Search for the Goddess Ch. 03

Alexis woke with a start, sitting right up and looking around wildly. She sat on the grass of the clearing, naked but cleaned of blood and cum. The burn remains of the Orc camp remained to her left, her savior to her right. The slave girl sat on her knees, startled by the sudden wake up. Lowering her eyes, the girl bowed.

"Are you alright, Mistress?"

Alexis rubbed her head, trying hard to gather her thoughts. Had she been dreaming? She thought she remembered something, but the dream escaped her. Giving up she nodded.

"Yes, I am now. Thank you for saving me..."

"Lana, Mistress. It was my pleasure."

Alexis looked at Lana with a raised brow, "I am not your Mistress, Lana."

Eyes still lowered, Lana shook her head, "Mistress slew my old Master, Chief Gronk. I am yours now."

Knights of the Heart were opposed to slavery, especially the sexual slavery favored by Makon. This also meant that the Knights, Alexis included, knew very little about slavery. The idea of claiming a slave just by killing someone sounded cruel and barbaric. She found it fitting for Sabacc.

"No, Lana. Your Master is dead. There is no slavery here, you are free."

Lana looked up now, confusion clear in her face, "Free? I do not understand Mistress. Master told me there was no freedom. Do you not want me?"

Well, this was not going anywhere. Lana was clearly broken into slavery, another crime of Ulric. If Alexis left her here there was no telling what would happen to her. With Lust spreading everywhere it probably would not be long before the slave girl ended up back where she started.

Sighing, Alexis stood up. She was still sore but felt oddly refreshed from her rest.

"You can travel with me if you want Lana. But I do not own you. And please keep that you were a slave quiet. Understand?"

Lana nodded and bowed, "Yes, Mistress."

It took some time before they finally left the clearing and were back on the road. Alexis' armor and sword were gone, something that Lana explained to no comfort.

"My Master came here to sell his goods. Orcs raid a lot, and he wanted to sell outside the desert. He also hoped to capture people for slaves back home."

Alexis did not like where this was going, "An Orc tribe allowed into Solan?"

Walking behind Alexis, despite repeated tries at getting her to talk beside her, Lana nodded.

"Master used gold to pay his way through. Or he offered me up. Many people accepted, and soon we were at our camp. While you were not awake the tribe took your armor and sword. Your horse too, when they found it. A woman came by and bought it all.

Alexis turned to Lana, "A woman?"

"Yes, Mistress. A silver haired woman with ebony skin. The tribe did not like her, said she looked cursed. But she paid much for your armor and swiftly left. Returning home to Sabacc, she said."

Alexis ground her teeth. The same woman who enchanted Andrew and her that night? What on earth was she still doing around here, or how did she find her? She glanced at the trees, looking for anyone that might be there. Ulric be having her watched. Damn her for not thinking of it before. It would seem their outfits would not throw off her enemies as much as she hoped.

Some of the Orcs 'loot' survived the fire. Alexis had found a sleeveless leather vest that was slightly tight on the chest, a leather skirt, and boots along with a plain but well-made steel sword. The only problem was that the Orcs naturally did not have female underwear. Anyone looking up her skirt would get a great view. Lana was more difficult. She had assured Alexis she had her own clothes. Alexis never thought that anyone could consider a V shaped strip of cloth as clothing. The tiny thing only barely covered her nipples and pussy, trying to get it to stay on her ass was useless. Eventually they found a look grey robe for her to wear over it. That settled, the two travelled on to the Temple of Jar and a hopeful lull in their problems.

Until they reached the Temple, at least.

Lord Andrew had told her that the monks were private people, but said that her status as a Heart Knight would be enough. But without her armor or sword, both having the symbol of her Order, Alexis had no way of proving to them that she was anything more than a young traveler. She had tried to prove it with magic, history, and even recited prayers to Alexandra for nothing. She was at least relieved to know they were not going to demand sex for entrance. Jar seemed to be keeping his followers safe from Lust for now. The monks, dressed in light blue robes and bearing Jar's symbol of a starbound book, would not let her in. In the end she convinced them to send a message to the Order asking if Alexis Rosecruise was really a Knight. She was pretty sure that they would send a letter confirming it, along with about three letters about how their Knight ended up like this. Until then they were welcome, like all travelers, to stay within the walled courtyard that surrounded the Temple.

