Encore

Rosalind and Earnest recited their introductions again, then the church members introduced themselves. The holy mother of Lindow’s name was Adeline, and they could call Adeline by her name if they preferred to. Adeline also introduced the other church member that was with her. Her name was Haziel, a specialist in detecting and counteracting dark magic, or at least she was on her way to becoming one. She was clad in priestly clothing, with a large white hood covering her head. Beneath the hood, her eyes were covered by a white blindfold with the symbol of an eye in the center. Judging by the portion of her face that was visible, as well as her hands which rested politely in front of her, she seemed to be quite young and delicate.

Adeline continued Haziel’s introduction, telling Rosalind and Earnest about how shy she was, much to Haziel’s embarrassment. She had come from a larger church a few towns over where she was in training. Adeline joined her once she reached Lindow and accompanied her since.

“My goodness, the journey was so harsh for such a young one. I just couldn’t leave her alone, you see, so I decided to come along as well. It’s a good thing that I did, she was having a hard time keeping up with the knights.”

Adeline revealed that Haziel was too shy to ask them to slow down, or to ask for any help. It turned out that she was mostly shy around men, and was more open to women. Even with her shyness, she didn’t want to be a drag to the rest of the group, so she asked Adeline for help. Adeline suggested that Haziel ride on her back when her legs and feet were tired, a suggestion that Haziel wouldn’t have taken if there was any other way. But with no other options, she took Adeline’s offer, traveling in a rather embarrassing position. Rosalind chimed in with a question at that point.

“Mother Adeline, pardon me if I am being rude, but you hardly look worn out at all, compared to the knights at the other table. How did you not only bring yourself from Lindow to Knottori, but Haziel as well?”

The gentle smile that was characteristic of priests and priestesses changed into a bit of a smirk, as she rolled one of her sleeves up, revealing a surprising well toned arm.

“Well, you see, the body is the temple of the mind. If I am to serve the church and the gods, I must house my faith in a sturdy temple. When my daily duties are complete and there is free time, I make use of it with strength and endurance training. Carrying Haziel was hardly a test for me.”

Rosalind’s eyes washed over Adeline’s body. She had seen her before in Lindow, and remembered being distracted by her unexpectedly bountiful body. Adeline’s ample curves still tempted her now. Rosalind’s thoughts drifted off. How would those magnificent breasts feel against her palms? What about the round ass that she sat upon, or the long legs she had crossed in front of her? What kind of sounds would she make in the throes of intimacy, what kinds of pleasures would she feel? What would it feel like to control such a sinfully attractive body…

Rosalind’s libido was getting the best of her again, as she sent a small amount of magic energy to the pink magic crystal that was still buried deep inside her. She had kept it inside her against her better judgment, and had made use of it in private many times. She even used it discreetly in public recently, but right now in front of the priestess? This one felt dirtier, guiltier, and more exciting than any time before. She couldn’t believe what she was doing.

Rosalind was careful to not show anything on the surface. She kept her expression and movements calm and cool, even though her insides were quite the opposite. Adeline was sitting across from her, talking in passionate detail about her daily workout routine. She hadn’t seemed to notice anything about Rosalind. Earnest was listening to Adeline and seemed oblivious to the state of his partner.

Rosalind looked at Haziel, and noticed that her attention wasn’t on Adeline. No, Haziel was facing towards Rosalind with a heavy blush on her face. Had she been found out? Wait, Haziel was blindfolded, she couldn’t even see Rosalind right now. The blush on her face was probably from the embarrassing story earlier about having to ride on Adeline’s back. Rosalind’s worries subsided as she listened to Adeline continue on about diet and nutrition, not really paying attention to the details as she was enjoying the sensations the pink crystal was giving her in secret.

The whole table was fine with letting Adeline talk to her heart’s content, but all moments end eventually. The innkeeper arrived with Adeline’s and Haziel’s orders, and placed the steaming hot food in front of them.

“Adeline, it’s been a while hasn’t it?”

“Why yes it has Emmy, a few years I believe.”

“Why don’t you visit more often? You’re always welcome to stay as long as you’d like.”

“Thank you for the kind offer, I’d love to leave Lindow more often, but I’ve got my church to attend to”

“...and I’ve got my inn as well… Well, in any case, you’re here now. Why don’t we… catch up?”

“Oh I would love to, but business before pleasure, as they say… perhaps after all this is done and over with.”

“Okay, whenever you’re ready.”

The innkeeper left their table, returning to the kitchen and coming back with more plates of food for the knights’ table. Adeline noticed the curiosity from her tablemates, and explained that she had known Emmy since long ago. She didn’t say much more than that, as she began a prayer to the gods over her meal. Haziel joined her, and the two recited a prayer to the goddess of harvest. After Adeline had finished, she busied her mouth with eating instead. Rosalind saw that Haziel started to eat as well, and wondered how she was able to do it so effortlessly with a blindfold on.

Watching the two eat made both Rosalind and Earnest realize that they were getting quite hungry as well. Rosalind asked if they could join the two of them for a meal, and they readily agreed. She got the attention of the innkeeper and placed an order for Earnest too. It was a little awkward waiting in silence while the two priestesses ate, so Rosalind made some small talk, sharing some mildly funny stories about the villagers’ lives. Little mundane comedies about misunderstandings and mistakes in the peaceful daily life of Knottori, stories that she had gathered from Rosalind’s diary and from practicing conversation with the villagers. Adeline seemed to enjoy them, while Haziel still seemed shy and on-guard, never laughing aloud.

