Hello people, and welcome back to Goblin Slayer: The Team Year 2. I don't really have any comments on what's going on that hasn't or will not be addressed so...let's just get on with it...
Review Response: FYI, the elder dragon's personality is based on Paarthurnax's from Skyrim. I am a Skyrim fanboy somewhat, hence why I want to make a story for Skyrim after this, and why some elements from Skyrim were used here. As for the Cambion fight? I don't think backlash is likely; the Sword Maiden's case was MUCH more intense, and Priestess can only use Restoration once a day. I mean, she got away with it when she used it on Ranger that one time before he fought the Goblin Lord and kicked his ass.
Guild Girl spending time with Summoner was somewhat of a shoo-in considering what was stated by the two of them. As for Elder Revenant...well, you know how he spent some chapters going around and collecting armor pieces? Now you know why.
Cambion was morally gray since Day 1...
The team got back in the cart, Fighter opened a portal with the arm that wasn't torn off; she may have it back, but it still hurt. They then entered the portal, and put the cart back to where they found it, and Warrior untied it.
"Could that fight have been any more embarrassing?" Wizard asked.
"You mean the part where we got thoroughly spanked by the Cambion, or the fact that our one ace in the hole was almost pointless?" Her brother asked.
"Both..." Wizard groaned.
"No...it wasn't pointless...he said he had enough power to kill us without effort, even after being drained...he lied." Priestess said.
"You mean...I took more than I thought?" Wizard asked.
"Most likely. I kept an eye on his power, and I didn't realize it at the time since everything was too tense but...his power was cut almost in half. He'll need quite some time to recover, if he ever does." Fighter said.
"And in the meantime, we can train the parts of our asses he didn't kick off." Warrior said.
"Very funny..." Fighter said dryly before Dwarf Rifleman woke up.
"You alright?" H.E. Archer asked
"Other than the fact that I'm still waiting to get my legs back? I'm just fruity..." D.R said.
"We'll get you patched up in no time." H.E. Archer said with a small smile.
"Thanks...Your Highness." D.R. teased and got a pat on the chest from the elf.
"I hope Sir Ranger doesn't take this too badly. I can tell he stills holds all of you in his heart, and not just you Lady Fighter." Lizard Priest said.
"He'll be fine, at least in the end." Fighter said before D.R. exclaimed.
"What?" Warrior asked.
"I just thought of something...he had silver hair right?" D.R. asked.
"Yeah? So?" Fighter asked.
"He's the Cambion I mentioned before! Can't believe he came after us..." D.R. said.
"Well...next time, we'll be ready for him." Warrior said seriously.
"Damn straight..." Wizard's brother said as Lizard Priest carried D.R. into the fort with the team following him.
Cow Girl meanwhile was slicing down the blob dummies again, and tried using the frost enchantment on the axe to make a secondary axe head over the metal one to temporarily increase it's size...but also it's weight. "A real warrior isn't worried about the weight" as one recruit she overheard said, but she wasn't that strong, at least not yet. She then tried throwing her frozen axe, and it barreled into one of the dummies...but left her wide open for an attack, as Ranger demonstrated when he grabbed her from behind, and try as she might, she couldn't get free.
"Let me go! This isn't funny!" Cow Girl exclaimed.
"It isn't supposed to be. You lose your balance at the wrong time, this happens...if you're lucky." Ranger said simply as she kept struggling.
"This is training, not the real thing!" Cow Girl said seriously.
"Lucky you." Ranger said.
"Let go of me dammit!" Cow Girl yelled.
"There is a way you can get out, and you know what it is." Ranger said as Cow Girl stopped moving.
"But...I don't want to hurt you..." She said softly.
"I can handle it, and so can you." Ranger said as he tightened his hold...then she jammed the point of her elbow into his side, then tripped him...before looking at him doubling over in pain with her eyes widened.
"I...I can't believe..." Cow Girl trailed off as she knelt over him, then he sat up with her and held her face as tears fell down her cheeks.
"Congratulations...you took another step. If you can hurt someone close to you, detaching yourself from a foe's misfortune is that much easier." Ranger said.
"But...I can handle killing goblins." Cow Girl said while sniffling.
"Not all your enemies can, and will be goblins. You may fight other people some day. People who are debatably worse than goblins. People who will not only not care for your suffering...but will actually seek it, enjoy it...thrive on it. You must be ready for that." Ranger said seriously as Cow Girl hugged him, and after a second to think, he returned it. "I'm sorry you've been through so much..."
"I'll be o.k. I can handle my uncle dying, I can handle being nearly played with by goblins, I can handle this..." Cow Girl said.
"You're such a brave girl...Goblin Slayer really is a lucky man." Ranger said softly and Cow girl smiled before backing up and drying her tears, then Ranger kissed her forehead as she calmed down.
"And Fighter is a lucky woman... Like the Sword Maiden said: love isn't always romantic, so...by that logic-" Ranger cuts her off.
"Stop...you're right, love isn't always romantic, and by default...we can't be involved like that. You have Goblin Slayer, I have Fighter, and they need us more than we need each other, even if they didn't do more for us than we did for each other. All that said...I do love you." Ranger said seriously.
