Whispers Among the Trees

Chapter 13: -Whispers Among the Trees-

"Y...you were kidding, right? He was kidding, right?" Leah said, her eyes filled with abject horror.

"Wait, was that the time you just disappeared without so much as a word? I was worried sick about you! Y...you told me your father took you on an emergency trip!" Elizabeth said, stepping towards Hi'kim and smacking him playfully on his chest.

"Oh...c..crap, I did tell you something else," the dark-skinned wizard mumbled.

"And what else are you hiding from me?" Elizabeth said with puffy cheeks and an angry look that made her look more adorable than anything else.

Hi'kim's eyes looked to the side as he began to speak, "n...nothing, I just feared telling you how I was in the fifth circle of hell would make you worry too much," he said, chuckling nervously.

Leah stared in disbelief at what she was hearing, while the piggy bishop seemed to not care. His eyes were too busy being glued to Elizabeth's booty, which seemed to want to make itself known as her robe shaped its outline.

"Come on now, do you really expect us to believe that bullshit? Your father is a powerful wizard, and no one is doubting that. For him to just be able to travel to hell and back, no wizard could just do that!" Leah argued.

"The river, this morning..." the young wizard simply responded.

"The river, what about..." Leah's mind returned to their encounter with the goddess of magic herself.

"Oh, a little excitement, and you completely forget the morning's events. You can just tell that you aren't meant to be an adventurer," he poked fun at the redhead, making her blush in embarrassment.

"Enough, let's just keep moving before kobolds or something else comes raining down on us," the bishop said with annoyance in his voice. How dare he flirt with my whores in front of me. Maybe I should use it to keep those two whores in their place, the bishop thought as he started walking ahead.

"What crawled up his ass and died?" Hi'kim asked with a snort.

"Oh, the same thing that crawled into our hers," Leah responded, laughing while she smacked Elizabeth's booty playfully.

The four of them continued walking through the forest, and the rest of the week's travel to the town of Engalwood was uneventful, for the most part. Hi'kim noticed from time to time how Elizabeth would disappear or even show up with flushed skin and messy hair. But when asked about it, she would brush it off as the weather or atmosphere messing with her, or she just didn't take the time to fully prepare herself properly that morning, and it was now showing.

Hi'kim wasn't stupid; however, he knew his girlfriend very well, which only made him more curious. But every time he tried to delve deeper into the questioning, he was either cut off or had the topic changed completely by Elizabeth, who knew him just as well as he knew her. Hence, she knew how to evade his line of questioning.

On the first day of the second week, the group found themselves in an equally uneventful situation. They had covered more ground than initially planned and were two-thirds of the way to the town. Instead of pushing forward, the group had decided to make camp a little earlier that day.

This time, instead of Hi'kim conjuring the entire camp for them, Elizabeth decided that the four would divide the duties of making the campsite, much to the surprise of the other three.

"Hi'kim, dear. We've just been depending on you to conjure up everything instead of actually experiencing the journey to its fullest," the cleric said as she approached the dark-skinned wizard.

"H-hold on there, Elizabeth. None of us were rangers, hunters, or survivalists. Don't you think you were asking for a bit much? I'll admit we depended on those oh-so-cozy dimensional tents Hi'kim conjures up, but think of the alternative! Cold ground! Barely any shelter protecting us from the elements, no privacy!" Leah argued back.

"Well, Leah, I understand the convenience of Hi'kim's magic, but relying on them constantly makes us complacent. This is a chance for us to truly grasp fending for ourselves on our way and truly connect with the journey," Elizabeth insisted.

Leah had scoffed, crossing her arms. "Connect with the journey? I'd rather have connected with a warm, comfortable bed. It wasn't about complacency; it was about survival and comfort. Hi'kim's magic made this journey more bearable, and we weren't trying to be adventurers here, Elizabeth; hell, even you weren't. You just wanted to be with Hi'kim. If he hadn't left the village, you'd still be back, opening your legs in his bed."

Elizabeth's face flushed with anger at Leah's words. "How dare you!" she exclaimed.

"Alright, alright, let's compromise," Hi'kim said. "We'll split the work. I'll set up the dimensional tents, and the rest of you can divide the tasks of putting the camp together."

