I grabbed the little blonde beneath me by the throat as she began to whimper. My big thick prick drove deep into her with the force of a triphammer, and before long her squeals synched with the impact of my hips driving into hers. She clasped her hands behind my neck, her legs bouncing against my sides before she finally clenched her slim thighs around me.
“My lord, great master, I–ohhhhhheeee…”
I had shifted my hips, changing the angle I was sliding into her with. She apparently approved; she lost her track and descended once more into high pitched squeaks. I felt her tight walls grip the length of me, undulating, feeling like they were desperate to pull me in and keep me there. I bore down, nailing her hard into the bed, the blankets long consigned to the floor from our thrashing movements. I tightened my grip on her neck and her eyes rolled back in her head, her hands reaching down to grab my wrist. My perspiration dripped onto her already sweat-slicked form as she whined and mewled in pleasure.
“M-master…” her voice was strained from lack of air, among other things.
“Yes?”
“Cum…want…want your cum…” Her legs clenched harder around me.
“Does my dirty little priestess need my seed? Does she want my get in her belly from my cock pumping my essence deep in her womb?”
That set her off, and powerfully. Her legs held my hips against hers as she writhed against me, my cock buried fully in her spasming cunt. She wailed, her voice echoing throughout my chambers. She even dug her nails into my shoulders, scoring marks in my skin. I held my hand at her throat as I rode it out, the pale skin of her face turning just the right shade of red. She convulsed again and again, before finally collapsing back. Her arms fell back over her head, and her legs lay limply to either side of me. I took my hand off her and leaned back, and she gasped for air, panting. She looked just this side of unconscious, her long, platinum blonde locks in utter disarray behind her. Not that that stopped her from making a noise of protest and reaching up for me when I moved to pull out of her. “No…please…finish…”
I patted her on the cheek fondly. “Oh I will, I will, Eli. Don’t worry. But…” I went ahead and pulled out, then grabbed her leg and shifted, rolling her over. As soon as she realized my intent, she moved into position and thrust her ass in the air, shaking it at me.
“Oh yes lord, punish my ass, cleanse the transgressions of your naughty priestess, give your servant her just flagellation…”
A hand cracked down hard on her ass, leaving a bright red handprint on the smooth, taut flesh. Eli moaned, still waving her ass at me. It wasn’t, however, my handprint on her ass. “Oh, hello Maëlys.” I smiled at my seneschal and she inclined her head in response. “I didn’t see you come in. Did you need something, or just joining in?”
Maëlys smiled and looked down at Eliana, who was still waving her tight ass, looking for her righteous punishment. “I do need some things from you, Esteban, but they will keep. We all know how much our great priestess needs to exercise her acts of contrition.” With that, she drove her hand down sharply on Eliana’s other asscheek, leaving a matching handprint.
Eli hissed, her ass undulating at the sensations. “Yes, yes, yes! More, please, more!” I licked my lips at the sight; she was particularly worked up. This was going to be quite fun. However…
I grabbed Maëlys’s long, pale-lilac hair, and pulled her head down to my dripping prick, soaked and covered in a thin layer of froth from Eli’s copious pussy juices. “That may be so, Maëlys, but I didn’t give you permission to administer that punishment, so I’m afraid you’re going to have to share in it.” Without hesitation she took me in her mouth, tongue swirling, moaning her assent.
It was moments like this that I liked to close my eyes and appreciate how far I had come. Truly revel in the joys of hard-won success, and the pleasures it had wrought right from the beginning. I’d had cleverness and determination, but luck, too. I tried never to forget that, or take it for granted, as I commanded my thralls in pleasuring me and each other. But this is obviously not the beginning of my story. Far from it. So maybe it would be better if I started there…
============================================================
============================================================
I was born in a dinky village out in the borderlands of the wilds. And not even one of the fur-trading towns, that at least get raucous and have merchants come through. Just farms and one mill and a public house that couldn’t even really be called a tavern, and served ale that didn’t deserve the name. Not that I’ve ever been much of an ale drinker. I was small and sickly my whole life. Not much use on a farm. Not especially coordinated either, which washed me out of being useful as a hunter, either. As I said earlier, I was clever, though.
