Peace Finally

"I suggest you all leave. The villagers might not take too well you all being here for too long." Chris offered, both thankful and sorrowful as her Knights nodded in turn, getting to their feet and leaving the building.

Once they were gone, Chris collapsed to her knees, tears running down her face as she was left to her own devices with Lucia, the other woman embracing Chris and holding her up. Chris wrapped her arms around Lucia and cried, her tears giving way to sobs that wracked her whole body.

Slowly, it took some time for Chris' tears to subside, but they eventually did. She mentally swore to visit her Knights someday, but not soon. She needed time to think, not time for her heart to be torn apart by their constant appearances.

Lucia didn't know what to do but hold the woman, letting her think before slowly bringing her face up. Without a moment's hesitation, she locked Chris into another kiss, tearing the woman's mind from her troubles to the pair of delightful lips that captured her own.

Lucia found her hands to be natural roamers as she brought her hands down Chris' back to rest on her butt, pulling the other woman closer with her hands before squeezing each small cheek. Chris immediately responded, which inadvertantly grinded her crouch into Lucia's.

Eventually, Lucia released the spent Chris, the girl's eyes euphoric with ecstasy as she swooned in Lucia's arms. Never before had Chris felt so physically weakened before in her life. She felt as if her knees were about to give out from her own weight alone, with only Lucia's hold on her keeping her up.

"Feeling better?" Lucia asked, bringing a smile from Chris' lips as she pulled forward for another kiss.

Chris eeped as her face was shoved into the pillow, her body locked up as the man behind her forced himself inside her tender vagina. With her face forced down into the pillow, her groans of protest and cries of pain were muffled at best, often silenced completely.

His rod sliced into her like a red hot knife, cutting into her folds and forcing them apart for the intruder. For every time the man shoved into her, she gave a shrill cry of pain.

It wasn't that it didn't feel good, god no. But she was a lesbian, right? She wasn't supposed to enjoy sex with men! She liked women! She was in love with Lucia! This shouldn't be happening! She shouldn't be enjoying forced sex!

Another hand grabbed the back of her head, gripping a fistful of hair and pulling her face up. She had enough time to scream before another red hot rod was forced into her mouth.

The man behind her shifted until he slipped under her and she could partly see his face. His dark black hair caught all her attention, except for the black eye patch over one eye.

'It's... it's Geddoe... but why?' She thought as as her attention wavered when Geddoe shoved back into her vaginal passage and the man before her rammed deep into her throat. She gagged on the large muscle, but he still rammed himself home.

The two continued to violate her, using her body for their own pleasure when Chris finally tried looking up with her eyes. Trying to catch a glimse of the other man's face. She couldn't see his face this way, she needed him to pull out. And he'd only pull out... if he...

Forced into a decision, Chris whimpered before taking one deep suck in with her mouth, then brought her tongue up to the rod. She'd heard some things from some of the girls in Karaya how to give proper head, she only hopped that she could do it right.

But she couldn't, no matter how much she sucked or licked, the man didn't react in the slightest, just kept fucking her face without any form of abandon. Her throat was rapidly getting more and more sore with the constant friction of his dick forcing itself down her throat, but he didn't care.

"Mease Mrop." Chris managed to get out around the rod in her mouth, just seconds before she felt Geddoe shudder beneath her. He wasn't!

And she could feel it, she could actually feel Geddoe's prick shudder inside her body before filling her with his seed. Tears trickled from her eyes as she could feel shame that her body enjoyed the sensation.

At that moment, the other man shivered as well and pulled out, Chris slightly confused before a shot of sperm caught her in one eye. Yelping, she immediately shut both eyes, the sperm in one eye leaving a stinging sensation she was not enjoying.

She could feel more hot seed being shot across her face, waiting for the splashing to stop before opening her good eye. Looking up again, craining her neck to see, Chris nearly cried at what she saw.

Jimba, aka Wyatt Lightfellow, stood above her with his prick in her face. Off to Jimba's side, the Flame Champion stood and moved closer, moving around her body to line up with her only unabused place and...

"NOOOOO!!!!!!" Chris awoke with a start, tears streaming from her eyes as she took in her surroundings. Walls, covered in woven tapestries and animal skins. Floors, dirt and select, soft straw. Her clothes, green and lavender, drapped over a chair. Her night wear, a pair of cloth panties and supporter under a large shirt.

On the floor, an awoken Hugo with a small cloth blanket and a soft pillow, staring up at her. 'He must've fought with his mother again...' "Are you alright, Chris?"

