A/N: Well, we did it guys! And we I mean me since I'm the one writing this, but you're helping too, kinda. I reached the first milestone of the series I made it to Chapter 5 and I haven't felt like giving up. I it's probably obnoxious for me to put an author's note at the beginning of each chapter. But, I wanted to give my insight into the chapter.
For instance, wanted to show that holding to old ideals can be destructive for not only yourself but the people around. Like, I think about tribes still in the Amazon or on islands who are cut off from the rest of society. I can't imagine where they be or if ththey'll still exists in the future. I don't know maybe that's me.
Chapter 5
My name is William Pendergast and I work for the Order. I know what you'll ask, 'aren't they the super strict religious group that was hell bent on killing monsters?' yes, but that was the old Order.
The new Order was formed to help monster. We offer citizenship and marriage certificate to Mamonos both foreign and domestic. We put Mamonos through special training courses, and offer special relief aid to disenfranchised Mamonos which is what I was doing. So in essence the Order has become less of a religious group and more of a part of the government system.
We were a small team of five (myself included). There was Daniels, Martinez, McNally, and Captain Evans. Daniels was laid-back kind of guy, he didn't seem bothered by much or anything really. Then there was Martinez, he was something of a jokester of our group and a self-described ladies man. McNally was a quiet almost nervous guy, I swear he was so paranoid he'd jump at his own shadow. Last, but not least Capt. Evans.
Capt. Evans was glue that held together. As captain, it was brave, strong, and fearless. He's a man I inspire to be. We all had our reasons for being here. Daniels wanted a change of scenery from the office, McNally said he was here because his therapist told to interact with other people, Martinez said he wanted the chance to see some "fresh game" which I think ment women, and Capt. Evans loved the sense of adventure.
I myself also shared Capt. Evans ambition, the to explore the world and interact with other cultures. We were in a rainforest, seeking out a tribe of Amazons. Our was to help integrate them into modern society. "Have do think that these Amazons have like clothes or some shit? Or did think they run around fully nude?" Martinez asked. "Only you would ask that Martinez." Captain Evans said. "I only asking Cap, I'd integrate them to society real good." Martinez said grabbing onto his crotch. "Did anyone tell you how gross you are?" I ask him.
"Guys, shouldn't we be concerned with wild animals?" McNally asked. "Relax McNally, everything's fine." Daniels said. "It's just we didn't bring any weapons. What we run into a large snake or a venomous spider?" McNally asked. "McNally, we are on a peaceful mission. Being arm would only be seen as an acted of aggression." I explained. "Still..." he murmured. "Whatever happens, just let me do the talking you're all my responsibility." Capt. Evans said. "And if worst comes to worst we can use Martinez as a human shield." Daniels susuggested. "Hey, fuck you." Martinez said.
We laughed save for Martinez. "Ow!" I hissed as felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck and stopped in my tracks. The pain felt to large to be a bug. I reached behind my neck and pull out something. It was a dart; small, with a sharp pointed tip, and a purple feathery end. My head felt dizzy and my vision blurred. "Pendergast, you okay?" Capt. Evans asked, his voice becoming wrapped.
"Sir...somethings...wron..." I collapsed to the ground. Before I blacked out, I saw my team getting hit by darts and collapsed to ground. I blurry brown figures and then blackness. When I came too, I was staring at the roof of a bamboo cage. The first person to greet my view was Daniels. "Will, you're awake. Boss, Will's awake." he said. I slowly lifted myself up and immediately my throat felt dry. "Pendergast, thank god you're up. Here take this." Capt. Evans said holding a wooden cup to my lips. I took and let the contents of the cup slide down my throat.
"Thanks sir, what happened?" I asked. "The Amazons must have been hunting us." he said. "How long was I out for?" I asked noticing how dark it had gotten. "A few hours, Martinez was the last one to awaken before you." he said. My eyes began to readjust and I was shirtless. In fact, all five of us were shirtless and each of us had a strange rune tattooed on either the left or right side of our chests.
