Over the Ledge

Numerous felines ran across the rocky path cheerfully, some racing each other and sprinting through the watery mist. Felix carefully stepped from one loose rock to another, his body hugging the smooth mountain side as the trail grew thinner and thinner. As they turned the corner, it became apparent that the trail had faded into the wall leaving only room for feet to partially step on. Felix nervously looked to his left, spying at their guide and wondering how this boy could be at this height without so much as a sweat? The only water droplets on him were remnants from the watery mist surrounding them as they now faced the back end of a raging waterfall pouring down endlessly.

Nyitzcha pulled her arm back as more Nekomata's ran past her and made a jump into the flowing waters, smiling and yelling as they fell out of sight below. Felix felt his body stick like glue to the stone, his ragged tunic feeling wet with a mixture of sweat and water. A pebble bounced from his shoulder as Nyitzcha looked up and flinched when a Nekomata swung from a loose branch above, her blue eyes and wide teeth beaming back at them.

"Hello there! Spi'Reto sent for me, you two must be with NiNi?" Felix nodded, rewarding her sunny nature. "Wonderful! You lot are all the talk right now!"

Felix glanced above her upside down face, catching her breasts welcoming them as well. Spi'Reto cleared his throat, calmly removing his shirt as the Nekomata glanced and looked away.

"Oh-oh okay, this is Nature Springs where we jump in to wash away our filth and worries! Will we be going in for a cleaning or swimming?"

"Cleaning." Spi'Reto answered for them, passing his shirt to her as he fiddled with his pants. Nyitzcha raised her eyebrow when she noticed the light green marking on his chest as he removed his bottoms casually. Felix stepped away from the nude elf when his dwarf pushed him back, causing him to twitch and panic as his body swung like a guillotine.

Spi'Reto quickly caught him and pulled him back against the wall, leaving Felix panting with wide eyes and nodding endlessly like a bobblehead. Nyitzcha giggled as the cat girl hung around waiting.

"Now then, your clothes please?"

Felix wiped his brow, daring to look down before turning away. It was amusing to his partner, snickering as she volunteered to remove her clothes first.

"Ah don' s'pose ye got room t'carry dese?" She asked, tugging at her chest plate. It was an odd choice of clothing, if she could call it that. Since they met at her bar, Felix had wondered what to call whatever she had on her. Not a shirt, a dress or a tunic, just an odd chest piece with harness straps around her shoulders and thighs, along with an odd looking leather skirt and large leather boots which covered up her thighs. Or perhaps they were a size small but not small enough? He never asked, after all he was aware of how she felt about her size.

The Nekomata whistled and out popped two other cat girls, leaping from a ledge above and using their tails to swing upside down like their friend was before reaching with their paws down. Nyitzcha removed the copper goggles and reached up, frowning as the Nekomata was up too high. Felix made a pass for the goggles when she pulled back, before grumbling and passing them to him. Next, she pressed the dish on her chest plate which loosened their straps, allowing her to pull it over her overly large orange pigtails. Undoing her leather skirt was easy as was her leather boots, but from each boot she gave them a light shake as the sound of coins rattled inside.

"Ye best keep yer hands t'yerself if ye fancy havin' paws." Nyitzcha muttered, letting Felix pass them to the cats above.

Felix looked down as it was the first he had seen this woman, his wife, getting naked as she slipped out from her panties to reveal herself to him completely. Her body was thin and smooth with a slight bit of breasts to it. Now that her chest piece was removed, he was finding a number of odd markings on her, not so much scarring although their were a few odd cuts and puncture marks here and there, but what left him staring were these baby blue tone tattoos that enveloped and hugged her chest and legs, even curving around her butt and over her pussy. Tiny little red freckles scattered across her boobs, back, thighs and face, and as she yanked her pig tails free her long carrot colored hair flowed down like fine sheets covering her backside. With a wave of her head, she peeked back and saw Felix staring before stomping her little dwarf foot down.

"Put yer good fer nuthin' eyes to bleedin' use, I'm right 'ere." She smirked, turning to him and patting his crotch. "Now, ah think is yer turn ain' it?"

Felix swallowed and went to rip his shirt off when they could hear a few voices coming there way.

"You're sure this is the best course of action? Your mother wouldn't approve without your safety."

"My mother and sisters are without any safety, I need to-ugh! Son of a... dang it this really hurts, how do I use these things like this?"

Turning over the corner, Dimyri and Alma stepped in to join them along the ledge before freezing in place. Dimyri was left with her jaw open, staring at the naked elf and dwarf, as well as the half naked human standing with his clothes in hand staring back at her.

Alma glanced over. "I hope we're not interrupting? Dimyri insisted for a cleaning."

Dimyri's legs were wobbling, Felix noticed she was bare foot and her hands clumsily slid across the rocky surface behind them. When they made eye contact, her eyes lit up.

"Felix! I need your help, I really really don't know how to use um... these." She whined, clasping her hands and clenching her fingers. "This feels horrible, I walk funny, I feel funny, I see funny! Like right now, this place doesn't have light, like there you see? What's that!"

"That's a shadow." Spi'Reto confirmed.

"Yes, a shadow! It's not light, i-i's the opposite of light!"

"You mean dark?" Felix asked, unable to see wherever she was pointing.

"Yes! Yes now things are dark and-and my body is cold, and I miss my t-" Dimyri stumbled as she overstepped, her foot dangling as she waved her arms around. Alma gasped and reached forward, grabbing her elven styled top only for her fingers to slip.

"Dimy!" The three girls above cried out, with Dimyri frantically screeching with wide eyes, panicking as she began to fall backwards over the ledge and into the waterfall.

"Damn it!" Felix cried, diving in head first and shirtless. Alma touched a finger to her bottom lip, staring as this man jumped through without a second thought.

"Ay, he's gunna need me." Nyitzcha added, jumping in feet first into tbe cascading waters leaving mother and naked son on the ledge.

Alma glanced over at her son and tilted her head, her eyes glancing between him and the waterfall. Puzzled, Spi'Reto caught on and nodded, clapping his hands together and diving forward.

"We didn't get to see his thingy." One of the upside down cat girls whined.

"Is Dimy okay?"

"Of course she is, she's Emyri's eldest." Alma smiled, removing her own gear and clothing. "She can manage... hopefully."

In midfall, Felix reached out and grabbed Dimyri's hand, pulling her toward him. Dimyri looked back and held on tight to him, her face on his shoulder as he could see the river growing larger and closer.

"Don't suppose you can swim?" She stuttered as she held her breath.

He never swam before in his life.
