Karina's Quest (The Adventures Of Pervikar Book 3)

by John Evans

When Karina had entered the room, Tessa had been sitting on her bed with one cock in her mouth and two others in each hand. Luckily, Karina had orgasmed earlier; otherwise her sex drive might have overpowered her at the sight of three hard cocks. She recognized the men as the ones who had been with Ivin.

  "I'm sorry," apologized Karina. "I didn't mean to barge in."

  "It's alright, Karina," said Tessa. "These gentlemen were with High Priestess Ivin. Their instructions were to make her orgasm and not themselves. I was just tending to their needs now."

  "Yes, I know," blurted out Karina. "I mean I know they were with Ivin, as I'm sure they know me."

  "You do? They do?" asked Tessa confused. "How?"

  "Well, I'm not sure how it was for these men, but it was like I was Ivin with them. I could hear, feel, and experience everything she was feeling, yet I was separated from her," replied Karina.

  "It was the same for us," said one of the men.

  Comprehension came to Tessa. "It was a spell from Adelpha. I experienced it once with your son, Karina. This answers any question I had. I will take part in the ritual."

  "You will? Thank you," said Karina with relief. "That was why I was coming to see you. I'll leave you alone now." Karina turned to face the men. "I want to say how amazed I was by your skill."

  "Would you like to see how skillful they are?" asked Tessa. "It is only if you want to. Some women can't accommodate three men at the same time."

  Karina broke out laughing. "Tessa, trust me on this. I can handle anything."

  "Sounds like a challenge to me, boys," said one of the men.

  "What about Tessa?" asked Karina as the three men approached her.

  "I was just seeing to their needs," said Tessa, moving over and sitting down in a chair. "You're the one who challenged them."

  "Oops," stammered Karina as one man moved behind her and gently pulled her robe open and then let it go down to the floor.

  The two men in front of her each grasped one of her mountainous mounds of titflesh with their hands. Karina's pink nipples were rock hard and begging to be suckled. The two men bent down and took a nipple in their mouth. Karina gasped as pleasure jolts shot through her body from her sensitive nipples. The third man moved up behind her and reached around to slide his hand over her stomach. Karina's body heated up when she felt his hard, throbbing cock press up against her ass and the small of her back. The third man slid his hand down to the juncture of her legs. His fingers quickly parted her wet folds and rubbed expertly right onto her clitoris.

  Karina moaned in desire as two tongues flicked around her nipples and a set of fingers skillfully played with the folds of her hot, wet cunt. With a sigh of contentment, she placed her hands on the back of the head of the two men sucking on her huge tits. She pulled them closer and ran her fingers through their hair. The men sucked more of her pliant mounds into their mouths causing more jolts to course through Karina's body. Her pussy was seeping, coating the fingers down there. The fingers began to probe deeper into her warm, wet tunnel.

  All three men disengaged at the same time, leaving Karina a little startled at the loss of stimulation. The man who was on her right laid down on his back on the rug. He then held up both arms and beckoned Karina to join him.

  Karina knelt down beside him and threw a leg over his hips. She reached own between them and guided his hard cock to her dripping slit. With one backward thrust, Karina sank the entire length of his cock into her tight, hot hole.

  "Ah!" gasped the man in surprise as Karina's pussy tightened down around it.

  Karina smiled knowingly at him. A pair of hands grasped her ass and gently pulled them apart. "If it hurts, let me know," said the man kneeling behind her.

  "All the way in," demanded Karina, bending forward to give him better access to her rectum.

  Karina's heavy breasts were pressed against the man underneath her. She felt the tip of a penis touch against her puckered asshole. It felt slippery, which meant he had used oil or lotion. Karina closed her eyes and relaxed as the head of the cock pushed its way into her ass and popped past her sphincter muscle. Two more inches slid into her bowels before the man stopped. He pulled back slightly to make sure he was not hurting Karina and then sank his cock all the way into her ass. Karina moaned in satisfaction as her ass, like her cunt, magically adjusted to his penetration.

