Per& Octavia find time for each other







"Per, is there anything I can get you before you leave tomorrow?" asked Tymera.

"You've done more than enough for us already," answered Per.

Per, Octavia, Karlto, Pawl, Cendri and Gedda were sitting at the dinner table in the manor house with Tymera and the sheriff. The sheriff had stopped by to say goodbye to the group.

"I'm sorry to see you go," said the sheriff, sipping his wine. "Most of the unsavory characters that have come to town since hearing of Tymera's good fortune don't stay long once they've seen you. Of course, that one guy with the two broken arms and busted head helps."

"His problem was that he thought Octavia was a serving wench to be cornered and pawed at," stated Pawl.

"I'm just glad she didn't kill him," said the sheriff, saluting Octavia with is wine glass. "He's a better example this way."

"They can all take a long walk off a short pier for all I care," said Tymera.

Everyone broke out in smiles and chuckles at her statement. Karlto stood up from the table.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'm for bed. Since this will be my last night in a soft warm bed for awhile, I plan to relish it."

Everyone else rose up and said goodnight. Tymera stopped Per as he was getting ready to leave.

"Per, can we talk for a bit?" she asked him.

Per settled his large frame back into his chair as Tymera sat next to him.

"I know you have to leave tomorrow, but I'm scared," admitted Tymera.

"I know," said Per. "I was scared the first time I set out on my own. You have good people around you. Learn from them just like Idid from my friends."

"Per, you could stay here with me," Tymera blurted out suddenly. "I could make you love me."

Per licked his suddenly dry lips.

"Tymera, I could be happy here, but to risk your life by staying is unacceptable. I like you very much, but my heart belongs to another. Your friendship means a lot to me and you've done so much for us already."

Tymera's eyes filled with tears and she bolted out of the room. Per sighed and walked on up to his room. He sat down on the bed and started to check out his armor and gear. A knock on his door interrupted him.

"Come in," he said, while bracing for another visit from Tymera.

Per was surprised when Octavia opened the door and walked into the room. She was wearing a red velvet robe with matching slippers. Octavia closed the door and sat down in a chair opposite Per.

"I saw our young miss go crying into her bedroom," she said."Anything I should be concerned about?"

"She still wants us to stay. She said she could make me love her," answered Per.

"And you told her...?"

"I told her I couldn't put her life in danger. Those unsavory characters that the sheriff mentioned have probably talked about me. Someone is going to connect that the bounty to me and then all bets are off. Ialso told her my heart belongs to another and I valued her friendship," said Per.

"Well, we're leaving tomorrow," said Octavia. She then asked, "Does it?"

"Does what?" asked Per confused.

"Does your heart belong to another?"

Per smiled. "I will always have an abiding love for my mother."

Octavia's mouth dropped open before she started to laugh.

"Good thing we are leaving tomorrow," she said. "If she catches you in that lie, she'll hound you to the ends of the earth."

"I didn't lie," protested Per. "I just didn't tell her who."

Octavia just gave him a look and then stood up. Per also stood up quickly, lost his balance and caught himself, but not before he bumped into Octavia. They grabbed each other for balance and stayed on their feet. They both stood that way for a second and Per looked down into Octavia's eyes. Without thinking, he bent down and kissed her. Octavia's arms wrapped around his neck and she returned his kiss passionately. As the kiss ended, Octavia backed away from Per, her eyes sultry with desire.

"You know, we've had sex twice and I can't remember it at all," said Octavia in a husky voice. "I'm not counting the time I had to get you off because the ghost couldn't get you out of your lustcraze. I think it's about time I experienced it for myself. I borrowed something from Gedda just in case."

Octavia undid the sash to her robe and let it fall to the floor. Per's eyes just about popped out of his head. She was wearing the green shift that Gedda had worn when they had broken the ghost's curse. Whereas Gedda's slim frame barely filled out the very low-cut undergarment, Octavia's lush form filled it out to its limit. Her large breasts strained against the fabric as her hard nipples were clearly evident. Her breasts were mashed together and barely held in by the thin fabric. The shift fit snugly over Octavia's hips and rode up so that it barely concealed her ass.

"What do you think?" asked Octavia looking at Per with her sultry eyes.

"I think this one isn't going to last as long as your black one did," said Per.

Per stepped forward and kissed Octavia passionately. Their tongues flickered back and forth in each other's mouth. Per's hands caressed down from Octavia's shoulders and over her large tits, causing her to moan as his palms slid over her rock-hard nipples. Per could feel that the silky material of the shift was stretched taunt across her firm bosom. One of Per's hands went around to stroke up and down Octavia's back as his other hand dipped lower.

Octavia moaned again as his hand moved over her pubic mound and down to her pussy. She stiffened as one of Per's large fingers slid over her slit and stopped as the tip of his finger settled on top of her clit. Octavia groaned and ground her hips around in a circle as Per felt her juices begin to flow.

It was Per's turn to gasp and his body stiffened as Octavia's hand brushed over his turgid penis. Her hand rubbed, gripped and stroked his long hard shaft as her abundant breasts pressed against his chest. Octavia brought her other hand into play to also stroke and caress Per's cock.

