When the portkey stopped spinning, Mariza and her family were on the steppes some distance from the cave of Ekwus’ Bellapheron clan, but close enough to see the path going down to the river. They were in the midst of a whole herd of grazing unicorns.
“Ooo horseys!” squealed Mariza’s daughter, Zelana as she reached out to pet a unicorn.
“They’re not horseys, they’re runicorns,” corrected her twin sister, Donia.
“That’s Unicorns,” corrected Mariza.
“Mama, can we ride them? Pleeeese!” begged Zurbgranaza’s daughter, Halmarča.
“I’m certain that won’t be a problem,” said Bangar the Centaur as he trotted through the herd to greet them. “After all, unlimited rides for you children was one of the things we traded to you.
In the name of Luna I give you greetings. I am Bangar, clanluna of the Bellapheron clan of the Clanluna, mated to Tanglefoot, Ipu, Lylac, Patience, and Eltunis.”
Mariza clasped the hands of the Centaur and Greeted him. After which each of her mates did the same followed by the children who were old enough to try. Bangar’s eyebrows rose when Vezava greeted him in the name of Mariza and stated that she was a clanmariza. But he let it pass without comment. Once the introductions were made, Bangar said:
“Ekwus had taken the rest of the centaurs out hunting, he should be back soon. In the meantime, How about I show you the cave so you can settle in?”
“Oh, we’re not staying in the cave,” replied Mariza.
“I’m going to need to cave to be emptied out so I can paint,” explained Esathonia.
“If you could just show us where we can set up out tipis?” asked Mariza.
All of Mariza’s mates wanted to share a tipi with her, but with the children, there wasn’t enough room. Mariza and Esathonia would have a tipi to themselves, Zurgranaza and Đučaviča would share a tipi and Vezava would have one to her self and her children. All of Mariza’s mates knew that she would make an extra effort to make time for each of them. So they weren’t TOO jealous of Esathonia. Besides, they had had years to get used to the soul bond between the two women.
By the time Mariza had enlarged, levitated and set up the tipis and they had gotten settled in, Ekwus and the centaurs were back. Each of them had a bison on the travois attached to his back. They helped each other unhitch, then started butchering the meat and setting it out to dry by fires. Mariza, her mates and their children pitched in to help.
By nightfall, all of the meat was sliced and drying by the fire with the exception of those portions that had been cooked for a greeting feast for Mariza’s clan. They had been so busy with the meat that there hadn’t been time to gather fresh vegetables, So the women had to share some of their grain and herbal spices from home as their contribution.
After, dinner, Mariza and Esathonia rode of the backs of Ekwus and Bangar far enough away that the glare of the fires wouldn’t hide the stars.
“I have to get a good look at it, try to memorize every detail,” said Esathonia, as she twisted around with her head bend back trying to take it all in.
“I’ve expanded on what you taught me about astronomy,” mused Mariza. “But I’ve gone in a different direction. You emphasized planets and constellations and how to use them for divination and timing magic. But I’ve been concentrating more on individual stars and where they align with the Earth.”
“Really? Sounds fascinating! Tell me more!” Said Ekwus. “What led you in this direction of study?”
“I had to live without a wand for years,” explained Mariza. “So I had find other was of doing magic, using Herbalogy, potions, Care and Runes. And one of the things I used was tapping into the magic that a star or the sun or the moon makes when it is in a certain place. I used Runestones to hold the magic . . . really big ones for some kinds of magic and I used Pleasures to bridge the gap between sky and Earth.”
“That wouldn’t work for us,” observed Ekwus. “We centaurs only Share Pleasures once a year. And when we do, we feel it too strongly to channel it into anything.”
“Maybe we could make some sort of potion to help you charge things with meditation, mused Mariza. “I’ll have to discuss it with our mother. Perhaps she might have a few ideas. . . .”
Although Ekwus had left to start his own Clan before Mariza could remember. She’d seen him at Summer Gatherings all through her childhood before she had left on her journey. Even after all these years, he still considered Ayla to be his mother. And Mariza had grown up thinking of the centaur as her older brother.
VANTHONOI VANTHONOI VANTHONOI VANTHONOI VANTHONOI VANTHONOI
As she lay on her back, one of the Vanthonoi men was holding Mariza’s arms over her head while Veltin, the same man who had Forced her twice before was kneeling between her legs, the tip of his rigid organ just touching her vulva, as he sought her entrance.
“Mariza?” Asked Esathonia.
Mariza turn her head as saw that her Soul Mate was being held in the exact same position as Veltin’s twin was about to enter her.
“Take my hand. I will help you,” said Esathonia, as she struggled against the man holding her arms over her head.
“I can’t! He’s holding me too tightly- Ughh!” groaned Mariza, in pain as he rammed his organ into her. “No! Don’t! Stop! Please stop!” begged Mariza.
Esathonia was making similar pleas for mercy as she was Forced, before the men started pouring a sour tasting drink that smelled strongly of alcohol down her throat.
When they did the same to Mariza she nearly choked on the foul drink.
