Nora

El

After what had felt like the longest week of her life, she had finally arrived in Pandaria. The land was as beautiful as she imagined. The Jade Forest was more vibrant than the inked illustrations she knew from the books and stories. Towering trees, deep green, stretched towards a sky so impossibly clear blue it seemed painted. But Nora wasn't here on vacation. After years of silence, the shieldmaiden had found another lead on the whereabouts of her long missing sister. She had to be quick, losing another trail could be the difference between life and death for Clare.

Without giving much time for thought, she talked her way through Paw'don Village and managed to hire a pandaren kite to take her to the Timeless Isle, where Clare was allegedly seen. Entering the island, she felt a strange unease settle in her chest. Everything was quiet. It felt separated from the rest of Pandaria and even the Light felt muffled here. As the kite landed, she approached one of the pandaren sentries in a hurry. Sentry "Big Belly" Fong offered a kind wave to Nora as she approached. "Welcome traveler, to the Timeless Isle. I assume you have business with the Celestials, yes?" He hummed, eager to help.

At the same time, a second kite landed just behind Nora, prompting another wave from Fong to the newcomer. "Ah! Miss Moonburst. Welcome back." El Moonburst waves at Sentry "Big Belly" Fong as she lands. "Sir! May I ask you a question? I have come all the way from Stormwind... looking for information on a person and I've had a reliable source tell me she was seen around here." says Nora, panting a little. Sentry "Big Belly" Fong 's warm demeanor darkens a little at Nora's inquiry and breathlessness. He holds up a hand, as though the motion may help calm her.

"Woah woah, slow down, ma'am. You may relax a moment, as time works strangely here. Whether you rush or not, it shall make no difference." Fong said calmly, offering a passing goodbye wave to El as she slid off the kite. "Hello again, Fong. Seems you have your hands full, so I'll check myself in." El hummed, moving towards a nearby ledger. Nora glances at the elf. "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean to be disrespectful, it's just... this person is very important to me and this may be my best chance to catch her." she responds. "I'm Nora." she gives him a light bow.

El Moonburst paused at the mention of the name, sneaking a glance back to the woman, then proceeding to write her name in the ledger as Sentry "Big Belly" Fong spoke once more. He simply chuckled. "It is quite alright. For one that does not understand this island, it is easy to believe time may be of the essence. I assure you, the rest of Azeroth will likely have had seconds or minutes pass while you spend a day or weeks here." He assured her, raising a hand to his chin, Fong pulled at his goatee, pondering.

"We do have many guests to this island, so I apologize if I do not remember everyone who passes though. However, I would be happy to assist in any way I can. Who may you be looking for? What do they look like?" "That's very... convenient." Nora says, her expression calming down. "In that case, would you have a drink I could buy? It wasn't easy getting a kite to fly me here. I could explain better inside, if you allow me." she continued.

Sentry "Big Belly" Fong nods and smiles, motioning to the tent behind him. "But of course. We keep a stock available for travelers such as yourself. We have Fresh Water, Roasted Barley Tea, and Pearl Milk Tea at present." Fong chuckled, noting the irony of the use of the term. "If you wish for something else, there are other vendors more inland." Fong explained as El finished signing in to the ledger. Rather than walk away, El hung back, her curiosity getting the better of her as she too entered the tent and picked up a glass of water. Nora moved inside after him. "Water would be good." she said with a smile.

She watched attentively as the elf near Fong drank her water. Nora was a little curious why she wasn't wearing anything but since nobody in the camp seemed to get bothered by it, she just guessed it was a custom of hers or something of the sort. Seeing as the elf looked back at her, she greeted her a smile and a wave. "Can I sit here?" she asked Fong. El moved to look at the other assorted items in the small store, mostly snack foods.

Now that Nora was getting a closer look, she'd see the scars that peppered El's body, as well as the fact her ears were clipped. She was very naked though, aside from her boots, gloves, cloak, and shoulder pad. Upon seeing Nora's wave, El returned the gesture as she took hold of what seemed like a nature bar. At Nora's response, Sentry "Big Belly" Fong nodded, moving inside to get one of the glasses of water next to El and offered it to Nora, motioning for her to sit on the spot she mentioned. "Of course. Now, please, enlighten me with as many details as you can about this person." El waved at Nora.

Nora promptly sat down on the spot. "So, this important person is my sister. Her name is Clare. She was taken away from home at a very young age by a group of bandits as a hostage, to be used as ransom for money. However, that plan didn't work out for them and from the information I've gathered she was sold as a servant. The last lead I've got is that she's in the hands of a group of pirates and they were seen around the coast of the Jade Forest last month. I can't tell you exactly how she looks now because it's been... many years since I've seen her last, but I imagine she still looks like the sweet girl I remember. She was blonde with eyes just like mine." Nora explains very calmly, with a hint of sorrow in her voice. El shook her head as she heard the name, turning away to keep looking at the assorted foods. The more she heard though, the more curious she would become, her hands now absently poking at the goods while she eavesdropped.

Fong on the other hand, listened intently, stroking his goatee once again as he searched his memory for someone matching Nora's description. "Hmm... Unfortunately, I don't recall seeing anyone of that description. Though, you may wish to ask the Celestials. They have a way of seeing one's soul, as well as their person. Perhaps they can assist you?" Fong hummed, his eyes darting towards El as she dropped a jar of jam on the fl oor, exclaiming "Shoot!" in hushed tones as she quickly bent over to pick it back up and place it on the shelf. Fong chuckled, then spoke to Nora once again. "Sadly, I cannot leave my post, however, Miss Moonburst here has visited this island many times. Perhaps she would be willing to take you before the celestials?" Fong inquired, looking towards El with a nod, which she returned, her gaze jumping over to Nora with a smile. "I'd be happy to help." El hummed, reaching a hand down to Nora which, if taken, would be able to help her off her seat should she so choose. "El Moonburst, at your service. Who might you be?"

Nora takes her offered hand and stands back up. "Thank you, miss El, I'm Nora." She can't help but stare at the elf's uncovered body for a moment. But the Pandaren offering her a glass of water snaps her back to reality. "I'm a shieldmaiden for the Order of the Silver Hand." she complements after taking a sip. "Should we go now or? How does that work?" Nora asked.

El smiles as she helps to lift Nora up, though she notices the woman's eyes wonder. El's mile morphs into a playful smirk as she places her right hand on her hip, whilst jutting her left hip out, striking a little pose until Fong offered the glass of water. "A pleasure to meet you, Nora. I'm a-... monk. No real allegiance to a cause though." El snickered, motioning towards the exit to the tent. "Your call if you're ready to venture inland. Though before we bother the Celestials, I have an idea on how I can maybe help-." El paused, realizing she just gave up the fact she was eavesdropping. Her face went red in embarrassment.

"S-Sorry. I just couldn't help overhearing." Nora giggles, noticing El blush. "Don't worry, miss El. I wasn't trying to be quiet about it either." she comforts her. "Besides, I want to get as much information as I can get, which means telling as many people as I can about Clare." she pauses for a bit, turns and looks outside again. "I would be very interested in what you have in mind, though I wouldn't mind going to the Celestials as soon as possible, before nightfall." she says, turning back to El.

El shook her head as she heard the name, turning away to keep looking at the assorted foods. The more she heard though, the more curious she would become, her hands now absently poking at the goods while she eavesdropped. Fong on the other hand, listened intently, stroking his goatee once again as he searched his memory for someone matching Nora's description.

"Hmm... Unfortunately, I don't recall seeing anyone of that description. Though, you may wish to ask the Celestials. They have a way of seeing one's soul, as well as their person. Perhaps they can assist you?" Fong hummed, his eyes darting towards El as she dropped a jar of jam on the floor, exclaiming "Shoot!" in hushed tones as she quickly bent over to pick it back up and place it on the shelf.

Fong chuckled, then spoke to Nora once again. "Sadly, I cannot leave my post, however, Miss Moonburst here has visited this island many times. Perhaps she would be willing to take you before the celestials?" Fong inquired, looking towards El with a nod, which she returned, her gaze jumping over to Nora with a smile. "I'd be happy to help." El hummed, reaching a hand down to Nora which, if taken, would be able to help her off her seat should she so choose.

"El Moonburst, at your service. Who might you be?" Nora takes her offered hand and stands back up. "Thank you, miss El, I'm Nora." She can't help but stare at the elf's uncovered body for a moment. But the Pandaren offering her a glass of water snaps her back to reality. "I'm a shieldmaiden for the Order of the Silver Hand." she complements after taking a sip. "Should we go now or? How does that work?" Nora asked. El smiles as she helps to lift Nora up, though she notices the woman's eyes wonder.

El's mile morphs into a playful smirk as she places her right hand on her hip, whilst jutting her left hip out, striking a little pose until Fong offered the glass of water. "A pleasure to meet you, Nora. I'm a-... monk. No real allegiance to a cause though." El snickered, motioning towards the exit to the tent. "Your call if you're ready to venture inland. Though before we bother the Celestials, I have an idea on how I can maybe help-." El paused, realizing she just gave up the fact she was eavesdropping.

Her face went red in embarrassment. "S-Sorry. I just couldn't help overhearing." Nora giggles, noticing El blush. "Don't worry, miss El. I wasn't trying to be quiet about it either." she comforts her. "Besides, I want to get as much information as I can get, which means telling as many people as I can about Clare." she pauses for a bit, turns and looks outside again. "I would be very interested in what you have in mind, though I wouldn't mind going to the Celestials as soon as possible, before nightfall." she says, turning back to El.

El couldn't help but chuckle as she motioned for Nora to follow her. "Oh, there is no nightfall here. The island is kinda... stuck in a perpetual sunset. You can be here for weeks and it won't move an inch." El hums as she offered a wave behind her to the Pandaren. "Thanks Fong. I'll take care of her from here." With that, El walked towards the exit of the tent, looking back to make sure Nora was following her, leading the human away from the tent and towards the training grounds.

"So, you said you're looking for your sister?" said El. "Yes... for too long. I miss her dearly." Nora answered. "I understand... I too have lost family. Let's hope this will help you get her back sooner rather than later. Also, complete side note, LOVE the skirt! I have a blue one just like it I use for civilian use." El nods at Nora. "Thank you, Light's willing. And yes, I love these... they're so practical." said Nora, smoothing her skirt.

"While still remaining stylish! The best of both worlds." El added. "Excuse me, but since we're talking about clothes..." Nora began. El raises her eyebrow inquisitively at Nora. “Yes?” "Is there a reason for why you're not wearing anything?” El chuckles at Nora. “There is.” El pauses, taking a moment to decide how to say her peace.

“My scars tend to be rather... itchy when I wear anything to restricting. This way, I am able to fight without such distractions, while also becoming one for my adversaries.” El explained.

“That's... understandable.” Nora nods at El as the pair approach a Pandaren-ran stall. “Just a moment.” El hummed, turning to face the Pandaren man. El approaches a stall with several kegs of beer behind the counter. Sapmaster Vu offers a wave to El as the pair stop. "Afternoon, Miss El. Need anything?" El offers a kind wave before speaking. “Hello Vu. Need some Dream Brew. Enough for 2 please.” With that, Sapmaster Vu nods and turns away from the pair, reaching behind a few kegs of alcohol to pull out a surprisingly ornate kettle.

"Here you are. I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for." Sapmaster Vu says, offering a nod to Nora. "Thank you, Vu." said El. Nora also thanked him. "Come. We need somewhere calm. I know a spot." El beckons Nora to follow her. Nora nods and begins to follow El away from the training grounds.

"You said you were part of the Silver Hand? Why don't you wear their colors? If you don't mind me asking of course." "I only wear them when I'm on a mission, and this is personal." responded Nora. "Ahhhh. Fair enough." "Though, you're not required to wear anything as long as you're carrying your badge." the shieldmaiden added.

"Oh? So does that mean if I pin the badge to my shoulderpad, I can wear this too?" El smirks slyly at Nora. "Yes, you could." said Nora. El giggles at Nora again. "Noted. I like this organization more than most already."

The pair banter as they enter a nearby cave system. The sounds of their steps and voices reverberate off the walls, assuring them that they are alone. “You must be super strong to be able to carry that shield around everywhere. I need to use Chi to give me enough strength to just get out of bed in the morning!” El giggled.

"I'm really... not. I guess I just got used to it." Nora giggles with El. "Fair enough." The pair continue walking until they fi nd a lake within the cave, that has a little stone island in the middle. "Right. Here should be good." said El. "Okay. What do I do? And why here?" Nora was full of questions. El unclasp her cloak and lays it on the ground, placing the steaming tea kettle in the center. "The grounds tend to get... rowdy. In here, we should have plenty of quiet to concentrate.” El explains as she motions for Nora to sit across from her.

Now that her cloak was removed, Nora could likely catch a glimpse at the twin slave brandings on her upper back. "When did you...?" Nora asks, pointing at the brandings El canted her head as she took one of the tea cups attached to the kettle and filled it with tea, looking back to her brandings with a sad smile. "When I was young, my father sold me to Amani Trolls to keep them away from his land. I was a slave for about 70 years."

"I'm... sorry. I didn't know." Nora felt bad for having brought such a sad past up, as it must have been traumatizing for El. She wanted to ask more, out of curiosity, but she didn't want to poke further into her wounds. She instinctively touches El's hands in a gentle manner and offers her another sincere smile. El 's smile warmed as she offers the tea cup to Nora, letting her hand be held for a moment. "It's alright. I've been at peace with my past for a while now. Kinda hard to be a monk without doing that first." El chuckled, looking to Nora's back. "Your weapons. You will not need them. Place them beyond arms length. No matter what you may see, you won't be in any danger." El hummed as she began pouring a cup for herself.

"Not that I don't trust you, but I'd rather not be swung at if you see something that isn't actually there. Hehe!" Nora placed her weapons behind her. She couldn't say she trusted El completely but her instincts told her she wouldn't need them. However, she left them somewhere she could see them if something were to happen. "Ready." she said, as she sat back next to El.

"How much should I drink from this? I should say I'm a little weak to alcohol." she says with an awkward smile. El chuckled and shook her head. "It's not alcoholic, love. Do the one cup in a single gulp if you can. That should grant you plenty of time." Nora looks at the drink for a moment, pondering if she should deliberately put herself in a condition of vulnerability. She takes another look at El in an attempt of finding reassurance. Having made her mind, she closes her eyes and drinks the whole cup in one go. "Sheesh! You sure this doesn't have alcohol?" she asks, her face with a look of slight disgust.

El chuckled as she rose her own cup up to her lips and downed her helping of the tea as well. "No, no alcohol. Though yes, it is quite... intense." El moaned as she too gagged. She shifted herself closer to Nora, placing a hand on her knee. "Okay. now, let the drink take hold. I'll see what you see."

Upon drinking the tea, Nora would instantly begin to feel an intense level of exhaustion take hold. As her eyes fl uttered closed, she'd suddenly feel herself rising up. The sound of the ocean would swell in her ears, as well as noises of a ship's crew, cursing as hollering at each other in jest. When Nora opened her eyes, she'd see the ship in question sailing on the lake next to the pair, the sails of which were chains stretched across the masts. Suddenly, the ship burst into fl ames as a second ship appeared next to it. The flaming ship sank, though a spark of light hovered where it had been, then the spark boarded the other ship. The little island in the middle of the cave's pond suddenly became lush with assorted greenery, fl ora one might fi nd in a dense jungle, the smell of bananas and beer fi lling the air. There, Nora would see an outpost form along the coast of the "island", with various races going about their day. Nora may recognize this place as booty bay. Suddenly, fl oating above the outpost, El and Clare would be sat across from each other, beers in hand.

"The name's-... Lilly." Clare's voice would echo, as the projection of El sipped her ale. "Oh! That's a pretty name! Hopefully I can remember it after this." The projection of El giggled, raising her glass towards Clare, who clinked it before the pair drank together. Suddenly, El faded from the vision, leaving Clare alone as she stood up and began to walk. The area around her morphed into yet another jungle-esque area. The compound surrounding Clare looked like an abandoned prison of sorts. She sauntered over to the shoreline and looked across the ocean to see a dense marshland not too far from the island, as well as a ship anchored not too far away. Nora would feel a sense of longing overwhelm her as she floated towards Clare, eventually hovering right in front of her.

The image of Nora's sister seemed to be looking directly into Nora's eyes as she let out a deep sigh and the vision faded, allowing Nora to awaken when she was ready. "Was that...? It felt so real... You knew her? Why didn't you tell me?" Nora bombarded the elf woman with questions again. The dream left the shieldmaiden with more questions than answers, but her heart was filled with joy in knowing her sister was still alive. El shook her head as the effects of the tea wore off, both her and Nora likely feeling a bit groggy for a few moments. "I-... I didn't know. She must have given me a false name." El moaned, rubbing her eyes.

Eyes... El blinked hers as she looked into Nora's. "You have her eyes." El hummed, moving to stand up, offering a hand to Nora once more.

"That island. I think I've read about it in a history book about Stormwind. A jungle overlooking Dustwallow Marsh with a prison on it. Sounds like where King Varian was taken after he was abduction by the Defias Brotherhood. Oh-... what was the name...?"

"You mean Alcaz Island?" said Nora, before standing up and giving El a hug, happy to let out some of the happiness she was feeling within after the discovery. "S-Sorry about that. I must tell Mother! She needs to know! She needs to know Clare is still alive!" As much as she wanted to go straight home, she remembered El told her the time ran differently inside the Timeless Isle. So she didn't need to hurry. Not yet.

When Nora mentioned Alcaz Island, El snapped her fingers and nodded. "Yeah! That's the one. Though, not sure if that's where she's living, or if she's just stopped there." El giggled as she was pulled into the tight hug, her exposed chest suddenly chilled as they pressed up against Nora's armor.

She offered a warm hug back, feeling Nora's jolt of joy radiating off of her. "Hey, while I don't blame you for wanting to tell her right now, when was the last time you took some time for yourself? Take a chance to enjoy the Timeless Isle. You seem to really need it, 'cause while you share Clare's eyes... yours looked far more tired than hers did..." El trailed off as she pulled out of the hug.

"Oh, the truth is I... I... well... lately I haven't had a lot of information coming, and Mother has given up. She still blames me for this and hasn't been the same after Clare has gone missing. I guess I was just..." Nora didn't want to say it but she owed El the truth after what she had done for her. "I guess I was about to give up too. So, thank you El. Truly. Thank you for bringing back hope to my heart. I don't think I'll ever be able to pay you back." she said with teary eyes.

El smiled wider than Nora had seen thus far, as El now brought her into a tight embrace. "I-I had no idea it was this dire. I'm elated I was able to help, Nora!" El cheered as she gave Nora a tight squeeze, then pulled back, beaming. "You don't have to pay me back. Bringing joy to people is reward in of itself." El cooed, turning to grab the teacups and kettle, throwing her cloak back on.

"So, what do you say we return this to Vu and celebrate?" Nora's tiredness was undeniable but the rush of adrenaline from that discovery gave her a burst of enthusiasm. "Yeah, let's go. I think he will be happy to know." she said, turning back to look for her weapons. "Ready to go?" asked El, one more time. "Yes!" Nora replied promptly. El beckons Nora to follow her out of the cave… starting in the wrong direction…

“I... think this is the way out. Probably should have paid more attention to the directions.” El laughs, with Nora joining in. After a bit of walking in silence, Nora breaks it. "I wonder...Hmm-? Shoot...” Just as the pair meet a dead end. Blushing in embarrassment, El turns around, offering a shy smile at Nora. The pair backtrack until they fi nd a more familiar trail towards the exit of the cave system. Nora laughs at their own lack of spatial awareness. "What you wonderin' 'bout before?" asked El.

"I was thinking... if we're stuck on time here, why don't people just live here? Seems like the safest place you could ever be." Nora inquired.

"Well, you still age. That means while you grow old, all your loved ones that aren't on the island lose that time with you. A few days here and there aren't that big a deal, but when you spend years here, and only a few hours pass out there... you'd miss out on a lot."

"I see, I suppose that's true." Nora accepted.

The pair finally exit the cave, quickly coming upon the same stall as before. El placed the kettle and cups down on the table as they approached Sapmaster Vu once more. He smiled. "Afternoon again, Miss El. Miss Nora. I hope things were... eventful for you both?" Vu hummed, wiggling his eyebrows at El. "They were!" said Nora, completely oblivious to his tone. "Vu-! It-, It wasn't like that this time. I was helping her!" said El. "Oh. Wait, what?" Nora looks at El with a confused look. .

"Ho ho ho! If you say so." Vu chuckled as he darted his eyes over to Nora. "She took you to her special spot in the cave, yes? Near the water?"

"Vu..." El blushes at Sapmaster Vu’s words. "Seriously! It wasn't like that this time."

"Yes, she made me take a very special drink." said Nora.

"Ehhhh. Techincally I made the drink. She just gave it to you. So long as you were fruitful in your search, then I won't badger."

"Believe it or not, you can use one spot for more than just one thing, Vu." El rolls your eyes at Sapmaster Vu. Nora pokes El and whispers: "What is he talking about?"

El blinks at Nora. "I-." El sighed at Nora. "I'll tell you in a sec." she whispered back. "Goodbyyyyye Vu." El gives a sarcastic wave to the Sapmaster, then beckons Nora to follow. "To answer your question, I-... sometimes bring friends with-... benefits to that cave. It's, like I said, far enough away to be peaceful, which means no interruptions..." El blushes.

"It's not that surprising to me, you're very... alluring." Nora pointed out. El blinks in surprise at Nora, then smirks slyly at her. "Glad you like what you see." El giggled. "We were gonna celebrate, right? Hmmm... trying to think... what's fun to do on the island...?" El looks around for a moment. "Most of the monks here tend to either meditate or battle in the arena, neither of which are the kind of relaxing we are looking for."

"Though I like parties..." Nora began. "Can we maybe go over there and get a good look of the scenery?" Nora points over to the eastern side of the island.

"Same here! Though I doubt there's any parties going on the island right now, and it's a bit late to start one." said El, giggling. "And sure. You wanna lead? See where fate takes us?" Nora nodded.

With that, the pair set off down a dirt trail towards a nearby village of Pandaren spirits. "This place is beautiful. I had never been to Pandaria before." "Pandaria is by it's very nature. Her people live in harmony with the land. This place though... it's like a relic of a bygone era." El looks at Spectral Mistweaver, their eyes connecting for a moment. "Oh, careful of them." El points at the Spectral Mistweaver. "They don't like trespassers."

The pair continue on, passing through the village and up a hill. "So, how did you become a monk?" Nora asked.

"Well-... my training was different to most. My adoptive mother taught me privately. No monastery for me. First, it's a LOT of meditation. Then combat training and healing. It's... like weaving one's essence into combat." El explained.

"It makes sense, to find peace within first…" Nora mused.

"Yeah. It takes a great deal of mental strength to overcome one's past. The more strenuous the past of a person, the harder it is to overcome, but often that leads to the individual become more powerful through the adversity." The pair reach the top of the hill, where raging Yongol await, staying there blades, but looking ready to attack at any moment.

"Careful... these guys are dangerous." she warned. "What are they guarding? Do you know?" "I-... have no idea. They're kinda just... here from what I can tell." The pair continue on the path, making sure to give the Yongol a wide berth.

"So... what kind of friends do you bring to that cavern?" Nora inquired, causing El to giggle. “Anyone who will give me the time of day really. Men, women, humans, draenei, worgen, tauren. So long as they understand the rules, they're allowed in. Though that isn't my usual spot to do that kind of thing.”

"What would the rules be?”

“No means no. That's about it." El giggles.

"Understandable. Backing up a second, where is your usual spot then?" Nora asked. "That would be my business. I-... know it may seem strange for a monk, but I own and operate a brothel and escort service. Among other things." El hummed as the pair come to a halt when they overlook a massive drop, the ocean rippling calmly below. They both take a seat, drinking in the view. El gasps. "What a view..." she said with a smile.

"Mhm. And it's not strange at all, if you've come to peace with that. Where do you work? I mean, where is your brothel?" Nora continued with more questions.

"I meant more so a monk being part of that scene. It's called Divine Delights. We're on the boarder between Elwynn and Redridge, though we are currently renovating the main building, so we're mostly just offering the escort service at the moment, which we have a couple rooms set aside for."

"That's close to where I live, I should visit you some time."

"You should! Maybe you and Lil- I mean Clare could come together sometime! Let me get you a pamphlet..." El reached into her cloak's pocket and pulled out a, handing it to Nora. The elf on the front was clearly El.

• Pamphlet

Nora takes the pamphlet from El. "Thank you. About that, I've been meaning to ask..." El raises her eyebrow inquisitively at Nora. "What else did she tell you? Anything that might be important?" asked Nora.

El thought back to the day she had a drink with Clare, gazing out to the ocean bellow as she did. "I'll admit, it's a bit fuzzy since we drank a bit. I do remember her mentioning 'home' a lot. She didn't really want to go into detail on where that was though... Or... maybe she did and I just can't remember...?”

"Home?" asked Nora, visibly startled. El nodded. "I think this may be the best news I could have gotten. If she means to go home, I should go straight back once I leave this island." El smiles at Nora, the face turning into a giggle.

"Today just seems to be the day for good news, huh?"

"Yes, thank you again." Nora said, looking at the pamphlet. "Also, is this you?" she asked. Nora points at a photo of a naked elf on the cover of the pamphlet. "You're welcome. And yep! I'm the head of the place, so... I tend to do a lot of things myself, marketing being one of them."

"When I find Clare, I want you to come to our house to celebrate with us. I'm sure she would be happy too." said Nora with a smile. El smiled back and nodded excitedly! "Oh- I'd love to! Reunions are so fun! Though, I'll make sure to bring something that's good for lightweights." El playfully nudged Nora's side with a wink. The girls stood there for some time, admiring the view in silence.

Moments later, they said their goodbyes and Nora walked back to the camp, excited to get a kite back to the Jade Forest and then travel back to her home, Stormwind City, where she would wait hoping for Clare's return.

Interlude

Over the next week, Nora and El exchanged the following letters:

To El “Petal” Moonburst,
I do hope this letter fi nds you well and that your days are as bright as the smile you showed me in the Timeless Isle. It feels like yesterday.
But! I have extraordinary news! Clare has returned! After all these years, she is safe and sleeps in her own bed as I write this. My heart is brimming with joy, just as I felt back when you shared your vision with me in that cavern. We have so much to catch up on, so many memories to share.
Which brings me to the reason why I'm writing to you now. I've been thinking so much about our conversation, and how you were the key in bringing us this happiness. Clare and I would be divinely delighted if you would join us! Perhaps we could meet in Stormwind City? Or at your tavern? Just name a time and place and we'll make sure to be there.
Until then, may your path be peaceful, and your spirit be as bright as ever.
With the deepest gratitude,
Nora Silvercrest

El received the letter in Boralus, but not at the brothel called Divine Delights. That was located in Elwynn. The renovations were now in full swing, making the building practically unusable. As such, El would have returned to Boralus for a time, allowing her head manager some time off. Thankfully, before El left for Kul Tiras, she had requested all mail be forwarded to Boralus, with personal mail going to her home, while business mail went to her tavern, Jacinto's Bar and Grill. It had been early in the morning as El arived at her tavern. The day was unusually hot and muggy, so the little elf had taken to wear her civilian attire. Upon entering her business, memories fl ooded too El's mind as she looked around the tavern for the fi rst time in months.

Most of the memories were pleasant, though now bore a sad sting to them, as most of those involved in said memories were gone now. El retreated back into the enclosed portion of the building, moving to peel off her civilian clothes until she was fully nude, then tied on her apron she earned all those years ago in HalfHill. As she was tying the thread around her back to keep the apron tight against her naked body, El noticed a letter on her desk, which she opened and quickly read through. She squealed in excitement as she did so, quickly moving to grab a quill and paper to immediately pen back a response.

Dear Nora,
Your letter fi nds me in good tidings, and I wish this one does the same for you. I am ELATED to hear from you again, and even moreso that you've reconnected with Lil Clare! I do hope she is adjusting to the city well. As one who spent a lifetime in confi nement, I know all too well it can be... overwhelming at fi rst. Thinking back to our time on the Isle, I recall the desire to celebrate once Clare was found. Unfortunately, I have left Elwynn for Kul Tiras, as my brothel's renovations have begun in earnest, making the whole of the building unusable. As such, I elected to give more time to my Tavern in Boralus, and have already given my General Manager a week of paid time off while I fi ll their role. As such, I will be unable to travel back to Stormwind until next week. However, if you fi nd the time, I would be ECSTATIC to host you and Clare here at my tavern. I will attach a flyer with the menu as well as the address for your convenience, should you decide to visit. I look forward to either your response, your visit, or both!
Until then, may the White Tiger watch over you.
P.S. If you're not a fan of skinny dipping, bring some swimwear! My tavern sits right on a lake, and the summer weather seems to be coming in full force!

Attached to the letter was a flyer for "Jacinto's Bar and Grill", the cover of which would have an address and directions to the building. The inside held a menu of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as full meals.

Chapter 2: Jacinto's Bar and Grill

Outfits included in this chapter:

Nora

Clare

El

The building would be mostly empty by this time of night, giving whosoever passed by a perfect view of it. Most chairs were shaped out of, or in the shape of barrels, with a heavy pirate theme all around. On the wall behind the counter was the mounted head of a massive troll, the skin of which was singed quite badly. The only soul present was El, wearing nothing but her fl ower crown and a thin white apron with an official Halfhill emblem on it.

That's right, El earned that shit. She was sat up on the bar, leaning her back against the pillar separating it from the road. Her eyes were... resting after the long night, as she breathed lightly through her nose. For Nora, it wasn't the fi rst time to Boralus. But Clare couldn't hide the excitement from seeing the magnitude of the Kul Tiran port city. Even though she traveled a lot with the Southsea crew, Freehold was as far as the pirates would come.

"I think it's supposed to be here." said Nora. "I told you we should've come early. Now the place is full of drunks and bums, she's probably already gone." said Clare. The sisters approached the tavern. "Look, she's still here. We're fi ne." said Nora. "EL!" Clare rushed to the elf and took her hands. El was resting as the pair approached, though quickly snapped her eyes open as she heard them approach, jolting in surprise as Clare took her hands. El giggled, giving Clare's hands an affectionate squeeze before pulling her hands up to her face to rub the sleepy haze from her eyes.

"Hi there Nora and-," El smirks, clearing her throat as she looks to Clare."Lilly. Nice to see you both again." El giggled with a playful wink to Clare. "You're okay! We're usually open rather late anyway. Glad you guys could make it! Welcome to my humble bar and grill." the elf hummed in excitement, the groggy haze seeming to have lifted from her head entirely now. She twirled off the bar-top, planting her bare feet on the ground as she pulled Clare into a hug fi rst since she was closest, then did the same to Nora.

"Hehe! I'd be stuck here till about 4 am cleaning anyway, so you're right on time as far as I'm concerned!" Nora looked around the tavern, taking in all the lively patrons who lingered over their drinks between laughter and music. “You’ve really built something special here, El.” she said, nodding appreciatively. “I bet you’re making a fortune off all this.” El couldn't help but blush at the compliment, her hands moving to play with the string holding her thin apron barely tied together. "Thank you. It's my pride and joy. It belonged to the leader of my found family, before it all fell apart, and she left it to me."

El paused, moving to caress her hand on the pillar of wood nearby. "I have... a lot of good memories of this place." El hummed before snapping back to reality. "Oh! You both must be hungry after that trip! Or at least thirsty! Let me get you some menus! Whatever you want, it's on the house." El chirped, rolling over the bartop in a fl ash of white and blue.

She reached under the bar for but a moment before reappearing with 2 laminated menus. "Here ya go! And don't worry, Nora. We have non-alcoholic options too." Nora smiled warmly, taking the menu from El’s hands and glancing through the offerings before looking back up. “Thank you, El. I think I’ll start with one Bone Apple Tea, if you have it?” Her tone was appreciative of El’s kindness and the way she had welcomed them so wholeheartedly. Clare however wasted no time and smirked.

“And I’m feeling like celebrating. At least that was the idea, right?” she said, leaning on the bar with an easy confidence. “What’s the most expensive drink you’ve got? Bring me that.” she pointed at the specialty drink called Recoil's Recoil.

El whipped out a notepad and pen, waiting excitedly as the pair looked over the menu. She jotted down Nora's drink, before turning to Clare, wincing at the drink she had pointed out.

"Oh fel-, okay so... that one is a DOOZY. My adoptive mother made it specifically to get rid of troublemakers." El chuckled, moving to lean over on the bar, her barely contained cleavage practically spilling over her apron. "It's reeeeeally strong. Think you can handle it? I've seen it take down captains." El snickered, turning back to Nora for a moment.

