It had been a busy day at Arrille's | It had been a busy day at Arrille's Tradehouse in Seyda Neen, with many people dropping by to trade, share friendly chats, and dine. The young elf sitting alone at one of the tables upstairs didn't pay much attention to all the ruckus around her, but as soon as she noticed an unfamiliar face of a Redguard at the corner of her eye, her head and body turned completely. She bolted up and approached the tall youngster in the middle of his puberty, who noticed the preteen Altmer girl focused on him. | ||

"Well, if Caius sent you to me, I suppose it's important. He wouldn't contact me if it wasn't." Karim then sighed as he was forced to let Aliya's hopes down for a moment. "Unfortunately, I | "Well, if Caius sent you to me, I suppose it's important. He wouldn't contact me if it wasn't." Karim then sighed as he was forced to let Aliya's hopes down for a moment. "Unfortunately, I'm already on an important job. I've been looking for a certain missing person for two full days now, and I just can't let it go." | ||

"Sounds good. I' | "Sounds good. The man I'm looking for is a tax collector named Processus Vitellus. He went missing a few days back." | ||

Karim nodded. "Could be the one. Can you show me | Karim nodded. "Could be the one. Can you show me where you found him?" | ||
Aliya did as she was told and led Karim to the dead man she found.

It took only fifteen minutes for them to walk by the shore to find the place where the dead Imperial man was lying in the bushes. | ||
Karim leaned in to inspect Processus's body and concluded that this indeed was the man he had been looking for. The paper he had on him proved that he was a tax collector, and it even had a list of people he was collecting taxes from. He also confirmed Aliya's suspicions about the wounds on him being a result of a short blade, possibly a dagger.

The paper he had on him proved that he was a tax collector, and it even had a list of people he was collecting taxes from. He also confirmed Aliya's suspicions about the wounds on him being a result of a short blade, possibly a dagger. The two youngsters walked to the Census office at Seyda Neen to report their findings to Socucius along with some evidence, but even though Karim's search mission had been completed, the case was still far from being closed due to a murderer being on the loose. | ||
When | When Socucius saw Aliya, the old Breton was surprised and glad to see her again and asked if she was well. Aliya replied positively, although a little hesitantly. Socucius also commented on how wonderful it was that these two outlanders who had been sent to a foreign province had found good friends in each other. Karim and Aliya barely knew each other yet, but neither felt it was appropriate to correct the old man on that. After all, they both believed that they were capable of becoming friends. | ||
After exchanging pleasantries, Karim explained to Socucius that the man he was hired to search for had, in fact, been murdered, and urged Aliya to give the money he had on him as well. Aliya wasn't originally planning on doing that, but Karim insisted that Aliya should do the right thing, and said good things happen to honest people. Sure enough, at least that day, that was true, as Socucius was proud of the youngster's honesty. He was always going to give them a reward if they could hunt down the murderer, but Aliya's good deed made him want to ramp up the bounty for the murderer a little bit higher.

He was always going to give them a reward if they could hunt down the murderer, but Aliya's good deed made him want to ramp up the bounty for the murderer a little bit higher. Collectively, they would be paid five hundred Septims should they bring the criminal to justice, which was more than double what Aliya had looted from the dead man. | ||

Ganciele, | Ganciele, a Legionnaire in the room with Socucius, suggested that the youngsters should hold onto the tax record for clues, suggesting that the murderer could be on the list. "Citizens of Vvardenfell aren't too happy about the high taxes the Empire imposes on them, so my guess is that one of them could've snapped." | ||
Line 56: | Line 56: | ||
The first person they approached for clues was Fargoth, a young Bosmer living in the village, who said that he wasn't at all surprised that he got murdered. Nobody liked the man, according to Fargoth, apart from a woman called Thavere who lives at the Lighthouse. Going to her for clues was their next logical step. | The first person they approached for clues was Fargoth, a young Bosmer living in the village, who said that he wasn't at all surprised that he got murdered.

It was clear to the two youngsters that she was not a suspect, but they insisted on interviewing the lady in hopes of learning clues they could use to find the murderer. All she could remember was that Processus once talked about an argument he had with Foryn Gilnith, a local fisherman, over taxes. Based on the tax records, this man owes a lot compared to many others, and suspiciously, hadn't paid a single Septim. The fact that the man was a fisherman was also suspect, as it could potentially explain why the body was found by the sea. It was time for them to seek out this man. | ||

"That's no reason to kill a man", he said, but the grey-skinned elf just smiled, almost as if telling Karim to | "That's no reason to kill a man", he said, but the grey-skinned elf just smiled, almost as if telling Karim to do something about it. "He was just doing his job", Karim continued. | ||

