I know this is a Nonhuman category but part one has to deal with the plot. It's pretty useless is the story is just sex with no plot. Thanks to Phoenix for helping me with characters and the heads up on the name of the crystal. I don't want to get any W.O.W. people confused. Part two coming soon, Enjoy Chapter One Chad and Susan Franklin left the jet way, hand in hand, heading towards the luggage area. "Now that the honeymoon is over I assume we'll turn into a normal boring couple." Susan said as she held Chad's hand in hers. She was deeply in love with her new husband, and wished she could tell him the not so normal things about her. Maybe in time he would learn her inner most feelings, and her darkest secrets. "Don't worry sweetheart, I'll keep it more exciting than you can imagine." Chad told her squeezing her hand. "You know I wish I didn't have to work at the blackjack tables' tonight. I would really love to just sit and snuggle next to you." she whined. "I don't have to go back to work for a few days. Why don't I go with you and keep you company?" he asked. "That would be great! You know how much I enjoy it when your there," she said. "I know how much you enjoy kicking my ass in Blackjack," he complained. "If you would play like I showed you, it wouldn't be that bad," Susan said, kissing his cheek. "I keep trying to tell you I'm smarter at more things than you are." They got their luggage off the carousel exited the airport terminal. When they finally reached the car, Chad quickly opened the door. "Your carriage my lady," he said, opening the door for her and bowing slightly. "Oh my Knight in shinning armor is here again," she said, sliding effortlessly into her seat. "You have a real addiction with the whole 'Knight' thing," Chad jokingly said. Chad started up the car and pulled out of the airport. It was only one in the afternoon, so they had some time to kill before Susan had to go to work. "You know my love, you really are my Knight in shinning armor," Susan said, stroking his hand. "No matter where I'm at, I will always come to your rescue my Queen." Chad told her in a very unconvincing English accent. Susan smiled at Chad, but her eyes had a serious look in them. Could she let her heart flow, as she needed to? "Actually I'm a Princess," she said. Chad noted the seriousness in her eyes. He thought for a moment he made her angry. "Forgive me - Princess, I meant no disrespect." Susan let the subject drop, for now. To ease the sudden tension she rubbed the front of his pants as he drove home. Thankfully, they did make it to the house without wrecking. "Don't you ever get enough?" he said, brushing her hand away for the thousandth time. "Oh, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black", she replied, her eyes sparkling. Chad checked the phone messages, while Susan went through the mail for the last week. "Oh my God Chad, I got a letter from Feather!" Susan exclaimed. "You got a letter from a bird?" Chad asked. "No silly, she's a friend of mine from - well let's just say, from a while back. She used to work with me on the um, dealer circuit, when I was with younger," she replied. Susan opened the letter and began reading as Chad went to the kitchen. He needed a beer after the flight and her groping hands. Pulling a Miller Lite from the refrigerator, he took a long pull of the drink. "Ok, now I feel more human," he said. He went back to the living room where Susan sat with a puzzled look on her face. "What's the matter, honey?" he asked. "It seems Feather is in town, she wants to catch up on old times," she replied softly. "That's what got you puzzled?" "No, it's not that sweetheart. It's just we haven't seen each other for a long time. I wonder why she's here?" she said. "You'll find out soon enough dear. She knows where we live so she'll make her way to see you," Chad said, reassuringly. "Can I get you something to drink Susan?" he asked, breaking her thoughts. "You can mix me up a light Vodka and Grapefruit Juice. I think I could handle one before work tonight," she replied. Chad's bar was set up in the entertainment room. Smaller than the living room, but still big enough to have a bar and an old blackjack table. He fixed the drink and returned to the living room. As he entered, he looked over to the couch and stopped. Susan was clad only in her panties. To Chad, the site was magnificent, even with her clothes on she was still breathtaking. At 5 foot 6 with a slender build, she was average but it stopped there. Her deep emerald green eyes were mesmerizing. The same eyes he fell in love when they first met. Her breasts where large enough that when he lifted them up, he could squeeze and suck on at the same time. Her smooth bald pussy was a remarkable sight when it came into view. He spent hours using his tongue making sure she knew that. One thing Chad found puzzling about her, she always smelled of fresh Lilacs. She rarely wore any perfume but strangely, that fragrance was constantly around her. Chad leaned up against the wall and gave her a knowing smile. "I assume you're trying to get my attention," he said. "Sorry, it's that little Nymph coming out in me again," she replied, running her fingers over the front of her panties. "If you're that horny then, don't let me stop you," he replied, sitting Susan's drink down next to her. "Just to set the record straight dear, I think the correct terminology is 'Nymphomaniac.' he said with a chuckle. She took a long sip of the cool liquid, never taking her eyes off Chad. Looking at him, Susan put the drink down then slid her hand inside the satin material. Chad could tell what she was doing, even if he couldn't see her hand. "Would you like some of this, my love?" she asked, pulling her nipple slightly with the other hand. "It appears you're doing just fine by yourself," he replied. Susan leaned her head back and closed her eyes, as her fingers moved over her moist pussy. Her nipples have always been very sensitive, Susan moaned every time that she pulled or twisted them. Chad knelt between her legs, stroking her skin softly. "Tell me my lovely wife, what are you thinking about?" he whispered to her. "I'm thinking about you." "What about me," he said as he ran his tongue around her ear. Chad reached down, moving the crotch of her panties to one side. "I'm thinking about you making love to me," she whimpered. "Making love to you - or having sex?" he teased. "It was such a long flight Chad, you know which one I need right now!" she said, in almost a complaining tone. "I'm not sure I understand what you need," Chad said, as he toyed with her unoccupied nipple. Looking at him with pleading eyes, "Please, you know what I need damn it!" she whimpered. "You have to tell me, Bright Eyes." "I need, oh God Chad, please," she said, rolling her head from side to side. Susan pulled her fingers out and started pinching her clit. "You know damn well what I want!" she screamed. Chad pulled her hand away from her dripping pussy, and held it tight. "Nooo please let me cum. I need to cum so fucking bad," Susan begged. "Then you better tell me what you need - NOW," Chad demanded. Susan knew what she had to say. Acting like a common street whore always made her cum harder. "I need you to, fuck me. Please master, make your little slut cum," she said, pleadingly submissively. Chad released her hand and manipulated her clit with his own fingers. Susan spread her legs to accommodate his larger hand, while she toyed with her nipples. "Is this what you needed?" he asked, teasingly. "Yes Master, I need you to make me cum." "Since I will allow you to cum slave, what will you do for me in return?" he asked. "Oh Master, you know I will do or say anything you want me to," she said, relishing in the submissive role. "Anything you command me to master. I am your willing fuck toy." Chad quickened his fingers on her clit, causing her to whimper loudly. "Are you willing to put my cock all the way down your throat?" he asked. "Yes Chad, you know I will." Chad pulled his fingers off her clit suddenly. "No God, please!" she cried. "If you want me to keep going, say it in the way you're supposed to, slave," he commanded. "I'm sorry Master. Yes, I love to suck cock. I need you to use my tight mouth as a fuck hole. I need you to cum with your cock all the way down my cock sucking throat," she cried out. Chad pushed three fingers inside her pussy and stroked her clit with his thumb as fast as he could. Susan, overcome with the quick spreading of her pussy walls, became crazed. She pulled and twisted her nipples unmercifully until Chad thought she was ripping them off her breasts. "Oh my fucking God!" she screamed. "You can cum now - slave," he whispered in her ear. "Oh shit Chad, I'm going...!" Susan cried out. The orgasm rocked her body, making her thrash against the cushions. Her shapely body shaking so much Chad had trouble holding her close to him. Her breathing slowed and her exhausted body started to relax. "Oh God, I needed that so much," she said softly. Chad kissed her lips, allowing his tongue to slip into her mouth. The two of them kissed passionately as Susan fought his with the invading muscle. Susan pulled her head back, "You're a wonderful man. Did you know that?" she said. "What kind of a husband would I be, if I didn't give the woman I love what she wants?" Chad replied, stroking her face with his fingertips. "Let me take care of your needs too," she said as she reached for his zipper. "We can take care of that later. I'm still sore from last night in the hotel room," Chad told her. "You're such a liar," she laughed, squeezing his cock. "I'm going to take a shower. Will you get us something to eat before we go out?" she said, heading for the staircase. Chad bowed to her, "as you wish my Princess. I shall bring it to the royal chamber." Susan slapped his arm as he left the room. Chad loved doing things for her. Preparing dinners, or rubbing her feet after a night of dealing cards. She was the most incredible and exotic woman he had ever met in his life. She was funny and bright, yet mysterious at times. When it came to making love, she always gave of herself completely. He made some small sandwiches and diced some fruit for them. Putting her drink on the tray, he went upstairs to join her. Susan was stretching out on the large king sized bed channel surfing. She had her fluffy white robe on with her hair wrapped in a towel. Chad laughed to himself. He always found it strange how women could get a coiled towel to stay on their head. Setting the tray down on the bed, he joined her. "Is there anything interesting to watch today?" Chad asked. "No not really, just the same old stuff." She stopped on some documentary program and started to nibble at the fresh fruit. "She's right, not much to watch. Then again, lying next to a woman like her, TV is not a priority,' Chad thought. The program currently on today dealt with Fairy Tales and Mythical Creatures. The narrator was going on about folklore and myths, about all kinds of useless things. Showing a computer drawing of an athletically trim male with long straight hair, he started explaining about Elves. "That's what you remind me of," she said. "I remind you of an Elf?" he said. "Lets see, athletically trim, playful, straight hair, yep that's you. You also have the ears for it," Susan said. "I always thought Elves were short fat people who made toys," Chad said, jokingly. Susan looked down at the fruit she had been nibbling on, "You don't believe in that sort of thing, do you?" she asked him. "You mean things like Elves, Fairies, Trolls, and Goblins? No I don't, but I wouldn't mind having a crack at Tinkerbelle," he said laughing as Susan elbowed him in the ribs. "Not even Dwarfs or Sprites, or even Nymphs?" she asked. "Well, I believe in Nymphos. I think I married one," he replied, kissing her forehead. "I didn't think I was quite that bad," she said, her lips forming a pout. "Oh come on, I'm sorry, you know I don't mean anything by it," Chad told her, kissing her check. "Ok, you're forgiven," she said, smiling at him. They finished eating and Susan went to her dressing table to put her make up. Trying to get off the subject of Fairy Tales, he asked Susan, "So tell me about this friend of yours,' Feather I think you said her name was." "She's a dear friend of mine from the old days," she told him. Her eyes stared off as if reliving the memories of a time gone by. "Actually, she's a lot like you, tall and slender but without all the muscle." Susan turned to look at him. "She has a lot of "Elvin" features, just like you," Susan said with a smile. "Oh ha, ha, very funny Mrs. Franklin," he replied sarcastically. 'So much for that tactic,' Chad thought. Susan finished with her make up, putting the final touchups to her lipstick. Chad got hard as she pressed her lips together, and released with wet pop. Going to the closet, Susan picked out her uniform for the night. Her outfit was a backless tuxedo shirt and short skirt, complete with cumber bun, bow tie, and a short tuxedo jacket. She looked as if she belonged in a James Bond movie, but with a better body. "I always enjoy watch you put your uniform on," he said. "You just get a kick out of what it does to my breasts," she replied with a wink. The phone rang and Chad rolled over, painfully, to answer it. "Hello, yes she is. It's for you honey," he said, handing her the phone. Chad went downstairs to get another beer, while Susan chatted on the phone. When he returned, Susan was just finishing up with her jewelry. "I'm going to grab a quick shower, and then I'll be ready to go. Who was on the phone Honey?" he asked. "That was my friend Feather, I told her to meet us at the club tonight. Is that alright with you?" she asked. "Absolutely, I'd love to meet her. I've always wanted to see what an Elf looked like," he said, smiling. "Then look in the mirror, silly," she said, slapping him on the butt. Chad went to get ready. 'This should prove to be a very interesting night. Susan's old friend, a night of cards, and some drinks. Yes it should get pretty exciting,' he thought to himself. _____ September's was not a large club, but still roomy enough for a dance floor and a long bar. The cliental that it served were some of the 'upper' class of Virginia Beach. Chad was doing fair tonight at the table, he was only down fifty bucks so far. It was a Friday night and the club was getting crowded, it usually did about this time. People finishing with their late dinners, or an early start to the night, always came in around this time. There were four other people at the table and Chad sat in the last chair. Susan called it third base. There was still a lot to Blackjack he didn't understand, not that he minded really. Watching Susan behind the table in a skimpy outfit, flirting with other men to get them to play excited him. "Would you like a hit Chad?" she asked, breaking his thoughts. Chad had a nine and three against her king. Now Susan's instructions said only double your bet when you have a nine, ten, or eleven, and the dealer has a six or less. Chad on the other hand, added twelve's to that list. Chad put in another chip, doubling his bet. "Player doubles down," she called out. Susan placed the card down with the other two. Sure enough, it was a king of course. "Sir, you really should refrain from doubling on those, the odds are not in your favor," she said, smiling. "Well, I guess I'll just have to keep going till my luck changes. I mean, sooner or later your luck has to change," he said, looking into her brilliant green eyes. Susan finished dealing the hand. She flipped her down card over, "Dealer has sixteen," she said. She then laid the next card down; it was the five of hearts. "Dealer has twenty one," she told the players. Susan collected the chips that she won back. She had to lean forward to get them, so sometimes loosing was actually winning, since the view was great. She was getting ready to shuffle the cards when a female voice stopped her. "Is this for, boys' only, or can women get in on some action too?" she said. A slender women in a short, tight fitting red dress, was standing beside the table. Her spaghetti straps were so thin that they were almost invisible. It fit tightly to her body like a second skin, and the matching red 'come fuck me pumps', accented her athletic legs. "Feather, oh I was wondering when you'd show up!" Susan cried. She gave her long time friend a big hug. No one at the table was paying attention to anything, except the two beautiful women hugging each other. "Everyone, this is my dear friend Feather," Susan said, letting her go. "Well hello everyone, nice to meet all of you," she said, smiling at the men staring at her. "Would any of you mind if I sit down and, play?" she said, in a soft seductive tone. Everyone jumped up out of their respective seats as if they were on fire, except Chad. The only reason that Chad remained seated was because he found it suddenly difficult to breathe. Feather was an eye full. She had long blond hair, which reached down to the middle of her back. She had a slender build with long legs but she only stood about five and a half feet tall. Chad suddenly had a vision of Kelly Rippa with longer hair. Her breasts were small, 'about a mid C-cup,' Chad thought. Feather wore her hair pulled back over her ears. They looked normal at a quick glance, but after looking at them for a moment, they seemed slightly pointed at the top. 'I guess that's why Susan commented that she had Elvin features. Jesus now she has me thinking about Fairies,' he thought. Chad found himself running his fingers over the top of his own ears. His ears' were just as normal as the next guy'. Feather chose the seat next to Chad. The man on her other side smiled and shifted his weight toward her, hoping to score points early before the other players. Susan leaned over, "Feather, I would like you to meet Chad," she said pointing towards him. Feather studied him for just a brief second, "So, you're the one who has captured my friend's heart," Feather said, extending her hand. Chad grasped her hand softly, "Well, I guess that's me. It's a pleasure to meet you Feather," he said. "Oh believe me Chad, the pleasures all mine," she said softly. Chad noticed that she had the same captivating gaze as Susan. Her eyes were a very light shade of blue and slightly Asian looking. Maybe she had some Oriental decent. Chad got a small hint of her perfume, and was intrigued. "I don't mean to sound forward Feather but, what's the name of that perfume you're wearing?" Susan looked on with a strange sense of panic, which she rarely ever showed. Feather noticed this, and turned to Chad. Leaning in close enough for only Susan and Chad to hear, "I'm glad you like it, I just got it today. It's called Forest Mist, but you can call it Heaven, if it makes you happy," she told him with a sly grin. Susan let out a heavy sigh and continued to deal cards, even though the players rarely paid attention anymore. It seemed that Feather was the main attraction at the table now, not that Susan cared. All that meant was that people would be loosing, causing them to put even more money on the table. The night wore on, Susan and Feather caught up on each other's lives as much as they could with everyone listening. Feather kept asking Chad questions about himself. The other players noticed this, not to mention half the other men in bar. They seemed displeased that she warmed up to him instead of the rest of them. It was getting late and they called last call for the bar. Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 02 Sorry about the wait. This part takes up just as Chad had passed out from the Tulok root. He soon realizes that he's not in Kanas anymore and Feather isn't quite what she seemed to be, nor his wife Susan. Leave me a comment to let me know how I'm doing, and don't forget to vote. "My love, you can wake up now my love." Chad heard Susan's voice, he could smell Lilacs, but all he could see was a white fog. He tried to move but it required more strength than he had now. He was lying down on his back, on something soft and warm. The fog-like vision dissipated, he found himself looking up at a bright starry night. He could still smell the scent of the burning root, but he was sure that he was no longer in his living room. Chad's head turned to see Susan lying beside him. Her emerald eyes shinned brighter than usual and sparkling. "What happened, where are we, Susan?" he asked. "Think of it as a wonderful dream you're having," she said as she stroked his hair. "I must have passed out for a minute. I remember being in the living room, watching you and Feather." Chad felt something warm surround his cock and looked down. Feather was looking up at him, her mouth full of cock. "Does that feel good my love?" Susan whispered in his ear. "The piece of wood you were burning, was that some sort of a drug?" Chad asked still light headed from the smoke. "It's called Tulok root. It only grows here in the forest. I keep some handy for special occasions," Susan said. Feather slipped her mouth off his cock, jacking him slowly with her fist. She moved up Chad's body, but never stopped stroking him with her silky hand. "Welcome back, I was getting worried that you wouldn't wake up. You would have missed all the fun," Feather said seductively. Her actions told him, she's a woman who knows what she wants, and usually gets it. Chad noticed her hair hanging down, slightly covering the side of her face. Reaching his hand up, he pushed the hair back from her face. Feather became slightly nervous as her ears came into view. Instead of normal looking ears, they were now very pointed and slightly larger. "You're a...you're an elf!" he cried. "Susan said it's like a dream so, you must be dreaming I'm an elf," she replied with a laugh. "Calm down Chad. You were sitting on the couch, watching your wife tease the body of another woman. Now you're in a forest with an elf stroking your cock, this must be a dream my love," Susan said. Chad reached up and pulled Susan's hair back, looking at her ears. "Your ears aren't pointy like hers," he said. "Of course not silly, I'm a Forest Nymph Princess. We don't have pointy ears," Susan said, giggling at him. Chad head started spinning as Feather teased his nipples with her tongue. "Don't think about anything, except what we're doing to you sweetheart," Susan whispered. Feather leaned over, whispering in her friend's ear. Susan smiled as she turned Chad's head towards her, kissing him deeply. Feather spun around, taking his leaking cock into her mouth again. Susan broke the kiss, then, pushed Chad's face towards her friend's moistened pussy. "Taste her Chad. Push your tongue inside and suck off my friend," Susan told him. Feather moaned around his cock, as she felt Chad's tongue enter her pussy. She thrust her lips down to the base of his cock, sliding her tongue across the sensitive flesh. Chad's mind exploded as his cock slipped into her throat. Chad pulled her pussy harder against his mouth. "I know just how she feels. I know how much pleasure I get from you sucking my cunt," Susan said, teasing him with her words. Susan was not through torturing her husband. She pushed Chad's face away from Feathers crotch. "No! Please don't, I was so close!" Feather cried out as she moved her mouth off his cock. Susan moved down to Feathers face, kissing her friend hungrily. Chad watched the two women French kiss each other, as Feather stroked his leaking cock. Susan released her friend, speaking softly enough that Chad had trouble making it out. Suddenly Feather sat up and placed herself above his cock. Susan held his cock up as the elf dropped down quickly. She literally impaled her body with 10 inches of meat. "Oh my God that feels good," she cried out. Chad moaned aloud as his cock squeezed, as if it was in a vise. Feather was rocking back and forth on top of him. He could see his wife sucking on Feather's nipples while she fondled his cum filled balls. "Please stop, I can't hold out much longer," Chad cried out. The women did not intend to stop though. Susan lay down next to her panting husband, turning his head. "Don't try to hold it in, shoot a big load up Feather's cunt," she whispered. The events were too much for Chad. He screamed out in a mixture of ecstasy, and pain, shooting cum deep into Feathers body. She felt the hot cream blast into her, triggering her own climax. The sounds of the forest where drowned out by the high-pitched squeal of the elf. Susan softly kissed him while stroking his chest. Chad hardly noticed the flashes of light that filled his head. It seemed he was falling, spinning out of control. He allowed the darkness of the forest to take him, going limp when Feather collapsed against him. On the other side of the forest, someone else was screaming. It wasn't from the same pleasure that engulfed the human, or the elf. _______ Deeper in the forest, there was a large stone castle. The full moon cast an eerie shadow on one side of the looming stronghold. Now the home of the most feared creature in the forest. Once again, you could hear screams from deep within. It pierced the night like a bolt of lighting The lower dungeon of the castle was damp and cold. The smell of death hung heavy in the air. The stench was from the victims the sadistic creature trapped within the walls. It wasn't always a place of pain or death. It was once the castle of King Norgren and his family. They ruled the forest with kindness, love, and caring for all the creatures. He and his family were the most respected rulers the forest creatures had ever known. His wife, Bolara, was the most beautiful Forest Nymph that Norgren had ever seen. He fell in love the first time he saw her by the river. Norgren was only half elf because his mother was a human. Norgren's father met her while visiting what the Elves called, 'the other world'. Due to this quality, the other creatures in the forest found him distinctive yet kind. Not long after they married, Bolara gave birth to two children. Tork, an overactive boy, spent the days roaming the castle grounds. He always chased fairies, who just laughed as he tired to catch them. Norgren tried numerous times to corral his son's enthusiasm. Soon he would have to take his fathers place. Norgren had very little success. His daughter Shea was as stunning as her mother was. She spent her time helping Bolara with chores. On some days, they would help the forest creatures with their day-to-day needs. Everyone that met the family looked up to them. However, there was one creature who wanted more. He wanted what Norgren had, and he wanted it badly. His name was Morrow, he was as evil as an Ogre can become. Only a few creatures lived on the edge of the forest, they all knew to stay clear of them. Morrow was not like the others. He was smaller in stature but heavily built, which gave him greater strength. His only pleasure in life, his greatest thrill, was from torturing the Gnomes and Elves. Those who were unlucky enough to wonder to close regretted it. Both male and females experienced the same suffering, but the females suffered longer before they succumbed to the darkness. Sometimes he would force the males to watch as he abused their mate for hours. The screams and pleas would drive him on even more. As he got older he discovered the more perverted his torture, they more pleasure he received. Marrow had seen Shea a few times from a distance. He was obsessed with her beauty. The need to dominate her grew to a perverse lust that wouldn't stop. She never wondered close enough to capture her, which drove him near insanity. Soon Marrow's lust for Princess Shea couldn't wait any longer. He decided to force the issue. He waited atop a small bushy hill close to the castle. Marrow waited for the right moment when the king would leave the safety of his home. He would kill the half-human King then the two women would be his, along with reign over the entire forest. Norgren kissed his wife goodbye, then left to visit the Elves deeper in the forest. He heard rumors that something was taking them. Norgren knew some forest creatures weren't as friendly as others were, but to prey on Elves was foolish, given their fighting skills. Norgren was only gone a few moments when Bolara saw that his sword was still the door. He very rarely had a need of it. Grabbing it quickly, she ran out to call him. What she saw made her blood run cold. A muscular Ogre had her husband in his grasp. Norgren's body twitched as the evil monster killed the love of her life. Bolara turned to run into the castle, she saw Tork standing there. She yelled at him to run back inside, but seeing his father killed spurred him on. With his smaller sword, he darted towards the Ogre who was now running for the castle door. In the blink of an eye, the two reached each other just yards from the door. Tork swung at the intruder with all his might, wishing he had listened more to his father. The sword swung harmlessly in front of Marrow, the Ogre new this small child was helpless. In one mighty swing, the evil monster crushed one side of the boy's body. The hit threw Tork to the side, landing in the bright green grass. Bolara could only watch, as her son died. With little time to act, Bolara fled upstairs to retrieve her mother's wooden jewelry box. For almost two thousand years, it passed from mother to daughter along with the Crystal of Physis. She ran to Shea's room, removing the crystal relic from around her neck. She told her only daughter to hide in the other world and save herself. Bolara gave Shea the small root that would take her to the human world, screaming for her to leave quickly. Shea was crying and confused why someone would hurt them. She moved back away from mother. With tears filling her eyes, she vanished in a flash of light. Morrow found the Forest Nymph Queen. She felt a chill run through her as Morrow stroked his overly large cock. "It seems you were able to save your beautiful daughter, which will make taking control over the forest tougher. After I kill you and get the crystal, finding your daughter will be easy," Marrow said sadistically. _______ Over the years, Morrow turned the castle into a fortress. The lower portion became a place of perverse torture rooms for his victims. He would keep some alive, just incase pickings became slim. The current occupant in the center game room was a suspended female elf. Her long gown almost completely torn from her body, she was bleeding from her whip marks. Morrow placed two large clamps on her battered nipples. The tortured female screamed as every nerve ending was now on fire. Marrow could only take the pleading screams only so long. Moving behind her, the Ogre shoved his massive cock into her sore and battered body. To the unlucky Elf, his cock felt as if it would rip out of her stomach. She screamed out in agony, begging for death. He felt pleased by her cries for and end, but he couldn't stop thinking of Bolara's daughter who escaped. Thinking of Shea, Marrow pounded his cock deeper into the once lovely Elf. She screamed one long scream, for the last time. This made his approaching climax erupt. Marrow shot his cum forcibly into, what used to be, the Elf's womb. With one final pull down on her hips, the helpless elf twitched. Her mouth opened wider but now without sound. Suddenly she slumped within her restraints and died. The torture was finally over for the once beautiful creature. To Marrow, her death was exciting but still failed to scratch the itch inside of him. He knew what he had to do. He had to track down the daughter of Norgren and Bolara. Chapter Four Chad awoke in his own bed, feeling groggy and hung over. "What the hell happened? One moment we're in the forest having a threesome, now I'm alone in my bed. I really need to watch how much I drink," he thought to himself. Chad made his way down the stairs to find the girls. He could hear a mumbled voice coming from the kitchen. "The girls must be having their morning coffee," he said. Just before he got to the kitchen, he heard Susan talking to her adorable friend. "Oh yes, that's fantastic Feather." "Honey you'll never believe the dream I had last...," Chad said entering the room. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, what he saw might have been a dream too. He was right about them being in the kitchen, but coffee wasn't the drink of choice. Susan was on the kitchen table with her robe pulled open exposing her supple body. Her friend Feather was sitting in a chair, running her tongue in and out of Susan's wet slit. Chad regained his composure, "Good morning Bright Eyes. Enjoying your breakfast I see," he said jokingly. Susan turned to see her husband watching her while she held Feathers head between her legs. She smiled up at him. "I'm being a good hostess by letting our guest eat first," she said seductively. Chad walked over to the counter, pouring himself a cup of coffee. He turned around, leaning against the edge of the counter. He watched Feather closely as she assaulted his wife's tight pussy. Even though he was enjoying the show, Chad thought it best to give the two women some private time. He gave Susan a soft kiss on the lips and went out to the living room. He enjoyed a mostly quite morning, sipping on his coffee and catching up on the news. Occasionally, the moaning from the other room broke Chad's train of thought. It soon reached a loader volume with more demands from Susan to lick faster. About a half hour after sitting down, Feather strolled into the living room. The satin robe she wore earlier was gone, revealing Feather's tone body. "Good morning Chad, I take it you slept well," Feather told him. "I had the weirdest dream of my life last night. Now I'm nursing a touch of hangover," Chad replied as his rubbed his throbbing head. "Poor baby, that Tulok root will do that to you," Feather said, laughing as if it was a joke only she understood. As she approached Chad, she started to slide her hands over her firm body. "I thought you already had your breakfast," Chad said to her. "It's after ten in the morning, that makes this brunch, and I'm still hungry," she replied as she pinched her nipples roughly. Chad stared at her with disbelief. "Are you hungry, or just plane horny you little minx." Feather stood there, slowly turning the tip of her breasts red. "I thought you were smarter than that Chad. When you're around me it's the same thing, don't you think?" She looked down at him with a devious smile. "You don't mind if I help myself to the buffet, do you?" she whispered as she pulled his shorts down. Chad felt a little uneasy as she climbed on top of him, placing her pussy just above his cock. Here was this beautiful woman about to sit on his cock, and in the other room, his wife. Even if Susan was willing to share him with her friend, it still felt weird, good, but weird. Chad wondered if this was a continuation of the dream last night. "After sucking off my best friend, I really need a stiff cock," she moaned as she felt the tip of Chad's cock enter her body. "I hope you're enjoying yourself Feather." Feather just moaned loudly as she started riding him. Chad decided to turn the tables on her for a change. "Does that feel good you little slut?" Chad said, pulling her abused nipples. "Oh fuck yes, fuck yes, fuck yes," she said each time she bottomed out against his cum filled balls. "God I feel so stuffed, my cunt feels so fucking stuffed!" "You're just like Susan. When you get a big cock inside your cunt, you turn into a slut," Chad whispered in her ear. "Yes, yes, yes..." she said as she fucked herself. "You turn into a nasty cum – loving – slut, don't you?" "Yes, I turn into a slut, a fucking slut." Now Chad had her, he knew what buttons to push. "You like being called names don't you - whore?" "Oh God no, please don't, I won't be able to stop," she pleaded with him "Ride my cock, you fucking whore," Chad growled at her. Feather was whimpering now, moving her hips faster and faster. A movement from behind Feather caught his eye. It was Susan. She had discarded her robe but now she wore a very thick strap on dildo. She put a finger to her lips to silence him, then, moved behind her friend. The foot long fake cock was dripping KY onto the carpet. Susan grabbed a handful of Feathers blond hair. "That's not very polite. Getting your pussy crammed full of my husband's cock, without letting me watch," Susan whispered to her. "Oh God, please don't make me stop. I really need to get fucked! I always need to get fucked, after sucking a wet juicy slit," she cried out. "Then that's exactly what you'll get. You cock hungry slut." Susan pulled Feathers ass checks open. In one swift move, she buried half the rubber cock up Feather's ass. "Oh fuck, you sweet bitch. Now I'm getting fucked," she screamed. The two worked in unison. Chad would pull his cock out, as Susan would shove the strap on deeper up her friend's tight ass. Feather's breathing was rapid as if she were hyperventilating. Her body was slick from sweat, making her slide between them as they fucked her holes. Susan turned Feathers face towards her, knowing exactly what button to push next. When she opened her eyes to look at Susan, she pushed them. "I know exactly what you need slut. I know how much you like it when you get, used. You're a just a piece of meat." Feather couldn't speak even if she wanted to, she just whimpered. "I know how much you need it. How much you love being ass fucked. Beg my darling husband to do what you need done," Susan said seductively. Feather looked at Chad through glazed eyes, finding it difficult to speak. "Please do it Chad, please," she said softly. Chad knew where Susan was going with this, "that's not how you beg whore," he said with a demanding tone. "Please, oh my fucking God. Please, use me Chad. My fucking cunt needs used. Treat me like the whore I am. Hurt me if you want, just fuck me," she pleaded with him. Chad pushed his cock in as far it would go, pressing against her cervix. At the same time, he grabbed her clit between two fingers and squeezed. "Do it now Susan," Chad told his wife. Susan shoved every inch into her best friend's ass. Feathers eyes turned up, trying to roll back in her head. Her body was shaking uncontrollable as if she was having a seizure. It was hard to hold onto her as she screamed out like a possessed woman. Susan clamped her mouth against Feather's, shoving her tongue in. She finished screaming into Susan open mouth. Chad could feel the juice leaking out her abused pussy. There was so much, it felt like she lost control of her bladder. Feather went limp and slid off to the side of Chad. She was now a pile of well-fucked meat. Susan knelt between her husband's legs, putting his wet cock into her mouth. She knew what he liked to do when she gave head. As she bobbed up and down, Chad grabbed the sides of her face and began force fucking his cock deeper. When his cock started shooting, he pulled her head down which forced the head to enter her throat. Susan never tasted any of his cum. If this was a continuation of the dream last night, he never wanted to wake up. Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 03 This Chapter deals with developing the story line. All sex and no story is pretty boring and doesn't work your imagination very much. This ties in a lot of who the characters are so you can follow them while they... All most gave it away. Thanks for the comments and votes, keep it coming. Enjoy the journey. * Morrow roamed the forest, hoping to find a Forest Nymph or Elf to abuse. Even though Elves are good screamers, the pleasure from a young Nymph was ten times better. Generally, he never had to travel this deep in the forest, but victims were scarce these days. Creatures were hiding deeper for safety. Soon he caught a familiar scent in the air, one he had not inhaled for some time. Marrow came upon a clearing where the odor was overwhelming. As he knelt in the grass, he knew that, Shea had recently been here with an elf. Strangely, another scent was there. He couldn't place it but it reminded him of...a human. Shea had been here with a human and an elf, which made his disgust of humans even greater. Marrow knew he was going to make her pay when he found her. If she had the elf with her, then that would be a bonus. Something else was interesting, lying next to the matted down grass was a broken piece of Tulok root. Tulok root is the only way to travel to the human world. Bolara was wise to hide her child there. One other thing stood to reason. Since Bolara didn't have the Crystal of Physis, then Shea must have it with her. Having the crystal would increase his power over the forest. His evil reign would forever be, without question. Taking the small piece of Tulok root, he retreated into the forest to plan his revenge on Bolara's daughter, who had eluded him all these years. The sky was darkening as Marrow reached the castle. Knowing that the root will take him to Shea he still had to be careful. He must retrieve the Crystal of Physis intact. He moved down to the lower levels where he kept his victims, he needed time to plan. He walked up to the cell holding one of his victim's. He smiled at the ragged looking women cowering in the corner. "Tell me what you know about the Crystal of Physis bitch." The woman looked up at the evil Ogre and cried. She knew that after all these years, Marrow found Princess Shea. _______ Susan and Feather sat at the kitchen table, talking over a tall cool drink. "Now that Chad is out running errands, we can talk freely," Susan said. "Why in the name of Artemis haven't you told him about your 'real' self Shea?" Feather demanded. It had been a long time since Susan heard her real name. So many years have passed since Marrow took over the forest by killing her family. A tear rolled down her cheek remembering the look on her mother's face, as the Tulok root took her to the human world. "You know damn well he won't believe me. He thought he was having some weird dream last night. Besides, I've already tried before, he thinks it's some kind of role playing game," Susan said sadly. Feather held her friends hand. She wished she could make it better for her. "Shea, I saw you last night in the forest. You had that sparkle in your eyes again. Just like I remember," Feather said. "Oh Feather, it felt so good to be there again. I really miss it, but it's too dangerous to be there," Susan said as she slipped farther into depression. "Listen Shea, you know we were too deep in the forest for Marrow to have sensed you. You know it's just the crystal he's after," Feather pointed out. "Damn it Feather, don't you understand. He killed my family! He probably tortured my mother to death to find the crystal, and me. I saw the look in my mother's eyes. He wanted us both!" Susan took a breath to calm down "I'm the last one of the family left, he needs me dead to rule the forest completely. I can never go back, there's too much at stake. Besides Feather, if you didn't notice, Chad still thinks it's a dream," Susan said. "I can tell you this much. Your husband's cock is a dream," Feather said, trying to break the tension. "You horny little elf, don't you think about anything else except when the next cock will pass by?" Susan said, slapping her hand. "You have to be kidding me. Like you have room to talk Princess Shea," Feather said mockingly. _______ Chad finished his errands and stopped off at a bar for a quick cold one. It was a long night, and even longer morning. He had to sit and try to figure all this out. It was extremely possible these two women would be the death of him. The bartender, a cute little blond girl named Jess, sauntered up to the edge. "What will it be today Chad?" She smiled at him. "Let's keep is simple today, Miller Lite bottle if you don't mind dear." She quickly pulled a fresh bottle out, placing it on the bar. Chad had a quizzical look on his face. She sensed something was wrong. "What's the matter? You look like you're here, but you're not?" She questioned. "I had a really weird dream last night. I'm just trying to sort it all out," Chad replied not wanting to revel too much of the details. "We all have dreams, but the question is, whether or not you enjoyed it?" Jess said, as she leaned in towards the bar. "Oh I enjoyed it a lot. The weird thing is...it seemed so real. I swear it was the most realistic thing I've ever experienced," he told her. "It wouldn't by chance involve a woman, would it?" Chad looked at her and decided to let a little more out. "Well, Miss Nosey, if you must know there were two women. The weird thing is it was an Elf and a Forest Nymph Princess," he said. She tilted her head back and laughed. "See what you get when you drink too much. You start having nightmares, and since you're a male, it had to be with two women. Men are so predictable," she said sarcastically. "My boyfriend has the same dream, except not with forest creatures. Maybe I should give a dream like that a try. I wouldn't mind a few hunky construction workers. You know the type, well built and who know how to...hammer," Jess said with a smile spreading across her face. He was going to have to ask Susan about that strange root. What was something like that doing in the house? He knew Susan didn't do drugs, but if that root could do that, what else didn't he know about his lovely wife. Finishing his beer Chad paid and gave Jess a tip for the service. As he left, he heard the cute little bartender speak up. "Hey Chad, let me know if you run across any of those hunky construction workers. I need my pool fixed," she said. Chad paused for a moment. "Wait a minute Jess, you don't have a pool," Chad replied. "I know, that's the whole idea silly," the little blond haired girl said seductively. Back at the house, the two women busied themselves cleaning up from the morning escapades. Feather was a little wobbly but still helped, just slowly. "I'll tell you what Feather, if you get the dishes I'll make the bed up," Susan told her. "Well I wouldn't get too carried away. When Chad comes back, we might just mess it up again," Feather said, brushing a hand over her breast. Susan just shook her head and went upstairs. Feather laughed and went to the kitchen to start the dishes. Feather was just finishing the dishes, when she heard Susan scream. It wasn't a scream of pain, but fear. She'd heard it too many times in the past years. Bolting up the stairs, she went straight for the master bedroom. What she saw made her blood turn cold. Near the bed was her friend, she was in the grasp of the evil Ogre Marrow. 'How in the hell could he get here? It was impossible without the Tulok root. How did he know Shea was in the human world?' she thought "You must be the little Elvin bitch she was with. Don't worry, when I get the little princess here back to the castle, I'll come back for you too. I wouldn't mind a little threesome before I torture you both to death," he growled at her. Feather took a step back in fear. Suddenly, they were gone in a flash of bright light, forcing her to turn away. "How could this happen? It wasn't possible without the root? He must have found it somewhere. The only ones who could get it were the Elves. Unless he tortured one for it," she said aloud. Now she had to tell Chad that his wife was a prisoner of pure evil. Chad had arrived home and as soon as he entered the house, he heard a woman scream. He quickly took the stairs three at a time, exploding into the bedroom. There he saw Feather on her knees, sobbing uncontrollably. "Feather what happened?" he demanded. Chad picked her up and set her on the bed. "Feather, please try to calm down and tell me what happened," he said slowly, trying to calm the crying woman down. "She's gone, he took her," Feather said, trying to catch her breath. "Feather you're not making sense. Who took her? Who took Susan?" He pleaded with her. "Chad, you better sit down. This is going to be a lot for you to take in," Feather said, wiping the tears from her face. Chad set down next to the woman who just hours ago, was cumming while his wife rammed a strap-on dildo up her ass. "I know you think you were dreaming last night. Let me assure you, it was no dream," Feather started out. "What happened was real. Shea told you the truth. She's a...Forest Nymph. We took you to the forest because she wanted to experience it once more, with you." She said. "You've got to be kidding me! Are you trying to tell me that my wife isn't my wife, but some kind of creature? What in God's name are you saying Feather? This is insane! Now tell me, what the fuck happened to Susan," he screamed. "This is exactly why she didn't tell you, stupid! She knew you'd think she was psychotic, and then have her committed. Why do humans have to be so damn thick headed?" she screamed back at him. "I'm calling the police right now. You better have another answer than that," he said as he picked up the phone. "Go ahead and call. They'll lock us both up. Probably in one those rubber rooms you humans are so found of," Feather said in a condescending tone. "If it is proof you want, then proof it shall be. You should know something first Chad. You are the only chance that Shea has of being found alive." Feather said "What the hell are you talking about Feather?" Chad asked. "She was taken by an Ogre named Marrow. He took over power in the forest by killing Shea's family," Feather said. "Damn it Feather, why do you keep calling her Shea?" he asked sternly. "That's her real name stupid, not Susan. Her family was the ruling clan in the forest, and now, she is the last surviving member. Marrow needs to kill her so he can take control of everything and everyone. That, and the Crystal of Physis," she told him. "You're not making any sense again, what crystal?" Chad said as he rubbed his head. "Chad, do you remember the crystal she used last night to open the jewelry box?" she asked. "You mean that thing she had around her neck?" he asked. "Get it and the box and I'll explain everything to you. Then you'll understand what I'm telling you. It's not a dream, it's a nightmare," she explained. Chad went through her things, looking for the crystal. He finally found the stone in a false bottom of her large jewelry chest. Handing the box and crystal to Feather, she inserted the sleek looking object into the hole and produced the Tulok root. "Oh no you don't Feather, not that thing again!" he said sternly. "Listen to me Chad you have to understand what's happening. The only way to move between your world and ours is Tulok root. The only way to get it is for an Elf to find it. We're the only ones who can," Feather explained. "Somehow Marrow got a piece, then found out that Shea was in the human world. He was after her because she's the only one who could have had the Crystal of Physis. The only one left after Marrow killed her family," she said. "You mean that thing?" he asked, pointing at the crystal in her hand. "God you're thick headed! This is the Crystal of Physis. Only the ruling class of the forest can use its power," she said, handing the crystal over to Chad. "It's a very powerful item, if used wisely the forest will know happiness beyond belief. If it was ever possessed by someone evil, and then kill the family, the forest would plunge into darkness forever," Feather said, as a cold chill ran up her spine. "If this is true, why did you say the only hope Susan has is with me?" he asked. "Once Marrow discovers Shea doesn't have the crystal, he'll torture her to find it. He won't kill her unless he has the crystal. But after a while she'll wish she was dead," she said. "Ok, let's say I believe you. You still haven't answered the question. Why me?" Chad pushed her. "You married her right, you both said I do, for better or worse, and so on?" she asked. "Of course we're married. What's the hell does that got to do with anything?" he asked sternly. "That makes you a member of the ruling family. Human or not, you're part of royalty now. The power of the crystal will flow through you. It will give you an edge against Marrow. Trust me, you'll need it," Feather told him staring into his eyes. "Let's say for argument sake that I believe you, and this is all real. What we would have to do," he said, even though it was so far fetched. "This root will take us to wherever we wish to go in the forest. All we have to do is to think of where we want to go, and we go there. It will only work from the human world to my world or vise versa. It won't take us from somewhere in the forest to somewhere else in the forest." "That's great! We just go to this, Marrow's place, and get her back," Chad said happily. "Chad, it isn't that simple. Just you and I going in will get us all killed, and Marrow will get the Crystal of Physis. If that happens everything is lost. I can't let that happen...even if it means losing Shea," Feather said, pleading with him to listen to reason. "Listen Chad, I love Shea as much as you do. We've been friends for a hundred and fifty years. I don't want to lose her as much as you do," she said sternly. Chad was taken off guard by the last statement. This whole thing was getting out of hand and Chad was going to put a stop to it. "You're saying you've known Susan, or Shea, for a hundred and fifty years? Do you know how impossible that sounds Feather?" he said mockingly. "You still don't get it, do you? Stop believing in what you think you know. Start believing in what I'm telling you. You thick headed human," Feather said the last statement under her breath. "If you don't start listening to what I'm saying, my world, and your wife will be gone," Feather spat back at him. "We don't age like humans. It's a slower process, we stay healthy by living with nature, not against it," she explained. "You need to face the facts Chad. Your wife, my friend, is a hundred and seventy five years old," she told him. Chad was beside himself. He couldn't process all the information that was coming at him. The world he knew was spinning out of control. He couldn't stop it as he fell to his knees. "Chad, you may not believe me. You may think I'm crazy," she told him. "Please give me a chance to prove it to you. Give me a chance to show you what I've been saying is true...please," Feather asked him softly. Chad stood up, looking at Feather. If this is all true, he was going after his wife. No one ever told him that the 'leap of faith' was this big. "We'll play it your way, for now," he told her sternly. Chad's whole attitude changed. It was as if he was someone else for a moment. "How does this root thing work?" he asked. "All you have to do is hold onto my hand, then, we go to the forest," Feather said calmly. "Fine, that's what we'll do. First I need to bring a few things," Chad told her as he moved to the spare room off the hall. Feather placed the box on the bed and ran after Chad. Chad was a gun nut. He had a small collection of nice weapons. He stored them in a secure safe that only he knew the combination to. Feather entered the room, wondering why he would go in there. "What are you doing? We really don't have time to screw around in this world," Feather said spastically. "If you're right, then we need some extra help," Chad replied. "What the hell are you doing?" Feather demanded. "If I have to fight things that are, how did you say it, not of this world," he said, the distain rolling off his tongue. "Then I'm bringing some insurance." Chad told her. Chad grabbed a Springfield rifle with a night scope and a .357 Magnum. He also grabbed his hunting backpack. It might come in handy, if they had to roam around the woods too much. Chad laid the .357 on the bed after slinging the rifle over his shoulder. Opening up the backpack to put the revolver in, Feather spoke up. "Is that safe secure?" Feather asked. "Yes. Why do you ask?" Chad asked without looking at her. "Then put the Crystal of Physis in there. If Marrow comes back looking for it, I know it'll be safe," she said, handing the crystal to Chad. "Chad, your human weapons won't work there," she told him. "You ever try to fire a rifle there...Elf?" Chad asked harshly. "God! How in the hell does Shea put up with you!" Feather screamed and went back to the bedroom. Chad scooped up the gear and went after her. Walking up to the bed, he tossed everything down. While Feather looked on, he continued to pack his rucksack. Chad couldn't take the silence any longer. "Listen up Feather. I don't care what you think of me right now. The only thing I'm worried about is Susan. I don't need you fighting with me about every little thing. So if you don't mind, stop giving me shit and start giving me a hand...Feather!" Chad screamed at her as he continued to pack. Feather got tired with this insanity. So like any good Elf, she held the root in one hand and grabbed Chad's arm. Just before Chad could grab the handgun, there was a bright light surrounding him and he felt himself pulled in every direction. _______ The other transition from the human world to the forest was complete. Marrow arrived at the castle, still clutching Princess Shea. While dragging her down to the dungeon, the other captive could hear the screaming, her heart sank. She realized her worst fears were coming to life. Marrow threw Shea into the cold, damp cell next to the weeping woman. The women jumped when the bars slammed closed. Shea looked over as the other victim turned to face her. Shea's breath caught in her throat. "Mother, is that you?" Shea gasped. She couldn't believe what she saw. Shea's mother was badly bruised. Her mother looked like something out of a death camp. She ran over to Bolara, grabbing her tightly. Bolara groaned at the sudden pain. "I see you found your whore of a mother Princess," Marrow said. "Don't worry little one. Give me a few days and you'll look just like her. You'll be begging me to take the Crystal of Physis. Then, you and your dear mommy won't be needed anymore." Marrow laughed at her. Shea threw herself at the bars, clawing at the evil Ogre. "You bastard, I'll kill you for what you've done," she spat at him. Marrow quickly grabbed her wrist and held her still. "Give me the crystal. I might just kill you quickly...without raping you." he ordered her. "I don't have it with me you bastard. You might kill us but you'll never have it. Without it, you won't be able to have the control you want," she said to Marrow, spitting in his face. "Take a good look at your mother. Soon you'll go through the same thing. I won't be so gentle, like I was with her," Marrow said as he threw her back into the cell. "I'll give you a few hours to decide, if you think you will able to last very long," he told her as he walked away. Shea knew he could kill her slowly, painfully. She also knew the crystal must remain safe forever. Princess Shea turned to hold her mother and see how badly she was hurt. Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 03 _______ Chad looked around, trying to clear his head. "What the hell was that? Where are we?" he said angrily. "We're in my world Chad. I got tired of waiting and just grabbed you," Feather replied. Chad turned towards her, his jaw dropped open. "You're a...Elf...for real?" "Yes, pointy ears and everything. I tried to tell you the truth Chad. Like all men, you were being stubborn. I mean human," she replied annoyingly. "Where's this castle that at?" he said looking around. "We aren't there yet. This is deeper in the forest where my family and I live," Feather said walking to a very large Oak tree. Chad followed her into the large hole lighted with candles, giving it a soft glow. When he stood in the center of the room, he noticed some things were clearly from his world. "Mom, I'm back," Feather yelled out. From the stairway along the wall, a woman came strolling down. As she got closer, he could make out her features. She was a stunning woman with the bluest eyes he'd ever seen. Her strawberry blond hair was hanging down to the small of her back, and braded with tiny flowers along the side. Chad thought he was looking at an Angel. When she passed Chad, he saw her stare at him with confusion. He also noticed that she wore the same perfume as her daughter. "Feather where have you been, I've been so worried," she scolded her as she put her arms around her. "I'm fine Mom, I was with Shea. Mom, you better brace yourself. Shea was taken from the human world...by Marrow," Feather told her. "No it can't be! He can't get any Tulok root!" she cried out. "He did mom. Now we have to get her back. This is Shea's Husband, Chad. He's a Human. Chad this is my mother, Leonia." "Nice to meet you Leonia. I can see where Feather gets her looks from," Chad said. "I thought Shea might have married a human. Did you know about Shea, or are you playing catch up?" she asked. "I still think I'm dreaming," Chad replied, looking around at the inside of he large oak. "Well you're not dreaming, so you better get used to it," Leonia snapped at him. "Mom listen, we came here first so I could round up some help. If we're going up against Marrow, then we're going to need all the help we can get," Feather said, slinging her bow across her back. "I hope you do honey. But I'm afraid you may not find many willing to face off with Marrow," Leonia replied sadly. "I'll be back by morning, in the mean time keep, 'him', out of trouble. Chad, try not to be a normal human and run off in the woods alone. Listen to my mom, for your own safety," Feather said as she headed for the entrance. "Chad why don't you have a seat, I'll get us a couple of drinks. Then you can tell me all about your world, and how you met Princess Shea," Leonia said as she led Chad to a padded wooden bench. Leonia returned carrying two large wooden cups. Handing one to Chad, she sat in a chair across from him, taking a long drink. "So tell me about you and Shea," Leonia asked. Chad told her about meeting Susan on an Island a year ago. He included 'some' of the fun they had together since. "Why in the world would she pick a weird name like Susan?" Leonia asked. 'This doesn't seem weird to you Leonia?' he thought. Chad took some more sips of the drink. It was starting to make him feel a little weird. "I hope this isn't made from that root thing. God knows what will happen then," he mumbled. "I'm sorry Chad, what was that?" Leonia asked. Catching himself, Chad continued. "In my world, Susan is a pretty common name for a woman. Trust me, she definitely is a woman," Chad told her, the last part a little quieter. "Actually I guess she's a Forest Nymph Princess," he added. "Now can I ask you some questions Leonia?" he asked. The Elvin mother nodded her head in approval. "You keep asking about my world. Yet I see some things here that are clearly from there. How is it you have this stuff? Do you go back and forth like Feather does?" "No Chad. I haven't for a very long time. Feather likes to bring things back. It makes it a little easier here. There are a few nice beds upstairs and some other things, pots, pans, things like that. I can tell you this Chad. A mattress is much nicer than tree leaves." "The other thing is Rum, I'm I big Rum lover," she added. "I mix that with a special berry juice and presto, instant cocktail." "I must say Leonia, you make a mean drink. I was starting to think that you might have mixed it with that root thing. It's pretty potent when you light it," Chad told her finishing off the drink. Leonia giggle at the thought. She has been on the receiving end when Tulok root was burned. Leonia stood up to take his cup and refill it. She leaned over towards him. As she did, Chad got a quick glimpse of the top of her swelling breasts. She noticed him staring and smiled. "Don't feel embarrassed Chad, when humans come to the forest, they tend to have a little more libido," she said. Leonia took his cup, noticing Chad turning three shades of red. It had been some time since a man noticed her ample charms. The thought of it made her nipples tingle. Smiling down at him, she turned to get them another drink. When she came back, she purposely bet down to give Chad another quick glance. Chad decided to change the subject before he got himself in trouble. "So where's your husband at?" Chad asked nervously. Leonia stared down at her cup, as if remembering something unpleasant. "About four years ago we were out in the Forest, just taking a walk, when Marrow came at us from behind a large tree. He went straight after my husband and hit him hard. He hit the ground, and I could tell he was pretty bad off..." "It ok Leonia, you don't need to go any further," he told her. "It doesn't hurt as much any more. In a strange way, it sort of helps," Leonia told him as she straightened up in her chair. "Anyway, since my husband was severely injured he came after Feather and I. He began to rip at our clothes as we tried to fight him off. I do believe he would have raped us until we were dead, if it wasn't for my husband," Leonia said as she saw her husbands face. He was able to come up behind him and shove his knife into his back. He told us to run away as fast as we could. So we ran deeper into the forest. I turned back and saw him snap my husband back." Leonia told him with a blank stare on her face. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry Leonia," Chad said, touching her hand. "It's ok Chad. Now you can see why Feather has a strong interest in getting Shea back. We also have to keep the Crystal of Physis out of his hands." "So you know about the Crystal of Physis then?" Chad asked as he leaned forward. "I guess you really are playing catch up. A very long time ago, Goddess Artemis guarded the forest. She was one of the 12 Olympians and extremely powerful. As the tale goes, she and Zeus had an argument. He wounded her badly, but before she died, she returned to the forest. The one thing that gave her power was the Crystal of Physis." Chad was listening intently. "She wanted to keep the forest safe, so Artemis gave the crystal to the kindest woman she knew. Her name was Lesnoia, who guarded the forest for a very long time. Before she died, she handed it down to her only daughter, Bolara," Leonia said, finishing the tale. Chad leaned back and stared at her, having a hard time processing all this. "Are you telling me that crystal, the Crystal of Physis, belonged to a God?" he asked in astonishment. "A Goddess to be precise. It is passed from one generation to the next. Since you're new here, and I assume Shea didn't tell you..." Leonia leaned forward and looked deep into Chad's eyes. "Marrow killed Shea's mother, her name was...Bolara." "Oh my God, you've got to be kidding me! My wife really is that old?" Chad yelled out in amazement. "Not really Chad. As far as the forest goes, she's quite young. So now, you see why the crystal must remain safe. If the ruling family dies and Marrow gets it, everything that Artemis wanted the forest to become will end." Leonia said. Chad still had a hard time grasping the information. The two of them talked for most of the day about the Forest, and all the dangers that now exist. As the sun sank down lower over the trees, Leonia got up to make some dinner for them. "So do humans still have an appetite for good food?" Chad just smiled, thankful that she didn't lean over towards him again. After a short while she returned. She had two plates of fruits and veggies, along with two more powerful drinks. 