"Anything to eat with that, or just the drink for now?" Clare smirked wider and leaned even closer over the bar. “Oh, I am sure.” she said firmly, tapping the menu for emphasis. “I want to get drunk tonight. And a drink with that name sounds like just the thing to do it.” She gave El a cheeky grin. Nora frowned at Clare’s boldness, then returned her gaze to the menu, scanning the food options thoughtfully. After a moment, she looked back up.

“Actually, El, I think I’d like to try the Skewered Peanut Chicken, please.” El rose her eyebrows with a sigh as she wrote down the drink on the notepad.

"Okaaaay. Can't say I didn't warn you!" El giggled, nodding over to Nora as she added the chicken to the order. "Aaaalright! One Bone Apple Tea, one Recoil's Recoil, one order of Skewered Peanut Chicken.... Did you want a food too, Clare, or just the drink?" El inquired, tilting her head to the side as she asked. She was in business mode now. Clare shook her head, smirking a little more as she met El’s eyes.

"Nah, I’m good. Food just makes me sleepy. Tonight, I’m all about the drinks... and the company. I want to stay up and celebrate properly." she tapped her fi ngers lightly on the bar and looked around. El chuckled and snapped the notepad shut. "Okay then! I'll be back in just a moment." El chirped as she twirled around and began to walk to the back. The pair would get an excellent view of El's exposed back and booty cheeks as she walked away, including a look at her slave brands and scars.

Clare leaned on the bar, swirling the edge of her empty glass as El disappeared into the back room. She glanced sideways at Nora. "Hey, Nora," Clare spoke, her voice dropping just enough for only her sister to hear. "You know about the scars?" Nora leaned in close and whispered back."Yes. She told me she was a slave. For a long time. Longer than both our lifetimes combined." Clare leaned back.

"Oh. I guess she really trusts you then. Here I was thinking I was special." El returned after a few moments, both drinks and Nora's chicken on a silver platter. El laid the plater down on the bar, sliding Nora's food and drink towards her, then moved to grab the "Recoil's Recoil".

Before handing it to Clare, El held it just out of her reach, locking eyes with Clare. "First, if you feel like you're going to vomit, please do it over the side and into the water. It's always a pain to clean up otherwise." El chuckled, pointing to the lake that fl anked the building, then fully slid the alcohol to Clare. "Good luck."

Clare lifted the glass of Recoil’s Recoil with a confi dent smirk, nodding at El. "Thanks, El. You’ve got a good thing going here." Nora smiled and thanked her as well. Clare glanced back at El, giving her a teasing grin. "Used to drink pirate booze all the time. Pretty sure I can handle anything." She raised the glass, then without hesitation, tilted it back and drained the entire thing in just two quick gulps. The drink burned its way down instantly, hotter than she expected. Her confi dent smirk quickly faded.She blinked once, then twice, coughing slightly as the heat settled heavily in her stomach.

"Okay..." she muttered, clutching the bar. Nora watched amused and began laughing. "Can't say she didn't warn you." El joined in with Nora in the laughter, reaching under the bar to grab a cup of water and a can of Kaja Cola, offering them both to Clare. "Here. Told you it was bad. It waaaas specifi cally made to peacefully get rid of problematic people." El snickered, pointing once more at the lake. "Remember, if you have to empty your vault, do it in the water." El hummed, kneeling below the bar once more.

The pair would hear some clinking for a moment, then El would pop back up with a frosted glass mug in one hand and two bottles with a few ingredients on a plate in the other. She filled the first 1/3 of the mug with what looked like rum, then filled the remaining 2/3 of the chilled mug with the other liquid, which smelled of pineapple.

Once that was done, El took a pinch of sugar from the ingredients and spread it around the rim of the mug, then placed a pineapple slice on the rim, then topped it all off with a drizzle of chocolate syrup. "Here. This is my personal favorite. The 'Sweet Drink'." El giggled, sliding towards Clare. "Yeah, yeah, I get it. Your adoptive mom knew what she was doing making this stuff." said Clare. But Nora just kept laughing.

Clare rolled her eyes. "Alright, fine." Clare accepted the new drink and took a small sip. The sweetness instantly soothed the fiery burn from the Recoil’s Recoil. "Okay, that’s actually pretty damn good." Clare said with a relieved sigh. El chuckled as she took the Recoil away, walking it over towards the water, then poured it in the lake. Now that it was raining, a small waterfall formed where two parts of the roof met, which El used to rinse out the mug's remaining contents before placing the mug on the edge of the bar as she returned to her spot. She reached down and replicated the process of making the "Sweet Drink" for herself, which she instantly downed half of, punctuating it with a loud, yet soft 'ahhhh'.

"Soooooo, how did you find each other?! C'mon, I want all the details!" asked El. Nora took a deep breath and settled back against the bar. "Alright, since you’re so eager…" She glanced at Clare and smiled. "After I left the Timeless Isle, I went straight to Stormwind. I told Mother everything, about you, the vision, about what I’d found, about how time had passed inside the island. But, well... she didn’t believe me at first." Clare raised an eyebrow.

"No way she doubted you?" Nora chuckled lightly. "Yeah, she did. Actually, since you went missing we weren't really in good terms, she blamed me about your disappearance constantly. And now that I found out the truth and how everything happened, she was right. But. You showed up at the door." she smiled.

“You knocked, and I just... I couldn’t believe it." She turned back to El. "We just hugged for like ten minutes." Clare reached over and squeezed Nora’s hand. "You don’t know how much I wanted that too." said Clare. Nora nodded.

"Mother… well, she couldn’t hold back either. She was the one who changed the most in Clare's absence. But when she hugged Clare there, I could feel her returning to life. It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever witnessed." said Nora.

El listened intently as Nora recounted the story, smiling lightly as Clare added her bit as well. "Nora..." El started, reaching over to place her hand over the hand Clare was also holding.

"Don't harbor any ill will towards yourself, okay? What matters now is, you're all back together, and can be a family once again. I'm glad you still have the chance to spend time with your family, both of you." El hummed warmly, offering a nod to Clare with her last words. She offered a warm smile that held a twinge of sadness to it, then grabbed her mug and took another sip.

"So, what do you two plan to do now that you're back together? The world is your oyster, as they say in Boralus! I wonder what two sisters with the determination you both have can get up to. Hehehe!"

"Actually, El, we’ve decided to go on a quest together." Nora said.

"We have to go to Maraudon. I received a request from a merchant in Dornogal. He’s looking for a special trinket, something rare and valuable that apparently only exists deep in those caverns. He promised a generous reward, but more than that, we just want to do this together. After everything, it feels right to face big challenges side by side." Clare nodded enthusiastically.

"Yeah, I’m actually really looking forward to it. After all this time apart, this is exactly the kind of adventure I need. Plus, I have a feeling it’s going to be dangerous which makes it all the more thrilling." El couldn't help but laugh at the pair's excitement, seeing her own thirst for adventure in their eyes.

"Lucky ducks then! I'd offer to help, but, well, I gotta take care of this place until my GM gets back from vacation." El chuckled, taking another sip of her drink.

"I'm happy for you both though. No one better to look out for you on an adventure than a family member. Fuck... It's been ages since I've gone on a proper adventure now that I'm thinking about it." El paused for a moment, then shook her head, returning to the conversation.

"I've never heard of Maraudon before. Where is that?" El asked, raising her now defrosting mug to her lips. Nora was eager to share what she knew. "Maraudon is an underground network of tunnels and caverns beneath the desert hills of Desolace. It used to be a sacred temple dedicated to one of the sons of Cenarius, the wild god. I can't quite remember what his name was... I know it's a beautiful place but it's also incredibly dangerous. Some creatures that you wouldn’t expect roam those tunnels to this day. Anyway, the exact details are a bit murky, but I know that the place is still pretty dangerous." Clare rubbed her hands together with excitement.

"Sounds like my kind of place. Beautiful but full of danger." El gasped instantly at the mention of caverns, her face lighting up in jealous excitement! "You mean you get to go explore caves?! LUCKYYYY!" El giggled wildly, taking a moment to slurp up the last of her drink, then picked up the pineapple slice and taking a bite out of it.

"Okay okay. You guys get to have fun on this one, but I wanna go on an adventure sometime too! Something spooky and dangerous, and we can beat the fel outta some dumbass that thinks they're hot shit and can do whatever they want!" El laughed, chomping another bite out of the pineapple slice. "In all seriousness though, is there anything I can do to help you guys? Maybe get you some rations for the road? Who knows how long you'll be gone, right?"

Nora smiled warmly at El’s generous offer, shaking her head gently. "Thanks so much, El. But honestly, we won’t need food for the journey. At least, not from here. We’ve got our own supplies planned out already."

She glanced over at Clare, who gave a small nod in agreement. "However, a place to rest and relax before we head out would be really nice. It’s been a while since either of us had a proper break." Nora continued.

"Honestly, after that Recoil’s Recoil, I think I could use a few days to recover anyway." said Clare. El snickered at Clare's response, offering a coy shrug. "I warned ya. And yeah, I have a room or two you gals can use if you'd like. If you go with the single room, you'd have to share the bed though." El giggled, turning her gaze back to Nora with a smile.

"Sorry I didn't plan anything more... extravagant or entertaining for this celebration. I actually did order a goblin radio last week, but I think it got lost in transit, because it still hasn't arrived..." El trailed off with a sigh, shaking her head.

"Do either of you know how to play any instruments? I know a little on the harp, but nothing else. If you do, we could try playing something together?" Clare and Nora exchanged a quick glance, both shrugging and shaking their heads at El’s question.

"I don't think either of us plays any instruments" Nora admitted. Clare leaned back against the bar. "I think the single room will be enough." said Nora. "Honestly… I’m a little afraid of letting Clare get away from me again. After everything I may have developed some trauma..." Clare reached over and gently squeezed Nora’s hand, meeting her sister’s eyes with a reassuring smile. "I feel the same. But maybe that’s exactly why we need a big adventure, something to build new memories on, stronger than the scars of the past." Clare said, then glanced at El's scars. El's face broke into a warm smile as the pair had their moment, fi lling her head with a memory that caused her face to, albeit only slightly, betray it's bittersweet nature.

"That's the spirit you two. Make as many of those new memories as you can. Just watch each other's backs, and you'll be quite the duo." El hummed, turning around to saunter towards the back wall, her slave brands and bare rump visible once more. She came to a stop at a hanger full of keys that hung just under the singed troll head.

"Ah, here we are." El chirped under her breath before returning to the bar and plopping one of the keys on the counter. The number 3 was painted onto it. "Here. This one has the best view of the lake, out of the ones I have available right now. It's inside behind me, up the stairs, and the third door on the right." Clare stood first, brushing off the faint heat from the Recoil’s Recoil.

"Alright, let’s check out this place El’s talking about. I’m curious to see the lake view." she said, offering a hand to Nora. The shieldmaiden took it. “Sounds good.” she replied. Together, they left their seats at the bar. Nora looked to the side as they walked, appreciating the low sound of the rain outside.

Reaching the top of the stairs, Clare reached out and opened the door marked with the hand-painted number 3. El guided the pair upstairs to the room, letting Clare open the door to show the small studio room with a single bed, a small bathtub, a table with two chairs, and a window that looked over the nearby lake, the surface of which was peppered with rain droplets. "Here you are! It's not much, but it should be good enough for the night at least."

Clare stepped closer to the window, pushing the curtains aside. The lake stretched out, its surface rippling gently under the steady pattern of the rain. She let out a soft whistle of appreciation.

"I could get used to waking up to this. There’s a peacefulness here, even with the rain." Meanwhile, Nora set down her shield and weapon near the bed. "It’s more than enough, really. We just need a quiet place like this to breathe and rest." Then, the paladin ran a hand down her arm with the intent of releasing some of the tension she was carrying.

“El, is there a bath nearby? I could really use one." she asked. El smiled with pride as the pair looked over the room, seeming to be happy with it.

"Glad you like it. I do my best to keep things tidy. A bit-... difficult sometimes with the kind of clientele we get here." El hummed to Clare before turning her attention to Nora's question. With a quick nod, El motioned for Nora to follow her. "Yep, right this way." El hummed as she led Nora to the corner of the room where a wooden partition hid away a simple bathtub.

"Here you are. Should have a bar of soap well... somewhere..." El cooed, taking a moment to look around the tub. "Oh-, damn it. Someone must have taken it. I can get you one though."

As El showed Nora the partition, Clare practically threw herself onto the bed. She let out a soft sigh as the mattress welcomed her weary body.

"Oh yeah, this is defi nitely the kind of comfort I’ve been dreaming about when I was on that ship." she said to herself, sinking in deeper and stretching out her arms above her head. Meanwhile, Nora nodded to El’s offer to get the soap. She then turned the water on and turned away, beginning to unstrap her gear. Her fi ngers worked with practiced ease, pulling off the heavier layers piece by piece until all of her armor clattered softly to the floor.

She then took off her earrings, her ruby necklace, her bracelets and leg band, one by one, until she was bare naked. El hadn't returned yet but she decided to get on the tub in advance. El couldn't help but giggle at Clare's fl opping into the bed before darting out the door to get the bar of soap.

"Back in a sec!" was the last thing heard before she scrambled out of the room. From inside it though, the pair would hear a series of loud thuds for a brief moment, before silence once again. A few minutes went by before El returned, a bruise beginning to form on her left shoulder.

"Got it! Sorry for the wait. Here you-. Where'd Nora-?" El started to ask Clare as she heard the water, connecting the dots. "Ah. Hey uh, Nora? Would you prefer I hand this to your sister to give to you?" El asked politely, offering a smile to Clare. Nora’s voice called out through the wood.

"Just get in here and give it to me." she said. "El, I’m not drunk enough yet to just fl op down and pass out." said Clare, turning over to the other side of the bed.

"Can you get me more booze? Something lighter please? Something that won’t have me dancing on tables." Clare continued. El chuckled at Clare's request, nodding as she sauntered over towards the tub.

"Sure thing, Clare. How does a Winter Berry sound?" El asked as she got to the partition. She paused a moment, blushing, then covered her eyes with one hand, while sliding around the edge of the partition and holding out the bar of soap to where El thought Nora might be.

"Here ya go. Oh, and careful walking down the stairs in the morning. One of the middle ones just gave out and sent me tumbling, so I'll have to fi x that before I head off tonight." El sighed, holding the soap out whilst still keeping her eyes covered, despite her desire to take a peak. She was a respectful little elf after all.

"Winter Berry sounds delightful." Clare said, sitting up on the side of the bed.

"And please make that two of them, please. I think I need something smooth to wind down with tonight." she continued, stretching one arm lazily toward El. Meanwhile, from behind the wooden partition, Nora shook her head in quiet disapproval at Clare’s enthusiasm for more alcohol. When El extended the bar of soap to her, Nora reached out and took it. "Thanks, El. Again. You're the best."

El offered a nod to Nora as she felt the bar of soap be pulled from her grasp. "You're welcome, love. Enjoy the bath." El cooed, retreating to the other side of the partition and revealing her eyes once more. She chuckled at Clare's lazy hand movements, offering her a nod as well.

"Sure thing, Clare. I'll get those, fi x that step, then crash in the room next door most likely. If you need anything, feel free to knock." El hummed, as she slipped out of the room. Nora sank into the water, letting it soothe the tension knotted in her body. Closing her eyes, the shieldmaiden breathed in the scent of the soap El had given her. It smelled a bit like a peaceful meadow in spring. The fragrance relaxed her mind, washing away the weight of the journey and her fi ngers trailed just beneath the water, rubbing away the grime and fatigue out of her. In what felt like no time at all, El returned with both drinks on a little platter.

El smiled as she looked over to Clare sitting on the bed, and placed the plater on the bedside table next to her. With a gentle hum, El picked up one of the mugs and sat on the bed, nudging Clare on the shoulder to let her know El was there.

"Here ya go, love. Fresh Winter Berry. Should feel like a cool breeze going down, perfect to help you wind down." El cooed, moving to stand once she handed off the drink."I'll see you both in the morning then. Have a good night."

"Goodnight!" said Clare

Chapter 3: El's Shadowy Secret

Outfits included in this chapter:

Nora

El

El had been resting in the borrowed bed for about an hour after finishing her closing chores, her nude body nuzzled warmly under the sheets. Even her fl ower crown had been removed, which she only did to sleep. The room had been quiet, aside from the pitter patter of the rain on the window and roof, until El's eyes shot open. It was pain that awoke the elf, a sharp stabbing pain coming from her chest.

"Oh- shit. No no no no-!" El whispered harshly, ripping the covers off to reveal that her chest was beginning to glow, a ball of radiant light shimmering just beneath her skin, with tendrils of purple light stretching out through her veins. Why now?! I just-. El began to think as a pulse of sharp pain reverberated from the glowing point in her chest, causing El to let out a yelp that she cut off by throwing her hand over her chest. She hoped it hadn't woken anyone up as she moved to stand up, clenching onto the bedside table with her free hand as she did so to help keep her balance. She threw the drawer of the bedside table open, only to shiver in horror to fi nd it empty. “Shit-! No, no! Where did I-?! MMPH!" El cried through her nose as another sharp pulse of pain shot through her torso, the tendrils within her veins expanding further onto her body.

El took the hand she was using to cover her mouth and bit down on it, hoping to distract a bit from the pain she already felt as she moved towards a nearby table that also had a drawer. El could feel tears streaking down her face as she lost her balance and tumbled to the ground, quivering as she pulled herself towards the drawer and ripped it open, causing it to fall out of the table and onto the ground to reveal a small purple crystal inside.

Without hesitation, El clenched the gem and pressed it against the glowing part of her chest. The crystal dissolved nearly instantly, and once it was gone, the glow vanished, as though someone simply fl ipped off a light switch. El whimpered in pain as the cause of it subsided, tears streaking down her face as she desperately attempted to catch her breath, praying no one had heard the commotion.

El looked to the door, which she now realized was left ajar...

Moments before, in the room next door, Nora lay rigid in her bed. Beside her, Clare was a rumpled heap, emitting low, incoherent murmurs and the occasional snort. “‘Least one of us got to turn off our brain,” Nora thought, regretting her decision to abstain from something alcoholic. Perhaps a few swigs of whatever Clare had been guzzling would have granted her the blessing of oblivion. She needed a breath of fresh air. Careful not to disturb Clare, Nora silently slid out of bed.

Tugging a loose woolen shift over her body, Nora left the room. But as she eased it open, a faint sliver of light from further down the short hall caught her eye. It was El’s room, and the door was slightly ajar. Hesitantly, she decided to indulge her curiosity and pushed the door a fraction wider and peered into the room. Nora froze at what she saw, caught between the urge to rush in and help, and the realization that she was intruding on something deeply personal.

El froze in turn as she saw Nora peeking in through the ajar door, a sense of dread instantly fi lling the little Quel'dorei. How much had she seen? El knew Nora was a paladin. Did she detest the void to the point she'd exterminate it on site like the Arathi? After a moment that felt like it stretched out for an eternity, El gulped and wobbled to her feet leaning against the table for support.

"N-Nora. Sorry, did I disturb you?" El stammered, hoping to play coy if Nora hadn't seen too much. It was then that El noticed her left hand, the one she had been holding over her mouth, felt cool. Taking the quickest glance down, El noticed her biting had broken skin, which she promptly hid by sliding her hand behind her back.

Nora’s eyes moved from El’s face to the spot on her chest where the light had been moments before. She noticed El’s quick movement to hide her hand, but didn’t press it. The blonde girl didn't move from the doorway, still uncertain on how to proceed without meddling.

“What… what was that? Are you alright? Is there something I can help with?” Nora asked, trying to respect El’s privacy, but her eyes conveyed a deep worry. El winced as Nora asked if she could help. Clearly, she had seen something.

Nervously, El brought her bleeding hand forward, nodding. She had an idea. If Nora used the light on El, and saw no obvious negative effect, she might let El explain herself. "U-Um... sure. Could you- heal this, please?" El stammered, reaching her now dripping hand out to Nora as she pressed off the table, wobbling just a little as she caught her balance as she made her way towards the door.

Once El was closer, Nora would be able to see her cheeks were drenched in tears as the candle lights danced over El's face. Nora looked at El’s tear-streaked face and then to her outstretched hand. She frowned. “Of course, I can heal that,” Nora said.

“May I come in properly, and perhaps we could go back to your bed? You look like you’re about to fall over.” she suggested, moving her own hands behind El’s back gently to give her support. El smiled softly and nodded, opening the door proper for Nora to enter.

"Sure. Just-... let me make sure the door is shut behind us." El said, moving to close the door after Nora came all the way in. El let the paladin lead her to the bed, where she would offer her hand to Nora.

"Thank you... Um- how much of that did you see? Just me on the fl oor or..." El trailed off, waiting to see Nora heal her hand. There was no use ignoring the issue now. Best to see just how much she'd have to explain. Nora, still supporting El, guided her to the edge of the bed.

“Here, sit down,” she urged and helped El settle. Nora moved to sit beside her, turning to face her with a reassuring expression. She reached out, taking El’s hand carefully and let it rest on her lap.

“I saw the light, El, and you on the fl oor, and the crystal. It looked painful.” Nora said. Her fi ngers softly traced the skin near the cuts as she examined it thoroughly.

“This might sting a little when I begin, but it will pass quickly. Are you ready?” she asked. El cringed as she heard Nora's recounting of the incident, realizing she'd have to explain a lot now. Still, she let Nora have her hand, letting it go limp as Nora examined it.

"It-... was. Painful I mean." El stammered, reaching her free hand up to wipe her face free of the tears that were left. When Nora mentioned it stinging, El canted her head curiously. She'd been healed by the Light before, and it hadn't stung.

"W-Why will it sting? I mean, I'm ready, but being healed by the Light hasn't hurt me in the past. Tingled a bit, maybe-, b-but that's for a different reason." Nora gently squeezed El’s hand.

“It’s because of what I sensed, El,” she spoke, soft but serious. “When I peered in, and even now, I can feel void energy.”

“The Holy Light, when it touches energies that are antithetical to it, can cause pain. A sting, as the confl icting energies react before the Light mends.” El let out a little sigh as she shook her head, offering a small smile.

"Good thing that's not me you're feeling. Just-... keep it to my hand and it should be okay." El explained, offering an affirming nod as well.

"That's-... why I asked for you to heal me with the Light. To show it isn't me that you felt, or saw hurting me." El hummed, wiggling her fi ngers within Nora's grasp, showing she was ready.

Nora nodded. She closed her eyes for a moment, taking a deep, calming breath before beginning to chant her spell. A faint golden glow emanated from her hands, intensifying as she held them gently over El’s injured hand.

As the warmth of the Light touched El’s skin, the cuts began to close until only a faint redness remained. Nora opened her eyes and bringing El’s hand to her lips, gave it a gentle kiss. “So, what is that, El? Do you want to tell me about it?” she asked. El closed her eyes as Nora did, preparing herself. She felt the warmth of the Light wash over her hand, accompanied by a slight tingle she felt every time the Light was used on her.
She was told before the tingle wasn't what everyone else felt, but it didn't really matter. The job was done, painlessly as well. Once El felt the rush of the Light fade, her eyes would fl icker open, just in time to see Nora kiss her hand. El blushed at the gesture, but quickly frowned at Nora's inquiry, taking her hand to inspect it.

"It's-... a long story." El started, looking over to Nora with a soft smile. "If you don't mind listening, I can explain it." El hummed, using her hands to lean back and prop her fully bare torso up on the bed whilst she looked for Nora's reaction.

"Please. I want to understand." said Nora. She looked at El leaning back but it looked uncomfortable. Nora shifted slightly on the bed and patted her own lap twice with her palms, as if inviting El to rest her head there. "You don't have to hold yourself up," she said. "Come here. Rest your head. You can tell me everything."

El inhaled softly, then launched into her explanation.

"So, after I was freed from slavery, I was basically shipped to Stormwind because of my eyes. It was during the height of the 4th war, so the Sin'dorei didn't trust anyone with blue eyes. When I arrived, I was alone. A street rat for a time. That was until I was basically adopted by a mercenary group. They brought me in, cleaned me up, fed me, taught me to speak, read, and write." El hummed, smiling as warm memories fi lled her mind. They happened so long ago, but still felt fresh. Taking the moment to pause, El took up Nora's request, moving her body forward, then twirling it to the side on the bed before leaning her head back to rest it on Nora's warm, bare legs. She continued.

"The leader was a warlock, and as part of an insurance policy in case they were ever attacked when I was around, they implanted a soulstone into my chest. It- never really got any use, so it sat idle for a long time." El paused again, moving her now healed hand over her chest. Her fi ngers danced over one of the scars present there, this one slightly larger than the others, but otherwise, it blended in.

"I can only feel a little bit of the bump when I press down on it, but aside from that, it's basically undetectable. Fast forward until a few months ago. I was assisting an archeologist friend I have, Rico Delbringer, with exploring one of Neltharian's hiddencaches in Zaralek Caverns, near Aberus. When we entered, I stumbled upon an urn that... called to me. When I touched it, the top popped off and a torrent of astral void energy shot into my chest." El patted her chest on the scar.

"Some-... thing, decided to make its home there. I'm not sure what exactly it is, but it...talks to me. Whispers mostly. It doesn't want to kill me, but it also doesn't want to die. So... we've... come to a bit of an agreement. I feed it void energies to keep it alive, and let it live in the soulstone, and in return, it doesn't take over my body, and I get to use some of it's latent Astral Void powers it creates as waste, without becoming a Ren'dorei." El fi nished, letting both her hands rest on her stomach now.

"Thing is... if I go to long without feeding it, it starts to syphon away at my body instead. And there's almost no warning on when it decides it's hungry, so... I tend to keep void crystals hidden around places where I frequent, just in case.”

Nora was silent for a long moment after El stopped talking, but her hand kept gently stroking El’s hair. She processed every word, every detail and pondered the best way to say what her heart wanted to say without hurting her friends’ feelings. This wasn't like a common curse, it was more like a parasitic cohabitation, a delicate and dangerous balance that could shatter at any moment.

“El…” Nora broke the silence. She kept stroking El’s hair in a soothing, repetitive motion. “Thank you for telling me, but this… agreement you have. It is not something sustainable. You’re feeding a predator, El. A creature of the Void. It may seem like you have it contained, that you’re in control, but these things don’t desire balance. They desire only to consume. Every time you feed it, you’re just making it stronger, giving it more of a foothold not just in the soulstone, but in you.”

“There will come a day when a simple crystal won’t be enough. It will demand more. And on that day, you’ll be forced to make a choice. To continue feeding it whatever it demands, or to fi ght it. What you’re doing now is only delaying that choice, not avoiding it.” She glanced at the spot on El’s chest where the entity resided. “This thing inside you, can it hear us right now? Does it know we’re talking about it?” she asked, wondering if what she said may cause her friend to be in trouble. El let her eyes fl utter closed as she felt Nora begin to stroke her hair, letting out a sweet sigh of relief at the calming feeling it brought.

When the calm silence was broken though, El's eyes snapped open, locking onto Nora's as she spoke. El's neutral expression turned to a frown as Nora said her peace, content to let her fi nish.

"I know... It's not like I can fi x this though. The only alternative I can think of is letting it kill me, and keeping it trapped in the soulstone. But... that's something I'd ratheravoid. And it doesn't want that fate either. Then it'll be stuck, likely buried with me, forever." El explained, shaking her head in Nora's lap.

"As far as I can tell, it can't 'hear' like we do. It can form a mental link to me whenever it decides it wants to shoot the shit, but not the other way around. It's toooold me that it's no fan of the void, that it was basically sacrifi ced as a slave to Deathwing, but... I can't discount the idea it may just be saying that. It's shown me how it got put into that urn, but who's to say those visions aren't fabrications?" El pondered aloud, sighing in frustration.

"I just know, if it does have bad intentions, so long as I can keep it trapped in me, and fed, it won't hurt anyone else. It’s too weak to, at least for now.” The fact that the entity was deaf to their conversation was a relief to Nora. It meant they could plan. She kept stroking El’s hair.

“Letting it kill you is not an option. And trapping it inside you forever, letting it slowly consume you piece by piece… that is no life. It’s a prison for you both, and you don’t deserve that.” Nora looked at the window afar where the light rain still fell onto the lake.

“There is another way, we don’t have to kill you to kill it.” she said.

“We could move it. Convince it to leave your body for another host. Something that looks more tasteful for a thing like that. A stronger body. A vessel we can present to it as a promise of revenge against those who abandoned it, as you said. And once it has made the transfer, once it is separated from you completely… then we kill it. We destroy the new host with the entity inside it, and we end this for good.” she fi nished, wondering what El might say. El thought on Nora's words as she listened, shrugging at the suggestion of a new vessel.

"I'm-... not sure. I know it prefers an organic body. Rico heard rumors of void entities being able to take host of a freshly dead body, but I don't want to take a life to get this thing out of me. And even if we do fi nd a fresh body laying around, the thing could steal their identity, which could cause a lot of problems..." El pondered for a moment more.

"That and, if we have to convince it to leave me for a different body, it would need to be a strong body. If we do end up fi ghting it, that would be very risky if it gets away. And what if it does just want to live out its life in peace? Would we be justifi ed in killing what could very well be an innocent creature that just so happens to be related to the void?”

“I understand why you want to believe it could be innocent,” Nora said. “You see something trapped, and your heart goes out to it because you’re such a kind little elf. But a creature born of the Void is not like us, El. It’s not a matter of choice, of good intentions or bad. Its very nature is to consume.”

She paused, looking for a way to explain the way she saw things. “Think of a fi re. A fi re doesn’t burn because it is malicious or hateful. It burns because that is what it is. It consumes everything it touches to sustain itself. This entity inside you is the same. It may whisper of peace, of just wanting to exist, but its existence is fueled by devouring energy and ultimately you. Its peace comes at the cost of your life.”

“But you’re right about one thing, a stronger host would create a more powerful opponent.” she added. “However it would be an enemy we face on our terms, out in the open. It is far better to fi ght a monster you can see, on a battlefi eld you have prepared, than to let one fester inside of you, draining you until you’re too weak to fi ght back at all.”

Nora looked into El’s eyes. “This is about your survival. As your friend I am not letting a weed fester until it chokes the entire garden. And I have no doubt I will defeat it. I will not let it win.” she fi nished and continued her massage by letting her thumb do a soothing circle against El’s temple.

El once more listened intently to Nora. Despite El's natural tendencies, she saw the wisdom in Nora's words, especially with the analogy. With a somber sigh, as Nora fi nished, El nodded, closing her eyes once again.

"You-... you're probably right. I've often given my trust to the wrong people, and it's hurt me so many times. It's a risk, but I believe you... It's terrifying, having something that can put your lights out in an instant living within. I-I don't even know where to start. And what if it fi nds out what we're doing? If I start doing research and it doesn't like what it sees..." El trailed off, her hands quickly clasping around her chest scar.

Nora could feel the fear in the little elf's voice, feel her body begin to quiver as a whole new torrent of thoughts fl owed into El's mind. "W-What do we do...? What do I do?" “Hey, hey… El, look at me,” Nora said. She placed her hands on El's small shoulders, carefully helping her to sit up on the bed, moving her from her lap so they could face each other. Then Nora wrapped her arms around the trembling elf, pulling her into a comforting hug while patting her head and running her fi ngers through El’s hair. “I’ve got you, it’s okay to be scared. Anyone would be. But you are not alone in this. Do you hear me? I’m here for you.” Nora spoke, trying to comfort her friend. El let Nora help her up and allowed herself to be pulled into the hug. Almost instantly, El's quivering would begin to soothe as her breathing slowed. El planted her eyes into Nora's neck, squeezing back in the hug as tight as she could, her bare breasts pressing hard against Nora's covered ones. For the fi rst time in what felt like forever, El felt... safe. A sense of relief knowing someone could help her get this consistently looming sense of dread to go away forever... it was overwhelming.

"Thank you..." El whispered as she fi nally pulled her head up to face Nora's, her own breaking into a nervous smile as she let out a breathy chuckle. "Fuck-, I doubt I'll be getting much sleep now." El quipped, leaning her head back a bit so she could better survey Nora's body. Before any of the horny thoughts could begin to take hold, El had a more pressing question to ask. "Will-... Would you be willing to do the research needed? I'll follow along, but I doubt I'd be able to explain away what that thing sees if it catches me reading up on how to get rid of it.”

“Of course, I will. You’re right. It’s too dangerous for you to be looking into this. It can pry into your thoughts, see through your eyes but it can’t see into mine. For now, you must continue as you have been. I'll handle the rest.” said Nora. El’s quip about not sleeping was no joke, Nora couldn’t see herself sleeping either.

“After a talk like that, I don’t blame you. But if sleep is off the table, what do you want to do? We can talk about anything else, something completely mindless to get your thoughts off it. Or we can just stay like this. I’m not going anywhere.” she said, slightly blushing.

