Terra

The duchess greeted us as we exited the carriage, her little old butler managing to know my name this time. That alone was worth being Terra, obviously. I smiled and thanked them alongside Hayli, before being led into the mansion and to the dining hall door. Before we entered, a certain black-haired guard totally unrelated to any friend of mine stopped us. 

“Please, my lady. The chef has informed me that the pierogis and other potatoes are going to be a bit longer. Also, the chef’s assistant has told me to not let you see why that is.”

“Oh? That bad of a spill? Well, I’ll dock her pay then. Are my other guests in the sitting room still?”

“I do believe that so.”

“Excellent. Thank you, Gallahorn.”

“Of course, my lady.” He then turned to me and stared a bit, “So, you’re Ulther’s cousin. A pleasure. My daughter is friends with your other cousins.”

“Friends? Really not how it reads in the letters they’ve sent me.” I replied, trying to keep a straight face.

“Oh, yes. They are. I know Fredricka can be a bit overbearing and isn’t the best at saying what she wants- especially when she has a crush on someone- but they were friends.”

“Well, a pleasure. We must be going. Best not to keep the Duchess waiting.”

“Of course. I hope it all goes well.”

I nodded and walked past him, Hayli following shortly after. I could hear polite talking, two voices from ahead. I wasn’t that sure, but I think I could recognize Khione’s voice, but again- I only knew her for like two days.

As we entered, Khione in a long black dress was saying something about how they would talk properly at the meal. The duchess turned to us and said, "Ah, yes. These are my dinner guests tonight. Faiche and her partner, Terra. I hope you don't mind, but I needed people on my side."

"Oh, no. I get it. Though, do think how that reflects on you, Duchess."

"Well, this is Khione Tyrial. Where is your guest?"

"She will be here when dinner is served. Whenever that is."

"It shan't be longer than three-fourths of an hour at most."

"If you say so."

The Duchess said something under her breath and left us three to go and be somewhere else in alone in her massive abode.

"Ah, Faiche and Terra. Well, I see committing murder has brought you two closer. Much closer."

Hayli scowled, "Oh, and I see you went from a regular rich girl to one who is suddenly getting the fortune of an unrelated rich bastard. Care to explain that?"

"Oh, the powers that be decided I would run the fight ring better. After all, the dearly departed Farnsworth was a waste of that gift of his."

"By gift you mean a Rune Item?" Hayli asked.

"Not sure what that is, but it really doesn't matter. He feed it to the hole dweller. Or so he claimed. Luckily, the powers that be want the enterprise to continue. And the powers that be liked me. So, I am continuing it."

"And you're fine with this?" 

She shrugged, "I think that the name my liaison with powers that be want to change it to is strange, but she claims the changes she wants would legally require that name to be used- whatever that means."

"Oh, and us?"

"I don't care. You did help me get this position after all. Besides, I think I would win this fight."

"Terra beat you."

"She didn't beat my liaison. Her magic is something else."

Hayli laughed, "Oh, my girlfriend could beat her no matter what magic she has."

Khione rolled her eyes, "I'm sure if you weren't with her, that opinion wouldn't be so certain. After all, she did lose to you."

I grabbed Hayli and pulled her out of the room. "Let's go and wait elsewhere."

She began to complain but nodded. I made my way to the very uncomfortable chairs in the entry hall that I was sure had never been sat in and were never placed with the intent or expectations to be used at all. We waited together, mostly just staring off into space. I was sure Hayli was thinking about the fact her mission was now over and she had failed it. I was meanwhile worried about the fact that there were more hands on people involved with the humans. I mean Heroes' side. I mean, random distribution of objects with presumed great power was bad enough, but that there could be actors involved with them messing around was of course more troubling. I doubted that the High Mother or whatever benefactor she had would be one to come down to what I assumed was an unimportant side job at best. So, they had some personal servant or other person dealing with the items personally- or worse, they just let people with items be influenced by anyone who had any connections to the, as Khione said, the powers that be in even the slightest. Eh. Not really something that mattered now. But something to keep an eye and thought on. 

Soon the Duchess came through and called us over, "There you two are. Come. My chef has finished the meal. I do hope you like potatoes."

"Love them." Hayli replied as we entered the dining room and took our places. Hayli and I sat where I always did, and Nathers in her appointed chair as well. Khione nodded, and the woman next to her did as well. I blinked looking at her, face covered by her hat, trying to figure out where I had seen her before.

The chef came out and placed a small plate before us and some potatoes au gratin on it. The duchess thanked her and coughed. "Now, I think we should do introductions, as is appropriate for a dinner meant for business affairs. I, of course, am Duchess Nathers." She looked at us. Hayli took initiative. "I am Faiche Faioria, winner of one of your silly tournaments."

"Terra Thornell." I said, before snacking on the potatoes in front of me. 

"Khione Tyrial. Propretior and owner and face of... ugh, Kaga Fight Arena's Presents: The Magic Tournament. Twins, that sounds so dumb."

Her companion tsked. "It's not stupid. It's legally responsible. And if my love comes here, her other love will enjoy the name- even while I hold them captive."

