Raven wrestles with some truths and makes plans for her next moves, while we learn that Glynda is about to join the show.
And we're introduced to another one of Jaune's sisters as she walks in on Jaune disrupting her work.
Chapter 19
"You alright?"
Raven looked away from the window. Glynda was giving her a look Raven hadn't really seen from her erstwhile schoolmate before.
"Just⦠a lot to take in, I think."
The blonde scoffed, an understanding smile dancing on her lips. "That's an understatement if I've ever heard one."
At that, Raven had to laugh. It was a hollow one, though she could still feel some humor in her own voice.
The Old Man had told them much. Things that at once made Raven feel very small in the grand scheme of things, but also made her wonder how much of all of those past events mattered right now.
So Ozma was ancient. Significantly older than any estimation - and even funnier, any exaggeration - Raven had before today.
"Do you believe any of it?"
Once more, Raven found herself looking outside the window. Part of her wished it was already nighttime, but it hadn't really taken Ozma that long to explain not only his history, but how it was relevant to what might be happening with the Arcs right now.
"That the Old Man is a lot older than we ever thought?" Raven chuckled as she walked to the windowsill. "Honestly? It's almost funny."
It was winding down into the late afternoon now. Many of the students were either training in the outdoor training grounds or going for walks into the castle's orchards. Raven, herself, remembered disappearing into the Emerald Forest to train on the Grimm when she couldn't be bothered to deal with her schoolmates. She was sure quite a few of them were there right now, and she had half a mind to go there herself just to de-stress.
But she still just felt so damn tired.
"As for the other bits?" She shrugged, looking over her shoulder to see Glynda take a seat on the bed of Raven's room for the next few days. "It's a little hard to swallow, but not much harder considering what I've seen. You?"
The other woman's shoulders slumped with such weight that Raven felt it, herself.
"It only makes too much sense." Glynda sighed, "And from what we've seen already - you from the war and me from seeing master Ozma work - we know that magic is real. Gods? The birth of the Grimm? The Shattered Moon? It's not much harder a pill to swallow."
Bright Green eyes sharpened as they met Raven's.
"The news you brought from Menagerie only makes me more sure. Magic like what you've described is the stuff of Legend, Raven. That Arc is able to bring that to bear now? And after Ozma's old enemy went silent for centuries? It can't be a coincidence."
It couldn't be.
A goddess. Or at least someone close enough to one had been behind the Grimm all this time. While the Old Man had explained that she more controlled the Grimm rather than created them, it gave her complicated feelings thinking about someone that had that much power. As well as the idea of there being one point holding the Grimm as a threat.
This⦠Salem had been Ozma's enemy since the time of the Old Kingdoms, and had schemed to end the Realms of Men since then, too. Cursed with the same immortality that seemed to plague Ozma, she'd remained an existential threat for more time than Raven cared to consider.
"For her to disappear at all is unlikely." Raven crossed her arms in thought, leaned against the window frame, "That the Grimm aren't acting out on Menagerie is telling."
Glynda sent her a raised, blonde brow, "Do you think she's in league with them?"
That was the most likely thing, wasn't it? It made the most sense.
"Arc has taken side with this god-witch-thing." She breathed, running through the idea out loud not only for Glynda's benefit but for her own, too. "She's given them boons. Power, magical might beyond anything we've seen in centuries as the Old Man has told us."
It was here that Raven ran into her issue.
"For what?" She asked, eyes meeting the blonde's, "Chaos? We're not seeing chaos right now. This is as clinical as it comes."
Glynda disagreed. Chaos seemed much easier to achieve if the goddess just increased the frequency of Grimm attacks. While it may have rallied some of the Kingdoms, having the frequency of attacks ramp up so quickly and so suddenly could catch many people off guard and have negative knock-on effects when refugees and bad news begin appearing at the capitals.
Raven was skeptical. This all felt⦠too orchestrated. And while she could also sense that Arc had something bigger planned after he was done with the Faunus of Menagerie, she didn't know to what end. Was it just conquest? Did this Salem suddenly change her mind about wiping out mankind and decided she wanted to take it over herself?