El smiled wide at the reassurance, the relief easily seen on her face. "Thank you, so so much, Nora. I don't know how I'll repay you." El hummed, her face beaming with a light of life Nora hadn't yet seen the little elf show. El began to think on Nora's request, canting her head as she did so, though the blush caught El's eye. She quirked an eyebrow just slightly, then smirked.

"Well, usually if I can't sleep, I'll go for a walk through the Royal Maze up near Proudmoore keep. Gives me a calm place to think. Though it is a bit of a walk from here, and the rain might make the ground inside the maze a bit muddy. Your call if you wanna risk it." El cooed, noting the blush once more. She couldn't help it anymore. She had to ask.

"First-... back when I mentioned my brothel, you said you and Clare may visit sometime. Did you mean as clients, or just to swing by and grab a drink or two?” El asked, a slight twinge of nervousness on her voice. Nora blushed at the question and laughed in a soft fl ustered way.

"Ah, well... I meant we'd come visit you, El. To have a drink and see how you were doing, not necessarily as clients. Though, I suppose I can't blame you for asking. Clare and I are both single, so it’s not as if the idea is completely off the table." she said.

"The maze sounds lovely but I think I'd rather stay close tonight. I'm still afraid to leave Clare alone for too long. My mind wouldn't be at ease." Nora added with a smile. El couldn't hide her disappointment when Nora said she and Clare wouldn't be clients, though the feeling quickly faded once Nora clarifi ed it wasn't off the table. El blushed as well at the mention of both of them being single. Clearly her coy question wasn't coy enough. Either way, she had her answer!

"O-Oh. N-Noted. Hehehe!" El snickered, nodding along as Nora mentioned not wanting to leave Clare behind. "Totally understandable. With how recently you both found each other, I'd be surprised if I didn't see you two glued at the hip. Maybe we can all head that way in the morning before you two leave for your adventure?" El suggested, moving to wrap her legs around Nora's back to better support their embrace. In doing so, Nora would likely feel a sudden buzz on her stomach. Nothing intense, but noticeable.

At the same moment Nora might notice it, she'd see El squirm for a moment, reach down in between her legs, place a fi nger between Nora and herself, then pull back, the buzzing having ceased. Something that obvious caused El to MASSIVELY blush, biting her lower lip nervously as she prepared to explain what the fuck that was.

The sudden intimacy of El’s legs wrapping around her was something Nora was not prepared for. El’s bare skin was soft and warm against her, and for a moment, as she looked at El up close, Nora’s protective instincts mingled with fascination for how pretty the elf girl was. But her thoughts were cut short by something even more unexpected. Nora tilted her head and asked:

"El? What was that? For a second, I thought..." But noticing El’s face as red as a tomato, Nora gently placed a hand under El's chin, trying to coax her to look up. "Hey. It's okay. What was it?" El's face blushed even more as Nora put a fi nger to her chin and rose her head up. El couldn't help but shyly smile, bringing the hand that had reached down between them to her face to hide it.

"Promise not to judge, okay?" El asked, though she didn't actually give Nora the time to answer before that hand once more plummeted down between them, reaching for El's crotch. The little elf fi ddled with something for a moment, then pulled her hand back up to show Nora what it was that caused the strange moment. Between El's fi nger and thumb sat a heart shaped sapphire, with the other side of it having a sharp point to it.
"It's a clit piercing. I almost always have it on, but when I'm not fi ghting-... well..." El somehow went even more red as she took her pointer fi nger from her free hand and pressed in on the gemstone, which began to buzz gently.

"I knoooow, I know. I'm a deviant. But it's just so-... exciting to walk around with it on. No one but me knowing... unless of course they catch a glimpse, but then they're the perverts for getting on all fours to look." El giggled wildly, pressing on the piercing once more to turn it off, then reached over to place the piercing on the bedside table. Nora couldn't help but laugh at El's confession.

"Sorry, that's certainly a surprise. I must admit, I had no idea. And to think, I was so focused on our conversation that I didn't even notice." She shook her head, still smiling. "That's quite impressive that you can keep a straight face the whole day while having that on." she added. El playfully pouted as Nora laughed, shaking her head as she giggled along.

"Well, I had it turned off when I was asleep and while we were talking. When I went to move my legs around you, it bumped your stomach, which turned on the vibration." El explained, her face fl ashing with a strange sense of pride at Nora's last sentence. "Thanks! I've gotten used to it over the years for the most part, so it's easier to hide. The real excitement comes from me knowing I have it in and buzzing while people next to me don't even notice." El snickered, moving to place her hands around Nora's waist. She'd have placed them behind her, but there wasn't enough bed to hold her up that way.

"So....." El thought aloud, trying to fi nd a direction to steer the conversation. "What do you plan to do with Clare after you get back from your adventure? Find another one right off the bat, or spend some time catching up again?" Nora smiled at El as the elf moved her hands to her waist. "We might take a break after this next quest in Maraudon. But I'm glad you asked, because I was actually thinking about inviting you to join us. It would be great to have you along, mostly because I want to keep you safe, and I'm sure Clare would love to have you around too." El's fi ngers began to twirl aimlessly around Nora's hips as she listened, breaking into a bright smile at the invitation!

"I'd love to! No cursed crypts or ANYTHING dealing with Deathwing though, okay?" El giggled with a wink. El's fi ngers would slide further back onto Nora's back as El leaned in to hug the young woman once more, giving her upper back a squeeze. "Oh-... Nora, your back muscles are a bit tight. When was the last time you had a massage?" El asked, genuinely looking to be helpful.

"A massage?" Nora repeated. "I honestly can't remember. It must have been years." As El’s hands remained on her back, applying a gentle pressure, Nora looked into the elf’s eyes. She saw the playful glint there, she saw the subtle shift in El’s posture, leaning in just a bit more. Nora knew it was a question wrapped in a gesture, almost like an invitation to a deeper intimacy. Nora was a paladin. She didn’t want to seem lustful as to simply say yes but also didn't want to pull her away or tell her to stop. She looked at El and her mouth opened as if she wanted to say something though no words came out. Finally, before the silence became awkward she let her voice out.

"Are you any good at them? Would you be willing to give me one?" she asked, visibly fl ustered. El blushed a bit as she felt Nora peer into her soul. She was just trying to be helpful, but El had to admit to herself that she would enjoy it if things took a more intimate turn. When Nora looked as though she was going to say something, El held her breath, simply smiling as she waited for the paladin's response. When it didn't come, El's smile faded slightly. Had she made a mistake. She didn't have the time to dwell on it though, as Nora asked her question. El blushed in a smile, shrugging slightly as she nervously looked up to Nora.

"I'm not a professional, but I know enough to help ease some of the built up stress. And it's the least I can do as a starting repayment for your help with... y'know... my 'condition'. Here-." El paused, moving to peel herself away from Nora. She stood up and turned her back to Nora, then covered her eyes. "Go ahead and take that top off, then lay on your belly. Let me know when and I’ll start working on you.”

Nora stood up, a bit embarrassed but also excited. She reached for the hem of her orange woolen shift and pulled it up over her head, revealing her bare body. Her nipples were hardening, giving away the fact she was aroused at the thought of El touching her intimately. She then lay down on the bed on her stomach, just as she was told.

"I'm ready, El," Nora called out.

"You can turn around now." El let her hands fall from her eyes and twirled around, taking a moment to enjoy Nora's bare form before her. Excitement shot through the little elf as she climbed onto the bed, threw her leg over Nora's back, and crouched over top the human. El would start simple, pressing gently on Nora's upper back with the palms of her hands. El would kneed them like a cat, gently making her way around all of Nora's upper back and slowly but surely inching her way closer to Nora's lower back. Before El could reach all the way down, She would reset her stance, her hands returning to Nora's shoulder blades.

El would then grab Nora's shoulders with her 4 fi ngers to hold Nora steady, while pressing her thumbs into Nora's upper back, swirling them as El searched for the most tense muscles. She'd be at that for some time before El would release Nora's shoulders, moving to press the tips of each individual fi nger down into Nora's upper back, each acting as a pinpoint accurate pressure reliever as El's fi ngers slowly crawled their way across Nora's upper back, then slowly began to inch their way lower and lower... All the while, El's bare sex would be hovering juuuust above Nora's lower back, that was until El had to shift her body in order to reach Nora's lower back, causing her now slightly damp slit to graze Nora's rear end ever so slightly, though enough to betray the fact El was already enjoying Nora's company a bit more than the paladin had realized.

As El continued to work her way down Nora's back, the paladin couldn't help but moan softly, her body relaxing under the elf's skilled touch. "Mmmmh, El, this feels amazing. I didn't realize how much tension I was carrying until now." she said, her voice muffled against the mattress. Nora gasped as she noticed El’s slit against her ass, even felt a bit like lifting her ass in the air further to feel it again but the girl had restraint. Not enough to hold her moan though. “Mmmmh…” El let out a silent sigh of relief when Nora didn't freak out over the accidental booty brushing. With her nethers properly poised over the back of Nora's thighs, El would continue her work, her fi ngers creeping closer and closer to Nora's rear.

"Happy to help! Just keep relaxing. Enjoy it. You've more than earned this." El purred, her hands coming to crest the top of Nora's rear. El toyed with the idea of going lower, but resisted the urge. "Okay, here, let me move your arms above your head so I can get around your sides." El said, reaching for Nora's wrists. If she were allowed, El would raise them high above Nora's head until they were straight out.

"Okay." Nora said, her voice still muffled. As her arms were raised above her head, she felt a little vulnerable. Perhaps the fi rst time she felt that way around El. But it didn’t feel bad. In that moment, she trusted the little elf completely, as her soft hands were working their way through the paladin’s body. Only time would tell, but for now, Nora was content to simply enjoy the moment and the raw feeling that El's hands were bringing to her body.

El blushed as she leaned back after raising Nora's arms over her head, taking a moment to once more bask in Nora's beautiful form. Then it was back to work. El lowered her hands to gently grip either side of Nora's waist, pressing her thumbs into Nora's back, while El cupped her fi ngers together and began to make gentle, circular motions around Nora's sides.

"There you go. Let all your worries and stresses seep out of you. Breathe deep and clear your head." El cooed in a calming tone. Slowly, El's hands would creep upwards, pressing gently into Nora's ribs at fi rst. The temptation to graze Nora's breasts was intense, but El somehow managed to stay her hands for now. She'd limit her fi ngers to caressing juuuust above where Nora's sideboobs were pressed out against the mattress, and eventually made it to Nora's shoulders and armpits.

El couldn't resist now, as her fi ngers began to caress Nora's underarms, staying there for far too long. Having to lean forward so far now had an unintended consequence, as now El's very wet loins were just about to press in on Nora's rear, and as El reached forward to continue the massage up the sides of Nora's extended arms, the pair's skin would meet, giving Nora's booty a decent dosage of El's lady sugar.

Nora giggled into the mattress as El's fi ngers continued to work their magic on her body. The sensation of El's hands exploring her exposed armpits was both ticklish and arousing, and she couldn't help but feel a little naughty knowing that El's wetness was now coating her rear.

"Mmm, El, I think your pussy juice is leaking onto my ass," Nora teased, her voice muffled. "Do you want me to turn around so you can give me a massage on my front as well?" She was both curious and a bit nervous about what might happen if she turned over. But she trusted El and was eager to experience more of the elf's touch. El peeled back instantly at Nora mentioning her sex slime on her rear.

Her face became a heavy red as she was about to sputter an apology and explanation, when she heard Nora mention turning around. El froze for a moment, feeling her heart rate soar at the idea. With a gulp, El slid off of Nora's legs and nodded, though Nora obviously couldn't see it.

"I-I... um... I mean, if you're offering-..." El stammered, curling into a little ball next to Nora's legs. "I could... see what I can do for your front." El hummed, hoping to the Light she didn't mistake Nora's joke for an actual offer, when in reality, it was just a quip. Nora turned around, revealing her naked body in all of its glory. The blonde had perky breasts and a cute natural barely visible landing strip on her vulva. She blushed and tried to look away as El looked at her vulnerable body, but the truth was Nora was feeling both nervous and excited about the prospect of more intimate contact with El. She nodded slowly, her eyes locked onto the elf's.

"I trust you, El. Please, continue." El let out a gasp as she drank in the sight before her. El almost didn't hear Nora's words as she simply stared, longing to explore Nora's form in all its glory.

"Wow... you're stunning. And-... are you cold, or are you just excited to see me?" El snickered, motioning to Nora's hard nipples. El's were just as erect by now, but she didn't expect Nora's to be as well. Once more, El's eyes slid down Nora's form, until...

"O-Oh! Hey!" El suddenly squealed in excitement, moving to hoist herself onto her knees enough to point at her own landing strip, then to Nora's.

"We're twinsies! Except you're blonde. Hehehe!" El giggled, her playful nature getting the better of her.

"Alright. Get comfy, arms over your head again." El instructed warmly as she shimmied herself over to kneel over Nora's legs, gently pressing her hands onto either side of Nora's thighs. As El had done before, she gripped the sides of Nora's form with her cupped fi ngers, whilst her thumbs pressed into Nora's thighs, swirling around to release the stress built up within them.

Nora giggled at El's comment about having the same landing strip. "I think it's kind of cute that we have that in common too." She said, smiling at the elf.

"And you're gorgeous too, El. I've always thought so." Nora then put her arms underneath her head as she was told, getting comfortable for the next part of the massage. El beamed at Nora's appreciation for the pair's commonalities, her joy infl ating like a balloon! At Nora's compliment though, El had to shyly bite her lip and avert her gaze juuuust a bit to contain herself.

"Thank you, Nora. That-... really means a lot. I know the scars can be a turn off for a lot of people." El hummed, returning to the task at hand. El had reached where Nora's legs met her loins. Once more, the temptation to touch more was almost irresistible.

But, Nora trusted El, and the little Quel'dorei refused to abuse that trust. As such, El skipped over Nora's inner thighs and nether region, moving instead to gently rub her stomach and hips. It wouldn't be long before El had another conundrum on her hands, as her hands came to rest just under Nora's breasts. Biting her lip, El paused the massage, her body beginning to quiver as she thought how to proceed.

"N-Nora...? You say you trust me. For clarifi cation sake, what... is the exact thing you trust me with...?" El stammered, her gaze turning upward to meet Nora's, a look of pleading radiating from the poor horny elf. Nora gave El a confused look and said, "I trust you with a good time, El. You're my friend, and I want to enjoy this moment with you." She smiled again at the elf, hoping to reassure her.

"If you want to explore more, I trust you. We can take it slow and see where it leads." El's heart skipped a beat at those words as her eyes and mouth widened in excitement.

"Oh-! G-Good to know. I just-... was worried you meant you trusted me not to-... y'know..." El trailed off, shrugging shyly as she blushed heavily. It took her a moment to collect herself, but eventually, her body's ecstatic quivering subsided as she shot Nora a coy smile.

"So... if I were to say... do this..." El purred, reaching her hands forward to gently caress Nora's breasts in each one, using her thumbs to slide teasingly over the outer rings of Nora's stiff nips.

"... that would be okay?" Nora was a paladin, but she was no saint. Just because she had discipline, it didn’t mean she had never played with herself before. And she knew for a fact her nipples were extremely sensitive. El’s teasing touch to her rock-hard pink nipples made Nora bite her lip to keep from moaning.

"You really are a little deviant, El. Do you do this to all your clients?" Nora asked. El snickered at Nora's reaction, shooting her a coy smirk and a shrug.

"Only if they pay for it. Though the times I get to do it for free..." El trailed off as she released Nora's tits from her grasp, only to replace them by sliding her pointer fi ngers around Nora's nipples in a circular motion, clearly having noted their sensitivity. "... are so much more enjoyable."

El purred, fl icking Nora's nipples properly now before sliding her hands on either side of Nora, then leaning her head forward so she could press her forehead against Nora's. El made sure to carefully lower her nipples to press directly against Nora's, keeping her torso held up just enough so she could jiggle them around. Using this method, El would sway her breasts side to side, using the momentum to gently rub her nipples against Nora's. El let her eyes fl utter closed for a moment as the pair's nips brushed against each other, biting her lower lip as soft, gentle moans escaped through her nostrils. They'd only just begun, and El was already in pure bliss.

“Mmmmhm…” Nora moaned as the elf pressed her body into hers, their nipples perfectly aligned. Nora's fi ngers then traced the contours of El's body, feeling the ridges of the elf's scars. She knew how sensitive El was about her scars since their last encounter and she wanted her touch to be gentle and not painful for her.

As their bodies continued to press against each other and she noticed El close her eyes, Nora closed her eyes too and pressed a soft and quick kiss against the elf’s lips. Nora's eyes opened again eager to see the elf’s reaction. El was stunned for a moment, her brain seeming to have short circuited. After a second to come back to reality, El smiled wide and lunged herself forward, pressing the pair's breasts together hard as El brought Nora into a passionate kiss.

With things beginning to heat up, El would use her right leg to part Nora's thighs, then clench both of her legs around Nora's right one. The Paladin would feel El's slick juices immediately start to cover her upper thigh as El began grinding her soaked slit against Nora's skin, a quivering groan escaping through El's nose as a result. While this wasn't the way El expected this night to go, she was ELATED it had taken this surprising turn.

With their lips locked in a passionate kiss, Nora broke away for a moment to gently kiss one of El's scars, it was her way of showing her love and acceptance for her past. As they embraced each other in a passionate kiss, Nora and El also continued to explore each other's bodies and as Nora could feel the heat radiating from El's soaked slit, it only served to arouse her even more, making her moans grow louder as her pleasure built up.

“You know, I should help you feel good too. I feel too bad being the only one receiving a massage…” Nora said as she leaned over to bring her mouth to El’s nipples and took one into it, swirling her tongue around it while gently sucking. She could tell El liked it from the gasp that left the little elf’s mouth, so Nora continued to lavish attention on El's breasts, alternating between sucking and licking each nipple, her fi ngers tracing the curves of El's body as they continued to make out passionately.

El giggled lightly at Nora's words, smiling whilst shaking her head. "You're fi ne, love. Giving you a massage led to this. I couldn't be happier." El hummed, though she still let Nora take her nipple. Oh oh did El enjoy that. It wasn't just one gasp that escaped El's lips, but a cascade of them. Her eyes bulged as she groaned in pure pleasure, biting her lip as she took Nora's head into her hand and began to massage the young woman's scalp.

El's grinding would intensify as her lust exponentially grew, her hand sometimes squeezing the back of Nora's head in response to a fl ick to her nipple. "Fuck-... Nora. I- I wanna taste you..." El mewled, tilting her head to look down to Nora. "I NEED to taste you. Please..." El pleaded, her puppy-dog eyes fi lled with an extreme sense of longing. "Y-You can taste me too if you want? At the same time?" Nora, feeling the intense desire in El's voice, nodded in agreement. "Okay.” El grinned devilishly as she peeled her nipple away from Nora.

While that was enjoyable, what was about to come for both of them would be far more pleasurable. El sat up, careful to not clock Nora in the noggin as she whirled her legs out from in between Nora's own, and plopped herself riiiiight on top of Nora's entire body, with her own, now soaked pussy, placed right in front of Nora's lips..

Given her size, and Nora's natural strength, El would seem rather light to the Paladin, making it so she could still breath just fi ne despite the fact there was another being on her. With a ravenous hunger that rivaled that of a wild animal, El took Nora's legs, spread them apart, then dove in.

El's fi rst line of business was to lap up as much of Nora's lady liquids as she could get her tongue around, which wasn't that hard for El to do. It started with El slurping up the remnant that hung around Nora's thighs, teasing the human with what was to come fi rst. Once Nora's legs were clean, El would move on to the woman's folds, giving them one loooong lick right up the slit, then diving in to collect the rest of Nora's nectar.

Then came El's fi rst true prize. She pulled her tongue back, taking a moment to survey Nora's sex, then found Nora's clit. Since El was a professional at THIS activity, it only took mere moments to pinpoint Nora's sneaky bean. Her tongue would come down sloooowly on it, fi nding the center, then began to swirl in a clockwise motion. All the while, El was eagerly listening to Nora's reactions to all of this, taking note of when Nora made any noise at all, and if her body jolted in pleasure...

Feeling El's warm tongue against her folds, Nora couldn't help but moan in pleasure. “Mmmmh fuck that feels so good, El.” The shieldmaiden then reached down and grabbed El's hips, pulling the elf closer to her face as she eagerly returned the favor. Nora's tongue darted out, swirling around El's engorged clit, and with their bodies entwined in opposite ways, Nora and El pleasured each other, their moans and gasps fi lling the room. The place was fi lled with the sound of wet slurping and the scent of their combined arousal, as they pushed each other closer to the edge. El let out a giggle through her nose at Nora's words.

"I'd hope so, otherwise I'd worry for my jo-OB! Fuck-...yes!" El cooed with a surprise squeal as Nora's tongue shot forward and instantaneously hit an overly sensitive spot. Having enjoyed playing with Nora's bean, El now went for her full prize. She raised her head up, using her hands to grip Nora's rear and tilt it upwards a little bit so El could get a good angle.

With a lick to El's lips, she dove her tongue as deep into Nora's slit as she could go, a solid 4 inches probably. The horned up elf quickly began twirling her tongue inside Nora's cavern, gleefully gobbling up that tasty nectar. All the while, Nora would feel El jolt and jiggle with each and every movement Nora's tongue made, and should Nora's facial feeler venture inside of El, she would feel El's walls contract around it nearly instantly, a warning to the climax that was to come... As Nora's climax approached, her movements became more erratic, her tongue fl icking faster against El's sensitive nub.

At the same time, she could feel El stiffening around her tongue until the elf let out a loud cry, her body shuddering in ecstasy as she came hard against Nora's face. Mere seconds away, Nora’s own climax hit her, making her entire body tremble in pleasure. She continued to lick El's clit, prolonging her own orgasm as well as El's as long as she could until their bodies were rendered exhausted with the aftershocks of their intense lovemaking. El came alright, squirting all over Nora's face as her legs locked around the poor human's head.

Nora might have felt like she was drowning with how little downtime there was between the 5 torrents of lady sugar El sent her way, squealing loudly with each and every one, until the last squirt was little more than a trickle. Breathless, El collapsed on top of Nora, her head moving to simply nuzzle Nora's loins affectionately. "T-T-Thank you... Nora." El panted, barely starting to recover. "I-I uh... take it we don't tell Clare about this?" El snickered coyly, giving Nora's mound one extra lick.

Nora felt a bit guilty as she fi nally remembered her sister was sleeping in the room next door. She needed to see if she was okay. The blonde quickly got up and cleaned her face with her discarded shift, her body still trembling from the intense pleasure they had just shared, and gave El a soft kiss on the lips.

"You're right, we should keep this between us. I'll see you in the morning. Thank you again." she whispered. With that, Nora put her shift back on and hurried back to her room, making sure to close the door quietly behind her as she blew El another kiss. El gave an affirmative nod as Nora got up and told El to keep it between them. Should be easy enough, right? She was a master of confi dentiality! Totally.

"Will do, and thank YOU. I... didn't realize how much I needed that. The sex... and a friend to help me with my... condition." El hummed, offering a happy wave to Nora as she moved towards the door, returning the blown kiss to Nora as the door shut behind her. As she got there, she glanced at Clare, who was still asleep in the bed, and let out a sigh of relief. As she climbed back into bed, Nora couldn't help but think about what had just happened.

She closed her eyes, a small smile playing on her lips, her thoughts fi lled with images of El's pretty face and the feel of their bodies entwined in pleasure.

Meanwhile, El laid in the soaked bed, realizing she'd have to change the sheets in the morning now. She didn't care though. Instead, she listened to the calming pitter patter of the rain on the roof and window once more, beaming from ear to ear as she daydreamed about Nora. How'd they'd met, the way they both wanted to help each other, their shared love for nipples and landing strips.... As El fi nally began to doze off, her thoughts were fl owing gently about what else her and Nora might share in common.

Chapter 1: Unexpected in Undermine

Outfits and Characters used in this Story

Maxine

El

Maxine tended to fleeting papers upon the desk, her body bent over the rather low surface as she etched away. Goblin heights were not exactly universal, but what could you do? As she finalized, a pleased smile crossed her face and she neatly correlated them together with a few taps against the table. "That aughta do it…"El sauntered through the door of the Visitor Center, waltzing up to the front desk as she had done numerous times whilst humming a little tune. Patiently, she waited her turn on line at the receptionist desk, lost in her own world until she heard a familiar voice, snapping her out of her little bubble. Her eyes darted forward, recognizing the human in front of her in an instant. "Maxine? Maxine! Hey!" El chirped, bouncing on her toes as she offered an excited, rapid wave.Maxine was easily broken from her own focus as she heard a voice shatter the space. Turning about, she offered a warm smile and a polite bow of her head, all too pleased to see the addressing elf in her every presence. "Oh! Miss El, it is splendid to see you. What brings you down to the Undermine? Off to a shoot?"El giggled at Max's question, pulling her into a gentle hug if allowed. "Nahhhh. I've been helping out around here. The goblins needed help, and I needed supplies, so it was a win win." El explained, offering a curt nod to the goblin receptionist, who was already gathering a second stack of papers. "Believe it or not, this is my combat 'gear'. Hehehe!"Maxine was more than pleased to accept the embrace, easily returning it with palms pressed tight into the small of the elf's shoulders from behind in the process. "Well, they Cartels must be so grateful to have someone of your skill at hand. And one so pleasant on the eyes. Goblins do enjoy that trait."El chuckled as she pulled out of the hug, shaking her head with a playful pout. "I don't get many complaints, and a looooooot of compliments." El quipped, sliding over to the table to begin filling out her own paperwork. "What brings you here, Max? Fel- it's been ages since I last saw you! Sorry about the estate thing being so... delayed by the way. Anna, Nyx, and I have all been VERY busy."“Oh. I was just finalizing a few payments on a loft I was renting in town. I do enjoy the city life down here, so I've moved a small space for myself into this wing of Undermine.” Maxine explained.El quirked an eyebrow at Max's words as she flipped to the second page of the paperwork. "Oh? I didn't realize they had housing for sale down here! I guess that makes sense, given there are probably a lot of-... recent vacancies." El snickered, signing her name at the bottom of the page before flipping to the third and final one. "I love it down here, and not just because it's in one MASSIVE cave! It's so... unique compared to the rest of Azeroth!"“Indeed. It's not really an impressive space, mind you. But... It's more or less mine. I enjoy the city lights, the sounds, and the interesting stories you hear at one of the many bars littering this space. I've even taken some ventures to the other spans of the Undermine, and it's all the more fascinating.” Maxine said, watching as El scribbled away.El finished filling out her form and handed it to the receptionist, standing back upright to face Max proper. "I've mostly stuck to helping in the fight. Now that I think about it-... I haven't really just walked the streets, or even gone to a bar yet. I've mainly just fought, crashed at the Intercontinental, rinse and repeat..." El trailed off, thinking for a moment before her eyes lit up with an idea. "You know of any chill spots we could check out? I don't have my meeting with my supplier 'till tomorrow afternoon, so I have plenty of time! I-If it wouldn't interrupt your business of course."Maxine sort of sneered a little uncertain look at the idea of walking the streets casually. "I would never advise walking the streets in most of the city. It's still a little... seedy. Though, it is Undermine, from what I've heard, the seeds are baked in," She hummed a little laugh, "And of course! We could go by my place. It's a fairly good space. Plenty to see, plenty to do."El chuckled with a nod at Max's joke. "From what I heard, it's wise to not do it alone, but fair enough. One can't be too careful I suppose. How far is your place?" El hummed, motioning towards the door. "Should we call a cab, or just make a mad dash for it? Hehehe!"Maxine chuckled slightly before responding. “It's towards the flats. We could get a lift there, but more-or-less the stretch isn't too bad if you take the main road.”“Since you know where it is, I'll leave it up to you! I don't mind either way.” El hummed with a nod!“Then off we go…”

Chapter 2: Fingering the Flats

With that, the pair set off towards Maxine’s home. Never wanting the moment to become awkward, she struck up a conversation. ”So, what drew you to Undermine initially? Did they flag you down in Dornagol too?”Maxine shook her head. “No. I did some pin-ups for a goblin company in Booty Bay some time back. I retained their card, and reached out to them once the whole debacle started.”El gasped in excitement, clasping her hands together! “Uuuuuu! I forgot you did shoots too! What company?”“Darkrock Pictures. Lovely group.”El canted her head, curious. “I don't think I've heard of them! Think you can get me an in?” El cooed coyly, playfully nudging Maxine's side.“Perhaps” Maxine mused. “Though, in truth... I had considered opening my own.”“Oh! Even better! Are you taking investors? Or are you going to keep it privately owned?”“I may! I certainly don't know what I'm doing just yet.”“Fair enough. If you need a little business help, I'm more than happy to offer some! Fel- you can even use Divine Delights for some shoots once the renovations are done.”“I'd appreciate it!” Maxine hummed as the pair arrived at their destination. “Welcome to the Flats. My little slice of comfort in this city.”

El took a look around, a wide smile breaking onto her face. "It's-... oddly peaceful, at least by comparison to the rest of Undermine. I like it!" She hummed, canting her head at the Yeti that seemed to be looking right in her direction. "I don't think I've been to this part of town before. It seems relatively intact, so it must have been spared much of the fighting."

Maxine nodded along, giving her own peaceful smile. Even in a grungy space like this, Maxine could see the sheer beauty in near anything. "Indeed, it's a lovely space in an otherwise crowded city. The Greaseguard family runs their own animal trade here, and that seems to drive many people away. But, I found it enticing more than anything."El smirked towards Max at the mention of the trade, then looked back at the beasts gathered. "That's the goblins for ya. They'll find any way to make gold, even if it's trading a-... cursed stag for it." El chuckled, pointing towards the Stag behind the pair. "Usually, I'm not a fan of cages... But it's not like anything else can hold these things. And I'm sure they're well taken care of, since they need to be healthy to sell, right?"

“From what I gather, they're at least tended to well enough. Now, come along.” Maxine hummed, motioning for El to follow.

El nodded at Max as she did as told. “Good.”Maxine entered the top floor, pushing aside a makeshift guard and welcomed herself into a rather shabby but overall vibrant space. Odds and ends, nicknacks and assorted findings littered the room, as well as sparse books and a humble work table settled itself to a corner of the room. And, dead center was perhaps the only thing of luxury and style: a bed of impressive make and several clusters of pillows and blankets. "Welcome."

El looked around the room as the pair entered, letting out a little whistle as she did. "I like it! Quaint, functional-, uuuu! That bed looks super comfy!" El chirped in excitement, her eyes instantly darting from the bed to the work table. "What ya workin' on there?" El asked, pointing to said table.“Oh! More of my writing. Perhaps a story of a small town Gilnean girl being taken in by the sin of the big city.” Maxine explained.The pair giggled.“Now THAT'S a story I'd be interested in reading. What kind of sin are we talkin' about exactly?” El inquired, winking coyly.“Gambling, debauchery... The fun ones.” Maxine said, smirking.“Hehehehe! Definitely my kind of read then.” El giggled, her attention moving towards some of the nicknacks on a shelf, pointing to one of them. "What's that?"Maxine looked to the shelf, clicking her tongue once as she considered them. "Oh, just some trinkets I've picked up over time. I thought they'd be better displayed here than the tower. Perhaps I could find some collector of a kind here that would find them interesting."El offered a shrug at Max's idea to sell, moving away from the trinkets. "I'd say it depends on how much you can get for them. If you like the way they look, I'd say keep them there, unless the price for them is just too damn good." El suggested, as she slid towards the open balcony, taking a look at the view...

El shrugged. “Who knows? Not a bad view either! I bet you could get some free Demolition Dome viewing if you got on the roof!”Maxine joined her companion outside, moving to loop one arm around the small of the woman's back and cradle her. Her chin came to nestle into the crook of El's neck as she pressed her frame against the elf's back; her breath hummed warm against the back of El's ear. "Mmm... Yeah. It's a lovely sight... You should have seen it a few weeks ago. There was this whole scene with a giant robot and a gorilla..."El smirked back at Max as her body was gently gripped, leaning back into it with a soft exhale. At the mention of a gorilla and robot fighting, El couldn't help but giggle. "And THAT right there is why we love this place. It's so wacky! You just can't find that anywhere else on Azeroth." El hummed, her gaze turning towards the center of the square below. She canted her head a little, bringing both her hands up to form a little square, like she was sizing up a photograph in her mind. "You know what would really bring this little space to the next level? A fountain in the middle. Then my little exhibitionalist ass could take a bath right in the middle of the square." El snickered, letting her hands fall to her sides once more. "Though I can settle for standing naked over everyone down below as well... Hehehehe!"

