Entombed Remnant

Chapter 2 – Otherworldly Lore

Their search resumed for hours on end. Axel’s skin tensed at the nearly freezing depths of the ruins he’d uncovered. When his time wasn’t spent digging through caved in pathways or examining leftover scraps from shattered structures and sculptures, Axel joyfully walked hand in hand with the gynoid beside him. She couldn’t have been the only discovery awaiting exposure, yet Eydís made it perfectly clear that the publicity side of Axel’s archaeology would be rendered moot here.

Often he’d look off to the side of his torch’s beam, purposefully yet hesitantly catching a glimpse of the gynoid’s attentive visage. Yesterday he’d almost let his inner emotions slip, though he currently realised an important detail in hindsight. His would-have-been declaration of love was stemmed primarily from a pleasant surprise, rather than true passion. It wouldn’t have been the first time in his life where such a fault occurred. Though not the unluckiest, he was never one to have great luck with romance. Most opportunities came about through chance, not through him seeking them.

Eydís purposefully hinted at something peculiar yesterday. From what Axel could gather, she’d at least attempted to guess what he almost said, keeping her prediction to herself. Claiming she might be sharing mutual emotions was hard for him to believe, yet Eydís had the most uncanny knack for both visual and audio analysis. She sincerely and accurately called him out on being horny yesterday, before proceeding to roast him with every definitive detail on why she was correct. Her ability to learn his language out of nowhere was especially bizarre. Unable to put such curiosity aside…

“Say, Eydís…how exactly did you learn English so quickly and efficiently? You passed it off as a trivial task, yet that ability has seemed to go unknown throughout our known history!” They slowed down upon reaching a large and eerie hall, sapphire statues of warriors and idols left mostly intact. As hard as they yanked Axel’s curiosity from his question, Eydís’s alluring yet sharp voice brought him back.

“Languages spoken by humans contain highly similar structures. When multiple spoken languages are already known, new languages can be decoded using only a few minutes of speech.” Though she explained adamantly, Axel still didn’t understand. What human would? “It would appear you’re having much trouble perceiving the feasibility. It is likely that this technology was not disclosed beyond our empire and is therefore lost to time. This feels counter-intuitive, given how reliant humans are on communication.”

“You’re somethin’ else, Eydís! Believe me, we’ve come a long way in our technological advancements, yet you’re eons beyond anything we can ever hope to achieve! Heck, that language learning technology alone would do wonders for us!” A flinch of shock jolted through him, feeling his train of thought derailing slightly. “Ah, please don’t worry. I understand that you’ll probably want that technology kept to yourself. Admittedly I’m not fully convinced that the world outside can be trusted with you being out there. Greed and deception plague our world.”

“That last detail of all things has remained unchanged. My advanced ability to analyse wasn’t just implemented to aid in serving, but also to weed out dishonesty within potential adversaries.” Eydís glanced off to the side briefly. With that came a hint of grimace. “This may be becoming apparent to you as well, but it leaves an ambiguity in how and where we’ll settle after our search is complete. I will gladly reside by you for as long as you require me, though great caution must be taken if either of us decides to leave this area.”

“I was indeed thinking the same. Even if I had you stay at my home…well, once I get a home again…it could prove difficult getting you over there. Unless I stayed here in Spain instead?” Axel flinched again in that same realisation of derailment, hurriedly reaching for the map in his pocket he’d been drawing, waiting to be completed. “We can figure that out later. Time to deduce this area!”

“Indeed. Soon we will definitely conclude something about our future together.” Eydís began stepping forth. Axel darted forth immediately after updating the map layout he’d been hastily drawing. Her left arm unfolded with those familiar holographic notes above it, as Eydís intently observed each sapphire statue in view. Her eyes had shifted from their amber colour to emerald throughout her investigation of this chamber.

Most writing among the plaques had been rendered illegible due to the catastrophic damage it shared with their statues. What remained legible wasn’t written in English. Some titles above paragraphs still held some readability, at least when interpreted beyond the challenging font. Names like ‘þórr’ and ‘Freyja’ became apparent, the latter of which sounded somewhat familiar to Axel.

“Hey Eydís, what’s with these names? Feels like I saw the name Freyja a few days ago. I take it these people meant a lot to you?” Eydís turned round, checking up what Axel had observed.

“Yes, Freyja (pronounced Frei-ya). She was always held in very high regard much like her brother, Freyr. Same goes for Thor, as you may have guessed.” Eydís glanced at Axel after a notable absence of response. “Master? You appear confused. Do you require elaboration from me?”

“Yeah…please explain this.” Axel appeared dumbfounded, his brain still not accustomed to having his view on existence completely twisted. “I mean, I get that these are probably names of Norse gods, but it leaves a lot of questions open about your culture.”

“Our empire would receive many blessings from the deities of an alternate landscape. Thor and Freyja there are noteworthy examples. They gifted us much power for the use of protection and vitality, allowing this world a chance to prosper efficiently. Many other realms had skewed perspectives, with vile creatures attempting to further harm this world through direct destruction or expert trickery. The Vᴂttr•thӕnis line was built with this in mind. We were to aid this empire to ensure a greater future, though given your perspective on the current world, our efforts were in vain.”

“Eydís, I’m sorry…I can tell you’re trying to be honest, but barely a word of that made sense.” Her eyes sharped, mildly offended. An eye shifted from emerald to cyan. “Look, I’m pretty sure that the Norse gods were never worshipped in Spain, okay? That and as far as I’m aware, no god ever actually made heavily apparent blessings or malevolent actions towards humanity. At least not within the past few centuries…”

Her eyebrows shifted slightly, appearing mildly shocked and upset. Her focus remained adamant on Axel, his honest words only cutting her deeper.

“Master, I can sense the shock within you. For once, I’m experiencing difficulty in putting together what I should be saying. I couldn’t have expected this turn of events. My creators did not properly prepare me for our failure.”

Axel approached shakily. Meeting Eydís was already an impossibly improbable occurrence itself, let alone anything that’s happened since. Craving to discover the unknown was in his nature, yet this felt far too drastic of a discovery. He gripped Eydís’s arms tightly as she continued staring intently.

“Eydís, I must know more.” His eyes began to water, mind crushing under the weight of the impending idea that his view of the world was a huge lie. “Please tell me everything you know about your knowledge on our world! I’ll exchange the information with all we believe up above!”

***

Nearly two hours were spent on Axel and Eydís discussing their own worlds’ histories, as they sat upon a large slab of rock nearby, their torch illuminating as much as possible as it rested beside them. Axel relayed all his knowledge and understanding of the world he knew. Everything from humanity’s recorded progression throughout history, to the vast digital network they created in recent decades, to the clash of various religious beliefs across the world. Throughout his overview on today’s rendition of humanity, he kept a more open mind than usual, speaking more from how the world has been viewed rather than making mass assumptions on how things truly are.

Axel feasted on plenty of the cream crackers and bourbon biscuits he’d packed with him, intently listening in on Eydís’s side of the world. As far as she was concerned, much of humanity forgot about the existence of their gods, while the rest passed on skewed information to their descendants throughout time. Many powerful forces were at conflict, aiming to claim various lands for themselves with varying motivations. The empire which Eydís followed had scattered across many lands of which eventually became known as Europe, aiming to ensure the world could maintain protection thanks to those from Asgard.

Memories of the cathedral collapsing into ruin made their return. Varying adversaries began making countless attacks, until their home was overrun by demonically empowered warriors. Within hours, even their strongest defences were pushed back into defeat, their strongest mages and machines merely prolonging the inevitable. Eydís has attempted to hide the man that cared for her the most, insisting he’d take the 14% survival chance by taking deep cover in the rooms to the side. Her sacrificial gift became interchanged, as the man instead shoved her into concealment before activating her temporal shutdown system. Unable to bear the thought of Eydís’s destruction, he fought the futile war without her. Nobody else survived to uncover and reawaken her, leaving her body in dust.

Reminders of her original purpose uncovered the strenuous memories that her mild hibernation fatigue couldn’t quite reach. Though barely visible on her face, Eydís mourned not only for the loss of those she served, but humanity’s historical progression and the lack of help it always required. It was eons too late to rectify humanity. Axel already made that crystal clear during his explanation of his world. Some would see Eydís as a symbol of hope and assurance, though most would rather exploit her nature in deceiving ways or simply pass her off as an elaborate prank.

“…So where does this leave us?” queried Axel after a long pause, both staring helplessly into the dusky distance. “It really won’t do any good for us to leave and share my discoveries. We can’t stay down here much longer though. I’ll need to replenish my food supply and you’ll feel lost of purpose down here.”

