Chronicles of Eden - Act III (2 page)

“Wait, what? Daniel?” Specca asked nervously.

“Well, I suppose I’ll just head back then,” Triska sighed. “I hope Daniel won’t mind if I get undressed like this when I get back, I’m just
so wet
now.” She then shrugged before bending over to reach for her sword and dagger, her rear being outlined very clearly to the nervous nixie who was staring at her with a stunned expression.

“What?” Specca cried out with a blush. “Wait a minute, you can’t just flaunt yourself like that in front of him!”

“I know, I feel so embarrassed having to do this,” Triska said looking down to her chest while pressing her arms against her bosom gently. “My clothing isn’t as thick as yours are, my shirt is totally see-through right now. I hope Daniel doesn’t notice.”

Specca’s eye twitched a few times before she shook her head wildly.

“No way, you can’t go back to the caravan like that! You’re not decent at all!”

She scrambled to get out of the water before Triska glanced to her then smirked playfully and gently kicked the nixie back into the river, the monster splashing into the water while flailing around.

“Hey, don’t let me spoil your fun in the water,” Triska said casually. “By all means take your time, I’m just going to go back to the caravan and slip out of these wet clothes.”

Specca surfaced again and wiped the water from her glasses before staring at the teen with a frustrated huff.

“Triska!” She looked over to the side where the caravan was located further away then back to Triska with a scowl. “Like heck you are, Triska. You can just stay there and dry off! I’m not letting you parade yourself around in front of Daniel like that! I’m going to keep him in the caravan until you dry off and get changed into new clothes, don’t even think about getting into that thing with him like that!”

Specca quickly swam off into the river towards where the caravan was upstream while Triska chuckled as she watched the nixie race back towards the others.

“I should have thought of that from the start.”

Triska then walked over to a nearby large stone and sat down on it, taking off her shirt and wringing it out with a giggle. She wrung out her shirt and shifted her shoulders around slightly to get her damp bra in a comfortable position, the girl then picking out a blade of grass from one of the cups and flicking it away. Putting on her shirt again she slid off her pants and started to wring them out as well, then put them back on while shaking her head slightly to get the water out of her ears. Walking over towards her boots she glanced around the area, with only the gentle rustling of trees and bushes nearby being heard or seen. She slipped on her boots, refastened her sword around her back, and then sheathed her dagger at her hip again.

“Honestly,” she said to herself. “The things I do just to keep everybody focused with Daniel’s quest out here, he’s so lucky to have me here with him.”

Shaking her head amusedly she then started walking back towards where the caravan was, her eyes looking around at the surrounding landscape and forest as she thought about where she was now.

‘Not too long ago I was just another fighter at Edgewood, and now I’m way out in The Outerlands with Daniel, surrounded by monsters, while traveling with monsters, to talk to monsters about peace. It’s still strange to think where life has taken me.’

“I never thought I’d be competing with other monster girls like this for him,” she said, partly amusingly and depressed at the same time. “I mean, I never thought I’d have to compete for him in the first place, every other girl in our village thought he was crazy. I was sure I’d have him all to myself, and yet here I am trying to win him over from three monsters.” Slowly a small smile formed on Triska’s face as she brushed her hair back behind her ear.

“Oh well, at least tonight it’s my turn, I just need to make it count. C’mon, Triska, don’t screw this up. You have to show Daniel that you’re the ideal girl for him.” She chuckled and formed her hand into a fist with a confident smile on her face. “No other girl, monster or human, is going to take him away from Triska Raylight!”

“Who’s Triska Raylight?” a girl’s voice asked from above.

“I’m Triska Raylight, I’m-” Triska started before freezing in place. She blinked then looked up to seeing a familiar butterfly girl sitting on a branch above her in a tree.

“You are? I never knew that, I thought you were called Triska,” Luna said curiously. Triska jumped and backed up from the tree as she saw the butterfly monster just watching her with a curious expression. She was dressed in her normal revealing outfit of foliage and petals, her brightly colored wings fluttering once behind her as she dangled her legs casually over the side of the branch.

“How come humans use two names? Isn’t one name enough?” Luna asked scratching her head.

