The Start of An Epic Journey

A historic town, which started as a tiny village built centuries ago, an area once booming with life, is quickly burning to the ground. With the town isolated for over a hundred miles, no foreign help will be arriving to save the day. With each building that burns down in the powerful blazes, a significant part of history becomes lost to destruction.

No one knows how the fire started. With it being late at night, people were sleeping in their homes, unaware of the danger until it was too late. With how quickly the fire spread, everyone who lived in the town was burned to **** one after another. Everyone, except one.

Beyond the sounds of fire crackling and the building collapsing is the sound of a cry, a baby crying. On the ground in the center of town is a baby, alone, hungry, and scared. The surrounding fire draws closer to the helpless infant. But out of nowhere, a savior appears.

Emerging directly out of the fire is the silhouette of a person. The fire does not harm the silhouette as it casually moves through the flames. It approaches the child, hearing its cries.

At first, the baby becomes more afraid as the silhouette picks it up. The baby can't make out any distinguishing features of the person. To the baby, the silhouette looks nothing more than a dark shadow. But being in the silhouette's arms, the baby feels a warmth unlike the fire. The warmth is loving and caring. The feeling feels like... Home.

The baby stops crying as it looks at the silhouette's blank face. The child smiles as the silhouette's face appears to become clearer. The shadowy face slowly goes away. The baby can just make out a nose. Just a little more, and the baby should be able to see the entire face. Just a little bit-

You open your eyes to the sound of birds chirping. The amount of sunlight in your wooden hut tells you it's morning. As you get up from lying down and rub your eyes, the memory of the dream you had replays in your mind.

It's the third time this week you've had that dream. You started having it... You're not even sure how long it's been since you first had the dream. Living alone for so long, you stopped caring about counting the days. But you do know you had the dream once a month. Then you started having the dream every other week, and now you have it every other night.

There are many things you don't understand about the repeated dream. One of them is why you keep having it. As you exit your hut to see the swamp area you've lived in your entire life, as far back as you can remember, it has always been just this swamp. Your earliest memory is waking up in the middle of this swamp, alone. And your next earliest memory is finding a hut, which you have been living in ever since, filled with books, food, and other stuff. Since you know little of the world beyond this massive swamp, why would you have a dream about a baby in a burning town?

You do have a theory regarding what your dream could be. Perhaps the baby in the dream is you. Perhaps the dream is actually a memory. That could explain why the dream is in your mind. But if that's the case, then who is the mysterious silhouette who picks you up? Every time, the dream always ends before the face of the silhouette becomes clear.

Knowing you can't do anything to learn more about your dream, you decide to let it go for now. In no hurry, you calmly approach an empty bucket sitting near the edge of the swamp's yucky water. Casually, you use the bucket to scoop up the liquid filled with algae.

Right now, the water is unsafe to drink. But luckily, you know magic. How you know magic, you don't know. No one has ever taught you how to use your magic powers or the vast amount of spells you know. Perhaps it's the same reason you know how to read. You somehow know how.

With just a thought and a flick of your wrist, you turn the green water inside the bucket into safe, clean drinking water. You use your magic again to summon a cup in your hand. You're about to scoop the cup into the bucket to fill it with water. But you stop when you hear someone gasping from your right. Looking over, you see a woman.

"Black magic!" The woman points a finger at you. You think you see a bit of fear in her eyes. But you're unable to say or do anything as she quickly shouts, "Take him out!"

Before you can react, something blunt hits you hard in the back of your head. Everything quickly becomes dark. The last thing you see is the woman walking toward you. But before you lose consciousness, you hear a female voice. However, it's not the voice of the woman who shouted at you. Instead, it's a feminine voice that sounds like it's coming from inside your head. "The day has finally arrived. Let the start of a new age soon begin!"

A squeaking and clopping sound wakes you up. When you open your eyes, you find yourself in a horse-driven wagon. The back of your head hurts slightly. You go to rub your head. But you discover your hands are tied together by your wrists. Looking down at yourself, you notice your legs are also tied together tightly with rope.

"Hey, you. You're finally awake," you hear a man say. When you look to your right, you see an adult male, restrained, like you. "You were trying to cross the border. Right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush. Same as us. And that thief over there."

Confused, you look to your left only to see that no one else is in the wagon. You look back at the man to ask what he's talking about, but the man sitting at the front of the cart, guiding the horse, speaks. "Don't listen to him. He's just a nutjob."