“Correct…” replied Eydís. She hesitated a further response, desperate to ensure reliable suggestions. Her hand gripped onto Axel’s, before standing back on two feet. “Our future is ambiguous for now. Our current priority should be maintaining ourselves during this present moment. We’ve studied most of what we need to down here. Next task is to keep you well preserved. We should be able to make our leave before your food supply is depleted. There are quicker paths out to the surface than the path we took getting here.”

Axel stood as well, matching eye level with hers. He’d hastily packed what little food he had out, ready to continue his adventure with Eydís, despite their destination being incredibly vague. His free hand placed itself on the hand Eydís was gripping.

“I agree. Let’s be on our way. Though the world may not be ready for you Eydís, it’s about time you saw sunlight again! I’ll do whatever’s needed to ensure you remain as happy and fulfilled as possible!”

“Master…thank you.” Eydís spoke with a calmer and softer tone than usual. “I am greatly thankful that you’re so kind and supportive of me, despite me holding the role of servitude. I also want to apologise for being approximately four seconds away from terminating your life. It is regretful that I actually decided to act upon the consideration, and the thought of how lost I’d be without you is troubling.”

“Eydís, please don’t feel so ashamed. Your initial reaction occurred because you care deeply for those important to you. Besides, I survived it thanks to you being considerate! Yes, I was close to being killed, but such an occurrence wouldn’t have happened because you heard me out. Please don’t let it all get to you!” What actually bothered Axel was her elaborating on how many seconds he’d have lived if he didn’t shout in a panic, though he didn’t have the nerve to admit that.

“Master, thank you again. I feel greatly reassured that I made the correct choice in allowing you to be my previous master’s successor.”

“I won’t let you down, Eydís! Though you insist on being the one serving me, I can’t help but care for you back!” A warm smile crept upon Axel’s face as he clutched her metal hand tightly. Sincerity was strong with every word he spoke, believing he could trust her with their lives. “By the way Eydís, before we set off, are there any further activities you feel the need to carry out here? I’m not sure how much of this place you were able to investigate.”

“There are two things I must two before we leave. I feel that they are both of high importance.” Her sharper tone returned, though it still retained a sense of gentle affection.

“Okay, sure thing! What might the first one be?” Axel pondered aloud. Without a moment to spare, Eydís firmly grabbed onto his arms before pulling him in.

As Eydís locked Axel in place against her rigid body, she pressed her solid warmish lips against his. She held him for many seconds as he flinched in shock and perplexity. Her eyes were shut, focusing hard on massaging his tender lips with hers, exactly as a highly experienced and affectionate human would. After continuing to intensify her kissing pressure further, she wrapped an arm around Axel’s back, her free hand holding his dazed head to hers.

Axel’s body couldn’t budge. He didn’t want it to. His body weight began leaving him as Eydís’s strength restrained it within her passionate embrace. Her smooth yet powerful tongue had entered his mouth, painting itself around his ticklish walls as his own tongue could only tremble under the sensation. Eydís spent minutes pampering his shaking body with her deep kiss, strength never wavering as Axel fell limp within her warm cuddle.

She eventually parted the kiss with her amber eyes slowly reopening. Axel gasped in a desperate reach for more air, struggling against the pressure around his chest as his body weight returned to his senses. His forehead remained pressed against Eydís’s, meeting her ever intent stare.

“E-Eydís, I…” Axel remembered how to speak, though his mind still felt a tad scrambled. “W-Was that…really one of your important tasks? It felt incredible!”

“Hmm? Master, why the modesty?” Her head tilted in confusion, noticing the confused look upon Axel which soon followed. “Perhaps your mind still hasn’t accustomed to what I said previously. I want you to stay as healthy as possible, and a regular sexual release is a key part of that. Today, I didn’t need to alter between my various analytical sight modes to notice your energy progressing towards its peak.”

“Huh? Eydís…honestly I wasn’t actually t-that horny…y-yet…” His train of thought halted upon seeing Eydís slowly close her eyelids partway.

“For hours, you’ve taken frequent glances at my appearance out of your own interest. I understand that look in your eye when you stare at my face, body, arms, or armour. It especially happened a lot during our long conversation about our differing worlds. Each glare sparked more arousal in your body. It has now reached the point where you’re building up unnecessary tension. I would happily do the honour of relieving you of your tension, should you verbally express your desires for it. Please be honest with yourself.”

“Well, that kissing did give me a hard on…” Axel let out a light sigh. “Fine, I admit it, you got me horny again! You did catch notice even before I did, but clearly I could never hope to ever hide it from you either way…”

“There will likely never be a moment where you will require to conceal your attraction towards me. I will always be ready to pleasure you, so please be truthful with your own feelings.”

“I’ll bear that in mind from now on!” Axel smirked. Eydís could read the consideration in his eyes. “First though…I think I want to relive that experience I just had. I’m sure you won’t mind if I…”

Axel leaned in, pressing his own lips against Eydís’s in an attempt to mimic her technique. As she continued to hold him, Axel surrendered to his own weight, letting himself fall slightly knowing that Eydís would embrace his body with far greater strength. Tight pressure wrapped around his chest, an arm locking itself behind him as a hand steadily held his dazed head. Eydís’s strength could never falter with Axel’s mass in her arms. Well aware of this, Axel let himself drift into a blissful trance as he focused all attention on the affectionate kiss Eydís was bestowing him. He kissed and cuddled to the best of his ability, not that his skill came any bit close to equalling her ability.

Though her offer to re-experience yesterday’s pleasure was greatly enticing, simply being within her embrace almost felt warming and uplifting enough on its own. Since Axel showed no signs of wanting to stop, Eydís held no intentions of doing so either. What felt like five minutes continued around them, as Axel’s tongue fell under an aching exhaustion. With no desire to stop, he squeezed her metal body with his relatively soft arms, doing little more than signifying his will to continue kissing. Eydís quickly acknowledged and accepted, gladly embracing him far longer.

Her soft tongue began tracing its way along his palate and the inners walls of his cheeks, veering focus away from wrestling his weary tongue. Axel shivered and squealed uncontrollably within her grip, the violent tickling sensation rushing through his body as his breathing grew dangerously rapid. No extent of flailing could hope to budge or hinder Eydís, entirely focused on serving the fullest extent of pleasures while her strength retained its peak stamina.

As Axel flailed and flinched progressively harder with jagged rhythms, Eydís eventually parted lips, slowly leaving them an inch away. She gazed into his barely focused eyes as he gasped for air in desperation. Despite being at no risk, Eydís had destroyed his sense of composure, knowing too well he’d adore it no matter how hard he thrashed and gasped. She patiently waited for Axel to regain his own control, holding him with enough space from her dress to gently pull its halves to the sides. Her metallic gown no longer covered the front of her body, leaving Axel’s to be pressed firmly against it.

“Eydís, that…how do you make kissing feel so good?” Axel could barely form the words, having only just remembered how to stand. “If you were to meet people from the outside world, they could probably learn many talents from you!”

“Interesting. I was thinking it would be the opposite. Surely there are plenty of new talents I could learn to further please you? Either way Master, I recommend you allow your penis more room, given that it’s likely uncomfortable due to its constrictive location.”

“Very true!” Axel spared no moment in unbuttoning his trousers and lowering his pants, letting his erection spring out. Remaining in Eydís’s tight embrace added a few seconds to the task, though that was nothing he could ever complain about. “Heh, you got me! If by chance you were exaggerating my lust for you before, you certainly wouldn’t be now! I lo-, I really like you Eydís! I can’t thank you enough for all the joy you bring me!”

“Likewise. You surpass my preferences for what I hoped my previous master’s successor would be like. Thank you again for accepting me in your life!” She tightened the cuddle upon Axel momentarily, her forehead pressed gently against his. “Now Master, I must ask the important question. How would you like to experience my body next?”

Axel glanced towards that large slab of rock they’d rested upon earlier. Conveniently, its upper surface was rather smooth and horizontal, while also extruded high enough above the ground to be comforting.

“I’ll take control this time. Please rest up over there, Eydís. I’ll remain standing…”

“Thank you, Master.” Eydís leaned in again for a quick kiss on his lips, before gently freeing him from her grip. She audibly stepped over to the rock Axel had indicated, carefully climbing back up onto it. “I appreciate your outward desire. Please use my body to ensure yours feels as pleased as can be.”

Though her metal gown remained between her and the stony structure, her entire front remained exposed. Eydís lifted both legs up; spreading them wide as she firmly placed her iron shoes upon her unflinching bedstead. She reached a hand out to Axel, inviting him to advance closer.