"Let me do that sword-lifting exercise again..." Cow Girl said as Ranger morphed one and set it aside. Cow Girl than got up, grabbed the handle, took a moment to ease up, remembered what Ranger said before preparation, and how things went wrong the first time. She then imagined herself wielding it and even smashing stuff with it, then pulled as hard as she could...and it went straight up, as Ranger's eyes widened.
"You did it!" Ranger exclaimed as Cow Girl kept staring at the massive sword she lifted with intense focus. She then lowered it, and thrusted forward imagining herself piercing the chest of a hob she saw at the farm a year ago.
"I have half a mind to ask you to let me keep this..." Cow Girl said without any emotion in her voice.
"I can give you something like it." Ranger said as Cow Girl put the sword down.
"Smith me something..." Cow Girl said seriously.
"Smith..." Ranger whispered as a sword shaped like the one she lifted, with the leaf-shaped blade, hooked guard, and everything, only...it's just large enough to fit on her back with room to spare.
"Let me guess: this sword is just too big for small spaces?" Cow Girl asked while remembering GS saying the same thing.
"You're not wrong." Ranger said as he picked up his greatsword. "You know this sword's shaped the way it is for a reason?"
"Yes. The leaf shape makes the tip wider and as such, stabs deeper into the target, and the thickness in the middle adds force to the chop, and the thinner edges makes the slice more smooth." Cow Girl said.
"Even without the size, these blades can go through pretty much anything. Who knows, I might give one to Goblin Slayer." Ranger said as the walked out...and saw Rhea Fighter...talking to Fighter and giving her back her baby.
"They're back..." Cow Girl whispered as Ranger approached them...and got a small smile from Fighter.
"Welcome back everyone..." Ranger said before noticing their sours moods...and Lizard Priest holding D.R.
"Hey hey, great to be back, now can we please get my bony ass to a bed so my spine can be repaired?" He asked as Lizard Priest kept going.
"What? What happened?!" Ranger asked and Priestess' face fell.
"Sir...we were attacked by the Cambion; he left them each alive enough for me to heal them, but pierced his spine with one of his own bullets." She said as Ranger simply stood there.
"What...?" He asked dryly.
"The good news is that the dwarf's intel was solid, the bad news is that the Cambion was still tough enough to take what we had to throw at him, and...he wasn't pulling any punches either." Wizard's brother said as Ranger sat down and held his head.
"Now...to be fair, we didn't use every trick we had up our sleeves, like the World Spawn, any empowerment miracles, or even that chakra-opening shtick. But we'll get him next time." Warrior said as Ranger banged the table with his fists.
"I cannot believe this..." He whispered harshly before his baby started crying as he looked at her horrified as Fighter rocked and shushed her, before giving her to him. "I'm sorry daughter..." The baby stopped crying a few seconds later and Ranger dried her tears and caressed her cheeks with the back of his index finger. "What did the dragon teach you...?"
"How to steal people's strength from them. I actually cut his strength almost in half with one move, but there's a catch...it's a pain in the ass to pull off, and I just now learned it." Wizard said before Ranger gave the baby to Rhea Fighter who was thinking.
"So what to we do now?" Rhea Fighter asked before Ranger clutched his fists.
"We get back into training..." He said before looking right at his teammates.
"Boss..." Warrior breathed out.
"He could have killed all of you! If I'm right he did that to try to demoralize us...but all he did was cut his own throat..." Ranger said seriously.
"But...what can we do that we haven't done already, other than all of us opening our chakras, which may or may not even be possible." Wizard's brother said while she herself took a moment to think.
"Nothing is impossible with alchemy right?" Ranger asked.
"I suppose, but I'm flat out of ideas." Wizard said.
"Well...I'm not." Ranger said as he morphed his left gauntlet...and superheated it which made the team widened their eyes.
"When did you learn to do that?" Fighter asked.
"Just now, although I don't know what it does..." Ranger said as Dwarf Shaman showed up.
"Well do it outside good Ranger. I spent most of today fixing this place up, and I am in no mood to do it again." He said firmly.
"Right...but, for now, we've all done our fair share of things, and we can catch up later. Let's just get some well-earned rest..." Ranger said.
"I can look after your daughter if you'd like?" Rhea Fighter asked.
"Maybe later, but I want some time with her now...and my husband too." Fighter said softly as she took her daughter back from her, and joined Ranger in their room as the team went to their own, with Priestess and H.E. Archer going to perform Resurrection on D.R.
When they got to their room, Fighter and Ranger de-morphed their armor, Fighter breastfed her daughter while Ranger laid down and watched his two favorite females interact.
"You know...we stopped at a hot spring on he way to the dragon?" Fighter asked.
"Did you? How did it go?" Ranger asked.
"Well...I paired up with Priestess...and boy was it tense. She was torn up about quite a few things, from Sword Maiden's scars, to what happened to my heart. I ever tell you I love that girl to pieces?" Fighter asked.
"I can imagine; you're no stranger to sibling relationships without blood ties." Ranger said seriously which made Fighter chuckle.
"No...I guess not." She said as her baby stopped sucking her nipple. Fighter then brought her daughter up to her head-level, and her baby touched her face.