“Luna? What are you doing here?” Triska asked putting her hands to her hips. She glanced around then looked at the butterfly girl with a dull expression. “Where’s your sister? How come she’s not with you?”

Luna glanced around then looked up innocently.

“I don’t know…”

“I think you do know, actually I think we both know. She’s trying to steal Daniel away right now, isn’t she?”

“I don’t know…” Luna said looking away while rubbing the back of her neck.

“Luna, why are you here all alone?” Triska asked walking up to the tree.

“Because I am…” Luna replied sheepishly. Triska just watched her for a moment then rolled her eyes.

“Come on down from there, you’re not fooling anyone.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Luna replied with a shrug. “I’m just sitting here. I’m not doing anything wrong by just sitting here, am I?”

Triska held a hand over her eyes tiredly for a minute then looked away with a small smirk.

“I suppose you’re not,” she reasoned. “Well then, I guess I’ll be going back now, I’m getting pretty hungry. Hmm, I think Alyssa made some cookies this morning now that I think about it, that sounds pretty tasty right now.”

Luna’s eyes snapped to her instantly with wonder, with Triska looking back up to her with a wink.

“Chocolate chip too,” Triska added.

“Alyssa made more cookies?” Luna breathed out in awe.

“I think she did,” Triska said before crossing her arms. “Tell you what, if you just tell me what Falla is up to I’ll let you have some.”

Luna’s eye twitched a bit before she quickly looked off to the side then back to Triska again.

“Um… but… I… she…”

“All you have to do is tell me, that’s it,” Triska said with a kind smile. “I promise I won’t tell Falla you said a word.”

Luna licked her lips and looked off into the distance then back to the human while bouncing anxiously on the branch.

“But… but… but…” she whined. Triska giggled and waved the girl down, with Luna promptly jumping down from the tree and landing next to her. The butterfly girl whimpered and looked back and forth between Triska and off to where the caravan was.

“Please, Luna?” Triska gently asked. “Just tell me. I promise I won’t get angry or try to hurt Falla at all.”

Luna looked to her with a whine while hopping around anxiously.

“But… um… well, you promise you won’t hurt her?”

“I promise on my life, Luna, I won’t lay a finger on her.”

Luna looked back and forth between her two options quickly, her hands fidgeting together in front of her while Triska watched with an amused smile. After a while Luna cried out and hugged Triska while burying her face into the human’s shoulder.

“Okay!” she cried out as she broke down crying. “Falla said she was going to wait for Daniel to walk over into the forest to pee and then she would grab him and take him away so she could get his seed! She said he would be defenseless with his pants down!”

Triska just stared over her shoulder with a blank expression while her hands remained at her sides. Luna shook her head and gripped Triska’s shirt tightly while she kept her eyes closed.

“She was just going to rape him a little bit to get his seed, just a little bit!”

Triska just stood there motionless while Luna sobbed onto her shoulder, then after a while breathed out and held Luna gently.

“Hey, there there, it’s okay.” Luna leaned back and looked at her with watery eyes, seeing the human smiling at her. “It’s okay, you don’t have to cry.”

“You’re not mad at me?” Luna asked while wiping her tears away.

“No, I’m not mad at you,” Triska reassured her. “You’re not doing anything to Daniel. In fact, why are you here? Why aren’t you with Falla when she rapes him?”

“Falla told me to wait far, far away from the caravan so I don’t screw this up for her,” Luna said sadly.

“Tsk tsk tsk,” Triska sympathized while shaking her head. “She wasn’t even going to share Daniel’s seed with you was she?”

“No, but that’s okay,” Luna said looking down with closed eyes. “I don’t want to ruin her chances of getting pregnant. I’ll get a human someday, I hope.”

“Aw, you poor thing,” Triska said with a small smile. “I’m sure you’ll find a man one day too.”

Luna sniffled then looked to Triska with a jump.

“Wait, you’re not going to go stop her are you? I didn’t screw up her chances again did I?”

Triska giggled and shook her head as she took hold of the butterfly girl’s hand.

“Luna, I promised I wouldn’t lay a finger on her, remember? I’m not going to go after her at all.”

“You’re not? Really?” Luna asked with a smile forming.

