Virtual Reality: Dragon Quest

The tall woman turned toward my unprotected companion, and my scream as I charged didn’t distract her in the slightest.

Renelle shouted, “The globe of darkness, Thakkor!”

I noticed the sphere between the statue and my enemy just as Renelle mentioned it. I was still way too far away though, and the wizardess was completing her spell. I don’t think that I even thought about what I did next. One second I was charging, and the next my sword was tumbling end over end toward both enemy and sphere.

The fireball leapt toward Renelle and I heard her cry out in pain. My sword seemed to move in slow motion. I continued to run toward the wizardess with my shield in front of me, watching the flight of my weapon.

Time resumed its normal march as my sword’s hilt hit the sphere of darkness. A sound like shattering glass was rapidly swallowed up by a loud drum-like sound. A second later, the shockwave hit me and knocked me off my feet.

As I picked myself up off the ground, I saw the sphere was shattered. The wizardess was lying on the ground a short distance from her previous position. Renelle lay on the ground, her robes smoldering. The wizardess levered up to a seated position and screamed, “No!”

The blue light around the statue intensified. I barely noticed it, because I was rushing toward Renelle with the words of a healmore spell on my lips. What little movement she made spoke of pain.

“Fear not,” a soft, serene voice announced. The sound emerged from the statue, but seemed to fill the entire chamber. “Leave this place, bride of the darkness. If you remain, you risk your own life, and that of the Dragonlord’s child.”

The wizardess let out a scream of frustration, and then spoke the words of a spell. She vanished from the cave — on the wings of an outside spell I assume.

I watched a sphere of blue light emerge from the statue as I knelt down next to Renelle. “You have done well,” the disembodied voice I’d heard earlier said. The blue orb then drifted quickly toward us.

Renelle looked up at the light and whispered, “Goddess,” in a pained voice. She reached out toward it, and I started chanting the healmore spell, seeing the painful burns on Renelle’s arms.

I never finished the spell, because the blue orb hovered over Renelle for a moment, and then slipped through her charred robes and into her body. Right in front of my eyes, all of Renelle’s wounds healed.

Renelle sat up and said, “Thank you, Rubiss. She then turned toward me with a beatific smile and said, “We did it.”

The two remaining wizards in the room vanished in flashes of light as Renelle first sat up, and then stood. Renelle suddenly tugged my arm and said, “Oh, come outside.”

“Renelle, what...” I started to ask, a little surprised by the strength of her tug. I let her pull me down the passage at a jog that bordered on a run.

Nothing seemed different when we emerged into the dull gray light of the world. I opened my mouth to speak, but Renelle cut me off by saying, “Watch,” in a soft voice.

As I looked around, I thought I heard something. It sounded like someone playing a harp way off in the distance. The sound steadily grew louder, and then it happened.

Light filtered down through the trees as though the sun had emerged from behind a cloud. All around us, the leaves of the trees and undergrowth took on the vibrant green I’d experienced in all the other DQ worlds. Flowers sprouted at our feet, leaving us standing in a clearing full of daisies. Honeysuckle twined up around trees, filling the air with the scent of flowers. Birds burst into song from every corner of the wood.

“Evil has been vanquished,” Renelle declared with a laugh, and then turned to me to wrap her arms around me.

When we parted from the hug, Renelle looked down and blushed. Though her wounds had healed, her robes were burned through in several places. Her right breast was completely exposed, and hints of her fair skin peeked through everywhere. I couldn’t help but look, and that prompted Renelle to grin.

She then cocked her head as though listening to something. I asked, “What is it?”

Renelle’s grin grew wider. “The goddess has asked a favor of me — of us.”

“Okay,” I said with a shrug of my shoulders.

“I don’t think you’ll mind,” Renelle said. She then reached out and put one small finger on the center of my armored chest.

I started as every clasp on my armor instantly opened, dropping a rain of plates down into the daisies. Somehow, not a single one fell on my foot, which was now bare. My boots were sitting off to one side, having come off my feet without me even noticing.

Renelle pulled me back into her arms, kissing me passionately as she reached down to caress my rapidly swelling cock through my pants. I returned the kiss with equal strength, and she let out a long moan when our lips parted.

“Right here in the open?” I asked as Renelle stripped off her robe.