Maxine remained close, simply breathing El in. Between her inhales, the soft curl of her heated breath danced against the small of El's neck. A neck that--once canted amidst the elf's efforts to review the space of the Flats--was seized upon. Lips clasped against the porcelain tone of El's collar, lips alone pulsated upon her skin. The faint flick of a tongue pressed between the plump lips assailing the skin briefly broke the muted hums as she kissed in fluttering dabs against the offered neck. "I'll say I enjoy the view myself as is..."El took in a soft yet swift inhale as Maxine's lips locked onto her neck, the little elf's eyes fluttering shut as she embraced the moment. The tingling tongue tickles caused the whole of El's form to quake, eliciting a shy snicker though her nose. "Fair enough." El chirped, letting her eyes open just a smidge to gaze down at the ground once more. The pair had seemed to have garnered the attention of one of the male goblin workers, his eyes locked onto the human and elf. El chuckled in her throat, smirking devilishly. "Seems we've been noticed. Up to put on a little show? Or would you rather take this back inside to keep it between us?" El purred, her right hand reaching back above her head to gently caress Maxine's hair, fingers quick to begin swirling through the playfully short strands.Maxine did not answer with a single spoken word. Her purpose was clear, and her method was well decided. From around the lithe frame of the elf, Maxine coiled both her hands out; each aimed for their own unique goals. One hand snaked up along El's form, brushing and caressing upon the exposed mounds--taking aim to flick her thumb against one perked nipple upon her path--before clasping around the woman's chin. Her fingers tautly held, latching to her jaw in aims to tilt her one way, offering her 'shy' lips to aside so Maxine could catch them with her own. She veraciously supped upon them, pricking her lips against one corner to the next, softly moaning into the vacant lips. All the while, her other hand scanned south, finding hearth upon the waiting slit. Her fingers fluttered at the gate, ruttering the pink petals of Petal whilst her palm rolled about the waiting clit; catching it to the ridge of her palm and plying it over all the while her fingers parted and strummed the elf's cunt.El went to nibble on her own lower lip as Maxine's hands began to slide away to explore the small Quel'dorei's form, a sharp exhale escaping her nostrils as that thumb grazed the exposed poker atop El's bountiful breast. The nibble would be abruptly cut off as El felt Max's fingers clamp around her chin. With a deviantly shy blush, El gave in to the kiss, eagerly lapping her tongue against Maxine's and darting deep into the woman's maw, if allowed the chance to explore of course. When Maxine's other hand lowered down to feel El's slit, she'd find a surprise, should she not remember their first encounter. Where El's clit should be, was a pre-slimed, buzzing blue gem, the vibrations of which would increase dramatically as Max's fingers pressed in on its face. The abrupt increase would cause El to squirm, squealing through her nostrils as her left hand shot down to grab at Max's loin-explorer, though she did not pull it away. Rather, she just gripped it tight as her body began to gingerly quiver eeeever so slightly. With a quick flash of daring, El would pull her lips back from their embrace, breathing heavily as she looked longingly into Maxine's pupils with 'fuck me' eyes. "C-care to join me in the-... exhibition?" El cooed, her raised right hand sliding down from Max's hair to tug at her jacket's collar teasingly. From below, the clang of a scooping shovel hitting the pavement could be heard, as the goblin onlooker's jaw dropped at the same moment.Maxine spoiled for El's laps in return, granting her full access to her maw with her pleading laps. She met each graceful dig with her own tongue pressing the dexterous muscle back; letting their swirling lusts mingle and meld within the churning pot of their lips. The buzz battering against her palm only invited her to dig upon it deeper, rutting it hard into El's form while her fingers peeled her cavern open, allowing for her middle-most finger to crane across the slobbering gash. She furled and flicked upon the opening, egging El's lust out from it and splattering what coated her finger across the plated flooring and low to the dirt far beneath them in cascading sprinkles. Upon hearing El's proposal, Maxine purred low and nipped her lips back upon El, this time holding her by the soft span of her neck, threatening to leave a single mark there, but more over let the elf feel the thrumming hum of her touch through her throat. "Mmmm... No... I want to spoil you here and now... I want you to cry out to this city that whenever you come to protect... You also will now come here to please your mistress..."El's legs began to buckle as Maxine's middle digit dipped and dove around the little elf's cavern, teasing the poor girl's slippery slit to the point El's eyes began to roll into the back of her head. Due to the impromptu kneeling, El's body leaned back into Max's, pressing her bare lower back against the human's cold belt buckle, prompting a small 'eep!' to escape El's lips before she slowly lowered herself onto the cold metal once more, warming it with her body. Hopefully Maxine would catch her, lest they both take a tumble. At the leaching of Maxine's lips to El's neck, El's eyes snapped shut as she bit her lower lip hard, feeling the deepness of her loins beginning to contract. "I-... I promise-! I'll c-come knocking so you c-can show these cartels h-... how us Alliance do it-!" El squealed as her legs contracted harshly. Maxine's masterful work was about to be rewarded as moments later, torrents of El's lady sugar shot from the little elf's sex as though shot out of an X-treme Water Blaster, spewing out onto the edge of the balcony as it created a small 'water' fall. One long squirt was quickly followed up by a sharp second one, only cut off as El took in a breath, then set forth another spring of girl cream from her geyser. All the while, more Greaseguard employees had halted their duties, some looking up to the pair in shock, others in excitement. None dared to show disgust, for fear of what the others may think or say. An interesting transaction, to be sure.Maxine kept playing El as masterfully as ever. Her fingers twirled upon the quivering gate, rolling down the sodden lips with effortless ease and trilling the spasming quilm. When El tumbled back, Maxine was quick to adjust her arm to catch her, letting her rest upon her shoulder for but a moment. But only a moment, as she moved her arm low, wrapping it around the haunch of the little elf's leg and splayed it upward, bringing it to rest over the railing. She put El up on display, treating her like a fine trophy while she sprayed her arousal over the property's edge. She kept her splayed as such through her entire rigger, rutting her finger now entirely into the spasming sex, flexing upon taut walls and eager nerves. "You are wonderful, Miss El... I can't stop myself from playing you so much..."A cheer erupted from below as Maxine repositioned El's leg to spread to the crowd of onlookers, the little El taking a moment to gaze down at them and blush HEAVILY! It had been a while since she'd been seen like this by so many eyes. It was exhilarating, her heart now pumping out of her bare chest because of it. With Maxine sliding her finger deeply into El's quivering hole, the elf's torso folded on itself, causing her head to lower as her tits dangled over the edge of the balcony, perfectly visible to any and all onlookers now. At Maxine's words, El couldn't help but giggle breathlessly, turning her head to look back, but was barely able to do so as a second climactic wave began to broil within El's nethers, forcing her forward once more. "T-Thank you-... Max-... Fuck-!" El squeaked as her body gave way once more, her loins becoming as a showerhead for the lucky audience below. "I-... f-f-feel I owe you now. Hehehe-hgnn-!..." The little elf stammered, reaching back to grip hard on Maxine's belt, pulling at it. "I w-wanna see your tits-.... Fuck-, it's been so long... I-... adore them, Max. P-Please? Join me?" El pleaded as she rose her left hand up to give a playful squish to her own bare booba, while her right hand sank down to replace the empty space on Maxine's hand El's left one had left.Maxine listened to each submitting sound that echoed from El as she toyed away at the elf. Her middle most finger was joined by a second, now each pistoning in and out of the gushing gash, letting the harsh squelches it emanated to fill the enriched air of the underground metropolis. It was no secret the goblins partook in skin flicks and pin-up pieces, but a true display of such delights was something else. Max did not pause a moment amidst her flittering in and out of El's sodden slit, ushering her well beyond each and every release while her thumb motioned across her rumbling toy, pressing upon it like a button and matching its every humming cry. "Shall I let you in on a secret, Miss El...?" Maxine spoke sultry into the crook of her elf's neck before feathering kiss upon kiss there, marring it and leaving tender little trails there. All the while, she allowed for the needy woman to tug and remove her belt. The dull thud of her pants was of little interest as Maxine's lower half was brought to bare in its entire bare. Milky toned legs pressed softly into the small of El's rear, lacing the slick arousal of her pussy against the waiting peach of El's ass. In the same effort, Max all but shrugged her jacket off, and used the faintest flick to her button to let her buxom chest to pop free. At once, her full tits pressed into El's back, giving them a mix of cool and warmth as the silvered nubs of her teats pressed into her shoulder blades.El scrunched her eyes closed for a moment, doing her damned best to concentrate. She held her left hand up to her chest now, as a small cloud of chi mist shot from her finger tips. It wasn't much but it was enough to get the job she desired done. The moment after the cloud escaped her fingers, it would split off and cover her gloves, boots, shoulderpad, and cloak. As the mist faded, it took those items with it, leaving only El's flower crown and buzzing piercing on her person, the latter of which would suddenly increase in ferocity with every deliberate tap to its face. All the while, El's sex squelched and slopped within Maxine's grasp, the human's fingers now complexly coated with El's spring-water. At Maxine's question, El could only nod in approval, almost violently so as she felt the belt come loose. Her right hand shot out to the side, stiff as a board as, once more, the little elf's brain short circuited, or however that goblin saying went. Upon hearing the shuffle of cloth and the subsequent plop of it on the ground, El backed into Maxine's torso, the feeling of perky flesh and cool metal on her back sending trills of excitement down her spine. El's sex was beginning to ache now, delaying her next climax, though she still squirmed for the crowd's entertainment, from which another roar of approval erupted from.Maxine quietly removed her fingers from the slit, letting it breathe for the first time in some while. She parted from it with a sounding 'plap' as she clapped her palm upon it, letting one last splatter cascade against the air. Though, she was far from done. Newly freed, her hand mimicked a motion from before, lofting under El's last leg and hoisted it up over the railing--now leaving the elf entirely at the mercy of the unsecure, shuddering railing while her body relied on falling back against Maxine. She was on full display, a lewd, lurid billboard for all onlookers to see--cunt spread wide with ankles caught against the chilling steel. A cool breeze could catch against El's fully displayed core, though only for the briefest of moments before Max slinked her palm out from beneath El, coming to comb her fingers across her quivering cunt and resuming her pistoned play from a new, lewd angle. She strummed her like a violin, letting her every drop fall and splatter to the open air. Maxine craned her lips to caress against El's ear, nibbling it just-so as she cooed a sultry sound into it. Hot, heavy, earnest "I have always had a crush on you, Miss El... I wanted to spoil you, and wrote pages of poetry in your name... I wanted to share many intimate moments with you... And I longed to feel you succumb upon my fingers, and beg against my lips..."El gasped as Maxine pulled her hand from El's slit, her entire torso raising and falling with each heavy breath now. Though the cool, still air of the cavern prevented any sweat from forming on El's person, her lower half would be completely steeped in another bodily fluid. The Quel'dorei's head flopped lazily as Maxine repositioned her, the motion prompting little more than a soft and curious 'hmm?' from escaping El's nose. She offered no resistance, seeming to completely trust in Maxine to not drop her off the side of the building. El snuck another glance down towards the group of eager onlookers, most now hollering and cheering, throwing their fists in the air or offering a round of applause at the more exposed angle. Upon feeling Maxine's fingers begin to pluck at her pussy lips once more, El's form would shiver and quake as her now overly stimulated and sensitive slit prepared for another dance it was unsure it was ready to offer, but yet offered no resistance. All the while, El latched onto each of Maxine's words, her gaze flickering to look up and to the right, trying to get a glimpse of Maxine, but ultimately falling short. Upon actually comprehending the words Max spoke, El blushed once more, chuckling breathlessly. "D'awww, Max. I-ghnn... I always felt similar. I h-have a weakness for r-r-red hair. Hehehe!" El snickered, raising both her hands up now to gently caress either side of Maxine's head. "I'd love-... nothing more than to hear-... you read these poems, as I taste you... savor you..." El trailed off, her knees beginning to quiver over the railing as her lower half jolted back into Maxine's form for but a second, before shooting forward and spraying a fresh shower of El's spunk over the cheering crowd once more.Maxine plucked away, peeling harsh yet pointed strums against Petal's petals one way... then the other... and another... Scraping harsh 'licks' in a clockwise pattern once, twice, again and again. Each pluck bringing El's lower end to follow suit to the stum before just as quickly snapping back; she played her perfectly, making the slut gyrate along her touch. She made El a feast of the senses while giving her an orchestra of pleasures. She layered kiss upon kiss along El's collar, giving the elf a 'necklace' of marked graces that would not soon depart "I mean it, Miss El..." She spoke softly, giving the slutty elf a cooling kiss to the edge of her lips "Whilest you're in my abode, hidden away from the rest of the world alongside me... Let us make love, and listen to the other's heart flutter like nothing else..."El could barely comprehend Maxine's words as her climax eased once more, though its cause did not relent. With the now several torrents of lady sugar coating the railing, there was bound to be a mishap at some point. In readjusting her left foot's position as she listened to Maxine speak, El planted it right on where a substantial amount of her spunk laid, an unfortunate placement. As El's mind caught up to Maxine's words, her eyes fluttered open, not looking at the crowd, or up to Max, but straight ahead, as she remained silent, her foggy brain trying to think on what to say whilst she made that motion with her foot, causing the little elf to slip, sending her left foot over the edge as her rear sunk down into Maxine's form, who would hopefully catch the flailing elf, otherwise El's rear would get a bruise. "Ah! Max-!" El squealed in shock, true fear ripping through her scream as she fell backward.
Max was many things, and athletic was far from one of them. Yet still, in the moment of feeling the weight shift from El, the author felt a swell hit upon

Chapter 3:

El greedily held tight to Maxine as she walked El back inside the apartment, the sound of a disappointed crowd rippling through the still air for but a moment as they dissipated. Not that El cared. She was far too entranced to, as she pressed her bare tits against Maxine's, swaying her torso side to side as Max walked, clipping her nipples against the human's before being plopped onto the bed with a little 'oof' escaping her lips. And jiggle she did, with El's breasts and curves bouncing on the lovely bed for more than a few mere moments. Feeling the damp warmth on her cheeks beginning to cool, El rose her hands to her face and quickly scrubbed away the tears stains that were beginning to form. She felt stupid for having cried, pathetic even, but that thought was washed away the moment Maxine fell atop El's form, prompting a joyous smile from the little elf. She too had desperately desired this for so long, but had never been able to go about it correctly. Now though, all that foolish fear faded away as El rose both her hands up and under Max's to gently clasp them along Maxine's back, lightly locking the human into place. El's eyes darted over all of Maxine's form that was visible to her at the moment. Her eyes, her lips, her breasts... until finally falling on Maxine's... underarms. With an embarrassed blush, El let her right hand slip down off Maxine's back and slide under her armpit, caressing it gently. "I know... I'm weird... But I like shaved lady armpits." El blurted out, clearly having decided to throw all caution to the wind. She was needy indeed.For what seemed like an eternity, Maxine simply looked at El. Her hair streamed out under her, framing her form in the soft ocean of her own making, the pink splashes against her visage as care gave way to desire. An eternity would not be enough to relish seeing what she desired now laid before her. A palm caressed along the stretch from El's heaving cleavage, across her throat, and up to press against her lips. Her touch was ginger, but deliberate--longing. A single nail raked a pattern against El's lower lip before rolling free and cupping her cheek, tilting her up to look into Maxine's longing, smoldering eyes of sapphire "Then I'll be sure to keep them perfectly shaven every time you visit my nest, Rokh..."
(Zandali meaning "world")El shivered as she felt Maxine's finger trace her breasts, giggling shyly as she felt it slide up her neck and press against her lip. It pulled her gaze away from Maxine's armpit for that moment, instead gazing longingly into her eyes with a big, dumb smile. That was until Maxine spoke, the first words prompting a heavy blush to flush El's freckled face, but the final word made the little elf's eyebrows peak. "You-... You know Zandali?" El inquired without thinking, before moving to bite her tongue and avert her gaze once more. "S-Sorry. I shouldn't interrupt the moment. Nevermind." El stammered, her averted gaze moving to glance at Maxine's underarms once more, greedily. "M-May I?" El asked politely, nodding towards Maxine's pit shyly.Maxine was tender as she rolled her digit to catch El's fleeing visage as shame perhaps took her. Times gone by, perhaps El would be scolded by her lovers or keepers to not speak out of turn, or to hold her tongue whilst they indulged in carnal desires. But Maxine desired El in all facets, and she was infatuated with the ways that tongue waged. Catching her by her chin to look back into her eyes, Maxine cooed before pecking her lover once upon her lips--loosening them with a few flexes of her jaw. As she departed, a faint string of her saliva laced between them before severing and forming a line down the elf's chin "I do... And never hesitate to talk while we make love... I love the way you speak during, and the cute squeaks you give between those words when I pluck you just right..." With that, she offered the span of flesh El desired so, peeling her arm up wider and giving the elf a subtle nod.El blushed HEAVILY as Maxine mentioned her squeaks, causing the little elf to shoot both her hands over her face to playfully hide it as she let out one of said squeaks! "Okay. I more meant interrupting sex with a random thought, but if you're okay with it..." El trailed off smiling lightly as she was offered her coveted prize. With a shiver and a nod, El would lean her whole torso forward, aiming to, if allowed, have Max move to sit up rather than hang over her for now. If allowed, El would slowly extend her tongue, nervously keeping her eyes locked with Maxine's for a moment, giggling. Only then did she inch forward enough to connect the tip of her tongue with Maxine's underarm. Her eyes fluttered closed as she slid her tongue tip down to the base of Maxine's pit, then flattened it before sliding the slick thing upward, fully lapping the entire length of Maxine's armpit. All the while, El slid both her arms around Maxine's waist, holding her close as El enjoyed what she had desired for so long. Her breathing was soft, gentle, yet calculated, careful to exhale only once her nose was far enough away from the saliva left behind to not make it chilled by said breath. This... This was heaven.It was abundantly clear Maxine was in control of this whole scene. El was putty in her hands, and her toy to wield as she so wished. Yet, she was generous and doting; she allowed El her prizes, allowed the elf to guide her to a seat so better to enjoy her stretch of flesh. Small dotted stubbled bumps met El's tongue, and each lap that languished elected a subtle sighing giggle from Maxine--one a mix of longing and a faint tickle. Her other hand rolled lower, copping one of El's breasts between her own greedy fingers. Kneading the titflesh, she alternated flexing her fingers against the plush confines and gracing feathered rips against her peak.As El felt Maxine's cool fingers grip her breast, her tongue would gently peel itself away from its current plaything, her gaze turning now to face Maxine's bodacious badonkadonks that now sat before her. El's face, once again, filled with blush as her eyes locked onto the nipple piercings that adorned Max's breasts, so shiny that El could swear she could see her reflection in them perfectly. "You are... far braver than me, Max. I couldn't bear to let a needle go through my nips." El purred, her eyes sliding up to stare longingly into Maxine's own. While her gaze remained locked onto the human's face, El slid her head forward, her tongue extending once again, but with a new target. Only after El tasted the metal that clung to Maxine's nipples did El's eyes shutter closed, her lips moving to enclose around Maxine's left breast. The little elf's tongue teasingly flicked the nip-tip a couple times, then reoriented itself to the very edge of Max's silver-pierced pearl. Slowly, El's tongue would slide in a circle, clockwise around the bumpy edge, aiming to extend the pleasure El could offer it.The author purred. Like a cat who got her cream, Maxine was oh-so pleased. Whilest one palm kneaded the plump tit-flesh of the elf, her other hand tenderly caressed El's features. Her thumb rolling a sweet line across the elf's lips, passing gentle warmth upon them before they sinned so intently upon her nipple. The sensation of metallic cool and scintillating warmth as El's lips began their work was orgasmic to the author, sending her toes to curl as a low growl echoed through her throat. "Rokh, I would make any sacrifice to entice someone like yourself..." Her tone, a sultry coo meant only for the elf's ears while she continued to nurse upon milky teats.

The monk moaned through her nose as she twirled her tongue ever so closer to its bullseye, the tone morphing into a snicker in the girl's throat as she felt the motion of Maxine's feet curling through the mattress behind her. El must have been doing a good job to garner a reaction as such. Her hands reached around the author's legs, the elf's digits suddenly gripping a hefty helping of Maxine's ass cheeks within them as the tip of her tongue finally slicked over Max's nipple proper, glazing it with El's warm, yet slimy saliva. With a purr, El would increase her suction on the tit, then slide her head back until her lips unclasped from Max's left breast with a loud 'pop'. "Hmmm-hehehe... That's a dangerous promise, love." El sung, her gaze reaching up to meet Maxine's once more. A lustful haze hung over her eyes, but a warm, calming smile still found it's way to break through it. "For now though, let's skip drastic measures. I believe you mentioned having poetry you wrote for me? I... would love to hear it... while my tongue tastes and explores the depths of your pussy. I wanna hear you... stutter and stammer through the pleasurable groans I gift you, Max... Please?"For that moment of lurid play as El supped upon Maxine's nipple, the author mewled a pleased roll of her lips. The pleasure was mounting, and the rub of her silvered aid as well as the eager efforts of El simply sent Maxine. The muscles of her ass went taut in the skillful--wantful grip of El whilest pleasure washed through Maxine from toe to tip. Her lips labored upon the slow moan echoing through her, wanting it to last just a moment longer before El so rudely ended her bliss. But, she'd be forgiven, as Maxine was treated to those lovely eyes, and that precious voice. For her part, she did not interrupt, did not dissuade El's request--she merely let her speak her heart's desire. When all was said, Maxine faltered her hand from El's breast and trailed it up along the plush of the woman' s breast until she could hook a finger under El's chin, ushering her closer until she snared her lips snug against the elf's own. She held her there, lavishing swift lashes of her longing tongue upon El's lips before departing her* "Feast on me, Rokh... And I will serenade you... Oftentimes I play at the stutters and stammers I have while making love, to make my partner relish it all the more... But I will do no such thing with you. Know that every halted word, every blissful pause is genuine..."As she felt Maxine's finger slide up her chest and hook under her chin, a wave of excitement washed over the little elf. Her eyes slid shut, giving herself over to Maxine's tongue upon her lips for as long as the author desired. Only once Maxine began to speak did El dare to part her eyelids, the words spoken bringing a genuinely wholesome smile to the girl's lips. "As you wish, love." El cooed in a whisper, leaning her face upward until she was level with Maxine's eyeline, her lips a single breath away. Her right hand rose up, pressing it's fingertips gently on the center of Maxine's chest. "Rest back. Summon those sultry, sinful sonnets for me." As she spoke, El would push against Maxine's torso whilst leaning forward herself, aiming to put Maxine on her back. If allowed, El would press herself down atop Maxine's form, breasts on breasts, but only for a short while. Just enough time for the monk to steal a soft, gentle kiss from the redhead's lips. As they parted, a soft 'smack' would echo over the pair, as El began to lower herself down Maxine's body. Her lips would hover close to Max's skin, her lips gently pecking at Maxine's neck as it passed by, then her collar, then chest. As she lowered past Maxine's breasts, her hands would cup their outer sides, pressing them together with a sly giggle. A flick of El's tongue would be gifted to both nipples, before she continued lower still, her target oh so clear, but making no rush to get there.Maxine was far from the most pliable partner. She would always keep things interesting and erratic within the throes of passion. But for this evening--for this partner--she was amicable--agreeable. She followed El's lead, laying herself out upon the bed, only offering the smallest of token resistance with her legs splaying wide to either side and rising to caress the slip frame of her lover; her milky thighs saddling against El's hips while her lips partook in her elven partner's. The touch was brief, but it still ushered a hum of satisfaction from the author; one that repeated and played upon the next as scintillating kisses fell upon every sin-hot inch of her skin. Each peck allowed another shuddering sigh to flow free of Maxine's lips like a stream. Her exposed petals down low twitched in anticipation, their essence pooling against their bloom; sweetening the pot for El to feast upon in due time "Petal, sweetiest bloom within the field... A garden sweet cannot compare the ambrosia of your grandeur... How my fingers prey to pluck and preen Petals petals and make them bloom... For me, and she..."El continued to lower herself as the poem began, feeling Maxine's legs slip softly around her form. Despite her teasing gesture, the monk listened intently, soaking in the lines leaving Max's lips as her own sunk down to plant another sensually short kiss onto the author's stomach, just above her belly button. The next would be planted atop that miniature hole, El letting out a soft exhale through her nose as she shifted her lower half further down the bed. Her hands would wrap gently around the backs of Maxine's thighs, her thumbs giving them a calming massage as El lowered herself further, another kiss meeting Maxine's flesh. This one was just below Max's stomach, where her belts once were fastened. The next? Centered perfectly onto Maxine's mound. This is where El would pause once more, her eyes darting up to gaze towards Maxine's face, giddy for her reaction. At the same time, her hands would slide forward, moving from their grip along the back of Maxine's thighs, to instead grip them from the front, pulling them apart ever so slightly. "Its... been so long since someone called me by that name. By the stars, I missed it." El purred, her sultry smile growing a bit. "That was lovely, Maxine. I can tell you've put a great deal of thought into it."The playful breaths and toying touches against Maxine's core brought pleased titters from the author, all the while she fought her urge to reflexably pull herself into a ball as she was tickled. She desired nothing less than to spoil the elf's play, much less take away the closeness they shared. Luckily, such worries would fade as she felt the plying strokes of El against her thighs, electing small coos of passing delight; a delight that would escalate to a subtle yelp of glee as she was spread all the more open. All that awaited El was Maxine's own slathered sex, a bloom glistening with trickling nectar held just-so in their eager petals for elven lips to delve upon "I put a great deal of thought into you, Rokh-Petal... Your beauty, your grace, your smile, your voice... They are my lullaby, and my safe haven..."

A blush once again enveloped the little elf's freckled face as Maxine spoke again, lowering her left cheek down to nuzzle Maxine's mound affectionately with it. "Was that one just off the top of your head? You have a wonderful talent, Maxine. I'm sad I didn't learn of it, firsthand, sooner." El purred, her nuzzling coming to an end as her thought left her lips. Her mouth had a new task now. The monk peeled her gaze away from Maxine's face, her eyes flickering as her true prize awaited her just mere inches away. El's hands would once more change positions, this time returning to their place on the back of Maxine's legs, where they would press up and away as to raise and split Maxine's loins as the bow of a ship would split an ocean's wave. With a lick to her lips, El extended her tongue, tilting her head back ever so slightly so the tip could reach as close to the pussy part of Maxine's perineum as possible. As El's tongue tip pressed gently onto her desired spot, it would quickly flatten, then slowly slide upwards, gleefully absorbing Maxine's glistening nectar onto the elf's buds. The taste was intoxicating, forcing El to employ all the self control she had as to not send her tongue diving down into Maxine's slippery slit. Rather, she would slither her buds along the lips of Maxine's loins, swerving side to side until El found herself at Max's clit. The moment such spot was discovered, the elf's tongue would harden, its tip becoming sharp once more, then plunge directly onto the elusive bean, beginning to swirl clockwise in tune with El's heartbeat. A pace she prayed she shared with Maxine's own.In these moments, Maxine was putty before El. Every shift of her palm, every nuzzling grace of her cheek against the scintillating inner thigh of her lover, everything... It was permitted and damn near demanded with a fluttering heart. The final pluck to her heart came when she was strung wide for El's amusement, displaying her whole pussy for the elf to enjoy--a sight El did not linger too long upon before she seized upon her opportunity. Her seizing of the moment brought with Maxine's own seizing--her body in longing bliss. Her core flexed, making the nectar of her slit splatter a dappling spritz against El's freckled features. She needed little coaxing to shudder a subtle song from her lips, delighting in every minute motion El employed. Her slit welcomed every effort with subtle flexes and ample streams of nectar to wash upon El's eager muscle* "Too long is my curse, to see you take lover in sultry embrace, longing to hear you cry mine own name in--ffff--swisting passions, too long is my curse... Break it, and break myself upon you... My only desire."El giggled as she felt the flicks of Maxine's sex-stream pepper her face, not at all stopping her continued tongue twirling as she listened to Maxine's next poem. This one striking a sad cord within El's mind. How long had Maxine suffered such feelings to call it a curse? She paused her tonguing, her eyes looking up to Maxine's. If they were within reach, El would caress Max's hands, giving them a gentle squeeze. "Suffer no more, Love. Your patience has paid off." El purred, her fingers moving to gently tickle at Maxine's palms. "I adore you, Maxine. Your mind, body, and soul. Let this curse be lifted." El cooed, her face once more lowering down to focus on her desire. Her tongue extended, giving one last playful flick to the poet's clit, then slithered eagerly deep into Maxine's pussy pit. The tight, slick walls excited the little elf, whose desire to discover ignited once again. The first leg of her exploration was to follow the line of Maxine's lower lips, lapping up the last remaining vestiges of her spunk. Only once Max was properly cleaned did El dive deeper, exchanging her up-and-down tactic for a side-to-side motion, aiming to open up those walls a little so she could venture down further still.Maxine's fingers tangled with El's own, ephemeral as their contact was. They both knew well neither one could last in such tender grasps... They were beasts of carnal want, even if the gentle lingers of tender caresses were a salve upon their aching desires "Then break the curse, Rokh... And break my pussy into your shape..." Her sultry tone trilled her sinful desire. Profane and only for 'Petal's' ears. That same sultry trill escalated as her head fell back to mesh against the mattress, the throes of lust wracking through her as El began her work. The taut, flexing walls of Maxine's depths eagerly welcomed El in, lavishing her flexing muscle with their sticky, sweet walls. Each nerve pulsed and played at the twitching explorer, pressing their own desires upon her--granting the elf the unreal sensation of lavished tongues lathering every bump of her own as she swam freely within her.As El heard Maxine's plea. her peeled her tongue away for but a moment, just long enough to speak. "Oh, Maxine... You have no idea how long I've wished for this." the monk purred, then darted herself once more down deep into Maxine's cavern. Her nose poked playfully at the author's clit, wiggling along it to add to the stimulation as her tongue ventured further inward. Deeper... deeper... and deeper still, until Maxine felt El's lips envelop her lower ones, her oral tentacle having sheathed itself as far down as it possibly could. El swirled it around for a moment more, absorbing Maxine's sultry taste, then froze in place. After a few moments of silence and stillness, Maxine would suddenly feel a vibration reverberate through her loins, emanating from El's tongue as she began to hum a gentle tune, her siren serenade acting as a biological buzzer to try and slide Maxine over the edge.Maxine's throat tensed as pleasure beat harsh against her chest. Each breath was labored and laced with her mounting pleasure, relishing upon each needful flex and sensual ply. Every motion was met with her pussy's drooling walls tightly latching to El's tongue, 'kissing' it and lavishing its own wealth of 'tongues' upon it. As the elf feasted, so too did the sweltering depths of Maxine's pussy. The author reached low, tracing her fingers through El's hair and entangling each digit into the strands until she held a tight snatch of her lover's hair. She held the elf there, a messy mop she made of her hair as she shuddered titanic groans with each micro-orgasm that ripped through her "Fu-uuu...El is what name you greet with, what name you print upon every paper graced with your presence. How b-befitting and profetting, as El-my-El it is L I feel. Love, love upon my lips, love upon my loins, love that lingers in my heart..."When Maxine began her poetry once more, El's tune became a simple low note so she could listen to the words. Her smile could be felt on Maxine's loins as the praise filled El's heart with joy. As the poet completed their sonnet, El would pull her tongue from Max's slit, gleefully licking her lips with a seductive smack.* "Maxine..." El purred, reaching up to grab at the hand atop her head, bringing it down to caress her cheek. "Ellie... That's my full name. Only those who know me real well get to know it." El cooed, turning her face to plant a gentle kiss onto it. She held it to her lips for a short while, looking up to Maxine's eyes warmly. Using her free hand, El lowered Maxine's legs, then slid over them to lay alongside the human, sliding her left arm around her shoulders to pull her close, while her right hand slyly settled just above Maxine's freshly wetted loins, a warning that at any time, her fingers could slide inside. "I trust you... Please, only use it when it is us alone... Or with exclusively people I tell you know it too."Maxine's fingers flexed upon the tender grace of Ellie's lips, tapping a gentle, rhythmic pattern upon them. The relished in the soothing grace of them, and relished more as she was placed so precariously within her lover's hold. Her heart battered against her chest in anticipation--lust and longing--yet she held firm. The crook of her heel brushed slow patterns into the small of El's back as it was held-so, passing her own warmth all the more into her--not that it was needed, as the sopping prime of the author's pussy was well warm enough* "When we are alone, you are my Rokh--My World..."El smiled softly as Maxine cooed to her, moving to plant a gentle peck onto the poet's forehead as she spoke. El's eyes locked onto Maxine's, her elven blues shimmering alongside Maxine's deep sapphires. "And you shall be mine as well, lovely Lady Maxine. For so long as you enjoy me, I will be yours." The monk purred, gently leaning forward to bring Max into a soft, sensual oral embrace. No aggressive tongue action, or abrasive lip bashing. Just a gentle suckle on Maxine's upper lip, followed by an equally caring suckle on her lower one. Though a deviant El still was. Whilst she gave tender love to Maxine's upper body, El's right hand would indeed slide down, her pointer and middle finger both hooking sliding inside of Maxine's slit, hooking themselves within it where they would begin to alternate forward and back, sliding past each other as they too explored the pit of the poet.The author melted upon the embrace, returning the kiss with a barely constrained vigor. She desired so very much more, to pin the elf and rut her. To make her Maxine's alone--to spoil all other lovers with hours upon hours of ravishing. Yet, all that paled in comparison to her singular desire. An arm wrapped a soothing embrace against the small of the little elf's back, while her other caressed down the side of Ellie's features, capturing its every detail with the tips of her fingers. All the while, her lips flexed upon El's, smacking softly and filling the air with the heated gasps and needful mutters* "I desire you far more than carnal lust... I love you..." She spoke a hushed word for only they to hear... But the ravenous wail that followed was for everyone of the Flats to hear. Her pussy melted at the touch, already gushing a fount of pleasure across El's knuckles as she was pistoned upon.Maxine--a picture of poise and beauty to some--simply laid there for El; a canvas for her desires both carnal and elsewise. Her plucks upon the author's pussy played hushed coos at one angle, then shuddering sighs at the other. She was a harp of lurid tones that only El could play in this moment. Yet still, Maxine listened to every word and met El's pensive eyes with her own. Warm sapphires peered through the fog betwixt them, stalwart and true with not a hint of worry nor hesitation abound. She craned herself closer, catching her lips to the cleft of the elf's chin; a sweet and soft pluck of her lips once... then once again an inch higher, and so on until she plucked several taps around El's lips. Flittering, leaving not a corner ungraced by her embrace "I would ask you the very same... My efforts to learn an experience will ever have me seek more pleasures--carnal and adventurous alike. There will be nights I will be despoiled and defiled... And I shall seek you out..." Her palms moved to wrap around El's unslicked hand, clasping it tender between her weaving digits. "...This touch... Because it will sanctify me with your love most pure." Her visage shifted to catch the single tear upon El's features, kissing the fears away. "My life is so much shorter than your own... but I will wait for you until my body no longer can serve our entanglements, so long as I hear your love..."

