Sex & Magic

By Alice

Chapter 1 Beginnings

Sally Smith here. World famous adventurer. Today I have been given the dangerous task of crossing the blood-soaked fields of...

"Oh, please. You're no famous adventurer. You're practically still a novice."

"Hey, I am not!" I cross my arms and pout. "I've been an adventurer for two years now. Ever since I turned eighteen."

"Look. I understand writing up daring adventures and making yourself seem like a real hero like the Gold Knight or Miss Crimson, but you can't start believing in your own lies." My companion places her hand on my shoulder. "I just.. I don't want to see you get hurt. We are a team, after all. We look out for each other. OK, Ar L 'el?"

"Please don't call me that, Coral. I dropped that name when I left the forest."

"You should at least mention to your readers the truth every once in a while. I'm just saying".

"Yeah yeah. Fine."

Ar L 'el here. Novice adventurer. I'm a high el...

"What did I just say?" My companion interjects.

Ar L 'el here. Novice adventurer. I'm a wood elf from the Tier Forest. I'm twenty years old. I have long blonde hair, green eyes, a slim figure and small 5ft 4 stature. When wood elves turn eighteen, we are given two options. Either we remain in our forest for the rest of our lives or we can leave to explore the world but we are branded as outsiders to the forest. That means we can't return. We are marked magically and a spell stops us from entering our home forest ever again. It's sad but thats wood elf tradition. I have decided to change my name to Sally Smith because in society, wood elves are looked down upon as unsophisticated forest folk. That's also why, if anyone asks, I'm a high elf. They are high up in the social ladder, due to their long lives and rich society.

"There. That about covers it. What do you think Coral?"

"Hmmm. I think you should mention me too. We are a team after all."

"Sounds fair"

My lovely companion. She's 5ft 8, 21 years old, she's got short red hair, blue eyes, a slim body with thighs and curves to die for and eye catching C cup breasts. Her name is Coral Oshey. If you think it sounds fake, that's because it is. You see, she may seem like a gifted hydromancer, that's water mage if you didn't know, but in reality, she's a mermaid. I know, crazy right? Mermaids don't have names like land dwelers do, so i gave her a name. Here's a lesser known fact, when on land, mermaid tails magically turn into human legs. Cool huh? I saved her back when I was still living in the forest. There was a river that leads straight to the sea and Coral was swimming upstream, away from the ocean. She was injured and frightened. A group of poachers were after her for a job. It makes me sick. Coral is a beautiful soul who wouldn't cause any harm to anyone. After I healed her up with my wood elf healing magic, since that day, we've been close friends.

"How's that?"

"Not bad Sally" Coral says as she reads over what Sally has written in her new journal. "Although, I don't see the point in describing my boobs to such a degree. Especially when you leave out your boy chested mosquito bites you call tits."

"Hey. That's rude." I say as I take my journal back from Coral. "At least I didn't write about your big ass"

"Urgh. God's Sally. For a virgin, you are constantly horny. Although I suppose that's to be expected."

"Whatever. I'm just saving myself for the right person. You know that. Besides, if we are going there, let's talk about how you end up in someone else's bed every time we visit a new town." I say with a smirk on my face.

"What can I say? I'm sexy." She says as she steps in front of me, purposefully swaying her ass as she walks.

Damn it. There goes my smile. "Looks aren't everything" I say under my breath.

"Come on Sally. We're almost there." Coral says cheerfully.

'I love her sense of wonder and adventure. She's always so excited to visit a new place.' I think to myself. Seeing her happy always makes me happy too.

Coral runs up to the top of a hill to get a view of the horizon. I decide not to waste my energy and walk up instead.

"Wow" Coral is admiring the view when I finally reach the top of the hill. "It's beautiful"

Infront of us is a gigantic field of flowers. Thousands in all sorts of different shapes and colours.

Ok fine. Its no blood soaked wasteland. That was an exaggeration. "The field of colours. Legend has it, every flower is a soul that fell in the war against the damned horde".

Over two hundred years ago, an army of demonic creatures suddenly appeared without warning and attacked the old capital of Crestrun. It took all the kingdoms of the world to unite and vanquish the demon army. The old capital was destroyed but the kingdom is strong. They built a new, bigger capital city at the other end of the plains. With everyone working together, the city was finished in just under one hundred years.

Now that would have been a sight to see.

"So, the medicinal herb we've been tasked with retrieving is somewhere in this field bigger than the Tier Forest. How are we supposed to find it exactly?" Coral states.

"I have a small telescope in my bag. That could help. We know the herb is green with a yellow head and red petals, so it shouldn't be too hard to spot." I pull out my telescope from my backpack and extend it. I point it out to the field and survey the area. "Eye spy with my little eye something beginning with F"

"Hmmm is it..flowers?"

"Whoa, you got it right. Are you some kind of mind reader?" I say sarcastically.

"You're not funny Sally. Give me the telescope." Coral takes the telescope from me and uses it herself.

"Do you see them?"

"No. Not from here." Coral compresses the telescope. "Looks like we are doing this the hard way." She starts walking down the hill towards the field of flowers. I follow her closely behind.

We reach the field and it looks even bigger up close. "Ok, this is ridiculous. This field goes on for miles. How are we supposed to do this?" I ask Coral even though I don't expect an answer.

"Do you have the job pamphlet?"

I open my bag and pull out the pamphlet used to advertise the job. It says,

Help Wanted

Medicinal Herbs Required

I am a local healer and pharmacist

I require 5 Sun Lilies

Sun Lilies are located in the Field of Colours

Reward upon delivery

Bonus reward for any extra Sun lilies upon delivery

Contact Daren at the pharmacy for further details

"They are called sun lilies. Perhaps they grow in a spot with extra sunlight?" I guess.

"Not a bad guess. Could be worth checking out. But they would need a lot of water too to compensate, If they take lots of sunshine." Coral adds.

"Isn't there supposed to be a lake a few miles north of here?"

"What? Like a lake of blood?" Coral says jokingly.

"No an actual lake. I read about it once"

"You read? Wow Sally, you never cease to amaze me"

Damn. Corals banter is on point today.

"We all have our hobbies. Mines reading and yours is whoring yourself out"

"Hahahahaha" Coral can't help but burst out in laughter "Oh you got me there. It's a good thing we are friends. Otherwise I'd punch you in your pretty face". Coral said that last part with such seriousness. I guess I should stop now.