She nodded as her robe fell to the ground. “To rejoice in the return of light, life, and beauty to the world.”

“You’re certainly beautiful,” I said with a grin as she stepped out of her robe toward me.

Renelle wasted no time in pulling off my shirt and pants. When she kissed me again, she wrapped her soft hand around my manhood and stroked it. As we kissed, our tongues exploring each other, I had the curious sensation that some sort of magic was searching my memory. There’s another spell I don’t know, I thought, to which I swear I heard a quiet mental chuckle.

Renelle suckled my bottom lip as we broke from the kiss, and then moved lower to kiss my chest. I couldn’t resist a gasp of anticipation as she continued to move lower, dropping slowly to her knees as she went.

She knelt down in the daisies at my feet, giving me a seductive smile and stroking her hands over my legs. With a lick of her lips, she leaned in and tickled my balls with the tip of her tongue.

I groaned and stroked her hair, amazed that a woman who’d never had anyone go down on her before was doing it for me — and doing it very well. She seemed to know exactly how I liked it, just a light touch. I was throbbing and dripping pre-cum as she lapped me until every inch of my family jewels were damp with her saliva.

With a final flick of her tongue and a little moan, she moved up to trace her tongue along the vein of my cock. She kissed the tip when she reached it, once again looking up into my eyes with that sultry grin that only made me throb all the harder. Her lips parted a second later and slipped around my cock.

“God that feels good, Renelle,” I groaned.

Renelle answered with a little moan as she engulfed me even deeper in her hot mouth. If she’d never done this before, she was more than a natural. Between her concave cheeks and her talented tongue, she was giving me the best blowjob I’d ever had in my life. She took me deep, and at just the right speed. It wasn’t long before I felt the tingling itch that preceded an explosion.

“I’m about to come,” I gasped to her in warning, not wanting to surprise her with an unwelcome blast.

Once again, her only audible answer was a moan. Physically, she responded by sucking me harder and faster. I was well past the point of no-return even before that, though. With a loud, gasping groan, I came hard in her mouth.

Renelle’s eyes opened wide with surprise, but she kept her lips locked tight around me. She slowly sucked me as I spurted twice more, my knees going weak as I breathed hard and tried to keep my balance. She released me with a pair of kisses on my still swollen glans, and then licked her lips as she put her hands behind her.

I dropped to my knees as Renelle lay back in the flowers, an answer to both the parting her legs in invitation and my own weak knees. There could be little doubt that she wanted me to return the favor, and I certainly had no qualms about doing so. Any worries about someone walking up on us were long gone at this point.

I leaned forward over her to curl my tongue around her right nipple. She let out a squeal of delight, followed by a long, drawn out moan. I sucked on first one, and then the other pink tip for a few seconds each, and then she gently pushed me downward.

“Do it for me,” she said in a breathy whisper.

I released her nipple from my lips with a pop and smiled at her, more than willing to comply. Her breasts rose and fell with her quickening breath as I sat back up over my knees and scooted backward. I lowered my lips to her folds, the scent of her arousal mingling with the fragrance of the flowers. I tilted my head to the side and pressed my tongue in deep for a full taste of her nectar.

“Oh!” Renelle gasped as my tongue slipped into her warm canal, sounding almost as if she was experiencing this for the first time again. Her juices were flowing freely, giving me a good taste of her. I wiggled my head back and forth, drawing another exclamation of delight from her.

Her scent and taste was intoxicating, causing me to lap her enthusiastically. I suckled her labia and flicked my tongue over every inch of her, steadily increasing the amount of time I spent on her swollen clit. Her sounds of pleasure grew louder by the second, and she twitched beneath me as I pushed her ever closer to orgasm.

“Oh, there — don’t stop,” She begged as I circled her bud with my tongue. She pulled me to her with her hands, even as her hips rose upward to press her sex against my lips. With a moan, I sucked her clit between my lips and rolled it with my tongue.

She cried out with rising volume every second, her pitch growing higher as she stiffened beneath me. At last, she let out a squeal and pulled me hard against her pussy. Her thighs clamped down around my ears and a fresh flood of juices washed over my tongue. I slowed down a little, but kept her coming for as long as she could endure it.