That was more than El could handle. Her tears erupted, though were accompanied by the biggest smile Maxine had seen on the little elf thus far. Her pussy hooked hand shot out of Maxine as El swiftly moved to straddle Maxine's form, grabbing her face on either side with both hands. "T-Thank you." El whimpered before launching herself forward and bringing Maxine's lips once more into an emotional embrace. The author would easily feel the whole of El's being quivering. Was it fear? Excitement? A bit of both? El was unable to tell, but somehow she knew, being within Max's arms would solve this woe.It was welcomed. All of it. Maxine made no judgement towards any bursts of emotion, as they were always true and pure. And this was no different. The whole of her body welcomed El's burst of emotion, and the burst of motion that came with it. At once, her arms clasped tight around the small elf, latching her palms over El's shoulders while they crossed against her back; threatening to never let her depart from the embrace. Her lips however hungrily seized upon the elf's eagerness, breathing heated life into the crashing of their desires. She flexed and adjusted to each heated tap, letting hushed breaths broker between each fleeting departure before crashing back upon home.El would not relent on Maxine's lips and body for some time, her cries of relief echoing through the room and out the balcony into the cool Undermine air. Only once her face was truly tearstained with every last drop her ducts could offer did she pull away, leaning back to use her arms to prop herself up as she simply looked at Maxine for a while. Wordless. It was several moments more before El could figure out what to say. Her mind could not think up anything more profound to say that had not already been spoken between the pair. Finally, her silence was broken by a far simpler topic. "M-... may I stay the night, love? I-... have a feeling my reservation at the Incontinental has expired."Maxine simply laid there for El to take in. Her chest heaved in slow, agonized patterns whilest the human steadied herself; drunken so off the blissful lips of her lover. Still, her eyes were sharp and intent, never once losing track of El's own tear strung eyes. Her lips were still high in a smile as she herself drank in every aspect of the elf "Of course you can stay... Though, do understand..." Maxine slinked herself forward, settling herself up just enough to brush her nose oft against El's own. Her breath tingling across the elf's lips as she spoke in low, sultry coos. "...I will spoil myself upon you well into the morning..."El giggled warmly at Maxine's words, playfully swaying her torso side to side as to cause her breasts to bounce gingerly. "Oh? In that case..." El purred, closing the distance between their lips for the briefest of moments, before leaning back, laying in between Maxine's spread legs, with her own raising up to spread to the unique "heavens" Undermine had to offer. "Enjoy all you like. I've had my fun, aaaaand my pussy isn't sore anymore from our balcony adventure, so go nuts! Hehehe!"Maxine plucked her lips once upon El's own as she departed from her, smirking a playful look all the while she watched her lover play and present herself. Ever the performer, even in a moment like this... Perhaps it was simply in their joined nature. The author rolled herself to a proper sit and quickly pounced upon the elf like a wolf upon its prey. Her shoulders caught each leg, letting them crest and curl over her slender mounts whilest the author bent El all the more forward, curling her over and into herself until the elf's rear no longer rested upon the soft plush of the mattress. She was merely a pulled upon piece of meat for Maxine to string and service herself upon. All the more evident as her palm plapped against the wanting cunt of the elf once... But it was not nearly satisfying enough for Maxine, reeling her palm back and slicking her tongue against the stretch of it before slapping it back down against the elf's pussy with a much more resonating slap; grinding her palm wholly against the slit* "I spoke poetry for you... Now I want you to speak for me... Speak your every truth and desire for me, and let them seep into the walls... Let every inch of this room soak in your lustful words..."El was caught off guard by the sudden pounce, but did not resist in the slightest. The worst she did was let out a surprised squeal as she was jumped upon, followed by a fit of giggles erupting from her lips. "Ah-! Hahaha! My goodness Maxine! You weren't kidding about that carnal lust, huh?" El purred, letting the author do as she pleased. As Maxine woman-handled her, El simply blushed and bit her lower lip, breathing excitedly through her nostrils. Upon feeling Maxine's fingers along her sex once more, a soft groan slipped through El's nose, followed by a short "Ack-!" as El felt her pussy get slapped with the wetted hand. As Maxine made her request, El raised her hands to cup under both her breasts, her fingers moving to play with her own nipples as she listened to her lover's ask. "I've wanted you... since the say I laid eyes on you. I've wanted those tits smothering my face till I pass out. That tongue to twirl my gut into a pretzel until I spew all over your beautiful red head." El began, having far more to say, but not wanting to express it all before Maxine began her fun.A tongue languished against Maxine's own lips, sliding from one side to the other as she anguished over the sight before her. Her slick middle finger curled and pressed upon the petals of Petal, languishing upon the curl before harshly slapping her digit back down against the gash... A process she repeated again... and again... letting the wet slap of her slim finger echo against the air. The tips of her fingers curled in, all too familiar with El's most favored point--the nub above her bud. She rolled her fingers against it, toying with her vibrating pin whilest her finger matched the trib, wriggling harsh against the slit in equal humming measure to that of El's toy. All the while, the thumb of her other hand began to lash upon the swollen clit of her prize, depriving the depraved elf of even the most minute moment of reprieve; creating a wet, slashing mess of the raised pussy with each passing second.The room was instantly filled with the echoes of El's sultry groans, her eyes as big as a goblin golf ball as Maxine wasted not a moment. Her top teeth bit down so hard on her lower lip, El felt it go numb as her entire form began to quiver and quake at Maxine's masterful finger work. The use of her piercing was a cheap tactic, but oh so highly effective. With every tap Maxine applied to it, the vibration would escalate even further, until Maxine was able to hear the buzzing over her own, squishy finger work. "GAH-..! Fuck-... Max-!" El squealed breathlessly, her contorted position making it slightly harder to breath, though she still managed. Now, she had to continue with her lover's request. "I-.... I want-... your pussy to smother me-FUCK-!... while my tongue tastes your-... d-d-d-deepest places. I want to fuck-... together-... in front of crowds of people-... c-c-cheering us on." El stammered and cried, though she clearly had more to say.Maxine needed no tricks to bring El to her pinnacle, naturally. She could strum these strings like a mistro... Yet she relished in the simplicity of it. Watching her lover's face contort into a mewling mess. Watching her devolve into a slut... A toy for Maxine to play with as she pleased. It made her spine tingle in utmost excitement. For the briefest of moments, her palm departed from El's slit, though left it not to the elements for long. Just as quickly, Maxine buried her face into the waiting slit, meshing her lips upon it and rolling her nose betwixt clit and rounded toy. She was a fiendish flurry, rolling her features into the cunt and moaning a roiling cry into it; which echoed all the more as her tongue flashed forward, smothering itself in her lover's cunt before she slipped herself free, letting the juices glisten against her jaw before slapping her palm back upon its home. She vigorously returned to tending to the slit, piston slipping her finger across the slit faster and faster. "My Rokh is the perfect slut... I love her so much..."El was putty in Maxine's hands at this stage, her body a playground for the author's imagination. When El felt her slit be freed from Maxine's eager fingers, the elf took that small moment to breath heavily, taking advantage of this momentary reprieve. When she felt Max's tongue dive deep though, El could barely contain herself. Her right hand shot out from under her breast as it latched harshly onto Maxine's scalp, gripping it probably a little too tightly. Her legs started to quiver as she continued Max's request. "F-F-FUCK-! This! I want this! Every moment of every day!" El cried out, her thighs beginning to violently shake as she was getting close. Her stomach had just tightened as she felt Maxine leave her hole again, once more taking the moment to catch her breath. Though this reprieve was even more short lived as Max's fingers shot down once more, El's climax progress picking up where it had left off. "SHIT-! S-SLUT! I-I WANT TO BE YOUR SLUT! YOU'RE TOY-! THE WORLD'S CUM DUMP, B-B-BUT YOUR F-F-FUCKDOLL! GAAAAAAHAAAA-!" El let out a banshee wail as her walls enclosed around Maxine's digits, threatening to slice them off just as El became a fountain once more, this time soiling the bed the pair had to sleep in. Her climax hit so hard, El's squirts would likely reach Maxine's face, or at least go as high as it. It was at this moment El knew she made the right choice. A lover so inexplicably kind to her, yet still able to floor her in the bedroom with almost no effort whatsoever. What a combination!Maxine relished in it all. The submission, the pleas, and above all else, the climax. Her finger peeled back and delved harsh into the convulsing slit, pumping against the tide and ushering every convulsing climax out all the more; letting it drench both the bed below and Maxine's palm. "There we go, cum for me, Rokh. You're Maxine's favorite little slut, aren't you? You want to be a fountain of cum just... for... me...!" *She snarled each word, enjoying the sensation of dominating the little elf she once called boss. Her other palm reeled and slapped raw the elf's rear whilest she kept her hoisted up, escalating her pet all the more along... It would be a long night...

Elves present in the story:

Nyx:

El:

It had been a full day for El after her rendezvous with Maxine. She’d met with her supplier in Undermine and secured the next year’s worth of ale to her business. The brothel was the furthest thing from her mind at the moment though. As she flew over the peaks that housed Ironforge, the frigid air made her bare body begin to freeze. With the flash of some jade-colored chi mist, she was in her civilian outfit. It wasn’t much better than her combat “gear” as far as weather protection, but at least the parts that needed to be covered were covered. As she glided over the final mountain top, El began her descent down into Loch Modan, aiming for the little estate her and a few of her brothel’s managers had purchased a few months ago together. As she got closer, El spotted one of them, a pale skinned, blonde haired elf with vibrant violet eyes. Butterflies instantly filled El’s stomach, both excited and nervous about the conversation she needed to have with this individual.Nyx wandered around the corner, going about her daily cleaning of the various houses when she noticed El. SCREAMING her name, Nyx runs too and then hugs her. "ELLIE!"El giggled wildly as she was hugged, bringing her hands up to pat the Ren'dorei on the back of the head lovingly. "Heya! Just the gal I was hoping to see! I wanted to talk to you about something.""Oh?" *Nyx smiled through her confusion. Talks were never good... "I hope it is all good things?" Hugging her tightly before letting the embrace go so that El could operate. "I was just cleaning the houses and going about making sure that nothing looked out of place for everyone."El nodded as she pulled back from the embrace, reaching into her skirt. "It's all good! At least, I hope so. First, I can't remember if I asked you this, but would you be okay with Maxine from Double D moving here with us? She's renting a place out of Undermine for now, not a bad spot, but still. And, well… she helped me in a big way regarding the... second thing." El blushed lightly. "I feel it would be the least we could do to help her out. She can even bunk with me if that would help?"Nyx smiled "Oh that is fine. She doesn't even need to pay us anything. We have the extra houses and if she really wants the privacy, I can talk to Gamble and she could even have the Boralus location."El's smile widened as she pulled a small wrapped box from within her skirt. "Perfect! Now on to thing two..." El purred, offering the little wrapped box. "Here. For you."Nyx took the box, slowly but with purpose. She was savoring the moment as the glow in her eyes told all that was needed. Bright violet orbs of void energy glowing in those pupils. She slowly opened the present while filling the air with words. "I...um...I got you nothing. Um...Well I am glad I can help Maxine. Just tell me where she wants to stay and I will set it up. Here is infinitely better and I think the far house at the far end of the property has no-one in it."Inside the box was a golden pocket watch, of which there was a little note sticking out of. El was clearly brimming with excitement as Nyx pulled it open, giggling at her words. "Oh, I wasn't expecting anything from you. In fact, I've owed you this for a while now." El hinted coyly, nodding her head towards the note within the pocket watch. "We'll figure out the fine details later. For now, I just wanna focus on this moment."

Nyx was speechless and stunned in all the right ways. Her aura seemed to flair to life as she first took out the pocket watch and swooned over it. "Oh. My. Stars!" Looking it over, opening it and taking in the new sight. Attaching it to her dress where her top cut and letting the watch sink down into her cleavage, she took out the note and read it over. That glow in her eyes starting to creep out of her pupils as it consumed those entire orbs.The note read:
"Nyx. I made a promise to you many moons ago, that once I had time to figure things out in my mind, you would be the first to know. I've had time. I've figured things out (mostly). I think I am ready.
-El"While Nyx was reading, El bit at her lip, doing her best to contain both her excitement and nerves."ELLIE WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND!!!!" Nyx screamed and prepared to pounce her the moment she said yes!El giggled wildly at the reaction, nodding her head ecstatically! "Hehehe! Yes! I won't force you to hold back your love any longer. So long as I may do the same for others in return, I would love to be your." El hummed, preparing herself for a hug by opening her arms.Nyx jumped El, forgetting the box and paper in her hand as she leaped into El's arms and hugged her with all her wizard strength...though she had been keeping up with her stretching like El had instructed so that she would be ready for her monk training »when El had the proper time. “OF COURSE! As long as I have your heart, anyone can have your body for a night or so! You know, you are still my maid of honor at the wedding this October!" Nyx exclaimed, kissing that lovely face as she littered it with sweet and quick kisses.El let out a little 'eep!' as she was tackled, returning the embrace with equal fervor. "I think Maxine wants to do what you and Anna do. All of us love each other in a special way. I told her I promised you first. I hope her being part of our love won't be the same issue it was for me in the past. We can be a family, together. A household of lovers!"El let out a shocked gasp at the mention of the wedding. “Oh my gosh! How did I almost forget?! I need to figure out what I'm gonna wear!”"I don't care as long as I have you! I don't know if everyone will want all the love but I have you and that if all I have wanted! Maxine will be a sexy cherry on top! Nyx hummed in excitement!” You promise this is real? "I promise not to mess this up!”“Phew! Okay good!” El breathed, relieved. ”That was the only thing I was worried about. And I promise, it is real. I can't let my past hold me back from letting others love me anymore.”"Good! " Nyx cheered, finally kissing El on the lips, letting a passionate moment linger there before she broke the embrace and started to cry...happy cry but Nyx started to cry. "Gamble is probably not going to be pro but Anna is always good for more love as long as they are trustworthy!”El smiled through the kiss, wrapping her arms around Nyx's waist to pull her in close, only releasing when Nyx pulled away. "Maxine is as trustworthy as they come. Hopefully, once the renovations are done, we can all get back to working on the brothel, together. It would be a sure fire way to build trust quickly!""I could not agree more! I trust anyone you trust, really. I just...well I give myself to you, all of me El. I know we are not getting married but I want you to know that you are mine just like one of my future wives. Hell, I might be getting you a ring sooner than you think..." Nyx paused, realizing she might be getting ahead of the moment. "Sorry...I am too excited...I probably should slow down, huh?" Nyx didn't pull away though, she was as close as could be.El chuckled. “Maybe juuuuuust a smidgen. I adore the enthusiasm, don’t get me wrong! Marriage though… might still be something for me to figure out if I wanna do again. But this? What we have now? I want it, have wanted it, for so long now. I'm sorry I didn't have the strength to say yes for so long, Nyx.”

"You are fine my love. I have you now and that is all that matters and I am never letting go! Not ever!" Nyx cheered.El smiled as she held Nyx close, closing her eyes as she placed her forehead against the Ren'dorei's. "Thank you... for waiting, and understanding." El cooed warmly, nuzzling her nose against Nyx's."I would have waited my whole life for you...but enough mushy before I push too far. I love you and I respect and love you for ALL of you." Nyx kissed her once more, her lips meeting El's in another passionate moment. Romantic. Something she hopped they would both, never forget!El snickered through her nose as she was kissed, running her right hand up Nyx's back to pull her torso closer to El's, their breasts now pressing against each other, teasingly. El's eyes remained shut as she suckled first on Nyx's upper lip, gently prying it away from Nyx's mouth again and again before switching to give the wizard's lower lip the same praise."I have missed you!" *Nyx spoke, her eyes beating that rhythm that El knew so well. Her breaths already labored but along with the lust was a smile that she could not get rid of. A cute giggle from time to time that didn't break the moment but only reminded El how happy she was. Nyx let El manipulate her lip while her own hands slide down El's back and under that skirt, grabbing handfuls of that magnificent ass that laid underneath.El snickered as she felt Nyx's hand slide down her skirt, El's hands both now reaching up to grab at the back of Nyx's dress' head hole. With how much Nyx's top exposed of her cleavage, it would surely be easy to pull it back and let the Ren'dorei's breast fall-. RIIP. At the sudden sound, El gasped, pulling away from the kiss with a look of pure grief. "Oh no-! Nyx, I'm so sorry!"Nyx smiled, her hair flashing void violet and smiled. "Don't worry about it. Really, it is kind of sexy that you ripped my clothes off and plus...time wizard. I can fix them. Rip away, you don't have to be gentle with me. I like gentle at first but you can let go. I have...spells to counter act almost anything anyone can throw at me in the bed." And then dove back into her lips. Kissing her with vigor, her hands grabbing and spreading those cheeks while Nyx's own hips started to move with a mind of their own. Begging and pleading for the same attention that the rest of her body longed for.El let out a sigh of relief and nodded before being brought back into the tight embrace. Eagerly, she did as she was allowed, gripping the dress and pulling to the sides as hard as she could, tearing it down the back with a long and loud RIIIIIIIIP! Eager to see how her work paid off, El pulled back from the kiss, gazing down to see what was under that lovely dress, if anything at all.Nyx moaned, snapping her fingers and making her staff vanish from around her. As usual for Nyx when she felt safe and secure, she was wearing her favorite undergarments. NONE. Nyx actually hated clothing but she knew social norms called for such things. Smiling back at El, she spoke only a single sentence before pushing her weight against her the monk as the wizard tried to push her to the ground. "I am all yours, feel free to claim me however you want! I will tell you if it is something I don't want!" Should her efforts to push her weight against the monk prove successful, the wizard would mount her love and grind her hips on El's while leaning in for more kisses. There breasts still pressed against one another in the close embrace.

El smirked as she gazed down at Nyx's choice of undergarments, a set El shared and adored greater than any other. The Quel'dorei also abhorred being forced to wear clothing, opting to only want to do so when it looked pretty, otherwise she'd be as bare as the day she was born. As Nyx spoke her words, El would take the opportunity to grip her top and throw it over her head, letting it soar away towards the main house as her own breasts were exposed for the world to see. Next came her skirt, where she began to shuffle it down her thighs just as Nyx made her gambit to tackle El. With the cloth being around her knees at the time, El had no choice but to tumble backwards, letting out a quick 'ahh-!' as she fell onto her bouncy booty. She let out a giggle as she laid back on the cool pavers that made up the road, thankful they were soft to the skin. "Seems you've done the claiming first, love. How about you take the initiative this time? Curious to see how well you can woman-handle me..." purred, offering a coy wink at Nyx as she raised her arms up above her head, placing her hands behind it to shield it from the stones below her. Her breasts jiggled against Nyx's as she made the motion, the pair flopping to either side of her torso as gravity gripped them."Okay! I have been trying to be more dominant so here goes. You want me with or without a little male appendage?” Nyx giggled. “Well not so little.” Nyx took a moment to study El from top to bottom. She was gorgeous and Nyx adored every inch of her body. Leaning down to start kissing, Nyx started at her cheeks and made her way to El's ear where she carefully kissed around it and then headed straight to her neck. Nyx's now idle hands finding skin to trace her fingers along till she found her grips on El's hips for support on her descent down El's skin. Littering her with kisses as she went. Soft, sweet and wet kisses.El giggled warmly as she bit her lip, looking up longingly to Nyx. "I shall leave that for you to decide. Part of being a dommy top is taking charge, love." El purred coyly, her teeth quickly returning to bite her lower lip as Nyx began to kiss her neck. The feeling of the Ren'dorei's fingers exploring El's skin generated goose bumps all over the little elf's form, eliciting a shiver from her. "Whatever... you please... I just wish for you to take me. Show me what you've craved to give me all these months while you waited oh so patiently..."Nyx smiled through her kisses, but the feeling was there. That warmth and the way her lips separated a bit with each new kiss. Trailing down her neckline and finding her collar bone, Nyx kept her decent but continued her conversation with El through other means. Attending to the comments through the mental link she had established between them many...many days ago. "Well, part of being a good dom is also asking and making sure your partner gets what she wants." One hand leaving those beautiful hips and slowly sliding up El's body till it reached her neck and gripped it, holding it tightly under her jawline while the wizard arched it for her purposes. Going back up her neck, she found a place on El's neck and dove in. Latching on and sucking on her position amongst the monks neck.El snickered through her nose as she heard Nyx's voice in her head. "Smart girl. I'd say your past a good dom already." El purred through the mental link, her back arching as Nyx got lower and lower down her body. "I... admit, I am curious what magical skills could do to spice things up. So long as you leave satisfied, I will be more than happy, love." El hummed aloud, pulling her left hand from behind her head to reach down and gently grasp at Nyx's scalp, massaging it lightly the further down El's form Nyx went. "Go wild, Nyx. Ravage me in any way you please..."El snickered through her nose as she heard Nyx's voice in her head. "Smart girl. I'd say your past a good dom already." El purred through the mental link, her back arching as Nyx got lower and lower down her body. "I... admit, I am curious what magical skills could do to spice things up. So long as you leave satisfied, I will be more than happy, love." El hummed aloud, pulling her left hand from behind her head to reach down and gently grasp at Nyx's scalp, massaging it lightly the further down El's form Nyx went. "Go wild, Nyx. Ravage me in any way you please..."Nyx went back to her descent, finally finding her way to El's magnificent breasts. Kissing down her sternum, Nyx's other hand went for one of El's bountiful breasts and gripped it with her hand. Nyx's lips moved to the other breast where she made sure to kiss everywhere but El's aureole and nipple, teasing and leaving them for next. Adding her magical touch to the mixture, Nyx spoke a word under her kisses and with the smell of her magic, summoned a floating hand of violet light. The scent of rose pedals after a spring rain filled the area for a moment as the floating hand made its way down to El's feet and started to massage it, tender and slow at first till the hand found any knots and focused on those points.El 's lips quivered as she felt Nyx's teasing her booba, the touch of the Ren'dorei's mouth so close, yet just far enough away to not sate El's desires for the moment. "Such a tease." El purred through their mental link, her nose perking up as she smelt the magic. That was new to El, having been unaware magic could smell. As the hand would caress El's foot, it would find the bottom of them to be harshly charred, a reminder of punishment long since gone by. While El could not feel the fingers on her soles, she did feel the pressure they applied, and oh how plentiful the knots within her feet would be. "Damn trolls... ruined my perfectly good feet. I could have made a killing off of those I bet." El giggled, aiming to keep the moment as light hearted as possible.

"I can fix them, nothing is beyond fixing for a time wizard with enough time." Nyx purred into her own mental link and with another whisper of words and the same scent filling the air, another hand appeared below El's other foot. Void violet and with the same touch as the first one. Nyx's touch. The hands went to work, adding her ankle to the massage as they were working their way up her beautiful legs. "I love you for all your scars and flaws." Nyx spoke, all her speech still through the mental link. Nyx's actual hands were occupied still, one fondling softly El's breast while the other held her neck in place, letting her thumb slip around to El's lips and play with her bottom one. And Nyx's lips finally found purchase around El's tit, suckling on it and letting her tongue flick it from side to side.El smiled at Nyx, but shook her head. "Thank you, but I've grown accustomed to them. They are a part of me. They are me." El hummed aloud, the notion clearly important enough to be said rather than thought. As the thumb caressed around El's lips, El would go to suckle it, if allowed, though not for long, as the moment Nyx's maw enveloped El's nipple, a sultry moan would escape the little Quel'dorei's lips, a sweet sigh of relief following. "I-... w-want you... inside. D-D-Don't care how... but ins-s-side." El cooed, her left hand pulling itself off of Nyx's scalp to lower down to her own loins, pressing in on the buzzing, sapphire, heart-shaped clit piercing that adored El's nethers, the buzzing notably increasing as she did so."Your wish is my desire!" Nyx spoke, her voice sweet and sultry in their mental link. Those magical hands slowly slide up the length of both of the monks legs till they meet at El's center. Teasing her, as was Nyx's charm, they played with caressed Ellie's lower lips, knowing she was warmed up but still doing her do-diligence to pamper her love. Nyx loved making love the ways she loved to be made love too. Sweet at first and then rough at the end. Nyx's own hands continued each their own works. Her thumb moving into El's mouth while the other continued to pay close attention to El's breast. All the while, Nyx suction on El's other breast continued while the wizards tongue worked that tit like it was El's own clit.El let out a quivering whimper as she felt the magic hands inch closer and closer to her loins, the excitement evident as it began to slide between El's booty cheeks and pool on the ground below her. Once more the hand would move, this time to grab onto the back of the one Nyx had planted firmly on El's breast, not moving it away, just holding it gingerly. All the while, every flick and swirl Nyx's tongue gifted to El's nipple earned a quiver or quake in response, the nostrils of El's nose becoming highways for her swift inhales and exhales. "Fuck-... this is so sensual... I love it, Nyx." El moaned through the mental link, as her mouth was otherwise occupied flicking Nyx's thumb in between suckles of it.Nyx knew it was time to make sure that both breasts were getting attention. Reluctantly and slowly pulling her hand from El's mouth, Nyx went about switching her mouths attention. Pulling off the one breast with a pop from her suction, Nyx smiled at Ellie and blew her kiss before going down on the other breast. Nyx's once occupied hand and thumb now moving to the vacant breast and copying the work of the wizards other hand. Leaving El the freedom to moan and shout as she wanted. Those void hands, coming together and swirling into a single smooth and phallic object, approached her lovers entrance and slowly pushed its way inside that wet, tight gateway. Slowly pushing itself to the back of El's insides and adjust, growing itself to length first before expanding to start stretching Ellie. Expanding the diameter of the toy till Ellie's eyes gave Nyx that sign...or whatever action El gave that Nyx knew she was looking for. That gasp of full when she has pressed El and stretched her just right.El let out a playfully pouty moan as she felt Nyx's mouth leave her breast, though it would not be long before lustful ones took it's place. El took her left hand away from Nyx's, moving to grip the right breast of the Ren'dorei as a form of repayment for the pleasurable work. It would receive a little squeeze as El felt the magicock slide in, the object finding surprisingly little resistance as it slithered deeper in. El would let out a sigh of relief as she felt it hilt her, then begin to grow. To Nyx's surprise, El wouldn't react for a while, until the magical member was so big, Nyx might feel it against her lower body, through El's thin stomach. As the tip of the dildo brushed past El's cervix, only then would she show any emotion, her eyes shooting open as a lustful gasp escaped her, her eyes shooting upwards into the back of her head as her legs quivered for but a moment, then settled with a relaxed sigh. "Perfect..."Nyx had grown...rather hungry at this point herself. Breaking all her work and looking up at Ellie as those last inches gave Nyx the reaction she wanted, the wizard slid down her partner and positioned her center between Ellie's legs, scissoring them...or »
preparing to link them together as such. Waving her hand, as that magical scent filled the air, Nyx's void instrument started to grow from the other end, elongating to a much more...reasonable thickness and length for Nyx to slide onto. Blowing her lover a kiss and mounting the void length, Nyx moaned as she went down to kiss her lower lips to El's own flower, giving a big moan as she took just a bit of the girth that El presented at the very end. "By Azeroth!" Nyx exclaimed, readying herself and adjusting her legs so both the ladies were comfortable. "Ready?" She asked her partner, before starting to rock and grind her own hips, riding the void length with her partner and making sure they flesh touched as much as they could. Their slickness mixing together as the both shared fruity kisses with their drenched pussy lips.El's gaze remained looking to the sky for a while as Nyx made her way into position, the Quel'dorei's trance broken only by Nyx's exclamation. As El comprehended what Nyx was about to do, blush filled her face as the little elf moved to prop herself up with her left hand, her right now reaching out to grasp at Nyx's left one, hoping to grab it to help stabilize them both. "Ready." El responded with a curt nod, biting her lip as Nyx slid closer, the buzz from El's clit piercing now likely reverberating through the magical toy as the pair's slits made contact. Nyx would find El to be soaping wet not just on her lips, but all along her thighs as well. Having a vibration on your clit all day will do that to ya.Nyx returned the hand hold, mirroring her other arm the same way the El did. Nyx HAD the idea to do this but El knew what she was doing far better. Nyx swooned, again inside as she awaited all the thing her and El would do. But that moment was only for a brief microsecond as the stimulation brought Nyx back to reality. Nyx, in a similar position as El, was becoming drenched down below as she rode through the first orgasm; the stimulation of El's vibrator throwing Nyx off of all sense. Without thinking, she mirrored the vibrations of the ring through the toy so that it was not echoing...but an exact duplicate of the same rhythm and motion. Shaking and but still moving her hips back and forth, grinding her partner, Nyx rode through another of her orgasms as this one kissed El with a stream of nectar that had escaped from Nyx's juicy fruit. "I LOVE YOU EL!" Nyx yelled, feeling the surge of more orgasms coming as she tried to fight her own releases. Her hair, joining her eyes as they both hummed void light. Nyx body, starting to flash the same colors as she shifted closer to her connection with the void.El had been moaning softly as she mirrored Nyx's grinding, her eyelids fluttering as she felt the tip of the toy slide through her cervix again and again, sometimes even cresting the back of her womb. It was already pleasurable for the little elf, her stomach already beginning to contract as she felt her first wave coming on. That was the exact moment Nyx copied the vibrations of El's piercing to the toy, which prompted a newly wide-eyed El to squeal as her fingers clenched tightly around Nyx's. While the Ren'dorei's orgasms offered a leak of nectar, El's were far more... violent, as the Quel'dorei would convulse for a moment, before showering her lover with a torrent of her lady sugar, the streams of which would likely shoot so far, they'd come to rest upon Nyx's bouncing breasts. "I-... I- GYAHHAAA! I L-L-LOVE YOU T-T-T-TOO, NYXIE!" El cried out. In the presence of the void, El's chest would suddenly glow that brilliant blue, and Nyx would feel her power begin to syphon away for the extent of El's orgasm, though after El's fifth and final squirt, the feeling would fade, leaving Nyx with plenty more left over.Nyx whole body locked up finally as she could not hold back her next orgasm anymore. The words, the nectar, the emotion all filled her and gave her that jolt she needed to connect directly to the vast void. The wizards body glowing and beating the same as her hair and eyes, now completely attached to that vast power. One after another, Nyx shook through her next orgasms as the void took over and charged her. The phallic shape inside them both, swelling with power and growing just a bit more on all fronts before it too started to blow loads of juicy sweets inside of both the ladies, giving them that warm feeling of full with the sensation of liquid bonus. Stomach swelling just a bit to compensate for the newly added liquids, that forcefully spurted from both ends. Nyx was still locked, her body solid like an anchor for El to keep thrusting and grinding upon. "FUUUHHHHHHCCCCCKKKK!"El 's face scrunched up as she felt a second orgasm on it's way, her toes curling and legs quivering as her cunny rocked aggressively against Nyx's own. As El saw the void seemingly overtake Nyx, a flicker of worry flashed through her, until the moment the toy came inside her. She had not been expecting that sensation at all, but when it arrived, so too did she, once more spewing poor Nyx with her sexy slime as the pair were filled to the brim. El locked her legs around Nyx, using her as a stopper so none of the liquid might escape the pair as their wombs were inflated, a result that pleased El far greater than Nyx realized. "Fuuuuuuck me...." El hummed as she relaxed her overly tensed body, releasing Nyx's hand from her iron grip as to let that hand's arm prop her up by the elbow, along with her left one. "That's-... one fel of a magic trick." El cooed with a giggle, offering a sly wink to Nyx.Nyx needed far longer to cool off, her body shaking and beating the colors of the void. Embraced by its clutches. Nyx held on and continued to moan and huff for air as her body went down the roller coaster of after orgasms. One small one after another, squirting her nectar out and drenching the pair in more of their own lovely fluids. When Nyx had finally calmed down as her body stopped flashing and the void color rolled back to just her hair and eyes, Nyx smiled and spoke once more. "Oh...Yeah...I...Have...Others..." She struggled to speak as her body yearned for more oxygen. "Fuck...I...Love....You..."El chuckled as Nyx spoke, her breathlessness adorable to the Quel'dorei. Ever so carefully as to not force the toy out of either of them, El would slooooowly begin to slide towards Nyx. There was a single moment in the transition where the toy had begun to slide out of El, but she managed to grip it, hold it in place, until she laid atop the Ren'dorei with both their overfilled wombs and perky breasts pressed harshly against each other, the toy curved into each of their caverns like a stopper halting the flow of a dam's water. "I love you too, Nyx. Perhaps we explore these 'others', another time? Don't want to overdo it on our first night together, right?" El purred, leaning her head down to plant a gentle kiss onto Nyx's lips for a moment, then pulled back to let her respond."Oh...Absolutely!!!" Nyx said, relieved El had said that. In truth, she was rather spent from going so long without such...vigorous activity and she doubted that she could have kept much more sanity if she kept things going. "I...just...don't...want...you to think..." Catching her breath. "I only had the one trick...Gods that feels so good."El giggled as she moved to slide some of Nyx's hair out from in front of her eye, smiling warmly. "Well, now I'm excited. For the moment though, how about we get cleaned up and head to bed. We can share one this time." El cooed in a sing song tone, biting her lip with girlish glee at her final realization."OH that is easy. Just say the word and I will Prestidigitation us to clean and take our lovely plug out of us both. Though, I guess that is the word." Nyx smiled, taking a deep breath to collect herself and then going about the actions to summon her magic. Weaving her hands, speaking the arcane word and then snapping her fingers. With that same rush of magical scent on the air, Nyx and El were cleaned up as the void instrument broke back into two and slowly removed itself from either lady. Letting them enjoy the feeling of it leaving instead of an instantly empty feeling. Nude and cleaned up, Nyx was slow to get up and walk in the house, with El following very close behind her...

