CH 74: Arrival at Fyre

Claire carried the near-unconscious Elsie back to the carriage. She didn’t bother with her pants or covering up. She would worry about it later, she needed to get her lover back inside. She held back a smirk as her lovers’ eyes followed the two as she walked to the back of the carriage.

Ursa, unlike the others, was doing her best not to stare. She had caught a glimpse of Claire’s gift through her clothing before, but seeing it out in the open nearly sent her over the edge. She had to rip her eyes off of Claire’s gift to focus on her tent. Her mind was filled with the image of Claire’s cock as she tried to set her tent up.

It was extremely difficult for the woman to do. Her inner thighs rubbed together as her womanhood burned. Her lust was overwhelming as she shakily set the tents up. She could barely wait to be under the tent so she could relieve her growing lust and the tension that was building up. If she wasn’t planning on joining before, catching a glimpse of Claire’s cock fully sold her on the idea.

She didn’t realize it was Claire’s aura that was affecting her to act so differently. But as she lay in the sleeping bag they had given her, she started to fantasize about the possibilities. She knew her parents would be upset with her forsaking combat for carnal pleasure, but she started not to care. They would understand if they faced the same temptations. She fell asleep listening to her future party members making love.

Ursa could barely hold eye contact with Claire the day after. Every time she glanced at the redhead, her mind was flooded with images of her last night. Her disheveled and dirtied clothes with splotches of white and the cock given to her from her Goddess. It glistened in the setting sun, coated in the liquid arousal of her lover. It made it hard for Ursa to look Claire in the eye.

Claire held back a smirk every time Ursa would steal a glance at her. It was quite cute to see such a hardened warrior act so nervous just by being around her. It reminded her of Ana when they were younger. With hindsight, her crush was obvious. Never being able to make eye contact and fidgeting while in her presence. She got hit with a wave of nostalgia as she thought about it.

Elsie, on the other hand, would laugh each time Ursa would turn away. She was snuggled up to Claire, teasing the warrior each time she looked over. She would giggle or snicker at Ursa when her face would redden. She found it quite fun to tease the uptight woman since none of the other members were that bothered by sex anymore. Her sister was caring less and less, so it was nice to tease someone new.

While Claire found Elsie’s behavior a bit cruel to the woman, it did make the final bit of travel fly by. Claire did feel quite flattered with each glance, her body tensing as those red eyes cautiously ogled her body. She wanted Ursa to just own up to her glances, but she’d have to wait. Ursa was fighting an internal battle within herself to keep focused on her mission and not on Claire’s body.

Instead of the three-day trip, they ended up arriving at the city of Fyre on the fourth day. It was the fief’s center of knowledge and magical technology. A place home to the fief’s magical university, which both twins looked into attending before becoming adventurers. There were artificial lights powered by magic lining the roads and more foreign magical tech. Jasmine was amazed at how different it was since the last time she visited.

It was nearly four times as big as the city of Clance and had far more buildings and districts. It might even rival some of the cities closer to the capital fief. Jasmine listened to Ana’s wonderment as she listed off all the technology Jasmine had never heard of. Ana was gushing about sustainable artificial light and what that would mean for the future, but Jasmine found it hard to follow.

Inside the cabin, Elsie was doing the same. They propped open some of the windows so the four inside could see the city. She pointed out lights, displays, and the clothing of the women. All things that were recently developed or innovated. Most of which Lily barely knew anything about. She furrowed her brow as Elsie described how stitching was made easier with magical tools, allowing for faster production. Lily was asking Elsie questions while Ursa tried her best not to glance at Claire.

Elsie’s voice began to drone out of the warrior’s mind as she glanced back at Claire. She was bent over to look through the window, her butt on clear display for Ursa. Ursa’s breath caught looking at her toned backside, her mouth drying as she subconsciously licked her lips. Her breathing intensified as she took in the sight before her. She had never been so captivated by a woman’s body before.

Time seemed to stop for a moment as Ursa fully took in the beauty of the female body before her. The slight flex to her muscles, the slight glimpse of a bulge, and the shapely butt that her eyes felt magnetized towards. She felt panic overcome her when Claire began to turn, the world was still muffled as she looked into her bright green eyes. She gulped when Claire’s face broke into a smile while the sounds around her slowly started registering.

“...oying the view?” Elsie’s smug voice finally broke through. She had that annoyingly smug smile that already annoyed Ursa. She looked down upon her with a seeming superiority that pulled Ursa out of her trance.

“So what if I am?” She grumbled out after a long pause. “Not like you’re any better. I can literally smell the lust radiate from you when you steal a glance.”

