Chapter 123: Love Travels on Buzzing Wings.
As it turned out Varrel was a lot stronger than he looked and as Eve pounced on him he managed to catch her.
With a sweeping motion, he managed to switch their positions so that instead of her landing atop of him like she had planned he instead landed atop of her pinning her to the bed.
Eve felt her heart start doing back flips in her chest as she found herself looking up into the handsome face of her insectoid boy as he looked down at her with those complex compound eyes of his.
"You are a true beauty Eve," he said softly as he leaned down and very gently used his mandibles to nibble all along the side of her exposed neck sending electrical tingles shooting up and down her spine.
Eve let out a little moan as the pleasure crackled across her like electricity finding jumping points between her nerves.
Never in her life would she have imagined falling in love with another species but with him it was just so easy, there was just such a wonderful innocence to him that made him irresistible and when combined with his fire and passion it all combined into a truly exotic and wonderful individual.
Now as she lay under him and she felt the wonderful contrasting sensations of his carapace against her skin she also felt yet another side to him, his dominant side.
It seemed her Varrel was a bit of a dark horse or was it a dark wasp?
But she couldn't help but rather like this take charge side of him as it made her feel delightfully feminine.
Eve reached up and ran her hands up over the smooth carapace that covered his chest, delighting in the points where it transitioned from the harder almost plastic feel of the carapace itself to his waxy and soft skin that was exposed in the joints between the plates.
She absolutely loved the way he shivered softly as her fingers traced the exposed parts of his flesh revealing how wonderfully sensitive he was and that's when he decided to return the favour in a way that only one of his kind could.
While using his upper arms to hold his weight up he brought his lower arms up and began to run those wonderful three-fingered hands of his right the way up from her hips, over her belly and onto her chest.
Eve's back arched all on its own as an electric shock travelled down her spine, caused by the explosion of tingles from Varrel cupping both of her breasts in his hands and causing her already steel-hard nipples to slot themselves perfectly in between his fingers.
As he saw this an evil smirk appeared on his handsome face and right before Eve could ask him what diabolical evil schemes were manifesting in that handsome head of his he lowered said handsome head and wrapped his long thin tongue around her right nipple.
Eve let out a noise that was somewhere between a house cat that just had its tail slammed in a door and a moose that just got flicked in the balls by a branch whipping back on it.
This seemed to entertain Varrel endlessly as rather than show mercy to her he doubled down and decided to show exactly how long that incredible tongue of his actually was.
As Eve watched in fascinated surprise and a little horror Varrel's tongue wound itself around her right nipple like a hot, slimy, undulating snake and reached its way over from that nipple right the way across her chest to the other one, rapidly ensnaring that as well.
Now Eve was a mess, she was having both of her nipples licked at once by this evil handsome insectoid genius and he had essentially robbed her of pretty much all of her higher brain functions, it was also at this point that through the pink cloud of cotton wool that someone had ramrodded into her skull she realised that his lower hands were on the move and they were marching south.
Eve was powerless to stop the advancing insectoid army as it marched its way southwards down the valley of her abdominal muscles and across the wide scope of her hips rapidly heading for the hidden valley between her thighs.
As they approached and tried as she might she couldn't stop the large fleshy gates of her thighs from opening all on their own for him, welcoming those little finger soldiers like conquering heroes.
A gasp and another cat-moose hybrid noise escaped her as she felt both sets of his lower fingers stoke a lip each on either side sending bursts up into her belly that made her whole body shiver like someone had thrown a bucket of cold water over her.
A ripple of gooseflesh ran over her body like a wave rushing from the tips of her toes to the top of her head making her hairdo a little Mexican wave right the way up her body as it travelled.
Eve felt Varrel's tongue constrict on her nipples trapping blood in them both and making them super sensitive, he seemed to notice this as well because he began to vibrate his tongue almost to the same frequency of his buzzing wings which very nearly caused her to have an orgasm right there, she had never felt anything like this in her life.
Meanwhile using her distraction to their advantage, Varrel's little finger soldiers infiltrated her sacred temple, prising open those fleshy gates and slipping within her defences, they explored incessantly like little workers looking for the sweetest nectar to bring back to the hive to please their queen.
Eve squirmed and thrashed as Varrel systematically cut her off from her higher brain functions with pure pleasure and that's when he decided to burst her brain entirely but this time with words.