Leah assumed responsibility for setting up a fire pit while Elizabeth ventured into the forest to hunt and gather food. Meanwhile, the bishop took charge of collecting firewood for the campfire. With each task assigned, the four of them got to work, determined to set up camp before the sun dipped below the horizon.

He sighed, more in disappointment than anything else. "I thought a woman of the cloth would know the value of finishing the work they start and diligence," the young wizard said, raising his hand as the shovel on the ground levitated up into his hand. Stabbing the shovel into the ground, he removed his black tunic before digging a hole for the fire pit.

"Ah, ah, sto...ah!" a woman moaned loudly in the forest.

"Mmm, so hot, so good. More, more, more!" a second woman called out.

Leah and Elizabeth were bent over, leaning against a tree, their arms trying to wrap around it to maintain their balance. Their robes pulled up and around their shapely asses, revealing their overflowing fuck holes.

Despite the generous size of Leah's round, supple ass, it paled in comparison to Elizabeth's voluptuous mound of flesh, which was twice its size and as soft and malleable as a cloud.

"Ahhh..." Elizabeth cried out again as her legs weakened, followed by a cry from Leah. In and out of their wet holes moved sets of pudgy fingers with fat chubby thumbs pressing against each of their clits.

"That's it, keep cumming," the piggy bishop commanded. "The more you cum, the more power that you pour into these lust seals is placed on both your abdomens.

"Aaahhhaaaa..." another loud scream came from the pair of women, their legs shaking uncontrollably as more fingers penetrated their cunts, pushing the fingers already inside deeper.

The piggy bishop began to mumble spells, causing the lust seals to glow bright pink.

"Please, master, it's too much! I'm gonna go insane from this," Leah begged as her face was flushed and covered in sweat.

"Oh, so now you remembered who your master was, huh, bitch? Yet you didn't do shit when that damn brat silenced me. You refused my command to tell me what the fuck the goddess wanted," the piggy bishop said angrily as he turned up the cunt's sensitivity even more, using the magic of the lust seal.

"No! No, stop it! Please, I'm sorry, master!" Leah cried out, tears falling from her eyes as her body convulsed with pleasure.

"Sorry isn't going to cut it, bitch. You need to be punished. Now, tell me, what the fuck does that damn goddess want with that damn brat?" the bishop commanded, his words filled with rage.

"Ahhhh!

"Ahhhh! She... she is his grandmother, master!" Leah said as she fell onto the ground, her body no longer able to hold itself up.

"Don't lie to me, bitch!" the piggy bishop angrily exclaimed, activating the lust sequence once more, heating up her cunt until it began to produce light steam.

"Ahhhh, master, master, it was too hot! Please fuck me! Please fuck me! Please fuck me!" Leah cried out, her ass waving in the air, mimicking the action of being fucked.

In the forest's depths, their forbidden encounter unfolded amidst the rustling leaves and the soft murmur of the wind. The canopy of trees above cast dappled shadows, adding to the secrecy of their liaison. Leah's cries mingled with the sounds of nature as if the forest itself bore witness to their illicit affair.

"No, bitch, I think I'll just let the lust break you. Consider it punishment for your actions," declared the piggy bishop with a cold edge to his voice.

Leah's heart raced with fear and anticipation as she gazed into the piggy bishop's eyes, seeing the darkness lurking within.

"And don't think that I've forgotten about you, bitch," he said, turning his attention to Elizabeth, who was already lost in ecstasy. Her glistening cunt oozed with her juices while her asshole continued to wink continuously.

The bishop licked his lips, enjoying the sight of Elizabeth's quivering holes and the sweet scent of her arousal. He could practically taste her pussy juice on his tongue, and it drove him wild with desire.

He could feel his cock growing hard, straining against the confines of his robes. His fingers thrust faster into their holes, his palm slapping Elizabeth's wet, swollen cunts with each finger penetration.

"Ahh, more, more, please, more!" Elizabeth screamed as she thrust her own ass back into his fingers, causing the bishop to smile smugly.

"Finally giving in, slut? Fine, I'll give you my dick. Just promise your body to me and promise never to touch that brat's cock again."