Axel leaned in with his hands pressed onto the stone beneath her, arms held against either side of her body. He’d already grown so attached to her longing stare and tender kisses that his body couldn’t resist a little extra, magnetising himself against her while planting another kiss upon her lips. Gladly she returned it, kissing with as much care and vigour as before. Axel felt a firm hand place itself behind his back, holding him gently in place.

Upon parting their lips, Eydís brought her hand over to tenderly caress Axel’s cheek. He felt his enlarged cock rest against her warm metal exterior, a minuscule vibration being felt as her vaginal walls began widening.

“Master, I am ready for you. This time, I will have some lubrication to help your cock feel notably better than previously.” Eydís’s words grew subtly softer, a tint of violet briefly visible within her eyes.

“I doubt I could wait much longer regardless. I’m going in, Eydís!” Axel reeled his cock back as Eydís parted her hand from his face, ready to embrace him again when needed. He slowly slid his erection into her, his sensitive skin gently being stroked down its entire length by her silky smooth and watery insides.

Losing all sense of vocal modesty in an instant, he flinched and moaned momentarily as she caressed his length. Already she felt notably tenderer than yesterday, yet Eydís spared no moment in clasping his cock with greater force. She enclosed him within, utilising enough pressure to bestow cosiness without hindering his motions. Quickly noticing, Axel slowly thrusted in an out, deep enough to press his body against hers whilst never allowing his glans to leave. Little friction could be felt, nothing enough to irritably tug at his skin.

Slowly yet steadily he continued to thrust, gradually picking up the pace without restraint. Axel felt so warm and cosy within Eydís, his body and voice shaking as he slowly drowned in the pleasure. Eydís retained a gentle embrace around his erection, her delicate and silky entrance seemingly knowing exactly how firmly to hold on. Still staring into Axel, her sight narrowed as her amber eyes progressively tinted to a familiar shining lilac.

Axel couldn’t slow down. Despite Eydís’s obvious efforts to ensure he wouldn’t bust his load abruptly, her velvety haven drove his body crazy. His once stable arms began to falter as his energised cock slammed harder and faster into her.

“Aahh, Eydís…th-this feels incredible! I can’t…can’t slow down…it f-feels too…f-fu- aaahh!” Axel’s arm strength caved in as his body fell hard upon Eydís’s. His cock began thrusting harder still, all sense of remorse seemingly lost. As his face held inches away from Eydís’s, she wrapped her arms back around his body, lifting his shirt to remove the border between their skin and metal. “F-fuck… Eydís I…I’m sorry, I r-really can’t…slow down at all…I…I’m getting close! Fu-…fuck, I…”

Without a word of warning, Eydís wrapped her legs round to clasp at Axel’s waist. Axel gasped in shock as he felt one final and powerful thrust into Eydís, balancing on the edge of orgasm yet not quite reaching it. He couldn’t move. Eydís held him tightly within her, staring longingly at his confused yet highly aroused gaze. As Axel began to cool down, Eydís lifted one arm above his head, gently and lovingly caressing it.

“Master, I can tell you want to rest so that you may experience more of me…” Eydís’s voice retained her soft demeanour, despite that oddly lustful look written on her face. “May I suggest however, that you relax in my embrace while I take over the role of input? I believe you’ll greatly enjoy remaining on that edge of yours. I’ll do what I can to fulfil that desire.”

Before Axel could mutter any response, he felt a warming pressure wrap around at his shaft. Though not strangling, her grip was adamant in its potency and precision. With only the gentlest silken touches applied to his tip, Eydís stroked his shaft up and down with a steadily increasing rhythm, all while securing him tightly within her limbs.

“Please relax, Master…” whispered Eydís, her pussy gradually stroking with increased pressure and length. “Relax against my body while I bring your divine penis to edge. I’ll provide you with an orgasm of very high intensity. Please tell me when you want your testicles to be drained.”

For minutes longer, Axel did exactly as suggested, happily resting upon Eydís as his cock was quickly pumped to the edge of climax. Often he’d feel a sample of pre-cum pulse its way through him, though Eydís seemed to get a clear read on how much more would push him over the edge for good. Her left eye shifting to a cyan tint acted as an additional hint of this. Axel wanted to test both their endurances, primarily out of receiving more of that pleasure he adored. Every stroke pushed him closer to the realisation that he was nearing his limits, desperate for that powerful release.

“Oh fuck…Eydís I c-can’t…handle much more…aahhh!!” Axel’s body tensed as further dribbles of pre-cum pulsed through his cock. “OH SHIT…OH FU-, EYDĺS…PLEASE…PLEASE DRAIN ME! IT’S TOO MUCH! PLEASE FI-, AAAAHHHHH!!”

With no warning, Eydís’s loving entrance clamped hard around Axel’s yearning cock, vigorously pumping his entire rigid length with rapid and relentless strokes. Axel’s body seized up within Eydís’s inflexible clutch, bellowing out the loudest vocal climax a human could ever be capable of. His mighty roars echoed brazenly against the surrounding walls, incapable of shedding a hint of restraint. All that could be felt within his muscles was sheer pleasure, exactly as Eydís wanted from him.

Eydís further narrowed her gaze, having shifted both eye colours to blissful violet. For as long as Axel kept bellowing out in ecstasy, Eydís continued to pump his raging cock. Only after half a minute passed did she slow down, switching to slow suction pumps after fatigue had claimed Axel. He fell completely limp against Eydís, flinching and gasping at her pussy’s final few pumps.

“Ahhh…Eydís, that was…s-so incredible…I…ahhh…” Axel’s words were failing him, barely able to fight past his strenuous breaths. “Thank you…so much Eydís…I’ve never felt that great in my life before…!”

“It greatly pleases me that you thoroughly enjoyed it, Master.” Eydís resumed stroking Axel’s head, her grip on his body gentler yet still present. “I hope the thunderous echoes have not inflicted damage upon your ears. Your moans were reaching dangerously loud extremes. If you require rest before we leave, please rest for however long you require.”

“Th-Thank you again…! I…I should be fine. Probably won’t need to fall asleep this time…”

“Good to hear, Master. Please give your body the time it needs.” An odd pause parted her words, held up by lingering thoughts. “…And if at any point you want to experience me in new ways, please suggest your ideas. Frequent sex can eventually grow stale for some humans. I do not want you to grow even the slightest bit bored of your hedonistic pleasure.”

“Hehe, I’ll be sure to bare that in mind! Long after I’ve rested, I’ll mention a few acts that humans have recently created and shared! It’s definitely one of our better achievements!”

***

Half an hour passed as Axel verged on the edge of slumber. He arose with a stiff body, Eydís only loosening her grip upon sensing Axel’s energy return. Both casually returned their clothing to their usual state, brushing themselves off. Axel appeared notably happy and rejuvenated despite being drained of vital energy not long prior. Eydís stood proudly with her focused amber eyes, observing Axel’s body to ensure he stood as healthily as he believed.

“Well, we’re ready then! Time to get going for now.” Axel picked his torch back up, taking one last look at the nearby sapphire statues. “Oh wait, wasn’t there a second thing you needed to do before we depart?”

“Indeed.” Eydís nodded. She immediately began stepping over to the rear of the chamber, a place that Axel hadn’t actually examined as closely. “This is a personal matter. You do not have to join me on this task if you do not want to.”

Axel still followed, undeniably interested. Eydís stood in front of a collapsed sapphire statue, seemingly depicting a winged female warrior, presumably once with the shattered horse statue beside it. After staring intently at the troubling sight, Eydís folded in her gown slightly before crouching in front of the warrior’s tribute.

“I apologise that we of the Vᴂttr•thӕnis range were not able to prevent the calamity.” Eydís spoke with sincerity as her hand reached out. A tinge of guilt clung to her voice. “Though our forces combined were eventually countered, we all did what was possible in ensuring the best for humanity. I, Vᴂttr•thӕnis032, will contribute however possible to the wellbeing of deserving humans, forever filling my role even as the final servant of our people. To any Valkyries still alive out there, please watch over the greatest of humans. Never allow our demonic adversaries to rise up ever again. We’ll do our best to ensure the same.”

She stood back up, approaching Axel slowly. Her hands were held firmly together, a strangely less focused stare shining upon him.

“Master, I’ve completed the task at hand.” spoke Eydís, that tinge of guilt still present. “We can proceed now.”

“Are you sure you’re okay? I know it may sound weird, but you sound a bit glum. If you need to spare another moment, that’s fine by me!”

