Ava walked through the busy halls of her new university heading towards her dorm room. It was the start of the semester and everyone was excited to start their college life. While some wanted to study hard, ace their exams and graduate. A lot of other people just wanted to have fun and party. Ava was in the first group of people.

Trying to avoid bumping into anyone, she managed to reach the dorms and locate her room. Behind her she pulled her luggage and on her back was her backpack, both filled with clothes, books and some other belongings.

Taking the key she received from her pocket, she unlocked her door and walked inside, closing it as she passed. The room was empty though she knew sometime soon her roommate would arrive as well. She didn't know who it was, but she really hoped it would be another girl. This college seemed to support mixed rooms, and some girls would end up with boys as their roommate.

Wanting to make the best of the time she still had alone, she picked the bed on the right and started unpacking, setting her belongings and decorating her side of the room before her roommate arrived.

[Assistant]
Vanessa stood out like a wolf among sheep as she made her way through the dorms in search of her room. Not only did Vanessa easily have a foot on most every other girl in the university, but she also had the build to make even the tough guys think twice. Though the serpent looked quite intimidating dressed in a black mini skirt, ripped black leggings, and crop top that barely hid her rather full bust, Vanessa was far from evil or mean, though she really didn't mind how people seemed to move out of the way for her.

Finally, reaching her room Vanessa pulled her luggage to a halt and reached into her purse for the key. Opening the door to her room for the year Vanessa quickly realized she had not beaten her roommate to the room as she had hoped to.

"Hello," Vanessa hissed in greeting with a smile, as she entered the room and tossed her luggage onto the free bed. "I'm Vanessa, but sssince we're going to be friendsss you can just call me V," Vanessa explained, as she looked around the room. Finishing her inspection of their room Vanessa's bright luminescent eyes settled on her dalmatian roommate. Vanessa could not deny that she found her roommate rather attractive.

"You play sssports or are you here for the education?" Vanessa asked, seeing no point in not trying to build a connection with her new roommate, after all it was something the serpent was pretty good at.

[User]
It didn't take long for Ava to hear her door opening again. She had her back to the door but sighed in relief when she noticed the voice greeting her was feminine. Her roommate was another girl. Thank god.

She turned around as the girl introduced herself. Ava almost froze as she saw her roommate. She was... big, and gorgeous. She seemed like the type of girl who takes no shit from nobody and had that intimidating air around her. At least, that was the first impression she had of her, before seeing her smile and her posture in front of Ava. The snake girl didn't seem mean or anything, her smile suggesting maybe she was friendly.

"Oh... hi. I'm... I'm Ava." The dalmatian replied shyly, she wasn't used to speaking with others much, and Vanessa was very beautiful. She reminded her of the popular type of girl she always saw during high school but never talked to. "I'm... I'm here for education..." She answered her question, having a bit of difficulty in keeping eye contact.

[Assistant]
Smiling Vanessa listened to the dalmatian, having already guessed that she had come to the university for a different reason then herself. On grades and educational skills alone Vanessa would have barely made it into a public college, she would have never had a chance at a school as rigorous or prestigious as First University. Luckily for the serpent's other skills opened doors that were closed to many other students.

"That'sss good to know," Vanessa replied, as her eyes finished looking over the dalmatian before moving her eyes to meet Ava's. "Hopefully we are in a few classsesss together, becaussse I am going to need sssome help," Vanessa added, as she followed the canines gaze to her large and very prominent chest.

"They're real," Vanessa explained, looking back at her new friend to see how she would react to being caught. Though others might be prim and proper, the serpent was not afraid to make people uncomfortable, especially when they happened to be a rather pretty little canine.

[User]
Ava blushed profusely when she realized she'd been staring at the girl's breasts. She didn't do it on purpose though, she was just trying to figure her out when her attention was drawn to her voluptuous chest. She couldn't avoid it, her own weren't that big and it usually made her feel a bit inferior compared to other girls.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to stare" She apologized embarrassed. "I hope we can get along..." She tried smiling, although still a bit shy. "I didn't know if you would take long to arrive... so I picked out my bed when I got here. We can switch though if you prefer this one."

[Assistant]
Even if the canine's eyes had not been fixated on her chest Vanessa could not deny she was glad she had assumed so. "Are you trying to change the sssubject," Vanessa teased Ava with a smile, as the cute canine tried to change the subject to that of their sleeping arrangements, which the serpent really didn't care about. Seeing the shy canine flustered and trying not to stare made Vanessa quite excited.

"Wanna sssee em without a ssshirt?" Vanessa asked with a smirk, turning the conversation back to her breasts. Always the naughty one and willing to push things as far as she could Vanessa didn't hesitate to lift her top. Gripping the bottom of her crop top Vanessa pulled her shirt up, causing her large breasts to jiggle and bounce free of the fabric that had been hiding them. With her long tongue slipping between her lips Vanessa watched for Ava's reaction at seeing her naked breasts and pierced nipples for the first time.

[User]
"N-No... I'm not trying to change the subject..." Ava replied, trying to keep her composure. It was hard for her to interact with new people. Having lived most of her life at home. She only really went to school during high school, before that she was home tutored. _Maybe this was normal?_ She thought. _Some small teasing between new roommates? Maybe she's just trying to break the ice... in a very intimate and strange way._

Her next question made Ava blush even more as she stumbled with her words. "Wha... wai... wat...?" And before she could actually form a sentence, the snake girl lifted her shirt, revealing her gorgeous full breasts. Ava didn't know how to react and simply stared with her mouth open as she tried to process this. Vanessa's nipples were pierced and she wasn't wearing any bra. The shy dalmatian took a step back without thinking and ended up tripping, falling backwards on her bed.

[Assistant]
Vanessa was very pleased with the reaction she got out of the canine. Laughing a little Vanessa watched as the flustered dog tripped back onto her bed. "I take it, you're not really usssed to thisss kind of teasssing?" Vanessa explained, giving Ava a little bit extra time to stare at her naked breasts before pulling her crop top back down.

"It's a ssshame though, I wouldn't have minded ssseeing what you're hiding under that cute top," Vanessa added teasingly, her eyes looking down from Ava's face to her chest. Even though the canine might not think herself pretty, Vanessa could not have imagined a prettier roommate if she had tried, plus her innocence was quite attractive to a woman that was far from virgin.

[User]
The fall have seemed to be enough to make Ava's brain start working again. She was still very flustered but at least able to form sentences again. "You would be right... I'm not very used to it..." she admitted, adjusting her hair behind her ear as she stood back up. She looked at the snake girl in shock after her next comment. _Why would she say something like that? She doesn't think I'm... attractive or anything right? We're both girls after all._

Ava took a quick breath and realized it was probably just some more of her teasing. It was already obvious she would need to adjust quite a lot to her personality, but all in all, she didn't seem to be a bad person so far. "So, ahm, V..." She felt a bit weird calling her by a nickname so quick "Why did you come to this university? Since you also asked me that."

[Assistant]
After taking one last look at the canine and seeing that she wasn't going to follow her example Vanessa turned around and unzipped the larger of her two suitcases. "I'll help you get usssed to it if you want," Vanessa explained, looking back over her shoulder to smile at her roommate.

"I ssshould warn you though I am quite comfortable with my body, ssso I hope you won't be bothered if I walk around naked after a ssshower or while I'm getting ready for the day," Vanessa added, as she returned her focus to her luggage.

"Oh ya, I'm here for sssportsss," Vanessa answered, taking a couple of shirts out of her bag and moving over to put them in the provided dresser. "Luckily for me thisss ssschool isss looking for more than just sssmart people. I fought in the ring in high ssschool and was ranked one of the top ten fightersss in the country for my age group. I'm alssso a pretty decent sssprinter," Vanessa explained, not cocky enough to say that she was number one out of the top ten or that she had set quite a few records for her highschool track team.

"Sssports is really the only reassson I am here, I'm dumb asss a brick most of the time. Which isss why I'm probably gonna need help," Vanessa continued, as she unpacked her bag and began to put her things away.

[User]
"I see." Ava replied. "I'm sure I'll get used to it... after a while." She flustered thinking of seeing her roommate naked most of the time, but turned around to finish unpacking her things as Vanessa did the same.

As she thought, Vanessa was here because of sports. Not that she thought she wasn't smart or anything, but she had the build of an athlete. Being a fight made sense, and she could kinda see her as a track runner. But again, she had no idea about anything sports related.

"Well, I'll try to help as best as I can." Ava never tutored anyone before, although she definitely had the knowledge for it. She loved reading and studying, maybe teaching someone else wouldn't be so hard.

[Assistant]
"I'm sssure you're jussst sssuper sssmart and don't want to tell me," Vanessa explained, continuing to unpack her things. Though the dorm rooms came with a lot of the stuff the students would need, like a desk, bed, dresser, and a few other things, it was all so simple and quite boring and in desperate need of a makeover.

