“Where are they all coming from?” she cried out. “This is crazy! It’s like monsters everywhere are all choosing to come here of all places! Why? When did we ever send out a letter asking them to come play with us? I’m almost positive we never did!”
“Why are so many coming here?” Syliandanchevas fretted. “Why are they doing this? And is all this The Sisterhood that those children spoke of? How could so many monsters organize this large of a force to invade with?”
“It’s not The Sisterhood,” VelRyan replied shaking his head. Vale and Syliandanchevas turned to him curiously as he pointed to Green Haven and gently swirled the fog around with his finger.
“According to what Lelu and Grace have told us and what they heard from the monsters attacking their homes The Sisterhood has only made its presence known and came to be formed recently. Grace said they’re being led by two monsters in particular who are looking to recruit others to join their newly formed army.”
“Newly formed?” Syliandanchevas repeated. “But… that means…”
“Exactly,” VelRyan agreed sitting back in his chair. “This wave of monsters approaching and invading Koskaysil has been steadily coming our way for over a month now. None of them have been known to say where they’re going or who they are, and none of them have declared any allegiance or even knowledge of a ‘Sisterhood’ among them. The Sisterhood that Grace and Lelu told us about, it appears to be a small splinter group of those that have been wandering into Koskaysil. They’re just as dangerous, make no mistake, but only this small few are actually following any sort of command. The rest just appear to be mindlessly marching forward into our home without a reason, at least not one that we can see yet.”
“They’re just… coming here for no reason?” Vale curiously said. “But why? What could be drawing so many monsters into our land? It’s not like there’s an overabundance of men here or anything like that.”
“I don’t suppose there’s any chance of warning the queen with these findings, is there?” Syliandanchevas worried.
“Seeing as how all our past letters to the queen have been rejected I’d say that’s a fair bet,” VelRyan sighed. “You know as well as I that Queen Leanna won’t take anything we say seriously. We are after all a sanctuary for monsters and that makes us part of the problem in her eyes. We could try to warn her that Eden was coming to an end with all the proof in the world and she still wouldn’t believe a word we would say.”
“So what can we do then?” Syliandanchevas feared looking back to the map. “Look at all the innocent humans and monsters that are suffering because of this. And these are just the ones we’ve heard about, we have so few ears out there beyond our borders. Something must be causing this, something must be bringing all these dangerous monsters into our land.”
“Indeed something must be,” VelRyan agreed while carefully examining the map. All the black fog markers were seen to be flowing directly towards Koskaysil from all sides, all the monsters they represented having traveled towards the land from far off locations and all seeming hell-bent on making their way there despite how long it would take them and without any clear motive as to why they were.
“The question is what, or who, is doing this.”
Chapter 8
Withheld Feelings
In the world of Eden temptation was always found in many forms and places. Perhaps a treasure or valuable trinket was within grasp even though it belonged to someone else. Some monsters used the allure of beauty and sexual release to draw men towards them even though they were known to be dangerous. Or perhaps one’s own feelings were thought to be too forward or even wrong in life and were repressed despite their growing wishes for it. There was always something someone wanted at some time in their life that made them stop to think if it was right to pursue or even have. The answer of course wasn’t always given or even able to be seen clearly.
Though occasionally someone else may be able to offer some help.

Running along a worn dirt road across the endless rolling plains Lucky steadily galloped while pulling Alyssa’s old carriage behind him. Under the warm sunny sky Daniel and Alyssa rode on the wagon while partially in the shade from its roof, listening to the rhythmic clopping of Lucky’s hooves and a few birds chirping as they passed by overhead. Daniel held the reins to their horse as he watched Alyssa snuggling closer to his side, the witch holding onto his arm and resting her head against his shoulder while gently breathing out in content.
“Enjoying the ride?” Daniel asked.
“Enjoying the time with you,” Alyssa softly purred as she moved closer to him under his arm. “You’re all I need in the entire world to be happy.”
“What about your co-mates?” Daniel jested. “Don’t tell me they mean nothing to you at all.”
“You know what I mean,” Alyssa quipped with a snarky smile up at him. “I do love them, so very much. But you… you’re who I love most of all. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
“You’re a strong witch, Alyssa,” Daniel gently praised while holding her around her waist. “I’m sure you’d be doing just fine if we hadn’t met.”
“No, I wouldn’t,” she desperately argued. “I would still be a rotten little witch, I’d still be alone in the world. I’d probably be dead by now if it wasn’t for you saving me.”
“Saving you?”
“You helped me overcome my nature,” she lovingly said as she nuzzled against his chest. “You saved me from those wolves, you saved me from being alone and hated, you gave me something wonderful to live for. You… you make me feel whole.”
Looking up to him with a tear in her eye she held a hand to his cheek.
“I mean it. My life would be hell if you hadn’t rescued me. I feel more alive and happy now than I ever have before. I feel complete having you with me. I don’t… I don’t ever want to lose you.”
She started whimpering and holding onto his shirt, with Daniel keeping her close with a sympathetic smile while Lucky shook his head with a grunt as he continued running along the trail.