Yes, this is one of *those* stories. Bear with me though. I think it’s got some twists in it.
At any rate, the local priest of Phesyn the Farm God noticed me, and decided to take me under their wing. Pastor Odesmond was his name, and he was one of those people who look middle aged for what seems like their whole lives. He was dutiful and was always community minded, fond of caring for the children. No, no like that; it is *not* one of *those* stories. He taught me all the lore and tales, all the rituals. He was impressed by how well I did, but it was pretty easy. He didn’t exactly have an extensive library. The hardest part was learning all the astronomical and seasonal weather tables. But he was so pleased he sent me off to Zoideswich, the closest real town. Even had its own wall. More importantly, it had a Sanctuary of Phesyn, where I could learn, and maybe become a priest one day as well. That didn’t go as planned.
See, the library there was more extensive than you would think, thanks to the spoils of several battles with Shyrdor, the Dark God of Cliffs and Caves, being housed there. Sure, the tomes about Shyrdor, his cults, and his teachings were hidden and forbidden. They were kept around so that if they came back the elder priests could develop counters to them. But, of course I would want to read every book in the library, those included! I personally don’t think that was particularly outrageous of me, even if it took getting into a locked storeroom.
I was caught; the first time, the reprimand was pretty severe, but the second time they just threw me out. But not before I’d learned some interesting lore about Shyrdor’s cults in the region, his followers, and a couple of cantrips. Who knew there would be magic spells hidden in a religious tome? Not me. But I definitely took advantage. I didn’t find learning those any more difficult than the teachings of Phesyn; the magic just came. Ultimately it was just a little prank, but the Prelate of the Sanctuary of Phesyn at Zoideswich will probably be afraid of the dark forever now.
Nowhere else to go, some might have run back to their home village, or descended into the alleyways and sewers of the streets. Not I. I followed some vague clues to an old hermit worshiper of Shyrdor and asked to become his disciple. Unfortunately, he was a bloated ogre not inclined to take disciples; he actually did teach me a few things in the short time I was there, but only kept me around long enough until I was no longer half-starving and wasted away then tried to kill and eat me. I fled, and I managed to take a charm of survival before fleeing.
That kept me alive until my next lead panned out, a dark witch deep in a swamp. I’m fairly certain I would’ve been eaten by crocodiles for sure, or drained dry by leeches, if it wasn’t for the charm. The witch had some knowledge of Shyrdor, as well as the rest of the gods, but she had long ago made a pact with the Goetic Nethermonarchs for more power. This actually interested me a lot more than being a priest of the cave god; little did I know I was putting the pieces I would need later together, but it’s funny how fate works.
At first, Fryndi the witch seemed like she might be the answer to my prayers. So to speak. She taught me my first actual black magic, and even a blood magic ritual. In return I cleaned up her whole swamp hut, helped dry her herbs. The mud was awful. But I’d cleaned quite a lot back when I was a prospective novice priest, worked in the kitchen, so it didn’t break me or anything. I assume it wasn’t enough, though. Only a few weeks in, she tried to eat me too. She probably would have, actually, but I managed to knock over her bubbling cauldron in my frenzy. In the chaos that ensued, she was quite upset, and I grabbed some loose notes she had laying around on the way out. Turns out it was a summoning ritual. All in all, it was a net win, really.
My last lead was an old cave shrine in the border mountains that supposedly was located in a place of strong power, a confluence of various spirit worlds crossing at a thin place of black magic. It sounded like just what I needed, since I certainly didn’t have much real power of my own. I’d almost need a lie down after a few cantrips. With a place of power, I might be able to do something that might actually succeed. I just had to hope I could find it, and that it was still abandoned.
It took almost longer than I had to find that cave, though. By the time I did, I was practically on starvation’s doorstep. And even then, I almost missed it. The entrance was barely visible. Rotting trees and underbrush nearly covered it, and ivy draped down like a curtain. It was barely a crack in the mountain rock. I stepped quickly through, ducking, hoping I wouldn’t find any wild creatures, or worse, a pack of goblins. It was dark, dank, the floor covered in decomposing detritus. The cloying stench of decay was thick. Maybe it had once been an animal den, but it was empty now. I sighed in relief.