  Karina heard a moan to her left and she glanced over in that direction. Tessa had slumped down so far in the chair that her ass was barely on the edge. She was panting and her legs were trembling because she was shoving two fingers in and out of her dripping cunt. Her other hand was squeezed and pinched her nipples as she watched Karina and the three men. Karina's vision was blocked by a thick-veined prick. Karina smiled, relaxed her throat, and took it all the way into her mouth until her nose was deep into the man's pubic hair.

  With her mouth, pussy, and ass now filled with hard cock, the three men began to fuck their respective hole with gusto. Karina moaned in amazement as all three cocks pulled back and shoved forward at the same time. Karina heard a loud cry of passion from Tessa and knew that she had just orgasmed.

  Flesh slapped against flesh with the wet, squishy sound that only sex could produce. The men kept up their rhythm. They even managed to change it all together at the same time, going from a slow pace to a faster one and then back to a slow one again. Karina slurped on the shaft gliding in and out of her mouth. Her tongue lashed over the head of the cock, licking up the pre-cum. Her ass and pussy were stuffed full. Karina heard the men breathing heavily as all of their bodies became sweaty from their passions.

  As her sexual passion rose, Karina marveled that the men could keep up their pace and stride without climaxing. She could sense that they were close, but were holding back because they took her challenge seriously. They were doing whatever they could to make her orgasm first, Karina strengthened her resolve at the same time she tightened the muscles in her vagina and rectum. She brought a hand up to grip the buttocks of the man fucking her mouth to force him to a faster pace.

  Karina's actions disoriented the men and they lost their concentration. With a startled cry, the man behind Karina shoved his cock deep into her ass and spewed forth a torrent of hot cum into her bowels. That set off the man underneath Karina because he gripped her hips tightly as his cock spurted out gob after gob of thick jizz into her waiting womb. The two spurting cocks set off Karina's pent-up passion and she orgasmed just as the last man shivered spurting his creamy seed into her mouth. Karina swallowed what she could, but some leaked out of the corner of her mouth to dribble down her chin. Everyone, except Tessa who was quivering from her third self-induced orgasm, collapsed down onto the rug.

  "Oh, Adelpha! That was hot!" sighed Tessa breathlessly.

  "Oh, it was," agreed Karina, her legs trembling. "These men are good."

  "Not as good as you," corrected the man who had his cock up Karina's ass. "I couldn't believe how tight..."

  "Uh, I think it is time for us to leave," interrupted the man that Karina had sucked off. "Please excuse him. At times, his mouth runs away by itself and he forgets we are with a guest."

  The men got up and gathered up their clothing. They left through a side door leaving Tessa and Karina alone. "Are you really coming to the ritual?" asked Karina.

  "Yes," replied Tessa. "This is only the second time that spell has been cast in this temple. Only Adelpha knows it. To me, that means you have found favor in her sight and I should accede to your request."

  "There could be other explanations for her casting the spell," advised Karina.

  "I know, but I feel this is what she wants me to do."

  "I'm sure the spell is the talk of the temple," said Karina with a smile.

  "Not as much as that big box of yours," said Tessa. "Do you know what is in it?"

  "It was sent by my husband, Baron Tenan," said Karina. "He's told me nothing about it, so your guess is as good as mine. Shall we go and have a look at it?"

  "In the morning,
" replied Tessa. "His Grace is as curious as I am about it."

  "Well, then I'll wish you pleasant dreams," said Karina standing up and putting on her robe.

  Chapter 14: Tenan's Box Of Tricks

  Karina's box had been moved from Bargan's vault to a basement storage room. It was etched with runes and as Karina stepped up to the box a small flash of light around all the edges of the box blinked on and off so fast that it startled everyone. There was some nervous laughter as Karina picked up a crowbar and pried open the front panel of the box. Everyone stared inside.

  The box was was divided into several compartments. The top compartment held a helmet. The next compartment down contained a suit of armor. Two drawers were at the bottom of the box, but the suit of armor was what held everyone's attention.

  "Well, it's obviously not made for me," snickered Gedda, who then yelped as Octavia and Cendri pinched her on the arms.

  The armor was black plate armor with inlaid gold and designed to to accommodate and exceedingly large bust. The helmet was a great helm with a red feather ridge running from the crest down the back. Behind the armor was a kite shield. The shield had Tenan's heraldry on it, except for the additional of a new symbol in the upper right corner. To Karina, the symbol looked strange, but somehow oddly familiar.

