Elegy for a Star Ch. 021-030

"Isn't that already perfect?" Tess asked.

Mairaela shook her head, "Nothing's perfect. Discipline and study lead to further enlightenment. Enlightenment leads to a strong soul."

"So you're a monk? A priest?"

"Only in the same way that I want to better myself."

Silence, once again, until Mairaela broke it, "So why did you come into the Void? I mean, really. Why?"

"I wanted to help," Tess replied.

"You know that wasn't the case," Mairaela responded, "And if you'd been honest to the enlistment officer that you didn't have a gift, they would have ever let you in. So why? Why are you lying to get here?"

"It's a long story," Tess replied.

"We've got an hour left on watch," the Fey answered.

"I don't remember much about my past. I think I'll find answers here."

"Why here?" Mairaela pressed.

Because Miri told me to, Tess thought. Instead, she said, "Joyona saw a creature from her memories. Maybe I'll see something from mine."

"We only found that out after you got here. Why are you hiding things, Tess? We need to trust one another." Mairaela sounded more disappointed than anything else.

"It's the one thing that I can't share, Mairaela, I'm sorry," Tess replied, remembering Gwen's advice about keeping talk about Miri under wraps.

"So then why didn't you share that?" Mairaela said. Tess turned to look at her, but the Fey was pointing down at Tess' lap. Looking downward, Tess saw that the loincloth had draped perfectly over her cock, leaving a clear outline of girldick upon the thin cloth.

Panic was the first thought through Tess' mind, but when the fact that Mairaela already knew finally set into her brain, she calmed. "It's-... yeah, sorry. How was I going to bring that up, though? Hi, my name's Tess, and I have a big dick."

Mairaela rolled her eyes in amusement, smirking back at Tess as she said, "No, I didn't say tell me about it. Why haven't you shared it with me."

It took Tess a moment before her eyes widened and she looked over to Mairaela. The Fey was smirking devilishly before she placed a lithe hand on Tess' thigh. "How about it?" Mairaela asked.

Tess got a good look at her and saw those pointed ears tilted low. Those pouty lips were full and soft. She had a catlike mischievousness to her that thrilled Tess.

"You want to? With me?" Tess whispered, quieter than she'd been talking a moment ago.

Mairaela nodded her head, "I do." Mairaela's hand slid just a little toward Tess' inner thigh. The Fey's fingertips teased at the edge of the loincloth, just an inch from Tess' barely-covered length.

Tess put a hand behind Mairaela's neck, leaning in and giving the Fey a deep, soft kiss. At the same time, her loincloth was nudged aside and Mairaela's soft fingers slid most of the way--but not entirely--around Tess' hardening cock.

With a whimper muffled by Mairaela's lips, Tess broke the kiss and tried to regain her focus, just as Mairaela's hand began to really pump her length up and down. "You're so big," Mairaela purred, pumping Tess' cock without any hesitation or teasing slowness, "You feel so hot in my hand."

"Mairaela?"

"Yes, Tess?"

"Can you suck my cock?"

Mairaela leaned in and nipped at Tess' ear, whispering back, "I was hoping you'd ask."

Chapter 27 - Stress Relief

Tess leaned back, arms planted behind her, looking down at the Fey's head bobbing up and down in her lap. That beautiful brown hair was curtaining all of the action, so Tess kindly gathered Mairaela's locks and gathered them on the back of her hair. This put Tess' hand on the back of Mairaela's head; something Tess loved.

For a moment Tess was worried that Joyona or Gwendolyn would wake. Tess was able to bite back her own noises, but Mairaela was moving so quickly and eagerly that she often made sucking or wet slurping sounds. It didn't help that she was putting so much effort into it that she was moaning softly. Thankfully, the sound was muffled well enough just by the way that Tess' fat cock stuffed Mairaela's mouth so completely full. Even still, there was a good bit of noise that Tess was really hoping the two wounded girls would sleep through.

"Keep going," Tess whispered encouragingly, but really it was desperate, hoping that Mairaela would never stop. Her mouth, her plush lips, that wet tongue and the way she sucked so strongly, it all combined to make Tess want this moment to last forever.

By now, she'd worked up her stamina just a little bit more, or else she wouldn't have lasted long at all at the rate that Mairaela was going. A hand went between Tess' legs and cupped her balls, rolling them in gentle circles up against her body. Fingernails tenderly scratched and teased beneath her sack as the Fey worked.