I looked out of the cage; we were sitting in the middle of a village. Most of the huts were dark save for a few that had some torches lit. The only structure that was the most well lit was some sorta longhouse that was ahead of us. I turned back and looked at my team. Daniels composed as did Capt. Evans, Martinez was leaning against the wall of the cell looking at the longhouse, and McNally was right near him huddled in the corner.
"Captain, what're these runes?" I asked. "I don't know, I saw them the minute I woke." he said. "What's going to happen to us? Are they going to eat us? Oh god, I don't want to die!" McNally said rocking back and forth. "McNally, calm down!" Captain Evans shouted. A woman came out of the longhouse and towards us. "Let me do the talking, and do as they say." Capt. Evans said.
She unlocked the door and stepped inside. She had light brown skin, grey eyes, long white hair with a braid going down the left side with feathers at the end of it. She also had the same rune on her body as Capt. Evans, except that it was all over her body. "You, come with me." she demanded pointing at the captain. "I'm Captain Peter Evans, who are you and where are you taking me?" he asked. "I'm Astra, I'm taking you to the tribe chieftain." she answered. "What about my men?" he asked. "They shall remain here." she said. "Will they be unharmed?" he asked. "As long as cooperate, than yes." she said.
Capt. Evans walked of the cell and the door closed behind. "Captain! Don't go!" McNally pleaded. "Don't worry boys, do as they. I'll talk to their chief and see if we can't sort this out." Capt. Evans said and walked off to the longhouse. After some time passed, Capt. Evans didn't return. "Where is he, why hasn't he returned?" McNally asked. "He's probably in the middle of the greatest orgy ever." Martinez said. "Shut the fuck up Martinez, McNally is on the verge of a nervous breakdown!" Daniels said.
A woman emerged from the longhouse again, this time it was a different Amazoness. She had long brown hair and had the same runes as Daniels. "You, tall one! Come with me." she said opening the door and pointing at Daniels. He took a step forward, but McNally grabbed his leg. "Daniels, do go! What if you don't come back like the captain?" he said. "McNally, relax. I'll go find out what's happening. And I'll be right out." Daniels said. "That's what the captain said and he didn't come back." McNally said. I pry McNally off Daniels and went off with the Amazoness.
"Lucky son of a bitch. You see that?" Martinez asked. "See what?" I asked. "Those two hotties had the same tattoo that the captain and Daniels' had." he said. "I surprised you were staring at something other than tits." I muttered. "You think we got Amazons?" he asked. "It's possible." I said. "Man, I hope mine has some big ass tittes. I wannt double D...no, F cups." he said.
Another Amazoness came out of the longhouse. She had red hair, the right side of her head shaved while the rest of her hair was tied into a large braid running down the left side. As she got closer I could tell she had the same runes as Martinez. "No F cups, but they'll do." Martinez said. "You!" she said opening the door and pointing at Martinez. "Sure baby, so is the part where you take me to the orgy?" he asked. She rammed her fist into his stomach causing him to collapse on the ground. "By Ares, why'd I get the weak one." she said grabbing him up and dragging him to the longhouse.
"Wait! Where are you taking him? What's go on?" I asked. "You'll know soon." she said and continued to the longhouse. Some more time passes and McNally was on the frail end of sanity. "Oh god, they're dead! They're fucking dead! And I'm next!" McNally shouted. "We don't know that McNally!" I said.
Another Amazoness came out of the longhouse. This one hand blonde hair and had tied into long twin ponytails. Her runes matched the one on McNally. "No, please don't take me! I don't want to die! I want to go home!" he said sobbing heavily. The Amazoness didn't say anything; she opened the door and walked towards him, causing him to cower. She still hadn't said anything and crouched down to meet him. "It's okay, I won't hurt you." she said holding her hand out.
The way she spoke to him was softer and gentler. As if she was a mother taking care of a child. McNally looked at her and she gave him a soft reassuring smile. McNally cautiously took hand and lead him towards the longhouse. "Be strong McNally, I'll get us out of here!" I called out to him. He turned with a teary look in his eyes and entered the longhouse.