Aliya put his hand on Karim, urging him to pull away before he | Aliya put his hand on Karim, urging him to pull away before he punched the Dunmer. Aliya had noticed that the suspect was armed and didn't want things to get bloody. "Stop, let's not hurt him." | ||
Line 80: | Line 80: | ||
"Let's go", Aliya said. | "Let's go", Aliya said, trying to pull Karim away from the situation again. After a little more hesitation and resistance, he finally decided it was for the best. | ||
Outside, Karim seemed confused at | Outside, Karim seemed confused at how Aliya had just acted. "What was that about? I should be arresting him right now!" | ||
"Well, I mean…" Aliya began, fidgeting. "I get he's in the wrong, but he was | "Well, I mean…" Aliya began, fidgeting. "I get he's in the wrong, but he was armed!" | ||
Karim sighed. "I know he was. I wasn't gonna let him hurt me, if that's what you're worried about." | |||
"I | "Besides, I don't like the Empire too much either", Aliya suddenly admitted, "not after everything they put ''me'' through… so I kinda sympathize with him. He's probably struggling to make ends meet too…" | ||
And that's precisely what they did. They both got paid for their troubles, and the local Legionnaires arrested the criminal, preparing to escort him to Fort Moonmoth, where he would be jailed | "That's no excuse to kill a man", Karim said strictly. "And sure, I have some bad blood with the Empire too, but let's not forget who we serve. We're both Blades, aren't we? We have to do what's right. Besides, we're getting paid here, remember?" | ||
"I suppose… but that's not a reason to get our hands bloody", Aliya said. "Come on, Karim. Let's go report him to the authorities, so they can decide what to do with him." | |||
And that's precisely what they did. They both got paid for their troubles, and the local Legionnaires arrested the criminal, preparing to escort him to Fort Moonmoth, where he would be jailed as a punishment. As it was getting late, Aliya and Karim decided to rest for the night and prepare for the next day. | |||
Line 101: | Line 107: | ||
The following day, the pair of Aliya and Karim departed for adventure. Their target, the ruined city of Arkngthand, wasn't too far away from Balmora; cross the river, follow the road to Fort Moonmoth and turn left before reaching its gates, cross the old Dwemer bridge to Molag Mar, and voila, there it would be standing. On the road, they chatted a lot about themselves, trying to get to know each other, mostly talking about their current jobs outside their duties for the Blades. They also talked about the kind of work they had been doing so far, which in Karim's case, was a lot more, as he had been in Morrowind for a while longer. | |||
As they approached their destination, crossing the old metal bridge constructed over the dried-up river | As they approached their destination, crossing the old metal bridge constructed over the "foyada", a dried-up lava river running from the Red Mountain to the sea, they were attacked by a bandit, an Imperial male. It spooked Aliya out a little because it was the first time ever she had been attacked like that, and the bandit, wielding an axe, was talking about all the nasty things he would do to Aliya, about how "they" would rape her for hours and make her beg for her life. Had it not been for Karim, he might've even succeeded. Aliya was a talented mage but had no experience dealing with bandits like this. Karim got himself injured in the melee, but not severely. As soon as he managed to defeat the enemy, Aliya came for her companion's aid. | ||
Line 110: | Line 116: | ||
"Here", Karim said and | "Here", Karim said and exposed the deep wound he'd been inflicted with. | ||
"Give me a moment", | Aliya was no master of Restoration, but she knew how to heal injuries like this. "Give me a moment", she said, but what the bandit had said was making her worry, and her gaze and focus to constantly wander off. "Are there more of them?" she asked. | ||
"Yeah, I think there are more", Karim said, "but try to focus on | "Yeah, I think there are more", Karim said, "but try to focus on stopping the bleeding. I'll focus on surroundings." | ||
Line 131: | Line 137: | ||
Although they | Although they found the door, they couldn't figure out how to get past it at first. It was a strange, sturdy, and round metal contraption that wouldn't budge no matter how much they tried. They eventually found a tiny gas valve they could turn to activate the door, but even then, it took them at least two more minutes trying to figure out exactly how the door worked. Opening it blocked the entrance, but only briefly. When it closed, they were locked inside but would be able to enter the ruins. Thus began their descent into the depths of this ancient city. | ||
Line 140: | Line 146: | ||
Aliya's heart was racing because she had never | Aliya's heart was racing because she had never assaulted anyone before. She was afraid to say it out loud, so she simply nodded and urged Karim to explain the plan in as much detail as possible, as the last thing Aliya wanted to do was fuck it up. After about a minute of explaining and rehearsing it, they decided to put the plan into action. | ||
First, Aliya descended from the ledge to the lower level, where their two targets were waiting. There was also another passage down, a spiraling staircase that didn't look like the safest route to choose, and Karim took this path. The enemy hadn't noticed their presence yet, and they were being set up for an ambush from both sides. | |||
Seeing that Aliya was ready to strike, Karim purposely let himself be discovered. The two bandits bolted up, swearing, picking up their weapons, and hurling threats in Karim's way. Aliya snuck up to the Imperial male, and from behind, she slit her throat open with a dagger while Karim charged forward. Realizing his partner had just been killed, the remaining bandit lost his focus on the approaching enemy, but just for a moment. He could parry Karim's attack but wasn't prepared for what was coming next. | |||
"Dodge!" Aliya commanded as she plunged her two hands forward, pressing them against her enemy's back. She unleashed a torrent of fiery flames that engulfed her enemy, flames | "Dodge!" Aliya commanded as she plunged her two hands forward, pressing them against her enemy's back. She unleashed a torrent of fiery flames that engulfed her enemy, flames that Karim was more than capable of avoiding. He finished off the enemy with a couple of unprotected attacks and let out a sigh of relief. | ||
Line 152: | Line 161: | ||
"I-I can't believe I actually killed a man", Aliya said in utter shock, sounding out of breath. She | "I-I can't believe I actually killed a man", Aliya said in utter shock, sounding out of breath. She looked at her bloodied dagger, but it was the least of her worries. Her attention was brought to the wounded corpse, bleeding profusely, with his skin suffering from serious burn damage. Aliya couldn't stand to look as it reminded her of how her flames used to burn five innocent people alive that one night. | ||
"You'll get over it", Karim said and tapped Aliya on the shoulder. " | "You'll get over it", Karim said and tapped Aliya on the shoulder. "Judging by how their ally outside the ruins acted, they were criminal scum anyway." | ||
" | "But they must've still had family, people they love, people who love them…" Aliya said, trying to reason with herself. | ||
Line 164: | Line 173: | ||
They immediately found out that they weren't able to progress further. A tall man wielding a large warhammer emerged from inside a door | They immediately found out that they weren't able to progress further. A tall man wielding a large warhammer emerged from inside a door on another tall ledge, accessible only by a bit of climbing. "What the fuck is this ruckus about?" he asked, laying his hammer on his shoulder. "A couple of fucking kids? What have you done to my friends!?" | ||
Line 170: | Line 179: | ||
"You fucking cunt", he shouted | "You fucking cunt", he shouted. "I'll rape you!" | ||
"You can't win", Karim said, and with his enemy being distracted, just like the last time Aliya intervened with the previous | "You can't win", Karim said, and with his enemy being distracted, just like the last time Aliya intervened with the previous bandit, he was able to strike at his enemy. The bandit blocked the attack, but Karim could follow up with another, disarming the thug. With no more weapons at his disposal, the enemy simply plunged at Aliya in a last-ditch effort to turn the tables around, and she was unprepared for such an assault. Green as she was, she had no counter for this giant of a man grabbing hold of her, putting her in a chokehold. | ||
Line 197: | Line 206: | ||
"Someone from the | "Someone from the Fighters Guild wants it. I'm not sure why", Aliya replied, truthfully and honestly. The Nord wasn't impressed with the story and demanded further explanation. "His name is Hasphat Antabolis. In return, I need information from him regarding the Sixth House and the Nerevarine Cult…" | ||
Line 203: | Line 212: | ||
"None", Karim replied with a stern expression | "None", Karim replied with a stern expression. "I'll return the cube and get the payment for myself, as my employer can't pay me anymore." | ||
Line 209: | Line 218: | ||
"You're a smart man", the bandit said with a grin | "You're a smart man", the bandit said with a wicked grin as he groped Aliya's tiny, developing breasts. "She's such a beauty… I think after raping her for a while with the boys, I can even forgive you for killing my underlings." | ||
"Please, please no…!" Aliya pleaded in tears, closing her eyes. Memories of being in captivity, being raped and abused day in and day out flooded her mind as the realization | "Please, please no…!" Aliya pleaded in tears, closing her eyes. Memories of being in captivity, being raped and abused day in and day out flooded her mind as the realization of her immediate future started setting in. It was going to happen again, but this time with bandits? Was she going to become a sex slave for some band of criminals? She couldn't bear the thought, leading her to despair as it didn't look like salvation was possible anymore. | ||
Line 218: | Line 227: | ||
"It's in the room where I came from", the bandit said | "It's in the room where I came from", the bandit said as he continued to tease the girl in his grasp, going as far as to pinch her nipple through the shirt, laughing through his grin and breathing heavily. Suddenly, however, he let go of his target, screaming in pain. Realizing she was free, Aliya plunged her body forward and fell to the ground, placing her hand on her hip where her dagger was sheathed. The short blade was in Karim's hand. He had taken it while walking past the distracted bandit and stuck it straight through his enemy's eye. Karim proceeded to cut the enemy's throat open, after which he tossed the dagger back to Aliya, right to her feet. | ||
"You go ahead, get out | "You go ahead, get out of here", Karim said. "There could be even more of them, so hurry. I'll go get the cube so we can leave." | ||
Aliya, still feeling like she could cry, with her entire body shaking and shivering from fear, picked up the dagger | Aliya, still feeling like she could cry, with her entire body shaking and shivering from fear, picked up the dagger and did as was told. A pure rush of adrenaline forced her legs to move, and she practically ran up the spiraling road back to the surface. She collapsed to her knees at the door and laid her back against it, trying to catch her breath. It really was a testament to how badly her physique had deteriorated during imprisonment, as she couldn't move at all, run one step further, and had no strength left in her body. After about a minute had passed, she heard steps approaching. She raised her gaze to stare at Karim, who was holding a tiny, ornate metal cube in his left hand, right hand extended towards Aliya. He helped her back to her feet, and Aliya collapsed forward, leaned against Karim's body, and hugged him tight. Karim hugged her back and assured her that she was safe with him. "Don't you worry, I was only acting…" | ||
Line 236: | Line 245: | ||