With the way Mairaela was lying at Tess' side, it dawned on her that she could return the favor a little bit. Tess flipped Mairaela's hair to the other side of her head so that she could keep a good view. She used that same hand to prop herself up and slipped the other hand beneath Mairaela's skirt. She first groped Mairaela's ass, feeling that plump skin swelling between her fingers as she squeezed. Tess wanted more of it, but was determined to repay Mairaela in some small way. She brought a thumb just above Mairaela's sex, still covered by her green panties.

Tess could already feel the heat, the dampness, the softness of that mound beneath her touch. She rubbed her thumb forward, pressing Mairaela's panties between her labia and against her folds. Mairaela moaned on Tess' cock, sinking her head lower and nudging Tess up against her throat. Tess threw her head back, arching her body toward the ceiling as a wave of pleasure coursed through her.

"You're so wet," Tess whispered, thumb continuing to rub Mairaela through her panties. She brought her thumb upward and began to rub just above the Fey's clit, giving that little button an oh-so-gentle circular motion. Mairaela broke the suction on Tess' length enough so that she could pant and whimper. She brought her head away from Tess' lap and, with a deep blush across her freckled cheeks, she begged, "Please, fuck me."

Tess saw an opportunity, and the corner of her lips smirked upward, "I thought you said I shouldn't be here." Mairaela looked like she saw a ghost, as though she actually believed Tess would deny her. She must be really distracted if she thought Tess had the upper hand here.

"Do you think I'm useful now?" Tess asked with a smile.

"Yes," Mairaela purred immediately, lowering her head to kiss at Tess' cock, "Yes, a thousand times... I needed this, and I wouldn't have it without you."

Tess felt good about that. She felt useful. Even if it were only as stress relief, Tess was glad that she could help out in some way. She decided to push it a little further, "What do I get for it?"

Mairaela's eyes were lidded as her lips came off of Tess' length. She bit her lip in a smile and leaned into Tess, "I'll suck your cock every night for a week, when we get back."

Tess shivered. She was enjoying this power, but there was no way she'd risk losing that offer, "D-deal."

Mairaela slipped off of Tess' lap and began to shimmy out of her underwear, but Tess wasn't waiting. She rose to her knees and bent the Fey over. On her elbows and knees now, Mairaela was perfectly presented to Tess, her panties only down to the tops of her thighs, where they were stretched to their limit. Soft flesh swelled around the edges just below an ass that barely fit in the first place.

The Fey was whimpering in need, arching her back to raise her ass and angle it just right for Tess, who didn't waste the opportunity. Aligning her cock with Mairaela's cunny, both already well lubricated, she grasped the all-too-fuckable sharp-eared girl by the hips and squeezed herself inside. There was no possible way she could fit that too-big cock into that too-tight pussy all at once, and so it took some thrusting and squeezing before Tess could fit most of her length into the moaning Fey.

Mairaela splayed her legs out further, one hand dipping between her legs to play at her clit while Tess pumped away. Tess was in quite the state, drunk and heated, she could practically drool over this feeling, and from what she could tell, Mairaela was in a similar state.

She didn't expect the Fey to speak anytime soon, but Mairaela whispered Tess' name in such an affectionate way that brought a blush to Tess' cheeks. She slowed her pace, sawing her hips back and forth to really take in the feeling of Mairaela's body squeezing her so desperately. Sheathing herself with such effort to push past those tight, gripping muscles, only to draw back with such pressure it felt like Mairaela's form wouldn't let her go.

Mairaela only seemed all the more thrilled to have this moment to concentrate on how she was feeling, playing with herself while at the same time being used so completely. In moments she was bucking her hips, trying to move more quickly on Tess' cock. Tess didn't even have to move anymore, enjoying the feeling and sight of Mairaela throwing her ass back and bouncing it against Tess' lap.

The Fey's tiny skirt flipped back and forth through the motions, her ass shaking with each impact. Tess took the opportunity to explore Mairaela's behind, squeezing those cheeks in her hands, parting them and pushing them together, cupping them from beneath and giving them soft but encouraging swats.

Once Tess could feel Mairaela's pussy squeezing down on her, fluttering like a quickened heartbeat, Tess stopped wasting any time. She rose up onto her toes and planted her hands on Mairaela's upper back. The archer's hips were angled upward at an angle only achievable by the flexible Fey, as Tess quickened her pace and made hard, resounding slaps against Mairaela's backside. She knew they were making too much noise, but there was no hope in controlling it anymore.

