The Morning of the Giant Journey

THE NEXT MORNING:

After having to deal with an incredibly horny Kyuala and a very game Tally, John wakes up and is somehow well rested after being ridden like a mechanical bull at a bachelorette party in Ibiza.

As he sits up in the bed, a large green hand quickly presses against his chest. "And where do you think you're going?" A very groggy Kyuala asks.

"Uhh... the bathroom?"

Kyuala hums for the briefest of seconds before saying, "No, you're not." She then grabs John and pulls him closer to her, becoming the big green spoon to his little spoon.

"Kyuala... I wasn't going to the bathroom just for a change of scenery. I actually need to take a whiz."

"You can hold it until I'm ready to get up." Kyuala murmurs as she reaffirms her grip around his waist.

John is immediately terrified at that thought as he knows fine well just how long it takes Kyuala to get up from a comfortable bed. He quickly begins to devise a plan, thinking about how best to distract her long enough to escape her grasp.

The eureka moment comes to John soon after he begins to think, and gets ready to put his plan into action.

John then starts to turn around, still trapped within Kyuala's arms. The orc just murmurs in her tired state as she feels John shuffling around. John then finally gets face-to-face with Kyuala and plants a kiss on her lips.

Kyuala begins to chuckle before quickly reciprocating in the kiss. The lips lock and tongues soon begin to wrestle. Quickly, as the lovers begin to moan into the others mouth, but Kyuala more so. John then takes the opportunity and starts to shift himself to get on top of Kyuala which she happily accepts as the kiss gets more and more passionate.

As the intensified kiss continues on for a few more seconds, John begins to snake his hands up Kyuala's sides before bringing them up and resting them on Kyuala's firm breasts, earning a mewl from the green gal. Eventually, John slightly shifts his weight once more, leaning towards the edge of the bed, and again, Kyuala is none the wiser. John then begins to gently squeeze Kyuala's breasts, giving him a chance to escape her mouth and begin to tease her with kisses on her neck. Kyuala then leans her head back into the pillow in a moment of ecstasy, moaning in bliss at the kisses on her weak spot. Eventually, Kyuala brings her head up, looking John in the eyes and says, "Please... take me~."

John places a gentle yet brief kiss onto Kyuala's quivering lips. He then looks at Kyuala right in her eyes, and in a voice just above a whisper, he says, "Not right now."

John then immediately hops off Kyuala and walks towards the door leading to the bathroom. He then quickly looks back and sees a shocked, confused, angry, but more importantly, a horny Kyuala just looking back at him. "What? I told you I needed a whiz."

John then walks into the bathroom. Kyuala can do nothing but grin as she knows that she's gonna get John back tenfold for this little act of his.

As Kyuala looks at the space where John was just standing a few seconds prior, she hears a small shifting outside the room door. She then whips her gaze around, seeing that the door is slightly cracked. However, Kyuala was sure that she closed it fully so that the others wouldn't hear any morning shenanigans her and John might've had.

Kyuala then decides to get up and close the door. As she walks across the carpeted floor, her steps silent as her bare feet meet fluffy carpet. Kyuala then gets to the door, and just as she goes to close it, she begins hears heavy breathing just beyond it. Kyuala's natural protective instincts kick in, and she quickly nudges the door open enough for her to reach out and grab whoever is behind it. Not a second later, she pulls the figure into the room and pushes them against the wall before closing the door.

A quiet yet panicked voice escapes from the much smaller figure. "Wait, wait, wait! Please, don't hurt me!"

Kyuala then looks at the person and sees it's none other than Naura, one of the annoying sisters in Kyuala's mind. "What the hell were you doing outside our door?!" Kyuala firmly asks, but keeps quiet enough so that John doesn't hear her.

"Uhh... I... uhh..." Naura stutters as she looks at the stark naked orc in front of her.

Kyuala looks Naura up and down before quickly putting two and two together. "Ooh, I see. You were hoping to catch some action, is that it? Actually no... you were hoping to catch him in action, weren't you?"