It was only one hour's walk back to Balmora, but they decided that it would be best for them to sit down for a while. They decided to relax on the shores of the Odai River just south of Balmora, hidden from a view behind a hill when looking at from the road. It was a nice and peaceful campsite that Karim had once stopped by to catch fish with two of his fellow Legionnaires. | ||
They had stayed relatively quiet for a long time, with Aliya being confused and still a little scared about what had happened. Meanwhile, Karim worried that he had made her mad. | |||
Line 245: | Line 257: | ||
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that… I was afraid he was going to kill you, so I couldn't just charge in | "Yeah, I'm sorry about that… I was afraid he was going to kill you, so I couldn't just charge in without a plan." | ||
"I understand", Aliya said and proceeded to crawl closer to Karim. She leaned against him and hugged him again, which Karim was surprised about. Gently, she wrapped her small arms around his | "I understand", Aliya said and proceeded to crawl closer to Karim. She leaned against him and hugged him again, which Karim was surprised about. Gently, she wrapped her small arms around his waist and thanked him quietly. "Thank you so much. I wouldn't have been able to do that alone…" | ||
"I can't help but | "I can't help but feel a little worried for you", Karim said and laid his palm on Aliya's back, holding the young elf in his arms. "I feel like you're very strong in some ways, but weak in others…" | ||
"I | "Oh, I know… I haven't been an adventurer for a long time…" | ||
Line 260: | Line 272: | ||
"I… I have… Just not like that…" Aliya said. Karim noticed that the girl laying her body against him was crying, | "I… I have… Just not like that…" Aliya said. Karim noticed that the girl laying her body against him was crying, sobbing ever so quietly. "I once caused an accident… Many died because of me… That's why it was so horrible… Trying to burn that man alive reminded me of it…" | ||
"If I knew, I wouldn't have forced you to do that", Karim said | "If I knew, I wouldn't have forced you to do that", Karim said as he gently stroked Aliya's hair. "But you said it was an accident. It wasn't your fault. There's even a saying here in Morrowind that teaches you, ''"No child has a sinner's heart"''." | ||

It brought back fond memories of how he used to care for his little sister back in the day. On some cold nights traveling through Hammerfell, she used to crawl under the same blanket and snuggle up real close to her big brother. To Karim, that was always a bliss that made life worth living through pain, as the safety and well-being of her sister always made him feel fulfilled. He hadn't had anyone like that in his life ever since he was separated from his sister, so holding this elf in his arms and hugging her gently reminded him of those days of his late childhood and early adolescence. It was making him slowly realize that maybe Aliya would also be worth protecting. He asked himself, would he ever even feel the same amount of fulfillment from protecting someone not related to him by blood? Would they even be friends a week from now? Was he just looking for an outlet, for something to fill that void of loneliness that was left by Kanna when she was taken from his life? Did it even matter? ''"I guess not"'', he thought, trying to focus on the now. | ||
"I can't help but | "I can't help but feel nostalgic", Karim finally admitted. "I used to do this a lot with my little sister. She was very close to me." | ||
Line 290: | Line 302: | ||
"I had planned to betray the clan, but it didn't really go as planned. We were separated when Kanna was arrested, and I escaped. I tried to save her and take her along with me, but I was too late. I don't know what happened to | "I had planned to betray the clan, but it didn't really go as planned. We were separated when Kanna was arrested, and I escaped. I tried to save her and take her along with me, but I was too late. I don't know what happened to her after that." | ||
Line 314: | Line 326: | ||
"That's got to be her", Karim said and | "That's got to be her", Karim said and let out a sigh of relief. "At least I know she's safe…" | ||
Line 320: | Line 332: | ||
"I… I get it… Don't tell me anything else…" Karim said, suddenly feeling angry. "And you mean to tell me | "I… I get it… Don't tell me anything else…" Karim said, suddenly feeling angry. "And you mean to tell me she's there right now?" | ||
Line 338: | Line 350: | ||
"Thank you for telling me, Aliya. I | "Thank you for telling me, Aliya. I know what I must do now." | ||
Aliya beamed at Karim and raised her arms above his shoulders. " | Aliya beamed at Karim and raised her arms above his shoulders. "And thank ''you'' for helping me. Who knows what would've happened to me if I had to go to that place alone." | ||
"You've got to promise me to train harder though", Karim said. "I don't want anything bad happening to you, so promise | "You've got to promise me to train harder though", Karim said. "I don't want anything bad happening to you, so promise me you'll learn to take care of yourself and become a splendid adventurer." | ||
Line 350: | Line 362: | ||
"I think I'll try to get back to Cyrodiil. If there's even | "I think I'll try to get back to Cyrodiil. If there's even the slightest chance that I can meet my sister again, even for just a brief moment, even to just confirm that she is safe and tell her that I'm safe as well, I'll travel to the end of the world to see her." | ||
Line 359: | Line 371: | ||
"Alright", Aliya nodded, as her smile turned | "Alright", Aliya nodded, as her smile turned shyer. She spoke her following words, almost in the form of a whisper, leaning her lips closer to those of Karim. "Do you want to do something to remember me by…? Just in case…?" | ||
Karim's heart skipped a beat. He could see from the blush on top of that Altmer's cheeks, and | Karim's heart skipped a beat. He could see from the blush on top of that Altmer's cheeks, and judge from the way she pushed her chest against his plate, that she was clearly coming onto him. He just froze, not knowing what to do because the sudden development of a girl offering her love to him wasn't something he expected or was even thinking about a while back. | ||
Line 368: | Line 380: | ||
Karim gently kissed Aliya on the lips, allowing them both to relax completely | Karim gently kissed Aliya on the lips, allowing them both to relax completely and have their breath get taken away by its pleasantness. They kissed multiple times, with each subsequent kiss being more passionate than the previous one. Eventually, their tongues accidentally touched each other briefly, stopping them for a short while as they just stared at each other. They couldn't resist the temptation of eating each other out more, so they immediately went back at it. | ||
Line 374: | Line 386: | ||
Aliya placed her slender hands on top of Karim's chest and felt his warmth through the shirt. All that was going through her mind was how hot he was, how fit he was, how much she just wanted to get even closer. She | Aliya placed her slender hands on top of Karim's chest and felt his warmth through the shirt. All that was going through her mind was how hot he was, how fit he was, and how much she just wanted to get even closer. She soon got her wish, with two large palms pressed against her bare back, pulling her in. They kissed once more, and Aliya stuck her tongue out properly as she practically grabbed the shirt, tugging it as she hugged Karim back. | ||
Not long after, Karim finally displaced his shirt and decided to immediately go on offense. His hands were firmly on Aliya's hip, and with a mastery of a practiced thief, he intended to unbuckle her belt to get his hands on that young elf's bare ass and bald crotch. Pulling the tight-fit linen down along with the pearly white panties, he noticed a wet spot. She was soaked already. He took the opportunity to touch her soft, preteen pussy, and he heard a soft, high-pitch moan of approval escaping the elf's lips. His finger dug into her slit slightly, and he found the right spot. Underneath her index finger's pressure, that soft yet tiny hole puckered up so incredibly tightly, but still acted oh-so welcoming. Nothing in Aliya's body language or facial expression suggested she wasn't okay with what was happening. In fact, she looked so eager and horny with that shy smile of hers. At that point, Karim knew that he could do anything he wanted to that girl. | |||
Displacing her shoes, socks, and pants completely, Aliya moved on to remove her bracelets as Karim himself got rid of the rest of the steel guarding his body. Eager to help him out, Aliya kneeled in front of Karim, with her head right on the same length as his hip. She grabbed his belt with both hands and stared the Redguard up, licking her lips. She found her way into his pants, pulled them down just enough to reveal the erect black cock to her white face, and grabbed onto it with both her hands, neither of which could even wrap around the shaft completely. | |||
With her left thumb and pinky wrapped around the base and lower shaft, and the right palm firmly grabbing the cock in the middle, she opened her mouth wide, stuck her tongue out, and took it into her mouth, letting her soft, wet lips glide down its base. She sucked on it vigorously and with all she could muster, but with slow and calculated strokes, pressing it against her inner cheek, but also against the back of her throat. For all intents and purposes, Aliya was milking that cock to make Karim cum as fast and as hard as possible. | |||
Karim found it so surreal. Sure, he had bedded women - some of them even wanted to give him fellatio - but Aliya was as young as his own little sister. That was a child's face, a child's mouth wrapped around his teenage cock. What's more, she did it with amazing technique. The pleasure and the suction of that little mouth made his knees feel weak, and he couldn't help but moan quietly. He stroked Aliya's hair with his hand, calling him such a good girl, and praised her ability to give amazing head. | |||
Feeling the cock throb with pleasure, sensing that she didn't need to push much longer to milk him dry, she adjusted her position to take it even further down her throat. Her gag reflex had been trained well enough for her lips to travel more than halfway down the shaft, which Karim just couldn't believe. | Feeling the cock throb with pleasure, and sensing that she didn't need to push much longer to milk him dry, she adjusted her position to take it even further down her throat. Her gag reflex had been trained well enough for her lips to travel more than halfway down the shaft, which Karim just couldn't believe. It didn't even take a minute from her starting to deep throat that cock for him to finally reach climax. Aliya took it all in her mouth, keeping her lips tightly wrapped around the cock all the way until the larger loads had been shot. She let her lips travel alongside his glans until she finally parted from him, with the black cock still leaking pearly cum from its tip. Aliya then, making sure not to make a mess, emptied her mouth, swallowing the load. | ||
Despite being young and resilient, Karim knew | Despite being young and resilient, Karim knew he needed a moment to regroup, but he could still prepare Aliya for further fun with his hands and body urging and pushing Aliya down to the ground. With her back against the soil, she giggled playfully as she spread her legs, inviting him to have his way with her body.