"Ssso tell me sssomething ssspecial about you that like you don't just tell other people," Vanessa questioned her new friend, ready to start the bonding instead of waiting through the acquired small talk. "I once jumped out of a plane and lived to tell about it. When I wasss growing up my mom taught me to dressss like thisss. She was sssuper sssupportive of my life choicesss and even though other momsss would talk about her behind her back ssshe never cared and you know we'd alwaysss attract attention wherever we went," Vanessa explained happily, giving the canine some information about her past in hopes it would in turn give her an idea of what kind of stuff she wanted to know about her new friend.

[User]
Ava sat on her bed as Vanessa shared some stories with her. Her mouth opened in disbelief when she told about surviving jumping off a plane. "That's... really amazing." Was all she managed to reply. She smiled hearing about her mother though. It was nice to know Vanessa had a supportive mother. She knew if it were her own parents or other women friends of her mother, none of them would tolerate those clothes and look. She didn't condemn her look of course though. Ava actually thought Vanessa was gorgeous with her look.

"Well... I don't have any amazing stories to share. My parents raised me with care. I was home tutored up until high school, and even then nothing really amazing happened." Her hand took a strand of hair and moved it behind her ear. "Well... ahm... I did get the highest grades in high school. If you consider that to be interesting"

[Assistant]
"Well I had a parachute," Vanessa giggled, "ssso not that amazing." Having already guessed Ava came from a more sheltered background Vanessa was not surprised to learn that her new friend had been tutored at home burning her younger days. Vanessa also wasn't surprised to learn that her roommate had some academic prowess.

"You definitely going to have to help me," Vanessa laughed with a smile, as she finished putting away the last of her clothes from her first suitcase. Taking a break Vanessa sat down on her bed and looked across at her roommate.

"I wasss hoping for more juice information. Like, you ever been to a club or you know had sssex. Tell me sssomething juicy," Vanessa explained, with a smile. "That isss asss long asss you want to, you don't have to ssshare if you don't want to," Vanessa added, knowing it could be difficult for some people to open up like she could.

[User]
Ava blushed a little bit while smiling, it was weird hearing someone who wasn't her parents praising her for something, but it felt nice. "I'll do my best" She replied to her request of helping her with studies, so far Vanessa seemed to be nice, even if a bit... too straight forward.

And then she seemed to go back to how she was just a bit ago. Which made Ava blush profusely again and look away embarrassed. "I-I-I don't really have any... juicy... stories..." She managed to reply. It was amazing for her how open and relaxed Vanessa was. "I've never been to a club or anything before. And... I... I..." Ava's cheeks were deep pink as she looked at her fingers, she poked one finger with the other.

"I never... I... I never had... s-s-sex..." This last sentence she spoke so softly it was barely audible.

[Assistant]
Vanessa gave Ava a warm smile as she explained that she had never really done anything juicy. "Girl you got nothing to be assshamed of," Vanessa explained seeing how Vanessa reacted to the question.

"I actually think it'sss pretty cute," Vanessa added, continuing to just grow more attracted to the cute dalmatian, "plusss it'sss never too late to do that ssstuff if you want to. After all college isss sssupposed to be a pretty great place to explore and get out of your comfort zone."

"If you want, I can help you explore sssome of that ssstuff. I've ssspent quite a bit of time at clubsss and doing other fun ssstuff. My mom dancesss at a club, ssso it'sss probably a little different for me though," Vanessa offered, again not really afraid to share with Ava, even though they had just met.

[User]
"You... you think I'm... cute?" Ava blushed and looked away. She didn't understand why the girl made her react like this. Never had anyone called her cute before, and even though she was also a girl, it made her all flustered.

"I... I don't know... going to a club doesn't seem like something I'd be comfortable going to. A lot of people... everyone drinking. I've never even drinked before..." Ava didn't know what else to say. Was Vanessa... interested in her? No right? But she didn't know if she was lesbian... she didn't ask that... how could she ask that?

[Assistant]
"Of courssse I do," Vanessa replied with a smile. "You look even cuter when you blusssh like that," the serpent added, as her new friend once more showed her shy, innocent side. The more she looked at the young, beautiful canine the more Vanessa became intransed.

Ava's innocent beauty fed Vanessa's far less innocent mind and made her hungry to find out more about her roommate. The thoughts Vanessa had going through her brain mixed with the natural beauty of Ava, caused the serpent's hidden member to start to creep out of its sheath. Noticing her own growing arousal and not wanting to make Ava any more uncomfortable then she already was Vanessa rose to her feet.

"Wanna go look around and then go ssshopping, I need to get sssheetsss and ssstuff for my bed," Vanessa explained, as she picked up her purse and tossed it into a black backpack that had been in her larger suitcase. Though she hoped Ava wouldn't see it, Vanessa could feel herself getting hard under her mini skirt which wasn't the best at hiding her bulge when she got worked up.

[User]
Ava did her best to hide her embarressment, which was pretty hard when her face was all red like a tomato. _She's just teasing me, right? Playful friend teasing._ The dalmatian thought to herself, knowing absolutely nothing about flirting since nobody has ever done it to her.

"That... would be rather nice. I haven't seen anything around campus yet. Though, at this hour, I think everyone is going to be out and everywhere is going to be crowded." Once again, not used to being around lots of people at a time, Ava wasn't sure if it was a good idea. But she was enjoying her roommate's company, even if she liked to tease her so much

[Assistant]
"Just ssstick with me and you'll be fine," Vanessa explained, glad that Ava hadn't noticed her arousal. Tossing her backpack on, Vanessa led the way out of the dorm room into the hallway which still bustled with plenty of new students. Once more creating a path in front of her Vanessa walked out of the dorms and into the rest of the large university campus.

First University had a very large campus with both modern buildings like the dorms and old stone and marble buildings that had been up for centuries. During this time of year when all the new students were arriving the campus looked especially pretty. With no real destination and not really knowing the layout, Vanessa just started to walk down a random path. There were only two things the serpent really wanted to check out right now, the sports facility and the cafeteria.

"You ever wanted to ride on a motorcycle?" Vanessa asked her companion randomly, as they walked down the path towards what ended up being a large and very fancy marble library. "You want to go inside?" Vanessa asked, having little interest herself, but more than happy to keep her new friend company.

[User]
Not really having anything to say in reply, Ava simply grabbed her small backpack she used when she needed to carry only her essentials, wallet, phone, id, then followed Vanessa out of their room. Just as she imagined, the hallway was filled with other students. Some coming in and out of rooms, others just standing around, talking with others. Without thinking much, she followed the snake's suggestion and walked close to her, almost touching her body close.

Thankfully once out of the dorm areas, they had more open space to walk and less students to avoid bumping into. Now, without the rush to finding her dorm room, Ava was able to appreciate the beauty of the campus. Lots of grass and trees. The buildings were gorgeously built. "A motorcycle?" She asked in reply, the question catching her by surprise. "I never thought about riding one." she answered honestly.

Together, the two girls walked around randomly before stopping at what seemed to be the College's Library. Ava smiled widely when Vanessa asked if she wanted to go inside. "Oh yes please." she said already opening the door. "We won't stay long. I know this must be the last place you thought of visiting on our first day here..."

[Assistant]
"Hey, I've spent plenty of time in the library, I mean that where they had us go for detention," Vanessa explained as she followed the canine into the library that put her high school one to shame.

"Would you wanna ride on my motorcycle sometime?" Vanessa asked following up her earlier question. The idea of having Ava's arms wrapped tightly around her, while her smaller canine body pressed into her back, sent a shiver of pleasure down the serpent's spine. Letting Ava take the lead Vanessa followed her new canine friend deeper into the library.

"I might not be the biggest fan of reading, but I love but I love the smell of them," Vanessa whispered as she looked around the library.

[User]
Ava couldn't help but let out a quick giggle as Vanessa corrected her. She wouldn't agree that staying in the library for detention was the same thing. She walked into the huge room, admiring the huge number of shelves, all filled with the most various types of books.

Vanessa asked her about motorcycles again, and even though Ava was already expecting more similar questions, she still blushed slightly at her question. She had no idea how to drive a motorcycle, and the only other way she knew how to ride one, was how she always saw on TV. With the person sitting behind, wrapping her arms around the other and pressing herself close.

"I... I guess... I mean... It's safe right? If we ever want to go somewhere... sure. That would be nice." This was probably the best sentence Ava managed to say all day without stuttering too much or blushing like crazy.

But when the topic came back to books, she quickly went back to her normal, nerdy self and smiled. "Oh, I know right? New books smell soo good. And old books sometimes have such a nice smell too. Nothing is better than opening up a newly bought book and flipping through the pages before starting to read."

[Assistant]
"I mean I'm pretty sssafe, haven't crassshed yet," Vanessa replied to Ava's first comment. Tapping her knuckles on the wood of a book shelf Vanessa added, "plusss, it'sss a lot fassster than having to ride the busss around town." Vanessa's mother had driven her car with the suitcases in it, just so Vanessa could follow her on her bike, meaning that in the student parking lot a sports bike was waiting for the serpent if she needed it, which she hoped she would soon.