“I am fine. Thank you for your concern. I needed to speak that short prayer, not just for myself but in case there really are others watching over us still. I always had great respect for the Valkyries in particular, so paying respect felt extra necessary. It is time we left. We must focus on the moment, so getting you to a safer place above takes priority.”

“Understood. Let’s get going!” Axel held out a hand, which Eydís gladly took. They walked alongside one another through the dark tunnels of the ruins, Axel’s torch still reliably paving the way.

“If it isn’t a problem Master, I would prefer it if we took a path we have yet to take. I remember the way. It is not much more time consuming than the path you took to get here, with the benefit of seeing places we did not see beforehand.”

“Honestly? I’d rather take that path! That spiral tunnel I dug for myself is admittedly steep and uneven. That and I’m not in the biggest rush to leave!”

***

Long and dusty hallways held high with impressive architecture, despite much of its foundation having long collapsed. Their footsteps echoed loudly and creepily, showcasing themselves as the only living specimens to walk these halls. Countless scripts and illustrations were etched into the walls, seemingly depicting many interactions with celestial figures and fiendish shadows.

With the amount of ancient writing here, even Axel would be afraid to ask for a translation, given how time consuming the stories would be to tell. Those drawings of the shadowed demons plagued him with paranoia. Eydís mentioned “demonic adversaries” earlier, which became something he actually considered fearing for once.

They had already diverged from their previous path, with Eydís fairly adamant on where to go. A few doorways were caved in, as expected. By the time Axel could prepare his excavation tools, Eydís had already blasted the rubble away with her photon cannon.

“So um…I’m not exactly annoyed, I’m just a bit curious…why did I spend what felt like hours digging up the other debris?” Axel meant what he said; he wasn’t annoyed for the most part. Deep down, curiosity was distracting him from any immediate anger.

“Because I hadn’t fully adjusted the power balancing of my weaponry yesterday. My photon cannon is efficient for the most part, but still drains vital energy after excessive usage. Had you have grown weary from excessive digging, I would have stepped in to contribute.”

“Hmm, fair enough I guess”. Axel began putting his tools back, before something peculiar caught his attention while his torch left the path’s focus. “Is that light in the distance? Are we…nearing the surface already?”

“It appears so. We are at the edge of our underground temple. I’m not sure what would remain at the edge during this era, but we should proceed regardless. Please remain wary.”

As they stepped out of the ruined temple halls, Axel and Eydís entered a long cavernous road from its side. Uneven walls towered above them, up to the gap of sunlight far above. This floor beneath wasn’t as smooth, yet was still made to be a comforting walking ground. Most of the dust and rubble had made its way to the sides, allowing a smooth enough pathway along the centre.

“This path…” Eydís focused hard on their surroundings, shifting her eye colour to a yellow and emerald combination. “It would appear…that this pathway isn’t completely abandoned. It’s seen little to no use as of late, yet some people put in effort to ensure this pathway would be more comforting. It couldn’t have happened naturally.”

“Interesting…seems they didn’t think to dig through that rubble just now though.” Axel observed the wide doorway, choked with considerably less debris thanks to Eydís’s arm cannon. “Either way, we know to be cautious at least. Should we make an effort to conceal the entrance?”

“…Perhaps so…” Eydís aimed her photon cannon above the pathway, stepping far away as she held tightly onto Axel’s hand. The swirling arcane circles around her arm glistened harshly as they spun faster. A vicious blast of static energy shot into the wall above the collapsed doorway, sealing back up. “It will not be left non-conspicuous, though it at least it will not look inviting. It is best if our empire is properly laid to rest, if exposure and humiliation is the price to pay otherwise.”

“Fair enough. I doubt we’ll see anyone else nearby for a while, though we’re better safe than sorry here…”

Unsurprisingly, a pit of fear dug inside Axel as he considered the decreased likelihood of discovering anything he could report back to his home. Eydís could perhaps help uncover something else nearby, though returning to his van should take priority for now.

They followed the path for many minutes, Eydís predicting they’d find a path to the surface by sunset. Many shifts in elevation and direction ensued, with multiple paths partially obstructed by huge boulders and crevasses. Eydís retained her tight grip on Axel’s hand, pacing her heavy footsteps with added softness.

Axel remained comparatively relaxed. Though uncertainty crept up on how likely they’d emerge using this path, on account of Eydís’s local knowledge being accurate to nearly two millennia ago, they still had a backup route out of here if required. That alongside Eydís’s demonstration of sharp wit and raw power gave him a considerably high amount of reassurance.

Half an hour subsided through the rough and dusty caverns. Axel hoped they weren’t straying too far from his van up above, though Eydís showed greater concerns. Her tension hadn’t faded. She crept forward with unwavering caution, her left eye having turned glossy silver.

Without warning, she halted. Eydís faced the left walls, stepping in front of Axel with her left arm across his body. Her right arm slowly unfolded her trusted photon cannon. Various clusters of boulders inhabited that area, forming uneven alcoves.

“Eydís…?” Axel whispered. Potential danger certainly lurked, though she wasn’t being specific about it yet. “W-What’s there? I can’t sense anything.”

“Radiation sensors detect a faint presence…” she quietly replied. Her whisper sounded more like her regular voice at a reduced volume. “Despite their reduced heat signal, I can still see them hiding.”

Eydís proceeded to charge her deadly weapon, her amber eye shifting to crimson. A blast was launched inaccurately, hitting a nearby wall with many rocky shards scattering afar. A voice of a woman shrieked momentarily, echoing from the alcoves. Her voice sounded oddly mature, yet notably shocked and agitated.

“Presence of unfamiliar creature confirmed.” Eydís kept her stance, her voice shifting to a loud assertion. “Attempts to counterattack or to remain hiding are strongly ill-advised. Any threats towards me or my Master will be answered with your immediate termination. Step out of the alcove now and prepare f-, oh wait…this is likely the incorrect language. Master, how should we interact with a local creature that can only speak in the Rabbit’s language?”

“Rabbit’s…language? Are we seriously being threatened by a rabbit?” Sheer perplexity consumed Axel’s previously tense expression.

“Unlikely in a literal sense. You previously claimed that ‘Spanish’, also known as the ‘Language of the Rabbit’s Land’, was the dominant communication format in this country.”

“Rabbits? Eydís, how the heck did you conclude that from the name Spain? Wait no, please don’t answer, it might fry my brain.”

“Fry it literally or metaphorically?”

“Metaphorically of course? Ahh, how did we even-?”

Their senses refocused upon hearing the unknown woman speak, much fear and tension sewn into her words.

“Please don’t attack! I wish no malice or danger upon you!” Speaking in fluent English, tied with a heavy Catalan accent, the woman slowly emerged.

Her hair shone a luscious dark red at the head, shifting through the hue spectrum to reach a golden yellow down by her body. As her tanned face emerged, subtle red scales were noticeable alongside it, with slightly pointed ears poking through her hair. Her complexion held much smoothness among her face and slightly rounded body, converging into lustrous red scales at her waist. Below her waist, her body trailed down into a serpentine form, gently edging her forward as she held her arms up in submission.

Thick cotton clothing in a rich cream colour wrapped around her chest and waist, held together by large golden clips at the front. Her eyes gave an intent glare with a dark green shine, oddly mimicking the focused stare Eydís kept giving. As she eerily slithered forward, more of her long serpentine body revealed itself, coiling up partway once she’d gotten within a three meter reach of Axel. Fear remained in her eyes as Eydís kept a tight aim on her presence.

“Wait, are you…?” Axel flinched, his head aching from the bewilderment. “You’re a lamia…right? But that…can’t be…”

“Indeed, I do possess the lower body of a serpent.” retorted the lamia, clearly expecting the analysis. “More importantly, there isn’t a need to project hostility. I wish neither of you harm. Even if I did, you’ve portrayed immense powers that I could never hope to rival. Forgive me for lying hidden. I was uncertain on who was approaching and could take few chances.”

“Predatory creature acknowledged.” Eydís countered. Her silver eye began shifting between cyan and emerald. “Like regular serpents, you are a predator in search of prey. My human master here likely appears delectable to you in some form. You are strictly forbidden from inflicting any harm upon him.”

“Yet as I said, I wish neither of you any harm. It does us no good to forge conflict with one another; neither do I feast upon human flesh. My presence here continued after overhearing loud voices from afar. I couldn’t help but investigate such an occurrence…”

“You’re speaking fluent English…?” interrupted Axel.

“Why of course, dear. Despite my isolation, learning various linguistics has proven useful! Tell me, did the loud voice emanate from you specifically? Interesting to know that a handsome human male created such a sound!”