Karim found his finger pushed all the way to the base and realized that the girl underneath her was wet all the way through. He could not hold himself back at all. Feeling like he just had to fill that hole immediately, he adjusted his pose and guided his glans to her vagina, pushing the tip forward, teasing it, and testing the waters. It seemed impossible just looking by the eye to fit something that big into something that small, but he was going to try with all his strength if need be. He grabbed hard into her waist with both hands and plunged his cock forward with all his might. A wild, loud moan was forced out of the young elf, whose eyes rolled back with the pleasure of having her pussy finally filled with the warmth of a rock-hard penis. | ||

She had a look of pure pleasure written on her face as she just laid her hands down on the ground, clasping them into fists while inhaling and exhaling high-pitched moans. Her eyes were closed shut, and her body turned and twisted with pleasure, but despite his rough hammering, those tiny mounds on her chest were too small to shake along. Karim noticed that this little elf was on the verge of an orgasm, and he was more than happy to give it to her. The last thing he wanted was a change of pace, as whatever he was doing obviously was giving her the most enjoyment. | ||

With the huge cock grinding in and out of her constantly and the Redguard's hands and body keeping her firmly down, all she could do was deal with the heightened senses that her climax had given her. She moaned more loudly and with a much faster frequency. She could barely handle how weakened she was feeling because of the pleasure, and after about a minute of being caught in a loop, all her body did was yearn for more and to experience it all again. She verbally begged Karim to do her harder, calling his name out loud several times in the process. Karim was more than happy to comply, but not before grabbing onto her hip again. | ||

He had little to no regard for any consequences of cumming inside a girl, as it didn't even cross his mind with his primal mating instinct taking over his body and mind.

