Samira felt a bit weird within the church. There were several depictions of her all over, small carvings into the marble and the big painting with the animals. Elsie had explained the significance of the animals, but Samira didn't really understand. She could totally see why they thought she was related to the other two hybrid monsters now. This is as clear a sign as any.
But her own memory clashed with that. All she could remember was her village, her adoptive mother. The only memories of her birth mother must have come from when she was a small child or toddler. They were vague and blurry, and she couldn't even remember her birth mother's voice or face. Part of her wanted to know more, but another part was scared to know more. That'd connect her to the scourge of humanity, the man who set this continent and people on the current path. She'd be connected to Him.
"Samira?" Ana's soft voice cut through her dark thoughts. She was holding some books in her hands. "A-are you okay?"
"Yeah, sorry," Samira smiled at her. Ana had been coming with her sister every day to continue their work on the ancient language. Samira slithered over to the younger sister, shaking off the thoughts from before.
"I-is your magic bothering you? Or is it something else?" Ana looked up at her inquisitively.
Samira sighed. She wasn't as good a liar as she thought she was. "My connection to all this. It scares me…"
Ana tilted her head for a moment. "I see… I can only imagine the feelings you're dealing with. Y-you have us to talk to, if you need."
"That's true," Samira smiled down at her. She glanced back at her own depiction. It still stirred deep, daunting thoughts within her. "I guess I just have to be brave enough to face them."
"No," Ana mumbled a bit too quietly. "You don't have to. Not alone. You have us to help you face them."
Samira wrapped her arms around Ana and pulled her into a tight hug. "Thank you. You're right. No point dwelling on it now, anyways. Is Elsie here too?"
"Uh, yeah," Elsie called out from the entrance of the church. "Didn't want to intrude on the moment you two had."
"Nonsense," Samira gestured for Elsie to come over. "You are never intruding."
"Also, Ana can't breathe." Elsie smiled as she walked over. She had more books in her arms for them to look over. "Actually, I think she's fine."
Samira glanced down at Ana, who had wide eyes. The younger twin was pressed between her breasts and had stopped breathing. She let go of the younger sister and let her breathe again. "Sorry, sorry."
"Don't be. She was enjoying it." Elsie shook her head and set the books down. 'Pervert.'
'Hey!' Ana replied in their minds. 'Let me have this.'
'Shush,' Elsie shook her head at her sister. 'Though you seem to have brightened her mood significantly. Good job, sis.'
Samira looked between the two. It was quite awkward to sit by and wait for the twins to stop conversing in their minds. She slowly let go of Ana and let the two finish their internal conversation. Her eyes wandered over to the books they had taken from that fort, and all the words they'd been able to decipher.
"Ah, sorry," Ana muttered. She snapped out of her internal conversation upon realizing Samira had moved.
"It's okay. It's quite cute." Samira smiled at the two. They'd slowly gotten closer and closer to one another, hinting at the conversation they were having. Plus, the heat radiating from between their legs made it quite clear. "And hot."
"Pervert." Elsie shook her head at Samira. "Surrounded by perverts all the time now."
Samira turned to her and smiled. "Says you. You love your sister's cock more than anything."
"Nuh uh!" Elsie smiled up at her. "I like her butt more."
"Who's the real pervert, then?" Samira bit her lip. "Me? Or the girl obsessed with her sister's body?"
"You," Elsie said smugly. "You're the one who finds all that stuff hot."
"U-um, ahh," Ana mumbled. She moved to get between the two. She felt their growing arousal pressing into her. She reveled in the feeling for a moment, just waiting for the two to devolve further into debauchery.
But they were interrupted by the door to the church opening. All three jumped in surprise and looked towards the entrance. Toni was nearly skipping alongside Hannah as they entered the church. Hannah paused, but Toni rushed towards them. He threw off his veil as he ran, which Hannah caught before it touched the ground.
"Hello! You're all here!" Toni bounded towards them and quickly joined the hug. He pulled the two together, smushing Ana between them.
"Master." Hannah shook her head. "I think you ruined a moment for them."
"Ah! Really?" Toni glanced between the two. Then down to Ana. "My bad."
"It's okay," Samira patted his head. "We should be focused."
"Booooooo!" Elsie shook her head. She squeezed her sister and Samira tighter. "We were just about to get to the good part."
"That will come after." Samira pulled away. "More fun to make you wait. Besides, Lily said Claire was walking today. Maybe she'd be able to join us."
