Not trouble precisely

Having been provided with a cart and horses by the good people of Lewruck you have the chance to pick up the pace. Horses alone would have been preferable, but neither Anya nor Xallia have any riding experience, so all of you decided the cart would probably end up being faster. In fact it proves quite a bit faster as Xallia's daily need for sex can be sated while on the move, something that would have been difficult and dangerous on horseback.

After just a day's travel you say goodbye to the Blauwalt forest. You knew the victory road became safer after Lewruck, but combined with the greater speed of travel by cart it seems like the miles disappear. Where Gerlangen once seemed a far off goal, something not yet worth worrying about, now it feels like you should arrive any day now. That's comforting, as you will be able to discharge your duty and hand them the sword, but it also gives you pangs of worry. What will the high abbess have to say about your daemons of the burning rose? How to explain the daemon children growing in your bellies? Will your promise for a four way marriage to a succubus ever come to pass? Xallia seems to know what's troubling you. She makes a point of watching for those times when you go quiet and your body fills with stress. She doesn't solve any problems, but she makes sure to take your mind off things.

Even with the sex she's getting Xallia suggests stopping over in every village you pass. She's insatiable, and each time she whispers about how much energy she could draw from these people - energy they won't miss, energy that would once again see her sporting a heavy, tasty cock. Thankfully she's still far more submissive that when you first met her so you, Anya and Glenda are able to talk her out of it. Yulia never does - she wants to join the rest of you and carry Xallia's baby so much that she stays quiet whenever it comes up.

You feel for them both. You definitely don't want to face an argument over impregnating a freshly ordained sister with a daemon child once you reach Gerlagen. The result is that each time is that a village is quickly warned of the danger, then you offer your own body to sate Xallia's needs and build her strength. Anya, Glenda and Yulia all point out that you are the most effective fighter they've got, so they should take care of Xallia instead. The day usually ends with an orgy, four weakened sisters and one sister succubus who's underfed yet content.

Three days in and you're trying to get your thigh muscles to stop twitching. Your greedy, grinning succubus just watched Anya lick you until you went senseless. You know she was a virgin - how did she manage to learn to do that so quickly? Xallia cuddles against you, rubbing one of her horns against the side of your head. On your other side Yulia has taken up position, both holding you up and nuzzling her head against your shoulder."When did I get so popular?" you ask no one in particular. "The boys in the village never paid this much attention to me."

"Mmmm, and when did you leave your village?" asks Xallia.

"I bet they did and you didn't notice," says Yulia at almost the same time.

"Oh, that makes more sense," Xallia replies. "How many hearts did Sabine break without even knowing it? How many poor village boys had to whack off to the thought of her lovely bottom before they could sleep?"

"Would it be that bum or those perky breasts?"

"What about if she smiled at one of them?"

You feel yourself going red and pinch their nipples. "Knock it off you two. I swear I'm riding with the dirtiest minded girls to ever claim the title of sister."

"Oh there are lots of dirty minded sisters, I'm sure" Xallia says, holding your hand to her breast.

"We just finished."

"You're right, I'm being bad... punish me?"

You have to laugh at that. You twist your hand, taking Xallia's hand in yours and moving them from her breast to your belly. Yulia sees this and covers both your hands with hers. From experience you know this is one of the few positions that calms Xallia. Even though no one, not even the mothers themselves, can feel the babies yet Xallia goes all gooey when she's reminded of the seeds she planted within you all.

You stay like that for some amount of time. Even though you're looking out for trouble it's still so peaceful, so right, that you aren't worrying. Somehow things will work out as long as these women stand by you. It's quite the shock when Xallia's head and then her body jerks away from you. She's standing up in the cart, staring at a hill that's just come into view as a copse of trees ended.

"We have to..." she casts her eyes around.

"What's wrong?" asks Glenda from the cart's bench seat.

Xallia turns to you. "There's a town coming up. Somewhere over there." She motions toward about a quarter of the horizon across from the hill. "Please, please, we have to go there. I'm... please."

You've never seen her like this. She's obviously on the verge of tears.

Anya, driving the cart, slows the horses and says "There was a big fork in the road about a quarter day back. Big enough to have a signpost - one side went to Gerlagen and Tymon, the other went east toward Kaplis and Veranna".

Xallia nods to herself and looks to you. In a whisper she says "Veranna".