'Man this lady can hold her own when it comes to drinking,' Chad thought to himself. By the time they finished eating, the drinks and the presence of such a beautiful woman were taking its toll on Chad. The front of Chad's pants stretched tightly over his cock, causing a small tent to form. Leonia noticed this and smiled brightly at him. "Well it looks like you enjoy the food here, or is that tent from the rum?" she asked, laughing at him. "Sorry about that. I guess this place is getting to me," he said. 'My wife's taken hostage, and then I'm ripped into the forest by an elf. Now I'm sitting here in front of Feather's mom with a ragging hard on - what next,' Chad thought. "Calm down Chad. One thing you should understand about the Forest. We are all very sexual creatures here. One attribute that we all share is sex, and a lot of it," she said. "If it makes you feel better, all humans get the same, 'problem' so to speak," Leonia said laughing at him "Oh that's a relief. I thought it was the perfume you got from Feather," he said off handedly. "That's strange you say that Chad. I'm not wearing any perfume." Leonia stared at him for a moment, and then realized his problem. "Let me ask you Chad, do you ever notice a certain aroma, anytime your wife is near?" "Yes. I always smell Lilacs," he told her. "That's because she's a Forest Nymph. Feather has a scent also, I'm sure you noticed it when you first met her. From what she's told me, it drives most human crazy," she said with a laugh. 'That's putting it mildly,' he thought. Leonia was staring at his crotch, her blue eyes shinning brightly. She stood up and lit some more candles. The flames quickly cast a soft glow around the room. "Chad, do you mind if I ask you another question?" she asked with her back still to Chad. "No not at all Leonia. What is it?" Chad replied taking a sip of his drink. Leonia turned towards him as looked him in the eye. "How's my daughter in bed?" Chad spit his drink out and started coughing. When he caught his breath, he looked back up to her. "I'm sorry. What was that again?" he asked. "I asked you how my daughter was in bed. I'm sure she's had her turn with you," Leonia said as she slowly approached him. Chad sat there not knowing what to do. Here was this beautiful woman...Elf, asking about her daughter. "Oh come on now, I have a feeling Feather and Shea had a little fun with you." she said as she sat back down in her chair. "Now Chad, don't look so shocked. I've known for some time that those two like to have a little, amusement, shall we say. I was just wondering what you thought of her," Leonia said as she ran her fingertips around the outline of her breasts. The mention of his wife's name brought him out of his state of shock. "Leonia, let me just say that you're an extremely beautiful women. If I wasn't here to get my wife back, I'm sure this would be turning out differently," Chad said trying to backtrack his way out of this. "Chad I've been without a man in my life for sometime. I've had to take matters into my own hands. You're a human, and here in the forest, that hard cock is not going away by itself. I was hoping since you and Feather won't be leaving till morning, you might be willing to help me with my problem," Leonia said as she started to untie the front of her gown. "I don't think that would be proper for me. Given the current situation," Chad said, trying to talk sense into this lovely elf. "There are two things you should know Chad. First, I know you had sex with Feather and Shea. Maybe you did them both at the same time," she said as she pulled the gown down off her shoulders. Her breasts came into view, and Chad's breath caught in his throat. They were larger than Feathers. Her nipples were like pencil erasers. Leonia brought her hand up to her nipple and started pulling it away from her breast. Chad looked up from her fingers and stared into her eyes. "You said two things. What's the second?" Chad replied, his voice cracking from the strain. "The second thing is - I don't want you to be proper. I want you to fuck my brains out with that hard cock of yours," she replied with a whisper. Leonia let her gown slip down the rest of her body, letting it pile around her feet. Chad could only stare at her. His voice, along with his mind, were now gone. As she slowly approached him, his cock hardened even more in his pants, as if it could get any harder. "Now I want you to just sit back and let me have a little fun," she said as she knelt between his spread legs. Chad blinked his eyes, thinking this had to be a dream. Leonia slowly undid Chad's pants, all the while looking into his eyes. Her beauty was so captivating. He could only hope that his heart didn't stop. As she finally removed his pants, Leonia got her first look at Chad's thick cock. "You have a very beautiful cock Chad," she softly said while stroking him slowly. "Would you mind if I just, suck your cock for a while? It's been such a long time, since I've had something this big in my...fucking throat," Leonia said like an eager whore. Chad couldn't speak. He just nodded his head slowly. Leonia slowly slid her tongue up the length of his cock. When she reached the top, Leonia ran the bottom side of her tongue over his large leaking head. She repeated this process until she was sure his cock was slick with her spit. Leonia placed her mouth just above his cock and whispered, "thank you so much." She placed at least four inches into her mouth quickly and held her head there, running her tongue over the velvety surface. "Oh fuck...shit!" Chad screamed as he felt her mouth engulf him. Leonia's mouth felt like a silk glove wrapped over his cock. His whole body seemed to twitch, as Feather's mom raped him with her mouth. Slowly she brought her back up, but kept the head nestled between her lips. Taking a breath through her nose, she slowly slid her lips down the now very wet cock. Inch by inch she took more of the pulsing meat into her mouth. Chad couldn't hold still any longer, and placed his hands on the back of her head. When she swallowed six inches of cock, she felt the pressure on the entrance to her throat. Grabbing Chad's ass, she pulled his hips up, forcing the meat to slip deeper into her mouth. Chad sensed what she wanted. He forced her head down until all ten inches of his cock, slipped into her throat. When her lips pressed against the base, she snaked her tongue out and began licking his cum filled ball. Chad felt the increased pressure on his cock, his eyes rolled back in his head. He released his hold when he felt her head coming back up. Leonia let the cock slip out of her mouth, and took in a few deep breaths. "Oh fuck that felt good! You have no idea how much I've missed doing that," she said after catching her breath. "Leonia, I think I have a pretty good idea," Chad replied as he ran his thumb over her lips. Leonia sucked his thumb as she moved her hand up and down the length of his wet cock. Slipping his thumb out of her mouth, she moved her head back down to his cock. "More. I want to suck you all night long," she said as she swallowed his cock once again. She moved her mouth up and down his cock. It seemed she was jacking him off with her lips. Every time Leonia went down, she took the entire length down her throat. Chad was getting the blowjob of a lifetime. If she kept this up, he would do one of two things. Cum - or pass out. Grabbing her head in his hands, he pulled her sucking mouth off his cock. "Nooo please let me suck you," she complained. "Leonia if you keep that up, the rest of the night will be a wash out," he told her. Chad pulled her closer, placed his lips on hers, and slipped his tongue between them. Leonia kissed him back hard, pulling him into her body. "Let's not waste time going upstairs, I want to fuck you right here, right now!" Leonia told him as she jacked his cock with quick strokes. Chad pulled her up, placing her pussy just above his twitching cock. "I haven't had something this big in a long time. I'm sure it's gonna hurt a little bit," Leonia said, holding his cock upright. "Just take your time and go at your own pace," he replied as he sucked a pointed nipple into his mouth. Leonia only had a few inches inside her when she looked down at Chad sucking her one nipple and pulling the other. "Chad I'm sorry. I can't wait any longer," she cried, as she shoved herself down in one quick move. Leonia screamed loudly as her wet pussy stretched in the matter of a few seconds. The sudden pain that went through her body was so intense, she didn't know if she was screaming from pain, or pleasure. The sudden pressure on Chad's cock was intense. He screamed with her while her breast was in his mouth. Not from the pressure, but the tip of his cock ram up against her cervix. "Oh my fucking... I can't believe I took all of it," she cried as she forced more of her tit flesh deeper into his sucking mouth. Chad let her breast slip out and grabbed her hips. Lifting her up, then slamming her back down onto his soaked cock. Leonia just whimpered, as Chad lifted her up and down repeatedly, making sure she bottomed out each time. "Fucking shit! That's it Chad, use me...please! Use my cunt to jack your cock off," Leonia screamed out. Chad thought about something when she said that. He remembered when he was with Feather and Susan. Feather wanted to be used roughly. Maybe Leonia was the same way. When she bottomed out Chad held her there. He began rocking her hips back and forth, forcing her clit to grind against his pelvis. "Do you like that Leonia? Are you feeling better now that you have a hard pounding cock in your - cunt?" he asked. Leonia was openly crying, as the pain turned to pleasure. She was talking to him, trying to answer the questions. Chad couldn't make it out. Her words were flowing out to quickly to make any sense. Chad knew that the only way for her to calm down, was to have a powerful orgasm. He looked up at Leonia's face to see if she was ok. He saw that she overcome with passion. Drool ran down her chin, piling up on the top of her breasts. Chad grabbed her shapely ass checks with one hand. He pulled her forward, and shoved his hips up. This quick movement caused the tip of his cock to separate the entrance to her cervix. With his free hand, he pressed his thumb down on her throbbing clit. Leonia's head snapped back and her mouth fell open to scream. No sound was coming out. Chad's first thought was that she stopped breathing, so he decided to let her get off. He placed one of her nipples between his teeth and bit down lightly. The elderly Elf came hard. Leonia's cum shot out of her like a fire hose. Chad heard of women that squirt, but had never seen it, except on the internet. She just kept cumming, and cumming. Chad knew he couldn't hold out any longer. With his cock lodged into her cervix, he began to shoot one of the biggest loads of his life. Chad screamed out with her, even though she still made no noise. Just as quickly as her climax had overtaken her it stopped. She slump against his now sweaty body. Leonia had passed out. Thankfully she was still breathing. He had a few women in his day. Chad never thought a woman, Elf really, could cum that much. He knew she was done for the night, so he slowly picked her up in his arms. Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 03 Even though his legs were very weak, he carried her limp body upstairs. Thank God she didn't weigh that much. Chad lay down next to her in bed, and thought to himself. 'If this keeps up, I'll never get to the castle.' Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 04 This part starts with Chad's first full day in the forest. For you lovers of the nonhuman world please understand this is my first attempt at a story with these types of characters. I think it would be wise to add a disclaimer too. Towards the end you will get to a part with Marrow and his captives. It gets graphic, but it's necessary. If the story captivates you, then you will hate Marrow as much as I did when I wrote him. Please, please, please don't forget to vote. Leave me comments too, no comments make me think you hated it or something was wrong with it. Enjoy the journey. * Chad woke up with a feeling that something was going on with his cock. He always woke up with a piss hard on. His wife Susan loved it like that, hard and ready. He pulled the covers back and saw Leonia. Her head was bobbing up and down slowly, savoring the taste of his cock. "Good morning Leonia. It looks like you're up first," he said to her, trying not to moan aloud. "Actually I got up and you were hard. That means you got up first, but you won't hear me complain," she replied then resumed sucking his cock. Chad laid his head back and tried to concentrate. He didn't want to shoot off too quickly. Every time she took his cock into her throat, he lost a little more control. 'God this woman is better at head than anyone he'd ever been with, including Susan,' he thought. He never could last long in the morning. This one was no different. Chad grabbed the back of Leonia's head and pushed down. At the same time, he thrust his hips up. He felt her gag as his cock went deeper in her throat. He released the pressure, and Leonia moaned her disapproval. Chad knew what she wanted, the same thing she needed last night. With all the power he could muster, he shoved Leonia's head down quickly and pushed his cock deeper with his hips. Chad fucked her face as long as he could. Leonia's throat was too tight. Rope after rope hot morning cum went straight into Leonia's throat. The rough treatment set the elder elf off. Leonia screamed around his cock, as her orgasm ripped through her body. She stiffened like a board. Chad thought she couldn't breathe so he pulled out of her mouth. Leonia gasped for air as soon as his cock slipped out, his last shot hitting her chin. She felt the thick cum splatter her face, as she doubled over, and grabbed her convulsing pussy. The hungry elf screamed as she came for the second time this morning. When their breathing returned to normal Leonia whispered to Chad. "I wish you could do that every morning," she said. "Which one are you referring too, Leonia? Me cumming in your throat, or shooting it on your face?" he asked. Leonia looked him in the eye, "both." "I hope you saved some strength for the trip," a female voice said. They both turned suddenly and saw Leonia's daughter, Feather, standing in the doorway. Feather strolled up to the side of the bed, looking at her naked mother. "You missed some," she told Leonia, pointing to her dripping chin. Chad was in shock, as he saw Leonia scoop up the sticky cum. She slipped the finger into her mouth, still holding her daughters gaze. Feather just laughed. "There's a couple of friends outside I want you to meet...after you get dressed." Chad and Leonia got dressed and went outside to find Feather. Once Chad's eyes focused to the light, his jaw fell open. On either side of Feather stood the strangest looking creatures he'd ever seen, or even heard of for that matter. "Chad, these two will be going with us to get Shea back. This is Malifin he's a Wokulo. He'll be extremely useful if we have to fight to get in the castle." Feather told him. What Chad saw was a three-foot high dwarf, with a head far too large for his body. He had thick, course hair that was matted and tangled. Chad thought he resembled a shaggy dog that was standing up. Chad nodded to him because he didn't know what to say. The little dwarf just looked Chad up and down and shook his head. Feather turned to her other side and pointed at the next creature. "This large fellow is Larry, he's a Tengu." Larry was every bit of seven feet, with a slender but very muscular build. The only thing that stood out was his large red beak. Not to mention the white bird wings on his back. Chad thought it was someone's offspring...from an orgy gone horribly wrong. Chad looked puzzled, and looked at the Tengu. "How'd you get a name like Larry?" he asked. "My mother is human. Do you have a problem with that?" he answered sternly. "No. No problem here big man. Larry sounds like a fantastic name," Chad said politely, trying not to die so soon into the journey. Feather gathered some food for the trip, while Chad looked on. He didn't really know what else to do. Malifin kept staring at Chad, and this made him feel very uncomfortable. "Chad I want you to do me two favors," Leonia said, coming up behind him. "Whatever you want Leonia," Chad said, taking her hand. "First. You and Princess Shea come back in one piece," she said. "I'll try my best. What's the second favor?" he asked. "That you bring my daughter back to me," Leonia said, as a small tear rolling down her cheek. Chad found his backpack and turned to Feather. "This would be simpler if I could use a gun." Chad said, annoyed at the fact than firearms didn't work here. "In that case you'll need these. They belonged to my father, I think he'd want you to have them," she replied handing him a large bag. Chad pulled out a crossbow, and a quiver full of arrows. Next, he pulled a long gold sword around three feet long out of the bag. The sword was well balanced, and appeared to be razor sharp. Chad looked back at Feather and a lump appeared in his throat. He felt honored to have the trust of these two women on his side. Chad still didn't know if Malifin, or Larry the birdman, would be on his side. Nevertheless, it seemed they trusted Feather. They finished getting supplies and loaded everything up in packs. He turned back to Leonia and took her hand. "Don't worry we'll be back soon...all of us" he said. "Take this Chad, you never know when you'll need it," Leonia said, as she handed him a small cloth wrapped object. "If you two are done, we need to get going," Feather shouted. "How long to get there Feather?" he asked her as she started to leave. "About two days. Longer if you don't move your ass," she replied. Looking back to Leonia, "In that case, we'll see you in four days." The group of four left the large Oak tree. Malifin lead the way followed by Larry. Feather and Chad walked side by side a few yards behind them. Chad was scanning the forest for signs of danger, while Feather kept her eyes on Malifin. "Chad you can relax a little. This is not the bad part of the forest. That part will come sometime tomorrow," she said. Since he believed in Feather's good judgment, he slung the crossbow on his shoulder. He studied his other two companions who led the way. "So tell me Feather, what's the deal with your two friends up there?" he asked. "Well Malifin is a Wokulo," she replied. "You told me that already. Why did you get a...whatchamacallit, to help us?" Chad asked. "A Wokulo Chad. They're from a different part of the forest. That's about as tall as they get. Most of the forest creatures can't see them, but the Elves can. He has a great alertness for danger, and can take down most things double his size. He can also see through walls, and sometimes trees. Don't you think that will come in handy?" Feather told him. "If he's from another part of the forest, what the hell is he doing here?" Chad asked. "Marrow destroyed his village. His family escaped but Marrow kept him prisoner here as punishment. He really wants to get back to his family. He agreed to help us if I take him back," she told him. "How is it that Larry and I can see him?" he asked. "Well it's his choice really. If he doesn't want someone to see him, then they won't. That little trick is going to be helpful when we get to the castle," Feather added. Chad looked towards Larry, wondering if he should even ask. "What's the background on bird man there?" "The Tengu are famous for their fighting skills. Masters of the martial arts and to my knowledge they have never lost a fight. The creatures that we're going to come across might not attack if they see him," she said. "I do have a bit of advice for you though. If you call him birdman one more time, he might beat you silly. We already have to save Shea. I don't want to have to save you too," she warned him. Chad thought about his new friends. He began to feel a little better about their chances of getting out of this. The only hang up would be the creatures they were sure to encounter. If they had these kinds of things in the forest, what else is out there? Chad could only hope they would get there and Susan, or actually Shea, would be ok. He continued with his thoughts and they walked deeper into the forest. After a few hours of silence except for the occasional chirping of the birds, Feather spoke up. "I was wondering if you would answer something for me," she said. "I will if I can. What is it?" Chad said as he kept his eyes on Larry. "How much did Mother tell you about humans, and the forest," Feather asked nervously. "She said that humans get brought here from time to time. I assume with the same trick you pulled on me. I guess the elves' enjoy a little variety from time to time," Chad chuckled. "She also said that we get a larger...um...libido while in the forest. I guess that helps. Since it seems everyone around here is horny all the time," he added. "Not just Elves'. Remember, your wife is a Forest Nymph," Feather reminded him. "I still can't believe after all this time, she never told me the truth," Chad said as he shook his head. "Remember how freaked out you were when you realized it wasn't a dream," Feather said. "Ok, you got your point across," he relented. "There is something else I'd like to know," Feather said shyly. "Not a problem. You need my shoe size?" he said jokingly. 'How's my mom in bed?" Feather asked looking at him. Chad just laughed at her. One thought went through him mind. 'That rubber room was looking better and better all the time.' "What's so funny about that?" Feather asked, not getting the joke. Chad looked at her and smiled. "It must be an elf thing. Leonia asked the very same thing about you," he said. Chad wanted to change the subject before he got in trouble. "Where do we stop for the night? We can't go wondering around the forest in the dark," he asked. "There's a lake up ahead that's pretty safe. After that, we get into the bad part of the forest. You might see some amazing things there Chad. I think you'd better prepare yourself. Like you humans like to say so much, 'you're not in Kansas anymore Toto'," Feather told Chad, giggling to herself. They continued through the forest. Much of the day spent bringing Chad up to speed on what he might see. The creatures they would encounter. To Chad, it seemed like a cross between Lord of the Rings, and Eighth Grade Mythology. He chuckled to himself. The only thing missing was the Mad Hatter. The small group had a few hours of sunlight left, when entered a large clearing. Chad looked upon the sight with awe. He had never envisioned such a beautiful and peaceful place, within such chaos. The team stopped by the side of the lake. They took in the sight around them. The water was so clear. Chad could see the large boulders at the bottom...forty feet down. To the North side there was a smaller pond, he guessed about thirty feet in diameter. The middle of the larger lake had a group of rocks that piled up out of the water. What got his attention about the rock formation, were the six lovely women that were sitting on them. "Feather, I must be going nuts. Are those...?" Chad said. "You're catching on pretty fast, Mermaids," Feather told him as she laughed. "From what I remember, Mermaids are supposed to be deadly," he said. "Only to Humans. They lure men in, and then put their souls in cages beneath the water. I wouldn't talk to them if you want to stay alive," Feather added. Something caught his eye beneath the water and he could see one of them approach the shoreline. Chad started to back up. The mermaid came out of the water a little, and he could see her tail kicking back and forth. Chad could feel the attraction, as soon as she looked at him. "So tell me handsome, what's your name?" Her voice was like listening to soft music. Feather moved in front of Chad and faced the women. "Leave him alone mermaid. This one is off limits," Feather told her sternly. "Oh come on now elf. It's been a while since we've had a human here," the mermaid said softly. "This one is different. This is Princess Shea's husband," she said. Suddenly the mermaid climbed out of the water. In an instant, her tail was gone, replaced with human legs. Chad could only stare at her. She was so beautiful and alluring. He could see why men would go to her...willingly. The mermaid went before Feather and Chad and dropped to one knee, lowering her head. "Forgive me your majesty. I had no idea," she said almost in a begging manner. Chad was still in amazement until Feather brought him back to reality. "Chad, close your mouth, you look stupid," Feather told him. "Sorry. Please stand up miss. It's not what you think." The women stood before them and approached Feather. "I'm Xena. If there is anything I can do for you, please ask. You may have use of the lake without fear from the others," she said. "I'm Feather. This is Chad. We need a safe spot to stop for the night," she told her. "We did not know where the princess had fled to. Has she returned to help us against Marrow?" Xena asked. "Not exactly, she was taken by Marrow. The four of us are going to get her back," Feather said. Xena turned to look at Malifin and Larry. She thought Malifin looked like an unkempt pet. He could use a swim in the lake...badly. Larry on the other hand was a different story. "I don't think I've ever seen a Tengu before. You're very handsome," Xena said, her eyes shinning brightly. "Your sing song voice and charms don't work on me mermaid," Larry told her sternly. Xena moved in front of Larry, and stroked his arm. "I didn't think it would. That won't stop me from the other naughty thoughts I have," she said softly. Chad was amazed at the way these creatures threw sex around like Frisbees. "I think we need to refill the water. I wouldn't mind getting something to eat too," Feather said to everyone. "I wouldn't mind getting something to eat either," Xena said as she ran her hand down to Larry's crotch. "You two go set up a camp for the night, and I'll get the water," Malifin said. It was the first time Malifin had spoken since leaving the large oak tree. Chad noticed that it had a hint of disdain, possibly towards him. "I doubt we'll get any help from him," Malifin told them as he pointed to Larry. Larry looked at Malifin, "I said her charms don't work on me Wokulo, that doesn't mean I would turn down a chance to see what she can do," Larry told the gruff Dwarf. Chad and Feather shook their heads, and turned towards the forests edge. Chad had his backpack and brought more supplies than he probably needed. Shelter was not a problem. Keeping Larry and Malifin from starting a fight might be. He sensed that maybe these two species shouldn't be near each other very long. Chad turned his head towards the lake where he saw Larry pulling Xena off to the side away from the water. Larry moved them off to a patch of taller grass. He wanted as much cushion as he could get. "So what's your pleasure big boy?" Xena asked as she removed her top, freeing her large breasts. "I have a lot of personal kinks. Mostly I enjoy a woman that's flexible," Larry said. "Have you ever had a mermaid before?" she said as she pulled her small thong down her shapely human legs. "No, I never have. However, I've heard many stories. I hope they're all true," Larry replied. The Tengu removed the cloth wrap surrounding his waist, releasing his cock from its confining space. Xena gasped as it appeared before her. "Holy shit! I think that things bigger than any centaur." Xena exclaimed. "I tried to tell you, I enjoy flexible women. As it turns out, it's kind of necessary," Larry said as he lifted his cock up. "Get ready you big fucking stud. I'm about to show you a new meaning for the word, flexible," she whispered as she dropped to her knees. Larry was used to women not being able to take much of his cock, in any hole. He thought that even though mermaids have a reputation of sexuality, this was going to be business as usual. Xena held the large cock up to her face. She was not a very big woman. It was no surprise she couldn't fit her hands around it. "This thing must be a foot and a half long and as thick as my forearm." She whispered as she licked her lips. Most of the time, women only got the large head in their mouths. It was a welcome surprise when eight inches disappeared into her throat. Xena's mouth was like any other Mermaid. They could dislocate their jaw, giving them the ability to swallow larger fish almost whole. Xena pulled her mouth off his cock. "You have a fabulous cock Larry. I could suck this forever," she said as she held his cock against her face. "You know, there is something you can do. It'll make it more enjoyable for me, while I suck you," she said, pumping his cock with both hands. Running his hands through her hair, he looked down at her. "What would that be you sexy mermaid?" Larry asked. "It's a little embarrassing. Would it be too much to ask if you call me a few names, maybe pull my hair? I love it when my partner sort of 'uses me' as a piece of meat," she whimpered. "In that case, I'd be happy to rape your face - whore," Larry growled at her. With two handfuls of hair, Larry forced his cock into her mouth rapidly. Xena was not fighting it, as he basically, jacked his cock off with her head. Even though she was half-female, her throat could open enough to swallow almost twelve inches of his cock. The sight before Larry was amazing. Her throat would bulge out as his cock sunk deeper. Larry knew he was leaking pre-cum, it was leaking down her chin. Reluctantly, he pulled Xena's mouth clear of his cock. "You sure can take a lot of cock in that mouth of yours," he told her. "One of the small perks of being a Mermaid," Xena smiled, as she rubbed the pre-cum into her skin. Larry wasn't done with this fish, so he pulled her up by her hair. This caused Xena to moan aloud. "That's it you bastard, do what you want," she said with excitement in her voice. Larry pushed her roughly down on her back. Xena smiled as he kneeled down and grabbed her legs, forcing them apart. "I sure hope this doesn't hurt much," Larry told her. "You don't seem to understand Larry, I hope it does," she told him as she pulled her nipples hard. In one swift motion, Larry sunk the length of his cock into her body. Xena's eyes rolled back in her head. She screamed so loud the other mermaids dove into the water. Chad and Feather also heard the scream and turned towards the couple. "Don't worry Chad, mermaids can take a lot," Feather told him as she grabbed his arm. "It sounds like he's killing her," Chad said. "It does sort of feel like that. I know, I'm still a little sore," she said rubbing her pussy mound. "So, you had some fun last night yourself," Chad laughed at her. "Hey! You're not the only one who needed a little relaxing! Are you ever going to tell me about my mom?" she asked. "Let's just say you two are a lot alike in some ways," he told her as he slapped her ass. Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 04 It didn't take long for the other mermaids to change, and move to the side of Xena. They all knew how Xena liked her fucking. At the same time, they didn't want the Tengu to harm their friend. "Its ok girls, he won't hurt me...much. Would a few of you like to join in the fun? How about it stud, think you can handle three of us?" she asked Larry. "The question is - can you three handle me, at the same time?" Larry laughed at them. The others returned to the lake, while the two remaining women removed their clothes. Larry was now slamming his cock harder into Xena tight pussy. The force was so great that it caused her tits to bang upwards. If her tits were any bigger, they would have slapped her face. One of the mermaids went to Larry's side, and started sucking his nipples. The other one started slapping Xena's tits as they bounced back and forth. "That's it you bitch! Slap my fucking tits!" Xena screamed at her friend. Larry grabbed the head of the one attacking his nipple, forcing her head down. "If you want something to suck on, how about your friend's cunt!" he yelled at her. She quickly went after her friend's sex like a starving child. "Well wench, you have two women working on you, while I plow your fuck hole. What does that make you?" Larry growled. "It makes me a whore! It makes me a piece of fuck meat!" she yelled. Larry had an idea on how to get this half-human slut off. He grabbed one of her legs and flipped her over, and began fucking her doggie style. The other two mermaids took this as an invitation to use her too. One of them lay down and offered her own wet pussy for Xena to eat. The other dipped her head under Larry's swinging balls, continuing her assault on Xena's pussy. This also gave her easy access to Larry's balls. She held one of them in her hand, massaging it softly. Larry was going to pull her hair and make her scream, but the one laying on the ground was doing a fine job of holding her head down. Larry pulled half his cock out of Xena, allowing the little minx below him to jack his exposed meat. Xena couldn't stand any more of the torment and exploded. The orgasm shot through her body causing her to scream again, only this time her friend's pussy muffled it. The vibration of the scream caused her friend to cum, which Xena swallowed quickly. 