Once Veltin had finished, another Man Forced her . . . and another . . . and another . . . and another . . . Esathonia was going through the same painful, frightening and humiliating trauma. And this time there was no wolf to save her. As the alcohol dull her senses She drifted in out of conciousness, yet she could still feel no only her own pain and distress but her soul mate’s too.
“Mariza Wake up!” said Đučaviča.
“Wake Up ‘thoni, you’re having a night mare!” said Vezava.
Mariza woke to find Zurbgranaza and Đučaviča shaking her. As she realized it was all just a dream, she pulled both her mates to a hug, before breaking into sobs. Vezeva was doing the same for Esathonia, who simultaniously reached out with Mariza so that they could hold each other’s hands while they hugged the women.
One of the drawbacks of a Soul Bond was that when one of them had a nightmare, the other would share it.
When Mariza had finally calmed down enough to speak, she pulled away from the women enough that she could look Đučavica in the eye, yet still had her arm around her.
“I still think killing all the Vanthonoi men was wrong . . . But I want to thank you for making sure that he will never Force me again,” Mariza told Đučaviča.
Đučaviča responded by pulling Mariza into a kiss.
As Mariza’s arousal grew, Esathonia, who was still holding Mariza’s hand, and thus feeling her Soul mate’s Needs and inspiring Needs of her own, pulled Vesava into a kiss.
Zurbgranaza, seeing where this was going, grabbed a leather long and tied Mariza and Esathonia’s hands together. As long as the two Soul Mates were touching, Esathonia would also enjoy Sharing with the women. Just as Mariza enjoyed Sharing with men when she touched Esathonia.
UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS
The next morning, after the women had fed and dressed their children, the girls were treated to unicorn rides. In particular, Zurgranaza’S daughter, Marizurba, wanted to spend a lot of time this summer on the back of a unicorn. She had just recently become a woman, but had decided to delay her 1st Rites until late so she could ride unicorns all summer for the last time.
Since the sons couldn’t ride unicorns, Mariza persuaded the centaurs carry the boys on their backs alongs side their mates who were carrying the girls. Even the adult women got to ride the centaurs.
It was late after noon before Mariza spotted the approach of the Circe clan of sphinxes. They were walking slowly because of their one adult human member and her children. The centaurs and unicorns road out to meet them with people still on their backs. In the exchanges of greetings that followed, Mariza was cool to Larkta. She still head a grudge against the former Vanthonoi woman for her part in attempted coup against Mariza for control of her Clan.
When the sun finally set, Esthonia returned from the cave where she had been painting all day. Mazia had prepared a dinner for them and their children.
“I’ve been thinking about our dream all day,” said Mariza.
(I know! I couldn’t help but overhear!) thought Esathonia.
(I don’t think that was just a nightmare, I think it might be a dream of the future) thought Mariza.
(I hope not! I Feeling your memories of being Forced was too much. I don’t want to actually go though that in real life!) thought Esathonia.
(Perhaps it’s just a warning. If so we should heed it. Just to be safe. I’ll ask Ekwus to post a couple of centaurs to guard you while you paint. And I will avoid going anywhere alone with out a large group to defend me) thought Mariza.
That night Mariza, Esathonia and a group of centaurs, this time joined by the sphinx clanluna of the Circe clan studied the stars and compared astronomical knowledge.
When they went to bed, once again, Mariza and Esathonia were wracked by nightmares. This time it was about when Đučaviča killed all the Vanthonoi men and took the women and children captive. Only in the dream, things were going a little different. Sometimes a couple would be roused from the drugs and fight her. Sometimes she would kill both parents and take the children. Sometimes she would kill everyone that shared a hearth, even the children.
Once again, both women woke screaming and had to be comforted by the other mates.
The next day, the Gaunt clan of centaurs and unicorns arrived. But there were a few humans who were members of this clan. Želže, formerly of the Đumbleđores, was mated to Rosen, the centaur clanluna of the Gaunt clan. And there was another all-human family too.
As usual, there was a session of star gazing before going to bed. And once again, Mariza inflicted her nightmares on her soul mate. This time she kept dreaming about falling off of her broom. Some times she’d fall to her death, other times she would survive the fall.
The next day, the Imago clan arrived. Atturous had had set out to be diverse when he had founded the clan. They had centaurs and unicorns and sphinxes Hippogriffs and Griffins and humans ranging from Weeches to Weez-urs to muggles to 1/2 Clan people. Their clanluna was Ina, daughter of Iga The Clanluna. And their oldest Weech was Lena, daughter of Luna.
The nightly star-gazing was already turning into the high point of this years Summer Gathering. Everyone was interested in the advances that Mariza had made in Astronomy.
Once again, Mariza had nightmares. This time, about the extermination of the Vanthonoi. Over and over she saw it happen.
The next day, the Janus clan of centaurs and unicorns arrived.
Again Mariza shared nightmares with her Soul mate Esathonia. Over and over she saw the Vanthonoi die, their women and children taken captive.
The Kettleburn clan was the last to arrive. They were mostly sphinxes and their displacer-beast pets. But one member of the Kettleburn clan was unforgetable to Mariza. Larnura, former Vanthon of the Vanthonoi had led an attempted coup against Mariza. As punishment she had been exiled to this clan of sphinxes. Mariza ignored her when introductions were made.
