Tarcyll – The Spymaster

I have always been a sucker for female charms. I’m known for it at the golden court of Verdant. The pleasures were always shared, the ladies desiring me equally in my man and beast form. My favorite pastime was frolicking with nymphs and dryads in the perennial forests or savoring the exquisite charms of the Elven and Fae ladies in waiting of the king, sharing some of the willing ones with His Majesty himself. Yet I have never sought out a female again after receiving satisfaction. I have never craved her presence or hungered for her after the deed was done. Until now.

Is it the magic inside Celeste that hums to the beast inside me? Is it the throbbing, hypnotic pulse of the Crystal Serpent pulling me toward her, or is it her otherness, her human nature?

Since being inside Celeste for the first time, I find it hard to focus on something else. My other form threatens to come out, ravish her, force himself upon her, consume her. It’s getting harder to hold the beast back. I’m grateful for Diaphonus´ presence, not only for the mouth-watering sight of her being taken by the beautiful priest but also for his soothing nature. He senses when the beast starts distorting the constraints of my body and calms it with a spell.

With each release, I’m getting stronger. Diaphonus is getting mightier, too; a strange afterglow lingers in his gaze for hours after. An unsettling one. Is it hunger? Or greed? Something tells me that I need to be alert, and I follow him like the shadow I am, never leaving him alone with Celeste.

I should have known that the blissful Idyll we’ve lived in the last few days was doomed. I am a spy, a blade lurking in the shadows, an assassin whose survival depends on his gut feeling.

Yet my instincts were too busy getting high on her scent, seeing her break in my arms when I fuck her, drinking on the gentle magic she spills around her when she climaxes.

The disaster comes shortly just a few days after my arrival. Me and the priest watch helplessly how Celeste struggles to breathe, her delicate face distorted by panic and pain. I have never felt so helpless in my life.

She has mentioned her odd sickness before but never appeared ill to me. When her crisis strikes, the priest and I watch her terrified. The high elf shakes his head, explaining it is a sickness of the mind caused by anxiety and stress, and he can’t do much.

The woman explains that there s medicine for it in her realm; she just needs to buy it at a pharmacy. She adds that she is missing her sick mother and cat, which probably triggered the panic attack.

The priest and I exchange looks. The decision is quick. We will portal to her world and move away quickly.

Surely our arrival will draw the attention of the Dreadful One, so we have to be prepared.

Traveling between realms is easy now.
