Dungeon Master 8

by Eric Vall

  “You would have us build it, sire?” Makar asked as he turned and looked out over the still burning city in the distance.

  “If you will, I want each piece of this place to be a reminder of what we did together,” I told them, and I reached out and placed a heavy hand on Ansel’s shoulder. “You are my brothers, my blood, and my servants. You will never be apart from me as I will never be apart from you. Each of you will hold a seat in my house for the rest of eternity, you put your faith in me, and I earned your trust. I reward those who stay by my side.”

  “You don’t have to do anything for us, Master,” Makar broke in. “You’ve already given us so much. You brought us the trade route, which for one has made Valasara flourish in ways I never thought possible. You rid us of our tyrant, and now all of our people have access to fresh, running water. You did all of those things for us without asking.”

  “Makar is right,” Ansel nodded with a soft smile. “Tamarisch is wealthier than it has ever been. The iron we’ve sold has given us enough food to feed all of our smaller villages, and now they’re expanding faster than we expected. We’re a stronger nation because of you.”

  “We haven’t been under the control of Master for very long now,” Ezra started, and all eyes swiveled to the cat-man. “But my father is very old and losing his hearing rapidly, he can no longer travel to and from cities in search of rare books to add to our collection. With the trade route in place, my father can send and receive books from our procurers without leaving the safety of the library. My sister used to do it for him while I was away in the navy, but then she met Master and became one of his minions. The trade route has helped our family immensely, and I know our Master will take care of us in the future.”

  “Master has helped us out too,” Shida stated as he wrapped his hands around the handle of his war hammer. “We too had a tyrant for a leader, and Master took him out. We had a goddess on our island that we loved very much, but our leader twisted our views and made us do terrible things to our own people. Once he was gone, Master showed us a new way of life, and we are much happier now than we have ever been.”

  I bowed my head and listened to their words of praise. When I took their land as my own, I assumed that they would revolt against me, but these people were happier under my control. It pleased me to know that I’d done each of them and their nations a good service.

  “We will do whatever you ask, Master,” Ansel stated as he held out his hand to me. “We will build you and your women a city that you deserve. We will wipe the old Galencia from history and replace it with your empire.”

  “Galencia who?” Amos asked, and Adam whipped to him with a confused expression as he scratched the top of his head.

  “Never heard of it, is it a foreign food?” the oldest twin asked back, and Amos pursed his lips.

  “No, I heard it’s one of the undergarments royal ladies wear under their dresses,” Amos corrected, and I chuckled deep in the back of my throat at their jokes.

  “Now, for tonight, I want all of you to patrol around the camp. Make sure that no one sneaks in, the mages are on high alert and may attempt a sortie against us while we’re sleeping. We will not allow that to happen successfully, and if they try tomorrow morning, we will march through the destroyed wall with their corpses impaled on our flags.”

  “Yes, Master.” Ansel grinned hatefully as he and his brothers turned away.

  Each of my regents nodded to me in time then left me alone at the single table. The light from the lanterns around me was soft and hazy as I closed the book we’d found in Athar’s dungeon. I slipped the tome into my void pocket and patted its worn, leather cover.

  Silence enveloped the encampment, and I walked through the mazes of tents until I reached the wall. I strode to it and then leaned my back against it as I looked out over the tents. I sensed no disturbances or foreign beating hearts, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. From here, I could make out the shapes of my women’s tent and the smaller one they’d built for Heijing. A soft flickering light came from inside the Qianlong’s tent, and I could tell that she was still awake from the slow beating of her heart.

  I focused in on it, and it gave me comfort. I’d given the Qianlong a gift that no other person could, the souls of her parents now resided within her and would stay with her until the end of time. It gave me a strange sense of pride, I’d found the last Qianlong on earth and made her one of my women. Sometime in the future, I’d marry her like all of her sisters and place one of my holy children within her.

