Chapter Thirteen: A Friend in Need
"Chung dearie, you didn't say you were traveling." Delilah had reached the group, Elsword on the other side of the group.
"Better be keeping up on your training! Ha ha!" The tank of a man names Helputt laughed heartily.
"Hey Elsword, want to see the pilot's area?" Aisha asked as calmly as she could. The rest of the group turned to distract the king and queen.
"H-Huh? But, shouldn't I say hi?" Elsword asked.
"Nah it's fine, we're super good friends with them. You can say high at dinner!" Aisha took her hand and started pulling her away. Confused but not resisting Aisha managed to drag Elsword away, allowing Eve to fully regain her composure.
"Y-Yeah dad. You know it!" Chung forced a laugh.
"How have you been?" Raven asked.
"Wonderful. My handmaid insisted we take a vacation, so we took a trip to Fluone" Delilah said, "We just left for home a day ago."
"Those shrines are incredible I have to say." Helputt said, "How do your people build those crazy statues kid?"
"Oh. Well as the carvers would said, it's a lifestyle not a profession. Every carver can trace their roots back to another great sculptor." Ara said.
"Like father like son eh?" Helputt laughed.
"So, what takes you to Altera? We would have gone straight home, but the seas have been incredibly rough on the passage, so we have to take the long way." Delilah explained.
"Oh, just decided on an old-fashioned road trip." Elesis said, "Just came here from Bethma."
"Bethma, did you go on the spirit walk?" Delilah asked.
"Yes. Well, they didn't let us in." Ara sighed.
"Ah, since yer with Elesis and all. Safety precaution I guess." Helputt said, "Surprised we didn't run into ya."
"We decided to keep to a timetable to make the earliest flight on time." Ciel said.
"Oh, I don't think we've been acquainted mister…" Ciel took a dignified bow as Lu stepped up.
"Lady Lu, this is my manservant Ciel."
"A pleasure to make your royal acquaintance your Majesty." Ciel said.
"Please, please, just Delilah and Helputt will do." The king said.
"I insist." Ciel said, still bowed.
"Best give up on it, he's a gentleman till death." Lu said.
"While a redeeming quality it may be, I hope we become good friends Ciel." Delilah smiled warmly.
"You honor me Majesty." Ciel said.
"Oh, stand up before you throw your back out." Lu tapped him with her elbow.
"Say…where are Elsword and Aisha?" Everyone stiffened, "It's not like you to leave someone behind."
"Aisha wanted to see the cockpit with Elsword." Eve said.
"Aye. So, tell me." Helputt looked Eve dead in the eye with a king's gaze, "Why might Elsword be a strappy young lass now?" Delilah looked at him.
"Whatever do you mean sir?" Eve said.
"Don't lie to me missy." Helputt said, "Any warrior worth his salt can recite an entire combatant's features at a mere glance."
"No point." Add said, "Had to tell them anyway."
"Indeed." Eve sighed, "My deepest apologies for the deception. It is…a bit of a delicate situation."
"Come now, don't keep us in the dark." Delilah said.
"Why don't we sit?" Raven said. They walked over to a dining table set out for small meals. Helputt sat on a sofa next to it due to the possibility of him breaking the dainty chairs.
"So, spit it out." Helputt said.
"You are correct Helputt, Elsword is indeed a woman now."
"What happened? Did he decide to change sexes?" Delilah asked, not judging in the least.
"Not…exactly." Raven said, letting Eve explain.
"After a game of Truth or Dare, Aisha wanted a little payback for Elsword daring her to shave off her eyebrow."
"That explains the fake." Delilah said.
"Said payback was Elsword was to test a gender change potion Aisha intended to use to help the local theatre troupe. The potion worked somewhat as advertised." Elesis took over.
"I woke up to the sound of my brother's name being called in dismay, and broke in to find Elsword unconscious on the floor and, well…" She rolled her hand.
"So, it worked?" Delilah asked.
"Clearly not if they were hiding it." Helputt said.
"Yes, Elsword suffered from full blown amnesia." Delilah cupped her gasp at Eve's words.
"How'd you find out?" Helputt asked.