  "Look, a scroll case," said Helga, pointing at a round case attached to the inside of the box. Karina opened the case and pulled out the parchment.

  Dearest Karina, I know you will curse me each time you have to wear this, but I told you when you started this quest I would do my best to protect you. That is what I am doing now. I had my armorer and your dressmaker start on this armor right after your meeting with Gar. They will send it to a location designated by Melinar, if I am not available. The shield is our heraldry, but I included the symbol for Gar's tribe in the upper right quadrant. It seemed appropriate to put it there. The first drawer contains the gauntlets, greaves, and belt for the armor. The second drawer contains three weapons. You will not be able to open the drawer until you have read this message.

  The weapons are magical. The dagger is the most dangerous of all of them. It is the Dagger of the Green Dragon. Its edge is highly poisonous and the poison will not wash off. Several hundred years ago, a mage battled an ancient green dragon. After a long and terrible fight, the mage emerged victorious. He took the spirit of the still-living dragon and infused it into the blade.

  The second weapon is called Remarg. It is an ancient war axe, whose history has been lost in antiquity. It is always sharp and cleaves through armor like a hot knife through butter.

  The third weapon is a mace I call Skeletonbane. I found it in a tomb many years ago. On the hilt you will find a stud. When you are underground and press the stud, the mace will shine like a light. The magical light will not work if you are above ground. The mace is also the absolute bane to skeletons, zombies, ghouls, and ghosts.

  I wish there was more I could do for you. Be safe, my love. Tenan

  Everyone stayed silent for a few moments after Karina finished reading. Octavia then broke the silence. "Let's see the weapons," she said. "Then it will be time for a fashion show."

  "Fashion show?" asked Karina, not understanding before realization hit her. "You mean? Oh, no!"

  "And just think of all the new training she'll have to do," said Cendri to Gedda cheerfully.

  "Ladies," interrupted Bargan. "I believe this would be best settled amongst yourselves. Karina, you will need an armorer to adjust it for a proper fitting. Tessa and I will meet you by the forge."

  Bargan and Tessa left. Before Karina could get a word out, Octavia held up a hand to forestall her. "Your padded armor is trash and your short sword is scrap metal. For what we have to do, it's too dangerous to ride around without armor or weapons."

  Karina opened her mouth to retort, but stopped when Helga touched her arm. "Tenan went to great expense to have this made for you. He loves you and wants to protect you. Will you wear it for him? And for me and your son?"

  Karina sighed, smiled, and touched Helga gently on the cheek. "Of course, I will. I was just arguing because I can imagine how uncomfortable this is going to be."

  All the other women broke out in laughter, except Helga who just smiled.

  "Trust us, Karina," said Octavia, throwing an arm around Karina's shoulder. "It's worse than you can ever imagine."

  Karina smiled wanly as she pulled open the bottom drawer. The three weapons were lying there surrounded by padding. The dagger was six inches long and dark green in color. A picture of a dragon was etched on both sides of the blade and the hilt was wrapped with green scaly hide. Karina could almost swear she saw the dragon move on the blade. The war axe's wooden handle was black from age, but the edge shone brightly and runes had been carved into both sides of the axe head. The mace looked ordinary with a round spiked ball on top a shaft.

  Karina closed the drawer and straightened up. "Alright," she said. "Let's try on this damned armor."

  It was twenty minutes later when Karina found herself alone trying to navigate down the hallway to the stairs. After the others had helped her get into the armor, Karina had sent them on ahead, mainly so that they would not make fun of her as she tried to walk in the unbelievably heavy, hot, cumbersome metal. Karina grimaced as the plates pinched her in the side again.

  "Karina?" came an unearthly voice from behind her.

  Karina turned, lost her balance, and crashed into the wall. Only because the wall was made of stone and Karina bracing her legs, did she manage to keep from falling over. Looking through the slits of her helm, Karina spied Adelpha walking towards her.

  "Yes, Your Divineness?" asked Karina acidly as struggled to straighten up.