"I am worried about anyone who is with you."

"Well, then I am Zurah Harken, the Voice of the Goddess." 

I blinked, "Zurah?"

"Oh? You heard of me? Odd, you didn't react that way at the library."

"Where's Nana?"

"Oh. I see. You've met 'that' Zurah then. A terrible mistake of mine."

"That Zurah?"

"Ah, yes. I forget you didn't go through resets like I did."

"Well, now shall we discuss your abhorrent business venture?"

 

Hayli

While Terra and I continued to devour more and more potato dishes while the Duchess and Khione argued. Every so often, I had to agree with the Duchess, or say that the tournament didn't seem to have much purpose or what not. I mean I wasn't sure what I was doing here, why Terra knew someone that apparently looked like Khione's second and had the same name, or if the Duchess was winning the argument over the tournament or not. I did know that the food was really tasty, and Terra was letting me steal off of her, not fully willingly but she didn't complain once.

Soon enough dinner ended, and the Duchess defeated sounding said: "Fine. I will see if your new ownership makes it less of a stupid fucking venture."

Terra looked a bit shocked, but then finished her leek and potato soup with a slurp and stood up to follow the redhead out of the room. I finished mine and snuck after her.

"Oh? You think I sent you into that hole to kill him? And you think that I thought the beast below would kill you so no one would know what happened? Well, perhaps if I wanted to ruin the game I would, but no. And you survived right?"

"Barely. And why are you saying we haven't met?"

"Oh, I cannot explain such concepts to you. You'd think me mad. But, as I said, that Zurah is not me. There's another Nana as well- by another name. We are the same in concept but not being. Now, if you are done interrogating me, I shall be taking my leave."

"Really? You're not going to follow us out of the mansion, kill Faiche and I?"

"Oh? You know who I work for? Well, no. I don't care about if anyone except the augurs die or live."

"Augurs?"

"Oh. Right, you all don't know about that. Well, so long, Terra." Zurah said for departing with Khione. 

"What was that about?" I asked.

"Nothing important for now." 

"Dinner was nice. When's the carriage home?"

"Carriages don't run this late."

"Oh. Are we walking?"

Behind us the Duchess laughed, "No dears. Take Fredericka's room again for the night." She tossed me a key, "Even though I didn't get what I wanted out of this disaster at all."

I thanked her and pulled Terra to the room. We took off our dresses and crawled into bed. Fredericka didn't have a bath, so I was going to have to be dirty for a night. Not that I think Terra minded, gay as she was. I kissed her on the cheek. Then moved down to her neck and bit it- just a little soft for what I wanted. Terra tensed up and her body shivered. I kissed her this time on the lips. 

"I think you owe me for today."

Terra smiled, "Nothing too far."

"Oh, I'm pretty full still, I wasn't planning to do any of that. Just have a little after dinner treat." I replied.

I moved on top of Terra and reached under her to undo her bra. She gave me an exasperated look before I grabbed one and kissed it. She squirmed a little. I moved my hand down to her cock and started it stroking it while kissing, biting and licking her all over. Terra's member began to quiver, so I moved my hand faster, biting her shoulder as she released and coated my hand in semen. I licked it off and got off of her, took my own panties off and spread my legs. "Your turn, Terra."

"Yes mommy." Terra replied, quickly going between my legs like she was diving into water.

I patted her head, as she did what I asked of her, trying to stop myself from grabbing her head and choking her. I mean that would be rude and hurt and I was pretty big compared to Terra. As I was worrying Terra, tapped me. 

"Hey... can you press my head down. My gag reflex won't let me go to the base."

"Are you sure?"

"Hayli, I'm horny. You're horny. And I trust you to not go to far."

"Yank my tail if you're suffocating."

Terra laughed, "Fine. Don't let me up until you cum." And put my other head in her mouth. I placed my hands on the back of her head and pushed her down, gagging and choking to the base. I felt her push back and pushed her back, finding a rhythm that made me start to shiver through my whole body. Soon I felt my eyes roll up as I released down her throat, letting go of her head and panting. Terra sat up, cum dripping off her chin, makeup ruined and eyes still tearing up. She grabbed me and kissed me, pulling me back down to the pillows. Our tongues mixed around for a while, until she pulled away.

"Satisfied for now?"

"No." I pouted.

"Well, too bad. You need to learn to wait."

"Say the girl who called me mommy and devoured my gock like she was starving."

"Eh heh. I didn't say I wasn't impatient. It's part of my charm."

"You're lucky I love you."

Terra smiled and let out a sigh, "I'd love you more if you'd wrap me up."

I snicked and pulled her in wrapping her in my tail, "Night." I kissed her again and stuffed myself between her bare boobies. I felt Terra slide her hand under me and pull me closer.

"Night." She replied.

I closed my eyes and smiled. I love Terra so much. I really hoped Quaza and Nox weren't back when we returned and that they hadn't found another suspected ruin item so I could enjoy her properly. (Yes, I mean fucking her. I want to fuck my girlfriend. Why am I defending myself like this still?) I let myself calm down before drifting off into the sea of dreams.
