3 months ago (Mia flashback)

It’s been 3 months now since I’ve become an adventurer. 3 months since I’ve joined the Gryphon Knights. 3 months since I’ve last seen Darx. Goddess, I miss him so much. I miss his touch. I miss the sound of his voice. I even miss his scent. I never thought a long-distance relationship would be this difficult.

“Mmmh, the food you cooked for us is delicious, poopsikin.” I hear one of my female party members say.

“Only because you hunted such a delicious rabbit for us, cutie pie.” A male party member says.

Those are Craig and Leonora. Two fellow Gryphon Knights who have joined me on my current adventure.

Leonora is a bunny beastkind who grew up, got her awakening, and trained in the beastkind kingdom. She’s got dark brown hair, two really long bunny ears and is pretty good with her bow and arrow.

Craig instead is a human. Born and raised in a village, like me. He looks a bit too boyish for me though. But Leonora likes him and he is quite smitten with her. has to I guess he has a thing for her animal parts. You know, with him being a beast tamer and all that.

The both of them are very much in love with each other by the way, and they are disgustingly overt about it. Seriously! Craig is now using his fork to offer some food from his plate to Leonora. She eats it, then offers him some from her plate. They are literally feeding each other and giggling about it. I have someone I want to feed as well, dammit! But I can’t! He’s not here! God, I’m so envious about those two it makes me sick.

“You two make me sick.” Another female party member of mine tells the two lovebirds.

That’s Merlara. She’s a spellsword, like me. Unlike me however, she is a half elf. One with long blond hair and golden eyes. I would have expected a half elf like her to have pointy ears, but no. Her ears are round like a human’s. Guess her elven heritage is all in her eye color.

The biggest difference between Merlara and me is her magic element, darkness. She says she is a C rank, but I have my doubts about that. See, the armor she wears would be too heavy for me. If I were to fight in that, I would be exhausted after every battle. Merlara instead wears that armor without getting tired. It leads me to believe she might be a B rank pretending to be a C. What a weirdo. Who hides her real rank like that?

Another weird thing about Merlara is that she tends to wear a helmet wherever she goes. At first, I thought it was because her face was all scarred and she was hiding how ugly she was. Then one day, when we were doing a multiple day adventure outside the city, we had a meal like this one. That’s when she had to take off her helmet to eat. She had no scars. She was actually very pretty. I didn’t understand why she would hide such a pretty face, so I asked. According to Merlara, it’s because if she doesn’t, the men won’t leave her alone.

Tss, arrogant bitch. Thinking she is so pretty that guys come flocking around her like she’s the sweetest jar of honey. I remember another girl like that. She was a bitch too.

Our knight takes a plate of food to Merlara, offers her some food in the same way Craig is doing for Leonora and say, “Hey, Merla. Say aaa.”

Merlara sighs. “Sure, let’s behave exactly like those two that make me feel sick. It’s definitely gona help me keep my food down.” She says sarcastically, taking both the plate and the fork from him.

“Still playing hard to get, I see.” The knight says.

That was Roland. The knight of our group. Poor guy. He’s totally got the hots for Merlara, but she has no eyes for him. No, this doesn’t mean she is proven right for needing to hide her face. Craig has seen her face too and only has eyes for Leonora.

Yet Roland trying to get Merlara’s attention but getting shot down reminds me of Darx. He too kept spending time with Amelia without ever getting any. Ugh, now I’m thinking of Darx again.

Sitting by herself is our cleric, Mimizu. She’s the only one of us who is not with the Gryphon Knights like us, but with the Kedamono’s Brigade instead. A guild which accepts only beastkind members. Originally, we would have taken a cleric from our own guild to fill out our party, but there simply aren’t enough clerics among the Gryphon Knights. That is why we had to ask clerics from other guilds to join us. Fortunately, Leonora found a mouse beastkind in the Kedamono’s Brigade who didn’t have a party. And that is how we had this green haired cleric joining up with us. I haven’t seen her in action yet, so I can’t make any judgment on her. But her kind personality has me leaning in the direction of her being alright.

Leonora then noticed some food on Craig’s mouth and leaned over to lick it off him. Which he of course took as an opportunity to kiss her and she accepted that kiss with all of the obligatory giggles.

I swear, sometimes I feel like kicking those two off our team just so I could have an easier time being separated from Darx. Every time they act so in love, they make me wish that Darx was here. Then I too would feed him and lick the food off his mouth. Instead, all I have is these two lovebirds inspiring me to all kinds of acts that I can’t engage in. I better finish eating and head to my tent as quickly as possible before their ‘bunny love’ makes me feel even worse.

As I’m about to crawl into my tent I hear Craig say, “Let’s start tonight’s watch. What do you say, cutie pie?”

“Great idea, Craig-kun. I’d love to.” Leonora replies.

“Ah hell no!” Merlara immediately objects. “If it’s you two spending watch together, the only thing you will end up watching is each other. First watch will be me and Leonora.”

In her defense, at least Merlara is not letting us screw around. Well, not when we aren’t supposed to.

“Poopsie-kun, I’m going to miss you so muuuuuch.” Leonora mewls.