"I don't know about the reading part, but I agree," Vanessa giggled, trying to keep her voice down, as her appearance had already gotten the attention of some of the grumpy looking librarians. "You read a lot?" Vanessa asked, as she followed her friend. Vanessa didn't want to rush Ava, so she tried to be interested in the books and the beautiful oak shelves that held them, but still Vanessa spent more time just looking at the dalmatian as she took in the many shelves and books that filled the library.

[User]
Ava didn't know if she should be worried or relaxed from Vanessa's comment about not having crashed her bike yet. Still, she managed to smile at that and kept walking between the shelves of books. Casually checking her favorite genres to see what books they had here.

"Yeah, it's pretty easy to tell huh?" she blushed a bit embarrassed. "Whenever I'm not studying I'm almost always reading something. Guess that kinda didn't help much at making friends during high school." Ava's smile suddenly went away a bit as she remembered the last three years she spent in high school. They weren't horrible or anything, but she did feel pretty lonely a lot.

[Assistant]
"Hey," Vanessa explained, placing a gentle hand on Ava's shoulder, "it takesss sssome people more time than others to get usssed to sssocializing and sssometimes it'sss jussst hard to make friendsss." Vanessa might have a lot of athletic skills, but she also had a special way with people.

"Trussst me, you don't have anything to be sssorry about or assshamed of," Vanessa continued smiling at her dalmatian friend. "I mean look at you, you've already made one new friend," Vanessa added, as she finally pulled Ava into a hug. A hugger, Vanessa had been dying to give her new friend a hug, plus it meant she finally got to touch the cute dalmatian. Vanessa guessed that her size was probably going to make the hug a little aquerid for the shy canine.

Vanessa's mom had taught her from a very young age that everyone was different and that everyone was worth their weight in gold, so while others might have picked on Ava and treated her differently, Vanessa opened herself up to the shy dalmatian and saw her for who she was. "Let'sss go keep exploring," Vanessa explained, as she released her friend and took the lead once more and started back towards the entrance.

"I want to go find the sssportsss facilitiesss," Vanessa added, as they walked outside and could talk in their normal voices once more. Setting off with no map or idea of where she was Vanessa started her search for the university's sports facilities.

[User]
Ava was looking down to the ground when Vanessa started comforting her. Raising her head after the snake girl placed her hand on her shoulder, the canine seemed unable to stop looking in her eyes. Her words made her blush, even more when her new friend hugged her. _She really already considers me a friend?_ she, smaller, almost melted into the larger one's hug. Even her parents never showed affection like this. They weren't bad parents, no no. But hugging? She couldn't remember the last time they hugged her. This felt... very nice.

"Thank you..." she spoke softly into her shoulder as she softly wrapped her own arms around her friend. Her face was a deep pink but she was happy by this. "Let's see the rest of the campus." she agreed when Vanessa let her go. Walking behind her, still flustered but with a gentle smile on her face, Ava followed her out of the library.

It made sense that she wanted to find the sports building. That's why she came to this college in the first place. "I think I saw a pool on my way to our room, the building is probably near there."


[User]
Derek listened to her rather unsettling description of exactly what she were to do if he betrayed her trust, shaking his head. "I definitely have no intentions of backing out of our deal, I've heard enough stories in my lifetime about you to consider that a good idea." He assured her, cautiously optimistic. If he could regularly visit his sister, well, that would be a dream come true. He could make sure she was doing well, that her sickness had not returned.

As she cut him down quite suddenly Derek hit the floor with a rough groan, glad at least to feel the blood rushing out of his head and back into the rest of his body. He stretched with a groan, getting up and pulling up his pants. He watched as she expertly started to craft a makeshift sleeping spot for him, which made him curious. "So... what exactly are you going to do with me? I mean, I understand your attraction to jewelry, but besides that and using me as food... I'm not really sure what you intend to do with me the other five days of the week."

Derek looked around a little as he spoke, seeing the remains of some of her previous house guests littered about... maybe she'd have him clean up a bit around here, the place could surely use it.

[Assistant]
Vespira had lived in the cave for centuries, even before his village settled outside the forest. She had been the antagonist in their tales for more than a single lifetime. The drider was curious if there were anymore lies about her that she had yet to hear. Finishing up her chore, she leaped down from her perch, landing just shy of his stance.

"Oh, was I not clear on my intentions?" she chirped innocently, slipping her arms around his waist from behind. Burying her face into the warm crook of his neck, his heady scent filled her nose, an entirely male mixture of smoke and earth with an underlying layer of freshness. The sex-starved spider purred, rubbing her cheek along his jawline to share his intoxicating smell. Meanwhile, her wandering hands stroked from his abdomen to his chest, pulling his shirt along with them. "Driders are a dying species. I have tried for centuries to lure a male to my lair so that we may save what is left of our kind, but none have answered my songs and my eggs need fertilized. I was about to give up hope when you came, willing to submit to me for only a bit of my venom". Her thumbs found his nipples and attempted to rub the dusky nubs erect as her breasts pressed into his back. "Our spawn may not be of pureblood, but they will still have the genes to pass on to future generations".

[User]
It seemed the drider was rather quick and agile despite her size, easily able to outmaneuver, slipping close from behind and pressing close to him. He was frightened when she nuzzled against him, thinking for a moment she was about to take a bite out of his neck. However, as she made her intentions clear, rubbing against him seductively, he was more confused than aroused.

"You want me to... have sex with you?..." He asked, already knowing the answer, but still unable to really believe it. "Is this some sort of trick? I mean... how would I even..." It seemed her potential mate wasn't quite as eager as she was at the prospect of having sex with her, which considering he still wasn't completely sure she wasn't going to eat him at some point probably made sense. "Like, right now?" He asked. He wasn't exactly in the mood to fuck a giant spider monster, not that he figured she cared how he felt about the matter, although it was becoming clear that he wasn't growing aroused by her touch as she may have expected him to.

[Assistant]
Vespira felt a slight prick of annoyance at his reaction. In drider culture, once a female makes a move, the male instantly reciprocates and the act begins. There is no hesitation, no lack of interest, no time to think, just the carnal dance of bodies to satisfy their urges. Still, despite his clear reluctance, she kept him close, enjoying the touch of his skin and the irresistible heat radiating off his body. Her kind were cold-blooded, so the drider could not help but absorb what warmth he gave. "My naïve little pet", she tut-tutted, releasing his nipples. He obviously still thought she was going to devour him, even though she had wasted plenty of time explaining otherwise."If I wanted to partake in that yummy flesh of yours, you would already be strung up and pumped full of venom. Not walking freely about my lair. I don't seduce my food". Still, he seemed apprehensive, especially about the dynamics of their possible intercourse.

She released him from her embrace, rather begrudgingly, and stepped back. "Well, if you want to reduce the consequential effort that will go into our fornication as mere sex, then yes, I want you to have sex with me. However, i'm not just looking for sex. I want you to breed me". Curling her legs beneath her abdomen, she leaned her torso back to reveal a diamond-shaped piece of her carapace covering her pelvis. "If you are concerned about my anatomy, I assure you my flower is just the same as your human women". She peeled back the armor to reveal a very human-like vulva, using her forefinger and middle finger to pull apart her lips to let her womanhood blossom. The sensitive flesh was a lovely dark pink and glistening with her juices.

[User]
Derek wasn't exactly reassured by her describing him as yummy... although from a human woman it probably would have been quite the turn on. The idea of him breeding her was quite the strange thought... but not nearly as surprising as when she revealed her very human looking sex to him. Most women he had met certainly weren't that forward, and with her top half looking so human, it did certainly have some effect on him despite his apprehension on the subject. "Wow... well... I mean... usually before humans... mate... We usually know the other persons name. Do you have a name? Or..." This was certainly a strange situation for him to be in, and he was sure he wasn't entirely processing everything... but there was an instinctual level to him that certainly understood sex, and that's all it cared about.

She could probably see the outline of his cock as he started to get hard... it was hardly a subtle change after all, when fully erect he was a solid ten inches in length, and the pants he had worn weren't exactly good at hiding it. "I mean... I don't suppose you'd be up to... talking a little bit first? I mean... how many kids would you be wanting to have? Would they... would they put the town in danger? People in danger?" He had accepted being eaten by her, but he didn't think he could sacrifice other people's safety, even if it was to save his own sister...

[Assistant]
Seeing that her open sex was getting under his skin, she made a show circling a finger around her swollen bud and bringing it to her lips for a taste. "My name is Vespira", she answered coolly, sitting up with a devious smile. "And I suppose you want me to know your name?" These matters were all trivial! She never knew the names of her partners back in her youth. There was simply no need, not when they came to her for one thing and one thing only. But, Vespira will tolerate his game. Over the centuries she has gotten to know human behavior well, and one of their more aggravating characteristics was their intense yearning for connection. They even have these ridiculous rituals before mating, such as creating a bond, like her new pet was attempting to do. Her many glowing eyes caught the front of his pants stretching from a very evident erection. She felt triumphant in making the poor man hard, but the feeling was quashed by his continued chatter.

