Road to Paradise, Part One

Excerpt from the Bioengineer's Logbook; "a Study on the History, Biology and Behavior of Nymphs", entry number three, "Introduction of the Demon and Miasma."


While there are predators and carnivores who feast on lesser creatures for survival, the closest thing that Phantasm to an apex predator is Nymph, and let's be honest, to call them apex predators is a grave insult to all the great beasts that roam various parts of the Milky Way. Nymphs are an herbivorous race that only eats plants, fruits, and berries, and their bodies can't even process meat. Besides, they are cripplingly weak physically. Sure, they are cunningly smart, they have a wicked sense of combat, and they're not really fit for consumption - technically making them "the top of the food chain" - but those traits alone should not make species an apex predator. They required some serious competition to knock them off the pedestal and remind them of their place in the hierarchy. That's why we introduced more animals to the world, mostly in the form of animals from the blue planet we found Nymph's "originals" from. But, we didn't end there because we also introduced a truly terrifying being to balance out Nymph's dominance on the Phantasm.


For yin, there is yang. For alpha, there is omega. For Nymph, that is Venus, there is the demon, that is Mars.


Demons are theorized to be related to ancient aliens known as Deliria, who several billion years ago in the early days of the universe dominated the galaxy as its sole superpower until their unexplainable disappearance from the Milky Way. Demons are native to the planet Tartarus, a super-Earth located deep near the center of the galaxy. In terms of reproduction, they're kind of like the anti-Nymph. While Nymphs can help other species reproduce and cultivate offspring of almost any sentient being in Phantasm, demons can do the same thing to females of any other species in Tartarus and beyond. Their highly invasive seed always grows up to be a Demon regardless of the egg it fertilizes. In addition to this, Demon's offspring loan heavily from the genetic codes of their mothers, making them a race of mutants of all sorts.


There are other similarities as well. Demons, like Nymphs, are invasive species capable of transforming worlds around them with their powers that many call supernatural. Nymphs produce source, while Demons produce miasma. As powers, they are directly comparable to each other, and while they have some major differences, they are both equally dangerous. If I had to compare them to common drugs, I'd say that source is like nicotine, while miasma is like alcohol. It's easy to get addicted to source after being merely exposed to it. Getting a fix of source feels satisfying and relaxing, and living for long periods without it will result in withdrawal symptoms.


On the other hand, miasma is something that gets its user intoxicated quickly and easily, but only momentarily. Once it wears off, the user will feel fine, most of the time at least. It isn't an addictive substance by itself, but the high that results from its consumption is incredible, and it's very easy for users of miasma to crave that high over and over and over again. The more you use it, the harder is it to escape its oppressive clutches. As far as Nymphs go, the taste of miasma will never truly leave them. Once tasted, a small fraction of miasma will forever linger in their brains, corrupting their minds and bodies until the day they die.


While demons are an ancient species that has dominated Tartarus for a much longer time than us Altarians have even existed, they have never left their home. That's not to say that they are dumb, because it's quite the opposite. Demons are extremely intelligent beings. In some ways, they even challenge our own understanding of what it means to be intelligent as a species, as they should be capable of creating interplanetary civilizations for all intents and purposes. Yet, they can barely hold their civilization together in their home world. It is because of this extreme intelligence that we found the idea of them sharing the world with Nymphs so very, very captivating.


Despite their overwhelming physical capabilities, we Altarians could easily subdue them using our technology and resettle some of them to Phantasm. Before we planted our demon subjects down to this world, we would make them dependent on source. Then we let the hell break loose. We had a feeling that this miasma would dramatically change Phantasm once again, and we were not wrong.


It didn't take long for them to realize that the only efficient way to extract source was through Nymphs, and because they're naturally so much more powerful than these little creatures, and just as smart, many fell a victim. Unlike most other species on this planet - both endemic and planted - Demons can actually track down source from great distances, following the trail of their prey. They are not perfect at doing this, but they sure are better at this than any other creature on Phantasm.


During the very first weeks of observing demons victimize Nymphs, we also got the first glimpse into what kind of effect miasma has on Nymphs, and we were not surprised to find out that the effects were devastating. Nymphs have always been hypersexual, sex-crazed beings that can only be described as somewhat "slutty", and miasma intensifies this even more. Many Nymphs who fell victim to demons did not meet freedom ever again, and those who did only did so because of outside help. As far as recovering goes, no Nymph could recover completely. It doesn't matter if the change is big or small; miasma truly changes Nymphs forever.


Now Nymphs knew of the demons and what kind of things they could do to them, but it is not in Nymph's nature to go down without a fight. Not even Demons could change it. Nymphs would actually continue to defend themselves against Demons - even coming up with even more innovative ways and tactics to defend against them - and much to our surprise, they did so to great success.


In the end, based on our short-term observations, not even Demons could disrupt the balance of this world, which turned out to be dangerous even for them. Is source having a negative effect on Demons and weakening them? Or do they simply find it difficult to accommodate their bodies to the weaker gravity of this world? We still, to this very day, do not know for sure, but it's unquestionable that Demons have become yet another cogwheel that rotates in harmony in the perfect clockwork that is the ecosystem of Phantasm.



Seven Nymphs start their adventure and depart from Grove with Paradise as their goal. They know they can complete the journey. Others have made the trip there and back by now, so why wouldn't they be able to do the same?


Two towns are by no means close to each other yet, not by a long shot. Even with everything going according to plan, the trip can take up to six hours on foot, and the valley between is dangerous. It could even be that it will never be possible to plan a safe route between the towns, but that's not something our heroines have to worry about short-term. They just want to get there. What their plans for the future will be depends on how the journey goes.


Their plan is to use known checkpoints and head first towards the abandoned Fort Hammercliff, as they suspect this area to be the safest route. Surely enough, nothing goes wrong. They haven't had to rely on potions yet, and they still have all their clothes intact. Their next checkpoint is the mountain range that separates the Hammercliff Valley from the Sparkling Forest.


Speaking of clothing, they've had some minor - or in some cases major - upgrades to their equipment.


Rain looks pretty much the same as she's always looked. She still has the same skirt, the same glasses, and the very same braids. She had Pink alter her hoodie slightly by changing its print, but that's about it. She couldn't resist the temptation when she found out she could model it after the "Superflat" clothing brand. That's not to say there haven't been recent changes to her other equipment though, because her weapon is actually a brand new one, and it's one she personally crafted from the Soul Lodestone she found. It could be transformed into a melee weapon when filled with souls and then combined with some rare ingredients. Naturally, she made it into a sword. White in color and transparent like glass, it has a straight, broad blade. Despite its length and reach, it's also light. While it has four effects, its stats are unremarkable compared to other swords sharing its rarity, mostly because of how two of the effects are. The other one automatically casts Soul Trap on enemies she hits, so she can steal their souls the moment they die, providing no combat purposes beyond that, and the other one doubles the effect of any enchant put on it. Still, it's miles above weapons she has found so far because of its damage alone, so it's going to be a trusty companion for her for a long time, perhaps for life. After all, it's suitable for collecting souls if for nothing else.


As far as style goes, Wendy hasn't changed much either; she has simply taken her punk-rock-look a little bit further. Her jeans shorts made are about as short as pants can be and are now complimented by a studded belt, and her black sleeveless shirt comes with a logo of one of her favorite punk rock bands, Ramones. She also made a switch from nylon and wears over-knee fishnet socks. She's got new rare weapons, which deal more damage, hold more ammo, and are even capable of rapid-fire, a feature that she's come to love. She still uses only arcane stone to power up her damage, which adds unique elements to the group and provides a reliable counter against casters, especially healers. She's also got a special "Scouter's Lens" for herself, which looks like an ordinary contact lens from the outside, but has a microscopic camera, a scanner, and a holographic projector attached to it. It automatically scans for traps, and reduces the cooldown of inspection spell with some extra functionality and double the information. While invisible on the first glace, it does change her right eye's color.


What about Angel? No changes as far as her clothing are considered. For starters, she likes her current style. Secondly, she's been unlucky. Her weapon is new on and while it's certainly good when it comes to stats, its not really designed for healers. Nobody else in the group wanted it, so she's stuck with it. She still only can cast holy spells, but at least her stone is a good one. She's a little jealous of all the good upgrades her friends have gotten, but she hasn't expressed it in any way.


Lemon and Pink haven't gotten any upgrades either but considering that they were lucky to get good gear early in the game, it's okay with them. Lemon still has the very same clothes - at least as far as appearance is considered - but Pink has changed her style a little bit. She admitted to liking baggy clothes, so to see her rocking a pale-yellow colored, skin-hugging t-shirt was a surprise for her friends. Her blue skirt is just as short as ever, her socks are multicolored, and her shoes are pink. None of the colors match, but hey, for one reason or another, that's what she was going for. Her transformation still makes her look like a magical girl with its frilly pink and white dress.


Snow and Crystal haven't had any changes to their weaponry either, and they still got the same clothes at first glance. Crystal actually has a pair of extra rare panties, which are nothing but thongs, but that's not important as far as her appearance goes. It's not like anyone's going to see them through her shorts.



Having reached the mountains between the two zones, they can choose from two options next, out of which both have their advantages and disadvantages. They can take a shortcut through a valley running between the mountains, leading them directly to the Sparkling Forest, but this valley is a hazardous place full of rapey traps. Their second option goes around the mountain, which is a long detour. Still, it should be a safe detour.


As the final barrier between them and the decision they have to make, they find a camp set by goblins displaced after the fall of Fort Hammercliff and fortunately have no trouble killing them all. As the last goblin falls to Rain's blade, she absorbs the soul for her personal use, only to be confronted by her friend.


"I just realized something", Wendy says. "You're a vegan, right?"

Rain doesn't know how to reply to one of her best friends, who should know her inside out, so she simply says, "Duh."


"How can you be fine with using the souls of your dead enemies then?"


Rain stops to think. Like, she really, really stops to think. She looks at Wendy with an empty stare in her eyes, and she realizes that there indeed is a little conflict of interest between her personal views and her actions. It causes her grave embarrassment. "I haven't even thought about it…"


"Hold on", Crystal says, intervening in the conversation. "Are souls even animal products?"


"More importantly", Snow continues, "are goblins animals?"


"MOST importantly", Pink says, trying to end the conversation. "Those goblins aren't actually real."


"By that logic, Rain should be able to wear leather as well", Wendy points out. "And souls are totally animal products."


"Bitch, are you trying to paint me as some kind of hypocrite?" Rain asks. "I mean, you're not wrong, but…"


Laughing, Wendy extends her hand to Rain's opposite shoulder, clinging up to her close friend. "Come on, it's just jokes!"


"Maybe I'm going to stop being vegan", Rain says, with a hand on her jawline. "Playing and experimenting with demons and souls is too fun a hobby to abandon just because of my real-world lifestyle…"


"The sky worries me", Angel says, gazing up at the grey skies, filled with a thick cover of clouds. Rain is rare on Phantasm but not completely out of the question. "It might not be a good idea to go there if it's going to rain."


"Oh, I see what you mean", Lemon says, taking a look at one giant flower that bears a resemblance to Rafflesia, and not just visually. It emits a strong smell as well, a scent laced with the same drug Demon's Whistle it. In fact, these flowers are related. Only, this one in front of them is impossible to harvest without. "I heard their smell carries with water, which increases their reach during these kinds of conditions."


"Exactly", Angel says, nodding. "We can't go there if it's going to pour."


"Well, this is a good time to rest anyway", Wendy says. "There should be a cavern nearby. Let's go there."



The cavern Wendy talked about is a really shallow one, and you can constantly see outside from there. It offers reliable shelter from the rain though, so at least they can stay dry. As is typical for the local climate, the sky clears up quickly, allowing the group to continue their adventure. They return to the valley, but just getting close to it is making them feel dizzy and strange. Lemon uses her abilities as an Alchemist to confirm the entire place being contaminated with a thick cloud of demonic miasma that will drive anyone mad beyond reason.


"It's a good thing we didn't enter the valley anytime sooner…" Lemon says, starting to back out, along with her friends. "We would've been wiped out…"


"It's so crazy to think that even nature can be against us", Wendy says. Only thinking about what could've happened to them causes her cheeks to blush and her heart beat madly.


"Are we fine though?" Pink wonders. "I can smell dick pretty strongly."


"Yeah, we'll be fine at this distance", Lemon assures. Then, she actually stops to think. "Wait a minute, dick…?"


"Oh, come on, it totally smells like dick in here."


"Well, that explains why Wendy is blushing", Rain says.


"W-what the fuck are you on about!? I'm not blushing because it smells like dick in here!"


"Whatever", Lemon says, sighing. "Let's get out of here already."


Wendy is very quick to let out a sigh herself. "Yeah, let's spare the dick talk for later and pick a different route."

"Are you sure?" Lemon asks. "I don't think it's a good idea to go to uncharted territories."

Arms crossed, Wendy replies: "Well, let's chart it then. This route is clearly too dangerous if bad weather can wipe Nymphs out. Besides, the mountain path should be safe according to those who I've talked to."