"Hello..." The baby said.
"Hello sweetie..." Fighter said softly before kissing her forehead.
"You know...we haven't shown her to your father's ghost at the Ether Gazer?" Ranger asked and Fighter immediately deflated, stood up, gave their baby to her father and opened a portal to the Ether Gazer, before looking at it...
"Let's go..." Fighter whispered before heading through the portal with her family following, and when they reached the Ether Gazer...Fighter took their baby, walked towards the Ether Gazer and waited. "Get ready to meet your grandfather daughter..." Eventually...the image a black-hair man with a short ponytail, a white shirt, and black pants appeared and looked Fighter over. "Hello father..."
"Daughter...? I barely recognized you..." Her father said before looking at the baby she was holding.
"Your grandchild father...the one thing I value more than your teachings." Fighter said softly with her voice trembling as her father looked the sleeping child over.
"She's as lovely as you were, when you were a baby..." Fighter's dad said softly before looking Fighter herself over. "You're Gold Rank now...and you have new armor!"
"Yes, and both are thanks to my husband..." Fighter said as she looked at Ranger who was keeping a respectable distance.
"I see...so this is who you married." Fighter's father said as Ranger approached.
"I am indeed master, and I've never been luckier before, or since I married your daughter." Ranger said seriously as Fighter's dad looked him over.
"You're Platinum Ranked? There's only been a handful in history..." He said in awe.
"I also serve the War God; I even used his power to kill the vampire queen, destroy her castle, and the others who aided us took her possessions. But we both aided people in more ways than I can count before and after that." Ranger said.
"We even had the Sword Maiden bless our marriage." Fighter said.
"I remember..." Her dad said before touching his daughter's face. "I heard every word you said at my grace. I'm sorry I couldn't be there to watch you grow my dear..."
"Don't be, thanks to Ranger...I've never been happier." Fighter said before giving her baby to Ranger and hugging her father's ghost. "And now we're together again..."
"Daughter..." Her father whispered as Fighter wept into his chest as Ranger watched them, and glanced at their little girl. Eventually, Fighter pulled back, dried her eyes and smiled at her father. "And you Ranger...may I ask just how much she means to you?"
"Everything..." Ranger whispered tensely, which stunned both of them. "I don't like to relive this but...after our first quest, I discovered how vile the goblins were, when I discovered that they violated a group of girls to the point where they were mentally broken beyond repair...I slaughtered them to end their misery...but ever since, I've done nothing but try to make up for it." He then took a moment to compose himself as Fighter touched his face, Ranger leaned into her touch, then gave the baby back to her. "That nightmare is probably going to haunt me for the rest of my life, but...if there's any silver lining, it's that I know what we're fighting."
"It gets better love...we found a nest of goblins and Wizard was able to restore their broken minds and Priestess even restored their virginities, along with everything else." Fighter said seriously and Ranger's eyes widened.
"What? That...that's the most incredible news I've ever heard..." He said in complete awe as his eyes wandered around, and eventually he sat down on the floor. "I need to speak with them..."
"May we have a moment with them father?" Fighter asked.
"Of course... wait here." Her father said as he vanished, and a few seconds later...five girls showed up and Ranger had a flashback to when he stabbed them all through their brains and cringed.
"Are you all alright?" Fighter asked softly.
"Yes...are you alright?" A girl asked.
"No...I'm not alright." Ranger said seriously, not daring to look at any of them in the eye. "I've never been more sorry for anything than the time I killed all of you...and tried as I might, try as anyone else, including my beloved wife might...I couldn't forgive myself...!" At this point, Fighter knelt down beside him and holds his chin to look at him...but he shuts his eyes. In that moment, he probably hated himself to the point where he didn't think he deserved to look at his beautiful wife.
"Like you said, you did nothing but make up for it since..." Fighter said softly.
"Yeah, we saw you crush goblins left and right, and we got to reunite with our families." One of the girls said.
"But-" Another cuts him off.
"But nothing, what's done is done, and you have no idea if what you did to us could've been avoided. I mean, look at the Sword Maiden, her case is ten times worse than ours, and she's your guardian angel now! Or guardian nephilim, whatever..." She said.
"Yes, what happened to us was horrid. Yes, you're responsible for us losing our impact on the world, but others did that for us; it wasn't our task to do. Even the Supreme said so directly! So quit beating yourself up over it, and keep up the fight!" The one who didn't speak said, and Ranger calmed down the moment she finished, stood up and finally looked at them.
"Besides, we became almost like sisters in Heaven." Another girl said brightly.
"I'm still sorry for what I did to you..." He whispered as they each came up to him, and hugged him from all sides as he smiled and wept as his wife looked on as the girls poured out their forgiveness. "Thank you all..."
"No...thank you." One of the girls said softly before they all went back into the Ether Gazer, and Fighter's dad reappeared as Ranger sat down again, with Fighter's father sitting with him and taking his hand.
"Have you forgiven yourself now?" He asked as Ranger got a grip.
"I believe so..." He whispered.
"I see why my daughter loves you so much, and I'm proud to have you as my son-in-law." Fighter's father said with a smile.
"And I'm glad as well." Ranger said as they both stood up.