Naura immediately begins to blush. "N-n-no! I was just passing by, and the door was open, so I-"

"Don't insult me, runt." Kyuala says, interrupting Naura. "I might not be your ideal version of a woman, but I do happen to know what that moist patch at the crotch of your pyjamas means."

Naura quickly looks down and her blush deepens to the point where she looks like the Pink Panthers twin, minus the whiskers.

Just then, John calls out. "Hey, Kyuala! I'm gonna run a bath, you wanna join me?!"

Kyuala then looks Naura in the eyes with an annoyed expression, but keeps a happy tone as she responds, "Of course, beloved! I'll be in shortly! This bed is just too comfortable to leave right now!" Kyuala then leans down to Naura. "Listen to me. I can handle you watching him from afar, but trying to spy on us while we're being intimate is crossing the line. I cannot allow you to just get away with this."

Naura is terrified as the orc slowly bears down on her. Luckily for her, John begins to walk back toward the bedroom, and Kyuala panics. So, instead of throwing Naura out of the room, she quickly pushed her into the closet and closes the door just before John walks in.

"Hey, are the fresh towels in here? I think the maids forgot to put them in there."

"Oh, yeah. I was in there when they came in. I think they put them in the basket here." Kyuala then checks the basket at the bottom of the bed and grabs the towels. She then hands the towels over to John. Just before John can take said towels, Kyuala grabs his arm and throws him to the bed.

"Uhh, Kyua- MMPH!" John is immediately cut off as Kyuala shoves her tongue into his mouth, but he soon reciprocates. She then pins him down to the bed and straddles him, completely trapping him underneath her.

About thirty or so seconds after Kyuala began the intense kiss, she pulls away, but she remains just a few inches from John's face.

John is taken aback as all the leverage that he gained earlier is now completely gone. As he stares up at the hungry eyes of Kyuala, he says, "So, the bath is gonna have to wait, huh?"

"Oooooh, you don't know how right you are." Kyuala responds.

Kyuala immediately goes back in for another kiss, and John just goes along with the flow once again. Quickly, his length begins to harden, and soon after, it begins to rub against Kyuala's pussy.

Kyuala immediately begins to grind against her beloved's cock with her beginning to moan louder and louder into John's mouth.

A minute or two after the grinding starts, Kyuala has had enough of the teasing, and so she wraps her right hand around his cock. "Remember all that bravado you had after teasing me just a few minutes ago? I wonder what happened." John goes to respond, but Kyuala puts her left hand over his mouth. "That wasn't a cue for you to respond."

Kyuala, keeping her hand over John's mouth, begins to slowly sink down onto John's girth as she bites her bottom lip whilst some pleased whimpers just escape from her mouth. Those whimpers quickly escalate to a gasping moan as she takes the full length of John's pleasure sword.

As Kyuala takes a breath, she looks towards the closet and sees Naura peeking through the door that she carefully cracked open. A grin then appears on Kyuala's face as she realizes that she's become a hypocrite. She didn't want Naura to spy on them at first, but now...

She wants Naura to see what she will never have.

Kyuala then begins to ride John's shaft, and both of them can't help but moan in pleasure as Kyuala rides like a jockey trying to win at the Grand National.

Meanwhile, Naura is just watching on in sheer awe as she sees John's entire length just disappear within Kyuala again and again. Kyuala's green skin contrasting with her bright pink just taking in every single inch of John's human love meat is a sight that Naura will forever have etched into her mind. She sees Kyuala's juices begin to run down John's cock, causing it to glisten in the early morning light. In Naura's eyes, the sight is just heavenly.

Naura's eyes then begin to travel down before focusing on John's balls. As Naura stares at them, she can't help but feel a little hypnotized, in fact, it's taking all of her strength to not creep out of the closet she currently resides in, so she can take them into her mouth and worship the man's love mounds. Naura's tongue absent-mindedly hangs from her mouth as her hand creeps down, snaking into her panties before her two fingers find their way inside Naura's now soaked pleasure taco.

Soon, those fingers disappear knuckle deep within Naura and silent gasps leave her mouth as she watches the couple go at it.