'Let's see just how much she can take,' Larry thought, as he pulled his cock out of Xena's cunt. In an instant, it went from her cunt to her friend's mouth. Larry left just the head in her mouth, motioning to the other two to help their companion. "You two get down there and help get me off in your friend's mouth." Xena started jacking his cock with both hands. The other went behind him and started to lick his heavy balls. "Fuck Xena, you're a real slut," Larry told her. She jacked his cock faster and looked at him. "No. I'm a good little fuck whore," she replied and began sucking his nipple. Three mouths and a pair of hands stroking his cock took their toll. "Get ready girls. I'm going to shoot," Larry yelled. As if practiced, the three put their faces together so they could catch his cum. Larry felt his nuts tighten up and he shot hot cum on the faces below him. Tengu were famous for large loads. He didn't disappoint the three sluts below him. Shot after shot landed on their pretty faces, and open mouths. Even though Xena was sore, she rubbed her clit as Larry's cum ran down her face, landing on her fat tits. Larry opened his eyes and looked down. The three mermaids where caked with so much cum, he couldn't make out their facial features. He didn't have to wait long to see their skin. They started to suck cum off each other's faces. "Wow Xena that's some of the best sex I've had in a long time. We should get together again soon," Larry told her. He then turned, and left the three of them to finish cleaning themselves. Since there was a lot of cum, they should be at it for a while. Chad and Feather finished setting up the camp for the night. "Is it ok to get a fire going?" he asked. "Go ahead, just for tonight though. When we go farther in the forest, it'll be too dangerous," she told him. "As long as we stay near the lake we'll be safe. None of the creatures that live farther out will come here, not even Marrow." "What's so safe about this place?" he wondered aloud. "This area is protected by Centaurs and no one would ever want to piss off a mermaid. But if Marrow ever got his hands on the Crystal of Physis, all that will change," Feather told Chad, as she helped Malifin settle in. It was starting to get darker and Chad surveyed the area. After what Feather had told him and the guarantee from the mermaids, he felt safe. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye he saw movement from behind a tree. Feather saw Chad's movement, and went to his side. "What's the matter Chad?" she asked. "I thought I saw something move over by those trees." Their fears subsided when a strange looking creature came out of hiding. The creature approached them slowly and Feather started laughing. Chad could only stare, as the half-goat half-human approached them. "You've got to be kidding me!" he said a loud. "Is that what I think it is?" Chad asked her. "Let me guess. You've never seen a satyr before," Feather said mockingly. "Sure I have, you little shit. Just the other day I played poker with a satyr, and couple of trolls," Chad replied in a sarcastic tone. The satyr stood before them, and studied each in turn. "Is it true that you are Princess Shea's human husband?" he asked. "Yes, that's me. You can call me Chad," he replied to the creature. The Satyr suddenly took a step backwards and bowed. "I'm sorry Majesty. I heard that you were here and I needed to make sure. I am called Nugen, I am at your disposal," the man goat said. "I was just going to get some more firewood. I could use your help," he told him, trying to make him feel at ease. The two of them retreated into the woods, leaving Feather and Malifin alone. "You better keep your part of the bargain Elf," Malifin growled at her. "I gave you my word Malifin. You help get us in the castle, and I'll get you back home to your family," Feather replied. "What happens if you get killed by Marrow?" he asked. "Then return to my mother and she will uphold my vow," she said, hoping that between now and then, she could figure out how not to die. "So where is Princess Shea?" Nugen asked. "Marrow has her in the castle. We leave in the morning to get her back," Chad said. "Is it just the four of you your majesty?" he asked with concern in his voice. "My Elvin friend could only find two willing to get near the place. I haven't seen him, but they say Marrow is a pretty bad dude," Chad told him. "Your majesty, it would be my honor to go with you. If needed to, die, so she may live," Nugen said as bravely as he could. "Your help is greatly welcomed," Chad said. "There is one condition that you must agree to if you go with us." Nugen was listening intently as he went on. "From here on out, and as long as it lasts, will you please stop calling me 'your majesty'," Chad told him as Prince like as he could. "Please forgive me. I was only trying to be proper...Chad," the satyr said meekly. The two of them returned to the camp with the firewood. Malifin just glared at Chad, he knew the Wokulo didn't like him much. "I got more help for us Feather," Chad said, pointing at Nugen. "That's great Chad, we have a small army now," Feather said jokingly. "If it's as bad as you say, we're going to need all the help we can get," he replied. "I think I'm going to get cleaned up a little," Chad said, changing the subject. "I'll go with you. It's getting a bit crowded here," Feather said, staring at Malifin. The two of them started towards the lake. With the bright moon, he could see more of the creatures had come out. Four or five Centaurs were huddled together, talking. Satyrs had come out but stayed in groups. There was one thing that they all had one thing in common. They all stared at Chad. "Why do they all keep staring at me?" he asked. "Christ Chad, haven't you got it yet? You're royalty for crying out loud," she told him sternly. "How would you take it, knowing that in one day your whole way of thinking has changed?" he asked in a not so nice way. "Listen Feather, I don't mean to be rude. It's just that...this is a lot to process," Chad said. "I know your majesty. I did not mean to upset you," Feather said as she bowed. "I have half a mind to spank you Feather." Feather stood up and smiled at him. "That sounds like fun!" she replied as she stroked the side of her breast. Chad walked ahead of her and started to the smaller pond. "Where are you going Chad?" Feather said quickly. "I need to get cleaned up," he said. "Not in there you're not Chad," she told him as she grabbed his arm. "That is one of the secrets of this forest," Feather said. "The small pond is pure magic, and is controlled by the Mermaids. It has healing powers unknown to any of us. If you are injured or sick the Mermaids will place you in the water, and it heals you," Chad looked dumbfounded. "You mean it will bring you back to life?" he asked. "They can't bring you back from the dead. What they will do is restore you back to a normal healthy state," Feather said. "So that's how Susan reached the rip old age of a hundred and seventy five," Chad said. "That's one of the ways, yes. Like I told you before, we don't age here like the human world," Feather told him. "What will happen if I get in, but I'm perfectly healthy?" he asked. "The mermaids wouldn't take kindly to that. It won't end well for you. Even if you are married to Shea," she warned him. "This place is amazing, the only thing you're missing is some Pegasus'," he said off handedly. "If you must know smart ass, we haven't seen them for some time. Ever since Marrow came around they scattered like the wind, no pun intended," Feather said. They reached the edge of the larger lake, while the other creatures kept their distance. Chad took his clothes off, and climbed into the water. Feeling clean again would be a refreshing change. Feather started to remove her clothes, when she looked down at Chad. "Now, if I get in there are you going to behave yourself?" she said mockingly. "That's a question you should ask while looking in a mirror." Feather slid into the water, and swam up to Chad. She knew what she'd find but she still let her hand drift down his body. She was correct, as her fingers wrapped around his hard cock. "You know, the forest has a strange effect on Humans," she said softly. "That's what they keep telling me," he replied. He pulled her hand away, then, went under the water. Chad surfaced about four feet away, and laughed at her. "Sorry about that. What was it that you were saying again?" "I was saying how stubborn humans are," she spat a him. Chad swam to a shallower part and stood up. Feather followed him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm starting to get the idea your turning me down," she told him. "Sorry. I'm trying to keep at least a little civility. If you remember, we are still here to get my wife back," he said sheepishly. "Oh I see you were being civil, when you fucked my mom," Feather teased. "That's not how it went Feather. I was being taken advantage of," he shot back. "You can't rape the willing," Feather said as she slid her hand down. Just before she reached his cock, something grabbed her hand, and moved it out of the way. This startled Feather, and she looked down. Chad was startled too, because at the same time he felt a warm mouth engulf his cock. As the realization of what was happening came to him, one of the mermaids surfaced. "Forgive me your majesty, my friend and I thought you might need a hand," the beautiful women said. Knowing the promise that Xena made, gave Chad a sense of calm, as the mouth continued to work its magic on his cock. "I don't know her name, but it doesn't feel like a hand," Chad told her. "You're only going to be here overnight. Are names really that important?" she asked as she wrapped her arm around Feather's waist. Feather looked at the mermaid, and brushed her hair back. "I take it Xena is giving us one for the road," Feather said. "Xena didn't send us, it was my idea. I've never had a human before," the mermaid said. Chad looked at her. "Then why aren't you down below, instead of up here talking to us?" he asked. "I lost because she swims faster than..." she replied shyly. Feather shut her up by kissing her deeply. Chad's cock pumped a shot of pre-cum in the unseen mouth. Watching two women make out, never failed to arouse him. "So how about showing me how good your mouth is, while your friend is busy with hers," Feather told her as she broke the kiss. The Mermaid smiled at her, and then sank beneath the water. Chad knew she found her mark, as Feather's head fell on his shoulder. Keeping one hand on the mermaid's head, he placed the other around Feather's waist to help keep her up. "Son of a bitch, this chick is good!" she exclaimed. "You don't hear me complaining, do you?" Chad remarked. 'Since I've been here, I've had sex with Susan's best friend's mother. Tempted by her daughter. Now I'm getting a blowjob from a mermaid. Can this get any weirder?' he thought to himself. Chad turned his head towards Feather. "How in the hell am I going to explain all this to Shea when I get her back?" Chad asked her. "Shea was in the forest for a long time before she met you. If anyone will understand about all this, it'll be her," Feather said just before kissing him. The two mouths worked on them. Feather always wanted to try a mermaid, but never really got up the courage to ask. The mermaid worked magic on her slit. She was even better than Shea. Chad felt Feather pull away. "Holy fuck Chad. I'm going to cum in this bitch's mouth," she moaned. Chad knew what to do to help her. He put both hands on the side of her face. "Feather, I want you to tell me exactly what you are when you cum." Chad said. "I don't understand Chad. Oh God I'm so fucking close!" she yelled. "I want you to tell me what kind of girl you are...slut! Xena did it with Larry, now it's your turn," he told her. Feather did not disappoint him. Her eyes got bigger and she started to shake. "Now! I'm cumming right...fucking...NOW!" she screamed. "Tell me what you are!" Chad ordered her. "I'm a nasty fucking...oh shit...cock sucking...whooooore!" she screamed, as she slumped against Chad's chest. The mermaid that was sucking off Feather surfaced, looked at Chad, and started licking her lips. 'She really must have enjoyed that,' he thought. Chad didn't last much longer either. His cock grew and shot a heavy stream of cum into her friend's mouth. The mermaid frowned when she realized her friend was swallowing what she wanted to swallow. The other mermaid surfaced and looked at her friend. She grasped the back of her head, forcing Chad's cum into her mouth. They stayed like that for a moment, and then broke away from each other. "I know I swim faster than you so I didn't drink it all. Next time I'll let you win, but at least you know what Human cum tastes like," she told her. Chad helped Feather out of the water and started back to the camp. His legs were weak, and from the looks of it, Feather was in the same shape. She leaned on Chad most of the way back to camp. The fire was going strong, and Chad thought it might be a bit too much fire. "Don't you think that a fire that big might draw attention?" Chad asked a little worried. "It'll be ok Chad. Besides, the greater the evil, the more likely they'll stay away," she replied. The two of them approached the camp. They noticed Malifin staring at them; he was not in a pleasant mood. "Now that the group is all together again, is there anyone else you three want to fuck?" he said sarcastically. Chad was getting annoyed at the temperament of this furry little shit. "You know what Malifin. Ever since we started this trip, you've been in a foul mood. Is there something we should know about that's keeping you this pissed off?" he asked. "Well for one, I don't like humans. I just want to get out of this shit hole and back to my family," Malifin explained and it sounded like he softened up a bit on his second point. Chad sat down by Malifin, but not near enough to cause him discomfort. "Malifin, I know you want to go home. If Feather can't get it done, then Shea and I will get you home, I give you my word," Chad told him quietly. Just then, Malifin's head turned quickly and stared out into the darkness. "Did I say something wrong Malifin?" he asked. Feather grabbed Chad's arm and brought her face close to his. "Quiet Chad, Malifin senses danger, it must be close." What the small group didn't know is that something was studying them. The Boraro could easily make out the shape of the human among the others. Marrow told all the forest creatures loyal to him, to watch for a human traveling through the forest, with or without friends. Even though the Boraro wanted to kill this human, he knew Marrow would want this information quickly. The Boraro took note of the makeup of the group and turned to head for the castle. Maybe if he got the news to his master quickly, he would reward him. Maybe he would get a nice little elf to play with for a few hours. Even though he would rather have Shea, or her mother, he knew that Marrow was saving them for the final event. He hoped he could be there when he tortured them to death. Malifin turned to the group with a stern face. "That didn't last long, they know we're here," he told them. "I don't think we're in danger here, but we should watch ourselves in the morning. What ever was out there is sure to head straight to Marrow. When he gets the news, he'll try to keep us from reaching the castle," Malifin added as he tossed another log on the fire. Feather spoke up, "all right everyone lets get some sleep. The Centaurs will keep watch tonight but in the morning, we are on our own." Sleep did not come easy to the group, even more so to Chad. In the morning, the team would make their way to the castle. Now it seems he was going to have to fight his way there. Susan's face drifted in and out of his thoughts, and Leonia's favor to bring her daughter back to her. How could he handle something like Marrow, with a crossbow and sword? A plan started to form, a fleeting thought at first. It soon turned into something more useful. He hoped he could get it all together, before he has to meet Marrow face to face. ********** While Chad was fighting sleep, someone on the other edge of the forest was tossing. Leonia shifted in bed trying to get the image of her daughter out of her visions. She knew she was too old to help fight Marrow, but she couldn't just sit here and wait either. She jumped out of bed and grabbed her clothes. "If I can't help fight, at least I be there for my daughter when she comes back," she said aloud. Leonia went downstairs and grabbed her satchel. She knew her way to the lake and that's where they would stay for the night. If she could just get there before morning, she might be able to see her daughter one more time. Leonia slung the bag over her shoulder, heading into dark forest. ********** The sun was just coming up at the once great castle, but that gave no comfort to the helpless victims trapped inside. Marrow abused the two females, almost on a constant basis. He received great pleasure from hearing his victims cry and scream in agony. Even more when one of them watched helplessly, as the other screamed for mercy. Shea felt as if her whole world flipped upside down, even after finding her mother alive...barely. Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 04 Bolara moved next to her daughter, and put her arm around her. "Shea, you should accept the facts. There is no help coming," she whispered to her. "Trust me Mom. Chad and Feather will find a way. I know him. He won't give up on me," Shea said, even though her voice didn't reflect that. "How can those two take on Marrow?" Bolara said. "He's never gotten a scratch and he's killed a lot of..." She tried to finish her statement, but Marrow appeared at the cell. "How are my two lovely fuck toys today?" he asked as he laughed at them. The two women were already beat down so much, they just cowered in the corner. "What would you two bitches like to do today?" he asked them menacingly. The women knew he was going to be cruel. Maybe he would finally get around to rapping them. Shea and Bolara remained silent. "So you two don't have any suggestions? I guess I'll have to think of something myself. I have a great idea Princess. Why don't you take your dear mother's clothes off for me," he told her. Shea whimpered, and shook her head no. "All right then, I'll make it your choice. Give me the crystal, and your mother can keep here clothes," Marrow told her as he came closer to the cell bars. "I already told you before. It's not here Marrow," Shea spat at him angrily. Marrow was growing impatient with his captive. "You're not telling me the truth you fucking bitch! I've already gone back to that dump you call a home. It's not there!" he screamed. Shea thought of her husband and instantly became worried. "Don't worry slut, your dear human husband was gone. He either got scared or found himself another whore to use," he told her, as his face turned into an evil smile. "Since it's not there, you must have it. If you don't give it to me, you get to see dear mommy naked." "Please don't make my daughter do this. If you want me naked then I'll take them off, but don't make my daughter do this," Bolara pleaded with him. "Tell me where the crystal is Shea," Marrow growled at her. Shea shook her head, and realized that there was no escape for either of them. "Have it your way Princess. Take your mothers clothes off...NOW!" Both women jumped as Marrow screamed at them. Slowly Shea brought her hands up to the top of Bolara's torn gown. Bolara started crying. Pleading with her daughter not to give in. "Hurry up bitch, or my hell hounds will come in there and do it for you. Then you get to see how much your mother loves my hung dogs," Marrow screamed. Shea was just about to pull the gown open, when someone came in screaming. "Master, I have information that you'll be interested in," the Boraro said, as he burst into the dungeon. Marrow was never pleased about interruptions during his fun time. "This better be good. Trust me, your life depends on it you fool," Marrow told him. Shea put her hands back in her lap, glad that Marrow was distracted even for a short time. "Master, I saw a human at Mermaid Lake, and he was not alone," the Boraro said almost out of breath. Shea snapped her head up when she heard the news. "Who else was with this human?" he asked. "All together there were a wokulo, a tengu, Satyr, and a female elf," the Boraro said, hoping the news would spare his life. Marrow turned back towards the cell. "Well Princess Shea, it appears that your husband has some courage after all. Either that or he has a death wish, which I will be more than happy to grant" the evil Ogre said. "You bastard! Leave my husband alone or I swear I'll see you dead!" Shea screamed. "Don't worry bitch, he'll live long enough to see you strung up...and raped. The last thing he'll hear you say is how much you love my cock. Maybe he'll tell me where the crystal is, just to save your pitiful life," Marrow said in a whining voice. "If I were you fuck head, I wouldn't underestimate Chad." Shea glared at Marrow and that was making him angry. "Since you put it like that, let's see if we can put the odds in my favor." Marrow turned to the Boraro. "Go outside and tell the Jaculus to attack the group. Tell him to kill everyone, except the human, I want him brought to me...alive," Marrow told him. The Boraro looked at Marrow, expecting his reward for the news he brought. "Master, I was wondering. Could I have the elf that's with them? She is well built, and will be a good fuck for me." Marrow gave the Boraro a stern look, but gave in. "Fine, tell the Jaculus to bring them both back. You may rape the elf but only after she, and the human, watch me rape these two," Marrow said. The Boraro ran up the stairs to follow his master's wishes. "Please don't hurt him Marrow, I'll do whatever you want, but please leave Chad and Feather alone," Shea pleaded with him. "Just hearing his name makes me want to puke," Marrow said. "All right Princess. If you and your mother do as I say, I will spare their lives. I'll even let your precious human return home." Marrow told her. Shea knew the only way to save Chad, was to give in to his demands. The young daughter turned to her mother, staring into her now shallow eyes. "Mother, it's the only way to save Chad and Feather. I'm sorry," Shea sobbed. "You know in your heart he will never let them live Shea," Bolara told her. Shea was crying softly. Her mother was right, but she had to try. Shea turned towards Marrow, the broken look on her face told him everything. "You win Marrow, I'll do as you say," she sobbed to him. "Then let's start from the beginning. Rip your mother's gown open." Shea raised her hands to the top of Bolara's already torn clothing. "I'm sorry mother." She ripped the gown open, displaying her full breasts. Bolara started to cry openly. "Please Marrow. Don't make my daughter do this," Bolara begged. "Shut up bitch. Your daughter is going to find out just how slutty you really are," Marrow growled at her. Marrow began to stroke his inflating cock. He had waited for this for some time. Shea ripped the rest of the material open, and slid it off Bolara's body. Marrow looked at the once great Queen, as a drop of pre cum dripped off his cock. "Now Bolara, I want you to rip your sweet daughter's gown off. I really want to see, what that human has been fucking." Bolara didn't move. She just sat there with her head down, sobbing. "Bitch, you know not to disobey me. Why don't you tell Princess Shea what happened last time you did that," Marrow said. She lifted her head, her eyes puffy from crying. "He beat me...badly," she said quietly. "What else happened to you?" Marrow asked, egging her on. "He had...had his hellhounds...take me," she was now crying openly. "What a worthless piece of shit you are. Say it like I told you to bitch!" Marrow screamed at her. "He had them fuck me!" Bolara screamed as she glared at her tormentor. "See, that wasn't so hard. Now get your daughter naked. NOW!" Marrow screamed at her. Within a few seconds, her daughter was as naked as she was. "Since your new here Shea, I'll let your mom show you the ropes on what I like," he told her. Marrow slid his cock through the bars, pointing it at Bolara. "Why don't you show her how to get me off?" Bolara moved in front of his cock, and grabbed it with both hands. She slid her hands up and down the length of it, wishing that somehow she could just die. "Shea, would you care to hear what your mother likes to do?" Marrow asked. "Please don't Marrow. Just leave her out of this," Bolara pleaded. "Oh come on. I bet she's curious about what you like." Bolara started sobbing again, but said nothing. "You better start talking, or my hounds will get to have fun with the lovely Princess," Marrow warned her. She lowered he head, and sobbed even louder. "Have it your way bitch." Marrow whistled, and in came two large hellhounds from a spare room in the dungeon. "Last chance Bolara, before they get to have fun," Marrow said. She knew there was no use it fighting it. She had already tried. "I like to get...fucked. I like to get fucked by...Master," Bolara said softly. "I'm sorry my queen, I don't think Shea heard you. Why don't you try it again?" he said. "I like to get fucked by my master," she said louder. Marrow laughed at her humiliation. Shea watched in horror, as her mother surrendered to his perverse wishes. Shea knew the only chance Chad had was for Marrow to keep his word. "What do you like about your master's cock Bolara," he said, as he ran his eyes up and down Shea's naked form. "I like it when I can get Master to...cum off...on my face," she said. Marrow locked eyes with Shea as he continued the humiliation of her mother. "Do you swallow what comes out of Master's cock?" Marrow asked. "Yes." "Yes what you fucking cunt!" Marrow said sternly. "Yes Master. I drink whatever comes out of your cock," Bolara said as if she was a zombie. Marrow was getting close but needed more. "Now, tell your daughter what you drink out of a cock." Bolara paused for a moment. Marrow grabbed a handful of her hair, and turned her to face Shea. "Tell her, or she gets the dogs!" he screamed. "I drink his cum and his...piss," Bolara said as her tears ran down her face. "You're such a bastard Marrow. Leave my mother alone," Shea said. "Don't be sad Shea. I won't leave you out of the fun. Now spread your legs, and show me how you fuck yourself." Shea moved her legs apart and started to rub her pussy. "That's better Shea. Get it nice and ready for my cock." Marrow moaned. Bolara knew she couldn't let Marrow have her daughter. She needed to get him to cum, before he took her. Bolara opened her mouth, and took the head of his cock between her lips. His cock was too big to go any further. Marrow tried numerous times before. "There you go Bolara. Show your daughter what a slut you," Marrow cried out in ecstasy. "Please Master. Can I fuck your hounds after you cum? I really like to suck their cocks, and have them fuck me...in the ass," she told him and then continued her sucking. "See how easy it is Shea," Marrow told her. Between watching Shea play with herself and Bolara's sucking, it was too much and he shot off. Bolara choked on the massive load and pulled the spurting cock free. Marrow continued to shoot his cum onto her face. Bolara knew better than to pull away. Marrow wiped his spent cock in her hair, and released her to return to her daughter. Bolara buried her face in her daughter's shoulder, crying openly. Shea glared at her captor with contempt. "Don't worry Princess Shea. You'll soon get your turn. When I cum all over your pretty face, it will be the last thing that you're sick, human, husband will see. Just before I break his back." Shea pushed her mother out of the way and leapt for the bars. "You fucking bastard. You said you'd let him go!" she screamed. "You don't really think I'd let that human live do you? After he watches me rape you, he'll want me to kill him anyway. After all, I did promise the Boraro he could have your friend, the elf," Marrow said. He wanted to punish her, mentally. Shea reached out and dug her fingernails into the side of Marrow's face. He screamed in pain, as the nails dug deeper into the flesh. Marrow shoved his fist between the bars, hitting Shea in the side of her face. Bolara was screaming, trying to get up to help her daughter. Both women fell backwards, as Shea slammed into her mother. Bolara held her daughter and shook her, but to no avail. Shea was unconscious, one eye starting to swell shut. Bolara looked up at Marrow. "No matter what happens to us. I will see you in hell, you son of a bitch," she said. "Once you and Shea are dead, and I have the Crystal of Physis, nothing will stop me. Not even hell." Marrow turned and left the dungeon, he had a greeting party to assemble. Don't forget to vote. Leave a comment to let me know how I'm doing. Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 05 Sorry for the wait, I had to fix some things. Thank you Professor for the help, as always you're one of a kind. In this segment the group leaves the safety of Mermaid Lake to journey towards the castle to rescue Shea. I'm pretty sure the comments at the end will get a reaction from my readers. Please vote and comment – I can only get better with guidance, and as always; enjoy the journey. The small group gathered their things and said goodbyes. Xena kept pushing to say goodbye to Larry in her own way, but he declined. Larry told her that when they got back he'd make time for her, maybe her friends too. The mermaid who sucked off Feather walked up to Chad. "When you get back, maybe we can spend some time together. I'd really like to be with a human," she told him. "I know everyone here likes sex. However, when I make it back, I'm going to have my wife with me. I don't think Princess Shea will like that I already had sex with your friend," Chad told her politely. He hoped she would understand about what happened already. "I know Princess Shea won't mind. She was the one who helped me with my cherry when I was just forty three," the mermaid told him with a smile. Chad smiled back. 