"N-no, no, I can't!" Elizabeth cried out, her eyes unfocused and glazed with lust.

The bishop frowned, increasing the heat of the lust seals.

"Noooooo!" the women screamed, their voices echoing through the forest.

"Open your mouth and say, "I am the slutty whore of the Bishop.'"

The bishop ordered, his voice stern and commanding.

"I-I am the s-slutty w-whore of the B-Bishop!" the Elizabeth stammered.

"S-swear to serve o-only your cock, w-worship only y-your cock, and never t-touch Hi'kim," Elizabeth repeated.

"Say, "I love your cock."

"I love your cock." the cleric obediently echoed.

"Good, now spread those fat ass cheeks wide open," he ordered, his voice filled with sadistic glee.

Elizabeth obeyed, reaching back and spreading their ass cheeks wide.

"Yes, just like that slut," the piggy bishop groaned.

He grabbed her waist, pulling her ass closer to his groin. He pressed the tip against her asshole, pushing past the tight ring of muscle.

The cleric screamed out at the top of her lungs as the bishop's cock stretched her tight asshole, filling her with a mixture of pain and pleasure. With each thrust, he claimed her body as his own, driving deeper into her until she felt like she would split in two and forcing her to tears. Yet, despite the agony, Elizabeth couldn't deny the overwhelming ecstasy that coursed through her veins, leaving her gasping for more as he stole the last virginity she had left.

Meanwhile, Leah lay sprawled on the forest floor, her body still twitching from the intense waves of lust that had washed over her. Her eyes were rolled back, and the only sign that she was even still alive was the twitching of her body and the overflow of her cunt that was constantly winking out of hunger for a cock that wasn't coming because she knew that she was being punished for disobeying her master. Yet, deep down, she craved his touch, yearning to be dominated by his primal desires.

As the bishop continued to pound into Elizabeth's quivering and rippling ass, the sounds of slapping flesh seemed to overtake the rest of the forest's natural sounds, with only her screams of pain and pleasure coming close to competing. It was a scene of raw dominance as the bishop grabbed Elizabeth's beautiful blonde hair and pulled it, causing her ass to tighten up—a dance between predator and prey that ended with the prey now being completely devoured, as nature intended, with no mercy or escape anywhere in sight for the prey.

"Yes, take it, slut, take it all," the bishop hissed through clenched teeth as he slammed his cock deep inside her, filling her bowels with his thick cum.

"M-master, I-I can't," the cleric whimpered, her body trembling.

"Shut up, bitch. You'll take whatever I give you," the piggy bishop growled, smacking her ass and eliciting a yelp of pain.

The bishop pulled his cock out of her ass, and Elizabeth gasped as she felt the thick glob of cum leaking out of her ravaged asshole. She collapsed to the forest floor, her body trembling with exhaustion and satisfaction, yet also with a lingering sense of shame and regret.

The piggy bishop smirked, sliding his cock back into his robes as he looked down at the two women at his feet. "Remember your place, sluts," he sneered before turning and walking away, leaving them alone in the forest.

After their encounter, the two women lay sprawled on the forest floor, exhausted from the ordeal.

"Where the hell are they?" Hi'kim muttered to himself as he sat next to the campfire. He had single-handedly put together the entire campsite, except for the fire and the tents, all without using any magic. It had been a few minutes past sunset, and the moon was rising in the sky.

As he grew worried about Elizabeth, Leah, and even the bishop, the young wizard slowly contemplated using the scrying spell to find them. They had long set out to do their tasks, while Leah had just disappeared, and there had been no sign of either for hours now.

Yet he had never violated Elizabeth's trust or privacy with divination magic; hell, he had never even read her thoughts or used telepathic communication with her without first asking her permission. Now, he contemplated using it to find her location without her consent.

Hi'kim sat by the campfire, wrestling with what to do. The thought of using divination magic without Elizabeth's consent weighed on him. He wondered if she would view it as a violation of her trust.

"It's interesting how these questions never came up when I learned magic from my father. He had no problems just using divination magic to spy on people or even on me," he said to himself as he poked at the campfire with a stick.

