MEMOIRS OF AN OUTSIDER
Chapter: 21 "Is three a crowd"?
The journey to the ruins of Arvahn was a long and strenuous one with many unexpected delays. It was located in a hidden area of the Neverwinter
wood, which made using horses impossible. Some of the areas they traveled through were so dense with vegetation; they had to use swords and
axes to slice a trail. They climbed steep and rocky hillsides, only to find more in their path when they reached the top. The party finally came upon a
small hill strewn valley when Zhjaeve announced they had arrived. They crossed a little bridge that led them to the first statue of purification. Khy
touched the ancient moss covered stone and felt the cool marble beneath her fingers. A strange supernatural voice began to speak of the centuries
old conflict with the "Guardian", and of the blessing to be bestowed. Khy seemed mesmerized by the ethereal voice as the others began to back
away. She felt a brilliant light envelope and fill her with an intense force that caused tiny pinpricks of energy to surge throughout her body. She fell
to her knees, breathless from the experience and could sense the power coursing through her veins. "That was unbelievable"! She said as
people rushed to help her to her feet. They proceeded to search for the other sculptures and ran into a slew of bugbears, orcs, goblins and ogres,
which as usual ended with combat.
-----
At the temple of seasons, an emotional moment with Casavir about his mortality and final request seemed to gravely upset Khy. "Cas", she cried as
she held him close, "Please do not talk of such things". "My love", he said looking into her eyes, "Promise me, when my time is at an end, that you
will lay me to rest with these great Illefarn warriors". "I shall rest easy here among those of truly noble deeds". "I will not"! She screamed at
him. "I refuse to make it easier for you to die"! She rushed from the room with a multitude of tears flowing from her eyes. Khy stumbled into the
courtyard of the sanctuary and screamed her rage into empty air. She picked up a loose stone, threw it at the shrine, and then began to kick and punch
the old building in uncontrollable fury. Casavir embraced the frenzied girl, then saw the look of anger, and despair upon her tear-stained face. She knew
the harsh truth of their situation, that she may loose all of her friends to the dire battle ahead. However, until Cas's request she had not let herself feel
the emotions of the inevitable loss. Elanee examined the girl's blood covered hands that were cut and torn from her tirade. "Child", the druid said, "This
will not happen again, agreed". Khy nodded as she stared at the many faces surrounding her with their looks of deep concern.
-----
They approached the song portal, which led to the final statue, and the last blessing created for the guardian's demise. As the group stepped through
the doorway, Bishop pulled Khy aside and said, "Worried for the paladin and not for me"? She looked into his deep amber eyes that appeared to
darken when he was angry. "I'm fearful for you all", she said caressing his cheek, "I did not realize how much until Casavir's appeal". "Come with
me", he said with urgency in his voice, "We can leave tonight and no one will ever find us". He had asked her many times before to run away with
him, and though she sincerely wanted to flee and be with him, she could not go. "I won't leave them to face that fiend alone". She said softly. He tore
her hand from his face and said as he stomped away, "You are a fucking lunatic"! She followed the irate ranger up the hill and stepped into the portal
behind him. They emerged not at the statue, but in an eerie shadow version of Khy's village of West Harbor. "This can't be real". Khy said staring at the
complete devastation of her home. "Know that where we stand shard-bearer", Zhjaeve said sadly, "Will happen throughout your land if the King of
Shadows is not defeated". Moving quickly, the group fought their way through the shadows of the dead villagers, the dangers in the Mere and finally
arrived at their destination. The statue had been destroyed with no hope of receiving the last sanction as Khy and her companions fought the Shadow
Reaver and his minions who had smashed the figure. With their mission somewhat accomplished, the tired crew made their way back to Crossroad Keep.
-----
Khy had been quiet the last couple of weeks as she and her friends plodded their way into the keep, home at last. She went into her room and
stretched out onto the large comfortable bed, closing her eyes to block out the world for a few moments. She felt the mattress shift and opened her
eyes to see Casavir staring down at her. "My lady", he said softly, "I am truly sorry for the pain I have caused you". "It wasn't you", she replied,
"Your request finally put everything into perspective for me". "I will most likely lose some of my friends, or you will lose me". She said moving
toward him. He took her into his arms and held her, wanting to instill in her the faith he and the others had in their leader. "We all are aware of what we
face", he said, "Even if it takes our deaths, we must go on". "I know that now", she whispered, "But I don't have to like it". Kana interrupted them
with news from Aldanon. Khy quickly kissed her paladin and they both went to the library to see the eccentric old man. Aldanon informed them that he had
located the whereabouts of Ammon Jerro's haven and he proceeded to mark their map with the coordinates. Khy looked over at Shandra and asked, "Are
you ready for this"? She nodded and said, "Well at least I get to see where grandpa used to hang out". Khy hugged her tight and told her that if she
did not want to go, they would find another way. "There is no other way". Shandra said solemnly. Khy smiled at the girl and announced that they would
leave tomorrow and to gather the supplies they would need. She left the room and headed off to speak with Kana about orders for the keep.
