MEMOIRS OF AN OUTSIDER
Chapter: 23 "The great unknown"
"Hello, daughter". Daeghun said to Khy as she was walking through the keep courtyard. "Atar", Khy said obviously surprised to see her foster-father,
"What are you doing here"? Daeghun explained that he come with important news for Elanee about the druids of her circle. The unanticipated reunion
with her father was as usual, dry and emotionless. He marked her map with the location and told her she had done well, and then walked away. Khy
had resigned herself to the fact that Daeghun would never tell her that he cared for her. Bishop tracked the elusive druids to a clearing in the Mere
where the destructive force of the encroaching shadows had driven the druids mad. Khy begged Elanee not to listen to their insane rants and finally
succeeded in persuading the elf to abandon their hold on her. A fierce battle ensued and the insane druids were killed, then Elanee freed her mentor
and to Khy's surprise, refused to leave with him. Khy was saddened at the deaths of the misguided druids and regretted losing the valuable allies
they would have made.
-----
Upon returning to the keep, Nevalle told Khy that the King had ordered the evacuation of Neverwinter. "This keep will be the base of operations against
the King of Shadows", He said, "We will make our stand here"! "We will need to stockpile as many supplies as we can before the coming siege".
Khy said to her friends. They gathered wagons and horses, and then set off for Neverwinter and Port Llast. It was a grueling journey, but this was their
last chance to purchase provisions before the inevitable altercation with the dreaded shadow king. Port Llast was the first stop as they scattered through
the village buying everything they would need. "Greetings sojourner"! Khy heard the familiar voice of Light of Heavens and ran to her friend and
teacher. Light seized the girl and kissed her hard as she squeezed and caressed Khy's behind. Bishop and Casavir watched the extremely familiar way
the aasimar welcomed their leader and felt highly curious about what really happened behind those closed doors. Light told Khy that it was time for the
challenge and the two began to battle. After a long skirmish, Khy was victorious and Light notified the girl that they would meet again. Their second
reunion took place in Neverwinter, and again Khy won the day as the aasimar talked of their third and final altercation. Returning to the keep with
heavily loaded wagons, Khy sparred with the divine champion and eventually one. Light swore to aid the Knight Captain in her endeavors and Khy
assigned her to Kana as a sergeant.
-----
Days were spent in reinforcing the fortress, preparing the Greycloaks for the great conflict to come and in searching for allies. They would leave
tomorrow for Highcliff to seek out and "hopefully" persuade the formidable lizardmen to their cause. Khy strolled through the courtyard of the keep
scrutinizing battlements and giving never-ending pep talks to the men. The tower of the nine had been completed weeks before and she wanted to
visit her new comrades to ensure the facilities were adequate. The place seemed deserted at first glance, but then her eyes attuned to the low light
of the room and fell upon Nevalle. He was standing near the back wall checking the condition of their armor and weapons as she wandered toward
him. "Everything to your satisfaction"? She asked him as he spun around and smiled. "My lady", he replied, "I did not hear you come in". They
talked of issues remaining to be completed in the fortifications and about the status of the men's training. Khy knew of Nevalle's reputation with a blade
and asked him to teach her a few of his legendary skills. Nevalle obliged, quickly tossing her a practice weapon and led her to the sparing room. His
talents with a sword were amazing as Khy attempted to parry his every move and then interject some of her own. "My lady", he said breathless, "You
are quite astonishing with a blade"! She smiled and turned to replace the foil on the wall, then felt his weapon entangle her legs and bring her down to
the floor. "Do not show the opponent your back, my lady". He stood above her laughing as Khy swept his feet and knocked him over, then pounced
atop the shocked man with the practice sword at his throat. "Do not underestimate a fallen adversary, my lord". She said with a smirk. "I shall never
take you too lightly, my lady". He whispered as she looked into his soft brown eyes and felt a sudden rush of swirling emotions.
-----
She scrambled to her feet and replaced the weapon, trying all the while to stop the racing of her heart. "Would you care to see the rest of the facilities,
Knight Captain"? He asked taking her hand and leading her to the stairs up into the tower. Nevalle began to point out the guardrooms and sleeping
areas, then finally through a trap door, the main tower. She looked at the many long, thin rectangular slots that were made for the archers and then
looked down on the courtyard below. Khy could feel the heat of Nevalle's body close behind her, but he made no move to touch her. "Nevalle", she
said softly, "There are no tables here to hide beneath". She spun around to see his cheeks redden with embarrassment and she knew her assumptions
were correct. "Khy", he said humbly, "Please forgive me my brash insolence and complete disregard for your position". "I will make amends in
anyway you deem". "Hmmm", she began, "Retribution for an unjust act". She circled around the helpless man and then said, "Vengeance will be
so appealing, my lord Nevalle". Khy walked to the shuttered window and opened it observing the many people clustered beneath the tower.
"Attention", she shouted, "Attention everyone"! The inhabitants of the keep soon gathered around as Khy announced that Sir Nevalle would be giving
a short speech. She shoved the stunned man toward the opening and said, "Make it good". She then unlaced and jerked down his breeches, as
she knelt in front of the bewildered man and he began to speak to the cheering crowd.