"Well, let's get moving then", Angel remarks, urging her team to follow her. "If we're taking a detour, the least we can do is hurry up."


With that, they push forward.



The road they pick is a rocky one and follows the mountainside very closely. Wendy has a good idea of where the next checkpoint is and has already pictured a route in her mind. Now, all they really have to do is confirm it to be a safe one. Here, they come across yet another valley, a bit wider than the last one. What makes this once different are the ruins of an ancient city built on the foot of the mountain. The ruins can be avoided completely, but they should be as easy to travel through with a scout in the party, so they decide to bravely go through them.


These ruins look just like the ones that Rain and Lemon got very familiar with, but there are different kinds of vegetation scattered around. For starters, there aren't the same kinds of trees and branches anywhere, which suggests that this place hasn't been corrupted by giant tentacle demons. There is some web scattered around though, which is weaved in a different manner than spiders weave their webs. It suggests that the place is populated by different kinds of horrible monsters called "Webworms".


Despite what you might think, Webworms are not actually bugs but rather direct descendants of demons. They're tentacle-like worms and larva that dig through underground in the dark, where they create their hellish nests. They only come out from their nests to hunt. They're not really good at it, and they're kinda slow, but they're really good at communicating with each other, which makes them a terrifying foe to be surrounded by. Besides, they're physically strong, and they can weave web like spiders, as evident by their name. They can grow to be about the size of a wild boar, and even a single strand of web can be strong enough to support the weight of larger webworms.


What's the most effective tactic against them? To stay as silent as possible. They're sensitive to noise, especially to girly noises made by Nymphs. That's why the group of Nymphs make their best effort to not say anything as they walk through the ruins. If they must, they communicate by whispering. Lucky for them, they have a straight path through the ruins to the other side, and there are no traps on the road either.


Something appears far out in front of them, and this something should reasonably make anyone scream or piss their pants. First, they see only tentacles, but then, the body of the colossal monster appears. It's clearly a Webworm, or is it? It looks the part, but it's way beyond the scale of a normal Webworm. The tentacles coming out from its gaping mouth alone are twice as long as your typical Webworm's entire body, and the mouth itself could probably swallow a giant one whole. It's thick like a whale, but the girls don't stay to look what it's like any further. Instead, they hide behind a corner leading deeper into the ruins.


"Did you manage to inspect it…?" Pink whispers.


"I-it's a freaking raid boss…!" Wendy replies, visibly shaking. "It's over ten meters long…! That shit's way beyond our capabilities…!"


"It's slow, right…?" Pink continues.


Wendy nods. "We should just run…! We should be able to get away… Just wait for my signal…"


They all clearly understand that it's probably a good idea, but is it the best one? They don't know which way the boss turned towards after coming from behind the corner. Away from them, or towards them? There's a fifty-fifty chance it's going to see them if they run away, and if it sees them, it's sure to alert every single worm in the immediate vicinity, and every second they waste standing still, they risk it getting closer to it. Besides, even though they have tactics for dealing with these monsters effectively, they don't know how to deal with a horde of them, and they sure as hell don't know how to deal with a raid boss. They all have different ideas about what they should do, and some of them are even hesitating to follow up with Wendy's plan, Wendy included.


"On the count of three", Wendy finally says, trying to collect her thoughts, "we run back the same road we came from…"


In the end, that's the plan they go by. They trust their strategist's judgment. And so, Wendy does the silent count, and with that, they all rush towards the exit. They have a fairly long sprint in front of them. Rain, who's keeping the tail at the moment, glances towards the boss, which luckily has turned the other way. Still, her heart jumps almost as if kickstarted, as she can hear a screech coming from where they were just hiding. There were tiny worms there, and they woke up from all the whispering. Or was it from their running? Either way, now screeching can be heard all over, with the message traveling across the ruins, alerting every single enemy in the area. The narrow path in front of them fills up with large webworms. They might be slow, but if there are so many of them blocking the path, they can't go through them. The paved road has many side paths, and there's one directly to the left of them.


"Plan B!" Wendy shouts, clearly not caring about the enemy hearing anymore. Damage has already been done. Instead, she summons her weapons. "Run for your lives! That way!"


They run towards the only way open for them, but it's leading deeper into the ruins. As bad as it is, it's still the best bet they have because every other one is leading towards certain doom. Where else could they go?


Left, left, right, straight, right, left again; they're constantly faced with choices in these maze-like ruins that almost feel like drawing them deeper with every choice made. Enemies are all over them, but luckily their movements are predictable, as they pretty much only go forward. Most of them are weak enough to run through and kill quick, as long as they don't come in groups. Like sperm-filled spider eggs and smiles, they leave behind a lot of goo on death, which may lead to some trouble as far as their equipment goes. So far so good, though.


Suddenly, they realize they've made a bad choice because they're led straight to a dead end, with the enemy on their heels. Blocked by about a dozen of small worms together with three larger ones, the Nymphs are forced to draw their weapons, which worries them because they know they can't waste time. They're all still coming for them, except for two large ones, which seem to be staying behind, shielded by their allies so they can shoot goo at them from a distance.


"Rush through!" Wendy commands. "Kill them all! It's the only way!"


Rain and Crystal are the first ones to attack, but they're not very effective against the small ones on the ground. Magic and ranged attacks seem to work best on them, which means that this is Wendy's and Pink's time to shine. Lemon's attacks are too slow to work properly, at least as far as the small ones are considered. She takes aim at one of the enemies further back and attacks it. The large one doesn't die, but at least it's interrupted for a moment. They also come to find out that the goo does not affect them physically, but being forced to take hits causes them to lose nearly all of their clothing in a flash. Regardless, they manage to push the enemy back and escape the dead-end before the hordes catch up to them. Now, they seem to have a straight, empty road ahead of them, leading out from the ruins towards the mountainside.


They run towards a bridge which, even after laying in ruin for a thousand years, manages to stand, and they slow down. There are no more small worms between them and their exit on the road above, but waiting for them at the other end of the bridge, the giant boss awaits. It wasn't on their heels from the start; instead, it was heading towards the exit, and its gamble may have blocked their way. The rest of the enemies are behind them, still following them, slowly but surely.


"It's either the boss or a sea of worms!" Rain yells, raising her sword. She has the most effective weapon against the tentacles coming out from the boss's gaping mouth, but she's still scared beyond reason, especially since she's started naked now. "Call me crazy, but I think this is more manageable than countless worms!"


"What's its exact rank?" Angel asks, trying to remain calm.


"It's a double X, so equal to ten Nymphs", Wendy replies. "Killing it is not out of the question, but with limited time… I don't think we can make it…"


"I have an idea", Snow says, beginning a complex spell. She pushes her palms together, crossing two of her outer fingers, and presses the tips of her index fingers hard against each other. A summoning circle appears underneath her feet, and she begins to channel mana. "Angel, give me your spare mana. I'll summon a strong ally to distract it so we can escape, but I need some help to do it."


"It has better work then", Angel says, walking behind Snow, and grabs onto her from behind. Physical contact is needed for the spell she's about the cast: Spirit Link. It links the mana pools of two Nymphs together, allowing the recipient of the spell to access the caster's mana. Not only will it make Angel unable to cast anything else for the duration of channeling, but it also drains stamina from Angel.


"Alright, Rain", Crystal says. "Since our healer is occupied, we just have to swap a lot. Are you up for the challenge?"


"Don't think we have much of choice", Rain replies.


While Pink, Lemon, and Wendy hold the enemy on the opposite side back, Rain attacks the enemy in front of her. With her sword, she poses an immediate threat to her enemy, who pulls back its tentacles, spreading them out. They sway in the air, almost as if trying to confuse Rain about which one is about to attack first. Rain can't rush in either because she knows that going too close will probably result in her getting caught. Besides, the sight of its wide, gaping mouth is a terrifying one.


Finally, tentacles attack, one by one. It's impossible to predict which direction they're coming from, but they are fairly easy to dodge. Trying to attack them in retaliation is a little too hard for Rain though, because she has to know where they're coming from to even hope to cut them. She's not sure, but she thinks there could be a pattern she recognizes. Out of pure luck, she manages to strike one of the tentacles down. The enemy is stunned momentarily, and in this moment's pause, the tentacle just grows right back. Even though she's not particularly tired yet, she allows Crystal to take over.


Crystal has way more trouble with the boss than Rain does. The most important thing when fighting tentacles is speed and agility, both of which are something that Crystal doesn't specialize in. She can dodge to an extent, but she can't even think about striking a retaliatory attack. Her mission simply is to keep the enemy's attention while Rain recovers.


This time Rain takes over by striking one of the tentacles clean in half from the side. Crystal immediately retreats and turns towards Snow. "How much more? I can maybe handle two more rounds."


"I'm halfway done…" Snow answers, trying not to lose her focus.


"That should be enough", Crystal replies, with a relieved smile on the corners of her otherwise worried lips.


Rain, faced with the boss once again, knows that's more than enough time for whatever Snow's planning. Still, she tries to conserve her energy as much as possible while also making sure to strike in retaliation as often as she can. It's not often, as she's left once again guessing where the enemy is coming from, but luckily, she gets one more hit in. That's when the boss manages to surprise her by changing its positioning. It raises its head into the air, looking almost as if trying to use all its tentacles simultaneously. In a state of panic, as her enemy tries to catch her, Rain performs a quick side roll out of harm's way, which allows Crystal to attack their momentarily stunned enemy. A powerful overhead axe smash crashes against and straight through the enemy's flesh, causing more damage against it than Rain ever could've hoped to deal. The attack causes the enemy to raise back up, but it does not appear to be stunned this time. It only stops to regenerate its tentacles when one gets cut, but Crystal's hit didn't cut any. The enemy is not stunned, so Crystal, who finds herself too close to her enemy, gets restrained in a matter of one quick second. There's no way for her to fight out of its grasp anymore. Instead, the tentacles now move and try to pull the helpless little girl towards its mouth, planning on swallowing her whole.


Rain is the only one who can save her now, so she rushes back in front of her enemy, or at least tries to. The enemy seems to be clever, and it's constantly trying to block Rain's advances with its body. It knows that it can't defend itself well with a pray in its grasp, and it knows that it can't really restrain an additional Nymph either, at least not before it has swallowed Crystal. The ground they're fighting on doesn't really allow Rain to run to the other side either because the giant worm manages to hover Crystal above the ground. Rain genuinely does not know what to do, and the situation starts to look hopeless.


"Ten more seconds!" Snow announces, visibly sweating.


That's not enough, Rain realizes, and finally comes up with one final risqué plan. She summons up her wings and plans to consume all of her available source to jump straight over the enemy and strike the tentacles down in one fell swoop before it swallows its prey whole. She has never really tried anything like that in actual live combat, so she's sweating bullets just thinking about it. Failure would prove devastating not only to Crystal but perhaps every single member of the team.


Tentacles are constantly twisting and turning the struggling child, who is absolutely helpless to stop the monster. It still doesn't have Crystal in an advantageous position, but it's already opening up its mouth as wide as it can and pulling the tentacles in to eat her alive. She asks herself, what awaits her in the belly of the beast? She knows she won't die or be digested there, but what awaits there could be even worse; large tentacles suggest that there could be more inside just waiting for a victim to prey upon. From inside the mouth, she can see more tentacles squirming, suggesting that there really is some kind of inescapable tentacle prison inside this boss, which just makes her more scared.


That's when finally Rain comes from above, cutting some of the tentacles in half. There's a long way down from the bridge to the dried-up canal underneath it. At the very least, Crystal is freed from the tentacles grasp and falls down together with Rain. At the bottom of the ancient waterway, the other way leads back into the ruins, while the other leads out, but where? They can't make sense of what's ahead of them, and they can't really see treetops either. The way towards the ruins is out of the question because more worms are coming from there. They run the other way, and they gaze up. The boss is facing the rest of the group, preoccupied with something.


Roughly when two of the Nymphs fell down from the bridge, Snow completed her spell. Her summon is truly a giant one, an elite minotaur wielding two swords. It left Snow dry and out of commission, and Angel is feeling the cost in her body as well. This minotaur is more than capable of holding the enemy's attention while the rest escape. They can't escape through the bridge, so they jump down where Rain and Crystal are. That's when they realize what their only escape route is. In front of them is a huge drop down from the top of the waterway to a lake below. From its shores, there are two more routes they can go; one leads underground beneath the mountain and one that continues directly northward. Based on what they see, it looks like Hammercliff Valley is ending, which means that the rest of the journey will go through the Sparkling Forest.


"The drop's at least twenty meters", Wendy says, looking down.


"I can't really fly anymore…" Rain says, trying to power up her wings. "I'm all dried up."


"I guess getting wet beats getting raped", Crystal says and bravely jumps down, summoning her wings in the process. She manages to use them to soften the blow a little bit, but she doesn't manage to fly to the shore. Others jump as well, one by one. Minotaur, which is not really good at tactics such as switching or defending, seems to have lost quickly, so the boss is already on their backs. Luckily, it really did buy them a lot of time to escape, and not content on jumping off the cliff with the Nymphs, the boss, along with the other worms, has to abandon its hunt.