Now that they were all here, the 2nd Clanluna Summer Gathering had officially begun. As the host clanluna, Bangar the centaur led the opening ceremony. After officially opening the Summer Gathering, the two genders split up into two groups.
Broob of Imago clan acted as mog-ur, leading the males in a variation of the ancient Clan men’s ceremony, under the stars.
While Ina of Imago clan led the females in a dance around the central fire that resembled the ancient Clan women’s ceremony. Once the children had been put to bed, the gynosphinxes and unicorns danced with the naked women. Under the influence of the women’s potion, the unicorns would even let the women touch them and they danced together.
Mariza danced with abandon, occationally rubbing against a unicorn or a sphinx or another women. And she didn’t have a single nightmare after she collapsed into sleep.
When they awoke, Mariza and Esathonia were in a pile of naked women and gynosphinxes. The unicorns had all strolled off to graze. Once they had found their summer dresses, Mariza and her mates made a breakfast for their families, before Esathonia returned to paint to cave.
After breakfast, Mariza sought out Lena of the Imago clan. She found her with a small clump of grazing unicorns, tending the hippogriffs and griffins.
“Good morning Lena, did you and Ekwus get things traded?” asked Mariza.
“Oh yes, we were promised a large share of the meat from this summer’s hunt in exchange for giving you a pair each of griffins and hippogriffs,” replied Lena. “Would you like to ride them?”
“That would be wonderful!” gushed Mariza, before bowing to the hippogriffs.
All three of them bowed back, allowing Mariza to step a little closer. Lena was already brushing the medium one, so Mariza pulled a horse brush out of her pouch and started brushing the largest one. It cooed at her. Mariza continued to brush the hippogriff until she was certain it was comfortable with her before climbing onto it’s back. Lena mounted her own, as well. As soon as they were on, two hippogriffs shot into the air. The small one and the griffins followed.
“Wee-heee-heee!” squealed Mariza as she soared into the air. This was much better than riding a broom! She didn’t have to fight it at all! On the other hand, she wasn’t controlling her steed, she was just letting him fly where ever he wanted.
Gently, she stroked the right side of the hippogriff’s neck, and it turned to the right. She tried stroking the left side of its’ neck and it turned left. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she stroked the underside of his neck and he started climbing. As her hands moved away from the front it leveled out. stroking the back of his neck made him dive. She spent all morning riding him, learning how to control his movements. Lena’s hippogriff followed along-side her, with the other one and the griffins flitting about, but staying in the same general vicinity.
“Mariza, you are amazing! I didn’t even know it was possible to control where they flew,” shouted Lena, as Mariza blushed with the praise. “Listen, do you want to land somewhere and go “hunting?”
Mariza nodded, but turned to back towards the Summer Gathering before landing where they started.
“I was kind of hoping you’d want to go someone more private to “hunt”, groused Lena.
“Look Lena, as a clanluna, I’m happy to Relieve your Need, but I’m a bit surprised. Why do you want to go “hunting” with me?” asked Mariza.
“Well, in recent years the traders have started bringing back stories about your skill in the furs,” explained Lena. “They even say you Pleasured The Clanluna so much she hurt herself.”
“That was an accident,” defended Mariza. “Look, I like “hunting” with women. But ever since that incident with Iga, women have been asking me to “hunt” out of couriosity. Sometimes that don’t realize that they don’t like to Share with women until we’re already “hunting”. I find it frustrating. So if you want me to do my duty as a clanluna and Relieve your Need, I’d me happy to. But don’t ask me to Share, unless you are also willing to Share. Have you ever Shared Pleasures with another woman before?”
“Does a gynosphinx count?” asked Lena.
“”Wha- wha- wh-” stammered Mariza, in shock. “What was it like?”
“Well her fur is soft and she’s a good kisser. But her tongue is scratchy,” replied Lena. “But usually she’s very careful when she licks me.”
“You’ve done this more that once!” accused Mariza.
“I live in a clan with sphinxes and centaurs and regular people,” defended Lena. “And we have a Winter Mother festival, just like any other clan.”
“Alright. But how about after we’ve fed our families lunch, you come over and Share in my tipi with me?” suggested Mariza.
“Great!” said Lena, pulling Mariza into a hug.
Mariza flicked her tongue on Lena’s ear for and instant. The woman’s quiver in her arms told her that Lena definately did like Sharing with women.
Since her tipi wouldn’t fit them all, Mariza and her mates prepared food and served their children outside. But Mariza hadn’t expected Lena to bring her mates and children along with food to share with Mariza’s family.
“So is she going to become your 7th mate?” asked Vezava’s daughter, Marizava.
Vezava began choking on her food. Once she had gotten under control, Mariza answered the girl.
“Lena and I were planning to go “hunting” after Lunch,” explained Mariza.
(in our tipi? I think she’ll figure out what you’re “hunting” in there) thought Esathonia. “Why don’t you bring her by the cave? I think some of the stars are ready to be charged.”
“She means she wants you to Share Pleasures with her and Mariza,” explained Marizava.