Feeling my way along the wall, I was excited to find another opening going deeper in, and the floor sloping down. I wished I had a torch, or knew a cantrip to make one. I didn’t though. My knowledge was woefully inadequate. That’s why I was here. So I kept feeling my way down into a dank cave covered in moss and mildew, and what I was hoping was mostly harmless mold. The cave floor was uneven, but not too slippery for how damp things were, and seemed to be spiraling downwards, which was at least the right direction. Before long, I seemed to catch a break; a strange, glowing lichen seemed to start coating the walls, releasing a dim but visible bluish light. That made it much less likely I would walk blindly off of a ledge or something, which was the sort of thing Shyrdor was fond of setting up. Or so I’d read.
Which was when I walked into the fungus field. Basically, the cave took a sharp turn, then opened up into a larger chamber. A few steps in, and something squished under my foot. A big cloud puffed up, which surprised me so much I spun and stumbled forward, waving my arms. I might have been alright at that point, but then I stepped on another, and then another, and pretty soon I was in a thick cloud of sickly sweet-smelling mushroom spores. I coughed and wheezed, doubled over, desperate for some clear air, but there really wasn’t any.
Finally I fell to my hands and knees, eyes watering. I looked at what was on the floor of this chamber. When I realized what it was I was stepping on, my eyes widened and I looked up and around the cave. Sure enough, odd chromatic spots and multicolored blurs seemed to overlay my vision. Oh great: faedust puffshrooms. They weren’t poisonous or anything; in fact, several preparations and concoctions used them, and I’d heard some people even ate them to get the effect on purpose. I couldn’t imagine; I’d been extremely sheltered, if you hadn’t guessed. But regardless, now I stood a chance of giggling to myself while I chased rainbow sparkles off a cliff.
I offhandedly grabbed a couple of the offending fungi, stuffing them in my robe, and wandered through the cavern chamber full of them, some in clusters and others in rings. I meandered somewhat aimlessly, looking at the walls, ceiling, the lichen and back down to the fungi, the colors and details and fuzziness different every time. I’m not sure how long I did this for; it could have been minutes or hours. Eventually I found a passage that continued the downward path, and wandered down it, bouncing back and forth from one side to the other, pushing off one wall then the other. I was confused, exhausted, and at this point pretty malnourished; but I endured, and I persevered.
Ultimately, I encountered definite signs that I was on the right track, and had found what I was looking for. On what had thus far been just a rocky irregular slope, carved stairs appeared, descending down into the depths. The walls took on an artificial, worked smoothness. Here and there were what appeared to be slots or brackets for torches. My heart thudded heavily in my chest. My mouth was dry. My hands sweat in anticipation. And finally, finally, there it was before me. A heavy stone door, carved with glyphs associated with Shyrdor, but also several other arcane sigils. Some I recognized, belonging to other gods, or of netherworld origin, and some I didn’t. But that hardly bothered me. I knew there was too much I didn’t know. My hope was that behind that door, at least some of the answers I needed awaited. I just needed to get it open.
There wasn’t any obvious latch or mechanism. That wasn’t really that surprising, of course, this being a doorway into a powerful magical site. But my mind was hazy, and after not very long trying to decipher the glyphs and sigils, their meanings, and their patterns, my head was starting to throb. Or maybe that was the mushroom powder wearing off? It was impossible for me to know. But I didn’t turn away; I had to get in. Luckily, followers of Shyrdor weren’t the most sophisticated sort. They didn’t go in for intricate mind games, even in their magics. Cunning, yes, sneaky, sure, but not complex. And I’d had the luck to run into a couple different types of magical thinking, even if it wasn’t for all that long. I was a quick learner anyway; that’s how this whole thing had started.