"Seriously though, there should be a lake nearby. It's apparently the site of a massive magic explosion from back in the war."

'I read that in a book too btw' I say to myself in my head. Not risking Coral's wrath.

We walk through the field, passing all sorts of flowers, most we've never seen before. Especially Coral. "What's this flower? Oo this looks interesting. Sally, what flower is this?" It never seems to end. Just because I'm a wood elf doesn't mean I know every plant in the world.

"Hey! Sally! Come look at this" Coral shouts a few feet ahead.

I jog over to her and a smug look appears on my face. "I told you so". Down below us, we spot a giant lake with crystal clear water, surrounded by green plants with yellow heads and red petals. "There must be hundreds of them. We're going to be rich"

"I doubt the pharmacist could pay for all these flowers. Besides, something doesn't seem right."

"Oh Coral, you worry too much."

"No. I worry just the right amount."

Me and Coral find a steep path that leads down to the lake. With little difficulty, we reach the bottom and head towards the lake.

Coral ignores the plants and stares at the lake. "Sally, I'm sure I'm not wrong. There's definitely something up with the lake. I know what I'm talking about, I'm a mermaid after all."

Suddenly the water starts rippling.

"Oh shit. SALLY!"

Chapter 2 Fight Or Flight

I run over to Coral's side, just as the water starts churning rapidly. "Coral what's going on? Are you doing this?"

"No. But leave it to me. I know what's going on."

"Wanna share with the class?"

The water starts to rise out of the lake. A mound of water forms and grows in size. It towers over us and starts growing two appendages from each side. The tip of the water starts glowing. What was once a calm lake, is now a towering mound of rushing water with, what can only be described as, four arms.

"It's a water elemental". Coral states, preparing for a fight.

Elementals are creatures made from magic and formed from elements, like water, fire, etc. They are incredibly dangerous and very difficult to defeat. They form naturally from latent magic in the surrounding area. Sucks for us, this is the site of an intense magic explosion, this won't be an easy fight...is what I would be saying if Coral wasn't a master hydromancer.

The elemental makes the first move. It slams two of its arms into the ground where we were standing, luckily, it's slow, we dodged with ease.

"Sally, stand back. Let me handle this."

I trust Coral with my life. If she says to stay back, I will, no question. I run away from the monster, though it doesn't want me to go. It appears to cast a spell of some kind and a giant sphere of water appears in one of its hands. It throws the sphere directly at me, I don't have time to get away. Suddenly the sphere explodes and the water drops to the ground in front of me, searing the plants.

"You're welcome Sally." Coral must have used her magic to blow up the sphere. I'm lucky she did. The sphere was made of boiling hot water. I would have died if that hit me. I turn around and start climbing back up the steep slope we took to get down earlier. It's up to Coral now.

The elemental attempts to slam its arm onto Coral, but she keeps dodging with ease. Waiting for an opportunity to counter attack.

Coral finds her chance and her hands start glowing blue. The elemental seems effected by whatever Coral is doing. It starts bubbling and shaking. As if it's going to explode.

Come on Coral. Blow that thing up.

Suddenly, something appears inside the elemental. It's a skull, and it's rising to the tip of the creature.

"CORAL!" I try to shout to her, to warn her, but she can't hear me. I run back to the steep path and slide down it, reaching the bottom faster than before. I run over to Coral. By the time I get to her, the skull has fitted itself to the glowing spot on the elemental.

"Sally. What's going on? What's with the skull?"

"No idea. Though I can hazard a guess. It's a dark elemental."

200 Years ago

A war is raging on between the various races of the world and a horde of demons. A mage is struggling to stand up. He's using his strength to support himself on his magic staff. The demons are winning the battle. Suddenly, from behind him, a spell of dark magic hits the mage right in the head, engulfing his head in black flames. The mage screams as the cursed fire burns him worse than any fire should. Before the mage succumbs to the attack, he uses all his magical energy, even taking some power from the fire burning him, and unleashes an explosion of magical power so large the earth shook and the 10,000 strong, army of demons turn to dust. Nothing remains of the mage, other than his skull.

The water elemental gets darker, from clear water to dark blue, and it's body begins to get engulfed in black flames.

"Oh fuck" Coral starts looking worried, for the first time today. "Two elementals merging together? Is that even possible? Sally, we're in trouble".

"No we are not." I say with full confidence. "I have a plan". I open my bag and take out a length of rope. "Thank the gods for magic".

Oh. Did I not mention, my bag is magic. It has what is called infinite space. I can literally put countless things in it, so long as they can fit.

I unsheathe a dagger from my hip and tie the rope to a hoop at the end of the handle. "Ok Coral. I'm going to take the skull out. Dark elementals are born from cursed objects with great magical energy. If we can remove it, then you can destroy the water elemental and I'll destroy the skull."

"Ok. Sounds like a plan" Coral steps back as I start swinging the rope, making the dagger spin like a wheel. I then let loose and the dagger flies directly towards the skull. With a cracking sound, the dagger digs itself into the skull. I waste no time and pull the skull out of the hulking monstrosity.

Success. The water elemental starts getting clearer again. Coral makes her move and carries on with her previous attack. I, on the other hand, have a problem. The skull bursts into flames and lifts from the ground. The fire around it forms into a giant snake like body. I look over my options. I could run, or fight back. But how?

Oh hell yes.

"Hey Coral. I could use some water over here. Preferably an elemental sized amount"

Coral looks over at me, while in a stale mate with the elemental. "What do you...? Oh I get it. It would help if you bring that creature here."

"You got it". I run towards the water elemental, pulling on the rope to make the dark elemental follow me. Thankfully, my dagger is buried deep in the skull. It's not coming out any time soon. But the dark elemental is fast, it catches up to me pretty quickly. It swings its tail at me and I jump back. Barely dodging it. I keep running towards Coral. "You ready?"

"Yeah, I could have finished this thing off ages ago."

"There's a sex joke there somewhere but I can't find it at the moment."

The dark elemental is behind us. The water elemental still in the lake. "Sally. This won't work. We need the dark elemental under the water one."

"Just wait for it."

The dark elemental rears back, preparing to strike with fangs of flames.

"Sally!?"

"Hold it..."

The dark elemental attacks

"Dodge!"

Me and Coral get out of the way of the attack. Coral lands on her back and wastes no time. She uses her magic and, with a grunt, causes the water elemental to explode. The water drops down directly onto the dark elemental, causing it to fizzle out, leaving just the cursed skull. I quickly hurry over to the skull, before it could recover, and press the dagger further in. Shattering the skull.

