The Price of Freedom

Ala Mhigo was free from the Garlean occupation, Zenos was buried dead after the coward killed himself instead of getting captured. The resistance gave him a silent burial at the outskirts of The Lochs. Unlike Zenos, Fordola Lupis was a captive of Ala Mhigans and held in the capital’s cells.

As for Kerry and her party, they all got private rooms in Ala Mhigo for the time being until they are ready to leave, so in about a week they would go their separate ways.

Kerry herself finally got to cool down in her private room, fighting the primal merged with Zenos was something, gladly her abilities and her blessing as well as the help of some other individuals proved enough to take down the madman. It was still quite a stressful evening all things considered.

Now, she got to change into something more comfortable and process all that happened. Gone were Kerry’s armour and claymore. Now she wore a sleeveless shirt and comfy sweatpants, she sewed both herself after all. Weaving was her third favourite pastime.

Now, the time came to recap what happened in Ala Mhigo, her new master, Aulus. Kerry wasn’t sure how she felt about that arrangement. A bit of her suggested that it shouldn’t be that way, yet it felt just right, just like breathing felt right. Besides, as she admitted to herself earlier, it may not be all that bad if that means that his control fixes the incompetence issues of some of her companions. It was noticeable already, Sadu caused significantly much less collateral damage. Although Lyse was the biggest improvement, she seems to have dialled back her overly emotional and idealistic responses. Kerry expected Lyse to actually try and stop Zenos from taking his life in the imperial gardens before, but now Lyse did not budge, simply because she wasn’t ordered to save Zenos. Kerry guessed that Lyse probably would prefer for the madman to stand trial but orders were orders after all.

Which brings Kerry to the biggest point. Their final orders before master Aulus departed. First was obvious, continue on track aiding Eorzea. After Kerry gave him the report on Haydelyn and the ascians, master understood the threat they possessed, which in Kerry’s eyes was good, that would probably be the only dealbreaker for her in that arrangement, sure she would be able to stand up to master, maybe even take him down, but deep inside she knew she would need a new master after that, that would also apply to the other three as well. What would happen then, she wondered? Would she just continue the **** and what if Zeno’s commanding presence would make them drop to their knees? Maybe that wouldn’t happen but what else could? Would she and her party at the time just go to Garlemald to find a new master there? Gladly, none of this had to happen. She gave the possible predicament one more shudder as she thought that they may have seeked out someone like Magnai as well. That would just suck.

That brings her to a brilliant secondary order her master gave the group. For the time being that Aulus is away, Kerry is in charge, whatever she says, goes. Which is all nice and fine but the greatest benefit eluded her to this point. She wont have to suffer from Lyse’s incompetence, or even Sadu’s temper ever again with how obedient they became. Fuck, things may go smooth for once in a long while.

Kerry breathed in deep, she just sat there now in one of the comfy armchairs in the room, her hand had been roaming her thigh for a while without her noticing. At this point she looked down and just shrugged “Ah fuck it, why not.” Kerry leaned back and pulled off her sweatpants and underwear in one motion, she ran a set of three fingers over her slit and just felt the tingle of excitement run through her, her foot tapped a few times against the floor as she ran the fingers back and forth against the slit, stopping at her clit and giving the spot extra attention.

Fuck, now that she thought about it more as her fingers skirted against the sensitive spots… The prospect of being in control of her allies in that way and being able to get away with potentially anything was fucking hot. Extra points? She is not in control either, master Aulus pulls her strings in the long run too! Kerry moaned and arched her back as at this point she pushed the fingers into herself. On top of having her last **** group finally work in a coherent motion she could have them kneel before her and.. And replay her for all the stress they caused! Kerry fumbled in the armchair as her free hand went under her shirt to play with her breast, the fingers of the hand under the shirt went for the nipple and just squeezed and played with it. And to be honest, it's a smart assumption to guess that master Aulus saw them in a similar way, for one he was a man and all four of them were quite attractive, another thing was that he was Garlean, considering how Garleans view Eorzeans as lesser… That would mean he viewed them as nothing more than toys after all.

That last thought got Kerry to speed up her fingers working on her cunt, curling up inside and touching just the right spots. She finally reached her peak and kept going with her fingers for a short while longer until the pleasure subsided.

There were some ideas to iron out, but the course was clear. Kerry would still save Eorzea from any threat, but when all was said and done, she would be one of the harem girls, no, not just any harem girl, she’d be on top of it… Well just below her master.