So. The Shyrdor glyph. Easy enough. Hmm. The mouth sigil. The cave glyph. Ok, let’s see. The fall glyph. The magic sigil. Nothing. I stopped to think; was I wrong, or was the sequence not finished? I took a moment, trying to think it through. On a whim, I tapped the netherworld sigil. Instinct? Luck? Something remembered subconsciously? To this day, I don’t know. But that was it. It worked; the glyphs and sigils all lit up, and with a grinding shake and the sound of stone on stone, the door swung open.
A red light shone from within, and I was hit with a blast of heat. Oh. I walked through the door, and onto a small bridge arching over a flow of lava. It led to a smooth, circular platform. On one side, a small, raised pool of water, almost like a natural fountain, was fed by a small waterfall. Inside, tiny white eyeless fish swam. Around the rest of the platform, the lava pooled instead. The heat felt intense, but not altogether unpleasant after the wet cold I had been in recently. And in the middle of the platform, a large, faceted shard of obsidian thrust upward, shining dully to about chest height for me. The top was smooth, flat, a perfect natural altar. This was it. I slumped to the ground at the foot of the bridge on the platform. A wave of triumph washed over me, but relief at the end of my quest lay above all else, and I took a moment to indulge the bone-deep exhaustion I had been fighting. I didn’t have anything left. I would either succeed here, or I would die here, my skeleton a mystery for the next wanderer. I vaguely wondered if the stone door would shut itself, and hoped so; let someone else solve their own damn door puzzle.
I gathered myself, and stood back up. Reaching between the robe and tunic I wore, I pulled out the small bag I had managed to keep through my journey. I sighed, then took off my soiled, tattered robe, wearing just my tunic in the dry heat of the chamber. Pulling out the witch pages I’d taken, I looked at them for what must have been the hundredth time. There were spots and smudges, a few burgeoning rips, but I knew them like the back of my hand at this point. Then I put them down, and reached into the bag, pulling out what remained: a piece of chalk, which only willpower had kept me from trying to eat, a small flint blade, and a tiny ivory cup. I looked up at the obsidian altar. Yes, this was perfect.
I put the blade and cup on the smooth obsidian, then set to work with the chalk, drawing the configuration I thought I’d need to do what I wanted. First were some basic shapes and lines, to help make sure the distances and proportions were correct. Some of those would be erased later, but others were integral to the whole diagram. Next were additional basic symbols and shapes, circles, both single and double, pentagrams, hexagrams, sigils for the elements, sigils for this world and the netherworld. Finally, the circle of power, and the major elements, the specific glyphs and sigils which call to the Nethermonarchs in supplication. My movements were methodical, and I kept double and triple checking myself despite going slowly enough to make sure I made little to no mistakes. This was all or nothing, and I had had my fill of “nothing” in my life.
The major work of my circle complete, I went to the altar and took the flint blade. With a deep breath, I made a quick slice in my palm while holding it over the little ivory cup, then squeezed to get enough blood to fill it. The sharp pain helped me focus, and once that task was complete I used the blood trace over the main elements of the circle, binding my life force to it. As soon as I did, I could feel a change in me, feel what was happening. The circle began to draw in power from me, but more, it drank hungrily of the swirling vortex of energies within this small chamber that I could now feel surging all around me. It was a heady feeling, and my voice was strong as I started intoning the chants and mantras, in alternating sequences, that would complete the ritual and ignite the circle.
“Renque tuteiayal Gemory et Xavoaaulum lutio Paimon acraoalium! Syvargo ravcele Caeloybus occyytuna! Walouame! Walouame!”
I took the ivory cup, still partially filled with my blood and put it back on the altar, then waved the blade over it as I called upon the forces that might finally, finally give me what I wanted.
“Ascenest Gemory walouame Queaeinea angiaadius Amduscias! Vassago eccdo et Ronové! Walouame!” My voice rose, pulled out of me as the words tumbled of their own volition from my throat, rushing headlong into the seething roil of churning energy now decidedly moving in response to them, and to the shapes and symbols and sigils within my circle.
“Marchocias! Taniautio hawosis atencele! Walouame! Syvargo ravcele! Walouame! Syvargo ravcele! WALOUAME!”