"You are trying my patience, human", she growled low, tapping a sharp black claw on her temple. "I am trying to remain civil, but you keep stalling my advances. You are in no position to be controlling the situation and asking favors". This is what she gets for sparing such a lowly member of his species. The drider offered him mercy, the very monster that haunts the dreams of children and adults alike, and suddenly he has the gall to play with her like an eaisly-manipulated hatchling. "Every clutch I lay will yield at least a few dozen hatchlings. Contrary to what your people believe, spiderlings are harmless and don't produce venom until adolescence. After they leave the nest, their life is as they make of it. We do not just attack humans for no reason. Your town and your sister are safe".

She leaned back once again, presenting her pretty petals for him. "Now, if you want to continue talking without forceful measures, come and relieve us of your tentativeness. I can see your ready for me".

[User]
Derek was a bit hesitant... what she said if anything raised more questions than it answered. If her kind didn't kill humans without cause, what was with all the stories he had heard in his youth about her?... How did she know that they would be able to reproduce?... Had she had other human partners in the past? All of these questions were swirling in his head... but for now it seemed she was out of patience when it came to his questions, and although he wasn't sure he could trust her word on the fact that he wouldn't be leading to more deaths... well, he couldn't risk her seeing his refusal as reason to take her frustrations out on his sister. Hell, she was unlikely to become pregnant from the first go of it anyways, even if they could reproduce in the first place.

He sighed, taking a deep breath... when this day had started, he sure hadn't seen it leading to his fucking a giant spider in a cave... but he supposed it was a better fate than dying. He started to undress, showing that he was in fact living up to his end of the bargain. "Alrighty... well... here goes nothing." He said, tossing his shirt aside before removing his pants and shorts. His cock wasn't quite fully erect just yet, but it was still rather impressive, and would have been an intimidating sight for a human woman, but he had the feeling it took more than that to make someone like her nervous. "By the way... my name is Derek, Derek Flint." He said, walking up to her.

Taking his cock in hand he rubbed the thick head along her wet slit, trying to focus on the parts of her that were recognizably human... before slowly pressing forward. His thick length would be quite the stretch, especially considering she hadn't mated in quite a long time. She may not have been human, but she sure felt like it. He let out an involuntary groan as he sank into her silky depths, feeling her body hug him tight. Leaning in he buried his face in her neck, figuring that would help him ignore the fact that she wasn't entirely human. He kissed along the side of the pulse in her neck, a rather intimate and unnecessary action on his part, no doubt something she wouldn't have experienced with a drider male. His thrusts started out slow, actually seeming to care about her comfort, but slowly building up speed, making her take every last inch of his cock that her body could take, the blunt head bumping against her cervix repeatedly over and over again, stretching her to her absolute limit.

[Assistant]
As he stripped, her foul mood changed, turning into one of lust. Her view of him clothed from afar painted him as a fit mortal, certainly attractive, but naked he was a finer specimen than she could have ever imagined... even compared to male driders. They were a naturally lithe species, skeletal in appearance with little meat on their bones. Males possessed a willowy form with tall torsos and limber limbs, not the thick musculature Derek sported. She boldly stared at his sharp curves and contours, his broad shoulders and hefty biceps. Even his odd pair of legs appeared sturdy. Vespira briefly pondered his strength. How much could a mortal of his caliber lift?

As he approached, she held out her arms to hold him against her, throwing them over his shoulders. Wrapping her pedipalps around his waist, her breath caught in her throat at the firm prod of his member against her delicate flesh. A rush of tingling excitement flew up her spine. Oh how long she has waited to be fucked! She needed to be taken by him, even if he was human, lest she beg like a bitch in heat. Then the moment she had been pleading for; he penetrated her defenses, slipping his length into her wet, snug sheath. Barely tip in and Vespira could feel the stretch of her walls, almost as if she were a virgin again. It had been far too long since she has mated. She could feel the millennia of waiting for a stud, the loneliness, hit her like a stone as he plowed forward. Squirming in slight discomfort at his incredible size, she briefly appreciated the slow pace.

At first, enveloped by her contentment, she barely noticed his face dip into the nape of neck. It's when she felt his mouth on her prickling skin that confusion took hold of her senses. What was he doing!? Was he trying to bite her!? She barely had time to register the unsettled emotions welling inside her when his cock hit her cervix with a power that made all eight of her legs weak. The female bucked with a surprised cry, digging her claws into his shoulders. Pain wrestled with pleasure, the urge to flee from his invading lips conflicted with her desire to stay attached to him, but all she could do was match his thrusts with equal enthusiasm, already feeling a climax rise.

[User]
Derek's hesitation and confusion over the whole situation slowly subsided, his brain focusing now on how good her tight little cunt felt wrapped around his cock, her soft, full breasts pressed against his muscular chest. Logically he knew she wasn't human... but in that moment, she sure felt like she was. Her startled cry of pleasure only served to make him harder, his thick, hard length pulsing inside of her, as powerful and strong as the rest of him.

He could feel Vespira start to build towards an orgasm, clearly so pent up with need that it wouldn't take long to get her there. Unlike male drider who's goal was to fuck and climax as quickly as possible, Derek was actually focused on her pleasure, holding back the urge to fill her with his release... at least for a little while longer. He wanted to feel her body shake as pleasure overtook her, part of him actually quite enjoying the fact that the once demanding woman was now lying back and taking everything he decided to give her. Kissing up beside her ear she'd hear him whisper to her. "You want my cum so badly? Squeeze my cock nice and tight, show me how badly you want it." He said, now fucking her with everything he had, fucking her as if his life depended on it... because, well, it very well might.

[Assistant]
He was right. Her orgasm creeped up on her so fast, climbing to a rocking crescendo at his filthy whispers tickling her ear, that Vespira was paralyzed in glorious rapture mere minutes after the start of their coupling. Her limbs trembled, fingers curling, and voice mute as the drider rode out the climax, driving her hips against him to prolong the pleasure. By now, her mate would be releasing his load into her willing depths, but Derek was holding back. She could tell by the tenseness in his thighs and lower back and Vespira thought of the possible reasons he would be torturing himself so. Maybe it was a form of sadistic self-torment to further his arousal?

She lowered her claws to grip his bottom, relaxing her muscles as the orgasm subsided. Now it was his turn to pump her full of his seed. "You know how badly I want your cum, human", she hissed, changing her demeanor back to one of authority. She tightened her walls into a firm vice around his member, baring her fangs in an enthusiastic grin. "Fill me! Breed me! I need you". Juices dripped from her soaked cunt, creating puddles on the stone floor. She reached down with a finger to catch the dew and brought it to his lips.

[User]
Derek groaned as he felt her silky passage grip him tight, her orgasm causing her body to milk him desperately for his seed. Hearing her pleading for him to fill her certainly didn't hurt matters, and since he no longer had any reason to hold back, he decided it was about time to live up to his end of the bargain. Taking firm hold of her hips, he worked his thick cock into her tight little cunt, pressing balls deep into her with a rough groan.

She could feel his cock pulse deep inside of her as thick ropes of hot cum shot against her cervix, bathing her in his heat. It had been a while since he'd been with a woman, so the sheer volume of his load was impressive, certainly a promising result if she intended to get pregnant.

Taking a few deep breaths he slowly pulled out of her, taking a seat on the edge of the makeshift bed. His heart was still racing, part of him unable to believe he had actually done what he just did. "Well... I suppose since you've gotten what you wanted, you wouldn't be opposed to talking now?" He asked, figuring she'd probably have more patience with his questions now. "How do you know this will actually work...? Have you reproduced with a human before?" He asked, curious about her past.

[Assistant]
His burning hot seed scorched her fucked-raw channel, washing against her sensitive cervix like a tsunami. She exhaled deep, so comfortable in the aftermath of their coitus. She was, in a weird way, thankful for the circumstances that brought Derek to her. Without him, she would not feel so content instead of feeling so wound-up with a nagging sexual urge grating at her nerves. When he pulled out, she reveled in their combined release pouring from her opening. It may only take one time to get her pregnant, but this was not a one time fling. To make sure his seed plants, they will be coupling everyday, whenever she wishes.

"I guess not", she breathed, folding her legs beneath her and settling on the ground. "I have never been with a human, until now that is, but it is not uncommon for our kind to mate with humans. This goes back centuries when humans first settled here. Males would go seducing mortal girls because they thought the chance of having hatchlings were next to none. Come to find out, our species' are compatible. Females started doing the same and the rest is history". Though female driders and human males couple less frequently. Vespira's kind would rather produce pure-blooded offspring.