Latest revision as of 23:34, 17 April 2023
It had been a busy day at Arrille's Tradehouse in Seyda Neen, with many people dropping by to trade, share friendly chats, and dine. The young elf sitting alone at one of the tables upstairs didn't pay much attention to all the ruckus around her, but as soon as she noticed an unfamiliar face of a Redguard at the corner of her eye, her head and body turned completely. She bolted up and approached the tall youngster in the middle of his puberty, who noticed the preteen Altmer girl focused on him.
"Excuse me, but are you Karim?"
The Redguard looked surprised and stuttered out a simple "Yeah". The elf let out a sigh of relief and smiled gently, but didn't utter a word, prompting Karim to speak out and ask: "What's this about?"
"I'm Aliya. The truth is, I'm here because of Caius Cosades."
"Oh? What does he want?"
"I kinda need some help with a task I've been given, and Caius suggested you. I'm not sure I can do it alone…"
"Well, if Caius sent you to me, I suppose it's important. He wouldn't contact me if it wasn't." Karim then sighed as he was forced to let Aliya's hopes down for a moment. "Unfortunately, I'm already on an important job. I've been looking for a certain missing person for two full days now, and I just can't let it go."
"I could maybe help you", Aliya said and smiled happily.
"Sounds good. The man I'm looking for is a tax collector named Processus Vitellus. He went missing a few days back."
"Well, I found a dead body by the shore while I was honing my spellcraft", Aliya commented, wondering if that could be the man Karim was looking for. "He had some money on him, some papers too… I only picked up the money, though…"
Karim nodded. "Could be the one. Can you show me where you found him?"
Aliya did as she was told and led Karim to the dead man she had found. It took only fifteen minutes for them to walk by the shore to find the place where the dead Imperial man was lying in the bushes.
Karim leaned in to inspect Processus's body and concluded that this indeed was the man he had been looking for. The paper he had on him proved that he was a tax collector, and it even had a list of people he was collecting taxes from. He also confirmed Aliya's suspicions about the wounds on him being a result of a short blade, possibly a dagger. The two youngsters walked to the Census office at Seyda Neen to report their findings to Socucius along with some evidence, but even though Karim's search mission had been completed, the case was still far from being closed due to a murderer being on the loose.
When Socucius saw Aliya, the old Breton was surprised and glad to see her again and asked if she was well. Aliya replied positively, although a little hesitantly. Socucius also commented on how wonderful it was that these two outlanders who had been sent to a foreign province had found good friends in each other. Karim and Aliya barely knew each other yet, but neither felt it was appropriate to correct the old man on that. After all, they both believed that they were capable of becoming friends.
After exchanging pleasantries, Karim explained to Socucius that the man he was hired to search for had, in fact, been murdered, and urged Aliya to give the money he had on him as well. Aliya wasn't originally planning on doing that, but Karim insisted that Aliya should do the right thing, and said good things happen to honest people. Sure enough, at least that day, that was true, as Socucius was proud of the youngster's honesty. He was always going to give them a reward if they could hunt down the murderer, but Aliya's good deed made him want to ramp up the bounty for the murderer a little bit higher. Collectively, they would be paid five hundred Septims should they bring the criminal to justice, which was more than double what Aliya had looted from the dead man.
"Do you have any idea who it could be?" Karim asked, hoping to hear some clues from his current employer.
"No, I'm sorry, but I don't know", Socucius admitted. "Could be a bandit for all I know."
Ganciele, a Legionnaire in the room with Socucius, suggested that the youngsters should hold onto the tax record for clues, suggesting that the murderer could be on the list. "Citizens of Vvardenfell aren't too happy about the high taxes the Empire imposes on them, so my guess is that one of them could've snapped."
After that, the two youngsters left the office.
The first person they approached for clues was Fargoth, a young Bosmer living in the village, who said that he wasn't at all surprised that he got murdered. Nobody liked the man, according to Fargoth, apart from a woman called Thavere, who lives at the Lighthouse. Going to her for clues was their next logical step.
The Dunmer broke down crying as soon as she heard the news, admitting that she and Processus were lovers, and saying she didn't know what to do without him. It was clear to the two youngsters that she was not a suspect, but they insisted on interviewing the lady in hopes of learning clues they could use to find the murderer. All she could remember was that Processus once talked about an argument he had with Foryn Gilnith, a local fisherman, over taxes. Based on the tax records, this man owes a lot compared to many others, and suspiciously, hadn't paid a single Septim. The fact that the man was a fisherman was also suspect, as it could potentially explain why the body was found by the sea. It was time for them to seek out this man.
Surprisingly, the mystery was solved immediately, as the man confessed to the murder. "Yeah, I killed that fetcher", he said without a hint of hesitation or regret. It angered Karim, who took the man by his collar and pushed him against the wall.
"That's no reason to kill a man", he said, but the grey-skinned elf just smiled, almost as if telling Karim to do something about it. "He was just doing his job", Karim continued.
"Fetcher is what he was, a thief, corrupt to the bone", Foryn said. "I did everyone a favor by getting rid of him."
Aliya put his hand on Karim, urging him to pull away before he punched the Dunmer. Aliya had noticed that the suspect was armed and didn't want things to get bloody. "Stop, let's not hurt him."
Karim wanted to punch the man so bad, but he relaxed his grip anyway.
"Smart girl", Foryn said. "Now walk away, outlander. I'm by far not the only one in this town who hates the Empire's thieves."
"Let's go", Aliya said, trying to pull Karim away from the situation again. After a little more hesitation and resistance, he finally decided it was for the best.
Outside, Karim seemed confused at how Aliya had just acted. "What was that about? I should be arresting him right now!"
"Well, I mean…" Aliya began, fidgeting. "I get he's in the wrong, but he was armed!"
Karim sighed. "I know he was. I wasn't gonna let him hurt me, if that's what you're worried about."
"Besides, I don't like the Empire too much either", Aliya suddenly admitted, "not after everything they put me through… so I kinda sympathize with him. He's probably struggling to make ends meet too…"
"That's no excuse to kill a man", Karim said strictly. "And sure, I have some bad blood with the Empire too, but let's not forget who we serve. We're both Blades, aren't we? We have to do what's right. Besides, we're getting paid here, remember?"
"I suppose… but that's not a reason to get our hands bloody", Aliya said. "Come on, Karim. Let's go report him to the authorities, so they can decide what to do with him."
And that's precisely what they did. They both got paid for their troubles, and the local Legionnaires arrested the criminal, preparing to escort him to Fort Moonmoth, where he would be jailed as a punishment. As it was getting late, Aliya and Karim decided to rest for the night and prepare for the next day.
The following day, the pair of Aliya and Karim departed for adventure. Their target, the ruined city of Arkngthand, wasn't too far away from Balmora; cross the river, follow the road to Fort Moonmoth and turn left before reaching its gates, cross the old Dwemer bridge to Molag Mar, and voila, there it would be standing. On the road, they chatted a lot about themselves, trying to get to know each other, mostly talking about their current jobs outside their duties for the Blades. They also talked about the kind of work they had been doing so far, which in Karim's case, was a lot more, as he had been in Morrowind for a while longer.
As they approached their destination, crossing the old metal bridge constructed over the "foyada", a dried-up lava river running from the Red Mountain to the sea, they were attacked by a bandit, an Imperial male. It spooked Aliya out a little because it was the first time ever she had been attacked like that, and the bandit, wielding an axe, was talking about all the nasty things he would do to Aliya, about how "they" would rape her for hours and make her beg for her life. Had it not been for Karim, he might've even succeeded. Aliya was a talented mage but had no experience dealing with bandits like this. Karim got himself injured in the melee, but not severely. As soon as he managed to defeat the enemy, Aliya came for her companion's aid.
"Are you okay?" Aliya asked, showing genuine concern. Karim simply nodded, and he sat down. "I'll try to heal you a little. Show me where he got you."
"Here", Karim said and exposed the deep wound he'd been inflicted with.
Aliya was no master of Restoration, but she knew how to heal injuries like this. "Give me a moment", she said, but what the bandit had said was making her worry, and her gaze and focus to constantly wander off. "Are there more of them?" she asked.