"Where are you taking me?"

A familiar female voice answers your question. "To Oshsalenor, the greatest elf kingdom of the northern part of the world."

Looking to where the voice came from, you see the woman who encountered you at your swamp. She walks closely behind the cart as it travels. The elf's breasts, barely contained in her bikini armor bra, bounce as she walks.

Wow! So this is what a woman looks like in person. The illustrations in the books in my hut are nothing compared to this woman. She's so hot. You think to yourself. But the woman notices where your eyes are looking.

"My eyes are up here, perverted human!"

You become completely silent, intimidated by the voluptuous, angry woman. You manage to move your eyes away from her breasts to look up at her face. "Hey. You have pointy ears. That means you're an elf, right?"

"What do I look like, a troll? Of course, I'm an elf! Don't try to soften me up toward you, human. You're not escaping. I'll slice you in half with my sword before you can blink. Consider yourself lucky I'm not the one who decides what happens to you. If it were up to me, I would strike you down where you sit right now for being a perv. But if I were you, I would pray Queen Sumina shows you mercy when you meet her. Oshsalenor is just ahead. Now, watch where you look, human!"

When you turn around to look in the direction the cart is heading, you see a massive, beautiful kingdom in the near distance, surrounded by tall stone walls. Having never seen anything beyond the swamp you lived in for years, you're in awe of the kingdom, amazed by its structure and existence.

Soon, the cart approaches the massive front gate of the kingdom. Being so close to the stone walls, you're impressed by their size and height. They easily stand more than 100 feet.

Why does a kingdom need these massive walls? Are they trying to keep something out or keep something inside? You wonder.

"Open the gate," the black elf shouts.

The massive gate doors open slowly. Seconds later, the cart is pulled inside by the horse. As the cart is guided further into the town, you look around, amazed by the vast number of elves walking around, the tall buildings, and the clean streets. It's definitely better than the swamp.

Eventually, the cart arrives at a massive castle in the back of the kingdom. You're dragged out of the cart by the black elf. Once removed from the cart, the elf hits the side of the cart. "Take the other man to prison. Then come back here. I have a feeling this human will be joining his new friend soon."

The driver of the cart gently flicks his reins, getting the horse to start moving forward. You glance at the man you've been riding with in the cart, getting further away as you're pulled in the other direction by the female elf.

Due to your binds, it's hard for you to move. You can do nothing as you're dragged through long hallways inside the castle, the back of your heels scraping against the floor. You're unable to stand up. All you can see is the hallways of the castle as you're pulled, unable to look behind you to see where you're heading.

Eventually, you're brought to a throne room. The female elf lets go of your binds and bows her head in respect to the person you currently can't see. "Queen Sumina. I have returned from my mission to find one of our enemies' hideouts. The mission was a failure. But I did bring back a person of interest."

While the black elf was speaking, you managed to scooch yourself around to see Queen Sumina for yourself. The moment you spot her, your mouth hangs wide open. Holy!... Breasts can grow to be that big?!

Queen Sumina, the Elf Queen, looks down at you from her throne. You can feel her eyes carefully examining you, like she's trying to understand you. "Allisa. Who is this human male? What's so special about him that you had to bring him to me?"

The black elf, who you now know is named Allisa, stands up straight. "Your Majesty. While my group was traveling through Marshlight Swamp, we saw this man perform black magic. I saw this man turn swamp water into acid before my very eyes."

"That's not true. I-" Allisa kicks you in the face. You can taste her cold metal boot as it brushes by your mouth.

"Silence! Don't speak unless addressed to!" Allisa turns her attention back to Queen Sumina. She wipes the boot that kicked your face against the floor like she's disgusted that she touched you. "Your Majesty. Should I kill this man for committing the crime of using black magic?"

The beautiful Queen Sumina stares at you silently for a moment before getting up from her throne. She walks elegantly as she approaches you and Allisa, her breasts jiggle slightly. "Allisa, leave me alone with him for a bit."

Allisa is surprised by Queen Sumina's request. "Your Majesty. Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Leave us, Allisa."

"Alright. I'll be outside if you need me." After giving another quick bow, Allisa turns around and walks away. You soon hear the sound of the heavy doors closing behind you, telling you you're now alone with Queen Sumina.

As you remain sitting on the floor, the Elf Queen stands directly before you, giving you an arousing view of her as you look up. Do all female adults have massive titties? Or is this just an elf thing? I wonder what they feel like. Do women play with their chests when they're alone? I would if I were a woman with massive tits. I'm sure I'm not the first person to stare at these massive things.