The pace has rapidly picked up on the bed as the slapping of colliding skin can be heard. Kyuala bounces up and down, moaning wildly as John's cock plunges in further with every bounce. The sounds of John and Kyuala's grunting moans are becoming so loud, even the maids walking in the hallway can hear the duo going at it.

Kyuala grabs John's hands, bringing them from her waist up to her breasts. John then starts using his thumbs to play with Kyuala's nipples, and he knows that his teasing is working as Kyuala looks at him with eyes akin to a lioness staring at an unknowing gazelle. Kyuala then leans down, latching her hungry lips onto John's as the intense spit-swapping commences.

As the kissing begins, the duo feel their collective orgasms beginning to build. John knows that he won't last much longer, and Kyuala is hoping that she cums at the same time as John.

Back in the closet, Naura has her free hand against the side, supporting her weakening knees as her own orgasm is swiftly approaching. However, the problem with that is Naura knows for a fact that she won't be able to remain quiet as she usually has to bite into her pillow when she "indulges" herself.

Balls churn, legs shake and juices coat a hand as the couple and the voyeur reach their collective peaks.

John and Kyuala's kiss deepens even more as Kyuala feels John's load filling her up while John feels Kyuala's pussy start to spasm on his cock as her cream coats his shaft.

Naura on the other hand, is literally biting her free arm as her knees buckle. She manages to quietly kneel down, making sure to not arouse any suspicion from John as her own juices have practically ruined her pyjama bottoms.

As she takes some quiet breaths, an idea pops into her still horny mind. Naura then brings her juice coated fingers up to her mouth and begins to suck on them, tasting the fruits of her horny labour.

She can't quite describe the taste that is now in her mouth. It's a combination of a decently sweet taste, but the taboo to taste the womanly juices from herself intensifies the taste tenfold. Naura had heard many a man talk about the sweet nectar of an elf, but never expected to taste it, let alone her own.

After the duo's orgasms subside, they finally break from the kiss and Kyuala lifts herself off of John's cock before lying next to him.

"Wow... seems like all that teasing was worth it, huh?" John jokes with some breathy chuckles following.

"That it was." Kyuala simply responds, just basking in ecstasy after the intense orgasm that shook her entire body.

As the couple remain in the bed, recovering from their quick yet exhausting bed acrobatics, Kyuala's eyes open wide as she remembers that Naura is currently in the closet, and not in the way she'd prefer.

Kyuala then quickly comes up with a plan. "Hey, why don't you go run that bath now? We should definitely get clean after that."

"You know for a fact that we always get out of the bath dirtier than when we went in." John responds before planting a kiss onto Kyuala's lips. He then hops off of the bed, quickly spanking Kyuala before walking into the bathroom.

Kyuala doesn't wait for a second before getting off the bed and rushes to the door of the closet. Kyuala quickly opens it up and is shocked to see Naura on the floor, eyes practically in the back of her head with her pajama bottoms coated in the elf's juices.

"Hey, you need to go now!" Kyuala sternly whispers to Naura.

Naura tries to get up, but her legs wobble underneath her. Kyuala just sighs before grabbing Naura and pulls her to her feet.

"I'm going to need your help getting back to my room. My legs aren't really working right now." Naura says.

Kyuala grunts in quiet anger, but realizes that she doesn't have much choice. She then picks Naura up in a bridal carry position before getting to the room door and opens it up.

Kyuala rushes into the hallway, hoping to avoid anyone seeing them, but just as they are a few steps away from Naura's room...

Amilia steps around the corner.

Kyuala and Amilia both stop in their tracks. Naura's face immediately flushes with the most embarrassment she's ever felt. Kyuala is feeling the same, but also has an overwhelming feeling of panic on her face. Amilia's reaction on the other hand is very muted.

As the trio stand there, Amilia finally breaks the silence by asking, "You didn't cheat on John, did you?"

"What? No! It's just..." Kyuala tries to explain, but Amilia puts her hand up.

"Whatever, it's none of my business, as long as you didn't screw around on him." Amilia says with a very dull tone, and defeated tone. She then goes to walk past the two, but before she does, she says, "You should hurry up by the way. The maids are gonna come by soon, and not only are your money makers out, but you're starting to leak."