“Refrain from flirting with Master.” Eydís unfolded her laser cannons from her shoulders, thin laser pointers taking aim. Six metal tendrils unfolded from her back, without the faltering movements from beforehand. “If any harm is attempted or even threatened against Master, your life will be forfeit.”

The lamia flinched in shock, her tense fear flowing back. Her unblinking stare redirected to the gynoid with multiple weapons readied.

“Is this automation of yours usually this volatile? What must I say to persuade you of my good will?”

“Correction. The correct terminology would be automaton, not automation. The latter does not accurately imply my humanoid nature.” The lamia’s glare slowly shifted back to Axel, confusion laced into her scarlet eyebrows.

“Might she also be this…pedantic? Perhaps you could help me out here?”

“Eydís, please calm down.” Axel’s hand placed itself upon Eydís’s shoulder, hoping she wouldn’t hold faith in paranoia. “I appreciate your concern, though I really think we should at least hear her out…”

“Very well, Master…” Eydís’s shoulder lasers refolded, her arm defocusing its photon cannon. “You’ve heeded my warning, lamia. Abide by it if you expect to live.”

Letting out an audible sigh, the lamia lowered her arms to her side. Her unflinching stare slowly returned, beaming into Axel.

“Seleen. That’s my name.” Fear slowly began leaving her voice, her huskier demeanour substituting it. “I’m aware of the name of your mechanical maiden, but what might yours be? What might you have been up to around these parts?”

“Umm, Axel…I’m Axel Rex, an archaeologist…” Realisation grasped at him. Word of Eydís’s existence wasn’t his to control right now. Fortunately, Eydís didn’t seem to mind. “I’ve umm…been in search of some things with Eydís, though we’re on our way back to the surface. I…really wasn’t expecting to see a lamia here. I was certain you were all something of myth.”

“Interesting…” commented Seleen. “Well, I think you’d find that ‘lamia’ refers to the eldest within our species, but no matter. Haven’t spoken with a human man in many long years! Though what exactly have you been up to, hmm? A researcher of the ancients, sure, though I’d wager that you’re one to indulge in deep desires. Your voice bares resemblance to that from earlier, echoing through the walls…”

“Well, I really just explored this area in case of undiscovered relics, but…”

“Master is indeed horny by nature.” intruded Eydís. Increasing discomfort crept upon Axel’s face. “However, he is not in need of a more lustful creature such as you to provide him with immense pleasure. He gladly has me for that. Please refrain from unwarranted flirting.”

Seleen reeled back slightly in shock, fingers barely covering her gasp. She glared back at Axel, a judgemental expression creeping up on her. She slowly began smirking, degradingly…

“My my, Axel. I suspected Nilda may have discovered you before me, though I could not have expected this! Despite appearing as that of a young man, clearly you’re old enough to stop playing with your toys, hmm? Why not seek out the comfort of a real woman like myself?”

“I’m…fine, thanks…” Axel was at a slight loss for words. Mentioning his age of twenty-six would probably provoke more attempts of humiliation. That unblinking stare from Seleen wasn’t helping. Her dark green eyes held vertical pupils, much like that of an actual snake. When Eydís gazed into him, it felt attentive for his own sake, to find any holes of discomfort that she could perhaps aid in. Seleen’s gaze felt predatory. A domineering watch, made to untangle and re-tangle him for her sake. Her eyebrows began rising as Axel struggled for a further response.

“Listen here, Axel. Any attentive woman who’d act in your interest could quickly conclude that you’re a lustful fellow. What may be subtle to you, such as your speech patterns and body tension, I can read like a large open book! Your mechanical maiden appears adept at reading these factors too. Why not have her confirm your tension?”

Axel’s sight darted between the two women, their own gazes far more focused. Eydís appeared patient, ready to figure him out if necessary. Seleen’s prideful smirk grew a little, playfully enjoying the embarrassment that Axel could hardly weave his way out of. He knew deep down that inaction would indeed cause Eydís to confirm his bodily state, in a more direct manner than he’d prefer. His body straightened up as he wrapped his arm around Eydís’s.

“Sorry Seleen, whether or not I’m feeling lustful is irrelevant to you. I don’t care if others consider it weird for me to be attached to someone who’s mechanical. I like Eydís, a lot! She’s all I need. I’m happily taken. Once my tension increases further, Eydís will want to have sex with me and relax me. I don’t need you, Seleen. Sorry to disappoint you.”

“Once your tension increases further, hmmm?” As Seleen’s taunting words stroked his ears, he felt the cold skin of her arms gently wrap his unoccupied arm. Her face leaned is slightly as her chest pressed against him. “Though your mechanical maiden didn’t call you out, you yourself have gone and confirmed it! While I’m rather flattered that I spark up your inner emotions, I’m also a tad offended. It’s not that you rejected me, it’s that you didn’t quite listen to me. I did heavily imply acting within your favour, which you clearly haven’t properly acknowledged. Yes, I’d benefit too, though that would only serve to further your own bliss…”

Axel glanced back to Eydís, confused by her lack of intervention. Her eyes held that cyan and silver combination again, studying them both carefully.

“Master, how exactly are you feeling right now?” queried Eydís. Her words gradually grew more delicate. “I’m struggling to get an interpretation with a high prediction of accuracy. You seem to be in conflict. Please state your honest emotions as they currently are.”

As their focus only persisted upon Axel, he could only stutter a little. Seleen’s glare left his body oddly stiff, her smug visage leaning in closer while her soft serpentine body began cuddling up. Without restraining, her long body slowly pressed against his back, tail prepared to coil round him when accepted.

“Isn’t it quite obvious, Eydís?” Seleen’s tone grew more in intensity, eyes not parting from the sight of Axel. “Clearly your man feels attraction to me, doubly curious as to what pleasure I could provide, yet he surprisingly still feels…attached to you. Due to such prolonged attachment, he can’t quite make up his mind. Allow me to make things less strenuous, Axel…consider polyamory. Contrary to popular belief, humans are often well adapted to such a concept. Case in point, you don’t want to forego either of us lovely women!”

“Analysis from Seleen appears accurate. Master certainly feels attraction to you. Your statement about polyamory also contains high accuracy. Master, do you have any objections to Seleen’s statements?”

“Wha-? Eydís!” gasped Axel, her bizarre behaviour bringing Axel’s sight out of its trance. “You can’t be serious! I meant what I said! I’m attracted to you and feel no reason to interact with others in that way! Seleen, please get off me…”

“You do not strike me as the monogamous type, Master. I sense infatuation from Seleen, but no malevolence. For your own protection, I will not let you leave my sight while in her presence. Other than that, you are free to do what you wish with her. In fact, I seriously suggest that you consider the offer.”

Paralysed in shock, Axel’s body grew stiffer, his voice seizing up alongside it. A smooth and caring hand held him by the hairy chin, Seleen rotating his head back to her predatory gaze.

“If anything Axel, you being alongside your mechanical maiden should provide additional comfort and assurance.” Seleen’s ultra-soft hand slowly caressed his cheek, her fingers occasionally stroking at his neck. “I would never dare indulge in such an act if it meant probable doom. With that protection, along with encouragement from someone who agrees with polyamory, why wouldn’t you let me coil my luscious body around yours?”

Axel’s lips trembled. At this point, he began realising he was merely looking for excuses for not taking on Seleen’s offer. Her hungry gaze was expecting a response, yet simultaneously prolonging it. His mind scrambled for words, anything to protect himself from further self-embarrassment.

“Perhaps I could assist in your decision, Axel?” Seleen spoke progressively slower, her silken tone pushing Axel’s mind into repose. “Your delicate mind is frantically hunting down excuses to be on your way. That thirsting bulge in your pants and this burning skin on your cheeks…they’re the ones speaking your desires. Should you accept the spiralling comfort of my tender embrace, you’ll only be giving it undying gratitude! Since you’re feeling rather passive in this current moment, no expense of effort will be required on your part! Your mechanical maiden and I clearly know what’s best for you…as does your ravenous cock…”

“Seleen…I…” slurred Axel, feeling the metallic arm he still held start to slide out his grip. Eydís had taken a few steps back, Seleen waiting no additional moment to wrap her smooth arms around Axel’s body. By his legs, Axel felt a soft yet rigid surface slide gracefully along him, working its way up to his waist.