"You know I get the feeling that I can put this tongue of mine to far better use elsewhere," he purred without using his mouth which revealed that his kind indeed didn't use a larynx like humans did as his voice was a crystal clear despite his tounge being wrapped around her sensitive nubs.
True to his deviant and delightful words he uncoiled it and began to gently lick his way down her body, following the same grooves and valleys that his fingers had until it too arrived at her sacred gates.
The cat moose made yet another return as Varrel decided to attack the outside first tasting each and every inch of her lower lips before slowly winding it in between her flesh walls but what he did next pretty much broke Eve's brain clean in two.
Varrel wound his tongue around her clit like a fleshy noose moving it along until it was right at the root, trapped between his tongue and mandibles which allowed him to gently pinch and nip it sending starbursts into her skull.
While doing this he seemed to wind it up into something that resembled a fleshy boxing glove or plug on the end and while keeping his eyes on hers he proceeded to push that plug right through her entrance and inside her.
There just were not words pure enough or strong enough to describe what Varrel was making her feel, the sensations of being penetrated and tasted at the same time all while her clit was mercilessly nipped and nibbled sent her into a spiral.
Her whole body was acting on its own which was just as well because all the instructions she was trying to give it simply bounced around her skull like a fuckign echo before vanishing into the fluffy fuzz trapped within.
Eve began to pump her hips against his mouth desperate to make that wonderful tongue of his go as deep as he could make it a feat which he rather helpfully aided her with, pushing it so deep that he began to lick her cervix all while strangling her clit and making it so sensitive that she swore she could actually feel the atom of air colliding with it.
The first orgasm that blew through her was inevitable really and the second and the third, they came and hit in such quick succession that it felt like her body was some kind of semiautomatic weapon that he just kept pulling the trigger on until the mag was empty.
What made it worse was the fact that she could hear him and indeed feel him greedily drinking her nectar as she was having them, which only served to make them far more intense than anything she had ever felt before.
When the third and final one blew through she felt like she should have been left there as a gibbering wreck, but instead what was left was a fire hotter than the flames of hell itself.
It was pure desire, Varrel had shown her his true heart and now it was her turn to show this beautiful man hers.
"Did you enjoy that my new queen?" Varrel purred as he stroked the insides of her thighs as well as her stomach at the same time with his four hands.
Eve responded now with words but with actions, she managed to find the strength to haul her surprised man up on top of her before rolling them both over so he was laid with his wings pinned beneath him, though it did not stop him from buzzing them in alarm.
"You called me and treated me like a queen now I am going to show you that you are my king," Eve said planting a series of desperate and breathless kisses all over Varrel's handsome face.
He reached up and gently cupped her face in his before smiling up at her.
"You are my new queen and I will be forever grateful to you for showing me the truth of love and giving me the chance to fulfil my hive queen's greatest wish," he said softly in a voice so filled with warmth and joy that it brought tears to Eve's eyes but did little to quell her raging desires, if anything it fanned them even brighter.
"Enough talk it's time for love," Eve said softly and with that, she reached down his body until she found what she was looking for, the slit that hid his most sacred treasure from the world and kept it safe from others.
It was well hidden behind a retractable plate that protected this entrance to what she considered would be the kingdom of heaven for her, slowly and very gently she teased a finger inside letting those warm slick walls envelop her digit until she found what she was looking for.
There inside the little warm pouch was a long prehensile tube of slimy muscle that at first recoiled from her probing touch but then like a timid animal slowly came to her.
Eve revelled in the shivers that passed through Varrel as she very gently teased that symbol of his masculinity from its hidy hole and out into the open air, once it was fully everted she got her first good look at it and what she saw took her breath away.
He was about eight maybe nine inches in length, it was shaped much like his tongue only a lot thicker and kinda made her think of a tentacle she'd seen in a Japanese comic she'd found once.
It was a deep rich pink colour and she could actually see let alone feel his hot blood pumping through it silently begging her to take hold of it, which she did gratefully.
Varrel's wings buzzed beneath him as she gripped him tightly.
"Please be careful it's very sensitive," he said in a voice that was one part nervous and one part ashamed.
Oh don't you worry my buzzy king, the place this wonderful part of you is going is going to have a very tight grip on it," she purred softly before hositing herself up, aligning him and then sliding every single inch of his wonderful organ into her depths.