"Let me hold my granddaughter..." Fighter's father said before she handed the baby over, then kissed her husband as sweetly as she could, and hugged him close.
"I love you...with all my heart." Fighter said softly.
"And I love you with mine..." Ranger whispered as he kept breathing hard as Fighter's father watched the pair while smiling. Fighter eventually broke away and took her baby back.
"Father...that Cambion we fought hinted that he knew you, what did he mean?" Fighter asked.
"My dear daughter...that Cambion didn't kill me himself, but he's the reason I died..." Her father said.
"What?" Fighter asked seriously.
"It was a few months after you were born. He came to our house looking for a demon hunter he thought could make a difference in his campaign...one he firmly believed could better the world. He actually ran the idea of uniting the forces of Heaven and Hell to completely balance the world, and since he already had demonic blood in his veins, he only needed holy blood, and lots of it." Fighter's father said.
"So...he didn't just kill the Sword Maiden because she turned him down. He wanted her very essence." Ranger said seriously.
"Most likely. The Cambion asked me to point him to that demon hunter he mentioned. I refused, then he accused me of being a coward for not wanting to help the world in the best way possible, and cursed me; he wished that I die before my daughter was prepared to live without me...if I had just stood up like I did the rest of my life instead of withdrawing, then he'd probably be in Hell, instead of here doing his unholy work..." Fighter's father said.
"You mean he's been at this for almost two decades?" Fighter asked.
"The Demon Lord died twice in my time...but the Cambion's crusade was as immortal as it is to this day.." Her father said as they all stood there taking in the information.
"I became Gold Rank by helping defeat a small army of vampire fathers...by opening the seven chakras." Fighter said which made her father widen his eyes.
"The seven chakras? I...I wanted to teach you when you got older, but... I'm proud of you for learning it regardless." Her father said as he touched her shoulders.
"I intend to use it again, next time I face the Cambion." Fighter said seriously.
"But you can deal with him later. For now...you have time to spend as a family..." Her father said.
"We're both going to teach her, and the rest of our future children everything we know when they grow up enough." Fighter said firmly.
"I look forward to watching them. I love you both." Her father said as Ranger opened a portal and they returned to the fortress.
When they got back, Fighter gave the baby to Rhea Fighter who was looking over a new armor suit, then took the baby and turned in for the night, as Fighter came back to Ranger, and they both stripped naked and went to bed.
"Are you alright now?" Fighter asked.
"I'm just glad that...room-full-of-shredded-goblins of a mess is finally cleaned up..." Ranger said.
"Well, now it's just you and me now..." Fighter said softly as she molded her lips against his as they laid there holding each other, with her caressing his chest and abdomen, and him stroking her hair and back. "Heaven is sweetest after tasting Hell first, and...you've tasted Hell for too long my love."
"Fighter...I taste nothing but Heaven when we're like this; when I touch you...when I kiss you." Ranger whispered against her lips before she laid down on his shoulder.
"Tell me how I'm beautiful..." Fighter said as Ranger caressed her hair again.
"Where to start...this hair that's black as the night, which contrasts with your skin, and is as silky as your hair. Ironic, yet poetic. Your muscles that reflect the strength you use to crush foes alongside me..." Ranger said before groping her left breast. "Then there are these priceless breasts you nurse our little girl with. Here's hoping hers will nurse her own child just as well someday..."
"She's still an infant...but I get it, we weren't babies forever either. Oh that feels so good..." Fighter said as Ranger kept fondling her breast, before moving down her side and groping her butt.
"I'm pretty sure I made my feelings about this pretty clear..." Ranger said sensually as Fighter let off a lustful chuckle.
"You most certainly did..." She said as she kissed him deeply, then he put his hands on her butt as she chuckled and moaned while they lashed tongues slowly and smacked their lips together.
"How you get so strong, yet stay so thick-skinned, I will never know..." Ranger said as he kept squeezing and fondling her round, supple buttocks.
"You see how much I eat..." Fighter said casually.
"I also know why, and for the record...thank all things holy that you eat so heartily." Ranger said.
"So you can dig your pervy hands into me?" Fighter teased before Ranger lightly spanked her.
"You know you love it as much as I do..." Ranger said before Fighter kissed him.
"Did you drink any potion?" Fighter asked.
"I...gave it to that farm girl." Ranger said as Fighter raised an eyebrow.
"Say what now?" She asked.
"Yes...Goblin Slayer finally lost his virginity...I think." Ranger said.
"Wow...just...wow..." Fighter said.
"She probably took the lead; it might be a while before he does himself. Although...I wish them both luck." Ranger said.
"Then he'd be just like you." Fighter said as she stroked his face as he smiled at him.
"I forgot to mention your face...you've probably been as baby-faced as you are for as long as I've known you." Ranger said.
"And you...well, you need to shave again, but other than that...what woman wouldn't love how bulky you are? Or how...handy you can be?" Fighter asked sensually as Ranger flipped them over and rubbed her leg.
"Like I told you: a man who can't both love and fight...is no man at all..." He said as she felt him massage her muscular, yet plump and creamy thigh.