I sighed heavily and sat against the wall, waiting for my turn. Some time passed, felt longer than usual. A another Amazoness came out of the longhouse. She had short black hair and runes that matched mine. "I suppose it's my turn?" I asked getting up. "Yes, come with me." she said. "I have a few questions." I said. "Make them quick." she said. "Where is my group? The men I was brought in with." I said. "They're alive and unharmed, for the most part." she answered. "What're these runes?" I asked. "You'll find out soon, now come. You are wasting time." she said. "What's your problem?" I asked. "The chieftain thinks that we need the help of men." she said, I could hear the venom in her voice. "You don't agree?" I asked. "Men are stupid, greedy, and weak. If it were up to me, we'd rape on display like the old days." she said. Thank god it wasn't up to her.
We entered the longhouse, a group of Amazons were in there. One of them sat on a throne, must have been their chieftain. "I am Silva, leader of this tribe. Do you know why you are here?" she asked. "I am...unsure." I said. "Kara has taken you. And by her right as a huntress, she will undergo the joining ritual." she explained. "Joining ritual?" I asked. "The women of our tribe who ask to be involved with the joining ritual must first capture a man, mark him, and undergo the joining with him. Think of it as our equivalent to your weddings." Silva explained.
"Would've been nice if she gave me a ring first." I said. "Are you mocking our traditions!?" Kara asked angrily. "No, it's just...in my society we don't drug potential mates...most of the time." I said. "What strange customs you have." Silva commented. "Where are the other men I was with?" I asked. "Alive." Silva answered. "All of them?" I asked. "Yes, at the moment," she answered. "Let me ask you something, why did you and these men enter our territory?" she asked.
"We wanted to make contact with you. Help you integrate with our society." I answered. "What makes you think we want this?" she asked. "The world is changing ma'am and it's foolish to hold onto old ideals." I said. "You know nothing of our ways!" Kara snapped. "Kara! Enough!" Silva barked. "You must forgive her, she's young. While it is true what you say, we can not forego some of traditions. But, as leader of this tribe it is my duty to protect it. If working with outsiders means our tribe's survival then we must learn to be more flexible." Silva said.
"I know it must be hard for you to accept change. The people I work for also had to change with the changing times." I said. "What is your name?" Silva asked. "William Pendergast, ma'am." I said. "William, you speak like the other male. The one called Evans. And much like him you will make a fine husband." she said. "Thank you ma'am." I said.
"But enough talk. The joining shall commence." Silva said. "Remove your clothes." Kara instructed. "Why?" I asked. "For the joining, the huntress and her mate must be joined not just spiritual, but physical through the most basic method, sex." Silva explained. "And if I refused?" I asked. "Then you shall be executed." Kara answered. Seemed I had little choice and if the others were alive I could assume that they also went through the joining.
Not wasting anymore time, I unlaced my boots and took off my pants and underwear. I looked over to Kara who had already discarded her clothes. She had a very nice figure. "Kara, you have entered the joining to seek a husband and have found one. Do you accept him as such?" Silva asked her. "As blasphemous as his words may be, he is my quarry and he has been marked. So yes, I accept him." Kara said. "One called William, Kara has taken you as her mate. Do you understand this?" Silva asked me. "Yes, I understand." I said.
"Then as chieftain of Amazons, I hereby declare you mates. Kara, you may advanced into womanhood with your mate." Silva said. I turned to Kara and she forced me to the ground. I guess we were skipping the foreplay. She straddled me, I felt the heat from her womanhood. The heat of her vagina caused me to become erect. She grabbed my manhood and rubbed it against the entrance of her vagina. It felt odd having other people watching me have sex.
Once she was satisfied with how wet she was, she plunged my member deep inside of her. Once I penetrated her, I moaned feeling the moist walls around my cock. She bounced her hips up and down, my moaning increased as she moved. She bent forward; her lips close to mine, her perky nipples rubbing against my chest, and I felt the sweat dripping off of her. I grabbed her and kissed her deeply. At first she looked at me with a mixture of surprise and angry, but didn't seem bothered by it much.