El

Nora shivered as a fresh gust of late autumn air blew over her person. Winter had almost arrived in Boralus, and soon her shift would no longer be enough to combat the frigid wind. “Who's idea was it to put a library outside?” the human mumbled to herself as she blew a rogue strand of her blonde hair out of her eyes. Normally she wouldn't be caught dead near the Stormsong Archives. For a paladin like herself, the Tidesages’ magic was always… off putting, especially after what happened in Stormsong Valley's Shrine of Storms. No. She'd much rather be in Stormwind's library, where the knowledge seemed limitless and the walls kept out the cold.Alas, for what seemed to be the first time, Stormwind's library had failed Nora. She'd scoured the place for weeks looking for any old tomes that might hold the answer to El's plight, but, despite even her advanced access to the restricted sections due to her paladin training, she'd come up dry. Not even the tomes once penned by Natalie Seline held the secret to exercising such a powerful being of the void from a person. There were rituals for cleansing corruption, of course those were abundant and honestly rather easy for a Light-welder of her caliber. However, what El had wasn't just corruption, and Nora knew they would only get one shot at yanking that parasite out of her close friend.So, in a last ditch effort, Nora sought the aid of those who had touched the void. Back in the 4th war, some of the Tidesages had betrayed their kingdom of Kul Tiras, and had begun dabbling in the void, at the behest of their leader, Lord Colm Stormsong. While they had purged most of their ranks since the Shrine of Storms had been cleansed of the void's foul corruption, Nora still felt a great sense of unease anytime she saw one. Now though, she was in their very archives, the book cases having been moved to where the scribes used to copy books by hand, in an effort to improve transparency with the local population of Boralus. While their magic kept rain and snow at bay, to protect the books, they hadn't quite cracked how to deal with the random gusts of wind that somehow snuck into the pit.In all honesty, Nora was surprised she managed to gain access to such a place. The Tidesages were always wary of outsiders, so she'd prepared to call in a few favors in order to enter the library. In actuality, she'd only cashed in one favor, which, while helpful, only put her even more on edge. In reality though, it didn't matter. She was here now, and she'd pull every book from its spot at least once if that's what it took to help El.“H-Hey… Nora?” A nervous yet familiar voice squeaked from just above where Nora was currently studying a book on Tidesage Rituals. The paladin snapped her attention upwards, her gaze locking with none other than the elf she was there to help, El Moonburst. “El!” Nora exclaimed in excitement, followed by a flurry of quick hushes from the Tidesages studying alongside her. Nora winced, slowly turning her head to the nearest sage who had made their displeasure known and offered a small, embarrassed wave. “Sorry.” Nora whispered apologetically, then turned her attention back to El, whose jet black hair and barely-there blue skirt had begun to swirl violently in the wind. Nora stifled a laugh as El did her best to tame her hair with one hand. It was then Nora noticed there was a rather large tome in El’s grip, clenched tightly to her chest with her other hand. “Hey? What do you have there?” Nora whispered loudly, pointing towards the tome in question. El, having now rangled her hair for the time being, looked down at the tome, then to Nora. “I… think… it might help us?” El stammered, her voice clearly riddled with nerves.Surprise and hope jolted through Nora’s body at those words. Could she finally be done with all this reading? All that searching had begun to affect her workout routine, but it had been for a good cause. “Oh! Great! Come on down and we can take a look together.” Nora whispered loudly again, motioning towards the stone stairs on the other side of the Library. El offered a nervous nod, then began to make her way towards the stairs. It was… odd. If El had discovered such a breakthrough, Nora would have expected her to be far more excited. Though, she had defended that fiend inside her the first time she told Nora about it. She waved the idea to the side. El was smarter than to trust that thing after Nora told her what it could do. But then… why the nerves…?Nora didn’t have the time to ponder, as El approached her spot, her usual smile still oddly absent. “Hey-... are you okay, El? You look-.”“I need to talk to you… alone. Is there a spot away from everyone?” El whispered in a harsh and hushed tone. It wasn’t like El at all to cut Nora off, unless it was important. Nora’s concern must have shown on her face, as El shyly averted her gaze downward. “Sorry… I just-... it’s important.”Nora nodded, at her friend, reaching forward to lift her gaze by the chin. “You’re okay, El. Yeah, I think I know of a spot. The Tidesages said they have an underground area here, and they offered to let me use it once I found the book I needed, should I not want any distractions while I study.” Nora responded, motioning towards a nearby open cellar door. Urgently, the pair walked downward into the dark and damp room. It was rather poorly lit, having only one lantern to flicker rays of golden light over the assorted desks and additional bookcases that lined the walls. “Well… at least we won’t get any wind down here.” Nora quipped, sauntering towards the wall with the lone lantern. She’d need it to read whatever El had brought after all.

“Okay El, what have you fou-.” Nora cut herself off. As she had twirled around to lean on the wall, El had extended her right arm and firmly planted it right next to Nora’s head. A devilish grin etched itself onto the elf’s face as she placed the tome down on a desk to Nora’s right. The paladin blushed lightly at the aggressively flirtatious move, rolling her eyes playfully at El. “El, you know we can’t-.” Before she could finish her thought, however, El had clasped her left hand up against Nora’s mouth, silencing her.

“El isn’t at the helm at the moment.” the little elf cooed, prompting a puzzled look from Nora. Realization chilled her entire body as she watched El’s normally brilliant blue eyes be replaced by a violet hue, as though someone had injected ink into a cup of water. Nora scowled, reaching up to rip away the hand that held her mouth, holding it harshly to the right side of her face. “Wretch!” Nora harshly whispered. The last thing they needed was unwanted attention right now. “How did you find out about me? And what did you do to El?”“Fiesty. I knew I liked you, Nora.” El’s voice purred, sending a fresh wave of chills down Nora’s spine. How did it know? “First, I am not called ‘Wretch’. You may call me El’ure. Second, let me assure you, your El is perfectly fine. Just… how to put it… In the passenger’s seat? Hmm?” The entity hummed again as she forced El’s face to smirk in a way that made Nora sick to her stomach. “As for how I found out… You really thought I didn’t see and hear everything this girl does? Let’s just say… her mental walls are dreadfully thin. You tasted wonderful by the way.”Nora’s heart dropped as she remembered back to that night in El’s tavern. That oh so sweet moment was meant to be a secret between just her and El. Now this void beast not only knew about it, but had been watching?! “You vile-!” Nora hissed as she pressed her free hand forward, pushing El’s puppeted body back enough for Nora to take a defensive stance. “Why wait until now to tell me? If you knew we are trying to get rid of you, why didn’t-.” Nora started, though cut herself off as El’s right hand was raised to request a pause. Nora wasn’t quite sure why, but she obliged.“Allow me to be clear, El has been a kind and… entertaining host. At the same time, however, she can be incredibly stubborn.” El’ure sighed, reaching over to grab the tome El had brought along. “While I do gain strength every time she gives me a treat to keep herself alive, the pace is going all too slowly for my liking. I’ll admit, Nora, it is taking quite a bit of focus to keep talking with you.” Nora’s scowl intensified as she maintained her stance. She’d not let this thing lull her into a false sense of security. “Okay… so, what? You wish to aid us in getting rid of you? I’m calling bull on that, and your “name”. That doesn’t sound like any void entity I’ve met before..” Nora snorted, gritting her teeth at the clear lie. “The void wants nothing more than to consume anything and everything. Why should I think you’re any different?”El’ure sighed as she shook her head. “Oh, Nora. So… closed-minded. Though I’d expect little else from one who is willingly poisoning themselves with the Light.” El’ure paused, seeming to note the snarl that had unwittingly formed on Nora’s face. Upon seeing such, El’ure raised her free hand, as one might do in a surrender. “I will admit,the name I have given you is not my true name, but one I have elected to give myself. As for El, I have become fond of our mutual friend. She has treated me well, and her antics have become quite… entertaining to watch. I simply wish to do so from afar, whist-... Nora, put your arms down, you look ridiculous.”“Go to hell, liar.” Nora snapped as she defiantly kept up her defensive stance. “Whilst what? You terrorize the people of Azeroth as you try to take our home for the Void?”El’ure shook her head as she rolled her eyes. “I care not for the cosmic wars. The ones you call ‘Old Gods’ gave me to Neltharion as little more than a toy to experiment and play with after they ripped me from my home.” El’ure frowned. “My goal is simple. To return to my people, my home. Surely you understand this feeling well? The desire to return to what you once had after it was torn away from you?” Of course Nora did. She’d spent years searching for Clare for that specific reason. Too specific a reason. A reason El was aware of… and by proxy, so did El’ure.“Don’t toy with me, beast. I know El keeping you contained is saving a lot of lives. The only way you get out is over my dead body.” Nora snapped back. El’ure quirked an eyebrow, then sighed once more, disappointed. “All you Light-bearers. Always so self-righteous. Fine. You want the full truth? The longer your precious El feeds me, the stronger I become. If I do not pass on to a stronger vessel before the end of season next, I will be too powerful to transfer my essence without killing her in the process. It is either that, or I take her body for myself, not because I want to, but because there will be more of me in her than there will be of her.” El’ure snapped, tossing the book harshly towards Nora. The paladin caught it mid-air, then quickly reoriented herself to use the book as a makeshift shield. Now that she was able to get a better look at it, Nora noticed the tome looked similar to those kept in Valdraken, and was wrapped in bindings used by the Black Dragonflight.“Didn’t you just say you were struggling to keep this conversation going? Which is it? Are you becoming too powerful or are you barely holding on?” Nora smirked, clearly having caught the fiend in a lie. “Embelishment, my dear Nora. Though it did take a great deal of strength to retrieve that tome. I had to take poor El onto a trip deep into Zaralek Cavern to retrieve it.”Nora’s scowl returned as she let silence fill the room for a moment. There was no way she was going to trust anything El’ure gave her, but, if what it said was true, then El did not have a lot of time left. “Is this really a risk you can afford to take?” El’ure whispered, tilting her head to the side as she shrugged. “I’ll leave it to you to decide. Should you actually wish to save your precious El, follow the steps on page 42. I’ll take over once you do.”Before Nora could respond, El's body hunched over, grabbing at her stomach as a sickening gargle erupted from her throat. The Quel'dorei fell to her knees, her right hand reaching out to prop herself up as a vile violet liquid suddenly poured from her mouth and pooled between the two women. “El!” Nora exclaimed as she knelt down and placed her hand onto the monk's shoulder. Nora debated on if she should use the Light to help, but given how Light and Void tend to end… explosively, she restrained herself.After a moment that felt like an eternity, El slowly lifted her head, just in time for Nora to see the last of the purple hue from El's eyes vanish like smoke. She was back. “I… don't like that feeling.” El whimpered as she wiped her mouth with the long of her skirt. Nora didn't hesitate to launch forward to bring El into a tight embrace, pulling the little elf up and away from the sickly purple liquid her body just expunged. “How-.... how much of that did you catch?” Nora cautiously inquired as she pulled out of the hug to lead El towards a nearby chair. “Just… snippets here and there. When El'ure takes over… it feels like I-... like I'm stuck in a swirling purple storm, only able to glimpse through the haze for seconds at a time.” El explained, taking the seat offered by Nora. Her gaze turned towards the tome El'ure had placed on the table before giving El the reins back. “Page 42… she told you, right?”Nora nodded, reaching over to grab the tome and flicking it open. “Yeah… I'm not a fan of this El. Even if-.” Nora froze as she arrived at the page in question. Half the page was ripped out, just after the second step, and instruction that did not fill Nora with confidence. 2) Assemble flesh touched by Void. “Yeah… I know… not exactly confidence inspiring.” El started. “I think she tore the rest out herself. No other pages are like that…”Nora sighed and gently closed the book, resting it once more on the table. She placed both her hands on either side of it and let her head hang down, letting her blonde hair sway in front of her face as she thought. Nora did not like this plan at all, even less so since it was conjured up by the very entity they were trying to banish. But… if it spoke the truth, El had very little time left, with no way to buy more. And what if El'ure was lying, and they actually had plenty of time? Would saying no make her angry? Would she hurt El in retaliation?Wordlessly, Nora turned around, leaning her rear on the table and crossed her arms as she began to study El. Nora knew the girl was strong willed, and could fight well. She'd always seemed so confident and lighthearted, traits that had attracted Nora's interest in the first place.That wasn't the El that sat before her now. Who Nora saw now was a scared girl, trapped in her own body with a demon licking its lips to devour her very soul. A girl pleading for help. A girl with very little time left.“Shit…” Nora huffed, reaching back to pull the book to her right side, gripping it tightly. “Can you meet me in Brennadam in 3 days time? The Storm's Wake posted an aid request to Heroes of the Alliance a few days ago. Apparently there has been an increase in cultist activities there.” Nora paused, burrowing her brow at the words she was about to utter. “If there's a place we might be able to find… ‘Flesh touched by Void’... that's likely our best bet.”El sunk back in her chair as she turned her gaze down to her feet. Silently, she thought for a moment, seeming to weigh options in her head. “Are… are you sure this is the only way?” Nora sighed, shaking her head as she moved to close the distance between her and El. “No. But, I fear we might not have the time to find another.” Nora hummed, placing her free hand onto El's shoulder. “And that's not a risk I'm willing to take.”

“For the last time, by order of the Storm's Wake, the road to the Shrine of Storms has been closed until the cultist threat has been dealt with. You want passage? Get a bounty seal!”Nora huffed in frustration as she turned her back to the guard. She knew he was just doing his job, but he was quickly becoming an obstacle. “Hey.” El hummed, reaching her hand up to rest on Nora's shoulder as her ever contagious smile flickered onto her face. “Don't worry about it. Let's go to the Town Hall. Maybe Brother Pike can help us out.”Nora sighed, flicking one last annoyed glance back towards the row of guards blocking the path, then nodded to El. “Fine.” El's smile grew slightly for the briefest moment, before offering a curt nod towards the guard. “We'll be back.” The elf lightly snapped, turning her now quite bare body away from all present, hiding her behind from onlookers by her cloak. Nora followed along as El lead her back towards the center of the town. Nora hadn't expected El to arrive in the same combat attire Nora had met her in. Not because she expected El to suddenly become clothing conscious, but rather at the fact she'd wear basically nothing in such cold weather.“I don't see how you aren't freezing.” Nora chuckled, quickly jogging to walk next to El, whose returned Nora's chuckle with a giggle. “I think its either my scars or a her the Amani put on me. It's difficult for me to feel temperature, beyond extreme hot or extreme cold. Except on my tits and face since I dont really have any scars on them. Fel- half the time I don't realize I can't tell I've burned my hip on the oven until someone mentions seeing a burn mark on my skin.” El explained. Nora canted her head to the side, quirking her brow curiously. “I've never heard of a Hex able to do that… so, I guess the scars it is then. Not an advantage most would consider.” At that, El shrugged, guiding Nora towards one of the bigger buildings in town, the Hall Nora assumed. “Yeah. That's one of the reasons I haven't gotten rid of them. That and the constant itching when wearing clothes gives me that excuse to be naked on the battlefield.” El snickered as the pair approached the steps of one of the buildings. “You just want any excuse to be nude in general.” Nora chuckled in response, prompting a smirk from the elf. “Hey, I'm not hearing any complaints!”The pair laughed as they entered what Nora assumed was the Town Hall. Even in the face of pure annihilation, El somehow managed to lift Nora’s spirits. How did she do it? Nora wouldn't have the time to think on it. The moment they walked through the door, the gentle voice of a man in Tidesage greeted them.

“Well met- er…” the man paused, his attention diverted to El nearly instantly. “Apologies. I had assumed, given your attire ma'am, you two might have come from the Alliance to aid us.” The man spoke to Nora, doing his best to avoid looking in El's direction at all costs. He extended his hand towards Nora, smiling warmly. “I am Brother Pike.” Nora simply smiled and took the hand offered to her, shaking it gently so as to not crush it within her gauntlet. “Nora, Order of the Silver Hand. And no, we aren't here from Stormwind. Rather, for our own reasons.”“We need your help sir.” El jumped in. “We need to get to The Shrine of Storms as soon as possible. It's a matter of life and death.” As El spoke, the Tidesage shook Nora's hand, quirking his brow in El's direction for a nanosecond before forcing his gaze to focus solely on Nora. “Well, that is a tall order, miss. We've seen an increase in cultist activity near there, so we've locked down the area pianos caution. The last thing we need is like-minded people claiming innocence before making their way there to bolster their ranks. Surely you understand?”“We know.” Nora huffed, pulling her hand back. “Your guard made it abundantly clear. I can assure you, void lovers aren't friends of mine.” Nora lifted her hand she'd just used to shake Brother Pike's hand, and in a flash, a hammer made of pure Light appeared in her grasp. That seemed enough to ease the Tidesage's mind, as his look turned far more friendly. “That is good to hear. Perhaps we can come to some sort of arrangement. Please, come to my office.” Brother Pike said, motioning the pair to follow him up the stairs.“As I'm sure you've discovered already, no one gets to use the main road to the Shrine unless they have a Bounty Seal. I give those out personally to those who come from Stormwind to help clear out the cultists that are attempting to reclaim the place for themselves.” Brother Pike explained as he pushed open the door to one of the upstairs rooms. The office was quite small, holding host to a desk, 3 chairs, and a few Tidesage themed decor items within. Brother Pike quickly moved to sit at the chair placed behind the desk, motioning for Nora and El to sit in the two chairs opposite him. “We are aware of this, but… we do not have the time to take out cultists first. Our mission is quite time sensitive.” Nora explained as she took her seat. El did the same, turning her cloak round to cover her torso so the Tidesage could look at her properly. He seemed relieved. “I understand. I was not going to consider sending you to do such a task. Rather… I have a more… personal request.” Brother Pike sighed, reaching into his desk to retrieve a slip of paper. He began writing on it with a reservoir pen.“Not long ago, I took on an apprentice. A bright young girl named Maren Tidebreak. 19. Blonde hair that she always keeps in a loose sailor’s braid. Blue eyes. Anchor Tattoo on her right shoulder.” Brother Pike said as he continued to write, his expression souring a bit. “Unfortunately, she is also quite stubborn. This morning, she vanished, leaving a note on my desk that she was going to scout out the Shrine, against my wishes.” Pike explained, reaching into his desk to pull out a seal and wax. “If your quest is as important as you say, then I shall not keep you to regale it to me. I simply ask that, while you are at the Shrine, please keep a lookout for Maren, and if you find her alive, please send her back to me at once. If you agree to these terms…” Brother Pike paused, pouring some of the melted wax onto the bottom of the paper. “... this Bounty Seal is yours.”Nora and El exchanged looks, with El shrugging with a smile as Nora nodded. “You have a deal, Brother Pike.” Nora hummed, raising to a stand to offer her hand to the Tidesage. With a relieved smile, Brother Pike quickly stamped the warm wax, then gave Nora yet another handshake. “Thank you, ladies. You'll be doing me a great service, regardless of the outcome.” Brother Pike said, motioning them towards the door. “You're welcome, Brother Pike.” Nora started, making her way towards the door as El flicked her cloak back around her. “Light willing, we'll be able to finish our business and bring her back, safe and sound.”

After 5 uneventful hours of walking on the main trail, Nora's plate-clad feet felt as though they would fall off. She'd been tempted to ask the stable in Brennadam for a pair of horses, but she knew good and well she couldn't guarantee they'd return. As such, Nora was thankful the pair had gotten the early start they had, despite the guard conundrum. Nora had promised herself she wouldn't rest until either El requested it, or they could see the Shrine in the distance, and finally, as the pair crested a hill, the imposing temple came into view, and even closer than Nora had expected it to be.

“Oh thank fel!” El exclaimed, letting out a massive sigh of relief. “I can't even feel the bottom of my feet and I feel like they've been ground to stubs!” The Quel'dorei giggled, moving towards the edge of the road where she plopped down to sit in the grass. Nora chuckled, scanning the surrounding area quickly. “There, let's see if there's a spot to rest on the beach. I need to spread my toes.” Nora suggested. The road would still be in view from the spot she saw, and it would be almost impossible for anyone to sneak up on them in such an open space. Even stealthed rogues would leave footprints in the sand. It was perfect.If it hadn’t been for the blood.

El noticed it before Nora did, having taken to dashing towards the beach. The moment the paladin saw the monk freeze mid-stride, she knew something was off. Her pained toes be damned, as Nora broke into a jog to catch up to El’s position. It started with a small puddle that had soaked into the sand, enough to come from a small gash to someone’s leg or arm. A few yards away, another puddle, enough to come from a harsh wound. A few feet from that, a trail had formed within a long divot in the sand, leading towards, and eventually over a large boulder nearby.“Eyes up.” Nora instructed, pulling her sword and shield from her back. “Someone got dragged.” El nodded, kneeling down to inspect the blood pool. “Fresh-ish. No more than a few hours old.” She confirmed, returning to a stand. Nora responded to the words with a nod, putting her pointer finger over her mouth to hush El. El returned the nod, raising her hands up and shifting her feet to take on the fighting stance of a monk trained in the practice of The White Tiger. Quietly and together, the pair carefully approached the boulder, leaning up as far as they could against it to try and get a glimpse of where the blood trail led.They found their answer. A sickening, vile answer. Not 10 feet away, a pack of 6 tiny, disgusting eyeless creatures with massive gnashing teeth and tentacles for every limb were gathered around a body, gorging themselves on the flesh of a poor human woman with blonde hair, torn Tidesage robes, and half of what once was an anchor tattoo on her right shoulder. Two of the beasts seemed to even be playing with one of the girl’s eyes, which were, of course, blue.“Voidlings.” Nora hissed. She’d read about these little fiends. Easy to take down alone, but in a group, quite dangerous. Nora shot a glance in El’s direction, who suddenly looked rather queasy. In a comforting motion, Nora reached her hand over to gently pat El on the shoulder, snapping the little elf out of her disgusted trance. Nora leaned in to El, and El did the same, as the pair began to whisper.“We still have the element of surprise. I say we each take half the group. You right, me left.” Nora instructed, prompting a curt nod from El. “Right. On your move. “ El confirmed, crouching down as she prepared to use her athletic ability to leap over the boulder. Nora smirked as she inched towards where the boulder met the water and rose her weapon into an offensive stance.“Go!” Nora shouted as she vaulted over the boulder, followed quickly by El launching herself up and over the massive rock. Nora was first to draw blood. As she had vaulted over the boulder, Nora raised her left fist, summoning the same hammer of pure Light Nora had shown off to Brother Pike and chucked it at the closest Voidling. Before it even knew what it it, the voidling was instantly burnt to a crisp. At the same moment, El slammed both her feet down hard onto a second Voidling, squishing it into a violet void paste. Not wanting to waste even a second for these fiends to gather their bearings, Nora pulled her sword back to her right side as it began to hum with Holy Light, then gripped it as tight as she could as she slung it horizontally in front of her. Two of the voidlings were sliced in half, screeching as they were torched by their cosmic opposite. Her job was done almost as soon as it had begun. Efficient.In an effort to end this as quickly as possible, El reached inward to find her anger, so often kept in check. She’d tap into it now to ensure a swift end for these creatures. El pointed her fingertips towards the two remaining Voidlings that were now charging her. In a flash of red light, however, El sent several highly charged volts of Crimson Crackling Jade Lightning directly into the mouths of her foes. They screamed in agony for several seconds and they burned from within, quaking violently until they finally crumpled to the ground, dead.Once the pair confirmed there weren't any more voidlings to squash, they turned to each other and nodded. Nora sheathed her sword and shield, then turned to look at the mangled body of the Tidesage girl. Her torso was torn open, a wound open from her loins up to her neck, most of her muscle and organ were either missing or chewed beyond recognition. Her face was missing an eye, though the look of pure terror frozen upon it was unmistakable.“She never stood a chance alone. Not if she got ambushed…” Nora sighed, kneeling down to check the young woman’s right shoulder. “Yep. It’s her. Shit… Brother Pike isn’t going to be happy.”“Perhaps not, but this is quite fortunate for us.” El’s voice cooed from behind Nora. It had taken on a different tone now, one she’d only heard once before back at the Archives, but she recognized it instantly. Nora drew her sword and shield once more as she swirled on a dime, staying low as she drew her protection up to cover her torso. El’s eyes had once again turned that sickly violet hue, and her face was stuck in that vile smirk that betrayed El’s playful one.Nora scoffed as she furrowed her brow, standing her ground as she once more conversed with that vile parasite within her friend. “A warning would have been nice. And what do you mean it’ll be helpful? This is a tragedy.”El’ure nodded her head, half frowning as though internally she was saying good point. “For mortals, perhaps. You’ve done as I asked though. Flesh touched by Void, present and accounted for. You job is done, dame. Now, step aside, less you wish for your friend to suffer a similar fate.” El’ure hissed as she confidently puppeted El’s body to approach the pile of flesh and bone both the Voidlings and the duo had left in their wake.Nora hesitated. There was no way this was right, but what other choice did she have? Against her better judgement, she stepped aside, but kept her blade trained on the entity. Her original plan was still in play at least. If she could manage it, the moment El’ure was free of El’s body, Nora would cut it down.Nora kept her distance as she watched El’ure toss the voidlings into a pile over Maren’s body, filling the hole in her torso with the creatures. The sight brought bile up Nora’s throat, but she held it back, for the moment at least. Nora kept her eyes pinned onto the back of El’s cloak, watching intently and waiting to see just how wrong this was going to do. She knew, she’d only get this one chance.Once the pile was complete, El’ure moved to kneel in front of her sick masterpiece and rose her hands in the air. Twisted words Nora couldn’t understand erupted from El’ure’s lips, Shath’Yar Nora presumed. After a few seconds, the pile of bones and flesh began to glow a slight shade of purple. Suddenly, a sick cracking noise erupted from the pile, as the bones of the voidlings and the human woman were ripped from their bodies and began floating in the air. They quickly moved to form the outline of a humanoid body, with the bones of the voidlings filling in any spaces that were missing or damaged. If Nora was nauseous before, she’d have lost her lunch now. Once the bones were in order, the flesh of the voidlings were the next to be grafted. The skin of each beast flipped inside out, exposing their crude organs to the sea air. Gently, as El’ure spoke, the organs would squish together to form a sort of paste in mid-air, then morph to form the desired organ for the humanoid body. First a heart, then the lungs, stomach, liver, intestines… on and on until the only things missing were the skin and eyes. It was then Nora came to a stark realization. These creatures did not possess eyes. Maren however…Nora watched, disgusted, as the eyeball that had been a plaything moments ago and the one still lodged in Maren’s socket began to float upward, turned the same violet shade El’ure’s currently were, and inserted themselves right where they needed to be. “Perfect.” Came a hiss from El’s mouth. Not a breath later, El began to scream in agony as the skin from Maren began to syphon itself from the human’s form, and seemingly stitched itself together on the floating humanoid body starting with the head. Instinctively, Nora lurched forward, dropping her weapons as she went to grasp her friend. “El? EL!” Nora cried, horrified as she saw El’s form go from the curvy figure she knew all too well to begin to go alarmingly gaunt at a rapid rate. In mere seconds, El went from looking healthy, to looking like a withering Shal’dorei.Without thinking, Nora placed her hand onto El’s stomach and began to pour as much radiant Light into her friend as she could sustain, only to be disrupted by a sickening laugh. Nora shot her gaze forward and upward towards where the sound had come from. The head of the humanoid body had fully been covered in a layer of purple hued skin, giving El’ure the ability to speak as the rest of the body continued to be stitched together. To Nora’s abject horror, the face she now stared at was a spitting image of El’s.“Ahhhhhh.” El’ure sighed, contently. “It’s been so long since I’ve taken a proper mortal form. Though, I suppose I have you to thank for that, Miss Silvercrest. You’ve been so helpful.” Nora snarled at El’ure’s gloating, moving to raise her free hand towards El’ure. This was her moment. A quick burst of Light to this thing’s chest would end it! Before Nora could get the blast off though, El’ure flicked her un-skinned finger towards Nora. In a blast of pain, Nora gripped her head, a torrent of screams filling it, making it almost impossible to focus on keeping El alive, but Nora managed, if only just. “Your friend’s life hangs by a thread, Shieldmaiden.” El’ure hissed, her neck and shoulders having been stitched together now. “I believe your little Light is the only thing keeping her clinging to this world. If you wish to strike me down, by all means, fulfill your blind duty as a Paladin. But know… if you do so…” El’ure trailed off, her gaze sharply pointing towards El’s screaming body. “... your precious little El will follow me into death.” El’ure jeered, striking the most vile smirk Nora had seen yet.No! How did she let this thing get her into this situation?! This was the wrong decision! There had to have been another way! Nora thought. She was pinned. Do her duty, or save her friend. Nora tried to focus as hard as she could, keeping the Light pouring into El’s form while Nora weighed the options…What was there to weigh though?With an annoyed grunt, Nora took one last look up to El’ure’s half formed body. Her bare breasts were skinned now, as was her stomach. All that remained was her loins and legs and the beasts would be free. With an angry yell, Nora tore the hand from her head and planted it firmly onto El’s chest, using both hands to pour all of the healing Light the paladin could muster into the monk to keep her alive. Then, El abruptly fell backward to the ground, taking Nora along with her. The Paladin winced as she let the Light fade from her hands, looking upon the body of her friend, gaunt and quivering, as though she had not eaten in months. Still though, she was breathing, albeit labored.Nora let out a sigh of relief as she saw El’s chest rising and falling. Remembering their situation however, Nora spun around, looking back at where a danger had surely been birthed. Standing in the sand, was a twisted amalgamation of void and flesh, an affront to all Nora held dear, and it wore the face of her friend. El’ure had taken on El’s bare, curvy form, albeit with a purple hue and with perfect skin devoid of El’s scars. It had even stolen El’s freckles! Nora watched as it took in a deep breath, curl its toes in the sand, and flicker open its eyes. Eyes that burned a haunting violet.El’ure smiled gently as her gaze turned down to meet Nora’s, who was already reaching for her blade and shield. As Nora attempted to charge her, the air around El’ure erupted in purple mist, and the reborn shadow menace evaporated in it. Nora phased through the mist, hoping slightly she’d follow El’ure to wherever she was going, but alas, she remained on that beach, left with a few daunting words that echoed in her head.“Worry not, Shieldmaiden. I’m sure we’ll meet again.”