I collapse on the ground. Laying on my stomach with my face in the flowers. "That. Was. Badass."

"Can we not do that again. Please. Using all that magic power takes a lot out of me."

"Sorry Coral. Next time, let's run away from the giant monsters." I say, knowing that's a complete lie.

Heroes don't run away.

We take a couple of minutes to catch our breath and regain our strength. Thankfully, now the monsters are gone, the field is nice and peaceful again.

"Right. Time to do what we came here for." Coral says as she gets up off the ground.

"Alright". I get up too and start picking some flowers. We each decide to take five so that's ten over all. Double the amount the job asked for.

"There. That should be enough. Let's head back to the village." Coral wastes no time and starts leaving the field.

"You're in a rush" I point out.

"I'd rather not wait around for another elemental to show up".

"Good point"

"Besides, I'm fucking horny"

'There's the Coral I know and love'. I say in my mind.

After a couple hours of walking, we finally get back to Harrow Village. It's a pretty large village with everything you'd expect. It's got a tavern, an inn, an adventurers guild base, all sorts of different shops and buildings. We head straight to the pharmacy to deliver the flowers.

"Hello doc." I say as I walk in. "Got your Sun Lilly delivery here."

"A marvellous. Thank you so much." The pharmacist is an elderly man with grey hair but he still seems as fit as he would have been twenty years ago. Must be a medicine he uses. "Wow ten of them. Thank you so much. This will be a huge help". The man leaves to get our payment.

I hope so. They weren't easy to get.

"Here you go" He says as he returns. He passes me a pouch filled with coins. "Twenty gold for your troubles. And here is the signed job request. Hand this in at the adventurers guild to register the job as completed."

Yes sir. I know how this works.

"Thank you sir." I turn around before I leave. "May I ask what these herbs are used for"

"Viagra"

Nope. I'm pretty sure a part of me just died. Coral couldn't stop herself from laughing.

I couldn't have left fast enough. "Alright then. I'm off to hand in this signed job to the adventurers guild. What abou..." I turn to ask Coral what she wants to do but she's already gone. "Why do I even bother?"

I head over to the guild building. It's a grand structure with the guild logo on the front. I walk inside to see all kinds of adventurers filling the lobby. Some asking for jobs, some sharing stories, some just waiting around. The guild halls are always popular, no matter what village you're in. I walk over to the job desk and wait in line to hand in our finished job. The line, unfortunately was quite long. There must be something going on.

After a while, it's finally my turn.

"Welcome to the adventurers guild. How may I help you?" The woman at the desk was a pretty brunette lady no older than forty, with long hair, brown eyes and a smile that made my legs weak. Now she's my type. I love older women.

"Hi there. I'm here to turn in this completed job." I hand over the job form to the lady. My smile drops when she reaches out and I see a shiny wedding ring.

'Of course she's married. Damn it. Just my luck'. I think to myself while forcing a smile.

"Thank you very much miss. Is there anything else?"

"Actually yes. Now that you mention it. What's going on here? Why is the guild so busy today?"

"That's because of this". The lady at the counter points to a large poster behind her. If I wasn't too preoccupied looking into her eyes, I would have noticed. It's a poster advertising the annual royal combat tournament. Every year, the royal family holds a tournament to gather all the best adventurers and pit them against each other in a fighting contest. Though this year something is different.

"Hold on. Am I reading this right? It says 'All Adventurers Welcome'. Isn't it normally just the high ranking adventurers that are allowed to compete?"

"In the past, yes. But the king wishes to give everyone an opportunity this year. Would you like to sign up? The prize is an invitation to the royal ball after the tournament, where its been known that the king will ask you to be his personal adventurer for the year. As well as a large sum of money, of course"

"That sounds exciting. Where's the tournament being held?"

"Normally, it's held in the capital. But the royal arena is closed for renovation, so the tournament will be held, this year, at Tier Arena"

My face drops and my eyes widen.

Home.

Chapter 3 Love At First Fight

The day goes by and I decide to head back to the Inn. I reach a well kept building with the words 'Crescent Moon Inn' written on the front. I walk inside and head straight upstairs to my room. Once I reach the hallway where my room is, I see two tall, muscular and handsome guys leave my room. 'Perfect timing' I think to myself 'Coral must have just finished up'. I pass the men and walk into my room. I immediately see Coral laying on the bed. She's on her stomach so I can only see her back. But what I can see is she's naked, her ass is bright red and she's got cum leaking out of her asshole. "Hey Coral I'm home. Had a fun night?"

"Mmmph!" Coral sticks her arm up and gives me a thumbs up.

"Do you mind if we talk? I have something I need to tell you about".

Coral flips over on the bed and sits up. I get a full view of her body. Her boobs and face are splattered with cum and Coral has this look in her eyes of satisfaction. "What's up Sally? Is everything OK?"

I've seen Coral naked enough times that I'm practically used to it. I just carry on like normal. "Yeah everything is fine. I just have some news to share. I've signed myself up for the royal tournament."

"Huh? I thought that you had to be a high ranking adventurer to apply for that. Also, are you crazy? You may be clever and fast but you're not strong. I heard the raining champion is a super buff orc. There's no way you'll win. Hell, you might get seriously hurt. I don't want to see you get put in a hospital."

"Calm down Coral. Firstly, they are allowing all registered guild adventurers to apply this year. Secondly, the royal medics will be there to heal everyone. They always do." I take a deep breath. "Look, Coral. This is something I want to do. I want to prove myself, I want to test myself. I know it's dangerous but I really want to try at the very least. Please, would you support me?"

Coral thinks about it for a moment. "Fine. I can tell this is something you've set your mind to. And I know you well enough that I can't change your mind once you have made a decision."

"Thank you thank you thank you" I'm so happy. I hug Coral.

"Um Sally? I'm still covered in cum and sweat".

"Yeah I didn't think about that." I let go of Coral.

"So, where is this tournament being held? In the capital like usual?"

"No. The arena is closed this year for renovations."

"So where is it?"

"Tier Arena"

Coral's eyes widen in disbelief. "What? Seriously? Now i understand why you singed up. You want to go back home".

"It would be nice but you know I can't. I just felt that it would be nice to see the forest again."

"Oh Sally" Coral says in a comforting tone. "Looks like we're going back to Tier."

"Thank you Coral. You're the best"

"Thank me by winning".

