Chapter 2: Power of the Warrior
Taking the King up on his offer to explore the Castle, Sylan tries to see if there's anyone he can empower here. But things become dangerous when Calamity's forces attack.
Sylan awoke the next morning, feeling strange as he prepared to go back to the castle... Before yesterday, he could have never dreamed to walk through those gates. But now he had the same access as a knight...
He walked into the entrance hall of the castle again, looking around. He still couldn't get over just how beautiful this place was. He wandered down a nearby hallway, thinking about the mission the King had given him. So, from his understanding... He had to find five women, and convince them to have sex in order to give them the power to stop this Calamity guy... It definitely made sense to look through the castle for this. Warrior, Mage, Archer, Healer... He could probably find any of those in this place. But how was he gonna convince anyone to sleep with him? He couldn't just say "oh I need to cum inside you to save the world..." Even if it was true it made him sound incredibly desperate.
Once he brought himself back to focusing on reality he realized that he'd stumbled onto the knights' training ground. The sounds of men and women grunting, armor clattering and swords clanging against each other and thudding against wood filled the air. Sylan grinned. Maybe this was gomna be where he found his Warrior!
He kept walking, looking around at the training knights... He needed one that wasn't sparring with someone else. He saw that there were a line of training dummies, and steadily made his way over to them. There were plenty of people training on the dummies, but only one of those was a woman. And she was beautiful... A fiery redhead with a hardened but still unblemished face, wearing armor light enough that Sylan could see her toned muscles and moderate proportions. This lady seemed like the perfect choice to pass on the power to...
Awkwardly, Sylan slid right up beside her, making sure to he out of sword range. He totally hadn't prepared any pickup lines, so he really hoped she wasn't the type to lash out at him.
"H-hey, uh... Hey."
A blush immediately filled his face as embarrassment from just how bad he kicked that off sank in. And it got even worse as the knight stopped her training just to look at him like he was an idiot.
"Do I wanna know why you're interrupting me?" She asked, clearly annoyed.
Sylan swallowed nervously.
"W-well, I... I just noticed that you're pretty... Good at using that sword..." He complimented her, feeling worse and worse at this the more time passed.
She then raised an eyebrow at him before starting to laugh.
"Oh my goddess, are you trying to hit on me? That's cute kid. You wanna hit on someone, find one of the nuns. I don't have time for you."
Sylan only managed to stand there feeling embarrassed for a good 30 seconds or so before he just bolted off feeling stupid. He went through the nearest door, shutting it behind him and sitting down on the nearest available furbiture... Which was a bed. He seemed to have ended up in the knights' barracks, though he didn't notice. All he knew was that he was embarrassed.
"Stupid, stupid stupid, I'm so stupid! How am I gonna find anyone to give these powers if I'm this bad at seducing women... Why did Arana have to make sex the way I have to do this, I'm so terrible..."
He then blinked as he realized where he was... And that he wasn't alone. There was a girl standing not ten feet away from him, looking at him like he was insane. She seemed to be wearing leather armor, but rather than a sword she was holding a broom... She had a slightly rounder face than the last girl, with blonde hair wrapped up into a ponytail, a freckled face and pale blue eyes. Sylan could tell she was somewhat toned as well, but her breasts were even smaller than the last girl's, probably in the A cup range. After a moment of awkward silence, she spoke up.
"Um... What? Did I hear all of that right?"
Sylan blushed, looking away from her.
"Great, now you're gonna think I'm crazy..."
Contrary to this, the girl went right up to where he was sitting and crossed her arms.
"Well that's rude. Assuming things of someone you just met."
He looked up at her, raising an eyebrow.
"Wait... You're serious? You aren't judging me for that?"
"Well you clearly didn't notice me when you ran in here. And you mentioned something about Arana? I heard there was some kind of Champion of Arana running around town... Is that you?"
Sylan nodded.
"Well, that's what the King called me at least... But I certainly don't feel like a champion."
The girl grinned.
"Then you're on a mission from the King, aren't you? I wasn't told what it was, but I did hear that much through rumors."
Sylan was surprised that he was getting anywhere with this girl... But he was glad she was so approachable. Maybe she'd actually listen to him...
"Well, you'd be right... Arana came to me in a dream, and told me I had the ability to give women powers if I slept with them."
It was the girl's turn to blush.
"So... The King told you to find women from the castle to sleep with?"
"Yes... But I'm not very good with women..."
She glanced to the door, blushing a bit more. Sylan could see the cogs turning in her head.
"Well... If it's an order from the King then I don't mind... I may only be a Squire... But, if you'd have me..."
Sylan's eyes widened, his heart racing. He quickly stood up, taking her hands into his.
"Truly? You'll try it?"