Eve grit her teeth as she felt his flesh stretching hers out, She'd never imagined that he would be so big but she was determined, she was going to have every single inch of her man within her, not a single bit of his length would be left wanting, after the love he had shown her she was going to give him only the best in return.
There was a soft pop from within her and she realised that not only had she gotten every single inch of him into her but more than that with the effort of squeezing his masculine flesh she had inadvertantly revealed another hidden ace up Varrel's many sleeves.
A smaller tube had been forced to emerge from the tip of his manhood like a manhood within a manhood and this tube had been small enough to pop itself right through the neck of her womb before being gripped by said neck effectively tying them both together.
This little tube instantly began to squirm around as if trying to figure out where in the name of hell it now was, like a little snake made of purest pleasure it stroked and tickled at the inner walls of her womb sending starbursts of pleasure through both of them.
"Oh wow!" Varrel breathed as the pleasure of this new sensation along with the whole host of them hit him all at once.
This spurred Eve on and she began to move, rocking her hips to pump his flesh within her but making sure she didn't pull back enough to remove that little tube from her womb, she wanted it to stay right where it was in her core.
Now it was Varrel's turn to begin making highly embarrassing noises and he began to moan and pant and at one point even began to make a noise that reminded Eve of a rusty gate swinging in the wind.
But none of that discouraged Eve, hell if anything it spurred her onwards because it was a beautiful sign that her man was letting go of his inhibitions just like he'd managed to make her do, she had shown him a side of herself that not only had she never shown anyone before but that in all honesty she'd never even known she had.
This handsome hybrid male had opened up a whole new world to her and shown her things that she could have only ever dreamed existed and now she was going to do her damndest to do the same for him.
Humans had taken everything this wonderful man had ever cared about away from him save for his sister, now Eve was determined to show him that not only were humans worthy of redemption in his eyes but that she was worthy of the chance he'd given her and the love he'd shown her, she would live up to the title of queen that he'd bestowed upon her and she would make sure he never regretted giving it to her.
Every single thrust of Eve's hips drove that hot pulsing rod of masculine flesh into her depths, it ground their sensitive flesh together regardless of the amount of lubrication the pair were pumping out, it drove them to newer and greater heights of pleasure until the pair could not think any form of cognitive thought, they could only act like two primal beings.
By now Varrel had gotten over his shock of all the newness and his body and primal instincts had taken over him, his lower hands had grabbed onto Eve's hips and his upper ones were currently mauling her breasts with reckless abandon, he even managed to have enough power left in his pleasure soaked brain to push himself up off the bed and use his mandibles to nip at her nipples.
In all honesty, neither of them had any idea exactly how long they were both going for, it could have been mere minutes or it could have been hours because time itself had ceased to exist for the pair of lovers, all that existed in their worlds was the other and the determination to give and receive as much pleasure as they could before the inevitable happened and happen it did.
The power of the mutual orgasm that hit them felt like an atomic bomb going off between the pair but rather than blasting them apart it had the inverse reaction, it drew them together with the power and magnitude of a black hole.
As they both wailed and thrashed in pure ecstasy they clung together forcing their bodies as tightly together as they could until the waves ebbed and subsided leaving them live two survivors of a shipwreck washed up on a shore somewhere, soaked to the skin and panting like they'd just swum for their lives.
When Eve managed to drag some part of her consciousness out of the pink fluffy fuzz that had swallowed it like a giant whale she realised that at some point they'd changed positions, rather than either of them being atop of the other they had rolled onto their sides and were processed together in a knot of limbs, flesh and carapace.
But the thing that made her smile the most was the way Varrel was holding her, he had all four of his arms wrapped around her tightly as she had both her arms and legs wrapped tightly around him.
It appeared that the effort and intensity had knocked her wonderful man out of the park and he was out for the count, she leaned in and gently kissed each of his mandibles and his forehead.
"Sleep well my handsome king, I love you," she whispered before laying her own head down on the pillow next to his and allowing the warmth to pull her under as well.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
So lost had Varrel and Eve been in their love and passion that neither of them had noticed that they'd had a silent observer the entire time, someone who was so worried that her brother was being taken advantage of and was going to be hurt that she'd felt compelled to sneak off when everyone else was not looking to make sure that he was ok.
