Get ready to travel

You're too tired to do anything useful, so you roll on your back and stare first at the beautiful early morning sky and then at your companions. With their recent orgasms both Anya and Xallia are in the same state you are. Yulia and Glenda still have some energy and thanks to them you're soon enjoying a basic but hearty breakfast.

Since there's water nearby you all wash up after finishing your food and it's then that Xallia discovers a small problem. She didn't bother getting dressed during breakfast and is now attempting to put on her black gown. It's obvious that the garment is a little tight around the hips and very tight at chest level.

You have to giggle slightly at the succubus' predicament. That sets off each of the other girls, even Xallia having a little laugh at how ridiculous she looks. She pulls it back off and attempts to slip on the spare dark blue dress with even less success. "There's nothing for it," she says, checking over the gowns. "I barely fit in this one before, no chance I'll manage to now."

"We could get it altered," says Yulia, stooping to pick up the discarded garments and running her fingers over the soft, rich fabric. You guess these clothes are worth a few dozen times more than the simple, rugged traveller's dress Yulia's wearing.

"Altered? What does that mean?" asks Xallia, sounding genuinely curious. Anya and Yulia explain how clothes can be altered and fitted as needed. "Huh," says Xallia. "I never ran into that. Whenever I dealt with clothes before I was just told to grab something from a wardrobe or handed them by a summoner. 'Here, put these on,' they'd tell me while averting their eyes."

"Why summon a succubus and then get her to cover up?" asks Yulia.

"It's a good idea if you're not sure whether you can resist my wiles," replies Xallia. "Though it wasn't always helpful. You know well what a tease I can be, clothed or no." She smiles slightly and adds, "Of course there are exceptions. One older mage got me dressed up in all manner of finery, caught me in an ironclad contract and then took me out to a party as his date. Very shrewd. His rival 'wooed' me away just as my summoner expected and I drew out every drop of mana he had. For reference, that is how you use a summoned succubus. His rival was probably out of commission for weeks and I went back to the daemon realm flush with energy and pleased as punch."

The daemons are sure to come this way, so you send Yulia into town with some supplies and apprentice robes to barter for fresh food, sewing supplies and other useful items. Since everyone in town was busy last night no one saw what any of you were dressed like - save for Xallia, who was using an illusion to look like her feminine self. There again as she's an illusionist the daemons won't be able to work off of her appearance.

While the rest of you wait Anya says, "Xallia - yesterday you said that you made some women more fertile. I was taught that only the Burning Rose can do something like that."

Xallia nods and says, "It's true that only the Burning Rose can actually make a woman more fertile. I suppose that means I'm now the first daemon to have the chance to learn that ability. But if there's one thing daemons are good at it's bending the rules. Yesterday I moved fertility around, woman to woman."

"How is that even possible?" asks Glenda.

"Short answer - magic. Long answer... all sorts of magic, like healing, curses and such move life energy around. Daemons can't create fertility - or we would do it all the time. For the spell you take two women, both of whom aren't fertile just yet and convince some of that fertility to move from one to the other. One woman becomes barren that month, but suffers no permanent harm. The other becomes fertile early - about half the time. The magic isn't perfect, lots of little things can upset the balance. But yesterday, for my purposes, making a woman temporarily barren and making a woman extra fertile were equally useful. No baby at all or almost guaranteed to be knocked up by a man that same day."

"What about Yulia?" you ask.

"No, as soon as I decided I'd like her to accompany us I left her belly alone. There's a reason daemons never use the spell in the daemon realms. Fifty fifty odds are fine when you only have a few hours or minutes in a village or city but if the girl is coming with you it's better to wait and seed her at nature's own pace." She puts a hand on her skin just above her pussy and drums her fingers. "Though in this case it seems haste was the better choice."

Glenda puts her arms around Xallia and says, "Not at all. This way love has a chance to blossom. When you finally do get the chance to share your seed with Yulia both of you will be all the more joyous."

Anya kisses Xallia's neck and says, "Yeah, I wish our first time I hadn't been half crazed by imp venom. That's why I'm looking forward to our wedding night, when I get to give myself to you truly and freely. On that night I want us to pretend that it's our first time."

Glenda hugs Xallia a little more tightly and agrees. "Yes, on our special night I will give myself truly and freely, just as Anya will. I find it difficult to remember our first time and I would like to make new and wonderful memories to fill that gap." You didn't see it yourself, but you know Xallia entranced and then **** Glenda before you found them.

"Okay," Xallia replies. Then she does something that surprises you: she sniffles. You can see the wetness in the corners of her eyes as she fights back tears. "And you Sabine? What do you think about our first time?"

Seeing how emotional she is you think carefully and then reply, "I regret nothing. I gave myself to you and expected you would just pour your cum into me, treat me as nothing more than a convenient womb for your offspring. Instead you made sure I enjoyed it, despite myself."

You get up and sit on Xallia's lap, looking into her still wet eyes. "I am also looking forward to my wedding night as, I'm sure, is Yulia. But I do not regret this. Our daughters will be strong, beautiful and just" With that you take Xallia's hand and press it firmly against your belly. She starts to cry in earnest.

Anya takes her hand next and plants it against her own belly. "I don't regret this either, just the imp venom part. And my sore bum. But I really do want to pretend it's our first time on our wedding night, cause that will be really sexy." Xallia laughs despite her tears when Anya adds, "I know you want another chance to seduce naive, virginal Anya, don't you?"

Glenda takes Xallia's hand in hers and says, "Yes, there are things I would wish to change. But not the results. Especially not this result," she says, gently holding Xallia's hand against her stomach just as both you and Anya have. "I would never have escaped the abbey, learned of such joys - even the joy of motherhood. Xallia, I forgive you." And with that she kisses Xallia first on each horn, then on her lips.

From behind you comes Yulia's voice. "Looks like I can't leave you alone for more than a few minutes."

"It's not what it looks like," you try to explain. For once you're having a genuine moment with Xallia, no sex involved even though she's stark naked. Yulia eventually says she believes you, but you suspect that's just to cut the argument short so she can get Anya and Glenda's help with the dresses.

You would help, but even Glenda heard about your reputation when it comes to sewing. Ivona used to have to help you with sewing and darning, just as you helped her with some of the prayers and texts. You try not to let your mind wander - you don't want to think about all the fates she may have met.

Within an hour the dresses have been made to fit. It's not absolutely perfect, but it will certainly pass inspection. The black gown is still pretty tight on Xallia, but she describes it as 'liveable'. It only took a little encouraging to get Yulia to wear the dark blue dress. It's original owner wasn't too well endowed so it doesn't have to be taken in too much to accommodate Yulia's little bee stings. It's still a bit short for her, but not inexcusably so - her socks are tall enough not to expose her calves.

You know that you've burned up quite a bit of the morning, but it's been well worth it. Everyone is in better spirits, Xallia's no longer working against you and both she and Yulia have sworn the oaths of the Burning Rose. Now you just have to hope the rest of the trip to Gerlangen is quick and uneventful.