“Really,” Triska said with a nod. “Now, it’s not fair that you have to wait out here all alone while Falla’s raping Daniel, you deserve a treat too. How about you follow me back and we’ll see if Alyssa has any more cookies, sound good?”

“Cookies?” Luna asked with a squeak.

“Cookies,” Triska repeated with a warm smile.

“Cookies?” Luna asked with a bright smile.

“Cookies,” Triska repeated again with a nod.

“COOKIES?” Luna screamed with a deranged smile on her face. Triska just stared at her with wide eyes then slowly nodded.

“Yeah… cook-” she started before Luna pulled her into a big hug while laughing maniacally, the monster having a very twisted smile on her face while her eyes were wide.

“HAHAHAHAHA! I LOVE COOKIES! THANK YOU!” Luna yelled out while laughing uncontrollably. Triska glanced to her then looked ahead with a nervous smile, hesitating for a moment before carefully holding Luna as the butterfly girl laughed wildly in their embrace.

“Sure, Luna… sure,” she said shakily.

Luna laughed crazily in the girl’s arms for a while then started pulling on her arm as she tried to run towards where the caravan was.

“YAY, COOKIES!” Luna laughed while Triska slowly walked behind her, watching as Luna kept trying to run forward at full speed with a deranged smile on her face.

“Um, Luna?” Triska said with a weak smile. “There’s no rush, we don’t have to… run.”

Luna froze in place for a moment then looked back to her with a curious smile.

“Oh, okay then,” she said happily.

Triska just nodded slowly then walked alongside the girl as they made their way back towards the others. As they did she watched as Luna was skipping merrily next to her, holding the human’s hand while looking around at the trees with a curious smile.

‘She’s just so oblivious and innocent, and friendly too. I never thought monsters were capable of being like this before.’

Luna looked around at the trees and bushes while humming a happy tune to herself before turning to Triska with happy smile.

“So, are you pregnant?”

“What?” Triska cried out with a jump, her eyes looking at the butterfly girl with surprise. Luna looked at her curiously and tilted her head slightly in wonder.

“I asked if you’re pregnant.”

“No, I’m not pregnant, why would think I am?” Triska asked with a stunned expression.

“But aren’t you traveling with that human boy? I thought he was having sex with all of you.”

“What? No, we’re not… he’s not… no, none of us are pregnant,” Triska stammered while shaking her head. Luna showed a worried expression and nodded.

“Oh, I see, I’m sorry to hear that,” she said sadly. “What positions did you try with him? Maybe doing it a different way would help you get knocked up. When I get a man I want him to give it to me from behind, I figure if I’m down on my hands and knees he can get deeper inside of me to give me his seed. Maybe you should try that too, just have him give it to you from behind and make sure he thrusts nice and deep into your pussy.”

Triska just stared at her in stunned silence as words failed her.

‘Okay, maybe she’s not so innocent after all.’

“Um… that’s… uh…” Triska stuttered while looking at the monster like she was crazy. Luna giggled and nodded then looked to Triska’s stomach.

“Try that with Daniel next time you can, I bet that’ll get you knocked up for sure,” she said happily before looking ahead again with a happy smile. Triska however just continued to stare at Luna with a stunned expression.

“Uh… thanks for the tip,” Triska hesitantly said before looking ahead while trying to process hearing Luna speaking so casually about such an intimate thing. After a while she shook her head and glanced to Luna who kept skipping along playfully at her side.

“Say, Luna? Can I ask you a question?”

“Sure, what is it?” Luna asked with a flutter of her wings.

“How come you and Falla keep following us?” Triska asked as they stopped, with Luna looking at her curiously now. “Every day we’ve been out here you, or rather Falla, have been trying to get close to Daniel. Aren’t there other humans out there you can bother?”

“Bother? Am I bothering you?” Luna asked with a hurt expression, pulling her hand back away from Triska who hesitated before showing the girl a weak smile and shaking her head.

“I’m not trying to be mean,” Triska assured her. “It’s just… how come you keep chasing after Daniel?”

“Because Falla said that Daniel promised to get her pregnant, and we’re holding him to that.”

“Right, except, he
didn’t
promise her anything like that,” Triska pointed out while raising a finger. Luna looked at her curiously then down in thought.