Thankfully the food arrived quickly, so Rosalind and Earnest could begin eating. By now the inn was full of people and the chatter that they made. It served as a nice background noise as the four of them ate without exchanging any more words.

As Rosalind filled her stomach and satisfied her hunger, the distraction from her other dissatisfaction disappeared. She was horny again, and wanted nothing other than relief. She sped up the pace that she was eating, and finished her meal first. She excused herself, telling the table that she would be turning in early in preparation for tomorrow. She added on that she would explain the situation in full tomorrow, to both the church members and the knights. She turned to leave, then remembered to repeat what she told the knights a bit earlier, that the threat was already dealt with and the criminals were in a makeshift holding cell. Rosalind then left in a hurry, running back up to her room.

With each step on the way, she increased the magic power going to the vibrating crystal inside her, until she shut the door to her room and locked it behind her. She yanked her pants and underwear down as quickly as possible, and started to desperately pleasure herself. She stuck a hand between her legs and started to rub herself, while her other hand massaged a breast that was still covered by clothing.

Unfortunately for her, this was becoming a regular routine for her. Alesia’s potion helped, but didn’t solve her libido entirely, and the limit of two bottles a day just simply wasn’t enough to douse the flames within her. She would take more, if not for the fact that Alesia strongly advised against it, since some of the ingredients in the potion would be toxic at high enough quantities.

She gave herself up to the fact that she would need to take regular breaks throughout the day for some private time with her fingers and the pink magic crystal. As much as Rosalind didn’t want to defile her body, it had demands that needed to be met. Thankfully, it seemed that no one had found out, even when she made the poor choice of discreetly using the vibrating crystal in front of them. Well, at least they didn’t say if they noticed something amiss.

As Rosalind was in the middle of a one woman show upstairs, Earnest was finishing up his meal downstairs. He was a bit nervous now that Rosalind had left and he was on his own, but the group priestesses were still eating. Earnest knew Rosalind’s quick exit was to go masturbate… again. He wasn’t the most confident person in the world, but he wasn’t dull. He had remembered what Coltia had said about three young men’s worth of libido being shoved into Rosalind’s body, and how she could barely keep her hands off herself while resting at the misfits’ base. Well, to Earnest it was understandable, after all he was enjoying the benefits of his own body as well. He wasn’t in a position to judge Rosalind.

Earnest finished his meal and bid the two priestesses a good night, retiring to his room like Rosalind. He had to admit, the idea of Rosalind masturbating in the room next door was… arousing to him. As Alesia’s mind spent time in Earnest’s body, she saw women as more attractive and enticing, especially now that she had access to a tool that was very compatible with them.

Earnest put his ear against the wall shared with Rosalind’s room, and listened intently. He thought he could hear some heavy breathing, maybe even some light moaning? The erection that was already forming in Earnest’s pants was now fully realized, and he took his ear away from the wall. He made his way over to the bed, where Alesia’s vacant body lay still. He used his strength to position her, moving her crotch towards the side of the bed, then removed any clothing that was in the way. He used his tongue to stimulate her, performing foreplay on the empty body.

Even though there was no mind inside, the basic bodily functions remained, and still allowed Alesia’s body to get turned on and wet. Earnest learned that this was a requirement for a pleasurable insertion, as had been playing with Alesia’s body for his own pleasure every chance that he got.

Earnest had done enough preparation, Alesia was ready. He repositioned her, turning her over so that she was bent over the edge of the bed, her ass presenting to the open air. Earnest stood behind her, removing his pants and letting his cock spring out of its confines. He lined up the tip with Alesia’s entrance, and eased his way in, inch by inch slowly disappearing inside her.

Once he was fully sheathed, he placed his hands on her hips, and started to move in and out of her, increasing the pace as he went. He started to pull Alesia’s hips back into his own thrusts, pounding deep inside her with every thrust. For Earnest, pleasuring himself with Alesia’s body had started to become somewhat routine. However, this routine couldn’t be permanent. Alesia’s time in Earnest’s body would have to come to an end soon.

The knights and priestesses would probably finish up here in a few days, taking the misfits with them. Then, Earnest’s mind could return to his own body and Rosalind’s mind could be freed, with Earnest then completing the black mind slime which would end up in Rosalind. And Alesia would be… back in the body that she was currently pumping Earnest’s cock into. He could feel his borrowed body grow close to orgasm, and decided to leave a gift inside of Alesia’s womb. He knew that her safe days were at their end, and there was a chance… a slim chance…

The idea pushed Earnest’s over the edge. His cock started pulsating, pumping cum into Alesia’s defenseless depths. He pressed himself as close to her body as he could, pushing his dick as deep as it would go so that his white, gooey seed would have the best chance of impregnating her. Alesia didn’t want to lose Earnest, and made a heat of the moment decision. As the last globs of cum were depositing within his partner, Earnest began to regret his reckless action, but a part of him still hoped that the impulsive choice would work out, binding Earnest and Alesia together forever…

As Earnest and Rosalind enjoyed their privacy upstairs, the knights and priestesses finished their meals and were happy to finally indulge in some well needed rest. The priestesses would share a room at the inn, while the knights would head over to old knight Arthur’s house for their stay. The night silently blanketed the peaceful village of Knottori, as its residents turned in for a restful sleep, preparing for what tomorrow would bring.