"I first had suspicion when she did not recognize Elesis, who was in the room with us. I gave her a simple test. She barely recalled her name, and could not recall her birthdate, nor even the number of sides to a cube."
"I see." Helputt seemed to have the rest figured out, "So out of fear of medical issues, you're lying and having her believe she was always a girl, and it was just a sudden case of amnesia."
"Correct sir." Eve said, "Given the nature of the change, it was decided safe to be tactful."
"That's really why we're on a road trip. To get Elsword reacquainted with the world." Chung said.
"I attempted to contact you at the castle, as I did with our other friends, but clearly the message did not reach you."
"Yes, we were in Fluone for the past week." Delilah said, "We wouldn't have gotten the message till we got home."
"Well, I see why the young mage dragged her off." Helputt said.
"Are you angry dad…?" Chung asked, ashamed.
"What, you looking out for your friend? What kind of king or father would I be if I was mad at that?" Helputt said with a grin.
"Why don't you join us for dinner tonight?" Delilah offered, "Have Elsword get to know us again."
"We planned to ask that in fact." Eve said.
"Don't worry, we'll play along." Helputt said.
"I always thought Elsword would make a lovely lady." Delilah said, getting up.
"Nonsense!" Helputt got up as well, waving farewell, "Never a more suitable name for a strong lad like Elsword!"
"Oh, but he always carried himself with such class and grace when we met."
"Blimey, course he did you're the queen of Hamel!" They left as the El Gang discussed how to handle the flight. It had gotten a tad more complicated.
"See? Isn't this amazing?" Aisha asked Elsword as they stood in the cockpit. An empty captain's chair stood in the center of a large room, surrounded by high tech panels Elsword couldn't make heads or tails of.
"But…where's the person to fly it?" Elsword asked.
"This ship is Nasod made. The chair is more symbolic. If anything were to go wrong Eve would probably be the only person suitable to fly it. But as she would remind us, no one builds tech like Nasods."
"So, it's all on its own?"
"Yeah! Us humans would take forever to make a ship like this. Eve sure is amazing." She said.
"Eve made this?"
"Huh?!" Aisha blushed, waving her hands, "D-Did I say Eve? I-I meant Nasods!" She laughed nervously, anyone else could clearly tell she was lying.
"Oh, sorry. I must have misheard." Elsword felt her phone buzz. A text from Elesis.
"Sis, you gotta come down to the balcony. You gotta see what it's like to breach the clouds!"
"Who's that?" Aisha asked.
"Oh, Elesis wants us to go to the balcony."
"OH right, I totally forgot you haven't been above the clouds yet. Jumped the gun I guess." Aisha said, "Come on, this way."
The two left the control room and headed for the balcony. They opened the doors to a large platform with bolted chairs in sets of six.
"Over here!" Elesis waved with Ara, calling them over. They were sitting down, a safety bar pulled over the seats.
"Come on, sit down. We're taking off soon!" Ara said. Aisha and Elsword did so, the mage helping her get the bar locked in.
"Don't want to be falling off after all." Aisha said. The loudspeakers toned.
"All passengers, we are cleared for takeoff. Please ensure your safety bars are locked on the balcony, and you are steadied inside. Thank you." The voice went away, and the ship gently rumbled as the engines started. Elsword kept silent, scared of falling off even with the bar, as the ship took off to the sky. Within a minute she was enveloped in clouds, barely able to see through the steady ascent.
"We're still here sis." She heard Elesis reassuring her.
"Not long now!" Ara said.
And with a burst of light Elsword found herself in the air. A sea of white, fluffy clouds spanned the distance.
"Wow…" Elsword tried to stand up, so awe struck she forgot the bar.
"Woah there. Don't get up yet." Aisha said. The ship slowly leveled out, and the speaker toned again.
"Attention passengers, we are now level and safe for movement. Balcony passengers may now remove their bars."
There was a click as the bar popped out, and Elsword pulled it to the side and stood up as did the others.
"It's amazing…" Elsword breathed, carefully walking to the fence of the balcony and looking out.
"To think, birds can see this every day but we simple humans have to use technology to see this." Elesis said, standing next to her.
"I want to be a bird now. I'd fly and never land." Elsword said. Ara giggled.
"But if you don't land you can't eat." Ara pointed out.