Rain aims for the water, while the rest at least try to glide to the shore. Out of all the Nymphs, only Pink and Angel manage; they're both very good at handling wings. The rest are forced to get wet. On the shore, together with Crystal, who just got out, two Nymphs quickly realize that water might've been a better option after all.


The three Nymphs on the shore only catch a quick glance of a poison bottle thrown to their feet, courtesy of an enemy hiding in the woods. These mischievous, monkey-like hunter-gatherers are native to this forest, and while they're relatively easy targets, especially when compared to demons and goblins, they make up for their weakness with numbers, intelligence, and dirty tactics. They especially like to set up traps and ambushes.


Crystal, realizing her friends might not know how to react, tries to warn them. "Don't breathe in!" However, it's already too late. Angel and Pink are already contaminated by the poison spores they inhaled.


Four Nymphs in the water, realizing that something's going on, try to swim as fast as they can. Too bad they have trouble as well, thanks to tentacles hiding in the water. These traps, while relatively harmless, hold them down. As their first course of action, they strip their opponents of the little remaining clothing they have, but that's about as far as they can go. Easy zones don't have as rapey traps as harder zones do, so they don't really have to worry about getting raped as long as they struggle, but the tentacles make it impossible for them to help their three friends.


There are about half a dozen enemies in total within the line of sight, but there could be more. All of the opponents are melee and wield light weaponry. These Beastmen are about as tall as Nymphs are and kind of resemble tall, tailless chimpanzees. Angel - who doesn't know anything about these enemies - instantly resorts to her holy magic but quickly realizes that her spells are useless, meaning that she can't defend herself. It sends her into a fit of panic as she desperately tries to escape. She doesn't get far at all, and she feels fatigued already. She can feel her hastened heartbeat, and her vision blurs slightly for one split second. It quickly becomes very apparent to her that the poison had more than just one effect on her. Before she can properly even regain her composure and collect herself, she feels her body being pinned face down to the ground, and her hands are forcefully tied up.


Crystal tries to defend herself at first using her weapon, but she suddenly realizes that it may have been a mistake. The enemies are piling on her, trying to encircle her. Since she can't defend herself from all the directions at once, she gets surprised very quickly. She can mount some resistance and struggle, but it forces her to inhale the poison, sealing her fate. All she can do is try to delay the inevitable while hoping that the rest of the group can help her out.


Pink transforms as soon as she figures out she is in grave danger. Even though she has been slowed down considerably, she can at least defend herself with her magic and opts to fire randomly. The weakness of her enemies becomes apparent as she manages to take one of them down, but she can't fire in multiple directions at once. It allows her to get surprised and pinned down alongside her friends, who were just as unlucky as her.


All this time, girls in the water have been forced to watch. Lemon is in a relatively good condition and practically free of her enemy's grasp, but she can't help her friends without having two hands free, and she can't save the rest of her friends from the tentacles either. On the other hand, Snow is so badly tangled up in tentacles that she can't even mount resistance. Basically, she's just moments away from being raped, which is really unfortunate considering how weak these tentacles are.


Out of all the girls, Wendy is the one who has the best chance at striking the enemy since she only needs one hand to fire, but she can't get her hands free at all. "Please Rain, just cut the tentacles already!" she begs.


"They have my fucking hands!" Rain complains, trying to wiggle herself free. She's almost done with it and knows that she will surely manage, but she can't do it in time. Like the rest of the girls, she is forced to watch as the Beastmen take their catches, escaping straight into the cave. Only after they disappear out of the line of sight, Rain manages to get her hands free. Now, with a weapon in her hand, she proceeds to help her friends free while they slowly get away from water to the shore. They were way too late, and now they're too exhausted to chase after the enemy.


"Well, at least they're fucking Beastmen…" Snow says, sighing deeply, fortunate to have herself spared from insertion after all. "We can beat them, but how humiliating is this…? We let those weak shits get the better of us…"


"We've never heard of those things", Wendy says, getting up and summoning a stamina bottle for herself.


"Don't waste it… I can do some emergency healing…" Snow says.


"If you say so…" Wendy says, shrugging. "So, what are they like?"


"Really, really annoying", Snow replies, standing up. "They set up traps everywhere and try to ambush their victims just like that. They love hit-and-run tactics, and if they feel outnumbered, they flee like cowards. They live in pretty small communities, and their camps usually have from anywhere to twenty to thirty Beastmen…"


"…That's too many…" Lemon realizes, worried for their friends.


"Trust me, it's not", Snow says, trying to sound confident. "They're as weak as humanoids can be. As long as we're careful and manage to outsmart and surprise them, I'm confident we can save our friends."


"If they're weak, will our friends even get pregnant?" Rain wonders.


Snow doesn't reply with words. Instead, she just hangs her head and gives a slight nod.


"R-right… Let's formulate a strategy while we recover", Wendy says. "I'll assume you know everything about our enemy."


"Absolutely", Snow says, nodding.







Road to Paradise, Part Two

Meanwhile, beneath the mountain, inside its vast caverns, Beastmen take their prey to their hidden little camp. They haven't had any females in a long time, so they're extremely happy to get three Nymphs to breed with at once.


The beasts struggled to keep hold of the three at first, especially because there were only a limited amount of hunters, but once the poison started to kick in, Nymphs were done. Crystal couldn't explain its effects in time, but she knows exactly what kind of cocktail she's dealing with. Basically, it's a cloud made of three different types of spores, all of which have a unique effect, all of which work together to a devastating effect. Its most immediate effect is the numbing spores, which drain out Nymph's strength and stamina, slowing them down in the process considerably. It takes only a few seconds for these spores to kick in and then few more seconds for it to go into full effect. The next spore to take effect causes confusion and dizziness, limiting its victim's ability to perceive what's going around her. Needless to say, it also takes away from their abilities to stand up and walk straight, screwing up with their sense of balance. And last, the third spore intensifies the perceived sexual pleasure, forcing Nymphs into insatiable horniness that not even a good dicking will cure. It has the longest effect of them all and acts in a very similar manner that miasma does.


One thing that the drug cocktail cannot do to its victims is alter their minds. In other words, it's a combination of drugs that will leave its victims sane, at least relatively speaking. With all the three spores having effect at once, none of the girls can struggle anymore. All they can feel is the disconnect from their minds to their bodies, which are very much ready to be fucked.


In a central location, there's a large cage used to imprison, subdue and rape the victims. All three victims - Angel, Pink, and Crystal - are thrown inside, and Beastmen follow inside, leaving few to guard the entrance. These poor little girls are a little horrified by the numbers because they know that their friends will have to handle all twenty alone, and who knows how much they will have to suffer before they even get a chance to get saved. Can they even be saved? They can only hope so.


Pink, still hands tied, gets her face pressed against the rough blanket beneath her while she braces for the cock that's already rubbing her quim from a completely blind angle. She has had the fortune of avoiding these kinds of situations almost completely, having only been raped once, ever. She knew it would happen eventually though, and to be honest, she's been prepared for this to happen every time she goes out into the wilderness. She's still a little upset about being in this situation, but her body can't really signal it. With her butt sticking out, her wet hole is open for abuse.


What the hell is this poison? she asks herself, completely stunned by the effect it's having on her. My pussy has never felt anything like this! I think I may go crazy if he sticks his dick into me! Her heart beats fast, and she whimpers in protest. Although the Beastmen aren't even holding her down properly, she can't move at all with her hands tied. Then, the beasts take hold of her hips, and she can't shake them free. With a penis constantly teasing her opening, every single shlick from its tip is causing her to twitch and throb. She can't believe how unbearable it feels to be teased like this. I mean, I will be saved soon, right? she wonders. Is it okay for me to actually want his cock a little?


Beastman's adult-sized cock finally penetrates her, pushing deep against her cervix, causing her to let out a loud moan. It lacks in length compared to many other species, but it's still more than enough to overwhelm a Nymph, and it has plenty of girth for maximum pleasure. The Beastman thrusts his hips back and forth fast from the get-go, slapping and clapping against Pink's bare bottom. Her body gives in as her resistance dies down in an instant, and all she can think about is how good it feels to be manhandled.


Ah, fuck! It's raping me! I know I shouldn't enjoy this, but I can't help myself! It's so fucking good! She even feels the ties in her hands loosen up from all the shaking, proving that they weren't probably tied up that tight to begin with. Even though she manages to wiggle her hands free, she won't even dare to do anything but grip the blanket she's lying on. The beastmen in't trying to re-tie her up either, and instead just confidently watches as his dick grinds the little girl in front of him. There's no need for him to try and oppress Pink any further because she's already acting as obedient as a girl being fucked can act.


Meanwhile, Angel feels scared, and a little anxious as her rapist throws her back-first onto a blanket. What's worse is that the position of her hands is an uncomfortable one. There might be a soft blanket underneath her back, but with her hands tied, she can't support her body in any way at all. It's also worth noting that the ties for her are tied way tighter than those for Pink were, so they're not coming off accidentally either.


Even after all those weeks being stuck as a Nymph, Angel still doesn't completely identify as one, and aspects of her own nature quite frankly terrify her. She finds it unbelievably unfair that she's too weak to even stop enemies from raping her and using her as they please. However, this weakness is not limited to just her strength but also her sexuality. The dick pushing against her pussy is just intensifying this feeling of weakness, draining out the little resistance she has away from her body.


But how can that be? she asks herself as she lays on her back, watching at the Beastman who's rubbing his shaft against her vulva. I know this is rape. I know I shouldn't want this, so why? Why does it make me feel like this!? I never asked to feel like this!


Playful as her rapist may be, it's not content with just teasing the opening. It takes hold of Angel's waist and adjusts the tip against the entrance. "Aaah, no…!" Angel actually manages to voice a verbal complaint, but her plea falls to deaf ears as the cock penetrates her wet hole. She immediately feels it to be way bigger than the tiny spider that raped her once. It almost feels like a completely new sensation to her, and although tears well up in her eyes, she is forced to smile as she moans.


Wait, no! I don't want this at all! Why won't my body move! For Christ's sake, it will make me pregnant at this rate! It's the only thing she can think of while being fucked. The last time around, she could let out a sigh of relief because she was spared from the pregnancy, but now it's guaranteed to happen, and she knows it. Yet, her body and her mind continue to act disconnected. She might be terrified of becoming a mother, but just thinking about being impregnated makes her hornier.


This brings us to Crystal, sexually the most experienced one of the bunch. After all, she lived a life of sexual servitude as a slave to the goblins for a relatively long time, so being forced to submit is nothing new. Because of this, all she can really comment on her fate is, Oh boy, here we go again. She doesn't even consider resisting because she knows it's all pointless, and more importantly, her body remembers this sensation and yearns for it, even though her mind may not. Fuck it, she decides. At least this time around, I know for sure that help is coming, so go on and rape me all you want for all I care. Make me feel good. It's not going to matter.


Sitting upwards on top of a Beastman with her athletic tummy and flat chest facing her rapist and hands tied behind her back, she's forced to take the cock from below. It does allow her to observe the situation around her more closely, but to be honest, all her attention is on herself. Despite being the cowgirl in this situation, she's not putting any effort into pleasing her rapist, nor is she even allowed to. Her rapist is one strong, hairy boy to whom Crystal's measly body weight is not even an inconvenience. He can pretty much lift his girl with arm muscles alone, and so, with ease, he buries himself balls deep into his mate. Crystal can't help but push back with some counter-force, but in the end, it's just as meaningless as struggling would be on her part. All she can do is maintain her body in an upwards position, moaning hard.


It's very easy for all three girls to see; the lust is building up inside all the surrounding Beastmen and that they're going to be receiving even more dicks. Their current positions don't really allow for much more, but at the very least, their mouths are free. Pink gets a cock into her mouth and is made to look like a pig being spit-roasted while she's being fucked from two opposing directions. Beastman that turns to abuse Angel is a little gentler, as he's not trying to facefuck her as much as he's just trying to force her to suck the tip and kiss the shaft, but it's all overwhelming to Angel regardless.


Things are a little bit different for Crystal because there's plenty of room to play with her. From behind, a Beastman surprises her by pushing a cock into her anus, doubling the load between her legs. Both beasts thrust their cocks at different rates as well, each with a pace of his own. It brings her to the brink of orgasm almost instantaneously, but she's not allowed to shout out her pleasure because a third Beastman fills her mouth, shutting her up. Not even those goblins ever bothered to do all my holes at once. It's true; despite all the depraved things they forced her to endure, this is something entirely new. She can't deny that being gangbanged like this has been a lifelong sexual fantasy of hers, one that she has always kind of wanted to experience, just making her hornier. Oh, I love it! I'm so glad they're giving me some good memories!


Despite being lustful beyond reason, the Beastmen last really long in bed, as is evident by the fact that not a single one of them has cummed yet. Instead, all they've done is made their girls cum over and over again. Pink, for example, is caught in a loop she couldn't even anticipate earlier. She's so wet that the lewd liquid is dripping down her thigs, and she's begging for her rapists to show restraint. She mumbles like crazy as her childish moans are being muffled out of existence.