The younger girls giggled at that.
“Thank you, I think that I will,” replied Lena.
“Telnura and I can help watch the children,” offered Lena’s mate, Đrun. “And then later, perhaps, Đučaviča, would you care to go hunting with me?”
After lunch, Esathonia led Mariza and Lena back to the cave. It was smallish, with the entire ceiling painted a deep indigo colour. The major summer stars were already painted on it. After today, she still needed to paint the lesser, dimmer stars and the milky way. Lena started to draw her wand.
“So how do we do this?” asked Lena.
“Well, first, I need to carve runes on the stars we’re charging, now,” said Mariza, peering at Lena, intently. “I think you can handle four.”
“Stella Litteras!” shouted Mariza, as a blue beam shot out of her wand, allowing her to carve a rune into the ceiling, where the star was painted. She repeated the procedure three more times before turning to look at Lena.
“So what’s next?” asked Lena.
Mariza just smiled and pulled her into a kiss. When she felt Lena respond, she deepened it. Esathonia, meanwhile, had reached into where Mariza’s summer-dress was open on the side so she could touch a bit of Mariza’s skin. She closed her eyes and let the sensations that Mariza was feeling wash over her. As Mariza and Lena fondled each other and their arousal grew, Esathonia began untying the laces on the sides of Mariza’s summer-dress where it was open on the sides. It was completely unlaced by the time Mariza was ready to pull Lena’s summer dress over her head. Lena was able to quickly and easily return the favor. Mariza began kissing her way down Lena’s body as she coaxed the woman into laying on the floor of the cave. Esathonia broke contact with Mariza briefly enough to loosen the laces on the sides of her own summer-dress and take it off. She then, used one of Mariza’s laces to tie her hand to Mariza. Skin to skin contact with her Soul Bound mate would allow her to not only feel what Mariza was feeling, but also to enjoy touching and being touched by Lena on her own. Esathonia began kissing Lena and foddling her, while Mariza knelt between Lena’s legs, kissing and licking her woman parts.
(I think she’s almost ready,) thought Mariza. (But I can’t stop or she’ll lose it. Can you relay my words?)
“Lena, I need you to pick up your wand. Pick up your wand, Lena,” said Esathonia as the woman moaned and thrashed, her wand shaking in her trembling hand. “Now pick a star and point your wand at it. . . When your Need is Relieved, we want you to channel your Pleasures through the wand and use them to charge the rune.”
“Oh! Oh! Oooooh!” Moaned Lena as a blue beam shot out of her wand, missing the rune carved star she had been aiming at. “Oooh! Oooh! Oh!”
Mariza gently blew on Lena’s womaness as she slow slid her finger out of her before telling her:
“It’s all right. It’s all right. When you’re ready, we’ll try again”
It took several more tries before Lena was able to charge a star. Finally, after all four stars had been charged, Mariza Relieved her Need so strongly that Lena stopped breathing. Mariza climbed up to lay next to her so that she and Esathonia could sandwitch Lena in a hug between them as they waited for her to come back. Finally, she took a breath, and started crying as she hugged Mariza closer. After a few minutes, her sobs turned to laughter. Finally she calmed down enough to loosen her grip and look Mariza in the eyes.
“Is becoming your Seventh mate still an option?” asked Lena.
Esathonia laughed out loud at that.
“Ask me again after you’ve Relieved my Need,” giggled Mariza. “I think I will charge eight stars.”
With Esathonia’s help, Lena learned how to do to Mariza what had been done to her. When Mariza finally released Lena from the post Pleasure hug, she said:
“There are lots of stars to charge. You are welcome to help with this again. But for now, I think ‘Thoni and I would like to charge a few by ourselves.”
“All right, see you tomorrow,” said Lena before giving Mariza and Esathonia each a kiss and hug. She then pulled her summer dress back on and strolled out of the cave.
After Esathonia had helped Mariza charge a few more stars, Mariza sent her to fetch each of her other mates, so that could have a turn charging stars. The only mate who didn’t take a turn with Mariza was Đučaviča. She was spending the night with Lena’s mate, Đrun.
That night, Mariza once again had nightmares, which Esathonia was forced to share. This time, in her dreams, The Vanthonoi had come to kill Mariza’s Clan. There was a big battle before the surviving adults of her Clan were killed one by one. Mariza was particularly disturbed at seening her mate, Đebotića, die. The only adult spared was Priamen.
The next morning, Mariza gathered all the women of the Summer Gathering to go foraging for wild plants. Lena and her sister mate, L, were glowing and flirting with each other as they foraged. Đučaviča seemed particularly happy too. Apparently Đrun had Relieved her Need well last night. And seeing Mariza’s own mates happy was not particularly unusual. But Mariza continued to be haunted by her dreams.
After lunch, Mariza and Lena spent the afternoon, training the hippogriffs and griffins.
That night there was another session under the Stars with the Centaurs before going to bed.
This time, Mariza’s nightmares were all about falling . . . falling off a cliff . . . . falling of her broom . . . . falling off a hippogriff. . . . over and over Mariza and Esathonia fell . . . all night long.

