The Return (11 page)

When she relaxed, I took one of her nipples into my mouth and sucked on it gently. She actually managed to tense and arch her back into me, to get more attention to her breasts at the same time. When she relaxed enough to close her eyes, I slid one of my hands up and began to stroke the area right behind her ears. This helped her to relax even more, as I used my other hand to play with her free breast.

Once she was purring lightly and looking at me through hooded eyes, I began to kiss downward. She purred and mewed softly, until she realized where I was headed. Then she looked into my eyes, “Rhys, men don’t do that. I have never seen a man put his face there.” I smiled and stuck my tongue out to tease the sides of her sweet velvet covered flower. At first she tried to tense, but her body betrayed her. As she tensed, it forced her back to bend downward, into the mattress. This of course made her flower thrust upward, toward my waiting mouth.

I tongued her tight womanhood until she started to tremble and mew, then I shifted my attention upward and licked her clit. The instant my tongue made contact, she went off like a liquid cannon. Her moan was loud enough to draw the attention of Taina and Beth from the other room. She drenched me! My face and hair were soaked with her liquid honey. My ears were full of the sweet fluid with which she gifted me. The bed beneath her was soaked. I could not believe one little Phelony could produce that much fluid.

I bent down to kiss her button again to show her I had enjoyed it, and on contact she exploded again into my face. This time, her moan was almost a scream. It took me a few seconds to recover, but I had to know, so I began to lick and clean her thighs and moved to her orchid. This time, I pushed my tongue inside her tunnel and she clamped her legs over my head. She moaned as she pumped fluid into my mouth, I had to swallow in self defense.

“I’m sorry, sir, but I have never had a man touch me that way. I got so excited that you would do it.”

“There is nothing for which you need to apologize, Tia. That was the most incredible thing I have ever seen.”

“Rhys, I know you said you would only give me pleasure, but after what you have done for me, would you put your manhood into me? I know I will get no pleasure from it, the woman never does, but I want to make you feel as good as you have made me feel.”

I took everything I had to keep from crying; as I worked my kisses back up her body and positioned myself between her legs. I bent in and locked my lips to hers and as she passionately returned my kiss, I pushed into her. The huff of air she exhaled into my mouth, and the look of utter surprise on her face, were just beautiful beyond imagination. She felt nothing but pure pleasure at my entrance.

As I sank my staff in to the hilt, the excess juices from her earlier display squirted out around us. As I released her mouth, her mews and moans sounded like a symphony to my ears. Within a minute, I had her panting and begging me to go faster and harder. Then she started to vibrate and shake beneath me, I felt her legs wrap around my waist.

With a loud mewing moan, she washed me with yet another spray of that sweet nectar. She was looking at me with shock in her eyes, as I continued to thrust into her. “How..?” As she tried to ask, her body was again wracked by spasms as she clenched up and delivered another smaller blast of her precious body fluids.

Each time she thought they were done, I would send her back up to the top of those clouds only to tumble, falling back to earth. Eventually her squirts became a mere trickle, as, with a last series of thrusts, I pumped my seed deep into her womb.

Taina came over to the bed and handed Tia two bottles of water from my pack. “Drink these -- you need the fluids.” Laina and Beth both were standing there, with shocked expressions on their faces.

I smiled up at them. “Oh, I see how it is. Get my victim water, and leave me to die of thirst.”

Taina stuck her tongue out at me and there was a chorus of “Don’t stick it out unless you intend to use it” from several of us. Everyone dissolved into giggles.

I got up and started heading for the door. “I think we need some breakfast, and I need an outhouse visit.”

Beth called out from behind me, “Aren’t you forgetting something?”

I looked back at her “What?”

“Pants.”

I looked down and sheepishly headed over to my clothing. The girls all laughed as they started to get up and get dressed.

Chapter Four

I found myself walking through the streets of this city. This town was a busy place. I watched the pickpockets and thieves steal from the merchants. The merchants robbed the customers. The customers used every trick of graft and greed to take money from the thieves. What a vicious cycle of life it was here. I was headed to a particular place. I hoped it still stood after six thousand years. If it did, it would not be standing by the end of the day. I had left all of the girls at the inn. I had told them I was off to buy some supplies.

As I turned the corner and saw the sprawling complex of the Mage's college, my eyes lit up with my planned mischief. I felt Likka brush up against me as she sat.

Her words stung.

I walked towards the front gate of the school. The guards looked at me with bored expressions and just let me by. I continued to the great arched front door and walked into the entry hall of the kings. I continued on through the hall and into the main corridor. Still, no one challenged me.

I enter the huge door at the end of the hall to find the main auditorium. I moved down the steps to the stage below. Finally, as I walked up the stairs to the stage, one of the guards challenged me. “Only authorized professors and faculty are allowed to use the stage.”

“I authorize myself. Now why don’t you toddle off and find a nice trash can to guard. Before you find out just how underpaid you are.”

As he tried to draw his sword I flipped my hand, he jumped from the floor to the ceiling where he stood upside down looking down at me. “Don’t go outside now, it’s a long way up.” I chuckled as I walked onto the stage. The other guards were rushing towards me. I drew my bow and put and arrow through the shirt collar of the lead man pinning him to the pillar he was passing.

I tapped the end of my bow on the stage and a peel of thunder rang out. I tapped and again there was a peal of thunder. With each tap, the peal would echo throughout the compound. Soon Mages started coming into the room -- from apprentice, through journeyman, to master they all came -- to find out what the commotion was.