She nodded, seemingly too embarrassed to speak. However that nod was all Sylan needed to lean forward and kiss her. She didn't resist, throwing her arms around him as he reached down and grabbed her perky ass. She moaned into their kiss, looking over at him nervously. Her nerves seemed to boost Sylan's confidence more, and he would begin to work off the girl's armor. She helped him slide jt off since he wasn't familiar with how armor worked, and in no time the leather hit the floor with a soft thud.
They had broken the kiss now, and the girl was now only wearing her cloth underclothes. She looked over at him, uncertainty on her face.
"You... You're sure this is going to give me power... Right?"
He felt a pang in his heart at that. He really didn't know... But the King seemed to trust that their dreams were true...
"Arana predicted Calamity's forces... So this must be true too."
She nodded again, closing her eyes as she begun to strip off the rest of her clothes. Sylan watched as her toned stomach and small breasts were revealed to him, as well as her slim hips. Sylan laid her down on the bed, starting to awkwardly undress himself as well. He wasn't very confident in his body, but she at least seemed nervous too...
As he slipped off his pantd and underwear, the girl audibly gasped. She seemed to be intimidated just a little bit by the 8 inch cock that floppee out.
"It... It's so big... Is that really gonna fit...?"
Sylan's heart raced, and he paused for a moment. A compliment like that from a girl this cute really wasn't fair... He confidently took hold of her legs and spread them, resting his cock against her pussy. He leaned down and kissed her, which caused her to yelp slightly in surprise, but not struggle or anything... He could tell that she really wanted to do this...
"I've never done this before..." He admitted, "but I'll do my best to make it fit."
She blushed slightly, looking away.
"Thank you..."
He rubbed his rod against her soaking folds a few times, before awkwardly lining up the tip with her entrance and slowly pushing in. They both let out moans as inch after inch sank into her pussy, and Sylan was easily overwhelmed by the feeling of such a warm, wet softness enveloping and squeezing his shaft. He kept pushing in until he felt the tip of his cock press against something, causing her breath to hitch. He paused, looking down at her.
"Are... Are you okay?"
Holding her hand in front of her mouth, she nodded.
"I'm sorry... It just... Felt good~"
Being egged on by this, Sylan pulled back and started thrusting into her again and again. With each pound of her pussy her breasts would bounce, and she would yelp cutely as his cock knocked against her cervix.
"Goddess you're cute..." Sylan grunted out, fucking her into the bed. She couldn't prevent the loud moans from escaping her lips, and her cunny soon began to tighten on him.
"Y-you'll pull out right...?" She asked nervously, feeling him start to throb inside her.
"I can't... I have to do it inside..."
She blushed deeply in response. Her walls tightening and his cock's throbbing grew more and more intense... While the Squire girl wanted to object at the last second, she had already started cumming. She screamed in pleasure as her pussy walls milked his shaft, and she could feel his cock start to spurt cum into her at the same time. Sylan couldn't have pulled out if he wanted to, and just kept pumping more and more seed directly into this girl's womb. Eventually, both of their climaxes would die down, leaving him feeling pretty good... But he saw how nervous she looked.
"Uh..." He began, trying to fight his foggy mind, "Are you okay...?"
She rested a hand on her stomach, blushing.
"You... Really did it inside... C-can I still get pregnant from this...?"
Sylan slowly pulled out, realization hitting him and a blush crossing his face.
"Oh... Um, I don't know... I sure hope not..."
Despite the panic he was feeling, Sylan couldn't help but enjoy the sight of his thick cum spilling out of her pussy.
"I'm sorry, really... It's just what Arana said I had to do in order to give out these powers..."
She nodded, taking a deep breath and sitting up. She looked down at herself, blinking a couple times.
"Well, I don't feel anything..."
Another guilty pang ran through Sylan. Was it possible that he wasn't actually chosen for anything? Could this all be just a huge misunderstanding?
"I..."
Before he could say anything, the two of them could hear an incredibly loud sound from outside. It was unquestionably a roar, the horrifying scream of a monster. The two of them froze in terror for a good few seconds before the girl hopped righr off the bed, scrambling to get her clothes back on.
"Oh no... The castle's under attack isn't it... What have I been doing...?"
Once she was fully clothed and armored, she took a sword from the sword rack by the exit to the barracks and ran outside, leaving Sylan alone. He quickly got dressed, panicking a little.
"Hey! What do you think you're going to do against a monster like that?" He asked in concern, running outside after her.
What Sylan saw when he was outside made his jaw drop. The horrifying screech of the monster that was assailing the castle sounded very close, and several of the knights in the courtyard, as well as Sylan, all had to cup their ears since it was so loud. But that wasn't the end of it... At the far end of the courtyard, there was a massive stone wall. It must have been a hundred feet high, and was nearly as long as it was tall. The roaring of the monster seemed to be coming from right behind it. Sylan's suspicions were confirmed, as with a massive crashing noise, the wall just... Crumbled. Sylan hadn't even seen the cracks form, it just seemed to explode inwards. Massive chunks of rocks had squashed some of the knights that had been training not an hour ago, and while one of the chunks had been sent sailing straight at Cylan, the female knight he had tried flirting with earlier intercepted the rock and deflected it with her shield, safely protecting the helpless Sylan.