I can't take this, she complains in her head. He's too fucking rough! My pussy is burning up! She doesn't want to admit it, but what she really wants more than anything right now is for her rapist to just cum. Please, just cum! Fill my pussy up already! I don't even care if I get pregnant anymore, just cum already! Yet, her wish remains unfulfilled for a while longer. The Beastman fucks her like a madman through another orgasm, but Pink suspects it won't last for much longer.


Finally, the Beastman reaches his climax and begins to deploy semen into Pink's child-sized spermtank. To her, it's hardly a breather because her body is still all tense. Yet, she manages to relax for a little bit, especially with the Beastman in front of her pulling his cock out of her mouth. Now, the only sensation she can focus on is the violently throbbing cock inside her. It causes her eyes to roll back out of pleasure and sigh heavily out of pleasure. She wonders, Did it feel this good the last time around as well? Being cummed inside feels so incredibly satisfying… She closes her eyes and really stops to think what it means for her. Well, it doesn't require her to be a genius for her to know that it will make her a mother. The only question seems to be which Beastman's sperm will be the one to fertilize her eggs after it's all said and done.


There's commotion around her as more Beastmen want their turn. The first Beastman to cream into her is practically shoved out of the way. The others are lustful and tired of waiting. The cock that was just moments ago in her very own mouth is going to be entering her once used cunny, and she's not offered any time to relax.


I should've known this! she tells herself as the cock pushes deep into her hole. Fast and powerful insertion moves her forward, but the hands that support her stop her from losing her footing. Then, it becomes apparent that this one will rough her up even more badly than the last one. Before he starts thrusting, he leans forward to find her hands and grabs onto her wrists. Supported by her rapist, her entire upper body hovers above the ground. Then, he finally begins to slam his hips into her. This simple change in her position makes it all so much more extreme for her. Her body tosses and shakes around with every deep thrust, as her body is forcefully being pushed forward and pulled backward harder than before. What's more, she can't even do anything to ease her situation. Even the illusion of control she previously had has been stolen from her. As expected, she is forced once again to climax. Oh no, please don't tell me he's going to last as long as the last one! I'll go crazy! I will seriously go mad from his dick!


Angel's getting more she can handle as well. The Beastman between her legs wanted her all for himself, so the one making her lick his shaft gave room. He moves his hands away from her hips to take hold of her slender thighs instead and continues to push them open, and push them down as he roughs her pussy up. She continues to struggle against both the restraints on her hands and her rapist's grip, but not because she's scared, but rather because she just can't help but move her body. All she wants is a little space.


My pussy is so hungry for his cum!, she states, relishing in the amount of pure womanly pleasure she's feeling, eyes staring straight forward at the caged roof, mouth wide open and moaning. I had no idea I would ever enjoy rape so much!


She's not kidding; it's getting unbearable, but to say she's not enjoying being toyed with would be a lie. She's cummed so many times, and the pleasure she feels is unrivaled by anything she's ever experienced. Most of all, the tension within her heart is getting higher with every passing second. She doesn't know when it will happen, but she knows it's getting closer and closer. Her heart throbs at the prospect of being cummed inside. She was scared a while ago, but no more. He's gonna knock me up…! He's actually gonna do it…! I can't believe I actually want it to happen now!


Beastman finally stops, and his final clap pushes hard against Angel, who actually feels her butt lift into the air a little. Dick erupts into her with force, and her extreme relief is accompanied by a gentle orgasm which takes her breath away and draws a happy smile on her face. Although a lot is going on, the only thing she can really focus on is the idea of being cummed inside and what it means for her. And, well… Now that it has happened and her pregnancy is inevitable, she's not even going to care about the consequences anymore.


The next Beastman is quick to come for her. He pushes his way between Angel's legs, which do not close for the short moment she's free, and the next cock finds its way deep into her. Except, he doesn't start thrusting her right away. Instead, he leans forward, almost as if trying to hug her with the intention of undoing the ties. It comes at the delight of Angel, who couldn't be happier to put some life into her upper body, and it's only after this that the Beastman begins to fuck his mate.


He looks to start from the exact point the last one left at. With his hands on her hip and waist, he uses his force to lift Angel's butt away from the ground. Supported by only her back which is left rubbing the blanket beneath her, she - like Pink - is receiving arguably even rougher sex. She may already be exhausted and overwhelmed to the point of wanting a little breather, but she's somewhat okay with being handled the way she is.


Things are almost exactly the same for Crystal, as there's no way she wouldn't love what she's getting. Three dicks continue to ravage and invade her from all directions with hastened pace, all eager to cum. She can't retreat or lean anywhere as they just continue to push. She can't believe none of them have cummed yet, especially since they have her on edge at all times. Then, they start jizzing into her, one by one, all very close to each other. She can feel all of them pulsating at the same time, and she couldn't be happier. One Beastman's worth of cum alone is enough to drive any Nymph mad, so to get triple load is just heavenly for her. I wanna continue to explore my fantasies…! Give me even more dicks, I beg you…!


A still rock-hard penis escapes her mouth, which is the first one to leave her alone. There's still enough pep in the beastly rod to give her a generous slap of cum right across her face, and she takes it with eyes and mouth wide open in a clean line from her forehead all the way to her jawline. She would love to communicate her desire to continue being handled the way she's been already, but her pleasure won't allow her to form any kind of intelligible words. Beastman behind her back releases her from her shackles, leaving her "free" just like her two friends. It really is the same story all over again; there's absolutely no need to restrain any Nymph who has been fucked this silly.


New Beastman surprises Crystal from behind, and she's being pulled away from the last dick inside her. This Beastman tucks her closer to his belly, guiding her hip to sit on top of his dick. She's gonna play cowgirl once again, but this time with her facing away from the mate below her. It doesn't allow for any room to fuck her ass, which feels like a bummer to her. Her disappointment is short-lived though. Two new Beastman standing both to the left and right don't care about sticking anything into her. Instead, they begin to jerk off excitedly.


Despite the language barrier, Crystal has a hunch about what they want her to do, and since her hands are free, she's happy to do it. She grabs onto both dicks hovering close to her face, and she jerks them as the Beastman below starts to hammer her. Bouncing her hip up and down, she kickstarts her own hip movement to accompany her lover. That's right, she's the one doing the work. That's not to say that the Beastmen aren't assertive, but Crystal finds it refreshing nonetheless.


You wanna make the girl do all the work? She presents the question to the Beastmen but doesn't say it out loud. Fine, I'll humor you boys.


She kind of forgot about it, or rather, she chose to forget; she's pregnant now. At no point was she afraid of it happening, as she has experienced it both in-game and outside. She's secretly kind of glad that it happened. She has to reluctantly admit that she might actually have some kind of impregnation fetish, if you can even count it as a fetish. She never used to think about it in that way, but now that it did happen, it got her thinking: does she really? Well, whatever, she tells herself and decides to focus on what's more important right now. Fetish or not, I don't mind getting pregnant.


And that's basically how things continue to escalate. Eventually, Angel and Pink go back to servicing multiple dicks at once as well, and even they are forced to do some of the work themselves. Similarly, Crystal goes back to being manhandled by some Beastmen. They're all pretty sure that they have collectively already served one full round of Beastmen, but whenever they all get to serve all of them individually still remains to be seen. It's going to take a while to get to that point, and they know that their friends can't be too far away.



Meanwhile, the rescue party enters the vast cavers. For the first few minutes or so, the grey tunnel offers no sights for the four Nymphs to marvel at, but as they move inward, they enter a place that can only be described as an underground forest. It seems very strange to them that a cavern this large could be hidden inside a mountain which from the outside looks rock solid, but they have to believe what they see.


The ecosystem underground is similar to the place which can be found between the mountains. In other words, it's a dangerous place full of traps. It's without a doubt a place that would be foolish to brave without a reliable scout. In addition to the flora, some trees, and moss covering the rocks, many mushrooms thrive in this wet and dark environment. As for light sources, there's light shining through the crack in the mountain walls are also a lot of radiating crystals and even glowing concentrations of magic particles floating around.


"I'm so glad you weren't captured", Rain comments, glancing at Wendy. "Otherwise, this rescue mission would be a suicide mission."


"Yeah, and the fact that this place is a raid zone doesn't help", Wendy comments, sighing deeply, turning towards Snow. "Wasn't this place accessible through Sparkling forest?"


Snow replies with a simple nod and a "Yes".


"Is it a hard zone?"


Snow shakes her head. "It's comparable to the forest around Grove. Paradise is actually located in this very zone, so it's not very dangerous here overall."


"I guess it's safe to assume that this place can't be too much more difficult then", Wendy speculates. "We'll probably manage just fine, especially if we're careful."


"By the way", Snow says as she recalls something. "A piece of lore from the Beastman's logbook warned about a monster flytrap, which was translated to Venus Nymphtrap. That's probably a boss here."


"…They even have written lore books?" Lemon asks, surprised.


"Oh yeah, totally", Snow says, nodding deeply. "They're mostly incoherent ramblings and written in all caps though."


"Well, let's take upon their warning and stay the hell away from that giant flytrap", Wendy suggests. "Anyway, the size of this cavern is a bit of a problem. Where should we even head from here?"


"My guess would be to look for traps set up by Beastmen", Snow suggests. "Based on what I know, their hunts follow familiar trails, and their traps are always found on their trails. If you find one, you know you're on the right track. If you find another one, you can basically use that information to track down their base."


"That's convenient", Wendy comments and takes a look around. "What kind of traps should we expect? More poison?"


"Think more primitively. They rely a lot on ropes, snares, pits, and even cages. No need to worry about being raped if you get caught."


"Okay, that's super primitive", Wendy says, letting out a loud laugh. "Like seriously, you don't even need me to alert them."


And so, they begin their search. They pick a random direction and stick to it, heading towards the middle. They don't have to worry too much about enemies attacking them because most of them are just stationary monsters such as tentacle demons and carnivorous plants. Most insects they come across seem completely harmless as well… At least until they encounter a giant slug.


Big like a tank, it's like a mini version of the giant webworm they saw outside. It's not the same species, and it's slow and clumsy, but it's not an enemy one would want to go near it. With all its weapons located inside its mouth, it's safe to assume that this beast probably likes to eat its prey alive, after which they will either transport them elsewhere or rape them inside a tight, contained space. Lucky for them, the enemy has not noticed their presence yet.


Wendy is on the spot to inspect it, and she doesn't really know what to think. "It's a boss monster. it has a fuckton of health, but it's designed only for a team of five…"

"Well, to be fair, it IS a slug, which makes it slow…" Lemon comments.


"Well, let's continue", Wendy says and takes a step in another direction. After all, there's no way they're going to challenge a boss they can avoid. However, before she can realize what's going on, she finds herself hanging upside down in the air, with both her feet bound together. This causes her to let out a surprised yelp.


"For real, Wendy?" Rain says, sighing. "You fell for a trap made for dumbarse critters."


"N-no need to rub it in, asshole!" Wendy replies, beet red from embarrassment caused by her blunder, especially after the comments she made.


"Shame you're not wearing a skirt", Rain continues, as his eyes are locked to Wendy's chest, which is partially revealed by the upside-down shirt. "Oh, I can almost see your cookies."


"Shut up and let me the fuck down from here!" Wendy commands, with distress drawn on her face. "The enemy has noticed us!"


It's true; the yelp Wendy let out involuntarily in surprise alerted the slow-moving enemy, which now is trying to turn and target the quartet. Snow and Lemon catch and support Wendy to help her to her feet, while Rain cuts the rope down. They all look towards their enemy, who is looking to launch some kind of projectiles towards them. They manage to dodge them quite easily, suggesting that this enemy - despite being technically a boss - might actually be a surprisingly easy foe, provided it doesn't catch any unfortunate Nymph by surprise. The slimy goo hits a rock between the four, and from the way it looks, they can tell that it's super thick and sticky and probably heavy as well.


"It must use that to immobilize its targets", Lemon says. "Let's try to get out of its line of sight quickly."


"Not so quickly that Wendy triggers another primitive trap", Rain says, still making fun of her friend.


"I swear to god…" Wendy whispers, still angry.


After avoiding two more fat loads of goo, they finally feel like they're safe from their enemy. Despite their haste, they did a good job avoiding possible traps. Then again, there luckily wasn't anything between them and safety. They can let out a sigh of relief knowing that the slug won't watch up to them.


To continue their lucky streak, they actually manage to find another primitive snare laying on the ground, ready to be activated. The heavy concentration of traps set up by Beastmen suggests that they indeed are on the right trail and perhaps even close to their settlement. Snow, who has an elementary understanding of how to use the positioning of these traps to figure out where Beastman's hunt trail goes, uses her knowledge to guess where the third one is. From there, they can all understand how to work from here. Although their hunt progresses slowly, they know it's only a matter of time before they find the Beastmen's encampment.