The discussion went on for longer than Raven could have anticipated after that. Both women went through each of the possibilities as well as what they'd be doing afterwards.
Glynda would be pushing through with the plan to go to Menagerie. She was going to be approaching Arc first on account of their having control over the ports. She'd be coming as an independent huntress sent there by Beacon Castle to assist with the handling of the expected increase in Grimm activity during wartime.
She wouldn't be coming alone, and there were plans being setup to allow her to make a breakout escape and join the resistance should the worst come to pass.
Part of why Raven had decided to extend her stay at Beacon Castle was to try and build-up a bond with her fellow huntress. While she couldn't always force the issue, giving her Semblance the opportunity to do so could only help, and she could beat a hasty retreat to Menagerie if it became necessary to come back anyway.
Which left what was to come next for Raven.
"I'll be headed to the Dark Continent. It'll be easier for me to go there after I finish my business with Vacuo. It'd be easier for me to head there from Vale, but Monte Cristo is in the way, and I'd rather not deal with them right now.
"After that," she shrugged, "I'll have to see. My plan is to return to Menagerie to help with things there, but it'll depend on what I find."
Her fingers twitched at the idea of being away from her family any longer. She was halfway across the world from them, and left them in a dangerous place surrounded by their enemies. Even Summer and Ruby, as unreachable as they were for her right now, were relatively close by.
But knowing what had happened to this Salem would help them figure out where Arc was getting all of this magical power from. Because if the armies of the other kingdoms won't be enough - if they should decide that this isn't a fight they're willing to act on - maybe that would.
~TtT~
"You know," She said, leaning against the doorframe to the room and crossing her arms, "It's a little hard to do my job when my student doesn't show up for her lessons, brother."
Coral Arc met her brother's amused look with a measured one of her own.
He broke first. Not that it was much of an achievement as far as she was concerned.
Especially when he was balls-deep in Summer Rose's asshole as she hopped up and down with such frenzy that Coral could see the woman's legs trembling in exertion and exhaustion. She wouldn't be surprised if the older woman collapsed unto her brother any moment now.
Jaune loosed a groan, Summer vibrating in the too-familiar signs of coming orgasm. Silver eyes rolled back into their sockets and Coral caught how Summer's distended belly tightened around her brother's length.
"Cu-Cu-Cumming!"
Girlcum sprayed out with such intensity that Coral saw it covering the older woman's daughter, Ruby almost sparkling as the droplets of her slave-mother's climax covered the bare skin revealed by her open robe. Vaguely, Coral saw the younger girl jilling herself to this, too.
She scoffed, shaking her head at how the girl had fallen into depravity. She hadn't even been branded like the faunus were.
Not that being branded seemed to be a requirement to being bound-up in her brother's proclivities, considering what had happened to her sister Saphron and the eldest Arc girl's wife, Terra.
"Hngggβ¦"
Her body shivered. Empty womb trembling as Coral's gaze locked unto Summer's cramping belly as her brother's cock crushed the elder Rose's womb. Coral's own fingers shook, nails digging into her forearms as she fought her climbing urges.
The bottom of her belly quavered, waves traveling up and down her abdomen as the very sight of Summer Rose's baby-room being crushed by her brother's all-too-familiar cockmeat sent her core hot and wet.
It would have only been too easy to press her fingers down on the outside of her womb, to enjoy the show and pleasure herself.
But Coral Arc knew better. If she did that, her knees would shake and her legs would give. She'd cum from the sight of her brother breaking someone else's womb, alone.
And that wouldn't be enough to satisfy her, either, so she'd ride it out and press on her womb again until she came. And then again, and again, and again.
Until she'd be joining Ruby Rose as an onahole-in-waiting on the floor. Less useful than even the two faunus slaves that were⦠trying to put lunch on the room's main table.
Two pairs of ultramarine eyes met, Jaune sending his sister a knowing look even as Coral saw his cloud with pleasure. He knew. He knew exactly what he was doing to her, and he was paying more attention to her than the hole he was using.