Elsie bit her lip and squirmed against her sister. Her cock was rubbing against her sister's pillowy thigh. The thought of Claire finally joining them after almost 2 weeks was intoxicating. "Fuck… Maybe I can wait."
"Good girl." Samira patted her head too.
"Nuh uh," Elsie shook her hand off. "That spell doesn't work on me."
"Not yet," Samira giggled. "Have to train you."
"Nope." Elsie shook her head and sat down at the table. "I refuse."
"G-get Ursa to do it," Ana whispered to Samira. "That may work."
"Oh really?" Samira bit her lip.
"Traitor."
"Where is Ursa, anyway?" Samira tilted her head.
"Ah, well," Hannah chimed in. "Seems like both Lily and Ursa had been too focused on Claire these last few days."
Toni nodded and licked his lips. He sat beside Elsie and pushed the tent in his dress down. "We could hear Lily's bed shaking from outside…"
"Hot," Elsie giggled. "But they both looked like they needed it."
"Yeah, they did," Hannah sat beside her master. "Wish I could have joined them. But noooo, Toni insisted I could help somehow."
"I mean, we get some eye candy while we work." Samira smiled at her. This caught Hannah off guard. She opened her mouth but stopped.
"I didn't know Hannah could blush!" Toni smiled brightly. "She looks so cute."
"Gods. Shut up, Master." Hannah turned away. She really hadn't blushed like that in ages. Not since before her training with Victoria. "Had to suppress that shit to be your knight."
"Oh yeah!" Toni scooted over and crawled into her lap. "My brave knight."
"Aww, that made her blush more!" Elsie leaned over to look at Hannah's face. "Keep going!"
"Shut up." Hannah looked toward the ceiling. She hid her face from the three of them. "Ana, get them back on topic."
"Ah, but I would like to see too…" Ana had crawled across the table and was staring intently at her.
"Please. I will leave to join Lily and Ursa." Hannah insisted. She could feel Toni teasing her with his hands. "I swear."
Samira slithered around and stood behind Hannah now. She cupped the knight's cheeks and smiled down on her. "Oh my. She looks so cute."
"Fuck off," Hannah grumbled. "I thought this would just be about the old text…"
"But that's so boring," Elsie crept closer. She latched onto Hannah's muscular arm. "You're more interesting."
"T-true." Ana bit her lip and stood on the table. She steadied herself and looked down at Hannah. "We've been studying this f-for days. We want excitement."
"Yeah!" Toni turned around in her lap to straddle her. "Much more fun to do this."
"Fuck." Hannah's breath was shaky. She really thought she'd just be bored in the corner while they focused on their books. "I-I think I'm going to go help Claire's mom with the harv-"
"Too late now." Toni giggled. He was pulling out her cock, which got her to stop talking.
"Ohhh, she's shaking now." Elsie could feel Hannah quivering. "She must be really enjoying the attention."
"I know she is." Samira cooed. She could see Hannah slowly giving in to the inevitable. "We just caught her off guard, is all."
Ana stepped closer. She leaned down and did her best to mimic Samira. "Aww, she does look so cu-" Sadly, she leaned forward too far. She fell forward. "Ah!!!"
Hannah moved fast. She shook off Elsie and caught Ana before she fell on Toni. She held Ana up as she slowly caught her balance once more. Elsie was too stunned by how fast Hannah reacted to say anything, while Toni was trapped between Hannah and Ana. All of them were in stunned silence by the display, each of them looking at a different part of the knight.
"Oh my." Samira broke the silence. She licked her lips. "Quite the fast reaction. May have gotten more than one pair of panties wet from that."
Hannah blinked. She took a deep breath, finally getting room to breathe. She helped Ana finish getting her balance back before addressing the lamia. She reluctantly pulled Toni's hands off her cock, vowing to never do that again. "That is besides the point. You all should be focused on this."
"D-did I ruin it?" Ana looked guilty.
"Nonsense." Samira smiled at her. "Gave us a special treat."
"Can't believe Hannah's the one suggesting we be serious," Elsie grumbled and rolled her eyes. "Still, we did say we would wait for Claire."
Samira giggled. "Okay, enough procrastinating then."
Hannah didn't know if she should be mad at herself or not. She did just stop three hungry women and her master from swarming her. By the time they got focused on the ancient language, she was kicking herself internally. She was quickly bored out of her mind while they worked their way through deciphering words. She yet again vowed to never do what she just did.
