mistress said and she got up and placed Lachlan again onto her right hand, which she then brought level to her forehead and concentrated. She then summoned the spheres of light to surround her and then with her left hand cast them into the heavens.
They then came back down and looked like they were going to fall onto the girls, until Mistress extended her hand with Lachlan, and stopped them. She then made them hover over the girls and then manipulated them into chasing the girls. Giggling the girls started running with the spheres chasing them. "Lachlan, this is so easy. Is this part of you or me?" Mistress said to him
"It is both. Without the change that Axis did for you, you would not be able to do this as easily as you are. Somehow I don't think you will need any training. You are a natural at this, and seem to know what to do. There is another reason for you coming over to the girls." Lachlan said to her
"Oh, what?" Mistress said as she stopped the spheres and motioned the girls over to her
"Girls, are you up for a task?" Lachlan said to the girls
"Of course Lachlan?" The girls said simultaneously
"Go get your gear together alright. And Tati. Contact that Isagani boy of yours. We are all going to Aldebaren."
"Why do you want Isa?" Tati said as her mini glasses started to fall off again. She pushed them back up just as Lachlan answered "You will see little one."
