Ryuku fumbled up the steps towards the temple. Thirty-thousand and fifteen steps. To any other person, it would seem sheer madness to put that many steps up a mountain to only terminate at an apparently dilapidated place formally used to venerate the Ancient Ones. The sweat dripped down her bosom, forming abstract symbols upon her shirt disturbingly similar...
This is one of those "I had a strange thing happen and I need to tell somebody" stories. But I really do need to tell someone because I just can not get it out of my head. It's not really guilt... more a fear I may be going insane. Well, that is if not being able to tell the difference between fantasy and reality classifies as insane. I mean I know what I am...
"You'd best go now," Harzen said jovially as they finished dinner. "You don't want to be late." He'd been quite a bit more personable this afternoon, since Zhair'lo's message had come. There hadn't been any talk of rejecting the 'request'. He'd shown it to Harzen by way of wondering if he could get the evening off. Harzen had brightened considerably since...
We have been walking all day, you and I, through rainforest ruins. The approved tour path leads us through great halls of the Aztecs, temples, dwellings. The jungle around us fills our world with wild sounds: growling, chirping, rustling, mating calls, and occasional roars. On our map is a red circle approximately two miles off of the beaten path. You notice...
"Listen, Honey, Stranglethorn Vale is no place for a sweet little night elf like you." Elunara sighed. "Look, I'm on commission from the SI:7, here are my orders." She held up the paper. "All I'm really asking; is for you to get me to my drop off point." "Aw, let her, Robert." Another man snorted. Robert rubbed his neck. "We just don't have the man power...
It was completely dark in the aged cathedral except for the hypnotic flickering of the large candles and massive, smoky smoking torches which cast eerie shadows along the rough stone walls. The air was intoxicatingly heavy with the smell of sandalwood incense and anticipation. There was a hushed silence except for the sounds of shifting robes and the breathi...
NOTE: This is part of a multi-chapter story of which there are forty chapters plus an epilogue. An uncompleted version of this story appeared here at Literotica a few years ago in case it looks familiar to you. The story has been revised and completed. Chapters 37 - 40 and the epilogue are all new material. As Jana entered her room, she could still see the...
It was very dark in these woods but not threatening, the trees are friends of mine and as such do not scare me. The stars were very bright this night, the sky was clear and the air was warm. I took a path that was unknown to me but felt familiar in my treading it. As I walked this path, I could hear the night birds in their roosts and the padding of wolves....
She was now deemed by her protectorate to be ready for the transformation, the critical time had come, unknown to Raven all the necessary preparations had been made long ago. She was different, that she knew already, her senses had always been keener than other children, she had always been quicker, brighter, more mentally agile than most others including ma...
Shereena wasn't sure if she had made the wisest decision, but Vivian seemed harmless enough. Like her, Vivian was a priestess, but similarities ended there. Shereena was a young initiate to the goddess of life, and had yet earned the right to take her vows and enter the order as a full fledged priestess. Vivian was a secretive and seductive priestess to the...