Kyuala then panics again as Amilia walks off towards her room. Kyuala takes off at a break neck pace, rushing Naura to her room before chucking her onto the bed and races back to her and John's room.

As soon as Kyuala closes the room door behind her, she quickly looks down and sees that Amilia lied to her. She breathes a sigh of relief, but makes plans to slap Amilia upside the head. However, as her thoughts are on Amilia, she remembers Amilia's tone was incredibly deflated compared to her usual voice. Kyuala knows for a fact that something is incredibly wrong because Amilia would absolutely revel in torturing Kyuala if she ever caught her in a situation like that.

"What could have happened though?" Kyuala wonders. She tries to think back on the night, but nothing really stands out to her. Kyuala also immediately rules out hangover because she knows all too well how Amilia handles hangovers, and that certainly wasn't it. "It must've been after John and I went to bed, but what could it be? Maybe she struck out with one of the sisters? No, Amilia doesn't really care about striking out when it comes to a one night stand."

Her thought process is quickly disturbed as she hears the water for the bath stop running. Kyuala then makes her way into the bathroom, making a mental note to question Amilia about it later.

LATER THAT DAY:

In the early afternoon hours of the day, everyone has descended from their rooms to have some breakfast.

Most of the sisters are reeling from the overabundance of drinking that they indulged in last night. Holvaeth and Myssera just lovingly poke fun at their children for their inability to deal with the consequences of their drinking.

The group are also dealing with some consequences, but not just because of the alcohol. Terra is feeling quite rough with her throat feeling like an old carpet. Virra is probably feeling a hundred times worse. If Terra's throat was an old carpet, Virra's was a gravel road on fire. Lani is probably the only one who didn't get drunk, opting to not be on the brink of absolute vomiting for the day, especially if they're meant to be beginning their journey today. John is also doing well, he hadn't actually drank that much either for somewhat of the same reason as Lani. He also didn't get much chance to drink more as Kyuala literally picked him up from his chair and took him to their bedroom.

Kyuala is also doing pretty well physically, being able to handle her drink like a whale taking in water. However, after the events from earlier, she is mentally worried.

Kyuala quickly glances up the table at Naura, and sees that the elf was looking at her. Naura then whips her gaze away, trying to avoid getting caught, but it was just too late. Kyuala sees that Naura's expression is one of panic and embarrassment, but it's not so obvious as to arouse suspicion from the others. Kyuala then thinks about the other part of that early morning equation also known as Amilia.

Kyuala then looks down the table at Amilia and sees something shocking. Amilia's plate still has food on it. Now, usually that wouldn't be too much of an issue for someone suffering from a hangover, but Amilia wasn't showing her usual signs of being hungover. Also, even if she was hungover, Amilia would be devouring every morsel of food that she could get her hands on, as is Amilia's way to deal with a hangover. However, not only was Amilia barely eating, but she looked like someone kicked her puppy. Kyuala can't even remember the last time she ever saw Amilia like this. Actually, Kyuala can't ever remember seeing Amilia acting like this.

Kyuala has also noticed one thing since sitting down. Amilia has somewhat been avoiding Terra. Usually those two are like peas in a pod, sitting beside one another every time they've sat at this table, but Amilia decided to sit a few chairs away from Terra hasn't even glanced in her direction once the entire time since they all sat down.

Kyuala remembers seeing the confusion on Terra's face when she saw Amilia taking a seat a couple away from the one that Terra saved for her. However, Terra seemed to brush it off. Kyuala then chalks it up to Terra most likely thinking that Amilia just needed space due to being hungover, which is the reasonable explanation...

Or did something happen between Terra and Amilia?

"No, it couldn't be. If something really did happen between them, Terra would probably be acting somewhat like Amilia is right about now. Unless... maybe something did happen between the two, but only Amilia remembers? Or maybe it was just something simple like Amilia puked on her? Honestly, that's probably it. I mean, I know Amilia doesn't have much shame, but if there's one thing that Amilia does feels bad about, it's puking on people... at least those who didn't deserve it. I can't even recall how many times she apologized to me about puking on me the first time she tried to go drink for drink with me."