When the portkey stopped spinning, Mariza and her family were on the steppes some distance from the cave of Ekwus’ Bellapheron clan, but close enough to see the path going down to the river. They were in the midst of a whole herd of grazing unicorns.
“Ooo horseys!” squealed Mariza’s daughter, Zelana as she reached out to pet a unicorn.
“They’re not horseys, they’re runicorns,” corrected her twin sister, Donia.
“That’s Unicorns,” corrected Mariza.
“Mama, can we ride them? Pleeeese!” begged Zurbgranaza’s daughter, Halmarča.
“I’m certain that won’t be a problem,” said Bangar the Centaur as he trotted through the herd to greet them. “After all, unlimited rides for you children was one of the things we traded to you.
In the name of Luna I give you greetings. I am Bangar, clanluna of the Bellapheron clan of the Clanluna, mated to Tanglefoot, Ipu, Lylac, Patience, and Eltunis.”
Mariza clasped the hands of the Centaur and Greeted him. After which each of her mates did the same followed by the children who were old enough to try. Bangar’s eyebrows rose when Vezava greeted him in the name of Mariza and stated that she was a clanmariza. But he let it pass without comment. Once the introductions were made, Bangar said:
“Ekwus had taken the rest of the centaurs out hunting, he should be back soon. In the meantime, How about I show you the cave so you can settle in?”
“Oh, we’re not staying in the cave,” replied Mariza.
“I’m going to need to cave to be emptied out so I can paint,” explained Esathonia.
“If you could just show us where we can set up out tipis?” asked Mariza.
All of Mariza’s mates wanted to share a tipi with her, but with the children, there wasn’t enough room. Mariza and Esathonia would have a tipi to themselves, Zurgranaza and Đučaviča would share a tipi and Vezava would have one to her self and her children. All of Mariza’s mates knew that she would make an extra effort to make time for each of them. So they weren’t TOO jealous of Esathonia. Besides, they had had years to get used to the soul bond between the two women.
By the time Mariza had enlarged, levitated and set up the tipis and they had gotten settled in, Ekwus and the centaurs were back. Each of them had a bison on the travois attached to his back. They helped each other unhitch, then started butchering the meat and setting it out to dry by fires. Mariza, her mates and their children pitched in to help.
By nightfall, all of the meat was sliced and drying by the fire with the exception of those portions that had been cooked for a greeting feast for Mariza’s clan. They had been so busy with the meat that there hadn’t been time to gather fresh vegetables, So the women had to share some of their grain and herbal spices from home as their contribution.
After, dinner, Mariza and Esathonia rode of the backs of Ekwus and Bangar far enough away that the glare of the fires wouldn’t hide the stars.
“I have to get a good look at it, try to memorize every detail,” said Esathonia, as she twisted around with her head bend back trying to take it all in.
“I’ve expanded on what you taught me about astronomy,” mused Mariza. “But I’ve gone in a different direction. You emphasized planets and constellations and how to use them for divination and timing magic. But I’ve been concentrating more on individual stars and where they align with the Earth.”
“Really? Sounds fascinating! Tell me more!” Said Ekwus. “What led you in this direction of study?”
“I had to live without a wand for years,” explained Mariza. “So I had find other was of doing magic, using Herbalogy, potions, Care and Runes. And one of the things I used was tapping into the magic that a star or the sun or the moon makes when it is in a certain place. I used Runestones to hold the magic . . . really big ones for some kinds of magic and I used Pleasures to bridge the gap between sky and Earth.”
“That wouldn’t work for us,” observed Ekwus. “We centaurs only Share Pleasures once a year. And when we do, we feel it too strongly to channel it into anything.”
“Maybe we could make some sort of potion to help you charge things with meditation, mused Mariza. “I’ll have to discuss it with our mother. Perhaps she might have a few ideas. . . .”
Although Ekwus had left to start his own Clan before Mariza could remember. She’d seen him at Summer Gatherings all through her childhood before she had left on her journey. Even after all these years, he still considered Ayla to be his mother. And Mariza had grown up thinking of the centaur as her older brother.
VANTHONOI VANTHONOI VANTHONOI VANTHONOI VANTHONOI VANTHONOI
As she lay on her back, one of the Vanthonoi men was holding Mariza’s arms over her head while Veltin, the same man who had Forced her twice before was kneeling between her legs, the tip of his rigid organ just touching her vulva, as he sought her entrance.
“Mariza?” Asked Esathonia.
Mariza turn her head as saw that her Soul Mate was being held in the exact same position as Veltin’s twin was about to enter her.
“Take my hand. I will help you,” said Esathonia, as she struggled against the man holding her arms over her head.
“I can’t! He’s holding me too tightly- Ughh!” groaned Mariza, in pain as he rammed his organ into her. “No! Don’t! Stop! Please stop!” begged Mariza.
Esathonia was making similar pleas for mercy as she was Forced, before the men started pouring a sour tasting drink that smelled strongly of alcohol down her throat.
When they did the same to Mariza she nearly choked on the foul drink.