“I feel whole with you, Daniel. This feeling in my heart, I never want to lose it. I can’t. I can’t go on without it. You make me so happy in life, so glad to be here with you. Nothing can compare to this. Nothing-” she said before he lifted her chin up and kissed her, silencing the witch who slowly closed her eyes and held onto his hand. She felt her love for Daniel building up within her, the heat from it surging through her body and making her feel lighter than air. When the kiss finally ended Alyssa took a calm breath before smiling lovingly at the man that held her close.
“I can never do enough for you to make you see,” Alyssa regretted. “I can never repay you for everything you’ve given me. My life is yours, my love is yours, and yet it’s still not enough.”
“Alyssa,” Daniel said slowly shaking his head. “You’re all I need, you’re all I could ever ask for. I love you so much, and having your love in return is more than-”
“No, it’s not enough,” Alyssa argued as she quickly nuzzled against his chest again. “I want to do more for you. I want to protect you, but… I don’t think you need that anymore. It’s you that’s been protecting me now. You’re the one who’s been taking care of me, comforting me, fighting for me. You’re even blessing me with a daughter. What can I possibly do for you now to show you how much I love you?”
“Take care of him,” a girl’s voice calmly said. Alyssa blinked then slowly looked around, not seeing anyone else in the empty plains that passed by. “You know how you can do that. You know how you can make him feel happy. So do it.”
Alyssa looked up to Daniel as he watched her with a calm smile on his face, her eyes gazing deeply into his while her hands slowly moved down to rest on his waist.
“He’s your knight, isn’t he? He’s taking care of you with everything he has. The very least you can do in return is the same. You know what his mate can and should do, especially one that he intends to take as a wife and mother of
his children. Love him, Alyssa. And take extra good care of him. You know how to make him say you’re name rather passionately, yes? That would be a good start.”
“I can’t just do that,” Alyssa quietly said to herself. “I’m not… a wild lustful monster who jumps onto his penis the first chance she gets. I have self-control, I don’t just go and hump my man whenever the mood fancies me.”
Shaking her head she quickly looked down while hugging him close, a curious remaining on Daniel’s face as he held his witch who hid her face under her hat’s brim.
“Of course you’re not a wild monster. But you are a woman, and he is a man. And men do desire such a thing from their women.”
“He’s not like that,” Alyssa hissed. “He loves me for my heart, not for my body or what I can do to him in bed. I won’t behave like the same stupid horny witch I was when he first met me.”
“You are Daniel’s mate. This is an undeniable fact. And making love to him is part of a mate’s nature, isn’t it? There’s nothing wrong with mating with the one who you want out of love itself. This isn’t lust you’re fighting against. It’s your genuine feelings for him, Alyssa. Just embrace it.”
“Embrace it?” Alyssa softly whispered. She glanced up to him from under her hat, seeing him watching her and holding her close with his arm. “How am I supposed to do that? Am I just supposed to act how I was when I first met him? I won’t be like that again, I won’t let myself become that witch again.”
“Just love him, Alyssa. Show him how much he means to you with everything you have. There’s nothing wrong with that in the slightest.”
“Just love him?” she repeated while pushing her hat up.
“You’re not a wild, uncontrollable, lustful creature of Eden. You’re Alyssa, Daniel’s mate and the one he wants to take care of forever. The one he wishes to keep close and love in every way he can. He’s shown how much you mean to him. You must repay him in some way, it’s only right.”
“Alyssa?” Daniel wondered. He looked down to see her hands moving over his crotch and gently caressing it before she lowered her head with a small blush forming.
“I… do want to repay him for everything he’s done for me,” she quietly admitted. “But… if I do-”
“It won’t be a lustful witch preying upon him if you do. It will be his mate taking care of him in a way only she can. Don’t question your true feelings for possibly being malicious, you know for a fact they’re not. You don’t need to hold yourself back, you don’t need to fight your urges anymore. Embrace them, as Daniel’s loving mate. You’re free to express your love for him however you wish. And I’m certain given your expertise with it he’ll be very grateful for what you can give him.”
“But Daniel wants us to control ourselves…”
“And you have. But you girls seem to be taking it a bit too far. You believe that if you express more of your desire to have sex with him you’ll be viewed as lustful demons. That isn’t true at all. You have every right to have sex with Daniel, Alyssa. You are after all his mate. And you do have needs that he promised to fulfill. He wants you just as you want him. So stop fighting against what you desire so much and just embrace it, it’s rightfully yours after all.”
“Alyssa?” Daniel asked again as the witch looked down to her hands that lightly squeezed what was under his pants then back up to him while leaning closer to his face.
“I love you more than anything, Daniel,” she softly vowed. “You are everything to me. And I’m going to do whatever I can to make you as happy as I am.”
“Alyssa…” Daniel breathed out before she kissed him. She fondled his crotch for a while before pulling his pants down, her hands taking hold of his growing manhood while she leaned in more with her kiss. Moving herself over to straddle his lap she broke from their kiss and moved her hands up and down with what she kept hold of while watching Daniel holding in his voice from her motions.
“You’re my world, Daniel,” she promised. “I love you more than any words can convey. You’ve stepped up to be not only my knight but also a father to my children. The very least I can do is take care of my man in a way his devoted mate should.”
