It wasn't long before we were up and moving. Cici and I did get some sleep, but she certain tried her best to drain me last night. I'd swear she was in heat with the way she was acting. Honestly, she might be now that I think about it, I just never asked since I was able to satisfy her every time she needed it. We had gotten into bed last night, and her underwear were so soaked when I pulled them off of her that they were actually dripping.
"It is damn good sex." I thought as I was dressing myself.
I was getting dressed in the lightly armored black outfit that Clarissa had gifted me the when I had first killed her father. I looked myself in the mirror, and I had to say, I thought I looked pretty damn sick, especially with the black cape to complete the look. With the red eyes and white hair, I almost looked like some kind of vampire lord from a video game or something.
"You look so good." Cici admired from the side, and I turned to look at her with a smile.
If I looked good, then she looked damn good. She wore a short sleeved green button up shirt with the first two buttons undone, revealing a slight amount of cleavage. The black leather pants and the black boots that stopped mod calve actually went quite well with the color, but those damn pants. They were skin tight, showing off the glorious structure of her thighs, as well as hugging her cute little rounded bottom in way that actually had my penis stirring in my pants just a bit. Her hair was down and her long white hair was parted off to the side, letting long locks flow down to the middle of her back. God I am lucky as hell.
"You're so fucking beautiful." I said, and she laughed a happy sound as she wrapped her arms around my neck, and leaned up to kiss me.
I leaned down and accepted without hesitation, our lips locking and our tongues exploring. She began to pant and moan into the kiss, and my earlier thoughts of her being in heat came back to me. The kiss went on for several more seconds before I reluctantly ended it, her sweet taste lingering on my lips.
"We have to leave soon. We can't be starting that right now. As much as I'd like to." I said, and Cici giggled as she nuzzled my chest, "By the way, do the girls of your race go into heat?" I asked.
"Is it that obvious?" She asked me, and I laughed.
"You've been milking me like a cow." I said, still laughing.
"You haven't complained." She pouted, before her ears twitched and her face turned pink, "Plus... it's embarrassing. Being so horny that I can't control myself... can't stop rubbing against you. I feel the need to make sure everyone knows that you are mine."
That... actually made a lot of sense. She had been more clingy and possessive lately, not to mention her trying to use her vagina to squeeze the life out of me. I honestly found all of it cute. All the fucking was just nice, and I wasn't going to say no to that. Plus, I was more than a little possessive of my kitten, so I totally understood that.
Once we were set, I threw Cici and my belongings inside of my "Abyssal Storage," as I was calling it, and headed out into the main room where Clarissa and Marina were already waiting.
Clarissa was dressed in a royal blue sort of dress that hung down to around her thighs, with slits in the middle, the sides, and the back. A pair of shorts of the same color also only reached her thighs, and she had on a pair of knee high high-heeled boots. I couldn't help but stare. I never really noticed how good a figure she had until now, with her modest yet firm chest, slim figure, wide hips, and sinfully long legs. Her black hair was currently tied back in a ponytail, and her blue eyes stared at me intently as her cheeks turned pink.
"Eli... is everything okay? You've just been staring at me..." She said, biting her bottom lip.
Shit.
"Yeah, everything's fine. You just look nice." I said, deciding to go with the truth.
That wasn't exactly the full truth, but I wasn't about to tell her about the thoughts I was having. Cici sure noticed, but the feelings I got from her were not only amusement, but excitement. That also made me think back on what Cici had told me the other night, and the idea had never struck me as truly something to think about. Now though, looking at Clarissa, it was like a part of me, somewhere deep down inside, was stirring. Maybe I would be keeping that talk in mind after all. I didn't know her super well, but I did know her well enough to know how good of a person she was.
During this time, Clarissa had turned a very cute shade of red, and Marina was looking at me like she couldn't believe I actually said that outloud. She had on a silver set of armor with golden embroideries all across the surface in intricate patterns. Honestly, it looked pretty sick, and it fit her very well.
"So... um... shall we get ready to leave?" Clarissa asked, her cheeks cool off but still a little pink, and I just nodded. Coci giggled, while Marina just eyed me strangely.
"Oh, right. Where are your things?" I asked, and Marina and Clarissa both held up their hands, showing off rings. Probably those storage rings I had heard about.
"We can put yours inside one of our rings if you need us to." Marina said, but I just shook my head.
"No, we're good. I can do something like that. I was gonna ask if you needed me to hold anything for you. Should have known you'd have something like that." I said, and both of the women raised their brows at me.
"You have a storage item." Clarissa said, looking confused as she looked over both Cici and myself. I just chuckled.
"No items. It's a... Storage skill." I said, and now Clarissa just smiled and shook her head, while Marina looked shocked.
"Skills like that are incredibly rare... and you have a skill that lets you summon an army of shadow warriors... Elias, what kind of man are you exactly?" The armored woman asked me, but I just smiled at her.
"Trust me, Marina... if you saw what I saw, you wouldn't be as surprised. Let's just say... it's a very good thing that Eli is such a nice person. That's why he was the first person I thought to ask for help. You're strong Marina, but Karovac is a Duke... he could be A Rank... or even higher." Clarissa said, and that made Marina wince.
"Don't worry about a thing. You'll always be protected, even if I'm not around." I told them both.