"Like I told you: you definitely check both those boxes. You probably have just about every man's dream as far as I can tell. You're going around, killing monsters, helping some people, training others...fucking me..." Fighter said with a smirk.
"If I had any potion, I'd fuck you into the ground..." Ranger said as Fighter quivered.
"Why must fate be so cruel to me...?" She breathed out,
"What? You remember those times I fucked you? Or those times you showed me just how much good your own body can do for mine?" Ranger asked as he pressed his lips against her neck as she gasped and rubbed against him.
"Yes, I remember them all..." Fighter whispered as her memories took hold and her body quaked.
"You married the right man didn't you? I sure married the right woman..." Ranger said.
"I did marry the right man...in every way..." Fighter whispered before Ranger came up and kissed her deeply and sweetly as she held his head as their lust was immediately replaced with love.
"When I get the chance...I'm taking some potion myself...and we'll make as much love as we want." Ranger said softly as Fighter smiled and then deflated.
"Love? When we fought Cambion...Priestess had to reattach my arm." She said as Ranger's eyed widened.
"What?" He asked as Fighter showed her right arm.
"He tore my arm off..." She said seriously as Ranger held her hand, then pressed it into his face and stroked her arm down to the shoulder. His gesture made her run her thumb across his cheek.
"My dear Fighter..." Ranger whispered...and Fighter's face split with a smile.
"This is the main reason I love you: you're so caring..." She said softly.
"You're my wife...I care about you above all..." Ranger said before kissing her palm.
"But you also care about others more than they care about themselves. You deserve a Diamond Rank for that." Fighter said and Ranger laughed.
"Seriously?" He asked.
"Hey, since the Diamond Rank is imaginary, we can throw them around as much as we want." Fighter said as Ranger stroked her face and looked at her lips.
"The last thing I forgot...was that mouth...I will never tire of kissing you...or hearing those sounds you make when I please you..." Ranger said then whispered as he claimed her lips with his own as he gave her one hungry kiss after another as they moaned and lashed tongues. He continued kissed her even when he began fondling her breast...then stopped cold.
"Ranger...? Why did you stop?" Fighter asked seriously.
"I just...remembered when your heart nearly gave out..." Ranger said and Fighter put his hand on her left breast.
"Like I told Priestess: my heart is still beating, can't you feel it?" She asked.
"You asked Priestess that?" Ranger asked.
"Yes...I put her hand on my breast as well, and hugged her despite the fact we were naked too." Fighter said.
"Fighter...?" Ranger asked and Fighter just smiled.
"I love her like a sister, and we're both women; you men may have apprehensions about that kind of thing, but us women do not, at least not all of us." She said.
"Fair enough..." Ranger said.
"Now...I believe you were playing with my breasts?" Fighter teased before Ranger smirked and continued handling her breasts and kissing her lips, while Fighter giggled, and moaned in bliss.
In Wizard and Warrior's room, the latter de-morphed his armor as Wizard just sat down and deflated heavily.
"We'll get that Cambion asshole next time." Warrior said seriously.
"Believe it or not...I can forgive that, all of it...but I'm a bit disturbed." Wizard said.
"Why?" Warrior asked.
"It's just...I'm happy we saved those girls, but...I think I'm getting used to this." Wizard said.
"O.k...I don't see how that's a bad thing." Warrior said.
"I don't see how it's a bad or a good thing! I have no idea what this is doing to me! Am I being desensitized to people's suffering? Am I going to stop caring altogether eventually? Am I trying to keep myself sane by drowning it out because I'm too weak to face it toe-to-toe? Am I losing, or trying to preserve my sanity? Am I losing my humanity? Am I...I mean, I'm...I don't even know what I'm saying anymore!" Wizard exclaimed as she laid down holding her head and trying to calm down as Warrior stood there and eventually walked over to her, and put his hand on her shoulder as he sat next to her.
"Whatever's going on inside that cavernous mind of yours...you're still part of this team, my wife...and a brilliant sorceress." Warrior said softly as Wizard got a grip.
"But...can I really afford to get used to this? I know I can heal their minds, without much trouble either, but it shouldn't have to come to this." She said as they sat there in silence.
"Baby..." Warrior trailed off.
"I tried...everything to get past this. I tried telling myself that healing the damage makes it right, I thought about the contrast between what they went through, and what it's supposed to be like, I praised myself for being their heroine, I prayed they'd find real men to have families with. I...tried to get past this, and couldn't...why? Do those things even matter?" Wizard asked.
"Of course they matter! What kind of question is that? Why wouldn't those things matter is the one you should be asking." Warrior said seriously as Wizard deflated.
"I actually showed those girls what I told you just now when I healed their minds..." She said softly.
"Well, here you go. It'll work for them, it can work for you." Warrior said hopefully before Wizard leaned into him as he held her close.
"Thank you..." She whispered as she snuggled into him as deeply as she could.
"Would you like me to do something?" Warrior asked before Wizard pulled away.
"Just...get out of that suit, and wait." Wizard said as Warrior de-morphed his outfit, as she did the same, then unclipped her bra, laid down and threw it to the ground.
"Baby?" Warrior asked.