Her coiling body slipping against him slowly, Seleen leaned in further for a firm kiss. Axel gasped within, Seleen’s soft lips pressing and massaging his own while her predacious eyes remained half-attentive. Unwilling to make any attempt of resistance against the tender feeling, Axel yielded no effort in denying Seleen’s tongue entry. Unseen beforehand, her tongue felt oddly thin yet dexterous, with two pointy ends reaching all around the core of Axel’s hungry mouth. She held an odd flavour, a mysteriously strong taste painting itself against Axel’s tongue, mildly heavy sensations travelling down his throat afterwards.

Seleen pulled back well after a minute, letting out an audible and erotic gasp upon doing so. Her eyelids twitched as her intense glare further sharpened, deep lustrous hunger overpowering her. Her spiked tongue gently licked her lips as her breathing slowly intensified.

“Well Axel, time for you to voice your desires to me! Upon hearing your favourable words, I’ll stop limiting that pleasure to such a miniscule supply!” Seleen’s further taunting became halted by a long metal tendril slamming against her back, the lamia exhaling an immodest moan in shock. She’d almost completely forgotten they were being closely observed.

“Final reminder, Seleen. Any attempts to harm Master will result in your adamant termination. With that restriction in mind, please also provide Master with the greatest extent of pleasure possible. I actively encourage it. Master, you have nothing to fear when coiled up with Seleen. Please express your desires to her.” Eydís reeled her tendril back, Axel and Seleen’s glares still unflinching. Seleen’s eyebrows perked up, judgementally awaiting Axel’s decision.

“Heh, I…I admit it…” stated Axel, voice still mildly slurred. Despite his insecurity beforehand, his mind finally grew closer to comfort. “Se-Seleen…do it…please me however you see fit…I…I want it all!” Leaning in to press his face gently against hers, Axel wrapped his arms around Seleen’s awaiting body.

“Good boy…” What remained of Seleen’s body progressed in coiling upwards, wrapping around them both. It took little time for Axel’s torso to be completely enveloped, Seleen’s tail resting its tip by his shoulder. He felt the rising pressure of her refreshing breath against his face, subtle hissing growing audible before making its way into her words. “That tender skin along my back feels…irresistibly soothing, does it not? Our clothing provides no favours. Relax while they part ways with us…”

Lifting up a hand to her chest, their mesmerised gazes not departing, Seleen swiftly detached the golden clips from her clothes before eagerly throwing them aside. Axel’s shirt was next, Seleen’s coils rising with perfect synergy to release Axel in mere seconds. Immediately upon release his release, Seleen’s cooling embrace squeezed around his chest. An uncontainable smirk formed around her agape mouth upon sighting Axel’s shock of bliss. Within the trance he was joyfully gliding towards, he felt his impatient erection spring forth against Seleen’s scales. He hasn’t noticed Seleen’s coordinated hand unbutton his remaining clothes, which her coiling body was rapidly sliding down.

Clothed only at the ankles and below, Axel held Seleen tightly with his arms cuddled around her soft body. How securely he snuggled up with her mattered little. Seleen’s coiled body held an adamant grip on him, preventing any ease of simple movements should he attempt it. Wearing his clothes earlier did a surprising amount to hinder how much he had felt prior. Each wrap around Axel was slowly stroking him, back and forth in alternating patterns. Each scale held a face of velvety softness, the indents between them going far by providing minor yet pleasurable tingles.

Across his front, his body laid pressed against an immovable yet silken cushion, large additional pillows squashed in front of his nipples. Every section of his body from legs to shoulders felt soothing and refreshing tranquillity, as Seleen continued her blissful massage upon Axel. Extra sensitive areas such as his thighs and tendons were catered for harder, with extra ranges of speed, distance and pressure.

With all his lust piling up further, he noticed his hips trying to buck forwards slightly on their own accord. Seleen’s cheeks rounded further, blushing slightly upon sighting Axel’s own realisation of his unintended actions. Her audible and haughty giggles weren’t helping.

“My my…such a greedy one, aren’t you Axel?” taunted Seleen. Her exotic hissing was shedding any remaining modesty, Axel gasping upon feeling the delicate hand suddenly caressing his cock. “Perhaps…my darling Axel is growing impatient? Desperate perhaps? Squeezing your thirsting cock against my body feels delightful, doesn’t it? Worry not, your inevitable explosion of delicious semen won’t be wasted against my body…assuming I’m feeling generous enough…”

“Oh no…please…” begged Axel. Dread wrote itself along his eyes as his hips faintly bucked in futility. “Seleen…don’t you dare…! If you have more to give…please let me have it! Let me feel as much as I can!”

“Hmmm, interesting…” giggled Seleen. “Appears that you’re forgetting…who exactly is in control here…What might my darling prey be doing to convince me…? I assure you, the entrance which your erection craves is far more luxurious when compared with that of a human’s…”

Axel groaned uncontrollably, flailing very little of his body in the lamia’s tight grip. His skin all over his body was growing extra sensitive under her silken touch, raw energy swelling up until his body became a fidgety mess. With only his head remaining loose, he jolted himself forwards for a strong kiss. As his lips pressed hard against hers, a part of Seleen tried to reel back a little, purely out of tease.

She could feel his hands against her back futility push their way up, unable to raise enough to hold her head in place. While contemplating how much she should further taunt Axel, his tongue pushed its way into her, halting any further thoughts. Somehow, he’d found a way to make her flinch and squeal under the intensity.

Acting through a mix of instinct and recognition, Axel vigorously stroked the erogenous walls of Seleen’s mouth, prioritising her palate. Extra traces of that strange and heavy flavour could be tasted, primarily behind her two sharp fangs. Seleen’s head reeled back out of reach from her astonishment. She was gasping hard; briefly forgetting to tease. To his surprise, that technique Eydís used upon him felt incredibly useful!

“Seleen…do you really expect people to not react like this?” Axel began talking more fluently through his gasps. He’d grown no less fidgety, though his increase in focus struck mild fright into Seleen. “I seem to recall you mention…how you’re also acting in your own interest? You’re clearly after my cock! Stop acting so counter-intuitive Seleen; let my ravenous cock explore your lustful body! We’ve proved that you yourself can experience human pleasure. You’ll only be grateful to yourself later if you let me deep inside you!”

“Hmmm…how considerate…” Seleen’s predacious hunger quickly reignited. She leaned in further, her lips looming an inch away from his ear. “You propose facts that I find rather challenging to counter. After all, it’s true…I’m indeed acting oddly counter-intuitive for us, aren’t I? In that case, it’s decided…I’ll be partaking in as much of your greedy erection as I can fill myself with! Just…don’t assume you’re prepared for my heavenly entrance, Axel…men never predict what wonder they’re advancing into…”

Though the coils wrapping his chest and lower legs remained strict, Axel felt the pressure surround his waist slowly loosen, his weight resting itself against her coils as the tip of his cock gently slid against her body. He shuddered under the feeling of his erection as it pressed against her wet pussy, distracting him from expecting Seleen’s haughty giggling. She slowly returned the pressure around him, gradually inching the head of his cock within her. Her long serpentine tongue reached out to stroke his ear repeatedly, sharp tingles surging through his spine, before Axel’s eyes reunited with Seleen’s predatory gaze.

“Sssuch a good boy…rest well while this beauty before you captivates your entire unwavering length…”

Seleen’s adamant grip on Axel’s waist returned at full force, driving Axel deep within her hungry body. Both yelled out in bliss, Seleen cutting her vocal expression short as prideful laughter domineered her outward expression. She’d taken his entire length in with ease, her snug insides clasping away at his cock with a familiar pressure. Though she lacked the cosy warmth of a human, her soaking affectionate grip more than made up for it.

“Oohhh…Axel…I’m going…to indulge in plentiful enjoyment from you…!”

Axel felt the soft tip of her tail gracefully slide against his shoulder as the upper half of Seleen’s coils spiralled against his skin, unwrapping slowly without loosening her grip. Her arms fixated themselves around his torso, ensuring his sensitive body would feel every trace of comfort from her sliding scales. Hardly sparing a moment for Axel to realise, Seleen’s tail had snuck its way between them, enveloping a single wrapping of her serpentine body tightly around his chest. Her tail utilised what little space remained under her breasts, which now found themselves elevated into Axel’s fleeting range of sight.

The tip of her tail returned itself firmly upon his shoulder. Before he knew it, he’d been coiled back up against her with extra constriction, now with part of her coil tightly clasping his chest. His breathing grew slightly sharper and more rapid, lost in the trance of Seleen’s elegant body as she licked her gleaming lips. Her body began pulsating very gently, smooth vibrations caressing his body at nearly every angle, further intensifying his sensitivity.