-----
As soon as they arrived at the desolate region, they understood why Jerro had selected this place. Demonic beasts of all sorts were about the area
as they fought their way up the trail that led to the haven. They were given three paths to complete, by the haven sentry before they could gain
entrance. The tasks were difficult but not impossible to overcome, and they soon returned to report their progress. Shandra volunteered a drop of
her blood and suddenly disappeared inside the shelter. With the door opened, they stepped into the dark and foreboding sanctuary to begin their
search for Shandra and the information they needed. "Mephasm", Khy shouted as she recognized the devil from the githyanki stronghold, "Why are
you here"? Mephasm briefly explained that he and others were bound to the summoning circles and the haven siphoned its power from them. He told
Khy that she must achieve the cooperation of at least three of the others to gain access to the inner chamber of the one who held them. "Little
Neeshka", Mephasm said softly, "You look well small one". Khy looked at the tiefling who then shrugged her shoulders and said, "Let's go"!
-----
The group carefully navigated through the maze of rooms, searching for Shandra and speaking with the demons or devils they found. "Shandra", Khy
yelled, "Is that you"? "Who are ye talkin to lass", Khelgar said, "We're still lookin for the girl". "I can hear her in my head", Khy said, "She's trying
to find us". They stumbled upon a fiend named Blooden and her many succubi. Blooden succeeded in seducing Casavir and Bishop into a sort of liaison
with her, using some sort of evil enchantment. Khy watched in horror as her lovers fell under this manipulative control. "Cas", she yelled, "What are you
doing"? Casavir said nothing as he knelt at the feet of the temptress. She turned to see Bishop kissing her hand and yelled, "Back off bitch"! "Oh",
Blooden said, "Do these men belong to you"? Khy nodded as she drew her blades and prepared for battle. "You can not kill her", Sand said, "We
need her to open the portal". Khy knew that Sand was right. "Release them", she said to the demon, "They are not for you"! "But I'm so lonely",
Blooden replied, "Leave me one to help pass the time, you don't need them both". "How about the paladin", the woman purred, "I sooo love
turning the righteous". Khy shouted, "No"! "Alright", Blooden replied, "I'll settle for the ranger with his little touch of evil". "You shall not have
either of them"! Khy told her.
-----
"Well, little one", Blooden said as she held the men's heads against her legs, "It looks as though I already have them both"! The fiend told Khy that
she would open her portal and they could all go, but that she was keeping Casavir and Bishop for her amusement. The door opened as Neeshka
whispered to Khy, "Seduce them"! The Captain asked her what she meant as Neeshka explained that the only way to free them would be for Khy to
persuade the men that she was more desirable than Blooden. She looked at her friends and told them she had no idea how to go about seducing
someone. Blooden tried to listen to the whispers coming from the tiefling and the elf man, but failed. "Are you sure"? Khy asked as Sand and
Neeshka nodded and pushed her forward. The rest of her friends moved close to the open portal and waited for the outcome in the test of wills. Khy
took a deep breath as she unlaced her armor and walked toward the men. Bishop and Casavir were kneeling side by side in front of the evil woman
caressing and kissing her legs. Khy sat behind them and scooted backwards, wedging herself between the captivated men. She guided Casavir's
face down to hers and kissed him hard, stroking the hardness between his legs. He pulled away, continuing his attentions on the evil fiend. She tried
the same with Bishop, and gained the same result. Blooden was irritated at the girl's intrusive behavior and began chanting, all at once, a dark mist
filled the room and clouded everyone's sight.
-----
"This is getting me nowhere". Khy thought as she began to peel off the tight garment. She tossed her armor and boots aside, loosened the lacings on
the men's breeches and pulled them down. She slowly began to stroke them both, trying to concentrate on her actions as she quickened the pace.
