The Revelation of Helfer

In which Kitty gets a nice belly rub, Ubergard get's all angsty, and Helfer does something unexpected.


| Kitty and Mikael returned to the Winking Skeever to find Ubergard talking with a male Khajiit in the tavern so they left her alone and took some food up to their room. | | | "Well, I'm glad she's not just sitting down there drinking her problems away anyway," Kitty said to Mikael as they were getting ready for bed later.

Mikael nodded in agreement. "Still, it's a hard thing to do... breaking up I mean."

"Promise me whatever happens between us, we'll still be friends?" Kitty asked.

"Look, Kitty. I have to be honest with you. I would be fine with it until you fell in love with someone else. That would be tough. I don't think I can make that promise. But I can at least promise I won't hate you, because you've been honest with me. But it's hard to think that someone I care about so deeply cares more for another."

"Yeah, I suppose so. I guess we'll just have to take it one day at a time." | | | "That's all anyone can do really. Predicting the future is a fool's errand."

Kitty came to him then and they embraced. "You are no fool, Mikael."

"No nightie tonight?"

Kitty smiled her playful smile. "No need. I have you to keep me warm! You won't be needing these underwear either." | | | Mikael lay against Kitty, stroking her fur after they had made love again, not pausing at her erogenous zones as he might have done earlier, but not avoiding them either.

"That feels nice," she said, beginning to drift off to sleep.

Nearby they heard Ubergard's door close and the sound of voices from her room.

Kitty spoke softly to Mikael, "Doesn't sound like Helfer."

"No, it doesn't. The Khajiit do you think?"

Kitty shrugged. "None of our business. If Ubergard wants to tell us, she will."

The voices in the next room went quiet and Kitty pulled Mikael's hand back onto her body. "Keep doing that. It's awesome."

Mikael did as he was told until both he and Kitty slept. | | | Mikael awoke first, noting the dim light of early morning in the window. He looked at the sleeping Kitty and woke her with a long kiss on her rump which strayed somewhat lower yet. She awoke with a smile and a moan, but he ceased his stimulation.

"Why stop?" she asked, mildly annoyed.

"Time to go, Kitty. We can have more of that when we get home. For now, we need to get packed and on the road."

Kitty sighed, and then perked up. "We can have more of that in Morthal!" she pointed out.

Mikael smiled and kissed her before getting dressed. Kitty reluctantly did the same and in a few minutes they were out in the hall. | | | Kitty knocked on Ubergard's door. | | | The giantess opened the door and promised to meet them downstairs in a few minutes, so Mikael and Kitty settled their account with the bartender downstairs and waited on Ubergard who didn't take long to appear.

"Helfer didn't come back last night I guess?"

Ubergard shook her head, "she was pretty pissed off. I didn't really expect her back honestly. When I told her we were leaving this morning, she stormed out in a rage. The last straw I guess after I'd told her we were done earlier yesterday."

"Oh well, maybe it's good to break it off cleanly like that," Mikael offered.

"Maybe. Doesn't feel good though," Ubergard said. | | | A few hours later found them walking back down the road to Dragon Bridge. The conversation had been nothing serious, though Ubergard was back to her old silent self. Then suddenly, without turning back to face Kitty and Mikael, she said, "I'm not used to this you know. I've never had anything even close to a romantic relationship before. It... hurts. More than I expected."

Mikael replied first, "It does. There wouldn't be so many songs and stories about it were it not so powerful."

Kitty joined in then, "Do you think maybe you might have loved her after all?"

Ubergard, still walking ahead of them without turning around, answered her. "No. She just wasn't right for me. But damned if the sex wasn't good. I hope I gave her as much... pleasure as she gave me. I think I was addicted to it. I knew it would just hurt her more to stay with me, but I couldn't help myself. I hurt her for my own pleasure, and I never thought I'd be that kind of person." | | | Kitty and Mikael looked at each other, knowing there was no good answer for this. All three continued on in silence for a while before Ubergard spoke up again, this time her voice hoarse with emotion. "I won't do that again. It's too powerful."

Kitty replied quietly, "It's in your nature, Uber. You were just denying it all your life. If you continue denying it, you'll be fighting yourself. Better if you learn to control it than deny it."

Ubergard continued walking but Kitty noticed her posture straighten. "You're right Kitty. It's discipline I need, not denial. I will be more careful about who I share it with. So I won't hurt them."

"You could get hurt yourself you know. What if you fall in love with someone who doesn't love you back? It's hard to be sure."

"But that's life," Mikael interjected. "You have to take a risk of getting hurt, or you'll never know. Otherwise the result is just denial again."

They continued in silence again, each thinking their own thoughts till the town of Dragon Bridge came into view. | | | "We're making good time. Do you feel like stopping?" Mikael asked.

"No," Kitty answered. "No need to stop. I want to get home. Ok with you Uber?"

"Of course," the Argonian replied and they continued onto the bridge.

When they reached the apex, Ubergard stopped dead in her tracks.

"What is it Uber?" Kitty asked.

But she needed no answer when they all saw the familiar figure waiting at the end of the bridge. | | | She was standing naked, but the look on her face was undisguised fury.

"Helfer?" Ubergard called to her. "Are you alright?"

"Come closer and find out, Ubergod!" the Khajiit hissed.

Ubergard approached slowly with her hands up. "Helfer, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm really sorry!"

"Sorry? You are sorry? You should not be sorry, Ubergod. You are large. Helfer is only a small thing compared to you. You must hurt small things. All large things hurt small things." | | | Mikael and Kitty followed Ubergard's example, approaching slowly. This Khajiit was obviously disturbed, maybe even deranged.

Meanwhile, Helfer was continuing her speech. It seemed to be a prepared thing, thought Kitty. Maybe all night she had been working on it. That didn't bode well.

"...but Helfer is perhaps not so small as you think, Ubergod. Perhaps she is like those little ants that you step on, but perhaps this one has a bite. A sting. Don't you know that little things have a sting? Little things must carry a sting, if they are to survive."

"Helfer, I did NOT intend to hurt you! If I intended to hurt you, I would have continued to stay with you, don't you see? If I don't love you, then if I stayed with you I'd only be using you. I care about you too much to..."

"STOP!" Helfer suddenly said, and all three instinctively did so.

"Please, Helfer..." Ubergard began, but an insidious smile crept over Helfer's face. Then she shouted three odd words at Ubergard that no one else recognized, but whose results were unmistakable. | | | "Fus! Ro! Dah!" | |