His body moved back, pulled away by her forceful grip on his chest as his tender buttocks leaned against her reeling coils. Once the tip of his drenched cock met her entrance once again, Axel felt his body slam hard against her as his cock was shoved hard through her welcoming body. Again she drew him away before slamming him back within, then again…then again…then again…gradually hastening her precise rhythm while maintaining full length strokes upon his pampered erection.

“Aaaah, oh fuck! S-Seleen! This f-feels…aahh! Fucking hell!!” Try as he might, Axel’s speech could only demolish into broken swears. Keeping one arm around his torso, Seleen slid her other hand up to Axel’s neck, grabbing the hair behind his head once his vision lost its focus. Axel’s head was now locked in place along with his body, eyes unable to part from Seleen’s enticing glare. “Se-Seleen…f-fu-fuck…too…too much…it feels…aaahhh, too good!! I…I can barely handle it…!”

“Why of course! Don’t pretend my precious prey was provided no warning!” Seleen pulled his dazed head closer, pressing his lips against hers. Her body was pulsating with added vigour while her rapid breaths did their best to conceal her excitement. As Axel’s uncontainable moans vibrated through Seleen, her tongue inserted itself back inside him, exploring and massaging his own tongue yet again before attempting to mimic the palate strokes he had done upon her.

Seleen’s egotistical giggling returned under their breaths as Axel flinched and squealed uncontrollably. Though it hadn’t even been two whole minutes of repeated thrusting, Axel felt his erection further stiffen as a glint of energy pulsed at the tip. His head shook desperately in an attempt to break their kiss, managing to part with Seleen’s tight grip remaining on his hair.

“Seleen…I can’t…keep it in anymore…aahh…I’m…I’m gonna cum at this rate…!” To his surprise, Seleen didn’t tame her motion. Her thirsting smile widened, letting out a sharp hiss. Seleen pulled Axel in, her mouth near his ear as their searing cheeks pressed against one another.

“Gooooooood…” hissed Seleen, cool breaths emitting chills through his spine. “Cum hard for me, Axel! Launch your delectable semen deep within my luscious body! Bellow out your admiration for me as loud as you ever could! Cum inside me with maximum strength!!”

Finally triggered by a long and chilling lick against his entire ear, Axel felt his raging erection and entranced testicles resonate. Masses of semen pulsed through his cock as Seleen amped her rhythm, long and desperate moans greeting his sensitive ear. Had her voice not been placed so close, the thunderous echoes of Axel’s orgasm would have overpowered it with ease. Pure energy surged through his body, every muscle overwhelmed with the raw pleasure from his orgasm. Though his tense body tried to spasm wildly, Seleen’s domineering constrictions kept his immovable form in check.

Half a minute of overpowering bliss rushed through him. Seleen gave Axel’s erection one final thrust into her, squeezing one additional pulse of cum from his trembling body. His limp, exhausted body laid still in her grip, Seleen providing an entire minute for his recuperation. Head resting against her shoulder, Axel spoke after having cleared his voice of relentless panting.

“Seleen…that felt…so incredible! Thank you…so much!” Though Seleen’s reaction wasn’t clear to see, she wasn’t keeping her visual or vocal pride subtle. “I guess I’m sorry for being so reluctant at first…I certainly did underestimate you…”

“All men do…such is a way of life. On the contrary, it at least confirmed long in advance your extent of enjoyment! As you can probably imagine, I’ve had an insufficient amount of men to share pleasure with due to my solitude. That’s especially true for these past few years. Goes without saying that I’m grateful for your presence…” Seleen’s voice wasn’t calming down much. Rather, she proceeded to suckle on Axel’s ear while it remained sensitive to her bliss, all while gently stroking his hair with her free hand.

Despite his lack of energy, her delicate wet stroking still jolted pleasure through him as it did before, leaving Axel to flinch and moan without control. When she eventually pulled back to stare once again, Axel glanced over to Eydís in hopes she was coping well enough.

Sure enough, she was staring intently with her lilac coloured eyes beaming forth. Her hands remained at her front, tendrils half-folded against her back. Seleen also glanced over slightly, a glint in her eyes expecting a sign of confession.

“Thank you, Seleen.” Eydís complimented, bowing forward faintly. “Master has been greatly satisfied to some of the highest extents of human pleasure, done so in a new and interesting manner. You’ve helped both Master and I in ensuring the best for his wellbeing. Once Master has rested up, we shall need to be taking our leave.”

“Hmm? I don’t recall implying he’s finished up yet…” Seleen grabbed Axel by the hair again, still restraining him with her coils. The tip of her tail reached over to her mouth as she sucked upon it deeply and slowly, coating it with her saliva. Once drenched, she popped it out of her mouth, placing her tail upon Axel’s chin. “Axel is going to cum twice for me! That’s why his delightful cock remains sealed within me…”

“Seleen, Master is a human. Male humans are not capable of experiencing multiple orgasms within a short stretch of time.”

“Watch and learn, mechanical mockery!” Like another hungry serpent, her tail slithered its way into Axel’s mouth. He gasped harder under his breath, contented by the smoothness of her tip and that empowering taste from her saliva. From his thirsty lips to just short of his throat, Seleen slowly drove her tail back and forth, intensifying both of their breathing rhythms. “You’d better…ha…appreciate this, Axel…! I guarantee…you’ll be ejaculating a second load within my coils very soon…haha…aaahhh…my tail certainly holds a delightful taste…doesn’t it…”

Axel gently nodded, almost absentmindedly. It was undeniable. His lips and tongue revelled in the silky smoothness as his gentle moans vibrated against it. Seleen’s flavourful saliva only added to his delight, that sour taste electrifying while soothing his naked restrained body. Feeling the flavour diminish into traces, Axel began sucking much harder as Seleen countered with stronger pushes.

She couldn’t hide it. Seleen’s breathing grew more rapid and vigorous, with strong quick pulses jetting through her entire body, emitting from the tip of her tail. Her gaze wasn’t averting from the sight of Axel, though her lips kept alternating between delightful gasping and self-biting. Clearly she’d forgotten this feeling when another being provided it. Her shock of mild embarrassment said it all.

Only further stimulated upon seeing Seleen’s reaction, Axel joyfully laid limp in Seleen’s tightening embrace, the skin across his body growing extra frail to her velvety scales and the tingling pulses he was sending through her. It dawned on Axel that he’d taken quite a liking to their mutual gaze. His sight felt fixated with added certainty upon the once domineering eyes of the lamia he’d been coiled with. To his surprise, Seleen was struggling to maintain her boastful glaring.

The numbness that had previously filled his cock was diminishing. Axel was once again starting to feel the adamant embrace of Seleen’s soaking vaginal walls. Her moans grew louder and jagged as the anticipation swelled up within. Despite her tight grip around Axel, she still shuffled her coils against him in alternating patterns, moans growing sharper as Axel’s erection magnified.

Seleen returned her predatory gaze to Axel, a sharp reminder piercing down his spine as to who exactly was in control. His subconscious mind bucked his hips back and forth in futility, unconvinced she could actually regain focus so suddenly. That proud smirk returned to her parted lips before her tailed popped out of Axel’s salivating mouth.

“Hmmm…seems somebody here grows overwhelmed in anticipation…” mocked Seleen. Her sharp glare narrowed as her serpentine tongue licked her lips.

“Haha…you’re…seriously trying to imply that only one of us feels that way…? Seriously Seleen…be more honest with your own emotions!”

Seleen raised her eyebrows, quietly letting out a sly hiss. Without a word, she reeled Axel’s body back, just enough for the tip of his enlarged penis to greet her vaginal entrance. Axel gasped meekly in shock and excitement before being thrusted back in with all her might. Though his erection could only feel half of the usual pleasure, his body still felt entranced within the confines of her body, alongside the tight stroke felt down his cock. He’d let out a loud moan to compliment the feeling, drowned out by the far louder delight that Seleen ‘s voice couldn’t contain.

“Such a lustful boy…” muttered Seleen, before leaning her lips up to Axel’s ear. “I suppose…it’s inevitable that you’d crave so much more of me! Perhaps you’re right though…I really should be more in touch with my own emotions…my true desires…” She painted his ear with her wet tongue, moaning hard against it. “You silly boy…you hold little foresight…of what primal rampage you’re soon to be up against…!”

With an arm around his torso and a hand fiercely gripping his hair, Axel’s body returned to being pulled back and forth with mighty vigour upon him. Each thrust sent the tip of his erection through as much of her as possible, his body slamming hard against her with echoing thuds. Warm erogenous sensations flowed through his cock yet again, pushing loud moans through his throat as he let Seleen have her way with his longing body.