It's been a week since the Zexen Knights had come for Chris, and these nightmares had started immediately after they left. First, it was a few of the Knights, Leo, Roland, and Borus. Then, it was Salome and Percival. Then Beecham, Hallec, and Mua. Thomas, some of the Zexen Council... Nash... the list went on.

Lucia and Hugo, who she'd never dreamed of, knew of her nightmares, being that they both also knew of Chris' romantic interests in Hugo's mother. However, to the outside, people thought Chris was going to persue Hugo. They couldn't be further from the truth right now.

But Chris had her fears. Was she really a lesbian? Sure, she enjoyed sex with women, especially those special few times with Lucia after the Knights left, but now... was she starting to like men? Was it a sign from the spirits that she couldn't be with women... that this thing with Lucia was just a phase?

"I had another nightmare..." Hugo's look immediately softened as he got to his feet and sat beside Chris, slowly wrapping his arms around her. Chris sighed and buried her face into Hugo's shoulder, trying not to cry.

"Who was it this time?"

"Geddoe... the Flame Champion... and Father..." Chris got out before the tears overtook her, her eyes erupting her tears as she cried. Hugo just held her somewhat awkwardly, since he couldn't imagine what it must have felt like for Chris.

Not in these three years he'd truly known the Zexen Silver Maiden, had he ever seen her so troubled. And so, she cried, and he just held her, letting her get it all out of her system. He himself was still reeling from four days ago, finding out Master Tir McDohl was his father.

With that in mind, Hugo tightened his grip around Chris and lightly kissed her forehead. Chris slowly began to calm and soon stopped crying altogether.

"Do you need me to get Mom?" Chris slowly shook her head at the question. She felt like a child when Lucia was comforting her for her nightmares. At least Hugo let her know he didn't think of her as anything less than...

Less than what? A possible Mother-in-Law? A friend? Family? Or...

A potential lover? Surely not...

But... could that be why he hadn't invaded her nightmares? Was she... falling for Hugo now, despite she consummated her love for Lucia? Was this thing with Lucia just a phase so she could get to Hugo?

"Well, you need to calm down and rest. Your rite into power is today."

Chris had nearly forgotten about that. The ceremony to gain the blessings and powers of the spirits. She'd received a vision from Yun some five days ago, that she could inherit Yun's powers of premonition. The Grasslanders thought that would be a wonderful idea. She thought it was more than a little crazy.

Chris took a few more gulpfuls of air before turning to Hugo. Nodding her head, she surged up slightly and, on a whim, kissed Hugo on the forehead. Hugo, being slightly shocked at this, slid off the bed to the floor as Chris lay back down.

Hugo just stared at Chris for several moments, slowly bringing a hand up to his forehead and touching the spot where Chris kissed him. For a few moments, he didn't move, then a small smile erupted on his face and he got to his feet. Moving over to his bedding, her turned back, watched Chris for a second, then got into bed for some sleep.

- - - - - - -

Chris' nightmares didn't return after she went back to sleep. Instead, she enjoyed a dreamless slumber and awoke the next morning with the sun. As sunlight filtered in through her window, she yawned and stretched, getting the kinks out of her limbs before looking around.

Hugo was already gone, with his bedding and pillow rolled up in the corner. Looking around, she could tell easily enough he was gone. Getting up, she grabbed some clothes, changed, then grabbed some herbal soaps and shampoo. Yawning a little, she set out for the bathhouse.

After greeting the caretaker, Chris was pleasantly surprised to find she was among the first up this morning. Smiling, she entered the changing area and stripped, folding her clothes carefully before placing them inside a small boxed-in shelf. Taking her shampoo and things in hand, she entered the baths.

The first thing she noticed was near silence. She could hear some voices on the other side of the wall, from the men's side, but that was all. She was also alone in the women's side. Her smile grew a little as she moved over to the bathing area.

The voices on the other side continued as Chris got closer to the wall seperating both sides. Sitting on a stool, she dipped a bucket into the water and brought it up, dousing herself.

Shivering, she tried to find something else to concentrate on. She now noticed the voices were much closer and clearer.

"Seriously, Beecham, I don't know what to do anymore. I used to think I'd hate Chris for the rest of my life, but I was more content to comfort her than to see her in pain. What should I do?"

"Nothing, Hugo. It's a sign of growing up, when you're able to forgive and forget." Chris looked up a little before shrugging her shoulders. She was used to being the subject of some whispered conversations.

"Yes, but... it's one thing to forgive, it's another to... care... about HER." Chris' eyes were a little wide at this. 'Hugo... cares about me...? I thought he was just trying to be nice...'

"Either way, she becomes Karaya's shaman after noon. It would be wise to try your best to forgive her. She may very well become a very important person in Karaya."