Alexis sat against the wall, her legs closed up to keep some of the men around from eyeing more than just her looks. Lana knelt next to her, looking around the place with wonder. It still annoyed Alexis, but at least her new companion was starting to call her by name.

"This is amazing, Mis....Alexis...It looks so clean and proper."

"Do they not have temples in Sabacc?"

"Some. The great Temple of Makon is part of Suran Ulric's palace, and there are places of worship scattered around. I have never been in one. My human Masters kept their slaves out of holy ground, and the Orcs worship their own god, Krag the Warlord."

They were away from the others, and Alexis was curious about the girl. "How did you end up with those Orcs anyway?"

Lana shifted uncomfortably, her head now down as she spoke. Alexis had the feeling she did not want to talk, but still saw this as a command.

"My parents had me in a ranch outside of Sabacc's capital. My father built up debts with an Orc tribe and feared for his life. When I was four, he sold me to them. I was bought by several Masters as house labor."

"Did they..." Lana understood and shook her head. Alexis let out a sigh of relief.

"Suran Bloodrose forbids it until the age of eighteen. He claims that patience is a strength, and only more so when it comes to desire. If you lust for someone who is too young, wait until he or she is the proper age. You desire will build and make the moment even sweeter. One of my Masters did so for four years. On my birthday, we did nothing else but have sex. His wife found out and forced him to sell me off. My later owners used me for the same for a year. Eventually Master Gronk bought me and took me to pleasure the tribe on this trip."

Alexis placed her hand on Lana's shoulder, feeling pity as she started slightly.

"I am sorry to hear that."

"It is Makon's will. Krag's as well, according to the Orcs. Master Gronk was not a bad owner. So long as I did what I was told they left me alone."

"Makon's will maybe, but he is not the only god with a will. Have you heard of Alexandra?"

Lana blushed and glanced at Alexis, "I know you serve her by the armor you wore. The Orcs had a laugh about it. The Suran calls her a divine witch that goes against nature with her teachings."

Of course he did. Raise up rape and lust and call it natural, no wonder Sabacc has fallen so far.

"Makon heresy. The Lady is a bringer of Love, not the violation Makon and his servants force on others."

Lana frowned, "But we are going to Sabacc, right Alexis? The road only leads there; the tribe took it as well."

It was now Alexis' turn to turn away, mindful of how secret her mission was.

"I have a mission there. You are free now Lana, you don't have to go back."

Lana shook her head and leaned close. Alexis felt a small blush rise.

"I will follow you, Mistress. I have nowhere else to go. But you will be very unwelcome. Ulric does not tolerate your Goddess in his realm."

"Makon and his servants will always fight the good."

"And Jar writes it all while Luna dances. Godly debates have waged as long as the gods themselves."

Alexis and Lana looked up in surprise at the newest voice. A man in his twenties sat on top of the wall, smiling down at them. He wore an open fur vest with the hood down to show his blue eyes and shoulder length blonde hair. Leather pants and boots fit the hunter look along with the bow and arrows slung on his back as he gazed casually down at them. Alexis glared at him as she stood up and crossed her arms.

"And manners seem to have died before those arguments."

The man shrugged with an apologetic smile, "Sorry. I spied you two chatting and thought it was a crime for two beautiful females to be alone."

Alexis was unamused. She waited until the archer slid down and landed before continuing.

"And how much of our chat did you hear?"

"Enough, Sir Knight. Can't say I have seen one of you dressed like this. Did the Order finally adopt some sense of subtly? You may need it if you're going to Sabacc. Or a fat purse. Ulric keeps his borders closed like the legs of a blushing virgin."

Alexis was very unamused with the company. He was certainly handsome, but she had more than enough with men lately. They all ended up fucking her, and she was a bit tired of that.

"My armor was misplaced. Once the Order confirms my identity, I will have access to the maps of the Temple and the best way into Sabacc."

Unpulsed, the archer shrugged before glancing at the monks. "Why wait, Sir Knight? I think we can help each other."

Alexis looked at him for a moment before nodding for him to continue.