Once Veltin had finished, another Man Forced her . . . and another . . . and another . . . and another . . . Esathonia was going through the same painful, frightening and humiliating trauma. And this time there was no wolf to save her. As the alcohol dull her senses She drifted in out of conciousness, yet she could still feel no only her own pain and distress but her soul mate’s too.
“Mariza Wake up!” said Đučaviča.
“Wake Up ‘thoni, you’re having a night mare!” said Vezava.
Mariza woke to find Zurbgranaza and Đučaviča shaking her. As she realized it was all just a dream, she pulled both her mates to a hug, before breaking into sobs. Vezeva was doing the same for Esathonia, who simultaniously reached out with Mariza so that they could hold each other’s hands while they hugged the women.
One of the drawbacks of a Soul Bond was that when one of them had a nightmare, the other would share it.
When Mariza had finally calmed down enough to speak, she pulled away from the women enough that she could look Đučavica in the eye, yet still had her arm around her.
“I still think killing all the Vanthonoi men was wrong . . . But I want to thank you for making sure that he will never Force me again,” Mariza told Đučaviča.
Đučaviča responded by pulling Mariza into a kiss.
As Mariza’s arousal grew, Esathonia, who was still holding Mariza’s hand, and thus feeling her Soul mate’s Needs and inspiring Needs of her own, pulled Vesava into a kiss.
Zurbgranaza, seeing where this was going, grabbed a leather long and tied Mariza and Esathonia’s hands together. As long as the two Soul Mates were touching, Esathonia would also enjoy Sharing with the women. Just as Mariza enjoyed Sharing with men when she touched Esathonia.
UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS
The next morning, after the women had fed and dressed their children, the girls were treated to unicorn rides. In particular, Zurgranaza’S daughter, Marizurba, wanted to spend a lot of time this summer on the back of a unicorn. She had just recently become a woman, but had decided to delay her 1st Rites until late so she could ride unicorns all summer for the last time.
Since the sons couldn’t ride unicorns, Mariza persuaded the centaurs carry the boys on their backs alongs side their mates who were carrying the girls. Even the adult women got to ride the centaurs.
It was late after noon before Mariza spotted the approach of the Circe clan of sphinxes. They were walking slowly because of their one adult human member and her children. The centaurs and unicorns road out to meet them with people still on their backs. In the exchanges of greetings that followed, Mariza was cool to Larkta. She still head a grudge against the former Vanthonoi woman for her part in attempted coup against Mariza for control of her Clan.
When the sun finally set, Esthonia returned from the cave where she had been painting all day. Mazia had prepared a dinner for them and their children.
“I’ve been thinking about our dream all day,” said Mariza.
(I know! I couldn’t help but overhear!) thought Esathonia.
(I don’t think that was just a nightmare, I think it might be a dream of the future) thought Mariza.
(I hope not! I Feeling your memories of being Forced was too much. I don’t want to actually go though that in real life!) thought Esathonia.
(Perhaps it’s just a warning. If so we should heed it. Just to be safe. I’ll ask Ekwus to post a couple of centaurs to guard you while you paint. And I will avoid going anywhere alone with out a large group to defend me) thought Mariza.
That night Mariza, Esathonia and a group of centaurs, this time joined by the sphinx clanluna of the Circe clan studied the stars and compared astronomical knowledge.
When they went to bed, once again, Mariza and Esathonia were wracked by nightmares. This time it was about when Đučaviča killed all the Vanthonoi men and took the women and children captive. Only in the dream, things were going a little different. Sometimes a couple would be roused from the drugs and fight her. Sometimes she would kill both parents and take the children. Sometimes she would kill everyone that shared a hearth, even the children.
Once again, both women woke screaming and had to be comforted by the other mates.
The next day, the Gaunt clan of centaurs and unicorns arrived. But there were a few humans who were members of this clan. Želže, formerly of the Đumbleđores, was mated to Rosen, the centaur clanluna of the Gaunt clan. And there was another all-human family too.
As usual, there was a session of star gazing before going to bed. And once again, Mariza inflicted her nightmares on her soul mate. This time she kept dreaming about falling off of her broom. Some times she’d fall to her death, other times she would survive the fall.
The next day, the Imago clan arrived. Atturous had had set out to be diverse when he had founded the clan. They had centaurs and unicorns and sphinxes Hippogriffs and Griffins and humans ranging from Weeches to Weez-urs to muggles to 1/2 Clan people. Their clanluna was Ina, daughter of Iga The Clanluna. And their oldest Weech was Lena, daughter of Luna.
The nightly star-gazing was already turning into the high point of this years Summer Gathering. Everyone was interested in the advances that Mariza had made in Astronomy.
Once again, Mariza had nightmares. This time, about the extermination of the Vanthonoi. Over and over she saw it happen.
The next day, the Janus clan of centaurs and unicorns arrived.
Again Mariza shared nightmares with her Soul mate Esathonia. Over and over she saw the Vanthonoi die, their women and children taken captive.
The Kettleburn clan was the last to arrive. They were mostly sphinxes and their displacer-beast pets. But one member of the Kettleburn clan was unforgetable to Mariza. Larnura, former Vanthon of the Vanthonoi had led an attempted coup against Mariza. As punishment she had been exiled to this clan of sphinxes. Mariza ignored her when introductions were made.