“I’ll miss you too, cutie-chan.” Craig replies. Then he hugs her and they start kissing in front of everybody.

I gag and crawl into my tent. Though as soon as I am out of everybody’s view, I try to imagine myself in Leonora’s position with Darx’s arms around me.

“Oh yes, poopsie.” I whisper, imagining that Darx-kun is kissing me in the same way Leonora got kissed.

I then take off my armor until I’ve got only my underwear and lie into my cot. I try to sleep, but Craig and Leonora’s antics have made me feel needy. God dammit.

I slide my hand between my legs and start touching myself. I imagine Darx is already an adventurer. A crusader, just like me. He has joined the Grypon Knights and is with us on this quest. Now we are sharing this tent and this cot and he is calling me cutie pie.

When I feel my panties getting wet, I slide my hand into my underwear and push two fingers into my pussy. I pretend that they are Darx’s dick and … No, Darx’s dick is not small like that. It is longer and can touch me far deeper than my fingers can. He’s also thicker and stretches me more than my two fingers. Oh, how I wish for him to give me a proper stretching.

I lie on my back and spread my legs while I continue to finger myself. My other hand goes for my breasts and I start groping myself.

“Yes, Darx. Fuck me. It’s been so long. I need you so bad. Fuck me like you’ve been holding it in for months, Darxie.” I whisper.

When I get close to orgasm I whisper, “I’m cumming, Darx. Cum with me. Cum inside me, poopsikin. Let’s make a baby. Let’s do it. Put your baby inside me.”

When I cum, I imagine Darx pumping his sperm deep into my pussy. “Oh, yes Darx. Fill me with your cream.”

After my orgasm, I imagine his sperm fertilizing my egg. Then I push out my belly and pretend I am already pregnant.

“One day, Darx.” I whisper as I am caressing my belly. “One day I will have your babies. And they will all have red eyes just like you.”

This time when I try to sleep, it goes much easier. Though I must say, the orgasms Darx gave me with his dick are way better than those I give to myself with my fingers. And after masturbating, when the afterglow fades, I am reminded that I am alone in this cot. Darx is nowhere near here. He is days away instead. Far from me and I am all by myself. It makes me feel so lonely.

Sometime later Roland wakes me up. Seems like not only Leonora and Merlara’s watch, but also Craig and Roland’s watch it over. Time for me and Mimizu to take watch.

I put on my armor and get out into the night. I say “Hi” to Mimizu and then we make our rounds while Roland and Craig get some rest.

The reason we are out here is to protect a trade route. Apparently, several travelers have discovered abandoned carts along this road. There are no bodies around it. Neither people or beasts of burden. The assumption is that there are monsters close to this road and they regularly attack travelers to drag them and their horses back to their lair and eat them. When Merlara saw this quest on the board, she said it should be easy money. Especially for a group like ours.

In order to make our quest easier, Merlara decided to have us travel with a small merchant caravan. She found one that traveled the same road and showed them the quest. The caravan leader quickly became afraid and agreed to let us join. But Merlara managed to first have him promise us not to charge us for the trip there, or the return trip, and we also don’t have to pay for the food.

All of the merchants are now asleep. Merlara and Leonora are too. Roland and Craig are drifting into sleep. It’s just me and Mimizu now. Our mission for the next couple of hours is to stay awake, keep the campfire burning and keep our eyes open for intruders.

During my watch, my thoughts drift back to when I first joined my guild. I didn’t find my current team right after joining the Gryphon Knights. First there were these two guys who asked me to join their party. I thought it would be fun, just the three of us. And it was fun. They were friendly, both gave me some good advice, we did a few quests together. But then they tried to seduce me. Both of them. Apparently, they had made a bet with each other to see which of them could get me on his dick first. As soon as I found out about that bet, both of them lost, because I left their party. After all, I have a boyfriend I have to be faithful to.

After them, I partied up with 3 girls from my guild. I figured that if there were no guys, nobody would try to make me cheat on Darx. Well, in that regard I was right. But when it came to splitting our earnings, they tried to stiff me. Since we were 4, I figured I’d get a 1/4th of the quest reward. You know, an equal split. Instead, they said that since I was new, they should get extra pay for babysitting me and wanted to give me only a 1/6th of the money. I quickly left them too.

Then is when I saw Merlara and Leonora at the quest board. I overheard them talking about a quest they wanted to do, but they were one person short. Since I was in search for a party, and they in search for a person, I introduced myself. It worked out pretty well. Nobody tried to sleep with me. They didn’t try to stiff me out of my earnings. So, I’ve been with their group ever since. I may complain about Craig and Leonora, or have issues with Merlara, but in the end, they’re not so bad.

After a few hours, the merchants start waking up and begin preparing our meals. So far, we’ve had nothing to do on our trip, so last evening, Leonora hunted some small game to chase away her boredom. We already ate some of that last night. This morning we’ll be eating the rest.

After breakfast, and some more lovestruck banter between Craig and Leonora, we get onto the carts and continue our journey. Merlara, Craig and Leonora are riding on the lead cart. Roland, Mimizu and myself are on the last one. So starts another day of nothing but sitting on a cart until the sun goes down.