"So, you were found in Marshlight Swamp doing black magic, huh? What were you doing there? That place is quite dangerous with the wildlife."

For the first time in your life, you feel the fear of a man who thinks their life is in danger. "I-I live in that swamp. I have been for my entire life. It's not so bad. I haven't had any problems with the wildlife for years. They even hang out with me at times. So... Uhh... About what Allisa said, I didn't turn water into acid. I turned the dirty swamp water into clean, drinkable water for myself."

"Oh! So you admit you know magic."

"Yes, I know magic. Is that a problem?"

Queen Sumina seems taken aback by your response. You can't tell if the smile on her face is a good or bad thing. And the silence as she looks at you doesn't help to calm your nerves. You feel like she's looking into your soul. But finally, Queen Sumina speaks again. "You said you've lived in Marshlight Swamp your whole life. How much do you know about the world? And what kind of spells do you know how to do?"

"Uhh... Not much. I've never left the swamp until today. I only know about the world based on books I happened to find in the swamp. I guess travelers lost them or something. I don't know anything about your kingdom or you. I know you're an elf from your pointy ears. But besides your pointy ears and the fact that you live for centuries, I don't know anything about elves. As for spells, I know a large variety of them."

Once again, Queen Sumina is silent as she studies you. What she says, though, after a long silence, surprises you. "Show me a spell. Perform a spell for me right now in front of me."

Looking directly into Queen Sumina's eyes, you try to figure out exactly what she wants from you. You wish you could read minds. But you only know two spells that are mind-related. And one of them is sensing how strong-willed a person is.

Using that spell, you can sense that Sumina has a strong will. But her mental defenses are just weak enough to use your other mind-related spell on her, the Common Sense Manipulation spell.

With a subtle wave of your hand, Sumina's eyes glow blue as you say the thing you want to alter about her common sense. "I am not your enemy for knowing magic. You will find a way to rationalize my use of magic in a way that makes you want to keep me alive to be useful to you." Queen Sumina's eyes go back to normal after you finish speaking.

Thinking of which spell to perform next, you decide to perform a spell that will get you out of your binds. "Flame body." The instant you say those words, your body heats up to extremely high levels before bursting into flames. You're fine. You don't suffer any damage to your body or feel anything while engulfed in flames. But the controlled fire quickly burns the rope restraining your hands and legs to ash, freeing you from your bondage.

The flames on your body quickly extinguish on their own as you get up off the floor. You rub your wrists, feeling relieved they're no longer tied together. When you look at Queen Sumina, she seems pleased with what she saw.

"Impressive. Centuries ago, you would have been sentenced to **** for using forbidden magic. But we are currently living in troubling times. Before I speak more, please. Tell me your name, wizard."

"Uhh..." You think about what to say. You don't know your name. Living alone your entire life, there was no one around to give you a name. "Uhh... That is my name. Wizard is my name."

"Nice to meet you, Wizard. I am Sumina the Fifth, the current queen of my beautiful kingdom of Oshsalenor. Here's the situation, Wizard. My kingdom is currently at war with another elf kingdom south of the world. Our war has been going on for centuries before I was born."

"Why are you at war with another kingdom?"

"Because... Because... Uhh..." Sumina leans her head down and grabs the top of her head with both hands, looking like she's suffering from a terrible migraine or something. Her voice sounds slightly panicked as she speaks. "I... Honestly, I don't know. I know it started when my great-great-grandmother, Sumina the Second, was queen. She was the one who initiated the ban on black magic worldwide. But I can't remember why we're at war in the first place." Sumina lets out a frustrated sigh before removing her hands from her head and standing up straight. There are no hints of panic in her voice anymore. "Anyway. Everyone thought the use of magic by mortal beings had gone extinct. During Sumina the Third's rule, the world believed that all the remaining wizards and sorcerers had either been killed or had disappeared and later died. But here you are, a secret weapon who could help us finally end this bloody war."

"You want me to help win the war for you?"

Is she okay? What was that? You ask inside your mind, honestly concerned about what you just witnessed.

"Yes. If you can help my people win this war, I'll greatly reward you. I'll grant you full citizenship in my kingdom, provide you with a free house to live in, and maybe I'll even let you be a part of my decision-making council for when I need to make major decisions for the good of Oshsalenor. So, what do you say, Wizard? Will you help me?" Sumina reaches out a hand toward you.