"Yeah, I think there are more", Karim said, "but try to focus on stopping the bleeding. I'll focus on surroundings."
It took her some time, but after ten or so minutes of tending to her companion, Karim felt as good as new. The wound was gone, and not even a scar remained.
"That felt good", Karim said and stood up. "Thanks, you're the best."
"Y-you're welcome", Aliya replied with a shaky voice, blushing slightly. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, let's go. I think the door is just behind the hill."
Although they found the door, they couldn't figure out how to get past it at first. It was a strange, sturdy, and round metal contraption that wouldn't budge no matter how much they tried. They eventually found a tiny gas valve they could turn to activate the door, but even then, it took them at least two more minutes trying to figure out exactly how the door worked. Opening it blocked the entrance, but only briefly. When it closed, they were locked inside but would be able to enter the ruins. Thus began their descent into the depths of this ancient city.
Just as they predicted, and just like the bandit had alluded to, they found more enemies. A pair of bandits, another Imperial accompanied by a Redguard, were sitting down at the bottom of a staircase, sharing banter, talking rather loudly about something.
"I have a plan", Karim said. "I need you to take out one of them for me."
Aliya's heart was racing because she had never assaulted anyone before. She was afraid to say it out loud, so she simply nodded and urged Karim to explain the plan in as much detail as possible, as the last thing Aliya wanted to do was fuck it up. After about a minute of explaining and rehearsing it, they decided to put the plan into action.
First, Aliya descended from the ledge to the lower level, where their two targets were waiting. There was also another passage down, a spiraling staircase that didn't look like the safest route to choose, and Karim took this path. The enemy hadn't noticed their presence yet, and they were being set up for an ambush from both sides.
Seeing that Aliya was ready to strike, Karim purposely let himself be discovered. The two bandits bolted up, swearing, picking up their weapons, and hurling threats in Karim's way. Aliya snuck up to the Imperial male, and from behind, she slit her throat open with a dagger while Karim charged forward. Realizing his partner had just been killed, the remaining bandit lost his focus on the approaching enemy, but just for a moment. He could parry Karim's attack but wasn't prepared for what was coming next.
"Dodge!" Aliya commanded as she plunged her two hands forward, pressing them against her enemy's back. She unleashed a torrent of fiery flames that engulfed her enemy, flames that Karim was more than capable of avoiding. He finished off the enemy with a couple of unprotected attacks and let out a sigh of relief.
"That was easy", Karim commented.
"I-I can't believe I actually killed a man", Aliya said in utter shock, sounding out of breath. She looked at her bloodied dagger, but it was the least of her worries. Her attention was brought to the wounded corpse, bleeding profusely, with his skin suffering from serious burn damage. Aliya couldn't stand to look as it reminded her of how her flames used to burn five innocent people alive that one night.
"You'll get over it", Karim said and tapped Aliya on the shoulder. "Judging by how their ally outside the ruins acted, they were criminal scum anyway."
"But they must've still had family, people they love, people who love them…" Aliya said, trying to reason with herself.
"I don't mean to sound cold, but it's best you don't think about it like that", Karim said. "Just wipe your weapon from blood and put it away, so it won't rust."
They immediately found out that they weren't able to progress further. A tall man wielding a large warhammer emerged from inside a door on another tall ledge, accessible only by a bit of climbing. "What the fuck is this ruckus about?" he asked, laying his hammer on his shoulder. "A couple of fucking kids? What have you done to my friends!?"
Aliya and Karim both prepared for combat. The enemy, visibly angry, jumped down and attacked the couple. He wasn't even making any threats about what he was about to do. He simply wanted to kill. He seemed more focused on Karim, as he didn't see the puny barehanded elf as a threat. Feeling confident about herself though, Aliya gathered all her courage to go on offense, once again deciding to rely on her magic. She unleashed another close-quarters fire spell, thinking it might even be extra effective because of the plate her enemy was wielding. She did manage to do plenty of damage, but it was clear that the enemy wasn't going to go down so quickly.
"You fucking cunt", he shouted. "I'll rape you!"
"You can't win", Karim said, and with his enemy being distracted, just like the last time Aliya intervened with the previous bandit, he was able to strike at his enemy. The bandit blocked the attack, but Karim could follow up with another, disarming the thug. With no more weapons at his disposal, the enemy simply plunged at Aliya in a last-ditch effort to turn the tables around, and she was unprepared for such an assault. Green as she was, she had no counter for this giant of a man grabbing hold of her, putting her in a chokehold.
"Alright, pretty boy", the man threatened. "Drop your weapon, or I'll snap this cunt's neck like a twig."
Karim did as was ordered and let go of his sword, even going as far as to kick it away from himself.
"Who sent you?" the bandit asked.
Deciding it would be best to act chill, Karim told everything, but ended up twisting the truth ever so slightly. "We're looking for a puzzle cube. My associate here hired me to help with retrieving it."
"Hired you? So you're a mercenary?"
"That's right", Karim replied.
"Is that so?" the man asked. "Answer me, you whore. Why do you want the puzzle cube?"
"Someone from the Fighters Guild wants it. I'm not sure why", Aliya replied, truthfully and honestly. The Nord wasn't impressed with the story and demanded further explanation. "His name is Hasphat Antabolis. In return, I need information from him regarding the Sixth House and the Nerevarine Cult…"
"Sounds like horseshit, but you're in luck ", the man says. "I have the cube, and it's fucking useless. We've tried to solve it for weeks. It's supposed to be the key to open the door that leads further down, but it's all a fucking scam, I tell you." He then turned his gaze towards Karim. "I'll give it to you, so you can fuck off, and we can fuck off as well, and stop wasting time on this god-forsaken island. The girl is coming with us. Any objections?"
"None", Karim replied with a stern expression. "I'll return the cube and get the payment for myself, as my employer can't pay me anymore."
"N-no way…!" Aliya replied in horror. Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't believe that her ally would be willing to give up and abandon her so easily. "K-Karim, please…! You can't!"
"You're a smart man", the bandit said with a wicked grin as he groped Aliya's tiny, developing breasts. "She's such a beauty… I think after raping her for a while with the boys, I can even forgive you for killing my underlings."
"Please, please no…!" Aliya pleaded in tears, closing her eyes. Memories of being in captivity, being raped and abused day in and day out flooded her mind as the realization of her immediate future started setting in. It was going to happen again, but this time with bandits? Was she going to become a sex slave for some band of criminals? She couldn't bear the thought, leading her to despair as it didn't look like salvation was possible anymore.
"So, where's the cube?" Karim asked.
"It's in the room where I came from", the bandit said as he continued to tease the girl in his grasp, going as far as to pinch her nipple through the shirt, laughing through his grin and breathing heavily. Suddenly, however, he let go of his target, screaming in pain. Realizing she was free, Aliya plunged her body forward and fell to the ground, placing her hand on her hip where her dagger was sheathed. The short blade was in Karim's hand. He had taken it while walking past the distracted bandit and stuck it straight through his enemy's eye. Karim proceeded to cut the enemy's throat open, after which he tossed the dagger back to Aliya, right to her feet.
"You go ahead, get out of here", Karim said. "There could be even more of them, so hurry. I'll go get the cube so we can leave."
Aliya, still feeling like she could cry, with her entire body shaking and shivering from fear, picked up the dagger and did as was told. A pure rush of adrenaline forced her legs to move, and she practically ran up the spiraling road back to the surface. She collapsed to her knees at the door and laid her back against it, trying to catch her breath. It really was a testament to how badly her physique had deteriorated during imprisonment, as she couldn't move at all, run one step further, and had no strength left in her body. After about a minute had passed, she heard steps approaching. She raised her gaze to stare at Karim, who was holding a tiny, ornate metal cube in his left hand, right hand extended towards Aliya. He helped her back to her feet, and Aliya collapsed forward, leaned against Karim's body, and hugged him tight. Karim hugged her back and assured her that she was safe with him. "Don't you worry, I was only acting…"
"Y-yeah, I-I g-get it n-now…"
"Let's go somewhere safe", Karim suggested after realizing how shaken-up Aliya was. "Keep close to me."