With that final, fateful cry, my circle flared to full life, a glowing greenish yellow-purple searing itself into my eyes and throwing the chamber into a stark relief. The altar began to glow in response, a deep purple, and energy poured from it to the circle until its light was all but blinding. Suddenly I felt weightless, as if I had been carrying some great weight and now was relieved of it. My feet felt as if they floated up, off the ground, and hovered there. The pain in my hand, the churning in my belly, the strain of my limbs, it all washed away and I felt simply lightness. And then I heard Them. Heard Their voice for the very first time, the tones in my ear an ecstasy like none I had ever felt before.
OHHHHDARLING! AIII SWEET MAN, I HEAR! I HEAR! THINE WORDS ARE TRUE AND GENUINE, AND THY CALL IS ANSWERED. I AM COME, I AM BEFORE THEE, OPEN THINE EYES TO ME THAT WE WOULDST HAVE CONGRESS.
I hadn’t even realized that my eyes had been shut…had they been shut?…but I felt myself open them and before me was a vision of power and glory. The being before me was resplendent in a sumptuous gown of black and red, gems and jewels glittering at their neck, ears, arms, and at their waist was a bejeweled belt. A shining crown rested in their midnight locks, lustrous in their own right. The crown’s light threw her face into partial shadow, though its terrible beauty and the infinite blackness within her eyes were in no way diminished. “I…uh, great one, matchless being of power, I beseech you! Xevola persnea malime…!”
YES YES WALOUAME ETCETERA. SWEETLING, I HEARD, I HEAR, I AM HERE. WHAT IS IT YOU BESEECH, WHAT DO YOU DESIRE, PRECIOUS MAN? SAY, SPEAK, TELL ME NOW THAT WE MAY JUDGE THINE PETITION BEFORE US.
The being before me gestured airily as they spoke, but their face was earnest and concerned. Oh gods above and powers below I was scared! Not just of what I had summoned; in truth, the being had me spellbound as much as I had them ensorcelled in my circle, and those eyes upon me slowly grew less terrifying and more…enrapturing. But this moment was all on me, I had to say, do, the right thing or it would all be over. I bowed deeply at the waist in obeisance, and took a deep breath to center myself, or try to. “Oh darkling greatness and eminence of the nether realms, I seek knowledge, I seek to grow and rise over these lands that are far from your sight! I seek you to grant me boons, so that with this power I might cow these lands and advance your power in my realm! I seek dominance, and in that dominance those in my thrall shall hold you above all other Powers of the Worlds, Higher and Lower, as I myself shall do! Let me spring forth in your name to command, and be obeyed!”
MMMMOHHH PRECIOUS LAMB, HOW DELICIOUS. THOU ART TRULY A DELECTABLE MORSEL IN MINE EYES. A NEW WELL OF SOULS DEBAUCHED IN MY NAME FROM A FRESH SET OF LANDS DO THOU OFFER? AND IN RETURN I GRANT THEE THE KNOWLEDGE AND BOONS ONLY I CAN GRANT TO MAKE IT THUS. THIS IYOU WOULD ENACT BETWEEN US IN PERPETUITY?
They tapped one finger on their chin, as if in thought, considering what I offered, their mouth pouting prettily. It was a struggle not to stare blankly at their gorgeous face, and fall deep within their eyes. “Uh, I, um, yes, my most excellent one, these, uh, miniscule manifestations of your wondrous power and beneficence do I request of you that I might generate such tribute as would be worthy in your eyes.”
MY MY SUCH A POLITE, WELL MANNERED YOUNG MAGE. SO SINCERE.
They leaned towards me, a finger tracing the edge of their bodice, drawing my eyes to the smooth bronze skin of their ample décolletage.
I WANT THEE. OH! I DO, MMM. SO FRESH, SUCH POTENTIAL. AND THOU DIDST BRING ME FORTH TO SUCH A FAR FLUNG PLANE, DESPITE KNOWING SO LITTLE. AMPLE CLAY I DO SO WISH TO MOLD WELL IN MY HANDS, HMM?
I nodded absently in response. They licked their lips, tongue pink and moist, a flash of wet motion that left me feeling breathless. Their finger still trailed back and forth on their bodice. Were…were their nipples poking out?