The trail of traps leads them away from the path they initially took towards the edges of the cavern, and there they find it; a small village of treehouses and huts amid trees and bushes. Surely enough, there are lookouts on guard as well. In fact, there are five of them.


"If they can afford to have five lookouts, they must have quite a team raping our friends as well", Lemon speculates, turning towards Snow. "Or what do you think?"


"I think you're right. They absolutely love ganging up on us Nymphs and overwhelm us with numbers." Then, she stays silent for a moment as she tries to make a couple of more observations. "My gut tells me that there are anywhere from twenty to thirty of them in this village."


"Are you sure that's not too many…?" Rain asks, a little scared.


"As long as WE make the first move, no."


"I'm not even sure that the first move is enough", Wendy says. "We must execute our attack perfectly."


"So, what's the plan?" Rain asks. "Lure them out?"


"Exactly", Wendy says. "If we rush in, we're fucked." She turns her head towards a hilltop a little more towards the edge of the cavern. "That might be a good place", she suggests. "It gives us the high ground, and from the looks of it also offers a couple of nice places for an ambush."


"Let's go scout the area", Lemon suggests.


As much as it pains them to keep their friends waiting, they start to plan out their attack down to the tiniest of details. Just like they suspected, the place Wendy spotted really is a perfect place for the attack. In addition to the reasons mentioned by Wendy, it also lacks traps and monsters that could hinder them. They debate and discuss the contents of their plan for a couple more minutes before they all go to their designated positions. Lemon is all the way to the back with Snow, both of whom have a full view of the battlefield, while Rain and Wendy lay in ambush, ready to execute anyone who takes the bait and rushes towards the two Nymphs standing in wait. From here on out, until they all have been spotted, they will only communicate through hand gestures.


Lemon has climbed into a tree and has the unenviable task of luring the enemy out. What makes her task so hard is the fact that she has to kill as many enemies as possible without actually being seen herself. In the best-case scenario, she can kill all the lookouts, but that's extremely unlikely, so she puts her goal into two or maybe even three. The tree she sits on is not the best one for the job either, but depending on her first target and luck, she can hide away from the enemy's sight well regardless.


So, she draws her bow to the limit and takes aim. Benefiting from her stealthy surprise attack and from a height-bonus for increased damage, she's sure she will kill any lookout in one shot, provided she hits her target. Sure enough, a targeted shot to the head takes out one.


While Lemon takes cover to hide from the prying eyes, Snow observes the village from hiding. As expected, the enemy is immediately on high alert, with a lot of Beastmen actively scrambling to find their weapons. They can't figure out where the attack came from, so Snow gives Lemon the signal to enter the enemy's line of sight again to shoot again. Once again, Lemon assassinates one lookout successfully. This time though, the enemy has figured out where the Nymphs are. Snow signals this to her allies, telling everyone to prepare for melee. She herself takes the opportunity to summon some minions to help with the fighting. She kind of has to save strengthening her minions and allies to the very last seconds; otherwise, the spells would run out too soon.


There's more than just the lookouts coming their way. From the looks of it, more than half the village rushes at them, way more than the Nymphs anticipated. They all seem to be melee fighters with additional ranged weaponry as a backup, as is typical for Beastmen. They still don't know the exact location of the Nymphs, but their hunch seems to be good since they're heading straight towards the team. What's more, they scatter in the hopes of encircling the team, a move which might prove problematic for Rain and Wendy, who can't hide from all directions.


Lemon's intuition tells her that she must make one final shot, one that will hopefully agitate the enemy and disrupt their plans. This one does not manage to take out the enemy instantly, but it does have the desired effect, at least partially. Having been spotted properly, most of the enemies are heading straight towards her. Some are still cautious and keeping their distance, perhaps even trying to set up an ambush of their own, but overall, everything is still going according to their plan.


As soon as the first couple of enemies enter the battlefield, Rain and Wendy reveal their positions. Wendy, along with the summoned minions, works to defend Snow and Lemon, who in turn put all their efforts into helping out their only melee, and the person who arguably has the most challenging task tanking a swarm of enemies.


Rain manages to catch the first enemy she targets off guard and executes it brilliantly. The next four enemies all target the closest enemy to them, to which Rain responds with imprudence and reckless abandon. Following a successful dodge, she charges into the swarm of enemies, taking one shot at the enemy. It fails to take him out and leaves her surrounded. She's still fast enough to dodge and keep herself safe, and Lemon's cover from above manages to catch an enemy off guard. Despite having the advantage in numbers, the enemy is unable to do anything. Their morale shatters as they realize they made a bad move trying to take out the Nymphs on the battlefield they choose.


Every enemy that charged in to attack Lemon is defeated, and all that is left are the ones trying to catch Rain and the ones who are still waiting in the back, ready to attack or trying to encircle the team. As soon as Rain gets some welcome assistance in her difficult battle, the enemy begins to retreat towards the village.


"After them!" Wendy commands. "Take out as many as you can before they force the battle to the village!"


They all know that it can't happen. If too many enemies are on the defensive inside their own village, the fight instantly becomes harder. At this point, Snow's minions are rather useless, so she calls them back to restore a portion of the mana used to summon them, and focuses the rest of her efforts on strengthening her allies. The three others, on the other hand, go on offense to attack the retreating enemy. Four of them make it back, while three Beastmen still try to take down the Nymphs. They all fail.


And so begins the next stage of the battle. Half of the enemy forces were just wiped out, and the four Nymphs barely broke a sweat. The enemy will not make the same mistake again, so the battle is forced into the village.


It might sound strange of the four Nymphs to do the very thing Beastmen failed in doing and rush the village, but they think it's a risk worth taking for them. The enemy is still caught off guard, and the longer they wait to attack, the more time the enemy has to prepare. Lemon uses her wings to quickly maneuver herself on another tree branch from where she can see inside the village very well. As expected, some of them are barely armed. She takes quick aim and gives a signal to her allies. "It's safe to charge, but be careful!"


Rain charges in, and to say that she's careful is a dirty lie. She takes the fight straight to her enemy's face, not even caring about being outnumbered. She takes out one quickly, and in a flank between two huts, she faces a wall of three Beastmen stopping her from advancing. They successfully push her back and manage to block her attacks as well, but the concentrated defense on one spot allows Wendy to approach from another angle. Once again, enemies start to fall, and the picture begins to clear up as they do. The Nymphs can count the remaining enemies with their fingers, and the victory is all but guaranteed.


Beastmen start to fight dirty in desperation. They take their poison bottles and ditch their melee weapons in favor of ranged and thrown weapons. They do their best to try and gain distance, using a cloud of poisonous spores as a shield against Rain. She closes her mouth and picks her nose as soon as she sees the fumes scatter from the broken bottle and retreats quickly as well. There's no way she's going to try to actually fight in the middle of that cloud. In the end, it doesn't seem to matter anyway because the team has two ranged attackers, and Rain can just attack other enemies anyway. Soon, none are left.


"Forget about perfect execution", Wendy says, grinning from ear to ear. "That went better than planned!"


"Dude, this loot is going to be wicked!" Rain says with a sparkle in her eyes. "We should do this more often!"


"I don't want to underplay our skill or anything, but we were lucky as well", Wendy says, trying to reel Rain back a little.


"Yeah, I'd rather not risk becoming a sex slave for the sake of loot when there are easier ways to acquire it", Snow adds, walking towards the cage in the middle of town. Inside, she sees three familiar figures. "Speaking of sex slaves, we successfully liberated three of them."


Lemon, who was the farthest away just a moment ago, is late to the party but the first one inside the cage, and the look on her face mirrors nothing but worry for her brethren. "Jesus, those Beastmen didn't pull any punches…"


"I reckon those lads didn't pull out much at all", Rain says jokingly, walking up to Pink, who lies still with her butt still sticking in the air. Rain finds herself taken aback by the silly smile drawn on Pinks's face and a trail of drool that has rolled down her jaw. "You okay?"


"No… No more dicks… Please…"


"Come on, babe", Rain says. "You're safe now."


"What took you so long…?" Angel asks, still laying on her back, borderline motionless.


"Yeah, sorry about that", Wendy says, scratching her cheek. "We knew you were being brutally raped, but uh… We couldn't just rush in, you know…"


Snow's attention is almost entirely occupied by Crystal. "Do you think you can walk?" Crystal responds by shaking her head slowly. "Can you even stand?"


"Not for a while…" Crystal responds and cracks a shy smile. She looks a little exhausted, so that smile - while kind and full of gratitude - does not seem that convincing. "Thanks…"


Snow blushes a little and whispers, "You seem okay…"


"O-oh…" Crystal herself is still blushing like crazy. "I… I guess I am okay… Goblins made me do worse stuff for days, so this much is nothing…"


Snow tilts her head and tries to smile herself. "I think I can actually empathize with that…"


Lemon immediately reaches into her inventory full of relief and medicine. "Snow already told me that Beastmen only use kinds of poison that can be dispelled with remedies. It will help you regain your strength faster."


"Thanks a bunch…" Angel responds, sitting up.


"Rain and Wendy, you do the looting", Lemon suggests. "I'll stay here with Snow to take care of them."


"I'll go check the enemies outside the village", Wendy decides, leaving Rain to loot the enemies in the village. "Don't forget to look for containers."


"I'll track them down, but let's save them for later", Rain says. "The treasure chests aren't going to run away."


And so, the team, bruised and battered as they may be, is reunited after the setback they suffered. Despite being apart for less than an hour, they talk almost as if they haven't met each other in weeks. All of them got really worried because the last time something like this happened to them, the results were much more devastating. Was it due to luck, their increase in strength, the lack of difficulty in these zones, or simply for the fact that they stayed cool for the duration of the mission and never panicked? They're not sure, but they couldn't be happier to be united once more.







Arrival

Excerpt from the Gamer's Logbook; "Exploring the Mechanics of Nymphsaga", entry number ???, "On physical attributes."


Physical attacks are the primary method of dealing damage for most Soldiers, Rangers, and enemies, and are even accessible to some Casters both directly and indirectly through Summoning. Needless to say, it's the most commonly encountered form of damage in Nymphsaga, but that doesn't necessarily mean that all physical damage is equal. Different types of physical damages can be divided into three different attributes, depending on what kind of weapons or abilities the attacker is using. These attributes are "Slash", "Smash", and "Pierce". Each come with different advantages and disadvantages.


Slashing damage is mainly linked with blades and claws but can be used with almost any edged weaponry. These sweeping strikes cause additional damage over time through bleeding and rend the opponent's flesh, working effectively against plant-based organisms, tentacles, and softer flesh tissue in general. Against Nymphs slashing attacks are primarily used as means of stripping them, but as a tradeoff, Nymphs are resistant to pain caused by such attacks and straight-up immune to bleeding. Generally speaking, slashing attacks are fairly easy to use and don't require a whole lot of strength, which makes them very accessible for physically weak Nymphs.


Smashing damage is linked with blunt weapons and unarmed abilities. The amount of damage is directly linked with the strength and weight of the weapon used, which means that slower and heavier weapons deal more damage. Out of all weapons, the blunt weapons work the best against larger humanoids and beasts, as well as armored foes. They are also the go-to method for enemies to tire out Nymphs, who are fairly vulnerable against such attacks and feel the most pain from them. Blunt weapons and abilities are fairly uncommon amongst Soldiers since to use them effectively, strength is needed, and the only reliable method of gaining enough strength is to pick the correct talent. Blunt physical damage is highly accessible for both summoners and those specializing in earth magic, though.


And finally, piercing damage is typically linked with projectiles and short blades such as daggers, which are used for stabbing. Piercing attacks rely greatly on speed and the element of surprise to strike the enemy's weak point. They do not have an obvious advantage as far as types of enemies go, and instead have the benefit of often being able to attack from a distance. They are rarely used by enemies due to their ineffectiveness against Nymphs - pretty much only advanced humanoids use them regularly - but they typically deal a lot of damage against Nymphs, making such attacks dangerous. Amongst Nymphs, piercing damage is very popular; they even have a whole class dedicated to this type of damage. Piercing damage is very accessible and easy to use overall.


Many weapons can also deal two different damage-attributes simultaneously, like axes and spears. They both deal slashing damage but also have both blunt and piercing attributes respectively. While deadly and effective, these examples are generally harder to use though, and sometimes may not even have the advantages of both attributes. To use axes as an example again, they're used almost exclusively as blunt weapons, making the slashing attribute often obsolete even against some of the enemies weak to it.


Understanding what kind of physical attribute works best against each and every enemy is critical for Nymphs to avoid getting into trouble and to decide which kinds of tactics, weapons, and abilities to use. It is not recommended for a purely physical Nymph to simply rely on one attribute; they should all be able to use at least two. Either that, or rely on magical damage for extra benefits.