Nora

El

It took Nora a day to return to Boralus with El. Brother Pike was rather helpful in stabilizing the elf, but the moment he saw the bloodied Tidesage linens Nora had used to wrap El in, he knew his apprentice was gone. If he mourned her passing, Nora never caught it. Either he was good at hiding it, or he’d just lost too many friends before. It didn’t matter now though. The job was done, and El was safe. At least, that’s what Nora hoped.

In reality, El had not awoken for 3 days now. Nora had placed El in her bed to rest, but even all these days later, her skin was still rather shallow. So, Nora did what she could with the Light, resting her hands on El’s hand and letting the healing power seep into El’s form as a sort of sustenance for hours on end. When Nora wasn’t attending to El directly, she’d be pleading with the Light, praying for El’s salvation. All the while, Nora fought within herself. Had she made the right decision? Sure, El was alive, for now, but so too was El’ure. Would the life of her friend have been a fair trade to strike such a dangerous monster down? Would the Light not heed her prayer for El, as punishment for picking her friend over her duty?All questions were put to rest, when on the 4th day, just as Nora began to feed the Light into El, the little elf’s brilliant blue eyes flickered open, locking lazily onto Nora, and squinting in confusion. “N-... Nora?” El whispered in a raspy tone, prompting Nora to cheer in excitement as she launched herself towards El, bringing her into a tight embrace “Hey there, sleepy head! Thank fuck you’re alive!” Nora cried, releasing El from the hug before the monk could even reciprocate. Not that El could. She was still far too weak. “By the Light, you must be starving! Here, let me warm up that porridge!” Nora exclaimed, darting towards a nearby bowl.“What… happened?” El squeaked, scratching her right eye with a fist. “The last thing I remember was us walking on a beach. Then… things went black.” El sighed, doing her best to sit up in the bed. Nora was too far away to stop her, having begun to whip up the quick meal. “We did it, El. That nasty thing is out of you now.” Nora said, her tone none too chipper. El turned her head to face Nora’s busy body, canting her head to the side ever so slightly. “You don’t sound too happy about that… She… got away, I take it?” El reasoned aloud, prompting Nora to pause her preparation. She sighed. “Yes… She took advantage of your deterioration and my-... desire to save you.” Nora explained, turning towards El to bring over the bowl of fresh porridge and a glass of water. El’s gaze sank to her stomach, though when Nora approached with the bowl and water, El took it. She knew better than to fight a caregiver. “It’s not your fault, Nora. I know a choice like that is a tough one to call. But-... I am glad you made this decision. I like being alive after all.” El tried to quip, taking the first bite of the warm meal Nora had made for her.“It gets worse, El…” Nora started, making sure to keep the glass of water within El’s reach. “She has your face. Your body. Only-, she’s purple.” Nora confessed, sighing with a shake of her head. “I… don’t even want to think of the trouble she could cause with that.” At Nora’s revelation, El remained silent for a moment, her gaze locked onto Nora as she chewed her first bite. Once she swallowed it, she’d finally speak up. “Well… I’ll make sure to tell all my friends that if they see me with purple skin, that they need to run.” El hummed, reaching down to take another bite.Nora’s gaze snapped to El, surprise on her face. “You aren’t the least bit worried about her stealing your identity?” Nora inquired. To which, El simply shrugged as she swallowed her second bite and reached for the glass of water, which Nora obliged. “A little. But, it's not like I can change that at the moment, right?” El responded, going to take a sip of the water. She ended up gulping the whole thing down. “We’ll cross that bridge when we get there. For now, I’m just glad I get to share another day with you.” El hummed, handing the glass back to Nora with a beaming smile. That infectious smile. It always put one in kind onto Nora’s face, and this moment wasn’t any different.“You’re really special, you know that El?” Nora said, raising herself up to refill the cup with fresh water. El simply giggled through her nose as she chewed another bite of her porridge. “I’m just being me! Nothing special about that.” El hummed, leaning back in the bed once more. “No-... I mean, you are special El. To me. If it were almost anyone else in your situation… I-... I dunno… I feel I might have chosen differently.” Nora said, struggling to admit such a realization as she handed the cup of water back to El. It was true. Her duty to the Light was her strength, second only to her loyalty to her sister, Clare, and now to El it seemed.El stared at the cup for a moment, seemingly dumbfounded. Nora could see the gears in her head turn for a few long seconds before El’s gaze turned back up to meet Nora’s. “Thank you… Nora. It means a lot.” El whispered softly, taking a normal sip of water this time. To that, Nora nodded, moving to sit next to El once more.“El… I want-... I need to make this right.” Nora started, watching as the elf began to eat again. “I promised you before, I will not let it win, and I plan to keep that promise. Once you feel better, we can go hunt this thing down, before it causes unforeseen damage to you, or others.” Nora finished, her tone as resolute as her will. She didn’t care about if she made the right call or not. She chose El. And Nora was determined to make it the right choice.No matter how long it took, she’d end the threat of El’ure, forever.

Ziva

El

The evening air of the Ghostlands would bring upon a symphony of leaves rustling within the treetops as El, dressed in her finest blue dress approached the estate of one Alaric Autumrest. Coming to a stop at a nearby felled tree stump, she pulled
out a map to check her current location. "Hmmm... yep, that seems right. Just up the hill then."El hummed to herself, beginning to roll the map back up and slide it into her dress' belt.Ziva had been stalking the area for some time. Slowly watching the roads. Looking out for possible victims. Not of herself, but of the man she had a bounty for. Alaric Autumrest. As El would move to pass by? Ziva would move quietly and effortlessly from
around the stump, only to end up behind El and gently tap her shoulder. "Where you heading, girlie?"El yelped at the sudden appearance of the masked elf, jumping back in shock, then quickly taking the pose Ziva might recognize as belonging to a monk of the White Tiger. She did not immedietly attack though, but kept a distance. "Just-... up the hill
here. I have a meeting with-... someone." El stammered, keeping her eyes trained on Ziva's hands, just in case.Ziva would move ever slowly. A hand? To raise and slowly remove the metal plating of her mask. Her features a little more visual now. "Relax." Her arms to cross. Eyes scanning the woman and her defensive fighting form. "I'm not going to strike you, if that's what you're worried about." A pause once more. "Meeting who?"

El kept her eyes trained on the hand that rose up, her stance stiffening slightly as Ziva went to remove her mask. Upon seeing the woman's face, El eased her stance, moving to stand upright, but still kept her distance. "The man of the house. He and I have... business to attend to." El paused, scanning Ziva quickly. "Nice pants, whatever your name is."
Ziva 's eyes seemed to continue to scan the woman as she would shift. Taking in her features. Scarring. Attire. A small hum to escape her and a small 'tch'. "And would such a man be named, Alaric Autumrest?"El squinted her eyes at Ziva, tilting her head slightly as curiosity got the better of her. "Maybe... What's it to you? Did he double book himself this evening?"
Ziva would shift her stance and weight unto her right foot. Her arms remaining crossed and non threatening. "I would hope not. If he did, I may had missed someone going up there." She would scan the woman once more. "He has a bounty on his head, girlie.
Sex trafficking. He sets up his 'booking', and the girls? Go missing."El 's face went as white as snow as the little elf froze for a moment. With a gulp, she shot a quick glance up to the estate, then quickly darted behind the tree stump, grabbing Ziva's hand to drag her along.

"Holy fuck-. I-I own a brothel. I was supposed to meet him tonight to talk about him helping me set up a location in Eversong." El stammered in a quick yet hushed whisper. "Do-... do you have any proof? A bounty warrant or something?"Ziva would blink a little as she would be grabbed. The crossing of her arms released before she would be pulled away from the road. "So he was either trying to take you out first so he could then move towards those who work in your brothel...or...he was going to try to sweet talk you into 'lending' your ladies for his own pockets." At the mention of proof? Ziva would nod her head. A small pouch to her side? She would move to open it and producing a piece of paper. It would read: 'Wanted. Alaric Autumnrest. Crime: Suspected Kidnapping and Trafficking of Sin'dorei Women. Action: Return alive. Pay: 1000 gold pieces, with the addition of 200 gold for any women brought back.' The paper would also have a sketch of the man.El 's face somehow went even more pale as she grabbed the paper and saw the face attached. It was undoubtedly the man she was meant to meet tonight. "I... I fear the second option. Oh fel-, I can't imagine what would have happened if some of my girls just-..." El trailed off, absently handing the paper back. "T-Thank you, for stopping me. No idea how many lives you just saved." El sighed, looking back up to Ziva, a sudden expression of determination on her face. "I wanna help you get this bastard. You can keep the reward. I have no respect for people like that. Like him ."Ziva would let out a half chuckle. "Just another day. Lives saved is just an added bonus of both making coin and putting this man away. Filthy. Tch." She would look into that determine face. "Are you sure? He is well guarded. His coin also has power like
the coin paying me, and these people have no morales." She would scrunch her nose. "How do you think we would do it, hm?~" A small hum to escape her, her curiousity seemingly sparked by the determination.El gave an affirming nod to Ziva at her questioning. "All the more reason to put him away. We take him alive, they can interrogate him and find his associates." she hummed, pausing to think for a moment. "Well, we can do it one of two ways. First, I am a monk before I am a whore, so you don't have to worry about me being a liability if things get violent. Option 1, we storm the place, take out his guards, knock him out, and get out before they can call in reinforcements. Option 2 though..." El trailed off, smirking as she held out her right hand. A small cloud of jade-green mist appeared within the Quel'dorei's palm, then just as quickly as it had popped into existence, it faded away, revealing a small baggie. "This, is Sleep Dust. I tend to use it on customers that are either becoming to irritable, or I find annoying and don't wanna fuck them at that moment. It puts the victim to sleep, while giving them lucid dreams about their current desire, which at that moment, would likely be fucking me. I could go in, since I am expected, knock him out, open a back door for you, then we pull him out of there and back to wherever you're planning to take him. We'd likely need to take out any guards once you're inside, but ideally, we could do that quietly as well." El finished, nodding to Ziva. "Your operation though, so it's your call."Ziva ears would flicker a bit as El would speak. A small blink as the phrase of 'a monk before I am a whore' but she didn't pry into it. "Valid options through and through. The second would attract less guards in the long run...but...there is a higher risk to yourself. What if he attempts to bind you from the get go? Say, the guards escort you to his chambers and immediately grab you. What will you do then?"El 's brow furrowed at Ziva's valid points, bringing her fingers up to her chin to think. "Hmmm... Well, we don't have time to get communication crystals, so that's not an option... I also didn't mention to him that I was a monk, so I can imagine that detail would be a surprise to both him and his guards. If I were to put up a fight, they'd likely call any guard at the front gate, so you could wait to see if they peel away. If they do, then you can tack me on as a saved girl when you come in to save me. If not, you can wait and see when I find a backdoor for you. I imagine his desire to actually set up his own sex club so he could syphon women from it for his own goals would overcome his current desire to cause me harm. Unless he really is that short sighted…”Ziva would move to place the metal plating back to her hood. Her features concealed once more. "I can work with this. I will attempt to keep to the shadows and keep an eye out. From there we will adapt the plan to however it goes." She would nod her head. "Indeed. Money and women can taint one's vision at times. Especially in his case."El nodded and rose up, placing the bag of Sleep Dust into her beltloop. "Alright. He told me to meet the guards at the main house, which is at the back of the estate. If you wanna hang around back there until I can find an opening to let you in, that would be ideal. Just make sure you can see the guards as well." With that, El stood up, dusted off her dress, then offered a hand to Ziva to help her up as well. "Ready?"Ziva would blink at the offered hand for a moment before taking it. She would stand, still towering over the other woman a tad before nodding her head. "Ready. I will start moving towards the back. Be safe out there yeah?"El offered a quick nod before responding. “Same to you.”

Chapter 2

Ziva would watch as El approached the 2 guards stationed outside the main house, who after a quick list check ushered her inside. One guard followed her, whilst the other remained on watch. She was in the lion's den now. From a distance, Ziva would be able to see El, the guard, and her target all walking up the exterior ramp towards the upstairs bedroom. After a couple moments, the guard would exit the room alone, going down the ramp and back to his post. After about 5 minutes or so, Ziva would see El caaarefully slide out of the bedroom's door and sneak down the ramp. Once El got to the base, she would once more vanish into the main structure. It was then Ziva was left to wait an unnervingly long amount of time before seeing the rear service door slowly creek open, and El poke her head out of it and start waving wildly, unable to pinpoint where her ally actually was. As Ziva was on the approach however, El's head would dart back inside, the door still open however. Once she was able to get closer, Ziva would be able to hear El speaking quickly, her body facing the door, with a guard between her and it, his back to Ziva. "Look, I said I was sorry. It's not my fault I don't know the layout of this place! Just... tell me where the kitchen is so I can get the wine for Mr. Autumrest. The more you waste my time, the more irritated your master will get!”Ziva would be ever watchful. Eyes scanning those guards...and even more so as El would be escorted. She laid in waiting...digits slowly tapping and waiting for that sign... "Come on girlie..." She would whisper behind her mask...an unsettling about of time...her hand? To grip her blade, clenching before? She would see those flailing arms. A small sigh of relief would wash over her for a moment before she would make her way towards that opening. She would be ever careful, as she would watch El dart back in and continue to speak to a guard.As the guard would be distracted? Ziva would slowly creep into that door...the taller Sin'dorei woman? Would quickly attempt to move and move behind him- and to wrap one arm around her neck while the other around his mouth. Attempting to muffle him and also choke him out!

The guard would be caught completely by surprise, unable to make a sound as he was slowly choked out and eventually lost consciousness, falling limp within Ziva's arms. "Nice." El whispered, looking around to see if anyone else noticed. "Toss him outside, against the building so it looked like he fell asleep on the job. Should keep eyes off of us for a bit longer." El advised in hushed tones, darting towards a nearby collection of wine bottles and grabbing one."Bossy..." Ziva would mutter for a moment. Perhaps half teasing. Perhaps not. She would indeed move the guard to the outside. Propping him 'asleep' against the wall. She would then? Take his weaponary? And -yeet- it out towards the forest. Didn't want him waking up and coming armed after all. She would then move herself towards El. Following and watching closely. "What are you doing now?" She would ask in a hushed tone.El twirled the bottle of wine within her hands for a moment as she waited for Ziva to return, keeping an eye out for the other occupants. "I told one of the guards I was tasked to get wine by the bastard. Best to look the part, just in case." She hummed, then pointed towards the doorway towards the upstairs. "There's a girl cleaning the house at the base of the ramp. If she spots you, she'll freak out. There's also one more guard at the top of the first ramp." El informed, motioning for Ziva to follow. "I have an idea on how to get past the girl, but I wanna hear if you have a better plan first."

Ziva would hum gently. Thinking for a moment. "Think you could convince her that the 'Master' requested for you to get the wine, and bring her back up as well?"
El nodded then responded in hushed tones. "Could do. You can follow behind us and take out that other guard on the way up to the main room."“Ready?” El ensured.Ziva nodded. "Aye. Just try to get his focus on you two so I can come from behind."El returned the nod. “Sure thing.”With that, El nodded and turned the corner. Ziva would easily be able to hear El's voice. "E-Excuse me? Hi, um, Mr. Autumrest requested I retrieve some wine and one of his assistants. I assume that would be you, right?" El's words were quickly followed by those of a second woman, who spoke gently. "Oh, but of course. He must be ready for this evening's festivities then., We shouldn't keep the master waiting." the girl would hum, followed by the sounds of both her and El's feet sliding up the ramp.As Ziva would hear the voices seem to fade away? She would move to a silent creep once more. Slowly making her way up the ramp behind the two, but just slightly out of sight.

As the pair approached the guard El had mentioned before, he would offer a slight chuckle, turning to face them as El and the girl sauntered by. "See you found your wine. And evening Sirenna. Are the festivities about to begin?" He inquired, prompting El and the girl to pause and look back at him. "Oh, yes, I believe so. I was instructed to accompany- I'm sorry, I don't believe I got your name." Sirenna said, looking to El apologetically. "El Moonburst, at your service." El hummed in response, bowing slightly. "Sorry, but you've got me curious now, what are 'the festivities' you're talking about?" El inquired, giving Ziva the opening she needed to sneak in whilst El gripped the neck of the bottle firmly.Ziva would move to peek around the corner. Good. He was distracted. Turned away.... but...Ziva noticed one problem...the cleaning maid. She? Would spot Ziva if she was to move forward upon the guard. A small grit to her teeth...slowly? She would reach her hand out into the view of El for a moment...trying to hand signal to send the other girl up ahead.Sirenna and the guard exchanged looked for a moment. Sirenna spoke up first. "Well-, you see-, the master has high standards for his guests. He often has us attendants help make every night special." She hummed, offering a nervous smile to El, who did catch Ziva's hand motions, but shook her head. "Really? And here I thought my visit was special. He told me when we first met he rarely has guests. Says most people in Silvermoon can't handle their wine as it goes straight to their head." El said, a bit loudly, hoping to tip Ziva off at her intention. The guard however, canted his head at El's words, then nervously chuckled. "Likely why his standards are so high then. Don't worry miss, both the master and everyone here will take great care of you this evening." The guard assured El, who was currently waiting to see if Ziva had understood her message.Ziva...was not catching on. She is a very forward acting person. Her plans normally involve going in and hitting really hard...but she knew she couldn't risk such with others. Unable to catch El's signs? She would lay and wait, to see if the other
woman would turn at some point.El put on a fake smile as Ziva did not appear, understanding her intentions may not have been super clear. "I would hope so. Perhaps you should come with us then, sir? I... don't actually remember if Mr. Autumrest asked me for a guard as well or not." El thought aloud, bringing her finger up to her chin. To that, the guard would look confused. "Not sure why he would need me right now. I uh-... usually am not needed until the second half of the festivities." At that, El let out a shrug. "Nevermind then. Come-, Sirenna was it? We shouldn't keep Mr. Autumrest waiting." With that, El motioned for the girl to follow her, making her turn away from the guard. "Yes, the master does get ever so impatient." Sirenna said nervously, leading El away towards the outer ramp.

El was careful to walk behind Sirenna, neck of the bottle firmly in hand...As the pair would begin to move up the ramp, Ziva would quickly move to attempt to choke out this guard the same way she had done before. A hand would attempt to move to muffle him while the other strong arm would move to try to choke him out!The guard would begin to turn around as Ziva got closer, catching her movement out of the corner of his eye. As he saw her arms reaching for his neck, he pushed Ziva back, confused as to how she was there. "What the-?!" He exclaimed, reaching for
his weapon. That would be Ziva's chance to do something. Meanwhile, El would have heard the guard's words and instantly sprang into action, pulling the bottle up and smashing the still filled glass over Sirenna's head before she had any time to react. As the girl fell limp onto the ramp, El turned on a dime, ready to help Ziva should she not be able to handle the guard quickly.Ziva wouldn't have the time to draw her blade. And she wasn't exactly -trying- to kill anyone if she didn't have to. She would remain silent. Not replying to the man's words, but she would attempt to push back forward and try to punch him in the jaw.The guard would have expected Ziva to throw a punch, pulling back his head just in time to avoid taking the hit. Unfortunately for him, he slid his head right back into El's hand, which gripped his skull then sent a quick jolt of crimson-colored [Crackling Jade Lightning] right through his brain. He dropped like a sack of potatoes on the floor, not dead, but likely having a headache once he awoke. "That was close... Sorry, I couldn't send her up without me. You'll see why." El sighed apologetically.Ziva would nod her head. "I am under the assumption she is one of his...purchase and selling 'goods'...so...we should make sure to grab her on the way out I think...so we can tend to her." A small sigh before a nod of her head. "Indeed. Let us continue forward then." She would look around, hoping they weren't heard.El shook her head as she turned towards the upper level. "I don't think so. I've got a bad feeling about her. She seemed to... desensitized to the fact I was going to be a 'festivity'. I do want to bring her along though." El responded, headed up the ramp
now. "We'll get her on the way out. Doubt she'll be waking up from that within the next 5 minutes."As the pair approached the door to the top floor, El slid it open, peaked in, then motioned for Ziva to enter as well. "Good. He's still out." El hummed, motioning towards the bed where a Ziva's target laid buck ass naked on his back, tongue flopped out to the side with a bead of drool running down his cheek as he snored.

El darted towards a nearby bookshelf, leaning on it as she spoke to Ziva. “There's a chance he's got some documentation here. If you think we have time, we can look around real quick, or we can just get the fuck out now.”"Perfect” Ziva responded. ”Wonderful work then. This will be an easy pay day then -and-...one less filth upon these lands. We are meant to be recovering...healing...not selling our own like property." She would look at El and nod. "If you would like to look while I bind and gag him."
El offered a firm nod at Ziva's words, then went to look through all the places she thought the sicko might have hid something.Ziva would move to extend her hand. There would be a small pulse of Arcane if El would had picked it up. Slowly, what seemed to be threads of Arcane would extend from Ziva's hand. Almost like a spiders silk, but strong and magical. Slowly she would
attempt to start wrapping up the man and binding him.El looked throughout most of the bookshelves whilst Ziva bound her target, finding nothing of note. That was until she found a book laid open on the bedside table caught her eye. "Hmm... he had been writing in this when I got here." El hummed, holding up the open page to Ziva. On it was inscribed: "A sheep might lead a flock to the wolf. Should it come to pass, the den will feast forever."Ziva would finish wrapping up the man before? She would move to grab him and throw him over her shoulder. She seemed to do such with minor care. At the presenting of the book? A small tilt of her head. "Lovely. He's an awful poet." She would let out a tch. "I think he was speaking of you. You being the sheep. Your brothel the flock...which means he was one hundred percent aware of the other women."El nodded, closing the book and placing it within her belt loop. "I thought so too. There's probably a lot of coded messages in this thing." El reasoned, moving carefully towards the door, peaking out of it. "All seems quiet. You ready to get out of here?"Ziva nodded "Aye. Before he wakes up or the guards get to questioning why two of their fellows are asleep."
El returned the nod, creaking the door open slowly, then stepped outside, waving Ziva to follow. "I'll grab the girl. Do you have a camp nearby?""Nearby.” Ziva confirmed. ”We will have to cross water." Those words prompted a sigh from El. “Fun…” She knelt down and pulled Sirenna over her shoulder, the poor girl's head drizzling a bit of blood, but she still drew breath. "Okay. Let's get gone."Ziva nodded as she began to lead the way. The pair walked in silence until they approached the river. "Hope you can swim while carrying that girl. If not I can make two trips." El shook her head as she drug the woman along. “I... should be fine.”Ziva would offer a hand to help if she could.

El was able to drag Sirenna through the water, not as cleanly as Ziva, but managed. She gladly took Ziva's hand to get her back on her feet though. "Smart idea using the water to cover your tracks."Ziva would give a small shrug. "You learn after a bit of doing this work. Especially if camping so nearby. But. They might not expect such a nearby camp at the same time. I've set camp in a small cave over here."El nodded, following along. “Uuuu! I love caves! Hehehe! For real though, I'll be honest, I can't believe we pulled that off! That was almost as clean as it gets.”Ziva snorted, amused. "No injuries to us. And this asshole is caught."“Wins all around it would seem.” El chirped with a sly smirk as the pair arrived at the mouth of the cave.

Chapter 3

Ziva would move to throw the man off her shoulder. She would look over his binding for a moment before nodding. "When he wakes up, he shouldn't be able to move. Or speak."El nodded, sliding the girl off her shoulder next to the bound man. "Good. I wanna talk to her first anyway." El hummed, reaching a hand up to Sirenna's bloodied head. In a puff of Jade-Green mist, the wound would close. El then pointed the woman's body directly towards Ziva's target so he would be the first thing she saw when she awoke. “She should come to in a moment.”Ziva would nod her head. "Good then." Ziva would give a small stretch. "Good work out there though girlie. You held up and kept your word on your plan." A cross of her arms as she would look at her fire. A small move to begin tending to it, adding more wood to the flames.El blinked, then chuckled. "You do realize we just completed a stealth-capture mission without even knowing each other's names, right?" El mused, offering a hand to Ziva after she was done adding wood to her fire. "El Moonburst, at your service."Ziva would tilt her head to El as she introduced herself. "Sometimes, it is best to not get too attached or on a name to name basis if a mission is at a high risk." She would look at that hand for a moment...before she would move to remove a gauntlet. Her hand would then reach to meet El's own. Her nails painted an almost solid black. "Ziva Dawnblade."
El nodded, shrugging at Ziva's words. "Well, glad that everything went smooth enough for us to move past that point." El cooed, just in time to hear motion coming from their captives. Sirenna was waking up, her eyes fluttering open to see Alaric Autumrest bound and naked in front of her. "F-Father?"El winced. “Eeeeee... not the words I wanted to hear…”Ziva quirked an eyebrow. "Ah. That's. A twist...I am surprised she followed for the festivities then. Assuming they would have included-...ah. Nevermind that."Sirenna's gaze darted towards Ziva and El, her face filling with immense dread. "W-Wait no-! It's not what it looks like! I-I have nothing to do with any festivities! I just keep the house clean is all!"El and Ziva exchanged looks for a moment before El spoke up. “You wanna take this one, or want me to?”Ziva shook her head, waving her hand dismissively. "She's all yours. My pay is that one." She would point towards the girl's father. She would move to shift and lean against the centerpiece of the cave. Watching behind her mask.El knelt down in front of the girl, looking her in the eyes. "C'mon now. Don't bullshit us. You were all to eager to come with me when asked. So, be truthful, and you might get let off easy." El hummed, placing a hand on Sirenna's shoulder. Good cop it was. “What are the "festivites"

Sirenna looked from El, to Ziva, to her father. Her gaze hovered on him for a long while, tears creeping into her eyes as she began to speak. "Once h-he... drugged his woman of t-the night, it was my job t-t-to tie them up and bring them to the basement. T-t-they'd be kept there unt-til they could be picked up..." Sirenna trailed off, her voice quivering. "I-If I d-didn't, he s-said he'd kill them a-a-and blame me for it! Please! I didn't want to do any of it!"Ziva would hum gently as she watched. A coin to be pulled from a pouch as she would play with it between her fingers. Her attention? Focusing on the man.El listened carefully to the woman, keeping her face calm, almost warm. "I understand. You were in a bad place there. But there's a lot of people in worse places now because of him." El sighed, pointing to the woman's father. "Do you know where they took the women after they were picked up?"Ziva 's attention would shift to the conversation at hand now. The possible other victims...perhaps they can be saved too.Sirenna shook her head, tears beginning to stream down her cheeks now. "N-No... They always came under the c-cover of night. And never cons-s-s-sistently. One day, I'd go down there to f-f-feed someone, only for them to be gone the next m-morning..."El pursed her lips, disappointed by the response. She had one more idea though. Gently, El pulled the book she had retrieved from her belt and held it up to Sirenna. "What about this book? Do you know what it is?"Sirenna wiped her eyes of her tears so she could see the book better, then fervently nodded. "Y-Yes. That's his log book."Ziva would move to casually look at her nails. Or so it would seem. But at every shaken word given by the daughter. Her ears would flicker. A small grit of her teeth behind her mask.El 's heart leapt at that, turning to offer the book to Ziva. "We looked at it before taking it. It seemed to be using poems as a code. Do you think you'd be able to decode them? If you are, I can imagine the Farstriders being faaar more lenient in your sentence. Especially if it leads to saving people."Sirenna froze for a moment, as much as one quivering in fear could anyway. Her gaze fixated onto her father, seeming to see if he was able to hear her or not. When she realized he wasn't waking up any time soon, she simply nodded.Ziva would move to take the offered book with one hand, as the other would move to lower her mask...just enough to where Sirenna would see her eyes. A very, obvious glare would be given.El , satisfied for the moment, would stand up, offering Sirenna a nod. "Good. So long as you cooperate with us and the guard from here on out, you'll have nothing to worry about. Try to run, and your face will be plastered all over Silvermoon and Orgrimmar, and I'll personally make sure it ends up in Stormwind as well. There won't be a cave on Azeroth you could hide in. Understood?"Sirenna simply nodded again, curling up into a ball as she stared at her sleeping, and still very naked, father."Aren’t you a lovely little interrogator." Ziva would chuckle behind her mask before moving to place the log book into her pack. "I believe I may stay here for the night before turning them in."El chuckled as well, shaking her head. "It was easy because she was already broken. I wouldn't call myself a pro by any means." El hummed, offering a nod. "I can take first watch if you want to get some rest? I uh... don't exactly have plans anymore, since I was expecting to sleep in a bed, and I'm sure you're exhausted from scouting the place out before I came 'round."Ziva would tilt her head. A removal of her mask completely and her features fully exposed. "Are you sure? I will make it a light sleep but..."El waved her hand dismissively, offering a warm smile. "I'm sure. I slept in quite a bit since I was expecting to stay up late anyway, so I'm quite awake. We can swap in, say, 6 hours? Then in the morning, we can drop these two off-... wherever you're taking them." El pointed a thumb behind her. "Fuckface should be out until then anyway.”Ziva would give a nod of her head. "Very well. That does sound like a good plan then." She would move towards the opposite side of the cave. She? Wouldn't seem to move out of her plate, but rather? She would sit and lean against the wall before pulling her
hood a little further over her face as she tilted her head downward.El watched as Ziva would move to her resting place, sitting down next to Sirenna, who was quietly sobbing in her corner. Whist Ziva worked of falling asleep, she might catch El and Sirenna discussing the contents of the book, whist El kept her sight
trained on the cave's entrance.About 3 hours later, yelling could be heard in the far distance. It would seem the guards found their allies, albeit far too late.

Chapter 4

It would be at the very beginning of dawn when El finally woke Ziva from her sleep. The morning sun was beginning to creep into the cave as El booped Ziva on the top of her hood. Clearly, more than 6 hours had passed. "Hey there, sleepy head. I think it's about time we be on our way." El purred warmly. Upon awaking, Ziva would notice that Sirenna would have been moved to the other side of the cave, where she was dead asleep. Her father had not budged at all since he was placed down.
Ziva would almost jolt awake for a moment as El booped her- she was already in fight or flight mode-...a small blink of her eyes for a moment before she would let out a sigh. Calming herself. Her gaze? Shifting to the mouth of the cave. "I...over slept...didn't I..." She would say almost monotone. Another sigh before she would move to lift herself up off the ground.El chuckled and shook her head. "Nah. You just looked so cute and peaceful sleeping there, I didn't want to wake you." El giggled, pointing to the sun's fresh light seeping into the cave. "Time we got along. Where are we taking these two anyway?"Ziva 's eyebrow would twitch for a moment when she was called cute. Perhaps a hint of surprise at the moment. "Well. Thank you for letting me rest. And yes. We should get going so that -you- can rest next, and more comfortably than some cave." She would begin to move towards her target. Picking him up and throwing him over her shoulder. "We're heading to Fairbreeze."El moved to pick up Sirenna, lifting her over her shoulder. "I gave this one a micro-dose of that dust. Should be awake in about 2 hours." El explained, offering an appreciative nod. "Thanks. I haven't quite hit tired yet, but I can tell I will soon. Let's get to Fairbreeze then."The pair made their way out of the cave, hauling their prize towards the river once again. “You know the way from here, I take it?” El inquired, following Ziva closely. Ziva nodded. "Aye. We just need to get back into Eversong."It was a short walk towards the edge of the water, though long enough for an awkward silence to form. Both women seemed to notice it, and suddenly both spoke up at the same time.
“Soooo... Merc life, huh? How'd you get into that?” El inquired right as Ziva asked, "So a brothel eh? What made you wish to...start such?" The duo laughed at the silly coincidence. “I asked first!” El exclaimed playfully as they reached the water. Ziva snickered. "Fair fair. After we swim yeah?"After their short swim, El drug Sirenna through the mud.”Ack. As much as I love swimming, I don't think I could cut it as a lifeguard…”

Ziva chuckled as she threw her prize over her shoulder once again. "I am sure you could learn. Going back to your earlier question… I once was a part of the Farstriders....before I was removed for...my attitude." She would hum softly. "I still had the skills...so I figured...why not be my own employer. Especially once we allied with the Horde...many...gold making opportunities arose."El gasped as she remembered someone from her past, darting to catch up to Ziva who was already walking up the path. “Oh wow! I knew another person who was once a Farstrider. She left though when the Sin'dorei joined the Horde if I remember correctly. Suppose it's my turn now!” El breathed in, preparing to once more tell her life story. “I have a tavern in Boralus, inherited by my adoptive mother. One day, an escort from a recently failed brothel came in and we started talking. She was impressed by my business sense and asked if I wanted to join her in making a new brothel from scratch. I agreed. She left a while ago, vanished entirely, so the place fell to me to take care of and foster. We are technically on hiatus at the moment because the place needed some renovations, but we do still offer escorts that come to you. Hence... part of my trip last night.”Ziva listened closely, her curiosity getting the better of her. "I see. I am surprised you...explored the fresh opportunity yourself rather than one of those you employ."El shrugged. “I prefer a hands on approach. Plus, if anyone is gonna stick their neck out for something like that, I'd rather it be me.”"Hands on is...a...quite literal term." Ziva would try to hold back a snicker before nodding.The pair walked for a few hours, exchanging stories until they reached a Sin’dorei town. “This the place?” El inquired, tilting her head at the buildings.