  "Temper, temper," admonished Adelpha. "I have good news. I talked to Ahhspah and he said I could tell you that you have to go to the Temple of Shades on the Overlord's Capitol to find the female ghost."

  "The Temple of Shades?" asked Karina with a little fear.

  "He's in charge of her soul," said Adelpha. "How's the new armor?"

  "Hot, heavy, and very uncomfortable," said Karina. "Tenan made it for me, but it needs some adjustments. I wish I knew how he was doing."

  "Summon him," said Adelpha. "You have the pendant."

  "Too dangerous, unless you can guarantee his safe return," said Karina. I could get him or Golden Sunlight killed if I call for them at the wrong time. They're in the Petra Swamp."

  "I know and I can't give you a guarantee," replied Adelpha, her voice softening. "You love Tenan, don't you?"

  "Yes, I do."

  "Gar? Per? Helga? Gedda? Ivin? Cendri? Octavia?" asked Adelpha, rattling off the names.

  Karina was silent for a moment. "Yes, to some degree, I love them all."

  Adelpha smiled brightly at Karina's response. "You know, I might know someone who can help you with that armor."

  The world as Karina knew it blurred and tilted savagely to one side. Her stomach jumped up to her throat and she fought to keep from vomiting. A millisecond later, the world reverted back to normal. Karina pulled off her helmet and looked around in wonder.

  She was in a huge cavern lit by the red glow of numerous lava pits and gigantic forges. Towering cyclops toiled at the forges and sparks flew through the air. The noise was deafening as the roar of fires competed with the banging and clashing of metal. Great gouts of thick, black smoke billowed upward to boil against the cavern ceiling before being sucked out through a large funnel-like hole in the center of the ceiling.

  As Karina stood still in wonder, she saw Adelpha approaching accompanied by a dark, heavily bearded man who limped on a clubfoot. His leather trousers and smock were scorched and burnt. His arms and chest were thick with muscle and he carried a smith's hammer in his right hand.

  "Yes, she's pretty to look at, but she not worth taking me away from my work," griped the man to Adelpha.

  "Her armor needs adjusting, dear," said Adelpha sweetly.

  "Any fool can see that," replied the
man, snapping a finger on Karina's steel covered breast. "Nice work, though, for a human. Good tone."

  "Hey!" snapped Karina, putting an arm across her breastplate.

  "Karina, may I introduce my husband, Woldan?" said Adelpha. Karina's mouth dropped open as Adelpha went on to Woldan. "It's good, but you can make it better."

  "Okay! Okay! If it will get the two of you out of here," said Woldan sourly. "Follow me."

  Karina and Adelpha followed Woldan over to a normal sized forge. Karina soon lost track of the number of times she had to get in and out of her armor. She watched Woldan melt the inlaid gold from the armor and replace it with a silvery metal. Towards the end, Karina had to stand perfectly still while Woldan went around her tapping at her armor with his hammer. Karina had to bite her lip to keep from screaming. The tapping of his hammer on the metal seemed to make her armor come alive as it moved and molded itself around her conforming to her shape and size. It was a very eerie feeling.

  The resulting armor was completely different than what had been sent to Karina. Her armor was now half the weight of the original and it fit her like a glove without restricting her movement at all. What shocked Karina the most was the helmet.

  The great helm was gone and in its place was a hinged silver mask. The face of the mask was a duplicate for Karina's face. The helmet was hinged at the top and fit over her head like a clamshell. Karina put it on and found that it fit snugly against her skin.

  Karina took it off. "It's a wondrous piece, but it's too tight. I won't be able to talk or move." She decided to keep quiet about her doubts of its protective quality.

  Woldan shot her a disgusted look. "Why do I even bother?" he asked rhetorically. "Come here, girl."

  He led Karina over to a full-length mirror and told her to put on the mask. Karina did so and looked into the mirror. The image she saw was herself decked out on a form-fitting silver and black armor with her silvery face staring back at her.

  "It's not silver," said Woldan guessing her thoughts. "It's mithral."

  Karina gasped as he casually mentioned the rare metal and then was stunned to see her reflection in the mirror. The mask had conformed exactly to her facial expression of shock with her mouth and eyes opened wide.