Coral would have considered it almost heartwarming if it wasn't sending her body into a nervous frenzy of arousal.
"Ahhhβ¦ J-Jauneβ¦"
The air grew thick and muggy, more so than when she'd opened the door and was hit with the stench of sex and hot food. Coral's hands grew clammy and she could feel the building sheen of sweat on her bare skin. Even the thin robe she wore was soaking it all up.
"Youβ¦ Hngggβ¦" He was grinning now. Coral couldn't help but smile back even though her glasses were beginning to fog up. She gasped as her too-empty pussy clenched and her pelvis thrust forward in some bastardization of an offering. Damn him. "You asked for my help."
"I⦠Haaaaah⦠I did, didn't I?" Jaune's eyes cleared up as he addressed her, if only for a moment. His own hips thrusting up and catching Summer Rose on the downstroke so suddenly that Coral would have been sure that his cock would pierce through the older woman's womb and stomach both to stab out through her skin.
"AIEEEEEEEE!"
Instead, Summer's body practically throbbed as a single organ as another orgasm was forced from her. Already strained legs giving out and fully falling unto Jaune's cock as strength failed her. Only her brother's cock kept the woman upright at all, and Jaune's girth made it clear how much of Summer's body was hanging off the cock stuffed up intestinal tract.
"But I'm so close." Not even Coral's clouding mind could miss how facetious Jaune's voice sounded, "And I haven't had you in a while, my favorite sister."
A low moan broke from between her lips, and Coral's legs finally surrendered at the sheer warmth that burst outward from her womb at Jaune's words.
Damn sentimental idiot.
But Coral couldn't. She wouldn't pleasure herself. She wouldn't. Teeth gnawed at her lower lip as she did her best to not let her fingers approach her core.
Jaune's heaving breaths rang loud in her ears, overpowering even Summer's sweet whimpers to the point that the rest of the room began to fade away. He was holding back.
And he still wouldn't take his eyes off of her.
"You⦠Ahhh⦠you asked me to teach Ruby, Jaune."
Briefly her eyes darted to the girl she'd been brought to Menagerie to mentor as Jaune continued his campaign.
She didn't think Ruby could even see anything at this point, glazed as her eyes were. Her expression was that of an animal overcome by her baser urges. Her tongue lolled out and her breaths came in wet and heavy pants. Coral could see drool hanging off her tongue and rivulets of sweat running down the center of the younger girl's tits and tummy.
Ruby squirmed as her fingers worked her sodden lips, hips gyrating in ways unbecoming of someone of her station.
Not that it was anything new for Coral to see. She'd seen Saphron and Terra reduced to blubbering messes as her brother stuffed them both with cock and cum. Living fuckholes he sometimes strung up so he could fuck them against him with ease.
Her own thighs ached to be rubbed together, and her womb still yearned to be crushed by something - cock. It wanted cock.
"Doβ¦ Do you actually want me toβ¦ Hmmmβ¦" her hips jerked up, the pleasant heat pooling at her core ramping up in intensity as the rest of her body warmed. "... waste the day away?"
Summer was cumming again. Girlcum turned into a fine mist as she shot her juices into the air when Jaune all but dragged his cock out through her stretched ass-pussy. Her bright pink walls clung to him like a second skin, and Coral waited with bated breath to see if the woman might prolapse.
It hadn't happened, but it was a close thing. And instead Coral was greeted with the glistening sight of her younger brother's turgid penis.
"Rumi." Jaune almost snapped. Voice called like a spring in much the same way his balls looked to be. "Clean me."
The rabbit faunus was on him immediately.
Broken thing. She trembled in the slip of cloth she wore as daily clothing, her arousal obvious in the way it dripped down her thighs beneath her too-short skirt. Gagging filled the air as she took the fresh cock to the base in a single, determined motion.
Coral had known Rumi before the brand, had known the warrior she had once been. A gem that shone so brilliantly that some would have argued she'd been the royal guard's crowning jewel during her time in service.