If I did leave them without me around when we were in the city, I was going to leave guards with them. I was actually kind of excited to be going to a city in this world. I wondered what kind of things there were there. Food, activities, and more. Clarissa had told me a few things during dinner mast night, but since she hasn't been there herself, she wasn't truly sure about everything, but there was one thing she told me that actually made my heart race.
Apparently, this world had honestly to goodness fucking dungeons, and there was one right smack dab in the middle of Arbigold. My inner anime geek was screaming at the thought. According to her, clearing the dungeons up to a certain point would net you drops and rewards, such as items, weapons, clothing and armor sets, and even skills and skill upgrades. I wasn't sure if it would give me anything I could use, but I sure as fuck wanted to run through a dungeon.
With my words placating the women, we all headed out, where we were greeted by Cici's family and my mother sitting down on their front porch drinking something that was this world's version of coffee. My mom was still an early riser, that's for sure. We made our way over to them, and once we were close, my mom stood up immediately, and rushed over to wrap me in a hug.
"Good morning dear." She said, giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"Morning mom. Glad to see you are settling in well." I said with a happy smile.
"I actually like how simple it is, here. And Warren and his family have been simply wonderful." She said with a smile of her own.
"She is a welcome addition to this village, and to our homes." Anya said enthusiastically.
"I quite like her too. She's a wonderful woman." Warren said, and I could help but notice him staring at my mom's ass.
"Is he...?" I wondered, but my thoughts were interrupted by an energetic child.
"Helen is a nice lady! It's like having another mom!" He said with child like innocence, and that made everyone one, even the ever stoic Marina.
"I'm glad to hear that. Really... it makes me feel happy." I said, and my words caused my mom to squeeze me even harder.
"You go and help your cute little friend. We have all the time in the world now to catch up." My mom said, and that actually reminded me of a question I had.
"Clarissa, how long will we be gone?" I asked, and thay question made her wince.
"Well... the city itself is roughly a few weekw travel from Bergast. I heard it'll take a little of a month for Karovac to arrive from where he lives... so...it may be a while." She said, and I sighed, but when I looked back at my mom she only smiled at me.
"No matter how long you are gone, I'll be right here waiting for you." She said, and then leaned up to kiss my cheek again, "I love you, son."
"I love you too, mom." I replied, my insides suddenly feeling squishy again.
After that, Cici's parents gave their daughter plenty of love, hugs, and kisses, while Hiago just gave everyone hugs. He even hugged Clarissa and Marina, and the red haired woman actually blinked in shock, and then proceeded to pat the boys head. She couldn't hide that smile, slight as it was. Neither woman could hide their blushes as he made me promise to take care of the pretty ladies. I told him I definitely would.
"I'll ready the horses." Marina said, but I stopped her before she could leave.
"Actually, I know of a faster way, if you don't mind. You can just have your people bring them back to Bergast. I was thinking we'd fly. It'll save time." I said, and that caused Clarissa and Marina to stare at me, Clarissa looking a bit sick.
"Oh god..." She said, but I quickly reassured her.
"I've made a much better method, and it's safe. I promise. Trust me, Clarissa, we'll get there in well over half the time, I'm sure." I said.
"It's your choice, my lady. I... will choose not to question this. Elias, you are a strangely powerful man, and my lady trusts you, so... I shall as well." She said, giving me a small nod.
"This woman needs to lighten up a bit." I thought, but now my attention was fully on Clarissa.
"I... I do trust you, Eli. Okay... we'll do that then." She said, and while she was hesitant, she still looked determined.
I remembered her not being a huge fan of the last flight we took, but she did get a bit better about it towards the end. Once Marina had told the other troops the plan, we were all standing in the village square, with more than a few people waving at us and seeing us off. I actually caught Cici's brother running around and chasing a giggling little girl behind the crowd, and I recognized her as the small girl that was at my wedding that I had met. Tabby, I think it was. I hoped her and her mother were doing well.
"Okay... I'm ready." Clarissa said after taking several deep breaths for a few minutes.
"Alright get read-" I said, but Cici jumping into my arms made me cut off what I was saying as I had to grab her. Her hands went around my neck as one of my held her around her back while my other held her from under her knees like a princess.
"Really?" I asked with a chuckle, and her only answer was burying her face into my chest.
"You two are very close." Marina observed, and I just shot her a cheeky grin. Her face went slightly pink at my suggestive look.
Clarissa said nothing, but her red face told me that she was definitely thinking something.
"All right. Just relax, and don't wiggle around too much." I said, and then used my power to surround their bodies with my black power.
A translucent black barrier surrounded them, and they both looked wide eyed in all directions at the energy that surround them. Marina's eyes were liable to fall out of her eye sockets when my black wings materialized out of my back.
"Brace yourselves." I said, before shooting us all up into the air, causing the women to scream, except for Cici of course. She was content with snuggling into me while purring softly. I was more than okay with that as well.
Clarissa had showed and gave me a map of where the direction we would have to travel from here to Arbigold, but my insane intelligence meant that I had a mental image of it in my head that I could use to guide our way instead. Plus, rather than having to follow the roads, I could simply fly us straight towards the city, cutting off travel time significantly. So, with 2 screaming women, and 1 purring and affectionate one, we shot off towards the city. God, I really hoped there actually was a dungeon.
