Trystan couldn't think. The slime upped the tempo, squeezing his cock with each thrust on him. Walls began to crumble and the mage didn't know how much longer he would last. The pain on his arm grew brighter.
"Your mana....is strong..." The slime whispered to Trystan as it shut its eyes.
Sylk could feel a coiling inside as her body rushed to climax. The siren's eyes shot open and she gave a soul crushing scream. The vibrations were enough to splatter the goo covering her mouth. The room filled with whimpering moans. The orgasm caused a flood of glistening wetness to coat the slime's tentacle tongue. Sylk tried to shout to her master but succumbed to the ecstasy touch of the blue slime. Hungrily the slime sucked the siren's honey into her mouth. Mana drained from the siren and her eyes started to become heavy.
"Give me....your mana...or your familiar.....will feed us with every...last drop...of hers," The slime moaned.
Trystan grunted as he let go of his control. The mage's member bulged and the slime's mouth opened wide. A gurgling hiss combined with Sylk's whimpering moans. Trystan's hands clenched in blue goo and he let out a deep groan. White spurts of molten come erupted from his cock. Mana and seed spurted into the transparent slime riding him. The slime thrust her body down to the mage's hilt. Come spiraled and formed a ball, floating in the slime's belly. The creature's eyes rolled up as a spring of new mana infused with her body making her give off a light glow.
The tattoo stars are Trystan's shoulder blazed bright. The dim fire light in the stone room turned into a brilliance only matched by the sun. The slime raised her arms, trying to protect herself from the intensity. Trystan could feel the slime holding him down weaken. The mage screamed as he forced himself free and sat up. Whispers guided him, telling him what to do. The mage rammed his shoulder and arm into the slime girl sitting on him. The fiery stars touched the blue slime and there was a flash. The slime's body twisted as her mouth made a silent scream. A stream of blue whipped around the dazed mage and struck at his arm like a serpent. Trystan watched as a new tattoo inked right before his eyes, slowly forming into the blue slime.
The slime fondling Sylk desperately attempted to hold onto the siren. Invisible strands of energy that only Trystan could see latched onto the second slime and pulled her into his arm. The light died and the room was still as a frozen pond.
Trystan sat there on the floor for a moment before launching himself to his feet to Sylk. The familiar sat, shoulders slumped and a distant gaze in her eyes. The mage lifted his familiar up and held her close. Seconds passed and the siren returned the hug.
"Sylk?" Trystan asked as he looked down at her in his arms.
"I'm okay master. I think I will need some mana. She took so much," Sylk said weakly.
A stream of mist floated from the mage's left arm and the blue slime appeared in a puff of smoke. The creature kept her head low and her hands intertwined with each other. Trystan readied a spell while Sylk prepared to scream.
"I'm sorry master," The slime said softly.
"I don't even know where to begin," Trystan said as he let the spell he prepared fizzle.
"You tried to kill us!" Sylk managed to yell before her head leaned against her master's chest.
The slime kept her gaze low, "I couldn't control myself. I have been imprisoned here for a long time. It is only now that my memories are returning."
"Can you tell us more? Why are you here? What happened to you?" Trystan asked while sitting down with Sylk still in his arms.
"I only have flashes. I was being punished by my former master. He cut me off his skin and imprisoned me here so I could trap people and feed off their mana. He wanted me to take mana and store it for his eventual return. I couldn't resist his commands but you freed me."
Trystan eyed the slime, "Do you have a name?"
"Bella," The slime said in an even softer voice.
"Well Bella, it looks like I'm your master now," Trystan smiled.
The slime looked up with a small smile, "Yes master."
"Why did your master punish you?" Sylk asked.
Bella returned her gaze to the floor, "I was jealous of his other familiars. I hurt his favorite."
Sylk's eyes turned to Trystan and then looked away. Trystan felt the room was too heavy with sorrow. The mage put his finger under Sylk's chin so she could look at him. The mage pressed his lips to his familiar's. Energy moved between them as mana flowed. The siren drank it in. It was a small amount but it was enough to help her feel a little better. Trystan broke the kiss and Sylk stared at him with starry eyes.
