Gaia's Champion Ch. 03

"As I said Jason, you've been using your power purely on reflex and in some ways, that's a good thing," Mina replied.

"How so?"

"Well, the thing about the magic of Gaia, is that it is pure Earth magic. What that means is that it will not do things that are unnatural or do not occur in nature. Like the hot spring for instance. It was eventually going to show up here, but because of the release of power, you... sped up the process," she explained.

"So, using it like I have isn't dangerous?" he wondered.

"Anything when used incorrectly, can be so, but not with the way you've been using it. It is not Death magic, which corrupts and destroys, but it grows and enriches. I've noticed that the forest is a bit more alive than usual today. Did you get up to anything last night?" she questioned.

"Well... I did kind have some primal level sex with someone last night," he answered honestly.

"That Liz girl from yesterday?" Mina huffed.

"No. The other one, called Amy. Something odd happened while we were at it. Normally, she is a shy and reserved type, who keeps to herself, but today, she is the complete opposite! Brazen and uncompromising in what she wants, which is completely unlike her," Jason said, bewildered at how much she'd changed over the course of one night.

"Did she say anything to you? Anything specifically related to her giving herself to you?" Mina asked, keeping her jealousy in check.

"As a matter of fact, she did. Amy, once we started getting into it, she literally demanded that I take her and make her mine. That she wanted to be owned by me and no one else, that she wanted to, 'be my bitch.'" Jason replied, still weirded out by the whole situation. "And that's not the strangest thing that happened."

"What happened?"

"I woke up this morning and found that everyone else in camp had some pretty hard and nasty sex. At least according to the couple of guys I heard it from. Though if the looks on their ladies' faces was any indication, it was a busy night for all of them," Jason finished.

"Well, by the sounds of it, you have gone and used binding magic on this Amy girl, which has in turn, bound her to you," Mina explained, swallowing her pride that another human had gone and jumped Jason.

"Bound to me? How exactly is she bound to me? Is she my slave?" Jay asked worriedly, thinking he'd somehow bound the poor girl against her will.

"Hardly. What you've done is something that was not unheard of in the old days, before the rise of civilization. The first thing you should know is this; you cannot bind those who are unwilling. If she didn't want to be bound to you in some way, then she would not have asked you for it. Granted, she has no idea of the full extent of what happened, but still, you needn't worry about there being any malice behind what you did," Mina soothed him. Relief flooded across Jay's face as he heard those words, glad to know that he didn't do something that was considered wrong.

"That being said, there are all other sorts of benefits that the both of you will have," Phalmina continued.

"Like what?"

"Well, you are now Attuned to one another, so that any needs that the other has, you will be able to sense them. If they're hurt, you will be able to tell what is afflicting them. If you need to find them for whatever reason, you will be able to sense them at whatever distance. The list of various benefits for the both of you is long," Mina went on. "One of the most important benefits though is that she will start to break away from how she has been trained to be and embrace who she truly is at heart."

"Whoa, backup! Are you saying that because of this Binding, that she is no longer acting the way that she's been taught?" Jay asked incredulously.

"Basically, yeah."

"Holy shit! So, all of that stuff she was doing before I left, that was all her??" Jason wondered.

"In a sense. I can get a reading on the bond from you," Mina said as she hovered over to where Jason was sitting and placed her hand over his heart. A small welling of lime green light poured out of his chest, gravitating towards Mina's hand. "By this light, I can tell that she has already broken down the mental barriers that have held her back. Though some still remain, she is on the path to completely freeing herself from whatever has been keeping her true self locked up."

"Well, that's a bit of good news and it explains a lot," Jason said, still weirded out but relieved all the same. "What about how my friends were this morning?"

"That was a side effect of your Binding with Amy. Judging by the state I've seen the forest in, you harnessed a lot of magic last night, then released it into the forest, but not before charging it with the sexual energy that the both of you were enjoying last night."

"So, I went and caused them all to get all sexed up so bad that they looked drained this morning?" he asked, a little freaked out that he could do that.

"Yup. There's also something else that you need to know about Earth magic. It will only work if your intent is that of the means to help someone or to be playful and good. Malicious intent will only weaken your connection to Gaia, unless it is in defense of your life and those you are defending. Using it in a manner that would be considered anathema to Gaia's way will drain you, until eventually, all connection is lost, and you are no longer a Druid," Phalmina warned him.