We parted lips and I grabbed her rear and she moved faster and faster. I reached my climax and was about to announce it, but came to fast and my seed went deep inside of her. She looked at me sweating and panting, she up and took a towel from one of the Amazons. Another gave me a towel and my clothes. "The joining is complete, thus creating a bound that shall not be severed until death. Kara, escort William to the lodge and wait there." Silva said after I had finished getting dressed.
Kara escorted me to the lodge which was a smaller buildings that was off to the side of the longhouse. Inside, I saw the rest of team alive. Capt. Evans was in conversation with his wife, Daniels was exchanging tender kisses with his wife, McNally was clinging to his wife and she cradled him, and as for Martinez he was passed out on the lap of his wife. "Will, you're alive. I see you passed your joining well." Capt. Evans said as Kara and I entered. "Yeah; it's good to see you alive too, sir." I said to him. "Good, Martinez barely survived his joining." he said. "Yeah, I was about to ask about that. How's McNally doing?" I asked. "I think this whole ordeal has shaken him. But, Essa; his wife says she'll do her best to heal him." he said.
I approached McNally and his wife. "Essa, is it? How's your husband doing?" I asked her. "Husband McNally is scared. But, Ares has delivered him to me." she said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "I wish to be a healer, before the hunt I asked Ares to find me a man who is wounded so I may heal him, and thus Ares has blessed me with husband McNally." she said stroking his head. "Well, his wound is a deep one. It may take time to heal it." I said. "I will do my best to comfort him. As I know he'll comfort me." she said and kissed his head.
I moved over to Martinez and his wife. "How's he doing?" I asked her. "Husband Martinez is weak, but I will make him stronger." she said. "Good luck with that, you may find him a challenge." I said. "Ora doesn't mind the challenge. I will conquer it as I have him." she said. "Hooray for me." Martinez said weakly. Silva entered the lodge. "Gentleman, I am sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused. I know this wasn't what you expected on your journey." she said.
"Quite alright. I would like to know what happens now. What'll happen to us?" Capt. Evans asked. "You may choose to remain here or return to where you came. Just note that by leaving you must take your wives with you," she answered. "But that can wait till tomorrow, your mates will escort you to their homes where you may rest."
We each went our separate ways after that. I followed Kara to her home; it was modest hovel, a cot, a small firepit, and a small wooden tub. She took her clothes off and laid down on the cot and glared at me. "Is something wrong?" I asked. "You did something before, what was it?" she asked. "I'm afraid I don't follow." I said. "You touched your lips to mine. What was that?" she asked. "Oh, that was a kiss!" I said. "What is a kiss?" she asked. "Do you not have kissing in your village?" I asked. "I have seen other women preform this 'kiss' on their mates. But did not know what it was called or why they did it." she said. "Well, where I come from men and women like to kiss while having sex." I explained sitting on the edge of her cot. "Why?" she asked. "Some people, consider sex an intimate and passionate act. When they are with their lover they like to show them affection in the form of kissing, embracing, and caressing." I said. She seemed confused.
"Isn't sex just for pleasure or making babies?" she asked. "Well, yes some do have sex for those reasons. But others like to do so to express love." I said. "Do...do like to do this?" she asked timidly. "Only if my lover wants me too." I said caressing her face. "I...I wish to try this method of sex." she said her cheeks turning red. I smile at her; I got up, took off my pants, and climbed in bed with her.
I gently kissed her, she was unsure of what to do but soon started kissing me back. "That's good, you're doing good." I said in between kisses. "Thank you." she said. I moved from her mouth and down to neck and planted kisses on her mocha colored skin. After that I moved once again to her breasts. I started sucking on her right nipple and rolled my thumb across her left. She softly moaned as I continued to suck. "I think I'll like this form of sex." she said. "Then you'll like this part even more." I said and moved to her vagina. I began licking both her slit and clit and in return she moaned louder. "Husband William, that's good! Keep doing that!" she cried.