The township of Taura were afraid of the one who lived in their western woods. They were rumored to be a witch. They never came into town and seemed to survive on their own. Those who passed by the home, told tales of a mysterious light that seemed to come from the dwelling. It was not the color of fire, it was something otherworldly. White crows gathered on the nearby trees, owls gathered at night. It was an odd wood cabin that had gathered the reputation.

Less was known about the owner. The townsfolk were sure whomever lived there was an old woman, one who ate after making successful sacrificial rituals. The witch lured the virile men who were out hunting to make them her own slaves and drained them of their life's essence. The reality was that the witch was a young woman, who partook in mostly vegetables and small game. The men she found were wayward souls. She tried to help them after whatever had disturbed them... to success; however they only remember her, not what good she did them. It helped create this false image of her.

The witch's name was Tyella, she was a simple blind witch who used the animals around her home and the odd light to see. The magical gifts she had were to heal others using natures bounty, and to see beyond. She excelled at it, but at the cost of her actual vision. The real harbinger of the ill will that plagued the town was elsewhere, but still closeby. Coincidence brought them to the same place at the same time

This day, Tyella sat her fireplace and threw some small sticks onto the table before her. She felt around for the sticks with the markings that were facing up. "It seems today with be an interesting day..." She mused aloud with a smile. "Fate plays it's hand..."

[Assistant]
Approaching the village, a tall man wearing a light brown hood and cloak would stick the main street leading into the town. His clothes were rather plain, a dirtied white button up shirt with a leather belt keeping his cloth pants attached to his form and a dirtied pair of leather boots. He'd glance up at a man holding a pike. "Oi you, yeah you the real suspicious lookin bloke. What business ye have ere?" The guards speech wasn't the greatest, and his demeanor would come off as one of a lower education.

The mysterious man would smirk pulling his hood back to reveal a somewhat pale man with icy blue eyes and slicked back white hair. "I'm here to offer aid to the village in forms of prayer and services to the afflicted by this rumored witch of yours. I want nothing more then to do what I can to provide all the aid I can to this village". He'd say with a soft tone in his voice and a gentle smile upon his features.

The guard would be at unease, a bit disturbed by the mans words. "Well... ain't ye a fuckin saint, well don't cause any damn trouble father and there ain't gonna be trouble fer ya. Also I catcha begging I'll kick yer arse outa here meself". He'd huff with his chest out, obviously trying to intimidate the man.

With a nod the mysterious man would smile at the guard. "No worries, if anyone asks about my presence here in the village my name is Strasso Dorvani, a pleasure". He'd bow lightly to the guard before making his way further into the village. His eyes would linger from townsfolk to townsfolk seeing if anything would catch his interest then he'd hear it. The tale of the woman whom lives outside the village in solitude and her relationship with the people here. With a smirk he'd take a detour first, before heading towards the cottage.

Hours later he'd arrive, standing just outside the perimeter of the cottage. His movements would be slow as he paced around the cottage as his steps were light. "I wonder if she'll take notice to this or if she'll make me have to be bit more proper and knock..." He'd whisper underneath his breath.

[User]
When Strasso approached the cottage, he would surely notice the white corvids that seemed to be watching carefully. The birds would caw between themselves, as if they were judging him. The resident's attention had been properly gotten, reaching over to grab her staff she would make her way to the door. From what she could gather this person was not in need as many others have been. It seemed this visitor, perhaps, had another need of her.

Strasso could hear the clicking of locks becoming undone and the door open slowly with a strained creaking sound. He would be greeted by a silver haired woman who had a covering over her eyes. She was pale skinned and small of frame, it was not the look of someone who would typically be on their own in the woods. "May I help you?" She asked as her head turned in his direction.

[Assistant]
Strasso would glance over at her direction ignoring the birds whom attentions seemed to be on him. Turning his form to face her he'd slowly begin his approach toward her. His body language would show no signs of hostility as he stuck his hands into his pockets. If this woman were capable he'd want no hostility from her, not yet anyhow.

"Perhaps, heard a rumor of an old hag whom bewitches men. I knew the rumors wouldn't be entirely accurate, clearly those folks need to have their eyes checked". He'd muse with a wink as he stood before her now. His eyes scanning her form before settling upon her face.

"However, I thought I'd come and see for myself. Though if you're going to bewitch me be gentle, I'm not as tough as some of those burly men from the village". He'd try to stifle a chuckle.

[User]
_He has a sense of humor it seems_ The woman thought to herself. He could see her eyes expression widen and then quirk in slight amusement. "Ah, you're mistaken, I am far from what troubles the nearby town. But you are the first to come and inquire directly." She opened her door a bit wider. "Please come in." She offered for him to step inside. "I can offer you some tea if you would like."

Her home was quite plain. She had various food and herbs that were drying close to the fireplace. The fire itself was a brilliant white color, which occasionally flickered in the other colors of the rainbow. "I am sorry if the guards gave you trouble. They do not trust those who can weave magic as others might a grand tapestry."

"As you can see they are not brave enough to venture to see I am far from an old hag, and also much less capable of bewitching anyone... unless it would be by the sultry sound of my voice." She chuckled.

[Assistant]
"You're too kind to strangers Miss, for all you know I could be a monster looking to ravage a girl like yourself..." He'd say in an attempt of an alluring tone.

As he walked into the home his gaze would immediately go to that of the fireplace. Studying it for a minute before continuing his observation of the home. Nothing stuck out yo him for what he was looking for as it was plainly painted across his features. He'd sigh almost with a hint of disappointment as he sought himself a chair to seat himself.

"Strange you mention magic, I've never mentioned of being able to use such. I'm just a guy whom is curious of a rumor and nothing more. Though if your aim is to draw me in with your voice my dear, do try a little harder". He'd wink with an amused snicker. Though he'd found nothing he was looking for, he'd lean bank into the chair and see what unfolds next. Perhaps what he seeks hasn't manifested yet, or he was simply being a bit impatient.

[User]
"Ah, well I was referring when the guards speak of manners regarding myself. I didn't mean to insinuate you were a caster as well." She flustered a bit at what he said before. She was a bit too trusting, but the woman did not sense any ill will so far. "But they're ornery no matter who speaks to them." She cleared her throat trying to save face.

The fireplace flickered and would give a spark of pink. "There is truth to the rumor, but I am not the cause." She replied "I've been dealing with the aftermath... and have yet to find it's source." She explained.

[Assistant]
"Well that's disappointing..." He'd frown with a sigh following it. He'd look a little disinterested now as he set his sights on some sticks on a table. "Here I was hoping I wouldn't have to stick around too long and could've just taken care of this tonight... it never works out that way you know? Whenever I go to a town I spend at least a week there dealing with one insignificant person after another till finally the bastard gets cocky and tries to kill me and then at that point". Strasso would pause taking a breath of his slight rant. "I've had it up to here after eating what poor excuse that town has as a 'delicacy' and I just kill the bastard without even enjoying it". He'd sigh with a shake of his head, clearly irritated by his own words.

Though after his rant he'd realize what he'd done, granted he never had anyone to vent to before so this moment of weakness was a tad embarrassing. "Not that I believe you are unimportant my dear, you probably know a thing or two about magic hence why the folks down there are spooked. Though if you're not the one causing disturbances then I reckon it's some bastard whom got a hold of some sort of resemblance of power and like a little boy seeing a pair of tits for the first time is going wild". He'd pause again looking over at her. "Sorry about my mannerisms, and I know it's a guy because evil women aren't stupid and don't get caught". He'd muse in an attempt to lighten the mood after his words.

[User]
The sticks had runic writing on them. If the man was familiar they would be the following words: Darkness, Support, Ash, Danger, Chance, Magic, Justice, Death and Success. Unlike most runic inscriptions, these were not written on the sticks, but rather carved into them.

The woman listened to his rant and could fell his frustration. Her brow furrowed when she heard that he might enjoy the act of killing. But perhaps she misheard or misunderstood. "Well if you do not wish to stay in town, I could offer a spare room." She offered, "But my cooking may not be to your liking." She walked over to the table again, using her staff. "You would be close to the source of the problems and could potentially find what you are seeking." She explained. "What do you say?" Once again it appeared she was being too trusting, or was it that she was confident in her ability to protect herself?

[Assistant]
Strasso wouldn't be familiar with the writing on the sticks, he could make out maybe parts of words and hints of meaning but nothing that could really stick (no pun intended). Nevertheless he would observe them for a little bit out of curiosity to see if he could guess what sort of magic this woman might dabble in if she did or if it was just a mere hobby. With a shrug he'd bring his attention to her after she spoke, a brow raising at her offer. Clearly looking a little surprised she'd offer shelter to a stranger, and someone to whom admitted having no hesitations on murder.