"Hey, you alright?" John asks, bringing Kyuala out of her internal pondering.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Kyuala quickly responds, giving him a quick smile. She then become curious. "Beloved, have you noticed anything off about Amilia today?"

John thinks for a few moments before replying. "Not really. To be honest, I'd be more worried if Amilia wasn't acting weird."

Kyuala chuckles. "I suppose you're right. It's just... she doesn't seem like her usual self, and I'm concerned."

"Then why not just ask her? You're her best friend after all." John suggests.

It was a simple suggestion, but the most effective. Kyuala could do all the speculation that she likes, but she couldn't get the answer she seeks without just going straight to the source.

Kyuala then gets ready to move down a few chairs, but just before she moves, Holvaeth begins to speak. "If I could have everyone's attention, please. Today, Kyarl Knagstun will be coming here, and I shall be disclosing the death of Nartho to him. When he arrives, I want you all to stay in your rooms, or at least, away from this room and the front entrance. I don't want any of you to be in his line of sight should he become volatile. That includes you as well, dear." Holvaeth looks at Myssera before taking her hand and gently squeezing it. "Terra, I also want you and your friends to avoid being anywhere close by. If I know Kyarl, he shall immediately place the blame onto you and the others."

"Father, I can handle Kyarl Knagstun." Terra comments.

"That may be, but I'm not asking because I doubt your ability to handle his volatility. I'm asking because it will be easier to manage his anger and quicker to get him out of here without your presence."

Terra doesn't even bother argue as her father is correct in this situation. "Fine. We'll be busy making our preparations to leave anyway, so we shall remain scarce until it's our time to depart."

"Thank you. Your transportation shall be here after Kyarl has left, or should have at least. So, we will get together before you all embark on the journey to Hynesgar."

"There isn't need for any transport." Virra says. "I shall be going with them."

The entire table is stunned with multiple voices quickly giving their opinion. Myssera's voice manages to quell all the others as the matriarch asks, "Virra, are you sure you want to go? The reason we asked Terra and her friends is because they have experience with this sort of thing, and even then, we were hesitant to do so at first."

"Mother, she already ran off to help them with finding Terra in the first place. I'm surprised you didn't already expect this." Apollita comments.

"And that was frightening enough to think about, but to have two of my darlings on such a perilous journey... I'm just worried that something may happen."

"Mother-" Virra starts, but is interrupted by Holvaeth.

"Just because your mother and I are worried about you, doesn't mean we doubt your abilities, dear. You would feel the same if it were your daughters in this situation. However, we know that you are incredibly headstrong, and that attempting to disallow you from going with the group just means that you would sneak away anyhow. So, we give you our blessing as we know that you all will do whatever it takes to keep each other safe."

Virra smiles at her fathers words. "Thank you."

As the table talks about the groups impending journey, Synda decides now is probably the best time. "Father, Mother, I will also be going."

The table is shocked. The looks on Holvaeth and Myssera's face say it all. Sydna sees those expressions and immediately begins to explain. "I won't be going on the whole journey with them. I'm not an adventurer after all. No, I will simply be catching a ride back to Nillork. I believe it's time I head back to my estate and get back to my wife."

The entire table takes a collective sigh of relief, especially Holvaeth and Myssera. The father simply laughs upon hearing the explanation before saying, "Well, I can't say that I'm ever happy to see one of my daughters leave, but I understand the perils of being away from your betrothed."

Synda smiles, happy to hear that her father understands.
Myssera then adds, "Kova shall also be going along to Nillork with all of you."

Sydna's smile immediately drops from her face, as does her twin's as both immediately respond, "WHAT?!"

"Mother, this is-" Kova starts, but doesn't get far as Myssera quickly interrupts.

"You say that word so often, but you seem to forget what it means. I am your mother, and as such, so long as you are living under our roof, you will abide by our word."

"Father, surely this is an unreasonable request?" Sydna says in an attempt to get her father on her side.

Holvaeth chimes in. "You heard your mother. Kova, you will go with Sydna, Terra and her friends to Nillork. You could use the excursion, and this will be a good experience for you should you marry a noble in the future."