Finally, she pushed me away with a gasp to moan and cradle my face in her hands. I licked my lips, but that didn’t do anything about the thick coating of her juices dripping off my chin. She quivered and gasped, her labia twitching as aftershocks raced through her body.

Once she caught her breath, she sat up and kissed me hungrily, tasting her own juices on my lips. Then, she continued to lean forward, silently instructing me to lie down on my back. I was just about to tell her that it was going to be a few minutes before I could get hard again, but I felt a tingle run all through my body. I knew the sensation quite well, and wondered how she’d managed to cast the spell while her tongue was wrangling with mine. Regardless of how it happened, I was almost completely hard again by the time I sank into the daisies.

Renelle straddled my hips and shivered from a final tingle from her orgasm washed over her. She reached between our bodies to lift my once again hard cock, letting the tip rest against her moist folds. “I’ve always wanted to experience this gift,” she sighed.

Her words confused me, but I forgot all about it almost as fast as the question entered my mind when she sank down on me. I let out a sharp gasp as her bottom came to rest on my legs, completely enfolding me in her wet heat.

Renelle sat straight up over my erection with a moan and wiggled her hips, stirring my cock inside her. She cupped her breasts as her hips continued to circle over me, and teased her nipples with her fingertips.

I groaned and smiled at her, reaching out to curl my fingers around her bottom. “You look so sexy, and you feel so good.”

She answered with a little purring moan and leaned over me. “So full,” she sighed, and then rocked her hips forward.

Her hot canal caressed me as she rocked in a gentle wave on my cock. Though she moved only an inch or so with every stroke, the tight squeeze seemed to stimulate every inch of me. Her firm breasts swung in front of me, the erect nipples seemingly begging for me to take them in my mouth. I managed to get a couple of quick licks in, but Renelle started rocking faster, causing her breasts to swing too much to keep up with.

Between her rapid breathing and the increasing volume of her moans and gasps, I knew she must have been getting close. I wasn’t even close to that point yet, and I didn’t care. The pleasure in her face was incredible. I let my hands slide to her hips as she sat up straighter, now bouncing over my cock. Her head lashed back and forth as her pleasure mounted.

“Ah,” Renelle gasped in a high-pitched voice, and then dropped down hard over my hips. She threw her head back and cried out to the sky above, now filled with clouds colored in rosy hues by the setting sun. Her head snapped back forward in a flash of blonde hair as she trembled above me.

Every pulse of orgasmic energy flowing through her caused her to squeeze me even tighter. I lay there drinking in the sight of her flushed skin and the ecstasy in her face until she finally leaned forward to lie down on my chest to catch her breath.

“You look incredible when you come,” I whispered in her ear.

Renelle moaned and snuggled up against me, her walls contracting around me one last time. Her breathing had regulated by this time, and she turned to look up into my eyes. “So do you. Take me,” she said in a breathless, lusty whisper.

I didn’t need any more encouragement than that. I wrapped my arms around her and propped one leg under me, rolling us both over in the flowers. I slipped free of her as we changed positions, but not for long. She pulled her knees out wide and up toward her chest almost as soon as her back touched the ground.

I groaned as much from the sight of the anticipation in her face as the feeling of slipping into her hot depths. Her right hand went between her legs to trace circles over her clit almost as soon as I fully pressed inside her.

“Faster,” she begged even as I thrust back into her a second time. Her fingers matched her request, moving with greater speed over her swollen bud. She wanted me to come, but she wanted to come with me. Considering how deeply aroused she appeared, I imagined that it would probably happen.

Renelle leaned up to watch my slick shaft sliding inside her at an ever-increasing rate. I glanced down on occasion to watch her lips clinging to me, as if trying to keep me buried inside her, but the ecstasy in her face and her bouncing breasts drew my eyes far more. I could already see the rosy flush I’d noticed as she got closer to coming spreading across her chest and filling her cheeks. That only spurred me on to greater efforts, and she matched them by moving her fingers so fast that they blurred over her clit.

“Oh, I’m almost there,” Renelle moaned.

“Me too. Come for me,” I grunted back to her as I tried to hold back the pressure of my own climax, which wasn’t easy.

“Oh! Oh Yes!” She cried as her back arched and she squeezed me tight in orgasm.