"True, my intentions in this town are to track down the one causing all the disturbances and having to pretend to be some sort of priest to gain the trust of the townsfolk takes time away from that. However, were I to be just another hapless victim of the witch I could work without restriction and be close to my investigation..." He'd ponder his words for a moment as he got out of his chair and paced around the room in small steps. "Plus I might enjoy something different for a change that isn't meat pie..." He'd shrug as he turned towards her with a smirk."I wouldn't expect you to offer shelter to one such as myself, for one I'm stranger and two I just admitted to having killed before. Not say you couldn't handle yourself..." His words would trail off as if hinting for her to go on.

[User]
"It would be rude of me to refuse shelter to a traveler who may have traveled far. It is a custom where I come from to offer a safe haven for any traveler." It was a noble gesture, but it seemed to be the very one that has started such rumors about her.

The fire flickered a soft yellow at the moment, her gaze following the stranger as they both spoke. He seemed to have an aloofness about him, one that the woman was intrigued by. The man basically admitted to murder. He appeared to be feeding her information, perhaps even baiting her to expel her own secrets. Her lip curved in a slight smile.

"I've lived on my own for a long time, I am more than capable of handling my own dealings and those I deal with." Regardless of what she said she did keep her staff in hand, needing it to help navigate her home, but it was also her weapon. The fire in the hearth sparked purple, so far it was the only sign that some sort of magic was afoot. "Truthfully I don't know you outside of what you've told me. You could be feeding me stories for all I know. I like to judge a person's character by what they do... not what they say. So I consider you a guest until you wear out your welcome."

"If you decide to stay, would you entreat me to how I may address you?" She leaned on her staff with a coy smile. "I don't wish to be rude and simply call you the Stranger if that is not what you wish to be called."

[Assistant]
Strasso's icy blues would have a glint in them followed by a small smirk. "Well I am a fantastic story teller you know... need to be one in order to find people whom are constantly lookin over their shoulder". Walking over to her he'd perform a light bow in her direction. "Strasso Dorvani, freelance witch hunter and..." He'd stop himself with a shake of his head. "I guess the rest doesn't matter, but I thank you for the hospitality". He'd smile warmly as he walked over to the fire place.

"So how should I address you? I'm certain calling you the witch or hag would grow tiresome awfully quick". He'd snicker a little as he moved his hands over the fire for warmth. "Though you say you can handle yourself and deal with any troubles... so how would you go about it if kind words would not suffice? Beating me in the head with that stick of yours though effective it would be at hurting me wouldn't put me down. Is it the crows? I bet it's the crows". He'd tease with a amused tone in his voice.

[User]
When he heard him approach she relaxed her stance ever so slightly. She heard his words, he seemed very self assured, confident. Her eyes followed him as he traversed what was equivalent to her living room. "You are welcome, as I said you would probally find your quarry easier close to the source"

She walked towards the fireplace and deftly reached for the fireplace poker. She nudged a few bits of wood before placing another wood block onto it. The firelight showed off scarring that was around her eyes and nose, not making her grotesque by any means. These scars were quite old. She reached up and felt around until she found a patch of lavender and tossed that in as well.The soft aroma slowly began to fill the room.

"You may call me Tyella Umbraugis. It is a pleasure to know you Lord Dorvani. If you cause me any troubles I assure you usage of my crow friends will be the least of your concerns." Tyella smiled at his direction.

[Assistant]
Strasso would carefully look over her features, with the scar tissue near her eyes and nose causing his gaze to linger a little more then he should've. Taking a moment he'd let out a soft exhale, the magic he was using to alter his skin tone would dissipate revealing a much paler him almost void of color as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I imagine you'd like for me to call you Tyella if it pleases you". He'd muse, wondering if she'd notice the change in his magic or his true complexion.

"The man I'm looking for, what do you know of him and his location? What sorta magic has he been using to cause this disruption?". Strasso tone would shift to the playful tone he'd been using before to a slightly more serious one. He'd shift his form to face her as his arms crossed over his chest, tapping his left forearm with his fingertips as he awaited her response.

[User]
Her head tilted perceptively when Strasso dropped the glamour-like magic that he used. The fire burned a soft green for a moment before back to the blazing white. But she didn't comment on the changes, nor did she back away from him in fear. Tyella seemed to have noticed it, but by the feel of the magic not by what she saw. "Yes, I do prefer Tyella." She told him with a smile.

She walked back to her table and would feel for the sticks she had left and would begin to put them away before she spoke on the more serious matters. "I know they must be close to the river, that's how they're able to get so many victims so quickly." She began, "What he takes is a person's essence... their energy... their soul... in part. Not enough to kill Just enough to accomplish whatever they have in mind." Tyella thought further as she took a seat. "I would say this is Eldrich or even necrotic magics at work."

[Assistant]
Strasso stifled a laugh as his right hand quickly went over his mouth. After taking a moment to compose himself he'd take a seat next to her. "My dear Tyella, I can assure you necromancy is not it. A smart necromancer would draw runes on every grave then connect those runes with a leyline to someplace easily accessible so to be able to raise all those corpses to either attack or defend said necromancer. Also necromancers don't really meddle with souls, that's more demonology and faith. Granted they can manipulate the soul, but why waste the rest of the body? It makes no sense, so if you think it's either those two let's assume eldritch for now". He'd muse as he leaned his head against his hand and rested his elbow upon the table.

He'd study her after his words, a soft smile never leaving his face. "So the scar tissue around your eyes, are you physically blind my dear? I say physically cause I'm certain you've felt me drop one of the spells I was using. So Tyella, tell me what you can do I'll tell you a little more about me". Strasso would then lean back in the chair, observing her with eager curiosity.

[User]
Tyella looked to him, the way he spoke made it seem like he had an intimate knowledge of the practice. It was coming together as their earlier conversation began to click. She had to respect that she did not berate her conclusions, but rather gave her a rebuttal that was substantiated in fact."Forgive my ignorance, it's not a practice I associate with much." She did not seem disgusted nor reluctant to continue her conversation.

The conversation then turned to her eyes, when Strasso mentioned it she touched close to her temple, " I am." She pulled back the wrap that she had around her eyes. She glanced towards him, it looked like a group of claw marks that went along her sight line starting from her forehead to the brim of her nose. "So I've learned to see things differently as you have suggested. I can sense energies as well as perceive things a little better than others through sound, smell and touch." She chuckled; "As for what I can do... I'm a changeling. One who was whisked away to the Fae realm... learned their secrets and came back."

[Assistant]
Strasso would gaze at her, staring at her for quite sometime unflinching before sighing with a shake of his head. "Of course you'd use a class of magic I'm unfamiliar with". He'd chuckle rubbing the back of his head. "Hunting disturbances I don't come across Fae or Druids, don't really cause troubles that are worth my time. So we're both a tad ignorant of one another, so perhaps this cooperation between the two of us will be more beneficial then we give it at face value".

He'd get up and make his way toward a window, leaning forward as he gazed outside. "Though, it's getting a bit late so I leave it up to you my dear. Do we venture out tonight and seek out our prey or shall we rest up and tackle this endeavor tomorrow? I've the stamina and vitality of three men so it's entirely your choice Tyella. If you leave the choice to me, I'm heading out now with or without you". He'd state just a little bluntly.

[User]
The changeling's gaze glanced towards the dimming light of the outside; "You are correct. It is getting late." She pondered what to do for a moment, her companion seemed confident. "Would you think evening would be a good time to potentially engage this witch?" She asked honestly, taking her staff in hand, Tyella thought about it a few more moments. "Perhaps it would be best." She concluded. "They may be more active under cover of darkness."

"I do not have the virility you say you have, but I am able to carry myself longer than your average woman." Standing up she turned to look at him, "You will at least allow me to prepare myself, yes? A skirt is not conducive to traveling for a blind woman." The woman went to her room to change into something more travel appropriate, she made sure to close the door behind her. Her room was where she also had a few items that would help in a skirmish as well as components for her higher level spells.

Tyella's bedroom door opened after a short time, she had changed into a pair of pants and sturdier boots. Her belongings were at her back under her cloak which was kept together by a clasp in the shape of a snake around her neck. "Are you ready Strasso?"

[Assistant]
Strasso would wait by the front door till she was done, a few thoughts running through his head. She mentioned witch so perhaps Tyella knew something and this could be more dangerous then he thought. As she re entered the room he'd smirk. "If only I had spent sometime learning some sort of magic to see through doors..." He'd remark with a disappointed sigh and a wink. "I jest, then I'd feel obligated to allow you to see me and women... well I tend to ruin the mood". He'd muse with a light hearted tone.

Walking outside Strasso would crack his neck, exhaling slowly as he pondered his next few moves. Looking over his shoulder he'd wave to Tyella. "We're heading to the cemetery first, we're going to need all the help we can get and I doubt I could lure our prey there. Afterwards we'll head up the river, I'll go alone first and act as bait while you and our soon to be friends come in and save me before terrible things happen. I'd like to keep my soul in this plane of existence if that's quite alright with you my dear".