"It's larger than I remember," teased Octavia. "Of course, the last time I consciously saw it, I was too busy trying to keep you from going off the deep end to remember much."

"Well, I can't remember it at all," said Per, sliding a finger up into Octavia's slick cunt causing her to shiver in pleasure. "I do remember Tectin, although that really wasn't me with you."

"I remember Tectin, too," gasped Octavia breathlessly as she struggled to undo Per's belt. She snorted in impatience as she finally unbuckled it and yanked his pants down. "I want to see...Whoa!!!"

Per's cock did not just flop out of his pants when they were pulled down. Instead it seemed to spring forward to stick straight out from Per's body. Octavia, in the act of pulling his pants down, had bent over. His cock was pointed straight at her face and her eyes were glued onto its bobbing head, which was only an inch away from her nose.

"It's magnificent," breathed Octavia as she straightened up never taking her eyes from his cock. Her fingers began to lightly trace over the ridges and texture of Per's penis.

"Octavia," gasped Per as his balls tightened because of her feathery touch. "You do remember that I have to cum twice?"

"I hadn't forgotten," she said with a wicked smile.

"Then it's time to get you out of that shift," said Per, pulling his shirt off over his head and kicking off his pants.

"Oh, no!" laughed Octavia dancing back away from his hands. "This is my insurance policy. It stays on and, if you rip or tear it, we stop."

"That's not fair," stated Per in mock seriousness. "What if it tears after I climax the first time, but before the second?"

"All restrictions are off after you've cum the first time," said Octavia with that wicked little smile again.

"Well, in that case..." and Per slowly slid closed to Octavia taking her gently into his arms.

Octavia looked up at Per in amazement as he kissed her softly and carefully picked her up to carry her over to the bed. Per lowered her slowly onto the bed before settling down beside her. He kissed her again as one hand glided up her thigh. Octavia gasped as his finger came into contact with her clitoris and began to gently rub it.

"Surprised?" asked Per as his finger continued to play across her pussy.

"You're...OH!...You're a man of hidden talents," gasped Octavia. "What else can you do?"

Per arched an eyebrow up at her before carefully getting up on his hands and knees. The last thing he wanted to do was to accidentally tear her shift. Per nibbled on her ear, which caused Octavia to shiver, and then moved down to nuzzle at her neck. Octavia gasped and moaned as Per moved lower and his lips captured and pulled at her hard nipples through the flimsy material. She moaned again as Per moved even lower until his head was nestled between her thighs.

Octavia was panting in anticipation as her musky aroma filled Per's nostrils. Per's tongue licked up slowly from the bottom to the top of her pussy. Octavia's entire body spasmed and her hands gripped at her quaking breasts as if trying to contain herself. Per smiled briefly at her reaction and then settled down to the business of licking Octavia's pussy till she orgasmed.

Octavia gasped and quivered as Per's tongue delved and probed the inner recesses of her cunt. Her passion flared as he flicked his tongue across her clit. Octavia spread her legs wider and her hands reached down to entwine with Per's green hair. She moaned loudly as she squeezed her breasts together between her arms.

"Oh, yes!" gasped Octavia. "Faster! Oh...Oh, yes! YES!It...(gasp)...it's so good. I'm...I'm...I'm cummmmmmmming!!!!"

Octavia's body tensed and her fingers gripped Per's hair tightly. She gasped aloud for breath each time her body spasmed. She held Per's mouth tightly against her cunt as her cunt gushed forth its juices only to be lapped up by his waiting tongue. Per continued sucking and licking at her pussy until Octavia's orgasm subsided.

"Oh, Gods, that was good!" panted Octavia as she released Per's hair."I didn't hurt you, did I?"

"No," said Per with a smile as he crawled up beside her. "My hair can stand a tug or two."

"How about a tug or two down here?" asked Octavia grasping his cock with both hands.

"Not too many," commented Per as she stroked up and down his hard shaft.

Octavia smiled at Per and then pushed him onto his back. She hitched the tight green shift up above her waist and threw a leg over Per's hips. Pointing his cock at the entrance to her hot wet cunt, Octavia sighed in satisfaction as she sank back, driving five inches of the hard shaft into her. Biting her lower lip, Octavia rocked forward allowing most of the five inches to slid out of her pussy before rocking back again now driving eight inches of his twelve-inch cock into her cunt.

Per held onto Octavia's hips as she fucked herself up and down on his cock. He could see her hard nipples shifting around in the silky material of the shift with a rustling sound as her oversized breasts swayed back and forth. Per's hands moved up and caught her meaty jugs, squeezing them gently.

Octavia pushed backwards determinately, shoving ten inches of Per's cock into her wet tight pussy. Her vaginal muscles gripped his prick like aglove. Biting her lip and shaking, Octavia kept pushing back onto his cock. Per could feel the pressure on the head of his cock and then something moved inside Octavia. With her eyes screwed shut and her mouth wide open, Octavia pushed back until all of Per's cock was inside her.