Now that they were all here, the 2nd Clanluna Summer Gathering had officially begun. As the host clanluna, Bangar the centaur led the opening ceremony. After officially opening the Summer Gathering, the two genders split up into two groups.
Broob of Imago clan acted as mog-ur, leading the males in a variation of the ancient Clan men’s ceremony, under the stars.
While Ina of Imago clan led the females in a dance around the central fire that resembled the ancient Clan women’s ceremony. Once the children had been put to bed, the gynosphinxes and unicorns danced with the naked women. Under the influence of the women’s potion, the unicorns would even let the women touch them and they danced together.
Mariza danced with abandon, occationally rubbing against a unicorn or a sphinx or another women. And she didn’t have a single nightmare after she collapsed into sleep.
When they awoke, Mariza and Esathonia were in a pile of naked women and gynosphinxes. The unicorns had all strolled off to graze. Once they had found their summer dresses, Mariza and her mates made a breakfast for their families, before Esathonia returned to paint to cave.
After breakfast, Mariza sought out Lena of the Imago clan. She found her with a small clump of grazing unicorns, tending the hippogriffs and griffins.
“Good morning Lena, did you and Ekwus get things traded?” asked Mariza.
“Oh yes, we were promised a large share of the meat from this summer’s hunt in exchange for giving you a pair each of griffins and hippogriffs,” replied Lena. “Would you like to ride them?”
“That would be wonderful!” gushed Mariza, before bowing to the hippogriffs.
All three of them bowed back, allowing Mariza to step a little closer. Lena was already brushing the medium one, so Mariza pulled a horse brush out of her pouch and started brushing the largest one. It cooed at her. Mariza continued to brush the hippogriff until she was certain it was comfortable with her before climbing onto it’s back. Lena mounted her own, as well. As soon as they were on, two hippogriffs shot into the air. The small one and the griffins followed.
“Wee-heee-heee!” squealed Mariza as she soared into the air. This was much better than riding a broom! She didn’t have to fight it at all! On the other hand, she wasn’t controlling her steed, she was just letting him fly where ever he wanted.
Gently, she stroked the right side of the hippogriff’s neck, and it turned to the right. She tried stroking the left side of its’ neck and it turned left. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she stroked the underside of his neck and he started climbing. As her hands moved away from the front it leveled out. stroking the back of his neck made him dive. She spent all morning riding him, learning how to control his movements. Lena’s hippogriff followed along-side her, with the other one and the griffins flitting about, but staying in the same general vicinity.
“Mariza, you are amazing! I didn’t even know it was possible to control where they flew,” shouted Lena, as Mariza blushed with the praise. “Listen, do you want to land somewhere and go “hunting?”
Mariza nodded, but turned to back towards the Summer Gathering before landing where they started.
“I was kind of hoping you’d want to go someone more private to “hunt”, groused Lena.
“Look Lena, as a clanluna, I’m happy to Relieve your Need, but I’m a bit surprised. Why do you want to go “hunting” with me?” asked Mariza.
“Well, in recent years the traders have started bringing back stories about your skill in the furs,” explained Lena. “They even say you Pleasured The Clanluna so much she hurt herself.”
“That was an accident,” defended Mariza. “Look, I like “hunting” with women. But ever since that incident with Iga, women have been asking me to “hunt” out of couriosity. Sometimes that don’t realize that they don’t like to Share with women until we’re already “hunting”. I find it frustrating. So if you want me to do my duty as a clanluna and Relieve your Need, I’d me happy to. But don’t ask me to Share, unless you are also willing to Share. Have you ever Shared Pleasures with another woman before?”
“Does a gynosphinx count?” asked Lena.
“”Wha- wha- wh-” stammered Mariza, in shock. “What was it like?”
“Well her fur is soft and she’s a good kisser. But her tongue is scratchy,” replied Lena. “But usually she’s very careful when she licks me.”
“You’ve done this more that once!” accused Mariza.
“I live in a clan with sphinxes and centaurs and regular people,” defended Lena. “And we have a Winter Mother festival, just like any other clan.”
“Alright. But how about after we’ve fed our families lunch, you come over and Share in my tipi with me?” suggested Mariza.
“Great!” said Lena, pulling Mariza into a hug.
Mariza flicked her tongue on Lena’s ear for and instant. The woman’s quiver in her arms told her that Lena definately did like Sharing with women.
Since her tipi wouldn’t fit them all, Mariza and her mates prepared food and served their children outside. But Mariza hadn’t expected Lena to bring her mates and children along with food to share with Mariza’s family.
“So is she going to become your 7th mate?” asked Vezava’s daughter, Marizava.
Vezava began choking on her food. Once she had gotten under control, Mariza answered the girl.
“Lena and I were planning to go “hunting” after Lunch,” explained Mariza.
(in our tipi? I think she’ll figure out what you’re “hunting” in there) thought Esathonia. “Why don’t you bring her by the cave? I think some of the stars are ready to be charged.”
“She means she wants you to Share Pleasures with her and Mariza,” explained Marizava.