[User]
She had a feeling he'd jest with her like that after she finished changing. He seemed to be the type to do so, but she respected that he acted like a gentleman. "Seeing through doors is tough. You'd need a scrying spell." She told him. "And don't worry about it, remember, I cannot see you... I can only feel your features." She wriggled her fingers at him in a lighthearted gesture. "You're just a being of energy to me with my eyesight as it is."

She would join him outside soon after. She wanted to act curious, but Strasso was talking about getting friends at the graveyard. She shivered slightly, their magics seemed to be opposite of each other. "...And these friends will not harm me... so long as we play nice?" She asked him. He could feel her unease, saw it in her slightly lowered pointed ears. (Now she had her hair in a braid, and her pointed fae-elongated ears could plainly be seen, bits of twigs seemed to be stuck behind them.) "If you think we need it I can lend you some of my powers as well..." She said plainly. "I too would rather not see you meet your untimely end." She knew he would give her a curious look when she mentioned lending him her power.

"Changelings are made into something useful or amusing for the fae they were taken by. Mine needed a power conduit... so I am able to give my magic to others" Tyella explained, a touch of bitterness in her voice. Being used as a power source for show was not something she had fond memories of. Not all of the fae folk were kind.

[Assistant]
Strasso whisper under his breath for just a moment. "That's what scares me the most". In this moment he was vulnerable, but almost instantly he'd shake it off with a confident smirk. "My friends will do as I say and act as I feel, so if ya hurt me do be careful my dear". He'd wink playfully at her while motioning her to follow him. He'd take a few steps before stopping, thinking for a moment where the cemetery was before having an aha moment and walking in the right direction.

As he walked he'd look behind him occasionally to see if she was catching up alright, slowing his pace if need be. "So you can transfer your power to another... would you be able to control that power or would the being have to know how to use it. Then again, can you only use your magic when you transfer it to another". He'd genuinely be curious to both learn a bit more of the fae and to see what she could do. He'd noted the bitterness in her voice as looked forward after asking his questions. "If I told ya I know what you went through I doubt it'd help, but if you can help me with this fae magic I appreciate what you endured who knows maybe you and I could talk after if ya want".

Tyella followed him, using her staff to help her not stumble and fall, it would not be conducive for her to sprain an ankle. She listened to his footsteps it seemed on a few occasions he would slow his pace to keep up with hers. Hopefully she wasn't slowing their journey too much.

His question to her was a bit surprising. "No I cannot control others powers... more like they can control mine." Tyella chuckled; "I can cast my own spells, independent of my ability, so there is no worry about that" The fae walked close to him as they spoke, she didn't want to yell or be overly loud. "There will be some physical contact required. You'll just have to hold my hand if you desire to use my magic."

[Assistant]
"It won't be my hand you'd be holding my dear..." He'd stop his words for a moment as he pondered a thought. "On second thought you might be..." A slight glint in his icy blues as an idea sparked. He'd lead her to the cemetery, it wasn't anything special or unique with a priestess statue at the center of the area. He'd walk over to the base the statue and knock on it a few times. "Alright no tampering, this is too easy". He'd state as he looked around the area for a groundskeeper or a grieving villager. Confident he didn't see anyone else he'd crack his neck and then his knuckles. "Tyella, let me show you what would happen were we dealing with a necromancer".

Placing his right hand upon the right foot of the statue he'd close his eyes and exhale slowly. "Give to me thy servitude. Pound my will into thee. Bringeth thy flesh and bone and rise to serve the goddess". He'd chant as he'd break each of his fingers backward wincing with each action. After the chant was done all the fingers on his right hand were broken backward. He'd raise his left hand at her to keep her distance then pointed to the graves. "Watch my dear, this is my favorite part".

From where his hand was a circle with many spell circles would turn and send dozens of green lines of energy to every grave. Light explosions of green energy would erupt beneath the dirt of every grave but not enough to cause any pits or holes. The cemetery would grow silent for a few minutes with Strasso breathing a little heavier then usual due to his injury. Suddenly, arms would breach the surface of multiple graves and the heads of the undead of others. One grave had two bodies come forth of it and even a few dogs and cats. Strasso would chuckle amused at the sight of his magic. "In these small villages you can often find a few murders from long ago when two or more bodies come out of a grave. Some bodies come forth bare showing there were grave robbers were busy..." The undead hound would come up to Strasso as he knelt down and rubbed the back of its skull with a soft expression. "Often I get one or two pets from this... they make for great scouts and friends."

Slowly getting up he'd use his left hand to motion all the undead toward him, making them circle around both him and Tyella. Slowly he'd break his fingers back into place, wincing with each break again till they were as they were before. "Why I don't do cities or big towns. The price for the graveyards hurts a hell of a lot more". He'd smirk with a wink.

Melina had been called many things in her lifetime. Witch was the most common name, but it was a very crude simplification of what she actually does. Where witches and sorceresses draw their power and magic from dark arts and hellish dimensions, she draws her power directly from the world around her. The forest and the life within it is what gives her her strength. Melina was a druidess, and a very powerful one. She should be, after all she has been practicing her work for nearly 100 years now. It was about time she took on an apprentice.

As luck would have it, she would meet her apprentice on a particularly warm summer morning. As she opened the door of her small cottage, she could feel that it was going to be an important day. The sounds of the forest told her this. With a smile she walked down the trodden path in a silken robe that perfectly held on to her curves, her long gray hair lazily running down her back. Underneath the hill that her cottage lay, was a small waterfall from the river that ran above.

Slipping off the robe, she carefully walked on the rocks to reach the stream of water from above. As she stood there in the fresh water, she started to idly sing. To herself and to the forest. The waterfall was right by the road leading to her cottage. Anyone wanting to visit her would have no choice but to walk by the waterfall where she was bathing.

[Assistant]
A gloom hung over the forest home of the elves. It wasn't a literal gloom, of course, and the forest was as verdant and as bright as ever. But the people, the beasts---something had come over them, subtly changing them. It was barely noticeable at first. People went about their business and their treetop villages bustled with life as always. But something was missing. In the past year, fewer and fewer elves had been born---until in the past few months, there were none at all. It was as though people had simply... lost interest. Worse still, the animals the elves hunted for food, for hides, for all manner of things---those dwindled too.

So Rena---a young hunter of her village---was sent to find the witch Melina. The old, wise crone who lived alone in a cottage with chicken legs, old and wrinkled and jealous of youth. Or, so parents told their children, to keep them from wandering. Having grown up on those stories, Rena was less than thrilled with her mission. Yet, there she found herself. Days of wandering through the woods, and she found herself by the circle of stones that marked the place. A small trail led off towards the witch's hut. With a deep breath, she squared her shoulders and continued along, steeling herself for whatever she would find, mind working hard to picture it, to try to imagine the gnarled old crone.

Little did she know what awaited her, when she entered the small clearing just short of the hut. The sound of running water drew her attention, and she pushed through the trees towards that pool---so bright, all blue and green, alive with butterflies and... mating rabbits, and... a woman? Rena froze where she stood. There was no doubt that was her---the witch. Rena had never even seen an elf with gray hair. Yet, even from that distance, she could tell this was no crook-backed crone. She could only see generous, motherly curves and smooth skin, and for a moment Rena found herself positively mesmerized by the sight, staring slack-jawed at the strange and unexpected sight. She at least had the dignity to blush, and turn away, clearing her throat to draw the old elf's attention.

Melina was in her element. The woods and creatures in it were singing along to her tune. The rushing waters played a beautiful melody in turn and all seemed perfect. She had no knowledge of the apparent lack of interest that had befallen the inhabitants of the forest. Her grove was still brimming with life... and lust. She continued to hum her melody, but promptly turned her head as she was interrupted by someone clearing their throat.

Looking into the nearby treeline, she saw a young elf, clearly embarrassed by the sight before them. With a soft smile she waved to the woman. "Hello there young one. Please don't be shy... join me if you desire the most wonderful bath of your life" she practically chirped, her voice warm and welcoming.

"Come closer" she smiled, waving her hand. "Are you passing through by chance? Or have you come seeking my aid?" she asked, delighted that she finally had visitors. It had been a few years since someone had last stumbled upon her cottage.

[Assistant]
Rena hoped the distance from the pool hid her blush as the woman turned, seemingly entirely unbothered by her own nudity. The young hunter had never even seen another woman naked---at least, not like this---and there was ever so much to see with the old witch, all of it on full, glorious display. A part of her wanted to move closer, to take in every detail, while another part---a much louder part---wanted to turn and run.

When the woman beckoned, Rena swallowed hard, and gasped. For a moment she wavered, weighing her options, before she finally started forward, one leaden step after the other. Drawn in by the other woman's strange allure, her own kindled curiosity---and, of course, her quest. With each step towards the pool, her cheeks grew hotter. Her whole body seemed to, in fact, as if the closer she got to the pool, the more her desires stirred. The more the curse eased off, allowing her to feel everything that had been suppressed for a year or more.