"I promise to be a good familiar to you," Bella said with a hint of happy sadness in her voice.
"Good to hear but I'm sure we will have more to talk about. How about we get out of here and get some air?" Trystan smiled.
The slime and siren nodded their heads in agreement. Trystan and Sylk fixed themselves up as Bella waited patiently. Soon the three were climbing the stone steps. The mage let out a deep sigh of relief when they reached the entrance and gazed up at the beautifully clear night sky.
Twelve
The camp was set up rather quickly. Sylk showed Bella how to set up the tent while Trystan gathered some fire wood. The slime quietly listened as the siren instructed her in a nearly bossy fashion. Trystan returned with a bundle of sticks in his arms as the two familiars finished. The siren turned and ran to her master, nearly knocking him over. Webbed hands reached out to help carry thick sticks. Bella oozed closer as the mage and siren dropped the bundles next to a makeshift fire pit.
The night sky covered the land as the mage made a quick hand signal. Sparks flew onto the pile of sticks and a small flame emerged. The mage blew on it, making it brighter and brighter. Sylk stabbed the fire with a bent stick to help it along. Bella sank down to the ground on transparent legs and folded them underneath her. The three sat around the fire.
"We should be safe here for the night," Trystan said as he propped himself up with his hands behind him.
"We will be. Most creatures avoid these ruins unless they are looking for treasure," Bella said softly.
Trystan eyed the slime girl, "I'm almost afraid to ask but what happened to those creatures? I didn't see any bodies or bones."
Bella tilted her head, "I can pull mana from dissolving remains."
Trystan's eyes widened. Sylk stuck out her tongue and made a face.
"You ate them?" The siren said with a hint of disgust.
"I'm not proud of it," Bella whispered.
"Well I hope there is no need for that in the future. Let's try and keep a no dissolve rule, okay?"
Bella nodded to her master. Sylk leaned her back against Trystan's arm, her eyes turning to the night's sky. The mood smoothed into a gentle silence with only the crackle of the fire. The recent adventures tugged at Trystan as he sat. The hypnotic glow of the fire pressed down on him. He didn't realize how tired he really was. The mage was about to retire to his tent when a dark shape moved in the distance.
Trystan was on his feet and looking out across the field next to the ruins. The shape was moving in a straight line toward the camp. Sylk was on her feet and following her master's gaze. When she too saw the dark shape, she jumped forward and made sure her master was behind her. Bella oozed to her feet and moved to stand next to the siren.
"Don't worry master! We will defend you!" Sylk shouted.
The shape moved closer to them. Sylk took a battle stance while Bella stayed very still. Trystan tried to make out the shape. Was it Freya? Did she find him? How was he going to fight her without Nia's help? Maybe it is a monster, coming to hurt all of them?
The shape had crossed the small field and was nearly on them. The firelight stretched out and illuminated the dark shape. Trystan's heart soared when he saw Nia's red hair and pale face reflect back at them. The mage pushed passed his familiars and ran to the fire mage with all his might. Nia stumbled as if her strength was giving out but Trystan reached out and scooped her up into his arms.
No words wer
e said as lips touched. The kiss was deep and tears rolled down from both of them. When they broke their kiss, Nia let out a deep exhausted breath.
"I knew you would be here," Nia whispered.
"How did you know?" Trystan wiped away a tear.
Nia gave a weak smile, "That night in your room, when I left, I saw the map sticking out of your jacket. I looked at it and read the note on the back. I knew you would do the right thing and come here before going to Stukarr."
Worry bled into Trystan's brow., "What happened? Are you alright?"
"Let's sit by the fire. I'm pretty exhausted," Nia smirked.
Trystan forgetting himself guided the haggard mage to the fire. Sylk and Bella looked on as their master put his full attention to Nia. Trystan ran to the tent and pulled out a blanket. Bringing it over, he covered Nia's shoulders and sat down beside her.
"Thank you. The chill in the air was getting bad," Nia smiled.
"Red Fang?" Trystan asked.
"He is okay. We spent the last few days and nights dodging arachnixs. Red Fang was exhausted and is sleeping. We were travelling so much that I could not find time to feed him. Mana is so low that I doubt I could do a simple fire spell. Maybe after a good night's sleep we will be better for it."