"Don't you think I know that?" Chris didn't catch the next set of whispers, as she continued to wash before cleaning up her supplies. "I just don't want her to know I've forgiven her."

'Too late for that, Hugo.' Chris thought before getting to her feet and moving to the hot baths in the middle of the bathing area. With a sigh of happiness, she slid in and settled her back against the wall.

"Why is that, Hugo?"

"Because... maybe because I fear I'll grow to love her." Chris's eyes went wide and she nearly slid underneath the water. "I mean, the two of us will live for eternity. If nature takes its course, she and I will probably end up together."

"All the more reason to fight it less. What about your mother's relationship with Chris?"

"Chris and I will definately outlive my mother. If not soon, I'd get her in the end all the same. Probably." Chris could actually hear Hugo sigh before she swallowed. She finally realized the wall she'd chosen to lean against had Hugo on the other side of it.

She easily deduced that she DEFINATELY didn't want to be found out. If Hugo had his knife, he'd stab her right through the wall if he had to. Swallowing as lightly as she could, she settled in to wait, trying to make as little noise as possible.

Hugo yawned on the other side, and Chris almost swallowed again, thinking she may have been discovered.

"Either way, that's not the place for someone who 'hates' Chris, right?"

"Not really. I mean, it would only make sense that you would marry her so you could fight with her forever." Chris did swallow this time, thinking how right Beecham could possibly be.

- - - - - - -

The ceremony was planned and set up without delay. The ritual would take place in Alma Kinan, which Chris was happy for since she'd get to see Yuiri and Yumi again. Of course, this visit wasn't for her own fun. It was important.

It was for the inheriting of Yun's powers.

Without a known shaman in the Grasslands, the Grasslanders were too uptight about what could happen. So, someone needed to be 'sacrificed' for inheriting the powers of the recently passed away Yun.

Chris had volunteered without hesitation, despite she could quite possibly lose her life in the ritual. Despite these risks, Chris wanted to try.

Few thought her foolish. Many thought she was taking the chance to get out of her servitude to the Karayans. They couldn't be further from the truth.

Chris only wanted to be accepted. She only wanted to be loved.

Sure, she had love from Lucia and Hugo, but she needed more. She needed friends.

Chris Lightfellow, ex-Knight of Zexen, was lonely.

Chris Lightfellow, the Silver Maiden, was desperate.

Chris Lightfellow, Karayan Slave, was scared.

Yes, scared. She very much feared what may happen to her eternal soul should she fail the ritual. She was under the firm belief one's soul lives on forever, and she feared for her soul. Should she fail, it could be ripped apart, torn asunder. And the thought frightened the girl.

So, as the girl in Alma Kinan ceremonial attire approached the Water Altar, she shivered slightly as she moved closer to the site. Chris could swear her True Rune began to react to the broken seal, but she tried to ignore it. As she could feel the air around her get colder and colder, she began to wonder if she'd freeze to death before she could finish the ritual.

But she didn't freeze. She reached the site of Yun's end and exhaled, watching her breath form in the air like in the winter. She could almost feel completely numb from the cold, especially since her outfit left little covering.

Raising her arms into the air to her sides, she could feel the gazes of all in Alma Kinan on her back, watching her intently. She could almost feel some of the cold gazes of the other clans, more specifically the Lizard Clan.

Slowly, the turned her arms over and circled her arms in the air. When she'd first learned this, she'd thought it a joke, a dance. As she twisted her arms around to her front, then to her sides, straight out, before raising them up to above her.

Then her first steps started, her left foot circling around to her back, and she rose on her toes and twirled. And it continued, step forward with right foot, twirl, left with left, twirl. Step to the right with her right foot, rise on toes, twirl. Step back to the center, rise on toes, and twirl continuously.

After a few moments of twirling with her eyes closed, Chris could actually feel the air around her beginning to warm up, her breath no longer visible, which she checked by opening her eyes for just a moment before closing them.

And so, she twirled on the ground, gracefully and swiftly, arms out to twirl in the air before her. The air continued to warm until she opened her eyes and looked up.

Sparkles of light, spirits, twirled down from the heavens to dance with the girl. In abundance was a great number of water spirits, both for the girl's true rune and the water altar.

One spirit in particular moved close to the girl. 'Yun...' Chris thought before her she slowly stopped twirling, staring up at the spirits before Yun touched her forehead.

She screamed and collapsed.

- - - - - - -

Chris panted as she lay beneath him, her legs spread wide as her thrust into her from behind. His dark skin contrasted nicely against her creamy white flesh, she noticed as she looked between her legs to take in his arm around her waist.

Chris gasped as he penetrated her again, her vagina spread well as it sucked on him. Her gasp gave way to more panting, and that gave way to moans and purrs of pleasure. She was loving this.