She came to the edge of the pool, and stopped, eyes cast to the ground. She could just see the naked witch out of the corner of her eyes, fighting to keep from staring.

"I, ah," Rena said, shuffling her feet uncomfortably, "I've come to ask for your aid. For my village," she said, and took a deep breath to steady herself. Then she looked up, meeting the woman's eyes---but not without getting another look at her body, eyes going wide at that full figure before her. She was unlike any elf Rena had ever seen before. Older, by far. Motherly, curvaceous---as if nature's bounty was a part of her. Rena felt her mouth go dry, panic setting in again. "...my village, uh. S-something's happened. Something, ah... a curse, they think. There's... no one is having children anymore. Not the people, not the animals. There's something unnatural happening, and I... we hoped you could help."

[User]
"Oh, dear" Melina sighed as she walked closer to the edge of the pool and towards the young elf. She could sense the truth in what she was saying. One of the perks of being a druidess. She could also feel something else coming off of her. An energy of sorts. She had to test it the only way she knew how. If she was lucky, she just might have an apprentice on her hands.

"That does sound like a foul curse" she said as she leaned over the edge of the pool, letting her generous breasts stand out, staring up at the young elf. "I might be able to help, but I will need your help" she said, softly licking her lips as she did. "You will be my assistant in lifting this curse. Those are my terms" she chuckled, taking a few steps back into the pool.

"If you wish my help, then join me in my morning bath. I need to do some examinations on you to ascertain the source of the curse" she smiled, eagerly awaiting the young elves answer.

Andurain took her by the hand, and soon they were in the streets, moving towards the constabulary. The sights and smells of the city once again were upon them, and the bustling streets were filled with activity. Once they had arrived at the Guard Captain's office, he let them in. "So, you are the fellow that we've contacted about the missing caravan headed to Sandpoint" he said to them when they sat down.

"Glad you offered to help. Normally a missing caravan isn't that important in the overall scheme of things, but it's been reported to us that this merchant, one Amos Trask, also kidnapped some children he was planning to sell, and that's gotten our attention. The wagon was spotted at Foxglove Manor, a few days north of here on the Lost Coast Road. We sent a small patrol to check it out, they never returned, so with resources spread thin, we're seeking contractors. The gist of the mission is simple. Head to Foxglove Manor up the road a bit, investigate, if you find the wagon, try to figure out what happened from there, and if you can rescue some kids, that would be even better" he said to them.

[Assistant]
Riliana followed along, happy to be close to her new master. She again took in the sights and sounds of the city that were so different and yet similar at a deeper level with those of the extra planar cities with which she had experience.

When they reached the constabulary she stayed quiet and listened. The issues here were new and she didn't want to interrupt. Still, as the officer spoke her anger began to boil at mention of the kidnapping of children.  "Of course we have to rescue the children," she blurted out. "No decent person would do any less." Riliana looked at the officer. "What is know of this renegade merchant? Has he been suspected of abductions in the past?"

[User] "Of course, we are here to help, which is what prompted my initial inquiry" Andurain said to the constable and then his partner was asking questions. Impulsively, but good questions. "We suspect that he's a member of a cult of Lamashtu we've been attempting to quell. We've traced him to a rogue high priestess of theirs in the city, who has conveniently disappeared, and then he decided to leave town, so we're following up on him. He's a lower level threat, but the fact that he may have kidnapped some children is a concern. We may be incorrect on that point but we need proof. We will continue to look for the priestess, while you concentrate on her contact, the merchant and see what he's up to."

[Assistant] Riliana glanced at Andurain and then continued her questioning. "And what of the patrol that you sent to investigate? How many did you send?"

[User]
"Good question" Andurain echoed after Riliana spoke. "I mean, we are but two. Are you to tell me that us two are meant to handle a simple merchant when you have already sent some people to investigate and they have not returned?" he said, the expression on his face indicating that he clearly didn't like where this was going.

"Well, we sent four, but to be fair, they were dressed and equipped as soldiers. You are not. You will be seen as simple travelers to him. The guards were likely spied and identified as such" he explained to them.

[Assistant] Riliana frowned as well as the implications of the situation sank in. "Soldiers or no I hope that there is a large bonus in the works for success." She shook her head. "And what is known of any guards?"

[User]
"Good question" Andurain asked. "Also, is he more than just a merchant, I mean, any sort of weird magick or strange beings we should know about?" he asked, adding questions.

The man shook his head. "No, none that we are aware of. Don't think he has guards, he is likely just a middle man. There will be a handsome bonus if you can find evidence of partners."

[Assistant] Riliana thought further. "What is this Foxglove Manor? Are their current residents?" She was curious about the situation as it seemed that whatever might devour an entire patrol would deserve respect and care no matter how powerful her master might be.

[User]
"No residents. In fact, it has been abandoned for years, and in fact, part of it burned down. When that happened a few years ago, a cult of Norgorber was found to be inhabiting it. So, we fear that it's history makes it a perfect hideout for this person. The locals won't go near it, due to the bad luck associated with it, and the events that happened there in the past" he added.

Andurain thought for a moment. "Alright, I had already agreed, we will head out today. From what you've told me it will take more than a day to get there" and he looked at his companion after shaking the man's hand. "Time to go."

[Assistant] Riliana considered. "At least there will be no innocent bystanders to worry about." She smiled. "We can take care of business." The beautiful woman nodded in agreement. "The sooner we take care of this evil the better."

[User] "No" Andurain said, "unless there are children present. Then we must ensure their safety at all costs, and bring them back" he said to her. "That's the ultimate bargaining chip for this fellow will be any children he has managed to spirit away. We will have to make sure that if there are any, they are safe before we do anything serious" he said to her. "We will have to watch the house, and him if we find him, carefully" he said to Riliana.

[Assistant] Riliana nodded vigorously at the mention of children. It was apparent from her body language that children were very, very important to her. Her look at Andurain as he spoke was one of deep love and respect as their desires to save the young innocents melded together. "I agree that the safety of the children is paramount even above capturing or killing this miscreant. We can always find and put an end to him but children are a precious thing not to be squandered." She shifted and looked at her master. "Shall we put an end to this villain now?"

[User] "Aye, we should" Andurain said. "We accept, and will bring you evidence of our success. We shall endeavor to return with any children or other captives that we are able to rescue and retrieve" he said, bowing to the constable. "Until then" and he motioned for Riliana to rise, and they could be on their way, having now a first, proper quest to undertake.

[Assistant]
Riliana rose to her feet as Andurain motioned to her that the discussion was complete. She was ready and even eager to try her own powers alongside her master in a fight against evil. She curtseyed to the constable, taking her guide from her master.

When they were outside she turned to Andurain with an excited look on her face. "Do we go right away Master or are there preparations yet to make?"

[User] "I am ready to go actually" Andurain said to her. "I travel light, not needing weapons or anything, everything I need is in my satchel. I suppose we could procure a horse, that might make the journey quicker but it also adds to maintenance and cost if we do that, and gives us one more being that has to be taken care of and fed." he added as they made their way out into the streets, heading for the gates of the city.

[Assistant] Riliana walked alongside her master with a jaunty, happy step. "Unless we're in a particularly urgent hurry I'd rather walk alongside you master." She looked around eagerly; "This world is so much like my own yet it's different enough that I can tell. The glow of magical power is dimmer here and the creatures and plants are formed just differently enough to make things seem not bad but odd."

[User] "Of course" Andurain said to her as they began to walk. "This is but a small sample. Magnimar is but one city in thousands, and in fact, is just one of the city states in Varisia. We are seeing a very small drop of what Golarion has to offer. Every climate, every culture, every sensation, lies somewhere on this world. You happen to have arrived in one of the more bustling metro areas, but there are vast parts of this world that are not urban landscapes such as Magnimar. Once we leave the city we will be moving up the coast road, to a more rural area, with farms and long stretches near the coast that are sparsely inhabited" he said to her. "This is a fairly mild and temperate area, the weather gets a little more, well, exciting or extreme as you move north or south from here."

[Assistant] Riliana listened intently to her master but then again she always gave her full and undivided attention. He could be talking about cleaning the floor and she would hang on every word; he was her beloved, sexy master after all! "I like the big city for the diversity and excitement in it. I'm glad you summoned me here first but I really want to spend years and decades of our lives traveling about with you Master. I want to see and experience these different places by your side."

[User]
"No worries there, as you will be by my side constantly" Andurain said to her. "Hmm, I think we'll go on foot. Horses are a bit to take care of, and there's the matter of what to do with them if you have to go places they can't for an extended time" he said.

He looked at her. "I've got everything I need. Do you need to go back to the inn to get anything?" he asked.

[Assistant] Riliana shook her head and squeezed Andurain's hand. "I have everything I need right here with me." She patted the sword and then let go his hand and gave his butt a squeeze. "Yes... all here."