"Treat me..." Wizard said, and Warrior needed no more instruction. Wizard closed her eyes as Warrior gripped each of her breasts, fondled and squeezed them from different angles, pressed them together, twisted and even licked her nipples as she moaned all the while. "That feels so good..."
"And it'll last as long as you want, my beloved sorceress." Warrior teased as he squeezed away making her smile and chuckle as he got back to licking her nipples. For the better part of a minute, Wizard just laid there letting her husband kiss, fondle, and lick her luscious breasts, while listening to her gasp, moan, and giggle, and watching her face light up with a blissful, toothy smile while she held his head in place with her soft and lovely yet powerful hands. He eventually came up, looked her right in the eyes, and kissed her enchanting lips as sweetly as he could as she caressed his face.
"Thank you..." She whispered.
"For pleasing you?" Warrior teased as Wizard chuckled and smiled again.
"For pulling me out of my head...again." Wizard said softly before pulling him into another kiss.
"Would you like anything else? I actually studied a silencing spell..." Warrior said and Wizard's eyes widened.
"Can you use it now...?" She asked.
"I believe so, why?" Warrior asked.
"Why do you think? Wizard said and Warrior raised an eyebrow.
"What...?" He asked before Wizard glared at him.
"For crying out loud...sex is one hell of a painkiller is it? I resolved my problem, but I'm still suffering, now down a glass of that potion and fuck me." She said.
"Any ideas how to go about it?" Warrior asked as they stood up, with her first.
"Don't clone yourself; just fuck me fast, and fuck me hard..." Wizard said before leaning into the wall, with her hands balancing her as she bent over. Warrior then drank some potion, got behind her, lightly spanked her for good measure, watched her flesh jiggle as she gasped, then pushed into her. Warrior immediately started thrusting into her moist, narrow opening without missing a step as she started letting out deep, throaty groans of ecstasy and even growled as her husband pounded her from behind.
Warrior then reached around to grab both of Wizard's bouncing breasts as the force of his thrusts rippled through not only her buttocks, but her entire body. Wizard continued groaning and smiling as Warrior fondled her breasts, and even played with her nipples in addition to scraping her inner walls with his thick, solid manhood. Eventually, both of them reached their orgasm, and Warrior had to catch Wizard before she fell forward and hit her face against the wall, then he removed himself from her, and they both laid down on the bed next to each other as they went straight to sleep without another word.
H.E. Archer woke up in the middle of the night to find D.R. still sleeping, then looked him over. He was no where near as pudgy as Dwarf Shaman, not even close...he was actually quite burly and hairy. He must've put his beard on his chest instead of his chin, and she couldn't help but smirk at her own joke. She then looked herself over...she was as flat-chested as the shaman kept quipping about, and she reflexively covered herself in shame. She knew D.R. said size wasn't everything...but only Priestess was her size, and she was an adolescent human; she still had growth to go through. Her lower body wasn't much better then her chest either; her buttocks had only somewhat more flesh on it than her chest did, which by most men's standards was quite lackluster.
What would D.R. say if he woke up and saw her naked body? She quickly got dressed and left...then something occurred to her: maybe the alchemist could help her in some way. Once she was ready, she went straight to his lab to see him working on some formulas.
"Ah, good night...which is what I would say-" H.E. Archer cuts Alchemist off.
"I want your help." She said.
"With what exactly?" Alchemist asked.
"Something...personal." H.E. Archer trailed off.
"May I ask how personal, and what you want my help with?" Alchemist asked and H.E. Archer sighed.
"O.k...I'm just going to come out with it: I know my friends got power from alchemy, and I know alchemy can be used to modify just about anything...including bodies..." She said.
"Oh...you want to change your appearance." Alchemist said as he looked over some of his materials.
"Yes, can you help me out?" H.E. Archer asked.
"Can I? Probably. The question is...should I?" Alchemist asked.
"What?" H.E. Archer asked.
"Well, alchemy has almost no limits, but using it on people's bodies directly? Let's just say I'm not going to make alot of friends doing that, even in the demon hunter crowd." Alchemist said.
"Well there has to be something you can do for me!" H.E. Archer snapped and Alchemist sighed and lower his hood...and her eyes widened when she saw his ears. "You...you're a High Elf too?"
"Yes I am, and a former Druid." Alchemist said.
"A Druid?" H.E. Archer asked.
"Former...Druid. Anyways, I have to ask you something else: How much do you love your homeland?" Alchemist asked.
"As much as anyone. What kind of question is that?" H.E. Archer said.
"Druids don't just love their homeland; they are their homeland. I left the Druids because I wanted to take a slice of our homeland with me to others, and no they didn't kick me out, nor did I leave without permission. I asked to leave, and they let me once I explained myself." Alchemist said.
"Why are you telling me this?" H.E. Archer asked.
"Because, part of the initiation is what you're asking for: A body alteration, and not only does it change the way you look, but it also makes you faster, stronger, more aware...more resilient, and sometimes...more magic-sensitive."
"What's the catch?" H.E. Archer asked seriously.