In the end, he couldn't bring himself to cross that line. Instead, he had decided to wait a little longer, hoping they would return soon. He trusted Elizabeth and Leah to care for themselves and each other if they were together. As for the bishop... he neither liked nor hated him, so what happened happened.

After a while, his worries got the better of him, and he stood up and started looking for them. He lifted his right hand, focusing mana into the palm of his hand.

"Ball of light!" The mana shot from his hand, forming a floating light ball that slowly circled around him.

"Let's see where you went, ladies," Hi'kim murmured, beginning his search.

Before his search commenced, a rustling sound caught his attention, and the bishop emerged from the bushes, followed by an exhausted-looking Elizabeth and Leah. As his companions emerged from the bushes, he couldn't help but notice the weariness in their eyes and the disheveled state of their appearance. Concern etched his features as he approached them.

"Elizabeth! Where were you? What happened? What took so long?" Hi'kim asked, rushing directly to the blonde cleric. Her face went from flushed to beet red as she couldn't look at him, let alone in the eyes.

Elizabeth glanced nervously at Hi'kim, her cheeks burning with embarrassment. "We... uh... we got a little lost," she stammered, avoiding his gaze.

Leah chimed in, trying to cover up their absence with a weak smile. "Yeah, we got turned around in the forest. But don't worry, we found our way back eventually."

Hi'kim narrowed his eyes, not entirely convinced by their explanation. Still, he decided not to press the issue further for now. "Well, as long as you're both safe," he said, though his tone showed a hint of suspicion.

The piggy bishop smiled smugly and walked past them, not bothering to acknowledge Hi'kim or his concern. Hi'kim watched him go, feeling a sense of unease settle in the pit of his stomach.

As the group settled back into camp, Hi'kim couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The bishop hadn't brought back firewood; Elizabeth, who had been acting strangely the whole week, now avoided looking at him. Not to mention, Leah had simply disappeared without bothering to finish setting up her part of the camp duties, leaving him to do it himself.

The young wizard opted to set aside his concerns for the time being. The bishop chose to retire to his tent early without eating, followed by both Leah and Elizabeth, who also opted for rest. However, instead of retiring to their own individual tents, they both elected to share a dimensional tent, expressing a desire for some girl talk tonight. Only Hi'kim remained seated by the open fire, cooking a small rabbit he had caught earlier in the day while awaiting their return.

As the aroma of cooking rabbit filled the air, Hi'kim's thoughts drifted back to the events of the evening. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss but couldn't quite put his finger on it. Despite his reservations, he tried to focus on the task at hand, watching the simmering rabbit as it cooked over the open flame.

As the minutes passed, Hi'kim found himself consumed by unanswered questions. What had truly occurred during their time lost in the forest?

_Why had Elizabeth and Leah been behaving so oddly? Back in the village, they had been close friends. Elizabeth used to share stories about the things Leah taught her in the church, and they always seemed to share laughter and smiles. _Hi'kim pondered this while staring at the rabbit caramelizing on the stick, its aroma wafting tantalizingly.

Since the trip began, Elizabeth seemed to be avoiding everyone. Had something happened? If something was wrong, she would tell me, right? She knows I love her and would do anything... Wait, is that it? Is the problem that I haven't been affectionate enough and shown her I care? I still remember the tears on her face when my chaos spell went out of control, so she has no problem expressing her love for me, but have I truly done the same? The young wizard's eyes shot open at the realization, and another dawned on him: he actually didn't have an example of how to appropriately show his love for the cleric. All his life, it had just been his father and him. In contrast, almost every other interaction with the opposite sex had been strictly platonic or sexually intimate, not romantic.

Hi'kim sighed heavily, feeling a wave of guilt wash over him. He realized that he had been so focused on his own concerns and power that he had neglected to properly show Elizabeth how much she meant to him. It was a sobering realization that made him feel ashamed of himself.

"Starting tomorrow, you were going to come first, Elizabeth. I promise you that," he whispered softly, raising his right hand slightly. This caused the fully cooked rabbit on a stick to levitate off the ground and float towards him. The dark-skinned wizard leaned forward towards the meat and took a bite out of it as the sounds of nature gently played in his ears.