I felt her juices flow heavily onto my tongue. The sweet taste made me yearn for her. I moved and positioned my member at the entrance of her womanhood. "Are you ready?" I asked. "Yes!" she cried. With that I penetrated her, she released a cry and panted a bit. I slowly pumped my hips into her, she moaned and grabbed onto my back. I gradually increased each thrust faster and faster. The faster I got the more she moaned. "Kara, I'm so close! Do you want inside or out?" I asked. "In! I want to feel your love inside of me!" she cried.
I kissed her deeply and allowed myself to cum inside of her. She twitched a little and I parted from her lips. "Now what?" she asked. "Now we cuddle. The lovers hold each other while they sleep to give a feeling of safety and comfort." I said. We wrapped our arms around one another and I laid my head against her chest. "Husband William? Will you return to your home?" she asked. "I don't know, what do you want?" I asked. "I will go where you go. We thought men like you were weak. I did anyway. Chief Silva is right, holding on to the old ways isn't good. But now, I wish to learn this thing you call love." she said. "I promise you, I'll teach you everything." I said. I kissed her and we drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, my team and I were gather in the lodge with a large spread of food. "Wow, this looks good." I said. "You thank Lalah for that." Daniels said. "As a cook for the tribe, my job is to prepare meals for them. But I am more than happy to serve my husband." Lalah said. "Baby, I told you. You don't need to serve me." Daniels said and kissed her.
"...And men do this women?" Essa asked with her hand intertwined with McNally's. "Oh yes...sometimes, not always." he said, his cheeks burning red. "I like this 'hand holding'. I want to do it with husband McNally everyday." Essa said. "Y-you don't have to call me that. You can call Fred." McNally said rubbing the back of neck. I can see that it take Essa long to help McNally.
"Eat husband, you need your strength for today is the beginning of your endurance training." Ora said to Martinez. "I already go to the gym. I don't need this shit!" he said and she smacked the back of his head. "Do not talk down to me! After last night I want you to last longer than a minute. How am I supposed to get pregnant if you won't train?" she asked. "Wait, pregnant!? Sir, is there sort of divorce we could do?" Martinez asked Capt. Evans. "Sorry Martinez, but the joining is binding. The only end to it is dead and I'm pretty sure she could take you if you try anything." Capt. Evans explained.
After breakfast we went to the longhouse to give our decision. "Welcome, gentleman. I trust you slept well." Silva said. "We have, thank you for your hospitality." Capt. Evans said. "Have you made your decision? I will not force you to stay, but I will not force you to leave either." she said. "I don't know about the rest of my men, but I'm staying." Capt. Evans said. "Captain, are you sure?" we asked collectively. "Boys, I've been doing this for a long time. Longer than I've known any of you. I wish to settle down, start a family. I was talking with Astra last night and we decided that I should and act as a lesion of sorts." he explained. "But sir, what about us?" I asked. "You'll be fine Will. I trust that you'll get them home." he said to me. "You're entrusting me with the squad?" I asked. "You're the best choice. McNally's a wreck under pressure, Daniels' wouldn't want the responsibility, and Martinez isn't leadership material." he said.
I thought for a moment; I looked at the squad, then back at Capt. Evans and nodded. "I'll do my best sir." I said. The rest of decided to head home. We got our gear back and gave our wives time to say their goodbyes. "You know I'm going to miss this place." Martinez said. "Really?" McNally asked. "Fuck no." Martinez answered. "Well sir, we ready?" Daniels asked. "Alright team, saddle up! We're heading home." I said. "Look you, in charge for a minute and you're saying things like 'saddle up'." Martinez said. "Martinez, shut up." McNally said.
Things changed after we got back, Daniels left the Order to help Lalah open a restaurant. McNally helped Essa by getting her a job working for a clinic. I also heard she was taking night classes so she could get into college and become a doctor. As for Martinez, he still hanging around. Thanks to him, Ora was teaching self-defense courses for women at his gym and she even gave them advice on mating and the best position to conceive children.
As for me, I still working for the Order. Leading expedition teams around the world, trying to inspire others like Capt. Evans. Kara also joined me, she still wanted me to show her the joys of love and I was more than happy to show her.