Elsie let out a laugh. “Not immediately turning away and blushing? That’s better… It’s so much more fun when there’s banter.” She said, sitting beside Ursa. She got real close and whispered. “But be careful with Claire. Compliment her too much and she might just explode…”

She let the word linger momentarily as she stared at Ursa’s reaction. She saw the innuendo register slowly through Ursa’s expression as her face changed from annoyance to blushing. Ursa glanced at Claire before looking back at Elsie while she fidgeted in her seat. Elsie’s giggle rang in her ears as she felt her chest burn. Ursa tried her best to not glance back at Claire but failed.

Claire had moved closer, now standing over Ursa. She looked up at Claire as Elsie whispered in her ear. “Come on… compliment her… you’ll see her grow before your eyes…”

Ursa gasped as she slowly looked down. Claire’s bulge was so close now; all she had to do was lean forward. Her mind hazed over for a moment before Claire reached out her hand. She tilted Ursa’s head up to look her in the eyes. “Sorry, Elsie can be a lot sometimes… I swear she gets better with time.”

Elsie let out a playful huff before crossing her arms. She was suppressing her smile and acting as if Claire just insulted her. “Woooow… I can be a lot, huh?” She said, with her smug smile breaking through. “That’s rich when you have this…”

Elsie grabbed at Claire’s growing erection. The redhead let out a gasp as Elsie rubbed her hand against her. “Fuck, Elsie… not in front of our guest.” Claire whimpered.

Both turned to look at their guest, who was enraptured by the display before her. Her wide, red eyes were focused intently on Elsie’s hand. Elsie bit her lip, enjoying the woman’s reaction far more than she had thought. “Come on… at this point, she might even join…” Elsie said. Ursa turned to Elsie, a brief silence falling over the cabin.

“I… I wou-” Ursa tried to get out as she stretched her hand out. She was mere inches from Elsie’s hand when Jasmine’s voice interrupted her.

“Hey! There’s a post office coming up, we’re going to be stopping soon. Make sure you girls are decent.” Their driver said. Ursa snapped out of her lustful trance, her eyes refocusing. The tension broke between the three as Ursa turned away from them.

“Awww… we were so close!” Elsie let out a playful whine. She tried to scooch closer to the woman, but Claire pulled her back.

“Let her be Elsie, that was enough teasing,” Claire whispered to Elsie. Elsie shuddered, feeling Claire’s breath hit her skin. She took a deep breath and nodded.

“Sorry… got carried away,” Elsie whispered back. She kissed Claire on the cheek before returning to Lily’s side. Lily had missed the entire interaction, she was too focused on the surrounding technology to notice. She took in every street lamp, trying her best to guess how they worked.

Elsie settled beside her, and Lily’s concentration finally broke. She turned to Elsie with curiosity and eyes filled with intrigue. “How do they work? How do they get magic to power them? What’s the source?” She asked rapidly.

Elsie giggled before responding. “Wiring. They built wires under the ground. Also, technically, it’s not magic powering the lights. They use electricity, like a form of lightning magic, to power the lights. The ‘lightning’ runs through the wires and illuminates the mana crystal within the lamp.” She explained. She did have to have Ana help her, she was much better at remembering this type of stuff.

“As for the power… they harnessed the nearby river to generate the electricity. That, however, neither of us know about exactly.” Elsie said with a sigh. “Fyre’s scholars keep it a secret. Elizabeth assumes it’s so they can control who knows and profit off of the idea themselves…”

“Interesting… So this uses electricity like the lettering system. But the source of said electricity is different.” Lily said, rubbing her chin.

“Right! Forgot those also use electricity...” Elsie said. “But yeah, Fyre is quickly becoming famous for the distribution of electricity throughout its city. The Capital’s scholars are doing their best to recreate it, but they can barely light up a district.”

“Interesting… you’d think the idea would be thought up in the capital. Not out here, so far away from all those resources.” Claire said, joining the two finally.

“Ana’s telling me it’s because of copper. Clance nearly supplies the entire country with copper ore… being so close made it easier to experiment with the metal.” Elsie said after a brief pause. “Makes sense, as that’s what the wiring is made out of.”

“Why copper?” Claire asked, tilting her head. She only knew copper as a softer version of iron. It would chip or lose its edge far faster than iron.

“Conducts electricity.” Both said at the same time. Claire gave them a confused look before Lily explained further. “Ah, conduct means it travels through. Think of it like water passing through a pipe. Copper acts as the pipe in this case.”

“Ohh, okay,” Claire said. She could understand that. “So it’s almost like the irrigation system back home? Transporting the water, or electricity in this case, to the crops.”

“Yes. Good girl.” Elsie said, reaching out to pat Claire’s head. “Knew you were more than just muscles…”
