Chapter 99: Moonlight Swim
Nyna was pacing back and forth in the emptied vault while Adrian, Damon and Llarya watched her, sharing her concern.
"So what kind of talismans are we talking about here?" Asked Damon, casually pulling out Black Dahlia to polish.
"From what I remember, binding talismans," said Nyna as she continued to pace, "capable of securing the most powerful of creatures in their grasp, that just being what I can remember. The rest we had to write down on parchment because there was so many, but no doubt Salem had already disposed of it, so then we won't know for sure." Damon finished polishing his gun, and pointed it towards the corner of the ceiling, testing his aim,
"So I guess my question is this; if Zeus has the Blacklight Virus, where he can make an entire army of monsters, why steal the talismans and shit?"
"He's no doubt keeping himself at critical mass," said Adrian, "that way he can use his most powerful attacks at will if needed."
"Like your tendril barrage?" Asked Damon.
"That being one of them."
"So...I'm assuming you boys will be leaving to find Zeus soon?" Asked Nyna, sounding slightly dissappointed.
"Have to, now more than ever, especially now more than ever," said Damon, "if that freak Zeus is making an army then we need to stop him before someone else gets hurt!" Nyna hung her head at Damon,
"I understand...I'll have the mages look into how to find him." She nodded to her guards, and they ran off to find the mages and inform them of the orders. Nyna hung her head once more, until she felt Damon interlace his fingers with hers, giving her a coy smile,
"You know, until those mages are done, we do have a little bit of time..." Nyna smiled back, gripping his hand,
"I'd love that..." Damon then turned to his invisible wall,
"Do you think maybe we can fast forward this? So then we can get to the good part sooner? Otherwise this chapter is going to be longer than what it needs to be."
One requested time skip later...
Damon and Nyna were now standing at the alter inside the temple, with the former dressed in green dress robes while the latter was in a white and emerald wedding dress, with Adrian standing by Damon dressed in red robes while Llarya stood by Nyna, dressed in a white loincloth and an excessive amount of white body paint starting from the bottom of her cheekbones and ending at her bare feet, depicting doves and blooming flowers and complete with a red amaryllis blooming around her naval. Damon leaned over to Adrian and whispered,
"Okay...what's with all the paint on Llarya?"
"I believe she said something about it being 'ceremonial paint' or something of the sort," Adrian whispered back. Damon nodded,
"Suits her." Right as Damon said those words an elven priest walked up between Damon and Nyna, clearing his throat and ready to give a long speech, until Damon turned to his invisible wall,
"Maybe one more time skip wouldn't hurt..."
Another time skip later...
Damon and Nyna were now in a cavernous bedroom, clothes removed as Damon slowly and gently made love to the young elven queen. He planted several gentle kisses on her lips, down the side of her neck, and stopping at her right breast as he penetrated her, making her gasp and moan in delightful pleasure. He gently locked his teeth onto her nipple, pulling back on it just enough to get a gasp out of her, until her saw his invisible wall, causing his eyes to widen and release her nipple, causing her to yelp in a mix of pain and glee as her flesh snapped back into place,
"Uh...maybe this was too much of a time skip. Rewind!"
One reverse time skip later...
Damon knelt down in front of the priest, allowing the holy elf to place a jeweled crown with colorful gemstones on his head,
"Perfect place to stop time skipping!" Damon said to his invisible wall before turning his attention back to the priest.
"Arise! King Damon Sparda of the Northern Elves!" Damon rose to his feet, with Nyna gripping his hand tightly as the elves surrounded them, now with the male elves lifting up Nyna and the women to lift up Damon,
"Whoa! What is going on?!" Asked Damon, his clothes slowly being removed as he was carried across the temple and out the doors,
"It's the bedding ceremony!" Laughed Nyna, her wedding dress slowly being removed as she too was carried away, leaving Adrian alone with Llarya. The Devil Virus turned to the Dark Elf,
"So..." The elf held her hands behind herself awkwardly,
"Adrian...formerly of House Gremory...do you mind escorting me back to my home?" Adrian paused, and held out thr crook of his arm,
"Lead the way...Llarya of the Dark Elves."
Soon it was dark out, the full moon rising high above their heads as Adrian walked Llarya through the same open field that Adrian found himself in upon entering the new dimension, only now they were heading for the jungle portion in the assumed east.
"When Zeus first arrived, I was only ten years old," said Llarya, "learning from my father how to hunt and catch food. My mother, the chief, she taught me how to make medicines and heal the sick. But even with my talents I was still a child, and had no way of stopping Zeus."
"I can relate," said Adrian, "I moved to an entirely different country in my dimension, hopeing to leave my past life behind, instead I got a newer bigger problem that killed one of my best friends, Calvin, caused me to lose another close friend, Katrina, and finally, I lost my own dear mother, Victoria, to the evil bastard."
"From the sound of it, there wasn't much anyone could do about it," said Llarya, "It didn't help, in my case, that he brought an army of orcs with him to my world, along with his cadré of monsters and psychopaths AND enslaved the Light Elf Queen, therefore no one close by could truly stop him." She shook her head, "In my arrogance I thought I could beat Zeus, but I only had myself to rely on...and today would have been the end of us both had it not been for you and Damon." Adrian turned to her as they continued walking,
"So...this is a 'thank you' then?" Llarya stopped and turned to Adrian, looking right into his eyes,
"It is." She then leaned towards the stray devil, and taking her hint, he leaned forward enough to leave a lingering kiss on her lips, until she broke the kiss and continued to lead him, until finally they found a clearing; another beach, drastically smaller than the one he and Damon saw before, complete with a teepee and a firepit with prestacked logs. The beach surround a small lake with a waterfall, which flowed beautifully in the moonlight. Llarya tossed what looked like a pebble sized band of leaves into the firepit, and a fire roared to life, surprising Adrian. "Don't worry, that fire will burn for hours..." said Llarya as she made her way to the water. She pulled a single string on her loincloth and let it fall to the ground, giving Adrian full view of her bare bottom as she waded into the water, easily washing the ceremonial paint from her body before turning to Adrian, free of any cloth or paint, "I didn't step into this lake for an audience..." Adrian briefly stammered and began to turn, "...I stepped in for a participant." Adrian turned back to her with wide eyes, seeing her facing him with a hand being offered to him, "Care to join me?" Adrian responded by letting his clothes degenerate, walking into the water to join her, accepting her hand as they admired each other,
"Not going to lie," said Adrian, "you truly are beautiful, in body and spirit."
"I can easily say the same for you," Llarya said to him, and they gently pulled themselves to each other, planting deep kisses on each other until they were back on the beach, a blanket sprawled next to the fire as Llarya was laid on her back with Adrian between her legs, penetrating her as he kissed and sucked on her neck, drawing moans and mew-like sounds from the dark elf as he took her virginity. Adrian was quickening his pace, making her moan louder, and louder until she was screaming, "ADRIAAAAAN!!" She dug her nails into his back and wrapped her legs around him as her lower parts gushed out fluid on Adrian, which in turn caused Adrian to growl, withdrawing from the dark elfs sex and unleash his seed on her body. They held still, seemingly forever, until Adrian looked deeply into Llaryas' eyes,
"Llarya...I..."
"I do too," said Llarya, gently kissing him on his lips, even though she knew in her heart that he can't stay. She knew he had to keep going, she knew he had to find Zeus...