"So, I have to be a good boy in order to keep my new powers and abilities?" he said a bit drearily.

"Not completely. Being playful and such is allowed, as is being both a defender and a protector. And you have been very playful and the magic you've been using is more instinctual than controlled," Mina said with a grin. "You going to bring some of that playfulness with you tomorrow?"

"Oh, don't worry Mina. I have every intention of being very 'playful' with you tomorrow," he said. Checking his watch, Jason stood, before speaking. "I probably should get back, before folks come looking for me. Mind keeping me company for some of the way?"

Flying over to Jason, she sat on his shoulder and snuggled into his neck, while she sighed. They made good time, chatting idly about the state of the forest and the creatures that had gotten 'busy', same as his friends had. Though Mina could have expanded to human size, she liked being her normal size and just the overall feeling of safety that Jason projected. The topic of conversation was steered back to Jay using his powers and how he could learn to use them.

"Sadly Jason, there is very little, if anything, that I can teach you in the use of your powers. Being a creature born of Gaia, the way I use her magic is different from the way that you would use it," she stated.

"Like a bird trying to teach a fish how to fly?" he asked.

"That's one way of putting it. Aside from what I've already told you, there is one other thing you need to be mindful of. Your thoughts and what it is that you want to do, because the state of your mind will determine how your magic will be used. You've been reflexive about how you have been using it. If you want to maintain control of how it is used, you will need to put conscious thought into it," the fairy told him.

"Ok," he said nodding almost to himself. "That makes plenty of sense, now that I think about it."

They rounded the bend in the forest trail and the lake opened up beneath them. Jay could see that some of his friends were already out in the water, while others were sunning themselves on the beach. He looked and saw neither the shape of Amy or Liz down there. Must be in the camp, chattering like squirrels he thought to himself with a smirk.

"Well, I'll leave you to your human friends then. I need to get back to the glade and see what else has changed and grown since," Mina said, taking flight off his shoulder.

"It's greener now?"

"You'll just have to wait and see. Also, there's a surprise waiting for you when you show up tomorrow," she said with a wink.

"What kind of surprise?" Jason queried, interested in what it may be.

"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise, now would it? I'm not spoiling anything but just be sure to have plenty of energy for tomorrow," Phalmina said as she flew off, wiggling her ass at him as she took behind the trees.

"Hmph! Cheeky little fairy," he grumbled good-naturedly.

"I heard that!" she shouted as she turned around and stuck her tongue out at him. Then Mina disappeared, the barest tinkling of her wings being heard as she left. Chuckling to himself, Jason turned over various ideas in his head. Mainly about what he was going to do with the sexy little fae creature when he got his hands on her tomorrow. He made his way down the pathway towards the campsite and found himself entering the ring of tents before he knew it.

As he entered the camp, he saw both Liz and Amy yammering like they've been best buddies for years. Chuckling inwardly, Jay smirked to himself before looking around and sees that everyone is gone to the lake.

"Why aren't you two down by the lake?" Jay asked.

"It's too damn cold to go in there now," Liz said a bit snappily. "Besides, we're busy talking and enjoying the quiet. Well, what we can of it anyways."

Jason listened and sure enough, he heard the boisterous yelling and screaming of his friends living it up. He understood the need for privacy and though everyone was at the beach; they weren't exactly quiet. Snorting, Jason knew that the lake being too cold was a bullshit reason and that Liz just wanted to keep talking to Amy. The smile on her face gave her away, and he thought about calling her out on it, when another idea entered his head.

"Well, if you want someplace quieter and warmer, I know of a place that's not far from here. It's a bit of a hike further up the mountain, but it's well worth the trek," Jay stated, catching the attention of both women.

"What is this place you're talking about?" Amy asked, intrigued.

"For that, you're going to have to do a few things. Get your boots and swimsuit on, grab a water bottle, a towel and follow me. It's a surprise," he said, smiling.