Sun was already setting when the two youngsters left Arkngthand, and by the time they made it past the Dwemer bridge and into the wilds, it was already pitch-black outside. It was only one hour's walk back to Balmora, but they decided that it would be best for them to sit down for a while. They decided to relax on the shores of the Odai River just south of Balmora, hidden from a view behind a hill when looking at from the road. It was a nice and peaceful campsite that Karim had once stopped by to catch fish with two of his fellow Legionnaires.
They had stayed relatively quiet for a long time, with Aliya being confused and still a little scared about what had happened. Meanwhile, Karim worried that he had made her mad.
"Aliya, I…" Karim didn't know how to apologize, so he just stuttered and stumbled on his words. He sighed, scratched his hair, and tried to relax. "You're not mad at me, are you?"
Aliya shook her head slowly, giving her companion a shy smile. "I was worried you were for real… It's not like we know each other well or anything…"
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that… I was afraid he was going to kill you, so I couldn't just charge in without a plan."
"I understand", Aliya said and proceeded to crawl closer to Karim. She leaned against him and hugged him again, which Karim was surprised about. Gently, she wrapped her small arms around his waist and thanked him quietly. "Thank you so much. I wouldn't have been able to do that alone…"
"I can't help but feel a little worried for you", Karim said and laid his palm on Aliya's back, holding the young elf in his arms. "I feel like you're very strong in some ways, but weak in others…"
"Oh, I know… I haven't been an adventurer for a long time…"
"You said you'd never killed anyone."
"I… I have… Just not like that…" Aliya said. Karim noticed that the girl laying her body against him was crying, sobbing ever so quietly. "I once caused an accident… Many died because of me… That's why it was so horrible… Trying to burn that man alive reminded me of it…"
"If I knew, I wouldn't have forced you to do that", Karim said as he gently stroked Aliya's hair. "But you said it was an accident. It wasn't your fault. There's even a saying here in Morrowind that teaches you, "No child has a sinner's heart"."
Aliya simply nodded, and it made Karim glad.
While he was comforting her somewhat successfully, he just stared at the young child in his arms. It brought back fond memories of how he used to care for his little sister back in the day. On some cold nights traveling through Hammerfell, she used to crawl under the same blanket and snuggle up real close to her big brother. To Karim, that was always a bliss that made life worth living through pain, as the safety and well-being of her sister always made him feel fulfilled. He hadn't had anyone like that in his life ever since he was separated from his sister, so holding this elf in his arms and hugging her gently reminded him of those days of his late childhood and early adolescence. It was making him slowly realize that maybe Aliya would also be worth protecting. He asked himself, would he ever even feel the same amount of fulfillment from protecting someone not related to him by blood? Would they even be friends a week from now? Was he just looking for an outlet, for something to fill that void of loneliness that was left by Kanna when she was taken from his life? Did it even matter? "I guess not", he thought, trying to focus on the now.
"I can't help but feel nostalgic", Karim finally admitted. "I used to do this a lot with my little sister. She was very close to me."
"What happened to her?" Aliya asked, finally raising her face to look at Karim. "Where is she now?"
"I'm not sure", Karim admitted. "We used to be part of a bandit clan. Blackhawks, as they called themselves. They killed our parents and took us into custody."
"So, you're an orphan too, huh?"
"You too?" Karim asked, visibly surprised. "I guess we're more similar than I thought."
"But what about your sister?"
"I had planned to betray the clan, but it didn't really go as planned. We were separated when Kanna was arrested, and I escaped. I tried to save her and take her along with me, but I was too late. I don't know what happened to her after that."
"Kanna, huh…? Black hair, shorter than me?"
"Y-yeah… She's nine…"
Aliya nodded. "I know her."
"What!?" Karim felt like bolting up. "W-where is she!?"
"I… I have a feeling you won't be happy… Are you sure you want to know?"
"I HAVE to know. Tell me."
"There's a juvenile correction center in the Imperial City prison, where many children and youngsters who have committed crimes go. You must've heard of it. There was a young Redguard girl there, whose name was Kanna. She used to have short, straight hair cut right above her shoulders when she arrived, but I guess it's gotten longer by now. Now that I think of it, you guys have the same eyes as well."
"That's got to be her", Karim said and let out a sigh of relief. "At least I know she's safe…"
"I didn't really get to tell everything", Aliya said with a weary look in her eyes. "That place was hell… Pure torture… A slave den, for us to be turned into playthings… The owner was a rapist, a truly horrible man… And so were his lackeys…"
"I… I get it… Don't tell me anything else…" Karim said, suddenly feeling angry. "And you mean to tell me she's there right now?"
"Yeah, but remember Socucius? I told him everything. He promised that the facility would be shut down with the owner arrested. Even if she's still a prisoner, she won't be a slave any longer."
"I hope you're right", Karim said, sounding at least somewhat relieved. "Still, now that I know where to find her, I would be foolish not to follow this lead."
"Are you sure you can leave this island though?" Aliya asked. "I mean, we're under lockdown… Barely anyone can come in without a permit, and almost nobody can leave."
"It worries me as well", Karim said. "Fucking blight… The Empire is so scared of it spreading to the mainland…"
"Yeah… It's some scary shit…"
"Thank you for telling me, Aliya. I know what I must do now."
Aliya beamed at Karim and raised her arms above his shoulders. "And thank you for helping me. Who knows what would've happened to me if I had to go to that place alone."
"You've got to promise me to train harder though", Karim said. "I don't want anything bad happening to you, so promise me you'll learn to take care of yourself and become a splendid adventurer."
"I promise", Aliya said. "What will you do now?"
"I think I'll try to get back to Cyrodiil. If there's even the slightest chance that I can meet my sister again, even for just a brief moment, even to just confirm that she is safe and tell her that I'm safe as well, I'll travel to the end of the world to see her."
"I wish you luck. Will you return to Vvardenfell after that?"
"I don't know. Probably. Depends on what happens."
"Alright", Aliya nodded, as her smile turned shyer. She spoke her following words, almost in the form of a whisper, leaning her lips closer to those of Karim. "Do you want to do something to remember me by…? Just in case…?"
Karim's heart skipped a beat. He could see from the blush on top of that Altmer's cheeks, and judge from the way she pushed her chest against his plate, that she was clearly coming onto him. He just froze, not knowing what to do because the sudden development of a girl offering her love to him wasn't something he expected or was even thinking about a while back.
"I… I guess you're not into children, huh… I'm sorry for being weird…"
Karim gently kissed Aliya on the lips, allowing them both to relax completely and have their breath get taken away by its pleasantness. They kissed multiple times, with each subsequent kiss being more passionate than the previous one. Eventually, their tongues accidentally touched each other briefly, stopping them for a short while as they just stared at each other. They couldn't resist the temptation of eating each other out more, so they immediately went back at it.
Aliya wanted to feel Karim's body even closer and to get even more intimate. She climbed on top of him first, to spread her legs and kneel on top of his closed-up legs, and her hands were desperately and blindly trying to figure out how to get rid of the Imperial plate covering up his chest. Meanwhile, Karim's hands were busy inspecting the small girl's goods, with both of his hands on her waist, rubbing them downward to caress her hip, her soft thigh over the linen cloth, and eventually even her plump, soft butt. Aliya moaned in approval, and insisted on catching her breath. She was feeling incredibly steamy and light-headed, and with her mouth gaping with lust, she offered to show him her topless form, displacing her shirt. Karim, of course, also took the opportunity to remove some of his armor.
Aliya placed her slender hands on top of Karim's chest and felt his warmth through the shirt. All that was going through her mind was how hot he was, how fit he was, and how much she just wanted to get even closer. She soon got her wish, with two large palms pressed against her bare back, pulling her in. They kissed once more, and Aliya stuck her tongue out properly as she practically grabbed the shirt, tugging it as she hugged Karim back.