'This place just gets weirder and weirder,' he thought. The group was about to leave when they were stopped at the sound of someone screaming. Everyone turned to see what the matter was. Feather's mom came running out of the forest. Leonia stumbled just as she reached the clearing. One of the centaurs bolted for the exhausted elf. Leonia got to her feet and wobbled forward. She had run most of the way to the lake during the night. The centaur reached out, swung the tired elf onto his back, and galloped towards the group. Leonia climbed down gingerly. Her hair, matted with sweat, clung to her skin. She was bleeding from cuts on her toned legs. Feather ran up to her and caught her before she collapsed. "Mom! What the hell are you doing here? What happened to you?" Feather asked. "I had to see... I had to hold you...just once...more," she Leonia replied breathlessly. "What in the name of Artemis were you thinking Mom? You know better than anyone not to go through the forest at night anymore!" Feather exclaimed. "I'll...be here when...when you get...back," Leonia told her. Xena put an arm around Leonia's shoulders. Then, addressing Feather, she said, "Don't worry about your mother Feather. We'll take care of her and see to her injuries. You worry about getting the princess back." Feather let her mother go. "When I get back --and I will be back--you and I are going to have a long talk about self-control," she said and then kissed Leonia goodbye. The group turned to enter the forest. Malifin lead the way. Larry, Feather, and Chad followed close behind. Nugen was the last one, just incase something tried to sneak up on the group. Chad felt confident if they could make it to the castle, with the group intact, they stood a good chance of success. "We should reach the castle just after night fall," Feather told Chad. "You know the castle better than I do. You're going to have to find a way in," Chad responded. "I already know how we get in. That's not what I'm worried about. It's what to do when we get in," she said. "If Marrow is as bad as you say, he's going to have a small army waiting for us," Chad said. Just then, Malifin stopped and knelt on the ground studying something that was there. The group gathered around to see what he found. There were two sets of large footprints. One set was facing the direction they were going. The other set was facing the direction from where they came. "Now we know what was watching us last night, a Boraro," Malifin told them. "I'm sorry if I sound stupid. It looks like the tracks are backwards," Chad said. "That's how we know it was a Boraro. The being looks like a human, but its feet point backwards. The name means, 'the white ones', because they have pale skin and hairy chests. The only good thing about them is that they're easy to take down," Feather said. "What makes them so easy? Given the size of that print, it seems they're pretty big," Chad asked. "They have no knees. If you can knock them down, you can defeat them." Larry informed him. Feather looked up at Chad. "You're the one he was hunting. They hate humans and will track them through the forest, waiting for the right moment to attack." "I don't think we will have to worry about this one. He probably left to tell Marrow that we're here. We won't see him again until we get there. On the down side, Marrow will probably send some trouble our way," Malifin told the group. He stood up and faced the others. "From here on out, we watch each others' backs. There will be no unnecessary talking. Whatever we meet out there, we don't want to help them by making a lot of noise," the Wokulo said. Malifin took his position again and lead the group deeper into the forest. Chad looked over to the Satyr. "Nugen, you follow Larry. Feather and I will take up rear guard," Chad said. "As you wish, your majesty. Um. Forgive me...Chad," Nugen said politely. "Are you up for this Chad? From here on, it will just get worse," Feather whispered to him. Chad leaned over and kissed her lips, sliding his tongue into her mouth. Feather finally pulled away and caught her breath. "What was that for?" Feather asked in surprise. "I thought I'd kiss you. I may not get a chance again," Chad said as he went to follow the others. The forest was quiet, which only made Chad nervous. It had been a few hours and he was starting to feel it in his legs. A break would be nice. As they moved along, Chad heard the sound of water running. He knew one thing from hunting: Never pass up water when you can get it. "Hey, Feather. Let's stop up here. I think I hear water running," he said, maybe a little too loudly. The noise caught Malifin's attention. He turned to face Chad with his face full of anger. Feather signaled to the team to hold up at the nearby stream. Once they gathered around, they drank what they had left, and refilled the wooden jugs. Malifin moved over next to Chad, whispering quietly to the human. "When I said no noise, that's what I meant. You're new here, so I'm going to give you a break. But until we get to the castle...shut up!" he said tersely through tight lips. Chad signaled that he understood the furry little man. He didn't know which he'd have to fight first, Marrow...or Malifin. Larry looked over at Chad, giving him a glance that showed he wasn't pleased either. Feather moved over next to him and put her lips next to his ear. "Don't let them get to you Chad. They're just used to the forest and noise discipline," she said reassuringly. Chad didn't want to say anything, so he just patted her on the leg and stood up. Chad motioned to the group to get started again. He felt a lot better now that he'd rested for a short while. About twenty minutes later, Malifin grabbed the handle of his sword and froze. This caused the whole team to follow suit. Chad's heart started to race. He remembered what Feather had said about Malifin. Danger was close by, but where? Up above the trees, the Jaculus waited. The winged serpent-like creatures had a reputation for quick shooting attacks. When the prey was close, they would launch themselves from the trees and sink their large teeth and claws into their victims. Once the Jaculus attacked, very few creatures ever got away. They were just too fast. This one was still a good hundred yards off, but realized the group knew he was there. What stood out the most was the first creature. If the furry dwarf could sense him, he might lose the advantage. Everyone in the group scanned the forest for the danger, but no one saw any signs. After a few minutes, Malifin started forward...slowly. Chad keep staring behind them to make sure the attack was not from behind. Just as he turned towards Malifin, that's when he saw it. It was almost as if time slowed down. Shooting out of the trees was a large-winged serpent. Its wings were pulled back in what looked like a power dive. Malifin pulled his sword out and quickly crouched in preparation to defend against the Jaculus heading straight for him. Chad could see the puzzled look in the creature's expression. In the blink of an eye, Malifin had disappeared. Since the Jaculus lost his intended victim, he turned his aim towards the next one in line. 'This stupid creature must be petrified. He's standing perfectly still,' the Jaculus thought. Larry instinctively knew that when Malifin vanished, he was next. He allowed the creature to approach him. The Jaculus seemed so confident in his attack. While Larry was waiting for the Jaculus to hit him, Feather pulled out her bow. As she pulled an arrow back, preparing to fire, she realized it was too late. The Jaculus began to move its talons to the front, so he could hit the Tengu with claws and fangs at the same time. Larry grabbed the two samurai swords at his sides. Larry laughed to himself, as the creature was within range. 'Stupid creature', he thought. To Chad, it was all a blur. He had never seen anything move that fast. Larry stepped to the side as he pulled the swords out, crossing his body. The Jaculus had no chance as the Tengu's swords removed its head cleanly. The creature never touched its intended target. Chad, Feather, and Nugen all dove to the side, as the body of the Jaculus slid lifelessly across the forest floor. Larry gave the two swords a quick flick of his wrists, removing the blood from the razor sharp blades. As Chad pulled himself up, he could see that Feather was laughing and shaking her head in disbelief. Larry approached the others to see if they were injured. "What do you find so amusing, Elf?" Larry asked. "Well I've heard how fast the Tengu are, but I didn't think it was possible to be that fast," she told him. Chad moved over to the dead creature and looked at Larry. "I was just wondering. Would anyone like to tell me what that used to be?" he asked. Feather put her bow away and looked at Chad. "That was a Jaculus. It means 'javelin' because they shoot out at you like a spear," she told him. Larry looked around and asked, "So what happened to our furry little friend?" Just then, Malifin reappeared right next to Chad. "Jesus H Christ Malifin! Don't do that right next to me!" Chad exclaimed. "Sorry about that, didn't mean to startle you...human." He approached Larry, keeping eye contact with him. That was a nice move," Malifin told him. "That was a pretty good move yourself, disappearing right before that thing hit you," Larry said. "If you guys are done patting each other on the back, we should get going before something else jumps out at us," Chad cautioned. "Chad's right. This guy won't be alone. Marrow will try and send as much as he can to decrease our numbers before getting to the castle," Feather told group of creatures. Malifin took the lead as they continued towards the castle. Chad could only wonder about what Feather said. If Marrow sends anything else their way, how many of them would even make it to the castle? The capabilities of Malifin and Larry were very useful, but what about a larger force of creatures? They continued on their way with no further delays and made good time. Nugen fell back to walk with Chad. The satyr leaned in to whisper to him, "Majesty, have you thought about what we are going to do, when we get to the castle?" "I'm still working on it, Nugen. As soon as I figure it out, I'll fill you in. I'm still wondering how Feather will get us in," Chad said grimly. Larry signaled the group to take a break up ahead at the edge of a small clearing. When they reached it, Malifin said he was going to check around the small meadow to see if any danger was out there. In an instant, he vanished. You could see his imprints on the grass, as the Wokulo headed off. Feather sat next to Chad so they could speak to each other without having to raise their voices. "Nugen is asking some good questions, Feather," he told her. "What is he asking you? It wouldn't have anything to do with having sex with me is it?" she said giggling. "More along the lines of what the plan is. You still need to fill me in on how you are going to get in," Chad said with a little urgency. "This is the meadow that Shea and I used to head to when we snuck out for a fuck session. Her mom and dad never could figure out how we did it--getting out of the castle without them knowing about it. We're going to use the same trick to make it in. We're about an hour from the castle, but just up ahead there's a cave. That cavern will lead us to an underground chamber that we can use to sneak up to what used to be a spare room." "What happens if someone is in that room when we enter it?" Chad asked. "I'm more worried about what might have moved into the cavern while we've been gone," she told him nervously. "On a good note, if you haven't noticed yet, I haven't had a hard on since we left the lake. It's kind of nice to have a break," Chad told her trying to lighten the mood. "Don't kid yourself Chad. It's not you. It's the evil in this part of the forest. Nothing happy ever happens here and probably won't until we get rid of Marrow," Feather said. Malifin returned after going around the edge of the meadow, finding nothing. "Welcome back. Are we being watched, Malifin?" Larry asked. "All I found were a lot of tracks leading towards the castle. It appears that Marrow is gathering his forces," Malifin told the group. Feather discussed the plan with them. If they were going to risk their lives for Shea, they might as well approve of it beforehand. The plan was a simple one. Once they got to the cave, they would separate. Larry and Malifin heading to the front of the castle, while Chad, Nugen, and Feather slipped in to get Shea. If Larry and Malifin could cause enough chaos out front, it might be enough to draw attention away from them. They could quietly grab Shea and get out. Then, everyone would meet up at the clearing and head back to the lake. Simple enough plan, if Marrow didn't have an army waiting for them. The group gathered up and headed for the cave. Chad kept rehearsing in his head his own plan of what to do once they got in. Going head on with an evil Ogre was going to take skill and a lot of luck. From what he learned from the others, Chad knew that Marrow was predictable in his combat tactics. Chad was counting on Marrow's ego to get the best of him. That would give him just enough of an edge to win...and get his wife back. ********** Marrow gathered as many as he could to defend the castle. Most of the creatures did it out of fear, instead of loyalty. The easiest way into the castle was to go in the front. Even though, as a precaution, he had placed a few of the Jaculus to guard the sides of the stone structure. Now that Marrow had the entrance well protected, he could return to his previous activity. The Jaculus would be back just in time for the human and elf to see the torture of Shea and Bolara. Marrow returned to the dungeon to attend to his two victims. It had only been a short time since he came, but was he was beginning to have that itch again. The only entrance to the lower portion of the castle was the stairs. He placed the two biggest hellhounds at the top, just incase the Boraro decided to interrupt again. Marrow approached the cell. Shea was still lying unconscious in Bolara's lap. "I think I'm ready for a little fun again," Marrow told her. He opened the cell door and grabbed Shea. Bolara reached up and tried to push him away, but to no avail, he was just too big. "Get your hands off my daughter you bastard," she screamed at him. Marrow backhanded her in the ribs, causing Bolara to roll to the other side of the cell. Marrow heard the bones break in her ribs, and let out a soft moan, "God I love that sound." Bolara went to the fetal position, clutching her now broken ribs. "You should have learned by now bitch! Don't ever keep me from my fun," he told her. She would have continued to fight back for her daughter, but she found it hard to breathe. Marrow dragged Shea across the floor by her arm, like a child pulling a doll. He hauled her to the center of the room where two large ropes hung from the ceiling. They were paired with two mounted on the floor. Marrow first tied her arms up, causing her to hang about two feet off the ground. Then he did the same to her legs, making Shea's body form a large X, suspending her in air. Marrow walked back to the cell where Bolara was huddled in the corner. "Very soon, we're all going to have a lot of fun," Marrow told her. "The Jaculus should return soon with your son. He gets to watch, while you and your daughter scream, until you both die," Marrow said in an evil growl. Maybe I should reward him for coming here with a small gift. How would dear old Mommy like to give her little son a nice blowjob?" Bolara could only sob aloud. She knew he could do what he wanted...she couldn't stop him. "I asked you a question slut. Maybe I can get your sweet daughter to answer for you," Marrow said as he looked at Shea's suspended body. Bolara kept her eyes down. "Yes Master. I would love to give Chad a blowjob," she said softly. "Not good enough Bolara. I'll just have to get Shea to say it right," Marrow told her as he turned towards Shea. "No please. I can do better." Bolara told him quickly. Marrow turned back to the cell, looking at the battered woman. "That's a wonderful idea Master. I would love to have my sons cock down my throat. He could face fuck me and tell me what a good Mommy I was and shoot his cum straight into my belly," she said with as much excitement as she could muster. "You're such a fucking slut Bolara. Now I know why I kept you around all these years. It truly will be hard to replace you; after I kill you and your bitch daughter," Marrow said laughing at her. Marrow turned to leave the dungeon to check on the guards, and wait on the Jaculus to return. Before leaving, he decided to have a small chat with Shea. He slapped her face to wake her up. "Very soon Princess you are going to die, but not before your husband watches my cock slide into your sweet little cunt." After all of you are dead and I get the Crystal of Physis, nothing will ever stop me," He reached up and pulled her nipple away from her body causing her to groan. Marrow laughed loudly as he released the now sore bud. "This is going to be a great day; a very great day." ********** Chad, Feather, and Nugen said goodbye to Larry and Malifin. They wished each other well and good hunting, but before they separated, Chad knelt down next to the small Wokulo. "Malifin, I know you don't like humans much, but there is something you should know before we part ways. I would give everything I have to get my wife back, even my life. The same thing goes for you and Larry. If it meant that I should die, so you can get home to your family, then so be it," Chad told him. Malifin looked at him for a short time before reaching out and placing his hand on Chad's shoulder. "Go get your princess back. I'll see you when it's all over. I want you to do me a favor though, if you would please," Malifin said quietly. "What ever you want my furry little friend," Chad said. "Try not to stumble over the dead bodies on your way out of the castle," Malifin said with a chuckle. Chad grinned and went to join his group, as Malifin and Larry headed for the castle. Chad could only hope that the cave and adjoining tunnels would be empty. Feather led the way into the dark cave. Chad pulled a flashlight out of his backpack and followed her, while Nugen took up the rear. Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 05 "Feather, when you used this tunnel did you ever have a torch or something?" Chad asked. "If I remember correctly, it should be just up ahead. It's not like I come here on weekends for parties," Feather replied. True to her memory, there were two large torches mounted on the cave wall. Feather got the torch and lit it with Chad's Zippo, casting a soft eerie glow on the walls. Chad could see small off shoots every few yards, and prayed nothing was in them. He pulled his sword out and followed his friend down the long tunnel. After walking for about a half hour, they came to two tunnels. Feather stared at both. "Ok tour guide, which way?" Chad asked. "We have to take the left tunnel, but that's not the problem Chad. The problem is, there are tracks on the ground heading into the tunnel, and none coming out." They knelt down and looked closer. Chad studied the tracks. He had seen something similar before. "Looks like a dog, but they're too big for that," he said. Nugen took one look and knew right away, what they were. "You are correct your majesty...I mean Chad. They are from a type of dog, a hellhound." "You mean like from Hell type of hellhound? Big enough to take your head off whole, type of hellhound? I thought they were just a myth," Chad said. Feather leaned in and told him, "Chad, did you somehow forget where you are?" Feather stood back up and stared down the tunnel. "We have to keep going. Let's hope it's not too many of them, or even worse. Marrow found the entrance," she told him. After a few hundred yards, the tracks turned down one of the smaller openings. 'Maybe they wouldn't have to fight these things after all,' Chad thought. Just as Chad reached the opening, he heard the growl. Nugen was just behind Chad and shoved him forward, out of the way. This put Nugen directly in front of the hole. Feather turned to see Chad lying on the ground, while Nugen tried to get his sword ready. The satyr never knew what hit him. The hellhound leapt out of its hiding spot and struck Nugen, taking him to the cave floor. The weight of the hound was too much for Nugen. He couldn't move to get free. The hellhound sank his oversized canines into Nugen's throat and pulled upward, killing him instantly. Feather pulled her bow out, getting ready to fire. It would be tough shot with Chad in the way. Chad got up and faced the large dog as he crouched for another attack. The beast lunged towards Chad, ready to do the same type of damage to him. A vision of Larry's fight with the Jaculus flashed in Chad's mind. Just before the front paws made contact, Chad ducked to the side, and shoved the sword through its stomach. The momentum carried the large dog forward, literally impaling itself on his sword, until the tip was sticking out past his spine. The dying creature let out a loud howl and fell to the floor, taking Chad with him. Feather was about to lower her bow, when the second hellhound came out of hiding. This one was smaller and must be the mate of the now dead beast. Feather only had a few seconds to save Chad's life. In quick secession, she launched two arrows. One hit the female's throat, the other piercing its brain. The hellhound was dead before she ever reached the cave floor. Feather ran over to Chad, helping him from beneath the dead hound. "Thanks Feather, I owe you one," he said. They moved over to Nugen, his chest, visibly crushed and his throat ripped open. "He saved my life Feather," Chad said as his voice chocked with emotion. She looked at him sadly, "Chad we have to keep moving," she said. "What do we do with Nugen? We can't just leave him here with the dogs," Chad told her, as he closed Nugen's lifeless eyes. "Damn it Chad he's dead! We can't bring him back to life. Now get up and let's get Shea back," Feather told him, trying to bring him back to reason. Chad got up, retrieved his sword, and joined Feather. "How much further is it to the entrance?" he asked in a stern voice. Chad's anger was starting to rise within him. He took Nugen's death personally. "Not too much further, we should reach the room in another thirty minutes or so. After that, we have to find out where Marrow is holding Shea. That may take some time. Let's just hope he has more defenses outside the castle, than inside," she told him. ********** Larry and Malifin looked down over a small hill, checking the front entrance to the castle. From their vantage point, they could see at least two sides of the stone structure. That wasn't all they saw. Perched on top, were two Jaculus looking down at the large herd of creatures of all shapes and sizes. As the two of them surveyed the area, Marrow made an appearance at the large front door. He looked up at the sky in the direction of Mermaid Lake. "You think he's looking for the Jaculus you took care of?" Malifin asked. "Well then I guess 'Fat Boy' might want to sit down, it'll be a long wait," Larry said with a chuckle. They saw Marrow say something to one of the other Jaculus. In no time, he leapt off the top and headed in the same direction. Larry looked over at Malifin. "I've got good news, and I've got bad news," he said. Malifin looked back at Larry. "What's the good news?" "Well, we only have one big bird to worry about." "What's the bad news?" Malifin asked. "We still got one big bird to worry about," Larry told him. "God, I can't wait to get away from you Larry." ********** Back at Mermaid Lake Leonia was drying off from the healing pond. Now that all her cuts were gone, she looked like an angel again. Xena and the other mermaids cleansed the small pond. They had to ensure it was ready for use at all times. Leonia stood off to the side of the pond, looking out into the forest. After a few moments, she walked over by the lake and once again looked out into the forest. Even though the healing pond had returned her to her previous beauty, it could not take away the nervousness she had within her heart. Xena watched as the lovely elf paced back and forth, each time stopping to look out to the forests edge. Xena knew what she was feeling. The fate of the entire forest rested with a small band of hero's, one of them a human who had never set foot in the forest. Xena didn't know which Chad possessed the most, courage...or stupidity. Xena walked up to Leonia. "I see that you're troubled. Your daughter is very brave and smart. I'm sure she'll be returning soon," Xena told her. "I take it that the pond does not relieve stress," Leonia said, staring out at the forest. "No Leonia. I'm afraid it will only heal you. Stress relief is normally done out here in the clearing," Xena told her as she held the elf's hand. Leonia looked at the beautiful mermaid. "My husband died a few years back or I would be getting some stress relief right now. Since Chad is out there with..." "Oh I see," Xena said smiling at her. "No. It's just that he stayed the night and...well, he is a human," Leonia said quickly. "This part of the forest is still very sexually active. You don't need to tell me about the effects of the forest on humans," Xena said as she squeezed Leonia's hand. "I wish that pond could make it so I could just sleep till they returned," Leonia said quietly. "If it's a peaceful night sleep that you need, I might be able to help with that," the lovely mermaid offered. Leonia studied the sexy mermaid. After a few moments, she turned her gaze to the ground. "I don't know Xena. I don't think it would be a good idea." Xena reached over and lifted Leonia's head back up. "It would help you sleep. Why would you say it wouldn't be a good idea?" Xena asked her with a puzzled look. "It's just...I mean to say that I've...well I've never really..." Leonia couldn't find the words. "You mean to say you've never been with another woman? Not even during a threesome with your husband?" Xena asked in amazement. "Well it's something we never got around too. We did try threesomes, but they were with men. I know Feather enjoys it, but the chance never came around for me. I think I would be rather clumsy," Leonia said sadly. "Let me be the judge of that Leonia," Xena told her as she pulled her face close to hers. "Just remember. Do what feels good, not what's right." Just then, she placed her lips on Leonia's, pressing softly. Xena nibbled at her with her lips. This being Leonia's first time she didn't want to rush the elf. Leonia's heart raced. The kiss was so much different than a man would kiss. She felt her pussy moisten at the gentleness of it. Leonia parted her lips and allowed her tongue to dance over Xena's lips. Suddenly she felt the mermaid's tongue on hers, the tip dancing around wildly. Xena ran a hand over Leonia's cheek, caressing her softly as her fingers played with her long hair. Leonia pulled back, gasping for air. "Oh Xena. That was so...is it always...oh my," Leonia tried to say but she was losing her balance. "I think I know how you feel. When I had my first girl kiss, it was magical. I guess it's because we know how we want to be kissed so we kiss back that way," she told the panting elf. Xena slid her hand up to Leonia's breast, caressing it through her gown. "I must say Leonia, you have lovely breasts. So full and soft," she whispered in her ear. Leonia laid her head on the mermaids shoulder, trying not to fall over. This gave Xena access to her supple neck, where she placed small kisses. Leonia moaned as she felt Xena's fingers lightly pull at her nipple. Leonia could feel her pussy juice leaking out onto her legs. "Would you like me to continue?" she whispered in her ear. "I'm not sure...I don't know what..." Leonia said weakly. "I told you. Just do what feels good to you," Xena said. Leonia lifted her head and kissed Xena, thrusting her tongue into the mermaid's mouth. The kiss was rushed and deliberate. Leonia's passion was fueling a desire she had never felt. Xena could sense the hurriedness of the elf. She had a lot to learn about being with another woman. Xena broke the kiss. "I think you should get more comfortable Leonia. Let me show you how to undress another woman. Then you can try it on me," she told her. Leonia just nodded her head. Xena ran both hands up Leonia's body. Caressing the outside of her breasts, and then sliding over her nipples. The gown she had on caused the nipples to respond even more as they rubbed against the fabric. Leonia was wobbling due to the erotic feelings coursing through her body. After toying with her nipples, she moved her hands up to the small beads holding the gown closed. Slowly, she undid a few of them. As more of Leonia's flesh became visible, Xena would run her fingertips over the sensitive area. Leonia never took her eyes off the mermaid. When Xena had enough of the beads undone, she slid her hands inside and moved it away from her breasts. The gown now only hung on her body by the edges of her shoulders. Leonia's mouth was open trying to get air. She felt as if she couldn't breathe. "I want...I want to...kiss you," Leonia whispered. Xena smiled back at her. Leonia moved closer and placed her hands on the sides of Xena's face. Slowly she pressed her lips against hers and kissed her. Leonia didn't rush it like last time. She explored Xena's mouth, as she would want her lover to do to her. "Mmmm. You're learning Leonia," she moaned. Xena let the gown fall to the grass, leaving Leonia naked to the view of anyone who wanted to look. The elf shivered at the naughtiness of being naked and groped by this beautiful mermaid. "Would you like to try and undress me?" Xena asked. "I'd like to try, but my head is spinning. I don't know what's coming over me. I never thought it could be like this with a woman," Leonia said. "Maybe you should lie down," Xena told her as she guided her to the ground. "Yes. I should lie down...before I fall down," she told her as her legs gave out. When Xena had her positioned on the soft grass, she moved her body next to hers. She could literally feel the heat coming from the elf's body, as she ran her fingertips over her taut stomach. When her hand reached Leonia's legs, they immediately opened to allow her access. "My, my. You are really excited Leonia," Xena whispered. "You have me so...wet. God, I really need..." Leonia whimpered. "To have sex?" Xena asked. Leonia couldn't speak. She just shook her head no. "Oh I think I see now. I believe you might take after me a little. I think what you were trying to tell me is, you just need...fucked. Is that right Leonia? Do you need to be fucked?" Xena asked. "Yes. But we don't have a cock around here handy," she said in a complaining tone. "Oh I think I can satisfy you without a cock sweetheart. You just leave it to me and I'll make sure you get a good nights rest," Xena said as she plunged two fingers into her leaking pussy. Leonia's head snapped back as the sudden invasion took over her senses. Leonia had been finger fucked before, but this felt different. Sleek feminine fingers were working on her leaking sex hole. Leonia had a small cum when Xena started sucking on one of her nipples. "Oh shit! I didn't mean to cum so soon. It's just I'm so..." Leonia said. "You're what Leonia? It's ok to say it...its ok," Xena said trying to coax her on further. "I'm just so...fuck...I'm so fucking hot!" the elf screamed. Xena motioned for her friends to come over. She was going to need their help is Leonia was going to get any sleep tonight. "In a few moments you're going to experience something wonderful. Something only a hot...sexy...woman can experience. From another woman," Xena told the whimpering elf. The mermaids knew what Xena wanted. They had done this countless times to each other. They just hoped that the elf could take it. After all, she wasn't a mermaid. Leonia had her eyes closed so she couldn't see the others approaching. Suddenly she felt a pair of lips on her breast. The unknown mouth sucked on her flesh as a snake like tongue danced around her nipple. What made it erotic was the long hair that tickled her skin. Xena slowly fucked her fingers in and out of Leonia's pussy. She thought the sensations couldn't get any better. She was wrong. Another mermaid latched onto her other nipple. This time though she lightly scrapped her teeth on the hard bud. With both her nipples being sucked and soft hands stroking her body, she began to tremble. Xena knew she needed more. She need to cum so hard that she would pass out from it. A third mermaid lay down next to her head, kissing her softly. When Leonia was kissing the other woman deeply, Xena added two more fingers to her overheated pussy. The two sucking her tits grabbed a leg and pulled it up, giving Xena unobstructed access to her hole. Leonia screamed into the mermaid's mouth. Now she understood why Feather liked girls too. She just hoped she could go back to men after this. Leonia had to break the kiss so she could get her breath. "Oh shit...oh fuck...oh shit...," she cried out every time Xena pushed her fingers inside. "It feels different than when a man does it. Don't you think so Leonia," she asked. "It feels...fuck...like you...son of a...have your...fuck...whole hand...shit...in me," Leonia cried out. "Not yet. I don't think you could handle that right now. Maybe next time we get together we can try that," Xena said as she bent down to flick her clit with her tongue. "Oh you sweet fucking slut! Oh I'm sorry...oh damn...I didn't mean to..." she yelled. "It's only natural Leonia. I told you, do what feels good...not what's right," Xena said as she abused the elf's clit. "Oh damn! Do women...do it differently...fucking shit...when they..." Leonia was now sobbing. It felt as if her pussy was on fire. "When they suck a hot cunt like yours? Is that what you want to know? Do you want to know what it's like being sucked off by another woman?" Xena was teasing her with her words. The mermaid that was kissing her leaned in and nipped at her ear. "Go on Leonia, tell her. Don't hold it back. Say the things you want to say...say it...say it now," she told her. "Oh my fucking...do it damn it! Suck me off you mermaid. Suck my fucking...my fucking cunt off slut!" Leonia screamed out. Xena latched her mouth against Leonia's pussy. With four fingers fucking in and out, she thumbed Leonia's clit with her tongue. Leonia tasted a small squirt from her hole. 'This elf is getting ready to squirt,' she thought. Xena slid her hand down to her pussy and rubbed her own clit quickly. It didn't take long for the mermaid to bring herself off. When Xena's orgasm rushed through her body, she screamed into Leonia's cunt. This caused a vibration against Leonia's lips pushing her over the edge. "Now! Oh my sweet...I can't..." Her words ended there as the mermaid kissed her hard. She tried to close her legs but the other two held them fast. Leonia couldn't help it as she squirted her juice into Xena's open mouth. Every time her muscles contracted, juice would squirt. The elder elf wanted to stop but couldn't move her legs. She was at their mercy. Leonia felt the ground spinning. "Why won't the spinning stop?' she thought. Just as quickly as the orgasm started, it stopped. Her body lay limp on the ground, unconscious. Xena motioned for one of the centaurs to come over. She told him to take care of her throughout the night. The half horse half man picked her up, bringing her to the camp. The fire would keep her warm and the others would watch over her. Xena and the others returned to the water. They were sure she'd sleep for a while. When she reached the rocks, she laid her head down. As she drifted off a vision of the group came to her. She hoped that the prince of the forest had the courage to see it through, even if he was a human. ********** While Larry and Malifin came up with their own plan, Feather and Chad had reached a stairway that led up to the castle. "So now what do we do Feather?" Chad asked. "We follow the stairs till we get to a stone door, there's a small latch that releases it. After that, we go in and find Shea," she told him. "What are the chances that Marrow will be in that room when we get in?" Chad asked, a little more worried with the lack of numbers. "In that case Chad, we'd better be prepared for a big fight, because he won't be alone. He knows we're coming, and probably has a large welcoming committee for us...or Larry and Malifin." Chad left the crossbow strapped to his back, but his sword was drawn and ready for use. If Marrow was going to greet them, he was not going down, without taking a chunk of the Ogre with him. Feather and Chad went up the stairs as quietly as they could. He didn't remember ever having to climb this many steps. 