The Next Few Days

The next morning I got up and spared with Willow. This time using left hands. She was good with either hand. I however was not but it was good practice encase I ever needed to wield two swords against someone like her.

I spent time talking to Ava about healing magic after her morning scouting trip. Despite her saying that she wasn't all to strong when it came to magic she knew a great deal about healing magic. She taught me a fair bit beyond what could be learned from books. I also learned a bit about her personally as well. While she could fight to some degree like most of her kind she had turned to the healing arts wanting to save lives. She wouldn't tell me her actual age but I was sure it was a little less then two centuries. She still had a youthfulness in her appearance and personality.

She told me about the other two mages who had accompanied her and the arch magus were an archivist who specialized in magical theory and was fluent in several languages and the arch mages personal assistant who Ava had never seen actually practice magic. The afternoons I spent conversing with the arch magus. I wasn't about to pass up getting private lessons about magic from one of the most powerful magic users in the human kingdom.

The closer we got each day I could see how it affected Aurora and Willow. Even with the barrier up Aurora got a little more horny each night. The potions helped to some degree but not enough. The archmagus was kind enough to cast the spell on the carriage itself and let Aurora ride with them. I could feel the magic myself now as we got closer.

The sparring matches with Willow got a little more up close and personal. Anymore so and we would be wrestling and I knew where that would lead. When we got to the last town before the capital we stopped for the night. Luckily they had cabins for human travelers visiting the capital so we didn't have to sleep on the ground in a tent. I cast two barriers. One to keep Aurora safe and a second one to keep her trapped inside at her request.

"Think that will hold her?" Willow teased as she walked up.

"I wish I didn't have to honestly." I shook my head.

"You really think the high priestess can help her?" Willow smirked. I knew Willow and her father had tried everything they could already.

"No, but I have to try. Even if it is pointless." I shrugged.

"You really love her don't you? I can respect that though I am a little jealous." Willow smiled and gave me a peck on the lips. "If you do find a cure do me a favor and don't tell anyone else. I am happy the way I am. It may be a burden at times but it is what shaped me. If you can't find a cure, find her a purpose. Something to focus her mind."

"Thank you." I smiled at Willow.

"Mind if I come in for a bit myself?" Willow nodded.

"Sure." I nodded and offered my hand and went through the door.

"Oh wow." Willow took a deep breath. She looked more calm and peaceful then she had in several days.

"Oh, Princess Willow. Want to join us." Aurora smiled as she sat the bird she had been cooking on a plate.

"If you two don't mind." Willow smiled and looked at me and I nodded. We ate and joked. Aurora cracked open a bottle of wine she had brought along but hadn't found the right moment to open it. We even poured a little for the fairy though it went a long way as she was soon passed out.

"Can I ask you a personal question Princess Willow." Aurora smiled.

"If you promise to drop the princess part. Willow is fine." Willow shrugged and took a drink of wine.

"You have been with other girls right?"

"Yes quit often. Why do you ask?" Willow smiled.

"How do you know if a girl is interested in you?" Aurora asked. I had a feeling I knew who she meant. Rose. They were subtle in public but in private I would have to been blind not to see it. Hell I even encouraged it a little.

"Are we talking about someone in particular?"

"No, I mean." Aurora blushed as she looked at me.

"Relax sweet cheeks I am just messing with you." Willow smiled. "I don't know a lot about love but I find it is best to be honest when you are with someone. I am bisexual myself. Maybe more lesbian then straight but for me it is more about the connection with a person then about gender. If you love some just tell them."

"Thank you." Aurora smiled.

"If you are curious though I could show you a few things about pleasing a woman."

"I don't know if that would be a good idea." I shook my head.

"What. I know even with that barrier up I am still a little horny and I know she has to be was well but we still seem to have control of ourselves to make decisions otherwise we would already be on top of the table fucking each others brains out."

"It's okay." Aurora nodded.

"Are you sure?" I asked as I looked up at her.

"I am." Aurora smiled and held up her hand to show she was still wearing the ring. "Like she said. Were still in control of ourselves at least till I take off this ring. Then I have no clue what will happen. Plus when you are at the city tomorrow who will look after me? You trust her and I trust your judgement without question."