"Well...no one, not you, nor the person altering you has a say in how your body changes. You could change only somewhat, or quite radically, or somewhere in the middle. The good news there is that...while I am allowed to make minor changes to a person's body, like their hair color, length, or texture, other changes like skeleton changes, like with your hips? I'm sorry, but you're on your own." Alchemist said and H.E. Archer thought about it. She did what to change her body shape...but at what cost? She could wind up bald, with extra weight in the wrong places, or with extra bones for all she knew. But on the other hand...she could wind up giving the Sword Maiden a run for her money, and her body was flawless!
"I'll do it...!" H.E. Archer said firmly.
"Alright...come with me, this is going to take a while." Alchemist said as he got some things ready, drew a few symbols in a circle, then had H.E. Archer sat in the middle as he chanted in the elvish tongue and the symbols glowed one by one, flooding her body with energy in the process. "It's working..."
Fighter woke up in the middle of a a meadow with stormy weather overhead...much to her bewilderment. She was in her original outfit, had a high ponytail, and everything. Even her wedding ring and amethyst pendant were gone! She then noticed her old home...then it shifted into her home in Water Town, then the two imagined fused into one. She knew it was a dream but...it felt so real.
She then drummed up the nerve to go inside, and the same phenomenon happened: she remembered room from her first home, then rooms from her current home, then they fused into one. Somehow...the whole experience was jarring at first, than stopped being jarring. She knew dreams were insane by nature but...this was ridiculous.
"Ranger? Ranger, are you here?" Fighter called out as she walked through the house. She eventually found her baby's room, went inside...the crib was there, and an empty blanket that should hold a baby but didn't. It was beginning to worry her...
She blinked and found herself in front of the cave she had her first quest in...and dozens of goblins rushing out of the cave screaming in fear. The moment she got over her own fear, she took a fighting stance and threw a kick...and her leg passed through them, as they ran out in all directions, completely ignoring her and moving through her like she wasn't even real. It was quite eerie feeling them move through her body, but when it was over, she heard footsteps coming from inside the cave...and her eyes widened at seeing who they came from.
"Sword Maiden..." Fighter whispered before Sword Maiden gently poked her in the forehead. When Fighter blinked, she looked around to see that she was in the Temple of Law's garden, with Sword Maiden sitting on a bench with a little boy next to her. "Who...who is that?" Both of them looked at Fighter smiling. "Seriously, who is this Your Grace? They still said nothing, but Sword Maiden looked at her knowingly, then...the little boy looked in the opposite direction, and saw Fighter's child self coming out and they rushed to hug each other...then kissed. "Wait...that's Ranger isn't it?" Sword Maiden nodded before Fighter blinked, and wound up in the same meadow as before...with Ranger's younger self standing in front of her, smiling brightly, and offering her some flowers.
"Here!" He exclaimed as he held them out. Fighter then chuckled, knelt down to take them. "I picked these myself. Thanks for saving me from those monsters." Fighter was confused, but recalled the goblins she swung at.
"They're lovely. Thank you..." Fighter said softly before she shrunk down to her child self "What the-?" Ranger then grew to his adult self still smiling, then knelt down to her level and patted her head.
"Just like how you'll save me from myself..." Ranger whispered. Fighter then blinked again, and wound up in front of her house again...then her younger self gave her the amethyst pendant and wedding ring back.
"Here you go. These are going to be mine after all." Fighter' younger self said brightly.
"Yes...yes they will." Fighter said, then she woke up, saw Ranger still asleep and wept into his shoulder while smiling as brightly as she could.
Cow Girl woke up next to GS, then traced his scars...she was always proud of him for standing up to the goblins, and avenging so many people, and saving so many others in the process...but now, she'd do anything to repay him in full, and not just with sex. Ranger taught her about how the Love Goddess was said to be responsible for the very traits of the female body that society finds desirable, and maybe even the male body traits, but how little subtly the pleasures of the flesh has, especially when combined with a personal connection between those involved...she couldn't help but feel like there was something missing.
"Good morning..." GS said as he woke up and saw her thinking, but smile at him at the last moment.
"Good morning." She said before kissing him quickly.
"Is something wrong?" GS asked and Cow Girl deflated, he really was learning.
"It's just...do you ever wished you didn't have these scars?" Cow Girl asked.
"No." GS said simply.
"Well...I do. I understand why you have them and I love you for it, but...they leave a bad taste in the mouth knowing what happened to you to get them." Cow Girl said softly.
"I see..." GS said.
"Wait, do you know what the Sword Maiden did to heal her eyes?" Cow Girl asked.
"No." GS said.
"Do you think Ranger knows?" Cow Girl asked.
"Maybe, let's ask him." GS said and Cow Girl giggled.
"Look at you taking the initiative for me." She said softly as she caressed his face before kissing him as she held her head in place and...he poked his tongue through her lips making her chuckle in surprise as she lashed tongues with him...then reached down, and gave her butt a quick but rough grope making her squeal delightfully as she pulled back and she started laughing at him. "You sly dog you..."
"Let's go..." GS said in an almost teasing manner as they got up, got dressed, and went out to meet the others.
"Good morning." Cow Girl said as Dwarf Shaman, Lizard Priest, and Rhea Fighter, who was holding the baby, looked to see her.
"Good morning dear." Dwarf Shaman said as Cow Girl walked over to the baby.