The four stood there, looking out over the cloud sea, before heading back inside.
"Told ya there's not a view like it." Elesis said.
"Yeah. I'm gonna remember it forever." Elsword said dreamily.
"Okay, so we've got time to kill before supper, what should we do?" Ara asked.
"Well, we should find our rooms first." Aisha said.
"Good thinking. Where's a console…Ah." Elesis started towards a holographic display on an iron tablet.
"Okay, so two rooms for two people each…" Aisha started pressing buttons. After a few moments four tickets popped out into a tray underneath. Aisha picked them up and looked over them, "So room…54 for Ara and Elesis." She gave them the tickets, "And room 61 for me and you." Aisha handed Elsword a ticket, "You need to scan the ticket to enter your room, so don't lose it."
"Okay." Elsword nodded, and slipped it into her pocket.
"Well, we'll see you at dinner time." Ara said.
"Yup, later you two." Elesis waved as they headed off.
"Um, so how do we find the room?"
"There's signs on the walls." Aisha said. Opposite of where Ara and Elesis went there was a sign that said, 'Rooms 60-70.' "This way."
The two girls headed to their room and Aisha scanned her ticket for the door. It slid open with a silent hiss. It was a small room, not much space to move but with two beds on either side. Aisha walked in and plopped down on her bed. Elsword sat next to her.
"So, what now?" Elsword asked.
"Well…" Aisha looked down, "I was…wondering if maybe…you'd like to help me with something?"
"What is it?"
"Well…I lied. I did say Eve earlier." Aisha said, "I'm just smitten with her! She's so beautiful, and smart, and kind. I'm in love…but…"
"But?"
"Lu's the same too! She's so sophisticated and cute at the same time! Now I'm torn down the middle…"
"So…how can I help?" Elsword didn't have any idea how to help.
"Well…I want to ask them soon, but I did notice something with….Lu." Aisha blushed, "You know how we have those huge baths right?"
"Yeah." Elsword nodded. Her sister had shown her before they left.
"Well…I went in with Lu and…it turns out…" Aisha blushed more, "Elsword, do you know what a…hermaphrodite is?"
"No…" She said.
"It's um…a girl. With ah…" Aisha trailed off, "B-Boy parts."
"Boy-?"
"She has a dick!" Aisha blurted out. She cupped her face, "A-And this is super, super, super selfish…"
"What is it?"
"W-Well…there's this…spell…that can give someone…temporarily, um…other, intimate parts."
"Um…what do you mean?" Aisha stood up, cheeks burning red.
"I-I want…to ask if…I could temporarily g-give you…a-a penis…so I c-can practice…" Elsword blinked, "I-I understand if you don't want to do it! I-I'm just a super creep for asking, I-I'll just leave…" She walked to the door.
"I-It's okay." Elsword said, stopping her in her tracks.
"I-It is?" Aisha turned.
"Y-Yeah. I don't want you to be so…upset…so if I can help…. I'll do it." Aisha stood there before jumping at Elsword with a hug, "Ah!"
"Oh Elsword, you're the best!" Aisha said, "Thank you thank you thank you!"
"Y-You're welcome." Aisha got up, composing herself.
"S-So, c-can we do it now?"
"O-Okay. It's…not permanent right?"
"It isn't. I…practice the spell a bunch after Lu came." She blushed.
"Then…I guess…I'm ready."
"Okay." Aisha breathed out, "Just sit still, and relax." Aisha said. Elsword nodded, and Aisha began to chant in some other language. Her palm extended towards Elsword, her long hair fluttering. Elsword felt a warmth in her nether, doing her best to keep still. Aisha finished the chant, and looked down, "Oh…Oh my…" She said, staring. Elsword looked down at her torn, small shorts and saw a firm bulge.
"D-Did it work?"
"Y-Yeah." Aisha blushed, "M-Maybe a little too well." What, is it showing me what Elsword used to pack? She shook her head. Aisha got on her knees and crawled over. She placed a hand on the bulge.
"Ah." Elsword breathed.
"Feel it?"
"Yeah." She was blushing now.