Mairaela gasped and whined, before biting into her arm and trying to muffle an ecstatic scream of having finally found release. Tess was close, and that reaction to their fucking only sped her along all the more. But it was Mairaela gasping, "Don't pull out or you'll get it on my clothes," that really sent Tess over the edge.

Slamming home one last time, Tess buried herself to the hilt inside of Mairaela. Her whole body tensed and relaxed, tensed and relaxed, as muscles quivered and toes curled. "By twilight," Mairaela gasped, "You're cumming so much..."

"What the fuck? Really?" Came Gwendolyn's voice from the other side of the small room. Tess couldn't even look, so enthralled she was by Mairaela's ass and how her gripping pussy was milking her for all she's worth.

"Shit. Haa~.." Mairaela whimpered, "J-just a second."

Tess was still quivering by the time she felt her own cum fill Mairaela so much that it spilled out between their bodies, dripping down the base of her cock, the sack of her balls and onto the floor. Toward the end of Tess' orgasm she shimmied her hips and gave a couple extra thrusts just to make sure that every drop was out, either pumped inside the Fey or spilled onto the floor.

When Tess pulled out, she looked over to find both Gwendolyn and Joyona looking at the two of them. Tess, breathing deeply, wiped sweat from her brow and asked, "Sorry, were we being too loud?"

Chapter 28 - Love in the Summer Court

"Only as much as a pack of hounds barking outside the window," Joyona replied with a smirk. The large woman was sitting up now, propping her back against the wall. She raised an upturned thumb to Tess and remarked, "I saw the end of it. You rut well."

Mairaela coughed into a fist as she drew up her wet, cumsoaked panties and shifted to rest on the side of her hip, one arm to the side to brace herself. Anything else and she would've made quite the mess.

Gwendolyn was sitting cross-legged, working that narrow leotard to its very limits in order to keep her covered.

"Oops," Tess said with a breathy laugh, trying to neaten her hair and clothes once more, but Mairaela could tell that her hard length just wouldn't go back down. For a moment, there was disappointment welling up in Mairaela's chest that she hadn't fully taken care of the problem for Tess. She could see a small wet spot of cum soaking through the fabric of Tess' clothes.

"Oops is right," Gwendolyn said with a shake of her head, "Believe me, I'd love to partake in some stress relief right now." Tess looked about ready to explode--though not in the sense that she just had--over the idea that Gwendolyn might want to join in on the "relief," as they'd called it. Her lips twitched upward at the thought of how cute Tess was. Gwendolyn might've noticed the growing excitement and added, "But you were supposed to be on guard duty. What if something heard you, or snuck up on us while you were busy? Not to mention we're getting a little less rest now."

Mairaela's pointed ears dipped in shame and she nodded her head. "You're right," she said, inclining her head, "It is unusual to go to bed in the Summer Court without a release from the day, and I've been doing that all too much at the barracks, but you're right about being on guard. I apologize, both to you Dame, and to you Joy."

Perhaps Gwendolyn felt some remorse and added, "But I get it." Mairaela and Tess--even Joyona--looked over at the knight with some surprise. Gwen shrugged her shoulders and admitted, "Morale is important."

"Her cock is incredible," Mairaela whispered to the others, a hand propped to the corner of her mouth as though she were trying to keep it a secret from Tess. She spoke loud enough for everyone to hear, though. A blush formed across her own freckled cheeks. Mairaela could feel the heat growing in her face. "You should give it a try," Mairaela encouraged Gwendolyn.

Tess was preening like a proud little cat at the praise, looking at Gwendolyn with the utmost excitement..

"I..." Gwendolyn started, looking at Tess and flicking her eyes downward for the briefest second, "I'm not interested. No offense to you, Tess." Tess' shoulders slump, and for a moment Mairaela felt bad for suggesting it. She immediately knew she'd make it up to Tess somehow. She nodded her understanding at Gwendolyn; No one was trying to make anyone else feel bad here.

Mairaela turned her head to Joyona in curiosity, but the giantess raised her hand dismissively, passing on the nonverbal offer. Mairaela looked sheepishly at Tess and said, "More for me." She leaned in toward Tess and kissed her cheek, whispering quietly, "I haven't forgotten about our deal, either." Truth be told, Mairaela was excited by the opportunity to have more fun with Tess when they got back from the Void. She was serious about the traditions of the Summer Court--home to the Summer Fey, her people--and had been at a serious loss for what to do about it in such a foreign place.