Though his pelvis was repeatedly thrusted back and forth, his head remained locked in place. Seleen suckled passionately on his ear, moaning against him without remorse. Her loud vibrating voice sent Axel back into his trance, eyes lulling back while his bodily skin could only feel sensations against his head and pelvis.

Without letting her stamina or technique waver, Seleen maintained the powerful thrusting on Axel’s movement for many minutes. Occasionally she let out a haughty giggle, often interrupted by her uncontained moans of pleasure. Axel could only permit his trance to overpower him as he laid within Seleen, breathing loudly and heavily while his cock relentlessly slammed into her.

An added spark of energy flashed through his erection, persisting under the ecstasy Seleen was hurling him through. Axel gasped momentarily, Seleen’s sharp senses quietening her vocal expressions. He knew she was onto him, yet held no power or desire to fight against it.

“Oh…f-f-fu-fuck…it f-feels…s-so…” slurred Axel, his harsh gasping viciously interrupting.

“Ooohh…? Is my precious prey finally approaching an additional climax?” hissed Seleen. Her long tongue began stroking his neck momentarily, audibly grinning under the jolts of bliss she felt within Axel. “I can…certainly work with that…aahhh…I’m…going to squeeze every drop out of you! Cum for me, my cherished treat! Expel your entire aching load for me! It’s…all mine to obtain! Don’t keep…your empress…waiting! Bestow it all upon me, Axel!”

Her lips and tongue viciously suckled his ear, muttering echoes of her demands. Seleen’s overpowering grip and thrusting further strengthened towards their peak, rapidly losing any restraint in her venomous moans.

Within seconds, Axel felt that familiar surge of energy in full force. Seleen cheered in excitement upon feeling the approach of his second orgasm, mirroring his climax shortly after its arrival. Her thrusting upon Axel’s waist lost its consistency, as sporadic slamming took control of her.

Both lovers bellowed out in relentless ecstasy, spiralling their bliss through each other’s ears. An entire minute passed as Seleen slammed and shook uncontrollably. Both were digging each other nails into their backs in hopes of maintaining control, barely capable of standing upright. Though Axel’s cock had burnt out less than half way through Seleen’s orgasm, his trance persisted throughout, never ready for the blissful journey to end.

Seleen eventually slowed down, shaking and shuddering within the aftershocks of her orgasm. Her erratic panting allowed no words, only desperate attempts to relieve her exhaustion. She cosily held Axel in her continued embrace, mild panic striking her. She’d never overdone it until now. No doubt she drained Axel of energy, yet she couldn’t dare drop him to the ground!

Heavy metallic footsteps approached. Seleen glanced over to see the automaton standing in front, her tendrils finally back within her. One eye shone a brilliant lilac while the other shone an iridescent cyan. Eydís reached in, wrapping her arms around Seleen and the coiled Axel. Seleen finally loosened the strength of her coils slightly, primarily out of shock.

“Eydís…” stuttered Seleen. Neither she nor Axel retained the energy to properly speak, yet Seleen felt far too curious. “Why are you…expressing generosity? I could…easily have taken your man from you. Why does your grip on me feel so…supportive?”

“Though you have your rude moments Seleen, I do not hold contempt feelings towards you.” Eydís’s voice was quietening, nearing a whisper. “You brought great pleasure to Master, in a new way I had not known about prior to meeting you. Even if we never saw you again afterwards, your actions would still continue to help us both. For that, I am further grateful.”

“Hmm…it’s strange to witness such a positive reaction, though I can’t say I’m not fond of it…What about you, Axel? You appear to be as exhausted as I am!”

“Hehehe…I love you both…” slurred Axel, a tad high from the tranquillity.

“Why of course you do Axel…” Seleen gently stroked his cheek with the tip of her tail, satisfied by the joy she’s driven through him. “Though if you had to pick a favourite…which of us would you say…?”

“Oh, Eydís, definitely…” A shock of disappointment wrote itself across Seleen’s eyes. “Though it’s worth mentioning, that you’re easily a close second, Seleen…! Honestly, that’s quite the honour…!”

“Well, if you say so…” Seleen glanced over to Eydís, realising she’d been lifting them up slightly to ease their own weight. “I suppose…I could start to see why soon enough. Heh, I might not even have had the chance if Eydís here didn’t provide you with reassurance…”

“Probability that Master would have felt uncomfortable without my presence surpasses 75%.” Eydís tightened her embrace around the two, limiting her strength so that no discomfort could be inflicted. “Either way, it’s time for both of you to rest up. I’ll keep you here for however long is necessary. I’ll also remain attentive for any possible threats that may locate us.”

Submitting to their own exhaustion and the loving care from Eydís, Axel and Seleen drifted off into slumber. Before relaxing her eyes, Seleen gave an affectionate stare. Though she’d intended to mask her emotions, Seleen was clearly envisioning potential interactions in the future. So long as Eydís never left his side, Axel felt certain of safety, even within the embrace of a mystifying individual such as Seleen…

***

From what little skin remain exposed, chilling air latched onto Axel as he awoke. Leaning against his head were the cold foreheads of both Seleen and Eydís. Seleen remained in slumber, the face of a peaceful woman occupying her expression. Eydís was…pretending to sleep? Her eyelids were simply shut, with no emotion or intention being indicated.

She soon darted her eyes open, having sensed the subtle movements and breathing changes from Axel. Both eyes shone with their familiar amber.

“Good morning, Master.” whispered Eydís. A tiny smile formed among her mouth. “I hope your sleep was comforting. Fortunately, no other people came to visit. I suspected they might, given your noise from yesterday.”

“Ah, thank you Eydís…wow, it really is morning already…” A brief glance up above confirmed the radiance of dawn having already greeted them. “I slept great somehow. Seleen really is comfy. Do we, um…I guess we wait for her, right?”

“Indeed. I’ll keep her steady and upright until she awakens. Sorry Master, but you may have to wait a while.” Eydís’s following sentences were interrupted by the murmurs from Seleen, her face twitching in confusion before slowly opening her eyes.

“Huh…? Oh, you two…” Her smug demeanour hadn’t awoken with her. Unlike Axel, Seleen was evidently going to remain drowsy for a while, even after a flinch of fear soon jolted through her. “Ah, wait…you’re still here…? Oh no, I wasn’t supposed to leave myself vulnerable after that…”

“You have nothing to fear, Seleen.” stated Eydís. Her eyes had shifted back to cyan to properly evaluate Seleen’s odd reaction. “You seem to fear an alternate scenario in which you could have been attacked in your sleep by someone you do not entirely trust, correct?”

“Pretty much that, yes…I always made it a strict precaution of mine. Not everyone…well, never mind. If you two would rather get going then that’s fine, despite my fatigued state. Either way…I admittedly owe you gratitude Eydís…so thank you…”

“I was merely returning the favour in a sense, but your gratitude is appreciated.” With her eyes shifting back to amber, Eydís looked back to Axel. “Master, what would you like to do right now? Returning to your vehicle is probably the best option during this current situation.”

“Agreed. Let’s head back to my van and decide what to do from there. That and to resupply my food and such. Um, Seleen…if you really wanted to follow us then I wouldn’t be entirely opposed, but taking you to any human civilisation is probably out of the question.”

“I’ll indeed be joining you for now.” Seleen adamantly responded. “Though even as a former civilian of the local village, I doubt I’d be allowed to accept an invite regardless. Presuming your world isn’t ready, I wouldn’t bane the villagers with the fear of exposure. Actually, I’m uncertain if mentioning such a place was even a decent idea…”

“Local village…?” Axel’s barely tameable curiosity was dying to pounce forth. “Would that be any bit worth visiting for us?”

“Not in the slightest. For reasons I won’t elaborate on, I was exiled years ago. An unfamiliar human and automaton showing up? You can expect hostility. Still, me staying with you for now will guide you safely away from such a place, so I can help protect you in that regard…”

“Hmm, very well. In any case, I’m about ready to get going. As comfortable as you are Seleen…”

Taking the hint, Seleen reluctantly uncoiled Axel, both narrowly regaining composure when out of Eydís’s embrace. They slowly gathered their clothes before brushing of the dust from the ground, setting off down the rocky road yet again. Axel gladly held Eydís’s hand as they walked side by side, Seleen slithering forth with extra effort to take hold of his arm.

“Something you should both know…” said Seleen, genuine caution held in her voice. “I’m by no means the only village dweller to expend most of their days within these dull caves. Our playtime probably made your presence apparent to some extent. Worry not, for a certain someone out there can’t actually harm you, despite her obsession with people like yourself. Well…she probably won’t try to hurt you at least…”