That’s all it took. With a loud, growling scream, I thrust hard inside her to the hilt and exploded. That’s the only word that applies to what I felt. It was like every ounce of my energy pulsed from me into her with the powerful jets of semen that coated her walls. I could barely catch my breath, and I couldn’t hold up my head. It twitched upward with each spurt of my cum, but that was all. Only my grip on her thighs and her left knee against my chest kept me upright.

When I opened my eyes, I thought I caught a glimpse of something strange. At that moment, I attributed it to lack of blood in my brain. For just a fraction of a second, she looked different — almost as if another person was superimposed over her. I could have sworn I saw pointed ears, smaller, perkier breasts, and a slightly alien — but still extremely beautiful — cast to her features.

As her orgasm wound down, she reached up toward my face with both hands. I wearily fell onto my hands and kissed her, my softening member slipping free of her clinging depths as I did so.

Once our lips parted, I lay down with a thud in the flowers. I felt as though I couldn’t lift a finger, let alone get up. Renelle snuggled up next to me and we lay there sharing our warmth and our feelings in the light of a perfect sunset.

@===||>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We awakened after a brief nap to discover night was falling. I couldn’t help but smile at the moon in the sky with just hints of the brightest stars already emerging.

Renelle snuggled up against me with a satisfied sigh. “I wish this could last forever.”

“I could live with that.”

“I have to go soon, though. The goddess must resume her place.”

I kissed her head and said, “I know. I have a feeling I’m probably going to have to leave soon too.”

“It’s not terribly fair, is it?”

“Not really, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

Renelle caressed my chest and responded, “Neither would I.”

She then tilted her head as if listening to someone else, as she had done before. She nodded and closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them, my eyes popped wide open as well. Renelle’s eyes were blue, but the eyes staring back at me then were a bright, vibrant green.

“Do not be alarmed. I simply wished to speak with you a moment before we must go.”

It was the same serene voice I’d heard inside the cave, and I knew who it was.

“Long ago, I gave this gift to those who worship me, knowing the joy it would give them. Now, you have given me the gift of knowing that joy through Renelle. Even as she felt, I felt. It is truly a most blessed thing to know. I thank you, man from another world.”

“You know?” I asked.

She nodded, “I looked into your mind to discover what you knew of this blessing. It was most intriguing. Renelle will remember those things, as she will remember you. I will ensure she feels no undue pain from your memory, only joy.”

“Wish you could do the same for me,” I said with a sigh, realizing that I felt a little more for Renelle than simple lust.

Renelle... Rubiss... I suppose it was really both of them. A crooked grin crossed her face and she said, “It will not be my doing, but I believe you will know joy in her memory as well. Do not judge that old man too harshly. He has everyone’s best interests at heart.”

“The old man?”

She shivered. “Mmm. This blessing lingers. I may ask Renelle to share it with me again. You will learn in time. Now, we must go. You too will leave on a journey very soon.”

“I’ll have to find the energy to get up first.”

I’d no more than spoken the words before I felt strength flooding through me. She winked at me and smiled. “Now, we must go before the temptation to take advantage of your renewed strength overwhelms me. The world needs my power to complete the healing that has already begun.”

I opened my mouth to respond, but there weren’t really any words. She nodded and closed her eyes. When they opened again, Renelle’s blue eyes looked back at me.

“Thank you, Thakkor — for everything.”

“You’re welcome, and thank you, too.”

She placed her hand on my cheek and said, “Goodbye.” A single tear crept down the side of her face. It shone brightly in the deepening darkness, and then that glow spread, encompassing her entire body. A few moments later, I couldn’t feel her next to me any longer as she faded from sight.

I got up and pulled my clothes on. When I picked up the first of the armored plates, I shrugged and slipped it into my magical bag instead. There wouldn’t be any danger from monsters, at least this night. My sword and shield soon followed.

“Now what?” I muttered as I looked around.

“I’d go straight to the nearest bar to brag about how I’d just tapped a goddess and made her scream like a banshee, but that’s just me.”

I looked over my shoulder to find the old knobby-kneed man sitting behind me on a stump. I turned on my heel and took a couple of steps toward him. “No matter what Rubiss said, I’m not terribly fond of you.”
