The Mage's Passion

by Reed James

  “Not by choice,” I huffed. “You ran.”

  Chaun sat up. “I panicked. I shouldn't have run. I saw the mage's soul get ripped out and...” He shook his head. “Why did I agree?”

  “Agree to what?” I asked.

  “To come with you,” he answered. “I thought I could handle this, but...” He stood up and bowed. “I am deeply sorrowful for my cowardice.”

  “You should be. We could have used your music and—”

  “Sophia,” Angela interrupted. “Slave.”

  I stiffened. “Yes, Mistress?”

  “I seem to recall a spoiled brat that fell from a horse and ran in fear before she mastered it.”

  I blushed. The fight with the panthopus seemed so long ago.

  “Chaun isn't a warrior. He panicked. But he can learn, like you did, to control his fear and fight.” Angela stroked my cheeks. “Today, you didn't flinch once. You were amazing. I love you, Sophia.”

  My heart burst for joy as Angela kissed me hard. I didn't care that Chaun watched me.

  Thrak

  The spirits broke apart. I swung at them with my ax, screaming out my rage. They fled into the walls where I could not follow. How could I kill them if they fled? I punched my fist into the wall, ignoring the pain shooting up my arm.

  A woman groaned. I whirled around. She sat up at the end of the hallway. She shook her head. I gripped my ax. Someone I could kill. Someone I could vent my rage upon. She had to die. I let out a bellowing snarl.

  Another part of me screamed a warning. The weak part of me. The part that feared the strength of the rage. I ignored it. I would kill this woman.

  “Thrak?” the woman asked. “Oh, no.”

  I charged.

  Her hands deftly pulled open her robes. Pale breasts spilled out. She spread her thighs, revealing a brown-furred pussy. She undulated her hips and let out the most wanton, lust-filled moan. Her hands squeezed her tits, an offering.

  “Thrak,” she purred. “Come and take me. Satiate your rage in my body. Plunge your cock in me.”

  My emotions had to have an outlet. Rage. Lust. Passion. They were all the same. I threw down my ax, hiked up my kilt, and plunged into her flesh. She sank hot and warm about my cock. She gasped and writhed beneath me as I fucked her hard, pinning her against the wall.

  I was not gentle. I did not care about her pleasure at all. The fact she gasped and shuddered beneath me only proved how wanton she was. She was a slut that loved my brutal fucking. Her tight, hot, wet flesh gripped my cock.

  “Yes, yes, yes,” she gasped, clawing my back as I rutted in her.

  My heavy balls smacked against her flesh. My cock ached in her flesh. Her pussy convulsed about my dick. She wanted my cum. The little slut. She gasped and begged for it as she heaved beneath my body.

  “Cunt,” I bellowed as I slammed my dick into her. “My cunt.”

  “Yes, Thrak,” she moaned, her hard nipples rubbing on my scarred chest. “Your cunt. Claim it. Cum in me.”

  With a mighty bellow, I slammed my dick into her. My lust pumped into her pussy. My release exploded out of me. All the pent up rage and passion had its release. I thrust a final time and then collapsed on her small form.

  “Faoril,” I groaned, my vision growing normal. I sucked in huge breaths. “Faoril.”

  “It's me,” she panted beneath me. “Damn, I'm going to be walking funny for a week.”

  “Did I hurt you?” I swallowed. I hated the rage.

  “In the best way possible,” she moaned. “Mmm, you fuck so hard when you're raging. Damn, it's a wonderful ache.”

  I leaned down and kissed my mage. She was alive. Thank the gods.

  Journeyman Mage Faoril

  Thrak's cum dripped out of me as I walked down the tunnel. Everyone followed me. There was no more danger. I was free of the pain and rage of the Queen Kazodi's wraith. It had been terrible, and I only experienced it for a short time.

  The dwarves and the mage with her had been in her torment for centuries. I wanted to weep, but I had a job to do. We were here for the adamantium. My magic guided me. I had plenty of it. Thrak came a lot in my pussy.

  I suspected the rage accelerated the production of his sexual fluids. I should write a paper about that.

  I shook my head and then paused, touching the wall. “Here it is.”

  Angela stood up next to me. Her shield still glowed pink from Sophia's spell. “Is it enough?”

  I nodded my head. I reached in with my earth magic. The ore was in a small vein, missed by the dwarves. The wall before me undulated like it was made of liquid as I drew the metal closer and closer. I held out my hand as the silvery orbs popped out. I had leached the metal out of the ore, skipping the refining process.

  The orbs fell into my hand. Using earth magic, I merged them together into a single ball no bigger than my fist. It was warm to my touch. I shuddered. I held the wealth of nations in my hand. I turned and handed it over to Angela.

  “Once we have the pieces, I can reforge the sword,” I told her.

  A smile crossed her lips. She slipped it into her pouch with the piece of the sword. “Well, now we just have to figure out how to get into the vault of the Saltspray Palace in Rartha to get the next sword piece.”

  Sophia said, “Well, I think I know where we'll find the silent thief. I just hope she's sexy.”

  “Or has a big cock,” I teased the acolyte.

  She blanched. “Aren't Thrak and Chaun enough for you, Faoril?”

  “Oh, Thrak will always be enough for me, but variety does spice life nicely.”

  Sophia squirmed. We had three companions to still find, four pieces of the High King's sword, and we had to kill the Minotaur. All so we could face the most feared dragon that has ever existed in the world—Dominari.

  Incessae – Ruins of Khan, The Kingdom of Haz

  My sister appeared, a sneer across her lips. The diamond studs that pierced her cheeks glinted. Ultionae hovered before me, her black-feathered wings flapping. She gripped her flaming sword in one hand. I tightened the grip on my flaming spear.

  “What do you want, Incessae?” Ultionae demanded. “You've already botched one attempt to kill Angela.”

  “We must work together, sister,” I answered, fighting down my annoyance. “Injuriae fell already.”

  “That little slut probably let herself be captured. She was always the weakest of us.”

  “And Angela has grown strong. She has a bard of Az with her.”

  Ultionae frowned.

  “That is why I was unable to kill her. She is surrounded by powerful allies. If we are to deliver Mother's vengeance, then we must work together.” Never had the three of us worked together. Each of my erinyes sisters preferred to work alone.

  “A bard?”

  “Skilled. A changeling, one already adept at seduction.” I stared at my sister. “If we do not work together, then apart we shall both fall to his seduction. Angela will escape Mother's vengeance. Unity is our only way.”

  “Agreed,” nodded Ultionae after several heartbeats, the words full of venom. Then she glanced down at the redheaded knight lounging in the ruins. She was an older woman, mature and beautiful. “Who is she?”

  “Someone meddling. I do not know if she is ally or enemy to Angela. She has been lurking since the knight went underground days ago.” I looked up. “She does not matter. We must plan. We cannot fail. We shall only get one chance at killing Angela.”

  Ultionae nodded in agreement.