"I do favors for the monks here. Bring them food and furs, thin the animals that may harm visitors. In return I can enter the Temple. They do not care where the contents go so long as they remain in the compound. Now, I have been hired to hunt a minotaur and bring its horns. You get me the horns, I get you the maps. All done in less than a week."

The archer held out his hand. Alexis eyed it thoughtfully. It could take a while before the Masters even got the message. She needed to be on her way to Sabacc and find her mother as soon as possible. She took his hand and shook it. He held her hand for a moment, smiling charmingly at her.

"Chris Starn, at your service Sir Knight."

"Alexis Rosecruise." She pulled her hand away and turned toward Lana, readying for the trip and hiding the blush on her face.

The minotaur's home was not far off from the Temple, a fact Chris had only told them as they left him. He brushed off Alexis' questions of why he needed them to take care of such a close target with some shameless flirting at both her and Lana. The former slave had no combat skill, but Alexis was not going to leave her alone with the hunter. So they hiked through the forest until the tracks of something large led them to the beast. Around that time was went Alexis considered calling the whole deal off.

"Those are big, Mistress." Alexis was too bemused to notice Lana's naming. They were big indeed.

The horns were long and curved, with sharp tips that probably could have punched right through her old armor. But it was not the horns that Lana was talking about, it was the manhoods. By some sick joke of a god, minotaurs had two dicks, one above the other. Did everything in her way have to be some sexual force? Still, this changed nothing. Unlike Orcs, who could be fast and cunning, minotaurs were large beasts with more focus on strength then skill. If Alexis kept focused, she could bring it down. Quietly motioning for Lana to stay put, Alexis charged. The sound of her sword being drawn attracted the beast's notice and it charged as well. The Knight spun to the side and cut at its arm as it stormed past. Each time the minotaur charged, and each time she leapt out of the way and slashed at it. Alexis found herself enjoying an enemy that couldn't outsmart or surprise her. But the ground could, and did. As the minotaur went past her, Alexis tripped on a root and fell, her sword clattering next to her. The beast ran up to her, ready to impale her on the horns when a rock struck its face. The minotaur growled and rubbed its bruise when another rock hit. Lana ran out of cover with a large rock in her hands. Alexis groaned when she noticed that Lana had taken off her robe. It let her move better, but the minotaur's dicks were already twitching at the sight of her barely covered body. Lana swung the rock with all her strength. Which meant nothing when the beast stopped it with one hand and grabbed her shoulder with the other. Like playing with a rag doll the minotaur tossed Lana on top of Alexis and pressed its hand on her back. Two girls blushed and squirmed as their bodies were sandwiched together. A snapping noise told them that the minotaur and broken what passed for Lana's clothing and the slave girl gasped as it held its nose near her pussy and sniffed.

The beast could smell the arousal off the human and prodded her pussy with its tongue. It could feel her body shiver as her nether region already moistened. It was just giving her a long lick when a second scent reached it. The woman that had assaulted it also smelled of arousal. The minotaur had no concept of human clothing, but it could see that she wore nothing to cover her private parts under the leather skirt. A fact Alexis was deeply regretting as Lana moved her body against hers and panted heavily in her ear. Curious, the minotaur have the blonde one's pussy a lick as well, and was satisfied as her hips jerked as well. The girls moaned as the beast began licking both of them and lapping the liquids that were starting to come out. For Lana this was little different than the Orcs, even with someone else under her. Alexis wanted nothing more than to cut off that tongue, but she could already feel the familiar haze setting in. The vest felt heavy and cumbersome, and she had enough room to undo straps and pull it open. Lana blushed as she got an eyeful of the Knight's large breasts. The Orcs seemed happy enough with her own size, but Alexis beat here there. Both sighed in relief when the tongue retreated, only for something to be parting both their lower lips. Alexis braced herself as the minotaur penetrated them both. The beast did not slow or wait, it only thrust into them with primal lust. It had not been able to mate with any of its own kind, these two would do. It watched as the two girls moaned and gasped at the way it pistoned in and out of them. Both of them felt tighter than any she-minotaur, and it enjoyed the feeling.