But what Vizzy had seen in that room had actually shaken her to her core, seeing her protective and loving brother transform into a passion-driven wild animal with a hunger for his female's flesh had actually both shocked and surprised Vizzy.
As she silently staggered away from their room and darted as quickly as she could to her own room the images of what she had seen in there kept replaying in her mind.
"I-Is that why Thundertail wants a human boy so bad?" she said to herself as she flopped down on her bed and stared at the ceiling all while willing the heat that was currently burning between her legs to leave her be.
But that heat refused to listen, it simply kept on growing warmer and warmer refusing to let her ignore it until it got so bad that she knew she had no choice but to take care of it.
So moving quickly to lock her door and to draw her curtains to ensure that no one could spy on her private moment like she had spied on that of her brother and his new queen Vizzy dropped herself onto her bed and reached down between her legs.
Though mercifully as she began to stroke the soft lips of her now exposed womanhood it was not images of her brother that flooded her mind, but of Seven.
Ever since she'd seen him out of his suit she had been battling with thoughts that she knew would land her in very hot water should they ever find a voice, not least of all from Visa his very protective life mate.
Plus having seen with her own eyes exactly what Visa could do Vizzy knew that she was not someone she wished to pick a fight with though to be fair she knew in her heart that there was no way Seven would ever leave her plus he was far more dangerous than the large Alpha claw would ever be.
But that did not stop these thoughts from invading her mind, of showing her in incredible detail the depths of her wishes of what he could do to her and for her not to mention how he could make her feel.
As she closed her eyes and her fingers sped up working themselves into her flesh she saw an image of the surprisingly handsome human bearing down on her, immobilising her with his power and taking her in a way that every fibre of her being told her that she should fight against but instead welcomed with zero hesitation.
So powerful was the imagery that she swore she could feel him inside her to the point where she had to snap her eyes open to ensure that the handsome human truly had not spirited himself into her room and was not currently atop of her making sweet human love to her.
But the realisation that he was not actually sent a wash of forlorn despair through her and actually killed the buzz that she had been experiencing up until that point causing her to flop backwards on the bed, sprawling herself out and covering her eyes with the back of one hand.
"Why do I want a human of all things, after all they have done to us why did it have to be one of their kind that would make me feel this way?" Vizzy said to herself.
But no sooner had the words left her lips than she felt ashamed of them, it was not Seven or his people who had hurt her or her hive, it was not they that had destroyed so many innocent lives.
No this was the work of the vile raiders and their ilk.
Blaming Seven and his people for the actions of others would like be blaming her and her hive for every life lost to a feral Cazador, it simply wasn't right or fair.
Vizzy climbed to her feet again and as she drew the curtains back she looked down into another yard where everyone was working, she saw Thundertail hard at work at an anvil beating panels into shape for use in the Gatorclaw armour that they were all now hard at work producing.
The words of the big Gatorclaw girl swam into her mind and the power behind them, of how proud she was of her attraction to the human race and how unashamed of it she was.
"If she is unashamed then why should I be? None of the other non-humans here is ashamed to love outside of their own race and if my very own brother can find love in the arms of one of theirs then why not me?" she said and no sooner had the words left her lips than the shame vanished and in its place was a fire like determination.
Vizzy balled two of her fists defiantly and buzzed her wings with the same defiance.
"I will find a man to love me and look at me the way that Varrel looks at Eve, I will be his hive queen and he will be MY king," she said translating that fire into words and with that, she flung her door open and marched her oval rear off down to join the others in the yard.
No sooner had she reappeared in the yard than she was greeted by Vess who had been leaning on the corner of the tree so silently that Vizzy hadn't even noticed the giant Alpha Claw.
"Find what you were looking for?" Vess said softly and Vizzy buzzed her wings in alarm before looking at her curiously.
"W-What do you mean?" she asked quickly and the big female claw gave her a fang-filled grin.
"Oh you don't need to be coy or evasive with me child, I know exactly where you went and exactly what you saw when you went there, what I am wondering however was if you found what you needed in what you saw?" Vess said pushing her large frame off the tree and walking up to stand next to her.
The huge female Alpha claw towered over Vizzy and she had to crane her neck to look up at her but the look in her eye told her that she knew and was not going to let up for being fooled by evasiveness.
Vizzy sighed and nodded.
"Yeah I think so," she said.