  The Akalong and Qianlong tribes’ bloodlines would not die off with Heijing, if the dragon and I were to have a child, it would be a full-blooded dragon. I knew that gave Heijing’s parents peace, knowing that their kind would not die off with their only daughter. The two of us would repopulate the earth with dragons, and they would no longer be an extinct species.

  I tore my eyes away from Heijing’s tent and began to walk along the wall toward the other side of the camp. I kept a wary eye on the parapets over my head, but no movement came from above or below. I stepped past Ruituri and the other gods’ camp. The grey-haired goddess was snug within her blank cocoon, and I dared not disturb her. I sensed Domor, Bellum, and Malsumis’ powers from within their tents and quickly moved past.

  All of my soldiers seemed to be sleeping well the night before our largest battle as of late. I was eager to break down the second wall and waltz into the Elder’s inner sanctum. I wanted nothing more than to destroy Galencia and completely remove it from the history books. As my women and I journeyed to the heavens, all of my armies would destroy what was left of the Holy Order’s capital. They’d replace it with my newly built empire, and I would sit upon the throne as the only god and lord.

  My hopes and dreams were at my fingertips, and all I had to do was reach out and grab them. All the things I’d dreamed about while I was trapped in my dungeon were coming true, and it was all thanks to my minions. Without them, I would’ve never been set free from that dark, dank place and made it out into the world. They’d breathed new life into me, and the only thing I could do was give them everything they wanted in return. I was so lucky to have them, and then to have found Haruhi and Heijing along the way. I’d built myself a new little family, and it was flourishing before my very eyes as the two children within Rana and Annalise’s bodies grew unbelievably fast.

  In order to make the journey all of my women except for Heijing would need to carry my holy seed within them, and soon they would. I was nervous and equally excited to return to the gods’ realm. This wouldn’t be a pleasurable visit, but once we finished there, I had so much I wanted to show my women. I’d seen the places where they were born and where they grew up, and this was my chance to show them the places from all my memories finally.

  Though that place was the source of all of my bad memories, it was also a place where I’d had a few good times. The heavens were where I met Euron, the closest thing I had to a friend in the god’s realm. The god I once knew was dead now, but I still held his memory close to my heart. I would take them to the garden where we played as children, the place where the Tichádáma would watch us play. Though I despised the gods and what they’d done to me, I couldn’t fault all of them. A few of them were good and kind, but they were few and far between.

  My parents hadn’t loved me, even from the moment I was born, and they’d instilled hate in me any chance that they could. They planted it like a seed within my tiny body and watched it grow to fruition then passed me on to Eris to take care of. When I took my place as the God of the Underworld, all the hate and rage I’d learned growing up had been so useful, and I was praised for my ferocity. Then, just as suddenly as I was plunged into the depths of the Underworld, I was summoned up onto the surface of the earth. That was when I discovered Isolda, and I fell madly in love with the human.

  My life was forever changed after meeting her, she was so beautiful and kind, unlike the gods I knew. She looked upon me and saw something good instead of an
abomination. The witch fell in love with me as quickly and easily as I did with her. I spent as much time with her as I could, and she pledged her life and love to me for the rest of her days. I knew now that despite having to live on without me, she remained steadfast in her promises.

  I turned toward the massive wall and felt Isolda’s descendant’s heart-pounding from inside. We’d rescue and set her free by tomorrow. I was anxious to look into her face and see the resemblance between her and my long lost love. I wondered if she was anything like the woman I’d met so long ago or if she were a completely different person. From the snippet the god’s had shown me, she held the same spit-fire temper that Isolda did but other than that, I had no idea.

  I sighed softly as I again turned and moved my eyes over the camp. In the distance, I could make out the shadows of my regents as they circled the entire camp and made sure that no mages were close. I came to the end of the sea of our tents, stood there for a few minutes as I sensed out any unfamiliar presences. I breathed in the damp hair for a moment but felt nothing amiss.

  I walked back to where I started slowly but kept my eyes peeled for any danger. It took about fifteen minutes to reach the four gods’ camp again, and by then, I felt something strange. One of my minion’s hearts was beating wildly, almost as if she were in danger. My eyes found Heijing’s tent in the mass of tents, and her shadow moved wildly inside.