"Yes ma'am."

"So, when is the tournament?"

"Next week. It'll take us four days to get there on foot and then we can stay at the Grand Oak Inn and I'll use the rest of the time to train."

"You've really thought this through, haven't you? Then perhaps I can help. They guys I just fucked payed me for the privilege of using my perfect body..."

"Yeah Coral I get it. Your ego is as big as the dicks you take. Get to the point."

"We can use this money to take a carriage to Tier and get there much faster."

"You'd really do that?"

"For you, absolutely."

"Thank you" I say with a huge, blushing smile on my face.

"Now that's settled, I could seriously use a bath right about now. Care to join me Sally? I could use a body guard".

"Sure thing Coral. It's the least I can do"

Coral puts on her clothes and me and her head down to the inn's bathhouse. We go inside, hoping at this hour there'll be nobody else there. We can't risk people finding out about what Coral really is. It's too dangerous. After all, her scales are priceless to the right people. We enter the bathhouse and thankfully, we were alone.

Coral wasted no time. She took her clothes off and climbed into the bath. "Come on in Sally. The waters lovely." Coral starts swimming around. She dives underwater and her tail rises from the waters. It's a beautiful sight. Her tail is covered in blue scales that reflect the light and, with help from the water, shine beautifully like gems.

I climb into the bath and relax. It's been such a long day. The journey, fighting two elementals, signing up for the tournament. I sink lower into the bath. Enjoying the warm water and very pleasant company. This goes on for a while, until we start hearing noises. "Shit. Coral, get out. Someone's coming". I say as I get out of the bath in a hurry, gathering up Coral's clothes. It's too late, they are coming in. I quickly throw Coral's clothes into a bucket and hide it. Coral sees me do this then immediately dives underwater. I pick up my clothes as two girls walk in. "It's all yours ladies. Enjoy." I say as I leave. 'Damn I'm a shit bodyguard' I think to myself as I shut the door.

An hour passes. I'm waiting in the inn's lobby for either the girls or Coral to show up. I get up off my chair when I see Coral, fully dressed, walking towards me. "You're fired as my bodyguard"

"They didn't see you did they?"

"Thankfully no. I can breathe underwater so it's no problem, but it helped that the girls never took their eyes off each other. They were making out and touching each other. One of them got impatient and they went back to their room".

"I bet you want to join them now huh?"

"Maybe for a bit. Anyway, we've got a long day ahead of us. Let's get some sleep."

Me and Coral head upstairs and fall asleep.

The next morning we pack our things into my magic bag, pay a carriage driver to take us to Tier and head off.

The time passes quickly and we eventually arrive at Tier a few days earlier than anticipated. We get out of the carriage, say our goodbyes to the driver and head towards the inn. "Um, Coral. Could you check us in please? I'd like to see the forest again."

"Of course Sally. Take your time." Coral waves goodbye to me as I walk towards Tier Forest.

I arrive at the outskirts of the forest. As a wood elf, I have a magical connection to nature and I can tell the forest is doing well. The trees are strong and the animals at peace. Nothing has changed in the last two years. It's nice to know that. I reach towards the forest, hoping I can touch a tree, then pull back. When I decided to leave, I was marked with a spell that stops me from entering my home forest. Wood elf tradition. Fucking dumb if you ask me. I take a few more minutes to reminisce, then head back to the town to find Coral.

I arrive at the Inn and find Coral waiting for me in the lobby. "Hey Sally. Everything OK?"

"Yeah. Just hurts, not being able to go in".

"Come on. Let's get your mind off this. I have our room booked. Now it's training time" Coral says cheerfully with determination.

Corals training regiment was tough. I spend many hours a day training everything. My arms, legs, back, speed, accuracy. I even come up with new attack strategies.

The time goes by and the day of the tournament approaches.

"Don't forget Sally. There's no shame in defeat. Just stick to our training and you'll do just fine." Coral hugs me. "I'll be watching you from the audience."

"Thanks Coral. I could always count on you" I hug her in return. After a few seconds I break the hug. "Alright. Here we go." I head into the arena via the competitor's entrance. I meet with a guild representative and sign some paperwork, fill out some safety forms and wait in the break room for the opening ceremony to begin. I admit, I'm nervous. There's so many people here. Some clearly stronger than others. But I don't loose my cool. Coral wants me to win, so that's exactly what I'll do.

"Alright everyone. All contestants to the arena floor. The opening ceremony will begin in a few minutes." A guild representative proclaims.

Everyone heads out to the fighting ground and I follow them. I walk outside and see an amazing sight. Tier Arena. A grand colosseum, built to honour the legendary adventurer, the Golden Knight. A man who single-handedly killed a fire dragon that attacked the town. The arena is filled with people. Every seat is taken. I try to look around for Coral but I don't spot her. The audience is too big. What I do see is a regal looking balcony, adorned in red drapery and flowers of multiple colours. Atop the roof of the balcony is a stone statue of the Golden Knight himself.

"Alright everyone, please form an orderly formation." The representative describes how we are expected to stand. The contestants obey without question. I get into my place, one row from the front.

Not even a minute passes when musicians start blowing horns to announce the arrival of the king himself, Theodore Xander Del Lotto. He's 42 years old, has short black curly hair, a goatee, blue eyes, he's 6ft 2", and dressed in red and blue clothes fit for royalty. He walks out onto the balcony, surrounded by two guards and accompanied by the head of the royal army, Max Rogers. Followed closely behind, is the king's only family, the princess, Chloe Vira Del Lotto. She's 18, 5ft exactly, blonde with long straight hair, blue eyes and small B cup boobs. She's dressed in a sparkling green and white dress that grabs the attention of a lot of the audience and is followed closely by her personal guard and arguably the strongest female knight the kingdom has, Amanda Heartwood. She's more my type to be honest. She's 36, 5ft 10 inches, long braided red hair, brown eyes. Unfortunately I can't see her assets from here because she's wearing her knightly armour. A silver plated suit of armour with blue cloth around the waist and the royal crest on the chest. A lion in a ring of flowers. Although, I have heard that Amanda has large boobs under that tight armour of hers. 'Must be difficult for her' I say in my mind. The royal family take their seats and the king stays standing. The audience goes quiet when the king raises his hand. "Thank you all very much for coming to our fifth annual royal tournament. This year, I have decided to change things up. Previously, only high ranking adventurers were allowed to compete, but, this year, ive decided to let any adventurer join. Some of you might be wondering why I have made this decision. Its because, a few months ago, my life was saved by the strength and bravery of a low ranking adventurer and at that moment I realised, rank is just a placement. Strength, true strength, can be possessed by anyone, and I'd like to see more of it. So, to all fighters today, new and old, I say, I wish you the best of luck." The crowd applauds the king's speech. The king raises his hand again and the crowd goes silent again. "Now, it's my great honour to welcome to the arena, our three time tournament champion, Grunda Ironfist".