Perhaps that had been what drew Jaune to her. Her brash confidence, her excitement at a good fight, and a strong sense of justice that shone through even when she was off looking for a new challenge. Jaune had always been drawn to strong women, fierce women. Even just looking at the ones he had with him. Cinder, Winter. Cinder was quite the fighter still and while much of Winter's fiery spirit had been fucked out of her, she'd been a firebrand in her own right despite her icy name.
Even now, with Eve and Sienna. Even Blake and Yang and Raven to come. All strong and independent women.
Coral, too, to some degree, but she'd been drawn to her brother almost as much as he'd been to her. He'd taken her first, after all. Before anyone else.
The former royal guard released her brother's cock with a sloppy pop. Strings that Coral knew Jaune liked to see from his girls whenever they took him down their tight throats. Strings that snapped as Rumi reached out and grabbed them with her hand and began slurping them like an animal.
Jaune glistened, shone. And Coral looked at how angry and red his member had become now. He was close. As close as she knew she was to cumming from just watching all of this. What an easy woman she'd become for this man. She'd have almost been disappointed in herself if she hadn't been as wired as her brother was.
Licking her lips, Coral stumbled to her feet and towards Summer Rose's bed. The woman was panting, her arms hanging off the edge while two pairs of Arc ultramarine eyes locked together.
"C'mon, sis," Despite how cool he tried to play it, Coral could catch the breathiness in Jaune's voice. The tension. "You've been too busy with Ruby."
Coral swallowed, "Is that why you had us brought here? Did you want me close?" Her thighs quavered at the idea. "You could have come home anytime. I have duties back homeβ¦"
She wanted to reach out, to wrap her fingers around the spongy head that was still wet with Rumi's throatslop. She wanted to reach into the folds of her plush robe and push at her hungry, hungry womb and relieve some of the pressure building there.
"Raven's afoot." Jaune answered, his own arm reaching out to wrap around her and pull her closer to him. His hand was hot, scorching even through her clothes, "And this is her family. Nowhere is safe unless you're with me."
"Bold of you to assume she doesn't have the balls to just go for you. And weren't we in danger anyway?"
She felt his cock press against her womb.
"Hngggggβ¦"
Coral's whole body shivered at the sensation, muted as it was by the thick robe between them. Her eyes rolled upwards, and she very nearly lost control of her legs again.
Jaune, darling Jaune, had noticed and caught her before she fell. Cradled her against him while her hand - naughty, disobedient, horny hand - wrapped its shuddering fingers around his scorching and slimy length.
"Do you feel that?" Her brother whispered, the grin apparent in his voice as her hand lazily stroked him up and down. His breath brushed against her blonde hair, "Feel me throb for you, Coral?"
She did. First flame, she did. Coral swallowed and her throat went dry, hand gripping Jaune's length more firmly as she built herself up to a faster pace. His cockhead wept precum even though it needed no further lubrication after the throatslime and spit that Rumi had coated his cock in. Still, Coral took the compliment for what it was and let loose a pleased hum as she jerked her brother to completion.
They must have cut quite the sight. She knew it must have been different from the way he treated all of the other girls here.
Jaune whispered into her hair, took deep and almost hungry breaths of her pixie-bob hair as he laughed, gasped, and sighed in the throes of her ministrations. His hand ran gentle circles on the bare skin of her thighs through the gap between the folds of her robes. It was gentle, endearing, affectionate.
She knew he never treated anyone else like this. Not even Saphron. Not even Cinder, though Coral knew enough that Cinder was more than happy to play as rough as Jaune liked to.
No. Her brother's affection was reserved only for her. Even though she was more than happy to play to his ego, she adored it when he was gentle.
Though, Coral thought with a little grin, there wasn't anything gentle about how hard his cock was.
"Cum for me, Lord Jaune." She whispered as she pressed her lips against the side of his neck, enjoying the scent of drying sweat and the faint musk of Summer's juices on him. "I want to rub you over my womb, remind my body who owns it."
Ruby could afford to take the day off. It had been too damn long since she'd had Jaune to herself. Who cared if they had an audience? She certainly didn't, and Jaune liked it when his slaves watched him.
Besides, Coral liked to show off how much her man loved her.