"Augh!...(huff, huff)...By all that's..." she gasped breathlessly as she remained still, adjusting to the massive slab of hard cock stuffed up her cunt. "Oh, Gods!...(woof)...Just...Just a minute!"

Per kept still, his cock tightly gripped in Octavia's over-stretched cunt. He slowly began to stroke his hands down her sides and then back up to caress her breasts. Gradually, Per felt Octavia loosen up and begin to move a little bit up and down on his cock.

At first, Octavia could move no more than half an inch either way. Per could feel the head of his cock pressing hard against the top of her cervix when she sank backwards. Slowly, Octavia began to allow more of his cock to slide out of her pussy before stuffing the entire length back inside her. Her breaths changed timbre from gasps of exertion to gasps of pleasure.

Per reached up and carefully slid his hands under the shoulder straps of Octavia's shift. His hands then traveled down to cup her heavy, firm breasts. Cautiously pushing the fabric aside, he let both of Octavia's large tits to spring free. They jutted straight out, held in place by the tight material on either side and underneath. The small skull-like mark was clearly visible on her right breast. Per avoided touching it knowing how upset Octavia was about getting it.

Octavia moaned as Per's hands Gripped her breasts and pinched the hard nipples between his fingers and thumbs. She closed her eyes and rocked forward so far that Per's cock was in danger of falling out of her cunt. With a quick thrust backwards, She took the entire length of his hard shaft inside her. Using the rebound of her ass off his hips, Octavia lurched forward until just the tip of his cock was inside her before thrusting back again.

Only the gasps of heavy breathing, the slap of flesh on flesh and the musky aroma of sex filled the air. Per's hands firmly held onto Octavia's quivering breasts. Octavia's body was covered in sweat as she banged herself down fully again and again on Per's cock. Per felt her juices dribbling down his legs and also felt the sexual tension build in his balls.

The tension built slowly and Per's body began to shake in anticipation of his release. He had already felt Octavia orgasm once, but she did not stop humping on his cock to savor her cumming. Her hard nipples dug into the palms of his hands and, suddenly, his balls tightened as if they had been squeezed.

"Arrrrrgh!!!!!" bellowed Per as his hands released Octavia's breasts and grasped her hips to pull her down hard on his cock.

Octavia gasped loudly and her eyes looked upward as she felt Per's cock expand. She gasped again as she felt his prick spurt long and hard, dumping a massive load of hot cum inside her vagina. Octavia's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief as Per's first spurt continued to hose cum inside her forever. She felt her womb fill up with his seed and she cried out as she orgasmed when Per's second spurt erupted inside her. Octavia collapsed onto Per's chest shaking and quivering, not even feeling his third spurt of gooey, sticky sperm.

Octavia's orgasm finally subsided and she became aware of Per's cock pulsating inside her pussy. If anything, she could have sworn that it was harder than before. His hands were shaking slightly as they held onto her hips. Octavia looked up and saw that his violet eyes were unfocused and tinged with red.

"It's alright, Per," she said to him, sliding forward so his cum-covered cock slurped out of her dripping snatch. She rolled over onto her elbows and knees, pulling a pillow to her head. "C'mon, Per, fuck me in the ass."

Octavia buried her face in the pillow and bit down on it. Although she had affairs before, she had never had anal intercourse before. The images she had received in Cific when the red-haired woman had done it with Karlto intrigued her. She had greased her asshole liberally before coming in to see Per and now waited with anticipation and trepidation.

Octavia felt Per move behind her. His hands grasped her asscheeks, pulling them apart to expose her puckered hole. Octavia took in a deep breath and held it as she felt Per's cum-slick cock touch the entrance to her bowels.

"Arrmummmph!!!!" screamed Octavia into the pillow as the head of Per's cock shoved past her sphincter muscle and brutally stretch her asshole open.

Even with her preparations and Per's slicked cock, it felt like a red hot poker was being shoved up her butt. Octavia screamed again into the pillow with tears springing from her eyes as Per gripped her hips and shoved six more inches of his cock into her ass. She felt him pull back and quickly hugged the pillow tighter. Octavia bit down on it and tried to relax her asshole. Her face screwed up in pain as Per fucked three-quarters of his hard cock into her ass. Her rectum was burning and on fire, but Octavia knew she could not stop Per now, even if she could. He was too far gone in his lustcraze with his only desire to climax again.

Octavia nearly passed out when Per shoved all of his cock up her ass. Her body was wracked in pain as her rectum was cruelly and obscenely stretched around the base of Per's two and a half inch diameter prick. Tears flowed from her eyes as Per, who was in a daze, started to fuck the entire length of his cock in and out of her asshole.

It was a couple of minutes of pure agony before Octavia felt her body begin to respond to Per's ass fucking. The pain lessened to be replaced by a perverse pleasure. Octavia felt her whole body shake from the impact each time Per slammed his cock into her ass.

Cum was dripping down Octavia's legs from her glistening pussy. Octavia moaned as she reached down between her legs with one hand and started to finger her clit. Her fingers were soon coated from their combined juices oozing out of her overfilled cunt.