Even though none of the enemies were high ranking, the group of seven Nymphs got a really respectable haul of loot. Sure, most of the items were low-ranking reagents, and sure, clothes were low-tier as well, but where they failed in terms of rarity and stats, they succeeded in terms of usefulness and cuteness. Angel, for example, was thrilled to receive a piece of equipment she's been meaning to purchase for a while but never had an opportunity to; a cute little pruning knife to assist her in the garden. Besides, all of the Beastmen, along with the two chests found in the village, dropped money. In fact, one of the chests had nothing but gold in there, meaning that all of them found themselves a little richer at the end of the day.


Having taken the village for themselves, they weren't in a hurry to leave. They could probably stay a night there as well because wild beasts and monsters don't tend to go close to villages unless they're clearly deserted. Even still, due to the relatively short journey they have in front of them, they're planning on completing the journey before the dark and not stay. It takes them about an hour to collect themselves, after which they begin the last remaining stretch of their journey.


They're lucky to escape the caverns without attracting any attention from potential enemies. They don't get off so easily in the Sparkling Forest, but the enemies there are nothing they can't handle. Even with half of the team basically out of commission, they still have no trouble rushing through the area relatively safely. Goes to show that their "a group of four" training sessions were helpful after all!


After walking through two checkpoints, Snow and Crystal recognize the part of the forest they're in and promise that the rest of the journey will be safe and uneventful. Surely enough, they are correct. It has to be said though, that the last few miles they have to walk feel the longest because not only are they all spent, but Paradise is actually located in the absolute farthest corner of the Sparkling Forest.


Walking through the forest, they have to say that the area is quite different from Misty Forest that surrounds Grove. Three of the most noticeable distinctions are, without a doubt, the color scheme, differences in elevation, and the abundance of water. While the color palette of the Misty Forest is dark to the point of being a little gloomy, even unnatural, Sparkling Forest is bright and full of color. In addition to the typical green leaves, there are some blue, purple, and pink ones around as well, so it certainly feels like a fantasy forest you'd find fairies living in. Hills and little cliffs make the area a little hard to navigate, but there are very few natural barriers beyond that. Most of the water flowing through the forest comes from the north around where Paradise is, and streams are plentiful. As is the case with cliffs and hills, none are too wide or deep to be crossed. Not even the wildest rapids are too strong to hinder the little travelers.


Like Misty Forest, Sparkling Forest is neighbored by four zones, one to each direction. As we know, Hammercliff Valley is located to the south, and I will not explain this fact further. To the east lies what local Nymphs have nicknamed the "Mushroom Kingdom". This forest is abundant with many kinds of mushrooms, some of which grow to be as tall as the trees. Of all the zones close to Paradise, this is the safest, thanks to its relatively easy accessibility and difficulty level.


What lies to the west is a highly dangerous zone, the "Forest of Insects". Not only is this zone a pain to navigate, but it's also a zone that Nymphs have to worry about even in Paradise, all because of Coneflies. Like goblins, Coneflies have their own base of operations, and they tend to hunt even in the neighboring zones. Since Paradise doesn't have a barrier, sometimes Coneflies can even raid the village. As rare as these events may be, they are a huge problem and an annoyance for Nymphs, especially since sweeping hordes of Coneflies can be dangerous. Anyway, this zone is where their nest lies, smack bang in the center of the zone. This cone-shaped tall brown pyramid can be seen from far away, so everyone knows its exact location. Nobody really knows exactly how difficult it would be to exterminate the Coneflies living there, and honestly, it's not something they plan on finding out because the residents of Paradise have known for a long time about the fact that Nymphs just reincarnate after a while. The forest itself is pretty dark and dangerous to travel, and Coneflies are not the only insects found there by a long shot. All manners of bugs and worms roam the zone.


Finally, to the north lies what locals call the "Corrupted Forest", and it's a forest that has been almost entirely overtaken by tentacle demons that grow from the ground. What makes this place unique relative to every zone that Nymphs from Grove or Paradise have discovered is its close proximity to Paradise. It can even be said that Paradise does not simply exist in the Sparkling Forest, but it also directly borders the Corrupted Forest. They're separated by a long and steep mountain chain which makes accessibility currently possible only through the Forest of Insects and the Mushroom Kingdom, which is an overwhelmingly positive thing due to this zone's ridiculous difficulty level. Luckily, this forest doesn't bleed into the neighboring zones, which means that those living in Paradise are always safe from its tendrils. Still, knowledge about the hell that exists only a mile away from their city center keeps many of them awake at night.


This brings us to Paradise itself, which has already been described once. Surrounded by a natural barrier of cliffs few beasts even dare to cross, the town has only three real entrances, one of which is rarely used because of its secluded location. Another one serves as a shortcut to the Mushroom Kingdom. The most commonly used one lies hidden between two mountain cliffs, which locals call "the Dandelion Pass" because… Well, there are a lot of dandelions growing there. Shocking, I know. From there, visitors and locals alike are greeted by greenery similar to that you might find in Grove. There are no giant trees, and the forest is more tightly packed, but the place is just as green and lush with flowers. These are the Paradise outskirts, which take about three-fourths of Paradise's overall surface area while only housing less than ten percent of its population.


"I'm so glad to be here…" Crystal says and exhales deeply, with a smile on her face. "It's been so long…"


"So, it's true, huh…?" Angel comments, looking around. "No barriers, no nothing…"


"Yeah, it's a pity", Snow admits. "As much as I like this place, I kind of envy you girls for having a safer home…"


"Alright, I think you two can take the lead from here", Wendy suggests. "Where should we go first?"


Crystal thinks for a moment. "I was thinking that I should REALLY go home get some rest, but… I think there's something more important for us to do…"


Snow nods deeply, almost as if she read exactly what Snow was thinking. "We've got some doors to knock on."


Lemon injects herself into the conversation. "Do you want us to come with you, or…?"


"Yeah", Snow says. "You girls should definitely get to know each other. Besides, we should get some rest."


"No sightseeing?" Rain asks, tilting her head.


"Come on, it's almost nighttime", Wendy says.


Rain sighs and reluctantly accepts. "Alright then. Let's save sightseeing and studying for tomorrow."


And then, after walking merely a few steps in the forest, they come across a duo of Nymphs discussing something under a large oak. As soon as their eyes meet, the eyes of these two Nymphs open up in surprise and worry. One of them walks up to the team, ready to talk.


"Oh my, what happened to your clothes?"


"Trouble with Webworms and Beastmen", Wendy calmly explains.


"Did you all make it back?"


"Well, not back per se…" Wendy begins. "Most of us are from Grove."


"Oh, right! Of course!" the Nymph responds, with a happy smile on her face. She's a brown-skinned little girl with middle-eastern facial complexion, and her long purple hair is straightened out, except for curly little twists at the ends of her hair. Her captivating eyes are colored with a bright shade of gold. She's very human-like and relatively tall for a Nymph, and her chest and hips are also exceptionally mature, for a Nymph anyway. She doesn't have a whole lot of clothes since a skimpy yet slightly baggy sundress is all she needs. "That explains why I haven't seen any of you girls around!"


"She and I are actually locals", Snow says, pointing at herself and Crystal, "but I guess we haven't met yet."


"So good to see you. I'm Ana." She would offer a handshake, but there are too many hands to shake, so she settles for a wink and a cute peace sign. "My friend's a little shy, but her name is Panda."


"I'm not shy", Panda replies. "I'm just embarrassed to look because they're naked…"


Panda's a pale-skinned girl with long, jet-back hair and a pair of oversized perfectly round glasses, and a facial complexion belonging to an east-Asian girl. Like is the case with Rain, her cheeks are mottled with freckles. Overall, she's very tiny, and her clothing is surprisingly modest. She's got overalls made from jeans cloth, but instead of having one with legs, she's got one with a skirt instead. Underneath, she's got a white T-shirt, and her stockings and white shoes cover up her skin perfectly, making her just about the most modest girl the Nymphs have seen in a long while.


"Now that you mention it, we should probably cover up a little…" Lemon says and takes a look at her own naked body. "We might be safe with allies here, but I'm not too comfortable with walking around the town like this…"


"Is it really that big of a deal?" Rain asks. "We never really got into trouble walking around naked in Grove."


"It's a little bit different here", Crystal explains. "You'll be running to way more people once you get closer to the city."


"Oh, I've got an idea!" Ana suddenly says. "You girls probably need a roof over your head! I've got plenty of room if you want!"


Pink is the first one whose eyes meet with Ana's. "I-I really appreciate the offer, but…"


That's when Ana comes to Pink and takes her by her hands, shaking them both simultaneously. "It's fine, it's fine! It's absolutely not a bother!" Pink kind of looks like she's ready to reject Ana, but talkative and hyper as she appears to be, she just won't stay quiet. "I actually specialize in restorative services! I've got a lot of cuddly little pets who offer carnal remedies for Nymphs who have gotten into pinch in the wild!" Pink starts to stutter, and she blushes at what she's hearing, but she still can't get a word in. "I can tell from the look on your face, you got yourself into a bit of trouble, didn't you? So, how does it sound?"


"I don't think I'm ready for that…" Pink replies meekly.


"I… I really appreciate the offer, but we kind of already have roofs over our heads", Crystal explains.


"Awww, really? I can still tell you where I live so you can come visit if you want to! I'm awake through the nights, and ready to lend out my services for free anytime! My pets are also happy to inject their remedies.."


Panda suddenly gives a little playful knock on Ana's head, interrupting her lewd talks. "Knock it out already, you big pervert. They clearly don't want to be fucked by your tentacles."


"Oww… Don't say that… You never know…"


"I'm so sorry for my creep of a partner", Panda says, bowing her head. "She lacks common sense and thinks that everyone here shares her tentacle fetish."


"Don't be sorry", Lemon says, giggling and laughing. "We don't mind at all."


"Nah, but seriously", Crystal says, arms crossed. "We've already got ourselves covered."


"I mean, getting to know some locals doesn't hurt", Rain says and walks up to Ana, opening up her map. "You're an enchanter, right?"


"Yes, that's absolutely right!"


"Cool, me too. Mark your home for me so we can be pals."


"Oh, do you wanna get fucked by my - "


"No", Rain replies very strictly.


"O-okay, that's fine", Ana says, letting out a laugh. She happily marks the map for Rain. "Well, now you know where to find me."


"Let's move", Snow suggests. "Let's go check on Polly first."


And so, the seven Nymphs continue walking up towards the city.



Polly is a girl who lives on the outskirts of "Paradise proper". It's relatively close to the central, but there aren't many houses where she lives. As soon as the Nymphs get there, they are very disappointed to find out that there's no reply from the house. Polly's neighbor, who happens to be tending to her garden, only makes matters worse by saying that she hasn't seen Polly in over a week and that she's super worried that something might've happened to her. She's relieved to see Snow and Crystal though, both of whom she recognizes but doesn't know the name of. After a brief chat and an explanation about what happened to Snow's and Crystal's team and about what they think has happened to Polly, her neighbor lets out a deep sigh.


"I kind of knew that already", she says. "I just didn't want to accept it. Thanks for telling me."


She also decides to loan all seven Nymphs her wardrobe so they can fix their clothes. Then, they continue their search, this time deciding to knock on the door of the girl who lives basically next door, Trisha. She lives in a tiny thatched cottage surrounded by a cute and colorful garden. They feel incredibly hopeful from the very beginning because they can see the lights on. Snow and Crystal basically run to the door and knock on it together. To much of their delight, the door is opened by Trisha, who cannot believe her eyes.


"It's you two!" she yells with eyes wide-open. "Wait, what about Polly!? What about Hina!?"


The question instantly confirms two things for the team: Hina is still missing as well, but at least Bell is safe with Trisha. "I'm sorry, but we have no idea about those two…" Snow replies.


"What about you?" Crystal asks, leaning in for a hug, which Trisha gladly accepts. "Are you and Bell safe?"


Trisha nods her head happily, with tears welling up in her eyes. "We got back here safely, but… We were so worried because you never came back…"


"Yeah, I thought I was going in the right direction, but I guess I got lost…" Snow says. "And then I got caught by tentacles…"


"Meanwhile, goblins got me…" Crystal says.


"Oh, that's right", Trisha says, realizing something. "I've heard talk and rumors about that Grove place. Were you there as well?"


"Yeah, they basically saved a whole lot of us Paradise Nymphs from goblins. I've been living there for a while together with Snow."


Trisha glances over her friend's shoulder to see a group of five Nymphs, who are curiously watching the happy reuniting from a distance. "You've got some new friends, I see."


"Yeah", Snow says. "They were kind enough to help us get here."


"I guess a friend of my friend is my friend as well", Trisha says and walks up to the five Nymphs. "Thank you so much for all you have done."


"Oh, don't sweat it", Wendy says, smiling. "We all benefit from this."


"That's right", Rain continues. "We may only be individuals, but residents from both Grove and Paradise could really benefit from befriending with each other."


"You've got that right", Trisha says, giggling. "The world beyond the mountains is a lonely place for girls like us…"


"Let's go meet Bell next", Crystal says.


"Yeah, let's. She misses you two a lot."