After a few moments of manipulation on their engorged shaft's, she felt hands touching hers and then inch their way down her arms. She
remembered that Bishop was on her left and Cas to her right when she started this so called seduction, but in the pitch blackness she wasn't sure
anymore. She felt faces kiss and nibble at her neck as hands touched her body. Then hot mouths were on her breasts, enveloping her and sucking
hard on her erect nipples. She moaned at the new sensations coursing through her as she felt Bishop pull away. She kept a steady rhythm of strokes
on Casavir and then felt his lips on hers. Suddenly she could feel her legs being yanked apart and the quick thrust of Bishop's throbbing rod filling
her yearning well. She moaned from the vigorous excitement and felt someone sucking her nipple as a hand probed her flower and began to rub her
center of pleasure. The intensity of both men loving her at one time was almost more than she could bear. Casavir groaned and began to grind
himself into her hand as she rapidly fondled him faster until he yelled out and covered her with his spent passions. Khy too began to reach the peak
of rapture and screamed out as Cas silenced her with his mouth. Bishop groaned as he pounded and plunged deeper into her then blasted the hot
liquid of his fervor while screaming her name. Each man was unaware of the other, still somewhat blinded by Blooden's spell. Khy moaned as she
continued to spasm in a dreamy exotic ecstasy. Hands caressed her, lips kissed her and she could not abide stopping the tremendous pleasure she
felt. "Enough"! Blooden shouted. "Just get out of my sight". Khy searched around for her clothes hoping that the men were coming to their senses. The
room began to clear and she could almost make out the faces of her waiting friends. She found Casavir lacing his breeches and asking her what took
place, while Bishop walked toward them, adjusting his armor and screamed, "What the fuck is going on". Khy smiled at them both then led them to
the others. She tried to steady her trembling legs as Neeshka ran to her and then Khy promptly slid down the wall of the room. "What happened"?
Neeshka asked her. Khy looked up at the little tiefling and said smiling, "Just the absolute best sex I've ever had".
-----
Emerging from the portal, the party encountered a very powerful warlock and discovered that he was not who they sought. Khy heard Shandra's
voice again telling her that she knew a way to help them against the enemy. Khy warned her not to do anything and to get out if she could. The
encounter waged on as they battled the man and his summoned horned devil. The weakened man then hurled himself through the portal and
disappeared. Quickly, the group healed their wounds and followed. Appearing in the room where they started with Mephasm, Khy screamed seeing
the unmoving form of Shandra crumpled nearby. Khy held the motionless body of her friend and shouted, "You fucking bastard, she did nothing to you".
Mephasm astonished one and all with the revelation that the wizard was actually Ammon Jerro and he had just killed his own granddaughter.
Casavir tore Khy away from the lifeless girl as Ammon transported everyone back to Crossroad Keep. As they slowly materialized in the Phoenix
Tail Inn, They all could see that Khy was in a state of shock. She stared at the wretched man and drew her blades, ready to end his miserable life.
Zhjaeve stopped her, attempting to make her understand that he could be an asset to their great battle ahead. "Know that he may be of great help to
us and you must speak to him". "Not yet". Khy replied as she approached the bar and asked Sal for brandy.
-----
She drank as she did after enduring Lorne's horrendous torture, and cried as if her heart were broken. "She trusted me". Khy said, her words
slurring from the drink. "You…. You…. Killed her you son-of-a-bitch"! She shrieked at Ammon as she staggered toward the isolated wizard. "Why did
you kill her"? She said over and over, pounding on his chest. "I didn't know"! He yelled. "I thought all my family had been killed". "She was my
granddaughter", he said with sorrow, "I did not know". "She was my friend", Khy said through her tears, "I loved her". Casavir intervened by
scooping the anguished girl into his arms and holding her close. "I have a bed in the back room", Sal said, "Let her rest there awhile". Casavir sat her
down on the bed and removed her boots. "Help me take off this armor", she whispered, "It has Shandra's blood on it". He complied and then tucked
the naked girl into the small bed and waited until she slept. The next day, Khy got up and wrapped herself with a blanket as she walked into the main
room and almost tripped over Bishop sleeping near her door. She asked Sal for water, soap and a clean cloth. He brought the items and her freshly
laundered armor as he closed the door behind him. She dropped the blanket just as the door opened and Bishop stepped inside. "What is it", she asked
him as she continued to wash up and then dress. "There are a few things that happened in the haven that I'm a little fuzzy about". He said. A knock
at the door brought Casavir into the room with almost the same inquiry. Khy sat them both down and tried to explain, being as gentle with the answers
as she possibly could. "So this fiend has us both spellbound", Casavir asked, "How did we break the enchantment"? "With help". She said abruptly.
"Was it Sand"? Bishop inquired. Khy shook her head as they threw more questions at her faster than she could answer. "It was me", she yelled at the
two men, "I had to seduce you away from her"! "How"? They both asked at the same time. "Well", she said, "Let's just say that together you gave
me the best fuck I've ever had"! Khy went on to tell them, that if they could tolerate each other, she would have them both in her bed every night. "I
adore having you two at once". She said smiling.