"A surprise that involves us in bathing suits? Ok, I'm game," Amy said as she got up and headed to her tent. Liz shot a dirty look at Jay and he just shrugged as he made his way to his tent to change. Elizabeth huffed and puffed and decided to go and get her suit on anyways. If Jason was offering a place away from the ruckus that the others were causing, she'd go with it.

Despite her aggravation, Elizabeth couldn't help but smile a little at the whole situation. If Jason was to be believed from what he said earlier, he would be ok with her taking her shot at Amy. That is, if Amy even liked girls and even if she liked her that way. It was all a big toss up for Liz, but one she was willing to take a gamble with. The moment she ducked into her tent, she hustled into her suit before throwing her clothes back on.

Stepping out of her tent, she saw that Jason was already waiting and Amy was just leaving her tent. Tucking her feet into her boots, she heeded Jay's advice and grabbed her canteen and a dry towel. Once she slung it around her torso and tucked the towel under her arm, she walked over to where Jason stood, waiting for Amy. The brunette was only a few seconds behind her and when both women were present, Jay made the gesture for them to follow along.

Between the three, conversation flowed easily, Amy and Liz remarking on how lively and lush the forest appeared to be. Jason made a few idle comments here and there about it, stating that it was Mother Nature trying to make up for the harsh winter they had just endured. He also pointed out a few landmarks as they followed the trail and, from time to time, dropped into the chatter that the ladies were having.

They made good time to the broken tree, taking maybe forty minutes to get there, when Jason led them off the trail and into the woods. At first, both women questioned him about where he was going and all he said was, "Trust me." They decided to and followed along in his wake, relieved when the trail eased up as they found the old deer run. Liz and Amy were puffing a bit and had taken a few swings of water as they neared the hot spring. Ten minutes after passing the tree, they arrived, and both women were awestruck.

"This is where you were leading us?" Liz asked, astonished that something so beautiful could exist all the way up here.

"Yup. This place used to be just an old resting place and vantage point to get a good look at the mountainside. But now, it's so much more than that," Jason said as he shed his clothes. Amy and Liz followed suit, losing their clothes until they were just in their suits. After piling up their clothes neatly, they stepped over to the water and slowly waded in.

"Oooo! That's hot!" Amy said, taking her time to lower herself into the water.

"But not too hot," Liz squeaked happily, soaking in the warmth from the heated pool. Jason was already in the center, up to his waist in the steaming water. Both women made their way to him slowly as they enjoyed the heat caressing their skin.

"Indeed! It's just right. Is this the nice, toasty and quiet place you were hoping for Liz?" Jay poked at her.

"Honestly, no. It's better and the view... wow!" Liz admitted, shooting Jason a small smile.

"Thought you two would like this. Well, let's sit and enjoy ourselves."

With that, the three of them sat in the shallows of the pool, lying down and resting. They stayed like this for a good ten minutes, eyes closed. Amy however, was feeling restless and broke the silence with and declaration.

"We should do something besides just resting."

"Like what?" Jason wondered.

"I don't know. A game maybe?" she suggested.

"How about 'Truth or Dare'?" Elizabeth put in, with a twinkle of mischief in her eyes.

"All right. Let's play. Since you brought it up first Liz, it's your turn. Truth or Dare?" Jay shot at her.

"Truth."

"Spoilsport. Weirdest thing you have ever eaten?" he asked.

"Hmm. Pickles dipped in peanut butter and hot fudge," she replied.

"Ugh!"

"Hey! Don't knock it until you try it," she shot at him. "Your turn. Truth or Dare?"

"Dare!" he challenged her.

"Ok. I dare you to lick the bottom of your foot," she said. Without missing a beat, Jason sat upright, bent over and angled his foot until it was in his face. He then gave a long lick from heel to toe. Both women made grossed out faces at what he did, not expecting him to really do it. He even smacked his lips and said, "Salty." in a mock fisherman's accent, causing the women to giggle and snort a little.

"Ok Amy, Truth of Dare?" Jay asked.

"Ummmm, truth."

"OK. Kinkiest thing you've ever done?" he wondered, testing her limits.

"Hmmm. Ah! Had crazy beast level sex in the middle of the forest in the dead of the night," she said with a wink, causing Jason to blush a little. She then turned to Elizabeth and asked, "OK Liz, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare," she said, wondering what Amy had up her sleeve.