Bell lives practically next door as well. Her house, which is very similar to the one Trisha has, is located in a more secluded area a little bit farther away from the central, just the way she likes it. Instead of a garden, she has a small blacksmithing workshop outside paired with a well. She's a craftsman and supposedly works with metal in the real world, so it's basically a perfect profession for her. She's just as happy to see her old friends as Trisha was, if not even a little bit happier. She expresses her joy by embracing her friends while crying a whole lot, but those tears don't last for very long.


Both Trisha and Bell are human-like, both of them are of average size, and both of them have pale skin. That's where their similarities end, for the most part anyway.


Trisha is the little more ravishing one of these two. She's a blue-eyed little princess with long hair colored in some shade of silver or blonde, tied together with a simple elastic band. She prefers to keep it high and as tidy as possible. Out of all the Nymphs introduced in the story so far, she has the most jewelry and "bling", if I may use that word. She's got diamonds on her ears, gold on her neck, a fabulous set of rings, and even shiny rocks studded on her belt. As for her clothes, she's gone all out on white and pink. Her frilly sleeveless dress has a lot of lace, and her striped over-knee socks leave only a tiny gap of skin visible. If you manage to catch a glimpse of her silky white panties, you will find out that they're lacy as well.


She's a caster who utilizes the elements to her advantage. Her favorite is Earth - which she has a tier four Spell Crystal of - but she has no preference regarding what she pairs it with. Yes, she has picked Dual Slots as her first talent of choice. She has two runes she's swapping depending on the needs, out of which one is pure Nature, and the other one is a Water/Fire split. She usually uses the latter because their team never really needed a backup healer, with Snow able to do just that. Being extremely good at aiming, she's very good on the battlefield, provided she herself doesn't attract attention and likes to use runes to her advantage. She always gets flustered and panics when enemies target her and can't really focus on offense and defense at the same time. Her profession of choice is Cooking, as evident by her well-maintained garden. As far as her real-life personality goes, she doesn't like talking too much about it. She has admitted to being a female university student from Staten Island in New York, but other than that, she hasn't shared much.


There's not much to say about Bell as far as her appearance goes because she's purposefully very plain. She's a brunette with long and straight hair and big, curious chocolate-brown eyes. She prefers to cover up her legs with dark jeans, and even her white-shirt and the black-hoodie combo is plain. The only thing that truly makes her stand out is her modesty. Overall, she wouldn't look out of place in an elementary school classroom.


She's a fighter who specializes in stealth combat and assassination. Basically, she's to melee what Lemon is to rangers, a heavy hitter who prefers to strike from shadows and eliminate her opponents in one or two quick hits. Her weapons of choice are a pair of daggers. It's also worth noting that she rarely wears her jeans when going on an adventure and prefers to use camouflage shorts that are easier to move in. Sure, she could wear these clothes all the time, but she doesn't like to. It's simply a personal preference of hers. Inside her head, she hides a personality that you wouldn't expect just by looking at her. At first glance, she's a shy, introverted girl who communicates primarily with giggles, smiles, and occasional soft-spoken words. Still, once she gets going and she's comfortable with her company, she gets very bold and talkative. In real life, he's a man in his late twenties born and raised in Toledo, Spain.


Bell's house isn't really spacious, and it's only good for sleeping, but since she is a blacksmith, she operates her own store to display her skills and sell her craft. Embarrassed at having everyone look at her completed products, she just stands still quietly with eyes firmly facing her feet.


"Wow, you've gotten better!" Crystal loudly states.


"Y-yeah, I mean… The way they come out is partially randomized and depends on my skill level, but it's not like I can't pimp them out with my own hands…"


"Oh, yeah, I can do that with clothes as well!" Pink says. "I can even manipulate stats and make it so that bad ones cannot appear."


"Y-yes, it's so great!" Bell says and giggles. "Oh, what was your name again…?"


"Oh, come on, I have the most obvious name of us all!" Pink says and laughs out loud.


"S-sorry, Pink… I'm not good with names…" Bell admits. The truth is that all the introductions are already past them, but it's still a little difficult for her.


"Still, I must say that this day has been really fucking exhausting…" Snow says, yawning. "I'm just dying to get home and catch some sleep."


"Yeah, I really want to just talk to you girls about everything, but if you're too tired, it has to wait", Trisha says. "But where will you all sleep?"


"Well, the least we can do is house some of them…" Bell says, blushing a little again. "My bed is small, but I'm sure one of you can sleep with me…"


"Okay, so the question is about how we divide ourselves…" Trisha says and eyes all the Nymphs. She especially takes a long, hard look at Crystal, who she recognizes to be in bad shape. "Honestly, I saw it in you when I first saw you, but you don't really look okay…"


"Well, I got fucked hard on the way here", Crystal says, shrugging.


Trisha leans in closer and whispers something to Crystal, making sure that others don't hear. "So, you're pregnant, right…?" As soon as Crystal nods, Trisha continues: "Let me take care of you…"


"You know", Rain says, arms crossed. "We can't hear you, but we can totally tell what's going on."


"Shush, you pervert", Crystal says and glares daggers through Rain. The smirk on the corner of her blushing lips proves that she's not taking it too seriously though. "Yeah, okay. I'll sleep with Trisha. Some of you girls from Grove can loan my house. Oh, and Snow. Your house is the largest one, right?"


"Yeah, I can probably house two. It doesn't matter who."


"Well, I don't think it matters much to any of us, to be honest", Wendy says and shrugs. She summons up a box of colored drawing straws, a piece of common collectibles she happened to find randomly on one adventure. "Let's do a fair roll then. We'll have one red straw, two yellow straws, and two blue straws. Bell houses the red straw, Snow houses the yellow straws, and the blue straws go sleep in Crystal's apartment. How does that sound?"


"Yeah, why not", Lemon says and observes Wendy bunch up the straws into her fist. Of course, the odd end of the straw is not colorized, so you can't see what color each one is. As soon as the game is set, she picks hers, and the remaining unhoused Nymphs follow suit. It immediately becomes apparent who will house whom; Bell will house Angel, Snow will house Wendy and Rain, and Lemon and Pink will stay in Crystal's house.


"Well, that was easy", Wendy says. "Should we split up immediately?"


Trisha nods, although begrudgingly. "I'm sure we would all love to chat, but if you're too tired, it can't be helped."


"We have more than enough time for that tomorrow", Lemon says.


"Don't forget sightseeing", Rain adds.


With that, the group splits up into three, but not before they all share some goodbyes, wishes for a good night, hugs, and even some playful teasing. They make no plans for the next day, but that's alright. They can always worry about it later.


Angel and Bell are left behind, but to be honest, they don't really know each other at all yet. All they've really done is introduce themselves to each other very briefly, but they haven't even talked past that. Now they're alone, and their shyness won't let either of them talk. They just look at each other almost like a pair of unfortunate youngsters forced to go on a blind date. The fact that Angel is a little horny is not helping the situation at all.


They both start to talk simultaneously, starting with different kinds of lines, and both of them immediately stop to wait for the other one to talk. Once again, they talk on top of each other, making them giggle and smile a little. After the third awkward moment, neither of them can help but to laugh out loud.


"Angel, was it? Let's get inside, okay? Make yourself feel at home."


"Thank you, and sorry for the bother…"


"Oh no, it's not a bother at all."


As Angel takes her first steps into the cozy little house, she takes a long look at Bell. "I would feel bad about just mooching off without doing anything, so… Is there something I can do for you in return, like cook?"


"Maybe for breakfast", Bell says and makes slight physical contact by touching Angel's shoulder. "You're clearly tired and weary. It's all over your face and your body, so just lay down and get some rest."


Well, I wasn't really hungry, so I guess that's fine. Angel sits down, and as soon as her butt meets the edge of the bed, she just can't resist but to lean back and relax her head on the sheets as well. The bed was kind of messy - in a very comfortable way - and more than ready for sleeping. Since she's not used to sleeping in someone else's bed, the first thing she notices is that it smells different in a pleasant way.


Then it hits her suddenly like a comet; she sleeps naked all the time. She's so used to sleeping naked that she doesn't even own a pair of clothing that is comfortable to sleep in. Her dress and all of her spare clothes are bad for that. She was blushing already, but now the embarrassment and distress are written all over her face as a nervous smirk. Bell, who was in a bathroom doing something for a moment, sees Angel's condition and face for what they are, and to say that she looks confused and surprised is an understatement.


"So… What's up with that look?" Bell asks, slowly and softly.


"This is very embarrassing, but I just realized that I don't really have pajamas or anything of sorts…"


"Well, I don't think I have any either…" Bell whispers, with her hand rubbing her jawline. Based on the look on her face, it seems to hit her as well. "I mean…" she begins, stuttering slightly. "I guess we'll manage…"


"The bed kind of is on a smaller scale though…" Angel says, scratching her cheek. "I mean, I really, really don't want to sound like complaining or anything, especially with you taking care of me and all…"


"No, no, I totally understand", Bell says, trying to smile and laugh it off. "It's not comfortable sleeping naked with a stranger. But hey, there's a good fix for that!"


Angel tilts her head in confusion.


"We just have to befriend each other and make sure we won't be embarrassed by such minor details like nudity!"


Angel bursts out laughing. "Alright, alright… Let's try our best to be as good friends as possible."


"I also want to address one other thing", Bell says, sitting next to Angel, and closes in on her face. "Did something happen to you on the trip?"


"O-oh, you noticed…?"


"Well, I already knew that you lot had complications on your trip and kind of assumed you got the short end of the stick in that regard…"


"Spot on", Angel remarks. "It wasn't like my first time or anything, but… It lasted longer, and they even knocked me up…"


"Are you alright then?"


Angel doesn't want to say it outright. How could she? She was already embarrassed about the prospect of having to sleep naked with someone she just met, and now she's expected to say that she's obviously not feeling alright? Fat fucking chance, she tells herself, but only briefly. She quickly realizes that she can't really deny it, with words probably being written all over her face. For Bell to be worried for her, her horniness must be blatantly obvious.


It brings her thoughts to exactly how horny she is. She's been quietly thinking about it for a while, but part of her yearns for some sexy action. She doesn't even care with who. Anyone would be fine. The way she aches down there especially makes her yearn for dick, and she can't believe it. It's not a craving she's ever really felt before, at least not very strongly, but she just can't forget how it felt. Could Bell even work as a substitute for a penis? No, no, wait a minute, could I even dare to ask her of it? I suppose it might be easier to do it with a stranger rather than a close friend of mine, but even then…


"I'm guessing your silence means that you're not alright…" Bell whispers. "Do you want to do something about it…?"


"Are you coming onto me…?" Angel asks, throwing the ball back into Bell's court.


Bell smirks and blushes. "I suppose it really comes down to what you wanna do… Or if you care to have a little walk or not…"


"What do you mean by that…?"


"I'm asking you if you would prefer me, or a little more exotic lover?"


"Don't take this the wrong way, but I think I might just need something rougher than a Nymph…" Angel says, finally admitting her true desires.


"Cool", Bell says and offers her hand to Angel, ready to pull her up to her legs. "I'll show you a nice place that can satisfy you. Don't worry. It's completely and perfectly safe."


Angel is not sure what Bell means, but her gut tells her to follow her to wherever she could take her.



I believe it was mentioned that the group split into three groups, out of which one was left behind. This is because Crystal and Trisha actually had to show Pink and Lemon where Crystal lives before they could go enjoy themselves in Trisha's little shack. Before they leave, Crystal tells Pink and Lemon that they can use and eat anything they want and that she won't ask for anything in return. As Pink is looking to rush inside, she realizes that Lemon is still talking to Crystal about something, but she doesn't think much of it. Instead, she observes the ordinary apartment. It has all the bare necessities but no luxuries.


"This place looks comfy", Lemon comments as she walks in.


"Yeah, I already know I'm gonna sleep like a log", Pink says, "but what did you and Crystal talk about?"


"I just confirmed a couple of things with her", Lemon says and starts slowly undressing, starting with her shoes and socks.


"Mmmm, okay…" Pink says, as she too takes the opportunity to get rid of shoes. "Do you think those two are lovers or something?"


"Oh, Crystal and Trisha? Nah, I don't think so", Lemon guesses out loud. "Wasn't Crystal married in real life or something?"


"Oh, right… Maybe they just missed each other so much they can't help but to get it on…"


"Or maybe it was just about helping Crystal feel better", Lemon says as she watches how Pink continues undressing, moving straight into her shirt. A mischievous thought crosses her mind as she closes in on Pink's exposed back. "Speaking of which…" she whispers as she assaults Pink's chest from behind. Her tiny palms press against Pink's flat chest and cop a firm squeeze.


"W-whoa, what are you doing!?"


"I wanna make you feel good too", Lemon whispers straight into Pink's ear. "Thinking about what those two might be doing to each other got me kind of jealous… I want action too…"


"W-wait, is this really happening…!?"


"Oh, you're not dreaming at all!" Lemon says. "I've been dying to have a taste of you for a while, you know… What better opportunity than right now…?" Lemon then reaches her hand under Pink's skirt, finding a wet spot on her panties on top of her vagina. This makes Pink let out a soft squeal. "I knew it… You're so fucking horny…"


There's only one thought that crosses Pink's mind, and that is Hell yes!. It does make her wonder why Lemon hasn't made a move if she truly wanted to do her so much. Was she waiting for a good excuse to do it? Either way, there really isn't any better opportunity.