Per continued to drive his cock relentlessly in and out of her widely-stretched rectum. Octavia was moaning into the pillow both from the pleasure her fingers were giving her and from Per's assfucking. The tension was thick in the air as both of them raced towards their own climax.

Octavia came first. She shoved backwards with one arm causing Per's cock to slam hard into her ass. That made her asshole stretch out just alittle bit more, sending a small, thrilling jolt of pain through her groin. Octavia's entire body tightened as her orgasm exploded inside her and her juices flowed out of her cunt and over her fingers.

Per's body was quivering against hers and Octavia felt his cock pulsating in her bowels. She winced as his hands gripped painfully on her hips and she felt his cock fire off its first load of creamy jizz into her ass. Again and again, his cock shot out its thick, white sperm. Octavia closed her eyes and savored the glow she felt.

"Octavia?" asked Per concerned and afraid to move.

"I'm fine, Per," she said. "Just pull out slowly."

Per slowly pulled his softening cock out of her ass. Octavia then collapsed onto her side. Per sat down beside her, stroking her arm and side.

"Are you sure you are alright?" asked Per, touching lightly on the bruises he had made on her hips.

"I'm fine," repeated Octavia, "and it was wonderful. I was hoping this would happen. I just didn't plan on you being so, um, large. Are you sorry it happened?"

"No, but I remember you screaming and I could not...no, would not stop. At times, this curse frightens me. Tonight, it is scaring me a little more than usual. It was, as you pointed out, absolutely wonderful. Thank you."

Octavia smiled at Per and touched his cheek.

"We'll have to do it again sometime," she said with a sly smile. "For now, I've got to get cleaned up. We have a long way to go tomorrow."

The next morning the group said goodbye to Tymera and the sheriff. They headed easterly towards the mountain range where the gorge was supposed to be. The weather was cold and blustery. Traveling was slow due to the snow on the ground.

"Brrr," shivered Karlto after they had plodded along for about two weeks. "I say, who decided to travel in this weather?"

"Correct me if I'm wrong, Oh Exalted One," said Gedda who looked like alarge bundle of furs and clothes on top of her horse. "I believe that it was you."

"Me?!?I must say, old girl, that you are mistaken. Who would want to travel in the dead of winter?"

Give it another month and a half and it will be spring," stated Per."Besides, you want someone else to get to the castle on the crag first?"




"They'll get there first because they'll just ride past our frozen bodies," muttered Pawl darkly.

The terrain became rougher as they traveled on. Hills, ridges and valleys replaced the flat country they had been riding over and it was becoming more wooded. A month had passed since they had left Tymera's manor when Cendri, who was riding point, raised her hand for them to stop. They were crossing aclearing and each looked around to see what made Cendri stop.

"What's wrong?" asked Per as Cendri rode back towards them.

"Smoke," she reported quietly. "I caught sight of a wisp of it on the other side of the hill to your right."

"Let's get back into the woods," said Per.

As they turned to hide in the woods, Gedda slipped off her horse and threw her furs onto the saddle. She then handed the reins to Pawl.

"Be right back," she said shivering in the cold.

"Be careful," advised Per.

Gedda smiled and took off running towards the hill. Per led the others back into the woods, but stayed close enough to the edge to be able to see where Gedda had gone. Time dragged by. It was almost fifteen minutes before Per saw Gedda plowing through the snow towards them. He rode out to her and pulled her up on his horse in front of him. Gedda's skin was white and her lips were blue. Per whipped off his cloak and wrapped it around the shivering girl.

"Why didn't you wear your cloak?" admonished Per as he turned his horse around and rode back into the woods.

"Too bulky," said Gedda through chattering teeth.

"What was it?" asked Cendri of Gedda as Per rode up to the others.

"People, five of them," answered Gedda. "They're in pretty bad shape. Four of them appear to be wounded. They are wrapped up in blankets and a single woman is seeing to their needs. I saw only one mule and no backpacks or other necessities. The woman is wearing ringmail and carrying a sword."

Per looked at everyone else and asked, "Well, what do you think?"

"We haven't seen anyone in a month," stated Octavia. "it would be a good chance to get information. If they are injured, I don't want to be surprised by what they ran into."

"I agree, old boy," said Karlto.

"Let's go meet the neighbors," said Per as he helped Gedda down and retrieved his cloak.

Per led everyone in a wide circle around the hill. He was pretty sure it was not a trap, but he still wanted some distance for the first initial contact. As they approached the other group, Per saw the woman that Gedda mentioned bend over and pick up two javelins.

"Hold it right there," she ordered when they had ridden to within atwo hundred feet. "We don't have anything, so we're not worth robbing. Just keep on moving."

"We're here to help you," said Per.

The woman looked to be about 22 years old. A fresh scar on her cheek was partially hidden by her blond hair. Per could see the fatigue in her blue eyes, but no weariness was apparent in the cocked arm holding ajavelin. She was a couple inches shy of being six feet tall and although her ringmail showed some damage, it was well cared for.

"Why?" she asked, not moving or letting down her guard.

"Because we can," replied Per, stepping down from his saddle and walking past the woman to check on the other people lying on the ground."Karlto, get over here."