"Hello." Cow Girl said softly.
"Hello." The baby said as Cow Girl giggled and ran her finger along the baby's cheeks before Dwarf Rifleman came out...and his legs were good as new.
"It is good to to see you healed Sir Dwarf." Lizard Priest said.
"Yep. A little magic from your Priestess, and I'm a new man." D.R. said.
"So...where's Long Ears?" Dwarf Shaman asked as Ranger and Fighter came out.
"No idea. She wasn't there when I woke up..." D.R. said then everyone looked behind him...and there she was, at least they thought it was her. She had the same clothes, in addition to some elvish light armor, the same hair color, same face and ear length, but...her figure was nearly on-par with Fighter's, especially her breasts; Dwarf Shaman's days of making fun of her flat chest are officially dead. Her hips were wider, her legs and arms were more muscular, and her hair was shoulder-length with a vertical triple ponytail.
"Long Ears?" Dwarf Shaman asked in awe as H.E. Archer smirked.
"In the flesh..." She said proudly.
"It is good to see you Lady Archer." Lizard Priest said.
"Wow...look at you." Rhea Fighter said.
"You look like a completely different person..." Fighter said.
"You're not-" H.E. Archer cuts Dwarf Shaman off.
"Don't say it..." She snapped and Ranger smirked.
"Yep...that's our Lady Archer alright..." He said, with D.R. gawking at her the whole time.
"Technically, I'm a Druid now." H.E. Archer said.
"You mean...an elvish holy knight?" D.R. asked.
"Something like that...I might as well go all the way since, I did help perform a miracle." H.E. Druid said., then Cherub appeared.
"Sorry I was away so long. Saving people from Hell is a huge pain in my wing joints. So...everyone alright? Oh who am I kidding, of course you are, but...what? Is something wrong?" He asked as Priestess came out and watched.
"Where on Earth do we start...?" Cow Girl trailed off as they went outside.
"Sheesh...I knew Cambion was tough but...I never thought I'd see the day you people almost get throttled." Cherub said.
"Please don't rub it in..." Wizard's brother groaned.
"All we need to know is how long we have to prepare for next time." Fighter said.
"Well, Cambion's strength was cut in half, which believe me, makes him a smaller threat now than you realize; he didn't just lose his power...he lost a way to get his power back naturally." Cherub said.
"As in...?" H.E. Druid asked.
"For starters, he can recover like anyone can, but it doesn't hold any water compared to what he gets from consumption. As in: absorbing creatures and even objects into his own body. Without any strong creatures to consume, it'll be some time before he's about to threaten anyone." Cherub said.
"He has to climb back up the food chain..." Ranger trailed off.
"Exactly, and until he does...this is a golden opportunity to train up to defeat him, and...you have all the means to do so. Wait..." Cherub said before swirling some energy around then hitting Ranger's horse with it. The team then looked on in amazement as it's armor turnd vermilion and the hooves temporarily burst into flames as it neighs loudly and Ranger glows with the same energy as he did when he used the Army of One miracle.
"My horse..." Ranger breathed out.
"There...another gift from the big cheese himself. Now your horse has power similar to yours, and can do things a horse should never be able to do, like be summoned from a burst of fire...or gallop on liquid water." Cherub said.
"No way..." Warrior said in awe.
"Yes way, your Ranger friend is now a true champion of the War God, like in his dream." Cherub said.
"You mean...?" Ranger trailed off.
"No, I'm not giving you the Apocalypse Armor, unless you want to wind up like the Supreme's champion. Your own armor should work just fine anyway." Cherub said.
"Speaking of which..." Ranger said as he got into an open space, and drank some holy water.
"Boss? What are you doing?" Warrior asked.
"Smith..." Ranger breathed out, and an array of weaponry appeared around him, then chains sprouted out of his armor and absorbed the metal into the armor.
"Holy shit!" Warrior exclaimed.
"With this miracle and my armor's consumption power, we can all get stronger in a heartbeat." Ranger said.
"Damn boss, you're a genius! Why didn't we do this earlier?" Warrior asked.
"Hindsight I guess." Rhea Fighter said.
"We thank you for this information good Cherub. Now we will put it to good use." Lizard Priest said.
"Well, no time to lose, let's get back to the frontier, and get back to training, just like old times..." Fighter said as they hopped in their cart and rode off as Cherub watched until they were out-of-sight, and disappeared while shaking his head and smiling.
Well...that's one way to recover from an ass-whooping eh? Anyway...I cannot believe I'm coming back to this but...the fact that Fighter's dad has an official appearance and even a kid version of Fighter is a thing makes her "official" fate even more insulting than it already is. If anyone makes a character, builds them up, and then martyrs them just because...dark fantasies have to be dark, then shame on everyone involved. Ranger getting closure on his first and worst failure was just icing on the cake when it comes to wrapping things up. Them showing Fighter's dad his grandchild, and Ranger abusing Smith like that are two things I wanted to do but didn't because...reasons. But whatever, hindsight is 20/20, and it's a running theme for me to plan something only to use it at a better time anyway. So...the two teams are going down yet another trip down memory lane in the frontier, so Rate, Review, and Share until then...stay tuned.