"Get the hell out of here! It's dangerous! Get deeper in the castle, now!"
Sylan froze, looking around for the Squire girl.
"I... But..."
The knight woman grabbed at Sylan and threw him towards the staircase that led back into the castle, resulting in a comical squeal of fear from Sylan.
"Peasants shouldn't be involved in our fights. Get going before you get hurt!"
Sylan did indeed retreat, but only far enough to still see what was happening. As the dust from the wall being destroyed cleared, a look of terror dawned on Sylan's face. The creature... It was a dragon! A massive, sleek black reptile that filled the entire space of the hole it had made in the wall, dwarfing the small building of the barracks... And his heart sank as he saw that Squire girl was closest to it. She was trembling in fear, it was impressive how she was still on her feet... The dragon reared its head again, letting out its piercing roar once again. It looked like the monster could swallow her whole with no difficulty if it wanted to...
"C-Captain... Help..." She whimpered, glancing over at the other knight. Thankfully the Captain had already drawn her sword and went to go rescue Squire girl.
"Archers!"
On the Captain's command, a rain of arrows from atop the inner walls assailed the dragon. However they might as well have been twigs, because they simply bounced off of the monster's scales. Distracted from the women on the ground, the dragon arched its head upwards, a blast of crimson flame erupting into the air. Sylan heard the pained screams of the rooftop archers burning to death, his heart racing as he panicked. How was anyone supposed to be able to take on something like this?
The Squire had finally fallen over from fear, and believing that the dragon was still distracted, the Captain kneeled down to check on her.
"Cindy, stay with me! You alright?"
Cindy gasped, pointing up.
"Captain, watch-!"
The Captain turned to see the dragon raising its claws and slamming down upon the duo. She raised her shield to block the blow, but it was futile. She had been hit, and not even blocking the attack would prove to be enough to stop the blow from sending her flying. Cindy, looking terrified, gripped her sword in desperation.
"Please... Someone... Please help..." She whimpered, the massive beast now staring her down directly. Like a massive snake, the dragon coiled its head back before striking forward, mouth open. It seemed like Cindy's fate was to become this thing's meal... Sylan couldn't watch. He closed his eyes, tears rolling down his face as he heard her scream...
"Wh-what...?"
Even with his eyes closed, Sylan could tell that it was Cindy's voice that said that. Reluctantly, he looked back out into the battlefield... And what he saw surprised him even more than the dragon's arrival... Cindy's body was glowing, the blonde girl now wearing a set of crimson plate armor. But that wasn't the surprising part. What shocked Sylan most was that she was holding the dragon's jaws open using nothing but her arms and legs. She seemed to be holding up the roof of its mouth with one hand, holding onto a tooth with the other, and prying its jaws open just by pushing.
"This power... No way... He wasn't making it up!" She cried out, throwing the creature's jaws open and jumping out before they closed again. The dragon roared at her, rearing back on its hind legs. The beast towered over her, spreading its wings and casting a shadow over the entire training grounds. But despite how intimidating the dragon looked, Cindy seemed to be without fear as she looked up into its face.
"You don't scare me anymore... I know I can beat you!" She shouted out, an ornate sword and shield appearing in her hands with a flash of light. The dragon let out another screech, belching a massive amount of flames down at her. She quickly raised the shield up to block the flames, which easily deflected them. A smirk crossed her face.
"This fire... I can't even feel its heat!"
She jumped up, leading with the shield. She wanted anyone who survived on the ground to be okay, and if it was this easy to deflect the fire then it should be better to do this. As she neared the beast's mouth however, it stopped breathing fire and imstead opted to snap at her with its jaws again. Unable to dodge in midair, Cindy did end up in its mouth again. However, one thing was different this time... She was holding her sword. Without hesitation, she immediately jammed the blade into the roof of its mouth, causing it to cry out in pain. She grit her teeth as she saw flames start to form in its throat, and unsummoned her shield in order to hold the hilt of the sword with both hands. With a tremendous roar of effort, Cindy swung the sword in a massive arc. This, much to even her surprise, cut the dragon clean in half. Her eyes widened as she started to fall between the cleaved halves of the monster, hitting the ground with nowhere near as much grace as she had left it. The dragon fell, crashing to the ground immediately after. Cindy was breathing pretty fast, a little shaken up by all of this. She looked down at her own hands.
"Wha... That was... Me?"
Without thinking, Sylan ran out towards where Cindy had fallen, immediately kneeling down and hugging her.
"That was amazing..."
She blushed, awkwardly hugging him back.
"Uh... Thanks... I'm still surprised it actually worked..."
The two of them looked into each other's eyes... A look of understanding. It was there and then that they knew that this was going to work out.
