What's next?
Life
"Mother fucker!"
"Mir?!"
"It's fine, I just, fuckkkk, I'm done wasting money on clothes I'll just wear my battle gear everywhere!"
"What happened?"
"My ass and tits got bigger and I'm another inch shorter!"
Kay joined Roxy finally, Having probably already guessed. "That you did, God you get cuter and cuter," Her hand on my ass, and fingers of her other hand trailing my body, let me know how true that was, "but hurry up before I pull both you back to bed."
The whimper sound that excaped me was undignified, but I couldn't fine it in me to care.
"Oh don't worry flower, I'll make sure you feel really appreciated tonight."
My lean into her hand as she took it away from my face, while she squeezed my ass one last time showed, just how bad I had it for this type of dominance.
The flush and the near meowing sound thay came out of Roxy let us both know she wasn't too much better.
'Goddess why did you have to make me so submissive!'
Flash* 'We change for those we love, there is power in that, power I need you to have to survive.'
Back to reality my breathing was heavy as we finished getting ready for our next mission, we needed to break-in their new gifts and I needed more successful missions if I wanted to get us higher tier ones.
The three of us where terror on my budget and I bet their own piggy banks weren't as full as they'd like.
Besides it's the better missions where things get complicated and where complications are there's a chance to find stuff we're not supposed to.
I didn't know how it operated but most banned materials were found on the frontiers then smuggled in toward the core nations.
Until we found the black market, it was our best lead on mine and Roxy's goddesses.
I had the distinct impression I wasn't strong enough yet for what she needed, so I needed info and to work hard.
Roxy needed more than me, her goddess couldn't even talk to her like mine could, she must be severely weakened or need special rituals and regents. Maybe both.
I doubt her God can force a connection mid battle and forge the next step of the pact.
The lack of ritual circle alone had surprised me until I noticed hidden in my tattoos all the components of that first circle.
I was her last worshiper, her last knight, and her last temple all rolled into one.
With great reluctance we left the bedroom and headed for the mission office.
Thankfully it was a few more missions before anything exciting happened.
Gave us time for my girls to get used to things and for me to come to terms with enjoying my body, while being unable to truly find the point at which my goddesses' influence ended and what was me began.
It was an odd feeling to constantly be analyzing my own train of thought like that.
The pleasure provided by my two partners helped immensely.
Roxy was so timid, until she was given an order, I'd never seen her so confident.
I was the opposite, confident and in control, until Kay shattered my iron grip on myself, 'Miranda, on the bed, I want to see Roxy slamming into you while I ride your face, you better not let yourself get distracted, if either of you cum before I do, well I'm sure I'll come up with something fun to punish you with.'
I'd yet do anything but follow her orders in a moment like that, when she spoke, I melted.
"Mir, head in the game, Kay needs a break from healing, Ill handle this, you've killed enough big ones."
I really need to stop myself from getting distracted, I was supposed to be in control right now, but all I could think about was how many days it's been since I got to give that control away.
I left our little Ice Caster to hold the line with the other Caster types, near sliding into our little ad-hoc med tent to see Kay slumped against the ground, trying to heal another worker.
"Kay, stand down, I've got you,"
"Just one more boss lady"
"No, I'm here, you can breath, the line is holding I can concentrate here. Rest."
"But-"
'the night falls and the stars welcome you.'
The incantation sending her to sleep.
She'll be pissed when she wakes up, but I wasn't going to let her give the last of her self.
After laying her in her own bed roll I returned to her patient and picked up where she left off.
This whole mission was a cluster fuck.
We were just supposed to help a few other teams defend the workers as they made the scout outpost.
A hand full of buildings, a watch tower and a wall were all that was needed out here.
What very much wasn't needed out here was the near endless stream of monsters and corrupted supernatural creatures that sweep out of the void fog still lingering in distance.
The fog shouldn't be thick enough for this effect.
It gave us just enough time to prepare a defense greater than the loose guard shifts of teams we had been using.
Kay was forced to retreat from her preferred location on the front lines because there were precious few healers good enough to have someone back on their feet and battle ready fast enough.
I would have joined her immediately but I was the only heavy hitter on our section of wall that could meet the attackers on the field and delay them so the ranged attacks could do their work.
I regret that decision when I saw how far she had pushed herself, Kay had kept every adventurer in the fight and then had started healing the construction workers that got caught from stray projectiles making it past us.
There wasn't enough of the outpost finished to protect them from everything, we did our best but there was still plenty for Kay to overwork her self on.
I would just have to make sure that when she woke up there was no work to do, the other Healers all already passed out, she had nothing to be ashamed of.
Like I thought, she was pissed off when she woke up, even though I had healed everyone left.
"How dare you pull me away from a patient mid heal! And put me to sleep like from fresh inductee that bit off more than they could chew!"
" Well maybe if you didn't act like one I wouldn't have to treat you like one, how long were you pulling from your own Essence and willpower?!"
" I know my limits I would have been fine! "
" No you would have been dead! "
"I have enough experience to know how to compensate when one of my pools run out! I was out of Divine essence but I still had my own and my willpower!"
" both of which were also low when I found you! I WON'T LOSE YOU LIKE THAT TOO! "
Everybody who wasn't already watching or shouting match stopped and turned to look at me, the construction workers were resting in their own camp a bit aways with a few adventures on watch out.
I was surrounded by Adventures, there was no putting that cat back in the bag or pretending that I hadn't just thrown up my emotional baggage on the floor in front of everyone.
"Mir? Who did you lo-"
' the darkness of the night finds your skin'
To their eyes it would have looked like I had vanished but I was still among them clothed in the effect, light could not bounce off of me it only flowed through me as if I was the darkness of empty space.
I left towards a corpse of trees I had seen earlier, I needed to be alone to think.
Two hours later I could admit that I was mostly just brooding.
I had dropped the effect a while ago thankfully no one thought to look for me here.
The two people here that knew me the most had meet me after I quit hiding in a Glade wallowing in my tears.
The tears came easier than I remember and the sorrow felt deeper, my Outburst had brought a lot of memories to the surface.
Almost all of them good, my mom had been great, but now they are all tinged with loss and capped with my memory of her funeral.
"Mir, I'm here."
Roxy was the one to find me.
"Hey"
With difficulty that confessed her lack of tree climbing experience I found her next to me only few minutes later.