  Panic beat at my brain as I broke out into a run and forced my body forward. I leaped over an unsuspecting soldier’s tent, slammed down onto the cobblestones and kept going. I was soundless as I moved, if Heijing was being attacked, I didn’t want to tip off her assailant that I was coming. I jumped over the still-burning embers of our fire, landed on the other side in front of Heijing’s tent then stood there for a second as I realized my mistake.

  I could hear whispered words from inside of the tent along with slick, wet sounds that I barely registered. My lips parted as my gloved hand went to the tent flap and opened it painstakingly slow. The view that was presented to me wasn’t what I expected at all, and I gulped loudly.

  “Master!” Heijing cried as she threw her head back. “Yes, Master!”

  It took me a moment to realize that Heijing wasn’t in her human form or her dragon form. The Qianlong was transformed into something in between the two. A long-scaled tail hung down between her legs and was covered in scales the same cerulean color. Tendrils like those from her crest poked out of her hairline and floated in the air above her blue hair.

  Heijing’s robe was thrown open, and she was completely nude underneath. Her small, bare breasts rose and fell with her breath. Pubic hair the same cerulean blue adorned her mound, but that wasn’t what caught my eye. Heijing’s pale, thin legs were spread wide to reveal the pink rosebud of her womanhood, and her tail curled up between her legs. I watched with wide eyes as the end of her tail entered into her vagina and slowly began to pleasure herself.

  The Qianlong’s eyes were tightly closed as she cried out, and her small hands fluttered up to grasp at her pert breasts. I felt myself stiffen immediately at the sight of her, Heijing was pleasuring herself before my very eyes but also pleasuring herself to the thought of me.

  Silently, I stripped my armor away from my muscular body then let my pants drop to the floor. My member stood straight as a rod, ready to enter into the dragon’s body as I lowered myself to the ground and crawled my way to her.

  Heijing’s moans heightened almost to the point of screams, and she bit down on the back of her hand to keep herself quiet. The Qianlong still hadn’t noticed my presence, and I moved in closer to her beating heart. I could tell that Heijing was close to orgasm from the way her chest rose and fell and right before she reached her peak, I spoke in my deep, sensual voice.

  “Why would you do that when you could have the real thing?” I inquired in a hot, breathy voice, and Heijing’s eyes snapped open. “You are my minion now, I can pleasure you whenever you wish, Heijing. Will you allow me to enter you and give you the pleasure that you’ve never known before?”

  Heijing’s icy blue eyes cut into mine for a moment then softened as she laid back onto her pillows and blankets. The Qianlong slipped her tail out of her entrance, and I gazed upon its beauty. I positioned myself over her, and the head of my penis grazed her lips softly.

  Heijing was tiny, smaller than all of my other minions, and I felt as if I pressed down on her, I would crush her completely. I gripped her shoulder softly as I took my hardened penis into my hands and guided it into her. Illustrious moans escaped my mouth as I slid into her tight walls. I felt a barrier within her suddenly break, and the Qianlong cried out in pain.

  I stared down at her in the flickering light of the candles, and Heijing looked absolutely stunning. Her pale flesh glowed from a light sheen of sweat, and her icy blue eyes were glossy. Her small round cheeks were tinted pink as she breathed in deeply. Her expression was pained since this was her very first time, but she nodded to tell me it was time to continue.

  I thrust into her softly and felt her walls part to give room for me. I hadn’t been inside of her long, and I already felt lightheaded with the peak of orgasm. I pulled away from that feeling and stared deeply down into the dragon’s eyes. Heijing’s slim legs wrapped around my waist as she brought her hips up to meet mine, and I gasped loudly.

  Heijing felt unbelievably good, and as I pushed into her, the dragon cried out even louder. She clung onto me tightly as I began to move even faster inside of her, and her pained expression began to fade. Ecstasy took over as her lips found mine, and we drank from each other. Heijing’s scaled tail wrapped around my leg and tightened around me as she signaled for me to move faster.