"Look I get it ok?" Vess said placing a surprisingly motherly hand on her back which made Vizzy jump in surprise but oddly not pull away from her.
"Get it?" Vizzy said in confusion.
"You are trying to justify and in part sabotage your own feelings for their kind, firstly you were worried for your kin that he would be somehow harmed or was being deceived by Eve but instead you witnessed something that you never expected to see didn't you?" Vess said.
"How did you...?" Vizzy began and Vess's grin grew even wider.
"Because its something I too learned in that way, it shocked me to my core when I first learned that my niece and my nephew both loved humans, the very race that had persecuted and tortured us but after I got over my shock I realised that it was not these humans that did those vile things, infact these humans stood against those ones with everything they had and had risked their very lives to free us and fight against their own kind for me and my children if that does not mark them of worthy of us then what does?" Vess said and her words rang true in Vizzy's head.
"But still I was curious but not sure of them or their intentions until I saw them with my own eyes, what I did see shook me to my very core, I saw true passion and love in their rawest form, I saw a human male love a female claw with such vigour but then care for her afterwards with such tenderness that I could not deny their love, hell if anything it drove me to yearn for it myself," Vess said.
Vizzy looked up at her in surprise and buzzed her wings to show it.
"T-Thats how I feel!" she exclaimed and Vess nodded.
"I thought as much, they truly are confusing little creatures, capable of such feats of destruction and evil but at the same time of such love and kindness, I do believe now that judging them all for the actions of a few is wrong, but the actions of a beautiful few can also change your heart and mind for the better, take me as an example," Vess said and Vizzy buzzed her wings to get her to continue.
"I was tortured and imprisoned by the Humans we call the Enclave, they experimented on me and my children, they attached vile devices to our heads which took from us our very free will and autonomy and made us into puppets made of scale and meat, they wanted us as weapons nothing more, it mattered not one single shit to them that we were proud and noble claws, sentient as they were and capable of the same range of emotions as they, all they saw were our claws and our teeth and they enslaved us for them, but then there came Seven and his people, they fought tooth and claw to free us and to heal those wounds both visible and invisible that had been done to us and over time they showed us the truth, that the measure of a human is the same as any other by their actions, it was thanks to that lesson that I was able to look past my own inhibitions and misgivings and now look at me, I am every bit the proud and noble Alpha Matriarch claw that I was and I have the most beautiful human life mate to share it with, his is my pride and my love as I am his," she said shooting a loving look towards Chris as he worked at the Keval loom.
Vizzy nodded her head in understanding and made her antennae swish and bob.
"Yeah that was kind of the realisation I reached too," she said and Vess gave her a grin.
"Then it seems I have nothing left to teach you young one, all I can do now is wish you well on your own hunt and I pray that it be a fruitful and rewarding one," she said clapping her on the back and making Vizzy smile before she waved and carried on her way.
As Vizzy looked around the compound where everyone was hard at work she couldn't help but smile to herself, the way Seven and his people had set this place up it was kinda like a hive.
Everyone worked closely together and everyone had a job so no one felt left out or useless, plus he seemed to have been very deliberate in his placement of people to maximise the exposure the humans had to the friendly non-humans in a very obvious attempt to break down the barriers of fear and mistrust between them and it seemed to be working very well.
As she watched she saw Gatorclaws lifting and carrying heavy loads while humans performed the more intricate and fiddly jobs like welding and wiring but there were some crossovers like at the farm where both Claws and humans worked together performing the same tasks.
Though to be fair the Claws were far better at ploughing than the humans were while the humans were far better at the intricate spacing and planting than the Claws were but both worked perfectly together.
Varrel had been right when he had said that this was the world that their queen had envisioned that they would one day be a part of and it formed a pit of sadness in her heart that she had never lived to see it happen.
Vizzy sighed heavily as she thought about how thrilled her queen would have been to have met Seven and his people and to have welcomed them into her hive.
She imagined the celebrations the hive would have thrown for them to welcome their new friends and the great things they could have achieved with Seven acting as their human ambassador to the greater human world at large.
But sadly that was never to be and as far as she knew only she and her brother remained of the hybrid Cazador race so now it fell to them to be the ambassadors to the human world and maybe if the great ethereal hive permitted it the progenitors of a new stronger hive or maybe even hives.