Using one hand she moved aside her panties before lowering herself down onto him, her hand that held his erect member guiding him into her as she held in her grunt with trembling hips. Daniel leaned back with a relaxed sigh as the witch pushed herself all the way down onto his lap, her hands taking a firm hold of his chest as she breathed deeply for a moment while holding in a moan that tried to escape her lips already. Turning her loving gaze back onto him she leaned closer and started gently humping him, soft and lustful purrs being made by the witch as she kept herself on top of her mate.
“I love you, Daniel. And if you’re going to take care of me, then I’m going to take care of you. I’m going to take such good care of you forever, I swear it.”
“Alyssa,” Daniel said before she kissed him deeply. She started riding him more while moaning and grunting in her kiss, the feeling of him going deep inside her causing the heat she felt in her body to spike even higher. Daniel held the witch by her hip and the back of her head, the two locked in a passionate embrace as the girl rode atop her man with growing emotions. The world around them seemed to turn into a hazy blur, the only thing Alyssa being able to take notice of now was Daniel as she made love to him on the moving carriage. Breaking from the kiss Alyssa arched back with a heavy wail while Daniel started to kiss along her neck, the witch’s hands gripping his back tightly as her body continued to ride him almost on its own now.
“I love you, Daniel! I love you! I promise I’ll always take care of you! I’m going to make you feel so good and loved every day, every single day! I won’t hold myself back anymore! I won’t hide my desires and feelings from you, even if I do seem like a wild horny monster to you again!”
“You’re not a wild horny monster to me,” Daniel promised, with Alyssa looking into his eyes as he held her close. “You’re my mate, the one I love and want to keep forever. Don’t hide anything from me, Alyssa. Not even your sexual desires. I’ll always cherish everything about you.”
“I want to have sex with you so bad,” Alyssa whined.
“You can.”
“I want to do you every day.”
“You can.”
“I’m not an uncontrollable monster because of it, am I?”
“Not at all. You’re my perfect little Wildfire Witch.”
Pushing forward into the kiss again Alyssa felt her love for Daniel burning brightly within her, almost in the same way she felt whenever he drew upon her monster energy with his Synergy. Nothing else mattered to the witch at that moment as she rode her man with growing passion and no restraint. Not the fact that them riding through The Outerlands with her old carriage didn’t make sense. Not the fact that they weren’t even traveling to anywhere specific. Not the fact that she didn’t even remember them starting this endless journey in the first place.
And not the fact that a silhouette of a jinx was barely seen lying atop the roof of the carriage while watching them with her green and blue eyes.

“Daniel!” Squeak exclaimed, arms holding onto her man as they rolled about in dirt under a sunny sky. Daniel came up on top of the ant girl while her abdomen landed down on the ground beside her, her hips turned still while her hands were pinned by her head by the human who smiled proudly down at her.
“You win, Daniel,” Squeak admitted with a gentle sigh. “I submit to you.”
“It’s not fun if you always let me win, Squeak,” Daniel laughed while the ant girl shifted her shoulders around with a sultry smile on her face. “You’re not even trying to pin me down or fight back at all.”
“Maybe I like being submissive,” Squeak countered with a wink. “You never know.”
“You’re stronger than I am by far yet you always hold back your strength when with me. Why is that?”
“I don’t want to hurt you,” Squeak answered w
ith a worried smile. “With my strength I could… even on accident… never mind, it doesn’t matter. It’s alright, Daniel. I don’t mind being a slave to your desires such as this. By all means ravage me, I’m yours to do with as you see fit.”
“What am I going to do with you, my dirty ant girl?” Daniel mused as he started kissing her lips then down her neck.
“I can think of a dozen things or so,” Squeak purred as he ripped open her tunic and started fondling her breasts, bringing one to his mouth to suck on while the other was roughly squeezed in hand. Squeak moaned softly while he handled her, her own hands moving to hold him close before halting just above him. After hesitating a moment she moved them aside and dug into the dirt beside them with great strength.
“Coward,” a girl’s voice scoffed. Squeak blinked then looked around, seeing nobody nearby in the field they were in while Daniel started to move down towards her waist. She felt him pulling down her panties then held in her gasp as he started orally servicing her, the ant girl holding a hand over her mouth while the other gripped the dirt and crushed a stone.
“So you always hold back with Daniel? You always hide your true nature from him like this? You always let him do all the work and show all the effort?”
“Who are you?” Squeak gasped before moaning with both hands reaching down to hold Daniel’s hair. He continued eating out the ant girl while holding her legs apart, her quickening breath and loud screams escalating as she relished what he was doing with her.
“You’re pathetic. How can you call yourself his mate?”
“Who are you?” Squeak yelled as she was rolled over by Daniel. He yanked off his shirts and pulled the ant girl up by her waist onto her knees, the girl arching herself back slightly and seeing him caressing her inner thighs with a daring smile.
“So obedient. So complacent. So boring.”
“Who the hell are you?” Squeak demanded looking around. With a smack she yelped and looked back to see Daniel giving her another spank as he pulled down his pants, his attention seeming unbroken as he didn’t appear to notice Squeak was talking to anyone.