“Please come in and have a seat.” I said in a calm voice.

The headmaster of the school came rushing in at that point. “How dare you disturb the studies at this imperial established school?”

“First of all, this school is so much older than the empire. So old in fact, that the Mages that sit the throne were once students here. Second, I dare, because I am here to give you all a chance. My companion believes there might be some people here that are good people. Third, I dare, because I am Rhys David Cain. Now sit down!”

“Arrest that man and execute him for daring to use the forbidden name!”

“I see it is the hard way.” I muttered with resignation. The guards drew their swords and begin to advance. They almost managed a second step towards me before a flurry of my flechettes flew out at them. None of them would use their hands for a while.

The Mage in front of me began to speak in a guttural language. I could feel him bringing his magic to focus on me. I waited tapping my foot. When the final word of his spell fell from his lips he made a throwing motion with his right. A ball of Mage Fire arced from him to me. I reached out my hand and caught it, as softly as one would catch a baby.

“The amazing thing about Mage Fire is, if it is not contained it will consume even the caster. Oddly enough, that makes it rather safe to handle if you are gentle enough not to break the containment sphere.” I tossed the ball of contained fire up and caught it again. “It is kind of like playing catch with a soap bubble. Why don’t you try?” I tossed the sphere back to the Mage that had thrown it towards me. He moved out of the way letting it fall towards the students in the audience. A foot above their fear struck faces, the sphere stopped moving and just sat there.

The Mage began to speak again in the language of magic. I placed my finger to my lips and made a shushing sound as I released my magic just a bit. The Mage stopped talking mid spell. His lips were still moving but no sound issued forth. “The problem with Magicians is you must be able to speak to cast.” I continued as the sphere began to float back towards me. “A Wizard must have a focus like a staff or a wand.”

I reached out my hand and the sphere of mage fire came to rest gently on my hand. I looked at the sphere and it burst and flames began to dance in the palm of my hand. “While I can do both the magic of the Mages, and the Wizards, I also can do a magic no one else has ever been able to do until I. I can simple think my spell and it works.

As the audience watched the fire in my hand formed into a dancing fairy about five inches tall, still made of, and clothed in flame. I spoke to the fairy in my hand. “Why don’t you go find your creator, and give him a kiss?” She flew off my hand and towards the mage that had accosted me. He performed the better part of valor and fled the creature, retreating to the back of the room.

“While she tries to steal a kiss from daddy, I will get to the point that brought me here. Just because you can do magic does not make you better than anyone else, it does however make you more responsible. It is time for that responsibility to come home, to most of you.”

“The empire was founded by a group of Mages that killed the former rulers. They took dominion because they felt that power gave them the right to do that. Power does not give you the right to use it. It gives you the responsibility to use it.” The Mage ran behind me with the little fairy flying in hot pursuit. I held my hand out for the fairy and it came to me and landed lightly on my hand. “It seems your daddy does not love you enough to kiss you.” She fell to her knees in my hand and began to cry little flaming tears.

I looked at the mage, panting in the corner. “Do you wish to be able to speak again?” He nodded in a near panic. “Then come over to me. As long as you act nice, I will not hurt you.” He walked over to me slowly. As he approached I raised my hand and showed him the little fairy. “This is a creation of your magic, it is your responsibility. If you ever cage her she will die within hours.” He felt a wrenching sensation, and he gasped as his voice returned.

“Your magic is now tied to her, if she ever dies so does your magic. You must protect her and nurture her. She will become more than you could ever imagine in time.” As he looked at me in wonder the little fairy sniffled and wiped her face with a hand. I took his hand and held it palm upward level with mine. “Will you let your daddy take care of you?” The fairy nodded and smiled at him, I could see his look of wonder. She suddenly jumped into the palm of his hand and he stiffened about to panic. I would not let him move his hand.

She landed feather light on his hand and ran up his arm to his shoulder. Once there she put her hand on his ear and leaned in to kiss him on the cheek. She then sat down on his shoulder, and began to sing a soft little song of freedom and joy. The mage looked at me in wonder as she sang.

“I have come back to end the tyranny of the power mad. Stay out of my way, learn to use your power for the betterment of life around you, and you will be counted among my friends. Stand with the Mages that have taken power and become my enemy.”

As I turned to walk off of the stage a young man came up to me. “Sir, are you really Rhys?”

“I am.”

“My grandmother used to tell me the legends of your fight with the Mage Kings, but said you just disappeared one night. I feel I must warn you there are mages here that follow the ways of the mage kings.”

“I am counting on it. If they come looking for me, I don’t have to hunt them down.”

“You invite the mage kings to come after you?”

“I would invite them to all come to me at the same time so this can be ended for good or ill as quickly as possible. Would you be so kind as to pass the word that I am staying at The Golden Dragon Inn? That will save some time if any want to try on their own.”

He looked at me wide eyed as I turned to Likka. Likka’s tongue lolled out as she stood and headed for the doorway.

As I followed, one of the school guards stepped in front of me. “M’Lord, may I speak?”

“I am not a lord, I am, Rhys.”

“Rhys, we are not imperial guardsmen. We work for the school, but there are imperial guardsmen in the city. When they hear of this, they are going to come after you in force. Your magic was impressive, but there are over a thousand men stationed here.”

I look down at his hand still bleeding from the wound I had given him. I reached down and took his hand, as he watched. I released a small burst of magic and healed the wound. “Good, then I outnumber them.”

As we finally managed to walk out into the sunshine, Likka spoke to me in my head.
