Making peace with the Amazons.

It isn't until mid-afternoon when you and Cielina wake up after mating overnight. Although seeing the Amazon Queen's naked body is tantalizing to your senses, you reluctantly hold off on mating her again, so that you and Cielina can bathe, then dress properly. After all, the task of forging a peace treaty between her and her sisters-in-arms, you and your people, and that of Phebis, remain. As you dry off from your bath, and put on a fresh set of clothes, you watch as Cielina puts on her two-piece bikini, then walks over to her relatively tiny wardrobe, where she gets a cultural dress, and starts to put it on. For most Motanian people, they would hardly call Cielina's dress decent, especially for a queen. The dress is sleeveless, with the back fully exposed--save for the ties for her bikini top, and the ties of her dress at the back of her neck. The bottom half is essentially a pair of loincloths that goes all the way down to a spot above her ankles. She wraps a golden chain belt around her waist, then turns and walks over to the bed. She sits on the edge, her eyes meeting yours, as she retrieves her thigh-high boots, and starts to put them on.

"I hope the new Phebian king is as wise and compassionate as you are, Bryce." Cielina tells you, as she laces up the boots. "I do not want to **** him to ****, with my bare hands."

"I am positive he will work to maintain peace during the negotiations, as I will." You reply. "All of us have suffered enough, after the demons tried to take advantage of your raid."

"Do demons like that do that all the time?" Cielina asks you.

"In general," you tell her, "they do. It varies from one kind of demon to another, but they tend to like creating chaos everywhere."

"How can my sisters prepare for something like that?" She asks you.

"They are unpredictable, at best." You tell her. "The best way to prepare for a demon, is to train for fighting them. Light and water magic also tends to do the trick."

Cielina nods, as she finishes lacing up the boots. When she finishes, she stands up, and walks over to you. She then wraps her arms around your neck, and presses her lips to yours in a hard, deep kiss.

"Bryce," Cielina speaks softly to you, "were you not King of Itheria, I would've already taken you as my new lifemate, and bring you to my home island, where we could mate, and start a family. I could abdicate my own title, and give it to my younger sister, but she is too young. If...if you cannot wait until my sister is old enough to take the throne, so that I can join you in your court, then I understand."

"Why are you telling me this now, Cielina?" You ask her, speaking softly.

"I'm falling in love with you!" Cielina tells you. "I could kiss you all day, share the bed with you all night, and coat your hard, thick shaft with my cream. But we have business to take care of."

Cielina kisses you again, and gently breaks the embrace. She walks to the table, where the picks up her crown, and puts it on. She takes your crown afterwards, and walks back to you, where she puts it on your head, then kisses you. Now she turns and heads to the door, where she unlocks it, then opens it wide. You follow her, and close the door behind you, locking it, while she makes her way down the hall, to the throne room. You make your way down there, seeing how busy it is, with your delegation mingling with Cielina's own delegation. The Phebian King sits on the throne, watching everyone gather, then gets it all in order, so that the peace negotiations can begin.

You find the peace process to be painstakingly long, as it took plenty of testimony and evidence from your group of spies, to convince the Phebian king that Cielina and her Amazons would not resort to demonic arts to raid their capital, among other things. Of course, there was also the hard task of arranging how the Thessian Amazons would provide compensation for the loss of the Phebian soldiers, civilians, and traders. You subtly add in the need for rebuilding those said villages, and for further fortification of the Phebian capital. It isn't until well into the night, before you are able to coordinate satisfactory peace terms for everyone--details of the terms varying with whoever is the Phebian king. In either case, you are able to secure a relatively better trade arrangement with Phebis, and open a new trade route between your own port cities, and the Thessian Amazons' home island. You make sure the other two leaders sign the treaty, and imprint their ring signets onto the scrolls, before you do the same.

With the process finally over, you leave the throne room, and walk out into the foyer of the keep, so that you can inform your expeditionary **** of the news, and prepare for the return trip home. Along the way, Cielina crosses your path, escorted by some of her finest warriors and shamans. She commands them to stop, then walks over to you, and kisses your cheek.

"Thank you for all of your help, King Bryce." Cielina tells you. "My sisters are moving into a position a safe distance from your soldiers, so that you can safely give the news to your men, before we join them."

"As to you, Queen Cielina." You tell her.

With your remaining royal guards, and group of advisors, you head to where your expeditionary **** is camped. Nearby, is the rows of freshly dug graves, where the fallen Itherian soldiers were buried. It was a hard decision for you to make, but it is a good thing your father made it a must for each and every soldier to have a necklace, with a metallic tag to identify who they are. The tags of those fallen soldiers will be given to their respective families, when you bring them home. But for now, you make the announcement of the peace treaty being signed, then inform them that the Amazons will be joining them for the night.

"My dearly beloved, soldiers." You tell them. "The gods can always turn the course of events in any direction. Thanks to the intervention of the Netherealms, we did nae have to kill so many of these fine women. Now they will spend the night with any of you men who are unmarried, so that they may begin to replenish their number. Treat them with the utmost respect, and they will do the same to you."

You watch as Cielina brings her fellow Amazons to the camp, and it doesn't take long before they are sharing drinks, tales, songs, and dance with your men. Cielina herself joins you, taking one of your hands in her own, and watches alongside you, while she holds a bottle of island rum in the other hand. That is when one of her own soldiers come over, and salutes both of you, by bringing a closed fist over her heart.

"My queen, King of Itheria." She tells both of you. "The queen's tent has been set up, as the queen herself has requested."

"Well done, good sister." The queen tells the Amazon woman. "Go now, and enjoy yourself."

"By the goddess' will, my queen." She replies, then salutes again, before she walks off.

"Come, Bryce." Cielina tells you, as she guides you to the tent. "It is our turn now to enjoy ourselves, before we return to our respective homes."

She guides you to the big Amazon tent that has been set up. It makes you wonder how much animal hide was used to create such a large tent, but as you walk inside of it, you see that a campfire has already been set up in the center, with the smoke going through an opening at the top. At the far end, are the bedrolls and pillows, which is where she takes you. She sits down on the pillows, and lets you sit alongside her, before she pops open the bottle of rum, and downs some of it. You end up sharing it with her, by her request, and listen to some of her childhood tales, while you share some of yours. It brings out some good, much-needed laughter, as the music outside begins to die down--replaced by the sounds of men and women mating. Some have coupled together, while it's an orgy in other places.

"Bryce?" Cielina calls out to you.

"Aye, Cielina?" You reply.

"I can hear my sisters really having fun now." Cielina tells you. "I hope your men are behaving, and doing the same."

"I hope so," you tell her, "for everyone's sake."

"Good." She tells you, as she moves to straddle your lap, her eyes lit with a burning desire. "Now it's our turn, Bryce."

She kisses you hard and deep, quickly adding a burning passion to the kiss. You return that kiss, wrapping your arms around her, as she tightens her legs around your waist. After awhile, she breaks the kiss, and moves to stand up, pulling you up to your feet. She begins to undress you, helping her out by working the straps of your armor pieces. In a neat manner, she puts your armor pieces and weapons to the side, and then works to get you naked again. In turn, you undress her, being careful with the thin fabric of her dress, which could rip quite easily with enough ****. She points down to her boots, wanting you to unlace them for her. But then she brings a foot up, places it on your chest, and playfully shoves you to the bedrolls, laughing, as she moves to sit on top of your lap.

"I let you control the pace in the bed chamber the previous night, Bryce." Cielina tells you in a soft voice, that is filled with that burning desire. "Now I'm going to control the pace this night, as this is my particular environment. You may it very...enjoyable!"