'How deep underground are we?' he thought to himself. Feather approached the rock wall cautiously, as Chad brought the light closer. It appeared to be one continuous wall. "Are you sure there's a door here Feather?" he whispered. Feather turned to look at him and put a finger to her lips, signaling him to remain quiet. Feather turned towards the wall, running her hand down until she found a small crevice in the face. She was getting ready to pull it, when she heard the voice of Morrow on the other side. She remembered it when he killed her father. "Well you little bitch. When your dear sweet husband gets here, we're going to have a huge welcome for him," he said. "Then you can watch as I kill him slowly. However, if you tell me where the Crystal of Physis is, I'll kill him quickly. It's your choice Princess Shea," Morrow said. Feather heard her friends name and her heart raced. She pulled Chad close and whispered in his ear. "Shea's in the room with Marrow...she's alive Chad, Shea's alive." Chad's eyes began to tear up at the news of his wife. Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 05 'Hang on Susan, I'm right hear. I'm going to get you out,' Chad thought. Feather suddenly heard Marrow scream at someone. "I told you before Boraro, don't disturb me unless the Jaculus is back with the elf and human." "That's why I came down my Lord. The Tengu and Wokulo are standing on the small hill to the North getting ready to attack, but the human, elf, and satyr aren't with them," she heard the Boraro say. "The other three can't be too far away," Marrow said. "Guard her till I get back. She better be just as I left her when I do," he warned the Boraro. Once Marrow had left the room, the Boraro went over to the Forest Nymph Princess, rubbing his hardening cock. He just couldn't wait any longer to satisfy his craving. "I can't wait any longer Princess Shea. I've wanted to put my cock in you for some time now," the Boraro told her. Shea knew she couldn't stop him. He was going to rape her first. Feather told Chad what she heard and waited a few moments. Taking a deep breath, she pulled the latch and swung the door open. Both Feather and Chad charged into the room quickly. Chad's heart stopped. He saw a large creature with backwards feet, groping Susan's breasts. The creature had its back to the two intruders. He didn't realize they were there, until Susan's uninjured eye became very large, and she tried to talk. It was just the sudden thought that she and her mother were getting out of this hell...without having to fight Marrow. Her happiness was soon shattered, when the Boraro turned to see Feather and Chad approach him. Larry and Malifin stood on the top of the hill, waving at the creatures below them. "Malifin, try to stay with the plan as long as you can. If I go down, it will be up to you to get the others out," Larry told him. "I can only do the best I can. Let's just hope these creatures are as dumb as they look." Malifin turned his head to look at Larry. "If we both go down, it was an honor fighting along side you," "No time like the present," Larry said. "Let's go say hi my furry little friend." With that, they both started to run towards the castle. Marrow exited the castle and looked towards the forest. He saw the Tengu and that shitty little Wokulo, but what he wanted to find was the elf and human. "Send everyone out, but watch for the others. I want the human and elf alive. Do what you want to the fur ball and birdman, but don't hurt the human or elf, they're mine to deal with," he told the Jaculus. Suddenly he leapt off the tower and headed for his prey, knowing that they were responsible for the disappearance of the other Jaculus. Just when he had his target, the Wokulo disappeared. Larry stopped and looked around for Malifin, he seem to be confused. The Jaculus looked at the bewildered creature. 'The battle had not even begun, and the two were already falling apart. This was going to be too easy,' the Jaculus thought. Larry pulled his bow out, and started firing arrows at the approaching bird, all of them missing their mark. 'If it's going to be this easy, it won't even be fun,' the winged creature thought. Fangs out, talons forward, the Jaculus was upon his victim. The last thing that went through the beast's mind was where the sword came from in front of the Tengu. "Nice hit Malifin", Larry told his friend. "I wish I could say the same about your bow skills", Malifin fired back. "I was trying to give you a chance. We should at least have a little fun out here," Larry replied as he put an arrow through the skull of the lead hellhound a hundred yards out. The two then charged the on coming group as bravely as they could. They were heavily out numbered. Marrow watched the Jaculus fall to the ground. He might have underestimated these two. Marrow turned to one large hellhound that stayed by his side. "The others should have been out there with them. If they weren't out there, then they must be inside," he told him. The hellhound turned to follow Marrow into the castle. With any luck, he would leave a little of the human left over, they tasted a lot like chicken. ********** Feather pulled her bow back, ready to fire at the Boraro. Chad didn't hesitate as he sprinted towards the creature, but in doing so, he blocked Feathers view of her target. The Boraro had very long arms and swung at his head, even before Chad was within striking distance. Chad was a fierce fighter when he was angry, and right now, he was extremely pissed off. He knew the swing was coming. The stupid creature pulled his shoulder back a small amount. Chad lowered his head slightly and the Boraro's arm sailed harmlessly above him. Chad slid to the floor and kicked the creature, in what should have been his knees. The Boraro started to fell to the floor, just as Feather said he would. Feather could only look on and admire Chad's reflexes. Chad quickly placed the handle of her father's sword on the floor and allowed the Boraro to stab himself, as he fell on top of it. Chad was on the ground looking up at his wife. Shea had tears running down her cheek. Feather's voice broke him from his trance. "Nice move Chad. Now let's get the hell out of here," Feather said as she moved into the center of the room. Feather surveyed the room for more danger. Then her eyes came upon something in the corner of one of the cells. The woman raised her head and looked at Feather. "Oh my God! It can't be true...Bolara!" Feather screamed. Chad was trying to untie Susan when he heard Feather. "Chad, forget about me. Help my mom first...please," she told him. He quickly gave his wife a kiss on the check and ran over to Feather, as she tried to pull on the cell door open. The door wasn't budging and he asked the woman in the corner if she knew where the key was. Bolara crawled to the bars while still holding her ribs. She was extremely weak. "There's no time for this Feather. You have to get Shea out of here. If Marrow comes back, he will torture all of us to find the Crystal of Physis. Then kill everyone," she pleaded. Chad knelt down in front of her and held her hand. "I don't know your name, but if you are Susan's mom, we don't leave without you...or her." Just then, they heard a low growling sound. Feather turned around, but it was too late. The hellhound was on her, knocking her to the ground. "Well now, this is a surprise. I was sure you'd be out there with your friends, getting slaughtered," Marrow told them. Chad moved away from the cell, he knew he couldn't help Feather with the hellhound. His only chance was to keep Marrow's focus on him, and not the others. Marrow descended the stairs slowly. He saw Chad's sword still embedded in the dead Boraro. "So you're Princess Shea's husband. I can't help but admire your perseverance human. Well actually, it's either that...or your stupidity." Feather looked over and found she couldn't reach her sword, and could feel the bow smashed beneath her. 'This is not turning out good for the home team,' she thought. The hellhound had one large paw in the center of her chest, making it impossible to move except for her arms. "Are you finding it hard to breathe Elf?" Marrow asked with a laugh. "So, you're the great Marrow," Chad said, trying to keep the attention on him. "You know I thought when I first met you, I'd be a little scared. Now after seeing you, I think I'm just nauseous." "Maybe you can help me with something human? Pick which one I should kill first; the elf, Bolara, or your whore wife, Princess Shea," Marrow said. "Chad, get out while you can," Shea pleaded with him. "Oh come on now Princess Shea. He just got here, and we have so much fun planned," Marrow said in a whining tone. 'If I can just get this fucking dog off me, it will be two against one. We might have a chance,' Feather thought. Chad had moved to the other side of the room, still keeping Marrow's attention. He dropped his backpack on the floor next to him. "You know Marrow. I think I will help you with that question. I think the first one to die should be you. That way, we all have a great day. Hell maybe we'll throw a big party to celebrate," he told him. Feather was still struggling under the hellhound. 'Damn it Chad. Stop trying to piss him off, I can't help you,' she thought. "Not very likely...Chad," Marrow said in a mocking way. Chad looked over at his wife. "Princess Shea, I'll be with you in a minute. Just let me take care of Shit Head here first," Chad said, using her real name. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Feather move her hand to her waist. Chad knew she kept a dagger tucked in her belt. She was getting ready to make her move on the hellhound that had her pinned. His plan was starting to work. "You know Marrow. I've only been around here for a few days. I hear you're looking for something. It wouldn't happen to look like this, would it?" Chad asked, as he reached into his shirt. Chad pulled the Crystal of Physis out, letting it dangle from his neck. All three women let out an audible groan. They suddenly realized that Chad brought the crystal to the one place it should never be. 'Chad you're out of your mind. Why would you bring it here?' Shea thought, as hope disappeared from her soul. "You foolish human, you've sealed all of your fates. I get to rape your wife, and I get the Crystal of Physis," Marrow told him. "Now how about you being a good boy, and give the crystal to me. Maybe I'll let you live," he told Chad. He had to keep his plan going. He had to get Marrow angry enough for it to work. "I heard that you were fairly dumb Marrow. I don't recall anyone saying you might have brain damage, that's pretty funny," Chad said. Marrow glared at the arrogant human. Shea was going to watch, as he tore the limbs off this insignificant human. Chad really didn't want to fight this thing. If his plan was going to work, he needed the Ogre to follow his fighting tactics. He needed Marrow to charge at him. Chad got his wish. "You fucking human. I'm going to rip that crystal from your dead body," Marrow screamed. Given the size of the room, it only took a few seconds for Marrow to close the distance between them. Fortunately, that's all the time Chad needed. He reached into his back pocket, pulling out the Tulok root Leonia had given him. Just as Marrow was about to hit Chad, Feather pulled the dagger out. She pushed it into the lungs of the hellhound, killing it quickly. Feather pushed the carcass off her, just as Marrow was about to collide into Chad's body. Chad braced himself for what was sure to be a powerful and painful collision. Marrow hit Chad, wrapping his arms around him. The powerful Ogre quickly tightened his grasp, trying to snap Chad's spine. Regrettably, he did not see the Tulok root Chad was holding, or he would have let him go. Chad could only hope this would work as he closed his eyes. He had only one thought...home. Ever watch a TV show where the season finale leaves you hanging till next year? Don't worry I won't leave you hanging that long, but I thought it would be funny to leave it hear...just for a little while. Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 06 To start this chapter I have added an excerpt of the ending of chapter 05. Sort of a preview from last seasons ending, lol. Please leave comments on how to get better. I can't be like JazCullen but I can still learn. Remember to vote, and no matter what happens in life...enjoy the journey. Now, without further ado, the conclusion of Secrets of the Forest Nymph. * He had to keep his plan going. He had to get Marrow angry enough for it to work. "I heard that you were fairly dumb Marrow. I don't recall anyone saying you might have brain damage, that's pretty funny," Chad said. Marrow glared at the arrogant human. Shea was going to watch, as he tore the limbs off this insignificant human. Chad really didn't want to fight this thing. If his plan was going to work, he needed the Ogre to follow his fighting tactics. He needed Marrow to charge at him. Chad got his wish. "You fucking human.

Fortunately, that's all the time Chad needed. He reached into his back pocket, pulling out the Tulok root Leonia had given him. Just as Marrow was about to hit Chad, Feather pulled the dagger out. She pushed it into the lungs of the hellhound, killing it quickly. Feather pushed the carcass off her, just as Marrow was about to collide into Chad's body. Chad braced himself for what was sure to be a powerful and painful collision. Marrow hit Chad, wrapping his arms around him. The powerful Ogre quickly tightened his grasp, trying to snap Chad's spine. Regrettably, he did not see the Tulok root Chad was holding, or he would have let him go. Chad could only hope this would work as he closed his eyes. He had only one thought...home. ********** The blinding light that accompanied the travel between worlds subsided. Chad found himself once again slightly dazed, but in his bedroom. The room was in tatters from Marrow's previous visit to find the crystal. However, one thing remained on the bed...thanks to Feather. Marrow, disoriented as well, stumbled haplessly away from him. So far, Chad's plan was working. The Ogre turned towards Chad. "You stupid human, you've done nothing to stop me. This just means you'll die here. Shea will die right next to her whore mother...and her friend." "Before you kill me Marrow, there's one thing you should know," Chad told him. "What is that, you worthless human?" "In this world...these things work," he said. Chad grabbed the .357 magnum that was left behind when Feather dragged him into the forest. If this worked, he'd have to give her a big kiss when he returned. Marrow charged at Chad for the second time since they met, but it was to no avail. He raised the weapon up, and put two rounds into the chest of the evil Ogre. The hollow point bullets lived up to there reputation, as they entered Marrows chest cleanly. However, the rounds left a hole the size of a human's fist, in the center of his back. Marrows eyes were as big as marbles as he came to the realization...the human won. Chad aimed higher. "Welcome to my world fuck head. Now go to hell," he told the dying Ogre. Chad fired a single shot that tore through Marrow's brain, finishing the job. Chad slumped against the bed, the stress of the journey rolling off him. Suddenly, he snapped his head up. "Oh my God, Susan!" he said aloud. Chad slid over and grabbed Marrow's lifeless arm. He thought of his wife, as he closed his eyes to shield them from the bright light. ********** Feather removed the dagger from her victim, and then went over to Shea. "Give me a second Shea, I'll have you and your mom out of here soon," she said. Feather cut the ropes that were suspending the princess, and then laid her against the wall. She could tell from the look on Shea's face what she was thinking. "Please don't worry Shea. Chad's a smart guy and I know he'll be ok," she told her. "How could you let him bring the Crystal of Physis here, of all places?" she asked weakly. "Shea I swear. I had no idea he brought it with him. Now just rest here why I try to find a way to get Bolara out," Feather told her abused friend. Feather moved over to the cell door, and started pulling on it again. "Bolara, do you know where Marrow keeps the key for the door?" she asked. She looked up into Feather's eyes, and started to cry. "He keeps it in his pocket. Just get Shea out of here. Leave me behind Feather," Bolara whimpered. "I'm not leaving without you Bolara!" Feather yelled. "As your Queen, I order you to do as I wish. Get her out," she said, trying to sound as majestic as she could. Just then, a very bright light blinded all three women. When their vision returned to normal, they witnessed a remarkable sight. In the center of the room was Chad. He was kneeling next to the dead body of Marrow. Feather didn't know what to say. She couldn't believe that one human, who had never been to their world, could ever have defeated Marrow. Coming to her senses, she yelled at Chad. "Get the key for the cell out of his clothes." Chad searched the dead body and found the key. He tossed it over to Feather and then moved to be next to his wife. He placed one hand on the underside of her chin, lifting her face up. "Nice to finally meet you...Princess Shea," he quietly said and kissed her lips. Feather had to help Bolara. She was too weak walk alone. She was also having difficulty breathing from her broken ribs. "Chad, you help Shea, I'll take Bolara with me. We really got to get out of here." Feather told him. "There's a problem here Feather. I don't think these two can go back out through the cave. It would be dangerous to take them out front. The only option we have is the Tulok root," Chad said. "That wouldn't be my first choice Chad. For one, they probably won't survive the trip. If they do, any hospital would take blood test. That would be awkward trying to explain our way out of that. I think our best choice is out the front. At least we would have Larry and Malifin to help us...maybe," Feather told him, a little unsure about what has happened out front. Chad and Feather ascended the stairs; one arm around their charges, the other holding their swords. When they reached the door to the upper level, Feather turned to Chad. "What do you think our chances are that Larry and Malifin are still alive?" she asked. Chad placed Shea against the wall and handed the Tulok root to Feather. "You three stay here. I'll go check on Larry and Malifin. If anyone other than me comes through that door, it's up to you to get Shea and her mom back to my world. Once you're there, get them to a hospital right away," Chad told her. Chad leaned down to Shea, "I lost you once already, and I'm not going to lose you again. I will be back for you." He kissed her softly on the lips, hoping not to hurt her anymore than she already was. "I love you Princess Shea." Feather told Chad how to get to the front of the castle. He opened the door slowly, stepping out into the corridor. As he proceeded to the castle door, Chad got a little nervous. He should have seen at least some of the creatures inside the castle. The only ones they had come across so far were Marrow, the hellhound, and that thing with no knees. Walking out into the courtyard, he looked up and saw a bright full moon. "Now that's the first normal thing I've seen in days," he said with a chuckle. Chad readied his sword as he approached the front gate. His apprehension grew, there was no noise coming from the outside. 'Now that can't be a good sign. One of two things has happened. Either everyone is dead, or the other creatures are waiting at the door,' he thought. Chad slowly pushed the door opened and peered outside. What he saw in the moonlight was beyond words. The bodies of at least two hundred creatures were lying on the ground; covered in blood. He knew there was no way his new friends could have survived that kind of an onslaught. He turned around to head back to Shea, when something caught his eye. Fifty yards away he saw a large white wing lying on the ground. In a dead sprint, Chad covered the distance in seconds and knelt down by the blood covered Tengu. He put his fingers to Larry's throat, trying to find a pulse, when his eyes fluttered open. "Hi human. How's your day going so far?" Larry said softly. "I can't believe you're still alive Larry! Did Malifin make it?" Chad asked. "Malifin's over there. I don't think he's doing very well. He had five hellhounds on him towards the end of the fight." Chad went over to find the Wokulo and soon discovered him, surrounded by dead hellhounds. Chad could see that the beasts tore him up pretty good. He had large gouges covering his body and he was bleeding badly. "Malifin can you hear me?" he asked. Chad reached down and found that Malifin had a pulse, it was weak, but it was still there. Chad ran back to where Larry was and placed his hand on the Tengu's shoulder. "Malifin's still alive...barely. You stay put and I'll get the others," Chad said. Chad ran back to the castle, trying not to trip over the dead bodies. When he reached the door to the dungeon, he called out. "Feather its Chad, I'm coming in." He opened the door and helped his wife stand up. "Feather, I found Larry and Malifin but their both injured. Malifin is in the worst shape. He's bleeding badly, and he's unconscious. I don't know how to help him," Chad said quickly. They all walked as quickly as they could out of the castle, rejoining the rest of their group. When they reached Larry, the Tengu looked up. "So you're Princess Shea. I'd bow your Majesty, but I'm a little under the weather at the moment," Larry said chuckling painfully. Feather took in the scene around her. In all her very long life, she had never seen the amount of carnage that lay scattered around her. "Christ Larry, do you think you could have saved some for us?" She said, trying to cheer Larry up. Larry started laughing. "Oh damn, don't make me laugh. That doesn't feel very good." Chad laid Shea next to Larry, and took hold of Bolara. "Feather, go check Malifin and see if you can help him, he's over there," Chad said. Feather ran over to him and knelt down. She started to check him over when Malifin opened his eyes. "Well Elf, I guess you get to skip out of your promise to me," he said weakly. "You don't get to die just yet Malifin. I made you a promise and I intend to keep it. You're going home, but we've got to get you patched up first," she replied. Chad looked at Bolara. He could tell from her breathing, she probably had a punctured a lung. "We haven't been properly introduced. My name is Chad Franklin." "Nice...to meet...you. I'm Bolara," she said slowly. "We may have a hard time getting everyone to a hospital. I don't think they know how to treat a Tengu or Wokulo," he said jokingly. "I can help...with that," she said, finding it harder to breathe. Bolara reached into Chad's shirt and held the Crystal of Physis. She closed her eyes and whispered, "Come...to me, my...friends." Chad looked at her mystified, as she released the crystal. It started as a subtle sound, like the wind blowing softly across an open field. As the sound grew, Chad could tell it was the sound of wings disturbing the air. Chad laid Bolara next to Shea. He drew his sword, ready to take on the Jaculus. "Oh my God. It can't be true," Chad said softly. "I take it...Shea has...not told you...about...the Crystal of Physis." Bolara said painfully. Chad was in shock, as he watched two winged Pegasus land just short of Bolara. He looked down at Shea. "Feather told me that they left the forest," he said to her. "We have a lot to talk about honey. We should do it a little later I think," Shea told her husband. Chad put Bolara and Shea on one of the winged horses while Larry slowly climbed on the other. Chad ran over to help Feather as they picked the wounded Wokulo up, and slowly moved him to the other horse. "Larry, do you think you have enough left in you to hold onto Malifin?" Chad asked. "Well, it would be a shame to let the little fur ball down now," Larry joked. Feather looked at the Pegasus that held the Royal family. "Get them to the Mermaids as fast as you can fly." The beautiful creature nodded its head and then leapt into the air. The other Pegasus followed suit, and headed after its friend. Once the horses were on their way, Feather wrapped her arms around Chad's body and hugged him. "I can't believe you killed Marrow. Would you mind telling me how you did that?" Feather asked. "Actually a lot of the credit goes to you. If you hadn't pulled me into the forest before I could pack my gun, I don't think I could have done it. Your mother gave me a piece of Tulok root. I thought if I could get him to my world, then I'd have a chance," he told her. "Have I told you lately Chad, how proud I am that you're my friend?" she said as she released her grip on him. "Not lately. But if you feel so compelled, don't let me stop you," Chad said as he laughed at her. Feather leaned in and kissed him deeply. Chad broke the kiss and looked around at the scattered bodies. "So who gets to clean up this mess? It sure won't be me," Chad said. "You know Feather, on a serious note. How are we getting back to the lake? I'd like to make sure the Mermaids are taking care of Shea," Chad asked. "You still keep forgetting who you are Chad. You are part of the royal family, and, you have the Crystal of Physis," Feather reminded him. Chad reached into his shirt and pulled the crystal out. "Well, let's see if this works for me, like it did Bolara," Chad whispered. "If anyone can hear me, Feather and I could use a ride to Mermaid Lake." Within moments, a beautiful Pegasus approached them. "That is so cool! I could really get used to this royalty stuff," Chad said happily. Chad climbed on, and then helped Feather up. Turning his head, he looked at Feather. "I think Marrow's death is changing the forest for the better," he said. "How do you mean Chad?" she asked. "If you haven't noticed, I'm getting a hard on." Feather just laughed. The animal took off and headed for the moonlit sky. Chad starred in awe as he surveyed the forest below him. He could finally understand the amount of devastation, and hurt that the evil Ogre Marrow had placed upon the forest, and those who lived here. His thoughts on the forest were soon broken, as he saw numerous fires that made the lake clearly visible. The Pegasus landed smoothly and trotted over to the waters edge. Once they got off, he went to the front of the animal. "Thank you my friend," Chad told him. For a fleeting moment, it looked as if the horse smiled. Suddenly they heard someone yelling from behind them. It was Feather's mom, Leonia. It appeared the mermaids did a good job of fixing her up. She was in a quick sprint for her daughter. Feather almost went down as she collided with her. "Oh Feather, oh baby, I'm so happy you're ok," she cried out. "I never would have guessed, Mom," Feather laughed at her. Chad stood there watching the two women. He now understood why Bolara was willing to stay behind in the cell so her daughter could be free. Even though he thought this place was one orgy after another. There was still nothing greater that a mother's love for her daughter. Leonia let her daughter go and threw herself onto Chad. "Oh Chad, how can I ever repay you for what you've done?" she asked. "You can start by...uhhh...letting me breathe," Chad tried to tell her. Her hold on him tightened. 'God this lady is strong," he thought. When she released her hold on him and he caught his breath, he held her at arms length. "Leonia, as much as I want to catch up with you, I really should check on Shea," he told her. Chad went to the healing pond where he found Shea and the others. No less than ten Mermaids were tending to them. Chad noticed that Xena was working on Shea. He knelt down next to the edge and called her over. He needed to find out his wife's condition. Xena put her hand up, as she propped herself up on the edge. "Two things you need to know your majesty," she said. "First off; I would like to say thank you for killing Marrow, and bringing Queen Bolara back to us," she told him as she bowed her head. "You're welcome Xena. I'm just glad to have my wife back. You said two things, what's the second," he asked. "Thank you for returning Larry. I was starting to miss that cock of his." Chad just laughed it away. "Now that you have that out of your system, can you please tell me how my wife is doing?" Chad asked. "I'm sorry your majesty. Princess Shea and Queen Bolara will be just fine. We should be done around morning, but Malifin has major damage, we're doing all we can," Xena confided in him. "What about Larry?" he asked. Xena looked him in the eyes and smiled. "Larry's body will be just fine. I have my best girl on it; I mean him your majesty." "Jesus Xena, give the guy a break. He just got done with the battle of our grand children's lifetime," Chad told her, as he rose to join Feather and Leonia. "It looks like they'll be just fine. Xena said it's going to take awhile for Malifin. He got it pretty good," Chad said. "He's a tough little guy. I bet within a few days he'll be back to giving you a hard time," she told Chad, as she looked over at the Mermaids. The three of them moved away from the small pond, so as not to disturb the work on their injured friends. Feather headed for the group of Centaurs, while Chad and Leonia started setting up a tent for the night. The last day had been the longest of Chad's life. He just needed to stop, and let it roll off him. He saw Feather talking to the Centaurs about something, so he decided to start the fire without her. Since Marrow was dead, he didn't worry if it would draw attention. By the time Feather returned to help, Chad had already finished and was resting his head on his backpack. Leonia was lying next to him. "Hey stranger, glad we could get camp set up for you," Chad said teasingly. "Very funny your majesty, you have a real sense of humor," Feather said as she bowed respectively. "What's up with the Centaurs? You're not trying to get laid are you?" Chad asked. Leonia perked up a bit when she heard that. "I told them about the castle, they're going to take care of the bodies. They'll also return Nugen, so we can pay our final respects. I know Bolara, she'll want to give him a hero's funeral," Feather told him. "That's the least that we could do. He gave his life for me, for all of us," Chad replied sadly. Suddenly they heard something walking behind them. Out of the woods appeared two satyrs, one of them was a topless woman. They approached Chad and Feather and bowed. "Your majesty. I pray we are not disturbing you," the man said. "Not at all Sir. What can we do for you?" Chad asked. "We are Nugen's parents. My name is Cearul and this is my wife, Niamh, we wanted to meet the man that killed Marrow," he said. Chad jumped up, which startled the satyrs and they began to back up and bow. "Please don't do that, I just want to shake your hand. Your son was very brave. You should be extremely proud of him." Chad told them, as his heart started to sink again. Cearul stood up, shaking Chad's hand. "We are proud of him your majesty. In the morning, Niamh and I shall go and retrieve his body. My wife would like to have him buried near our home," he said, as Niamh started weeping softly. Feather faced the two. "There is no need for that Cearul. I have already sent the Centaurs to bring Nugen back. We will give him the funeral of a king for what he did for us." She then went over, placed her arms around Niamh, and held her as she started crying harder. Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 06 Feather and Leonia tried to settle her down the best they could. Chad told them how Nugen saved his life, and of the bravery he showed. After a short time, the two satyrs' returned to their home. Feather, Leonia, and Chad lay back down next to the fire. "It's been a long day you two. I think I'm going to get some sleep," Chad told her. "If you think today was long, wait till the sun comes up and everyone wants to thank you. I'd put money on it that Shea will want to thank you. Not to mention the Mermaids," Feather said as she snuggled up next to him. "If it's alright with you Chad, I don't want to be to far down on that list," Leonia added. "Are you two forgetting that my wife is right over there? Jesus, I can't be the only guy around here," Chad told them. Leonia curled up on the other side, laying her head on his chest. "The only one handy right now." ********** It was a very bright and warm morning, as the first day of a new forest arose from the ashes of the evil rule. To the forest creatures that had gathered by the lake, it was a great weight lifted off their shoulders. They had their royal family back, thanks to a human that had never been here before. Chad felt something fluttering about his face and slapped at it. The sound he heard next woke him up. A distinct female giggle, but it sounded like something small. He felt startled at first when he opened his eyes and saw what was making the noise. Three small women with wings were hovering above him. "Sorry about that, I forgot where I was," he apologized. They bowed in mid air, giggled, and flew off. Feather came out of the tent. She was wearing a flowing white gown, her hair pinned up with flowers. "Wow! Feather you look fantastic!" Chad yelled. "Thanks Chad. I wanted to get freshened up to welcome back Bolara," she replied. "Now that you mention it, we should get down to the lake and see how things are going with the Mermaids. Where's your mom at?" he asked, getting to his feet. "She's already up by the healing pond. She was thinking about waking you up again...um...like the other morning. I had to fight her to let you sleep. You're going to have a long day as it is," Feather told him. They walked towards the healing pond. Chad couldn't decide if he was excited or nervous. 'What will life be like, now that Shea's secret is out in the open? How do I explain everything that has gone on trying to save her?' he thought. As they got closer, he noticed that there was a large gathering of creatures near the pond, presumably to welcome back the one true heir to the forest. That strange buzzing sound was near him again, and Chad turned to look. Once again, the three little winged women were floating near him, giggling. Chad nudged Feather with his elbow to get her attention. Feather turned to see what he wanted and saw the little women. "Those are Forest Sprites Chad. Now that Marrow is gone, I presume we'll see more of the little ones come out of hiding." 'This is a strangely wonderful place,' he thought to himself. "If I didn't know better, I'd say you're flirting with me," he told the three Sprites. They broke out in high-pitched giggles, and one of them blew a kiss towards him. She blushed brightly, and then, all three of them scattered off like little school girls with a crush. When they reached the large group of creatures, Feather cleared her throat to get their attention. Noticing who it was, they quickly parted a path and began to bow as they walked by. "All this royalty stuff is going to take some getting used to," Chad told her quietly. When he passed Leonia, she bowed gracefully, and then gave him a seductive wink. Chad could see that Shea and Bolara were just getting out of the water. He had a sudden urge to run up and grab her, but she was busy. Surrounding them were numerous Sprites sliding on gowns and doing their hair up like Feathers. Once the Sprites finished, Queen and Princess turned to greet the large crowd. All the forest creatures either bowed or dropped to one knee, including Feather and Leonia. Their eyes met for the first time since Shea was placed on the Pegasus. She looked both radiant, and nervous; probably because her secret was now out in the open. Chad decided to calm her fears, as he too, dropped to one knee and lowered his head. "Thank you everyone. It's a distinct pleasure being among all of you again," Bolara said to the group. Chad raised his head and looked at his wife. "Hi Bright Eyes," he said to her. In one quick movement, Shea ran to her husband. Chad didn't have time to get up. Shea literally tackled him and went backwards, with Shea on top of him holding on tightly. "I guess that means you're glad to see me...Shea," Chad told her holding her close. "Oh Chad, you have no idea how many times I wanted to tell you who I was. I never meant to deceive you. I love you so much Chad," Shea told him, sobbing lightly. Chad pushed her up slightly so he could see her face. "I realize that we're royalty, and we can get away with a lot of things, but people are staring at us," he told her, trying to calm her down. Her reply was to kiss him deeply, as she ran her fingers through his hair. "Ok you two. Either break it up...or get a room," Feather said, laughing at them. Shea got to her feet, giving her long time friend a huge hug. "I knew you two would come for me. I just knew you would," Shea said. Chad got up off the ground and stood by Shea's side. "Wow, that pond does work magic. You're just the way you were before. Feeling up other women," he said laughing. "Come on honey, there's someone I want to formally introduce you to," Shea said as she grabbed Chad's hand. They stood in front of Bolara, Shea beaming happily. "Mother, this is my husband, Chad," Shea said proudly. Chad bowed respectively in front of her. "It's a pleasure, Queen Bolara," Chad said. Bolara placed her hand under Chad's chin and raised him up. "Chad, you and your friends saved not only Shea and I, but every living creature within the forest. From this day forward, until the end of time, we will forever be in your debt," Bolara said. Queen Bolara went to one knee and bowed her head. Following her mother's example, Shea began to go down, along with all the other creatures that were there. Feather leaned in towards Chad, "I was just wondering. Does this make us famous?" After Bolara stood up, Chad removed the Crystal of Physis from around his neck. "I think this belongs to you Majesty," he said. Bolara took the crystal and placed it around her neck. "One day Chad, when you're ready, this will belong to you and Shea," she said. "Next time you take the front Human, and I'll rescue the girl." Everyone turned to see Larry coming out of the water. Feather and Shea both ran up and grabbed him. "Easy girls, I just got done with the 'Mermaid from Hell', I could use a break," Larry said, as Xena exited the pond. Feather looked at Xena who was wiping cum off her chin. "How is it going with Malifin?" she asked. "We should be done by this evening. He'll be just fine Feather." Xena said. "I can't wait to give that little fur ball a great big kiss," Feather told her. "If I'm not busy, I might just join you," Shea told her friend. Chad shook his head as he heard the girls talking. Shea turned to her husband. "So, how much did Feather tell you about the forest, and its effects on humans?" Shea whispered. "Enough to know we should find someplace more private...soon", Chad whispered. "Oh, you have enough left after Leonia, Feather, and a mermaid?" she asked him. Chad looked like a little kid with his hand stuck in a cookie jar. "If you think I'm mad Chad, you're wrong. That's what makes this place so special. We have no 'rules of society' here. Here, we love one another equally. I also know that tent in your pants isn't going away by itself," Shea said with a huge smile. Chad heard Feather giggle. "See Chad, I told you Shea would understand. Same old human...thick headed," Feather told him as she slapped him in the head. "You know, since you were so brave and rescued me. Whatever you want me to do, I wouldn't say no," she told him. "Now that is strange. I didn't think you'd say no anyway. Maybe you need some more time in the pond," Chad said jokingly. Bolara looked into the crowd of creatures. "My friends. It has been too long, since the forest has seen a proper celebration. Tonight we celebrate our new freedom; and those who risked their lives to make it possible," Bolara announced. The group broke out in cheers. Chad could only wonder what a 'proper celebration' meant to the forest creatures. The crowd soon dispersed, leaving Bolara and her new family of friends alone. "Chad, I don't know what you're intentions are after tonight, but I'd like you to consider staying here in the forest," Bolara told him. "I realize now why Shea missed this place. I think it should be up to her to decide," he told Bolara. Chad looked into Shea's eyes as he cupped her face in his hands. "Either way you decide is fine. There will be one unbroken rule however. I will never leave your side." Chad said as he kissed her softly. "Hey, you two are making me jealous. Why can't I find a guy like that?" Feather told them. They all laughed at Feather as she stood there with a fake little pout. Sure enough, Leonia had the same one. "Mother, as much as I love it here, I also love the life that we have in the human world. I'm just not sure what to do?" Shea said. "You seem to have forgotten who you are. You are Princess Shea. It is your right to have it both ways. If it is your wish to live in the human world, then so be it. But you may also return as often as you would like." Bolara told her daughter. Shea held her mother tightly as the love for her came pouring out. Feather looked at Larry. "You know Larry, with a little help from Queen Bolara; we could make it to my home and back before the party. I'm sure my mom will want some of her rum punch," she said. Leonia had a big smile on her face, nodding her head. "Sounds great, I could use a break from the Mermaids," Larry said laughing. "I did say I was in your debt Feather," Bolara said, as she held the crystal and whispered softly. A moment later one of the Pegasus trotted up, nudging Feather. "Please take them home and wait for them," Bolara told the animal. "Leonia, if it is agreeable with you, I could use some help getting the celebration together. I know Morrow took your husband from you, as he did mine. It would mean a great deal to me, if you and I worked together. Maybe get to know one another," Bolara said. "Thank you your majesty. It would be an honor," Leonia said and then bowed. "Oh please Leonia, I do wish you would call me Bolara. After all, friends should be on a first name basis. Don't you think?" Bolara told her. The two elderly women left to get things started as Feather and Larry went home. This left Chad and Shea alone by the pond. Chad wrapped his arm around his wife and led her back towards the tent. "So Princess Shea, I was just wondering. Are there any more secrets I should know about?" Chad said teasingly. "Um...I love sex," she told him "Nope, I already know that one," Chad said. "Uh...I like to suck cock," she said as she rubbed the front of his pants. "Sorry, I already heard that one." "Um...I swing both ways," she said. "I found that one out a few days ago, nice try." "I'm really into watersports," Shea told him. "WHAT!" Chad screamed. "Ha Ha...I got you Chad," Shea laughed at him. Chad slapped her ass and continued towards the tent. Once inside, Chad pulled his wife close and kissed her softly. Susan...I mean Shea, if you don't want to do this because of what you went through, I'll understand. You and you're mom have been through a lot. I don't want to push you," Chad said worriedly. "There are still some things you need to learn. The healing pond not only heals you outside, but inside as well. Haven't you seen a change in Leonia? Xena told me what happened last night. Her pain for her husband has almost gone. Along with her inhibition about being with a woman from what I hear," she told him as she slipped the gown down her body. "You mean Leonia and Xena were..." "Fucking each other? Yes, Chad they did," Shea said as she undid his pants. "Oh poor baby. You're not jealous of Xena, are you?" she asked. "I don't know what you've heard, but Leonia took advantage of me that first night. She got me drunk and forced herself on me," Chad told her as he stepped out of his pants. "Oh I see. She tied you down and just took it," Shea said as she jacked his cock. "No she...oh shit...seduced...God I love your hand," Chad told her as his legs began to shake. "Chad, you're not keeping your story straight. Did she force you or seduce you?" Shea had a shit eating grin on her face as his cock became slick with pre-cum. "That drink she makes must be some type of aphrodisiac. That was it. She...fuck...she drugged me," Chad told her. Shea leaned in and kissed him. Chad's mouth opened when he felt her tongue slide against his lips. The heat of the moment was getting to him. He couldn't believe after all she went through, she seemed to be acting as if nothing had happened. Chad pulled his head back and gasped for air. "Oh shit Susan; I mean Shea. I'm having a hard time keeping straight what name to call you," Chad told her. "Honey, you've only known me as Susan. If it's easier, call me Susan." Shea leaned up next to his ear. "If you don't want to use Susan or Shea, why don't you just call me...slut? Maybe whore, or cum dump are more to your liking," she whispered. Chad had to wrap his arms around her to keep from falling down. 'Was it possible the healing pond turned her into a bigger nympho than she was before?' he thought. His knees were shaking badly from the all the trashy talk she was giving him. "Let's lay down for a bit Chad. You seem to be having a hard time standing up. Well, at least most of your body anyway," she told him as she squeezed his cock. Chad went to the ground quickly. When Shea got comfortable next to him, she took his nipple into her mouth and sucked hard. She knew what Chad liked, and since this was his reward, she was going to make it special. "Oh fucking Christ Shea. What the hell are you doing to me?" he moaned out in passion. "If you haven't figured it out yet. I'm trying to repay you for saving me silly. This is your reward for all the...hard...things you went through," Shea told him as she jacked his cock faster. "I love you Shea. I'll always come after you. No matter what," Chad said breathlessly. "I love you too Chad. As a reward, I'm going to do something special for you. I'm going to give you the fuck of a lifetime," She said, then quickly swallowed his cock in one swift motion. "OH FUCCCCCKKKKKK! Chad screamed. Shea held her hand against her lips as she bobbed up and down on Chad's cock. Every time she let the tip slip into her throat, Chad pumped out more juice. Shea picked up speed as the blowjob went on. The faster she went the more Chad's legs trembled. Shea didn't want to suck him off. She wanted him to cum inside her pussy. Shea released his cock from her mouth. "How was that Chad? Do you still think I have the best mouth you've ever had?" She asked. "Oh fuck honey, you have me so hot right now," Chad told her. "You didn't answer my question. Do I have the best mouth ever?" Shea pushed him. "Yes. Oh shit, yes," he told her. "Did Leonia suck your cock baby?" Shea asked her panting husband. Chad was silent for a moment, and then Feather's words flowed through his mind. 'If anyone will understand, it will be Shea.' "Yes, she did. She fucking took my cock down her slutty throat," Chad told her. "Now you're learning sweetheart. You're in the forest, and we don't have any sexual hang ups here," she told him as she jacked his slick cock. "Fuck Shea, you better do something quick or I'm going to shoot all over myself," Chad told her, trying to hold back the floodgates. "Don't you dare waste it on your stomach, I haven't fucked you yet. I want your hot cum in my slutty little cunt," she told him. She knew the nastier she talked the harder he'd shoot off. Shea straddled her husband's body. With one hand holding his cock, she placed the tip just inside her slick lips. Shea looked deep into Chad's eyes, and then forced her body down, stuffing every inch of his cock inside her. "Oh fuck!" They both screamed at the same time. Shea raised herself up again and repeated the deep insertion. She felt a small twinge of pain as the head of his cock brushed her womb. After several times she stopped and let his cock throb in the tightness of her sex. "You have no idea how much I love your cock Chad. You simple are, a big cocked human," she told him as she slid her hips back and forth. "And you're a slutty little Forest Nymph," Chad replied. "Yes I am, but I'm not alone, am I Chad. You found out the forest is full of sluts. Nasty, cock sucking, pussy eating, cum swallowing sluts," Shea said. "No, you're not alone. Everyone here is...oh fuck...a nasty fucking whore," he said, trying to last a little bit longer. "You'd love nothing better than to fuck everyone, wouldn't you Chad? You want all those sluts to spread their legs for you. Just like Leonia did," she told him, moving her hips faster. "Yes." "Sluts, just like me," Shea pushed. "Yes." "Like Leonia," she said. "Yes. Oh God please...don't talk," Chad begged. "Like Feather," she said. Shea had him against the ropes now. There was one thing that he talked about from time to time in the human world. Something that never failed to get him off. They did it sometimes when they were role-playing with each other. "Maybe a big fucking stud like you needs more than one woman. Maybe you need two whores at the same time, like Feather and I," she asked. "Oh God, no. Please Shea, don't. Not now" Chad begged her. "Maybe you need something more...taboo," Shea said, fucking him faster. "Please, I'm begging you. Not here," Chad was almost crying. "I told you Chad. We don't have those human beliefs here. Haven't you noticed; God I'm so fucking close Chad. Haven't you noticed that we all love to fuck each other," Shea said, her breathing getting faster. "Shea, please stop," he said. "Stop what sweetheart? Stop asking if you want to fuck Leonia and Feather at the same time. Both their slutty mouths working your cock," Shea pushed him further. Shea couldn't understand him as he tried to answer. Chad was babbling badly, his body was losing control. This was the moment Shea had strived for, for her dear sweet husband to let go of all inhibitions. "Xena said her cunt tastes like honey. I bet you'd just love to see Feather sucking all that sweet juice. While you shoved your big, thick, human cock deep in her ass," Shea said. "No...oh...um...fu...ohhhhhh," Chad was incoherent. "Mother and daughter sucking each other off like wild whores. Having Leonia squirt all the hot cunt juice all over her daughter's face," Shea told him. She couldn't hold out much longer either. She needed his cum to push her over the edge. "Oh God damn Chad! I'd be right there next to you, rubbing my fucking cunt off. I'd be watching as you pulled your...big...fucking...cock out of her ass. Watching as you shoved it in Feather's mouth. I know she loves the taste of ass juice on a cock. Especially when it's mine," Shea whimpered. "Oh fuck...yes. Yes, you big titted fucking slut," Chad screamed. "Everyone would hear Leonia scream 'suck mommy's ass juice off Chad's cock...you bitch,'" Shea told him. The floodgates had now shattered. Chad's cock shuddered inside his wife. The first shot splattering against her cervix hard. When Shea felt the scalding juice flow into her, she went off with him. She screamed at the top of her lungs; not the kind of scream from pain, but of sheer joy. She felt like her whole body ripped open to allow every ounce of pussy juice to flow out over Chad's heavy balls. Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 06 Chad on the other hand, was coming so hard that his cum literally blasted more of Shea's fluid out of her. Bright flashes of light went off in Chad's head. He wanted to could scream with Shea, but he didn't have any air in his lungs. Now, after rescuing his wife, she was trying to kill him with sex. Once their orgasms subsided, Shea slumped down hard against Chad. She had a difficult time catching her breath. Never in her one hundred and seventy five year life, had she experienced anything so strong. Death could now come and she would be content. "What...what hap..." she couldn't talk. "I don't...know," Chad replied. He had the same thing wrong with him, lack of oxygen. "I never had...I can't move Chad. I'm scared," she told him. It took every ounce of strength from Chad to raise his arms and hold his soul mate. He tried to hold her closer, but the power in his arms was no longer there. "It's ok...bright eyes. I...got you," he told her. Chad wasn't sure who had him. "I wish...I could yell...for help," Shea said as she shook uncontrollable. Chad and Shea lay together in the tent for some time until their bodies responded to the nerve impulses to move. It was hard to move off Chad's sweat covered body, but she did. Chad forced himself up on one elbow and looked down at his wife. "I've never experienced something like that before," he told her. "I don't know what that was Chad. It was like..." "Magic," Chad broke in, finishing the sentence for her. "We should try to see if Mother needs help for the celebration," Shea told him. "Do you think you can walk?" Chad asked. "Do you think you can Chad?" "Maybe we should hit the healing pond first," he told her. They both laughed, even though it took more energy than they could spare. Chad got up on his feet, feeling his legs wanting to give away. He reached down and grasped Shea's hand, pulling her to her feet. When she stood next to him, they held each other. They held each other for two reasons, the love that they felt in their hearts, and they couldn't stand alone without help. Outside the tent, Bolara and Leonia moved around the clearing. They wanted the best party the forest had ever seen. The centaurs helped with the head table where the guests of honor would sit. Satyrs' placed candles on the trees. Others chipped in to help gather firewood from the forests edge. Feather and Larry had returned with the alcohol for the evening. The Pegasus landed softly and galloped to the head table. When Bolara went up to thank the winged horse, it showed it's displeasure of having to carry such a heavy load. While Bolara calmed the animal, Larry and Feather dismounted. "Feather, I think perhaps next time you should warn him. He is not used to such a ride, and the provisions you have brought are quite large," she told her. "My apologies Majesty. I'll try to be more observant of others feelings," she said as she bowed in respect. "Your apologies should not be directed to me Feather. I do believe they need to be directed to our dear friend here," Bolara replied to her. Feather walked around to the front of the beautiful horse. "My friend, I am very sorry to have burdened you with such a heavy load. I hope you can forgive me," Feather said to the Pegasus. The winged creature looked at her as she dropped to one knee and bowed her head. The horse lowered his head and nudged her shoulder with its large nose. Feather looked up into the deep blue eyes of the horse and smiled. She wrapped her arms around his long neck and hugged him. "I think my dear friend forgives you Feather," Bolara told her. Suddenly the horse lifted his head, taking Feather with him. Larry walked over and patted the horse's neck. "Thanks big guy. That was a special thing you did for us," he said. Once the Pegasus had left, Larry got some help to move the rum containers out of the way. A small breeze picked up and Feather could smell lilacs, Bolara could smell them too. Suddenly everyone in the clearing looked up into the sky. It was still daylight, so it was an extremely strange site to behold. Shooting stars flew across the bright sky as if the heavens caught fire. For some of them the site was a bad sign, they had never seen such a sight. For a select few, it raised their hearts in joy. Chad and Feather stepped out of the tent on wobbly legs. Shea thought about what Chad had said, he was right on the money. They might need a trip to the healing pond before the party. The two lovers looked up into the sky with the others. The shooting stars were a magnificent sight. With his arm around his wife, Chad could never imagine a more peaceful place to grow old. As he starred at the sky, it came to him. His wife was old, very old in fact. "Um, I think there are some things we should discuss my love," Chad said as he looked into the sky. "What is it Chad? Did I do something wrong?" she said looking at him quickly. "No, it's just...I know how old you are Shea," Chad said. "I don't understand Chad. What does my real age have to do with anything? I still love you with all of my heart. I will never stop loving you," Shea told him. Chad knew he should let it drop for now. Even if he were to die before her from old age, he would never know a greater love than this...ever. "I know Shea, I know. It's just...I wanted you to know that I know your true age," Chad lied. Shea looked at her husband with loving eyes. She knew he was holding something back. Chad had something weighing heavy on his heart. Shea didn't want to push the subject, she was well aware of keeping the truth hidden. "I think I understand what you're trying to say..." Shea said, but was cut off "Shea, Chad, would you two please come here for a moment," Bolara told them. Both Bolara and Leonia watched at the two love birds walked over. They seemed to be a little unsteady on their feet. 'Must be a pretty good human to do that to my little girl,' Bolara thought. When they reached the small group, Bolara spread her arms out. "What do you think of the head table, my dear?" Bolara asked. "I think it looks lovely Mother. I see you still have that special touch, even after all these years," Shea told her, wrapping her arms around her mother. "I wish I could take all the credit but I did have a little help," she told her. "Oh I'm sorry. Leonia you did a fabulous job too. I can see where Feather gets her ideas of a party from," Shea said, releasing her mother and hugging Leonia. "Thank you dear. We're going to have such fun tonight," Leonia said. Feather walked up and tapped Shea on the shoulder. "And just what is that supposed to mean, Princess Shea?" Feather asked. "That means you're someone I love to party with. It's been a long time since I partied here, I think we should make it one to remember," Shea told her dearest friend. The others finished getting everything ready. With the party all set up, they just had to wait for it to begin. Chad could only watch as the group gathered things to make it better. Shea and her mother were inseparable. The sun went down over the treetops and it started to show. The satyrs that were around, grabbed torches and lit the bundles of firewood that laid about the clearing. Knowing the forest as he did now, if a party was planned then an orgy would soon follow. Chad thought about the human world and wondered if the commercial for Cialis had any meaning here. 'If you have an erection lasting more than four hours, seek medical attention.' The night air was cool to the skin as a soft breeze blew in for the North. A refreshing reminder of what the forest used to be, before Marrow. Fires along the clearings edge casting a soft, yet romantic glow upon the bright green grass. Chad looked upon the dancing figures, as satyrs played wind flutes. Their bright cheerful sound hung in the air like a musicians love song. The mermaids played and danced as the night began. Dressed in long elegant robes, they looked like something out of a fairy tale. Chad thought about that for a moment, a fairy tale ending to a fairy tale. How ironic he should find himself with his soul mate, in what most men, humans really, would consider a dream. He never really believed in a heaven or hell, it was just life and death. What lay beyond was something of mythical lore. Chad wondered if everything he ever knew was a lie. Something made up by humans' to explain the unknown, to explain what they knew nothing about. Bolara soft voice brought him out of his thoughts. "Are you enjoying the party so far Chad?" she asked as she touched his arm. "Yes I am Bolara. It seems you know how to put together a celebration. I would say you've out done yourself, but since I just met you, that would be out of sorts," Chad told her. "Thank you my dear boy. I'm happy I still have a little spark left in these old, tired bones of mine," Bolara told him as she pretended to fan herself. Chad laughed at her comment. Bolara appeared to be a woman of about fifty or so, but Chad knew this wasn't the case. The fact that these creatures lived long and healthy lives bothered him. Even though he smiled, he knew in his heart that Shea would have to watch, as he slowly got old, and then die. Princess Shea approached the head table. She had been dancing wildly with Feather and Xena. Reaching down to grab her cup, she took a long pull of the meaty drink. Shea gasped as the warm liquid slid down her throat. "Wow Leonia what did you mix this with; kerosene?" Shea asked her in a raspy voice. "Oh just the usual dear, rum, fruit, and secret herbs," Leonia told her. Bolara laughed, she knew what Leonia was putting in the drinks. She found out years ago when she was younger that if you mix ground Tulok root and human alcohol that the effects were magnificent, well that depends on your desired outcome. "Seems like everyone is enjoying your special blend Leonia," Chad told her. "You didn't have many complaints yourself, your majesty," Leonia replied. Before Chad could get himself in trouble, Bolara spoke up. "Chad I was wondering, would you be so kind as to talk me for a stroll among the group?" she asked. "My Queen, it would be a distinct honor to escort you," Chad told her as he extended his arm for her. They rose from the head table and went out to greet the forest creatures. At every stop, the smaller group would bow gracefully and talk to Bolara. Chad on the other hand played the good escort and stood silently beside her. Throughout the day, everyone thanked him and so on, so it was a welcome relief to be on the sidelines. Nugen's father played his flute all night. He felt tired from the constant playing and decided on one more song, a song for his son. Chad stood silently, listening to the numerous stories of how hard it's been. Life will change now and so on. He was happy that the creatures of this forest were now safe. They had endured such hardship at the hands of something evil. Suddenly Chad heard Cearul play his flute. Chad spun around when he heard the first six notes of the song. 