"Your wish is my command, old boy," said Karlto, swinging a leg over his horse and dropping down to the ground.

The woman looked back and forth quickly between Per, Karlto and the rest of Per's companions, confused as to what to do. Finally, with a sigh, she lowered the javelin and placed them off to the side. Octavia, Gedda and Cendri all hopped off their horses and went over to help. Pawl relaxed his hands from the spell he had been prepared to throw.

Per, Karlto and the woman checked on her four other people as the rest of Per's group began to set up tents and make camp. The first man Karlto looked at brought a sigh of regret from him and a sad shake of his head before he covered him over with the blanket.

"We had heard about a castle on a crag," said the woman, looking mournfully at the dead man. "There were twelve of us when we started out. We rode to the gorge and ran into a troop of hobgoblins two days ago. There must have been forty of them. Before I knew it, we were in the middle of a pitched battle. Three of us escaped, dragging along two others. We got this far before the other two collapsed."

"We'll see what we can do for them," stated Per.

"Thank you," and the woman averted her eyes as Karlto pulled the blanket up over another prone figure.

"I'm sorry," apologized Karlto, standing up. "There was nothing I could do for those two. The other two have serious wounds, but should recover. I used healing spells on them and they seem a little better."

"My thanks," said the woman. "My name is Iona."

"My pleasure, I'm Karlto and this is Per."

"Let's get the rest of the tents up and get your people out of the cold," said Per.

The rest of the day was spent setting up camp and seeing to the needs of the injured. At supper, everyone, but the wounded met at Per's tent.

"Iona, how far are we away from the gorge?" asked Per.

"A little over half a day, I guess," she answered. "It took us longer to get here because of the wounded."

"We need to go to the gorge and see if the hobgoblins are still there. As Octavia said, I don't want to be surprised by them."

"Who's staying behind with the wounded?" asked Gedda.

"Everyone, but Iona and myself, if she doesn't mind," said Per. "Those forty could be four hundred by now and Iona has been over the terrain. We need to see what we are up against."

"I'll take you there," stated Iona.

"How about taking at least one more with you?" asked Octavia. "It'll give you a little more protection."

"At the expense of the camp protection," said Per. "Trust me. It's just a scouting mission. We'll be in and out before there's ahint of trouble."

The next morning, Per and Iona set off towards the gorge. They went on foot to cut down on the noise made by riding horses. It was not until several hours later that they came across tracks in the snow.

"Hobgoblins," said Per quietly, after studying the tracks. "About a dozen or so."

"Did we hurt them so badly?" asked Iona rhetorically. "I know Icut down two or three, but I don't know what the others did. It was one big melee."

"It might just be a scouting party or it may be the remnants of..."

"HURRAH!"

The loud shout resounded to Per's left about a hundred feet away and twelve hobgoblins crashed through the brush charging straight towards him and Iona.

"Run!" yelled Per to Iona as he ripped Dorgeth out of its sheath and raced towards the hobgoblins.

Dorgeth seemed to shimmer in the icy cold air. A dark blur flashed by Per's head causing him to jerk aside as a javelin buried itself into the lead hobgoblin's chest. A second blur followed the first piercing through the abdomen of another hobgoblin.

Per had no more time to watch as he crashed into another one with his shield, bowling the hobgoblin over. A straight thrust punched Dorgeth into the chest of a hobgoblin, who had raised a two-handed axe upward for a swing. The hobgoblin stood transfixed for a second with a foot or so of cold steel stuck in him until Per ripped his sword free to parry a spear thrust.

Per moved back as the remaining hobgoblins pressed on towards him. Blocking with his shield and parrying with his sword, Per kept moving to prevent them from getting behind him. One hobgoblin, desperate to kill Per, swung too far and over extended his sword arm. Per neatly loped off his hand at the wrist.

Per suddenly became aware that there were only five hobgoblins left facing him. Two of them turned and ran towards Iona. Per, blocked by the other three, could not go to her aid. Two swords and an axe slashed and cut at Per. Per, completely on the defensive, could do no more than block and evade to keep the sharp weapons from slicing into his body.

The three hobgoblins finally made a mistake by all swinging at Per at the same time. Their attacks interfered with one another and Per took the opportunity to spin out to one side. As he swung around, he slashed at the nearest hobgoblin with his sword and was rewarded as the hobgoblin's throat burst forth in a crimson fountain of blood.

The one of the other hobgoblins froze, shocked by the blood spurting out his comrade's throat. Per thrust forward, driving Dorgeth through the armor into the hobgoblin's heart.

The remaining hobgoblin turned to run and dropped his sword into the snow. He had barely taken a step when Per, using two hands on his sword, cleaved the hobgoblin from the base of his neck to halfway down his back.

Per kicked the dead hobgoblin off his sword and turned to help Iona. She was standing alone with both hobgoblins dead at her feet. Her sword was sticking straight up out of the chest of one of them as she used her right hand to try to staunch the flow of blood coming from a bad cut to her left arm.

"Sit here," said Per, leading Iona over to a rock bare of snow."Let's take a look at this."

The cut was long and deep. Iona gritted her teeth and grimaced as Per inspected it.