"You should have gone to Stukarr. You would have been safe and I would have met you there."
"I couldn't leave you out here. Not with Freya still on the loose. I was afraid she would find you and drag you back. I was afraid I wouldn't see you again," Nia tried to keep the quiver from her voice.
Trystan hugged her close, "We are together now. By tomorrow evening we will be in Stukarr."
Nia took hold of Trystan's shirt, hand trembling, "I was so worried about you. I couldn't bear the thought of losing you. I missed you more then you know."
Trystan closed his hand over hers, "I do know. I feel the same."
Another tear ran down her cheek, "No, you don't. I was ready to kill Freya just so she wouldn't hunt you down anymore. The only thing keeping me from doing it was knowing you would never approve. She is a monster and should be put down like one but I knew you could never live with that. After your escape, we continued to fight. I managed to knock her down and put my fire sword to her neck. She went on and on that no matter what happens, she will find you and make you return. I had a moment where I thought the only way she will stop is if I killed her. With the place burning down around us, there would be no way for anyone to know. Instead, I hit her with the flat side of my blade and carried her out of the burning inn. I left her on the side of the road as her familiars turned to mist and rushed to her side."
Trystan gave a comforting smile, "You did the right thing. I'm proud of you."
"You are such a fool. I have been strong for so long and now you made me weak," Nia cried.
"You are the strongest person I know," Trystan grinned.
"Fool, I'm weak for you," Nia said, staring into Trystan's eyes.
Trystan stared into Nia's watery eyes. The warmth of their bodies mingling together in a private dance, Nia buried her face into Trystan's neck. The two held each other for a long time in the firelight. Sylk tapped a webbed foot silently as Bella grinned and looked away.
"I guess Bella and I will be sleeping in the other tent," Sylk said annoyed.
Trystan and Nia looked up at the siren with blank expressions. Bella walked over and picked up Nia's back pack.
"I think I can set up the second tent," Bella smiled and turned to Sylk, "I bet you’re hungry. I can feed you mana...until master can feed us both."
Sylk eyed the slime, "You can do that?"
Bella nodded.
Trystan and Nia smiled. The fire mage slowly stood up and took Trystan's hand. The mage stood up and both walked over to the tent. Trystan looked back to Sylk's annoyed face. The siren pointed her chin out in a huff but nodded with eyes closed. Bella waved and began pulling out the second tent from Nia's back pack.
Nia crawled into the tent. Trystan nodded back to Sylk and crawled in behind Nia. The tent was cozy as little light spilled in from the camp fire. Nia began to undress and Trystan sat with a concerned look in his eyes.
"Nia, we don't have to do anything. We could just...." Nia cut him off.
"Quiet," Nia said as she pulled off her leggings.
Trystan closed the tent flap. Even in the dim darkness, Trystan could see Nia as she undressed. Her jacket was pulled off and pushed away. When she was only in a T shirt and panties, her hands reached out to help pull Trystan's clothes off. A hunger crawled into her movements as she practically ripped Trystan's jacket off and unbuckled his pants. In moments the mage was naked and trying to cover up his hard on. Nia smiled and pulled her shirt off to reveal creamy breasts and pink nipples. Fingers curled around her panties and she pulled them off. Trystan found himself staring at Nia's beautiful body.
A fire blazed bright in Nia as she moved forward, her hand gently knocking away Trystan's hands and wrapping fingers around his cock. Loving eyes connected with Trystan's as she stroked his manhood up and down. A small moan fell from the mage's lips as Nia continued to stroke him. Trystan reached out and cupped her face, bringing her close and kissing deep. Tongues danced as Trystan let his hands smooth down her chest, grazing her erect pink nipples. Nia pulled away and let out a heated gasp. The mage cupped her breasts and pressed his thumb over her pink tips. A shudder filled both mages as they played with each other.