Without hesitation, you happily accept Sumina's hand. "I'm in!"

"Perfect!" Sumina lets go of your hand and looks toward the large, heavy doors behind you. "Allisa! You can stop listening in on our conversation now. Come on in."

You turn around to see Allisa opening one of the doors. She looks at you in disgust, then at Queen Sumina. "Your Majesty. Are you sure about this? We know nothing about this man."

"Which is why you'll keep a close eye on him at all times." Sumina places a gentle hand on your right shoulder. "You will work with Wizard to find a way to defeat our enemy once and for all."

"Actually, I believe I know of an easy way to win this war for you. I know of a magical stone known as the Mana Gem. Its location is far away from here. But I'm able to sense where it is. If I obtain it, I can greatly increase my magic. With the Mana Gem, I could have your enemy kingdom surrender with a flick of my hand."

Queen Sumina seems intrigued, while Allisa appears to be skeptical. "Your Majesty. You can't seriously believe him. The existence of this Mana Gem has never been mentioned in any historical writings."

"Not in any of the writings you've read. But I've read Sumina the Third's personal journal, and she's written about speaking to the last few remaining magic users, and they had mentioned a stone called the Mana Gem. If Wizard here knows of its existence and location, then we must find it." Sumina has a determined look on her face as she looks at Allisa. "Allisa! You will accompany Wizard. You will travel together to find the Mana Gem."

"Your Majesty. As the strongest warrior in the entire Oshsalenor army, don't you think my services could be put to better use? I could be on the front lines leading our army to victory against our enemy."

"Nonsense. Finding the Mana Gem is the best hope we have for our victory." Sumina points a finger at the door. "Gather as much food and supplies as you can carry. You will leave as soon as you're ready. Now move, Allisa!"

Allisa gives Sumina a look before bowing her head. "Yes, my Queen." Not wasting a single moment, Allisa rushes out of the room, leaving you alone with Sumina.

"When she gets back, you and Allisa will set out to find the Mana Gem. I don't care how long it takes you to get the stone. Kill anyone or do anything you need to do to get the stone, I don't care. All I care about is you succeeding in this mission. The safety of my people and my kingdom depends on it."

With you being alone with Sumina, you find it to be the perfect time to satisfy your perverted desires a bit. You flick your hand in front of Sumina, causing her eyes to glow blue as you use your Common Sense Manipulation spell again. "The proper way to wish me good luck is to show me your breasts."

Queen Sumina's eyes return to normal. You know the spell was a success. Unfortunately, you can't do a more perverse suggestion due to Sumina's strong will. But it's better than nothing.

A smile appears on Sumina's face as her hands move up toward the top of her dress. "I wish there was something I could give you to help you on your journey, Wizard. But I'm afraid the best I can provide you is my best wishes."

Queen Sumina adjusts her dress to free her royal orbs of flesh from their fabric confinement. She believes she's not dishonoring her late mother's wishes to reveal herself only to the one who will be her husband. After all, it's common sense to show her titties to someone for good luck.

"May the gods bless you, the great heroes and warriors of the past lend you their strength for any future battles, and my breasts give you the motivation you need to succeed."

You desperately want to reach your hands out to touch Sumina's breasts. But your magic isn't strong enough to override Sumina's strong will more than you already have. But you're happy with what you're able to do right now. "Don't worry, your Majesty. I won't let you down."

Sweet! The spell does work. Once I have the Mana Gem, the Queen will be doing more than just showing me her titties.

A/N: I hope you all like the chapter. Sorry there aren't many images in this chapter, and only one real NSFW image in this chapter. This series will be what I call 'smut with plot'. This series will be an actual story, like how my Would You Kindly was an actual story instead of just straight smut.

The mind control for this story will be common sense manipulation. You'll see more of it next chapter. This series isn't going to be short. You getting the Mana Gem is not going to be easy. But I hope this chapter has already gotten your guys' interest. Let me know what you guys think of this chapter. I feel I have great ideas for the upcoming chapter for this series.

I will say that there will be more female fantasy creatures besides elves in this series. I haven't forgotten about MILF Edition 2. I'm still working on it, but am still not finished with it yet. However, I will publish what I do have sometime next week.

Until I see you all again, I hope you have a nice day.

I generated all images in CivitAI. I also want to thank Forcy for being a beta reader for this chapter.