"We have to get you back to camp," he told her. "It's deep and is going to require stitches or Karlto's touch."

"Mt sword," said Iona, pointing at her sword still sticking out of the chest of the hobgoblin.

"First things first," said Per as he reached into his belt and pulled out a bandage roll.

Per bandaged her arm and then retrieved Iona's sword. He very quickly checked over the hobgoblins to see if they had any information or treasure on them. Per slit the throats of the wounded hobgoblins left alive and yanked the two javelins out of the bodies that they were stuck in. He saw that two of the enemy soldiers were pincushioned with darts. Per collected up what he could find and then the two of them headed back towards camp.

"Trust me! Trust me!" mimicked Octavia shrilly as she ranted at Per in his tent.

"Octavia..." Per started to say.

"No!" she snapped, cutting him off and wagging a finger at him. "You two could have been killed out there!"

"But we killed all of them," stated Iona, her arm in a sling.

"Oh, sure," rasped Octavia snidely. "What's two against twelve?If the rest of us had been there, we could have conquered the world!"

"But they're all dead!" yelled Iona.

"You don't know that," came a soft voice from the rear of the tent.

Everyone had gathered in Per's tent when he and Iona had returned. So far, it had not been a congratulatory or friendly meeting. The soft voice stopped everyone in their tracks since it was the first voice of moderation heard since the meeting started.

"You don't know that," repeated Cendri, sitting on a camp stool and holding a bowl of venison stew. "Per and Iona killed the twelve, but we still don't know if that was all of them or just a small part."

Iona opened her mouth to retort, but Per interrupted her.

"You're right, Cendri," he said. "We didn't even make it to the gorge. I'm sorry. We don't know any more than we did before."

"Well, I say, what do we do now?" asked Karlto.

"How attached are you to seeing the castle on the crag?" asked Pawl.

"At this point, not very," replied Karlto. "I need to meditate to rejuvenate my healing prayers. We have three injured people."

"How about we get out of here at first light?" asked Per of everyone."I think the castle will still be there whenever we return."

"I'm for that!" exclaimed Gedda as everyone else nodded affirmatively.

"I'll take the fourth watch," said Per.

"First!" yelled Octavia, Gedda, Pawl and Cendri all together, who all then broke out laughing.

"Third," said Karlto quickly.

"I'll take the fifth," stated Octavia.

"Sixth," said Pawl.

"Flip you for it," said Gedda to Cendri, tossing a coin in the air.

Cendri jumped up and snatched the coin out of the air. With a loud smack, she slapped it onto the back of her hand.

"Call it."

"Dragon," said Gedda.

Cendri lifted her hand to see the stamped image of a dragon facing upwards at her. With a look of disgust, she tossed the coin back to Gedda.

"What about me?" asked Iona.

"Get some rest," advised Per. "The nearest place we can go that I know of is Tymera's, which is about a month's travel from here."

"If we follow the watercourse north-east, we can hit a fair size village in three weeks," stated Iona. "That was where we started from. If it is possible, I would like to go back that way. I, uh, have to notify some families."

Per looked up at his friends. Karlto, Octavia, Pawl and Cendri all nodded affirmatively. Gedda just shrugged her shoulders noncommittally as if she did not care.

"Okay," said Per. "We'll head towards your village, Iona. We had better get some rest."

"Hold on," said Octavia as everyone started to get up. "Per, Iwant to apologize. I shouldn't have carried on that way."

"I should have thought up a better plan," stated Per.

"The plan was good," said Cendri as she walked towards the tent flap."You just forgot the old military axiom that no plan survives the first contact with the enemy," and she walked out of the tent to be followed by everyone else except Octavia.

"Remind me to get her to do the planning next time," said Per. "I have a funny feeling that she's a whiz at it."

"With her training?" scoffed Octavia. "No doubt about it."

"Think she'll make a good leader for our group?" asked Per.

"Per, she won't replace you," said Octavia, coming over and taking his hand. "Cendri knows a lot about military maneuvers. Gedda can steal any of us blind. Pawl...I don't even want to think about how much more intelligent Pawl is than all of us combined. Karlto, once you get past his randy exterior, is one of the most compassionate men I know. The thing that all of us need is a good leader with a vision. That's you. Each of us might be better than you, but you are the one who holds us all together."

"Thanks, Octavia," said Per, bending down to kiss her. "You know, Iactually feel that we are back on track again. For the past month, I've felt like we were going in the wrong direction."

"I haven't got the green shift with me, but..." inquired Octavia with a raised eyebrow.

Gedda patrolling around the camp swung wide of Per's tent. She did not want the stifled moans and groans coming from within to interfere with her guard duty.

In the tent, Per was groaning because Octavia, who was lying on top of him, was stroking his cock with both hands as her tongue licked slowly over its sensitive head. Of course, she was moaning because Per was returning the favor by lashing his tongue over her clitoris and delving into her moist slit.

Octavia shuddered as Per's tongue hit a particularly sensitive spot and she moaned around her mouth stuffed with the head of his cock. Her hands jacked up and down his hard shaft as her large breasts pressed against his stomach.