  I pounded into her tight tunnel and grunted into her shoulder. The only sounds that surrounded us were the wet sounds of our bodies slapping together in the throes of passion. Heijing’s voice cried out each time I moved inside of her, and her voice was so sweet to me.

  I knew this was what she wanted, I could have guessed that she wanted this from the moment we met in the sanctuary when I saved her from the sorcerer. I had to admit to myself, that I’d wanted her too from the moment I laid eyes upon her. Heijing was mesmerizing in so many ways, and at this moment, I couldn’t keep my hands off her creamy skin.

  I thrust into her wildly as I hung my head back, and the Qianlong held onto me tightly. Heijing moaned loudly, on the verge of screaming as her convulsing walls tightened around me while I slammed into her. I watched as her eyes widened, and her mouth fell open at the intensity of her orgasm. I moved within her, not letting the peak end, and as I thrust even faster, a second orgasm followed right after it.

  Our sweaty bodies slapped into each other deliriously, and each time Heijing came, I pressed tender kisses to her lips and face. This was the Qianlong’s first time, and this solidified her place in my family. I’d claimed her virginity, and now she was forever mine, and mine alone.

  I smashed my lips to her as the dragon’s hips bucked against me in her tenth orgasm. Her chest heaved as sweat dripped down her forehead, and I knew it was time. Heijing couldn’t take it anymore, I’d fill her up with my love, and now, it was time for me to spill my god seed within her.

  It didn’t matter if I got Heijing pregnant tonight, the Qianlong could travel to the heavens with or without my help, but from the way she looked into my eyes, I knew that she wanted to carry my child.

  I would give it to her now.

  I grunted loudly as I gripped the dragon by her thin hips, flipped over onto my sweaty back and slammed her back down on my cock. Heijing’s dripping walls welcomed me as she threw back her head and screamed in ecstasy this time. The Qianlong rode me, using her legs to buck her hips against me, and I felt the heat build in my lower belly. I gritted my teeth and leaned my head back against the pillows as I felt the orgasm rise to the surface.

  Heijing may have been a virgin, but from the way she moved on top of me, it felt as if she were very well-experienced. I’d trained all of my min
ions in the ways of pleasure, but it seemed that Heijing already knew what to do. Her walls tightened around me one last time as she orgasmed and this was enough to send me over the edge.

  I grabbed the Qianlong by the hips, lifted her up slightly and pounded into her quivering womanhood. My seed came rushing out of me like a wave and exploded up into Heijing’s womb as she cried out even louder. Each time I brought the dragon down on my penis, more seed poured inside of her vagina, and she continued to ride me until I was empty, and her tiny body was filled to the brim. Heijing was so warm inside from my frothy seed, and when I lay the Qianlong down beside me, it left a white trail on the bed.

  Heijing glanced down at it, blushed up to her ears, and then giggled. I brought her small, nude body to my side and held her there. I was not only her Master now but also her lover, just as we both had desired.

  “Thank you, Master,” Heijing whispered sensually in my ear, and when I glanced down at her, her blue eyes looked heated again.

  “For what?” I chuckled as I pressed a soft kiss to her forehead.

  “For placing your fertile seed within me,” Heijing stated slowly as her hand traced circles across my chiseled stomach. “Would it be too much…to ask for some more?”

  I chuckled, gripped her by the arms, and rolled over on top of her. My member instantly hardened as I moved to enter her for the second time tonight.

  “As you wish, my love,” I whispered into her ear. “But I will warn you, I won’t be so gentle this time.”

  Chapter Eight

  I awoke the next morning to the smell of rain and the crack of thunder. As I sat up from the makeshift bed of blankets and pillows, Heijing shifted, and her icy blue eyes fluttered open. Her expression was grim, and she hastily dressed as I pulled my armor over to me telekinetically. We stepped out of the tent together to gray skies and an explosion of thunder from above. The weather should have been an omen to the mages, death was knocking at their door, and there was nothing they could do to stop it.