-----
"Citizens", he said as she gripped his throbbing member and heard him yelp, "I would like to say that I am proud…. Khy nipped at the hard muscle
and then drew him into her warm mouth, letting her tongue caress the long shaft. A groan escaped his tense lips as he continued. "The work you have
performed—a moan interrupted his sentence as she began to pet and kiss the loose pouches below. She then heard the pitch of his voice change as
she stroked rapidly up and down while sucking harder. "In closing, keep up the good work, thank you". He said hurriedly closing the wooden cover
over the open window and snatched Khy to her feet. Nevalle was trembling as he drew his tormenter close and kissed her smiling lips. "You are
extremely wicked, Knight Captain". He said. His breeches were still around his ankles as she asked, "Do you often lick and probe your comrades-in-
arms"? He blanched for a moment at the implication she voiced, and then heard her whisper, "Would you like to fuck one of the nine, Sir Knight"? The
dazed look on his face brought about a giggle from Khy as she unlaced and peeled off her armor. She stood naked in front of him as he ripped off his tunic
and kicked his breeches and boots to the floor. His hands roamed her body as he kissed her feverishly. He tilted her back across his arm to gain access
to her large breasts then began to fondle them, taking a rigid nipple into his mouth. Khy moaned in sweet ecstasy when he sucked harder and
slipped his hand between her thighs. The balancing act came to an end as they both crashed to the floor and then laughed at their predicament.
-----
He then held her close as he kissed her again feeling her draw his tongue into her mouth and gently suck. A jolt of excitement raced through his
loins and he positioned her on all fours and moved behind her. The sight of her firm round buttocks and her exposed opening shot bolts of an intense
hunger throughout his bare form. Her deep pink rose and the inviting abyss attached lured him to taste her honey once more. This was Khy's first
time experiencing the act in this position and it brought back memories of the young wolves so long ago. He guided his stiff shaft into her waiting
well and began to drive feverishly into her. He plunged deeper as she felt the pleasure of new places being stroked by his rigid shaft. She backed up
meeting his thrusts with her own. Khy felt him reach around and begin to roll her erect nipples through his fingers, which caused her to gasp at the
sensation. Nevalle grabbed her hips and pounded harder as she began to moan with delight. He could not restrain himself any longer as he felt Khy
match his pace with one of her own. He rammed again and again, as his pleasure peaked to a strangled cry of sheer joy. Khy was a few seconds
behind as she too crested with a shriek of passionate desire. Nevalle slumped across her back, gasping for air as Khy dropped her head and panted,
feeling the deep waves of desire continue and then slowly flow away. He jumped to his feet and pulled the quivering girl to him, kissing her as she
returned his fervor with hers. "My lady", he said softly,"I cannot tell you how much you mean to me, but"… Khy put her fingers to his lips and said,
"But we have our duties to uphold". They had consummated the burning, flirtatious infatuation that had plagued them both, and together agreed that
for now, this was enough.
-----
On the way to Highcliff, Grobnar insisted that the group search for the elusive Wendersnaven. He had received information from two gnomes in Port
Llast as to their whereabouts and was sure they could be found. Khy humored the little man and the search turned bloody from an attack of vicious
orcs. When it was over, Grobnar discovered an invisible instrument belonging to the unseen creatures and a look of pure joy enveloped him. Khy
told him she wanted to believe in the Wendersnaven and that thrilled him even more. They continued on to Highcliff and secured the help of the
lizardmen after battling the new chief and convincing him of the greater danger to come in that of the King of Shadows. The townspeople and the
lizard folk banded together and then began their long journey to Crossroad Keep. Khelgar reminded Khy that the Ironfist clan of dwarfs would make
excellent allies. "Lass", he said, "We need ta meet with 'em". She had the same opinion and the group then bypassed the keep to head further into the
mountains for the Ironfist stronghold.
-----
It took a week of strenuous marching to finally reach their destination, and Khelgar was heartily greeted by one of his clansmen. The leader was a
different story, as he proceeded to ignore Khy's pleas for help and to admonish Khelgar. The outcome to the unsuccessful meeting was that Khelgar
needed to prove himself to be a true Ironfist by retrieving the belt of Ironfist from the fire giants. He could then take control of the clan and
therefore command his brethren to aid in the battle. Once again, the weary crew set out on a vigorous climb, which would lead them to Mount
Galardrym. The hot and rocky terrain made for a slow ascent and her companions were irritable from the physical exertion. Khy shouted for Bishop
and then took him aside to ask why he seemed so distant to her lately.
-----
"I know you were with that knight", he said angrily, "How many more are you gonna fuck"! She tried to explain that being with Nevalle was just
animalistic lust and nothing more, but he refused to hear her. "Bishop", she said, "No one will ever replace you in my heart". "What about the
paladin"? He asked as he circled her waist with his arms. Khy knew this day would come, but hoped it would occur much later. She already had this
complicated conversation with Casavir, but with Bishop, it would be very difficult for him to comprehend. "I have loved you both", she said softly, "And
you fill me with such a feeling of desire that I cannot express the overwhelming yearning into words". She kissed him and felt his need for her in
his wanting lips. "There's an empty place inside of me", she told him, "That only Casavir can fill". "That does not mean that I care for you any
less", she said with tears in her eyes, "It just means that I need him too". Bishop dropped his arms as she continued to hold him tight and cried.