"Aye. Just right inside. We will drop them off. Get my coin. And then go from there." She would stretch, her back beginning to ache after the long walk with a naked man on her back. "For your help I'll rent out the upper room so you can get some rest as well."El offered a smile, but shook her head. "Oh, thank you, but you don't have to. I was more than happy to help nab this bastard. No repayment necessary."Ziva waved her hand dismissively. "Less repayment, and more so a kind gesture. I am sure you'd like a soft bed to rest after the night."El let out a little sigh, her back aching just as much as Ziva’s. “You're not wrong… But, you've got to be stiff as a board too! You should rest up as well.”

Once the pair got inside the main building, Ziva would move to throw the naked man onto the ground. She would reach into a pouch and get a handkerchief and throw it over his crotch to cover him up. She would look towards the two totally guards. "I have finished my hunt." She would say, gesturing to the man and pulling out her bounty note. She would hand it over, and the guards would look over it before nodding. "Good work getting him. Your coin." The guard would move to a craft before fetching a satchel of coins and tossing it towards Ziva, who would catch it before putting it in her pouch. "Aye." She would then turn to El. "You can decide what you want to do with the girl. But...some rest could be nice, yes." A rub to the back of her own neck. Sleeping against a cave wall wasn't -too- comfortable.El nodded, moving to gently place the sleeping girl on the floor, then placed the book within her lap. "This is his daughter. She aided in his schemes, albeit against her will. She's agreed to decipher this log book and to assist in tracking down victims in exchange for a lighter sentence. Whether she gets that is up to you lot, but, from one trauma victim to another, I believe she genuinely wants to help." El explained to the guard, then turned to face Ziva with a wide smile. "In that case, let's rest there together. Light... I hope they have a bath." El moaned as she pressed her hands onto her back and pressed forward, crackling her spine a bit. "Ahhh... that's better already!"Ziva would give a nod of her head. "Rest it is then." She would pause for a moment. "Light, a hot bath would be nice after swimming in those rivers." She would then gesture. "Come." She would then move to count out some gold pieces before handing it to the woman outside for the cost of the room, before? Heading upstairs.El was unable to hold her tongue. "Perhaps a bath together then? Assuming the tub is large enough?"Ziva would give a small raise of her brow. "You wish...to bathe with me?" She would begin to look the woman up and down for a moment. "And what spurs such a thought?" She would move further forward before opening the door to the room, allowing El inside first before herself before promptly shutting the door.

El snickered as she slid inside the room, taking a moment to take inventory of the location. "A few things. First, we swam together, twice, so it's the obvious logical next step." El cooed, very clearly joking. "I dunno. You seem cool is all. And it... may be that I was expecting something last night and I didn't get it. Don't get me wrong, FAR prefer this outcome over what would have likely happened if I DID get some, but still. Horny elf gonna horny."El snickered as she slid inside the room, taking a moment to take inventory of the location. "A few things. First, we swam together, twice, so it's the obvious logical next step." El cooed, very clearly joking. "I dunno. You seem cool is all. And it... may be that I was expecting something last night and I didn't get it. Don't get me wrong, FAR prefer this outcome over what would have likely happened if I DID get some, but still. Horny elf gonna horny."Ziva would give a few blinks as she took in the words. "Horny elf gonna-" She would blink again...taking in the other woman's form for a minute. "Suppose you can take the woman out of hte brothel but not the brothel out of the woman eh?" She would move a hand and place it ontop of El's head for a moment. "Suppose at the least I can armor down. The bath is in the middle of the room."El chuckled playfully at Ziva's little mantra, though she froze when Ziva touched her, looking at the hand placed atop her head with a look that seemed completely dumbstruck. At Ziva's words though, El broke once more into a wide smile and did a little fist pump. "I'll take it! Alright, lemme get that bath going." El hummed, grabbing the hand off of her head, squeezing it for a second, then darted off towards the tub. "Oh! Looks like they have different scented bubble baths! Let's see... Roses... Strawberries... Mixed Berries... Oh! They have Booty Bay Blast? I have no idea what the smell is, but I love it!"Ziva would give a small hum as El would wander off. She would find a comfortable spot of the room before she would begin to remove her plated armors. Piece by piece that would come off until only the clothing that laid underneath would remain. A simple tunic and a pair of shorts. Though, with more of her form exposed, El could make out more details upon the woman. She obviously wore some sort of dark eyeliner. Snakebite piecings upon her bottom lip. Upon both of her arms there seemed to be obvious tattoos. They -looked- Illidari in nature, but rather than some sort of fel containment, the ones on her right arm were an arcanic purple hue, where the ones on her left were solid black. Her nails upon her hands and feet were both painted
black. Her hair seemed to be a messy sorts. Black with an ombre fade to red at the ends of the hair. Upon her tattoos on her right shoulder, an obvious Horde symbol would be made out as well. "Bath to your liking?" Ziva hummed, amused.

El had begun drawing the bath as Ziva slipped out of her armor. It was piping hot, steam billowing from the tub as an abundance of bubbles lined the surface. By the time Ziva had come over, El had stripped herself of her clothing entirely, except for her flower crown. Now that she was bare, Ziva would be able to see just how much abuse El's body had been through. Lashing scars peppered her freckled flesh, with her back having the largest amount of them. Even so, the lashing on her back were overshadowed by the two massive Amani insignias burned into El's upper back, one for each side. On her right shoulder, just above the brand, was a crescent moon shaped birth mark. As El turned to face Ziva with a smile, Ziva would find El too had a tattoo, a throwing knife with the letters DARI penned above it. She'd also see El's perfectly trimmed landing strip and sapphire, heart-shaped clit piercing. "It's nice and hot! Was about to dive in. Sure you don't wanna slide in too? Plenty of room for both of us to relax."

Ziva would begin taking in ever part of El's form. She seemed- open about it at least. Unafraid if Ziva's eyes laid upon her. Upon that form she would see all of that scarring. A small wince to her face for a moment to think about what may had led to such a thing. Eyes to trail to those breasts down to that trimmed landing strip and snatch. "You are-...quite open with your form aren't you. I suppose it makes sense, but you still have only just met me but..." She would let out a small sigh before shrugging. "If you would like me to join then I will join."El shrugged at Ziva's words, moving to slide into the tub now that it was starting to get full. "I spent most of my life without clothing. And whenever I wear too much, thanks to these-..." El pointed to her scars. "...I itch like crazy. So, most of the time I tend to wear super revealing clothing, if anything at all. I dunno. Just never phased me like it does most people I suppose." El explained as she sunk down into the tub, letting out a sigh of pure relief as she did so. "Fuuuuck... I needed this." El hummed, perking her head up as Ziva decided she'd be coming in, prompting an excited clap from the little elf! "Yay! Hop on in! If you'd rather I look away until you're in and the bubbles cover you, I can do that."Ziva would give a small nod of her head as El explained her lack of clothing and life and why she didn't seem to be shy about it. The scars? Were something to probably ask about another time. Not today at a time of relaxing. "It does seem nice." She would say, gesturing towards the water. A small sigh to escape her before? She would just move to remove her top then and there. Her breasts? Were a little bigger than average for Sin'dorei. Pierced studs upon both nips. Her tattoos, even more visible now. She would then shimmy out of her shorts..leaving-...nothing. It seemed she didn't wear any sort of panties. El wouldn't see a landing stripe like herself, but rather, a Sunfury tattoo right above Ziva's crotch. A hand on her hip for a moment as she looked at El. "Better?" She would say almost monotone before she too, would move to soak into the waters of the bath. An almost relieved sigh to escape her as she would almost melt into those waters. "Fuckkk indeed."

El didn't look away as Ziva revealed her top, not having been told to do so. When she noticed the piercing, she wiggled her eyebrows. "Uuuuuu! Love your piercings. You're far braver than I am! I couldn't bare to do that to my sensitive nips." El giggled, quirking her eyes at the lack of panties. "Part of the anti-undies fan club too? The more time I spend with you, the more I like you, Ziva." El snickered, offering a dumb smile and nod at Ziva's sarcastically monotone question. As she watched Ziva slide into the bath, El made sure to scooch over enough so Ziva had ample room to feel comfortable. She was right in the fact they had just met and all. "Hehehe! Told you it was good." El cooed, letting out another sigh of relief as she let her eyes flutter closed. "You know, I only just saw Silvermoon proper for the first time last week? It's soooo beautiful. I'm super excited to see what the reconstructed area will be like once they finish working on it and let the general population in."Ziva would hum gently as she allowed the water to soak into her tired bones and muscles. "Mmm? They weren't that bad...I mean. If anything it makes them more sensitive at times, and the healing process can be sped up with magic of course." She would pause at the next question. "If I am working, then yes. If I am just out and about, then I wear some that have a bit of more style to them." She would outstretch her arms to the sides of the bath. Her breasts, gently floating at the top of the water before being somewhat obscured. "Is that so? Been gone for a bit then? If you think it's beautiful now, I can only imagine you'll be all struck when it's done."
El nodded, opening her eyes to look at Ziva as she spoke. "Yeah. My father wasn't exactly the best guy. Gave me to the Amani near his land so they wouldn't attack his stuff anymore. Was stuck there for about 70 years. When I was rescued, it was at the hieght of the 4th war, and since my eyes were still blue, I guess they took me as an Alliance spy, so they chucked me on a ship, where I was once again saved, this time by an Alliance ship. They took me in, brought me to Stormwind, and I've been hanging out with them ever since." El explained, surprisingly nonchalant about how fucked up the story really was.Ziva would give a series of a few blinks. The Amani... Her eyes would scan of El once more and the scars she carried. "I...see. Well." She would move to rub the back of her head, her hand going through her dark messy hair. "Welcome home, El." She would say softly, the nearest thing to compassion shown in her voice thus far. She would move to lay her head back before sigh. "Light. Too bad this isn't one of the inns that have sometime to give a massage. The things i'd do fair nails and gentle upon my scalp as we laid back."El offered a warm smile at Ziva's welcome, nodding gently. "Thank you, Ziva. You're... actually the first person to wish me that." She hummed, quirking her head at Ziva's complaint. "Well, I might not be an expert, but I do know a couple massage techniques, given my occupation. I could at least get your scalp scratched and rub behind your shoulders for you if you'd like?" El offered no sly smirk or coy look this time. She did genuinely want to help."You are kin afterall." Ziva would hum. "I may be a mercenary. I may work on my own each and every day. But. Quel'thalas. My people. They will always come first." She would then look at El, pausing for a moment. "Are you sure? Light, my shoulders are probably stiffer than Garrosh on Theramore day."El let out a loud laugh this time, moving to slide out of the tub. "All the more reason for me to- AAAH-!" El exclaimed, slipping as she got out of the tub and busted her rear. Rather than cry out in pain, El laughed even harder, slowly coming to a stand, far more carefully this time. "As I was saying, all the more reason for me to help loosen them up. Here, you just relax." El hummed. If not stopped, she would reach her fingers up, starting first with Ziva's scalp. The tips of her feelers would gently glide in between thousands of hair fibers, settling on a soft scratching motion as both of El's hands cupped the entirety of Ziva's head from the sides, with her fingers focused on the very center of the Sin'dorei's skull.Ziva 's ears would give a small flicker as she would hear El fall right on her Ass. Hopefully it was well cushioned-... "Are you alri-" She started to ask before she would hear El laughing. A small shake of her head before she would chuckle softly to herself...but it wouldn't be long before? Those things would begin to glide through her hair. A shiver? To run down her form as she would allow the other woman to work her fingers into her scalp. "Light-...and don't worry about being gentle. Really get in there if you need to."El canted her head at Ziva's words. "Okay... Just, let me know if I get too rough. I don't wanna hurt you." El said as she increased her fingers' pressure into Ziva's scalp, as requested. If no resistance was offered, El would continue at that pace for a few minutes, keeping a close eye on Ziva's reactions just in case she went too hard. "Let me know when you want me to move to your shoulders, okay?"Ziva would give a nod of her head. "Shouldn't have to- worry about it." She would stutter briefly as those fingers would continue to glide. A soft murmur of a mix of a hum and a relaxed moan would escape her as that pressure would continue. Those few moments would pass and she would nod her head. "I leave myself in your care." She would say with a gesture of her hand, though she pressed her head into that scratch more. Ah. Blackcat.El smiled lightly as Ziva seemed to be enjoying herself. She'd give plenty of care to that scalp for a few minutes longer, until El felt Ziva's reactions to her movements slow. Once that threshold was passed, El would pull her hands away and place them gently onto Ziva's shoulders. El's thumbs would quickly move to press into Ziva's pressure points, aiming to relieve them first, then to work on the muscles. "Light sake-, you weren't kidding about being stiff. When was the last time you took time for yourself, Ziva?"Ziva would murmur softly as El would press into her shoulders. "Mmmm. Hard to say...I'm always working or looking for work. I don't have a home per say. Just always on the road. Stay in inns like this from time to time. It's...nice in it's own way. An open life....but also...not many times to...'take time' to myself."El frowned at Ziva's words, though kept up her massaging, now incorporating her palms into the pressure relief attempt. "I see... If you were to be offered a job where you could stay in one place, at least for a short time every few weeks or so, would you take it then? Or... is that too stationary for you?" El inquired, her tone a strange mix of somberness and curiosity.Ziva hummed as she thought for a moment. "Mmmm. It may be too stationary. If you're asking for yourself or the Brothel..." She would pause, leaning into the massage a bit more. "I could offer my services for sure depending on what the job may be, but I just might not always be available for such, as other jobs may be about."El nodded, even though Ziva couldn't see her. She'd pull her hands away from the Sin'dorei's shoulders now, leaning forward with her elbow to press it into the center of Ziva's back. "Well, I do need people to check ages before we allow clients in, but we also need someone there in the event a client becomes... irritable. At the moment, I have 1 security guard on file, and I am unsure if they will return once the place re-opens." El explained, doing her best to speak while offering a decent massage job. "I understand you wanting to keep moving. And there's obviously better ways to help our people than to play bouncer for a brothel, but if you ever wanted an easy job for a night, with a room included, the offer is there."Ziva would murmur a little more. "Throw in a promised massage like this too and you may have a deal, El." She would chuckle softly before leaning her head back as El massages. More than likely into El's form, but she was too relaxed and pleasured to notice.El chuckled as well at the response, pulling back her arm to return to her shoulder rubs just as Ziva leaned her head back, riiiight in between El's hanging titties. The Quel'dorei didn't dare move though, quite content in letting her new friend enjoy the moment. "I think that could be arranged. Might not be the exact same night, but, hey, stress relief is our specialty." El cooed, finally pulling her hands away from Ziva's body. "Feel better? I still gotta wash."Ziva would let out a small chuckle. She perhaps didn't realize she leaned right between those breasts. Maybe she did. Either way no complaint came from the woman. "That is a fair point." As those hands would be withdrawn? Ziva would give a small nod. "Aye. Thank you- don't let me keep you from cleaning."El nodded as she pulled back from Ziva, then veeeeeeeeery carefully slipped back into the tub, this time coming to rest next to Ziva rather than across from her. "You're welcome, love! Anytime." With that, El leaned her head back into the water, pulling her hair below it's bubbly surface, scrubbing it heavily, flower crown and all. When she came back up, her hair was completely covered in the bubbles! “ Ahhhh... that's better already.”"Cute." Ziva would seem to say casually as she would watch El move to dunk and scrub upon herself. She woud move to grab a small cloth that resided on the side of the rub before moving to scrub upon her own arms and form for a bit. "Since you provided a -lovely- massage. If you need any help, let me know, aye?"El nodded to Ziva as she reached over to grab a bar of soap, rubbing it on the back of her neck first. "Could you uh... get my back please? Don't worry, I can't exactly feel much back there, so don't be afraid of hurting me."

Ziva nodded as she scooted over. Before she could respond, El spoke up again. “ So... you said you got booted out of the Farstriders... Do you miss it, or are you glad to be going solo now?”“Of course." Ziva would say softly. Though she? Would shift. Her legs to move to the outer side of El's own as she would begin to gently scrub upon the other's back. Her eyes looking upon those scars and brandings as she washed. "Mmmm. A mixture. I love fighting for my people directly. You know? But....too many rules...regulations...standards. I couldn't be...me."El chuckled and nodded as Ziva spoke, noting where Ziva's legs moved to, but not mentioning it, for now at least. "I completely understand. I'm not exactly one for stiff standards either. If you stick around, you'll see I'm far more 'do as we go' oriented in most things, including my business sometimes. We let our girls set their own prices, accept or decline whoever they want, and we don't even take a cut from their earnings. We get all our day to day cash from the bar and the bit of food we sell." El hummed, letting out a soft sigh if Ziva got to scrubbing below El's slave brandings. It would seem those were the main spots she couldn't feel much."Mmm that is very fair to your workers then." Ziva would agree. Her scrubbing only continuing further, making sure that El's back would be completely cleaned if needed. A hand? Would move to trace over those brandings for a moment. A small sigh to escape her as she once more thought about what the woman may had gone through. "There." She would say softly, as the cleaning of the back had finished!El would wiggle a bit as Ziva got the rest of her back, feeling far better now that all of it could be reached. "Thanks. That's far better than I could have gotten." El hummed, reaching for a small towel as well to begin scrubbing the rest of her body. "I do my best. I've heard horror stories of girl working at brothels that treated them like slabs of meat to be thrown around for profit. That's the last thing I want for my girls. They're putting in hard work, creating experiences for people that are works of art. The best way to maintain that is to ensure they aren't just cared for, but also have a sense of safety. Is it as profitable? No, not by a long shot, but I'm no in it for the money. All of us are there for the love of the craft, so why not let the money go to those who do the hardest work?""You are truly kind of heart, aren't you." Ziva would hum softly. "I admire that...for the most part...I don't care half of two shits about anyone else unless they're putting coin in my pocket...most of the time." She would let out a small sigh. "But you. You are looking out for those who you care for. So they can thrive."El shrugged slightly, turning her head to the side a bit to try and look back at Ziva. “You're doing that too, in your own type of way. Fighting for our people so they can have a better future, I mean. You say you don't care, for the most part, but if you didn't care, then why help anyone at all? Fel- you probably make more of a feasible difference in a week than I do in a year.”"I could totally give a selfish answer about how our people pay more than other races." Ziva would chuckle. "But then I would be lying. I suppose it's more so...I care for our people as a whole. But when it comes to person to person...since I am always moving. Always traveling....and often the others I meet are in the same profession and are at risk of dying too...suppose I just keep to myself more, if that makes sense."El nodded. "That's fair. Seems like a rather lonely life though, if I am being honest..." El trailed off for a moment, before turning around within Ziva's legs to offer a smile. "Not saying you need to settle down or anything, but remember to make some friends that are grounded somewhere. Never know when they might be helpful for your job, but that friendship with someone outside of your profession would probably go a long way to give you some sense of stability, at least when you feel you might need it."Ziva would give a small blink as El shifted and began to face her. She would look into those blue eyes for a moment. Locking into them. "I suppose. I do get to meet -alot- of people. Including..." She would move a finger to boop El in the forehead gently. "Beautiful women." She would sigh though, following it. "At times it feels like some are afraid to form the bond with me, since I am the one moving around all the time."El blushed as she felt the boop to her head, moving to return the boop, instead to Ziva's nose. "It's not something everyone can handle. Some people just need more stability than others. But, that just means, whenever it does work, it's special, because it takes more effort." El hummed, reaching up to gently cup Ziva's cheeks within both her hands. "And just because someone may seem afraid, doesn't mean they aren't willing. They're just treading into waters they don't know yet. If you really want that connection with someone, don't-... be pushy about it, but just put in the effort, and eventually, they'll see they can too."Ziva would give an ever soft nod of her head into those hands. A faintest blush would begin to form on her features. Perhaps it was from the hotness of the bath? Or perhaps that soft and gentle touch from El. Who knew. "That...is fair. And I will take such into consideration El. Thank you." A tilt of her head with another soft smile, Her eyes to crinkle.El 's face broke into the largest smile Ziva would have seen on the little elf yet as she pulled her hands away, using them to prop herself up as she leaned back in the tub which caused her tits to flop to either side of her chest. "You're welcome, Ziva. You deserve a good friend. I just hope I can be one." El hummed, staying put for a moment as she just simply stared into those golden glowing orbs for a while.Ziva would stare right back into El's own eyes. Smiling. "Only time will tell, yes, but, thankfully, we have such on our side as Sin'dorei." A pause. Oh. She couldn't help but look at-... "Damn yours tits are nice-" She blurted out before a hand would raise to cover her own mouth. "Sorry."El let out a massive giggle at Ziva's faulty self control, biting her lower lip playfully. "It's okaaaay. Nothing to apologize for." El cooed as she began to teasingly sway her torso side to side, causing said tits to dance gently across the surface of the water. "They're free, if you want them. All you have to do, is take hold."Ziva pauses...before- "Ah what the fel. I earned this." She would say before her hands? Would move to either side of El's hips- picking her up and moving her closer- to where El was now? Sitting in Ziva's lap. A curious hand? Would move up and begin to gently grope one of El's breasts while the other held upon her hip.El let out a little "eep!" as she was lifted up, but she offered no resistance what so ever. Rather, meeting the motion with a giggle. "That you have!" El retorted, wrapping her legs around Ziva's waist to lock herself in place within Ziva's lap. As she felt Ziva's curious hand grab her tit, El let out a soft whimper, her overly sensitive nipple instantly rock hard within Ziva's grasp. "There you go... indulge, love." El purred as her fingers steadily began to trace invisible lines along Ziva's arms, sometimes following her tattoos for a bit as well."You don't have to tell me twice-" Ziva would say softly. Perhaps the woman was awaiting the permission the whole time. That hand would continue to grope and gently squeeze upon that breast. Thumb? Would move to graze and tease that hardened nip. The hand that would be upon El's hip? Would shift as well. Moving underneath the woman and finding a cheek of her rear. Continued, soft squeezes to it as well. Before long? Ziva? Would lean forward. The heat of her breath gently pressing again El's neck before she would begin to place a series of kisses upon it.El 's breath would begin being constantly cut off by every brush of Ziva's thumb against her nipple, the teeth of the little Quel'dorei pinching her quivering bottom lip in response. Now that El's loins were closer to Ziva's stomach, the Sin'dorei might feel a subtle vibration throught the water, even moreso should El's sex come into contact with Ziva's stomach. That clit piercing had more utility than it seemed. As El felt her rear be groped as well, El let out a sensual giggle through her nose, moving one of her arms that wouldn't be blocked by Ziva's boob-groping arm down to return the favor to Ziva's booty, whist the other arm would gently caress the back of Ziva's head as the Sin'dorei began to pepper El's neck with those sweet sweet kisses. Kisses that sent El's senses into overdive. "Mmmph-! Yes-... Z-Ziva... T-take me, please. You've m-more earned it."Ziva 's ears would flicker a little to the sensation of vibration that she felt from El's sex. A curiosity for sure- but she was too enthralled in that moment. Those kisses would only continue upon the woman's neck- and when Ziva's own rear would be grabbed? She would let out a small murmur into that neck. Her ass? Was ever soft. Heart shaped and dough like. For such a strongly built woman? Her more delicate features seemed to still hold key. But at El's words? It would shoot a bout of motivation into the woman. Her hands? Would move to El's hips once more before picking her up and setting her onto the side of the bath. "Then I shall take my true treasure from the bounty tonight." She would coo softly as she would move to
separate and spear El's legs as she sat on the border of that tub. Gently? She would guide them upon her shoulders as she would lean further and further down to be face first into El's most delicate flower. Slowly, Ziva's tongue would unravel from her mouth- to slowly move and lick upon those lower lips. Perhaps a surprise? El would feel a small metallic sphere of a piercing upon Ziva's tongue. Her gaze? Would be focused upwards into El's own.El , once more, let out that cute "eep!" as she was lifted, followed by the cheerful giggle Ziva was likely becoming accustomed to already. At the Mercenary's words, El's face turned a DEEP red as she rose up both hands to playfully hide her face from view. only to slowly peak out from behind her fingers to see what Ziva did next. The Quel'dorei offered no resistance to Ziva's moving of her legs, though she did let out a little "ahh-!" as they were yoinked over Ziva's shoulders. Only then did El reach back to grab at the edge of the tub, using it to keep herself steady. El's whole being quivered in excitement as she saw Ziva's tongue begin to extend, and while the piercing was a surprise to be sure, it was a welcome one. Once Ziva had made
a few flicks of her tongue within El's soaked slit, El would raise her gaze from the action to meet Ziva's as well, reaching one hand forward to grip Ziva by the head, not harshly, for now, but just to stay stable. "Fuck..." El whimpered, right before Ziva's tongue piercing made contact with El's clit one. The moment they made contact, Ziva would feel the vibration suddenly increase through El's flesh, prompting El to gasp and suddenly jump at the surprising jolt of pleasure. "Ah-! F-Forgot about that!"Ziva would slowly withdraw herself from her treasure to speak for the moment. "How could I forget it when it makes you stutter and squirm so cutely." She would ask- but before El could return with an answer? Ziva would move back inward. Her hands would wrap around to grab both cheeks of El's rear as her face would push into the women's sex. That tongue? Would move with a more quickened pace now. With a bit more force. It would sink itself in between the woman's petals, licking and cleaning what nectar that El may had left for her- only for her to slowly move herself upward to that ever precious pearl. Her tongue and ring to now press against that clit and piercing once more...slow...gentle licks. Up and down, side to side and then the swirl. One of her hands on El's rear? Would move right back towards the front...two fingers? Would move right under Ziva's chin...slowly teasing and pressing against El's folds before? They would move to sink themself into the other woman. At the same time? That attention to her clit would shift from a gentle lick, to Ziva slowly sucking upon it.El wouldn't be able to create a comprehensive response to Ziva's words as her bottom lip was being held captive by her teeth. As the Merc quickened her pace, El's grip on her head would tighten, followed by the echoing moans of pleasure that trickled oh so sensually out of El's overworking nose. Ziva would find plenty of nectar to feast on, as El had been keeping her piercing buzzing all night long, and even now, with each press against El's clit, it's vibrations would ramp up more and more, then after about 5 taps, the vibrations would stop entirely, only to resume if the gem of the piercing happened to be grazed once again. El's eyelids began to hang lazily as her mind began to become overwhelmed, gaining only a moment of reprieve when Ziva removed her hands from El's rear. Confused as to why she had done so, El had but a moment to look down to see what Ziva was planning. The Quel'dorei's eyes went wide as she saw what was about to happen, but before she could react, those digits were already inside her, prompting El's teeth to finally free her lower lip! "Fuaaack-! Yesyesyesrightthere-! Fuck-Ziva right there-!" El cried out in between her sultry breaths, her hand having to remove itself from Ziva's head to grab the side of the tub, lest El crush the woman's skull. "Keep going-, keep going-! I'm almost-... GYAAAH-HAAA!" At those words, Ziva's fingers would feel El's nethers contract around them as El harshly leaned forward in her seat. A sudden spray of El's lady sugar
exploded from her loins, quickly coating the poor Sin'dorei in a hefty layer of El's love-liquid.Oh how Ziza was enjoying every moment. The cute noises that El was making - the begging- the pleading. It was all music to the mercenary's ears. Faster and fasters would she lick and suckle upon the woman's most sensitive spot while her fingers worked their magic between the woman's folds. 'Almost-' she heard...and she did not relent. Only to further the woman's pleasure before? That sweet, sweet nectar would be released from the smaller Quel'dorei. Quickly coating Ziva's tongue, face, and hair- but she didn't seem to have a single complaint- only to continue to lick and clean up the mess she had made upon the now more sensitive woman...but when she felt like her duty was finished. She would quickly move to stand into the water- hand to move underneath El's chin and lift her head upward as Ziva would press into a very messy, nectar covered, but passionate kiss to share her reward.El splurged into Ziva's face no less than 5 times, each torrent less powerful then the last, but no less pleasurable for the little El. Once the Quel'dorei had calmed down, she caught a glimpse of the mess she made of Ziva's face, and closed her eyes in embarrassment. "S-Sorry, Ziva. I should have warned-." was all El managed to say before she was brought into that beautifully passionate kiss, moving to stand up as well so she too could indulge in it. El's legs quaked a bit, prompting her to lean more into Ziva's form to prop herself up, wrapping her arms around the merc's back to embrace her tightly. El made sure to line up her nipples with those of Ziva's as close as possible before going in, and when she did press forward, so too did the pair's breasts squish together, leaving no space what so ever between the lovers of the evening. Whist El's lips lavished against Ziva's her tongue was far more daring, poking and prodding at the Sin'dorei's maw, aching to find an opening to gain entry to explore it's depths.

Ziva would move wrap her own hands around El. But she eould move them to her rear...to pick her up so that she could wrap her legs around the tallers and stronger Sin'dorei. As El poke and prodded with her tongue, Ziva would welcome such with her own. And slowly as that kiss would further deepen, Ziva would begin to carry El towards the bed. Eventually laying them both down upon it...her arms to wrap around El's own form in an embrace...she would break from that kiss...to only press another upon El's forehead. Soft, tender care, now being given to the woman.

El would follow Ziva's lead, wrapping her legs around the Sin'dorei so she could be carted off towards the bed, letting out a little "mmph!" though her nose as she was placed within it. El would not relent, her side of the kiss becoming ever more excitable until finally Ziva pulled away, prompting El's lips for follow for a moment more before she too pulled back with a loud smack. At the kiss to her forehead, El let out a shy giggle through her nose, then sighed, letting her eyes flutter closed as she began to gently run her fingers along Ziva's back. "Fuck-... that was incredible. I... feel like I should have pleased you first though... I'm starting to feel that lack of a night's sleep now..." El sighed in shame, letting her eyes flutter closed as she leaned her forehead forward to press it gently into Ziva's. "Will you... stay with me... if I promise to return the... favor after a nap? Please?"Ziva would press her forehead against El's own right back. "Dear. I'm not a monster. I wasn't planning on leaving you alone for the night after we- did such. I will hold you until you awaken once more, and I will be right here waiting for you." Soft, gently scratches to the woman's hair. "Now. Rest. -You- have earned it this time."El 's tired face broke once more into a gentle smile, though her eyes remained shut. "Thank you... Ziva. You're a good person." El cooed, taking in a deep breath through her nose. "You smell nice."Ziva would chuckle softly. "I probably smell like you, because, I know you tasted sweet." She would hum softly. Hands still stroking through that hair. "Now. Rest, little flower."El 's eyes darted open at the nickname, a look of surprise on her face at hearing it. "My... mother used to call me that. It's been... so long since I've heard it."Ziva would pause for a moment. A small blink. "I-...I am sorry if it is one you do not like. I just noticed you seem to never depart from that crown."El smiled wide and shook her head. "No no. I don't mind it in the slightest. I just... wasn't expecting it is all." El hummed, offering a nod. "It was the only thing to survive when my tavern was burned down by arsons. It's enchanted to never die, never take damage, and only come off if I will it to.""To never die and to never take damage. It sounds like it is enchanted with your will to pass on good things to others, El. A never dying hope." Ziva would hum gently once more. A hand to gently run down El's form. Not in a way that was sexual, but just rather, close.El shivered as she felt the hand run down her body, letting her melt once more into the bed. "I... do my best. I just love... to see people happy..." El mumbled, exhaustion seeming to be taking hold of her proper now. "If you... need to do something, while I sleep... don't let me stop you. Just... make sure you come back... okay?""The most I would move would be to get us something to eat, do not worry, El. I will be here." Ziva would say ever softly as she would pull the woman in closer. Resting El's head on her breasts.El smiled softly at that, letting out a long breath through her nose. "That... would be nice. Thank you..." And with that, El was off to dreamland, happy to be in the arms of a new, unforeseen friend.