Infront of us, a gate opens and out steps the most beautiful lady I have ever seen. Grunda is a 6ft 5, muscular orc with green skin, long black dreadlocks going down from the middle of her head and completely shaved off on both sides, deep brown eyes, tribal tattoos covering her arms, and large C cup boobs. She's wearing a fabric strap around her chest to cover herself and a large fabric loincloth. I swear, my heart skips a beat, I go weak in the knees. This is truly love at first sight. I stand there staring in awe as this green goddess starts talking. Her voice is a little deep and rough but that's to be expected from an orc. "Thank you your majesty. It's an honour to be here once again. To all contestants, new and returning, I wish you the best of luck. And to those who get pitted against me, I'm sorry in advance hahaha".

'I want to marry this woman' I say in my head.

Grunda stands there for a few minutes, looking over the crowd. I assume it's to asses our strength. But what I don't know is she's actually just staring directly at me. With one thought going through her head. 'What a cutie. She's adorable.'

An announcer steps out onto the arena. "Alright everyone, back into the break room. When you hear your name called out, that's your cue." Me and the other contestants leave. I look back to see Grunda but she's already gone. The announcer continues talking. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, and your highness, my lady, LET THE TOURNAMENT BEGIN!"

An hour has passed since the tournament started. I'm watching every fight, learning new tactics and studying the fighters for potential weaknesses. It's honestly so much fun, even if I'm just waiting for my turn.

The announcer speaks again. "Next up is Hank Nix versus our champion, Grunda!" Grunda steps out, looking as lovely as ever. I'm a little surprised I've fallen for her so hard but at the same time, love is love, I can't control who I fall for and I wouldn't change anything if I could. Her opponent doesn't seem very special but looks can be deceiving. He's a roughly 5ft 10 man in full armour, helmet and all.

'He's going to need that armour against the champion'.

The fighters take their positions. Hank unsheathes his sword, and Grunda takes a stance. The tension in the air is heavy. Could Hank be the one to take down Grunda? CRASH I guess not. Grunda swung her fist directly at Hank's head. He falls to the ground and immediately, with just a single punch, Grunda won her first match of the tournament.

'She clearly lives up to her name, Ironfist.'

"Could Sally Smith please report to the gate. That's Sally Smith to the gate please."

My turn.

I head over to the gate and wait for it to open. I can hear the announcer introducing me and my opponent. My nerves are skyrocketing but I don't care. I'm more determined than ever to win this. Maybe then, Grunda will notice me. 'Ooo I hope she watches this' I think to myself. The gate opens and I step out to the arena floor. The audience cheers as I step out. Even the king and the princess are clapping for me and my opponent. Speaking of, he approaches. Dai Ren Hatcher. My opponent. An average looking guy with short shaved hair, brown eyes and wearing an open leather vest and leather shorts. He's carrying a large greatsword on his back. I better watch out for that.

"Alright then. Fighters, are you ready?"

"Yes I am. What about you little girl?" Dai asks me.

"I'm ready to win" I say with determination.

"Then let the battle begin"

Dai wastes no time. He unsheathes his sword and charges at me, pointing his sword towards me like a spear. I quickly dodge to the side and avoid his charge, but he's far from done. He stops in his tracks and swings his sword towards me. I manage to dodge that too but just barely. "Not bad kid. I admit, you've got good reflexes. But you can't win a fight by simply dodging everything. You'll have to attack eventually."

"Good idea. How about...right now" I take my dagger out of it's hilt on my leg and toss it towards Dai. The blade flies through the air, the pointy end heading straight for Dai's face.

He blocks it with his sword. Perfect. Just what I was hoping for. He's completely blocked his own vision with his sword. Once the dagger deflects off the sword, Dai lowers it and I have gone from his sight. "What? Where..?" He turns to his left and sees me. More specifically, he sees that I had jumped and my foot is now swinging directly towards his head. He doesn't have time to react as I kick him right in the head. The blow knocks Dai to the ground.

I waste no time with my next attack. I run towards him and kick some dust and sand from the floor into Dai's face. "Agh you bitch. Fuck!" Dai gets on his hands and knees and attempts to clear his eyes.

"You sound cranky" I joke at Dai. "You should take a NAP!" I kick Dai in the head again, this time with more strength. He falls to the ground, passed out. I won my first fight.

"Sally Smith wins!" The announcer cheers.

The king and princess are applauding my performance.

I can't believe I did it. I actually won. "Woooo I won" I cheer out over the crowd. That's when I spot Coral in the audience. Standing up and cheering for me. I wave at her and she waves back. The medics arrive to take Dai away and I head back to the break room.

The rest of the days fights go by and after the final fight of the day, the winners are told to go out to the arena floor. We all step outside. "Congratulations to all of our winners today. You performed admirably." The king proclaims. "However, don't let today's victory trick you. Anything can happen tomorrow. I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us." The king leaves the arena with the princess and their guards.

"Alright everyone. That's it for today. I'll see you all here again tomorrow, so get some rest." The guild representative says.

We all leave the arena. Coral is waiting for me outside the entrance. "Sally, that was amazing" Coral says cheerfully as she runs up to me and gives me a big hug. "Your moves were impressive. I'm so happy for you".

"Thanks Coral. I'm feeling quite tired. Could we head back to the inn. I have something I need to tell you"

"Oh. Yeah sure. No problem."

We head back to the inn and go to our room. We sit down on the bed together. "Coral. I think I'm in love".

"Wait, what? Like love love? Seriously?"

"Yeah. I've never felt this way before towards anyone. There's something different about this that makes me feel...I don't know what the word is. Flustered?"

"Wow, you're serious. Ok then, who is the lucky lady?"

"What makes you think it's a lady?"

"Sally. Come on. I know you"

"It's...argh it's hard to confess".

"Please don't worry. Just tell me. I'm here for you".

"It's...it's Grunda." I say covering my face in embarrassment.

"Grunda? The tournament champion? Damn girl. You really reach above your league don't you?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, I kinda get it. Those muscles are hot. Plus she's very good looking."