"Please try to understand", she said trying to control the flood of hot tears, "Please, Bishop". "I don't want to share you with anyone else"! He
screamed and then stormed away. The scene had been observed by a pair of vindictive eyes as Qara smiled to herself and put her plan into action. She
told Khy that she had injured herself and would prefer to return to the keep to escape the grueling trek. Khy asked if she would be all right going by
herself to which Qara replied yes. The Knight Captain watched as the little sorceress disappeared from view back down the mountain and was somewhat
happy in her departure.
-----
The skirmishes at the fire giant outposts gave them a taste of what was to come once they infiltrated the main camp. Elanee and Zhjaeve cast
buffing spells on the members while everyone prepared their equipment and their reserve of healing potions for the major fight ahead. They were
greatly outnumbered but managed to prevail and win the day. Khy gave the belt of Ironfist to Khelgar and then praised his heroism in the defeat of
the deceitful enemy. The little man was feeling quite powerful after their victory and wanted to continue on to the dragon's lair about which the king
of the fire giants had told them. Khy was leery of taking part in another horrendous battle so soon after their exhausting bout with the giants.
Neeshka spoke up and convinced Khy that the dragon's hoard would pay for the final repairs to the keep and more needed supplies. She consented
with some reluctance as they set up camp and rested before the dangerous assault.
-----
At daybreak, they broke camp and began the long expedition deeper into the mountain. Khy had a feeling of profound apprehension as they drew
near Tholapsyx's nest. Preparation began with buffing spells and elixirs to help strengthen their bodies against the dragon's wrath. Khy took a long,
deep breath and then pushed onward to confront the evil beast. Wave after wave of attacks did not seem to harm the great wyrm, as her
companions were falling one by one. Elanee and Zhjaeve tended to the injured as the others kept up the onslaught on the undamaged and sadistic
creature. At last, their never-ending attacks against the dragon were functioning to weaken the vile monster. The enormous dragon lay bleeding, and
gasping as it shouted to it's goddess Tiamat for revenge and justice against her brutal assassins. Khy watched as the dragon breathed it's last
breath and then ran to aid her fallen friends. Casavir and Bishop lay almost side-by-side as she rushed to help the men she loved. "Elanee", she
yelled, "Please heal them"! Casavir had been clawed by the dragon's large, sharp talons and deep gashes opened his chest. He was bleeding severely
and Khy yelled again for Elanee and Zhjaeve to come. Bishop barely moved as she realized that he had been crushed under the tremendous weight
of the gigantic beast. They were dying and no one was doing anything to help. "Khy", Neeshka said as tears rolled down her face, "We don't have
anymore healing potions and all the spells have been used". "What", she screamed, "We have more than enough potions, I saw them when we
packed"! Neeshka nodded and said, "Qara has them with her". "That fucking bitch told Elanee that she put them in her pack before she left",
Neeshka explained, "But we can't find them".
-----
Suddenly, an eerie black fog appeared and a dark-haired woman stepped from the mist. The woman walked over to the dead remains of the dragon
and screamed, "You dare to murder one of my children"! "You are a depraved and impertinent mortal to think I would not take vengeance for
my child". "Who are you"? Khy asked the furious woman. "I am Tiamat", she said loudly, "Queen and mother to all evil dragon kind"! "You
insolent creatures will pay for the slaughter of my loyal Tholapsyx. Khy stared at the ranting woman as she held the hands of her dying lovers. "A
life for a life", the malevolent woman said pointing toward Khy, "Choose"! "Choose", Khy, asked, "Choose what"? Tiamat told the girl that she must
select one of her companions to enter the dark portal that led to the hells. "You seem quite attached to these two", the woman said waving her hand
toward Bishop and Casavir, "Select one of these, they will die soon in any case". "I will not decide between my friends"! Khy shouted at the dark
woman. "Very well", the goddess said, "A bargain for the lives of the others". Tiamat presented her with a deal in which one enters the doorway and
the others would be healed. "One person goes through the gateway and you will heal everyone". Khy repeated. "Yes", the woman said, "You have
my pledge". She moved beside Casavir and looked into his blue eyes as she held his hand to her cheek. "I go willingly my love", he said weakly, "Do
not let this weigh heavily upon you". She leaned over his torn and bleeding body and kissed him as her eyes spilled tears onto her face. She inched her
way to Bishop and caressed his face before covering his lips with hers. "With me gone", he said struggling for every breath, "You'll finally have a clear
path with the paladin". "It is time"! Tiamat said as Khy hovered over the ranger and cried. She stood and walked slowly toward the evil woman and
said, "I have chosen"! She then threw herself into the dark cloud of the unknown.