With Octavia's legs on either side of his head, Per reached around them to gently pull her vaginal lips apart, exposing the red wet flesh and allowing his tongue better access. He flicked his tongue up and down over the bud of her clitoris, soliciting a gasp from Octavia.

"Oh, yes!" she gasped. "That's...that's...that's it! Oh, Gods!I'm...I'm..."

Octavia's body quivered and her hands tightened on Per's cock as she orgasmed. With a loud groan of lust, her mouth sealed back over the head of his prick and her hands pumped it even faster. As he lapped at her juices, Per felt the tension build in his balls and, with a groan to match Octavia's, he came.

Octavia felt Per's muscles tighten. His cock pulsed in her hands giving her only a micro-second of notice. Even so, she was waiting and ready as his cock spewed forth its white liquid.

Per felt Octavia's mouth tighten, relax, and tighten again as she swallowed down his hot sperm. The sensation, along with the knowledge of what she was doing, seemed to touch off a mini-climax in Per as his balls squeezed again to shot out another load of gooey jizz.

"Mmm, even better than I remember," said Octavia' licking her lips."This time I was prepared for all of it." She rolled off Per and onto her back, with her knees bent up and her legs apart."Now, for your second time."

Per could feel the lust begin to burn in his groin. He shifted around and moved on top of Octavia between her open legs. Per braced his weight off Octavia, but more from experience than conscious thought as his hard cock touched the entrance to her pussy.

Octavia hunched her hips upwards as Per pushed forward. Eight inches of his large cock slid into her hot, slick cunt causing Octavia to gasp at the full feeling inside her. She reached down with both hands to pull at his hips.

"All of it," she moaned. "I want all of it."

Per, as his lustcraze took over, pulled back two inches and shoved forward.

"Oh, Gods!" groaned Octavia as all twelve inches of Per's cock pushed into her cunt and his balls slapped against her ass.

Per felt Octavia's pussy grip his shaft tightly. With a snort, he pulled back eight inches before shoving all of it back into her. Octavia's fingernails dug into his buttocks as his balls slapped against her ass again.

"Fuck me! Fuck me!" she hissed through clenched teeth.

Her words had no meaning to Per, but the fingernails in his ass was more than sufficient to convey her message to his lust-driven mind. Per banged Octavia with fast, vigorous strokes. Their bodies shook as their hips slapped against one another.

"OH-yes-OH-yes..." grunted Octavia in time to Per's thrusts. Her own hips flexed upward each time to meet his downward plunge.

Grunts, slapping flesh, and heavy breathing were the only sounds heard within the tent. Octavia matched Per thrust for thrust and her body broke out in a sweat as her sexual tension rose. She started to quiver and she knew that she was going to explode soon.

The red haze was filming over Per's eyes. His mind had gone totally blank, except for his overpowering need to cum again. He could feel the hot, wet cunt gripping his hard cock tightly each time he shoved it in. His balls slapped again and again and again against soft skin as the pressure grew within them.

"AAAUUUGGGHHH!!!" came the low, guttural cry from Octavia as every muscle in her body went rigid and her orgasm exploded inside her. Her fingernails dug once again into Per's butt.

Whether it was her cunt clamping down vise-like on his cock or the painful fingernails digging into his ass, one or the other set off Per's climax. With a mighty thrust, Per slammed his cock into Octavia and blasted a long, hard spurt of hot jism into her womb, which was followed by a second and third spurt.

Octavia, gasping for breath, collapsed limply on the blankets. Her cunt, overstuffed with hard cock, leaked cum out and down her ass. She looked up, a little light-headed, to see Per staring back down at her with concern in his eyes. His green hair was plastered to his sweaty brow.

"You okay?" panted Per.

Octavia licked her dry lips and gasped, "Now...now, I know the meaning of raw sex."

Per laughed and said, "If you want to know about raw sex, you should talk to my father."

"Uh, not without being very, very, very drunk. You've got me stretched to the max. I couldn't imagine what his got between his legs."

"You'll have to ask my mother," teased Per.

Octavia laughed, but cut it short. She then kissed Per.

"My cup overfloweth," she said. "When you're ready, pull out and move aside so I can dash out. I'll see you in the morning, love."

The next morning, they proceeded northeast. The going was slow because of the injured people. It was early afternoon when Iona stopped them at the bottom of a long ridge.

"I thought you'd like to see the gorge," she said as they gathered around her. "We can see it from the top of this ridge."




"Why didn't you just head straight from here to the gorge?" asked Gedda. "You may have missed the hobgoblins by taking a more direct route."

"The path as the crow flies from here involves a river and cliffs," replied Iona. "We took the direct path and ran into the hobgoblins."

"I, for one, would like to take a look, old boy," said Karlto to Per. "Get a look at the lay of the land for our return trip, so to speak."

Per looked around at everyone else.

"I'd like to go up to say goodbye," stated Iona. "I'm never coming back here."

"Go ahead," Gedda told her. "I'll watch over your friends."