"You're messing with me. Aren't you?"

"Not at all Sally. I couldn't be happier that you've found love. I support you one hundred percent."

"Thanks"

"Now then, let's get you set up on a date. First you'll need some actual clothes..."

"Woah hold on. Can we figure this out after the tournament. Please."

"Alright Sally. If that's what you want. But first, I do have one very important question. Would you tell her you're actually a wood elf. Or are you going to lie to her forever, just because people look down on wood elves."

"Coral. She's an orc. Of course I'm telling her. Her people are looked down on too. She'll accept me for me. I'm sure of it."

"Good. But don't get your hopes up. She might not even like you."

Me and Coral went to bed shortly after talking. Many hours pass and I'm laying in bed, awake, because I can't stop thinking about Grunda. Her pretty face, her big strong muscles, her perfect round boobs.

"Hey, Sally? Could you please stop masturbating? I'm trying to sleep here"

I didn't realise it but Coral was right. I had my fingers deep inside my pussy and another hand groping my left boob. "Oops. Sorry Coral. I didn't realise."

"Whatever" Coral yawns and goes back to sleep. I fall asleep shortly after.

Chapter 4 My First Time

The next day comes along. The tournament starts strong, with yesterday's winners trying their best to not be today's losers. Unfortunately for some, that won't happen. I'm confident though, that I'll have a high chance of being today's winner.

"Could Sally Smith please report to the gate. That's Sally Smith to the gate please"

My turn. I head over to the gate and wait for it to open. Once it does, I step out and greet the crowd. While the announcer is introducing me, everyone is cheering loudly. I'll never get used to this.

"...and her opponent. Grunda!"

"Wait, what?"

Grunda steps out from the other gate.

"Well...shit."

Grunda steps up to me and towers over me. I look up at her and get a good look at her beauty. I have a sudden urge to kiss her. I want to be with her. To be hers. "Hi there...". Fuck me, how awkward can I get.

"Fighters, at the ready"

Me and Grunda step away from each other and prepare for our fight.

"And begin"

Grunda wastes no time. She immediately lunges forward. I can't tell what she's going to do. I repeat my movements from yesterday and dodge her attack by moving quickly to the side. This is a tough fight. I don't want to hurt her, but on the other hand I don't even know how to attack. Suddenly, I get a dumb idea. I pull out my dagger and charge at Grunda. She gets in a defensive stance and I drop my dagger on purpose. She doesn't understand what I'm planning, my action has caught her off guard. I get up close to her, I jump, wrap my arms around her shoulders and hug her. I'm not going to win this fight, next best thing is flirting. "Hey beautiful. Wanna grab a drink sometime? I'd love to get to know you". Hopefully my inexperienced, awkward flirting is enough for her. She wraps her arms around me too and embraces me. She then falls to the floor and, like a wrestler, holds me tight like a vice. Either I get hurt or I tap out. I have one last trick up my sleeve. I kiss Grunda on her lips. Just a peck but it's enough to get a reaction out of her. She blushes. 'Mission accomplished'. I tap out.

"Grunda wins" The announcer cheers. It seems no-one actually noticed our kiss. Must have been the position we were in. Grunda let's me go and stands up. She quickly turns around and walks back through the gate she entered from. I guess she's a busy lady. I decide to head back through my gate too.

After the days fighting concludes, I head off to look for Coral. She's standing outside, waiting for me like yesterday. "Now, I don't know if you are the luckiest or unluckiest person in the world."

"How so Coral?"

"Lucky. You got to spend some quality time with your crush. Unlucky. Your crush literally crushed you."

"Hehe yeah. It was hot. Her skin was so soft and she smelt sweat like flowers."

"You ready to go lovebird?"

"Yeah. I could use a drink. Or several."

Me and Coral head off to the tavern. There are people filling the place, all talking about the tournament. When I enter, people start cheering. "Hey, Sally right? Nice work yesterday. Shame about today though." "Hey Sally. Come sit with us." "Wanna spar sometime little lady?"

I love the attention but I just wanted to be alone. A realisation kicked in. I might never see Grunda again.

A few hours later and I'm chatting with some fighters. Telling stories about our adventures and jokes we've heard on our travels. "Alright guys. So, a party of adventurers walk into a bar, still carrying their weapons. The bar tender asks "why all the weapons?" The party says "mimics". The bartender laughs, the party laughs, the table laughs". The drunk guys burst out laughing. I know my jokes not that good. Looks like their too drunk to care. Suddenly I hear a loud bash. I turn to see what it was and my heart jumps. Grunda is standing in the doorway. Looking right at me.

"Uh oh." I look around the room for Coral but she's not here. Figures, I have a feeling I know exactly where she is.

Grunda approaches me and the tavern goes quiet. "I would like to talk to you. Do you have a minute?" Grunda asks me confidentiality with a subtle hint of shyness that I don't notice.

"Oh...um...sure. Let's go next door to the inn. I have a room there." I head to the inn and Grunda follows me closely behind. I knock on the door to my room. No answer. 'Oh thank the gods. Coral isn't here. That would have been awkward.' I think to myself. I unlock the door and step inside. "Come on in. Please take a seat. Would you like something to drink?" I ask Grunda.

"Oh, no thanks. I appreciate the thought though." Grunda sits on a chair in the corner and I sit down at the foot of the bed. "I have a question for you and I request an honest answer."

"Ok. Go ahead"

"Why did you kiss me?"

"The truth. It's because I'm in love with you"

Grunda is taken back by my blunt confession. She blushes and sits there in silence. I carry on with my confession. No point in hiding anything.

"I think you are the most beautiful lady I've ever seen. It was love at first sight. I hope I'm not causing any problems. I've never felt this way towards anyone before."

Grunda breaks her silence. "It's...um..it's fine." She clears her throat. "I actually...have a crush on you too"

My jaw drops. I can't believe what I'm hearing.

Grunda continued. "Since I first saw you, I thought you were pretty, adorable even. I couldn't stop thinking about you that night. Earlier, during our fight, I didn't want to hurt you. So instead, I hugged you. A little tightly, sure, but I wanted to touch you, more than anything. When you flirted with me, I couldn't believe it. The chance you actually liked me too was a surprise. Then, when you kissed me, I felt a spark. Something like a true loves kiss from fairy tales. That's why I'm here now. Because I was worried that your flirting was just a fighting tactic."