The younger girls giggled at that.
“Thank you, I think that I will,” replied Lena.
“Telnura and I can help watch the children,” offered Lena’s mate, Đrun. “And then later, perhaps, Đučaviča, would you care to go hunting with me?”
After lunch, Esathonia led Mariza and Lena back to the cave. It was smallish, with the entire ceiling painted a deep indigo colour. The major summer stars were already painted on it. After today, she still needed to paint the lesser, dimmer stars and the milky way. Lena started to draw her wand.
“So how do we do this?” asked Lena.
“Well, first, I need to carve runes on the stars we’re charging, now,” said Mariza, peering at Lena, intently. “I think you can handle four.”
“Stella Litteras!” shouted Mariza, as a blue beam shot out of her wand, allowing her to carve a rune into the ceiling, where the star was painted. She repeated the procedure three more times before turning to look at Lena.
“So what’s next?” asked Lena.
Mariza just smiled and pulled her into a kiss. When she felt Lena respond, she deepened it. Esathonia, meanwhile, had reached into where Mariza’s summer-dress was open on the side so she could touch a bit of Mariza’s skin. She closed her eyes and let the sensations that Mariza was feeling wash over her. As Mariza and Lena fondled each other and their arousal grew, Esathonia began untying the laces on the sides of Mariza’s summer-dress where it was open on the sides. It was completely unlaced by the time Mariza was ready to pull Lena’s summer dress over her head. Lena was able to quickly and easily return the favor. Mariza began kissing her way down Lena’s body as she coaxed the woman into laying on the floor of the cave. Esathonia broke contact with Mariza briefly enough to loosen the laces on the sides of her own summer-dress and take it off. She then, used one of Mariza’s laces to tie her hand to Mariza. Skin to skin contact with her Soul Bound mate would allow her to not only feel what Mariza was feeling, but also to enjoy touching and being touched by Lena on her own. Esathonia began kissing Lena and foddling her, while Mariza knelt between Lena’s legs, kissing and licking her woman parts.
(I think she’s almost ready,) thought Mariza. (But I can’t stop or she’ll lose it. Can you relay my words?)
“Lena, I need you to pick up your wand. Pick up your wand, Lena,” said Esathonia as the woman moaned and thrashed, her wand shaking in her trembling hand. “Now pick a star and point your wand at it. . . When your Need is Relieved, we want you to channel your Pleasures through the wand and use them to charge the rune.”
“Oh! Oh! Oooooh!” Moaned Lena as a blue beam shot out of her wand, missing the rune carved star she had been aiming at. “Oooh! Oooh! Oh!”
Mariza gently blew on Lena’s womaness as she slow slid her finger out of her before telling her:
“It’s all right. It’s all right. When you’re ready, we’ll try again”
It took several more tries before Lena was able to charge a star. Finally, after all four stars had been charged, Mariza Relieved her Need so strongly that Lena stopped breathing. Mariza climbed up to lay next to her so that she and Esathonia could sandwitch Lena in a hug between them as they waited for her to come back. Finally, she took a breath, and started crying as she hugged Mariza closer. After a few minutes, her sobs turned to laughter. Finally she calmed down enough to loosen her grip and look Mariza in the eyes.
“Is becoming your Seventh mate still an option?” asked Lena.
Esathonia laughed out loud at that.
“Ask me again after you’ve Relieved my Need,” giggled Mariza. “I think I will charge eight stars.”
With Esathonia’s help, Lena learned how to do to Mariza what had been done to her. When Mariza finally released Lena from the post Pleasure hug, she said:
“There are lots of stars to charge. You are welcome to help with this again. But for now, I think ‘Thoni and I would like to charge a few by ourselves.”
“All right, see you tomorrow,” said Lena before giving Mariza and Esathonia each a kiss and hug. She then pulled her summer dress back on and strolled out of the cave.
After Esathonia had helped Mariza charge a few more stars, Mariza sent her to fetch each of her other mates, so that could have a turn charging stars. The only mate who didn’t take a turn with Mariza was Đučaviča. She was spending the night with Lena’s mate, Đrun.
That night, Mariza once again had nightmares, which Esathonia was forced to share. This time, in her dreams, The Vanthonoi had come to kill Mariza’s Clan. There was a big battle before the surviving adults of her Clan were killed one by one. Mariza was particularly disturbed at seening her mate, Đebotića, die. The only adult spared was Priamen.
The next morning, Mariza gathered all the women of the Summer Gathering to go foraging for wild plants. Lena and her sister mate, L, were glowing and flirting with each other as they foraged. Đučaviča seemed particularly happy too. Apparently Đrun had Relieved her Need well last night. And seeing Mariza’s own mates happy was not particularly unusual. But Mariza continued to be haunted by her dreams.
After lunch, Mariza and Lena spent the afternoon, training the hippogriffs and griffins.
That night there was another session under the Stars with the Centaurs before going to bed.
This time, Mariza’s nightmares were all about falling . . . falling off a cliff . . . . falling of her broom . . . . falling off a hippogriff. . . . over and over Mariza and Esathonia fell . . . all night long.