'Chris, try to take control.'

'Yun?'

'Trust me. Try to control yourself.'

'I... I'll try.'

Slowly, her panting began to subside as she opened her eyes. Really opened her eyes. She could still feel him thrusting away at her insides, but it suddenly wasn't as important.

'Wh-what is this? Another nightmare?'

'Are you not enjoying this dream? It is truly a dream of your own make.'

'H-huh? But all my nightmares... were they signs?'

Chris looked around some more, intaking her blank surroundings before she reached back and her hands found him. For a moment, she wanted to shove him away, but she didn't. She didn't know why, but she didn't. Inhaling a deep breath, she pushed back slightly before pullin g forward, pulling up her legs, and twisting around to face him.

'This is your fantasy. Live it and enjoy it.'

'But, Yun... what about Lucia?'

'Ah, but what about him?'

She looked up into the face of Hugo and smiled lightly, reaching up slowly before wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him closer and allowing him to thrust inside her once again.

'I...'

'Face it, Chris. You love them both... just like you loved me.'

'Yun, I...'

'Shhh... enjoy your dream, Chris. Let your responsibilities and duties come later.'

Chris was hesitant for a few moments before tightening her hold on Hugo, whispering. "I love you, Hugo..."

'That's right, Chris. Just enjoy your fantasies. Let life come later.'

And Chris began panting again as she really got into the feeling of a man inside her. She'd never felt anything like it before. Not even with Lucia had she felt such a thing. It felt so... natural and loving.

As she ground her pussy back against Hugo, bucking on him, she panted and gasped, shoving herself back against Hugo to meet his thrusts forward, burying him to the hilt inside her.

Soon, she felt both a familiar sensation and one she'd never felt before. An orgasm, one brought on by being filled so well, erupted through her in a wave, a wave that left her breathless. That, and wet.

Yes, very wet. It took her a few moments to realize that was one of the most powerful orgasms she'd ever experienced.

It didn't take her long to get back into the rhythm of Hugo's thrusts, bucking back against him as he filled her so well. Her vagina was felt like it was humming in constant arousal, and the pounding on her rapidly reddening cunt made her feel so... happy?

Yes, she was happy being pounded like this. And she was especially happy when she felt Hugo's muscles stiffen.

'This is just like my nightmares...'

'Only it's more pleasant, isn't it?'

'.....'

As Hugo thrust a few more drawn out thrusts, then buried himself one last time, Chris couldn't help but smile as she kissed Hugo on the lips. As she felt him shoot inside her, she only thought one thing.

'Yes, very pleasant indeed...'

- - - - - - -

"Is she coming to?"

"Seems like it."

Chris slowly awoke, her eyes fluttering open before she glanced a little to each side. Directly above her stood Lucia and Hugo, with Chief Dupa, Lady Sana, and Yuiri over behind them.

At first, Chris didn't trust herself to answer. She was still deeply affected by her fantasy, and she felt the intimate need to surge up and kiss Hugo... but she also wanted to kiss Lucia...

'Oh Spirits... what is happening to me?'

"Did you have a dream, young one?"

Chris was tempted to say she had another nightmare, which Hugo and Lucia would understand, but she paused. She didn't like lying, not to anyone. 'Dammit...'

"If you're asking if I have a prophecy, I don't. Sorry." Chris said as she slowly sat up, looking around her. She was in one of the houses of Alma Kinan. No... it was the Inn.

Lucia moved so Chris could throw her legs off the side of the bed she lay on, and get up. Slowly, she clapped her hands on her knees and stared at the floor.

'Miss me?'

Chris nearly jumped at the voice, but managed to remain visibly calm.

'Yun?'

'Of course! I hear you want to inherit my old powers.'

'I... Yes. The Grasslands need a shaman, so...'

'No need to worry. Of course you already have my powers.'

'I do?'

'Try to meditate a little. You'll see for yourself.'

Chris slowly closed her eyes and tried to enter herself into a trance. 'Ok, even your breathing... slowly intake and outtake. Calm your mind... calm your heart. Try to find peace.'

And Chris saw nothing.

"Chris?"

"I could hear Yun in my mind. I inherited her powers, but I can't give you a prophecy. Is something wrong?"

Yuiri smiled a little when Chris opened her eyes back up.

"No, nothing's wrong. It just means there isn't a prophecy to give. That means there'll be peace for some time."

Somehow, Chris got the feeling that did not apply to her.

END PART 2

A/N: Who should Chris end up with? Lucia or Hugo? Not even I know! Who do you think she should wind up with? Well, we'll all find out in the finale!