"Oh no. Not at all. I honestly have deep feelings towards you."

"Really? I've had lovers before but none of them stuck around for long. But after forty two years of living, I've never had a love for anyone like I do towards you."

Our faces are bright red. I've never been so happy. "Would you like to be my girlfriend?" I ask. 'Please say yes, please say yes'.

"Can we go on a date together first?"

"Of course. I'd love that." I get up off the bed and hug Grunda. "I hope you don't mind if I kiss you again".

"Oh. I don't mind at all...my little wood elf."

I step back in shock. "You...you know?"

"I can smell the forest on you. You don't have to worry. You're safe with me. In fact, I have a secret to share with you".

"Does it have anything to do with that thing your hiding between your legs?"

Grunda blushes deeper. She covers her face with her hands. "How do you know?"

"I felt it get hard after I kissed you during our fight. Don't worry though. It's nothing to be ashamed of."

"Are you sure you're OK with it?" Grunda asks as she lowers her hands.

"I don't mind one bit. So you've got a dick, big deal. That doesn't change my feelings towards you. Not one bit."

Grunda starts tearing up a little. "Thank you".

"Don't mention it. Now, can we make out? Please?" Grunda gets up off her chair, gently holds my hand and guides me to the bed. Her hands are rough. I can tell she's done lots of fighting, however her skin is so soft. I keep finding reasons to love her more. We sit on the bed and Grunda takes the initiative. She holds me close and kisses me on my lips. I can feel the passion she has for me and I return the kiss with all my passion too. We embrace each other and make out like long lost lovers. Grunda starts getting an erection and hesitates to carry on. "It's OK Grunda. Just to be clear, I'm a virgin. So do with that what you will". Grunda's primal instinct kicks in after she hears I'm a virgin. She pushes me onto the bed and climbs on top of me. Her body towers over me. Her boobs press against my chest and I can feel her dick getting harder. I want it inside me. I need it inside me.

"How far do you want to go?" Grunda asks.

"As far as you're comfortable with."

"I want to fuck you. I want to put my cock deep inside you and make you mine. However, I'm worried we're rushing things. Plus, I don't want to hurt you."

"Do whatever you want to me, beautiful. If I'm not OK with something, my safe word is apple." Grunda kisses me again, very passionately. "Can I touch it?" I ask in-between kisses.

Grunda takes off her clothes. Letting her large pierced boobs free. I reach forward and start sucking one while I grope the other. The room starts filling with Grunda's moans. "Ahh mmmph mmmm". After a while of playing with her perfect boobs, I start taking off the rest of her clothing. Finally her dick is free from it's fabric prison. It's much bigger than I expected. Ten inches at least and thick too. This thing could break me. I can't wait. "You know Sally, it's not fair I'm the only naked one." Grunda is right. I take off all my clothes. Showing Grunda my flat chest and wet pussy in all their mediocre glory. However, she doesn't see them that way. "You're so beautiful, little elf. I want to kiss you forever and never let you go".

"Please do"

Grunda plants kisses all over my body. She spends most of her time on my boobs and loves it. "I want to fuck you so badly Sally."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Grunda points her cock to my tight virgin pussy. This is it. She slowly enters me, going gently not to hurt me. "Aahhhh mmmph!" The feeling of her dick entering me makes me scream in pleasure. Grunda covers my mouth with hers to cover up my screams. My pussy gets stretched wide, it hurts and starts bleeding once Grunda breaks my hymen. "Apple apple".

Grunda immediately breaks off the kiss. "Are you OK sweetie?" Grunda's concern is precious.

"I just need some time to get used to this."

"Can we kiss in the meantime?"

"Yes please beautiful". Grunda and I start making out again. Our tongues dance together and my pulse races as I kiss the most beautiful woman in the world. I hope this moment never ends. After a while, I start getting used to feeling Grunda's dick inside me. "You can fuck me now, but please go gently. And don't go deeper than you are now."

Grunda obeys me perfectly. "Mmmphh mmmmphh!" We moan into each others mouths as she gently slides in and out of me. My pussy gripping her tightly, not wanting her cock to go.

I'm too busy getting fucked to notice Coral spying on us. "That's my girl". She quietly shuts the door and walks away. Leaving me and Grunda to fuck.

About ten minutes pass when I suddenly get a strong urge inside me. "Mmpphh! I'm goanna cum"

Grunda doesn't slow down or speed up. She keeps fucking me gently. "Cum for me sweetie.

I don't hold back. "Aaaahhmmmpphh!" I scream as I cum and Grunda quickly covers my mouth by kissing me again. My legs shake and a sense of electricity flows through me as I cum. Grunda stops moving while I have my orgasm.

"I'm close. I'm goanna cum" Grunda moans.

"Please cum for me beautiful. Cum inside me."

Grunda gently thrusts a few more times and then unloads a huge amount of cum into my pussy. "Mmmpphh!" We embrace each other and kiss as she cums. Once she's done, she pulls out and lays down on the bed next to me. "That was incredible." She states.

"I'll say. For my first time, it couldn't have been better." Me and Grunda cuddle up together, holding each others hands and kiss yet again.

Minutes pass and Grunda breaks off. "It's getting late. It's about time I head off." Grunda gets up off the bed and puts her clothes back on. This is the first time I'm getting a view of her perfect ass. I watch her get dressed and she comes over to me and gives me one last kiss. "Sleep well princess. I'll see you tomorrow." Grunda walks off, leaving me laying naked on the bed with her cum flowing out of me.

Coral is downstairs, waiting for me. She sees Grunda leaving and heads up to our room. She knocks on the door and opens it slightly. "Hey Sally, you OK?"

"Yeahh"

Coral comes in and sees me laying naked on the bed with cum leaking out of my pussy. "Well, this looks familiar." She sits on the bed. "So, how was it?"

"I'm in love. I can tell why you like sex so much too."

"I'm proud of you Sally. So, what's next for you and Grunda?"

"We've got a date in the works. I'm goanna watch her fight tomorrow, then probably kiss her for hours."

"Good girl. Now, grab some clothes. You need a bath."

I get up, put some clothes on and head down to the inn's bathhouse with Coral.

Best day of my life.

Chapter 5 What Does The Future Hold?

The next day. Me and Coral are sitting together in the audience. Watching the semi-finals. Four contestants remain. Including Grunda. Her fight is up first.