The girls themselves had reason to moan. The minotaur was a wild beast, and it was fucking them harder than any Orc could. Alexis tried to fight off the haze of lust, not easy with Lana's breasts rubbing against hers and a large dick in her. Lana looked down at her blushing and panting Mistress and cried out as an orgasm shook her. Alexis followed soon after yelling load enough to deafen Lana if she wasn't in this situation. Both girls tightened around the minotaur's dicks, the friction making the beast climax as well. Alexis and Lana's cry probably filled the forest as the minotaur came in them. The minotaur looked down with primal satisfaction at the two gasping and exhausted humans before pulling out. So satisfied that it could not understand the pain it felt until it noticed the arrow lodged in its chest. It and the girls stared stupidly at it just as the second arrow hit it in the head, killing the minotaur instantly. Lana rolled off Alexis and they both sat up to find the source. Chris sat on the branch of a tree, bow in hand and the same friendly smile on his face.

"Hello there girls. Pleasure to see you again."

Alexis speechlessly stared at him before pulling herself up, "You were there the whole time!"

Chris shook his head, "Oh no, not the whole time. I was waiting at the Temple when I thought I should make sure you two did not try to run off with the horns yourself. It took some time to find you. Luckily the minotaur helped me by filling the air with the sounds of moaning women. For a beast, he has taste."

Alexis realized he was looking at her bare breasts and blushed, covering them with her arms. Lana seemed as unfazed as a sex slave could be. Chris chuckled and climbed down. Winking at Alexis as he passed, he drew a knife and set too work. Now Lana looked away as he began removing the horns. Alexis was too angry at the dead beast and Chris to decide who needed a knife to the head more. She just righted her vest and tied the straps into place. Two horns in hand, Chris motioned.

"There is a river over there. We can camp there and you can wash off. Tomorrow I will fetch the maps and we will be on our way to Sabacc."

Alexis glared at him, "We?"

"Yep. Iv decided to go with you."

"And why on earth would I want a perverted hunter following us around? Find some tavern whore for your needs."

Chris raised a brow before laughing, "Spirited girl. I like that. Well, Sir Knight, I suppose you could get to the border yourself. But then I am sure your Order are master woodsmen who can keep you away from all the dangers of the forest and desert and out of Sabacc prison."

"We can take our chances. It's not like you're doing this for charity."

"We can discuss it tomorrow. You both best wash up before the smell attracts more...predators."

Alexis sat in the river at night, the cool water failing to soothe her raging emotions. Chris was the most infuriating man she had ever known. He provided the meal and tents for their camp, lacing the kindness the whole time with jokes and flirting. He was like some of her fellow trainees in the early years, only they mellowed out. He was like those gate guards that shamelessly lusted for her, but he was more polite in his own way. And the way he looked at her body was annoying and flattering at the same time. He didn't stare like he was looking at some piece of meat, but he was clearly interested in her. It bothered her to no end.

Alexis was just starting to calm down when water splashed on her shoulders. A strong pair of hands followed, she knew who it was.

"It is impolite to see a girl when she is bathing, Starn."

Chris chuckled began rubbing her shoulders, Alexis felt her temper rising again, "I was just helping you clean up, Sir Knight. Lana is sound asleep, and decided to share the river with out."

Alexis turned her head and glared at him, not surprised to see him naked. He was not as built as Grank, but he did have an athletic body that matched his job. Fighting a blush, Alexis turned back around.

"You may have gotten the wrong idea today, Starn. I am not some girl that will sleep with anyone that shows an interest. The minotaur took advantage of Lana and we became stuck in the situation you found us in."

"Of course you're not." He continued to massage her shoulders despite Alexis' clear brush offs. She did not mind for now, though. It did feel nice after all the stress lately. "I knew the moment I saw you what kind of girl you are. Not a slut playing adventurer, that's for sure." She could feel him lean close as his breath tickled her ear, "I admire female like you. The world has enough whores. I can never seem to find the tough girl."

"Keep looking then. I am also not someone weak to flattery."

"No, but you are someone while far too much stress. I can see it in the way you walk and act. You..." Alexis held back the urge to slap him as his hands roamed down her back and wrapped around her stomach. Why hadn't she slapped him yet?

"All you Knights and heroes never stop to have some fun and relax. Your job, whatever it is in Sabacc, isn't going to be any easier with all that pent up in you. Take today. You were in such a rush to get the horns and move on that you never noticed you and Lana never stopped to think things out. You probably just charged in and look where it got you. On you back with a minotaur in you."