Nia tilted her head down with a seductive smile. Trystan watched as her mouth closed around his member. Nia moaned as she sucked at his tip. Trystan couldn't keep his hands off her as he touched her bare flesh. The tent grew warmer and wet sounds filled their ears. Trystan felt his heart beat with new excitement. Nia could no longer deny her feelings for her best friend. The two mages felt the link between them strengthen. Trystan and Nia moaned their approval as they fondled each other.
The red headed mage pulled her lips from her lover's manhood, rising up to meet his gaze. On her knees, she moved forward, pressing her body to his. Trystan sat as Nia hovered her womanhood over his member. Biting her lip, Nia let Trystan enter her tight slit, inch by inch. Trystan held her close as his friend slid down to the hilt. Silently they gazed into each other's eyes, bliss filling their naked bodies. Electric fire lit up their nerves. Trystan leaned in and kissed along her neck. Nia began to move, slow at first as her mouth formed a heated O. The two mages held each other fiercely. Trystan's teeth grazed skin and another gasp filled the tent. The outside world faded from their minds as a new, closer private world opened between them.
Trystan cupped her firm ass with both hands. Nia leaned her head back, her pale peaks brushing against his chest. Hot breath poured from open mouths as they rocked to an intimate rhythm. Bliss turned into clouds of fire. Trystan couldn't believe he was here with Nia, the woman he loved since they were orphans. Nia cursed herself on holding back even though she knew it was right in her heart.
Trystan couldn't take it anymore, with strong arms he laid his love down onto her back, her head nearly bumping the ground. The two lovers’ stared for a moment before smiling and laughing. Laughter gave way to their internal suns as Trystan pushed his hips between her alabaster thighs. Nia's head turned to the side, pleasure so intense that if she looked at Trystan she felt she would burst. Trystan upped his tempo, each thrust more urgent. Lips kissed Nia's nipple. The fire mage's nerves coiled to nearly the breaking point. The water mage's body began to move uncontrollably, driving his staff deep into her valley.
"I...I...can't hold on..." Nia whispered, keeping her eyes shut.
"Neither can I..." Trystan whispered and took a lick of Nia's pointed nipple.
The fire mage turned her head and gazed deep into Trystan's eyes. The connection nearly blinded them as time froze. The mage held her close as he brought his lips to hers. Nia clamped her legs around Trystan's waist, urging him on. The mage's cock bulged as a wild expression dripped into his eyes. Nia held tight, burying her face into his neck as her wor
ld exploded. Coiled nerves released with magical explosions firing in every direction. Squeezing Trystan, her womanhood begged to be filled. The mage grunted, his cock hard as stone. Nia squeezed a little harder and Trystan let out a spirited groan. Molten jets of come spurted from his manhood. Nia's eyes opened wider as another orgasm crashed into her. The two mages continued on, moaning and grunting to their bodies moving on their own accord, when they couldn't take it anymore, both fell in a heap, sweating and breathing like air was a precious commodity.
Trystan rolled off Nia and lay next to her. Nia draped her body on his. Trystan curled a red strand of hair in his finger while Nia ran fingers down along his chest. Silently they held each other, nerves burning with white fire. Nia soon found her hand stroking Trystan's manhood.
"Again?" Trystan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Again," Nia said with half closed eyes and seductive smile on her lips.

"I can see it! Over there!" Nia shouted, pointing into the distance.
Trystan was about twenty feet behind. The afternoon sun shined down on him like a relentless waterfall of light. Putting a hand over his eyes, he could see in the distance the walled city of Stukarr. Trystan took in a deep breath and exhaled, letting the stress from the journey flow away. They finally made it to their new home.
"We should be there by late afternoon. I can't wait." Nia said nearly jumping in excitement.
Trystan didn't know where she found the energy. Ever since they woke up she had been a ball of lightning. After all the trials, happy reunions and love making, Trystan was beat. Sylk and Bella were fast asleep on the mage's arm, seemingly content but Sylk was sure to let her master know how rude it was for all the noise last night. Trystan found himself getting used to the siren and smiled while patting her on the head. Sylk blazed with fury, teeth gnashing and stomping around in a circle for a good ten minutes. After everything was packed up and ready to go, the two familiars were ready to sleep the rest of the trip.
"Do you think we should go the admissions office once we get inside?" Trystan smiled weakly.