"Okay…I'm going to, unzip you." Aisha said. Elsword nodded and Aisha pulled the zipper down. Elsword's new girth popped out, not able to be held by her panties, "Whoa…" Aisha stared. It was certainly big, nearly Lu size from what she saw, and thick.
Gulping Aisha wrapped her hand around Elsword's thick girl cock. Elsword moaned softly as Aisha started to stroke her.
"That feel good?" Aisha asked, after all she hadn't done this before.
"Y-Yeah…" Elsword said.
"Well…I know about this…first time though…" She opened her mouth, "Aaah…"
"What are you do-ing!" Elsword gasped as Aisha wrapped her moist lips around her cock. It was big enough to fully fill her mouth. Fuck…so big…
With Elsword's meat in hand and mouth she started stroking again as she gently sucked the tip, licking it like a candy. Elsword gripped the sheet, the pleasure flowing over her. One hand stroking her, another fondling her newfound testicles, Aisha began to bob her head, slowly inching her way down. After just a few bobs she gagged, pulling off coughing.
"A-Are you okay?" Elsword asked.
"I'm fine." Aisha steadied herself, "Come on…got to do this." Aisha said, and took a deep breath before engulfing Elsword's rod again, forcing it past her throat with an 'urk'.
"Oh!" Elsword gasped, the warmth and tightness of Aisha's throat gripping her cock. Aisha focused on her work, sucking and licking her friend's cock. She just had to get all the way.
"Mmm…" Aisha moaned, getting more and more turned on. Her panties were starting to get soaked as she throated Elsword.
"S-So good…" Elsword moaned deeply, "P-Please don't stop…"
Aisha didn't plan to. Finally, after a minute's work she took a deep breath through her nose, let go of her friend's member, and pushed herself down to Elsword's base. Clenching her eyes in effort Aisha wrapped her arms around Elsword's waist and began moving her head rapidly from tip to base, gagging but determined. Elsword couldn't speak through her moans and gasps, until Aisha pulled off fully.
"A-Ah…I feel…. funny…" Elsword breathed wearily.
"That's good. I want you to…fuck my throat."
"A-Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Hold my head and pound my wet throat, and cum down my gullet." Aisha growled, already fingering herself, "Fuck, this is way hotter than I thought it'd be."
"A-Anything to help." Elsword said, standing up. Aisha opened her maw and closed her eyes, waiting for her reward. Elsword felt bad but it was what her friend wanted. He placed her hands on Aisha's head and slipped her cock into her mouth. Just as Aisha started to lick it felt like her body took over and the crimsonette thrust her entire length straight down her throat.
"Mmph!" Aisha's eyes shot open, unprepared but pleasantly surprised.
"S-Sorry! I-I can't help it!" Elsword said as she gripped the mage's hair, fucking her throat like there was no tomorrow. Her full sack slapped against Aisha's chin as the sound of colliding flesh filled the small room. Aisha was vigorously fingering herself as she struggled to breathe, harder as Elsword had no restraint. Elsword's thrusts somehow grew more desperate, until she finally forced Aisha all the way down and shuddered. Aisha's eyes grew wide as she felt her cock spasm and shoot a thick, gooey load down her throat. With certainly no room to breathe now Aisha's eyes began to roll back with each shot, till finally Elsword fell backwards onto the bed, squirting the last threads of girl spunk over Aisha's face. Having caught some in her mouth Aisha opened her mouth for Elsword to see, and swallowed as loud as she could, following the trail with her finger.
"F-Fuck…Elsword that…was awesome…" Aisha breathe, licking off the cum on her face.
"Y-Yeah…" Elsword sighed, and looked down as her rod faintly glowed, and then vanished leaving her as a regular girl once more.
"See? Told you it was temporary." Aisha smiled.
"D-Did I help?"
"You have no idea." The mage stood up.
"That's good…I just…want to take a little nap…" Elsword said, and before Aisha could say she'd get her up for dinner, she was out.
"You're such a great friend Elsword." Aisha smiled, shifting the sleeping girl properly onto the bed and pulling the sheets over her. Aisha sat down on the opposing bed and opened her book, awaiting dinner time.
I felt you guys deserved a little treat for being kept waiting for so long ;) hope you enjoyed! And HELL YEAH! Three chapters in under two days!