The fraternal twins are stunned, feeling betrayed by their own parents. That disdain quickly turns against one another as they both scoff in annoyance over the current situation.

Kova then relents. "Fine, but if I'm going, I'm getting that transport. No way am I getting stuck sitting in a dinky cart next to her."

Holvaeth chuckles. "That's fine. Just make sure you pack well. While you're there, I want you to take in as much as you can. After all, you will be there for a fortnight."

"TWO WEEKS?!" The sisters shout in unison before trying to plead their case once again, but it simply fails like the first attempt did just moments ago.

---

A FEW HOURS LATER:

John and Kyuala are packing up their things, getting ready to depart as soon as the transport for Kova arrives. As they are, Kyuala lets out a disappointed sigh. "I'm going to miss this bed. I've never slept on anything as comfy. Well, apart from you, beloved."

"Yeah, shame there isn't magic to like shrink it and put it in our backpacks, so we can use it on the road."

"Someone say magic?" The duo hear from behind. They then turn around and see Terra standing at the doorway.

"You're packed already?" John asks.

"Yep! I didn't really unpack to be honest, didn't exactly get much time when I got here." Terra replies, causing John to immediately feel bad as he quickly remembers what happened.

"Oh shit, yeah. Uhh, my bad."

Terra laughs, "You needn't apologize. I wasn't planning on unpacking anyway, regardless of being kidnapped. Anyway, Kyuala, may I talk to you for a moment?"

"Sure." Kyuala responds before walking out of the room with Terra. They stop just outside of the room before Kyuala asks, "Is everything alright?"

"With me, yes. However, I came to ask, do you know what's wrong with Amilia? She seems awfully down, and every time I try to talk to her, she just brushes me off. Has she mentioned anything to you? Did I do something?"

"Uhh, no. She hasn't mentioned anything to me. I have noticed she seems off, but it's probably just a stomach thing. She always gets really grumpy when her stomach plays up."

"Ohhh, and here I thought I did something horrible to her. What a fool I am. Anyway, is there anything I can do to help her?"

Kyuala thinks for a moment. "Well, my mother would make her soup whenever she was under the weather, so maybe pack some soup for the journey?"

"Great idea! I'll pop to the kitchen and grab some of the canned soups they have. Does she have any preference?"

"Anything that isn't vegetable soup."

"Right. No vegetable soup. Okay, I'll be back in a few." Terra says before heading down the hall and to the steps.

As Kyuala walks away, her investigative mind from earlier comes back as the plot seemingly thickens. If Terra has noticed Amilia ignoring her, then she was right to think about that possibility at the table. Kyuala then decides it's time to see what's up, so she heads towards Amilia's room.

---

DOWNSTAIRS:

Terra is making her way towards the kitchen, taking the quickest route from the stairs which is past the throne room. As she gets close to the large doors, she hears her father talking to someone.

"I'm incredibly sorry for your loss, Kyarl. I cannot imagine the pain you are currently going through. If you need anything, my door is always open to you." Holvaeth says to the grieving father in front of him.

"How was he found?" Kyarl asks.

Holvaeth sighs. "Are you sure you want hear that? It won't help anything."

"Tell me how my son died damn it!" Kyarl shouts.

Holvaeth relents, giving into Kyarl's demand. "Alright. My men were responding to a report of wheel marks that led through the Green Path. They followed said tracks, and eventually came upon an abandoned building. My men went inside, and that's when they started finding bodies of what appeared to be guards of some sort. They continues through the building, and after finding more and more bodies, they eventually came upon Nartho. From the reports I received, it seems as if Nartho was... tortured. His fingers and feet were broken and battered almost beyond repair, presumably before a sword was driven through his chest. Now, the captain of that group has heard rumblings of bandits moving into the surrounding area, so we have begun looking for-."

"There's no need to look. I know exactly who did this." Kyarl says with a growl in his tone.

Holvaeth acts a little confused, but he can see where this is heading. "Who do you suspect?"

Kyarl looks Holvaeth dead in his eyes before answering, "I know it was your daughter, Terra."