"I dare you to take your top off and leave it off," she said, earning a look of surprise and delight from Liz. A few seconds later, she had pulled her arms out of the straps and dropped her top, letting her tits hang out. Though she was a bit bashful, the fact that Amy had issued the dare was making her feel a bit emboldened.

"So, Amy, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare," she decided, her breathing picking up the pace a little.

"I dare you to take off your top as well and leave it off."

Without hesitation, Amy bent her arms behind her and undid the string that held her top in place. Once the fabric fell away from her breasts, Liz's breath caught as she took in the sight. A slight sag with small perky nipples and quarter size areolas, Liz found it difficult to not just devour that sumptuous titflesh right then and there. With a pump of her arm, Amy's top flew through the air and landed a few feet from their dry clothes. She then turned her gaze to Jason who was smiling at the show he was getting.

"Truth or Dare Jason?" she asked him.

"Dare."

"I dare you to stand up, go over to where my top is, lose your shorts and walk back here and sit between the two of us, naked," she said with a lusty smile. Chuckling Jason stood up and did just that, putting a bit of a show on for the ladies. Though Liz had seen his dick once before, she was still surprised by the size of it, when his shorts hit the ground. He was sitting at half mast, clearly enjoying himself as he walked on back and seated himself between them.

"OK, since I'm naked, I get two Dares, that I will put to the both of you to do," he said. Both women hemmed and hawed a little before agreeing to his terms and waited for him to speak his challenge.

"OK. First Dare, is for the both of you to do exactly what I did, losing your bottoms and walking back here."

Smirking, the women pranced up and made a show of teasing their bottoms off, jiggling and shaking their asses at him. They walked on back to where he lay, strutting their stuff. Instead of sitting, they stood right in front of him proudly, neither woman feeling nor seeming bashful and waited for his next dare.

"Next Dare, is for the two of you to kiss each other, like you're long lost lovers, reuniting after years apart," he told them both.

"Really? You want me to kiss Liz like that?" Amy said with a laugh. She turned to see Liz looking at her with a shy smile on her face. Mild surprise flitted across Amy's face as she responded. "Do you really want to do this?"

Biting her lip, Liz nodded, and Amy shrugged, thinking it would be fun. She wrapped her arms around the black-haired woman and drew her close. Caressing her face, Amy closed her eyes and pressed her lips to Liz's. At that moment, a spark erupted within her and the kiss deepened, becoming more fervent and demanding than either woman anticipated. Her tongue shot out, catching her friend by surprise, as it invoked a carnal dance between them.

Liz responded in kind, clutching Amy as she kissed back, letting her tongue lead the way as they kept on. Both women moaned and whimpered in need and want, their roaming hands caressing and squeezing their bodies. It was bliss until Amy broke off the kiss and looked guiltily at Jason, thinking she was crossing a line. Instead of looking angry, he simply smiled and said what neither woman expected him to say.

"Go ahead Amy. You've been repressed for most of your life and denied the chance to explore yourself and what you want. Embrace what you want and who you are. Just... let me sit here and watch you enjoy yourself," he said gently.

Amy peeped in joy and nodded, before turning back to Liz and engaging her in liplock once again. Before she did that though, Liz managed to mouth a 'Thank you!' to Jay before her lips were consumed by Amy's. Both women sat down into the hot spring as they made out with each other, their feminine cries spurring each other on.

Jason just sat there and spectated at the sapphic display of love that was unfolding in front of his eyes. Being a typical guy, such a show had his blood up and his cock stood at full attention, aching for release. Despite wanting to jump in and take Amy, he made a promise to Liz, and he had every intention of keeping his word.

He stroked his dick at a leisurely pace, taking his time to pleasure himself. The carnal action that was happening would have him hard for a while, so he was in no rush. Maybe, when they were done, the ladies might decide to have some fun with him, if they were feeling in a generous mood. Jay at least hoped for it, as he continued to spectate.

Both women were still kissing and pressing into each other heavily, their breathy moans encouraging them to continue. They migrated to the shallow area right next to Jason, when Amy broke away from Liz. Liz looked like she was about question Amy, when she saw the brunette lower her head and placed her mouth over her pussy.