Not long after, Karim finally displaced his shirt and decided to immediately go on offense. His hands were firmly on Aliya's hip, and with a mastery of a practiced thief, he intended to unbuckle her belt to get his hands on that young elf's bare ass and bald crotch. Pulling the tight-fit linen down along with the pearly white panties, he noticed a wet spot. She was soaked already. He took the opportunity to touch her soft, preteen pussy, and he heard a soft, high-pitch moan of approval escaping the elf's lips. His finger dug into her slit slightly, and he found the right spot. Underneath her index finger's pressure, that soft yet tiny hole puckered up so incredibly tightly, but still acted oh-so welcoming. Nothing in Aliya's body language or facial expression suggested she wasn't okay with what was happening. In fact, she looked so eager and horny with that shy smile of hers. At that point, Karim knew that he could do anything he wanted to that girl.
Displacing her shoes, socks, and pants completely, Aliya moved on to remove her bracelets as Karim himself got rid of the rest of the steel guarding his body. Eager to help him out, Aliya kneeled in front of Karim, with her head right on the same length as his hip. She grabbed his belt with both hands and stared the Redguard up, licking her lips. She found her way into his pants, pulled them down just enough to reveal the erect black cock to her white face, and grabbed onto it with both her hands, neither of which could even wrap around the shaft completely.
With her left thumb and pinky wrapped around the base and lower shaft, and the right palm firmly grabbing the cock in the middle, she opened her mouth wide, stuck her tongue out, and took it into her mouth, letting her soft, wet lips glide down its base. She sucked on it vigorously and with all she could muster, but with slow and calculated strokes, pressing it against her inner cheek, but also against the back of her throat. For all intents and purposes, Aliya was milking that cock to make Karim cum as fast and as hard as possible.
Karim found it so surreal. Sure, he had bedded women - some of them even wanted to give him fellatio - but Aliya was as young as his own little sister. That was a child's face, a child's mouth wrapped around his teenage cock. What's more, she did it with amazing technique. The pleasure and the suction of that little mouth made his knees feel weak, and he couldn't help but moan quietly. He stroked Aliya's hair with his hand, calling him such a good girl, and praised her ability to give amazing head.
Feeling the cock throb with pleasure, and sensing that she didn't need to push much longer to milk him dry, she adjusted her position to take it even further down her throat. Her gag reflex had been trained well enough for her lips to travel more than halfway down the shaft, which Karim just couldn't believe. It didn't even take a minute from her starting to deep throat that cock for him to finally reach climax. Aliya took it all in her mouth, keeping her lips tightly wrapped around the cock all the way until the larger loads had been shot. She let her lips travel alongside his glans until she finally parted from him, with the black cock still leaking pearly cum from its tip. Aliya then, making sure not to make a mess, emptied her mouth, swallowing the load.
Despite being young and resilient, Karim knew he needed a moment to regroup, but he could still prepare Aliya for further fun with his hands and body urging and pushing Aliya down to the ground. With her back against the soil, she giggled playfully as she spread her legs, inviting him to have his way with her body. Karim placed himself between her legs and reached forward with his right hand to rub and grab her groin. His middle finger was eager, and it dug its way into her folds.
Aliya reacted by gasping for air and smiling with delight as she moaned quietly, but with a lot of weight. Karim found his finger pushed all the way to the base and realized that the girl underneath her was wet all the way through. He could not hold himself back at all. Feeling like he just had to fill that hole immediately, he adjusted his pose and guided his glans to her vagina, pushing the tip forward, teasing it, and testing the waters. It seemed impossible just looking by the eye to fit something that big into something that small, but he was going to try with all his strength if need be. He grabbed hard into her waist with both hands and plunged his cock forward with all his might. A wild, loud moan was forced out of the young elf, whose eyes rolled back with the pleasure of having her pussy finally filled with the warmth of a rock-hard penis.
Karim started out slow and gentle, with long and deep strokes, but no matter how deep he went or how much he tried to push against the child's cervix, he could not reach his cock all the way inside. It was a minor inconvenience considering the incredible sensations his dick was experiencing. That tiny, pale-skinned elf was practically sucking his cock in with a perfect blend of cloudy softness and irresistible tightness. It made him want to do her harder.
He took hold of her thighs, pressing his fingers down on her skin, and pushed them forward and apart as his waist worked in and out of the girl with increased speed. She had a look of pure pleasure written on her face as she just laid her hands down on the ground, clasping them into fists while inhaling and exhaling high-pitched moans. Her eyes were closed shut, and her body turned and twisted with pleasure, but despite his rough hammering, those tiny mounds on her chest were too small to shake along. Karim noticed that this little elf was on the verge of an orgasm, and he was more than happy to give it to her. The last thing he wanted was a change of pace, as whatever he was doing obviously was giving her the most enjoyment.
Aliya's pleasure reached its apex, and she reacted wildly to it. With the huge cock grinding in and out of her constantly and the Redguard's hands and body keeping her firmly down, all she could do was deal with the heightened senses that her climax had given her. She moaned more loudly and with a much faster frequency. She could barely handle how weakened she was feeling because of the pleasure, and after about a minute of being caught in a loop, all her body did was yearn for more and to experience it all again. She verbally begged Karim to do her harder, calling his name out loud several times in the process. Karim was more than happy to comply, but not before grabbing onto her hip again.
Having her hip suspended in the air, she kept her legs spread as wide as possible as Karim continued to pound her even harder. With his incredible speed and power, she knew he would not last much longer, but it didn't matter to her because she was already feeling so much fulfillment. All she wanted was to cum one more time. She reached her hand towards her own crotch to touch her clitoris and started rubbing it wildly as the cock continued to pump in and out of her. She also saw on his face that he was on the verge of cumming. Wanting to make it as good as possible, she continued to rub herself out while repeating the words "I'm gonna cum" many times over. She managed to reach her climax once more.
Karim released a loud moan of his own as his mouth gasped for air, and his ejaculate shot forward. He had little to no regard for any consequences of cumming inside a girl, as it didn't even cross his mind with his primal mating instinct taking over his body and mind. He pressed himself forward until the very end, making sure to shoot it all deep inside that little elf's cunny, only to then, a while later, pull his dick out and sit down, gasping for air.
Aliya laid still with most of her body unmoving, with only her hands on her crotch. That left hand was still lightly pinching that little bean while the right hand inspected the damage. She could feel a blob of thick cum escape her now puckered-up hole and felt it roll down slowly like a hot droplet of sweat. Two thoughts crossed her mind: that certainly was something for both of them to remember each other by. It was the first time in her life that she had felt nothing but genuine joy while having sex, and she could tell that Karim was satisfied too. Secondly, she thought, "It's a good thing I hadn't started menstruating yet."
Following their fun, they bathed in the river for a while before dressing up properly and packing up. They had some travel snacks, but not enough to fend off their hunger. Besides, they were so tired and groggy that they didn't even care. All they wanted was to finally get some sleep, and food could wait for the morning.
They returned to Balmora in the small hours of the night feeling very happy about what had transpired. Neither of them harbored any regrets over it. Instead, they talked more about themselves, what they both used to do before coming to Morrowind, their good and bad experiences, and their difficult childhoods. They wanted to get to know each other better because they both felt like they were on the verge of becoming very special friends. They had befriended each other already, but they wanted to consider each other more than that. Perhaps they didn't want to see each other as lovers and start dating, but they wanted to consider each other comrades and allies and perhaps go on an adventure in the future again.
For now, though, at the end of a long day, they shook each other's hands as a friendly gesture, hugged each other briefly, and promised each other that it wouldn't be the last time they met. Aliya wished Karim well and told him to find his sister, while Karim told Aliya to make sure she trains well before going on an adventure alone. From there, Aliya returned to Caius Cosades, where she found the Spymaster already fast asleep, and Karim went on to sleep at the bunkhouse constructed within the confines of the Fighters Guild.