Everyone, but Gedda and the wounded, headed up the steep slope. Upon reaching the top of the ridge, the whole panoramic view opened before them. Several miles away, aV-shaped gorge was cut between two cliff faces by a turbulent river. The river weaved back and forth towards the ridge where they were standing. Per saw that the river had cut through several hills and ridges, making cliffs and rough terrain between the ridge they were on and the gorge. The terrain, combined with heavy foliage, made it evident that the direct route was nearly impassable.

"What's that?" asked Cendri as she saw dark, moving dots coming out of the mouth of the gorge.

"I don't know," replied Octavia, peering hard at the gorge. "It's too far away."

"Whatever it is, it's organized," stated Cendri, becoming alarmed."They're forming up in rank and file."

"Wait a minute," said Pawl, who took a step forward.

Pawl raised his arms up and dropped what appeared to be an eyeball from his palm. The eyeball winked out of existence halfway to the ground as he muttered an incantation under his breath. He then brought his arms downward in two semi-circles and a pale blue circle of light formed in the air. The inside of the circle shimmered and coalesced into an image.

"By Zeus' bolt!" gasped Karlto as everyone else also gasped in alarm.

The image was a close-up view of the mouth of the gorge. The dark dots Cendri had seen were brown and black shaggy creatures wearing studded leather armor. Tufted ears sprouted from the tops of their heads and sharp canine teeth protruded over their lips. They carried morning stars and spears with the familiarity of long use. There had to be over fifty of them.

The image also showed about twenty hobgoblins also being present, who only stood shoulder-high to the creatures. The creatures were more massive and solidly built than the hobgoblins. One creature stepped in front of the formation, growled something unintelligible and the entire formation started trotting away from the gorge and out of sight of Pawl's magic circle. Pawl dispelled the circle with a wave of his hand.

"Bugbears," hissed Karlto, "and probably out searching for us. We need to get out of here and fast."

"Let's get off this ridge," said Per and, as they headed down the slope, he added, "We can't move fast. We don't have enough horses and the injured can't stand a lot of jostling."

"I'm not leaving them!" declared Iona defensively. "You go, if you want to, but I'm staying with them."

"Iona, we're not leaving you," assured Octavia.

"No, we're not, but you are leaving us," said Per. "Take my horse, Koth. He can carry two and can go all day. Head towards your village."

"What are you going to do?" asked Iona.

"Hopefully distract them enough to lead them away from you," said Per as he took his crossbow off his saddle and took up the reins of the mule carrying his gear.

"You can't!" cried out Iona. "You can't take them on without ahorse! Come with us. We can keep ahead of them and eventually lose them."

"I doubt it," stated Cendri. "They'll find the campsite and we didn't hide our trail. They'll catch up within a day or so."

"Iona, you also don't know Per," said Octavia. "He can go farther in a day on his legs than you can on a horse. You need to get out of here now."

They put the wounded on Per's horse. Iona turned around as her party was ready to leave.

"I'll repay you for this someday," she promised. "I never forget a debt...or a favor from friends."

Iona led her people into the woods and disappeared. Per turned back to his friends.

"Look, I..." he started to say, but was stopped by Pawl's upraised hand.

"Per, we've heard it all before on how you didn't mean to rope us into this," said Pawl. "Unfortunately, this is the only way that Iona has of getting away. What's the plan?"

"Cendri?" asked Per questioningly.

"What?"

"Any ideas?"

"Oh!Uh, let's get out of these woods. A straight-up fight is sure defeat. We have to do a hit and run to draw them off in a different direction. We will probably only get one shot at getting a good lick at them, but we need to find a spot where we won't get trapped or pinned down.

The first clash was perfect leaving three bugbears dead and several wounded. Per peppered the trotting lines of bugbears with quarrels from his crossbow, while Pawl launched fiery missiles at them made from thin air. As the bugbears and hobgoblins turned to face them, Octavia, Karlto, Cendri and Gedda charged out from the woods behind the enemy. The four of them rode through the forming up lines, hacking, slashing and bashing as they went. This caused enough confusion for all of them to get away and prepare for the next encounter.

"They're as tough as they look, old boy," commented Karlto to Per. "I swear my mace bounced off the skull of one of those beings without making a dent."

The second encounter was not as successful. The bugbears retreated out of crossbow range and began circling around. Pawl's magic took out four hobgoblins with an exploding fireball, but Per and the others had to retreat before they were cut off.

"They're following us," said Cendri to Per as they headed towards their next ambush site. "They are also adapting fast. We need to watch out in case they try an ambush of their own."

They set up at the third site and waited. It seemed like forever to Per before he heard the sounds of footsteps and jingling armor coming towards him. The enemy then came into sight.

"Shit!" cursed Per quietly. "Fall back."

Only the hobgoblins and about five bugbears were coming towards them. Cendri's words about an ambush rang in Per's head as he signaled everyone to fall back.

They had just left their positions and were moving back when a great shout of voices erupted to their left. A responding shout came from the group they had seen. Per barely had time to get over his surprise before the bugbears with their leader came charging in from their left.

Per squeezed off his crossbow and the quarrel thunked solidly into the bugbear leader's chest as he shouted, "Scatter and run for it!"