It was so hard to focus on what they were saying, but I knew my life depended on it.
BUT ALAS AND ALACK, THOU ART TOO FAR, AND THY MAGICS STILL MINUTE, AND I WOULD BE TOO THIN IN THINE LANDS. NEEDS BE AS NEEDS MUST, AND THEREFORE SHALL I ASSIGN THEE A SENESCHAL THAT MIGHT ACT IN MY STEAD.
“A…a seneschal? What does that mean? Can you not help me?” Had I failed? What was happening? I felt a pull at my core; my ability to maintain this magic wasn’t going to last forever, and I didn’t know what would happen when my endurance ran out.
However, they pursed their moist, ruby lips and made soothing noises, looking for all the world as if they were concerned they’d disturbed me.
OHHH, TCHTCHTCH, NO DARLING DEAR, NEVER THEE FRET, NOT A BIT OF WORRY. I AGREE TO THINE PACT, BUT IT MUST BE MADE VIA INTERMEDIARY, WHO SHALL TRAVERSE THE REALMS OF SPIRIT TO BE AVAILABLE TO THEE. ALTHOUGH, EVEN THAT MIGHT BE TENUOUS UNTIL WE CAN FORTIFY THINE MAGICS.
Her brow furrows for a moment, but then it passed, and her face is sweet joy and concern for me again.
BUT REGARDLESS, THY BODY AND SOUL SHALL BE BOUND TO US, AND WE SHALL MAKE MUCH OF THEE, OH MY NICE SWEET HANDSOME MAN, OH YES. I PROMISE YOUR GUIDE AND BOON COMPANION SHALL BE MOST FULFILLING, MMMHMMM.
A shiver crept across my skin, prickling it into goosebumps. I wavered a little, getting unsteady on my feet. “Then…uh, I thank you, I accept, oh glorious vision of the great Nether. Most excellent power, send your seneschal and let the pact be sealed!”
They smiled.
AGREED. SAY THE WORDS AND LET IT BE SO.
I closed my eyes, knowing there was a chance I could falter and fail here, and never open them again. But I was so close. I could sense it, as much as I could sense my faltering strength. So I took a deep breath, and intoned the chant with as much volume as I could muster. “Vercle pesiayarran, maxia Gemory! Renairum tenuoarran cidrium…ah…et seneschal, noryuli morayume. Ta, Gemory! Irian Esteban! Walouame! Esteban nomeeaosis cisaeoma! Gemory in excelsis!”
So long as I live; no, so long as my soul exists, I will never, ever forget the look of unholy euphoria on face of Gemory, Duchess of the Netherrealms and commander of 26 Legions of Enkon, as her hand reached out and, with a gesture, evaporated my tunic, then traced her personal sigil on my chest. Nor will I soon forget how my penis swelled instantly, harder than I had ever felt it before, and immediately began cumming, shooting my semen in powerful arcs I wouldn’t have thought possible. When she was done, she smiled as I fell to my knees.
So sweet thou art to offer such copious tribute. But thou shalt soon offer up even more, for thy new seneschal Maëlys shall soon come to greet thee, and seal thee body and soul. I shall now take my leave while thy still possess strength in thy mortal frame. Farewell, darling dear. I greatly look forward to thy future tributes and offerings. Pray do not tarry overlong in providing them.
SO SWEET THOU ART TO OFFER SUCH COPIOUS TRIBUTE. BUT THOU SHALT SOON OFFER UP EVEN MORE, FOR THEY NEW SENESCHAL MAELYS SHALL SOON COME TO GREET THEE, AND SEAL THEE BODY AND SOUL. I SHALL NOW TAKE MY LEAVE WHILE THEY STILL POSSESS STRENGTH IN THY MORTAL FRAME. FAREWELL, DARLING DEAR. I GREATLY LOOK FORWARD TO THY FUTURE TRIBUTES AND OFFERINGS. PRAY DO NOT TARRY OVERLONG IN PROVIDING THEM.
And then she was gone, the circle’s light, its power, faded. I sat there on my knees, my vision fading too, but with the sigil of Gemory engraved on my skin. What would happen now?