The announcer starts speaking. "First up, from Deeptide, Jack Ruby!" Out comes a tall black man with huge muscles. Wearing nothing but black trousers with a cutlass attached. "And our three time champion, Grunda Ironfist!". Grunda steps out, looking as beautiful as ever. In fact, she seems more confident. Perhaps I had a bigger effect on her than I thought. "Contestants ready? And fight!"

Grunda makes the first move. Swinging her fist directly towards Jack's face. Right before making contact, Jack grabs Grunda's fist, stopping her attack. Grunda, however, seems unfazed, and swings her other fist towards Jack. Again he grabs it with his other hand and stops her attack. "Hahaha" Jack starts laughing. Confident that Grunda has no way to fight back now. He's wrong though. Grunda uses immense force and front kicks Jack in the gut. Jack flinches and staggers back from the unexpected attack. Before he can recover, Grunda gets behind him and wraps her arms around Jack's waist. She holds him tight and suplexs him into the ground. She wastes no time and gets on top of Jack and with one final attack, she punches Jack in the face and knocks him out.

"Grunda wins!" The announcer cheers.

The whole stadium is cheering for Grunda. Including me and Coral. Grunda surveys the audience, taking in the cheers. She finds me and I keep cheering for her. She smiles and walks off.

Later that afternoon, after the last semi-final fight, I go to look for Grunda. She's in the arena's gym. Getting in some practice for the final fight of the tournament later tonight. "Hello beautiful."

Grunda turns around and sees me. She puts her weights down and walks over to me. I hug her and she hugs me back and kisses me on the forehead. "Hey sweetheart. I couldn't stop thinking about you last night. Thanks for coming today."

"I haven't cum yet today though" I joke.

Grunda giggles. "Hehe. Not what I meant."

"I know. So, I don't want to disturb you, so if you want me to go then...eep".

Grunda picks me up with ease and kisses me on the lips. "I'd prefer you stay. Perhaps we could do a special workout together. Something like last night perhaps".

Fuck yes please.

"No Grunda. Not here. I don't want to get you in trouble."

"That's sweet. Alright then. Take a seat and watch me workout."

Me and Grunda spend some quality time together. Before we realised it, the final fight was about to start. The guild representative walks in. "Alright Grunda. It's time."

"I'm goanna win this for you Sally."

I blush. "Best of luck Grunda. You've got this." Grunda walks off with her head up high. I go back to my seat and find Coral waiting there for me.

"Alright everybody. This is the moment you've all been waiting for. The royal tournament grand finale. Introducing, our champion, Grunda Ironfist! And her opponent. This man is the definition of immovable object. The sumo world champion, Goro Honda!"

Goro steps out of the gate. He's an obese man with muscular arms and legs, with his hair tied in a bun. He approaches Grunda and smirks. "This will be a good fight" he says with enthusiasm.

Grunda smiles. "Indeed. Let's make this a fight to remember" she says with equal enthusiasm.

"Fighters at the ready. And...FIGHT!"

And the first person to make a move is...No-one. Both fighters are just standing there. Waiting for the other to attack first. "Well Mr sumo champion. If you're not going to attack, then I will." Grunda makes the first move and punches Goro in the gut, but he doesn't react. It's as if he didn't even feel it.

"Go on orc. Try again." Goro taunts Grunda.

"As you wish". Grunda punches Goro again and again and again. All times, Goro doesn't react. Grunda goes in for another punch but, at the last second, switches her attack to a kick to Goro's shin. His facial expression showed that he felt that one. "Ah. A weak point". Grunda tries to kick Goro in the shin again but Goro steps forward and smacks Grunda with his palm. She staggers back. "Wow. I've heard about that attack before. Didn't expect it to be that strong."

"Hahaha. So you know about sumo, do you? Then I'm at a disadvantage. I don't know much about your fighting style. It's as if you don't have one."

"I don't. I've been improvising all my life". Grunda punches Goro in the gut again. And again, he doesn't react.

"I'm getting bored of this. Maybe I should end it right here and now."

"I won't give you the chance." Grunda tackles Goro, trying to knock him over, but he doesn't move an inch.

"Hahaha. They don't call me immovable for nothing. Hahaha...argh." Unbelievably, Grunda starts lifting Goro. "What? What's going on? How are you doing this?"

"Simple. I'm strong" Grunda has successfully picked up Goro and immediately slams him onto his back.

The impact of the ground and the added weight of his gut, causes Goro immense pain. "Aaaagggghh" Goro yells in pain and the audience cheers for Grunda.

She gets on top of Goro and pins him down. He can't move at all. "Looks like you really are immovable." Grunda then performs a close up punch on Goro's face with all the strength she can muster. Goro passes out.

"And that's it everyone. For the fourth year in a row, Grunda is our champion!" The audience cheers along with the announcer. The king stands up and applauds.

Grunda looks over at me and I cheer for her even louder. She smiles.

One hour later, the award ceremony begins. The king stands up to a podium, with Grunda waiting behind him. "Once again, it is my great pleasure to award Grunda Ironfist, with the champion title".

Grunda steps up to the podium and receives a gold medal from the king. "Thank you, your majesty".

"Looks like you're not out of a job yet huh? Hahaha" the king jokes.

The award ceremony concludes and Grunda finds me waiting for her. "Congratulations beautiful. I knew you could do it". I hug Grunda and kiss her.

"Thanks darling. I couldn't have done it without you".

"Yeah. How did you do it?" Me and Grunda turn around to see Goro standing by.

Grunda explains her method. "When I was lifting weights before our fight, I was looking at Sally here, and it got me thinking. I can lift weights, why not people. So when I was punching you, I was getting a feel of your body mass and weight. Trying to find the easiest angle to grab you and lift you up".

"Hahaha impressive. Very impressive. Looks like I've got some more training to do. Don't expect an easy win next time Grunda." Goro walks away.

"Hey Sally. Can we talk?"

"Sure. What's up?"

"So, I'll be working for the king again. Which means, I'm off to the capital tomorrow with the royal escort. But, I asked the king, if I was in an adventuring party, could the party join me in the capital. And because the king has known me for years, he said yes. So Sally, can I join your party?"

"Yes yes yes of course. Oh, hold on. I'll have to discuss this with my party members". I turn to Coral. She smiles and gives me a thumbs up. "Looks like it's a big yes. Welcome to the team love".

Grunda picks me up and kisses me passionately. I'm very excited for my future. Who knows what is in store. But, with my lover Grunda and my best friend Coral by my side, I know it will be magical.