A slight shiver of both want and anticipation flickered through her as the image of her becoming a hive queen with a human king at her side passed through Vizzy's mindscape though she did wonder what such a thing would look like and how would their children look.
Would they be more Cazador than human or the reverse?
Or thanks to her already hybrid DNA would they come out more or less like her?
These were questions she would love to answer though she did worry that a human would not be ready to take on such a pivotal role and one that carried such heavy responsibility as that of a hive king.
"Now that is the face of someone lost in the deepest of thoughts and given that you've been staring at that young human's arse for about ten minutes solid now I'm getting the feeling this may be a worry that I might be qualified to aid you with," A deep gravely voice said from behind her causing her to buzz her wings in alarm before spinning on the spot to find Visa stood there towering over her.
This was the second time in half an hour that a massive Claw had managed to sneak up on her, she really was going to have to start paying more attention to her surroundings or any dreams she had of making a new hive were going to end in the jaws of some unseen predator.
Though more at the forefront of her mind now was the embarrassment of the realization that she had indeed been inadvertantly staring at the tail end of a young human male who was working on the farm though she hadn't meant to or indeed known she was as she had been lost in her own mind.
"Well, I err umm Visa do you think humans and non-humans can bear children together and how would you handle it? Do you think a human is either capable or indeed ready to take on a hive?" she blurted out in rapid succession making the big Alpha Claw raise her eyebrows in surprise.
"Oh my these are heavy questions indeed little one, come walk with me," Visa said gesturing with her large hand to one side.
Vizzy fell in step with the large female Claw as they began to walk the perimeter of the town as Visa carried out a security check on their walls to ensure that nothing or no one had breached their sanctity during the night or indeed day.
"In answer to the first question I honestly do not know but it is indeed my hope that the power of mother nature can find a way for such a wonderful thing to occur, it may be the case that the two species in question are just too different for them to be blessed by such a miracle but for my part I truly hope that it may be a dream of mine that one day I will have a true pack of my own, with my beloved male stood right there at my side to help me lead them forwards into the future plus I think he'd make a great patriarch, though to be fair he probably is the only human I know who would be strong enough to handle a whole pack of rampaging juvenile Claws or Claw human hybrids as the case may be," Visa said with a chuckle that kinda made Vizzy smile as she had the mental image of Seven using his powers to contain and capture a whole pack of baby Claws scampering off in every direction possible.
"In answer to the second question I think that will depend entirely on the human in question, they are incredibly individualistic, now while Claws are obviously individuals too we tend to have a more scripted reaction to certain scenarios, but if you take a hundred different humans and give them the same task you'll get a hundred different methods to solve it, its kinda one of their biggest assets and charms in my opinion, no two are alike at all, now in the case of my Seven yes I do believe he could handle raising a pack and as istated it is my distinct hope and dream that one day I will be able to give him one, but in the same breath if such a thing never happens I will still be happy because I will have lived my life where I belong, at the side of the one I love most in this world," Visa siad proudly.
Vizzy thought on this for a few moments and then it really did hit her, Visa was right, if she truly loved the man and he loved her in the same way then it didn't really matter if they were able to start a hive just as long as they were together because if it did happen then they would deal with it as they dealt with everything that came their way, together as one.
"Ahh I see that the answer has come to you has it not little one?" Visa said and Vizzy smiled up at her.
"Yeah it has, it doesn't matter if I can or can't as long as I give my all to the one I love as he should to me and if it does happen then we can face it together," she said and Visa nodded.
"Exactly, now come along young one we have to plan an ambush and a hive to avenge while we aniliate raider scum, should be a fun day out I think," she said giving her a fang-filled grin.
Vizzy baled her fists and pounded them into the palms of her opposite open hands, "Sounds good to me, we're gonna burn those fuckers like they burned my brothers and sisters, so the 'Boss' is gonna know exactly how I and Varrel felt watching our hive burn to the ground when we burn her fucking little phiphdom to ashes before her eyes and I'm gonna show her what goes around comes around by letting her see exactly who did it before I run my stinger right through her cold fucking heart!" Vizzy snarled.
"Well said young one, well said, when we are done your entire hive will rest easy knowing their blood has been avenged and by one of their own no less," Visa snarled before clapping Vizzy on the back and leading her towards Seven's forge, the time was close at hand now, it was time to take the fight to them for once.