'It's impossible! No one here can know that song,' Chad thought. As the melody went on, it changed to something Chad had never heard before. The forest creatures gathered around the satyr as the tune went on. Whether they held each other, or just knelt in the grass, everyone seemed captivated by the Celtic music he was playing. "Chad is there something wrong?" Bolara asked as she touched his arm. Chad starred at the small group listening to the music. "No Bolara. It's just for a moment I thought I recognized the song he was playing. It sounded an awful lot like a theme from a movie I saw," he told her in an off-handed way. "Oh I see. May I ask what a...movie is?" Bolara asked. "It's a story that show's up on a large; never mind, I'll explain it to you later," Chad said. "Oh, it's something you watch. Does this...movie...have a name, or are they all called movies?" Bolara asked. She seemed intrigued by the differences between their worlds. "Not really Bolara, they all have different names," Chad laughed at her. Bolara's curiosity was enlightening. "This particular movie was called Titanic. It's a story of love, death, destiny; that sort of thing," he told her. "I think a quite stroll by the lake would be refreshing," she said, breaking his train of thought. Chad extended his arm for the great Queen. He led her towards the waters edge and slowly walked down the shoreline. The water was like glass and reflected the moon's bright light. Chad could almost make out the stars that were shinning. Feather was right when she first told Chad of the Crystal of Physis. This vision of beauty would not exist if Marrow took possession of it. Bolara stopped and turned towards Chad. "Chad I think we should talk about something. I sense a bit of despair within your heart. Are you having second thoughts about being married to Shea?" Bolara asked. "Oh Bolara, no. I did have trouble believing in all of this at first, but no, I love Shea for who she is," he told her. "There is still something troubling you. One of the greatest gifts of the forest is we all help each other, if we can. My husband was half human, so I do know something about human feelings," Bolara told him. Chad looked into Bolara's eyes. She was truly a captivating woman. If anyone would understand then it would be her. "I'm not like everyone here. I will age normally, as a human. There will come a time when Shea will have to watch, as I get older and die, won't she," Chad said as he started to tear up. Bolara looked down, avoiding his gaze. She knew the healing pond would help him extend the inevitable, but in the end, she would have to watch him die. She could lie to him, tell him not to worry, but she couldn't do that to the man who saved her life. "Yes Chad. Shea will through what I went through. She will have to watch the one she gave her heart to, pass on," Bolara told him softly, still avoiding his eyes. Chad reached down and lifted Bolara's face. "Well then Bolara, I guess I'm just going to have to love her as much as I can; for as long as I can," Chad said, trying to ease her feelings as well as his own. "I wish there was something I could do to stop it from happening. I'm afraid even with the Crystal of Physis, I don't have that kind of power," she said. "I suggest we make the most of it then, starting right now. Let's get back to the party and see if we can, crank it up, a little more," Chad said as he wrapped his arm around his new mother and headed off to the celebration. Bolara looked up at Chad as they walked. "Chad, I have a question." "What is it Bolara?" "What does it mean...'crank it up'," Bolara asked. "I'll tell you later," Chad laughed. "You and I have to sit down later; I need to explain some human terminology." As they approached the gathering, Chad noticed Shea on top of a centaur. She had both her legs wrapped around his back as he trotted around the center of the group. He knew she didn't have panties on, so she must be enjoying the ride. Hell in this place it be a shocking discovery if anyone had panties. Just then, the centaur bucked. Shea almost fell off, and then laughed at the centaur. He trotted around again then bucked twice more. Shea laughed even harder. Chad looked over at the other centaurs who were watching. The too laughed at their friend, which made him buck even harder. This time Shea went flying off. She rolled on the grass, coming to stop on her shapely ass. "Did anyone keep count on how long I stayed on?" Shea asked looking at the crowd. "Not long enough Shea. You're really lousy at that game," Feather yelled at her. The crowd all laughed at her as she got up. Shea looked at everyone and laughed right along with them. Chad and Bolara walked up to Feather who was holding her side, laughing loudly. "What seems to be going on here?" Bolara asked. "Oh your majesty, you missed it. Shea here thought she'd show us a game from the human world. She said she could stay on a centaur for eight seconds. What a silly idea, I think she needs more time in the pond," Feather said as she took another drink. Shea walked over to her mother, as the centaur went over to his friends. She gave her mom a big hug and then wrapped her arms around her husband. "And just were did you run off too?" she asked him. "I was just taking a walk with your mom. She was bringing me up to speed on the forest," he told her, kissing her forehead. Leonia came up with a round of drinks for everyone. Bolara picked hers up and handed one to Chad. "Given what happened last time, I should be careful on how many of these I have," he said looking over at Leonia. "Why Chad, what a rude thing to say! I don't remember holding a gun to your head," Leonia replied with a little pout. "You couldn't; they don't work here," Chad said, laughing back at her. Bolara walked into the center of the gathered crowd. Her shear presence alone brought the group to a silence that split the night air. When she had everyone's attention, she turned to look at Larry, Feather, and Chad. "My dear friends please raise your drinks in a toast. The reason we are all here and happier than we have been in a long time, is the bravery of a small group of heroes," she said as she looked at the three of them. "Strangely enough is the human that gave of himself. He never believed our world existed, and yet, he went forward. Chad, from this time on, you will forever be one of us," she raised her cup in a toast. Everyone that had a drink followed her example. Shea squeezed her husband tightly. The love in her heart was too much to hold back as she cried against his chest. Bolara started walking back to them as Chad looked at her. For such a loving family, he'd do it all over again. Suddenly the center of the group where Bolara was standing started to glow. Chad moved Shea behind him. Whatever was happening, he was not going to lose his wife again. Bolara saw Chad's expression and turned to see the problem. The light was getting brighter. It soon reached an intensity that caused everyone to turn away. Chad shielded his eyes but remained facing the light. Just a suddenly as it started, it diminished to a soft glow. It surrounded the lovely women now standing in the center of the group. She was quite a vision, with long flowing dark hair and intense emerald green eyes. She wore a white gown that bundled on the ground beneath her. The shimmering trim appeared to be gold lace around her neckline and down her arms. Every creature within eyesight dropped down in reverence. Chad, being new, stood still and looked at the new arrival. He didn't care who she was, he was going to protect his wife. The stunning woman turned to look at the group of creatures gathered at the celebration. She smiled at everyone, then stopped as she met Chad's eyes. "Please my children arise," she told them. She walked over to Bolara, if you could call it that. As she moved, the gown didn't move with her legs. It didn't drag behind her, or flow with the movement of her body. It was as if she was hovering. 'Could ghosts live here too?' Chad thought. She stopped in front of Bolara, touching the side of her face lightly. "It is good to see you again Bolara," she told her. Bolara grasped her hand and kissed it. Chad realized this was someone with great importance for Bolara, the queen, to be so humble. He leaned towards Shea who had moved next to him. "I'm a little confused honey. Who, or what, is she?" he asked her. "Her name is Artemis. She is the..." Shea started to say but Chad cut her off. "Goddess of the Forest. She was the original owner of the Crystal of Physis. Leonia told me about her when Feather and I first started all this," he told her. Secrets of the Forest Nymph Ch. 06 Artemis glided up to Chad. She looked at Shea, who was visibly shaking, and extended her hand. Shea took the hand and kissed it. She was, after all, the one who ruled the forest long, long ago. After rising back up, she looked at the Goddess. "Artemis, it is great honor to meet you," Princess Shea told her. "And you as well little one. You protected my crystal from harm. Even though it has been difficult for you, you have been very brave," Artemis replied. Artemis looked at the three heroes that risked everything to save the forest. 'Such an unlikely group of warriors to take on such a battle,' she thought. She finally settled her eyes on Chad, the most unlikely to take on such a fight. "You brought the Crystal of Physis here human, even when Marrow was still here looking for it. Why would you do such a fooling thing?" she asked. "I'm sorry about that your..." he tried to say. "You know I don't know what to call you; Majesty, Goddess, Ghost..." Chad finished. "Since you are a human, you may call me Artemis. You have failed to answer my question Chad," she told him. "He took my wife from me. Human, or Forest Nymph, doesn't matter; she's still my wife. I needed an edge against him to get her back. If it's an apology you came here for, you might want to sit down, you might be awhile," he said, as he held his ground. The group let out a gasp at his boldness. He was addressing Artemis. Under no circumstances should you ever show disrespect, no matter what. Artemis took a moment to gather her thoughts, then smiled at his bravado. This is who Chad was. "Calm down my children. Chad was only being himself. I would expect nothing less of him," she said. Susan moved a little closer to Artemis. "If I may ask Goddess Artemis, why have you come to us after all these years? We thought that Zeus struck you down?" Shea asked. "My dear little one, there is so much for to learn yet. Death here is not the end but the beginning of a new journey, one that you too shall take some day. Among you is a person who will make the journey before the others." Artemis turned towards Chad. "Is this not correct Chad?" Artemis said. "I guess it's something I was meant to do. Bolara and I have talked, and I'm fine with what will happen. As long as Shea and the rest of the forest creatures are safe, that's all that matters," he told her. "I know that you will continue to protect my children, until your last breath if necessary. That is why I came back. I am breaking about twenty rules for us right now, but it must be done." Artemis looked over at Bolara and extended her hand. "Bolara, may I see the Crystal of Physis for a moment?" she asked. Bolara removed the Crystal of Physis from around her neck and handed it to her Goddess. Chad thought for a moment that she was going to put it on and leave. She only held it close to her breast. She looked lovingly at Chad, as if he was one of her children. "It is forbidden for me to interfere with the fate of the forest. It is up to those who live here to decide. That is why I left the crystal with Bolara's mother. She was the kindest being I had met; it was up to her. You on the other hand, are a human, that means you are a complex creature," she told him. "I don't think I'm that complex," Chad said under his breath. Shea elbowed Chad in the ribs for his lack of disrespect. Artemis softly laughed at his remark. The human had a quality unlike she had ever come across. "Sorry about that. Sometimes I get a little..." he started to say. Artemis held her hand up for Chad to be silent. "You have a great weight on your heart Chad. Something that you fear, even more than Marrow," she told him. Chad looked at his wife. "I'm sorry Shea; I know it was meant for me to pass before you. You and I are different in so many ways. No matter when it happens, I will love you until my last breath. I swear it," Chad told her. Shea held her husband tightly. There was no other world that would be livable, unless he was there with her. She had thought about this moment, how to tell him this would happen. To do that small thing, meant telling him her darkest secret, who she really was. "Princess Shea, please release your husband," Artemis said. Once Shea let go, she wiped her eyes of the tears. Artemis continued. "You and your friends risked everything to restore my forest. One of you gave the ultimate sacrifice. For this act alone, I shall give you all my blessing," she said. Artemis lowered her head and said something that no one could make out. Chad felt what the others did, a tingling through his body. The others were weeping, including Larry, for the small gift. Once she was done, Artemis looked up. "That small token of my appreciation was for all of you. Chad on the other hand requires something more. You have feared for sometime now that you shall die before Princess Shea. You are human, there is nothing I can do about that," she told him. "Artemis, I was glad that we all could help. I just hope it stays this way forever. I've never known a more loving place in all my life," Chad told her. "I know Chad, which is why you are to receive a special gift." Artemis placed her hand on Chad's chest. He was a little nervous at first, but then it got worse. Artemis held the crystal close to her chest and lowered her head once more. She spoke in a language that Chad couldn't understand. Part of him wanted to run away as fast as he could, the other told him to stand his ground. Chad began to feel his body heat up. It started as a fever but quickly spread throughout his body. 'Someone pull me away from this lady,' he thought. The heat intensified as she held her hand to his chest. Chad wanted to reach up and grab her hand, but he couldn't move. The heat become so much for him, he screamed out. The strange thing was, there was no sound. 'My God. This woman is trying to kill me and no one will stop it. What's wrong with all of you?' he thought. The heat soon diminished and Chad's breathing returned to normal. When he got the strength to move, he backed away from Artemis. "What, what did you..." he started to say. "I gave you a special gift Chad. I took away what fears you the most," Artemis said. Bolara walked up to Artemis and bowed gracefully. She looked at Chad as he grabbed his chest and gasping for air. "Forgive me Artemis, I'm confused somewhat," Bolara said. "My dear child. Why would you be confused on what has happened?" she asked. "You said you were not permitted to interfere with the fate of the forest," Bolara responded. "You are correct Bolara, I am not permitted. There is a human saying I want you to remember in times likes this. "What is that Artemis?" Bolara asked. "I don't give a flying fuck," she told her. "Artemis, what did you do to my husband?' Shea asked. She put her hand on Shea's shoulder. "I gave him the gift he needed. From now on, he will age as you age. If you take care of yourselves, you will both live to be a ripe old age of...well my dear, you get the idea," Artemis told her. Shea shook her head to clear the dizziness feeling. "I don't understand Artemis!" she said. "He was afraid of dying my dear Shea. He was afraid of getting old and loosing you. I fixed that, and I am sure I will get my share of grief for it," she told her. "Why would you give such a gift to him?" she asked. Artemis looked at the confused Forest Nymph. "For two reasons my dear. First, he risked his life for the creatures I care for. For no other reason than that, he deserved it," she told her. "For the second reason...you are pregnant. You knew it a few hours ago when you two made love in the tent." Artemis leaned in close and whispered to Shea. "Just between us, you might want to concentrate on a girl's name," Artemis added. With that, Artemis said farewell to the forest creatures. In a brilliant flash of light, she was gone. Everyone remained silent, not knowing what to do, or say for that matter. Shea was stunned at the news about being pregnant. 'What will happen now? Do we raise our child in the forest or the human world?' she thought. Bolara went to check on Chad. "Chad, are you going to be alright?" she asked. "I don't -- I don't know what to say. I feel fine now, but it felt like my whole body was on fire," Chad told her. Shea joined them, but she looked worried. "I think we have some things to talk about honey. Life for us has a whole new outlook," she told him. Chad gave her a confused look. Bolara decided to help them. "You two should go someplace quiet and discuss the gifts that you have received. I think its time to, how did you put Chad, crank it up a bit," Bolara told them. Just before they walked away, they heard someone speak up behind them. "Someone around here needs to hold up her deal," Malifin yelled. They all turned to see the once battered Wokulo. Feather and Shea ran up and grabbed the little fur ball. He really looked a lot better with his long fur all cleaned up. Behind them was the mermaid that stayed with Malifin and finished mending his wounds, it was Reanna. "He's all fixed up and ready to go. Sorry, I couldn't do anything about his demeanor," she told the group. Chad walked up and stood in front of the little hero. "So, I take it you still hate humans you little fur ball," he told him. Malifin smiled for the first time since they met. Suddenly he disappeared in an instant. Feather and Shea slumped to the ground as they lost their hold on him. Everyone was looking around, but saw nothing. Suddenly Chad went face first to the ground as Malifin reappeared behind him. "Damn it Malifin! You know I hate when you do that!" he screamed up at him. "I know you do human. That's why I enjoy doing it so much. I'll let you in on a secret, I hate all humans...except one," he told Chad as he extended his hand. Chad took the Wokulo hand as he pulled him up. Then Chad pulled him in, giving him a huge hug. Larry looked on as the group got reacquainted. He knew his new friend gave everything he had in that fight at the castle. In Larry's entire life he had never seen another creature battle as hard as he did, until then. "Nice to see you could make the party Malifin. What took you so long anyway? I mean, it was just a few hellhounds," Larry teased him. "It looks like that pond didn't do anything to fix your sense of humor Larry. Just to set the record straight, it was five hellhounds at one time. I didn't see you doing anything spectacular," Malifin said as he went up to shake his hand. Bolara moved in and peered down at the Wokulo. "It's a pleasure to finally see you out of the pond Malifin. I've been waiting all night to do this," she told him. Bolara leaned down and grabbed Malifin's head, kissing him on the lips. After a few moments she pulled back and looked into his eyes. "Thank you Malifin for saving our lives," she told him softly. "You're more than welcome your majesty. The others did just as much as I did. Well, maybe not Larry, but everyone else did," he said as he grinned at Larry. Feather went up to Malifin. "I'll keep my promise Malifin. It's time for you to go home to your family. Thank you for helping us," she said, then leaned down and kissed him. "I think a ride home in style is in order," Bolara said as she held her crystal. One of the Pegasus trotted over and nudged Bolara as she informed the winged animal of her wishes. Larry grabbed his little friend and helped him up. Just before he left, Leonia came up holding a mug of her special mixture and handed it to Malifin. "You should try some of this before you go Malifin," Leonia said. Malifin slammed the drink in one gulp. His face contorted and his body shook. "Christ lady, what did you cut this with...kerosene?" he told her. "Why does everyone keep saying that?" Leonia replied as she sniffed the empty cup. Everyone laughed as the winged horse leapt into the night sky, taking Malifin back to his family. Once they all calmed down Bolara addressed the group. "Now, if there are no objections, I think we should get this orgy, I mean party, cranked up," she told everyone. "Mother!" Shea said. "What do you expect Shea? I've had a few of Leonia's cocktails and I'm starting to get horny. Do you think you're the only one here that needs some fun? Remember, I was in there a lot longer than you dear, and I could use a 'good' screwing for a change," Bolara told her. Chad shook his head. He knew his original statement of one continuing orgy was correct. The healing pond had taken the pain of the ordeal away for Bolara and Shea. The night was going to be a long one as it seemed Bolara was going to make up for lost time. Chad took Shea's hand and led her to the tent. "Now that we have a new lease on life, I think we can skip the first round of sex. We have some things to work out between us I think," Chad told her. "I know my love. Important things like where we live, how bad the mess at home is, what we name our baby girl," Shea replied as she walked with him. "Shea, there is still one thing that worries me," Chad told his wife. "What is it?" she asked. "What happens when your mom comes to the human world for a visit?" Chad wondered. "I have a bigger worry dear. What happens if she brings Leonia and Feather with her?" Shea said as she tried not to laugh. If it could, life just got a little more complicated for the two lovers who just a year ago met on an Island, feel in love, got married, and became royalty. I do hope you enjoyed the story as much as I enjoyed writing it. As of this posting, this is all I have written but am open for suggestions. Maybe it would be fun to write an epilog of Secrets of Forest Nymph where they do all get together in the human world. Leonia hasn't been for some time and might be interesting in a time travel sort of way. I am humbled at the amount of support and comments that I have received during this story. The readers of the Nonhuman section are some of the best. Thank you all for your support and remember...enjoy the journey, you never know where it will take you. Secrets of the Forest Nymph "I'm sorry everyone, last hand of the shoe is coming out," Susan told them. She dealt the cards out to the players. Chad looked down and saw he was sitting with another twelve. Feather on the other hand pulled a King and an Ace. "21 for the lovely lady," Susan said. You could hear an audible groan as Feather looked at the others at the table. Chad knew it was going to be hard for them to stand up at closing. Susan started at the first player and slowly took everyone's cards, along with their money. She finally made her way around to Chad, who had an agitated look on his face. "Sorry about that Chad, it's not like I intend to do that," she said smiling at him. "Go ahead, double down Chad," Feather said. Susan was not making it any easier as she giggled to herself. Chad reached down and put another Fifty Dollar gold chip down. "What the hell, my luck has to change sometime," he said. Susan slowly pulled the card over to his spot. She looked at him, it seemed that her eyes were sparkling, and she had a sly smile on her face. Susan turned the card over to reveal the Nine of Hearts. "21, nice pull Chad. She leaned over the table and ran her wet tongue over her voluptuous upper lip. Well, looks like your lucks changing for the better," Susan, said with a wink. They turned up the house lights as Susan cleaned up the table. "So ladies, what would you like to do now?" Chad asked them. "Well, I'd like to just go home and catch up some more with Feather, that is if you wouldn't mind," Susan said. "That sounds like a wonderful idea to me but I took a cab here, so can I ride with you two?" Feather asked. "It would be my distinct honor to drive you two ladies anywhere you want," he said. "Oh Susan you're in big trouble. This one has manners, and he's got a nice body to go along with them," Feather said, kissing his cheek lightly. Chad drove home as the two women talked about the past. Chad was quickly realizing he didn't know as much about Susan as he thought he did, even though they had only met a year ago. "So Chad, can I ask you a question?" Feather asked. "By all means my lady, you may ask anything of me," he said in his best Knightly voice. "Oh, he's a cute one Susan. What I would like to know, Sir Knight is, do you love my friend?" Feather asked. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up, and he suddenly veered in his lane. After regaining control of the car, and his senses, "Yes, I love her with all my heart." "Well done Sir Knight. One other thing, nice recovery back there," she told him with a hint of teasing. Now may I ask the fair Maiden if she's an Elf?" Chad replied. Feather turned to her friend of many years and stared at her with an intent look. Still looking into Susan's eyes, now why would you ask that particular question Chad? "It's just that Susan and I were talking and..." "Don't worry Feather, I'll explain later," Susan said, cutting Chad off quickly. Once they arrived home, Chad opened both car doors and helped the women out. He was on an all out mission to use every charm he had. He dimmed the lights in the bar room and began to make drinks. Susan had her usual Salty Dog in a tall glass while Feather wanted a Tequila Sunrise. They both sat at the bar while Chad waited on them. "Here you are ladies, and please don't hesitate to let me know if there anything else I can do for you," Chad said. "Gee I'm not sure, Feather is there anything else he can do for us?" Susan asked. "Well now that you mention it, I can think of a few things. It's just depends on how much you're willing to share your husband," Feather said, laughing and giving her a big smile. "You remind me a lot of Susan. You have the same snappy comebacks that she does," he said to Feather. Chad sipped his beer, as he stroked Susan's hand. "I think that you'll find Feather is a lot like me. Let's just say we're cut from the same cloth," Susan said as she gave Feather a wink. The two women chatted while Chad put on some soft music. "You know Feather, you'll never believe what Chad said today," Susan said. Chad turned towards them at the mention of his name. "He told me that he doesn't believe in Elves," she told her friend. "What about Fairies or Nymphs?" Feather asked. Susan just shook her head slowly. Feather looked at Chad in utter disbelief. Her blue eyes were glowing through the dim lighting of the room. "Well if you don't believe in them, then why did you marry her?" Feather asked. Chad looked confused, "I married her because I fell in love with her. What do Fairy Tales have to do with it?" Chad replied. Feather turned to look at her friend. "Jesus Susan, you didn't tell him about...?" she asked softly, looking into Susan's eyes. "Well, it's not a subject you just throw out there for a conversation," Susan replied a little too loudly. "Tell me about what sweetheart? You're not married to someone else are you? Chad asked a little worried now. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you," Susan said, taking a long sip of her drink. "Your wife just happens to be a Forest Nymph," Feather said quickly. Chad remained silent at first; he just looked lovingly at his wife. "Well at least now I know where you get your libido from," Chad said, jokingly. "You see Feather, I told you he wouldn't believe me, so let's just drop it for now, please," Susan said as she touched Feather's arm. Chad laughed to himself as he got up and fixed them another round of drinks, when he returned he leaned over and kissed Susan softly on the lips. She kissed him back allowing her tongue to slide into his mouth. "Wow Susan, he looks like he can do that pretty good," Feather said. Susan leaned back, giving Chad a very mischievous look. "Feather, I would have to say that he is probably the best kisser ever," Susan told her friend. "Thank you Bright Eyes, I always aim to please," Chad said. Susan still had that playful look on her face, making Chad a little nervous. "Chad, why don't you give Feather a kiss, so she can find out for herself," Susan said. Chad stared at her as if she had lost her mind. "You want me to kiss your friend?" Chad asked. "Sure, I know how much you like it when I talk about that while you're fucking me," Susan said, seductively. Chad's mind was going crazy with the open admission of his fantasies. "I don't think I could just kiss your friend, while you watch," he replied nervously. "Well if you won't, then I will," Susan said as she leaned over towards Feather. "You have no idea what you're missing out on Chad," Feather whispered. Susan reached out, pulling Feather closer. They kissed each other with a passion that escaped Chad comprehension as he watched the scene in disbelief. It wasn't that his wife was kissing someone else, but that Susan was kissing another woman. "I've forgotten how good you taste Feather," Susan said as she stroked her face. Feather stood up slowly, walking around the end of the bar. Chad's mouth was open, his eyes glazed over. Feather reached out her hand, stroking his blood-engorged cock. "Looks like you enjoyed that little display handsome," she said seductively. Chad looked over to Susan with a worried look. She was looking at them both intently, smiling at husband. What caught his attention was Susan was rubbing her breast through her backless shirt. She was teasing the nipple as her fingers passed over it. With one hand still on his crotch, Feather reached up and turned his face towards her. "I guess it's your turn now big boy. I can't make you kiss me Chad, you have to do it of your own free will," she said softly. Chad lost the fight that was raging within him. He grabbed Feather and pulled her to him, kissing her deeply. Their tongues fought a fierce war with each other, as he slid his hands down to her shapely hips. He pulled her tighter against him, as he pushed his own hips forward. Feather moaned into his mouth approvingly as she moved her head to the left and right. Feather and Chad broke the kiss, gasping for air. "Oh my God Chad, you could make money with a mouth like that," she said. Susan was enjoying the steamy scene before her, and felt as if her body was on fire; she began to unbutton her backless shirt. Feather looked over at her friend. "Let me help you with that Susan," she said as she moved behind Susan. Susan laid her head back against the slender woman. She could feel her shirt opening, displaying her strapless bra. Chad watched in fascination as Feather began fondling his wife's covered breasts. Leaning down she placed her lips against Susan's mouth. Feather slid one hand inside Susan's bra, pinching her nipple lightly. Susan was now moaning softly into Feather's open mouth. Chad moved in front of Susan, pulling her shirt open the rest of the way. He pushed the material to the sides of her breasts as Feather pulled the cups of her bra down, exposing her flesh to the open air. Her nipples were hard and pointed, as Chad lowered his mouth to suck them. Feather was biting Susan's neck lightly as Chad molested her nipples with his tongue. "God, that feels so good my love," Susan moaned. "Keep sucking them Chad, keep sucking them and make my pussy wet," she pleaded. Feather started to whisper into Susan's ear as Chad continued his assault on her nipples. She looked down at Chad, pushing his mouth away from her rock hard nipples. "Feather and I are going up to the bedroom for a moment. Why don't you freshen up our drinks and wait for us in the living room," Susan said, stroking his hair. She could see the wanting look on his face. "Don't worry, we won't be but a few minutes my darling," she said reassuringly. The two women held hands as they climbed the stairs, disappearing from sight. Chad emptied the drinks into the sink and fixed them two fresh ones. He didn't seem to mind the break, it gave him some time to control his breathing and calm down. He went into the living room, placing the drinks on the coffee table he sat down on the couch and waited. The room was spacious with a large TV on one wall. He had one of those couch ensembles, that formed a half circle around the room. The coffee table in the middle was made of large piece of a fallen Oak tree. He got the idea for one from the beds that he saw in the hotel room on the island. Chad sat in the centerpiece of the sofa center, wondering if he should go upstairs to get them. It was about twenty minutes later when he heard them come down. Chad was disappointed when he saw Susan had her long white bathrobe on and Feather was wearing one of Susan's blue Satin robes. Susan carried a long wooden box that looked like Oak, engraved with strange designs along the top with a few clear crystals. "Well my love, you are about to get your wish, to have two beautiful women as your willing sex slaves," Susan said seductively. His disappointment quickly vanished. She set the box down on the coffee table and pulled a necklace from under her robe. Chad stared at it intently. He had been with her for over a year now and had never seen the box, or the necklace. The necklace was a simple one. It consisted of a black leather string with small blue beads that went up both side about six inches from the center. Dangling from the bottom was an incredibly clear crystal, cut on eight sides and about an inch long. Chad had never seen such clarity in a stone before. "Chad, I am going to ask you some questions, and I would like you to be honest with me," Feather said, breaking his thoughts about the stone. "This is all so strange but, yes I'll be honest with you Feather," he replied. "Do you trust your wife Chad, I mean really trust her?" she asked. "Yes, I trust her very much, even with my life" he replied. "Do you love her for who she is?" Feather asked. "Yes, I love her with all my heart. I'm sorry Feather, but where are you heading with this?" Chad was very confused now about not only the questions but, they way Feather asked them. Susan smiled at him, and inserted the crystal into a hole on the side of the wooden box. The lid popped open and she pulled out what appeared to be, a root of some kind. Susan placed it on a large shell that was also inside, and lit one end. Smoke began to rise from the burning wood. It had a sweet scent to it as it slowly danced around the room. Feather leaned down, kissing his lips softly. "Relax Chad, everything will be just fine. I want you to lay back and just relax. Would you like to see Susan play with my body?" Chad could only nod, as the sweet smell began to affect him. Feather moved over to Susan and stood in front of her. They kissed each other softly, as Susan placed her hands on Feathers shapely ass. While the two women kissed each other, Susan slowly lifting Feather's robe, reveling more of her shapely legs. Feather turned in Susan's arms, facing Chad with those sparkling eyes. The smoke must have been affecting him, Feather's eyes had change from a light shade of blue, to an almost dark cobalt blue. Susan was looking at him also over Feather's shoulder. "Would you like to see my friend's body?" Susan asked. Chad found it difficult to breathe; it was if the air had left the room. He slowly nodded his head in approval. Susan slowly pulled the sash apart, allowing the robe to fall open. The sweet smell, now even stronger, definitely had a strange effect. He felt light headed and thought it was either the smoke or, that most of his blood was now filling his straining cock. Susan opened the robe further, reveling Feather's naked body. Her breasts looked smaller than he originally thought, but very firm, her nipples hard and pointed. Her body was indeed slender, but that wasn't what captivated him. Her body was so tone that most of her muscles had the look of a body builder, but in a velvety sleek cut. Except for her long blond hair, she was completely smooth shaven as if she couldn't grow hair on her body. Only one word came to mind, exquisite. "I've learned that men like it when a woman is shaved. Do you enjoy looking at my body Chad?" Feather asked. "Yes, um yes, you're – stunning," he said, lazily. He felt as if he was drunk and the room was starting to tilt. "That smoke, Susan what's happen..." "Just relax my love, enjoy what's happening to you," Susan said from behind her friend. Chad's vision was becoming blurry as the effect of the sweet smell overtook him. The last thing he saw before drifting off were the two women walking towards him, smiling.