Tess was blushing and looking all around, so long as it wasn't at any other person. Mairaela couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

"It's probably close enough to my shift, I figure," Gwen said, looking around the room, "You three should all get some rest. The morning is going to be rough."

Mairaela considered for a moment suggesting to Gwendolyn that Tess could keep her company, even if only to get a laugh from the group, but decided not to push it. "I need to get cleaned up," Mairaela said, rising to her feet, albeit shakily. "Let's go, Tess," she whispered, and Tess followed suit. "One moment," the Fey whispered, adjusting to collect her bow and a singular arrow as well.

As they walked down the stairs, Mairaela couldn't help but notice the way Tess' cock bounced with each step. Poor girl, she thought, she just can't catch a break, can she?

Mairaela followed her down the stairs, but the two took it slow in their post-orgasmic bliss. When they reached the bottom--a stone floor with the wooden door to the outside--Mairaela caught Tess' arm and said, "Take off your clothes."

The pair of them both got undressed, setting their clothing in a neatish pile by the stairs. Mairaela took her bow, knocked the arrow, and aimed it upward. The next floor was only about eight feet high, but Mairaela aimed directly for the underside of it.

"What are you doing?" Tess asked, but Mairaela was happily keeping it a surprise. Her lip curled as she released the bowstring and fired the arrow at the ceiling.

Mairaela could feel her soul streaming through her form, watching the white mist of energy burning off of her skin as she charged her shot. She closed her eyes, imagining a serene place, a rainy wood, and forcing that thought into her arrow. She loosened her grasp and the bowstring flung from her fingertips, launching the arrow deep into the wooden flooring above. Vegetation burst from its emerald fletching, stretching, growing and spreading across the ceiling as though dozens of years were passing all at once.

Tess was mesmerized. Rightly so. The act was surprising enough to Mairaela, let alone for someone that didn't understand the feeling of having a gift. She felt bad for Tess at that moment, but tried to force those thoughts from her mind for now.

From the vines, water droplets began to bead and drip. More and more, water came dripping from the ceiling, until it felt as if clouds had formed above them. It was raining, as truly as ever, from just a few feet above them. Mairaela looked to Tess and smiled, but the human woman was gazing upward, amazed.

"How?" Tess asked.

Mairaela shrugged, "Because I believed I could, I suppose."

Tess shook her head, "Is that all it takes? Just believing you can?"

Mairaela took a few steps forward and wrapped her arms around Tess' neck. Though she was a bit shorter than the human, their breasts pressed together and Mairaela could feel Tess' cock trapped against her belly. Tess' hands immediately went for Mairaela's ass, grabbing and groping it eagerly. Mairaela went to her tiptoes, sticking her derriere out for Tess to play with to her heart's content.

"Now let's get this big girl to calm down enough for you to sleep."

Tess' smile drew wide and excitement built up in her eyes. Mairaela returned it with a gleaming smile before dropping to her knees.

Chapter 29 - Rescue

When the party awoke the following morning, donning armor and readying equipment, there was a silent nervousness that the group shared. The dangers of the Void had made themselves known quickly and ruthlessly from the moment they arrived. They have proved capable of handling them, but for how much longer?

Tess didn't have much to do in order to get ready. She had her clothing and that was about it. Joyona needed no help donning that magical armor of hers and Mairaela didn't have much armor to work with.

"Gwen?" Tess asked, "Can I help you with your armor?"

"Gwendolyn," The Dame reminded Tess with an amused smirk, "And sure, I would appreciate that."

Tess grabbed a piece of armor, looked at it from a few angles, and decided that it must attach to the thigh. She settled to the floor and brought it to Gwendolyn's thigh. It didn't quite cover Gwendolyn's leg, falling short by several inches at the top, but Tess assumed that was just the Void's typical aesthetic. A number of straps held the cuisse to Gwendolyn's leg, though it remained mostly bare in the back. With the second piece of armor attached, Tess worked with Gwendolyn's vambrace along the forearm. It was a leather material that kept things flexible, and Tess had to overlap a series of leather knots to tighten it around Gwendolyn's arm.

When Tess looked up, she saw Gwendolyn watching her with a smile. Tess redirected her gaze back to her work, finishing another knot. "What?" She asked with a sheepish chuckle.

"You look cute."

Tess' heart skipped a beat and she felt as though she could float in the air right now. She couldn't keep from smiling. "Don't distract me," she said, "Or your armor is going to fall off during a fight."