"I happen to know a little secret…" Lemon says as she presses her middle finger against the little clitty through the thin, wet cloth. Rubbing it around, having it tugged between two of her fingers as softly as she can, she continues to whisper and breathe straight against Pink's ear. "I know who you had your first lesbian experience with… And it makes me so jealous… I'm so jealous of you for daring to get ahead of me and jealous of you tasting her lips before I ever even had an opportunity to…"


For some reason, Pink doesn't doubt the sincerity in Lemon's words for a moment, but at the same time, she also senses a desire for some roleplay, which is something that she's more than okay with. She wonders, is she looking for an opportunity to dominate her and even dispense some sort of mild punishment on the side? Just to make sure, she decides to test the waters with a little taunt: "I'm sorry for being bad…"


"Oh, so you DO get it…?" Lemon asks, still groping and breathing on Pink's skin. She runs her tongue against Pink's cheek and ends with a light flicker on her earlobe. "I don't think "sorry" is gonna cut it, honey… Naughty little girls such as yourself need to be spanked…"


It's not exactly what I had in mind, Pink tells herself but finds herself getting hornier regardless. She yearns for those fingers to slide into her panties and touch her directly instead, and her legs shake with excitement. Even still, I don't think I could ever say no to being spanked by her.


Lemon has a straightforward task at hand, as far as finishing Pink's undressing goes. Getting rid of her skirt requires her to only pull down one zipper, and even her panties are easy to take off even with just one hand. She decides to leave it at that though, focusing on getting rid of her own dress instead. Pink turns her head and body towards Lemon, and with hands behind her back, she lets Lemon see absolutely everything. She quickly realizes that Lemon is only looking at her with one eye only, as most of her attention is focused on a little drawer close to the bed. Lemon opens it, and her face sparks up with joy as she takes a look at what's inside. Truth is, she secretly had a talk with Crystal and interviewed her about potential toys that she could've hidden in her home. Crystal admitted to owning a couple, including some surprising items, and promised that they're unused as well.


Lemon suddenly glares at Pink with a smug smile on her face. "Why aren't you on the bed already?"


"Ehhh…" Pink doesn't know what to say, but she ends up sitting down at the edge of the bed regardless, kind of waiting for Lemon to give her more commands. That's when she sees a sex toy she wasn't expecting in Lemon's hands, along with some additional fluffy gadgets. "Where did you get those from…?"


"Be quiet and put these on", Lemon commands and shows her a pair of mittens that look exactly like cat's paws. Pink blinks with a surprised, confused smile on her face, accepts these little paws, but that's only the start. "Now, bend over", Lemon commands, pushing her hand down on Pink's shoulder, with the next piece of sexy gear in her other one. Pink follows the order given to her and proceeds to get on her fours, sticking her butt out. With a blush and a lustful smile on her face, she braces for what's about to come.


What Lemon has is a cute and fluffy cat's tail attached to a chain of medium-sized anal beads, and lastly, she's also got a headband complete with cat ears. Giggling playfully, she first puts the ears on Pink, who still doesn't even know how to react to being dressed like the lewd cat girl. Then, she begins teasing Pink by giving her an open palm strike straight to her buttock, and as cute as Pink looks with cat ears, it doesn't even compare to the yelp she lets out. The slap is followed by a tight grab and a round caressing motion, which even allows one of Lemon's fingers to touch the little hole hidden between the cheeks. This also causes Lemon to giggle and comment on it. "What a naughty, unwilling little hole… How am I ever going to be able to stick anything inside it…? It's not even properly lubricated…"


"I… I'm so terribly sorry…" Pink knows she can't do anything about it, so she just ends up apologizing in the spirit of the play.


"Oh, you silly. Cats can't talk!" She ends up laughing even more, clearly having the time of her life. "Cats go meow. Get it?"


Although Pink's starting to get a little embarrassed, she lets a cute and erotic "Meow" roll out from between her lips.


"Good kitty", Lemon compliments and takes a bottle of lubricant out from her inventory. Yes, lubing up is extremely important when proceeding with anal play, especially when dealing with rubber. It's Lemon's own secret recipe too, and since some of the materials used to make it are actually aphrodisiacs, it also works as a stimulant. Pink doesn't know this, but she does undoubtedly feel a trail of warm, squishy liquid roll down her crack and coat her anus. Having already lubed up the first couple of beads, Lemon spreads Pink up nicely, which allows her to push the first out of five beads inside. She does have to apply some serious force to stick it into the hole, which remains ridiculously tight no matter how hard Pink tries to relax her muscles. As soon as it "pops" in, Pink lets out an audible moan, only to breathe in deep as the next one pushes its way in. She's caught in a surprisingly intense loop of ecstasy which exceeds even her wildest imaginations. Oh wow, I had no idea that buttplay alone could feel so damn good…! The way it rubs me inside is amazing…! I think I could even cum with my ass if teased enough…!


Having stuck every single one of the beads in, only the fluffy end is left exposed outside, and Lemon likes what she's seeing. Her heart lights up with joy as she hands out the next set of commands. "Alright, kitty, go ahead and make some noise for me!"


As ordered, Pink prepares to meow some more, but before she manages to even let one full meow out, Lemon's playful palm strike again connects with the cute little butt, morphing this lively little cat noise into something much sexier. It causes Pink to completely lose her footing, and she presses her chest and jaw closer to the bed. She also comes to find out just how hard it is to grab anything with the paws on, and she can't take control of the blanket, let alone sheets, and the slaps aren't even over yet. Lemon keeps slapping and spanking Pink's butt. She's already drenched, and with every slap, she can just feel her cunt twitch and her anus tighten around the plug. Pink's shrill moans fill the room along with occasional "Meows" mixed in between. She doesn't even know if she's doing it on purpose anymore, as sounding like a horny kitty seems to be coming just naturally.


"That's good…!" Lemon says, handing out yet another compliment. "I wanna eat you up…!" She changes her position slightly to get properly behind her little girl toy, and then she presses her thumbs against the puffy lips to pull them apart. From an utterly blind angle, a tongue and a mouth assault Pink's pussy, making her want to move her hips just more. It's the very first direct contact with her genitals, yet she already feels like cumming just because of everything else Lemon has already done to her, and it keeps getting better.


While eating Pink out, Lemon takes hold of the tail on one hand and jerks on it a little. Unable to resist for a second longer, Pink climaxes faster than she's ever cummed before. Granted, she's been teased a lot already, but no Nymph or a dick has ever even come as close as Lemon just did. Lemon, of course, continues to relentlessly push forward throughout the fireworks, wanting to make it just better, but alas, it's over quickly. Where her climax shone in intensity, it lacked in duration. It left Pink sensitive and twitching from head to toes, signaling a desire to experience more and more.


"Who gave you permission to cum…?" Lemon suddenly asks.


"I'm sho shorry, mrr-istress…"


"Oh no, you did it again…" Lemon says, sighing out loud and shrugging. "Looks like you need to be punished some more…" Lemon then reaches back into the little drawer, taking a look at two toys of different sizes. Between a pair of small, egg-shaped vibrators and a vibrating jelly dildo, she can't seem to decide, but then she realizes something; why pick when you can have them all? She also finds a package of band-aids, and yet another mischievous plan crosses her mind. It's not quite as good as tape, but it'll surely do…


Rubbing Pink's body with two of the beans in her hands, Lemon mounts herself on Pink. As little as she may be, her weight is not enough for the tiny Pink to support for too long, especially when she's so horny. It's actually perfect for Lemon, who wants to turn Pink to her back for a moment. She takes this opportunity to steal a couple of hot kisses from Pink's lips but then concentrates on her job of attaching the vibrating beans against Pink's nipples. The band-aids are large enough to stick perfectly to her chest and shouldn't even come off while they vibrate. Pink looks at what's going on as Lemon gives her a good rub on her cheek. "The best is still to come…" Lemon promises and shows the giant, bright green dildo to her. "I know you like to expose your belly, but cats take it from behind…"


And so, Pink assumes battle position once more and gets ready to take as much of the jelly as her pussy can eat up; too bad Lemon isn't so quick to rush forward. She starts by turning the breast vibrators on and then goes forward to test the waters by sticking a finger into Pink's pussy, as deep as she can. She's already wet from inside out, twitching with excitement as her folds envelop around the little finger. Pink herself is already making enough noise to make anyone think she's already being fucked, and she tears up a little as she anxiously awaits something bigger. She wants to beg, but she has a feeling Lemon would just prolong the play if she did. So, instead, she continues to pretend being a cat.


Lemon observes a trail of clear, transparent goodness oozing from inside and determines that she's ready to make Pink cum again. She positions the toy against the lips, dragging it up and down against her quim, only to stop it when it presses firmly against the hole. Pink is already looking to take all of it in by pressing her hip backward, and Lemon can't resist it either. Looking closely, she watches half of the shaft disappear into the tight hole. It's about as much as Pink can take, but that's not a problem for Lemon at all. There's more than enough room for her to jerk it in and out with long, pleasurable strokes. Positioning herself comfortably, Lemon wants to get her face even closer.


Meanwhile, Pink is really starting to get into the mood, as evident by the squishy noise and her own voice. She's in love, and she can't get enough. She's surprised by a touch of a finger against her clit, and both her eyes and mouth open up in pleasure as she feels herself coming even closer to cumming again. It's like every little thing that happens to her is causing a chain reaction intensifying every other sensation. Even her nipples feel like they're on fire. That's when the vibration finally kicks in and fills Pink up with a whole new sensation. She explodes into wild moaning as she reaches her climax, to which Lemon answers by slowing down a little and pushing it harder up against Pink's deepest reaches with every push. It's such a wet and messy orgasm - and a powerful one too - but Lemon cannot allow her to rest or cool down. Not yet, or not as while as there's any energy in her arms to keep going.


About fifteen minutes later, Lemon is thirsty for a change in pace. She ditches the jelly and continues with her own mouth and tongue. Pink takes it on her back, legs spread and shaky from excitement. She knows that whatever happens, she's not going to be able to even stand after it's all said and done. No matter how much Lemon licks and eats her plaything out, it's not getting any drier. Pink just keeps twitching and moaning shyly. As pleasurable as it still feels, she's certainly getting more relaxed and comfortable.


"This is the most fun I've had all week…" Lemon admits and finally stops, lifting her body to an upward position. She's dragging her hip closer to Pink's, and she's got her legs spread properly. "Look, babe… You got me all wet and tingly too…!"


"Meow…"


"I think I wanna end this with a bang…" Lemon says, and she couldn't be more right. She's been playing with Pink for so long that she's really got herself going as well. She did a good job resisting the desire as long as she did, but no more. She knows that if she wants to sleep, she needs to get that flush of pleasure as well. So, she reaches her hand to Pink's chest, removing both of the vibrators. She only needs one going forward. Pressing her pussy down against Pink's, she mounts her properly. She and Pink both lock their eyes, and from underneath the sweat, red cheeks, and pleasure, they both smile at each other. Lemon begins to work her hip, and Pink provides some counter-movement, even though she's already tired and only moving on pure instinct.


Lemon took hold of one vibrator for the simple reason of spicing up the scissoring. She manages to position it perfectly to please both herself and her plaything. It sends her into a fit of pleasure instantly, causing her to moan wildly, but she's not ready to cum quite just yet. She knows that one time will be enough for her, but she wants to edge it out more. Besides, she's not playing with Pink just yet.


"Come on… Won't you hold out a little longer for me…?" Lemon pleads. "I don't think I can take much longer either, but I at least want to cum with you…!"


Pink can make no promises, but she nods regardless. After all, she's got a good feeling that it might be something that's gonna happen regardless, whenever she puts any effort into holding back or not.


And sure enough, they both feel the climax coming, and they both see it in each other as well. Lemon is still being assertive throughout the whole thing, and she still wants to control the situation. She grabs into the tail-plug as she continues to press the bean against the place where their lips connect, and she bursts out moaning loud. Pink, of course, responds with equal excitement and vigor. She also realizes that Lemon is doing something else and feels the beads move out of her. She tightens up with excitement, but not even her contracted muscles can stop the beads from sliding out from her asshole. Her eyes start tearing up again, with drool rolling down her cheek as she continues to cum. It feels like a short eternity, and honestly, she doesn't mind time standing still for a while. All good things come to an end though.


Lemon collapses forward into Pink's embrace as they both hug into each other's slim, sweaty bodies. As their tongues get closer to each other, they share a sloppy kiss. Passionately, they end the night with an unforgettable kiss; it may be a good night's kiss, but you wouldn't believe it just looking at them at the moment. Surely enough though, without a word spoken to each other, they collapse from exhaustion and fall asleep within moments of their eyelids closing. Only the erotic smell of two little children is left in the room as proof of what happened - along with Pink's naughty costume, of course.
